Innovative Skincare® is a scientifically advanced luxury skincare company that bridges the gap between science and beauty.
Innovative Skincare® is dedicated to producing highly effective, clinically-validated skincare products that deliver dramatic physiological improvements to the skin.
Your skin is a complex organ, composed of two main layers: the epidermis and the dermis. In addition to being the largest organ of the body, the skin is also one of the most important, protecting the rest of the body from the outside environment.
The outer layer, the epidermis, is comprised of four layers, which are responsible for keeping water in, keeping infection out and helping to regulate body temperature – among other vital functions. The inner layer, the dermis, is composed mainly of connective tissue that provides the strength and elasticity your skin needs to resist stressors. Both layers are vital in understanding and treating nearly all skin conditions and concerns.
A multitude of factors contribute to the outward appearance of your skin: environmental aggressors like the sun, pollution, and the weather; internal aggressors, like diet and hydration; and your own biochemistry, such as hormones and genetic predispositions. Whether you are looking to improve aging skin, acne, pigmentation irregularities, rosacea or other conditions, the intricate skin system requires a multifaceted approach to treatment.

Some thoughts on the Midterms
The following reflection is from Graeme Chesters, a Senior Lecturer in Peace Studies at the University of Bradford in the UK. Graeme is a writer and activist who researches social movements and collective action, and has kept a keen eye on Wisconsin and our relationship with broader political developments in the United States.
Watching CNN's coverage of the midterm elections was like watching a slow moving car crash, a constant and apparently deliberate attempt to raise my blood pressure, as the voting percentages eased slowly towards individual results, every percentage change dissected by a demographic lens.
The House elections are effectively a national poll and the numbers look familiar given the partisan divide. The Democrats lead the popular vote 51%-47% in the House and this shouldn't be confused with the 57% to 42% vote split in favor of the Democrats in Senate races, which merely reflects the fact that more traditional Democrat seats were up for election: 42 of the 51 seats held by Republicans did not feature in these mid-terms. Still the Republicans made gains in the Senate in areas where support for Trump had been high two years ago and where he campaigned hard this cycle. He energizes his base and gets them out to vote, at the same time as he energizes those resisting his agenda. However, what is described as a high turnout is unlikely to top 47% nationally. Mobilizing support for the party of the incumbent has been a tricky thing to do for a sitting President in previous mid-term elections, particularly in the rural areas Trump relies upon. His rallies work and unsurprisingly we will see more of them, for electoral and narcissistic reasons.
Otherwise, things appear familiar; a 30 seat loss in the House of Representatives by Republicans would be broadly equivalent to losses suffered by George W Bush in 2006. The rural/urban divide appears set in stone, but Democrats are beginning to win back some of the outlying suburbs, mainly due to the votes of women who came out for Democrats over Republicans by as much as 21 points according to exit polls. The Democratic 'Blue Wall' in the Mid-West is being slowly rebuilt and the raft of Governorships that fell to the Democrats in Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin will be important in this process, especially during the process of redistricting, but also because these changes will make a real difference in maintaining and expanding access to affordable health care, which was the Democratic campaign theme and the number one issue reported in exit polls. Similarly decisions to allow former felons to vote in Florida (1.4 million people) could be decisive in that state in the future, particularly given the perennial narrow margins that determine winning or losing there.
In the long term, changing demographics are likely to mire the Republican Party with reliance upon an increasingly older and whiter rural base, which in part explains the rise of Trump. But if, as yesterday, women, young people, Black, Latino and other minority ethnic voters turn increasingly towards the Democrats, and importantly this is matched by increased participation, there may be many more deep Red States that are turned a shade of purple, Texas being the prime example from last night. In the interim, it's also encouraging to see more women than ever win seats in the House, the first Muslim and Native American Congresswomen, an openly gay Governor in Colorado and first time voters who overwhelmingly came out for progressive candidates.
The change to the composition of the House will also indicate how the the tensions over strategy amongst Democrats will play out. Now we will see whether or not the usual suspects amongst the House Democrats have the stomach for a fight, and if not, what the implications will be for the wider party given the popularity and mobilizing potential of those new to Congress, those who are emerging from amidst a democratic socialist tendency. If the situation were reversed, as of course it was under Obama's administration, the Republicans would use every available means at their disposal to thwart a Democratic Presidency. However, there remains an espoused and centrist belief in the power of civility, the myth of the radical centre, which is rooted perhaps, in the fear of mounting a genuine challenge to common corporate interests, or perhaps simply an aversion to sustained conflict amongst longtime House Democrats. This has repeatedly been exploited by the Republicans, even before the brutalist strategies of the Trump Administration.
Tonight as Nancy Pelosi preached civility, Trump again labelled reporters 'the enemy of the people', castigated members of his own party for losing due to their lack of allegiance to his leadership, and fired the Attorney General. This form of power politics, rooted in the sociopathic inclinations of Trump, continues to surprise liberal strategists, who find their own belief in institutional order, protocols and practices is poor preparation for the bludgeon of a true bully in the bully-pulpit, one who is now moving to limit or dismantle the Special Council investigations.
If yesterday is to mark a turning point from the road to authoritarianism that Trump seems determined to take, and if the 'resistance' is to consolidate these gains in Congress, then House democrats will have to have the determination to fight hard, without fearing a backlash, or without using the fear of a backlash to cover their unwillingness to fight. It will also need continuing and sustained efforts outside of Congress, and an ongoing determination to stay in the streets, building on the examples of those who led the uprising in Wisconsin in 2011, but had to undertake a long and difficult eight year struggle to eventually oust Scott Walker, or the incredible organizing capacity of unions such as the Culinary Union 226 in Nevada which is 60,000 members strong and which played a decisive part in the one senate gain for the Democrats last night.

