Dramatic head-cam footage captures a cyclist slamming on the brakes and stopping just inches from hitting a family crossing the road outside a school... but who was at fault?
Cyclist comes within inches of crashing into mother and two schoolchildren
Alan Fogg, 54, from Manchester had to brake harshly to avoid injuring the family
Head-cam shows the moment two small children appear in front of traffic near their school gates before the biker stops suddenly and crashes to the ground
Should the biker have been filtering through traffic or was the mother reckless?
By Rod Ardehali For Mailonline
This is the incredible moment a cyclist had to make a breakneck emergency stop in a desperate bid to avoid careering into a mother and two her children while passing a school.
Alan Fogg, 54, from Manchester, was riding through traffic in the Crumpsall area of the city at 8.45am when the family stepped out into his path.
The hospital technician came within inches of colliding with one of the children, and tumbled to the ground himself in the shocking close call.
A cyclist in Manchester narrowly avoided crashing into a mother and two schoolchildren after they crossed in between slow moving traffic near the school entrance. Alan Fogg, 54, stopped so hard he came tumbling off his bike. The shocking near miss was captured on his head-cam
Alan, who has cycled the same route for 27 years, said: 'I was picking my way through traffic going towards the school when the mother and her children came out of the traffic. I stopped as hard as I could because I was going to hit them.'
A camera attached to Alan's helmet caught the moment he was forced to brake suddenly in order to avoid seriously injuring the mother and her two children.
Alan said: 'I was picking my way through traffic going towards the school when the mother and her children came out of the traffic.
'I stopped as hard as I could because I was going to hit them and I stopped so quickly that I had the bike on its nose. I ended up falling on the floor but I was uninjured.

'It was good job that I didn't hit them because running into children is undesirable at the best of times. But you do your best not to hit anybody, let alone kids.'
Despite the close call, in the footage Alan can be heard laughing in the wake of the incident.
And he insists he will not be deviating from his route - the same journey has traveled to work for 27 years - but called on pedestrians and other road users to be more aware of cyclists.
Although neither the law nor the Highway Code states clearly whether cyclists undertaking through slow moving traffic is legal, it can be inferred as acceptable practice.
Rule 160 of the Highway Code states that road users should 'be aware of cycles and motorcycles who may be filtering through the traffic.'
While Rule 88 states that road users should take care and keep speed low when filtering in slow-moving traffic.
However, the first rule of the Green Cross Code is to find a designated crossing point like a pelican or zebra crossing where possible.
The pedestrians did not appear to be crossing at a designated point, and also ignored rule three which states 'if traffic is coming, let it pass' and to look around for traffic in every direction.
Alan, who claims cyclists are treated as 'second class citizens', said: 'I was laughing after I hit the ground because I had gotten away with it and it is quite exciting on the rare occasion that it does happen and there are no injuries.
'A child running out like that is a constant danger when you are travelling past a school at around 9am and this happened to me about 100 yards up the road around five or six years ago.
'I won't be changing my route because I have done the same one for 27 years.
'But the mother knew what she was doing when she ran out and it was her kids that she was putting at risk, not mine. Hopefully she learns to be a bit more careful next time.
'Cyclists are often ignored on the road and we are treated like second class citizens - it is an accepted form of prejudice.'

I love all kinds of salads and this quinoa salad is no exception. Today we will learn how to make quinoa salad following this easy recipe.
Cook quinoa, fluff it with a fork and leave it to cool. Check out my detailed post on how to cook quinoa.
Steam broccoli, chop it into bite size pieces and keep it ready.
Whisk together olive oil, salt and pepper powder.
In a bowl combine together, quinoa, steamed broccoli, chopped bell pepper, cucumber and the dressing. Mix until well combined.

Quinoa salad looks very yum and healthy!!


The Star Wars Saga toy line launched at midnight on April 23, 2002. Even though the toy line focused on Attack Of The Clones at first, Hasbro opted to not release these figures in Episode II specific packaging.
Many of the figures based on their Episode II appearance had action features, a gimmick Hasbro moved away from as the line progressed. Some of the more obscure highlights in the Star Wars Saga series included action figures of Ephant Mon, R1-G4, Wat Tambor and a Tusken Raider with a magnetic removable head.
Here is a list of basic figures which were released in 2002 during the Star Wars Saga series.
Super Battle Droid With Exploding Body Damage!
Here is a look at the 2003 basic figure line-up.
The figures listed here were released in 2004.
Following Star Wars figures were released in Hasbro's ULTRA assortment.
Here is a look at some of the "silver" figures which Hasbro released during the Star Wars SAGA series.
Listed here are figures which were released as mail-aways or other exclusives.
The figures listed here were packed-in together with vehicles.
Below are Star Wars action figures which were released in Hasbro's Deluxe assortment.
Anakin Skywalker with Force-Flipping Attack!
Count Dooku with Force-Flipping Attack!
Obi-Wan Kenobi with Force-Flipping Attack!
Hasbro released four different accessory packs as Target exclusives. The sets were slow sellers, and they could be found at some stores on clearance for as low as $3 each.
Hasbro released six different Screen Scenes during The SAGA toy line. There were two different Jedi Council 3-packs (the other sets were released during the Original Trilogy Collection in 2004), two different Geonosian War Room 3-packs and two different Star Wars Trash Compactor 2-packs. All sets combined included a total of 17 different Star Wars action figures.
Hasbro released five Star Wars Action Figures with a collectible cup. Each cup featured an artwork based on one of the movies. In 2004 only five Star Wars movies existed.


