It's the 1940s, and we're Boston Terriers, living a wonderfully privileged life, visiting the Arizona Biltmore.
I must say that we're a dapper pair! I like that everyone calls us "American Gentlemen", and it's not just because we always wear our tuxedos, it's because we really are gentlemanly dogs. Oh, you're a female? Sorry, well, I guess you can be an American Gentleman Lady.
The Arizona Biltmore in 1936. You're looking east-southeast towards Camelback Mountain.
What a beautiful day! It should be, it's winter in Phoenix, which is the only time that the Biltmore is open. We've heard that it can be terribly hot in the summer, but we society dogs would only visit in nice weather. Anything else would be uncivilized!
Since it's the 1940s, the Biltmore is way north of the Phoenix City Limits. You get there by going to Camelback Road and 24th Street, and then taking the drive across the Arizona Canal. I know, because I was looking out of the window the whole time, tongue hanging out, and even barking a bit in the limousine all of the way from the train station downtown.
There's nothing but open space north of us, to the Phoenix Mountains, and plenty of this wonderful grass to play on here by the golf course. Life is good for us! Hmmm... I'm feeling a bit hungry, will you ask our human to ring for room service?

It's Not That Easy
U.S. Open 2017: Brooks Koepka's left-handed golf swing is staggeringly good
Sam Weinman
OK, that does it. We could handle Brooks Koepka's mammoth drives, and his cartoon biceps, and the fact that this is his girlfriend. But one can only contain one's resentment for so long.
Because then we saw this video of Brooks Koepka's left-handed golf swing.
For the record, that's Koepka's weak hand, and it's still absurdly good—so good we venture to say it's better than 95 percent of the golf swings people make from their dominant sides. But then again, that's Brooks Koepka, the same guy who just tied the U.S. Open scoring record, said he never got nervous along the way, and has confessed to not entirely loving golf. But we're not envious or anything. Really we're not. Good for him.
Seriously, it's fine.

"In our quest for knowledge and adventure we foolishly awoken the wrath of King Ramses."
"Return the Slab" (story and game design by Don-Niel Saunders) is a 3-5 player board game. One player is selected at random to be King Ramses, a powerful resurrected mummy hell-bent on stopping the rest of players, known as the Explorers, from placing slabs on the 3 alters around the board.
Alters: An Explorer must visit each individual alter to win. Visiting for the first time warps the Explorer back to Start. Any other time ends their turn. King Ramses is unaffected.
Tunnels: Explorers who enter tunnels are randomly sent to another tunnel based on the roll of a die. King Ramses cannot use Tunnels.
Pitfalls (Burgendy): Explorers who land on this tile with their final step are sent back to Start. King Rameses is unaffected.
Secret (Blue): Explorers who possess the Torch card may pass through these tiles. King Ramses may freely walk through these tiles.
Action (Yellow): King Ramses or Explorers get an Action Card or replace one they own. King Ramses can store up to 1 - 3 action cards, based on the number of Explorers in the game.
Banish: Send King Ramses back to his Sarcophagus.
Jump: Move 1 space in any direction.
Rope: Upon falling into a Pitfall save yourself with Rope, moving yourself 1 space forward.
Knife: Prevents 1 Pull or Snare.
Torch: Allows a 1-use passage through Secret Tiles.
Escape: Upon being hit by King Ramses, nullifies the effects of the attack and leaves the Explorer immune to the King for the rest of the turn.
Pull: Pull any Explorer 1 tile in any direction.
Snare: Snared Explorers must roll an even number, which is then cut in half. Rolling an odd number ends their turn.
Blockade: Construct a Blockade, an Explorer-impassible tile. Lasts until King Ramses' next turn.
Added UI element to display how many alters each Explorer has visited.
Added "Disabled" icons for deactivated tunnels and action spaces.
Added black background to chatbox.
Fullscreen mode has visual bugs.


First time I saw this with my Mom she made me turn it off because it was "too Tarantino" for my 13 year old mind. Now, at 18, I can say this movie was definitely not for 13 year olds (thanks mom). I loved this movie because of how real it felt. Tarantino is a master of making his movies feel realistic and also completely over the top with the theatrics. Watch it.

