I'm a terrible person who doesn't moisturize my skin enough. I don't really like the feeling of heavy creams on my skin, weighing me down. The California Mango set features all sorts of rescue creams and lightweight lotions that relieve desperately dry skin. The only turnoff is the smell of the packaging or something. The actual products all smell like mango and other fruits. I played around with most of the products but not to the extent that I can do a review on them right now. I should really use these consistently so my hands don't look as scaly and filled with dry lines as they do.
Mango Buff Natural Exfoliating Scrub 2 oz: I haven't tried this out but it should remove dead skin. This will be great for elbows, kneecaps, and feet for summer silky-smooth skin.
Mango Miracle Cuticle Remover 0.5 fl oz: I tried this out but don't think I left it on long enough. It's supposed to make your cuticles softer so they're easier to push back or remove. I personally think that's not immunologically sound because bacteria can enter your body more easily. Always thinking medicine, eh? Though all the pros remove their cuticles for picture-perfect manicures. It also makes your nails seem longer by just trimming that centimeter of soft skin.
Mango Mend Cuticle and Nail Treatment Balm 0.25 fl oz: Mary swears by this. You can basically put this wherever you need the most moisture rescue and the oil takes care of the rest. She uses a thin layer before bed and lets it sink in while she catches her beauty sleep.
Sally Hansen HD in DVD: You can kind of see the purple on the sides of the bottle being reflected. It's such a pretty blue-purple micro-sparkle polish!
Thank you Mary for your generosity and beautiful polish swatches! Check out her blog and stay cool in the summer heat, lovelies!
ohhh how awesome lucky you!! Good luck on the MCAT study hard!! you'll do great!
hi angie! it's been awhile since you posted! i love the smell and taste of mangos... the products look delicious. haha i might lick my hands if i put that on.
love the nail color you have one!
I'm terrible at moisturizing too because I don't like the sticky feeling, but now I make myself carry a travel-size hand moisturizer in my white coat because otherwise my hands get really dry and crackly with all the numerous hand-washings I do throughout the day.
i thought u werent gonna post until u were done studying?!
You are so pretty! I love your blog!
If you want, can you following me back!
I love moisturisers but I don't like to smell of fruit... so I'm not sure I would use these. Pity because I quite like the packaging (very important!).
I love the blue nailpolish!
I love Delias, and that nail polish you're wearing! Looks like an awesome kit, but there are so. many. different. bottles. that I'd probably be bound to misuse one (or all) of them. Congrats on winning and GOOD LUCK STUDYING!
I love your mint polish! I am 100% too lazy to moisturize properly. : ( I should get a kit like that!
Ice cream is the first thing I think of when I see your mint polish. Also, The mango kit looks effective and pampering!
I'm not going to jinx anything for you, so farewell.
who is phil wong? i never really watch youtube. it is not nerd, it is called geek!

Massive US bomb 'killed 36 ISIS fighters and destroyed tunnel network'
The Afghan presidential palace said precautions were taken to avoid civilian casualties.

THE US MILITARY'S largest non-nuclear bomb killed at least 36 militants as it decimated a deep tunnel complex of the Islamic State group, Afghan officials say, ruling out any civilian casualties.
The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb – better known as the "Mother Of All Bombs" – hit IS hideouts in Achin district in eastern Nangarhar province yesterday.
"As a result of the bombing, key Daesh (IS) hideouts and deep tunnel complex were destroyed and 36 IS fighters were killed," the defence ministry said in a statement.
US President Donald Trump had earlier called the mission "very, very successful".
The huge bomb, delivered via an MC-130 transport plane, has a blast yield equivalent to 11 tons of TNT, and the weapon was originally designed as much to intimidate foes as to clear broad areas.
"The GBU-43/B is the largest non-nuclear bomb ever deployed in combat," Air Force spokesman Colonel Pat Ryder said.
Achin district governor Esmail Shinwari said the bomb landed in the Momand Dara area of Achin district.
"The explosion was the biggest I have ever seen. Towering flames engulfed the area," Shinwari told AFP.
"We don't know anything about the casualties so far, but since it is a Daesh (IS) stronghold we think a lot of Daesh fighters may have been killed."
Nangarhar, which borders Pakistan, is a hotbed of IS militancy. US forces have conducted a number of air strikes on jihadist bases in the area since August last year.
IS, notorious for its reign of terror in Syria and Iraq, has been making inroads into Afghanistan in recent years. It has attracted disaffected members of the Pakistani and Afghan Taliban as well as Uzbek Islamists.
But the group has been steadily losing territory in the face of heavy pressure both from US air strikes and a ground offensive led by Afghan forces.