Here is our word list; sometimes we use the same word (usually verbs) to teach new tenses, new suffixes. So I deleted those repeated words mostly (not all, didn't want to spend too much time on it :)). That's why some skills seem empty: the verbs in these skills were taught before, and we focused on the suffix there.
On this list, you will see all verbs list as "Verb root -" (e.g. "ye-") because this is the root and you can conjugate it for different persons and tenses.
If someone wants to create a memrise or another vocab training course, feel free to do it.
Awesome! What is your Memrise name?
Thanks Sam. It is very much appreciated if you can finish the project.
Perhaps you can share the doc file on google docs and people can add meanings.
The memrise package still has errors. In the first lesson, we do not have a word called şu that means "that".
I haven't had much time to work on it this week, I'll fix it as soon as I can.
Excellent! But it would be even better if we had the translations too!
By the way, how can I download the chart?
sorry but you need to use a dictionary for that, I recommended several on my external sources post.
you can just copy and paste it as an excel list on your computer.
There is an easy way to get translations for these words that is 90% right: You can use Google Translate.
Just make a copy of the sheet in Google Sheets (File > Make Copy) so you can make changes. Then you create a new sheet (Insert > New Sheet).
You will get the same heading as in sheet Sayfa1 (BASICS 1). Drag and drop the blue square on A1 in Sayfa2 vertically until BQ1 (you have to use INSERT > 26 columns right two times to get as many columns as needed).
Now you have the same headings as in the original sheet. Let's translate the words now!
Google will translate "elma" from sheet Sayfa1, field A2 into "apple". You can translate into your mothertongue substituting "en" with your local code, such as "de" for German for "es" for Spanish.
You can now drag and drop the blue square vertically and horizontally to translate all Turkish words.
Note that it will take some time until Google translates all text.
You might have to look up some words, because even Google makes mistakes.
Last thing you should do to speed up the sheet is cuting out all translations (STR+Z) and use a special paste it in the same place: Go to Edit > Paste Special > Paste values only.
Go to A2 and you will see that there is no formula (=GoogleTranslate...) but just the text "elma".
Actually, once anyone has translated all words, he could again share the document with us!
Nice resource. I did find one error in "Phrases," though; "iyi geceler" and "iyi akşamlar" are both expected for "good night," but there's no way of telling which one is supposed to be used at any given moment.
Absolutely! I wasn't sure if it was yours or not, but it certainly makes it easier that you can do revisions.
Wow, thank you! Saving this post for when I get to later lessons!
Selcen, I wish you had shared a separate copy with write permissions (at least to those who requested) and people could fill in the meanings/alternatives.

The resto boasted an elite few for a private party on Jan 9th celebrating Dwayne Wade's birthday the night before the Raptors took on the Cavs at ACC. Hosted by none other than King James himself, this exclusive VIP party was also attended by the likes of Drizzy himself, OVO Chubbs, DJ Charlie B, DJ Meel, Baka Not Nice, Eric Da Jeweler, DJ Steph Floss, Future The Prince and more.
Although not certain, the menu looks like it will be focused around sushi and seafood and the theme, from the pictures of the Dwayne Wade party, it appears to be a classical supperclub vibe. We see a lot of the black & gold OVO, accented with teal velvet chairs and pearl white marble countertops.
Cocktails from Wade's Rémy Martin sponsored party will be permanently featured on the menu including the Six Spics Fashion (made with Rémy Martin VSOP, Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum, Six Spice syrup, Angostura bitters) and the classic Sazerac (made with Rémy Martin VSOP, Passionfruit Syrup, Peychauds and a Pernod rinse).
This is Drake's 2nd restaurant venture and although the official opening has yet to be announced, we will continue to update – so check back with us as for the latest on Pick 6.

FAST FORWARD FILM SERIES: Harun Farocki Still Life
Harun Farocki in Germany in April, 2014 with his 12-screen installation, "Workers Leaving the Factory in Eleven Decades." Credit: Carmen Jaspersen/European Pressephoto Agency
Sunday, December 6th, at 3 pm
This event is free and open to the public
More info: http://www.historicnorthampton.org/artifacts-of-fixation-dec.html
Harun Farocki (1944-2014) was an avant-garde German filmmaker and video artist whose work examined the ways images are used to inform, instruct, persuade and propagandize. Mr. Farocki made more than 100 films, many of them short experimental documentaries that explored contemporary life, and what he saw as its myriad depredations -- war, imprisonment, surveillance, capitalism -- through the visual stimuli that attend them. Ruminative, but with an undercurrent of urgency born of his longstanding social engagement, Mr. Farocki's films sought to illuminate the ways that the technology of image-making is used to shape public ideology. His work, shown on European television, has also been the subject of major exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London and elsewhere.
Writing about Mr. Farocki in 1992, The Los Angeles Times called him "surely one of the most challenging, speculative and distinctive filmmakers ever to confront an audience." Mr. Farocki's films were conspicuous assemblages, comprising found and archival footage including surveillance tapes, home movies and corporate training films. By juxtaposing such images, he sought both to highlight their curious commonalities and to put his finger on the political imperatives that lay beneath their flickering surfaces.
Mr. Farocki, who was deeply influenced by Bertolt Brecht and Jean-Luc Godard, studied at the German Film and Television Academy in West Berlin. He began making films -- from the very beginning, they were non-narrative essays on the politics of imagery -- in the mid-1960s. On the whole, Mr. Farocki's film seemed to say, under the strains of modern life, the objects bear up better than the people do.
The New York Times, August 23, 2014
Harun Farocki: Still Life, 1997, 58 minutes
In his film Still Life Harun Farocki connects the contemporary advertizing of consumer objects to the 17th century Flemish tradition of still life painting. Weaving together scenes from shoots advertising cheese, watches and beer, juxtaposed with 17th century still life paintings, Farocki explores the similarities and differences between these two image making traditions. As the final film in the series, Still Life gets at the essential question of the series' theme: how do we photograph objects?
The program will be introduced by Barton Byg, Professor of German at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Barton Byg teaches German literary and cultural studies as well as film studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is founding Director of the DEFA Film Library and a founding faculty member of the UMass Interdepartmental Program in Film Studies. His publications focus on the cinema and cultural legacy of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), the films of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub, documentary film and Cold War culture. His recent interdisciplinary teaching has focused on such topics as landscape and film, color, modern poetry and the culture of memory.
He is currently teaching a course on Brecht and World Cinema at Hampshire College, which he has dedicated to the memory of Harun Farocki.
The fall Fast Forward season is curated by Magda Bermudez, a media-artist based in Northampton MA. She has taught summer courses in non-fiction film for undergraduate and high school students through Hampshire College's Creative Media Institute, and teaches media-literacy at Amherst Cinema's See Hear Feel Film program for third graders. In her own work she is interested in discarded formats, objects and places, and is currently making a series films about the history of the Swift River Valley. Ms. Bermudez received her BA from Hampshire College.
Thanks to: The Goethe Institute Boston for making this film available to us.