Federal voting rights legislation
Lawmakers from across the country are calling on the U.S. Senate to delay winter recess until they take up the voting rights bills that would prevent discrimination at the polling booth.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the legislation. The Senate doesn't have the votes to do so without Republican support. Democrats could get it passed with a simple majority, but that would require changes to the filibuster rule. Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have said they would not support such a move.
Texas State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, a Democrat from San Antonio, is leading this effort and said the conversation is still "fluid."
"We've all realized that Build Back Better is sort of moving to the sideline as Senator Manchin and the White House negotiate the finer points, and so you now see an opportunity to put voting rights back in the front," he explained.
Will the 2022 primary election happen?
Candidates have filed to campaign in next year's primary election. The question that everyone is asking is: Will the election be delayed beyond March 1st?
Democrats and the Department of Justice are suing over the newly drawn districts in Texas, saying that Republicans reduced the influence of minorities.
Are judges likely to delay the March primaries while courts sort this out? The Texas Tribune's Ross Ramsey said he doesn't know how likely that is to happen, though it has happened before.
"The candidates have all filed and the new redistricting maps are in court, and if the courts find any problem with those, they'll delay at least part of the election in some races just to re-draw the maps," he predicted. "The question is whether the maps are legal or not, and we won't know that until the judges say so."
Texas abortion law inspires new gun proposal
California wants to go after assault rifles and homemade guns - using the mechanism that Texas did to outlaw abortions. The Texas law lets people enforce it rather than the state.
How likely is this to survive? And what does it mean to Texas' abortion law?
Ramsey pointed to the Supreme Court.
"The court hasn't knocked (the Texas law) down yet, they're a bit stumped on it," he said. "If that works on a constitutionally-protected right like abortion, other state's are looking at it and saying, maybe it could work for guns, maybe it could work for people burning coal."
San Antonio looking to shake off economic slowdown
San Antonio is looking ahead to a big economic comeback.
About 300 conventions have been cancelled since the pandemic began. These are major moneymakers for the city. Is the loss of tax revenue hurting the San Antonio's bottom line?
Mayor Ron Nirenberg explained to Inside Texas Politics exactly when he expects tourism and conventions to return to pre-pandemic levels - and what that means to the city budget until then.
Dallas hopes to lure businesses away from the 'burbs
Texas' population has exploded over the last decade.
Businesses relocating to the state have led to booms in cities and suburbs, and in North Texas, Dallas is trying to better position itself to land some of these companies.
City leaders are tired of businesses landing in the suburbs. Councilman Tennell Atkins chairs the city's Economic Development Committee and said Dallas is kind of playing catch-up to other places across the state.
He discussed what's now underway at City Hall.
Rick Perry is running for Texas Governor. No, really.
There is a guy named Rick Perry running for Texas governor.
Not the former governor Rick Perry, but another guy with the same name from a small town outside Fort Worth. He was clearly recruited.
Gov. Greg Abbott's campaign strategist called it a stupid pet trick. The polls don't show it, but does this raise the chances of getting Greg Abbott into a runoff?
What's the point and will it work?
Judges reel in AG Paxton
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reined in Attorney General Ken Paxton.
He had prosecuted voter fraud cases on his own, but the all-Republican panel of judges ruled he cannot do it on his own - and he must get permission from local law authorities - because it violates the state constitution.
Is this a factor in the primary election?

NFL NFL West Divisions
Cody Schoeler's 2022 Preseason NFL West Power Rankings
The Super Bowl will go through the NFC West and the AFC West this season
recent 9 min read

