New Release: Almost a Bride (Destination Love #2) by Jo Watson + Teaser, Excerpt, and GIVEAWAY
The excerpt I'm sharing today for Almost a Bride is priceless. Seriously, I laughed so hard from this one little bit… I can't wait to read the book!
Almost a Bride (Destination Love #2) by Jo Watson
**Newly revised and expanded, Wattpad sensation Jo Watson's ALMOST A BRIDE is now available in print for the first time!**
That awkward moment you catch your boyfriend in bed with another woman and then mistakenly get arrested #chargesdropped
Annie knows life isn't always fair. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes you get mistaken for a crazed intruder when you come home early and find your boyfriend wearing nipple clamps with a coworker on the night you thought he was going to propose to you.
The important thing is to move on, and for Annie that means treating herself to a tropical vacation. But when she runs into her ex and his new woman staying at the same resort, reason is washed out to sea. Caught off guard, Annie pretends she's with Chris, a cute screenwriter she meets on the beach. With his own writing blocked, Chris is happy to help Annie craft a story to save face. Soon Annie isn't just getting over her ex, she's getting under Chris. As her fictional feelings grow increasingly real, Annie has to decide if she's ready to risk her heart on a new relationship.
I knew something was wrong the second I walked up to my front door.
Call it intuition. Call it a sixth sense. But I just knew.
I blame the shoes. The shoes were undoubtedly the cause of all the problems that day. It was the shoes' fault that I came home early, and the shoes' fault I was fired.
I suppose I can't blame the shoes for making me late, though — that was the alarm clock's fault for rudely deciding not to do its job. And when I finally realized, through the thick haze of sleepiness, that it hadn't gone off, it was too late. I was already late for work. And when I say work, I mean my brand-new job—job of my dreams—as a fashion assistant at Glamorous Girl mag.
I'd just made a total career change, leaving behind a successful job as a stylist in advertising to pursue a job in the magazine industry. It was early days, so I was still desperately trying to impress by being perfect, polite, and oh so obliging. Whether it was the request for the latte to be served at 97.7 degrees with no sugar, soy milk froth, and a sprinkling of organic cocoa powder flown in directly from the foothills of the Andes. Or whether it was for the jasmine-and-lavender-scented candles to be burned in the office for exactly ten minutes before my boss arrived—that was me.
Little Miss Annie Obliging.
Because let's face it, the word assistant is just a glammed-up euphemism for slave. But I was ambitious and determined, so when I realized I wouldn't be able to attend to the scented candles, or fetch the latte, I panicked. So much so, that I left the house without the said troublemaking, life-ruining, world-annihilating shoes.
Let's take a moment to talk about the shoes. They weren't ordinary shoes, oh no, they were none other than the just-off-the-Paris-catwalk-and-not-for-sale-to-mere-mortals-yet Christian Louboutins. They also happened to be the centerpieces for that day's shoot.
The same rushed panic that had caused me to forget the shoes in the first place had also left me with barely enough time to scrape my hair back into a casual bun and slip on a creased T-shirt and pair of jeans from my floor.
The latter is a bigger sin than you think. Because where I work, wearing anything other than the most fashionable apparel is sacrilege. People practically throw holy water at you and start wailing in Latin for fear that you've been possessed by the demon of bad fashion. In fact, a real demon possession, complete with a backward-rolling head and the ability to speak in tongues, would be preferable to the demon of last season's handbag and Crocs sandals.
So when I finally got to work, underdressed, out of breath, without the shoes, and over an hour late, I was in serious trouble. My boss was throwing a hissy fit, due to lack of flowery scents in her office, and her personal assistant Cedric was in the throes of an overly dramatic caffeine withdrawal, due to lack of latte.
And it kept getting worse.
Two hours later the panicky fashion director summoned the Louboutins. Those shoes had been troublemakers from the start. It had been an absolute trauma getting them in the first place. They'd been flown into South Africa late the previous night, and I'd been tasked with collecting them. Everyone was holding their collective breath for the grand arrival. So when I was forced to confess to their absence…well, you can only imagine.
When lunch finally arrived, I jumped into my car and sped home.
I had exactly one hour to get in and out before the photo shoot, more than enough time.
I pulled into my driveway at breakneck speed, ran for the front door, slipped my house keys into the lock, and turned—
Something made me stop.
Something told me not to go inside.
Something was very wrong.
I looked around nervously. Everything seemed normal. Peter across the road was blasting his TV as usual, the ratbag Chihuahua from number 45 was running up and down the garden perimeter yapping at an unseen force, and Mildred, my neighbor, was outside watering her hydrangeas.
So why was I hesitating?
I took a deep breath and inched the door open.
Nothing looked out of place.
Everything was exactly the way I'd left it.
Yet everything felt wrong.
I slunk down the hallway toward the kitchen, where I knew I'd find the shoes perched next to the coffeepot. But once inside, I was hit by a terribly eerie sensation…someone was in the house. A shiver licked the length of my spine when my suspicions were confirmed. Creeeeaaakkk…A noise was coming from my bedroom directly above me.
Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, there was an intruder in the house!
I launched myself at the cutlery drawer, grabbing the largest knife I could find while simultaneously dialing the police and still managing to hold on to the shoes for dear life.
"Police! Help, there's an intruder in my house. Forty-Seven Mendelssohn Road, Oaklands. Quick."
Now what? I'd never been in a situation like this before. What was the correct protocol? Should I hide, evacuate the house, attack the intruder, scream loudly? Or perhaps a combination of the above? I thought for a second before deciding to get the f*ck out of there! But just as I had one foot safely installed outside the front door, I heard another noise. This time it was different. It was…
It sounded like…
My blood ran cold.
But it couldn't be. Trevv was at work. Trevv had a very important day in court, he told me. His client's final hearing was today. Right now, in fact. I'd called him from my office about an hour ago and he'd told me he was in court.
He was in court, dammit!
I started climbing the stairs.
More noises.
Two voices?
But that was impossible…wasn't it?
The noises grew louder and louder the farther up the stairs I went. I'm not really sure at what point I knew what the noises were or knew what I was going to see when I opened the door. But I just knew.
It's one thing walking in on your boyfriend having sex with another woman, but it's another thing entirely walking in on him the second the other woman is coming. She was facing the door but was bouncing up and down so vigorously that her face was a blur. And then suddenly her body stiffened, she threw her head back, opened her mouth, and let out a high-pitched wail. As if that wasn't self explanatory enough, she decided to toss in a few words for good
"Yes, Trevvy, yes. Oh my God, oh my God, oh Trevvy. Harder! Ah, ah, ah." *Pant, pant, pant* "I'm coming!" *Long high-pitched scream*
Now…there were several things wrong with this picture, aside from the obvious. Firstly, who the hell screams like that in bed? No one does! Sex is not so good that you have to break the sound barrier with your squealing dolphin sounds. Secondly, what the hell was she wearing? She was clad in some kind of leathery studded number that looked like it had been worn by one of the Village People. And to make matters worse, Trevv was blindfolded with the tie that I had bought him two Christmases ago and…OH MY GOD…were those, were those…nipple clamps?
I felt sick to my stomach.
And thirdly, who was this mystery woman without an ounce of cellulite, without the slightest smidge of fat, and with boobs that seemed to defy all known natural laws of gravity and motion? Which woman can be that damn perfect…
…and then her features came into focus and the answer dawned on me.
Tess.
Tess Blackman.
My boyfriend's "coworker." The woman I'd invited into my home on several occasions for dinner. The woman that I always phoned when I couldn't get hold of Trevv, because I knew they were probably together working on a case, tired and exhausted and burning the midnight oil when they'd rather be at home with their significant others. She had a fiancé after all.
Poor overworked Trevv and Tess.
God, I was naive.
But the show didn't end there. Tess's eyes were still closed when Trevv started making some delightful grunting-moaning-squeaking sounds. He'd never made sounds like that with me before. His sweaty hands reached up and grabbed at her hungrily.
Faster.
Loud, long moan.
I was frozen. It's hard to know what to do when you watch your partner of two years with his penis somewhere you wouldn't even like to imagine, let alone witness in full blinding daylight.
Once all their postcoital panting had tapered off, Tess opened her eyes and saw me standing in the doorway. The look on her face was indescribable. Shock and horror and fear all at the same time. And then she opened her mouth and screamed.
Trevv then turned his head toward the door and whipped off his blindfold. Our eyes locked and then he did something truly bizarre. Unexpected. He grabbed Tess by the hand and dragged her to the other side of the bed.
"Anne, please…you don't want to do this." Trevv threw his hands in the air defensively. He looked terrified. She was bleating hysterically by this stage.
What was going on? Wasn't I the jilted one? Wasn't I the one that was supposed to be upset? I started walking toward them, which seemed to only make matters worse.
"Anne, please. Please." He seemed to be begging now. "Think about what you're doing. I know this is bad, but this isn't the way to handle it. Please don't do this."
Things happened pretty quickly after that. Suddenly, the room was filled with armed police officers. I was about to tell them they could all go home, when Trevv cut me off.
"She has a knife. She's going to kill us!" he shouted, pointing at me. What knife? I glanced at my hands, and that's when I realized I was still holding the large knife, and it was pointed in their direction.
I quickly turned to explain. "I wasn't going to—"
"Ma'am…" One of the police officers cut me off and started creeping toward me as if I was a feral pit bull that hadn't eaten in a week.
"Put down your weapon."
"I swear, this isn't what you think, I was just trying to—"
BAM! Face on floor, handcuffs around wrists.
Three really painful things happened at that point: One, the knife slipped and cut the entire length of my palm. Two, some of my newly acquired, gorgeous nails snapped off. And three, the crystal-encrusted, six-inch heel of the priceless Louboutin snapped off, rolled across the floor lifelessly, and disappeared under the bed.