Ladies and gentlemen, gather round. It's time for the very last episode of Killer Tunes. It's been a hoot doing this show every week for your listening pleasure. Currently my schedule is not permitting me the time i need to put the show together so I'm putting it on hiatus. Please enjoy this last episode. It's a gooders. This is the final episode in a four part series on Jim Dickinson and his great american music family.What a legacy! This weeks show includes tunes from: Lucero, The soundtrack to the amazing film Take Me To The River, North Mississippi Allstars, Anders Osborne (NMO) and Luther Dickinson.
Sit back. Plug in. Relax.
Today's episode of Killer Tunes is the third part in our four part series on the legacy of Jim Dickinson and his great american music family. The show features music from: The man himself, James Luther Dickinson, North Mississippi Allstars, Hill Country Review, The Black Crowes, John Hiatt and more. Tune in right below!
Here is the latest episode of Killer Tunes. It is part two in a four part series paying homage to the Legacy of the Great American Music Family of Jim Dickinson. This week's episode includes tunes from: North Mississippi All-Stars, RL Burnside, Jr. Kimborugh, Bob Dylan, The 'Mats, Big Star and more…Dig it!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Episode 48… But before we do, I 'd like to say that I am going to put Killer Tunes on hiatus after November. It's been a year of episodes and a lot of fun to put together but it has also been a very time consuming project. Lately I have been working a lot and the odd moment when I am not at work I like to spend with loved ones. As a result I have found it increasingly difficult to find time to properly put together each episode. It has been a labour of love but the time has come for me to more wisely spend my spare time. I believe 95.7fm The Wolf will continue to run re-runs so keep tuning in and you never know, I may occasionally put a show together. Thanks for tuning in each week. It's been a natural ball.
This month I am running a four episode feature on The Dickinson Family. James Luther Dickinson was the high priest of Memphis music and his storied legacy lives on through his sons, Cody and Luther. This months episodes of Killer Tunes will feature the music and legacy of this great american music family. Please enjoy and share widely.

We have been playing with water in our own pond and are learning about the life cycle of the frog.
We have a Travel Agents in our classroom where we are booking and researching holidays, making lists for holidays and exchanging money.
We are building Sydney Harbour Bridge this week and will be building other famous landmarks and buildings in the coming weeks.
These boys and girls haven't missed a single day ALL year. They had ice-cream in the park as a reward. Well Done everyone!
This week our class took on the "Cup Stack Challenge". We had to make a pyramid out of 6 plastic cups (3 on the bottom, 2 in the middle, 1 on the top). Easy right? Well, in this challenge we couldn't touch or move the cups with our hands, even if a cup fell over onto the floor!!
Instead, each person held onto one of the strings that were attached to a rubber band around the base of a cup. We worked together, pulling the rubber band apart and then bringing them back together over the cups. It was all about patience and team work!
It was lots of fun, and after we mastered our technique, we raced each other with different groups winning each time!
Winners of Marbles in the Jar for this week are 4th Class with 15marbles!!
There were 84 students in the school with Full Stamps this week and 27 Senior Students with Full Credits.


yep i never heard back from him neither, dunno what's up but, i still got his numebr mayb i might give it a call but it seems hessnt even logged in to cybertron.ca, maybe he left to somewhere.
oh dam sounds like he owes you, but, I can keep on trying to reach him by phone for you tho.
well the very last time I talked to him he said he's just been busy with work, so I'd say maybe wait, do you have something pending for him or something pending from him?
I know eh... WTF? LH Wally's need to stock some newer ROC waves stuff on the shelves. I'll peep it tomorrow man.
andi will give him a call on sunday night the best time to call him is at 11.50 he starts his work right then before that he doesn't pick up his phone, so that's the best time ican leave him a msg, no worries it'll get there, tho if you can help me with my 5 wanted bots in my thread please do any help is appreciated.


Surprisingly intuitive and fleshed out for development hardware. Bright, clear holograms. Interesting software selection.
Holograms only appear in a small section of your vision. Uncomfortable after extended periods. Gestures look silly.
The Development Edition of the Microsoft HoloLens augmented reality headset is a well-executed and tempting look at how we might use computers years in the future.

