De Evenaarsprovincie (Frans: Équateur) is een provincie in het westen van de Democratische Republiek Congo. De hoofdstad is Mbandaka, een stad aan de Kongo. De provincie heeft een oppervlakte van 103.902 km² en telt volgens een schatting uit 2005 1.626.606 inwoners, of 16 inwoners per km². Daarmee is dit de op 10 na grootste provincie van DR Congo en de op 21 na meest bevolkte provincie.

Geografie
De Evenaarsprovincie grenst in het westen aan buurland Congo-Brazzaville. Van noord naar zuid zijn de omliggende provincies in klokwijzerszin Zuid-Ubangi, Mongala, Tshuapa en Mai-Ndombe.

Provincie van 1966 tot 2015
De voormalige provincie Evenaarsprovincie, die van 1966 tot 2015 bestond, had een oppervlakte van 403.292 km² en had in 1998 6.017.000 inwoners wat een bevolkingsdichtheid van 14,9 inwoners per km² opleverde. Deze provincie omvatte naast de huidige provincie Evenaarsprovincie in het zuidwesten ook de provincies Noord-Ubangi, Zuid-Ubangi, Mongala en Tshuapa. De grote oude provincie grensde naast aan Congo-Brazzaville in het westen ook in het noorden aan de Centraal-Afrikaanse Republiek, in het oosten aan de voormalige provincie Orientale en in het zuiden aan de voormalige provincies Bandundu, Oost- en West-Kasaï.

Krachtens de constitutie van 2005 werd deze provincie gesplitst en werd de oude situatie van voor de provinciefusie van 1966 terug hersteld. De geplande ingangsdatum was februari 2009. Een datum die ruim werd overschreden. De herindeling ging uiteindelijk pas in juni 2015 in.

Bulgarian QuarkVR is About to Put Virtual Reality on the 5G Network for Deutsche Telekom and Orange
Alexandra Kozbunarova 04. February 2019, 06:19
https://www.facebook.com/trendingtopics.bg/videos/291814728196660/
Bulgarian virtual reality streaming software company QuarkVR, which was backed by HTC in 2017, has recently raised a new round of €325K. There are several interesting aspects of this story: first, it's the biggest round ever for the syndicate investment network CEO Angels Club. Secondly, it might seem as a peanut considering the hype for investments in VR, but as they're slowing down worldwide and QuarkVR needs to finance some big projects ahead, it was a rational decision to fundraise at home. Last, but not least the startup needed the capital to grow its dev team and continue testing diverse VR applications for the clients of Deutsche Telekom (DT) and Orange.
In 2018, Orange and (DT) have partnered with the Bulgarian startup QuarkVR and plan to launch virtual reality products such as VR calls, meetings and even factory trainings for corporate clients.
"VR is a desired solution for sectors such as automotive, architecture, aviation engineering, esports and even education and corporate trainings", Krasimir Nikolov, co-founder and CEO of Quark VR, told Trending Topics. The partnership with the telecoms will allow the company to continue spreading the word of corporate applications of VR in Europe.
Last week Nikolov came back from Germany, where he was testing the QuarkVR software on the latest generation of telco equipment – 5G networks. It is part of their DT project that aims to provide factory trainings to a Volkswagen facility. "It's a small sandbox project but it has the potential to be scaled very fast", Nikolov explained. The company is also working on undisclosed projects with Orange that aim to bring VR to the mass consumer in the near future.
QuarkVR was founded in 2014 by Krasimir Nikolov and Georgi Georgiev. While trying to make their own Counter Strike experience more immersive with a developer headset kit, they found out that this hobby tech development might turn into a business. The main product of QuarkVR is a software solution that allows content to be streamed flawlessly on wireless VR headsets. The most important about VR is the speed of the streaming, because the whole virtual environment needs to react to the physical reality and movements of the one wearing the headset. QuarkVR's software allows precision of up to 2 milliseconds by compressing the streamed content and it's capable of streaming to several simultaneous users in the same environment with minimal latency. That's how the VR conference calls are possible.
Fuel for growth
So far, QuarkVR has raised €680K in sum. They received their first funding from the Bulgarian fund Launchub and Vassil Terziev of Telerik joined soon. In 2017, the Taiwanese company HTC was impressed by the technology and invited Nikolov and Georgiev to HTC Vive, their corporate accelerator in San Francisco, and backed them with another €120K. Even though the last time we met them, they were targeting a next round of $1M, QuarkVR just closed it at €325K in order to be able to quickly grow its team of six and get down on its projects with Orange and DT. Seventeen members of CEO Angels Club have invested in syndicate.
'We all expected VR would be a mass product so far. This is not the case yet. One of the main problems is VR with wireless headsets still doesn't work properly and the user experience is mediocre. QuarkVR decided to tackle this problem and we think that this is an important element of the equation to accelerate growth in this industry. QuarkVR has just the right team to do that and their business model is promising. The challenge, however, will be to find their niche and protect the technology." Milen Ivanov, CEO Angels Club, commented.
QuarkVR still doesn't generate any significant revenues. However, according to Nikolov that's not necessarily indicative. "One contract with a clients like DT or Orange could turn us into a profitable company", he said.
Even though VR is still not a mass product, the Bulgarian startup is testing some mass consumer products with French Orange. According to Nikolov, even though the technology has developed slower than expected in the past two years, in 2018 the VR users worldwide have grown almost double. This is a good sign as the company is aiming to bring the technology to the mass audience especially for entertainment and educational purposes, in the near future.

Festive season reappear pretty fast. We are all thrilled at the recurrence of Christmas days because that is the time for families and friends to come together and share the good things of life. And the Christmas season jobs like sprucing up your home, decorating the Christmas tree, cooking large quantities of food, and doing gift-shopping for your family and friends, are all a lot of fun.
Well, it may be fun for most but all jobs may not be a lot of fun for everyone. People have their preferences. Everybody may not like to do a lot of cooking. Likewise, some people get frustrated at the job of wandering from store or store or burning the midnight oil by searching online for a suitable gift. If you belong to this latter group, we are here to help you with your gift selection.
It goes without saying that everybody will not like the same type of gift. Preference for a specific gift will depend wholly on the gift receiver's talents, penchant, and attitude.
An adventurous person is someone who is always looking for some thrill and prefers to remain physically active all the time. Exciting experiences are the best gift for such people. Hot air balloon ride, bungee jumping, being a race car driver or pilot for a day, visit to an exotic place, ticket for a zoo visit, or ticket for a music concert are some of the gifts you can consider for such a person. Needless to say, the cost of these gifts varies over a wide spectrum and you will have to make your choice based upon your budget.
Nothing pleases a collector more than getting a few more items of his collectible. So, if your gift recipient is a collector, your best choice will be a few pieces of the object he collects. That will make your task easy, as far as he is not collecting bizarre objects like dinosaurian fossils. Stamps, matchbox pictures, greeting cards, old coins, antiques, feathers, and rare flowers are some of the more common collectibles. However, before buying him a few specimens of his favorite collectible, ask the gift recipient whether he or she has already got that item. Another idea is to start a collection for someone who is not a collector.
Some people already possess so many things that it will be a formidable job to select something that he or she does not have. The best way out of such bottlenecks is to buy a customized or personalized gift. There are many things like curios, customized photo frames, handcrafted jewelry, embroidered wall hangings, or crocheted table mats which are unlikely to become repetitions. You can add to the item's uniqueness by personalizing the gift by adding the gift recipient's name or an apt quote.
A Christmas gift need not be a onetime gift. You can arrange for gifts that repeat every month or at alternate months or at any intervals that you choose. Periodic gifts of DVDs, magazines, cosmetics, flowers, wines, cakes, chocolates, spa sessions, gym membership, movies, or sight-seeing tours can be arranged through gift subscriptions. You can also arrange for donations to charities in the name of the gift recipient.
These are our suggestions. But this is in no way an exhaustive list. You may have many ideas of your own, and you may have, through experience, known that certain objects make far better gifts than the rest. We will only be happy to hear from you as to why it is so.