Forex buying and selling is fairly various than buying and selling on the U.S. Inventory Market. This can be both a good and poor factor, depending on how ready you are. If you are currently a seasoned forex trader, you'll well know that preparation is much more than fifty percent the fight won. Looking at forex software program to assist you is intelligent, but with all the choices on the marketplace, how do you know which software program to purchase? This is where forex buying and selling reviews can come into play.
The pairing technique, also recognized as straddle, enables you to place both the choices discussed over on a trade. Let us suppose that you have chosen a "call option" on an asset that is anticipated to expire in an hour. After thirty minutes, the cost of the asset goes up quickly. At this stage, the price is likely to reduce quickly so you may choose to place a "put choice" and the amount should be the exact same. The "put choice" ought to be based on the asset price at the time of placing the choice, not at the beginning cost. This will expire one of the choices "in the cash". This will increase your earnings and minimize your losses.
Look on-line. Sure this is the best location to look for critiques. Nevertheless, let's be much more specific right here. The very best forex broker critiques are not listed out there on a bulletin board for you to arrive and unpin them and take them house. Look for reviews that are being recommended by other amateur traders as well as the types becoming endorsed by veteran agents. The forex is expert option safe that get the backing of both these niches is the 1 you require to begin studying.
Go to the trading middle. Right here you will see all the shares that are accessible for buying and selling their expiry day. Most times inventory expire in 1 hour, so your trade expire in an hour and you can cash in on your profit at the end of that period.
Are you looking at purchasing foreign exchange software but are having a tough time choosing which one would be most appropriate for yout? With so many accessible it can appear like an not possible job to discover exactly what you require. But don't despair.
So what are binary options and how do they vary from normal Foreign exchange trading? Well, on the most fundamental degree, options trading is precisely how it seems. There are two options, either the currency goes up or down. You open up a place by guessing which path it will go.
Options trading may be the newest factor in the marketplace, but it is not right for everybody. If you are a person who likes instant gratification and relatively smaller profits, then it may be a area worth examining out.