Briefly In Education
Drug prevention poster winners
The Brain Power Collaborative hosted its first annual alcohol and drug prevention poster contest and presented awards to participants at an awards ceremony Oct. 22 at the Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach.
The theme was "Happy to Be Alcohol and Drug Free." Award winners received certificates and a goodie bag filled with treats from the group's community partners, which are the Laguna Beach Police Department, Mothers Against Drunk Driving-Orange County and Drug Dependence-Orange County/Community Alliance Network.
Hannalir Green received the grand prize: a framed Wyland print, donated by Wyland Foundation.
First- through-third-grade winners were Green (first place), Brooke Beresford (second) and Rose Hunter and Emily Griffith (third). Fourth-through-sixth grade winners were Yasmine Hekmat (first place), Shiloah Hunter and Madison Stevens (second), and Baily Centorbi (third). For seventh and eighth grades, Natalie Houlus took first place. High school winners were: Anastasia Pellecchia (first place), Paul Manntel (second) and Victoria Medina (third).
Kids learn about space shuttle flight
The children of the Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach saw a special presentation, "Rockets in Space" Nov. 19, in which retired NASA engineer Stanley Greenberg illustrated the many steps required to prepare a space shuttle to launch.
Greenberg's presentation included photos of the space station, footprints on the moon and views of the earth from space, and helped the children realize just how big the space shuttle actually is "" "the weight of 600 elephants." He showed a photo of the external tank that connects to the shuttle and a person standing next to it so the children could put the size into perspective.
The children watched as the presentation led up to the actual launch. The step-by-step slide show of the shuttle blasting off into space provided them with a close-up behind-the-scenes view. Flames and smoke could be seen pouring from beneath the rocket as Greenberg explained how everyone had to get far away during the take-off because of the amount of heat generated from the launch.
The children were excited to see the shuttle blast off and to learn how they could become involved in the space program when they grow up. He let them know that there are a wide range of job opportunities associated with the space program that most people are not aware of, such as model making and sketching.
The club was introduced to Greenberg by Children First, a Merage Foundation retiree placement program that helps Orange County's skilled retired citizens contribute their time and experience to improve the odds that low-income children will grow up as healthy, educated and productive human beings.
Holiday story time and signing

Home Finance Robinhood is ...
Robinhood is launching high-interest, no-fee checking and savings accounts in its latest bid to 'democratize America's financial system' — and it doesn't care about losing money day 1
Dan DeFrancesco, Business Insider US
Robinhood co-founders and co-CEOs Baiju Bhatt and Vlad Tenev
Robinhood announced it will begin offering checking and savings accounts to customers.
The accounts have an interest rate of 3%, an industry high, and feature no fees.
The move is the next logical step for the company as it aims to 'democratize America's financial system,' according to co-CEO Baiju Bhatt.
Online brokerage Robinhood is taking another big step towards its goal of being the Amazon of financial services with a move that aims to help the fintech company carve away more business from big banks. And it doesn't care that it may lose money day one.
The trading app, which first made headlines five years ago when it launched its no-fee brokerage business, announced on Thursday it will begin offering checking and savings accounts to its six million customers.
The accounts will feature an industry-high 3% interest rate, which will be paid daily, and carry no fees or minimum deposits. Customers will receive a debit card issued through Mastercard that can be used at over 75,000 no-fee ATMs across the country.
The average US savings and checking account interest rates are 0.10%.and 0.08% respectively, according to data from Bankrate, which surveys 4,800 banks and credit unions in all 50 states. This year, Simple's rate for checking accounts of 2.02% is the best among lenders while CIT Bank and Citizens Access rate of 2.25% is tops among savings accounts.
Baiju Bhatt, the company's co-CEO and co-founder, said Robinhood plans to make money off the accounts via the interchange revenue from the debit card it will share with Mastercard and the yield from investing customers' capital in treasuries and government-grade assets.
While offering interest rates significantly higher than industry standards might sound like a losing proposition, Bhatt is adamant the venture will eventually be in the black.
"We do believe that this will be a profitable business for us, but it doesn't need to be profitable on day one," said Bhatt. "Over time we expect to have greater economies of scale, reduce our costs, incrementally increase the revenue that we make off the different lines of business and actually have this be a thriving and growing business for us."
Adding checking and savings accounts to Robinhood has been nearly two years in the making, Bhatt said, and was a natural next step for Robinhood. The company's mission is to make financial services accessible to all people regardless of their income.
"How could we take our approach of dramatically reducing the cost of financial services and passing it back to customers, how could we make this work in other aspects of the industry?" Bhatt said in an interview. "We said this with a rather lofty goal in mind, that if we were successful, our mission would be to democratize America's financial system. We view this product as one that really connects the dots between where we started and where our company is going in the future."
There will be a waitlist to get an account, Bhatt says, as was the case when the company began offering cryptocurrency trading at the beginning of the year. The first batch of cards will go out on December 18, Bhatt said, followed by a larger batch most likely issued the first week of January. The accounts will be just the beginning, he adds, as there is a full roadmap for 2019 of products built on top of the offering.
The announcement comes on the five-year anniversary of the company's launch of its initial offering: zero-commission stock trading. In May, Robinhood closed its latest $363 million funding round that valued the company at $5.6 billion.
"The people that have a lot of money are not the ones that are actually paying these fees that are stuffing the banks' coffers. It's people that actually have less money," Bhatt says. "For core, traditional banking services, it is actually more expensive for people that have less money and it is less expensive for the wealthier people, and we think that is pretty rotten. And we are building a product that really levels the playing field."

In Canada over the last few decades, education, occupational qualifications and work experience have been introduced as important criteria in the selection of potential immigrants. However, foreign "credentials" get very little or no recognition at all in Canada, a situation that reduces their holders to a non-qualified status. Hence, the fate of qualified immigrants on the Canadian labour market is becoming a growing concern amongst scholars and public policy analysts. It has been argued that an "equivalency" system between qualifications acquired abroad and Canadian (or provincial) qualifications could contribute to resolving this problem on the grounds that, if "translated" into domestic terms, foreign documents will be more recognizable to certifying bodies and potential employers in the job market. Quebec is among other provinces to have implemented such a system. Indeed, the Service d'equivalence of the Ministere des Communaute's culturelles et de l'Immigration (MCCI) is said to be the most comprehensive system in the country. However, no studies seem to have ever been conducted to evaluate the efficiency of such a system in assisting newcomers in the process of labour market integration. The objective of this thesis is, therefore, to examine the literature's claim that an equivalency document for foreign qualifications is an efficient tool in labour market integration in one's own field of expertise. This research is based on a survey of Quebec immigrants and its findings emanate from their personal experiences, perceptions and opinions. It was found not only that the equivalency certificate does not represent an efficient tool for labour market integration but also that rapid integration into the labour force is a priority over the equivalency process. The results of this research carry important messages that are worth considering in future policies or initiatives regarding foreign credentials.