Todd Lester founded freeDimensional in 2006 with Hugo Espinel, a filmmaker, and Alexandra Zobel, a literature professor, both from Colombia.
From 2002-03, Todd managed a project with American University's Center for Global Peace that strove to organize and facilitate cross-border taskforces for Turkish, Armenian and Azerbaijani NGOs and municipal leaders. In light of the fact that they could never convene all the community leaders in one of their own countries, a colleague, Diana Fakiola had the idea to invite them to her family's farm on the island of Tzia in Greece. Todd was inspired that all it took was going swimming together and sitting in lawn chairs around a fire to transform decades-old-hostilities into manageable negotiations that could be resolved in a mutually beneficial manner. The idea of 'hosting' – which is foundational to freeDimensional – started taking shape.
In 2005, while in Sudan working for the International Rescue Committee, Todd met Gadalla Gubara, a blind filmmaker in his 90s, and his daughter, Sara. They invited Todd to come and visit their studio. He learned that in 1998, the Sudanese government issued a decree of eminent domain that allowed it to take the land where Gad's film studio stood. According to Sara, the day of the decree was the day that Gad went blind. The military used his studio as a dormitory while his equipment and film reels were haphazardly stacked in corners, all stored improperly and some destroyed. While Sara continues to fight for all of the land that was taken from them, a portion of the land including the studio and its courtyard, was returned to the family in early 2005.
Todd had just heard from a friend, Max von Duerckheim, who was forming a theater company in need of practice and performance space. He suggested to Sara that they make a deal with the acting troupe to help clean up Gad's studio in exchange for use of the space. During the course of the project the Vice-President from southern Sudan died in a helicopter crash and Khartoum erupted in violence that mirrored the then-22-year north-south civil divide. They worried that the first public performance they had enjoyed in the backyard of the studio would be the last. But just before Todd's time in Sudan ended in late 2005, there was a second performance in the lot behind the studio where Gad danced in delight with his daughter Sara. (See photo.)
Also while in Khartoum, Todd met a painter named Afifi whose calligraphy shop had been closed by the police because of a political art piece he had installed on an overpass in the city, which decried the poor conditions faced by local artists. Afifi and Gad's stories helped Todd to understand that the authorities in Khartoum were using eminent domain to close spaces of free expression and censor alternative viewpoints expressed through art. The events of 2005 profoundly affected him and he was motivated to put his ideas for freeDimensional into practice. Recognizing that there was a way to help these and other individuals, the freeDimensional concept started to grow with a vision to engage community arts space for free expression.

Bishop raps Giuliani on his abortion stand: Catholic Church opposes pro-choice politicians
The Catholic bishop of Providence, Rhode Island, has publicly lambasted Republican Rudy Giuliani's support of abortion rights, adding his voice to a conservative chorus of critics rebuking the front-running GOP presidential candidate.
"Rudy's public proclamations on abortion are pathetic and confusing. Even worse, they're hypocritical," Bishop Thomas J. Tobin wrote in a May 31 editorial in his diocese's newspaper, Rhode Island Catholic.
Jun 26, 2007 issue
Tobin's criticism comes as the Catholic Church—from Pope Benedict XVI on down—engages in a debate over how the church's hierarchy should treat Catholic politicians who support abortion rights.
Tobin said he was particularly "distressed" when he received an invitation to attend a fund-raiser for Giuliani. "I try to avoid partisan politics," Tobin wrote. "Heck, I'm not even a Republican. But most of all, I would never support a candidate who supports legalized abortion."
The former New York mayor's pro-abortion rights stance has been heavily criticized by conservatives—including Focus on the Family founder James Dobson—but Tobin is thought to be the first Catholic bishop to speak out against Giuliani.
In a speech at Houston Baptist College in May, Giuliani said: "I believe abortion is wrong. I think it is morally wrong." But he also said that when "people of good faith . . . come to different conclusions about this, about something so very, very personal, I believe you have to respect their viewpoint. You have to give them a level of choice here."
Also last month, Pope Benedict said that Mexican politicians who recently voted to legalize abortions could be excommunicated. The pontiff later backed off and said church rules call for Catholics who participate in abortions to exclude themselves from receiving Holy Communion. Soon after, 18 Catholic members of the U.S. House of Representatives criticized the pope for overstepping church-state boundaries.
During the 2004 presidential race, nearly a dozen U.S. bishops said they would refuse to offer communion to Senator John Kerry (D., Mass.). –Religion News Service

One of the most popular (and also one of the most controversial) kitchen design trends of the past few years has been open shelving. Replacing your upper cabinets with open shelving gives your kitchen a lighter, more open look, and it's a great way to put beautiful dishware on display. On the flip side, it can look a bit chaotic unless you edit rigorously, and then there's the issue of dust and grime collecting on your dishes. If you like the lighter look of open shelving, but not the attendant hassle, there is another way.

