I'm not one who uses lip stick that much, but recently I've been feeling that my lips lack colour and look a bit naked when the rest of my face is made up. Unfortunately, most of my lip sticks have to be thrown out due to being kept for too long. No worries though, that means I can go shopping for new ones!
I've also recently noticed that lip crayons are kind of cool and the in-thing in the lipstick department these days. But before I could get my hands on the ones from Etude House, they are gone and discontinued. That's when I discovered that SilkyGirl has them!
There are two lines of lip crayons (or lipcolor balms as SilkyGirl calls them): Moisture Boost and Matte Fever. Moisture Boost is a slightly older line while Matte Fever is new. As the names suggest, Moisture Boost features a more balmy and wet look while Matte Fever is well…matte.
What do they look like? They look exactly like fat crayons. I feel the long barrel is easier to hold than the traditional lip stick barrel. The pointed tip like a crayon/pencil also makes it easier to apply on the colour especially when you're tackling the edges and corners of your lips.
04 Rose for Moisture Boost. 01 Vogue for Matte Fever.
I've a rather tanned complexion so light pinks don't go well with my skin tone. I'm also quite cautious about reds as I've never tried anything too striking and the last I want to look like is a clown. So I chose more rosy subdued pinks for both lipcolor balms.
So how do they look like when applied?
The shades look quite similar when applied on my hand. Matte Fever 01 Vogue does look a slight tinge redder. And of course, the most obvious difference is that Moisture Boost has a more wet, slick and shiny look.
How about when applied to the lips?
With Moisture Boost 04 Rose.
With Matte Fever 01 Vogue.
If you're looking for more striking lip colours, go with Matte Fever. The slick, wet look for Moisture Boost kind of made the lip colour more subtle. I guess I would use Moisture Boost on a normal basis when I just want to put on some light make up, and Matte Fever for night functions or when I just feel like dressing up more. I really do like how Matte Fever turned out on my lips though. I've never used such a striking colour before, so this is something new and it turned out pretty well!


1. Tear kale into medium-sized pieces; set aside.
2. Except for the kale, place all ingredients in food processor. Add 1/4 cup water; process. Add additional water, 2 tablespoons at a time, to get a consistency similar to that of a thin salad dressing.
3. Get the biggest bowl you can find, and put all of the kale and cashew mixture into it. Prepare to get your hands dirty, and massage the cashew mixture into the kale. Make sure all of the kale has been covered.
5. Dehydrate at 110 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 hours (overnight) or until the kale chips are crispy.
Bring them around your friends and watch their facial expressions as you eat your wonderful greens and call them "chips".
Source of recipe: After some experimentation and inspiration, this is what I got.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. The kale chips are absolutely delicious! I added a few teaspoons of nutritional yeast and used a little less olive oil, but other than that, the recipe was perfect. These are a terrific snack- so nutritious and tasty!

Healthy Zajac ready to contribute for Devils
New Jersey Devils fans must be relieved when they think about how much better off their team will be with its No. 1 center, Travis Zajac, in the lineup for a full season.
Zajac missed 67 regular-season games and the team still qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. There's no question having the 6-foot-3, 200-pounder in the lineup from the get-go will go a long way in helping the Devils not only qualify, but potentially solidify home-ice advantage in the opening rounds. As the sixth seed last spring, the Devils were forced to win their opening three rounds in the Eastern Conference without the benefit of home ice.

"If any team would miss their best centerman, it hurts," Ilya Kovalchuk told reporters last season. "We were missing him for almost all year long. Then he came back and gave us a lot of jump. He scores big goals."
After posting two goals and six points in 15 regular-season games, Zajac made up for lost time in the playoffs by connecting for seven goals and 14 points while averaging 20:28 of ice time in 24 games.
He scored the overtime winner in Game 6 against the Florida Panthers in the first round to keep New Jersey's season alive. Zajac was also the team's best on faceoffs, winning 54.2 percent of his draws on a League-leading 448 chances in the postseason.
He gives the Devils veteran experience and was a tremendous help to Calder Trophy candidate Adam Henrique on the team's top line.
"Getting him back, he makes our team that much deeper," Henrique said. "Obviously not having him for the majority of the year was tough. He's one of our leaders. He's one of our best players. He's a guy that we rely on in big situations."
Zajac's strong two-way game is further evidenced by his 13 takeaways and 35 hits in the playoffs. Zajac spent close to two minutes per game on the penalty kill and more than three minutes per game on the power play during New Jersey's run in the playoffs.
"I think he was probably the biggest acquisition we could have made after the trade deadline without having to get rid of anybody," Henrique said. "He was a huge part of why we had success."
Patrik Elias said, "I love playing and practicing with him because he's so smart in both ends and he works his butt off, but he's not a flashy guy. He does his job. He's got great hockey sense, great skills. He's strong. He's not going to go out and hit anybody all that hard or anything like that, but he's so annoying to play against."

That's Lukey at the Nakama celebrity cook-off.
Is young master Luke looking rather aged in this series of still motion captures?
I'm starting to feel like people should start taking crowd shots at any and all major sporting events, parties, and concerts in the region and we can all play "Where's Lukey," because you know he's sure to be there. I don't know why LOLukey caused me to think of that – seems like an idea that should have been had a long time ago – but there ya go.
oh my dog, i laughed so hard that i just pulled a muscle. hope you are happy.
What is going on with his lips? It looks like collagen, or he got caught in the pool drain.