If you are looking to remodel your bathroom and have limited space to work with then you may need to get creative. Bathroom designs for small spaces can help you make the most out of the space you have and still get the look you want. You can have a beautiful bathroom even on a limited budget.
One idea is to not have a full bathroom. If you are adding a guest bathroom, for instance, then you may go with a shower and not a full tub. Any small space can be turned into a bathroom to make the most of your living quarters and still have the home you want. There are very many options for you out there. You could go for the more conservative plan of a neutral paint and ceramic tiles with white or silver fittings, or you could get a professional design or just mix and match various colors and designs that you like. Here we have 25 bathroom ideas for small spaces to get inspired with this collection.

The lips are a very sensitive part of the face to all kinds of factors, whether climatic, food or derivatives of the products we use. Generally, lips expressed their lack of health in the form of cracks and peeling that cause irritation or burning, why require very special care to make this area look good, healthy and not a sign of discomfort.
Caring lips makes the face look healthy, fresh, with no signs of abuse. Also allows the lip makeup penetrate better, lasts a long time and so frame a beautiful smile. There are many ways to treat them when they are dry or cracked and also many other ways to prevent these states.
The skin of the lips is five times thinner than other parts of the face and they are so sensitive.
Dry, either by weather or by the action of air conditioners or heaters.
As this area of the skin is very thin, has a very light pink color indicates that the blood vessels are very near the surface. Thus, much more exposed to any aggression. In addition lips have no sebaceous glands that make them able to produce as many natural oils as does the rest of the skin.
Usually lips is start with a tightness sensation, dryness and perhaps look a little red. Then without not treated early start peeling, cracking and in some severe cases little injuries with bleeding and swelling in the area. It is also very likely to become infected, because it is an open wound. Here then the only way to cure them is by consulting a dermatologist who will recommend corticosteroid creams and bactericides.
Daily consumption of at least 2 liters of water will greatly help the skin look hydrated and good color.
Afterwards, due to the aggressions of the environment, you always need extra-moisturize the area through cocoa butters, lip or oils specially designed for this skin care. Its primary function is to provide needed moisture to replace the loss of natural oils and also provide a protective coating that keeps them hydrated for longer against hostile agents.
Several natural products on the market designed for different types of dry, taking into account the skin type of the person (the dry skin require constant hydration). Its use prevents develop various types of infection.

The Broken Pillar Story of San Juan Island's Most Interesting Monument
July 26, 2017 | Activities and Adventure, General, Harrison House Suites Blog and Videos, Recreation
Photos and content by Jennifer Furber published on July 25, 2017
Just a short drive from the Tucker House Inn is the historic village and resort of Roche Harbor. John S. McMillin, builder of the Roche Harbor town, was originally a Tacoma lawyer. He entered the lime business in 1886 after hearing of ships carrying lime from northern ports to California.
History of the McMillin Family
McMillin, a lifelong Republican, was a friend and advisor to Theodore Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt came to The San Juan Islands on a hunting expedition and visited McMillin at Roche. To impress McMillin, Roosevelt called in the destroyer USS Jones, which was about to sail to the Pacific, and had her anchored in the harbor. McMillian, in turn, impressed Roosevelt with a salmon BBQ on Henry Island. Following it was an evening banquet at Roche's pavilion. The night ended with dancing on a tree-lined barge that was anchored in the harbor, moored beside a barge which held the band that played for the dance. For more than 20 years the Roche Harbor Lime company ran a monopoly on all the lime business west of the Mississippi River. They sent much of the lime sold through Roche to California to manufacture the cement to rebuild San Francisco after the earthquake and fire of 1906. McMillin prided himself on helping rebuild San Francisco and felt great purpose. He talked openly about building a monument to honor his achievements and connections.
The Afterglow Vista
They named the family mausoleum the Afterglow Vista. They derived the name from the phenomenal play of colors in the channel's waters during Roche' summer sunsets. The Mausoleum stands tall in the center of a ten-acre forest plot adjacent to Roche Harbor Resort. You can reach the Mausoleum by a short trail passed fenced grave plots. You can access it by a pair of stairs, representative of the Masonic Order. On the east side of the great structure, the winding stairs are in reference to the winding spiritual life of us all. It is not a straight path to spirituality as no one can see the future. The stairs were built in sets of three, five, and seven to represent the three stages of life (youth, adulthood, and old age). The five stairs play homage to the five orders of architecture (Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite) as well as the five senses.The seven stairs honor the liberal arts and sciences (grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy). The circumference and diameter of the columns are the same as King Solomon's temple. The massive size of the mausoleum is almost incomparable to the deep meaning behind this structure. This San Juan Island landmark is the result of a lifetime of hard work. John McMillin thoughtfully incorporated symbols from Masonry, the Bible, Sigma Chi fraternity, and his own family unity.
Why the Broken Pillar?
They intentionally built the broken pillar in two sections. The space between the chairs nearest the pillar was left for the sun to shine through at the Vernal Equinox. Historically, the sunshine takes the place of all family members of the McMillin family forgone but not forgotten. It is evident in the bright light making the column complete. You can see this in the photo to the right! The broken pillar represents the broken line of life, how one often dies before his/her work is complete. In the center of the structure is a round table of limestone and cement and six stone and cement chairs. The chairs are arranged in the same order as the traditional McMillian family dining table had been for decades. Each chair base also serves as crypts for the ashes of the family. This formal sitting position of ashes represents a very symbolic reunion after death. The placement of the chairs strategically allow the June sun to shine through the broken column on the crypts of John S. and his wife. This unites the couple in everlasting light.
Visit the Mausoleum During Your Stay
When you stay at the Tucker House Inn or Harrison House Suites, you are just a short drive away from the Mausoleum. Make a trip out of it and visit Roche Harbor for dinner while you do!