By Cody Schoeler, SuperWest Sports
The NFL will go through the west in 2022, and not just because the Super Bowl is in Arizona.
With seven of the eight teams in the western divisions having a legitimate shot at the postseason (sorry Seattle), those two divisions will likely be the most important in the league.
That is going to make it incredibly competitive to be at the top of that group each week, which could very well also mean the top of the league.
Each week I am going to rank each of the eight teams and give an update on their season as they jostle for position within their divisions.
With three games in Week One featuring teams from the west on either side, these rankings could look much different this time next week.
1. Los Angeles Rams
The Rams are the defending Super Bowl champs so it is only fitting that they find themselves atop this list.
Most of last year's team is coming back including three players that were ranked in the top 10 of the NFL's top 100 players list (Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp, and Jalen Ramsey).
They also added even more talent to the group by adding wide receiver Allen Robinson and linebacker Bobby Wagner to the championship-winning core.
There are some questions heading into the season, though, especially on offense. Mainly, how will quarterback Matthew Stafford's elbow hold up and if the running backs can be effective enough to shoulder the load.
Also, the Rams have to replace Andrew Whitworth at left tackle after he retired because he ultimately could not actually play forever.
Repeating as champs is a very tough task in this league (it hasn't been done since the Patriots in the early 2000s) so the odds are stacked against the Rams this year.
They are going to be facing some stiff competition from the rest of the west teams for the top spot in this ranking so they may not find themselves at Number One next week.
2. Los Angeles Chargers
Five teams on this list made the playoffs last year and despite the Chargers not being one of them, they still slot in at Number Two. But it is hard to find a reason not to like this team.
Quarterback Justin Herbert is quickly on his way to becoming a superstar in this league and he could have an absolutely phenomenal season in 2022.
Los Angeles also added two key pieces on the defense, outside linebacker Khalil Mack and cornerback J.C. Jackson, to ensure that the defense does not hold the team back.
How head coach Brandon Staley manages this incredibly talented team will end up deciding where they finish on this list.
He has drawn both criticism and praise for his unique decisions at times but if he squanders this roster then he will certainly be subject to much more criticism in the offseason.
3. Kansas City Chiefs
It is unusual to see the Chiefs at any spot other than the top of a ranking of teams because that is how good they have been over the last four years.
With star quarterback Patrick Mahomes still leading the way, Kansas City has a very bright outlook for this season.
But that doesn't mean that this team is without its warts.
They will be without elite wide receiver Tyreek Hill after trading him to the Dolphins. There are also a few concerns on the defense, a unit that hasn't been pulling its weight recently.
Ultimately, the star power of the Chiefs will keep them in contention all year.
Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce, defensive tackle Chris Jones, and a very good offensive line will be more than enough to get the job done and make the playoffs.
The real question is can the Chiefs maintain their status as the most dominant team in the league or will they suffer some slight regression in what may end up being a down year?
There is no bigger wild card in the west this year than quarterback Trey Lance.
The 49ers have essentially the same team that made it the last year's NFC Championship Game outside of the new starter under center.
How he fares in his first full season as a starter will determine if San Francisco can make some noise this year and climb up these rankings or if they need to take a year to put it all together.
They should at least have a dominant defense, which will help make up for any struggles that Lance has.
With defensive end Nick Bosa, a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate, and linebacker Fred Warner, one of the best defensive playmakers in the league, the Niners have the talent to field an excellent unit on that side of the ball.
This is a team with a very high ceiling thanks to the creativity of head coach Kyle Shanahan but it is not a guarantee that they can reach it just yet.
5. Denver Broncos
The Broncos not even making the top half of this list is a testament to the strength of the teams in the two divisions.
Denver suddenly has a chance to win the AFC West and maybe even make a Super Bowl run, all thanks to the acquisition of star quarterback Russell Wilson over the offseason.
Wilson immediately improves the franchise and makes the Broncos nearly a lock finish better than the 7-10 record from 2021.
The one thing that would enable this team to enter into the upper echelon of elite teams this year is the improvement of young talent.
Running back Javonte Williams, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, and cornerback Pat Surtain II will all need to contribute the best seasons of their careers if Denver wants to have a shot at winning the division and making a playoff run.
6. Las Vegas Raiders
The new faces in Las Vegas are giving Raiders' fans a lot of reasons to have hope in 2022.
New head coach Josh McDaniels brings with him the experience of coaching under Bill Belichick but also comes with the baggage of his failed stint as head coach of the Broncos.
If he can prove to be a stable leader then he could elevate this team big time.
On the field, the Raiders added wide receiver Davante Adams and outside linebacker Chandler Jones to help add to what they believe is a playoff-caliber roster.
Getting help for quarterback Derek Carr was a much-needed move and he may be destined for greatness this year due to his chemistry with Adams, his former college teammate, and the potential of McDaniels's offensive scheme.
The trenches may be what holds the Raiders back this year.
Las Vegas has been downright awful at getting to the quarterback on defense and even though they added Jones to go with defensive end Maxx Crosby, it may not be enough to get that unit to where it needs to be.
And on the other side of the ball, the offensive line may end up as one of the worst groups in the entire league.
Despite the talent elsewhere on the offense, the line may be bad enough to prevent the Raiders from capitalizing on its potential.
The Cardinals have had a whirlwind of an offseason.
From the suspension of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the addition of wide receiver Marquise Brown to the contract extension saga with Kyler Murray, Arizona has really been through it all.
Now head coach Kliff Kingsbury will be tasked with putting it all together into a cohesive unit that can at least repeat last year's achievement of making the playoffs (but maybe not repeating what happened after that).
Murray certainly has the talent to get this team where it needs to go but he has yet to prove he can remain effective for an entire year.
The defense also has some talented players such as safety Budda Baker and outside linebacker Markus Golden but concerns at cornerback and questions about the young linebackers might hold them back.
The Cardinals always seem to break down at some point in the second half of the year and with a team in 2022 that already seems more susceptible to a collapse, it may not work out as well as it did last year.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Ten years ago was the start of the Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll era that led to the greatest sustained success in Seahawks' history. Now, the team will have Geno Smith at quarterback.
This year isn't about Smith, though. The 2022 season for Seattle is about attempting to bridge the gap between the great players on the roster and the talent that will carry them into the future.
With several already established players on the team such as safety Jamal Adams and wide receivers Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf, the Seahawks have the experience to keep this year's team from truly plummeting to the bottom of the league.
The Seahawks are also relying on a whole bunch of young players such as linebacker Jordyn Brooks, running back Kenneth Walker, and rookie tackles Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas, who figure to lead the next generation.
How those players pan out this year—especially the rookies—will directly impact the level of excitement that the fanbase has for this team going into 2023.
But let's be honest, 2022 is going to be bad, so get used to seeing the Seahawks in the Number Eight spot.