A-level Religious Studies has several flexible syllabuses, allowing you to concentrate on one aspect of religion or you could alternatively choose to study several aspects of this subject such as: art in religion, religion and philosophy, major world religions etc.
To gain the full award of A-level Religious Studies you have to complete four units, each of which is assessed by examination. Therefore, taking A-level Religious Studies online presents no barrier to you successfully completing this course.
Both of the AS-level Religious Studies units are used to provide a foundation of knowledge on which to base your studies at A2-level, should you choose to progress to that level. Typically these two AS-level units require you to study and compare at least two areas of religion chosen from: the six major world religions (each as an individual options), ethics, philosophy of religion or the New Testament eg.
You could study Buddhism and religious philosophy, or a narrower choice like Christianity and the New Testament. You will also have to undertake studies that investigate the notions of ethics and morality with respect to religion. This might be achieved by comparing medical ethics to the problem of preventing suffering or what is life and death in relation to the idea of life after death etc.
A2-level Religious Studies will focus your attention on to topics that are broadly described as religious philosophy and the ethics of religion. Here you might again compare and contrast the philosophy behind any two world religions, or perhaps you might decide to study, at a philosophical level, what the term "soul" might mean or how "God" interplays with the concept of ultimate reality.
When studying religious ethics as part of your A2-level Religious Studies, it will begin by covering the established standards of ethics theory such as things like Aristotle's view of "virtue ethics". It will then go on to discuss ethical issues in modern society, ie. business, health and sexual ethics. All of these studies will be done in relation to the six major world religions.
You can take the qualification A-level Religious Studies online. As it is an intensely research based A-level, requiring extensive study of set texts, all of the materials needed to succeed in this A-level can be made available online. Studying other various aspects of A-level Religious Studies online should be rewarding to you as well.
For example, you could go online to discuss a philosophical/ethical aspect of New Testament writing with people in Africa/America/Asia; or discuss Judaism online with someone living in an Israeli kibbutz … etc. To sit the exams for this A-level you will need to attend a formal assessment centre approved by the examining board.
What Advantages Will A-level Religious Studies Offer You?
Taking A-level Religious Studies will allow you the time to think, in an academic context, about religion – regardless of your personal religious inclinations. It will do this by developing both your knowledge and understanding of religion(s) and, especially, how religion interacts with our modern world. A-level Religious Studies will also help you to develop your skills in critically analysing and reflecting on both personal and world values and opinions.

Hungary's Katinka Hosszu Confirmed for Luxembourg Euro Meet 2020
Published on Friday, 10 Jan 2020 09:19 by JCA
Katinka Hosszu; Credit: Luxembourg Euro Meet
The Euro Meet Organising Committee has announced that Hungarian Olympic champion and world record holder Katinka Hosszu will be competing in the 22nd edition of the Euro Meet swim event, being held at d'Coque in Luxembourg-Kirchberg from 24 to 26 January 2020.
The Hungarian top swimmer, also known as the "Iron Lady", will kick off the Olympic year with starts at the FINA Champions Series in Shenzhen (China) from 14-15 January and in Beijing (China) from 18-19 January before taking part in the Luxembourg Euro Meet.
This will not be Katinka Hosszu's first time competing in Luxembourg: at the Euro Meet 2013 she swam all fifteen individual events into the final and won eleven of them. This year, Hungary's "Iron Lady" will have some tough competition, especially in the form of Sweden's Olympic champion Sarah Sjöström, British European champion Georgia Davies and the Italian 2016 European Championship bronze medallist Ilaria Bianchi.
At the European Short Course Championships in Glasgow last December Katinka Hosszu won the 400m medley title and thus, fifteen years after her first podium at the European Championships in Vienna in 2004, won her 90th international medal at the European Championships, World Championships and Olympic Games.
Further details as well as tickets for the Euro Meet 2020 are available from www.euromeet.lu.

FLACHAU, Austria, Dec. 16, 2003 (AP) -- Hermann Maier's hometown named a ski slope after the triple World Cup winner on Tuesday.
A challenging hill on the Griessenkar mountain was dubbed the "Hermann Maier World Cup Slope" leading toward World Cup races there in January. Maier has yet to win a race in his hometown, but the double Olympic champion is convinced he can do so this time.
"Nobody in the circuit has skied down here more often than I have," he told the Austria Press Agency. "A day before my Super G win in Kitzbuehel last season, I trained on this hill and could feel my form return."
Maier, who nearly lost his right leg in a 2001 motorcycle accident, leads the overall World Cup standings.