New Delhi: PM has approved his appointment for a period of two years. Delhi Police chief Alok Verma was named as the next head of the Central Bureau of Investigation or CBI today for a two-year term.
The selection comes in the wake of a huge controversy over the appointment of Gujarat officer RK Asthana as the acting chief of the agency in December, which was challenged in court by lawyer-activist Prashant Bhushan.
A three-member committee led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had met earlier this week to choose the next chief of the CBI. At the meeting, Mr Verma had got two of the three votes — that of PM Modi and Chief Justice of India JS Khehar.
The Congress, whose leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge was the third member of the committee, had supported RK Dutta – a former CBI officer — for the post, citing Mr Verma's lack of experience in the CBI and in anti-corruption units.
In his petition, Mr Bhushan had supported Mr Dutta's candidature, saying he was the most qualified officer, given his vast experience in handling anti-corruption units.
Mr Dutta had been given charge of a financial terrorism unit in the Home Ministry. The government had said he was too senior to head the CBI and deserved a special pay grade.
Mr Verma, a 1979 batch IPS officer of the AGMUT (Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territory) cadre, is known to maintain a low profile. He had replaced BS Bassi as the police chief in February 2016, after serving as the Director General of Delhi's Tihar jail.

You know when a racehorse gets really old and you keep it around because it used to be a champ? It owes you some good times but in a purely practical sense it's an old, lazy nag who bites and won't let anyone ride anymore and needs to be taken out into the back paddock and left to its dotage in peace?
I couldn't help thinking as much while watching a slow-moving, grizzled, mumbling Harrison Ford amble aimlessly through this film. In one way it's perfect casting – he plays a former hard-hitting news reporter reduced to appearing on a sudsy morning show full of celebrity puff pieces and fairy floss because of a contract loophole. He grumbles his way through the preparation and taping, making life hell for his co-anchor (Keaton) and incoming executive producer Becky (McAdams) who's faced with her big chance. It seems the perfect metaphor for Ford's career in general.
Fortunately it's McAdams' show as the plucky morning show producer given the job nobody wants tries to revive a dying morning talk show. She ropes Pomeroy (Ford) in and tries her damndest to get the ratings up but his prickly reticence is making her job all the more difficult.
There are some good scenes that seem to show the machinations of modern TV quite realistically, and McAdams' bubbly personality keeps things buoyant, but none of it can escape the fluffy premise. Like Ford's character it wants to be serious and authoritative, but can't escape the rom-com trappings. And there wasn't one single joke about early morning erections.

Beltane . . .
Apr 26, 2020 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
—From EF—
In a week, Beltane is coming, whether we like it or not. The sap of spring is running full, the blossoms are bursting, the bees are busy (thank you!) and the weeds are at eye level. We are sheltering in place, but Gaia is relentless in connecting us all.
What is Beltane? It's one of the old celebrations, one of the cross-quarters that come between the stately equinoxes and solstices. The others are Lammas, the harvest feast, the thanksgiving for the year's tilling; Samhain, the time when the ancestors are honored; Imbolg, Brigid's feast, the time to acknowledge what you are pregnant with; and now Beltane, the time when everything calls for connection. Sexual, yes, but way beyond that.
And now we must not touch, other than those to whom we are already committed. Conrad and I are embracing more than ever, and this is good, but when a dear friend comes over for a backyard six-foot visit, I feel keenly the embrace that cannot happen. And with Beltane imminent I am reminded of the power I have felt in group celebration, what happens when people focus their energies, raise them to peak, and open them to those in their circle.
You don't have to be a neopagan to know this. You feel it when the church choir rips off a good one, when the concert generates a mosh pit you can't resist, when the home team makes the final score, or now, when you go outside at 8 pm and howl. It's why people weep for joy at weddings. Humans need to open wide and share the current, and Zoom doesn't quite do it.
For a time we were part of a really good Moon circle. We came from different traditions, but we were all adults and knew how to raise energy together. Our focus was mostly on healing, and we did some remarkable things. I miss it keenly, most of all because it had given me a way to contribute something communally.
And that's what I also grieve deeply for: no longer being able to perform for an audience, the deep current that was my sustaining power for most of my life. It may come again or it may not—change happens—but it was my most powerful way of giving. When you are in the presence of a group of people who become in an instant connected and whole, when everyone is breathing together and feels that brush of light, that is nectar.
We must invent new ways until our old ways can return. Think ahead to Beltane. Prepare. Bring to mind those who have helped you feel most alive, most connected. Prepare a time when you can sit quiet and bring those thoughts together. If you could write a thank-you note to everyone you ever loved, what would it say? In these times of rage and division, let your love run free, let its lavish waters burst the banks, and celebrate connection.

