I always sneak a peek at the Chi Chi line since you first posted about the lipsticks :) This one is a stunner, strange that they said it is matte though!
On the box itself it says matte, so weird coz you can see how creamy it is!
Reminds me of Politely Pink from MAC, which is one of my all time faves.
Ooh I haven't seen PP from MAC, must keep a look out for it unless of course it's L/E.
hihihi you want them all :) ... this is really a girl's problem ... hollywood fits you perfectly!
I've seen this lipstick at Myer and Gloss and I was pretty impressed with the sheer range they had of shades. I really liked the look of a few of them, but the price somewhat put me off. Hollywood Heiress looks lovely on you.
I think if you keep an eye out you can get them way cheaper, as I too am a bit weary of paying almost $20 for Chi Chi, but the quality is really amazing.
Oh wow! Highly impressed. It's beautiful, natural and doesn't at all wash you out.
Love this - I only just stumbled across chi chi lipstick in the same way - and the 2 colours I chose are Fashion Police and Hollywood Heiress also! Then I googled it and found your blog... following now!

Empire BlueCross BlueShield Announces Ortho@Home for Convenient and Affordable Access to Orthodontic Benefits from Home
Empire BlueCross BlueShield now covers at home orthodontic aligners amid growing demand for remote services.
NEW YORK, NY (May 14, 2020) – Empire BlueCross BlueShield (Empire) announced the launch of Ortho@Home, a teledentistry and at-home orthodontia program. The services is part of Empire's continuing commitment to providing access to affordable services that meet a person's whole health needs, while also providing safe, remote-care during this pandemic.
Available to Empire Dental's Prime and Complete networks, the service integrates seamlessly with orthodontic network provider options and includes discounts of up to $200 off retail pricing.
Empire is one of the first payors to announce network coverage of at-home orthodontia solutions overseen remotely by licensed dentists. Consumers with orthodontic benefits will have access to at-home clear aligner therapy, remote oversight of care, teeth whitening, and retainers at completion of treatment with an average cost up to 60 percent less than traditional orthodontia and three times faster. This offering helps improve member access to orthodontic care – especially in rural areas where over half of the counties in the United States do not have access to orthodontists' offices.
"Empire is committed to providing our consumers with more convenient and affordable care options," said Scott Towers, President, Dental and Vision Business at Empire. "By improving consumer access to quality dental care while meeting the growing demand for remote services, Ortho@Home makes access more convenient, decreases healthcare costs, and also reduces the need for face-to-face interactions, which is especially important during the current pandemic."
This new, lower-cost option for orthodontia adds convenience, creating more accessibility for Empire members to get orthodontic care. In most cases, members will pay less than $1,000 out of pocket after the orthodontic benefit is applied. Members may also use spending accounts including FSA, HSA, and HRAs.

This session will take a closer look at how trade wars and tariffs are impacting middle market industrial companies and their PE owners – and strategies you can deploy to create value in this dynamic arena.
Few if any policy issues have dominated the headlines more than international trade – the Administration's historic decision to rewrite decades-old Agreements while unilaterally imposing wide-ranging tariffs on goods vital to the industrial economy. The bottom-line impact on companies large and small has been profound; the debate over whether such actions have succeeded continues to rage. Yet, despite a flow of daily news coverage, tweets, speeches, and summits — events are still changing by the hour. As a result, very few businesses or their owners truly understand what has happened, how it has happened, and what, if anything, they can do about it.
Has your supply chain been disrupted? Have your customer relationships been frayed? Have your costs risen, or your margins shrunk, as a result of a Presidential tweet or Administrative action — and the policy changes that followed? If so, you're not alone.
This session will provide an up-to-the-minute briefing on the current landscape of trade policy – with an eye toward allowing you tangibly to use that information in your businesses. It will go "behind the headlines" to share what has actually changed and why, what may still change, and how those shifts in policy will reverberate throughout the economy for years to come. Most importantly, it also will share how you and your companies meaningfully can engage in these issues by discussing best practices that will take you from the sidelines to the playing field in a way that fosters value creation.


New Delhi [India], Mar 19 (ANI): Patiala House Court on Tuesday allowed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to send an extradition request to Republic of Albania against the two directors of Gujarat based Pharma firm.
The investigating agency has been probing the money laundering case of Rs 8100 case against Sterling Biotech Ltd.
ED's counsel Nitesh Rana told the court that as per information from reliable sources, the accused Nitin Jayantilal Sandesara and Chetankumar Jayantilal Sandesara, both directors of Sterling Biotech Ltd (SBL), have obtained the citizenship of Republic of Albania.
Rana also said non-bailable warrants (NBWs) were issued against both earlier this year. Extradition requests needed to be certified from the court.
The court of Additional session Judge Satish Kumar Arora not only allowed ED's plea of extradition request but also issued fresh NBWs against both the accused, which will be attached with the requests.