Carrie Underwood, NFL and NBC stole 'Sunday Night Football' theme: lawsuit
'BACKLASH CAN COME': Rapper Young Thug says Lil Nas X shouldn't have come out as ...
Mariah Carey open to Lil Nas X collaboration
BTS create social media storm after booking stadium gig in Saudi Arabia
NEW YORK — Country music superstar Carrie Underwood, the National Football League and NBC were sued on Wednesday for allegedly copying the "Game On" theme song used in 2018 for "Sunday Night Football" from an identically-titled song recorded two years earlier.
Heidi Merrill, who said she uploaded her "Game On" to Google's YouTube in March 2017, said her copyright was infringed after Underwood's producer Mark Bright rejected her August 2017 pitch at a conference in Nashville to use the song for "Sunday Night Football."
In their complaint, Merrill and her co-writers said Underwood's "Game On" is "substantially – even strikingly – similar, if not identical" to their song, including in title, tempo, meter, time signature, rhythmic and melodic contours and patterns, note and chord progressions, and hooks.
Bright and music publishing affiliates of Sony Corp and Warner Music Group are among the nine defendants named in the lawsuit, which was filed in Manhattan federal court.
A spokesman for Underwood did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Spokesmen for the NFL and Sony declined to comment. NBC, which is owned by Comcast Corp, and the publisher Warner/Chappell Music had no immediate comment.
Underwood has performed theme songs for "Sunday Night Football" since 2013.
Tim Foster, a lawyer at Sam P. Israel PC representing the plaintiffs, said the lawsuit followed the rejection by several defendants of his clients' effort to negotiate a resolution.
"Ms. Underwood recorded a song that was substantially similar to the original song submitted through her producer, without giving credit or compensation of any kind to the original songwriters," Foster said in an interview. "We assume that there will be significant damages."
Underwood, 36, became famous by winning the fourth season of "American Idol" in 2005. She has since won dozens of country music awards and seven Grammy awards.
The case is Merrill et al v. Underwood et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 19-05722.

Q: Testing for the existence of dependencies in time series What methods exist to test for the existence of any sort of dependence in a time series?  This is in contrast to something like auto-correlation, which tests for a particular type of dependency.  Is there something that can say if dependencies exist, in general, without necessarily determining what kind?
I have heard of and experimented with something called a "differential spectrum test", which states that the histogrammed changes in the time series should be symmetric about zero if the series of changes is independent.  (i.e. histogram the set of $x_{t+1} - x_{t}$ and it should be symmetric about zero).  If anyone has a reference for this test, I would appreciate it.
Update:
The comments suggest that failing a white noise test would indicate that some sort of dependencies exist.  True?  I guess it must depend on the test.  Here are some I have found.. any comments on their applicability here?

A Transparent Soul: Anomalie's Humanistic "Integra" EP
Jenna DePasquale
While it is common for black metal artists to explore either the spiritual realm of occult-driven heresy or the nihilistic venue hosting the hand-to-hand combat of primal humanity, few bands find a happy medium in humanism. Embracing the significance of human relationships with emotions and environment through an equally moderate take on post-black metal, Austria's Anomalie lives up to its name as one of these welcomed exceptions. Creating music prolifically since Between the Light graced the world of re-imagined black metal in 2014, one-man Marrok is keeping the momentum going with the release of his upcoming EP Integra. Ominous, yet smooth and contemplative, Integra is black metal that trades the cloak of darkness for a sense of transparency into the soul. Listen to an exclusive full stream of the EP below.
The low rumblings of "Rebirth" gradually lift the human figure depicted in Integra's artwork into the divinity of nature. Riding forth on its wings, we are taken into fast-but-steady meditations on grim riffs tidied up by ultra-clean production. Most distinctly, vocals tend to take on a third category when it comes to the clean/extreme dichotomy. It is a technique that was used more intermediately on last year's full-length Visions, but the balance of vocal interjections, abrasive breaks, and lighter interludes continues to be perfected. Anomalie has already brought the newest edition of its signature style to life through a story of loosely-related visuals.
Not ones to lurk around in the shadows, Marrok provides a compelling video for "Temples," which doesn't leave any major religion unaddressed. Yet, there isn't any disrespect for the sake of edginess. Rather, it takes the ritualistic elements of the religions with which many of us grew up and applies them to a heightened relationship with the Self. As we navigate our own life path, we come to build sacred homes around us that protect us from relative meaninglessness. It is no doubt exciting that Anomalie is sharing each stage of this process when it comes to building an identity as a black metal artist who takes approachable risks.
Integra drops November 9th on AOP. Follow Anomalie on Facebook.

Part slave narrative, part memoir, and part sentimental fiction, Behind the Scenes depicts Elizabeth Keckley's years as a slave and subsequent four years in Abraham Lincoln's White House during the Civil War. As public drama privately experienced, Keckley's work presents Jefferson Davis and his wife, Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln, and even Stephen Douglas and Mrs. Senator Douglas in the foreground, with the war, and slavery as the issue that precipitated it, in the background. Through the eyes of this black woman--an ex-slave, seamstress, and dressmaker--we see a wide range of historical figures and events of the antebellum South, the Washington of the Civil War years, and the final stages of the war.