Best Place
Vegetarian Restaurants in Sydney Australia
Sydney / September 13, 2019
Australia is such a vast country that writing an article about the best veggie hotspots would only offer the thinnest insight into the food scene here. Most visitors tend to stick to the ever-popular East Coast, which stretches from Cairns down to Melbourne. While not the capital, Sydney is indisputably the business and tourism hub of Australia: almost all visitors will find themselves here at one point, and the city has as many exciting food options as you'd expect.
The appreciation for vegetarian food in Australia was not, on the whole, as prevalent as in other countries I'd visited (many people I encountered seemed to genuinely think I only ate vegetables), but there is still a growing vegetarian movement here. While there might not be as many veggie restaurants as you'll find in the UK or US, Sydney and much of New South Wales excel at the vegetarian brunch in particular.
The outdoors lifestyle here lends itself perfectly to a sun-soaked brunch, and in all honesty every breakfast I had in Sydney was excellent. This was probably at least partly due to the abundance of halloumi cheese on the menu - something I've pined for on my travels but which proved elusive in most places. Australia's significant Greek/Cypriot population means that halloumi is everywhere.
Two of the best breakfasts I had were in Cronulla, a laidback beach community south of the city center. Surfeit Deli Cafe served up the pinnacle of what I came to regard as the staple Sydney veggie brunch: poached eggs, roasted tomato, creamy avocado, crispy hash browns, wilted spinach and perfectly grilled halloumi that squeaks as you chew; a delectable -and protein-packed - start to the day.
The other breakfast standout was Blackwood Pantry. Located on Surf Lane, this trendy new cafe is most famous for their photogenic coconut hotcakes, which taste just as good as they look. Smothered with fresh blueberries, pomegranate, passionfruit curd and sliced coconut, they're a must-try for any visitor. The cafe recommends sharing one after your meal, but it would be a shame to go halves on something this delicious.
For something a bit more glamorous, head to Mr. Wong. Sprawled over two levels and located a stone's throw from the bustling harbour and Sydney Opera House, this 240-seater restaurant is regularly voted one of the best in the city. While Cantonese food isn't generally the most vegetarian-friendly cuisine, enough people recommended Mr Wong to make me think I'd be missing out if I didn't visit - and I was interested in scoping out the meat-free options at one of the city's top restaurants.
The vegetarian dishes here were exceptional: stir-fried snow peas, snap peas and broccoli with garlic and rice wine, lightly fried original tofu with vegetarian XO sauce and tamari soy, and best of all - very unexpectedly - was the stir- fried sweet corn and baby corn with chilli, lime leaf and tamari butter.
Other than Sydney, one of the most visited places on the East Coast is Byron Bay. The popularity of Byron Bay transcends age, geography and culture; it's one of those places that's just as popular with backpackers and surfers as the elite. The hippie, haute-boho vibe means that vegetarian options are plentiful, but one of the best is Elements of Byron, where you can find the superb Graze Restaurant.
With a strong focus on eco-conscious food, Graze serves up seasonal, regional cuisine with complex and well-thought out vegetarian options. The leek and ricotta open ravioli, with lemon beurre blanc, truffle foam and fragrant hints of rosemary was mouthwatering; I was also impressed that instead of parmesan grated on top (which contains animal rennet) it was egg yolk confit.
The burrata in the sun-dried tomato salad at Graze was also outstanding - a few gentle pokes of my knife into the rind led to a gentle outpouring of exquisite creaminess. It was quite startling to eat the best burrata of my life in Australia instead of Italy, but I later learned that it's made locally by an Italian man a few miles away. Can there be a more decadent cheese?
A few hours north of Byron Bay is the upscale beach town of Noosa Heads. Noosa is considered the Australian Hamptons, and with some of the best surf on the East Coast it's become rather a travel hotspot. It's a mecca for luxury-seekers and celebrities, and the world-class restaurants here are a reflection of its cosmopolitan clientele.
Best for a gourmet vegetarian meal is the renowned Noosa Beach House, which has Australian TV personality Peter Kuruvita as head chef. While Noosa is most famous for its seafood and menus everywhere are pretty fish-centric, at Noosa Beach House I enjoyed what for vegetarians is one of the rare holy grails of fine dining: a six course degustation menu - all meat-free!

This lacquered wood stationery box features the distinctive motifs of artist Rex Ray.
These hand-crafted boxes are produced using the centuries old tradition of hand pouring several layers of lacquer. Each layer is individually hand polished, taking several days, to create the unique, deep, rich finish which is impervious to heat and alcohol. The fine patina, created through this hand-crafted process, will give you years of enjoyment.

