Why Landscape? What are the benefits?
Improves Curb Appeal: Installing a professional landscape with a well thought out design makes your home more visibly pleasing to potential buyers.
Prevents Soil Erosion: Landscaping around the home helps the soil from becoming displaced and washing away exposing the foundation.
Raises the Value of the Home: With the right combination of trees and shrubs, turf grass and fencing, you can set your home apart from others in the same price range. A property that is more appealing to buyers can get you more money when you sell.
Increases Privacy: Adding mature trees can assist in blocking out nearby traffic noise or the view from the road or neighbor's house and help create a private setting.
Increase Business: Studies have shown that when a business has a well-kept landscape and looks nicer, they are likely to spend more money and return more often. A clean landscape captures the positive attention of the public and pulls customers in.
Prevents Soil Erosion: Landscaping around the building helps the soil from becoming displaced and washing away exposing the foundation.
Increase Property Value: Businesses need curb appeal too! A non-existent or neglected landscape will work against the property value.
Increases Privacy: Some businesses are located in an area where greenery is needed to help filter out audible and visual pollution from a nearby road or adjoining business. This can help to create an oasis that all patrons will enjoy.


Randal Davidson barricaded himself in a classroom in February and fired a .38-caliber handgun when the principal tried to get inside which caused a massive evacuation.
A popular north Georgia teacher accused of opening fire in a high school classroom has been sentenced after entering a guilty plea in court.
District Attorney Bert Poston announced on Tuesday that 53-year-old Jesse Randall Davidson, who previously served as a teacher at Dalton High School, pleaded guilty to criminal damage to property in the first degree, carrying a weapon within a school safety zone and disrupting the operation of a public school.
A judge sentenced Davidson to 2 years in prison with 8 to serve on probation for the felony charges. He also faced a year in jail - to serve concurrently with his other sentence, for a misdemeanor charge.
► Who is Randal Davidson, the Dalton teacher arrested for shooting a gun in school?
The probation comes with lengthy requirements that would keep Davidson away from a gun, any school or any supervisory positions where he would be in charge of children or teens. The probation also banished the former teacher from Whitfield and Murray counties during the length of his probation. He also faces several fees and more than $16,000 in restitution as well as 100 hours of community service.
As part of that probation, Davidson would be required to seek mental health and follow any advisement or medication guidelines given.
Davidson was arrested on Feb. 28, after police said he brought a .38 caliber Taurus handgun to school and then taught his first-period class before locking the door to his room during his planning period.
Third-period students were the first to notice something was awry when they couldn't get into their class. They notified the school administration and principal Steve Bartoo came to the door hearing an agitated Davidson on the other side who warned that he was armed.
When the principal continued trying to get inside, authorities said Davidson fired his gun - an act that led to the full-scale evacuation of the entire school. At the time, no one knew whether or not Davidson had shot in the air, at someone else or himself.
After some time, the school resource officer and several other responding agencies were able to get Davidson out of the classroom without harming him. Detectives with the Dalton Police Department later surmised that the teacher was planning to commit "suicide by cop" that day.
Since his arrest, Davidson had cooperated with police and indicated from the very beginning of the investigation that he intended to plead guilty and take responsibility for his actions.
Davidson had been a social studies teacher at Dalton High School since the fall of 2004 and had a clean 'ethics' history with certifications in history, political science, economics, geography, behavioral science and gifted in-field, according to the Chief Information Officer with the Georgia Professional Standards Commission.
At one time, he worked for a local radio station and was the announcer for the high school's football team. Davidson had no other criminal record or court filings.

Q: How can I delete Minecraft Forge from the Minecraft launcher? On the new Minecraft launcher, I downloaded forge for a mod that I liked. However, the mod was for a later version, so I tried to delete it. The problem is, the delete button doesn't show up. How can I delete that version of forge so I can download the correct version?
Screenshot:

A: Do you want to delete forge, or do you want to delete the profile? They're two different things; the profile allows you to launch forge, but deleteing the profile will ultimately leave Forge still on your disk.

I just want to remove the profile.

Usually, to delete a profile, you just select the "..." menu and then hit delete.

Since that isn't there, you'll have to edit your launcher_profiles.json file, located in the .minecraft folder and remove the corresponding profile definition.
You might want to rename it to something else so that you can identify it.

I want to remove Forge (the install)

Do everything above first that uses the version* you want to delete, then go to your .minecraft folder and inside the /versions folder, look for your corresponding Forge's folder and delete it.
*Basically, if you want to remove anything forge, obviously remove all profiles that use a Forge version of Minecraft.

If there is nothing there, you're using an instanced copy of Minecraft (look in its own particular .minecraft folder instead), for example, if you are using the Twitch Client, which is %userprofile%\Twitch\Minecraft\Install by default.

Q: Map a large DTO to reactive form in Angular I have a plain DTO from service having multiple properties (order of 100s). I want to map these properties in an angular reactive form and update the original DTO once the form is saved.
Only few values of these DTOs are updated by form. However the reactive form can rearrange the arrays.
I have to create a full copy of DTO by mapping each properties and array as FormControl and ForArray in the reactive from.
I want to know if it is possible to make it simpler, as all of it seems a bit unnecessary but still it is required.

A: just a sugestion: If you say that only few fields will be updated, you can use a dropdownlist with the fields (from where you select the field which need to be updated), and an input field for the new value, and a table with two columns "field" and "newValue" where you add line for every updated field.
Then, save it as a key/value pair (where key is the updated field name).
I see this like a good optimization.


