Tiger Woods stalls on moving day at the Players
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- As the world continues to monitor Tiger Woods' widely talked about "process," perhaps this is one tournament to omit from the discussion. The 14-time major champion certainly hasn't played great at TPC Sawgrass this week, but then again, that's not saying much.
Since his lone win at the Players in 2001, Woods has just one top-10 finish in the event, a solo eighth in 2009. Barring something spectacular on Sunday, he won't add to that total after a Saturday 72 kept him in the middle of the pack of those playing the weekend.
But as he points out, he's not alone in not being able to master TPC Sawgrass. In fact, 19 different winners have won here the past 19 years, making it tough to use a litmus test for how anyone is playing.
"I think if you look at it as a whole, everyone who has played here, they have never been really consistent here," he said. "I mean, everyone, going from the time Jerry Pate won, no one has really contended here or been in contention 70, 80 percent of the time. Like some golf courses you get certain guys playing well there no matter what."

How much of a struggle has it been for Woods at TPC Sawgrass? His Friday 68 was just the fourth time he's broken 70 at the Pete Dye course in his last 23 attempts. But as he has all week -- and all year for that matter -- Woods stayed upbeat about what he's been working on with swing coach Sean Foley.
"It's feeling a lot more comfortable out there," he said. "I'm hitting the shots, I'm shaping the ball again, and it's just trying to get the timing of the wind out there right now."
Woods' third round was relatively uneventful. With bogeys on No. 7 and No. 10, he fell back to even par before getting his first birdie on No. 11. He added a birdie at the difficult 13 and then parred in, barely missing birdie attempts on the final three holes.
"I played well today and didn't get anything out of that round," Woods said. "It was probably the most solid I've hit the golf ball all year actually."
That comment seemed to raise a few eyebrows, but a 72 under very breezy conditions and with a high number of difficult hole locations certainly isn't reason to panic.
"It was a great test," he said.
Woods' next test will be completing this event for the first time in three years. After that, he'll probably play next at the Memorial, a place where he's won four times. There, we should get a better feel about the status of his game, which has swayed from ordinary to start the year, to spectacular at his win in Bay Hill, to shaky at his last two starts.
Actually, about the only thing that has really been learned about Woods this week is that he's gone back to metal spikes in his shoes -- a change he made last week at Quail Hollow -- since his knee is "finally healthy enough." Then again, we've heard that one before too.

Did China Use Microwave Weapons Against Indian Soldiers?
November 21, 2020 Topic: Security Region: Asia Blog Brand: The Buzz Tags: ChinaSoldiersMilitaryWeaponsMicrowave
What be the strategic benefit?
by Peter Suciu
In what sounds like a story out of science fiction, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) reportedly employed a powerful "microwave" earlier this month, and it wasn't to heat up dinner for soldiers stationed in the Himalayas near the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Instead, it may have been used against Indian troops.
While essentially non-lethal, the microwaves were aimed at the Indian Army to make them violently ill and force their retreat. Within fifteen minutes of the deployment of microwaves the Indian troops began to flee, which reportedly allowed the Chinese forces to regain the ground.
The Asian Times quoted international studies expert Jin Canrong, who said Chinese troops used the electromagnetic weapon and it "turned the mountain tops into a microwave oven," which caused the Indian soldiers to vomit. The paper reported that the "weapon" can heat water molecules in much the same way as a kitchen appliance, and it targets the water under the skin.
This could cause intense pain to those up to or even more than a half a mile away. Such an electromagnetic assault wasn't intended to do lasting harm, but there have been concerns that it could damage a victim's eyes and result in a potential carcinogenic impact. Jin suggested that the weapon was executed "beautifully" and was able to clear out the Indian soldiers without violating a ban on gunfire along the disputed border.
According to The Times of London, microwave weapons had been deployed in late August, in response to the deadly brawl between Chinese and Indian troops, which involved rocks and clubs and left some twenty Indian soldiers including a colonel dead. If the reports are true, this could mark the first use of such a weapon against enemy troops anywhere in the world.
However, the Indian Army has rejected the claims that microwaves were employed as "baseless and fake," and disputed that China employed the technology near the LAC.
"Media articles on employment of microwave weapons in Eastern Ladakh are baseless. The news is FAKE," the Indian Army said in a tweet, as reported by Indian Express.
History of Microwaves as a Weapon
The ability to use microwaves as a weapon has existed for decades. It is believed that the Soviet Union may have targeted microwaves against U.S. diplomats in the 1970s—and similar efforts were allegedly used against American diplomats in Cuba in 2016.
U.S. consulate staff in Guangzhou, China complained of a similar attack in 2017—which suggests that China may have the capability to employ such a system, even if it didn't use it against Indian soldiers.
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has also developed a microwave-style weapon, which is known as the Active Denial System.
It has been described as an advanced, long-range non-lethal, directed energy, counter-personnel platform that can project a man-sized beam of millimeter waves at a range of up to 1,000. The U.S. military may have deployed such a weapon to Afghanistan but likely withdrew it before using it against any targets. The DoD has also studied the ways that microwaves could be used against non-human threats, such as drones.
Peter Suciu is a Michigan-based writer who has contributed to more than four dozen magazines, newspapers and websites. He is the author of several books on military headgear including A Gallery of Military Headdress, which is available on Amazon.com.

Image of the Low-profile rectangular corrugated feeder antenna.
The low-profile corrugated feeder antenna is a linearly polarised, medium gain antenna which has been used in reflector feeds, as well as in integrated wireless networking applications. The antenna radiates through a sub-wavelength aperture in a conducting metallic plate while corrugations in the plate allow further shaping of the beam.
The thickness of the plate determines the resonant frequency while the width of (and distance between) the corrugations determines the angle of constructive interference.
Radiation pattern of the low-profile corrugated feeder showing medium broadside gain.
Increasing the number of corrugations increases the gain and flattens the beam in the E-plane, resulting in a sharp pattern roll-off. This effect is only achievable for a limited number of corrugations, where after additional corrugations have no effect.
The low-profile corrugated feeder antenna has a narrow impedance bandwidth.