The goal of the camp is to provide instruction in both acting and the theatre process! Participants will spend the day learning about the process of theatre through a variety of activities. These will include using the voice and body to create a believable character, improvisation techniques, and stage crafts such as costuming and stage makeup. There will a daily snack and/or your child can bring his or her own.
We will conclude with a camp performance!
June 18 – 22; June 25 – 29; July 16 – 20; July 23 – 27; and August 6 – 10.
One of My Bucket List Items is to sing the National Anthem to a Large Audience at a Sporting Event. And on this Day, I have been selected to accomplish this task at Oldsmobile/Cooley Law Stadium for the Home Game for the Lansing Lug Nuts. Being a Veteran, and a Traditionist I am honored to have been selected on The Real Day, rather than the convenience day. And I hope many of You will decide to show support for Our Local Farm Major League Team.
Some of You may wonder what Theatre and Base Ball have in common? And it's that We both support Lansing. Also, I am far from being the first Riverwalk Theatre Member to have been given this honor. So Please show up of You can.
On a personal note. Even though at this time, results are coming back really good on My Battle with Cancer, I plan to attend a Board Meeting to officially resign and offer to hand the reins of "Theatre Firearms Coordinator" over to My Son, William Timothy Beam. I will still assist Him as long as I can. We still have guns for Stage for any Play Project that needs them.
Tickets range from $8 to $15 and can be purchased online.
For tickets and further information see our website, http://www.overtheledge.orgor like us on Facebook.
The Downeaster is in desperate need of a 20s male for the role of Danny in Ring Around Rosalie, a 1930s farce!
This funny, fast-paced farce begins in 1933, at the end of Prohibition. Benito "Benny" Bellarosa, a New York gangster, is attempting to make good on his promise to become a respectable business man. His rebellious daughter Rosalie leads her father to believe that she is "in the family way," hoping he will allow her to leave the house and marry her boyfriend. Unfortunately Rosalie's lover disappears and Benny is left with more suitors (and daughters) than he can handle. Mistaken identities abound as Benny contends with his frantic wife, bumbling henchmen and an ambitious accountant. With the bankers arriving any moment, Benny is desperate to find a suitable husband and get a ring around Rosalie! Written by Whitney Ryan Garrity.
We perform the last two weekends of June, with rehearsals 7-10pm Sunday-Thursday at The Downeaster Theatre, 1120 North Pennsylvania Ave. Lansing.
Contact mailto:willsara@mail.gvsu.edu to schedule an audition or ask questions!
At Ixion Ensemble, we have had a bit of volatility in selecting our opening show slot for the 2018-2019 season. Our first choice was slow-rolling the rights. So we went with Plan "B".
Now, there is nothing wrong with Plan "B", except we sacrificed gender diversity in choosing it. While no show can check all the boxes (nor should a script be chosen solely on those merits) we think we can be a bit better. And we are asking you to help us.
We are taking script suggestions through June 15.
The scripts should feature no more than four actors — at least one of which should be a role open to women over the age of 40.
Bonus points if the script is written by a woman and/or offers well-rounded roles for a diversity of actors.
Bonus bonus points if it has a science fiction theme.
We are simply looking to the broad expertise of artists in the area to help us come up with a better answer.
Michael Hays, as director of the upcoming, hopefully-hilarious Riverwalk Theatre presentation of "Noises Off", is seeking to create a strong production team for the event. ALL positions are open at this time (see list below). Please do not eliminate yourself based on your inexperience, age, or any other factor; I find great reward in mentoring inexperienced personnel. Everyone is welcome to contact me regarding any position in which they are interested, at my email address: mailto:stage1actor@yahoo.com.
Just to give an overall idea of the timeframe, auditions will be held September 30, and October 1; opening night is November 29, and closing night (matinee) is December 9. Schedule conflicts in regards to Thanksgiving will not necessarily eliminate anyone. My hope is to have at least two production meetings before auditions take place.
This production hopes to be one of the most side-splitting shows in recent Riverwalk history, maybe even the Lansing community, at large. I further hope to create a true "family" of individuals all seeking that same vision. Please think about being a part of the "Noises Off" family!!
EAST LANSING, MI.— The best of Michigan's high school theatre students are coming together Sunday, May 20, at Wharton Center's Cobb Great Hall for the 7th Annual Sutton Foster Ovation Awards. The award is a celebration of outstanding achievement and recognizes individual artistry in vocal, dance and acting performances for both a male and female lead in a high school musical theatre production. It also honors the commitment of Michigan teachers and schools to excellence in performing arts education.
Forty-six high school thespians from across the state will compete on the Wharton Center stage for the coveted Sutton Foster Ovation Award. Of these select performers, one male and one female will be presented an Ovation Award by a prestigious panel including Broadway judges, and will go on to compete in the National High School Musical Theatre Awards in New York City on an all-expenses-paid trip this June. The winners will also each receive a scholarship to Wharton Center's summer Broadway workshop, Take It From The Top, as well as $1,000 in cash.
Last year's male winner, Antonio Cipriano, is making a name for himself in theatre. He was recently cast in the Broadway-bound company of the Alanis Morissette musical Jagged Little Pill. Cipriano has also recorded an album, Never Gonna Be The Same. After the 2017 Ovation Awards, Cipriano said his goal was "to be a performer"; something he continues to accomplish since winning the award.
The May 20 event will include a selection of Broadway tunes and dances performed by the students, culminating in the final awards ceremony. Parking will be free in the ramp adjacent to Wharton Center.