PureDWTS Season 28, Week 9: Power Rankings
HE'S GONE, GUYS!!!! HE'S REALLY, FINALLY GONE!!! 🙂 *cue Pharrell's "Happy"*
It only took nine weeks, but we finally shook him loose…and not a moment too soon. Not sure if I was feeling more optimistic at the beginning of the season and fatigue/frustration is setting in now that we're close to the end or what, but somehow, it seems like S*** somehow got WORSE as the season wore on. Even Bristol Palin (whose politically-charged casting I also disapproved of) managed to actually improve during the course of season 11; wacky Rick Perry even got a skosh better before he got booted in season 23. S***…not so much. And yes, I still refuse to say his name – I don't want his supporters or anyone at ABC thinking that "any publicity is good publicity", and thus I make sure it doesn't even show up in the search algorithm by refusing to say it. He should never have been on this show in the first place; the fact that he stuck around as long as he did is a damn travesty. But mercifully, it's over now. And I give all the props in the world to Lindsay and Jenna for being nothing less that consummate professionals and class acts in partnering him this season 🙂
So we saw a bit of wonky scoring last night – I don't think that was an accident, by any means. If I had to guess what was happening, I'd say that someone in the control booth was keeping a very close eye on the votes and scores throughout the show, and was feeding the judges instructions on what scores needed to be given in order to elicit a particular outcome at the end of the night. Based on her being in the bottom 2 twice before, my guess is that the judges were instructed to protect Ally at all costs – hence, two good (but definitely not perfect) dances got gifted with gushing praise and perfect scores. I think they likely were told to go easy on Kel on his second dance, based on the number of votes the man in the control room was seeing – they got kinda nitpicky with his paso in the first hour, but had nothing but good things to say about his good (but again, not perfect) Viennese waltz in the second hour. I'm guessing Hannah and James are doing a-okay with votes, and thus weren't spared from the full force of the judges' nitpicking. Half the judges (Joey, who gets a pass for being the guest judge, and Carrie Ann, who refuses to take any responsibility for S***'s continued presence) whipped out the "7" paddle for S***'s first dance, but demurred for his second dance (which might have actually been slightly better than his first dance) and whipped out the "6" instead. I'd stake money on it that they were ordered to do so by the control room, as it was likely the only way to ensure he fell into the bottom 2. That left Lauren to join him in the bottom 2, and if I'm being honest, this felt like the first time this season that the bottom two actually made sense: S*** was quite obviously the worst dancer left in the competition, and I think Lauren's the weakest one left after him. Though that really didn't matter – the reality was that S*** was going home as soon as he fell into the bottom 2, regardless of who was there with him. Keeping Ally and Kel out of the bottom two was likely more for optics than anything else…
…which brings me to my next thought (or really, a couple of semi-related thoughts): why aren't more people voting for Ally, and at what point will the judges stop saving her if she keeps falling into the bottom 2? I've seen a lot of folks on Twitter trying to figure out why Ally isn't getting more votes, especially since "Normani made it all the way to the finals, the Harmonizers should be carrying Ally as well!" First, I go back to my "Not as many people are watching/voting on DWTS now" point – the show was averaging between 8-11 million viewers 2.5 years ago when Normani was on; now they're barely hovering above 6 million. Secondly (and this is one I really have to sell folks on), I'm still not convinced that Normani was "getting tons of votes" like her fans claim. I explained the many reasons why I think she didn't win in this post, but for the TL:DR crowd, take a look at the margins between Normani and the person voted off each week. Aside from one off-week early on in the season, she always either had pretty hefty padding in terms of points or immunity to keep her safe – she didn't actually NEED a ton of votes in order to stick around each week. Additionally, I also mention in that post the somewhat indifferent attitude DWTS fans seem to have towards female pop stars – they tend to struggle with votes, particularly if they're young and relatively new to the music scene (read: not immediately familiar to Baby Boomers). I tend to think all of these factors that Normani had stacked against her, Ally is likely dealing with as well…and to a greater degree, owing to the demise of Fifth Harmony, overall lower viewer/votership, a pro less popular than Normani's, and a rep as "the worst dancer in Fifth Harmony" (which still I absolutely don't understand). Plus, Ally's up against at least three contestants (four if you count Kel; five when you throw in S***) that appeal more readily to the middle-aged, female, conservative-leaning main viewing demographic. Really and truly, Ally's dealing with a pretty stacked deck – which SUCKS, cause she may actually be the second best dancer this season from a technical standpoint. So that brings me to my next thought: with the new format that allows the judges to pick who goes home from the bottom 2, will they ever reach a point where they stop trying to save someone that ends up there repeatedly? Ally's been there twice already, and been saved both times; if she ends up there next week, is it worth saving her if she's just going to keep ending up there again and again? I think at some point, the judges' are going to have to take into account the fact that a couple that ends up in the bottom 2 repeatedly is just not clicking with fans for whatever reason – and continuing to save that couple could send the message that viewer votes don't necessarily matter, and could risk alienating viewers. It really might be just a stay of execution, so to speak. And when you take into account that she could end up there with a couple that maybe just had an off week (score-wise or votes-wise) and their being in the bottom 2 is really just a fluke…is it worth it to save the one with repeat bottom 2 appearances, and send the one-off couple that shouldn't really even be there packing? It's something to consider, and I saw a few people on Twitter suggesting that the judges should have a limit on how many times they can save the same couple – I don't think it's a bad idea, and could avoid giving the impression that the judges have ultimate control. Clearly this new system for eliminations isn't perfect – it was created to help prevent another Bobby Bones, and yet it allowed one of the worst dancers this season to advance all the way to the quarterfinals; could be worth taking a closer look and see if certain aspects of the system needs tweaking.