Q: Why is the concurrence of a mixed state defined as $\max(0,\lambda_1-\lambda_2-\lambda_3-\lambda_4)$? Why is the the concurrence of a mixed state defined as $\mathrm{max}(0, \lambda_1- \lambda_2-\lambda_3-\lambda_4)$?
I don't understand its concept. Apparently, it defines the measurement of entanglement. According to Wootter's paper it has something to do with the quantum entropy. I also don't quite get the concept of entropy in quantum physics.

Apex Legends: Respawn CEO Talks About How Apex Is Different From Fortnite
Apex Legends eSports
by Shehryar Raza
Everyone was left surprised back in February 2019 when Respawn Entertainment released Apex Legends without any prior announcement. The developers wanted players to try out the game for themselves instead of just relying on advertisements. The launch was a success as Apex was downloaded by more than 50 million players within its first month. Although its player count started to decrease after a few months of its release, the developers still improved their game. This helped them with increasing the player count again.
Right after the game was released, every one was thinking that Apex is going to become the biggest battle royale game in the world. Many even thought that the game will soon cross Epic Game's Fortnite, but that is yet to happen. And now, Respawn's CEO Vice Zampella, who was recently promoted to the CEO of DICE, has revealed how their game is different from Fortnite.
A Social Hub
Epic Games has always tried their best to introduce exciting content to the game. In the past few months, players have enjoyed a variety of different in-game events such as Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker, and they will get to see more this year. All these events events focus on bringing more creators and fans to the game. And the main focus is to let them interact on a social platform. However, while Fortnite is aiming towards becoming a social hub for players, Respawn has some other plans.
Vince Zampella Talks About Apex's Main Focus
Recently, during his recent interview with LA Times on January 2, Vince Zampella talked about how they have never challenged their rival Fortnite's plans. He claimed that they never tried to touch its grand plan to become a social hub, but instead kept their focus on character development. Respawn has been trying to find better ways to develop characters while making sure mechanics and art coalesce into visual storytelling opportunities.
Zampella also talked about how characters are developed. He claimed that they rapidly prototype characters a high rate, but trow them away when they are not working. The CEO also added that they make 10 times more prototypes then what actually gets added to the game. However, character development is still very important to them because they want players to identify characters either by play style or because of what they fight for.
Concept of Legends
Apex is the first battle royale title to feature Legends. For those who don't know, Legends are basically in-game characters. Each Legend has three special abilities. However, there is an emotional back story attached with each character. And Respawn is slowly letting players know about them through various methods. For instance, they have been hosting various in-game events for some characters and they will continue to do so. In addition to this, Respawn has also started a mini animated series on YouTube. Through this, they tell stories in an astonishing way.

This joint report with the NSPCC argues for the greater use of evidence to support the professional judgement of social workers working with children.
The sad reality is that abuse and neglect of children is not in decline. Much has been written about the need to rethink services and ensure that limited resources achieve the best possible outcomes for our most vulnerable children and families.
This paper outlines some ways forward to improve evidence use in child protection. In contrast to other sectors, the evidence base for what works in social care is underdeveloped and there has been a perceived tension between using evidence to inform practice and professional judgement. A fear of 'de-skilling' staff and becoming over-reliant on 'tick box', static, standardised models.
This tension is misplaced and outdated, professional judgement and evidence can – and should - be mutually supportive. This paper argues for a move toward 'Structured Professional Judgement', in which professional decision-making is supported by research-based standardised tools. Proposing measures including the adoption of structures to think about what evidence will be useful and changes to working and staffing practices that will allow social workers to increase their engagement with, and ownership of, evidence.

10 Weird Facts About Rain
Beth Dreher
Meghan Jones
Where it rains sulfuric acid, why some rain never hits the ground, and more facts you never knew about the wet stuff that falls from the sky.
The least rainy place on earth isn't in the desert
iStock/standret
It may be covered with ice, but Antarctica gets only 6.5 inches of rain or snow per year, making it the continent with the lowest annual rainfall by far. On the other end of the spectrum, Lloro, Colombia, absorbs more than 500 inches of rainfall per year. North America is relatively dry by comparison, collecting 256 inches of rain annually. Find out some old wives' tales about weather that just aren't true.
Rain doesn't always make the ground wet
iStock/Iri_sha
In dry, hot places, rain sometimes evaporates before it hits the ground. Environmentalist Edward Abbey describes "phantom rain" this way: "You see curtains of rain dangling in the sky while the living things wither below for want of water. Torture by tantalizing, hope without fulfillment. Then the clouds dissipate into nothingness."
Not all raindrops are made of water