I started off this blog talking about the self-improvement kick I have been on lately in order to clear out the cobwebs and make room in my life and head-space for writing and other endeavors. So far so good. The 7 days of 2009 have been productive ones. I started my blog; Violet got dressed seven times without having an hour-long meltdown and standing in the snow barefoot; I applied to be a volunteer at Tribeca Film Festival* and I returned to the gym after weeks of gluttony and napping. Still, there is more to be done and what better way to hold myself accountable than telling the 12 of you reading this, my resolutions for 2009.
1) Write at least 3x a week. Today is my third time writing this week, so this is a manageable goal.
2) Send one pitch a month to some sort of magazine about something. This one is a little vague and could use some work.
3) Do 20 squats and 20 lunges everyday. I know it's not much, but the odds of me even doing this are slim, so starting small is good. I actually made this resolution 7 days ago and have done 0 squats and lunges everyday.
4) With Mark Bittman's new cookbook, Food Matters, serving as inspiration, and to be both frugal and healthy — I want to cook more vegetarian meals. This is counter to Adam's resolution at birth to eat meat with every meal, so we will see how it goes.
4b) Plan the week's menu every Sunday and try to use what is in the freezer.
4c) Go an entire month without eating out or ordering in or buying any food other than groceries and Starbucks (I have to live!). I think April is the designated month. It should be an interesting failure experiment, to write about.
6) Do more crafty stuff and baking with the kids. Winter-behavior has already started (mine, no mine, mine, no mine, MINE, MIIIIIIIIIINE, MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE), and I want them to live to see spring.
That's it. I'm counting on the hounding of my 5s of readers to keep me on track.
Tomorrow: My first product review. Can you stand the wait?
* I was put on the wait list before I even filled out the application. Stupid me should have applied months ago. Next year, I will know better. I'm now looking around for other similar volunteer opportunities.
** My grandmother ended up teaching my mom to drive.
Sarah--Your determination not to eat out or order in for a month fills me with anxiety. I don't know what to wish for you on this one: if you succeed, you make possible something I prefer to consider impossible. Perhaps you should fail forthwith and in advance on this one for the sake of the rest of us. Think of it as culinary lunging and squatting and just. . . let it go.
It sounds like our goals for the year are very, scarily similar...only you actually wrote yours down and started working on them! BRAVO! You are an inspiration. Now you are my funny friend, AND my inspirational friend.

Grassform provides pedestrian focused products to keep your people out of the mud, safe and on their feet whatever the weather. If its a temporary footpath in a school to divert the school population during some building works or perhaps a marque for a wedding or party event, prom or anniversary we can provide a solution to fit your requirement. We hire we sell and we install all of our temporary event pedestrian flooring products with our own direct workforce so you can relax. If you need further advice please call our experienced sales staff who will be happy to assist or you can go on line via our enquiry webpage.
Indoors and outdoors, temporary pedestrian surfaces are in high demand for a range of different purposes. From creating temporary pedestrian walkways at festivals, shows and summer fairs, to providing marquee flooring for weddings, proms and parties, easy-to-install, cost-effective solutions are an essential consideration at events of all shapes and sizes.
Temporary flooring is also often a key consideration in health and safety. For example, when construction projects take place at schools, college campus or business park, it is often necessary to create temporary footpaths to divert pedestrians away from the work.
Grassform supplies high quality, flexible pedestrian-focused products to keep people out of the mud, on their feet and safe whatever the weather. Lightweight yet durable, our plastic flooring tiles are easy to handle and straightforward to put together, with an interlocking design meaning they can cover any size or shape of surface.
They provide solid, stable ground reinforcement for pedestrian traffic on wet and boggy ground, while also allowing for natural surface drainage.
As with the majority of our products, we sell temporary flooring manufactured from recycled plastic, ensuring our solutions are sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Grassform hires and sells pedestrian flooring products, and we also provide a full delivery and installation service via our experienced professional team. So all you have to do is tell us the surface area you need to cover, give us the designs, and then you can relax while we take care of the rest.
Similarly, we also offer friendly, honest advice on quantities, designs and the best products to suit your purposes. We treat every client as unique, and will always work to put together a bespoke solution to suit your unique purposes.
For outdoor and indoor temporary pedestrian flooring, we supply Diamond Track modular tiles. A high quality portable flooring solution, Diamond Track is ideal for providing a stable, solid walking surface in all conditions while protecting grassy surfaces from wear and tear from high footfall.
Diamond Track is made from tough recycled polypropylene. A lightweight material with a relatively high tensile strength, it means that Diamond Track tiles are extremely easy to transport, handle and install, meaning you can get your temporary pedestrian walkways or marquee flooring set up in double quick time.
Yet despite being so lightweight, Diamond Track is more than capable of withstanding moderate to high pedestrian traffic, and is also suitable for bicycles.
One of the main advantages of Diamond Track is the degree of flexibility it offers for installation. Individual tiles lock together easily and quickly, and can be laid down in a uniform 'square' pattern with each tile directly adjacent to the next. The seamless joints and attractive 'diamond' design this creates ensures Diamond Track provides an aesthetically pleasing as well practical solution.
Diamond Track tiles can also be installed using a technique known as 'brick bonding'. This involves having different rows of tiles offset against those above and below in a diagonal pattern, the way you see on a brick wall. As is the case with masonry, the reason for using this arrangement is to provide additional strength. It is therefore recommended for high traffic, high impact uses – perfect, for example, for a busy temporary dance floor at an outdoor concert.
Diamond Track is ideal for virtually any kind of temporary pedestrian flooring. It is not, however, suitable for vehicles, as it does not have the strength to bear heavier loads. For surfaces to be used by vehicles, we recommend our range of ground reinforcement boards or grids.
Diamond Track can be used on a wide variety of outdoor terrains, including lawns, fields, uncovered soil and woodland areas. Because of the good drainage it provides, it is particularly well suited to wet and boggy conditions, and used on grassed areas will both help prevent excessive damage to the ground and provide a stable, non-slip surface for pedestrians.
It is commonly used to create temporary pedestrian walkways for a wide range of events and occasions. For fairs, fetes, festivals and school and sports club open days, Diamond Track can be used to create reliable paths across fields and other grassed areas. For concerts and sporting events, it can also be deployed to make standing areas or temporary dance floors on top of a grass surface.
Its versatility means Diamond Track is just as useful indoors as it is out. Many customers choose Diamond Track to create marquee flooring for weddings, parties, beer festivals and community celebrations, because it is so quick and easy to install and then take out again.
We have also had orders for Diamond Track to create portable flooring for school gyms, allowing schools to maximise space and resources by using a hall for multiple purposes. Similarly, it also makes a great temporary surface for playgrounds, ideal if you want to create a children's play area at an event.
If you need further advice, please call our experienced sales staff who will be happy to assist, or you can submit an online enquiry here.