William Charles Willard and Bessie Warman were my Grandparents. (Click here to see their place in my pedigree chart.) They married by banns on Monday 27 December 1920 at the Parish Church of St. Michael and All Angels in Southwick, Sussex. At the time Bill was a 26 year old bachelor and a gas works labourer. Bessie was a 20 year old spinster. They were both of 19 Ada Terrace, Southwick. Bill's father's occupation was recorded as gas stoker. Bessie's father was deceased. The witnesses to their marriage were Frank George Davis and Frederick John Warman.
William Charles Willard was born on Sunday 4 March 1894 at 39 Abinger Road, Portslade, Sussex. He was the second son of William Charles Willard (1866-1950) and Annie Back (1871-1935). (His elder brother died as an infant.) At the time of his birth his father was a gas stoker. He was baptised at the parish church of St. Andrews, Portslade-by-Sea on 3 June 1894 and baptism register noted his father was a labourer. He was generally known as Bill.
When the 1911 census was recorded William was a 17 year old golf caddy and he was living with his mother at 4 Annes Place, Southwick. My Aunt (Bill's daughter) remembers her dad saying in about 1938 he had caddied for Max Miller, but did he? In 1911 Harry Sargent was also a 17 year old caddy and living in Hove. In about 1921 Harry adopted the name Max Miller. Might William have caddied with Harry, rather than for Max? My dad doesn't remember his dad saying anything about being a caddy.
During WW1 Bill was in the Army and was gassed twice. For most of his working life he was a gas works labourer. My dad tells me that in the about the late 1930's early 1940's, my grandfather was earning £2 a week. His job was then to unload the last of coal from the the hold of the ships which were delivering to the gas works. My grandfather suffered badly from a bad back. He died on 23 June 1948 at his home, 67 Ridgeway, Southwick, and was buried in the Downsway Cemetery, Southwick. The night before, Bill and Bess had had a night out in Brighton, when they got home, Bess went upstairs to bed and Bill fell asleep downstairs in his chair. In the morning my dad found his dad dead in his chair. He shouted upstairs to his mum "I think dad's gone", to which she replied "gone where".
Bessie Warman was born on Thursday 25 January 1900 at 1 Pansy Cottages, River View, Portswood, Southampton, Hampshire. She was the second daughter of Arthur Edward Warman (1872-1918) and Flora Boorman (1868-1952). At the time of her birth her father was a painter journeyman. She died on 2 January 1987 at Southlands Hospital, Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex, and was buried on 13 January 1987 with her husband.
When the 1911 census was recorded Bessie was 11 years old and living with her parents at 71 Wellington Road, Portslade-by-Sea. I'm told at some point she worked at the Greens cake mix factory and also a handbag factory.
I have Bessie's passport from 1965 in which she gives her height as 5'7" and eyes blue. At the time she was living at 23 Highdown, Southwick, Sussex.
Steve had previously married Eileen Caroline Harriett Barnard on Wednesday 31 August 1932, but this marriage ended in divorce. She was born in the third quarter of 1907 in the Farnham district.
There were no children from either marriage.
Steve was born on Monday 31 August 1908 in Greenwich, London. He was the son of Malcolm Sydney Nicolson (1865-1941) and Emma Jane Elphick (1871-1938). His father was a butcher. Steve died suddenly from a heart attack on Wednesday 12 October 1977 at their home, 89 Southwick Street, Southwick. He was 69 years old.
He married my mother Eileen Isabel Tullett on 1 July 1950 at St. Michael and All Angels in Southwick.
Eileen is the daughter of Thomas William Tullett (1891-1956) and Annie Elsie Stillaway (1898-1985).
My parents had 2 daughters, however, my elder sister Maureen Willard, born 2 November 1956 at the Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, died 10 minutes after her birth. Every year they buy a bunch of flowers in memory of Maureen and she has never been forgotten. Her birth and death were not registered and my parents have no idea what happened to her, as the hospital just took her body away.
I have no children, so they have no grandchildren.
During WW2 my father joined the Army and went off with his father's advice "never volunteer". This was the first time he had been away from home and also the first time he had had a bed to himself. As a boy he shared a double bed with his 3 brothers and was put in charge of keeping them in order and if they misbehaved their dad would come in and belt them, and my dad reckons, being the eldest, he always came off worst. After basic training in Wales he was assigned to the 52nd Lowland Division. His army number was 14242260 and he was a driver. Dad tells many a story about how he was put on a charge for being late back to camp, because the officers would get him to drive them into town and wait to take them back. The penalty was spud peeling, and he reckoned he peeled more potatoes whilst in the army than he's done since, and he has always done the cooking in our household - my Mum was a hopeless cook and Dad a basic cook, but I survived. After basic training he went to Scotland where he was stationed above a distillery in Duftown, although strangely he never developed the taste for Whisky, his tipple being the odd Manns brown ale or ginger wine.
Dad started his working life at the age of 14 as a butcher's boy, for Stevenson's the Butcher, earning ten shillings and sixpence and a joint of meat a week, which my grandmother was very pleased to receive. But after about a year he heard from a friend that he could earn more (£3 per week) by working at the coal yard and so gave up what was said to be a very promising job. He learnt to drive coal lorries, but didn't stick at it for long. His dad got him a job at the Gas Works but he lasted there for less than a week, much to his dad's disappointment. And then the war came along.
Dad remembers that the local policeman in Southwick knew everyone and to which family the children belonged. If he caught my dad or his brothers misbehaving he called them all young Bill and said he'd tell their dad on his way home from work. Dad went to Southwick school on The Green, which has since been demolished and is now a housing estate.
In the early 1950's my parents lived on a farm in Lechlade, Oxfordshire. Dad was then a cattle stockman and often went off to shows looking after the cattle. In early 1978 we went back to see where they had lived. I was then learning to drive and dad let me drive all the way there and back from Shoreham-by-Sea, about a 250 mile round trip.