On Venus, and other moons and planets, rain is made of sulfuric acid or methane. Even stranger: On a planet 5,000 light years away, scientists found raindrops made of iron rather than water. For more watery wisdom, check out these facts you never knew about Earth's oceans.
There's a scientifically proven way to get less wet in the rain
iStock/jodiejohnson
Run! As Henry Reich, the brains behind the YouTube Channel MinutePhysics, explains, the faster you get out of the rain, the drier you'll be, regardless of the additional raindrops you run into.
The shape and color of clouds can help you predict rain
iStock/Marc Andre LeTourneux
Generally speaking, if you see a cumulonimbus cloud (a tall, puffy cloud that looks flat at the top), or a nimbostratus cloud (a flat low-level gray cloud), you can be fairly certain that rain is in the 24-hour forecast. Find out more ways to predict the weather just by looking at the clouds.
There's a reason you love the smell of rain
HQuality/Shutterstock
Water doesn't smell like anything, so why does rain produce a pleasant aroma after it falls? Well, it's because of a molecule, called geosmin, created by soil-dwelling bacteria. When rain falls, it creates air pockets, which contain small amounts of geosmin. The rain traps and then releases these air pockets, dispersing geosmin into the air, where it's free to travel to human sniffers. The smell of rain even has a name: "Petrichor." Learn some surprising facts you never knew about lightning, too.
It's not actually "drop"-shaped
Yevhenii Strebkov/Shutterstock
The "raindrop" designation is actually a misnomer, since scientists have concluded that rain is not actually shaped like a teardrop. When water molecules condense and bind together in the atmosphere before falling, they form a more-or-less spherical shape. As they fall, they encounter air pressure, flattening the bottom of the drops, so that they end up taking on a shape more like a hamburger bun.
The United States record for 24-hour rainfall was just broken
Joe West/Shutterstock
In a single day in July 1979, Tropical Storm Claudette dropped a whopping 43 inches of rain on a small Texas town called Alvin. Alvin, which is just south of Houston, held the record for the most rainfall in the United States in 24 hours—until 2018. In April of that year, a rain gauge in the Hawaiian town of Hanalei recorded 49.69 inches of rainfall in one day. Learn about some more unbelievable weather phenomena you never knew happened in America.
Rain is money
Anton_Ivanov/Shutterstock
In the African nation of Botswana, the currency is the Botswanan pula. The word "pula," though, also means "rain," and its use as the name of the primary currency demonstrates just how rare and precious rain is in this sub-Saharan country.
It's been raining a long time
mykhailo pavlenko/Shutterstock
Scientists have discovered fossils containing indentations of raindrops dating back as far as 2.7 billion years ago. According to Scientific American, the early liquid rain fell on layers of ash from volcanic eruptions, and then more ash fell on top, preserving the miniature craters from the raindrops. Interestingly, it was erosion created by more rain that exposed the rain fossils for modern study. Next, learn some fascinating facts you never knew about thunderstorms.

Today begins my 3 day juice cleanse aka my "spring cleaning." I haven't been feeling very well lately and was battling a sinus infection, acid reflux, and major GI issues. I went on antibiotics last week and I'm starting to feel much better. Now I am doing a 3 day juice cleanse to essentially "clean me out" so I can heal my digestive tract and start fresh. I know juice cleanses are very popular right now with new juiceries and cleanse programs popping up all over the place. There is a new pilates studio and juicery called Formula that just opened in Manhattan Beach and I've decided to try them out for my cleanse this time around I am planning to post daily updates on how it goes so keep checking back!
Update: Since my juice cleanse is over I decided to include links to my recaps so you can check them out. Read and enjoy!
This is an instant download PDF e-book.
I have also decided that I am going to begin a 21 Day Sugar Detox after my 3 day juice cleanse is complete. The 21 Day Sugar Detox is a program that was written by Diane SanFilippo of BalancedBites.com. She also wrote a book called Practical Paleo that is one of my favorite books on the paleo diet. She has an e-book out called the 21 Day Sugar Detox which helps to detox and fight cravings. I purchased the 21 Day Sugar Detox e-book several weeks ago and it's chalk full of great information, recipes, and charts. I heard Diane SanFilippo is also turning the 21 Day Sugar Detox e-book into a published book this Fall. Pretty awesome.
I've decided that my 21 Day Sugar Detox is going to begin on Monday May 20th. I am inviting all Fit & Awesome friends and readers to participate and join me.
1) Download the 21 Day Sugar Detox guidebook. It's a 90 page PDF e-book with 3 different custom plans based on your needs and goals. It's also got recipes and food ideas. I will be posting recipes on Fit & Awesome when I find good ones as well. If you already know what to eat then you probably don't need the guidebook but I think it's got a lot of good information.
2) Email / Tweet Me / Facebook me and let me know you plan on participating. Or just post in the comments below and let me know. I am going to be posting special updates to those who participate with me so let me know if you want in on this.
Get excited. This is going to be awesome.
Juice Cleanse Day One Recap coming tomorrow!