Smeaton's Tower is a memorial to civil engineer John Smeaton, designer of the third and most notable Eddystone Lighthouse. A major step forward in lighthouse design, Smeaton's structure was in use from 1759 to 1877, until erosion of the ledge it was built upon forced new construction.  The tower was largely dismantled and rebuilt on Plymouth Hoe in Plymouth, Devon, where it stands today.

History

Background
England's coasts are notorious for rough weather, dangerous seas and deathly obstacles. The Eddystone rocks are among them.

There were several attempts were made to place a marker on these reefs. The first attempt was called the Winstanley Lighthouse. After it was destroyed in the 1703 storm, a second one called the Rudyard lighthouse was built. This one was also destroyed, this time by a fire in 1755.

Born in Austhorpe, Yorkshire, England in 1724, John Smeaton is considered the father of civil engineering. Recognized for his scientific achievements, including the increased efficiency of water wheels.

After the Rudyard lighthouse was destroyed, there was intense pressure to build a third lighthouse quickly. Smeaton was recommended by the Royal Society to design a lighthouse on the Eddystone Rocks in what is considered his greatest achievement.

Construction

Smeaton had to build his lighthouse to be strong enough to survive the elements (the first lighthouse was destroyed in a storm). He began by designing his lighthouse to resemble an oak tree. This in itself made the tower into a strong shape.

He rediscovered the use of hydraulic lime, a form of concrete used in Roman times. The technique allowed concrete to set under water, as Smeaton put granite blocks together using dovetail joints and marble dowels.

Construction started in 1756 at a site in Millbay, where Smeaton built a jetty and a workyard in the south-western corner of the harbour to unload and work on stones. Timber rails of  gauge were laid for four-wheeled flat trucks, which were used to move masonry around the site. A 10-ton ship named Eddystone Boat was based here, and transported worked stones out to the reef. The ship carried the 2¼-ton foundation stone out in the morning of 12 June 1756.

The work was completed in August 1759 at a cost of £40,000 (£ with inflation).

Many Cornish tin miners were employed in its construction. To avoid the possibility of press ganging, a practice which was common at the time, Trinity House arranged with the Admiralty that the workers would be immune from the press. Each worker was issued a medal to confirm he was a worker at the lighthouse.

The lighthouse was  in height, and had a diameter at the base of  and at the top of .

As lighthouse

After the structure was completed, the lighthouse's 24 candles were lit on 16 October 1759. Each candle weighed between . A timepiece placed alongside the light was set to chime every half-hour (30 min), alerting the lighthouse keeper to the need to replace expired candles.

The lighthouse candles were replaced by oil lamps and reflectors from 1810. Further major renovations were carried out in 1841 by engineer Henry Norris, including the filling of a hole in the rock close to the tower's foundation. Four years later the oil lamps and reflectors were replaced with and improved lamp and Fresnel lens assembly.

The lighthouse remained in use until 1877, when it was discovered that rocks upon which it stood were becoming eroded. Each time a large wave hit, the lighthouse shook from side to side.

