The European Union (EU) has come a long way in establishing its presence in global environmental law and policy since 1972 when the first Environmental Action Programme was adopted. The EU environmental policy is one of the most successful Union policies both on domestic and international levels. However, the EU's leadership in shaping global environmental agenda emerged only recently, marking different periods where there was no leadership presence. EU environmental law and policy is subject to institutional and legal complexities both internally and externally. In facing these complexities, the question arises on how the EU developed into a prominent player in global climate change negotiations, and how the unique qualities of the EU have played out in its favor?
This Article aims at analyzing the EU's leadership in global environmental policy and law through the case of climate change. This Article argues that the EU's leadership could be understood by tracing legal, institutional and policy developments both internally and externally. The Article also provides a preliminary investigation into the EU as a model for international climate change protection..

Q: Speed up Mootools accordion I am using the Mootools accordion for a project and would like to speed up the transitions. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this?

A: It's the duration option inherited from the mootools Fx class. So, your initializer might look like this:
var myAccordion = new Fx.Accordion(togglers, elements, { duration: 250 });

ALBANY, N.Y. – Authorities say Joseph "Mad Dog" Sullivan, a former organized crime hit man suspected of carrying out more than 20 killings, has died in a New York prison.
Prison officials say Friday that the 78-year-old New York City native died June 9 at Fishkill Correctional Facility in the Hudson Valley. A medical examiner says his death was from natural causes, but a specific cause hasn't been determined.
Sullivan was serving 87 years to life in prison after being convicted of three murders, including the shooting of a Teamsters leader outside a suburban Rochester restaurant in 1981.
Sullivan was the only inmate to escape from Attica, a maximum-security prison. In 1971, he buried himself beneath a pile of empty flour bags in the back of a truck leaving the prison. Caught in Manhattan, he was paroled in 1975.


No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecakes - Eat. Drink. Love.
You guys have probably guessed by now that I love a no-bake cheesecake. If you didn't already know this then see here, here, and here.
See? I just love 'em! I love them because they are so much easier to make then a regular cheesecake. I've been wanting to make some sort of key lime dessert this summer and these no-bake key lime cheesecakes were totally the right choice! They are full of fresh key lime juice and are so summery and wonderful! All of the no-bake cheesecakes I have made slightly differ in texture. Since you are adding key lime juice and condensed milk to this recipe, these don't set to be quite as stiff as my Irish Cream Cheesecakes. If you can let them set over night, that would be best.
Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Divide the graham cracker crumbs evenly amongst individual serving bowls or ramekins and press down to make a crust. Drizzle some of the butter over the crumbs in each dish. Place the bowls in the freezer.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, whipped topping, key lime juice, zest, and the condensed milk until well-combined.
Remove the bowls from the freezer. Pipe or spoon the filling into each bowl. Add additional whipped topping and other desired toppings. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving (overnight is best).
I use these bowls from Pier 1.
Depending on the size of the bowls or dishes you use, you may find it necessary to make more of the crust.
I could go for one of these right now : ) I haven't made a no-bake cheesecake in far too long! Love the key lime flavor here!
MUCh easier than making a cheesecake or a key lime pie. I love these Stephanie!
Yum! Love key lime and love key lime cheesecake! What a nice light dessert!!!
I saw this on IG today and I needed to check the recipe! Looks so delicious, and I love that it's "no-bake" for a beginner baker like myself. :) Very refreshing delicious cheesecake! Pinning!
No-bake cheesecakes are the best, and this is no exception!
So much easier than regular cheesecakes, and much more fun! Love how refreshing and summery these are!
These look so good! I love no bake cheesecakes too. Especially during the hot summer months! And key lime? Just too good. Thank you for sharing!
These look so yummy! Pinned! Found you on Pinterest! We'd love for you to come over to our newest link party over at The Inspiration Network: DELISH- a desserts only link party. Bring your desserts and let's party!!

I am so excited to try these out! Would it be okay in one large pan if I don't have 6 little cups? What size would you recommend base on the ingredient list?
Pingback: Top 10 Recipes of 2014 - Eat. Drink. Love.
After reading this post I definitely had to make this! It was so delicious!
Trying these for the first time… can they be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge? If so how many days ?
Yes. I usually make them the day before anyway as it helps them to set overnight. You can try up to two days in advance.
Hi there! I'm very excited to try these out. I just had a question about the cream. It says to put whipping cream on top and then to refrigerate for 4 hours/overnight. Does it make any difference if you refrigerate the cheesecake first and then put whipping cream on top when serving?