My parents and I emigrated to Australia on the £10 ticket in 1966, but returned to Sussex in 1969, as dad missed his mum. For awhile we lived with my uncle Harry in Granville in the suburbs of Sydney. Dad then worked as a labourer on the Parramatta shopping centre, where he broke his leg. We then moved to 71 Merthyr Road, New Farm, a suburb of Brisbane. There dad worked in a nut factory and then a laundry. Mum then worked in a pineapple factory. My mum's younger sister and her husband and daughter also emigrated to Australia and lived a short walk away from us. They also returned to Sussex and again they lived a short walk away - we all lived off Slonk Hill in Shoreham-by-Sea, us in Tottington Way and they in Truleigh Way.
Mum and dad moved to Bexhill from Shoreham-by-Sea in March 1999 and now live 5 minutes walk away from me.
On 10 July 2010 mum had a small stroke. A couple of weeks later she fell and broke her left arm just above the wrist. The stroke was at first diagnosed as an ear infection by an on-call doctor at about 8am. I was despatched to get a prescription for antibiotics. By lunch time that day she was feeling worst and a paramedic was called. He did various tests and agreed with the doctor it was an ear infection and she was told just to rest. A week or so later dad went to the doctor as his knees were very painful. Whilst at the surgery their regular doctor asked how my mum was doing as he hadn't seen her for a while. Dad explained what had happened and the doctor became very concerned as to him the symptoms sounded like a small stroke. Mum was referred to the Conquest Hospital for a brain scan which confirmed the stroke. The stroke left her very unsteady on her feet and one morning she tripped and fell whilst making the bed. That was the day she was due at the local surgery for a blood test. The nurse took one look at mum's wrist and told us to go straight to A&E at the Conquest. We spent 7 hours there before her arm was set in a temporary plaster. Over the next 3 months we had 1 or 2 appointments each week, either at the stroke clinic, fracture clinic or surgery for blood tests. As at early December 2010 mum is much better than she was in August. She can now walk small distances in doors unaided, although on the rare occasion she goes outside she uses a walking stick and I have hold of her left arm. About the only time she goes out is for hospital and doctor appointments.
On 25 November 2010 dad had his left knee replaced. The operation was carried out at about 7pm at the Spire, next to the Conquest Hospital in Hastings. During the night he was able to get himself out of bed and go to the bathroom (even though he had been told not to get out of bed without assistance) and the next morning the staff had him walking up and down the corridor. I brought him home on the morning of Sunday 28 November, in heavy snow, with a bag of bits and pieces. He had been shown how to clean and dress his wound and also how to inject himself once a day in the stomach. He was also told he had to take painkillers 3 times a day, but dad being dad, thought after a couple of days he could do without the painkillers and was then in terrible pain during the night. However, he didn't learn, as on Friday morning 3 December he yet again decided to go without painkillers, the result being he was in absolute agony on Friday afternoon. Up until then I had been taking cooked meals down to them each day - dad has always done all the cooking and for the last few years all their grocery shopping. But dad rebelled saying he could do his own cooking. I took him out to the post office on Monday 6 December, a bitterly cold day, and he managed very well. I took him home saying if he wanted anything he only had to phone me. The next morning my mum phoned, very upset, as dad had taken himself out and caught the bus into Bexhill. I went racing into town and found him, and told him to wait whilst I went got the car, but of course he didn't and he caught the bus home! The staples holding his wound together came out on 9 December.
Clement Willard was born on Wednesday 12 March 1924 at 15 The Gardens, Southwick, and baptised on 25 May 1924 at St. Michael and All Angles, Southwick. He died aged 87 years at about 5am on Monday 19 September 2011 at the Oakhaven Hospice in Lymington, Hampshire. His funeral took place at 2.15pm on Tuesday 27 September 2011 at the Bournemouth crematorium. During WW2 he trained to be a pilot in the RAF, but unfortunately broke his back whilst training in the USA, although he did complete his training and gained his pilots wings. In the 1960's he was a public health inspector in Bournemouth and after his retirement from the job in about 1974 he went to work for Butlins Holiday Camp in Bognor Regis, Sussex as a health and safety officer.
For nearly 200 years there has been a Clement in the family, starting with Clement Willard (1813-1895), Clement Willard (1836-1863), Clement Willard (1875-?), Clement Willard (1898-1974), Clement Willard (1924-2011) and Clement Willard (1927-2004).
Clem married Gladys Mabel Thompson in 1946. They have 1 daughter, 3 grandsons and 1 great grandson. Glad is the daughter of George Edward Thompson (c1900-1943) and Mabel Annie Mengham (1901-?).
Harold Willard was born on Monday 30 November 1925 and baptised on 26 February 1928 at St. Michael and All Angels, Southwick. He died aged 78 years on 3 August 2004 in Berry, NSW, Australia. He was a carpenter. During WW2 he was in the Navy. Harold and his elder son came over to England in September and October 2002.
Harry married Joyce Mary Nunn on 13 March 1948 at St. Michael's in Southwick. The witnesses to the marriage were Hilda Blanche Nunn and William Charles Willard.
Joy was born on 24 October 1927 in Brighton, Sussex and was the daughter of Nelson Edgar Nunn (1896-1970) and Hilda Blanche Ayling (1896-1980). She died on 15 October 2001 in Australia.
They had 3 sons (1 of whom was knocked off his bike and killed aged 16), 4 granddaughters and 1 grandson.
Anne Willard married Ken Scott. The have 2 sons and 1 granddaughter. Anne also married Ken Williams (1918-1991).
Frederick Willard was born on 26 December 1929 at 30 The Gardens, Southwick. After his birth both he and his mother nearly died and both spent 3 months in hospital. We don't know, or it has been forgetton why, but, my dad's blood group is AB negative, so we suspect the problem was something to do with positive and negative blood.
Fred died on the afternoon of Sunday 23 October 2011 at home in Worthing, Sussex. He had been in poor health for some months and was undergoing treatment for throat cancer. My dad had spoken to him on the phone in the morning and thought he sounded a bit brighter. Fred's funeral took place at midday on Thursday 10 November 2011 at Worthing cematorium.
Fred married Margaret R. Harris. They have 1 son and 2 daughters, 4 granddaughters and 3 grandsons.
Margaret is the daughter of William Harris (?-2007) and Rose Bourner (1914-2002).