As memorial

Smeaton's Tower ceased operation in February 1882 following the installation of a temporary light atop its successor (Douglass's Tower), then under construction on an adjacent rock. In 1882, the upper part of Smeaton's Tower was dismantled and rebuilt as a memorial to Smeaton on a new base on Plymouth Hoe, replacing the triangular obelisk that had been built there by Trinity House as a navigation aid in the early 19th century.

The site was opened to the public by the Mayor of Plymouth on 24 September 1884.

The foundation and stub of the old tower remain on Eddystone Rocks, close to the current lighthouse. Since the foundation proved too strong to be dismantled, it was left where it stood. In 1860, a new penny coin was brought into circulation on which the lighthouse was depicted in the background behind Britannia, remaining on the penny until 1894. The lighthouse was also depicted on a number of tokens issued during the 19th century in Devon with face values from two pence to one shilling.

An 1850 replica of Smeaton's lighthouse, Hoad Monument, still stands above the town of Ulverston, Cumbria as a memorial to naval administrator Sir John Barrow.

On April 19, 1913, a home-made bomb with the words 'votes for women' and 'death in ten minutes' painted on the outside was found in the entrance to Smeaton's Tower, presumably as part of the campaign for women's suffrage. The wick had been lit but blew out in the wind, preventing detonation.

Smeaton's Tower has been a Grade I-listed building since 1954. It is open for visitors, who may climb 93 steps, including steep ladders, to the lantern room, and observe Plymouth Sound and the city.

On 15 October 2009, as part of a celebration organised by the Institution of Civil Engineers, the lantern of Smeaton's Tower was once again lit with 24 candles to mark the 250th anniversary of the lighthouse's first illumination.

Singer Chris Brown Is Being Sued For A Night Club Shooting That Happened Back In January
Singer Chris Brown Is Being Sued For A Night Club Shooting
That Happened Back In January
BHR Hollywood Reports............Chris Brown is back in trouble again. A man is suing the singer for a nightclub shooting that occurred back in January.
Paul Briley has filed a lawsuit against Brown and California's Fiesta Nightclub for negligence in relation to a shooting on Jan. 10 that left five attendees with at least one gunshot wound each.
Brown had been performing at the nightclub for a VIP birthday event.
Briley, 22, argues that the club should have had proper security measures in place, such as metal detectors and searching "bags and/or guns," due to similar incidents at events hosted by Brown.
"This shooting should never have happened," Briley's attorney, Richard Alexander, said in a statement.
"Brown's managers and the concert promoters know that violence follows in Brown's wake."
None of the shooting victims sustained life-threatening injuries, however Briley suffered "permanent injury" to his foot, the suit claims.
Brown's camp is calling the lawsuit "frivolous" and say they're working to have the claim dismissed.
"It is a poor reflection of our society that violence is so prevalent and it is always a tragedy when someone is physically harmed," Brown's reports.
"However, this is a completely frivolous lawsuit.
We expect that the case will be dismissed and in future, to avoid these reoccurring meritless lawsuits directed at Chris Brown, we plan to seek damages from all parties and their lawyers."
Brown has yet to publicly speak on the lawsuit.

Nike loves putting out sneakers in packs, Chinese new year, animal, Just do it and many more. Now it's time for the "Throwback future" pack which consists of six sneakers. All sneakers (except for the 720 and the Vapormax) within the package make use of the "Throwback future" color palette which consists of mostly black with bright blue and fuchsia.
The choice for the highspeed train inspired Air Max 97 LX makes a lot of sense when you know the name of the pack is inspired by the past views on the future. The sneaker gets the sleek upper you're used to from the Air Max 97. Materials used for the upper are a combination of synthetics, leather and mesh.
The Air Max 720 is logically chosen for this pack for it's futuristic look. This sneaker stands out from the rest of the pack with some olive green hints instead of bright blue and fuchsia. The black used on the upper stands out as well with the oily detail.
Then the Air Max Deluxe, a sneaker popularized again by UK grime rapper/style icon Skepta. The sneaker got it's first release way back in 1999. This is the most heavily colored sneaker in the pack and it works amazingly.
Last years Air Max 270 also gets it's very own spot in the "Throwback future" pack. Since the release of this years Air Max 720 the rate in which 270's are coming out has slowed down, this release may put it back on Nike's radar. The sneaker uses the mesh you're used to as well as all the other materials you know and love.
The oldest sneaker in the bunch does a calm take on the black, bright blue, fuchsia colorway. The interesting part to the Air Max 95 is that it was the first of the Air Max line which used the air technology in the front of the foot.
Finally there's the Vapormax 2019 run. The sleek running sneaker which looks best underneath a pair of slim fit joggers. This one leaves the fuchsia to the other sneakers and goes for the simplicity of a black upper and sole unit with the blue taping to finish it all off.