Behind The Article: Apocalypse Now in Cambodia
Bayon Buffalo, Photo by Simon Glassock
In my house, my fiance must say "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" at least once a week. It's always referring to something guy-like, maybe not as guy-like as the infamous John Mayer quote, but it's always in guy terms. When writer Simon Glassock proposed his idea for an Apocalypse Now article, I knew I'd immediately have a male audience. War movie, men hunting, men in their most primal state.
But after reading Glassock's article, I realized there's a lot more to Apocalypse Now (and Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness, which the movie was based on) then just being a "guy" film. Glassock details the history of the film, including Marlon Brando's diva-like behavior and Francis Ford Coppola's struggles on set. Glassock also discusses the infamous water buffalo sacrifice scene and where the idea originated.
Literary Traveler: You write about the history of Apocalypse Now. But when you were in the Cambodian jungle, what was your visceral experience?
Simon Glassock: Being in a jungle, or in any wild place, makes me feel pleasantly empty and inconsequential. I say 'pleasantly' because it is not a negative sensation. I find being reminded that the natural world is oblivious to us quite refreshing and the jungle-encroached ruins of past civilisations such as those at Angkor are a striking example how small and transient we really are.
LT: Why do you think Apocalypse Now resonates with a male audience (more so than with a female audience)?
SG: I hadn't thought about the film specifically in gender terms but now that you prompt me I think it may partly be because there are no females in it. Apocalypse Now shows how a flawed man can be the agent of his own redemption. It also presents a homosocial (not homosexual) world in which men form relationships that can be, are permitted to be, perhaps because of the proximity of death, close and intimate in a way that men seldom experience. War films often suggest a sense of belonging, purpose and even moral growth which can elude men in civilian society.
LT: Do you think with current animal rights restrictions, would the water buffalo scene still have been done if filmed today?
SG: It is worth reiterating that the water buffalo sacrifice was a cultural event that was recorded and incorporated in the film rather than a scripted scene. I strongly suspect that liberal intolerance of substantive difference and the threat of real violence from some quarters would prevent the scene from being included today. Respect for diversity and multi-culturalism, anyone?

Q: django - disable staticfiles logging noob question:
I want to disable logging on static assets on the console, I only want to see normal http requests (but not the ones for static files).
I always get this on the console for all the static file loading

[24/Sep/2014 22:18:55] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 39816
[24/Sep/2014 22:18:55] "GET /static/2.5.11/socialschools/css/molengo/molengo-regular-webfont.css HTTP/1.1" 200 509
[24/Sep/2014 22:18:55] "GET /static/2.5.11/socialschools/js/less.1.7.0.min.js HTTP/1.1" 200 101854
[24/Sep/2014 22:18:55] "GET /static/2.5.11/socialschools/js/html5shiv.3.7.0.js HTTP/1.1" 200 2428
[24/Sep/2014 22:18:55] "GET /static/2.5.11/socialschools/js/jquery.1.9.1.min.js HTTP/1.1" 200 92629
[24/Sep/2014 22:18:55] "GET /static/2.5.11/socialschools/js/respond.1.4.2.min.js HTTP/1.1" 200 4377
[24/Sep/2014 22:18:55] "GET /static...

Is there any way to disable this?
For example in express (nodejs), if I put the logging middleware before the static middleware, it doesn't log the static files. Any help appreciated, thanks!

A: I see that this question is pretty old (4 years and 8 months) I'd like to add possible solutions for that task. Since logging on static assets on the console is governed by the logging module, the answer is in logging configurations.
There is a concept of filter in python logging, which allows record to be populated further by loggers chain, or be suppressed simply by returning Boolean True or False.
I've got this problem a few times, so I'd like to put a solution here:

*

*Let's write a Filter in somemodule.

from logging import Filter

class SkipStaticFilter(Filter):
    """ Logging filter to skip logging of staticfiles to terminal """
    def filter(self, record):
        return not record.getMessage().startswith('GET /static/')

Edit: For Django 2.2: replace GET /static/ with HTTP GET /static/

*Now let's add this filter into the settings:

LOGGING = {
    # Definition of filters
    'filters': {
        'hide_staticfiles': {
            '()': 'somemodule.SkipStaticFilter'
        }
    },
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',

            # Usage of that filter
            'filters': ['hide_staticfiles']
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django': {
            # Usage of the handler with our filter
            'handlers': ['console'],
        }
    },

}

Now you will not see any log record which starts with "GET /static/
You can add more workers, with sophisticated rules to decide if you want to see that record or not (Do not hide the static requests if they are 404, for example)
Hope that would help someone to get rid of logging pollution.

A: Unfortunately, the runserver command doesn't respect the --verbosity option that other management commands do.
For more information on the --verbosity option, check out: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/django-admin/#displaying-debug-output

You are about to read Volume 3 of The King Trilogy, the story of a thirty-three year old woman who chose to go to war with the greed and avarice of big business, the overwhelming power of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, and a billion dollar shareholder lawsuit against her. Simultaneously, she chose to fall in love with a man who was engaged to marry another woman.
Jim Servito shatters the hopes and aspirations of star-crossed lovers, Mike King and Karen Taylor, while simultaneously engineering a grand theft ranking as one of the largest and most audacious in Canadian and U.S. history. Cynical and remorselessly ruthless, he possesses a brilliant criminal mind, has enormous contempt for the law, police, governments, and the system in which they function. He assumes rules are for fools, and takes sadistic pleasure in breaking them. Using The Peace Bridge as if he owned it, he steals $325,000,000 from the U.S. and Canadian governments, steals enormous quantities of gasoline by illegally installing valves in Golden National's Buffalo refinery, then murders everyone who can implicate him.
A teen—young and troubled—is sent to visit relatives on a Canadian island. She loves the island and befriends a great dog, and her hope of happiness begins to rise. But stolen artifacts and her spiteful cousin threaten disaster. . . She can't help wondering: does God care?