Physicians have used cannulas to inject fillers as an alternative to needles.
Blunt-tip cannulas prevent the pricking on the veins. In addition, it is found that cannulas are more effective and safer for some patients. In one study, it is found that microcannulas lessened the incidence of tissue injury (Salti and Rauso, 2015). Dr. Sabine Zenker presents her techniques in using cannulas on the sagged lateral cheek areas and lips.
Many physicians have used the same method as cannulas have been seen as more effective and safer compared to needles. The author's techniques are limited to the upper lateral and the lips.
Their technique for the lateral cheek is gentle molding, which would give an optimal result. The author recommends a linear threading method proceeding with a fan-shape that would help with cannulating from the entry point, the Zygomatic Arch.
As for the lips, the Zenker addresses it with "multiple boli" starting from the center eventually going laterally. In enhancing the lips, a lateral technique is also utilized. Thread volume is little, which allows correcting of the lips. The author reminds that there is a risk of overcorrection in this area.
So how else have authors used cannulas in their studies?
The authors have presented some cannulation techniques and recommendations on how to administer these injections. With cannulas, downtime has lessened significantly (Luthra, 2015). In addition, the author noted that patients returned for augmentation or enhancing procedures.
According to Arsiwala, when injecting with large-volume fillers, a cannula is more effective as opposed to the traditional needle. In Hedén's (2016) study, which focuses on the nose, cannulas that are 25-G or wider lessens any risk to the vessel, in addition using thin cannulas reduces risk with intra-arterial injection. Montes, Wilson, Chang, and Percec (2016) recommend using a cannula for the upper eyelid to achieve ideal results.
Loghem, Yutskovskaya, and Werschler (2015) focuses on the danger zones and injection areas for cannulas. The authors suggest a multi-level approach (linear threading) when doing a brow lift and to avoid overcorrection to look masculine. In line with Zenker's work, the researchers suggest to utilize a two-point cannula method when approaching the Zygomatic area.


Census is the systematic approach to acquire and record the information about the members of human population. It is a regular process to occur frequently for official counting of population. You will find in the Censuses Homework Help that the term censuses generally arise to indicate national population and housing.
The other meanings of censuses are related to agriculture, business and traffic. The United Nations has urged that population censuses should take place at least in every ten years. It was also recommended by the United Nations that the topics should be collected, well-defined officially and clarified to complete the task to achieve international practice level.
The modern censuses are used in the research, business marketing and planning also.
The censuses present a baseline for the design of the sample surveys by simply providing sample frames.
Stratification needs different data on the sizes of various population strata which is also derived from census.
You will see in the Censuses Homework Help those censuses often present an official count which helps in the calculation of the number of elected representatives to regions.
Census has the common intention to count everyone but the sampling calculates a fraction of the targeted population.
Population censuses depend on the sampling frame to count the population as because this has been noticed to be the only valid strategy to include everyone in the list.
The fundamental idea which you will find in the Censuses Assignment Help of census presents the views on the unknown facts about the current population whereas the sampling framework suggests a known data on the population.
The sampling frame which is applied by the census is definitely an address register. It is by this register that the counting of each household are completed with the valid information on the residents.
There is a particular problem which is faced by the census and that is the communal establishments where we see student residences, religious orders, homes for the elder people, people in the prison etc. We see different methods are applied to handle these residences.

Halloween night is drawing near and the race is on to find unique, infant Halloween costumes. We said our less than fond farewells to those smothering plastic masks that were once included in even the most cool costumes for kids. This in itself is a big improvement as it is difficult for even the most carefully Trick or Treaters to have a good time when they are perspiring and uncomfortable. And when it comes to baby's first time out, they have a way of development their misery known. The best idea is to manufacture Halloween outfits for infants that are not irritating to sensitive skin for the best chance of a pleasant night of Trick or Treating for the whole family.
Many modern infant Halloween costumes are nothing else but embellished, sleepers with hoods that are decorated to seem favorite characters from television, the newest kids' movie or out of storybooks. Not only are they stylish, they are cute, and cuddly and easy to slip on and off in case of an emergency diaper change. For the house on a tight budget, baby's pajamas or a footed sleeper might be all the Halloween costume that is important for baby so long as you add a miniature bit of ornamental face and an accessory or two.
Carefully go for baby safe paints that are water based and specifically designed for use on sensitive skin. Look for an indication on the containers that indicates that the paint is Fda beloved for use on infants. When painting designs on a baby's skin, there is a greater danger of an allergic reaction than there might be when face painting on older children, so you might want to do a test on a tiny spot a few days before Halloween and even then keep the size and amount of your designs to a minimum.
Another caution that I would share is to use a brush with baby soft bristles or a cotton swab that won't scratch or irritate.
Whether baby's first infant Halloween costume is a baby bunny outfit, a kitty cat costume or a puppy dog, a few tiny whiskers or a paw print painted on baby's cheek will be sufficient. If you naturally must take it a step further, you may want to paint the very end of baby's nose pink for the bunny and kitten costume or black for the puppy costume. If you have more than one child get all the kids in on the fun! dispose for an whole house of kittens or puppies to go from house to house shouting Trick or Treat!
To big kids, the idea of being painted up like miniature Frankenstein or ghouls and zombies with solid green faces is irresistible. However, I would say that it would be a huge mistake to paint a baby's face solid white to look like a ghost. The best advice I can give for a thriving Halloween costume for babies is to keep it simple.
The odds are that the excitement of baby's first Halloween will be as exhausting for baby as it was enjoyable for the adults. When the festivities are over, you will be left with a tired baby and a Halloween costume that has to be removed. At this stage, you will recognize the wisdom of holding the amount of face paint and clothing that has to be removed to a minimum was a super plan. Sometimes a quick way to wind down the activities can be just as prominent as designing baby's first Halloween costume.