Proper appraisal
Assessing the safety and evaluating the risk of novel tobacco and nicotine products
By Marina Murphy
E-cigarettes are expected to be big news this year. India will host the seventh Conference of the Parties (COP) of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which is the World Health Organization's (WHO) international treaty on tobacco control.
The COP is the governing body of this treaty. The WHO does not support e-cigarettes. This is despite the fact that many in the public health community1 do, and despite the prediction that around 1 billion people will die from smoking-related disease in the 21st century compared with "just" 100 million in the past century.2 This is because, although the percentage of smokers has decreased, the number of smokers has increased due to population growth.3 By contrast, Public Health England (PHE), an agency of the U.K. Department of Health, and others believe that the popularity of e-cigarettes, as well as the fact that they are safer—95 percent safer compared with cigarettes according to PHE—could be the answer to this public health crisis.
E-cigarettes therefore hold great potential for reducing smoking-related disease. But this needs to be scientifically proven. To this end, British American Tobacco (BAT) and others are developing tests to help them understand their products and their biological impact. Such tests will also help better define and further reduce any residual risks to as low a level as possible; help establish appropriate quality control and standards; and further reassure consumers, regulators and public health as to the reduced risk potential of these and other products.
ASSESSING NEXT-GENERATION PRODUCTS
Recent years have seen the emergence of some very high-tech gadgetry and technology in the area of nicotine products. Fresh eyes and new tests are required to ensure that products based on these technologies are as safe as can be. BAT has proposed a new scientific framework4 to do just that.
This framework has four basic stages. The first step is understanding how consumers use the products and then using this information to understand the products. Laboratory and clinical testing is then used to determine whether these products emit and deliver fewer toxicants than conventional cigarettes. Testing then moves into the real world to determine what impact, if any, a reduction in toxicants will have on a person's individual risk, as well as the collective risk of a population using the products.
UNDERSTANDING CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
Understanding how consumers use their products is an essential first step. This helps to ensure that machine testing of e-cigarettes mimics real-life use and therefore gives realistic results. BAT has developed a test, based on a technology called a Smoking Analyzer (SA7), to help it do that. The SA7 was developed initially to measure smokers' puffing behavior. This is a portable device capable of measuring pressure and flow, and it provides information such as the size and length of a puff and the time between puffs.
The company has observed many different types of vaping behaviors, and by using an average it can program lab-based "vaping robots" to make measurements in the laboratory more accurate and true to life.
CHARACTERIZING VAPOR PRODUCTS
Vaping robots produce vapor in the lab in a similar manner to a consumer, and a series of chemical tests are used to identify and measure the constituents in e-cigarette emissions. For example, a "GC-GC-MS" technology combines gas chromatography, which is used to separate out the component parts of the aerosol, and mass spectroscopy, which then identifies each component part.
The separation technique uses a very long, very narrow column through which the aerosol passes. Different molecules travel through the column at different rates and exit the column at different stages, at which time a mass spectrometer is used to identify each of them. This involves breaking the molecules into smaller fragments and then identifying each fragment according to its mass-to-charge ratio. The results of this and other tests demonstrate that the e-cigarette aerosol is much less complex than cigarette smoke (see Figure 1). BAT has observed reductions of 90 percent and more in the levels of certain toxicants present in e-cigarette vapor compared with cigarettes.
Figure 1: GC-GC-MS Scans – Number of peaks as a percentage versus a reference cigarette. E-cigarette peaks: 5 percent
Figure 1: GC-GC-MS Scans – Number of peaks as a percentage versus a reference cigarette.
Reference cigarette: 100 percent
E-CIG VAPOR COMPARISON TO CIGARETTE SMOKE
The biological impact of e-cigarette vapor compared with cigarette smoke can be tested in the lab using cell-based tests. One test uses a 3-D model of human lung tissue to examine the impact of e-cigarette vapor versus smoke on cell health. Also, there is a "scratch test" that examines a tissue's ability to repair itself (when scratched) after exposure to e-cigarette vapor or cigarette smoke (see Figure 2).
The first test uses a dye to observe the impact of aerosol exposure on the cells. Healthy cells have an enzyme that breaks down the dye so that it changes from purple to yellow. Healthy cells will therefore appear more yellow in color than unhealthy or dead cells. This test reveals that exposure to cigarette smoke for six hours causes near complete death of human airway cells in this test. But even after hours of continuous exposure, the impact of the e-cigarette vapor on the airway tissue was found to be similar to that of air.6
In the "scratch test," a layer of cells is scratched and the cells' ability to close the scratch/wound is observed. The scratch mimics natural wear and tear in the cardiovascular system. This test can be used to compare the effect of e-cigarette vapor on wound healing compared with cigarette smoke. When the cells were exposed to smoke, they seemed to lose their sense of direction and position relevant to other cells; they appeared "confused" and could not find their way across the gap—the wound did not close. By contrast, when the cells were exposed to e-cigarette vapor, the cells quickly closed the gap in much the same way as they do when just exposed to air.
These early-stage results demonstrate that in comparison to cigarettes, these new products have great potential to demonstrate a reduction in disease-relevant risk.
Figure 2 – Complete inhibition of wound healing after exposure to cigarette smoke
Figure 2 – B. Uninhibited wound closure after exposure to e-cigarette aerosol
REAL-WORLD TESTING
Lab tests can be used to study the products to determine whether the aerosol from e-cigarettes contains fewer toxicants than cigarette smoke and to examine the biological impact of e-cigarette vapor on human tissue models, compared with the impact of exposure to cigarette smoke.
Clinical testing with consumers is required to determine exposure to toxicants, using biomarkers of exposure, which could be the toxicant itself or its metabolic breakdown product, which is found in blood, saliva and urine. Or it could be a physiological measurement like cholesterol levels. The higher the levels observed, the higher the exposure. This can give an indication of individual risk, but e-cigarette usage and uptake by consumers must be measured in order to assess their impact for reducing risk at a population level.
This assessment framework will help build the required evidence base needed to demonstrate that novel tobacco and nicotine products can deliver a net population health gain in comparison with cigarette smoking. There is now a great opportunity for the industry, regulators and academia to come together and agree on standards and testing protocols for e-cigarettes and other novel products.