Landmark Hudson Valley School Will Soon Be TV, Film Studio
A landmark school in the Hudson Valley is being transformed into a TV and film studio.
The Liberty Street School opened up in the late 1800s in Newburgh. The school taught children in Newburgh until June of 1980. Since the closing, the building remained empty for over 30 years.
Recently, Thomas Burr Dodd purchased the building. His company, RipRap LLC, hopes to rejuvenate historic buildings in Newburgh after about over 20 years of running a business fixing buildings in Brooklyn, according to the company's website.
"We were thinking of doing something similar to what we accomplished in Brooklyn but in Detroit. But in the past few years, we would come north on vacation and go apple picking up here in the Hudson Valley," Dodd said in an interview with NewburghNY.Org.
On a whim, we would drive through Newburgh and we were struck by the beauty of the architecture and the history. One time we went to the Ann Street Gallery, and we just liked the feel here. After attending the Newburgh Rezoning event it helped solidify our feeling that the time was right to make a move here."
One of Dodd's purchases, the Liberty Street School, is in the process of being turned into a TV and film studio.
"The School will go back to its original layout. It won't have any apartments, just work spaces. We will have film production facilities, and the third floor opens up very wide and has high ceilings so we can shoot there and also do post production," Dodd said.
The Empire State Development recently awarded PS 6 Liberty Street, LLC nearly $1 million to renovate PS 6 Center for Film and Television.
According to the Empire State Development, the money is expected to help make the Newburgh building become a one-stop-shop film/TV facility including sound stages and production offices as well as rental space for events, weddings and photoshoots. A community flex space on the first floor will be used for job training, mentorship programs, art shows, and screenings.
The Orange County Arts Council, Inc. will help in turning the building at 1 Liberty Street to the P.S. 6 Center for Film and Television.

Jair Hilburn's Albums of the Decade
By Mtiger
Jair Hilburn, Editor-In-Chief
Without a doubt this decade has been an interesting decade for music. From iconic albums such as: Anti and Blonde that have still are a breath of fresh air to this day. For me, there were some that stood out above the rest. Here are my Top 10 Albums of the Decade:
10.) SweetSexySavage by Kehlani (2017)
To this day, I will advocate that Kehlani deserved the same energy J. Cole is given because for an album – and a debut one at that – without any features it deserved platinum plaques. Throughout the course of this album Kehlani made an album that not only showed her growth as an artist, but what we could expect from her in the future.
On songs like "Personal", "Piece of Mind" and "Advice", I fell in love with her writing abilities because she was writing songs that were relatable or made you feel confident when you sang them. The way she would sing on the tracks is what made me fall in love from the first listen because she gave a well-rounded R&B sound. While she's released more music post this project, SweetSexySavage still holds its replay value to this day.
9.) Light of Mine (Deluxe) by KYLE (2019)
If you know the song "iSpy (feat. Lil Yachty)", you've heard of KYLE. Chances are you didn't hear his name come up again in 2018, and that's a shame. Without a doubt KYLE's Light of Mine was one of the most underrated albums this decade – and by far one of the best. He offered a breath of fresh air with his new album.
Off first listen, I was caught from the first listen. Starting off the album with "Ups & Downs" let me know that this album was going to be more than an average album about the journey of falling in love. It was a coming of age album that was unlike any other with its own sound. Featuring Teyana Taylor, Alessia Cara, Take 6, Kehlani, and many more, it made an eclectic sounding album that didn't sound like mess; it sounded like art.
8.) thank u, next by Ariana Grande (2019)
As much as I want to put Sweetener on this list, it would be wrong because thank u, next was one of the best constructed pop albums of the decade because it was an album that only Grande could make. The album was a story of love and the highs and lows that come with it; heartbreak; personal downfalls and moving on. Tracks like "needy", "ghostin" and "fake smile" are personal, but even though they are personal, you can't help but resonate with each track on the album to some degree.
7.) DAMN. by Kendrick Lamar (2017)
Kendrick Lamar released a lot of great content this decade without a doubt. I'd be remiss to not put this album on my list because from beginning to end – and even from the end to the beginning – it was a well put together piece of art.
This album made a lot of points. Two of them being: whatever track Kendrick is on, he brings his own sound to it and he is a masterful storyteller which shows on songs like "DUCKWORTH.", "FEAR." and "FEEL."
6.) Dirty Computer by Janelle Monáe (2018)
Janelle Monáe is by far one of the most slept on artist, and her latest project, Dirty Computer, proved that to be true. This albums made several points in a political sense, but it also proved that Monáe is a tastemaker in music. Fusing a futuristic sound with a sound similar to Prince's, she made an album that unlike any others on this list.
Songs like "I Got the Juice (feat. Pharrell Williams)", "I Like That" and a few others expressed this confidence that infectious when it hits the ears. There are also tracks such as: "Don't Judge Me" and "So Afraid" that are so unique. It shows that she is a one of a kind artists.
Throughout the course of the album, she doesn't stray from being blatantly political in a way that you can't turn away. Plus it's hard to turn away with the intro being the title track.
5.) WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE ALL GO? by Billie Eilish (2019)
It's hard to pick an album from this year to be on the list for top albums of the decade, but Billie Eilish definitely takes the cake. Her debut album was better most albums to come out this decade. When you look at the material, it shows.
Diving into the alternative pop sound, she made an album that was unlike any others. From the writing to the production it was an experience unlike any others on this list.
Was it sad and a little depressing? Yes, but you can't help but listen to it over and over again.
Taking unique avenues for writing and producing that I haven't heard before, and every bit of it was infectious. There are songs with a dark tone such as "bury a friend" and "all the good girls go to hell" that keep you coming back for more, but the melancholy songs like "listen before i go", "xanny", "wish you were gay" and "goodbye" allow the crooning of her voice to send chills down your spine.
4.) Lemonade by Beyoncé (2016)
While the albums speaks for itself, I still want to talk about it. Very rarely do artists divulge in multiple genres throughout their career – let alone one album. And I don't think any of them could do it as flawlessly as Beyoncé could. Talking about the stages of dealing with her husband Jay-Z's infidelity, she gets personal in a way that we rarely see of her.
From songwriting to production, she proves how she's "[t]op two… and not number two." I would say listening to this album because each track makes you feel different emotions. Whether it be the anger from "Don't Hurt Yourself", the unapologetic "Sorry" or the vulnerable "Love Drought", Beyoncé made songs that pretty much were the soundtrack to my 2016.
3.) Ctrl by SZA (2017)
When we talk about debut albums in this decade, it would be wrong to leave SZA's Ctrl out of the discussion because it was one of the best albums of the decade. Telling a story of control and the different facets of it, SZA made an album that only she could make. It was – and still is – an album where if I hear one track in rotation, I end up playing the whole album from front to back.
There may be a song you like the least off this album, but it can't be denied that this album is one without skips. She wrote an album that is a nonstop vibe from front to back.
2.) Norman Fucking Rockwell! by Lana Del Rey (2019)
Lana Del Rey's latest album was by far one of the best albums of this year by a longshot. Throughout the course of the project, I was transported to a serene place. While the album runs over an hour long, I can't help but stay strapped in for the ride when it comes on. Lana is known for alternative flair, and with this album, she takes a vintage sound and ushers it into a new age in a way that only she can. The songwriting is exquisite and compliments the production of each track to the near perfection if not complete perfection. Whether your on the beach, in your car, or in your room, this album is a consistent vibe that can make you sad but also give you hope.
1.) BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé (2013)
They day Beyoncé dropped this album was the day music changed. Out of the blue, she dropped her self-titled project, and without a doubt it was better than I could've ever imagined. From front to back, this album flowed in a way that most don't and has an endless replay value. There is never a moment where this album can't be played at max volume. Without a doubt tracks like "Superpower (feat. Frank Ocean)", "No Angel" and "Haunted" were continuously playing in my ear as we hear wide her range whilst she experimented with sounds new for her I personally never from her.
Rest assure, they worked.
Never had I heard an album within this decade be that cohesive whilst also making a statement at the same time. From talking about the love she has for her daughter on "Blue (feat. Blue Ivy)" to claiming a new sense of sexual power on "Partition", Beyoncé did everything and then some with this album.