The Rights of Indigenous Peoples
Americans generally view human rights abuses as problems that happen elsewhere. The drama surrounding Chen Guangcheng's escape from house arrest and flight to the American Embassy in Beijing this past week--complete with front-page coverage in American newspapers--underscores the standard narrative that, when it comes to human rights, the United States is a beacon of hope in a dark world. As a New York Times editorial put it yesterday, "We have little doubt of the Americans' commitment to Mr. Chen's safety and his cause." And as if that weren't enough, the Times reminded its readers that "this episode is first and foremost an embarrassment for China and a glaring reminder of its abysmal mistreatment of its own citizens."
The Times' editorial board probably got it right about Chen and the American commitment to the cause of human rights in China, even if that commitment does sometimes give way before other considerations in the Sino-American relationship. From what I can tell, however, the New York Times has not reported anywhere in its pages the conclusions of James Anaya regarding the failures of the United States to respect the rights articulated in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Anaya is the special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples. His mandate, renewed by the UN Human Rights Council in 2007, is primarily to "gather information on alleged violations of the rights of indigenous peoples" and forward recommendations to the UN on means of remedying those violations. At the conclusion of a twelve-day fact-finding trip in the United States, Anaya stated that "it is evident that more robust measures are needed to address the serious issues affecting Native American, Alaska Native and Hawaiian peoples in the United States, issues that are rooted in a dark and complex history whose legacies are not easy to overcome."
Although his formal recommendations have not yet been drafted, Anaya suggested that lands taken from Native Americans should, in some cases, be restored. The Black Hills of South Dakota, the ancestral home of the Oglala Sioux, were specifically mentioned. "I'm talking," he said, "about restoring to indigenous peoples what obviously they're entitled to and they have a legitimate claim to in a way that is not divisive but restorative."
Official policies toward Native Americans were shameful in the nineteenth century (as when the U.S. Congress in 1877 passed a law unilaterally reversing concessions made to the Oglala Sioux in an 1868 treaty), but they haven't been much better in the twenty-first century. Many Native American communities suffer from poverty, unemployment, suicide, and alcoholism rates that far outpace national averages. The reasons are not hard to see. From the perspective of those outside the United States, the fundamental problem is a long history of human rights abuse.

PENAL INSTITUTIONS Pardons and Paroles: Provide Notice Requirement for Release of Sexual Offenders
Pam CorleyFollow
Peach Sheet
The Act requires that as a condition of parole a person who has been convicted of certain sexual offenses give notice of his or her release to the superintendent of the public school district and the sheriff of the county where the parolee will reside. The Act also requires the sheriff of each county to maintain a register of the names and addresses of these parolees keep the register open for public inspection.
Pam Corley, PENAL INSTITUTIONS Pardons and Paroles: Provide Notice Requirement for Release of Sexual Offenders, 11 Ga. St. U. L. Rev. (1994).


Why would a progressive activist like Steve Marchand be part of an award for Donald Trump? Marchand said on WMUR Tuesday night that he found out "at the last minute" that Trump was among the recipients and promptly resigned fro the No Labels organization.
"I did not get paid at the end because Donald Trump does not represent anything remotely non-partisan," Marchand said.
"In October of 2015. there was a No Labels event in which everyone from Bernie to Kasich to Trump attended. There were no endorsements or seal of approvals given at that event.
In January, NL offered a "Seal of Approval" to any presidential candidate who would agree to a series of policy goals.
Steve did not attend the January event and was not a participant in it. He had expressed his grave concerns about Donald Trump receiving any positive recognition. Once Steve learned that Trump was going to recieve this seal of approval, he refused to attend and disassociated himself from the organization.
And, in fact, WMUR had the story wrong. The "problem solver" designation wasn't an award at all. Every candidate who signed off on the "No Labels Problem Solver Promise' guidelines got the designation. In January 2016, that included Republicans Dr. Ben Carson, Gov. Chris Christie, Gov. John Kasich, Sen. Rand Paul and Donald Trump; and Democrat Gov. Martin O'Malley.
Former GOP Utah Governor (and current U.S. Ambassador to Russia) Jon Huntman went out of his way to make it clear that the "Problem Solver" designation was not an endorsement.
"We are not endorsing anyone," he said. "This is not a seal of approval. The candidates are simply accepting what we have defined as a process for problem-solving and leadership. After all the name-calling and nastiness, someone is going to have to get something done for the country," Huntsman told the Union-Leader.
And while the No Labels group did gather in Manchester in January 2016 to announce the candidates who signed off on their "promise," none of the candidates–including Donald Trump–showed up.
So Steve Marchand's claim that he refused to attend the January event is misleading. It was just a press conference with former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman and the bipartisan No Labels organization. He couldn't snub Trump because Trump wasn't there.
No, the only opportunity Steve Marchand had to turn his back on Donald Trump came a few months earlier at the "No Labels" convention in Manchester, when Donald Trump gave a speech to a packed house at the Radisson. That's when Steve Marchand could have shown his outrage by staying home.
Hey….who's that getting up in the front row at the end of Donald Trump's speech?
Marchand didn't march out in disgust. He didn't speak out in opposition. He didn't skip the event in protest. No, he sat through Trump's entire speech.
In 2015, Steve Marchand was working for centrist "No Labels" when Donald Trump addressed their convention.
Marchand was on the front row.
So while he was at the building, attending the event and working for the hosting organization, the person in the video above, Marchand says, is not him.
And then there's Marchand's work on the Concord Coalition, which for years has advocated cutting current Social Security benefits, along with other fiscally-conservative measures.
In the 2008 Democratic primary for president, with candidates like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the ballot, "committed progressive" Steve Marchand backed moderate New Mexico governor Bill Richardson.
How did Steve Marchand go from a "Concord Coalition/No Labels" moderate attending Donald Trump events and praising Mike Huckabee to a liberal firebrand who support unlimited, taxpayer-funded abortion for minor children without their parents' knowledge or consent; and local, income-based taxes in New Hampshire?
That's a question primary voters may want to answer before Tuesday.