This is .270 WSM Winchester 150gr. Super-X Power-Point Soft Point Ammo. The Winchester Power Point bullet has A unique soft nose jacketed design, which delivers maximum energy at the target. It also has notches around the jacket mouth to improve and ensure uniform, rapid expansion. The velocity is 3150fps and the energy is 3304ft-lbs. This ammo is packed in 20rd. boxes.
Shot a 250 lb. mule deer in the Texas Pandahndle last year. The shot was about 1000 years.
Boy, talk about knock the pig down power!! This bullet gets in where the goodies are and takes care of business. Never have I had a hog get up after meeting this round whether head shot or in the side. I've seen some ballistic rounds let pigs get up and run only to be lost in the swamp. Full five stars on this one.


Sinus infections are generally caused due to bacteria and viruses or some other microorganisms. They can infect any of the four sinuses that we have in our facial region. When they infect the sinuses we call it Sinusitis' target=_blank>sinusitis. The infections cause great trouble to a patient. A patient suffering from sinus infection experiences a lot of symptoms like headache, nasal congestion, pain in the facial areas, swollen face, irritation and many others. If you too had been suffering from such symptoms now its time you get rid of a sinus infection naturally. Let me tell you some secrets of natural products around us.


Will Tax Changes in Saskatchewan Cripple PotashCorp Further?
The fertilizer producer is feeling the one-two punch of a weak commodities market and a government looking to make up lost revenue.
Underground mining operations like this have propelled PotashCorp to the industry forefront in fertilizer production, but a supply glut is gutting prices. Image source: PotashCorp.
A bleak outlook for the coming year led PotashCorp (NYSE:POT) to forecast earnings for 2016 that missed analyst expectations by a wide margin and caused it to cut its dividend for the first time in the company's history. What's worse is some analysts think the fertilizer producer didn't go far enough, and it has hanging over it the possibility the Saskatchewan government will change its royalty scheme that could mire it further in a morass of underperformance.
Not that 2015 was anything like a barn-burner, as fourth-quarter revenue tumbled 29% to $1.35 billion. Average realized potash prices for the period were $238 per tonne, a 16% decline from the $284 per tonne it realized a year ago. That also caused earnings to be cut in half as they fell to $201 million, or $0.24 per share, from $407 million, or $0.49 per share.
But it was the outlook for the coming year that necessitated PotashCorp's drastic actions. As the largest fertilizer producer by capacity, its potash sales volumes last year were down 6% from 2014, and it expected they would only hit a range between 8.3 million and 9.1 million tonnes in 2016, which will generate potash gross margins of $800 million to $1.1 billion, a significant decline from 2015 because of the sharp drop in potash prices.
PotashCorp has already begun closing mines to rein in capacity. Last week it announced the indefinite suspension of its Picadilly mine in Saskatchewan, which followed the inventory closure at Cory, Lanigan, and Allan in December, and the closure of Penobsquis in November. It says it doesn't anticipate any more closures going forward, however.
The biggest news may have been its decision to slash its quarterly dividend by 34% to $0.25 per share. It's the first time it's cut the payout, and it follows many others in the mining industry that have reduced or suspended their dividend. Copper and gold miner Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX) cuts its dividend 84% early in 2015 before suspending it altogether in December. Anglo American, Peabody Energy, and Vale have all reduced or completely suspended their payout.
BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP) has been one of the last holdouts along with PotashCorp to delay as long as possible cutting or suspending its dividend, but when the world's largest miner reports earnings in February, it may very well join the parade.
By cutting the payout, though, PotashCorp CEO Jochen Tilk says it gives the fertilizer producer the needed flexibility to pursue acquisitions or do stock buybacks. Although investors are probably glad at this point that PotashCorp's pursuit of German potash producer K+S fell through, as it may have been a financial burden it couldn't afford, Tilk said he's no longer interested in going after the miner anyway.
It may want to hold off on making any moves like that regardless until the provincial government of Saskatchewan decides what it's going to do with the industry's royalty scheme. Last year it had made significant changes to its tax policy that at the time PotashCorp said would reduce its pre-tax earnings by as much as $100 million. Although the finance minister says he's mindful of the deteriorating situation in the commodities market, the government is also losing tax revenues because of the slump in oil prices, and it appears it wants to make it up on the backs of fertilizer producers.
And though PotashCorp is willing to support a "fair and mindful and inclusive" process" for setting policy, Tilk also notes that Saskatchewan, which takes two bites of profits generated, "has the highest royalty regime anywhere in comparison."
At this point it's hard to tell which is worse for the fertilizer maker -- the reduced outlook for the industry in 2016 or the government's imposing an even heavier tax burden at a time when it can least afford it.
PotashCorp has lost more than half its value over the past year, and until clarity on both issues is achieved, investors may want to hold off on jumping in at its new lower price to see if any more shoes still have to fall.