After you have determined that, then you're truly in charge of your hard earned money and may begin to gain momentum and also the true sense of control.
Like a creative-artistic entrepreneur, there are many hats to put on (oh goodness!) and also to that finish you have to balance your time and effort between your management and proper side of the business, along with caring for your creative choices and marketing and promoting what you are offering.

Case to mention a couple of, but all of these are gleaned together with your business money plan. I really want you to consider past the traditional number reasons and think about the intrinsic and in my opinion, ultimately more persuasive causes of getting a company money plan.

Artist Info : www.ambroseakinmusire.com
Ambrose's conceptual extension into a new musical language is never to the exclusion of beauty. As one who listens intently, he values the fertility of a pause, of communication, of tension. Ambrose began conceptualizing early as a musician, theorizing and experimenting as a catalyst for development. He seeks other genres of music to analyze and expose, drawing inspiration from such musicians as Bjork and Chopin.
Ambrose's music restructures accepted notions of jazz in a way that reflects his ability to recognize nuances, multiplicities, and patterns. First playing piano at the age of three, his familiarity with music began long before putting his mouth to a trumpet. He is relentlessly opposed to stagnation, seeking movement in both his music and his life.
Before he was eighteen, Ambrose had already performed with such famed musicians as Joe Henderson, Joshua Redman, Steve Coleman, and Billy Higgins. After graduating Berkeley High School, he moved to New York to begin a scholarship at the Manhattan School of Music, studying with Vincent Pinzerella from the New York Philharmonic, Dick Oatts, Lew Soloff, and Laurie Frink.
Throughout his studies, Ambrose continued to tether audiences to his concepts and his sound, performing publicly with Lonnie Plaxico, Stefon Harris, Josh Roseman, Vijay Iyer, Charlie Persip, the Mingus Big Band, and the San Francisco Jazz Collective, to name only a few. His exposure to dynamic modes of playing and to musicians with accumulated experiences only promoted the development of his own distinct musical style.
Ambrose is a recent graduate of the Masters program at USC, and also the Monk Institute, Ambrosee's instructors include Terence Blanchard, Billy Childs and Gary Grant. In the past year, he has worked with such artists as Jimmy Heath, Jason Moran, Hal Crook, Bob Hurst, Terri Lynne Carrington, Ron Carter, and Wallace Roney, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Most recently Ambrose is the winner of both the 2007 Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet Solo Competition and 2007 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition.
As for a conclusion, there is none. Ambrosee's musical trajectory continues to grow in more than one direction, drawing from the most unconventional sources, unraveling the most comfortable conceptions of limitation. His persistent reevaluations and his aspirations to evolution and beauty carry it to an entirely new space within itself.

Feeling lazy...will phone order fried rice and chilli mushroom/ paneer 65. Now, they have closed the shop on renovation for 6 months, missing the schezwan fried rice so much that I have made schezwan sauce at home.
Egg dosa is one such easy recipe on a lazy morning. At times, I dont feel like even making a chutney for dosa. The best idea would be to have an egg dosa with idli podi or just the dosa. The best combo with egg dosa is red chilli chutney.
Chilli Garlic Paste is one of the best flavours of our kitchen. The paste added in any curry does enhance the flavours to different levels. The best use of this paste in my kitchen is to for chicken 65!!! My mom's recipe which we love so much!!!

I am not a big lover of either milk or apple, but this apple milkshake is definitely my favourite. Apple milkshake always reminds me of my childhood days when i was put up in a residential school. Every time I leave to my native for holidays, we would dine in a famous restaurant where I first had this yummy milkshake. The nice texture and chopped apple pieces finish my dinner.
Fresh juices, fruit salads and tender coconut seem to score high marks in summer. On top is always our traditional drink "Buttermilk". My amma makes Amla Buttermilk and Carrot Buttermilk from which I have tried giving a twist for buttermilk with mango. It turned out great too!!! Try yourself and let me know. Your valuable feedback is very important for a amateur blogger like me!!
I was inspired by these cookies from jens favorite cookies, with just three ingredients.