Q: Deployment from Maven repository to destr servers My question might be trivial, but I haven't found any meaningful answer.
I have multi-modules application which is built and deployed to Maven repository. Now I would like to have a framework/script which will be triggered by Jenkins/Bamboo and will do the following:

*

*take already built and signed application artifacts from Maven repository

*Deploy them on remote servers using given set of rules/configs

*Deploy dependencies as well

*Form startup scripts for application with correct classpath

Approaches I've seen included custom set of bash scripts, but the question is always dependencies. Since dependencies are already part of pom.xml I don't want to declare them again set of scripts.
Ideally I would like to re-use the same pom.xml to download dependencies and artifacts to servers. Also I'm looking towards more or less standard deployment based on Puppet.
I have two constraints:

*

*Maven based deployments don't work since I would like to deploy both application (my) and third-party artifacts from Maven repo.

*Building jar-with-dependeincies using assembly plugin is not an option as well

Could you please suggest something?
Thank you!

A: Here's what I would do:
You're right that maven already has all the dependency info. I would add an extra maven module that will depend on all other modules, so maven runs it last. I would also define this module under a profile that only your CI server runs.
In this module, I'd use either a custom maven plugin, or the maven groovy plugin and some (inline?) Groovy code to generate your deployment scripts. Both of these approaches get you access to mavens project model, which has all of your dependencies

A: I'd:

*

*make the servers Jenkins nodes (JVM and slave.jar is all that you need for that)

*create "establish runtime environment" jobs that are configured to run on specific servers (with 1. aka Jenkins nodes or slaves then)

*

*define scripts in these jobs that run on the servers then and do your stuff there

*or better, avoid scripts, mavenize it:

*

*install Maven on the servers

*create "establish runtime environment" POMs on the servers which:

*

*download runtime artifacts from your repository (including <dependencies>)

*establish and configure your runtime environments accordingly

The Clean Seas Odyssey is a new initiative driven by Rebecca Sykes, a senior manager of Technology Innovation at Lloyd's Register, who leads teams to develop services in renewable energy. Sykes has published the findings of a four-month, 1000-mile sailing journey that aimed to understand the extent of the plastic problem in the oceans. With an estimated 150 million tonnes of plastic in the oceans across the globe, Sykes' aim was to promote the importance of the circular economy for non-biological materials, where the packaging and contents are designed to be "used, reclaimed, re-made and used again in a near infinite cycle".
Sykes works within the maritime and food sectors of Lloyd's Register. "Plastics make up 85 per cent of beach litter worldwide, 61 per cent of which are single-use plastics and mostly linked to the food industry such as crisp packets, sweet wrappers, food containers and cutlery. This poses a physical threat to wildlife and toxicological damage to wildlife and humans," she says.
Sykes, along with her partner, embarked on a four-month journey around the English Channel, to meet with various stakeholders to understand the issue. "On the way we met and interviewed professors and scientific researchers, waste management experts, artists, experts in the circular economy and economics, business managers, environmental charities and community leaders to learn from their expertise. With the crew's help, we have also contributed to primary research on microplastics in association with Birmingham University, collecting over 68kg of sediment from 13 locations in five river estuaries and two island beaches," explains Sykes.
In response to Sykes' findings and growing awareness about the issues of ocean plastics, Lloyd's Register has committed to producing products that have less impact on the environment and working in a more sustainable way. The organisation has also become a founding member of the UN Group for Sustainable Ocean Business.
"The amount of plastic waste in our seas and along our coastlines is reaching crisis point. It's affecting the oceans and the creatures that live there and the evidence points to concerns for our health. We couldn't bear to stand by, idly waiting for 'someone to do something'," she concludes.