Indestructible è il sesto album dei Rancid, pubblicato il 19 agosto 2003.

Il disco
Il disco segna un ritorno del gruppo, ripercorrendo tutte le sonorità già sperimentate nei precedenti lavori: dallo ska di Red Hot Moon all'hardcore di "Out of control". Come è loro abitudine, anche in Indestructible, le canzoni sono ispirate da avventure ed esperienze personali (basti pensare alla tragica "Otherside", dedicata al fratello scomparso di Lars, o a "Tropical London", che parla della separazione di Tim Armstrong dalla moglie Brody Dalle) o, come sempre scritte in viaggio lungo l'America ("Memphis")

The Deputy National Chairman of the APC, Segun Oni, has provided what appears a first formal reaction of the party to the stance of a serving minister declaring support for another presidential candidate in 2019.
The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Aisha Alhassan, shocked many Nigerians when a video surfaced on Tuesday showing the minister as declaring support for a former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, for the 2019 presidential election.
PREMIUM TIMES reported how in a separate interview with the BBC Hausa service, the minister said she would support Mr. Abubakar even if President Muhammadu Buhari chooses to run.
The statement by Mrs. Alhassan, who described Mr. Abubakar as her godfather, has drawn mixed reactions from Nigerians.
In his reaction, Mr. Oni expressed shock over the decision.
"I am surprised that it happened in the first instance, but that is for the President and the party to talk about it at the appropriate time," he said.
Mr. Alhassan, who also said President Buhari had said he would not contest in 2019, was at the presidential villa on Thursday, where she told journalists that she stood by her statements.
The minister confirmed to journalists that she did not see the president with presidency sources saying she had a meeting with Mr. Buhari's Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.


During the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association's recent 50th anniversary celebration, \Quail Forever signed a formal partnership agreement with NAVHDA. As a result of the alliance, NAVHDA will help fund the organization's Hunting Heritage Program Manager position, participate together in "Learn-to-Hunt" and bird dog-related events, and help engage more people in habitat conservation and dog training.
"Bird dogs and habitat conservation go together like peanut butter and jelly. We've worked with the folks at NAVHDA for decades and they've always understood the connection between our habitat mission and successful outings with bird dogs. This new agreement is the natural evolution of two groups who understand they share mutual goals for the future," explained Rich Wissink, Quail Forever's vice president of education and outreach.
Through the mutually understood connection between hunters buying licenses and funding for wildlife habitat conservation, the new partnership centers around the Hunting Heritage Manager position. This employee serves as Quail Forever's lead for recruiting, retaining and reactivating hunters through the development of content, organization of events, and cultivation of mentors. In addition, NAVHDA will be providing dog training content for the Quail Forever website, will be helping to promote membership in the conservation organization, will be receiving advertising in the organization's publications, will be exhibiting at National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic, and will be participating in the annual Bird Dogs for Habitat campaign. Bird Dogs for Habitat occurs every April and engages the organization's online followers in a fundraising campaign centered around a bird dog breed popularity contest. With NAVHDA's dog-loving membership, the intersection between habitat, hunting and bird dogs is natural.
"We are excited to join forces with Quail Forever to support the growth of hunting heritage programs and habitat conservation. Hunting dogs hold a special place in our hearts and often open avenues for new hunters to quickly connect to the traditions we cherish. NAVHDA is proud to support Quail Forever by providing on-the-ground support with bird dog related events and habitat conservation," added David Trahan, NAVHDA's President.
The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) is a nonprofit organization with over 7400 members and 88 chapters spread across the United States and Canada. NAVHDA's purpose is to foster, promote, and improve the versatile hunting dog breeds in North America. NAVHDA recognizes 30 different pointing dog breeds and offers local hunt tests throughout the year to help evaluate versatile hunting dog characteristics for both upland and waterfowl hunting. Over its fifty-year history, NAVHDA has grown to be the largest versatile hunting dog organization in North America and fundamentally is a mentoring organization with the goal to help people experience the thrill of a well-trained versatile hunting dog.