He's still here, y'all. 🙁
We're only three weeks away from the finale, and we've eliminated half of this season's cast. Assuming they eliminate one couple next week and another the following week, we're looking at a four-person finale – and given that the judges seem disinclined to really do anything to help the situation, I think we need to start coming terms with the fact that's he's more than likely going to end up in the finals, barring any sort of extreme interference from production. As I predicted last week, this week's bottom two was just a recycling of previous bottom 2 survivors, which makes me think it's going to continue being such (sorry Ally, and possibly sorry Kel) until he finally ends up pitted against contestants that have also been able to steer clear of it thus far (read: Hannah, James, Lauren). I've seen some folks worried that he might win – while I'm not ruling it out completely, I'm also thinking (hoping) that his continued presence is lighting a fire underneath some viewers to vote for all the other couples, and with each week that passes there's fewer and fewer people to spread the votes around to…so those that haven't fallen into the bottom 2 yet are likely amassing bigger and bigger shares of the voting pie, which creates more pressure for his voters to pick up the slack. I've given up on the judges actually scoring him fairly – he should be getting 4's, and not the overly-kind 6's and 7's that the judges are still throwing out. Got blocked by Carrie Ann (again) for telling her that she has no room to be "irritated" with the fans, when she's actively contributing to him sticking around by copping out with her little 7 paddle. So we clearly can't rely on the judges to actually drop the hammer. But if it's any consolation, we confirmed this week that you can vote ten times per couple, per account online, so if you aren't doing so already – go through and add ten votes for each couple EXCEPT HIM, then submit your votes, log out, and repeat with your other accounts. If we ride this hard, it could result in him falling into the bottom 2, where he can finally be flushed out…
So with this continued clownery, the question on everyone's lips seems to be "Is the show going to be cancelled?" If you're just asking for my opinion, I say if this is the type of nonsense we can look forward to for seasons to come, the show SHOULD be cancelled; however, the actual answer is quite a bit more complicated than that. Ratings are at their lowest; however, if ABC is going to cancel DWTS, they're going to have to come up with something else to put in its time slot that can hold its own against The Voice, which airs concurrently on NBC. I don't know that it's going to be very easy for ABC to track down a new show to replace DWTS, but I could see them swapping it out – and I think the most likely candidate is American Idol. It's currently airing on Sundays (which is actually considered a more competitive time slot than Mondays) and is pulling in roughly the same ratings as The Voice on Monday nights. Why ABC has such confidence in an outdated reality competition format is beyond me, but I could see them giving DWTS' Monday night slot to Idol and either putting DWTS on Sundays or scrapping it altogether. I mean, they've got all manner of fluffy stuff they can pad Sunday night out with – America's Funniest Home Videos, Kids Say the Darndest Things, Shark Tank, etc. However, AI has been airing in the spring, and is already greenlit for a spring 2020 season; will ABC take the risk of doing two seasons of AI in a year and over-saturating viewers? Can they even AFFORD to do so, given Katy Perry's bloated salary? There's a lot of variables to consider when it comes to cancelling DWTS, and while I can't in good conscience condone several continued seasons of the shenanigans currently happening, I can't say confidently that this show will be toast after this one. Will be interesting to see what (if anything) gets said about another season on finale night…if they don't say anything, up-fronts in May of next year will be a key time to watch…
So we lost Kate & Pasha, which, while not unexpected, was still disappointing. I actually thought her jive was her strongest Latin dance, and was impressed and how bouncy and clean the legwork was – which made it all the more annoying when the judges seemed to downplay how well she did, and she ended up with the same score as Lauren for a dance that I thought was actually better. But boy am I glad that they were on this season, and that Pasha was a pro – as Len mentioned last week (I think), Pasha has forced all the other pros to up their game in terms of content, and it's benefited just about everyone. You could tell Len was sad to see them go when he did press line after Monday's show, so I guess that's something… Read more..

Well I guess it goes without saying that Halloween Night brought some bad juju with it that I'm struggling to shake. My girl crush Kate (and male pro messiah, Pasha) fell into the bottom two, while you-know-who somehow dodged the bottom two altogether (again). And I'm noticing a disturbing pattern with his supporters: with each week that passes with him sticking around, they seem to take on more aggressive, offensive posturing; they're likely heartened by witnessing human garbage like former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus antagonizing Erin on Twitter, over a perceived "sad face" that she apparently had when you-know-who was announced as safe. He did this completely unprovoked, I might add – and that's what's really disturbing to me. Bones' fans may have been annoying, but I don't recall them going out of their way to pick fights with his detractors (until finale night, when they all apparently decided to flood my mentions). Supporters of Lindsay's partner seem to have started searching the #dwts hashtag, and start pig piling on anyone that dares to say anything negative about him – or nothing at all about him (I legit saw one poor fan inundated with "Funny how you've left S*** out of your list of favorites" and "You're gonna feel so stupid when S*** wins this whole season!" tweets from the #MAGA faction). I don't even think half these people voting for him even like him as a person or a dancer – I think they just like thinking they've somehow "stuck it to the liberals" by keeping him on the show. This is why I refuse to say his name – not only does it give him power in social media algorithms, but it just allows the bad juju of the people that support him to find its way into my timeline. I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS ENERGY. But unfortunately, this show did, and when you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas…
I've inevitably had a few fans asking me "What can we do to stop this??? How do we get rid of him????" and I wish I had an easy answer for you. The fool's errand this season has left us with is to basically vote for EVERY SINGLE OTHER COUPLE, in the hope that they all eventually surpass him in combined scores and votes. However, my gut feeling (one I share with Heidi) is that it's not necessarily that he's getting a ton of votes – it's that there's not very many votes being cast, TOTAL, and thus it's giving a small-but-determined fanbase more voting power than they'd normally have. If that's the case, then every vote that is not for him should help – and it seems like there's some debate over whether the online accounts will allow you (10) votes total (to distribute among the couples as you see fit, as it's always been), or whether they will allow you to vote ten times apiece for each couple (like the text voting, which allows you a max of (10) votes per couple). If you truly can vote ten times per couple per account, then y'all, I recommend you ride that till the wheels fall off – that could be the key to finally ousting this festering boil of a contestant. If it's not the case, then I hope you guys are still voting nonetheless – if you wanted to vote more strategically, I would suggest throwing votes to James, Lauren, and/or Hannah, as I think those are the three that ol' Frankenstein is going to struggle to surpass in votes (they've never been in the bottom 2, while Kate, Ally, and Kel all have). All I know is that if this show ends up with another bullsh*t winner, we can probably kiss it goodbye…hell, we might still kiss it goodbye, even if he doesn't win. But I'll be damned if I don't put up a fight first…
So as I had generally been thinking for the past several weeks, we inevitably lost Karamo – half of the bottom two from last night had no business being there, and I think Karamo had plateaued with his dancing and wasn't likely to improve much more this season. If you-know-who had gone home last night (or last week…or the week before…) like he ought to, I think Karamo would have probably been in the bottom two with him, and probably would have been the next one eliminated, anyway. I still love the story and the energy he brought with him, though, and if nothing else, I now have a quite fetching "OMG BEEEEYOOOOONNNNNCCCEEEE!" pterodactyl screeching Karamo sound byte as my text tone, graciously created for me by reader Rob 😉 Read more..