When it comes to Syrian refugees, Canada is falling behind
Canada promised to resettle 1,300 Syrian refugees by the end of 2014. Rachel Browne speaks with three who have recently arrived in Toronto.
by Rachel Browne
Three young residents of a Syrian refugee camp overlook the town of Qah, Syria. (Daniel Leal-Olivas/i-Images/Polaris).
A few days after Christmas, Sarah looked in the mirror in the front hallway of the red-brick home in Toronto's east end. She was trying on winter coats donated by the parishioners of St. Bartholomew's Catholic church just down the road. The sleeves on a cream-coloured puffy jacket–with the tags still attached–drooped when she held up her arms. "It's a little too big. Do you really think I will need this?" she asked Kenneth Fung, a retired psychiatrist who was hosting Sarah, 25, her brother Michael, 27, and their friend Ibrahim, 33. He reassured her winter was coming, and she would indeed be thankful for it soon enough.
The trio are the last of roughly 1,000 Syrian refugees resettled in Canada in 2014–which includes a woman who worked at the Canadian embassy in Damascus, that closed in 2012–despite the federal government's promise that it would allow 1,300 by the end of the year, in large part due to the federal government's red tape.
The Toronto church—which has sponsored eight refugees from Iraq and Syria since 2007—is part of a network of more than 160 Catholic parishes that support the Office for Refugees at the Archdiocese of Toronto (ORAT), the most active refugee pipeline to Canada. Since the group was founded in 2009, it has brought in more than 2,000 refugee families from conflict zones around the world.
ORAT has resettled 114 Syrian refugees this year, but Martin Mark, the group's director, says they could have easily doubled that number if not for the government's processing delay, which crippled his work for most of the year. Because Immigration didn't release the quota for private sponsors until several months after his group expected it, Martin says he wasn't able to start bringing Syrians in until much later than expected. "It's devastating. We have so many people willing to sponsor refugees and do the resettlement work. It's been very difficult to work like this," he said.
The Immigration Minister has yet to explain the delay. Martin is concerned about ORAT's unprocessed applications for 2014, some of which he says he will have to resubmit in 2015. "It's so defeating. These people need hope, not bureaucracy," he said. He's expecting similar delays and disappointments in 2015, but says it won't break his motivation. On Jan. 7, the Canadian government announced they would resettle another 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next three years.
Sarah, Michael, and Ibrahim prefer to use English nicknames for fear that family members, who are still in Syria, may be in danger if their names are revealed. As often as the church will let him, Fung–a Chinese-Trinidadian who immigrated to Canada in 1972–gets up in front of the congregation and asks everyone to donate a toonie to the cause. The cost of privately sponsoring a refugee for one year is around $15,000.
In 2013, Immigration Canada promised to admit 1,300 of the estimated 3.3 million Syrian refugees by the end of 2014. Of that, 200 would be sponsored by the government directly, and 1,100 would be left for the 85 private sponsorship agreement holders, which includes religious and community groups like ORAT. However, Canada admitted considerably fewer Syrian refugees than Germany, which has welcomed more than 6,000 and promised to take an additional 20,000, and Sweden, which has given permanent residency to 30,000 Syrians. While the U.S. donates the most money to relief efforts in Syria, it has a worse record than Canada: only 105 refugees from Syria were allowed in last year.
Sarah and Michael, both born and raised 30km north of Damascus, fled to the city with their family in 2012 after the violence intensified in their hometown. While Michael was on the way home from class one day at the University of Damascus, the man sitting next to him on the bus was shot by a sniper and died on the spot. "I just looked over and he was slumped over and covered with blood. That was when we realized living there was too dangerous." In 2013, a car bomb went off on Sarah's usual route home from work, killing five people. A couple months later, on the day Michael was at the university to graduate with a degree in architecture, a mortar shell crashed into the campus, killing 10 students and injuring another 29.
Their parents are in Beirut, trying to get a visa to get out. Their brother married an Italian woman and moved to Europe. But their friends, Sarah's boyfriend, Michael's girlfriend, and extended family are still in Syria. Sarah's best friend was kidnapped by rebels last year; she has no idea where she is. Ibrahim fled Aleppo in 2012 after five colleagues at the chemical company where he worked were taken hostage and rebel fighters took over the factory. Ibrahim's parents just told him the city was without water for seven days.
Like most people who end up on ORAT's sponsorship waitlist, Sarah, Michael, and Ibrahim heard the sponsorship program by word of mouth. Mark was in Beirut in the summer of 2013, stationed at a local Syriac Christian church, conducting interviews with refugees to see if they were eligible for sponsorship, when they met him. Mark tries to seek those who are most vulnerable, but also helps the ones he thinks are most likely to contribute to Canadian society.
The three, who met in Canada, now have a place to live in Toronto, and work at a nearby Middle Eastern grocery store. Members of St. Bartholomew's are always on call to make sure they have food, money, health care and transportation. Their social network also depends on the congregation; they just spent Christmas at Fung's house and they are invited to church services and gatherings.
"I always try to thank them for everything they do for us, but my English isn't good enough yet to express it properly," said Ibrahim. "We wish that one day we do something to help other refugees, to let them know that something very good happened here."
An earlier version of this story misstated the number of Syrian refugees resettled in Canada in 2014. The article has been corrected.

I just paid for a video using the PayPal eCheck option, when will I get my download link?
When paying with PayPal e-check, the payment may take up to 4 days to clear. This process is entirely on PayPal's end, and your download links will be automatically emailed to you as soon as the payment clears on our end.
This is very frustrating. To order something online means instant, or close to instant access for anything downloadable. FOUR DAYS? Nice of clickwrestle to shrug and say "Not out fault," but clickwrestle chooses to use an ecommerce solution with processing speeds that would have been slow for 1998! Clickwrestle will have to do much better than this for me to give them my money.
Ridiculous, and I'll never use this service again.

Clark School Professor Develops Game-Changing Baseball Innovation
When it comes to baseball, disputes over calls at the home plate occur quite often. The umpire calls a strike, the batter says it's a ball, and an all out battle ensues. So what if there was a way to change the guessing game at home plate into an accurate call?
That's the question that real estate developer Gerald Spessard, who is also the parent of a 2006 University of Maryland graduate, asked Dr. Christopher Davis, Minta Martin Professor of Engineering in the Clark School's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Davis, whose research interests include optical systems and advanced surveillance systems, knew right away how to develop this new home plate—electronics.
Davis called on research associate John Rzasa, retired engineer Leroy Chamberlain, Jr., and aspiring optical engineer Jakob Scharmer, to join his team, and together they created an electronic home plate (EHP). The low-cost baseball home plate contains electronic and opto-electric components, and uses LED lights to detect and indicate the presence, position, and speed of a baseball passing over the plate. The EHP is unique in that not only can it detect a ball as it passes between the outer edges of the home plate but also is automatically adjusted to correspond to the knee-to-chest strike zone.
"The electronic home plate has the potential to be a game changer in baseball," said Davis. "It will also serve as a valuable training tool for pitchers and batters."
The EHP was honored at this year's University of Maryland Invention of the Year Awards, and was a runner-up in the physical science category. Since 2012, the project has received $200,000 from the university's Maryland Industrial Partnerships Program. Spessard plans to begin manufacturing the EHP this winter in Hancock, Md.