Opinion|The Case for (Finally) Bombing Assad
Op-Ed Contributor
The Case for (Finally) Bombing Assad
By Dennis B. Ross and Andrew J. Tabler
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration wants to reduce the violence and suffering in Syria and, at the same time, quash jihadist groups there. This is why the White House is now pushing a plan for the United States to cooperate with the Russian military in Syria, sharing intelligence and coordinating airstrikes against the Islamic State and the Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front. In return, Russia would force the government of Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, to stop using barrel bombs and air attacks in areas in which neither extremist group is present.
Wiping out terrorist groups in Syria is an important goal and, after years of death and destruction, any agreement among the country's warring parties or their patrons may seem welcome. But the Obama administration's plan, opposed by many within the C.I.A., the State Department and the Pentagon, is flawed. Not only would it cement the Assad government's siege of the opposition-held city Aleppo, it would push terrorist groups and refugees into neighboring Turkey. Instead, the United States must use this opportunity to take a harder line against Mr. Assad and his allies.
Secretary of State John Kerry hopes that this understanding with Russia will help lead to progress on other issues, including restoring the "cessation of hostilities," a partial truce that began in February and broke down in May, and returning to negotiations on a political transition. These are reasonable goals, which are also embodied in a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted last December.

But a leaked text of the proposed agreement with Russia shows that it is riddled with dangerous loopholes. American and Russian representatives are now delineating areas where the Nusra Front is "concentrated" or "significant" and areas where other opposition groups dominate but "some possible Nusra presence" exists. This will still allow Mr. Assad and his Iranian and Russian backers to attack the non-Nusra opposition in those areas, as well as solidify the Syrian government's hold on power.
More worrying is that the Assad government lacks the manpower to hold rural Sunni areas and so will rely on Hezbollah and other Shiite militias to do so. These brutal sectarian groups will most likely force the Nusra Front and other Sunni rebels to decamp to Turkey, bringing them, and the threat of militant violence, closer to the West. The fighting will similarly displace Sunni civilians, leading more of them to try to make their way to Europe.
The administration's initiative with Russia is driven by either hope or desperation, but surely not by experience. During the partial truce, Russia took advantage of similar loopholes that permitted it and the Assad government to keep fighting the non-Nusra and non-Islamic State opposition. Such violations have allowed Mr. Assad and his allies to gain territory and besiege Aleppo.
The Obama administration appears to believe that President Vladimir V. Putin is looking for a way to limit Russia's involvement in the Syrian civil war. We doubt it. Mr. Putin is more interested in demonstrating that Russia and its friends are winning in Syria and the United States is losing. He will not alter his approach unless he becomes convinced that it has grown too expensive. Instead, because Mr. Putin knows the United States will not take action to punish Russia for its support for the Assad government, he and Mr. Assad will probably treat the emerging agreement no differently from the previous ones.
There is an alternative: Punish the Syrian government for violating the truce by using drones and cruise missiles to hit the Syrian military's airfields, bases and artillery positions where no Russian troops are present.
Opponents of these kinds of limited strikes say they would prompt Russia to escalate the conflict and suck the United States deeper into Syria. But these strikes would be conducted only if the Assad government was found to be violating the very truce that Russia says it is committed to. Notifying Russia that this will be the response could deter such violations of the truce and the proposed military agreement with Moscow. In any case, it would signal to Mr. Putin that his Syrian ally would pay a price if it did not maintain its side of the deal.
If Russia does want to limit its involvement in Syria, the threat of limited strikes should persuade it to make Mr. Assad behave. Conversely, if the skeptics are right that Mr. Putin will get serious about a political solution only if he sees the costs of backing Syria's government increasing, the threat of such strikes is probably the only way to start a political process to end the war.
Mr. Obama and Mr. Kerry have long said there is no military solution to the Syrian conflict. Unfortunately, Russia and Iran seem to think there is — or at least that no acceptable political outcome is possible without diminishing the rebels and strengthening the Syrian government. It is time for the United States to speak the language that Mr. Assad and Mr. Putin understand.
Dennis B. Ross, a former senior Middle East adviser to President Obama, and Andrew J. Tabler, the author, most recently, of "In the Lion's Den: An Eyewitness Account of Washington's Battle With Syria," are fellows at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

On Saturday, the Famliy Unity tour made a stop in Northglenn, Colorado - one of 23 cities visited on the tour to date. Our partners at the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (CIRC) helped organize turnout for the event. Over 1500 people gathered at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church to hear testimony from families who have suffered at the hands of our broken immigration system.
The Family Unity tour has brought together lawmakers, religious leaders, families and advocates in an unprecedented glimpse into the human side of the immigration debate.
At Saturday's event, attendees heard testimony from (among others) a child whose father had been arrested, a mother who feared for the safety of her family and a teacher who has seen the future of bright students destroyed by the broken system.
U.S. Rep Jared Polis and Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus' Immigration Task Force, were joined by Polis and Gutierrez were joined by Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput, the Revs. Greg Ames and Andrew Simpson, Imam Abdur-Rahim Ali and Rabbi Tirzah Firestone at the event, pushing for reform of a system that continues to separate children from parents and destroy families everyday.
"President Obama, you made a promise for comprehensive immigration reform, but in May you canceled a meeting and last Wednesday you canceled a meeting. You should cancel those orders of deportation, that's what you should be canceling.
"It's time we stop this immigration system that destroys families."

Geography is about the study of places, the human and physical processes that shape them and the people who live in them. It helps pupils make sense of their surroundings and the wider world and helps children understand the ways of life and cultures of people in other places.
We encourage our children to use their geographical skills when learning outside the classroom within our extensive school grounds. We have two residential visits within Key Stage 2 where children are also able to apply geographical knowledge and skills within different environments and settings.