Timid End To Van Gaal's Turbulent Career As Koeman Waits In The Wings
REUTERS/Kai Pfaffenbach
A downcast Louis van Gaal answered a handful of questions after the Netherlands' quarter-final defeat by Argentina, rose from the podium and exited left – a timid end to a turbulent career that came to a close at the World Cup in Qatar.
The 71-year-old, who has battled with cancer over the last year, concluded his third spell as the Netherlands coach with their penalty shootout loss and will be replaced by Ronald Koeman.
"In principle this is it for me," said Van Gaal earlier in the tournament, "but you can never say never".
He had been brought out of retirement when Frank de Boer was fired after elimination in the last 16 of the European Championship by the Czech Republic for a third spell in charge of the Dutch.
Van Gaal took over in September last year, leading the Dutch to World Cup qualification, after they had missed out on the 2018 finals in Russia.
They also won their Nations League group and will host the finals in June against Croatia, Italy and Spain.
Van Gaal had also been coach when the Dutch reached the 2014 World Cup finals, beaten then also on post-match penalties by Argentina.
That proved the high point of a career that included Champions League success with Ajax Amsterdam, two LaLiga titles at Barcelona, the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich but a disappointing spell at Manchester United, although they did win the FA Cup in 2016.
All of which was characterised by a reputation for meticulous planning and attention to detail but also a single-minded belief in his own ability that won him many admirers and detractors in equal measure.
His battles with the media were many, spawning even a book by one reporter about his many encounters with Van Gaal.
The coach revealed in April he had received 25 radiation treatments for an aggressive form of prostate cancer, having kept the diagnosis from his players during the World Cup qualifiers.
They had been unaware Van Gaal was wearing a catheter beneath his tracksuit during training sessions or that he was spending nights after matches in hospital.
He has also said any future jobs would depend on the agreement of his wife Truus, who he had twice promised before that he would go into retirement only to reverse his decision.
Koeman, 59, will take over, having already signed in April a three-year deal to return as Netherlands boss from 2023.
It will be Koeman's second spell in charge of his country, having led them to runners-up in the Nations League in 2019 and qualification for Euro 2020 before ditching the job when Barcelona offered him a chance to coach them in August 2020. He lasted only 14 months before being fired by the Catalan club.
"I am looking forward to the new collaboration. I certainly did not leave the Dutch national team out of dissatisfaction," Koeman said when he signed the contract.
"My stay felt good, the results were good and the click with the internationals was good. We will soon continue on that path. That is certain for me."

Learning from breast cancer survivors and weight loss
A study published in July and shared by the American Institute for Cancer Research shares how diet and exercise affect breast cancer survivors, and the impact is fantastic.
Good morning and welcome to the Ben Garves Podcast – a show at the intersection of health, activism, and technology. I'm your host, Ben Garves.
Why weight loss and breast cancer are linked
Mya Nelson, a science writer for the AICR (American Institute of Cancer Research), says, "There are plenty of reasons why breast cancer survivors who are overweight or obese after treatment may be advised to shed weight. Research indicates that (sic) obesity increases the risk of cancer recurrence and even earlier death in women diagnosed with breast cancer. Too much body fat also increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and other chronic conditions that can have serious effects."
It's no big shock that keeping a healthy and active lifestyle can help deflect negative impacts of chronic disease, especially as we age. Mya goes on to say it's important to also be mindful that just losing weight through diet and not through exercise can be detrimental, because it implies muscle loss unless you stay physically active.
The study on weight loss in breast cancer survivors
Here's a little bit about the study itself. It took a look at 351 survivors of breast cancer who underwent treatment within six months of the study's start. Those 351 survivors, averaging 60 years of age and categorized as overweight or obese, were separated into four groups, each with a different concentration. The first group focused on exercise, the second on diet, the third on diet and exercise combined, and the fourth group received no guidance for their lifestyles and served as the control group. To clarify – that group was told to seek advice from their typical care providers about guidance on exercise and nutrition.
The study ran for a year, during which the women in the group assigned to exercise took on both resistance and aerobic training in-person and at home. The group focusing on diet and nutrition met with dietitians on a regular basis and were given a set diet for five months, then dove into some behavior modifications in how they shopped and prepared food. They had a set goal to lose ten percent of their weight with an emphasis on consuming veggies and fruit. Finally, the combined diet and exercise group focused on exercise for six weeks before adding in a nutrition element.
Exercise and diet in breast cancer survivors
At the end of the year, the diet group averaged six percent bodyweight loss and the combined group lost a little over seven percent. While the exercise group didn't average any weight loss, it's worth pointing out that the study didn't focus on body composition change and that group was very likely to have a much more-healthy muscle-to-fat ratio after a year of exercise. It also points out how valuable nutrition is, in addition to exercise, if you're looking to make an overall weight change in addition to getting physically fit.
That wraps it up for today. Thanks for listening to the Ben Garves Podcast, at the intersection of health, activism, and technology. Don't forget, Fitness is for Everyone™.

Wesleyan professor to present lecture on terrorism and potential terrorist threats
Community, Wesleyan
Buckhannon — Dr. Coty Martin, assistant professor of political science at West Virginia Wesleyan College, will present "Terrorism and Potential Terrorist Threats to the United States and American Interests in 2020," on Feb. 17, at 7 p.m.
The presentation, which is free and open to the public, is part of Wesleyan's Faculty Lecture Series and will be held in the Virginia Thomas Law Center for the Performing Arts.
Martin recently completed his dissertation at West Virginia University entitled "State Capacity and Terrorism in the Developing World," examining counterterrorism policies in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. In this lecture, he will provide a brief history of terrorism as a tactic of political violence around the world and then discuss two threats to American interests in 2020.
These include threats to American interests abroad by Iran as a state-sponsor of terrorism and domestic threats currently under investigation by the FBI, including white supremacist and Neo-Nazi organizations operating in the United States.
Martin joined Wesleyan's Faculty in 2017. In addition to holding a Ph.D. in political science at WVU, he earned a M.A. in political science from East Carolina University and a B.A. in international studies at The Ohio State University.

Performing is an important skill every pianist must have. Whether you are a budding pianist or a concert pianist, the ability to perform in front of an audience without letting your nerves get in the way is an impressive skill that showcases your musicianship.
For the first time since the inception of the Associate Board of the Royal Schools of Music ("ABRSM") examinations in 1889, budding musicians will get to play their favourite pieces at a performance-focused examination that is examined under the ABRSM. Like a mini recital, the new examination encourages candidates to select pieces that when put together, creates an enjoyable 30-minute programme.
Designed to give ABRSM Grade 8 graduates an extra boost of confidence to progress on to the next level - Diploma of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music ("DipABRSM"); Associate of the Royal Schools of Music ("ARSM"), is a flexible, performance-centric examination that gives candidates the opportunity to create and perform their own pieces. Candidates can pick a variety of music pieces from both the ABRSM syllabus and a repertoire of their choice that is at least of ABRSM Grade 8 standard.
This is certainly good news for students whose forte lies in performing. The new ARSM certification offers them the opportunity to work on improving and or perfecting their performance skills, thus preparing them to deliver engaging and captivating live performances.
Students who are not strong at sight reading and or answering questions can also opt to take the ARSM, so that they can focus on performing. This, in turn, boosts their confidence level when they move on to take the DipABRSM. And with just one component – the performance – in the examination to prepare for, students can channel all their focus and energies on acing the ARSM and quickly advance on to take their diplomas. In this respect, the ARSM bridges the gap between ABRSM Grade 8 and the DipABRSM.
In some cases, piano teachers would advise ABRSM Grade 8 graduates to opt for the Trinity ATCL Diploma, a performance-only diploma offered by the Trinity College London. If these students are confident of this performance-oriented examination, it may act as a good stepping stone towards attaining the DipABRSM, which includes three more components. Now, however, with the ARSM, they can choose to continue their music studies under the same ABRSM Board.
Furthermore, having professional accreditation in the form of an ARSM certificate brings a number of advantages. Firstly, practicing for this performance-centric examination helps to build a student's level of confidence in their playing skills. It would also be a good opportunity for students to get used to planning for and performing at a recital. Thirdly, students can exercise their creativity and musical ear when putting together a 30-minute recital.
Currently, there are three types of music performance diplomas offered under the ABRSM after ABRSM Grade 8: DipABRSM, LRSM and FRSM. The FRSM is on equal standing to a master's degree from a well-known university and or conservatoire. The new ARSM would, of course, be good news for both music teachers and parents, who may see more students making the effort to continue to excel beyond Grade 8.
In Singapore, most people tend to think that the ABRSM Grade 8 examination is the end of a budding pianist – or musician's – study journey. Few individuals would look into pursuing an ABRSM diploma. The introduction of the ARSM should change this development in a positive way.