The stock market has endured a volatile start to the Thursday session. The S&P 500 (+0.1%) currently holds a modest gain, which puts the index in the top half of today's trading range.
Equity indices began the day with slim gains amid early strength in biotechnology, but the market hit a point of resistance during the opening minutes and reversed into the red. That slide was halted once the S&P 500 dipped below its 50-day moving average (2,076), which has served as support for the time being.
The benchmark index has been able to return above its flat line, but small cap stocks have not been as resilient with the Russell 2000 trading lower by 0.3%.
Individual sectors are split down the middle with energy (+1.4%) and health care (+0.5%) showing relative strength while technology (-0.1%), financials (-0.1%), and consumer discretionary (-0.2%) have struggled to keep pace.
The energy sector has outperformed since the start thanks to a rebound in crude oil following yesterday's drubbing. Currently, the energy component is higher by 1.7% at $51.27/bbl even though the Dollar Index (99.20, +0.94) has returned to levels last observed three weeks ago.
Unlike energy, most of the remaining cyclical sectors have struggled to stay out of the red, but the materials space (+0.3%) sports a modest gain; however, Alcoa (AA 13.12, -0.55) has given up 4.0% after reporting a two-cent beat on below-consensus revenue. The company said it expects aluminum demand to grow by 6.5% in 2015 after revising its 2014 global demand growth to 9.0% from 7.0%.
Moving to the countercyclical side, the health care sector (+0.4%) remains in a position of relative strength even though the biotech group has surrendered its early advance with the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB 351.80, -0.21) little changed at this juncture.
Treasuries have erased their overnight gains, sliding to new lows with the 10-yr yield higher by four basis points at 1.93%.


In the past week the Valley has enjoyed good, soaking rain – at last!
So far in Mid Hartley, 63mm has fallen with more on the way – at least on Wednesday.
The Weather Forecast for the rest of Wednesday 19th February from Weatherzone.
Cloudy. Rain, easing to scattered showers at night. Scattered thunderstorms, possibly severe. Winds NW 20 to 30 km/h tending W in the late evening.

Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS)
What Does Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS) Mean?
Techopedia Explains Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS)
A distributed database management system (DDBMS) is a set of multiple, logically interrelated databases distributed over a network. They provide a mechanism that makes the distribution of data transparent to users.
DDBMS is a centralized application that manages a distributed database. This database system synchronizes data periodically and ensures that any change in data made by users is universally updated in the database.
DDBMS is widely used in data warehousing, where huge volumes of data are processed and accessed by numerous users or database clients at the same time. This database system is used to manage data in networks, maintain confidentiality and handle data integrity. A distributed database management system is designed for heterogeneous database platforms that focus on heterogeneous database management systems.