For several years, TCCE has been at the forefront of conceiving and delivering strategic, ground-breaking collaborative projects funded by national bodies including: Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), Arts Council England (ACE) and Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).
In 2017, funded by ACE, we launched a two year initiative Boosting Resilience: Survival Skills for the New Normal with The Centre for Creativity in Professional Practice at Cass Business School City, University of London and The Centre for Enterprise, Manchester Metropolitan University (CfE/Manchester Metropolitan University).
At the start of 2016 we launched our two year national Pilot Project, The Exchange in association with Guildhall School of Music and Drama, funded by ACE and HEFCE.
Prior to that, between 2012 – 2016, we worked with Queen Mary, University of London to develop Creativeworks London, one of four major Knowledge Exchange hubs in the UK funded by AHRC.
Boosting Resilience
Launched in 2017, in collaboration with The Centre for Creativity in Professional Practice at Cass Business School City, University of London and The Centre for Enterprise, Manchester Metropolitan University (CfE/Manchester Metropolitan University), Boosting Resilience is one of four new national flagship projects supported by Arts Council England, under their Building Resilience initiative, with the aim of exploring and piloting different approaches to sustainability across its portfolio.
The key goal of the Boosting Resilience: Survival Skills for the New Normal programme is to inspire and support the development of new approaches to making the most of Creative Assets and Intellectual Property in the arts and cultural sector.
The programme, running until 2019, works with a cohort of 26 participants from a diverse range of organisations across England. In its design and strategy, it takes into consideration and builds out from both established and emerging research and sector led thinking on resilience, aiming to create a practical, user-centred programme that also pushes conceptual thinking around creative assets – and indeed creative ecologies more widely – to new limits.
In 2016 TCCE launched the National Network Pilot Project funded by Arts Council England and HEFCE called The Exchange.
The Exchange brought together Early Career Researchers (ECRs), artists and creative SMES to explore research collaborations and to enrich the ecology between the Academy and the Creative and Cultural Industries.
The Exchange distributed 30 Collaborative Research Awards in three tranches of 10 x £5K awards over the two year pilot programme. Details on the awarded projects can be found here.
The Exchange is a significant and exciting milestone for TCCE in that it enabled us to take our work into a national context and to work with partners from all parts of the country, from Falmouth to Oxford to Birmingham to Leeds.
You can read the report documenting the project here.
It is very positive to see the high volume and diversity of beneficiaries The Exchange has directly impacted, and I hope this report will inspire many more collaborations.

Chief Executive,
Creativeworks London
Together with Queen Mary, University of London, TCCE co-developed the partnership base and led on the design and delivery of the Knowledge Exchange Programmes for Creativeworks London, one of four major AHRC Knowledge Exchange Hubs in the UK.
From September 2012 to May 2016 we supported 109 collaborative research projects between academic researchers and small-scale arts, cultural and creative organisations in London through our various funding mechanisms. These included: Creative Vouchers Scheme, Researcher-in- Residence Scheme, Creative Entrepreneur-in-Residence Scheme and Boost Follow-on funding scheme.
The Creativeworks London Festival took place on April 29th 2016 as a final showcase for the programme.
For more information about Creativeworks London you can download the toolkit Developing Effective Research Collaborations, and read the blog Widening the Register developed during the programme.

A Terrible Tragedy that Requires Petr Cech to Use Head Protection
Petr Cech is one of a talented goalkeeper in the world. The extraordinary reflexes become the characteristic of this Czech Republic goalkeeper. He has also successfully brought Chelsea to be one of the best team in the world and managed to present the Champions League title for that London team. Now, Petr Cech is known as a goalkeeper who uses head protection. How did he start to use this headpiece?
This is the terrible story that forced him to wear 'helmet' during a match..
It started from a match against Reading in 2016. When the match had just begun, Cech already had a terrific accident which could not be forgotten for his whole life. A Reading winger, Stephen Hunt could not resist himself from bumping to Petr Cech. Although Petr Cech who was the Chelsea goalkeeper at that time had already managed to secure the ball, Hunt could not stop himself so that his knee bumped on the skull bones of Petr Cech. As a result, that Czech goalkeeper should undergo such a long emergency treatment before eventually being taken out of the field by the medical team.
Continuing his terrible tragedy, Cech should undergo some treatments for 10 days in a row.
"I do not even remember why the accident could happen,"
"I saw him on the television but I decided to focus on my recovery."
Jose Mourinho as a current Chelsea manager was continuously blaming Hunt for this incident. He also blamed the referee as he did not give any strict sanction to that Reading player. After having a checkup, it was known that Cech's skull bones were broken so that he should be operated and rest for three months. During the recovery, Cech was reported to have an extreme constant headache. The doctor said that the incident can cause death if only Cech's skull had more severe cracks. The doctor suggested using a head protection if he still wanted to play football.
Fortunately, Cech was able to have his match again in the middle of January 2007 against Liverpool with a new appearance, which is using a protective helmet on his head. Cech is continuously using it until now as he strengthens Arsenal. In an interview, Cech admitted feeling disappointed on Hunt.
"I am disappointed as Hunt speaks many things to the media but he never calls me. I got a letter of apology from Reading with his signature, but that is it. Nothing more."
However, his protection helmet is now becoming his characteristic for this goalkeeper with a back number of 36. The helmet also makes him plays better in the league. Without the helmet, Cech may not be able to win the titles of Champions League, Europe League, Premier League trophy and FA trophy. Even until now, Peter Cech is a clean sheets longest record holder in Premier League as he has managed to secure the goal from being stolen for over 2025 minutes.
There is also a unique fact about his protective helmet. Petr Cech admitted that he likes that head piece on hishead.
"I am more confidence if I take it off. Like it or not, that head protection affects my environment. My ear is covered and causes my hearing becomes worse."
"But the doctor warned me to take it off. If I force myself to take it off, the doctor will not guarantee my safety."
Now, Cech continues his journey in London Cannon Club. His strong and confident figure make him deserves to be emulated by everyone.