That Alia Bhatt and Sonakshi Sinha's little romance with Indian wear has inspired us is no lie at all. This time though, we're moving away from the beautiful ensembles and putting the focus on their gorgeous jewelry. Both Alia and Sonakshi have been wearing stunning Indian jewelry along with their ensemble, which begs us to question – how much essential jewelry piece do we own? With too many options to choose from, accessorizing an Indian ensemble can be daunting. Ahead are some types of earrings you must own, for a fail-proof collection of Indian earrings.
The charm of jhumkas or jhumkis have been timeless – no wonder they work for most Indian or western (depending on your style of dressing) The good thing about these is that you will find in just about any style or metal – gold, silver, oxidized or multi-coloured. Stick with basic gold jhumkas to begin with.
With a telling like a name this, we are sure you've pictured them already. ( The above image helps too!) We love this kind because you don't always have to tie your hair up to make their presence felt. If they're long, you don't need a necklace along too.
Chandelier earrings are the chandeliers you wear – basically, these type of earrings begin with a small stud and become broader, much like a chandelier. They are a great way to add some glam on a simple outfit or even a snazzy festive one.
A traditional take on the classic hoop earrings, hoop ballis have the potential to look good with your everyday kurtas and your festive ones – depending on the type of detailing you pick.

When you want a long getaway, escape to Watch Hill Inn, the newest addition to the Ocean House Hotel Collection. This once residential complex in the heart of Watch Hill, Rhode Island, offers 19 spacious suites, all complete with gourmet kitchens, living rooms, washers and dryers, and spectacular views that will make it easy to linger there longer.
Sister property Ocean House is the grand dame of Watch Hill. But at Watch Hill Inn, you'll have the best access to the town's main drag, which includes chic souvenir shops with Lilly Pulitzer dresses, the historic "flying horse" carousel (one of the oldest carousels in the country) and St. Clair Annex — don't miss the restaurant's house-made ice cream in flavors like coffee Oreo before strolling back to your quaint cottage for an afternoon nap.
Details are a big deal to Watch Hill Inn's staff. Enjoy a glass of champagne at check-in and select your preferred bath products and scents from top lines like Asprey, Molton Brown and Red Flower, offered up in a chic beribboned bag to take to your room.
Service is discreet yet friendly, but don't reach for your wallet. Ocean House and its sister establishments' busboys, bellmen and drivers don't accept gratuities; exceptions are made for waitstaff and spa therapists.
A generous daily afternoon tea with refreshments like mini cupcakes will keep away the hunger pangs, and there are more small bites, beer and wine each evening. A daily continental breakfast is also available.
We love the Lilly Pulitzer Suite. The iconic designer fills the space with bright, beachy décor, from the bedspread and throws to pillows and bar accessories. A stay in the suite comes with a Lilly Pulitzer beach tote that you can take with you while you explore the coast on a Lilly Pulitzer x Martone bike.
As a guest of Watch Hill Inn, you can enjoy all that big sister Ocean House proper offers, as well as the neighboring property in the collection, Weekapaug Inn. Shared services include fine dining at Seasons restaurant (don't miss the delicious Sunday jazz brunch), the Five-Star OH! Spa and gym, a private beach, indoor and outdoor pools, and more.
When most people think of a beach vacation, they consider an extended stay. Watch Hill Inn is designed for guests staying a long weekend, week or even a month.
Watch Hill Inn proper doesn't offer a dedicated restaurant; you are welcome to dine at any of the Ocean House Collection's outlets.
Be sure to plan your visit between Memorial Day and Labor Day — the town closes down during the off-season.
The Mercedes house car can give you a lift anywhere you need to go.
Reserved parking (a premium in downtown Watch Hill) is gratis.
Each of the modern, residential-style condos — which begin at 650 square feet and extend to the 4,000-square-foot penthouse — feature distinct spaces for dining and entertaining.
Many accommodations even include large balconies with views of Narragansett Bay, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
Nautical, upscale décor in a soft blue and gray color palette creates a slightly more modern vibe than its sister properties (Weekapaug Inn and Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Ocean House), while techy touches like Sonos HiFi systems, streaming music and movies, in-room iPads and Apple TVs are a nice addition to gratis high-speed WiFi.

Deadly building collapse hits Cairo suburb
At least 17 killed and several feared trapped after residential building falls in western Cairo district of Matariya.
According to media reports, the building was inhabited by 25 people when it collapsed early on Tuesday [EPA]
At least 17 people were killed and several were feared trapped after an eight-story building collapsed in the western Cairo suburb of Matariya, Egyptian police officials have said.
The officials said that eight residents of the building were also injured when the building fell in early on Tuesday.
Rescue teams and neighbours were searching for survivors trapped under the rubble and several surrounding buildings have been evacuated.
Mamdouh Abdel-Qader, the head of Cairo Civil Defence, said rescuers recovered 17 bodies from the collapse. The official MENA news agency said workers pulled eight residents out of the rubble alive. Neighbours said those still buried made desperate mobile phone calls, begging for help.
"A man with his daughter was calling me saying they are trapped in darkness," said a dust-covered Ali Abdel-Fattah Ali, a government employee who moonlights as a mechanic in a nearby car repair shop. "I tried to call back but there was no answer. I don't know what happened. His phone is still ringing."
Cause of collapse
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, because they were not authorised to speak on the record, said the collapse was caused by unauthorised construction of several extra stories on the old building.
The son of the building's owner jumped off a balcony to escape the collapse, neighbours said. It was unclear who owned the building now as the owner had died six months ago.
Abdel-Khaleq Abdel-Hadi, a resident who was not in the building at the time of the collapse, accused local authorities of accepting bribes to hold off the execution of the court order.
"This is extreme act of negligence by our government ... where souls of people are worth nothing,'' said Abdel-Hadi, whose family fled the building once they felt it shaking.
Building collapses are relatively common in Egypt, where shoddy construction is widespread in shantytowns, poor city neighbourhoods and rural areas.
With a housing shortage and lax government oversight, developers seeking bigger profits frequently build without authorisation or permits.