Criticism: A Precondition For Creativity
On Criticism & Critics
More Criticism Needed , The Arts of Wales , October-10-19
John Carey ends his 2005 book "What Good Are the Arts?" with a championing of language over other forms of representation. He is correct on one count. Although eighty percent-plus of the upper cortex is devoted to visual processing the bulk of visual images lacks qualities that a well-wrought paragraph can achieve. Words contain overtone in context with each other. Music, which is the most direct and emotional of arts, cannot do irony or puns. Language can.
Writing on culture and other public policy contains overtone. "Partnership" is a regular, and it sounds nice. Empirically partnership in the domestic setting works; but in the office it is no guarantor of effectiveness. Institutions and organisations are more likely to be effective when a top team is driven and single-minded. It is tough for partnerships to be tough-minded. This is not opinion but statistically verifiable.
Conversely "critic" sounds nasty. When Vladimir and Estragon trade insults Beckett has "critic" attached to "cretin", which is after all only a few letters away. There are jokes a-plenty at the expense of critics, even an entire play written about one. Alan Bennett talked of the eunuchs in the harem. They may only watch what they cannot do themselves. It is not entirely true. Nicholas de Jongh penned quite a decent play. Edmund Wilson's "Memoirs of Hecate County" written seventy years ago reads well today. Conversely the legacy of Updike includes two thousand pages of acute critical writing across literature and painting.
The Arts Council of Wales is ring-master in a culture where the market is insufficient. It has its counter-parts across all the small-population nations that form the European Union's periphery. As a statutory body it has a public sector culture. We expect solidity, regularity, good process. And it does not think critics are nasty.
In fact the polar opposite is true. Its quality document- to which its beneficiary organisations are beholden- is quite clear. "Strive to Excel" from 2015 states obligations on companies in the publicly funded sphere. On page 8 companies must "actively elicit feedback and critical review."
The authors are cognisant of the second law of thermodynamics. The law has featured on this site, in the review of Mr and Mrs Clark's "Smash It Up", 11th March 2016. All systems are subject to entropy, the diminishing loss of energy, and arts companies are systems no less than any other. Entropy, the measure of the amount of disorder in a system, is curtailed via negative feedback. Negative feedback, acting as a governor, is the process in which a change moderates its own cause. It returns a system to a stable state.
The ACW quality framework requires that its artists do this not with a weary heart but be actually "keen to receive different kinds of feedback."
Be it a craft or a minor art criticism receives small airing in the intellectual life of Wales. Beti George chaired a panel at a conference of Cyfrwng in Swansea in July 2012. She launched the session with a quotation "Criticism in Wales is in a state of sickness." Geraint Ellis, with a background in S4C, added "we're a small country, and it's not easy." Ed Thomas picked up this echo with "A minority culture is defensive and it's easy to be defensive from one perspective."
Among the publications Wales Arts Review has been a lone voice in championing criticism and with much gusto. Dai Smith featured, 30th May 2013, to speak on what he called the "intellectual ecology of Wales." His is a pungent piece that deserves to be read in full. This excerpt gives the tone.
"Public Intellectuals have, too often, been seen as Public Inconveniences in Wales. By which I mean that we are often frightened or cowed into silence by the cosy nonsense that promotes the Idea of Team Wales or attempts to issue Brand Identities centred on spurious notions of Celticism or hands out badges for linguistic Good Behaviour.
"Cultural criticism would be a threat, an exposure of the comfort Welsh blanket with which we are so ready to drape ourselves, all cwtched-up and myopic in the hold-tight, don't-let-go arms of Mam. I think there are, indeed, cultural reasons for our relative impoverishment...a lack of such essential figures, as Cultural Critics or Public Intellectuals, to a country's well-being as a functioning Democracy in a broader sense."
Back to the Cyfrwng conference in Swansea in 2012. Dylan Moore provided a nice coda for his own writing- "an engaged conversation, a re-presentation of the work." Geraint Ellis was adamant: "Every healthy culture needs a healthy criticism."