Una Healy
6 things we learned from Billie Eilish's fifth same interview with Vanity Fair
Time flies.
Billie Eilish has sat down with Vanity Fair for her fifth annual interview. And while the questions remain the same, the popstar's answers have definitely changed.
Billie was just 15 years old when the tradition began back in 2017, with a mere 257,000 Instagram followers, versus her current count of 94.1 million.
In the new interview, 19-year-old Billie seems to have embraced her true self - she's honest about her feelings, what she wants for her future, and who she's become.
Here are 6 things we learned about the singer this year.
1. She's grown massively
Billie has truly grown since her first meeting with the magazine in 2017. Admitting that she once dreaded getting older and the idea of "growing up", she now finds she is really enjoying it.
"I'm starting to have like an adulthood which is new for me and very exciting," she said. "And I have had new experiences and new people and lots of love."
2. She's a little cringed out by her old self
Billie Eilish is releasing her first ever signature fragrance
Watching some of her old responses back, the star couldn't help but laugh.
"Gosh, that girl was going through an identity crisis," she said "Oh my gosh! You can see it in my eyes. I mean, really. The low bun? Please. What's going on?"
In the old clips, Billie felt she was too focused on giving off a cool, confident vibe - and, in turn, ended up hiding her true feelings. She now admits she often lied.
"It's just not what I was actually thinking," she said. "I was thinking like: 'I'm overwhelmed. I hate this. Everyone expects something from me. I don't have anything to give them. I f**kin suck.'"
3. She feels a lot of pressure nowadays
Billie Eilish's second Met Gala dress is beyond stunning
This year, Billie opened up about how it really feels to have the world's eyes on you at all times and the expectations that come with that. Whereas, in the past, she tried to brush it off and act as if she didn't care.
"I feel a lot of pressure. But I would also say, like, back then…I was pretty overall loved, I would say. To be honest. So I was, like, scared 'cause I really wanted to keep that love. And now, like, tons of people hate me.
"So I'm not worried anymore. I'm like, 'Oh, OK well, if you like me, you like me; if you don't, you don't."
4. She's learning to live in the moment
Watching her 2020 self complain about the pandemic cancelling live music, Billie said she has since learned to appreciate what she has rather than what she lacks. In hindsight, she can now see a lot of great things happened last year, even if she couldn't see it then.
"I feel like everything is permanent all the time. And it's not, things go in waves, things happen, things stop and then they start and it's like... You just have no idea what's to come, ever. You have to try to be aware of the amazing things that are going on right in the moment and not later."
5. She's started going out in public again
In the past, the singer felt like going out in public was a "disaster". She didn't want the world to see her as her every-day self, as opposed to the global phenomenon they expect. Going out meant hiding behind sunglasses, hats, hoods, and layers of clothes.
"My attitude used to be like, 'I can't go out, I can't go here, I can't go there.'… I wasn't able to go to a park or go get coffee. It freaked me out."
But in the last year, she has opened up to it and now feels confident stepping outside - something she is truly grateful for.
6. Performing makes her feel invincible
When asked what makes her feel powerful, Billie instantly replied:
"Being on stage makes me feel incredibly powerful. There's a part in my show where I get on a lift that takes me over the crowd and I lean over the edge and look down. And that is a kind of power that no one should feel. It makes me feel literally invincible."