We are excited to announce that L. Evans Design Group is featured in Oregon Home Magazine's Style section for our work on a Hartung Farms home outside Portland, Oregon. Titled, "A Hartung Farms Traditional Gets a Breezy Makeover," the article highlights our work on Tina and Jay's kitchen, master bathroom and powder room.
For the kitchen, we focused on bringing a crisp, clean and airy feel with white cabinets, lighter granite and modern, whimsical cabinet pulls. We also removed walls to make the space flow more freely into the family gathering space and the formal dining room. Working with Tina and Jay's budget, we used the existing boxes of the cabinets and had all new doors and drawer heads made to better suit the new aesthetic of the room.
For the master bathroom, we chose to start over with the space in order to make it open and more spa-like. The lighting scheme was extremely important in the overall ambiance of the space: we added dimmable toe-kick lighting, which added a touch of drama and romance to the room. The tile floor is heated, which is a special treat in the fall and winter months. Dark wood, lighter counters, and a large, open double vanity all complete the space.
A truly dramatic change, the powder room presented challenges in its small size. To create more space and add a striking feature, we worked with a company that uses photos to make wallpaper. Choosing an image of a beach in Thailand, we added a floating sink, floating cabinet and a lighter gray shade for the walls to help create a larger feel for the powder room.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time working on this gorgeous home, and we are elated our work is featured in a local publication. Tina and Jay had a clear vision for their home; we helped them work through the details, developing a realistic plan around their budget.
L. Evans Design Group is an award-winning interior design and general contracting company in the Portland Metro Area with over 50 years of collective experience in residential renovation and remodeling. We love working with clients to achieve their dream homes. Contact us with any questions about the Hartung Farms Traditional or questions about renovating or remodeling your own home.

Now this is more like it! This was geek heaven. As I knew it would be, it was the perfect way to cleanse the palette after the disappointment of Justice League. More so than any other crossover The CW has done, this just felt like one big 4 hour movie (well, a 3 hour movie with commercials by the time we see all 4 parts). Tonight' part one was 2 hours of pure superhero fun. The individual shows don't even get their typical openings, the title card was only Crisis on Earth-X, which made the whole thing feel a little more special. During last years crossover, there was definitely more of a focus on the characters and the story of each particular show throughout the crossover, like Arrow for example. That's not the case here at all. This is clearly a movie spread out over 2 nights and the event is far better for it. Personally, I absolutely loved the first night of the annual CW DC Crossover Event. Warner Bros. executives take a look, THIS is how you do an Epic Superhero Team Up Crossover.
Especially if you've been watching all of these shows from the beginning like me, the fun little character beats and interactions makes this more than just wall to wall action. Just like the scene in Avengers: Age of Ultron where the team is having a party, just relaxing and they all take turns trying to lift Thor's hammer. It's fun just to watch all of these characters play off each other. Even with all of the characters involved, it never felt over crowded. It's redundant at this point to keep saying this, but every scene with Mick was gold. I love how a man whose literally tried to kill the groom multiple times, was invited to this event (or he just tagged along for the food and free booze). I loved how chill Sarah was about her one night stand with Alex after the rehearsal dinner. Yet another reminder that Sarah is kind of the Han Solo of Legends. I want to keep this review relatively brief, so I wont go into too much more detail, but it was so much fun seeing these heroes work together and fight the bad guys. And who doesn't enjoy seeing Nazis' getting their assess kicked?
When it comes to the villains, a big highlight for me is that we got Tom Cavanagh playing Eobard Thawne again. This wasn't an alternate Earth Thanwne, this is the same man Barry' s been fighting for his entire life. I'm not sure how it's possible (and frankly I don't care) as good as Matt Letscher was as Reverse-Flash, Tom Cavanagh will always be the true Eobard Thawne to me.
I thought making Earth-X Oliver and Kara a couple was fun and unexpected. Even in an alternate Earth you would expect someone like Barry to be with Kara, so that relationship was a nice curveball (I'm not 100% sure, but I think they might actually be married).
Of course, I'm sure there were a million fans out there who loved seeing Tommy Merlyn return (even briefly) as Earth-X's Prometheus. You could really see the pain in Oliver's face seeing his long dead friend only to lose him all over again. Sure it wasn't HIS Tommy, but that doesn't really matter to Oliver in that moment. There were so many moments and Easter Eggs that any DC fan would love to see. Hell, we got to see Metallo show up, like full blown robot, no skin, Metallo. What a treat.
This wasn't perfect of course. I have one or two nitpicks. Considering the level of the story they're telling, with a lot of action set pieces and the use of fully CGI characters like King Shark and Metallo, the budget for this undertaking must have been pushed to the max. As a result, some, but not all, of the VFX looks a little rubbery. Also, considering how many doppelgängers were in play, it was sometimes hard to keep track of who's who in some of the fight sequences.
I should have mentioned it before, but super villains crashing the wedding of a superhero is a staple of the superhero genre. I'm really interested to see who the "modern day Hitler/ leader" of Earth-X is. My guess is Vandal Savage, which is cool on paper, but he was never well liked as a villain on Legends. The comic book version of Vandal Savage is much more interesting . Ras Al Ghul is another possibility. In the comics at least, he wasn't afraid to use the Nazi's as a means to an end. But who know? I'm REALLY looking forward to tomorrow night because, so far this is shaping up to be the best Crossover Event they' ever done with these shows.

Reine, November 15, 2009 in Travel books.
This book by Imogen Edwards-Jones tells the tale of a character who works on a big airline. It actually feels like a collection of anecdotes tied together by something vaguely resembling a storyline. For instance, we get ironic puns about how to get Semtex bombs aboard, details about the irritating boy band who sneaks away with the hosties in first class and how rude people gets tagged at check-in and later served food spiced with laxative.


Prerequisites: 300-level MDST or WRIT course.
Ability to implement the essentials of storytelling, including narrative curve, pacing, detail, and voice.
Ability to integrate narrative, sound, and visuals into compelling short videos.
Understanding of legal and ethical issues with respect to multimedia, including copyright, attribution, and media permissions.