"I consider that the Crown's case is not a weak case," the judge said as he granted Chris Dawson bail with $1.5 million surety.
Christopher Michael Dawson has been granted bail with $1.5 million surety while he awaits trial for the alleged murder of his wife Lynette Joy Dawson in 1982.
Magistrate Robert Williams said on Monday afternoon that the Crown case against Dawson, 70, was "not a weak case", but said considerations such as delay meant his release was appropriate.
Dawson's lawyer Greg Walsh said his client had been subject to threats in prison that had been referred to police, and was "naturally" relieved to be released.
Lyn is the subject of Australian true crime podcast The Teacher's Pet, which catapulted her disappearance back into the public eye as it became a global hit and was downloaded tens of millions of times.
He has been in custody since his arrest on Dec. 5 and appeared at Monday's hearing via video link, dressed in prison greens.
Williams said it was clear the case against Dawson is "entirely circumstantial", and outlined the prosecution argument that Lyn having died on or about Jan. 8 1982 was an "irresistible conclusion" from the whole of the evidence.
At the bail hearing last week, Dawson's lawyer argued that there was evidence to suggest Lyn was alive after Jan. 8, 1982.
The Crown argued that such sightings are "unconfirmed when balanced against Lynette Dawson's complete and utter disappearance", Williams said.
Handing down his decision, Williams said "I consider that the Crown's case is not a weak case", but said its strength was outweighed by a number of factors when it came to granting bail, including Dawson's need to prepare his case and the length of time he would spend in custody before trial.
The time before Dawson goes to trial is estimated at between 15 months and 18 months, and there is an immense volume of material to go through, Williams said.
Williams noted that Dawson has a "limited or nil" criminal history, that he had strong community ties and that he had been employed for some years.
"He has resided in Queensland for a number of years and has close family including grandchildren," Williams said.
Williams also noted there was no evidence Dawson had interfered with witnesses over a long period of time, and that he had had prior opportunities to leave Australia and remained here.
Outside court, Walsh said Dawson was "naturally" relieved to be out and that he had been subject to threats while in prison.
"I'm not seeking sympathy for him, but he hadn't been in custody before. There were threats. There are ongoing threats," he said.
The threats are being investigated by police, Walsh said.
Dawson's bail conditions include daily reporting to police, surrendering his passport and putting up $1.5 million in surety.
Dawson is to reside at Mount Coolum in Queensland with his current wife and not travel more than 20km from his home unless attending court.

You may or may not have heard of this new USB cable. It was introduced with the MacBook from Apple. There again, Apple decided to release something before we were quite ready for it… yet again, we now wonder how we ever lived without it. This new USB Type C cable is actually quite fantastic. Why? Let's find out.
The USB – C cables are the latest generation of USB connectors. It has a profile that is quite thin and the plug orientation is reversible. The USB – C cables, which you can see at www.newnex.com, can be used both on portable devices and larger ones. This cable will support Display Port Alternate Mode, USB Power Delivery 2.0, and USB 3.1 Generations 1 and 2. This enables people who use it to have high speeds and data transmitting that is secure, as well as system power transfer and display connection simultaneously.
Apple's Lightning Cable is reversible. This USB – C cable is also reversible. You don't need to worry anymore about making sure that you have the plug turned the right way before you plug your device in. This will make it easier to plug your devices in when you are in the dark. It will also solve the problem with the cord getting all twisted about because of having to plug it in a certain direction.
One of the main reasons that the USB – C can be looked at as the future of gadgets is because of its simplicity. Think back to the mid – 90s when the USB was first introduced. This effectively took away things like parallel ports and serial ports from the backs of our laptops and PCs. The USB – C cable can pretty much have the same effect when it comes to mobile computing, but on a more massive level. It can replace the cables that we need for video, data, and power… making everything just a little bit simpler.
We all know that faster transfer speeds are never a bad thing. With this cable, you get data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps (gigabits per second). This is twice what you get with our normal USB cables and as much as 10 times what the speed is with the Google fiber connection.
Streaming is a HUGE thing now. In the past, if we wanted to be able to stream video, we had to have things like HDMI and Display Port. Now, with the USB – C cables, these things are facing becoming obsolete. Aside from being able to stream video, it can actually do it both directions. This means that you will now need only a single cable to carry your video from your PC to your phone OR from your phone to your PC. It works with tablets and TVs too.
This tiny little cord has the capacity to carry an amazing amount of power. Depending on what you plug it into, this little sucker can give you as much as 100w of power. In case that means nothing at all to you, let me just say that it is enough power to charge your full sized laptop – not just those skimpy laptops that have processors that are underpowered.
In case you don't know what this means, think about your typical USB connector. It isn't something that is proprietary to a single company – like most of the Apple cords and connectors. The USB connectors are used on most of the devices that we use on a daily basis – regardless of who makes them or the actual type of device. The USB – C connectors are like that too. It will not be something that is exclusive to any type of gadgets or company.
Don't worry if you don't have anything that has a USB – C port right this minute. You can still use one on any of your devices that has a USB port. All you need is an adapter and you will be good to go.
This is a tiny connector. What this means for the future of our gadgets is that they will soon be thinner too… which means even more portability.


Over the years, I have written hundreds (maybe thousands) of articles both for consumers and the trade alike. Some of my most popular consumer articles were the down and dirty advice stories. You know, the ones that tell you what to do on the off chance (wink wink) that something might go wrong when you are traveling. I have even penned several columns for the trade with my suggestions and recommendations for handling issues that arise in the day to day existence of a travel professional. But there was one that I missed.
What happens if you drop dead? OK, so it is a pretty melodramatic question, but a valid one nonetheless. Let's face it, no one is getting any younger. The industry as a whole is a, shall we say, "mature" one. And since 2001, we have seen more consolidation in the industry resulting in many professionals being solo practitioners working from home offices. Certainly this is a little more complex than a missed connection in Atlanta.
We have built our practices based on the level of service we provide, and as morbid as it sounds, we need to continue that service even after we die.
Succession is not too dissimilar from a sale or merger—it is just more immediate and pressing. So how, exactly, do you handle this? I spoke with Bob Sweeney from Innovative Travel Acquisitions to get his opinion.
Have a plan in place to immediately turn your business over to a trusted agency. Pre-execute an agreement that allows them complete access to your client files and records—not financial records. This turnover agreement will include transferring the phones and mail, and compensation for the successor agency for all commissions and fees received for a finite period.
Bob suggested that 15% of the commissions and fees earned for a period not to exceed two years would be reasonable. I imagine a non-solicit agreement would be a benefit as well.
And his second suggestion was very practical as well.
Your customer list has value and in the event of your death, it is up to your estate to get as much value for it as possible. Rather than just letting the agency close, or slide over to your trusted agency partner, make sure your will includes instructions to immediately contact a travel attorney for advice and perhaps a travel business broker to facilitate a sale. Travel agencies are sometimes complex and difficult to value. A professional in the field is well worth the cost.
As travel professionals, we try to make sure everything goes off without a hitch for our clients. If we are still around, it is testament that we are succeeding. Don't let a little thing like death get in the way.