Just melts in your mouth.
Gooseberry is rich source of vitamin C in raw and cooked form. A typical serving of gooseberry is said to amount for quarter portion of adult requirement.
Gooseberries are also a useful source of soluble fiber. They are low in calories. Most like its bitter taste, but now its mostly consumed with sweet which makes it an high calorie dessert.
We had an awesome time in kodaikannal, the climate and our stay at a boutique resort was very good. We enjoyed boating in drizzling rain, evening mist while cycling around the lake, and a very delectable dinner with camp fire.
Muffins are very tasty and tempts us to grab more. Addition of banana gives it more taste and makes it healthy. Another recipe which you can easily enjoy over very ripened bananas is Banana Bread.
My dad loves mangoes, he can have one after one and go on. I wonder why he loves mango so much. I am sure my dad enjoys eating mango than these drinks and smoothie which I prefer. One full plate of mango is his lunch in mango season. We get varieties of mango from our farm, he says how each got its own taste and how they grew up eating mangoes, the way they would juice the mango and drink...Me on the contrary, is very choosy on the variety. Another tummy filling drink for a lazy morning is this. I am sure it would be hit in your kitchen too!!!
Mango, Mango Everywhere...!!! and Its Mango Muffins on its way!!! The juicy yellow fruit taste and flavour packed as muffins.
Tomatoes are as juicy as they are beautiful. This richly coloured fruit has so much flavour. An recipe with rich tomatoes that comes very handy on busy days is this. My mom used to make this for chappathi when we travel. We used to pack this in foil boxes and it just looks like restaurant packed food. It tastes even more tasty while eating with family in travel.
Egg mayonnaise sandwich is really a very easy and tasty recipe. My husband always chooses white bread over wheat bread, but when it comes to this on the breakfast table I could spot a happy face:) :)We always have variety of breads at home for easy takeaway recipes.
Halwa is a very delectable Indian sweet which is relished always. Mango halwa is a more more delicious halwa made with pure mango pulp and the richness of ghee. It just melts in your with the crunchiness of the fried cashew-nuts.
Super Tempting Mango halwa is a real treat for mango lovers!!!
Select well ripened mangoes, cut and puree them in a mixie. Keep aside. In a wide heavy bottom non stick pan, heat ghee. Add the mango puree.
Cook the mango puree in medium flame continuously stirring to avoid sticking. In high flame, it tends to bubble up too much, so it should maintain medium flame. Keep stirring. When the mango mixture changes texture and colour, it starts to thicken, you can add little ghee and powdered sugar and keep stirring. Meanwhile, in a small kadai, heat ghee and fry cashew nuts til golden brown.
Once the mango pulp is cooked (You will know by the smell that fills the air), transfer the fried cashew nuts and mix well. Turn off and let it rest in pan for few minutes before transferring to a container.
I have used very less sugar, as the mangoes were very sweet. You can vary the quantity of sweetness depending on your taste.
You can also add crushed cardamom and saffron strands in the end.
Non stick pan is easy while making halwa, as it doesn't tend to stick much on the sides.
Choose mangoes which has good flesh and taste. Avoid using fibrous ones.

Teachers plan Feb. 13 demo over working conditions, centralized curriculum
Hungarian teachers are organizing a day of demonstrations on February 13, with protests scheduled in Budapest and elsewhere around the country, to push their demands for better working conditions and a reversal of the centralization of the education system that began after the 2010 elections, Istvánné Galló, president of teachers union PSZ, said yesterday.
The Budapest demonstration is to take place outside the Parliament building, on Kossuth tér.
The teachers released a 25-point petition, detailing the changes they want to see in Hungary's education system. Their demands include changes to the new government-mandated curriculum, to place less burden on students; the separation of state and institutional control; the provision of "real" costs and expenditures for the operation of the education system; and restoration of a maximum of 22 classes for teachers, who would receive overtime if this number is exceeded.
Teachers said they are ready to strike, according to Galló.
Bence Rétvári, state secretary at the Ministry of Human Capacities yesterday defended the centralized system that was introduced by the ruling Fidesz party when it came to power in 2010, saying that centralization would bring higher wages for teachers. He pledged that the government would reduce bureaucracy by two-thirds, in response to a roundtable on public education, hvg.hu reported yesterday. Rétvári reportedly defended the teachers' right to protest, saying: "Hungary is a democracy, teachers should feel free to demonstrate."
Although talks are scheduled with Minister of Human Capacities Zoltán Balog, the strike committee has already convened, and the demonstration is to be held as planned, Galló said.