So Minnesota: Minneapolis couple's love of mini golf puts them on national stage
Updated: September 06, 2019 07:16 PM
Hockey may come to mind when you think of top sports in Minnesota.
However, the love of mini-golf put a Minneapolis couple in the national spotlight after appearing on a network TV show.
Robin Schwartzman and Tom Loftus first date was at a mini golf course and they were married on a mini-golf course.
"After we did our vows, we did a first putt together," Loftus said.
Check out more So Minnesota stories here
The couple created their own website, reviewing more than 250 mini golf courses around the world.
They both appeared on ABC's mini golf game show Holey Moley last spring.
"Being on Holy Moley was unbelievable," Loftus said.
"It was amazing," Schwartzman said. "I would do it again in a heartbeat."

This Military Wealth God made from strong bronze will last a lifetime. The Military Wealth God is very popular among tycoons and businessmen in Asia. His looks are more confident, grandeur and victorious compared to other Wealth Gods. He sits on a ferocious tiger on wealth bed, thus making him having extremely powerful command on wealth. He carries a big gold ingot and a multilevel military varja weapon. The magical varja weapon enables him to punish all evils and to destroy all ignorance that could lead to being cheated. The tiger will swallow all evils. This statue is most suitable for homes, offices & business premises. The wealth enhancer is highly recommended in the SE for those who want to seriously multiply their wealth, sales, businesses and income luck.

The Military God of Wealth (General Zhao Kong Ming) is one of the five Wealth Gods (Chai Shen Yeh) who gives powerful blessing of good fortune for those doing businesses and taking their businesses seriously. In Chinese folklore, there are five Gods of Wealth; Civil God of Wealth, Military God of Wealth, Rich God of Wealth, Righteous God of Wealth and God of Windfall. They take turns to handle financial matters among the people. The Chinese prefer the Military God of Wealth because of his confidence, grandeur and victory expression. His presence had benefitted many tycoons in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
The Military God of Wealth powerfully sits on a tiger that bows to him and a pile of wealth and has a fierce look (but calm). He carries a big gold ingot or wealth pot and his own special unique multilevel varja weapon that looks like a sword (as he used to be in the military).
The Military God of Wealth is essential for business success when carefully placed important areas. He not only create abundance in wealth, but also protect your existing wealth from being diminishing.

Note: Kindly do not play the deity statue on floors, bedrooms, kitchen and toilets.

Her college basketball career had ended 10 minutes earlier in a game that could have gone either way. But Chandler Smith didn't talk about the missed opportunities in a six-point loss Monday night to Oregon State.
Once again, Oregon State found a way – and the Gonzaga women are finding their way home after a remarkable season. In a game that wasn't decided until the final minute, the Beavers made the big plays at the end to beat the Zags 76-70 in a second-round NCAA Tournament game Monday night at Gill Coliseum.
Gonzaga expected to face some adversity Monday night. The heat in Gill Coliseum, the crowd of 8,000-plus – those were givens. But foul trouble? That wasn't in the equation, but it added up by the end of the second-round NCAA Tournament game, which Oregon State won 76-70.
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Mikayla Pivec notched a double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds as fourth-seeded Oregon State used a late run to down No. 5 seed Gonzaga 76-70 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Monday at Gill Coliseum.
No hard feelings, Gonzaga fans: Katie Baker still roots for the Zags. So does her mom, who continues to own season tickets to see the women at the Kennel. But Monday night both women will be wearing orange.
It's not about the minutes, it's what you do with them. Gonzaga reserves Melody Kempton and Louise Forsyth learned that lesson the easy way on Saturday. Now they hope to continue the trend in a second-round NCAA Tournament game Monday night at Oregon State.


At RH, they develop chairs with you – the person who will sit in them – as their starting point. They have done it like this since Rolf Holstensson started the company in 1977 in Sweden.

Clinton vows to be D.C. statehood 'champion,' blasts Trump for lack of position on voting rights
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, seen here on Capitol Hill last year, is calling for making the District the 51st state, which would give Democrats more clout in Congress. (Alex Wong/Getty Images)

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton called for making the nation's capital the country's 51st state on Wednesday, promising to be a "vocal champion" for D.C. statehood.
She blasted presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for failing to say whether D.C. residents should have the same voting rights as other Americans.
"In the case of our nation's capital, we have an entire populace that is routinely denied a voice in its own democracy. . . . Washingtonians serve in the military, serve on juries, and pay taxes just like everyone else. And yet, they don't even have a vote in Congress," Clinton wrote in an op-ed published in the Washington Informer, an African American weekly newspaper.
Clinton's piece comes about four weeks before D.C. residents go to the polls in the city's presidential primary.
The former secretary of state has voiced support for D.C. statehood in the past, and so has Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), who last year signed on as co-sponsor of a bill to make the District a state.
In a spirited speech on April 15, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser called for a vote on statehood for the District of Columbia. (DCN)
But Clinton on Wednesday for the first time framed it as a presidential election-year issue and one that could fuel partisan debate into November.
[Related: D.C. residents are fed up and want to be the 51st state]
Despite deep support for local autonomy, Republicans in Congress have said statehood for the District is a nonstarter because it would give the city's Democratic majority two seats in the Senate, potentially tipping the balance of power in the closely divided chamber for years to come.
The District plans to hold a constitutional convention next month and put the question of statehood before Congress next year, which can approve it with an up-or-down vote.
[D.C. releases draft constitution for 51st state]
The District has more residents than Vermont or Wyoming, and its residents pay more in federal taxes than those in 22 states but have no vote in Congress. Conservative members of Congress often use their authority to dictate social policy in the city by blocking locally elected officials from using local tax revenue to enact policies relating to abortion, guns and drugs.
Clinton wrote that "solidarity" with disenfranchised Democratic voters in the District was no longer enough. "We need a solution," she wrote. "That's why, as president, I will be a vocal champion for D.C. statehood."
Clinton also used the issue to knock Trump, who told The Washington Post in March that he had "no position" on the issue of D.C. statehood.
"Of course, it comes as little surprise that Donald Trump hasn't given this issue much thought," she wrote, quoting the interview, in which Trump told The Post's editorial board that "statehood is a tough thing for D.C."
"Well, I think what's been tough for the District is having virtually no say in its own affairs for decades," Clinton wrote.
The forceful op-ed could easily allow Clinton to eclipse President Obama in support for D.C. statehood.
Despite promising to fight for D.C. voting rights during his 2008 presidential campaign, Obama never took on the issue in a meaningful way, to the dismay of many African American leaders in the city.
Obama alienated some D.C. residents when in 2011 he effectively traded away the city's right to fund abortions for low-income women in a budget deal with House Republicans.
The statement from Clinton also appeared sure to embolden D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) and other longtime advocates for statehood on the eve of a showdown with Congress over the District's power to make more independent spending decisions.
For the first time this year, the city has warned it will not ask Congress for permission to spend billions of its own local tax money but instead go ahead and do so unless Congress acts to stop it.
[D.C. is about to declare it's independence — from Congress]
The insurrection marks the first serious effort to win more autonomy since the 1960s, when D.C. residents demanded home rule as part of the civil rights movement .
Some influential House Republicans have indicated they will seek to block the District's power grab and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has scheduled a hearing on the issue Thursday.