Ever wanted a Cholula chipotle 'nduja pizza pocket? Guessing the answer's yes. What about one made by the tender, loving hands of Matty Matheson? Well, now's your chance.
This spring, MUNCHIES and Matty Matheson are taking the fun on the road for an all-out, gut-busting, whole-animal-roasting party tour: MUNCHIES and Friends: Matty Matheson X Cholula® Hot Sauce. Matty boy's partnering with his chef pals in each city—Brandon Jew, Aaron Franklin, and Carlo Mirarchi, to name but a few—to bring guests fire-pit-focused cooking experiences from some of the country's best restaurants. Their friends at Cholula will be on hand to bring the perfect balance of flavor and heat.
Tickets are available on Resy and are likely to sell out fast, so hurry. How could you possibly say no to a Cholula-doused French toast BLT, you monster?

After many attempts and two daughters on the verge of tears because they thought it was going to kill me…I finally caught this bee in flight.

Inauguration of the Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality (CEBI) headed by Professor Claus Thustrup Kreiner
The Department of Economics at the University of Copenhagen hosted an event on November 29, to mark the official opening of the Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality (CEBI). Many people attended the event on Wednesday evening, eager to hear the presentations and to congratulate the new CEBI head of center, Claus Thustrup Kreiner.
CEBI's goal is to understand the role that behavior has when inequality is created, focusing on inequality across people's income, wealth, and health. Inequality arises from differences in circumstances and differences in behavior. The Danish research database, information from controlled experiments, and results from large-scale surveys will be the basis for analyzing behavioral inequality.
The dean of Social Sciences, Troels Østergaard Sørensen, welcomed everyone and expressed his gratitude to the Danish National Research Foundation's chair, Liselotte Højgaard, for the DNRF board's decision to award a grant to Claus Thustrup Kreiner and CEBI. Østergaard Sørensen said that he is sure the center will be a great success.
The DNRF's chair, Liselotte Højgaard, congratulated both Professor Kreiner and the University of Copenhagen. She expressed her excitement to see the center unfold and to follow the center's future research results. She recommended that Kreiner focus on the individual decisions, and she added that he should not do things too fast or too slow; such behavior will not produce success. Rather, she suggested, that he should hurry up slowly. With a smile on her face she said: "Enjoy the next six years!"
Kreiner thanked the DNRF for the grant. He told the audience a bit about his background and about how inequality is affected by both circumstances and the behavior of the individual. The overall thesis is that a big portion of patience will positively influence wealth. Afterwards, he gave the floor to Thomas Epper, a guest at CEBI, post-doc Jeppe Druedal, Assistant Professor Torben Heien Nielsen, and Assistant Professor Miriam Gensowski, who presented results from different fields within the centers research area.
At the reception that followed, the head of the Economics Department, Christian Schulz, gave a brief speech thanking the DNRF for the grant and underlined that the center is already cooperating with many high-level international universities. He added that the importance of the center's research area is reflected in this year's Nobel Prize in Economics, which was awarded to Richard Thaler for his contributions to behavioral economics.

Passing of the Pioneers
It's a bumper January Passing of the Pioneers. So much bigger than I'd planned. But I've found some interesting pioneers' obituaries this month and it was hard not to want to learn a little more about them. The sixteen pioneers are now included on the Western District Families Pioneer Obituary Index.
HERBERTSON, Robert – Died 23 January 1879 at Portland. Robert Herbertson was born in Scotland and travelled to Tasmania in 1830. He married fellow Scot Isabella Bailey in 1834 in Tasmania and they arrived in Portland in 1841. They eventually moved into a house in Julia Street and Robert worked as a builder and hotel keeper. Robert built the Steam Packet Inn (below) in 1842 and it is now one of the oldest surviving buildings in the state.
STEAM PACKET INN, PORTLAND
The Herbertsons also ran a drapery store.
"Advertising." Portland Guardian and Normanby General Advertiser (Vic. : 1842 – 1876) 4 Feb 1843: 2. <http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article71569036>.
In 1843, Robert opened the Union Inn and in 1847, the Britannia Inn and built shops and houses in Julia Street. Robert purchased land on the Bridgewater Road and built Briery (below). From Robert's obituary in the Portland Guardian that was in 1867, however, the report on the home found at the Victorian Heritage Database gives the date at around 1850.

Briery was definitely built by 1867 as Robert had the house and land up for lease.