Schools in Derbyshire making emergency visors to help frontline healthcare workers in the fight against coronavirus are desperate to obtain fresh materials to enable them to carry on.
Teacher Angela King, of St Benedict Catholic Academy, in Darley Abbey, used a laser cutter to make hundreds of visors which have been distributed to staff at the Royal Derby Hospital.
Now other schools in the St Ralph Sherwin Catholic Multi Academy Trust are set to join her and carry on the work.
But they are in desperate need of donations of materials to be able to produce the vital equipment, including polypropylene sheet about 1.5mm thick and acetate photocopying sheets.
A number of requests for visors were made after Mrs King's efforts were featured on Derbyshire Live, so the trust has now asked its other schools with laser cutters if they have the capacity to do the same.

St Thomas More in Buxton has made 80 visors so far and it is hoped that St Philip Howard, in Glossop, Saint John Houghton, in Ilkeston, and Blessed Robert Sutton, in Burton, may be able come on board.
Trust chief executive Sean McClafferty said: "We were so impressed by Angela's work and the impact that was having that we asked our other schools if they could also produce visors.

"There is a possibility that they can support this project but we desperately need donations of the materials for the visors as our own stocks are almost depleted.
"We have already received a donation from Polycopy in Loughborough, which is fantastic and we would like to thank them for that.
"We would love to hear from anyone who can support our teachers and we are sure the staff working on the frontline, playing such a vital role in the fight against coronavirus, would be extremely grateful."
Andrew Muldoon, the trust's estates and facilities manager, added: "The number of requests received following the initial donation of visors was quite concerning and provided the desire to produce as many as possible with the resources available."
So far, visors made by Mrs King have been sent to the Royal Derby Hospital orthopaedic surgery ward, maternity ward and renal unit and three care organisations.
The two other members of staff at Saint Benedict supporting her are Dave Lambert and Alan Snell.
Anyone who can make donations is asked to contact Andrew on estates@srscmat.co.uk or 07708 906 860.

An improperly designed and installed roof is like a ticking time bomb. That's why it's so important to compare the long-term responsibility offered by roofing companies.
After two years, most independent contractors shift warranty liability back to the manufacturer - who probably knows very little about the roof's installation or any problems during the critical first two years of its life. Moreover, other manufacturers annually review or change licensing agreements with independent contractors, so you never know who will answer your next service call.


The Cayman Islands is primarely known as a tax haven and offshore banking centre. But it is not just shady businessmen, people who want to avoid tax and financial insitutions such as digital options broker that are attracted to the islands. The islands is also popular among scuba divers due to the warm waters and the fantastic diving that you can find around the islands. The cayman islands offer world class diving.
Cayman Islands in the British West Indies consists of three islands: Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. Located in the warm waters of the western Caribbean – south of Cuba and east of Yucatan, Mexico – the Cayman Islands offer good dividing opportunities year round (outside the hurricane season).
Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are surrounded by coral reefs, and they are all peaks of a one-upon-a-time completely submerged mountain range on which corals began to attach themselves. That is why the islands chiefly consists of limestone.
The largest of the three islands is the 197 square kilometre Grand Cayman, and this is where you find George Town where the Caymanian government is located. George Town is also the heart of Cayman Islands' financial service industry.
Beautiful corals and a rich fauna. Many small fishes live here, and they attract larger predators. Interesting overhangs to explore.
This dive can be done as a beach dive.
The wall starts at a depth of 8 metres and continue way down. The wall is covered in many different corals and sponges, including orange elephant ear sponges.
This dive spot is not far from Little Cayman.
This wall is connected to Bloody Bay Wall, but starts 6 metres below the surface. The wall is covered in a lot of sponges, including yellow, red and purple ones.
Wilderness Wall, famous for its healthy corals, is found south of Cayman Brac. A large pinnacle is located near the wall.
Babylon is a large pinnacle near North Wall.
The North Wall starts 12 metres below the surface.
This dive site is found near Grand Cayman.
This is the place to go if you want to see stingrays. Divers began feeding stingrays here in the 1980s and these clever animals soon learned to come swimming to Stingray City as soon as they heard the sound of a diver's motor boat.
This is a shallow dive.
This ship was intentionally sunk here in 1996 to provide a home for marine life. MV Captain Keith Tibbetts is a 100 metre long Russian war ship.
This ship was intentionally sunk outside Seven Mile Beach in 2011 to provide a home for marine life. USS Kittiwake rests at a sandy bottom, roughly 17 metres below the surface.