Springfield College Communications/Sports Journalism Major Celebrated 15th Anniversary

Leave a Comment on Springfield College Communications/Sports Journalism Major Celebrated 15th Anniversary

Assistant Online Editor
At the age of 15, most children are unsure about their future or perhaps even what they will do the next day. The Communications/Sports Journalism major, often referred to as COSJ, at Springfield College, however, is not your average 15 year old. Besides the obvious that it is not an actual specimen, it also contrasts with the average teenager from the point-of-view that most 15-year olds are not nearly as impressive, on a relative scale. In 15-years COSJ at Springfield College has gone from a thought to a major that can attract people like ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo and Sports Illustrated writer Steve Rushin to come speak.
"I think we've been blessed to attract great students, first and foremost," Springfield College COSJ professor Marty Dobrow commented on the maturation of the major. "People with a tremendous amount of drive and interest and curiosity; a willingness to embrace the hard work that excellence demands." Dobrow joined the Springfield College team in 1999, which was the first year of the major.
On Tuesday, COSJ had a birthday celebration. Invited to the party were alums, current students, and prospective students.
"There's just a really good community of people who have this shared passion for journalism and that was on full display yesterday," Dobrow noted. "It was great to see the COSJ community turning out in force."
Throughout the day, alums Paul Singley (Class of '03), Anna Grearson (Class of '06), Kelly Foley (Class of '12), and Samantha Reed (Class of '13) talked to the audience members about their current situation and how COSJ helped them get there.
"[Springfield College professors] will always be there for you," Grearson pointed out. Grearson is a sports editor for the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus in Barre, Vt. Grearson has won awards, such as Vermont Sportswriter of the Year from the National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association. Grearson also talked about what she has learned since she left Alden Street in 2006.
"I learned quickly that the only routine is that there is no routine," Grearson said. "Also, never think you're too good or too big for any part of this major. I started writing obituaries and that taught me sensitivity."
Grearson came to Springfield College as a Physical Education major, but is more than thrilled that she switched to COSJ. How does she know? She says, "The reason that I get on the good day."
At 2 p.m. was the main event: Rebecca Lobo and Steve Rushin. They discussed stories that ranged from their upbringing tp to taking a jog with President Bill Clinton. The couple, who was very fittingly married at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and now has four kids, is a perfect match, and it was on full display on Tuesday.
"In Rebecca's case, she just likes seeing herself on TV," Rushin jokingly noted when an audience member asked what drives them. Rushin also answered for himself, saying, "I like to read. I believe that the most important part of writing is reading."
Lobo advised students to get involved and get as many reps as possible.
They would also discuss their difference of opinion on many subjects and people, such as Roger Clemens. Lobo, who led the University of Connecticut to their first championship in 1995, was a fan of "The Rocket," while Rushin differed in opinion. Rushin held a grudge because Clemens blew off the writing legend, who became a senior writer at Sports Illustrated at the age of 25, for four days when Rushin was attempting to complete a story that included Clemens.
All, even the President of Springfield College, Mary-Beth Cooper, enjoyed the event.
"I thought that they were very engaging," Cooper said. "I'm glad they were here."
Who knows what will happen in the next 15 years, but if it's half as great as the first 15, future students will be flocking to the COSJ major at Springfield College.
"For the next 15 years I hope there's a continued progress in terms of attracting students who are really motivated and with potentially good futures," Springfield College COSJ professor Dennis Gildea said. "I think that probably will happen because as we produce more graduates they get the chance to influence students and young people they run into." Gildea has been at Springfield College for 20 years.
Other COSJ professors at Springfield College include Kyle Belanger and Jody Santos, who have both been here for five years and play a substantial role in the future of the program.

Ambiguity, as is well known, can be exploited to create humour. However, ambiguity in itself is not a sufficient notion to explain why certain sentences with ambiguous words make us laugh. Based on witty uses of modal verbs in the television series The Simpsons, I demonstrate how the humorous effect can be accounted for by the concept of short-circuiting, which is the process of directly accessing conventionalized meaning. More specifically, humour may arise when a short-circuited interpretation appears not to apply. I also show how the existence of short-circuited interpretations invites us to adopt a constructionist approach to modal verbs.