(Ag,Cu)-Ta-O ternaries as high-temperature solid-lubricant coatings

solid lubricants; high temperature; ternary metal oxides; silver tantalate; copper tantalate; friction; wear
Ternary oxides have gained increasing attention due to their potential use as solid lubricants at elevated temperatures. In this work, the tribological properties of three ternary oxides—AgTaO3, CuTaO3, and CuTa2O6—were studied using a combination of density-functional theory (DFT), molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with newly developed empirical potential parameters, and experimental measurements (AgTaO3 and CuTa2O6 only). Our results show that the MD-predicted friction force follows the trend AgTaO3 < CuTaO3 < CuTa2O6, which is consistent with the experimentally measured coefficients of friction. The wear performance from both MD and experiment exhibits the opposite trend, with CuTa2O6 providing the best resistance to wear. The sliding mechanisms are investigated using experimental characterization of the film composition after sliding, quantification of Ag or Cu cluster formation at the interface during the evolution of the film in MD, and DFT energy barriers for atom migration on the material surface. All our observations are consistent with the hypothesis that the formation of metal (or metal oxide) clusters on the surface are responsible for the friction and wear behavior of these materials.

Rumman Ahmed Visits Chandigarh To Promote ZEE TV's New Show Sethji
By: Kirat | April 10, 2017
While Indian society underwent several tangible and intangible changes amidst its economic transformation, there were some who chose not to forget their roots and stuck to their culture, values and traditions. Premiering on 17th April, from Monday to Friday at 7 PM, ZEE TV's next primetime offering 'Sethji' brings to you an intriguing story of a unique ram-rajya village – Devsu, that runs on its own set of rules and principles. Detached from the rest of the world, Devsu considers its borders sacred and is far away from corruption, temptation and dishonesty. As we move swiftly towards a modern and digitalized India, there exists a Devsu that is devoid of even basic signs of urban development like concrete roads, cars, electricity, comfort utilities, ATMs or mobile networks and yet is a happy, self-sufficient world. The show raises a question – Can the 'aadarshon waala Bharat' and the 'Pragati wala India' take cues from each other, match each other step-for-step and walk towards a Utopian state that combines the best of both worlds?
(Tata Sampann Organises Sampann Surprise Cook-off Event At Chandigarh)
Safeguarding Devsu's interests, watching over its people and every development like a hawk is its strong matriarch, Sethji. While giving technological advancement a cold shoulder, Devsu still manages to offer old-world solutions to every conceivable need of its inhabitants. Devsu draws its rooted yet progressive personality from its feisty, 38-year-old leader, Sethji, a woman of substance. A perfect blend of autocratic power and sensitivity, Sethji rules Devsu with an iron hand and at the same time, is devoted to her equally important roles of being a loving mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. Her command is the final word in Devsu. Against the backdrop of this unique village, a beautiful, unlikely love story will develop between Sethji's son Baaji Rao, a simpleton who has never seen anything beyond the borders of his village and Pragati, a fearless modern girl from across the border who has never seen anything like Devsu. To see how Baaji Rao, who emulates the principles of the traditionalist Sethji, falls in love with the urban, rebel Pragati and what lies in store for them, stay tuned to Sethji on Zee TV.
Produced by Offshore Productions, the show will see the return of the talented Gurdeep Kohli on Indian television in the title role of Sethji. She is the custodian of Devsu's customs, practices and laws. People look up to her sense of justice as she doesn't even stop short of punishing her own family. Debutant Avinash Kumar will play the young, emotional and innocent Bajirao, the son of Sethji. He falls in love with a city girl named Pragati, played by the pretty Rumman Ahmed.
Promoting the show in Chandigarh, Rumman Ahmed who will play the role of Pragati shares, "During the past few decades, technology has become an integral part of our society and we live in a modern, digitalized India. When I heard the concept of Sethji, I immediately fell in love with the story and was intrigued that how in a century governed by technology, there exists a village which is completely untouched by it. I am excited to play the role of Pragati. She is a beautiful, independent, modern day girl who is progressive in her thoughts and a strong advocate of evolution in the form of technology and digitalization. Like any young person from the 21st century, she has not only embraced technology but belongs to a generation that have never lived or imagined a life without it. It will be interesting to see what will transpire when she comes across Sethji who is a strong woman who believes in the ways of the past, is a staunch traditionalist and detests change. I am looking forward to bringing this interesting show to the audiences and I am excited that the show I feel so passionately about is being promoted in Chandigarh, a city that I have much love and affinity for."
What will happen when the modern city girl Pragati meets the village boy Baaji Rao? Will Sethji accept their relationship and what changes will it bring to their lives?
Watch Sethji, from 17th April every Monday to Friday at 7PM only on ZEE TV!

It started with a scrambled message.
After getting a puzzle via The Avengers Second Screen app, fans at San Diego's Comic-Con went on the hunt Friday for a trail of clues that would eventually lead to a hidden screening for the new Marvel One-Shot short Item 47.
Not in San Diego? Or maybe just bad at scavenger hunts?
Fear not. Entertainment Weekly did the trek for you — and we came away with an exclusive clip.
Item 47 is kind of epilogue to The Avengers about a young couple (Jesse Bradford and Lizzy Caplan) who go on a crime spree after recovering one of the discarded alien guns. Maximiliano Hernandez and Titus Welliver co-star as two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who have the task of nabbing the young outlaws.
Check out the full 12-minute movie will be on The Avengers Blu-Ray disc in September.