In the days before his death, there was a fire on Bridgewater Road near the farm. Robert's over-exertion helping to fight the fire most likely led to his death. Isabella Robertson died in Portland in 1883.
WILSON, John – Died 3 January 1906 at Portland. John Wilson was born around 1826 at Glasgow, Scotland and arrived in Portland around 1853. He went on to the diggings but returned to the Portland district, dairy-farming at Lower Bridgewater. John's property The Lagoons was one of the district's largest and most successful farms.
TWOMEY, Edward – Died January 1907 Melbourne. Edward Twomey was born in Ireland around 1836, the son of John Joseph Twomey and Margaret O'Conner. John Twomey took up large amounts of land around Penshurst which he divided into Kolor (below), Banemore and Langulac and passed it on to his sons.
LOOKING DOWN ON KOLOR FROM MT. ROUSE NEAR PENSHURST
Langulac, south of Penshurst, came under the charge of Edward Twomey. In 1885, Edward announced his engagement to New Zealander Mary Ellen Josephine Cantwell and they married. They went on to have five children.
"Family Notices." Table Talk (Melbourne, Vic. : 1885 – 1939) 24 Jul 1885: <http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article145711723>.
Edward enjoyed horse racing and was one of the earliest trustees of the Hamilton Race Course. He bred and raced horses, with his greatest success coming with Mermaid, winner of the 1871 Sydney Cup. Mermaid was a daughter of King Alfred, the great Western District sire imported in 1854 aboard the Severn by Rifle Downs owner Richard Lewis.
Edward Twomey was a devout Roman Catholic. He attended the first mass in the Western District according to his obituary, however, most of the congregation were his own family. He was also a great supporter of the St. Josephs Catholic Church at Penshurst.

In search of an interesting story about Edward Twomey, I found an article published in the Hamilton Spectator and Grange District Advertiser on 10 December 1864. It alleged Edward rode past the Presbyterian minister lying injured by the roadside without offering help. Edward wrote a lengthy "Letter to the Editor" denying the claims and Donald Cameron, presumably the Donald Cameron formerly of Morgiana, also wrote the following letter defending Edward.
"ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE." Hamilton Spectator and Grange District Advertiser (South Melbourne, Vic. : 1860 – 1870) 17 Dec 1864: 2. Web. 7 Jan 2016 <http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article194723320>.
At the age of seventy-one, Edward went to Melbourne for medical treatment. He died there and his body was returned to Hamilton for burial at the Hamilton Old Cemetery. A service was held at Hamilton's St Mary's Catholic Church. Mary died in 1926 aged sixty-two at Penshurst and is also buried at the Hamilton Old Cemetery.
TWOMEY FAMILY PLOT, HAMILTON OLD CEMETERY
EVANS, Edward – Died January 6 1915 at Ararat. Edward Evans was the son of Ararat butcher John Pritchard Evans and was born around 1865. In time, Edward took over his father's butchery. In 1889, he married Emily Harricks of Ararat. Edward was a member of local A.N.A and a vestryman at Ararat's Holy Trinity Church of England (below). He developed Bright's Disease in 1913 which took his life at age fifty. Emily, a son and two daughters were left after his death, with Emily dying in 1949 aged eighty-six.