Black soap has been around for centuries. Have you heard of it? I've only been aware of it in the past ten years. Black soap is becoming mainstream and there are many good reasons for this. But once something becomes "mainstream" demand goes up and all too often quality goes down. Imitation pops up. We need to educate ourselves on what we are buying. I don't know about you, but I work too hard to waste my money on crap that doesn't work. I need to support a good company, introduce healthy ingredients into my body and that of my family and see results.
Black soap is so amazing it is worth knowing the history. History of a skin care product is not just for dermal nerds like me! Knowing where something comes from enriches your experience and makes you appreciate it fully. Understanding origins puts you closer to the earth and makes you less likely to abuse it. This is my belief anyway.
Nigerians and Ghanaians have used black soap for centuries for bathing and as a shampoo for hair. Women used black soap for skin care during and after pregnancy to keep from getting dry skin, stretch marks and other skin conditions caused by hormonal changes. The soap was also used on babies because of its purity and it was gentle on sensitive skin.
Black soap recipes have been passed down in families from mother to daughter. Ingredients can differ by region and each batch can be unique. Age-old formulations and production methods make a big difference in the final outcome of the soap.
Black soap is made from dried plantain peels, palm leaves (palm oil) and coco-pod ash. A plantain is similar to a banana but it is firmer and less sweet. A banana is usually eaten raw whereas plantains are often cooked. Plantain skins are largely what make this black soap so effective. They are a natural source of vitamins A & E and iron.
Sadly, when something becomes "the next big thing" many Cosmetic companies want to cash in. Sometimes they will purchase black soap and add their own ingredients. Some of these ingredients can be natural like lavender oil or aloe vera gel, but others also add fragrance (which can be irritating to some individuals) and artificial ingredients. Other times they even go so far as to use regular soap and dye it black. Honestly. Who are these people? Buyer beware.
The pure and raw traditional African black doesn't look like regular bar soap. It is light brown to dark brown in colour. It is rarely smooth or uniform in shape. The texture of the soap should be soft and can be a bit crumbly. Natural raw black soap doesn't have artificial fragrance. It is described as having an earthy, ashy, scent.
So now you know what it is. Why should you use it?
African Black soap achieves a beautiful skin by reducing acne, oily skin, clear blemishes, eczema, body odor and soothe skin irritations and diseases from simple rashes to contact dermatitis, and psoriasis.
Black soap alleviates scalp itchiness and irritation, so it is perfect for use in the hair this time of year. Personally, I have found my skin much softer and healthier looking since using black soap on my body. I used to have keratosis pilaris (tiny white bumps) on my upper arms and thighs and that has since disappeared.
As an acne treatment, you cannot beat black soap. It treats pustules and black heads but also minimizes scarring and redness.
Authentic black soap is truly an amazing product and can be used on the whole family. You want to use it daily, just as you would a regular soap, for maximum results.
If you are using the soap on your face make sure you apply an appropriate toner and moisturizer afterwards. Even if you are an acneic skin you need to add essential hydration and nutrients to the skin. This is also true to the body. Make sure your lotion is free of fragrance and other chemicals.
As you can see, black soap has a rich history and even richer properties for your skin. Make the switch today and pick up some black soap.