Mothering Sunday: This Sunday the service of Holy Communion will start at 9am. It will be followed at 10am by a special Mothering Sunday Family Morning and Parade Service when the children will have the opportunity to present their mothers with posies of flowers. Refreshments will be served afterwards and all are welcome to this and all the services.
Spring Fayre: Catsfield Pre-School will be holding their annual Spring Fayre in the Village Hall on Friday 5th April from 2.30pm (not 2pm as in last week's column). They need plenty of village folk to join them for tea, coffee and some yummy home-baked cake. They appreciate that there is a lot of fund-raising going on in the village at the moment, but this event is their biggest boost of the year and they rely on this cash to help keep the little Pre-School ticking over, especially at the moment, so please do give them your support.
Help please! Pre-School lent their tables to a recent major village jumble sale and one of their red foldable tables worth £150 has gone walk-about. Has anyone found it somewhere please?
Catsfield Horticultural Society: The Spring Show will be held on Saturday 13th April from 2pm – 4pm in the Village Hall and schedules are available now. There will be the usual array of horticultural, decorative, cookery, handicraft, photographic and children's classes all waiting for you to enter, so pick up a schedule and get planning!
There will be a plant stall, raffle, cake stall and of course, refreshments will be available throughout the afternoon. Entrance for adults will be 50p and Free for children.
Spring Concert: A date for your diary and advance notice of another Spring Concert coming up on Friday 3rd May at 7.30pm at St Laurence Church. For those of you who have never attended one of these concerts, I can tell you that they are always a first-class evening's entertainment. There is a wide variety of music from the St Laurence Church Choir and appearances by local guest artists plus the bonus of an excellent buffet supper - and all for the cost of a £7.50 ticket available from the Village Shop or at the door. This is to raise much needed funds for the Village Church.
Sport and more…: No football this week, but the groundsman has been organising work on the cricket wicket, mostly getting rid of the leaves which have attached themselves to the anti-rabbit netting. So far, his wife has escaped being rounded-up to help, but it can only be a matter of time before she is seconded to push barrows of muck to the bracken.
The groundsman is a season-ticket holder for the London Philharmonic Orchestra concerts at the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne and it was a great joy to attend Sunday's opening concert at the newly refurbished venue. There was a festival air with excited patrons, lots of staff, the Eastbourne MP and other dignitaries anxious to see what has been done. It hasn't all been finished but the auditorium, welcome centre and other facilities are greatly enhanced. Improvements to the sound, lighting, air conditioning and seating prompted the groundsman to succumb to pressure and actually buy an interval ice cream (he managed to only mention the price once). A splendid programme commencing with the National Anthem followed by Glinka, Elgar's cello concerto and the thrilling Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony was a fitting opening session. I understand VV's Jill and Tony Woods were also there, no doubt using their press pass! At a reception afterwards the groundsman met conductor Darrell Ang and was seen in animated conversation with him. If he was talking about the pitch, it would have been in a musical vein, but he was interested to hear the conductor spends most of his life travelling the world, while his solitary wife is in Singapore. The groundsman returned with a thoughtful expression "an ideal marriage" he was heard to mutter before a very silent ride home.

Beauty Social promotions have overshadowed this spectacular deal and I am shedding light on a serious matter.
BDJ has released the third Elite Box for 2013 and it contains 16 pieces of full-size makeup from Colour Collection (of Tupperware Brands.) The package arrives to you housed in an acrylic cosmetics case, all for just Php 1880 or around USD 45.
That is around Php 120 per piece of makeup. This looks like a professional's set. UGH! No words can express the joy I feel inside. Have you ever been so happy that you actually got angry? That's what I'm feeling right now! I'm so happy I could probably punch a hole through a narra door. TRUTH!
Colour Collection Age Defying BB Cream, Php 699 / 40ml.
I'm most excited about this BB cream just because I feel like it'll perform really well. I haven't actually read upabout this BB cream (is it too new?) but I have a hunch it'll do great. It's an unfounded hunch, I know, but I really have a good feeling about this one.
Plus, y'all know I can't resist anti-aging stuff!
Colour Collection Whitening BB Cream, Php 599 / 40ml.
I already got a sample of this from the regular September BDJ Box but I'm keeping it high up on the list. As I said, I have a good feeling about Colour base products.
Below is a photo of the BB cream when pumped and thickly layered. You can see that the Age-Defying variant is a little bit rosier in tone. It's way more watery than the Whitening variant, which is able to keep to its shape better.
Skin Swatch: Colour Collection Age-Defying and Whitening BB Creams. No Flash.
I think it makes sense for the Age-Defying variant to be more watery. No tugging = less prone to wrinkles. Plus, the hydration sealed in with the makeup can help prevent dryness and premature wrinkles.
I kind of like how the formula seeps into the lines of my skin. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad, though. I just like that I don't have to apply a thick layer to even out the coverage. I can apply this BB cream in such a way as it still feels like second skin.
Below is a picture of the BB creams when fully blended.
Skin Swatch: Colour Collection Age-Defying and Whitening BB Creams. Flash.
Neither match my skin tone. Age-Defying is a little red on me while Whitening is too yellow-y/tan. Nonetheless, it applies pretty evenly and feels so lightweight that I'm still pretty amped up about it.
Colour Collection Vitamin E Lipstick (All Satin Finish,) Php 330 / 5g.
I've gotten a sample of Red Wine from Sample Room but I did want to try more shades! I find it kind of redundant to offer two closely-related reds and pinks, but I guess this will have to do.
Skin Swatch: Colour Collection Vitamin E Lipstick (Regal Red, Red Wine, Kissmark and Cerise). No Flash.
From my limited, previous experience with the Red Wine sample, I found these to apply excellently, almost like butter. It's opaque in one swipe and you can see that I tried to layer a second coat for the lower half of the swatches, but it doesn't seem to change much in appearance.
I liked how easy it was to get pigmentation out of it. It's not really layerable and you can see how there's not much difference between one and two coats, but it's nice that one coat already makes so much color come out. Application is a teensy bit streaky so I still like to put two layers instead of one.
I have an issue with the ultra-lightweight packaging. It seems so fragile and the wax bullets are always loosely-aligned to the base. They end up off-center and extremely wobbly. Any small tug makes me paranoid that the bullet will flick off.
Another minor defect note: I feel like my Red Wine sample wasn't cut well, it looks like it was used. Check the imperfect surface.
I like all the shades despite them being similar. Regal Red is a very basic cherry red, while Red Wine is a little warmer, and looks almost like brick. Kissmark is nice for a little kick of brightness to the lips. It's a very safe, wearable pink-coral though my favorite would have to be the bright Cerise. It's the first hot pink that I'm drawn to. It doesn't look like it'll ash me out.
Skin Swatch: Colour Collection Vitamin E Lipstick (Regal Red, Red Wine, Kissmark and Cerise). Flash.
Colour Collection Ultimate Wear Lipstick Php 350 / 2.4g.
Next up is the Ultimate Wear Lipstick. I thought these were glosses so I was a little less excited about them. I'm definitely happier ever since I figured out they were lipsticks.
These were sooo draggy and waxy. It kind of felt like I would almost break the bullet off the flimsy packaging.
I'm just willing to forgive them since the colors look so nice and wearable. Again, I tried to layer them but there's not much difference on the the first and second swipe.
Plum Promise looks more like a neutral to me. I don't feel like there's enough purple in it but I do see it still within the plum family. It just looks like it leans a little more towards red.
Hot Summer looked so bright on the bullet, but kind of underwhelms and washes out on the skin. I still need to wear it to find out if it's workable. Kiss & Tell looks like a nice copy of Cerise, and I like the subtle specks of blue / violet shine. Love Me is probably the easiest everyday shade. It looks very natural against my skin tone.
Colour Collection Colour Intense Eye Shadow Trios, Php 380 / 5g.
These are so KYOT and I'm loving the color combinations! There's not much variety in terms of depth of color. All the shades look like they have the same level of pigmentation and there's not really one toned down shade for a lid wash, nor is there a deeper crease shade. Still, I like the combination of colors and I think I can still work with this.
Gypsy Rose looks like a shimmery, party palette. I find the colors too bold and garish for an everyday look, but they seem like a fabulous "special events" alternative. I also found this palette to have the creamiest, butteriest texture among the three. It's the most densely pigmented selection.
It's only downfall might be that the finishes are too similar and are quite limiting in terms of shading.
My favorite palette would have to be Terra Cotta. I like the earthy combination of colors and the more subdued satin finish (as opposed to Gypsy Rose's shimmery.) I like the idea of matching a grey olive (3rd shade) to tan and bronze but again, I wish the darkest color was a little more matte and powerful than the rest.
I'm equally drawn to Ivy Blooms (Sorry, Gypsy Rose!) In terms of color combination, this palette is more interesting than the usual browns found in Terra Cotta. I like that it has two matte shades (yellow and brown). They yellow can be a beautiful, subtle wash on the lids, while a bit of the shimmery green peeks out from the dark brown shade. The only downside is that the yellow and brown shades were quite tougher to pick up and apply compared to the rest of the shimmer-ier shades.
Colour Collection Colour Intense Powder, Php 299 / 7g.
This blush actually looks duller in real life, with a hint of watered down lilac. My camera is kind of going crazy again.
Not much to say about this blush. I mean, it's a nice adventurous color, perfect for when I want to achieve a doll-like complexion. I just don't reach out for plum/purple/lilac too often.
Colour Collection Blush-On Duo, Php 370 / 7g.
I'm not too fond of the peachy coral highlighter as I think it's too warm for highlighting on me. The contour shade looks nice enough, though I really am such a dunce with contouring so I really can't judge it properly.
I swatched the blushes together and I LOVE how diffused they apply. I packed the powder pretty heavily for an intense skin swatch but it took a while to get there. I'm still not sure about the highlighter shade (it could be better off as a blush) but I like the unique shade of Rosy Affair and the diffused application of Desert Rose's contour shade.
Colour Collection Lip Therapy, Php 330 / 4g.
As a child, colorless wax lipsticks were the worst! They often smelled NASTY and were the least exciting item in mommy's makeup drawer. Still, it might be useful and I'm going to have to see how it fares as a lip base before completely disregarding it.
Seriously?! I love the amount and variety of colors I got for the fee I paid. This box is like a professional's kit with all the choices and items. Plus, I love the acrylic case!
Box Value: Php 6170 for Php 1880 fee. BUY NOW!