Jerusalem Post Blog Home The Jewish Problem - From anti-Judaism to anti-Semitism
The Final Solution: Extermination as first and last resort, Part 2
By DAVID TURNER
"I refer to the conference held in Berlin today and once more point out that the planned overall measures (i.e., the Final Solution) are to be kept strictly secret."
(Reinhard Heydrich, September 21, 1939)
Most historians assign the "Holocaust decision" to the Wannsee Conference, 20 January. 1941. Heydrich's speech to his murder crews called Einsatsgruppen preceded by more than a year the supposed tipping point used by many historians today for the Holocaust Decision, the invasion that may have cost Germany the war, Russia.

This then represents the public face of Hitler's evolving or, perhaps better described, gradually revealed intention regarding the Jews. Certainly discussions with his closest lieutenants would have been far more direct. Which explains the candor of Reichsführer-SS Reinhard Heydrich in his September 21, 1939 "Jewish Question in the Occupied Territory" order to his Einsatzgruppen:
"I refer to the conference held in Berlin today and once more point out that the planned overall measures (i.e., the final aim) are to be kept strictly secret. Distinction must be made between:
(1) The final aim (which will require extended periods of time), and
(2) The stages leading to the fulfillment of this final aim (which will be carried out in short terms).
"The first preliminary measure for achieving the final aim is the concentration of the Jews from the countryside in the larger cities. It must be speedily implemented. … as few concentration points as possible should be established so that only those cities are designated which are either railway junctions or at least lie on a railway line."
Many historians today, along with most Holocaust deniers, insist that Heydrich's reference to a "final aim" means "resettlement" since that was the public face of Reich policy at that time. But if, as I suggest, the so-called "resettlement" plans such as Niskar to "the east," or the French African colony of Madagascar were meant as distractions from Hitler's actual intention all along, the Final Solution of the Jewish Problem then "final aim" as used by Heydrich takes on a wholly different meaning. And, as I wrote above, 1939 is more than a year before Wannsee formally distributed tasks to those representatives of the Reich's bureaucracy.
The Holocaust, if it's meaning is not to be lost in the mists of time, folded into Tisha b'Av as ritual on the Jewish calendar by future generations, must be recognized for what it is. The Holocaust is what the Crusades would have sought had they the technology, the Spanish Inquisition redux. Both events of history targeted the Jews for torture and death. What they lacked was the means to efficiently and speedily achieve a full and final solution to the Jewish Problem. Mid-20th century technology provided the means to achieve that which was unattainable in the past, the full and complete eradication of Jewish existence from the world.
Had Hitler won the war, something which even Roosevelt and Churchill once considered possible, there should be no doubt that the assault on the Jews would not have stopped at the western shoreline of Europe. Hitler's intention was to achieve a final solution to a Jewish Problem born two millennia before, with the first century Pauline and gospel texts.
Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf, and repeated often in speeches, "I believe to-day that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. In standing guard against the Jew I am defending the handiwork of the Lord."
Afterword: A long-standing debate exists between "schools of historians" over whether and when Hitler gave an order for the extermination of world Jewry. And if, as seems likely, no such written document exists, does that change anything? What if it turns out that the only evidence for a start date is the Wannsee Conference, does that become the default start date? And what of the one million Jews murdered before that date, in 1941? Common sense informs that wars commence long before actual military engagement.
Hitler began clandestinely rebuilding the Wehrmacht in 1933; he passed legislation disenfranchising the Jews that same year. Neither constitutes a declaration of war; yet both definitely represent led inexorably to that end. And while the Nuremburg Laws are a historical document, their appearance in 1933 was sufficiently ambiguous that even today it is open to multiple interpretations. And this is the problem academia created: insisting on a likely non-existent written order clouds the fact that the Holocaust, the murder of each and every living Jew, was Hitler's intention from the start. The debate swings wide the door to the deniers of the Holocaust.