Bad Kitty is the third novella I've read by Cari Quinn, and my most favorite of the ones I've read by her. Novellas are funny creatures. It's hard to get the storyline just right because of how short they are in length, but Cari Quinn is an excellent example of how it's possible to create characters to love and rally behind in a short amount of time.
This was a great Halloween read, and I know that I'll be reading it again once it gets closer to the holiday. Nikki meets her bosses twin brothers at the Halloween party her boss throws every year. They hooked up, and Nikki has spent all year trying to figure why he hasn't called or shown interest in her when it was one of the best nights of her life. Patrick on the other hand is convinced that Nikki thought she was hooking up with his brother and not him, because most women go for his brother Easton. When Halloween rolls around again, Easton convinces his brother to go to his party because he has other plans, Patrick agrees because he knows he'll get to see Nikki again who he hasn't forgotten about.
Patrick is surprised when Nikki lets him know that she knows it wasn't her boss she hooked up with because so few people can tell them apart, but as his brothers Admin Assistant she can tell the difference. When the two finally get together it's well worth the wait. This novella is so short that if I say more I'll give the entire storyline away, so I'll just say that by the time I got finished reading this I needed a fan to cool me down with because it was hawt with a capital H! I had this read in an under an hour, and I have to say I was impressed with how much I liked both Nikki and Patrick. I also really liked his brother Easton and am hoping we'll get to see more of him sometime soon! Bad Kitty was definitely a Halloween treat!