Washington Spirit have busy day at 2019 NWSL Draft
January 10, 2019 January 10, 2019 by Jordan Small
The Washington Spirit had a busy Thursday at the 2019 NWSL Draft. Here is a breakdown of the five players that the Spirit took.
The 2019 NWSL Draft has come and gone. It was a crazy day for the Washington Spirit, who made five picks and two trades on the day. All in all, the Spirit were able to add five new names to their roster. They added Jordan DiBiasi, Samantha Staab, Tegan McGrady, Dorian Bailey, and Bayley Feist.
Jordan DiBiasi – 3rd overall pick
Jordan DiBiasi is a midfielder out of Stanford University. A Highlands Ranch, Colorado native, DiBiasi was named a MAC Hermann Trophy finalist and Pac-12 Midfielder of the Year in 2018. She won the 2017 National Championship as a member of the Stanford Cardinal where she was a teammate of current Spirit midfielder Andi Sullivan and fellow draft pick Tegan McGrady.
In her four years at Stanford, DiBiasi played 92 games, starting all but one of those games. She scored 31 goals and had 23 assists with 15 of those goals being game winners. DiBiasi could be an important part of the midfield when it comes to facilitating goals.
Sam Staab – 4th overall pick
Sam Staab is a defender out of Clemson University. While she has been known to play both left back and center back, Staab said that she is most comfortable playing center back, a position the Spirit desperately need help at. The San Diego, California native played in 18 of the 21 games for Clemson her senior year. As a junior, she logged the most minutes of her team at 1,802 minutes. She had 11 assists from the backline in her senior season as her left foot became a vital weapon for the Tigers. Head coach Richie Burke said after the draft that he plans to play Staab at left center back for the team this upcoming season.
Tegan McGrady – 7th overall pick
Tegan McGrady is a defender out of Stanford University. Alongside fellow draft pick Jordan DiBiasi and current Spirit midfielder Andi Sullivan, McGrady won the 2017 National Championship with Stanford. McGrady has one cap with the full U.S. national team. She made her debut for the U.S. against Mexico in April of 2018. She also made the All-Pac-12 first team in 2018.
McGrady played in 72 games as a member of the Stanford Cardinal for four years. She started in 61 of those games, scoring four goals and recording 13 assists. While she didn't score often, she did manage to make it count as three of her four career goals were game winners. With the trades that occured on draft day, she will become a valuable asset on the backline for the Spirit.
Dorian Bailey – 8th overall pick
The fourth and final pick of the first round for the Spirit was Dorian Bailey from the University of North Carolina. Bailey is a midfielder who played in 86 games at UNC. After starting less than a third of her games her first three years, Bailey started all 27 games she played in in 2018. She had her best season statistically as a junior as she racked up 21 points. She finished with 17 goals and 17 assists in four years at North Carolina. She was also named to the third-team All-ACC team. When the Spirit have players leave for the World Cup, Bailey will play an important role. Even when the Spirit are at full strength, Bailey offers a nice bit of depth in the midfield.
Bayley Feist – 17th overall pick
The Spirit traded up to get Bayley Feist with the 17th overall pick. Feist played collegiately at Wake Forest. She was named to the All-ACC second team in 2018 as well as the United Soccer Coaches All-South Region second team. In her four years in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Feist played in 78 games, starting 61 of those games. She had 54 points in her career, netting 22 goals. Her 22 goals is the most for a graduating Wake Forest player since 2013. Of those 22 goals, five were game winners. Feist joins Tori Huster, Aubrey Bledsoe, and Rose Lavelle as the Cincinnati girls on the Spirit roster.
The Spirit made two trades on Thursday. The first was to send three players and the 29th pick of the 2019 draft to Sky Blue in exchange for the 3rd overall pick on Thursday. With the third pick, the Spirit were able to draft Jordan DiBiasi out of Stanford. In exchange, the Spirit sent their captain Estelle Johnson, left back Caprice Dydasco, and goalkeeper DiDi Haracic to Sky Blue.
The second trade was between the Spirit and the Portland Thorns. Washington sent the 31st overall pick in the 2019 draft and the Spirit's natural 2nd round pick in the 2020 draft to Portland in exchange for the 17th overall pick in the 2019 draft. That allowed the Spirit to draft Bayley Feist.

In 2004 AgXML member companies began collaborating with BNSF and Union Pacific rail companies to develop a standards to enable the electronic exchange of rail rates. Once complete, the resulting standards were submitted to ANSI ASC X12 for publication and ongoing maintenance.
In 2005 AgXML member companies began work on developing a settlements standard. In April 2006 AgXML published a settlements standard as well as an update to its previously developed standards.
In 2007 the USDA's Grain Inspection, Packers & Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) reached out to AgXML to update AgXML's quality certificate standard to meet GIPSA requirements. One notable requirement was to support multiple quality certificates in a single message. AgXML member companies and GIPSA officials collaborated on defining requirements and implementing support for them in the AgXML standard. In August 2007, AgXML published new and updated quality certificate standards. Shortly thereafter the USDA issued a directive announcing support for the standard.
In 2009 AgXML member companies collaborated on an update to the standards to support biofuel requirements. AgXML published an update to its standards in August 2009. AgXML also added biofuel as an element in its mission.
In 2011 AgXML member companies, observing AgGateway's success in driving industry implementation projects, reached out to AgGateway to explore the possibility of establishing a Grain Council within AgGateway. (Note that AgXML's mission was to develop standards, not engage in implementation projects.) The process proved mutually beneficial and in August 2012, AgGateway formed a Grain Council. Concurrent with the formation, the AgXML Management Committee took the decision to cease standards-development activities within AgXML and to conduct such activities within AgGateway's Grain Council. AgXML would retain intellectual property ownership, require membership to access it (with the exception of the quality certificate standards, per agreement with the USDA), and set membership fees to zero.
The present and future of grain industry standards development and coordinated implementation projects is with AgGateway's Grain Council. While AgXML standards implementation is widespread, AgGateway's communications and implementation project management resources will enable the grain industry to achieve greater levels of efficiencies enabled by electronic business.