Sarah Batool Haider
Australian fashion model Natalie Roser has proven time and again that she puts in a lot of effort in maintaining her insane bikini body. The stunner took to her Instagram account on Sunday, February 10, and treated her 1 million followers to a new video where she is featured wearing a barely-there gray swimsuit that left little to the imagination of the viewers.
The video was shot against the breathtaking backdrop of a Japanese hot spring situated amid snowy mountains, and the model is seen featured stepping out of the water to stand on an icy platform. The video was filmed from behind and Natalie's face couldn't be seen, but fans and followers were provided with a generous view of the model's pert derriere and extremely well-toned legs. She let her blonde tresses down and accessorized with just a ring.
Within hours of going live, as of the writing of this article, the video was viewed almost 90,000 times and garnered more than 200 comments, where fans praised the 28-year-old model for her sexiness. One fan commented that the video made his day, while a female follower wrote that she wishes to have a body like Natalie one day. Another fan expressed his admiration for the Newcastle native and said that he's in love with Natalie's booty.

Those who don't follow Natalie regularly will be surprised to find out that the model identifies as a big foodie and in several previous interviews, she has revealed her love for good food. According to an article by Grazia, the model not only loves food herself, but also cooks delicious meals for her boyfriend. But when asked about her regular meals that she consumes to maintain her amazingly-sexy body, the model revealed that as far as her breakfasts are concerned, she likes to go for smoothies and likes to add almond milk, frozen blueberries, banana, protein powder, chia seeds, and cacao to stay full.
As for her lunch, she considers it her "second breakfast" and she usually opts for eggs with some carbs and leafy greens. However, when she is at home, he likes to cook up some brown rice with spinach, tomatoes, and a dash of soy sauce. And as for her dinner, the model likes to enjoy pastas made from chick peas, which she mixes up with a tomato base with heaps of veggies or a coconut cream sauce.