The wine industry has been no exception, from producers who struggled to harvest their fruit due to restrictions on the movement of people, to customers including restaurants and bars that were often required to closed. Nevertheless, the time-proven approach of facing and dealing with individual problems one-by-one while looking to the future keeps us optimistic for the year ahead.This issue we would like to introduce two very special winemakers, who are not only passionate about making wine, but about the quality of life of their workers and the communities in which they are work. Bodega Colomé, in the north of Argentina, produces high-quality wines in a remote, high-altitude region. Radio-Coteau / County Line Vineyards, in Sonoma and Mendocino in California, are strongly committed to regenerative farming that enables their vineyards and farms to regenerate and support a vibrant future. On a brighter note to end the year, Ata Rangi in Martinborough, New Zealand, celebrated their 40th anniversary in October 2020.

The 9th and 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution clearly limits the power of the federal government and protects the rights of the states to govern themselves. The more power the federal government has the less freedom we have.
In July, the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit based in Virginia overturned North Carolina's Voter ID Law. The law required a photo identification to vote, reduced early voting days and ended same day registration. All three judges on this panel were appointed by Democratic presidents.
Thirty-four other states have voter ID laws in place which have been upheld by the Supreme Court. The court also added back a week of early voting even though a dozen states still do not have any type of early voting. The court also added back same day registration while the majority of states do not allow same day registration. Does this ruling mean that all of these states are violating the Constitution? The courts disregard of legal precedent, ignoring the 400 pages of facts from the district court, and ignoring the positive outcome for minority turnout after the law was implemented shows the court's intent was not one of an independent arbiter but one of recklessly pushing a partisan agenda.
WHEREAS, the Federalist #15 states, "Why has government been instituted at all? Because the passions of men will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice, without constraint." Therefore, the United States Constitution contains restraints with checks and balances for all three branches of Federal government (legislative, Article I; executive, Article II; judicial, Article III).
WHEREAS, the 10th Amendment to Constitution states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The federal government can never suppress the superiority of the states or the individual rights of the states.
WHEREAS, North Carolina has sovereignty and the constitutional right to develop and implement their election procedures. Voter ID is a common-sense law to protect the integrity of the election process. The law gives confidence to voters in North Carolina that their votes matter. The obvious overreach by judicial activists in this case and others undermines the freedoms of North Carolina's citizens.
RESOLVED, we the undersigned insist that the next President appoints judges at all federal levels who are proven that they will apply original intent of the Constitution to every ruling and to pledge to not make legislation from the bench. We also urge the Senate to not confirm any judges that do not meet this standard.
RESOLVED, we urge the US House of Representatives to consider impeachment under Article II, Section 4 for judges that unconstitutionally abuse their power through legislating from the bench or pushing political agendas.
The Judicial Overreach Concerning North Carolina's Voter Id Law petition to US Representatives and Senators was written by Claire Ledford and is in the category Government at GoPetition.

Barrichello Breaks Through to Claim First USF2000 Win
2021 Race Season GMR Grand Prix Road to Indy USF2000
Posted on September 3, 2020 September 11, 2020 Author Jared DePouwComment(0)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Second-generation racer Eduardo Barrichello scored an impressive maiden Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship victory this afternoon for Pabst Racing at the Indianapolis Grand Prix road course. In front of his former Ferrari Formula 1 race winning father Rubens, the 18-year-old Barrichello worked his way methodically from fourth at the completion of the opening lap to secure top honors in the first of three races that will comprise the Cooper Tires USF2000 Indy Grand Prix.
One day after celebrating his 16th birthday, Reece Gold, from Miami, Fla., moved up to second in the points table following his fifth podium finish in succession for Cape Motorsports, while pole-winning Brazilian Kiko Porto had to settle for third for DEForce Racing.
After dominating the first six races of the season for the Jay Howard Driver Development team, Denmark's Christian Rasmussen qualified a relatively disappointing fifth and could manage no better than sixth at the finish after being shuffled all the way down to 13th place on the opening lap.
This morning's opening practice session was portent of things to come as no fewer than 17 drivers were blanketed by less than one second. It was Porto, from Recife, Brazil, who led the way, and the former F4 race winner continued his good work in qualifying to claim his first Cooper Tires Pole Award by just under a tenth of a second from Gold.
Barrichello, from Sao Paulo, Brazil, lined up third on the grid but was quickly ousted by Carmel, Ind., teenager Jack William Miller, who continued his strong form for the Miller Vinatieri Motorsports team by leaping from fourth on the grid to second on the opening lap.
Porto took full advantage of his pole position – and the in-fighting behind him – to open up what seemed to be a commanding lead in the early stages of the 15-lap race. But after the unfortunate Miller slipped back into the pack and then retired to the pits with a broken rear wing mount, Gold soon began to whittle away at a deficit that had reached as high as 2.6 seconds.
By Lap 11, not only were the two leaders back together again, but Barrichello had joined in the fight, with top rookie Josh Green (Cape Motorsports), from Mount Kisco, N.Y., also moving into contention to set the stage for a thrilling final few laps.
Next time around, after the three leaders approached the heavy braking area for Turn One running absolutely side-by-side, it was Gold who briefly snatched the advantage, only to run wide on the exit and slip all the way to third place behind Porto and Barrichello.
Porto tried his hardest to defend the lead but to no avail. On Lap 14, Porto again clung to the inside line at Turn One, only for Barrichello to perform a classic over-under maneuver, turning in late from wide on the outside line and making a much faster exit to sweep ahead before Turn Two. Gold also took advantage of Porto's loss of momentum to snatch second place.
From there, Barrichello concentrated on hitting his marks to claim a fine victory and a first PFC Award of the season for Pabst Racing.
Gold finished just 0.2834 of a second behind in second place, with Porto and Green also in close attendance at the checkered flag.
Nolan Siegel, 15, from Palo Alto, Calif., took home the Tilton Hard Charger Award after rising from 10th on the grid to fifth, just ahead of Jay Howard Driver Development teammate Rasmussen, with Englishman Matt Round-Garrido (Pabst Racing) taking seventh.
Yuven Sundaramoorthy (Pabst Racing), from Guilderland, N.Y., finished eighth after a protracted battle with Christian Brooks (Exclusive Autosport), from Santa Clarita, Calif., while Max Kaeser, from Keystone, Colo., claimed his first top-10 finish for Miller Vinatieri Motorsports.
One more qualifying session at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning (Friday, September 4) will set the grid for the next race, due to start at 11:00 a.m., with each driver's fastest race lap then used to determine the starting order for the third and final race which will begin at 2:45 p.m.
Provisional championship points after seven of 17 races:
1. Christian Rasmussen, 226
2. Reece Gold, 150
3. Eduardo Barrichello, 137
4. Michael d'Orlando, 128