How awesome was this free gift from Max Factor when you spent £15 or more on selected Max Factor makeup products, it began back in March this year.
I did put my opinion on to Instagram about it when I first unboxed it at the end of March, but I thought it was about time that I showed you some more detailed photos and review the items individually.
Inside the box there is a Lipfinity Lip Colour, a Masterpiece Max Mascara and a pretty pink Blush. Neatly presented in a beautiful marble box complete with gold lid.
You get this gorgeous marble print box and all this makeup free in this promotion!
I love the mascara and think of it as the original one that Max Factor used to use in its model advertisements when I was growing up.
I already have another shade of the lipstick of the type supplied which is Lipfinity, it has good staying power when applied correctly. The colour is a really nice shade of pink, 006 Always Delicate is the name.
The blush is a lovely pink looking colour and is ideal for Spring looks.
Over all it is a fabulous Spring set, and with a beautiful box that can be reused again and again too for a variety of uses. Thanks Boots and Max Factor for the collaboration I've loved receiving these products!
My overall review on this free gift set is 5/5!
I loved that you could create a makeup look purely from the contents of the box. You can make a look that is both natural looking but with a fresh Spring vibe, that is complimented with the other Max Factor products you could have purchased in order to get this free box in the first place.
The items that I purchased in order to get this free gift set were an Eyeshadow Palette which was the Max Factor Smokey Eye Drama Kit – Lavish Onyx and the Max Factor Marble Collection False Lash Effect Velvet Volume Mascara in Black.
I rate the Eyeshadow Kit I got as a 5/5 because of the variety in colours, I felt that they would suit my eye colour. I found they are both easy to blend and also have decent staying power without the need for much touching up.
The Velvet Volume Mascara is an excellent product, it is really jet black, but I wasn't overly keen on the size of the brush for my shape of eyes, I give this item a 4/5.
Thank you very much for reading this review today, I hope you have enjoyed it, and I know that some of the Marble Effect items are still available in some Boots stores and online. I will supply a link at the end of my blog post for anyone who is interested.
I got recommended to try these eye liners by my makeup artist friend Megan (I will leave her link at the end of the post). We went shopping as I was looking to replace my current brand which I find I have grown out of.
When I used the testers in my local Boots store there were many colours that stood out to me. I have Hazel Eyes and love to do a range of looks dependent on my mood and outfit. Usually smokey eyes or complementary browns and golds for me.
I eventually chose these three shades to purchase. SL13, SL15 and SL16.
"Slide On, Glide On, Stay On, Definitely a turn on Waterproof".
So what NYX were telling us was that these liners stay on very well… I think this was the understatement of the year! I used one of the liners to create the look in my next photograph. After wearing it for eleven hours, I then removed my makeup with my Garnier Micellar Water on cotton wool pads, then I washed my face with warm water. However when I looked in the mirror I could still see the glitter and some of the colour from the liner. So then I used my Sephora makeup remover and washed my face again. I could still see a faint line and some more glitter. The staying power was wonderful, I know that I could create a look and with confidence it would last all day long.
For the above look I used a Maxfactor Mascara, a Maxfactor eyeshadow and of course the NYX eye liner which was Jewel (SL13).
These liners only cost £2.50 each at most stores, and with currently eighteen colours to choose from, what are you waiting for! If you want staying power then these are the liners for you. I haven't been this impressed by an eye liner in a long while. They definitely slide on and stay on, and that is all that most of us want in a product, right?
Congrats NYX! It's a unanimous 5/5 from Severn Wishes!
Thank you for reading this review, I hope you have enjoyed it. Until next time!
I'm a big believer in keeping things tidy and organised. So when I had a major clear out of lots of old makeup and products at the start of this year I knew I needed to get things tidied. I wanted to purchase some clever storage items for the products I was keeping and use on a regular basis.
The purchase I made was this organiser and I'm very happy with it. I'm reviewing this plastic makeup storage piece because I think lots of people out there might be interested to know how much these things hold.
As you can see in my photographs I've only put the products I use often in the unit, and there's still a ton of space. This organiser is great if you own a lot of lipsticks, there are 12 spaces for them. A large square section on the left ideal for flat based items and two taller slots at the back of that. Finally a slot at the back on the right which I have used for eyeshadow palettes but it's a very versatile space.
Overall I'm pleased with this purchase. It's made my daily routine easier by having the products I use on show and easily removable. You can get a variety of items to fit, providing they are a standard size. As you can see in the picture below I have managed to fit square and round based lipsticks on the right. Nail Varnishes sadly don't fit in the lipstick sections for anyone who wondered. Despite this I still have plenty of room for all my other types of daily products, and the organiser sits flush on my bedroom unit, keeping everything tidy. I only wish the back right part was a little deeper (look at the No7 eyeshadow palettes) so I could fit more in.
Thanks so much for reading this review. You can find these type of organisers in TKMaxx Homesense and on Amazon.
Women often get asked what their daily routine consists of, so today I have arranged and photographed the contents of my makeup bag for you beauty enthusiasts to have a nose at!
All of the products that I use on an almost daily basis are outlined below. I am going to explain why it is that I use these items and what my honest opinion about them is.
I received this little BB Balm in a set at Christmastime and I was surprised what a lovely shade of pink it turned out to be. I wear this if I want a little bit of colour on my lips but I don't want to wear a full on lipstick. It's ideal for shopping and work, a subtle shade and it will protect lips from the sun. I hope the next time I get a No7 gift set there will be one of these inside.
This is by far one of my favourite palettes. I'm a brunette and have hazel eyes, so the brown, gold and pink shades work perfectly with my complexion and eye colour. This eye shadow is good quality and are not expensive to buy. Unless I need a specific shade to match an outfit, I usually wear the range of colours in this palette. I can recommend both the brand and the size of these eye shadows, they last a good while and the palette is thin enough to pop into most decent sized make-up bags. Makeup Revolution London does a range of them, and they bring out new ones often too.
I have being using Rimmel London eyeliners since I was a teenager. I find the quality to be good and they go far. Black is the colour that I normally use to make my eyes stand out more. Not as an everyday look but if I were going out on date night or out in the evening. I would create this look with the pencil and smoky eye shadow to compliment the outfit.
This little bottle of concealer goes a long way and hides blemishes and dark circles in a matter of seconds. It blends well and I find it to be a staple piece to use when applying my make-up. (I did a review of this and the foundation, see my beauty section).
Another staple product that I always reach for is my Max Factor mascara. Not only do I normally wear waterproof to save myself looking like a panda after a long day at work, but I also choose this brand because of the items consistent good quality. I find that this mascara lasts me a long time, because you don't need to apply a lot of it to get a nice result.
This foundation is fantastic because it not only blends brilliantly, it covers so well. Dark circles and red patches disappear as you smooth this lightweight foundation over your skin. Now I'm not someone who uses a foundation every day, especially if I'm not leaving the house. And I have found that this one doesn't make my pores feel clogged after using it. (See my individual review for more on this product). It is my current favourite to use when I am in need of applying an overall coverage to my face.
This lightweight cream is perfect for a daily moisturiser and gives SPF15 protection to the skin. I use this every morning unless I'm planning a mask or a cleanse. This product works well for my skin, which can sometimes be sensitive, and allows me to use it in confidence. These are the smaller versions I have that go in my handbag and travel bag. My main creams are large tubs that live in the bathroom. It's great that No7 have these products in a range of sizes, very convenient.
I will be completely honest with you, I don't always apply my night cream, and that is because I don't like to overload my skin. Moisturising is very important, but you don't want to make your skin oily because you mess with it too much. With my skin being sensitive, I normally only moisturise at night, two to four times a week. Normally on nights that I haven't had to get a lot of make-up off my skin first.
Would you believe me if I told you I had been using this product for ten years? Well I have been. I adore this powder, it's not only quick and easy to apply, but it gives a nice coverage so if I have any breakouts or any red patches, they quickly get blended away. I use it most days, and it's the one thing that I do apply to my skin after moisturising so that I have more colour in my skin tone.
I use this wonderful water to remove dirt and makeup from my skin, and use it every day to generally clean any impurities off my face and neck. I haven't tried any other Micellar water related brands because I'm so happy with Garnier, it suits my skin (because it is designed with sensitive in mind).
I normally use Nivea face and hand creams in the colder months, because I can suffer from dry skin. While moisturising daily this is reduced to only a handful of days out of the season, and occurs especially if I have spent time outside in a cold biting wind. When I notice the start of any dry skin patches, I reach for this cream, and within a few days my skin is back to its normal behaviour and I am free to use my No7 products again. But Nivea is a brand that I trust, and I have used them since I was a teenager, for face and hand creams as well as body lotions.
This little lip balm lives on my bedside table, and I put it on my lips every night to keep them soft. I use it all year around and I always have one in my handbag as well, for when I want to protect my lips but I don't need any colour on them.
I hope you have enjoyed reading about the products that I use. There are so many choices out there, and I think we all know when we have found a favourite, we tend to stick with it. Well I do anyway! I've been buying some of the same products for ten years, and I have no shame. The companies must be doing something right if we are all going back for more.
Deciding upon which two new mascara's I was going to try out was tricky because I have seen some fantastic adverts lately. I wanted to give Max Factor a go because of the loyalty I have to them for the number of years I have purchased their products. So my first choice became their new Voluptuous False Lash Effect Mascara. This latest product sees a new style of brush which is meant to lift your lashes and add a dual application, all in a single stroke. The bristles are supposed to separate lashes while the fins grip them to add more volume.
My second choice comes down to the fact that I use their foundation and other products on an almost daily basis. Rimmel London has recently released the Supercurler Mascara which not only claims to be 24 hour wear, but also builds dramatic curl with a unique brush. The eye-shaped brush of this mascara is a perfect shape for the eye which allows for mistake free application. It has a formula that pushes the lashes up into a curve that is meant to last the whole day.
So here are my two mascara's and also a picture of my lashes with no products on them (before I show you my 'after applying' them photographs) and both of them are the generic black colour.
Max Factor Voluptuous False Lash Effect had a brush that certainly had enough product on to coat my lashes; I didn't need to refill the applicator while I was combing it through my lashes. It was able to get across my lashes well, and then I used the end of the wand to get into the lashes in the corner. The overall look was good although I didn't feel like it pulled my lashes up as much as the original False Lash Effect had done. As for wear, it has stayed on all day and is only just starting to flake (12 hours).
Rimmel London's Supercurler Mascara had the unique eye brush which was great to use, it really did fit into my lashes and pull them up gently. The brush coated well and lifted as I did this, getting right into the corners of my eye with ease. It didn't coat my lashes as well as the Max Factor mascara had done, but the application itself was smooth and clump free due to the brushes design. It was much easier to apply and I found it to keep my lashes curled up all day (approximately 12 hours).
I have labelled this next photograph so you can see which eye I have used which mascara on. As you look at my eyes the right has Max Factor on my lashes and the left eye has Rimmel London on my lashes. By comparing the two you can see that the Max Factor has coated my lashes better, they are darker and defined in a bolder manner, a tiny amount of clumps. The Rimmel London mascara has curled my lashes up high and achieved a curl throughout and they are also defined with no clumps.
Overall I like both of these products for different reasons. If I wanted to go for a glamorous look I would use the Supercurler mascara because I believe it gives me a wider and brighter eyed look. However the Max Factor mascara gives me a darker lash and a bolder look, which can look great with a smoky eye shadow, when paired with a dark outfit. Here are my ratings for the main aspects of the products.
Which mascara should you try? Well that is up to you, I'm just giving my opinion on two of the many great mascara's available to us here in the UK. We are all different, and we all want different things from our make-up. I will definitely use both of these great products over the next few months, and then I will decide which I prefer to be an everyday item. I hope you have enjoyed seeing this comparison.