The original project was intended to construct one hand washing station, but with an added donation from Peerwater and some funds from APS a second hand washing station was constructed at a location in the lower part of the school.
Elude Perez is a public health teacher that works for Health International (a US funded not for profit organization). Elude visits the school in Janlay village about once a month. Today, he is teaching a class of first grade students the importance of washing hands with soap. Together, the students scrub their hands with soap for 20 seconds before rinsing at the school "lavamano" (hand-washing station).
Agua para la Salud (an internationally funded not-for-profit organization) recently installed two lavamanos at the school. Before the lavamanos were installed, the students had only four sinks for over 150 students. Group sanitation lessons on hand washing were not possible because there were not enough faucets. Now, the students wash their hands as a group several times each day: before school starts, before snack, and after snack. The lavamanos have given the Janlay teachers the facilities they need to teach healthy hygiene habits.
Project complete, see final reports attached.
The government is donating for the first time Q50 ($6.00) for each child attending school for the running of the school. The parents also contribute to the care of the school through the parents committee. Between the teachers and the committee the needs of the school are met.
Extra labor was negotiated with the village to build the second lavamano.
The community consists of 80 households with a total of approximately 500 inhabitants. The project will be executed on the premises of the local school. In which 8 teachers educate 217 children.
Providing a closed tank for water supply provides the children with safe water.
The main focus of the project was supplying hand washing facilities which impacts the sanitation of the school in a positive manner.


Since 2005, CFED has promoted manufactured homes as a viable housing opportunity, particularly for low- and- and moderate-income families. We have focused on making manufactured housing part of the housing mainstream through research, policy development and finance reform. The strategy is quite clear: only through the control of land, good financing and high-quality homes can owners of manufactured homes benefit from the asset-building and appreciation potential of homeownership.
We know that new manufactured homes cost half of what site-built homes cost (absent land). We also know that manufactured home mortgages can perform as well as other mortgages, especially if done responsibly. But for a homeowner to get these benefits, he or she has to be able to find a home for their home. That is, their jurisdiction can't be one of the 40 percent or so that restrict manufactured homes to special zones or to "parks." It also is too burdensome to live in one of the 20 percent of communities that requires a special permit to site a manufactured home in a typical single-family zone. Clearly, if communities are serious about affordable housing, they need to add manufactured homes to their toolkit.
Many of these restrictions have roots in the low quality that was far too prevalent prior to the enactment of the so-called HUD code in 1976. This code, many readers know, standardized quality and drove the industry to innovation and better products. What also followed has been better design, so much so that many models of today's manufactured homes are indistinguishable from site-built homes built in suburban subdivisions or as urban infill.
So what should advocates and policymakers do? To be blunt, the most effective way is to advocate for state statutory changes. Specifically, states need to do what Washington did in 2004 and what California did decades earlier: prevent localities from prohibiting manufactured housing in single-family neighborhoods.
This not a new issue; since California first began to address the discrimination against these homes in 1980, various housing experts have opined against the unfair treatment. Yet many of these criticisms had less poignancy then than they do now. Before 1980, most housing programs were reasonably well funded, and believe it or not, Members of Congress from both parties recognized the value of providing housing assistance in various ways to families priced out of the market.
It may be heresy to remind some, but the last truly meaningful housing program launched, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, was adopted by a Republican Senate and signed into law by President Reagan. (We don't need to debate the credit's significance in the huge Tax Reform Act of 1986, but LIHTC was adopted in a bipartisan way.) While LIHTC did not make up for the huge cuts to Public Housing and other programs, it at least indicated that housing programs were at one time doable.
Knowing all this, which policymakers and housing advocates do, it is a no-brainer to use a housing type that can blend in with existing stock and cost half as much as other options. But too many localities, as noted above, block its use. Just in recent weeks, Pratt, Kansas, banned manufactured housing in certain zones and homeowners in Lewes, Delaware, face a local law that prevents them from updating or replacing their manufactured homes. Pratt city leaders did this even as local news reports that traditional construction costs and market conditions worsen the local affordable housing shortage.
This bill could be a huge help as cities look to do infill, suburbs explore low-cost and mixed income subdivisions, and rural advocates discover that manufactured homes are not trailers and certainly not mobile. We hope the state assembly moves beyond the self-interested opposition to pass this legislation.
I'M HOME has great partners in New York and there is a great need for new thinking on affordable housing. While treating manufactured homes like site-built homes won't solve the affordable housing crisis, failing to do so demonstrates, quite simply, a lack of seriousness on the issue.

Tim Winton named patron of new animal trust
Posted by Secretary | March 19th, 2017
Acclaimed Australian author Tim Winton has been named the inaugural patron of a new native animals trust that hopes to connect the public with conservation research and projects.
The Native Australian Animals Trust is an initiative of Melbourne University, which chose Winton because of his long-running advocacy for wildlife conservation.
"We are busy acting on the natural environment, and we often act before we actually know what is out there," Winton told ABC News Breakfast.
"There is so much that we don't know.
"I have had enormous inspiration and sustenance from the natural world and to be able to return the favour is a privilege."
The idea of asking Winton to be patron came about after Melbourne University marine biologist Tim Dempster was inspired to name a newly discovered fish after the author while on a trip in the Kimberly region.
It was the start of a friendship that has now led to the creation of the new trust.
"While we were driving through the Kimberley, one of the most remote areas in Australia, we listened to Winton's The Turning on audiobook,' Associate Professor Dempster said.
"It seemed fitting to give one of the new species the scientific name of Hannia wintoni — or Winton's grunter."
Many of Winton's novels have revolved around the natural world, particularly the ocean, and contain conservation themes.
His 1984 novel Shallows looks at the whaling industry, and his 1997 book Blueback details a young boy's fight to save a fish he befriends.
Winton said he felt a compulsion to give back to the environment.
"I feel responsible, as a citizen," he said.
"I mean, I am quite happy to be in the business of useless beauty as an artist, that is my day job, but I am also a citizen."
The trust has created a new website that lists a number of projects and research areas it will focus on, and invites the public to learn more and donate to the work.
"Yes, we have funding to work on native Australian animals [but] it comes in fits and starts, we don't get a sustained focus," Associate Professor Dempster said.
"We are trying to create a trust that will allow us to work on animals and systems and ecosystems for literally decades at a time."
The first major initiative of the trust will be to establish a new award for conservation research into northern Australian animals.
Its initial research has found small and medium-sized mammals in northern Australia are in decline, and the trust fears other fish, animals and birds may suffer as well.