Despite glitch-filled debut, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson reportedly will bring back 'The Match'
By Matt Bonesteel
| Washington Post |
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson of the United States talk on the 11th hole during a practice round prior to the start of the 2018 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 3, 2018 in Augusta, Georgia.
There have been better debuts than "The Match," the pay-per-view golf event in which Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson squared off on the day after Thanksgiving for a $9 million prize, plus whatever they could gamble on the side. Technical glitches meant that many of those who paid the $19.95 to watch it couldn't do so, to the point where Turner Sports simply made it free for everyone and handed out refunds. The much-hyped banter between the two legends seemed forced, and as the day ground on - Mickelson won it in the dark on the 22nd hole - they weren't talking much at all.
And yet they will try again. According to Golf World's Dave Shedloski, Woods and Mickelson signed a three-year deal with Turner when they agreed to stage "The Match," meaning there likely will be other such events next year and in 2021.
And expect some other big names to join in. A source told Shedloski that it's "almost a certainty" that the event will become some sort of team competition, whether it be Woods and Mickelson joining forces against two others or Woods picking a partner to go against Mickelson and his partner.
Though official figures on the number of PPV buys have not been released, Shedloski says he's been told that nearly 1 million people ponied up for "The Match." And though Turner had to refund all that money, it still came out OK thanks to the various sponsorship agreements it had worked out.

Microsoft Outlook is one of the best Email clients ever. I have email accounts with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, my school Email and then finally work email. It would be a huge waste of time if I were to log into each one of those web based email services in order to check my Email. So I just bring all of them into my Outlook.
If you are like me and maybe wished to categorize emails based on the sender such as identifying them using a different color for a unique sender such as a Red for my manager, a pleasant pink for email from my boyfriend etc. Here, follow the methods outlined below in order to display your emails using a different color depending on the sender of the Email.
Step # 2: In the Ways to Organize Inbox section, choose Using Colors.
Here, you will find options to color messages for either incoming email messages(from) or outgoing email messages(sent to). In order to select a particular sender, just click on an email from them. Here I want to choose a color for all my FaceBook messages. So I just click on an email from FaceBook and Outlook fills out the from section for me. I then choose a color and click on Apply Color and that particular color is applied to all my emails from Facebook.
Step # 3: You can also categorize emails by color using an individual email Id too. Here, I choose [email protected] and flag it with Red color. I can choose from a list of 16 colors.
Step # 4: If you wish to further customize, you can also change the font size, the style and size of an email from a particular sender. Select Automatic Formating Box at the top right corner. Here you can select various customizations. You can set rules for Incoming messages, Submitted emails but not sent, Expired Email, Overdue email etc.


Maybe there's something beyond computation in the sense that we don't understand and we can't describe what's going on inside living systems using computation only. When we build computational models of living systems—such as a self-evolving system or an artificial immunology system—they're not as robust or rich as real living systems. Maybe we're missing something, but what could that something be?
Rodney Brooks, a computer scientists and Director of the MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, is looking for something beyond computation in the sense that we don't understand and we can't describe what's going on inside living systems using computation only. When we build computational models of living systems, such as a self-evolving system or an artificial immunology system — they're not as robust or rich as real living systems.
"Maybe we're missing something," Brooks asks, "but what could that something be?" He is puzzled that we've got all these biological metaphors that we're playing around with—artificial immunology systems, building robots that appear lifelike—but none of them come close to real biological systems in robustness and in performance. "What I'm worrying about," he says, "is that perhaps in looking at biological systems we're missing something that's always in there. You might be tempted to call it an essence of life, but I'm not talking about anything outside of biology or chemistry."