6. Matt Round-Garrido, 111
7. Christian Brooks, 103

Well, I pulled a real goof the other day. It reminds me of the days when I had five active youngsters in the house, and two dogs– sometimes with a litter of puppies. Life was busy and I was often in a rush and inpatient — you know what it's like to be a mother.
So now and then I'd try to get Rodney's attention and I'd start with, "Nathan–Mark–Randy–Sheila–Rodney." And one of the kids would laughingly add,"Shane– Floppy- Isipoogoo…." Those were our dogs' names. It wasn't really that bad, but they loved to catch me out.
So it must be the same thing with my books, which become like children while I'm working on them. I just noticed that I pulled out the name of one of my favorite books – Destined For Royalty—, in place of Daughters of Deliverance, in my blog the other day. Can't believe I just caught the mistake now!
Sorry about that. Just be glad I didn't go through all the other nine books before I got to Daughters of Deliverance.
By the way, several have asked for signed copies of the book. Contact me through my blog, give me your email address and I'll let you know how to do that.
I have to admit my stomach was churning as I got ready for the launch of Daughters of Deliverance. My friend Dody helped me put invitations into cubbies here at Wind Crest. Daughter Sheila prepared the door prizes and decorated the tables. She walked into the Lounge where the Launch party was held, carrying a large bouquet of Proteas, the South Africa flower– a gift from my children. My son Mark came all the way from New York where he'd been on a business trip to celebrate with me. Two grandsons and their wives slipped in after we'd started, and my niece and her husband came. About fifty friends from Wind Crest attended.
And now finally it all paid off. Congratulations!
Reviews are slowly coming in on Amazon– which not only make me feel good, but hopefully will encourage you to buy and read Destined for Royalty. More about the book and the life of its heroine, Katharine Bushnell, another time. For now, I just want you to celebrate with me that the ten-year project of research and writing has finally been reached publication. You can read more about Daughters of Deliverance on Amazon's book page.

Pre-Suit Investigative Services- Before engaging in costly litigation, it is often prudent to conduct cost effective pre-suit investigations. Determining the viability of collection if successful at trial is a critical step many litigants fail to take. Also, what is the cost of litigation? Making sure that your decisions balance sound business principles, with "new normal" economic realities is more critical than ever before.
Comprehensive Asset/Lien Report with Exclusive Executive Summary – We begin our investigative efforts with an unbiased, complete and comprehensive asset report. We verify all real estate, homestead exemptions, motor vehicles, marine vessels, personal property, tax liens and judgments against the debtor. We do our homework before we make our recommendations to you.
Judgment Lien Perfection- Believe it or not, many attorneys fail to take the critical steps necessary to insure that your judgment lien rights are properly perfected. (Many are very simple, but often times overlooked.) We review your judgment and take all steps necessary to see to it that all steps are taken or corrected to create a valid lien on all available real and personal property of the debtor.
Post- Judgment Garnishment and Sheriff Levies- We routinely enforce our client's judgment by locating active bank accounts and garnishing them and all available receivables. Should the debtor have real estate or personal property, we will instruct the sheriff to attach and sell all property necessary to satisfy your judgment.


In my ongoing mission to post things I've brought home free off the sidewalk, I bring you Part Two of Things My Neighbors Give Away.
Up first is this chair I just finished last week. It's not much to speak of, however it is quite sturdy.
After a little milk paint and some new upholstery, it looks much better!
This piece of furniture stumped me for a while until my mom told me what it was, a swing arm vanity.
With a little TLC it looked much better! You can read more about it here.
I've always had a soft spot for functional furniture and nothing gets more functional than a trunk. This one came to me quite dirty and it sat for some time in the basement before I had the courage to even clean it.
After cleaning, painting, and reupholstering, it's now beautiful and functional! Read more about the trunk redo here.
Finally, here's a coffee table I almost forgot about! I picked this one up, painted it's legs and sold it on craigslist for $50 all with in a week!
That concludes, Part Two of Things My Neighbors Give Away. The chair and the trunk will both be in my Home and Patio Sale July 29th and 30th. If you're in Portland go to NE Fremont and 15th and follow the signs!