Figure 6-1. CSS Specificity rules, in order.
It's best to keep styles in their own separate stylesheet files, and to use selection-based cascading to implement consistent and reusable styles within the application. Placing style rules within HTML should be avoided, and applying styles to specific individual elements (rather than whole classes of elements, or elements that have had a particular CSS class applied to them) should be the exception, not the rule.
CSS stylesheets lack support for conditional logic, variables, and other programming language features. Thus, large stylesheets often include a lot of repetition, as the same color, font, or other setting is applied to many different variations of HTML elements and CSS classes. CSS preprocessors can help your stylesheets follow the DRY principle by adding support for variables and logic.
Selecting an HTML element and retrieving and/or updating its value.
Querying a Web API for data.
Sending a command to a Web API (and responding to a callback with its result).
For example, imagine that if a textbox's value exceeds 10, an element on the page should be made visible. In jQuery, this would typically be implemented by writing an event handler with code that would inspect the textbox's value and set the visibility of the target element based on that value. This is an imperative, code-based approach. Another framework might instead use databinding to bind the visibility of the element to the value of the textbox declaratively. This would not require writing any code, but instead only requires decorating the elements involved with data binding attributes. As client side behaviors grow more complex, data binding approaches frequently result in simpler solutions with less code and conditional complexity.
Most of the features jQuery lacks intrinsically can be added with the addition of other libraries. However, a SPA framework like Angular provides these features in a more integrated fashion, since it's been designed with all of them in mind from the start. Also, jQuery is a very imperative library, meaning that you need to call jQuery functions in order to do anything with jQuery. Much of the work and functionality that SPA frameworks provide can be done declaratively, requiring no actual code to be written.
Data binding is a great example of this. In jQuery, it usually only takes one line of code to get the value of a DOM element, or to set an element's value. However, you have to write this code any time you need to change the value of the element, and sometimes this will occur in multiple functions on a page. Another common example is element visibility. In jQuery, there might be many different places where you would write code to control whether certain elements were visible. In each of these cases, when using data binding, no code would need to be written. You would simply bind the value or visibility of the element(s) in question to a viewmodel on the page, and changes to that viewmodel would automatically be reflected in the bound elements.
Components are defined using the @Component decorator function, which takes in metadata about the component. The selector property identifies the id of the element on the page where this component will be displayed. The template property is a simple HTML template that includes a placeholder that corresponds to the component's name property, defined on the last line.
Angular also makes great use of command line interface (CLI) tooling. Getting started with Angular development locally (assuming you already have git and npm installed) consists of simply cloning a repo from GitHub and running npm install and npm start. Beyond this, Angular ships its own CLI tool which can create projects, add files, and assist with testing, bundling, and deployment tasks. This CLI tooling friendliness makes Angular especially compatible with ASP.NET Core, which also features great CLI support.
Microsoft has developed a reference application, eShopOnContainers, which includes an Angular SPA implementation. This app includes Angular modules to manage the online store's shopping basket, load and display items from its catalog, and handling order creation. You can view and download the sample application from GitHub.
Unlike Angular, which offers a full Model-View-Controller pattern implementation, React is only concerned with views. It's not a framework, just a library, so to build a SPA you'll need to leverage additional libraries.
One of React's most important features is its use of a virtual DOM. The virtual DOM provides React with several advantages, including performance (the virtual DOM can optimize which parts of the actual DOM need to be updated) and testability (no need to have a browser to test React and its interactions with its virtual DOM).
Because React isn't a full framework, you'll typically want other libraries to handle things like routing, web API calls, and dependency management. The nice thing is, you can pick the best library for each of these, but the disadvantage is that you need to make all of these decisions and verify all of your chosen libraries work well together when you're done. If you want a good starting point, you can use a starter kit like React Slingshot, which prepackages a set of compatible libraries together with React.
Is your team familiar with the framework and its dependencies (including TypeScript in some cases)?
How opinionated is the framework, and do you agree with its default way of doing things?
Does it (or a companion library) include all of the features your app requires?
How active is its community? Are new projects building built with it?
How active is its core team? Are issues being resolved and new versions shipped regularly?