Khalid defends YWP role amidst criticism of conflict
theedgemarkets.com
June 11, 2019 17:22 pm +08
KUALA LUMPUR (June 11): The Federal Territories (FT) ministry cannot do without controversial company Yayasan Wilayah Persekutuan (YWP), said FT minister Khalid Samad today, in the latest instalment of the Rimba Kiara development saga.
Speaking to reporters, Khalid also defended his position as chairman of YWP as a mandatory requirement, as stipulated in YWP's Memorandum and Articles of Association (MAA).
"The abolition of YWP will affect the people as it is the only platform for the ministry to have welfare events in the absence of a state government," Khalid was quoted as saying.
According to the FT minister, RM12 million had been set aside for social welfare programmes this year. So far, RM2 million had been spent out of that budget. YWP's areas of focus include education, economic, social, religion and technology, according to an information sheet handed out to media.
"Future plans include proposals for international seminar on urban poverty, allocation of RM1.5 million for Tahfiz and Chinese independent schools, micro-funding for petty traders and [to] promote urban farming."
Khalid's latest defence of YWP and his role in the company comes amid persistent criticism that his chairman's role at YWP presents a conflict of interest, given he is also the FT minister.
YWP is a company limited by guarantee that was set-up in April 1986 and has no shareholders. According to Article 5 of its MAA, no part of YWP's income or assets should be paid to its board of trustee members.
The issue of conflict arose as YWP came under the spotlight for its role in the controversial Taman Rimba Kiara development, which was proposed and approved by Khalid's predecessor.
The development is a joint venture between YWP and Memang Perkasa Sdn Bhd, a unit of Malton Bhd. According to the joint venture agreement, YWP is entitled to a fixed sum of RM160 million from the project.
Part of the development plan is to provide affordable housing to 100-odd families living in the Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) longhouses near the Rimba Kiara Park.
The longhouse families were former workers of the Bukit Kiara Estate. They were relocated to the area in the early 1980s on the promise of permanent housing to follow, but efforts have not taken off in the decades since.
Local residents nearby had been protesting against the development, in particular the TTDI residents association (RA). Apart from the drastic increase in density from the scale of the proposed development, major concerns revolve around the land site being developed.
According to the TTDI RA, the 12-acre development site was at one point part of a larger tract encompassing the Rimba Kiara Park. The entire parcel was intended to be gazetted as a public space under the Kuala Lumpur Development Plan 2020.
However, land title searches found that the parcel was subsequently given a plot number and carved into two smaller parcels — one on which the Rimba Kiara Park sits and the other being the 12-acre site being developed.
In May last year, Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng lodged a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over 64 parcels of land sold by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) between 2013 and 2018, including 12 parcels that were acquired by YWP without open tender.
The 64 parcels span 424.29 acres overall, with a total transaction value of RM4.28 billion. The 12 parcels acquired by YWP totalled 12.22 ha.
In response to Lim's MACC report, Khalid said there is no need to freeze any land-related transactions by YWP, pending an investigation.
"If the intention was to freeze all transactions made through such deals, then Lim should not concentrate on YWP only. It's not fair as other companies got lands though the same procedure too," Khalid reportedly said in August 2018.
Last April, Khalid said the developers had agreed to scale down the Rimba Kiara project from eight blocks of 1,800 luxury serviced apartments, to four blocks.
Earlier today, Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh called out the conflict of interest again in a Facebook posting, noting there are new videos and public statements "almost every week" to convince the public that the scaled-down proposal is good for the public.
"This is precisely why the conflict of interest issue was raised. Why the need for special officers and special newspaper going the extra mile to defend a venture of Yayasan Wilayah Persekutuan, whose chairman is also the FT Minister?"
"I wonder if other developers in KL receive the same level of effort and resources to justify their developments?" Yeoh wrote on her Facebook page, which has over 300,000 followers.