Idea of Markit

MARKIT SUMMIT 2022 - KINDNESS IN ACTION
06/07/2022 ·
In May 2022, 150 of our beloved Markiteers gathered in Cologne, Germany for our annual Markit Summit.
The sun was shining. Positivity and kindness were in the air. It was to be the start of a unique and memorable set of experiences.
Given the horrific war in Ukraine and pressing climate change issues it was clear the Markit 2022 Summit would be quite different to previous years. The agenda was transformed to focus on one of Markit's key values: KINDNESS
As Andres Agasild, our passionate CEO, said:
"We can simply say, that at Markit, our strategy is kindness. Not underestimating the ability to help by creating superb value through technological and business innovation, we know that it is kindness that gives life, the right focus, and intent to everything we do.
From helping clients succeed, to being on a mission of positive change, to living our core values to improve the realities around us - kindness breeds kindness, and spreading it through all aspects and activities of Markit is our mission.
Kindness as our strategy for business.
Markiteers are inspired by the Musketeers, and we have adopted their motto: "One for all, and all for one".
We feel that this idea is central and more relevant than ever to address the challenges around us.
Kindness cannot afford complacency.
Summit 2022 was all about Kindness in Action!"
KINDNESS IN ACTION
In a world full of green-washing and slick CSR-marketing-speak, it's easy to forget that, in reality, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. Markit is not full of policies and reports about how nice we are to our people, partners, and the planet but Summit was a chance for more action and so we would like to share a little about what took place.
Words can't describe the horror and tragedy unfolding Ukraine but Markit is committed to helping. At the Summit we chose to dedicate our resources to assisting the Yellow-Blue Cross German-Ukrainian Association.
It was "smart helping". Pre-summit discussions revealed two important bottlenecks to delivering aid to Ukraine: Cash and packing help.
Markit donated 90,000€ to pay for essential food, safety, and medical items (no teddy bears or other non-essential items) and their transport to targeted locations within Ukraine.
On top of that, 150 Markiteers helped the Blue-Yellow Cross team to pack the boxes and pallets, ready to be loaded on to the trucks.
By the time the Summit had ended a few days later, the goods had been delivered.
Our help in Cologne was a continuation of Markit's Response to the War in Ukraine.
The Blau-Gelbes Kreuz (Yellow-Blue Cross) is a state-approved, non-profit association based in Cologne, which has been supporting the development of a free, democratic Ukraine since 2014 and providing help for the victims of the war, especially for children, internally displaced persons, the injured and other people in need from the regions affected by the war.
If you would like help this amazing organisation then reach out to Blue-Yellow Cross through their website or simply make a donation now on PayPal.
NO PLANET B
We joined together with foresters from the Ahrweiler district council (south of Cologne) and physically planted 1,300 trees (Douglas Fir and Walnut) .
We had previously bought a plot of land near the scene of Germany's worst natural disaster in half a century. A flood that killed 98 people in the area. Climate scientists say it is highly likely man-made pollution was a factor.
This activity alone may not have a huge impact on our planet's climate but it's a great start and we will be planting more around the world...watch this space for more details in the future!
Be inspired - Plant some trees with your friends and colleagues.
As Greta Thunberg famously said, "There is no Planet B."
We all have an obligation to help reduce GHG emissions and be kind to our planet.
Planting trees is not all we intend to do. Markit is already helping in other ways.
Please see our recently published a paper about Sustainable IT Procurement with suggestions how clients can reduce the environmental impact of their IT purchasing and how Markit is enabling those possibilities.
Summit is a time for learning, fun, and bonding too. It's the time of year when Markiteers come together, welcome new employees and catch up with our international colleagues.
FOLLOWING IN THE TRACKS OF CHAMPIONS
Michael Schumacher, the seven-time World Champion began his career at the Erftlandring, a venue near his hometown of Kerpen-Manheim owned by the family.
Now known as the MICHAEL SCHUMACHER KART CENTER, it was the place where Michael and his brother Ralf built their passion for racing.
Markiteers had the honour (and great fun) to race each other in the first ever MARKIT GRAND PRIX!
MarkitED
Whether it's about continuous professional development or something more personal, Summit is a place of learning too.
In a series of quickfire presentations from Markiteers, we learned about:
How to freeze your fear
Handling anxiety
The secret lives of Markiteers
Mindfulness and living in the moment
How to plant 25,000 trees
About Singapore - Markit's main Asian office
The benefits of multiculturalism in the workplace
The Summit came to its emotional, reflective, and celebratory end with a party - cruising down the Rhine on board the Königin Silvia – dancing the night away to the live sounds of Frankie Animal, from Estonia.
Of course, part of the Summit is also to talk about company results and plans.
Markit has continued growing thanks to our continued hard work and success in helping our clients save time and money on their IT hardware and accessories purchasing.
Our goals and vision remain firmly on track, with kindness at the core of it all.
Special thanks are due to Team Markit Germany for making everyone so welcome and educating us about Cologne's vibrant and diverse 2000-year history.
Until next year.
Markiteers. All for one and one for all!

2019 BMW X3 M review
International first drive
Alborz Fallah
Price & Specs
$157,900 Mrlp
More BMW X3
Visit our BMW Showroom
The X3 M will be the best selling BMW M car in Australia, but does it deserve to be?
Relentless torque
Excellent power delivery from powertrain
Looking mean
Very practical
Very firm ride
Seat comfort front and rear
Feels its weight
No substitute for an M3, at least on track
CarPlay remains an option
BMW's performance division believes the X3 M will likely be the best-selling M-Car when it launches in August, so it's strange to think that BMW had left this segment to Mercedes-AMG and Audi RS for this long. But now that the long-awaited X3 M is finally here, was it worth the wait?
We flew to New York to find out by reviewing the new 2019 BMW X3 M and X4 M both on-track and on-road. Both of these cars are basically the same, except the X4 adopts a coupe look to take on the GLC63 Coupe. Other than that, they both share the same platform and architecture. In fact, BMW's official data claims that the X3 M and X4 M both weigh 1970kg and even have the same 51:49 weight distribution (although the suspension engineer told us there is a 10–15kg difference front to rear between the two).
Nonetheless, considering that the X3 M will account for the absolute majority of sales, we did focus our attention primarily on the more practical model tested here. From the outside, the M models are easy to tell apart with more aggressive front and rear bumpers and quad exhausts. The black grille and highlights also do wonders for the menacing look.
For Australian-delivered models of the X3 M ($157,900) and X4 M ($164,900), all will be the Competition variants by default, which sit above the base models offered in other markets. The standard-fit packages see a power bump, as well as bigger wheels (21 inches) and the sports exhaust as standard kit.
The party trick of the X3 M is the new S58 engine. This is the first time that the engine going into a new M3 and M4 has debuted in another car. If that doesn't tell you how significant and important the new X3 M is, then nothing will.
BMW says the new engine is 90 per cent new parts and shares very little with the current motor in the M3. It's still a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine with two single-scroll turbos, but the focus has been to reduce pressure loss, which is why it runs only at 2.3bar of pressure, but somehow manages an insane 375kW of power and 600Nm of torque.