Jacob Bayley
Brigadier General Jacob Bayley, Commissary General, Northern Department
Jacob Bayley was born July 19, 1726 in Newbury, Massachusetts. He was the son of Joshua and Sarah (Coffin) Bayley. On October 16, 1745, he married Prudence Noyes, daughter of Ephraim and Prudence (Stickney) Noyes.
The family removed to Hampstead, New Hampshire. During the French and Indian War, he was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the New Hampshire Provisional Regiment, and spent the fall of 1755 scouting the area around Lake Champlain. He was promoted to Captain and raised a company that was among the defenders at the siege of Fort William Henry in August of 1757. When the British surrendered, the French promised that their Indian Allies would honor the agreement and not attack. However, the terms of capitulation were violated and the Native Americans attacked the British soldiers and their dependents as they withdrew, killing many soldiers and capturing women, children, servants and slaves. Captain Bayley was among those who managed to escape. The Provincial Assembly of New Hampshire awarded him £14, 11s, 6p for his losses during the retreat, which included his shoes.
Gradually, the war turned in favor of the British. Captain Bayley participated in General Amherst's capture of Fort Carillon and of Montreal in New France, which essentially ended the fighting in North America. By the end of the war, Bayley had been promoted Colonel
With the war over, in the fall of 1760 Bayley and three hometown friends and fellow officers – Captain John Hazen and Lieutenants Jacob Kent and Timothy Bedel – left Montreal to go home. On their travels, they found a location at the Oxbow, an extension of the Connecticut River, that they decided to make their new home. In the summer of 1761, Bayley, Hazen and some hired hands cleared the fields around the Oxbow. The first four permanent settlers arrived in February of 1762. On May 18, 1763, Benning Wentworth, colonial governor of the Province of New Hampshire, granted them charters for Newbury (named after the hometown of Bayley and the others) and Haverhill, on opposite sides of the Oxbow. A dispute over land titles, which found Bayley and Ethan Allen on opposing sides, exacerbated by religious and other differences, resulted in mutual animosity between the men.
On May 22, 1776, the Committees of the Counties of Cumberland and Gloucester, New York, nominated then Colonel Bayley for the position of Brigadier General of the state militia of those counties. The promotion was approved was approved by the New York Provincial Congress on August 1, 1776.
During the Revolutionary War, Brigadier General Bayley, corresponded with George Washington on numerous occasions (63 letters can be read in their entirety at Founders Online, an official website of the United States government administered by the National Archives and Records Administration), first regarding constructing the Bayley Hazen Military Road, then about the situation in Canada and a possible second invasion attempt.
Brigadier General Bayley and Colonel Moses Hazen built the Bayley Hazen Military Road, starting in 1776, to support a second invasion of Canada that never materialized. In the fall of 1777, Brigadier General Bayley was appointed Commissary General of the Northern Department of the Continental Army. He had maintained friendly relations with the St. Francis Indians since the French and Indian War. This aided in the Patriot cause since they provided him important intelligence on Burgoyne's army during the Saratoga Campaign. This enabled Brigadier General Bayley to keep Generals Schuyler and Gates informed about the size and movement of Burgoyne's force, which played a role in Continental Army's victory at the Battles of Saratoga.
In the early 1780s, the British were conducting the secret Haldimand Negotiations with the Vermont Republic. Because of Bayley's implacable opposition to negotiations with the British, an attempt was made to take him prisoner and take him to Canada, but it narrowly failed. Bayley's neighbor, Colonel Thomas Johnson, had earlier been captured by the British and released on parole, but he violated his parole in 1782 to forewarn Bayley. To make matters worse, Ethan Allen was one of the Haldimand negotiators, which further exacerbated his relationship with Bayley.
Brigadier General Bayley served to the close of the war. After the war, Brigadier General Bayley served as a Judge for a number of years and on the Vermont Governor's Council.

Prevalence of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and concurrent traumatic life events in a general medical population
C. L. Greenwood, Eric George Tangalos, T. Maruta
Primary Care Internal Medicine
A normative sample of 100 patients (59 women and 41 men) from the city of Rochester, Minnesota, and the surrounding rural area who came to the Mayo Clinic for a general medical examination were interviewed in a semistructured format by using a list of questions about childhood life events. Sexual abuse was reported by 16.9% of women and 0% of men, frequencies that are near the lower end of the spectrum of reported values from recent studies. Physical abuse was reported by 5% of the entire group. No association was observed between the two types of abuse. Physical abuse was associated with a significant degree of traumatic life events, but sexual abuse was not. Use of face-to-face interviewing, matched sex and ethnicity of the interviewer, and a high compliance rate substantially increase the probability that the female respondents in the current study were both representative and reliable.

Someone asked to make a list of lobbyists with the worst reputations on Capitol Hill probably wouldn't add "the catfish lobby" in a million years. In fact, "the catfish lobby" sounds much more like the entrance to an exhibit at your local Natural History museum. But lobbyists for the domestic catfish industry are some of the most nakedly anti-competition out there.
Now, you may ask why it matters. But the catfish industry is bigger than you may think. It's the largest aquaculture industry, meaning the cultivation of aquatic plants and animals for food, in the United States. The catfish industry is particularly important to Mississippi and Alabama, which together accounted for around 87 percent of all catfish sales in the United States in 2017.
Back in the 2008 Farm Bill, the catfish lobby pushed to transfer the inspection of imported catfish from the FDA, which inspects all other kinds of imported seafood, to the USDA. Sure, the switch would cost taxpayers $200 million over the next decade, but can you put a price on food safety?
Well, it turns out, you can. Particularly when that $200 million, according the Government Accountability Office (GAO), provides absolutely no benefit. The GAO found no justification for transferring catfish inspection to the USDA, noting that the FDA had been performing seafood inspection just fine up to that point, and even suggested that splintering seafood inspection services could have negative consequences for food safety.
For many, it makes more sense to just stop importing catfish at all. I spoke with Mike Mitchell, co-founder and CEO of Acari Fish, a seafood company that produces and distributes fish jerky and filet products.
Acari began as a way to turn a negative into a positive. The "devil fish," or armored catfish, is an invasive species of fish that had been plaguing the waters of the Mexican state of Tabasco, wrecking the local ecosystem. Mitchell sought to make a company out of fishing "el pez diablo" and selling products from it.
Companies like Mitchell's are not even the target of the catfish provision, which sought to curtail competition from Vietnamese catfish imports. "What's frustrating is that our fish doesn't look, feel, or taste anything like the fish being fought over nor does it serve the same market," says Mitchell. But the provision covers all 3,000 or so kinds of siluriformes, or catfish.
The President's budget for this year proposed ending this wasteful form of protectionism by returning catfish inspection to the FDA, saving taxpayers a little over $2.5 million next year, as had the previous Administration in its budgets. With the President behind the change, Congress has no excuse not to place catfish inspection back in the purview of the FDA.
With Congress buried in the Farm Bill process, now is the time to put this provision in the dustbin of history. It would be hard to justify the catfish provision on policy grounds, and Congress shouldn't try. Simply stop caving to the demands of an anti-competitive lobby, and make food safety regulation do what it's supposed to do — keep food safe, not out of the country.