The home goods e-tailer has been growing sales at a rapid clip -- but investors will need to look beyond the top line.
Wayfair (NYSE:W) shareholders have been treated to a few blockbuster earnings reports this year. Despite increasingly aggressive moves by its rivals, the e-commerce specialist's rate of expansion has accelerated throughout 2018, and revenue increased by a market-thumping 49% in the most recent quarter.
The market has responded to the good news by pushing Wayfair's stock price upward by more than 40% so far this year, a situation that raises the stakes for its third-quarter report, which is due out on Thursday. Let's consider the metrics that will allow investors to best gauge whether the home furnishings e-tailer is holding its momentum as it heads into the key holiday shopping season.
Wayfair is currently prioritizing growth as it seeks to quickly build scale in the fragmented home furnishings industry. It has plenty of competition in that niche, from major national retailers like Walmart to e-commerce specialists like Overstock.
So far, Wayfair's results suggest it's having no trouble amassing market share at a faster rate than its peers. Sales jumped by 49% last quarter, an acceleration from the 47% year-over-year growth booked in Q1 2018. During 2017's holiday quarter, sales rose by 48%.
Management has predicted sales gains of between 34% and 36% for the current quarter in the company's core U.S. market. International growth should push the overall figure to at least 39%, according to most investor expectations. Shareholders will also get a fresh look at customer loyalty and engagement as measured by Wayfair's repeat order volume and its average order value. Ideally, the company will deliver improvements in both metrics.
Investors will be looking for evidence that Wayfair has a path to profitable growth. After all, it's easy to sell lots of home furnishing products for a short time, if you're willing to take a loss on each order.
There are two key metrics investors can consult to judge the strength of Wayfair's sales model. The first is gross profit margin, which should hold steady at around 24% of sales in the third quarter or increase slightly toward management's long-term target of between 25% and 27%. But keep an eye on advertising spending, too, since an uptick there may suggest weakening market position. Wayfair logged an encouraging decline in that metric last quarter: It fell to 10.7% of sales from 11.5% in the prior quarter, despite aggressive competition. Another step down would be welcome news.
Wayfair isn't profitable, and in fact, the company's net losses are growing just now as it adds employees and builds out a more robust delivery network in the U.S. The company's capital needs have also been lifted by an international expansion that generated over $40 million of losses in each of the last two quarters.
Executives have signaled that this international red ink will climb to between $45 million and $50 million in the third quarter, while forecasting that the U.S. business will operate at just below break-even. CEO Niraj Shah and his team believe these losses are a small price to pay for a prime market position in the home furnishings industry that Wayfair can use to expand into new categories, as it has done recently with bulky products like hot tubs and gazebos, and in the home improvement niche with items such as bathroom vanities.


PORTLAND — A new fundraiser is taking over Port City Music Hall on Saturday, Dec. 4, and it's an odd one — an Odd Ball, to be precise.
Kimmy's Odd Ball began as a 40th birthday party for Kimmy Welch Wilson, the venue's hospitality and special events coordinator, but has expanded into a tribute to Van Lawton, a bass player who died in the fall of 2009, and a fundraiser for the Open Sky Fund, a musical instrument donation organization started in Lawton's memory.
The event begins with a VIP reception at 5 p.m. followed by an early concert by Gypsy Tailwind, then a 7 p.m. general admission show, which brings together eight local bands, food and craft vendors, dancers, poets, comics, hoopers and a VJ.
After Lawton's death, a group of his friends wanted to "keep his music and magic alive," Parkhurst said, and thought the best way to do that would be to give instruments to children whose families could not afford to buy them.
The Open Sky Fund, which began in October 2009, has donated a variety of instruments and lessons to students all over Maine. During the Odd Ball, the organization will present a 12-year-old boy of South Paris with an electric bass donated by Red Hook Brewery.
The funds raised at the event will pay for a director for the Open Sky Fund, which is in the process of applying for tax-exempt status.
Attendees are encouraged to dress creatively. The bands, as well as the vendors, are donating their time and talents to support the cause.
Tickets are $20 for the general admission show. For an additional $10, general admission ticket-holders may attend the earlier Gypsy Tailwind performance at around 6 p.m.

Als Schiebestart wird das Starten eines Motorrads durch Anschieben bezeichnet.

Der Schiebestart war bei Rennen mit Beginn der Motorrad-Weltmeisterschaft üblich. Der Kupplungsstart (mit laufendem Motor) wurde erstmals 1971 beim Mallory Park Race of the Year praktiziert. Der Schiebestart wurde 1987 durch die Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme verboten und vom Kupplungsstart aufgrund der höheren Sicherheit abgelöst. Durch seine "grandiosen Schiebestarts" mit der Honda NSR 250 wurde Freddie Spencer berühmt.

Der Schiebestart wird heute noch beim Historischen Motorradsport für das Starten historischer Motorräder und Motorradgespanne angewandt.

The Occupational Health Advisory Group for the Electricity Industry (OHAG) is an independent body of senior occupational physicians.
They all have a professional role to provide advice to individual companies in the electricity industry and they meet together three times a year to discuss matters of common interest and to promote good practice in occupational health across the industry.
The main route for doing this is by the preparation of guidance notes on topics of interest to the industry. The remit of OHAG and its guidance covers all aspect of the industry from generation, through transmission and distribution to retail and supply. OHAG has also contributed to the new edition of Eurelectric's Report on 'Health and Safety Issues related to Electricity Industry's Activities', please follow the link below to view the document.
Until now the promulgation of this OHAG guidance has largely been by means of paper copies of the documents circulating within individual companies in the electricity industry. OHAG recognises that there is a need to make these papers more widely available and is grateful for the support provided by ENA in hosting these documents on their website.
The guidance notes will be of interest to managers, employees and occupational health professionals within the industry. They give general advice which has to be interpreted in the light of local circumstances. Health professionals using the guidance, retain an individual responsibility to act in accordance with appropriate professional standards and ethics. This guidance is offered in good faith and neither the individual members of OHAG, the companies they support, ENA or Energy UK can accept any liability for actions taken as a result of using the guidance.