2019 Mercedes-Benz C200 review…
That's unsurprisingly the exact power output of a GLC63 AMG, but is 100Nm down on torque against its main rival. Perhaps there really is no substitute for two additional cylinders. It's also outgunned from 0–100km/h, coming in at 4.1 seconds against 3.8 – even if the AMG weighs 40kg more (1970kg vs 2010kg).
BMW has also ditched the dual-clutch transmission, replacing it with a standard eight-speed torque converter from ZF, which allows for much smoother shifts at low speeds around town and definitely suits the character of the SUV.
Jump inside and the interior of the X3 M is a very pleasant place to be. The build quality, general ambience and tactile sensation are very much befitting of a car its price. The steering wheel is super thick and great to hold, as you'd expect from an M-Car, and the X3 M has adopted the new M5's gearstick (which means you can finally put an M-Car in park without having to turn it off), red starter button, and the M1 and M2 buttons (also in red) on the steering wheel.
We like that the newly developed front seats have adjustable bolstering and certainly look the business. But to be fair, they are rather firm and lacking significant lumbar support, and it didn't get much better in the rear, as the second-row passengers will find their seats lacking significant padding.
Furthermore, the X3 M, much like the X3, misses out on the latest version of iDrive (7), so there are no RFID-enabled credit card keys or features like reversing assistant that we have truly come to love from the new X5, X7 and 3 Series. Apple CarPlay also remains an option, making BMW the only car company apart from Ferrari to charge for the system. That's not to say the interior isn't terrific, because it is, but it's not perfect.
Press that red starter button and the S58 comes to life with a little growl. This engine has a lot to deliver both here and in the M3, but our first impressions with it are that it doesn't feel its full 375kW. Without launch control, there is a noticeable amount of lag off the line before the gearbox and engine decide it's time to really take off.
It does sound pretty decent for a twin-turbo six, though, and not all that different to the previous car. There are three modes to pick from: Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus, and if you put it into Sport Plus there are plenty of crackles from the back. We are not a fan of the 'enhanced' exhaust note being pumped through the speakers, but it actually sounds better from the outside than on the inside – which, apart from the noisy M-specific side mirrors, is very quiet.
We were also a little bit surprised by the super-firm ride quality of the X3 M, which is further exaggerated in the even stiffer X4 M (though we are told they are identical). Even in Comfort mode, the SUV's ride is tuned for flat cornering rather than comfort. Find yourself a few bumpy roads and you can feel everything through the seats. It's actually an ideal set-up if you're keen to track your car frequently, but we wonder how many X3 or X4 M owners would want to do that?
On the plus side, the gearbox works beautifully with the engine at all speeds and RPM. On the move, the X3 M changes direction with an extreme level of precision. So much so that you can immediately tell there is an all-new steering system employed here (completely different to the regular X3), which means a much sharper turn-in and great feedback.
In a humorous kind of way, the Sport Plus setting for the steering makes it so artificially heavy that even BMW's own staff admitted it's akin to a gym workout. Comfort steering is where you'll likely always be, and with the two M buttons on the wheel you can set your own customised set-up for different occasions.
So, for example, we would have our daily commute done in M1, which would be set to Sport Plus for the engine and Comfort for ride and steering with the exhaust open. When we came across a twisty bit of road or wanted to have some fun, we would program M2 to Sport Plus for both engine and ride, but keep steering in Comfort.
BMW put us on New York's famous racetrack, Monticello, to experience the cars flat out. While this was an almost pointless exercise in showing off just what the cars can do, it was also a reminder of how far we've come in the last few decades – that an SUV can now tear up a racetrack and look good doing it, and probably be significantly faster than supercars of just 10 years ago.
What you'll notice with the M SUVs at the limit on a racetrack is, firstly, how amazing the brakes are. The 19-inch brake system is borrowed from the 760i, so it has an insane amount of braking power, and despite our repeated abuse, it didn't really show much fade.
But, secondly, no matter what, you can't defy the laws of physics. BMW's boss of M, Markus Flasch, told us that the aim with these SUVs was to make you 'feel' like you are driving an M3 or M4. Well, it feels like an M3 with an extra 400kg or so, which means there is a lot of weight shift from front to rear under brakes, and the rear gets pretty tail happy (which is fun, to be honest) if you're in xDrive Sport and pushing hard out of a corner. But there is also understeer and the car struggles to get its power down.
We did a fair few laps of Monticello Raceway in an X4 M and very much enjoyed the experience, but neither it nor the X3 M are made for the track. Both M and AMG always like to pretend otherwise with their SUVs, but that's simply not the case with these cars. They are inherently compromised.
We would fathom a guess and say around a 5km track, the current M3 or M4 would be significantly faster (4–5 seconds) than this car because of how much confidence it inspires mid-corner. Furthermore, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres don't last that many laps and are much better suited to a road.
Which is a good thing, actually, because we punted the X3 M extensively around the mountainous roads of New Jersey and found it to be excellent. It's here where the X3 M really shines. This is a road-destroying super-sporty SUV, and it does that job brilliantly. Give it a twisty road and the hard suspension makes a lot of sense, there is endless grip and zero body roll, and the steering is so delightful that once you get to the end, you will turn around and do it again. You genuinely cannot help but smile as you push the latest Bavarian missile through such roads.
Overall, our first impressions of the BMW X3 M and X4 M are that they are a natural extension of the M range into what will be a super-popular segment. Those looking for more practicality than an M3, but seeking the power and prestige of the M brand, no longer have to desert to AMG, but we do have to question the car's super-firm ride and we are yet to drive it on Australian roads. So, the final verdict will be an Australian test and a comparison against the GLC63 coming up in August.
For now, though, what we can say is that if ride quality is very important to you, you really won't go wrong with the X3 M40i, which delivers more than enough power and torque at a much more affordable price.

With so much excitement about progress in artificial intelligence, one may wonder why intelligent machines aren't already running our lives. Key advances have the capacity to dazzle the public, policymakers and investors into believing that human-level machine intelligence may be just around the corner.
But a new report, which tries to gauge actual progress being made, attests that this is far from true. The findings may help inform the discussion over how AI will affect the economy and jobs in the coming years, MIT Technology Review reported.
The report is part of an ongoing effort, called the AI Index, to quantify progress in artificial intelligence and identify areas where more is still needed.
Brynjolfsson says the new report should help with these sorts of economic investigations. "The next thing to ask is how this (progress) will affect the economy and jobs," he says.
Three new reports combine to suggest these answers: It can probably do less right now than what one thinks. But it will eventually do more than one probably thinks, in more places than one probably thinks, and will probably evolve faster than powerful technologies have in the past.
This bundle of research is itself a sign of the AI boom. Researchers across disciplines are scrambling to understand the likely trajectory, reach and influence of the technology—already finding its way into things like self-driving cars and image recognition online—in all its dimensions. Doing so raises a host of challenges of definition and measurement, because the field is moving quickly—and because companies are branding things AI for marketing purposes.
An "AI Index," created by researchers at Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other organizations, released Thursday, tracks developments in artificial intelligence by measuring aspects like technical progress, investment, research citations and university enrollments. The goal of the project is to collect, curate and continually update data to better inform scientists, businesspeople, policymakers and the public.
The McKinsey Global Institute published a report Wednesday about automation and jobs, sketching out different paths the technology might take and its effect on workers, by job category in several countries. One finding: Up to one-third of the US workforce will have to switch to new occupations by 2030, in about a dozen years.
And in an article published in November by the National Bureau of Economic Research, economists from MIT and the University of Chicago suggest an answer to the puzzle of why all the research and investment in AI technology have had little effect on productivity.
- Technology itself is only one ingredient in determining the trajectory of AI and its influence. Economics, government policy and social attitudes will play major roles as well.
- Historical patterns of adoption of major technologies, from electricity to computers, are likely to hold true for AI. But if the pattern is similar, the pace may not be. And if it is much faster, as many researchers predict, the social consequences could be far more wrenching than in past transitions.