CO2 Tax System for 2008 Cars Onwards
In July 2008 a new system was introduced for cars registered from 2008. There are now two separate motor tax systems for cars. Cars registered pre 2008 will continue to be taxed based in engine size (c.c.). New cars registered from 1 July 2008 will be taxed based on their CO2 emissions level. New cars registered in the first six months of 2008 will be switched to the CO2 system on first renewal of motor tax after July 1st 2008, if the new CO2 tax rate is lower.
How will the level of CO2 be known?
Before a new model is put on sale in Europe, it must undergo a series of tests to ensure that it has achieved approved standards regarding safety, environmental impact, etc. This process is called Type Approval and each car achieving the approved standards is issued with a Certificate of Conformity.
Among the details included on the Certificate of Conformity is the level of CO2 emissions of the car. This is the information that will be used for taxation purposes for both Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) and Motor Tax.
This CO2 rating will be captured initially by the Revenue Commissioners at vehicle registration tax stage and passed on to the national vehicle file for use in connection with the administration of the motor tax system. In the absence of a Certificate of Conformity and the Revenue Commissioners not otherwise being satisfied as to the CO2 rating of a car by reference to any other supporting documentation, the motorist will be required to pay the highest Vehicle Tax Rate (VRT). The same approach will apply to Motor Tax.
New Cars Registered in Ireland
A private car registered in Ireland before 2008 continues to be taxed under the system related to engine size (cc).
New cars registered in Ireland between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2008 will initially have their motor tax charged on the basis of the existing engine size (c.c.) system. However, a low CO2 emitting new car registered between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2008 will have its motor tax switched to the lower CO2 based motor tax rate on first renewal of motor tax post 1 July 2008. New cars which are registered in the first 6 months of 2008 whose tax would be more under the new CO2 based system will continue to pay motor tax on the basis of engine size (c.c.).
New cars registered after 1 July 2008 will be taxed on CO2 emissions.
Cars Registered Outside of Ireland
A private car first registered abroad prior to 1 January 2008 will be taxed on engine size (c.c.). The CO2 based motor tax system does not apply to second-hand imports that were registered abroad prior to 2008.
A private car first registered abroad between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2008 inclusive and subsequently registered in Ireland will be taxed on whichever is the lesser of the motor tax rates based on engine size (c.c.) or CO2 emissions.
A private car first registered abroad after 1 July 2008 and subsequently registered in Ireland will be taxed on CO2 emissions.
The aim of the new motor tax system is to encourage the use of smaller, cleaner, fuel-efficient cars in the fight against climate change by reducing the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) from cars to help protect the environment and improve local air quality.
Cars registered before 1 January 2008 will continue to pay motor tax on the basis of engine size (c.c.). Also second-hand imports that were registered abroad prior to 2008 will be taxed on engine size (c.c.).
Frequently asked Questions on the new CO2 based motor tax system
How is the method of calculating Motor Tax changing?
For all new cars registered from 1 July 2008, motor tax charges will be determined on the basis of the CO2 emissions level, based on seven CO2 bands. Charges will range from €100 a year for the greenest cars to €2,000 for cars with the highest emissions rating.
Rates: Motor tax rates will be graduated as one moves up the CO2 bands, as follows:
55.5% of the annual rate (disregard cent)
28.25% of the annual rate (disregard cent)
1/12 of the annual rate (disregard cent after multiplication)
Which vehicles does the new system apply to?
A new car, which is, registered by the Revenue Commissioners for vehicle registration tax on or after 1 July, 2008 as a category A vehicle i.e. passenger cars.
New cars registered between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2008 will initially have their motor tax charged on the basis of engine size. If it is beneficial for these cars to switch to the CO2 based motor tax system, this will happen on the first renewal of motor tax after 1 July 2008. New cars which are registered in the first 6 months of 2008 whose tax would be more under the CO2 based system will continue to pay motor tax on the basis of engine size
What is the legal basis for this change?
The Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) Act 2008 which was enacted on 26th March 2008.
What about cars registered before January 2008?
Cars registered before 2008, including imports, will continue to be taxed in future years under the existing motor tax system related to engine size (cc).
This CO2 rating will be captured initially by the Revenue Commissioners at vehicle registration tax stage and passed on to the national vehicle file for use in connection with the administration of the motor tax system. In the absence of a Certificate of Conformity and the Revenue Commissioners not otherwise being satisfied as to the CO2 rating of a car by reference to any other supporting documentation, the motorist will be required to pay the highest motor tax rate. The same approach will apply to VRT.
What happens to cars registered between January 2008 and June 2008?
New cars registered between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2008 will initially have their motor tax charged on the basis of the existing engine size (c.c.) system. However, a low CO2 emitting new car registered between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2008 will have its motor tax switched to the lower CO2 based motor tax rate on first renewal of motor tax post 1 July 2008, (when the new CO2 based system commences). New cars which are registered in the first 6 months of 2008 whose tax would be more under the new CO2 based system will continue to pay motor tax on the basis of engine size (c.c.).
What happens to 2008 cars registered abroad and subsequently registered in Ireland on or after 1 July 2008?
Cars registered outside of the State on or after 1 January 2008 and subsequently registered in the State on or after 1 July 2008 will have their motor tax based on the new CO2 system.
Will there be two separate systems for taxing a car?
Yes. From July 2008 there will be two separate tax systems for cars. Cars under the existing motor tax system will continue to be taxed based on engine size (cc). New cars registered from 1 July 2008 will be taxed based on their CO2 emissions level. New cars registered in the first six months of 2008 will be switched to the CO2 system on first renewal of motor tax after July 1st 2008, if the new CO2 tax rate is lower.
Why introduce a new system?
The clear objective of the new motor tax system is to influence the purchasing decisions of consumers by rewarding the buyers of low-emitting cars. Purchasers of cars with low CO2 emissions will be rewarded while a premium will be charged on vehicles with high CO2 emissions.
How will I know if the car I am thinking of buying is a clean car?
The Department is introducing a labelling system for cars. This label will be similar to the label on white goods e.g. household appliances and will show the level of CO2 emissions from the car. It will also give information such as the vehicle registration tax rate and the motor tax rate for the car. All garages and motor dealers must display the label for each car offered for sale.