I-League 2017 Team Profile: Mohun Bagan
The Mariners will be looking to regain the title they won in 2014...
Last season's performance: Runners-up
Even after a promising start, the Kolkata giants failed to retain the league as they were dethroned by Bengaluru FC with a mere two-point gap. However, Mohun Bagan failed to win some important matches due to lack of penetration and finishing ability, with ace attacker Cornell Glen being sidelined most of the season with injuries and due to the lack of experience and leadership in the two team. In the Kolkata Derbies played against arch-rivals East Bengal, the Mariners lost one and drew another. Though some disappointing times were present for the Green and Maroon faithful, a 5-0 win over the league leaders Bengaluru FC was enough to keep the confidence intact for the Kolkata giants.
The mid-season appointee, Sanjoy Sen has been retained by the Kolkata giants to coach Bagan this season. Since his arrival in 2014, Sen has been phenomenal in terms of grooming young talents of the club and in adding more fresh faces to the side.
Sen has been the Head Coach of two other Indian football teams. His managerial career started with Prayag United in 2010. While coaching the Kalyani-based team, Sen ended his first season in eighth place.
Sen seeks to regain title with revitalised Mariners.
He was later appointed the Head Coach of Mohammedan Sporting Club in Kolkata in the 2012-13 season where he excelled with his tactical masterclass leading the team to win the I-League 2nd Division and gain promotion to the I-League 2013-14.
On 8th December 2014 the Bengali coach was appointed as the Head Coach of Mohun Bagan and in his first season, he led the Green and Maroons to win their first I-League title since the beginning of the tournament. He was also nominated for the FPAI Coach of the Year award on two consecutive occasions since his appointment at Mohun Bagan.
Transfer Dealings
I am very happy with the performance of players & way we are improving as a team- Kibu Vicuna

The Kolkata giants had missed out on their second I-League trophy last season due to lack of creativity and injuries throughout the season. Considering both factors closely, the club has brought crucial reinforcements in their ranks as well as getting rid of deadwood. They have secured the signings of new talented players and have retained several other important players.
Retained: The Kolkata-based club has successfully retained two of their star players in the last edition of the I-League. Jeje Lalpekhlua and Sony Norde, who were astoundingly impressive for the I-League runners-up side were heavily persuaded by arch rivals East Bengal and defending I-League champions Bengaluru FC. Despite the interest, both the Indian and the Haitian internationals have decided to stay with their current club for the upcoming season.
Transfers In: Mohun Bagan have signed five first-team players this season. Their lack of goals lasrt season has led them to sign Salgaocar ace striker Darryl Duffy. Duffy has been a summer signing for the club but has already played in the Calcutta Football League (CFL) scoring six goals in eight appearances. The club has also brought in FC Pune City centre-back Eduardo Ferreira to bolster the defense. He's a ball playing centre-back, with goal scoring and set-piece abilities among his many traits. Mohun Bagan have also persuaded Anas Edathodika, another defender from Indian Super League franchise Delhi Dynamos to join their ranks. The Green and Maroons has also brought in an additional goalkeeper in Pawan Kumar, who will be competing with Debjit Majumder, Shilton Paul and Shibinraj. Sehnaj Singh, part of the title winning squad of 2014-15, has also rejoined the club in the last transfer window.
Transfers Out: Mohun Bagan have also let some of their players go in order to bring the new faces. Cornell Glen being one of the star players of the Mariners to leave the club in order to join Ozone FC. Glen was one of the most sought after attackers in 2015. However, his injury-prone season forced the club's hands in letting him go. Other players, such as Lenny Rodrigues, Deepak Devrani and Abhishek Das have also left the club to play for other Indian clubs. Rodrigues was sold to defending champions Bengaluru FC whereas Devrani and Das were sold to I-League newcomers Minerva Academy FC. 18 other players who did not make the first-team cut or were not selected for the forthcoming I-League were also released.
Formation and Tactics
Sanjoy Sen himself wanted to keep the core of his team intact for the upcoming I-League season because of the players' understanding of the 4-4-2 diamond wide formation and their flexibility in changing to the 4-4-2 double six formation or the 4-2-3-1.
In the previous season, Mohun Bagan often suffered in the opponent's box because the opponents flooded the midfield cutting off the supply to their forwards. The team could not change its formation from 4-4-2 diamond wide to 4-2-3-1 quickly enough to adapt to the increasing presence of opposition players in midfield. Sen's physical approach of direct football with pacy counter-attacks needed a quick ball-playing defender and a poacher.
Mohun Bagan managed to persuade Delhi Dynamos defensive pair Eduardo Ferreira and Anas Edathodika and Darryl Duffy of Salgaocar earlier in the transfer window. The defensive will prove to be exactly what Bagan need. Eduardo and Edathodika are expected to interchange positions and act as defensive cover when either one goes forward or when the formation changes. Whereas Duffy is expected to be vying for the through balls from the midfield and finish them off.
Man to Watch: Darryl Duffy
Duffy is the poacher that Bagan need.
Despite being a summer signing, Duffy is indeed the player to watch for Mohun Bagan in the I-League. The Scot has already bagged six goals in eight appearances for the Kolkata giants in the CFL. However, it has been reported that the 32-year-old is still adapting to the pitches and the formation of the Mohun Bagan squad and one can expect him to perform up to his usual standards or even better when the I-League begins.
Season Target
The sole target for Sen and his squad this season is to win the I-League once again. Shortly after his appointment as the Head Coach of Mohun Bagan, Sen managed to win the crown for the club for the first time in years. Last season, despite several good performances, Mohun Bagan fell two points short of champions BFC. However, after several new signings and the deserved time for coach Sanjoy Sen to prepare his squad accordingly to his standards, Bagtan will once again be right in the mix of the title race.