Not too sure does cotton pads even affect your routine but for me, pads are life changing. Let's talk pads shall we? I use two pads a day. First one to pre-cleanse my face and the second one to revisit the face to ensure its clean and then remove those brows and mascara residue. Out of many that I've tried ranged from RM5-RM30, there are three that I really fancy.
In sequence, you can tell that Nature Republic's cotton pads are my favourite. Such a bummer that it's out of stock everywhere! So if you manage to get your hands on those, buzz me. In the meanwhile, keep an eye on thebodyshop.com for an occasional 20% off sitewide + free shipping throughout Malaysia. Stocked up on some pads and now I'm all set for the rest of the year. Pretty amazing how online shopping could save you some bucks eh?


The Director-General of UNESCO, Ms Irina Bokova, welcomed the adoption of a new UN Security Council Resolution 2199 that condemns the destruction of cultural heritage and adopts legally-binding measures to counter illicit trafficking of antiquities and cultural objects from Iraq and Syria.
"The adoption of resolution 2199 is a milestone for enhanced protection of cultural heritage in Iraq and Syria, extending to Syria the prohibition of trade of cultural objects already in place for Iraq since 2003. It is also a clear recognition that the pillage, destruction and trafficking of cultural heritage are more than a cultural tragedy – this is also a security and political imperative to be taken into account in all peace efforts," said the Director-General.
"Pillage and destruction of Iraq's and Syria's culture has reached an unprecedented scale. It fuels the conflict by providing revenues for armed groups and terrorists. This resolution acknowledges that cultural heritage stands on the frontline of conflicts today, and it should be placed on the frontline of the security and political response to the crisis," she added.
The Director General also welcomed the strong call to the responsibility of all parties in the conflict to protect cultural heritage. She commended the overwhelming support by Security Council Members in favour of this resolution.
Welcoming the explicit role attributed to UNESCO by the Security Council, the Director-General reaffirmed the Organization's commitment "to stand by Member States to ensure the full respect of the UNESCO 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property".
"The destruction of the unique cultural heritage of Syria and Iraq is a loss for all humanity and it is our common responsibility to stand up for its protection," concluded the Director General.


Marijuana infused gummy candy are one of the most popular edibles in dispensaries, and they are a popular edible to make at home, too. Brownies and cookies are easier to make, but they have gluten and fat and loads of calories, so many patients prefer a gummy.
Gummies don't have fat, so we don't use butter or oil to infuse them. It's easiest to make gummies with concentrates, but we can also use an alcohol-infused tincture. At the dispensary, choose a concentrate in a glass container so you can simply place it on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven. When the concentrate is decarboxylated, it will be a hot liquid and will easily pour into your gummy mixture.
That gummy consistency comes from either gelatin or pectin. Both are gelling agents, but gelatin is an animal product, so vegans need to use pectin, a plant-based thickener. Gelatin only needs liquid to bloom, like juice, wine, water. Pectin requires sugar and acidity, like lemon juice, to set up properly.
For easy gummies, we use gelatin. In the future we'll do some pectin recipes, but for now, let's just stick with gelatin.
Gummies get their flavor from fresh fruit, jam, juice, wine or jello. It's apple season now, so I'm making gummies with apple juice. A medium sized watermelon makes enough juice for a batch of gummies, and mango is always a popular choice because the terpenes in mango boost the effectiveness of marijuana. If you don't own a juicer, use a blender and a fine mesh strainer to turn fruit into juice. Or just buy juice. I've used fruit punch, lemonade and even iced tea for delicious gummy candy.
*A note about wine. Marijuana infused wine gummies are delicious and fun, but remember that combining cannabis and alcohol is not a good idea. A couple of wine gummies are fine, but do not drink a glass of wine with your cannabis medicine. You can substitute red or white wine in the juice gummy recipe. Skip the honey and citric acid.
Gummies are made from a liquid that needs to cool and set. We want to make sure we have the same amount of marijuana in each piece, so molds are the best way to make each piece the same size, weight and dose. It is possible to make gummies without molds, though. Use an 8x8 inch baking pan or glass dish as your setting mold. When the gummy candy has set, flip over the dish and plop the slab onto the counter. Use a pizza cutter to cut the gummy slab into evenly-sized pieces. Toss each piece in a dish of sugar to coat.
But if you can get molds, get them. The process is so much easier, and the final result is much better. Think about how big you want each when you shop for molds. Gummies can be made in any mold - chocolate, silicone or hard candy. They look best and store longer when they are made into smaller pieces.
Marijuana leaf molds make it easy for people to know that your homemade treats are medicated.
To make sour gummies, use citric acid. Up to a teaspoon of citric acid will nicely pucker your candies.
After the gummy has set up, it needs to sweat before your put them away. Freshly made gummies release extra moisture, so after you've cut them, leave them out overnight to sweat before sealing them into an airtight container for storage.
Combine one envelope (1/4 oz) of unflavored gelatin, one box (3 oz) of flavored gelatin (Jello) and 1/3 cup cold water in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes to bloom the gelatin. Microwave on high heat for 30 seconds, stir and do another 30 seconds. Stir well. Add melted marijuana concentrate and stir really well until concentrate is fully dissolved. Pour mixture into molds, let cool. Makes around 25 small gummies.
These are beginner level gummies and pretty foolproof. When they're set and dry, roll them through a dish of sugar for extra sweetness.
Concentrate: decarboxylate at 250 degrees for 30 minutes.
Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or lightly spray molds with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine one cup apple juice and gelatin and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Do not stir.
In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups apple juice to a boil over medium heat.
Add marijuana concentrate. Stir continuously over a medium low heat until fully blended. Remove from heat and pour into a pyrex jar. Add the gelatin mixture and stir well.
Pour mixture into molds or baking dish and let cool for several hours.
When set, remove from baking dish and cut into 16 or 32 pieces. Leave gummies out overnight to dry, then store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for several weeks.
For the most accurate dosing, make a practice batch first so you know how many pieces your molds and recipe will make. Then, add enough concentrate to get the right number of milligrams per piece.
If you use 1 gram of cannabis concentrate like shatter, wax or live resin, and you cut the gummies into 32 pieces, each pieces will have 20-25 mg each.
For 40-50 mg gummies, use one gram of concentrate and cut the batch into 16 pieces.
If you have any questions about making marijuana gummies, leave them in the comments.


The Bob Marley Commemorative Les Paul Special from Epiphone captures the essence of the pioneer reggae artist and his music. The new limited edition guitar features an image of Marley's face on the body of the guitar, plus fingerboard inlays in the colors of the Jamaican flag and "One Love" on the headstock. It is built on the same solidbody design as Marley's personal Gibson Les Paul Special.
"The Epi Bob Marley Les Paul Special enhances the original Marley guitar with the image, the colors and the words of Bob Marley," said Jim "Epi" Rosenberg, president of Epiphone. "It's a tribute to one of the world's most important and influential artists."
Features of the new model include a solid mahogany body with Worn Brown finish, a pair of Alnico-V pickups, one-piece mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, Grover tuners and chrome-plated hardware. It comes with a "Hemp" gigbag and Certificate of Authenticity.
Marley passed away May 11, 1981. The album Legend, by Bob Marley and the Wailers, has been on Billboard's Top Pop Catalog chart for 718 weeks and is currently No. 1, having been certified for 10 million copies sold. His original, early-'70s Les Paul Special guitar is on display at the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, Jamaica.