These treatments, also known as chemical peels, range from superficial to medium depth. Our aestheticians will assess your skin, consider your skin type and sensitivity, customize your treatment, then proceed to treat your specific needs, such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, rosacea, uneven skin texture, and the need for skin detoxification and deep cleansing. We offer a variety of chemical treatments through medical-grade skincare lines, such as SkinMedica®, Melanage® Mini Peel, Glytone®, Obagi® Medical, and our MediSpa private label.
We ask that you do not use any retinoids or aggressive skincare products for one week (7 days) prior to your scheduled chemical treatment appointment in order to prevent any problems.
Most of our chemical treatments require an hour appointment. The patient may feel a mild tingling sensation during the chemical treatment.
The downtime after a chemical treatment varies from none at all to as much as several days of peeling or flaking. Yet, you can wear makeup during the recovery period, beginning the day after your treatment. You may also experience some redness, tenderness, and inflammation. In some cases, the skin can continue to flake for a period of two weeks after the chemical treatment.
Depending upon the type of chemical treatment the aesthetician recommends for your skin, she will suggest after care products, such as special cleansers or moisturizers. With most chemical treatments, you will be asked to hold off on any type of skincare regimen until the day after your treatment day. The aesthetician will also ask that you diligently wear sunscreen for a period of time after the chemical treatment, as your skin will be more vulnerable to the sun's rays.
Chemical treatments are very safe, but they must be administered by skilled and experienced professionals. Our medically trained staff at MediSpa are among Tennessee's most experienced and respected in the field of dermatology and cosmetics.


In March 2014 Budapest launched four concurrent design competitions for five separate museums, all located in the main City Park. The practice submitted this design for the House of Hungarian Music which was situated in the centre of the park.
The brief called for 8000m² of accommodation including permanent and temporary exhibition areas and a small auditorium. Our proposal split the programme into five angular volumes arranged to form an open central courtyard.


It can be a bitter time of year for many. The Harmattan season, in the West African subcontinent, sees dry, heavy winds come from the Sahara Desert, for four long months. As it blows, the wind picks up fine dust and sand particles(see main image below). This season can be a struggle for families battling poverty in poor housing. During Harmattan, the temperature can be unpredictably cold, and the dry, dusty conditions cause illness. Children without proper warm clothing and shelter suffer.

'A benchmark of quality and refinement' — the Virata Collection
Experts and family members remember the 'larger-than-life' Marie Theresa L. Virata, whose collection of classical Chinese furniture, ceramics, English furniture and decorative arts was assembled over 40 years — and is offered on 16 March
Over the course of three generations, the Virata family has assembled one of the most significant collections of Asian art in the Philippines. Started by 'larger-than-life' matriarch Marie Theresa L. Virata, also known as 'Bebe', the 40-year-old collection is a masterful blend of classical Chinese furniture, ceramics, English furniture and decorative arts.

Marie Theresa L. Virata, whose collection of classical Chinese and English furniture, ceramics and decorative arts represents an exquisite blend of Asian and Western aesthetics
The global scope of the collection and expert merging of cultural influences was inspired by Bebe's formative experiences in the foreign services. Leonides J.M. Virata explains that his grandmother Bebe 'always had that very global perspective and managed to forge real lasting relationships throughout her travels'. Her commanding presence also helped — a tall and elegant woman, 'she always made a visual impact', says Corazon S. Alvina, a friend and the Executive Director of the Museo ng Kaalamang Katutubo.
Bebe's collecting was rooted in her interest in archaeology and her desire to connect to the past. In 1966 she sponsored a school at the site of one of the most important excavations in Philippine history. She continued to be involved in the excavations of early export Chinese ceramics in association with Sir John Addis, the British ambassador to the Philippines and a collector of Chinese furniture.
The legendary dealer and collector Robert Hatfield Ellsworth was also a major influence in the shaping of Bebe's collection. His striking New York apartment on Fifth Avenue served as a model for her interiors, in which Chinese furniture and objects complemented Japanese screens, English furniture and European decorative arts — distinct elements coming together in finely balanced harmony.
The 'Piccus' cabinet. A very rare huanghuali compound cabinet and hat chest, dingxianggui. 17th century. 99 11/16 in (253.2 cm) high, 45 in (114.3 cm) wide, 22½ in (57.1 cm) deep. Estimate: $400,000-600,000. To be offered in The Marie Theresa L. Virata Collection of Asian Art: A Family Legacy on 16 March at Christie's New York
Other influences included dealers Nicholas Grindley, Grace Wu Bruce and Charles Wong, all of whom assisted with acquiring the significant examples of huanghuali and zitan furniture that form the crux of the Virata Collection. Standout pieces include the 17th-century huanghuali compound 'Piccus' cabinet; the 17th-century pair of huanghuali 'Southern official's hat' armchairs, also known as the 'Ecke Chairs'; and the 17th/18th-century pair of zitan 'official's hat' armchairs, 'the only known pair of zitan chairs in this style', according to Grindley.
The 'Ecke Chairs'. A very rare pair of huanghuali armchairs, nanguanmaoyi. Late Ming, 17th century. 39 in (99 cm) high, 24⅞ in (63 cm) wide, 20½ in (54.6 cm) deep. Estimate: $600,000–800,000. To be offered in The Marie Theresa L. Virata Collection of Asian Art: A Family Legacy on 16 March at Christie's New York
Comprising exquisite examples of beauty and craftsmanship, the collection's blend of East meets West has stood the test of time. 'The Virata Collection is a benchmark of quality and refinement in the study of Chinese furniture,' affirms Grindley.
The Marie Theresa L. Virata Collection of Asian Art: A Family Legacy auction takes place on 16 March at Christie's New York. Proceeds from the sale will be donated to charitable organisations benefiting impoverished children in the Philippines and to cancer research. In addition, a museum housing Bebe Virata's Philippine art collection, including sculpture, furniture, ceramics and indigenous gold ornaments, will also be funded.