Responsive Vs. Adaptive- Which to choose?
When working with customers and developing scopes for projects, we often present two options for web design: responsive design and adaptive design. The two are commonly confused, and some may refer to responsive as a subset of adaptive technologies. Therefore, it's helpful to make sure all parties involved are using the same terminology when talking about site implementation. Understanding the key differences between responsive and adaptive design will keep everyone on the same page and help you select the best approach for your project.
While adaptive design is quicker and easier to implement, it's generally a bad practice to go about. It caters to today's devices only and doesn't make provisions for new devices with different widths that may be released tomorrow. Responsive on the other hand, works with every width between the smallest and largest versions. While this means much more work on the developer's part to ensure there are no breakpoints within the site, it also means the website is much more likely to work properly on any new device.
The correct answer is totally up to you. Both adaptive and responsive designs are great choices to ensure that your site is viewable on both mobile devices and desktops while using only one site. If we had to pick one, we will choose responsive as it is totally flexible and works on both mobile and desktops with the same perfection. ColorCuboid as a leading web design & mobile app development company offers complete mobile web design and development solution to clients across the globe. Contact us to know how we can make your website responsive today!
The user interface is the foundation of any good functional web site. When designing a site, you'll need to take into consideration your average user. Who is going to be visiting your web site — who is your ideal customer? Are they tech-savy? Or, are they not? People visit your website to find information or the product they are looking for. You will want to be sure that your navigation is easy to spot and consistent throughout the entire web site. Make it obvious where the user should click both in terms of your primary navigation, as well as for links within your content areas. It's helpful to create an image of your ideal visitor and have them in mind when planning out the design for your site. Be sure you offer everything on your site that they would want to find before buying from you or, becoming a subscriber.
When writing the copy for your web site, it's important to provide helpful, knowledgeable information about your company, products, services, etc. If you're running a blog, informative articles related to your area of expertise are incredibly helpful as well. You might have a pretty web site which will catch someone's eye, but if the content is no good, there are strong chances that they wont stick around.
Flash has its uses, but I don't think there's any reason for using it to power your website. When done badly, it can take up bandwidth, can confuse users with bizarre navigation and control mechanisms, and there are plenty of issues relating to accessibility. So, make sure that you use flash, but, keep it to minimum. Don't overuse it!
Texture is the physical quality of a surface. Applying some sort of texture to nearly every element of your work is also becoming extremely trendy in web design right now, so it's important to think about when, where and how to use it. It all seems very obvious, but it's also extremely easy to fall in the trap of using random textures just to make things look more tangible. Just like all other elements, take strong consideration in whether or not the textures you've chosen fully support your desired concepts.
If you have a large web site or blog, having a search field is incredibly helpful. There's nothing more frustrating than surfing through hundreds of pages to find specific content. You can use a Google Search Engine on your site, or if you have WordPress, this will be fairly easy to accomplish. It's not quite as easy to set this up with a static html site, but there are still services out there that will let you incorporate a functional search box onto your site.
The days of using html tables for layout and design are long gone. The best developed sites use a combination of XHTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), which create a separation of design vs content. With this separation of content from design, the search engines no longer have to wade through all of the excess code to find out if your content is relevant, either. And with separate files, the content can load quicker, too.
It's important that your website images are saved in an compressed format. Not too much that your images become pixelated, but as much as possible while retaining quality. Programs like Adobe Photoshop have a "Save for Web" feature that will automatically convert your image to 72dpi, as well as give you a variety of compression settings when saving your images. For web this will likely be either png, jpg or gif depending on the particular usage.
For a good website a strong concept is mandatory, otherwise your design will fail. You will be mixing and matching styles with no core values in mind. It could look pretty in the end, but that's simply not enough in today's market. Take some time and really think about where you want to start. Building on bad ground will yield bad construction. So, plan your moves carefully to see better results.