Moorfields Dubai Performs Complex High-risk Surgery to Bring Maths Professor Back From the Brink of Blindness
Dr. Mohammed Sohaib Mustafa, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, Specialist in Glaucoma and Cataract Surgery, Moorfields Dubai, with patient - Mr. Francois Ngilambi.
Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai (Moorfields Dubai) has performed a complex and high-risk surgical procedure as a last resort to prevent a patient losing his vision. The patient, a 68-year old university mathematics professor from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), was becoming blind in his one sighted (left) eye after he had already lost vision in his other (right) eye, following unsuccessful cataract surgery in his home country. He was unable to work. Dr. Sohaib Mustafa and the Moorfields team performed complex cataract surgery to save the sight in his good eye, and a glaucoma laser procedure to the blind eye to make the eye comfortable. There was an immediate improvement in vision and the patient was able to return to the classroom after a one-month recovery period.
68-year old maths teacher Mr. Francois Ngilambi from DRC presented to Moorfields Dubai with advanced cataract – clouding of the eye's natural, clear lens – and glaucoma in his one good eye. He had undergone surgery and treatment in his native country, which had not been successful and he was almost completely blind. His condition meant that he was unable to teach and he was losing hope of reversing his loss of sight and recovering.
Mr. Ngilambi had already lost the sight in his right eye following a previous complicated cataract surgery and the eye continued to be painful, with high intra-ocular pressure (glaucoma). The left eye was virtually blind due to cataract and glaucoma. Moorfields Dubai performed the complex cataract surgery to the good left eye and micropulse laser (new technology for reducing eye pressure) to the blind right eye. The cataract surgery was especially challenging because it was the patient's one remaining sighted eye, with a combination of a dense cataract and glaucoma. Six months after surgery, sight in the left eye has improved to 20/40 6/9 vision.
Dr. Mohammed Sohaib Mustafa, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, Specialist in Glaucoma and Cataract Surgery, Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai, who performed the surgery, commented: "This was a very challenging and complex case as the patient had multiple complications in his blind eye, and so this was a high risk procedure with no room for manoeuvre during the surgery on the good eye. The cataract procedure went very well and the glaucoma is now stable and just requires a single daily eye drop to manage the pressure. We were very pleased with the results and just a day after surgery Mr. Ngilambi was able to move around without help and was happy and smiling, which was a wonderful experience for the Moorfields team. We are very happy to learn that he is now able to go back to teaching his students."
Moorfields patient, Mr. Francois Ngilambi, added: "I had almost lost hope of finding treatment to reverse the loss of vision in my left eye but after the surgery my vision improved immediately. Now, after the recovery period, I can see very well and I am able to go back to teaching and so I am very happy with the results. Dr Mustafa and the Moorfields team changed my life."
A cataract is the clouding of the naturally clear lens in the eye, behind the iris and the pupil, which reduces vision. Cataracts are linked to aging and are very common in older people – the most common cause of vision loss in people aged over 40 and is the most common cause of blindness worldwide. There are three principle types of cataracts, which are caused by a build up of protein in the lens and blocking light entering the eye, over time. Cataract surgery (to replace the cloudy lens with a clear, plastic intra-ocular lens – there are different types available) is generally very successful for almost all patients, who usually regain good vision, and it is one of the most frequently performed eye surgeries.