The Green Business Decade in Review
Okay, I'll admit: The headline above is a bit of a come-on. I couldn't possibly do justice to the past 10 years' worth of green business activity – at least not in the following 1,500 or so words. But as we view the whatever-it's-called decade in the rearview mirror, it's tempting to assess what's transpired since the good old days of Y2K to see how far we've come – and how far we haven't. So, let's do that.
First, the good news: The greening of mainstream business has continued apace since the clock struck 2000, growing continually more rapidly as the decade wore on, even amid a Great Recession. The idea of green companies appears to have extended into the next concentric circle, beyond the true-blue, values-driven companies and the next tier of large leadership companies, to a third tier of companies that hadn't previously been concerned about global warming or other environmental issues. Today, it's hard to find a sizable company that isn't talking the talk and, to some degree, walking the walk. Trying to be seen as green is now more the rule than the exception.
The bar keeps rising, too: What seemed cutting-edge 10 years ago carbon neutral products and companies, zero waste factories, green chemistry, life-cycle analysis, green buildings is now mainstream, or at least warrants a so-what? response when trumpeted by companies. Things that used to make headlines or, at least, good promotional copy are now business as usual.
And each year brings about a succession of whodathunk moments: Big-bad retailers committing to green up their supply chains, big-bad auto companies committing to transforming their products and manufacturing processes, big-bad packaged goods manufacturers launching green product lines, big-bad computer makers dramatically improving energy efficiency and recyclability, big-bad food processors and fast-food chains committing to sustainable sourcing, big-bad utilities committing to energy efficiency and renewables, and many other companies – big-bad and otherwise – announcing goals, partnerships, or achievements that wouldn't have seemed likely not that long ago.
Now, the big-bad news: Most companies are engaged in green business activities in only the most superficial ways, addressing just a small portion of their operations and impacts. Few have looked holistically at what they do from an environmental perspective, let alone made bold, audacious commitments to reduce their impacts or transform their products and processes to embrace a new green ethic. While more companies are engaged than ever before, their collective efforts are barely scratching the surface.
So, while there is much to celebrate at the dawn of a new decade, there is a nagging feeling that much of this amounts to a false sense of hope that all of this good news may be too little, too late. But maybe not.
In that decidedly indecisive context, here are three reasons why I'm discouraged, and three reasons that I have great hope for the decade ahead.
1. We're not moving the needle. As I said, the sum of all this green business activity hasn't changed things much. Most global environmental indicators continue to head in the wrong direction. And where progress is evident, it isn't taking place at the scale and speed needed to address climate, water, air quality, toxicity, food security, biodiversity, and land-use challenges, among others.
Even in developed economies like the U.S. and Europe, key indicators of progress – for example, the amount of energy and water consumed or waste and pollution emitted per unit of gross domestic product has only mildly improved. In fast-growing developing economies China, India, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and others – the story, in terms of consumption and emissions trends, is frightening.
2.The public still isn't getting it. There's little sense of urgency, and for good reason: Most people on the planet are focused like a laser on getting through the day – feeding and sheltering their families, staying alive and well, finding work, maintaining basic human dignities – and have little time or interest in protecting the commons. Meanwhile, the "haves" are largely focused on keeping what they've amassed, if not adding to it, and generally can't be bothered with the greater good.
Most individuals have little understanding of the environmental impact of their lives, content to make a few simple, largely symbolic changes in their shopping or personal habits. As a result, consumer pressure on companies to transform their products and processes is relatively meek. Yes, there is a growing cadre of citizens concerned about the climate and other planetary ills, and a new generation entering the marketplace with a greater green ethic, but their power to effect change to date has been tepid at best.
3.There's little sense of urgency. In generations past, people took to the streets to protest wholesale injustices and inequities and, in the process, helped bring about sweeping changes, from the U.S. to the U.S.S.R. These masses were supported by political and business leaders who saw great opportunity in dramatic change, for both themselves and society in general. So, where are the masses marching in the streets demanding action on climate change in the name of future generations? Where is the anger over inaction on energy and climate issues – arguably among the greatest civil and human rights issues we've ever faced?
Where is the bandwagon of consumer boycotts and shareholder actions forcing companies to respond? Where are the politicians expending their political capital fighting barriers to a green economy? Why aren't the threats to our security – food security, housing security, water security, energy security, national security fomenting scores of green Manhattan and Apollo projects? Yes, there are encouraging examples of all of these things, but they are happening much too slowly and don't seem to be making much headway.
So much for the bad news. Amid all this, I'm encouraged, excited even, about where business is headed.
1.Green innovation is booming. There's a revo-lution taking place that even many of its parti-cipants can't yet see. It involves the confluence of energy, information, building, and vehicle technologies, and the promise of a wealth of impressive new goods and services. Some of these will be seen this decade in the emergence of the so-called smart grid, in which everything from appliances to automobiles are connected via two-way, always-on connections, enabling not just better management of energy resources, but an array of new capabilities that improve people's lives while reducing their impacts.
These things may not be overtly marketed as "green," but much like the iPod and iTunes, they stand to transform how we live, work, drive, and play in ways that we can't yet imagine, while vastly reducing materials and energy needs. All of this will help to transform how companies think about what they do, leading to, among other things, closed-loop systems of commerce. And it's not just about technology. Innovations in food production, apparel and footwear manufacturing, and many other industrial processes and feed stocks are advancing faster than most people recognize.
2.Companies are reinventing themselves. Largely as a result of these innovations, companies will continue to find themselves crossing sectoral lines and entering new lines of business. I wrote in 2006 about the "new energy companies," old-line companies like chemical manufacturers, auto makers, IT companies, and food processors that have found themselves in the energy business. That trend has accelerated as the aforementioned technological convergence takes shape. So, too, with green building, as I noted recently: a new wave of old-line companies are now in that sector, too.
Each of these players brings new energy and momentum to the green business arena. Meanwhile, early-stage companies are getting out of the lab and off the ground, invigorated by capital flows that, while recently slowed, are beginning to rebound. Slowly but surely, some of these innovators are going public or are being swallowed by bigger fish, extending their capabilities and reach.
3.Sustainability is becoming about more than just the environment. This is long overdue. One of the more frustrating trends of the past decade was the conflating of "green" with "sustain-ability." The latter, of course, means much more than environmental responsibility, though you wouldn't know that listening to most corporate marketers and PR firms, which treated the two terms as one and the same.
But that's changing. The social side of sustainability a broad swath of topics including working conditions, community impacts, human rights, product safety, access to education and health care, increased opportunity for all, and more – is beginning to be considered by some large companies. It is showing up in corporate "responsibility" reports, of course, but also in the design and delivery of products and services for the poor, both in developed and developing countries. It is showing up in corporate concerns over obesity, product safety, access to clean water, and dozens of other things.
Some of the companies involved were dragged to these issues by activists, but that's how many of today's environmental leaders were born companies like Nike, McDonald's, Starbucks, Home Depot, and others. To be sure, the social side of sustainability remains early stage, but the trends are encouraging.
At the end of the day – and the decade – how does all of this stack up? I won't venture to say. There are too many unknowables that could help or hinder the shift to greener companies and economies: the vagaries of world economics, rapid technological developments, dramatic political shifts, fast-emerging impacts of climate change, roller-coaster oil prices, natural disasters, populist movements, and many others.
One thing is certain about the green business decade before us: It will be at least as interesting as the one just passed. Whether that's a good thing or not remains to be seen.