SANDRY, Alice – Died 18 January 1916 at Hamilton. Alice Sandry was born in Cornwall, England around 1848. She arrived at Portland with her parents William and Anne and three siblings in 1853 aboard the Eliza. In 1869, Alice married William Arnott and they lived in Gray Street, Hamilton. Their residence was most likely at the grocery store William ran close to Thomson's Iron Store. Alice and William went on to have nine children and for a time, William was a Hamilton Borough Councillor.
On 9 May 1887, Alice and William's nine year old son Frederick died as a result of an accident. On the day, he was travelling in the wagonette of Frederick Giles, storekeeper of Giles & Dunn Beehive Store at Hamilton. Mr Giles was a passenger and, as he often did, he allowed Frederick's older brother Archie to drive. They were going to the Wannon store of Giles & Dunn. During their journey the pony stumbled throwing Archie and Mr Giles from the wagonette. The pony took fright and bolted with Frederick holding on for his life.
Found with a severely broken leg, and with no witnesses, it was thought Frederick had attempted to jump clear but his leg wedged between a tree and the wagonette. Taken to the Wannon Inn, amputation was the only option. Frederick went into shock as a result of the operation and died at his parents home. The Portland Guardian published a lengthy account of the accident on 11 May 1887. The Horsham Times provided a report on the inquest published on 13 May 1887.
In 1898, William's grocery store became a part of John Thompson & Co in Gray Street. The Arnotts then moved to Cox Street, Hamilton.
"Established August 1842. The Portland Guardian,." Portland Guardian (Vic. : 1876 – 1953) 21 Dec 1898: 2 Edition: EVENING. Web. <http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article63675021>.
In 1899, William was declared insolvent owing over £800 and he died the following year. Alice's probate file indicates she retained ownership of the Gray Street property and Thomson's rented it from her. She also owned her house in Cox Street.
"Family Notices." Hamilton Spectator (Vic. : 1870 – 1873; 1914 – 1918) 19 Jan 1916: 4. <http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article120409938>.
Alice was buried at the Hamilton Old Cemetery with William. Three of their children were remembered on the headstone, Frederick and two infants, George who died in 1879 aged six months and Norman who died in 1886, two months short of his second birthday.
O'BRIEN, Patrick – Died 20 January 1916 at Hamilton. Patrick "Paddy" O'Brien was born in Ireland around 1831. He eventually arrived in Hamilton and became one of the great characters of the town.
"DEATH OF AN OLD HAMILTON RESIDENT." Hamilton Spectator (Vic. : 1870 – 1873; 1914 – 1918) 21 Jan 1916: 4. <http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article120410087>.
Paddy married Mary Harritty* in 1865 and a daughter Bridget was born in 1867 at Portland. They then settled at Hamilton and another daughter Margaret was born there in 1871. Paddy worked as a gardener and the family lived in Cox Street close to the corner of Gray Street. He was a devout Catholic, attending the St. Marys Catholic Church (below) and was a member of the local Hibernian Society.
ST MARY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH, HAMILTON. Image courtesy of the State Library of Victoria. http://handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/63342
In 1881, tragedy struck the O'Brien family. Ten year old Margaret drowned in the local creek, the Grange Burn on 14 October. There was a large turnout to follow the funeral cortege to the cemetery.
"A PRACTICAL VIEW OP THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT." Advocate (Melbourne, Vic. : 1868 – 1954) 22 Oct 1881: 16. Web. <http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article170023451>.
Mary died at Hamilton in 1907. At the time of Paddy's death in 1916, The Hamilton Spectator wrote, "He may best be described as one of the identities of the town, that being the term generally used where one is well known, and yet perhaps, so so far as his personal history is concerned, not so well known after all." How true.
* While searching records for Patrick O'Brien and his wife Mary, I found several variations of Mary's surname. The Victorian Marriage Index has Harritty, but I also found Garraty, Haraty, Harty, Harrity, Heroty and Harety on entries for births and deaths. As Paddy was most likely the informant on those occasions, I suspect his thick Irish brogue resulted in the many variations.
TATLOCK, Thomas Henry – Died January 1918 at Hamilton. Thomas Tatlock was born in on 13 January 1834 and christened on 23 March 1834 at the British Chaplaincy in Hamburg, Germany.* His father was Englishman Thomas Marriot Tatlock and his mother, Scot Margaret Turner Rolland. Another son, Francis Rolland Tatlock was born in 1835 and christened in Hamburg the following year. After their marriage, Thomas Sr and Margaret had moved to Hungary where Thomas ran a successful pottery works. Due to unrest in Hungary the family moved into Austria and then, as the christening records show, on to Germany.
Moving forward around twenty years and Thomas Henry Tatlock arrived in Victoria around 1853 and joined the mounted police force. He was in Ballarat during the Eureka uprising in 1854 and worked with the Gold Escort. He was later stationed at towns including Casterton, Woodend and Port Fairy. In 1865, Thomas married Mary Ann Scarsbrick and a daughter Ellen was born at Port Fairy in 1866. However, Ellen died aged seven months and was buried at the Port Fairy Cemetery. In 1875, while working as a Senior Constable at Casterton, Thomas was appointed Customs Officer with the Customs and Excise department based in Casterton. As Inspector for Licensed Premises and Liquors for the Customs and Excise Department, he based himself at Hamilton around 1880.
During the 1880s, there were some sad times for the Tatlock family. Mary Ann died in 1883 aged thirty-eight from complications due to childbirth as did their baby Lillie. In 1884, Daisy Nellie Tatlock died aged five and on June 3 1887, Thomas' son "of about four summers" Herbert, died of diphtheria.
"Hamilton." Portland Guardian (Vic. : 1876 – 1953) 6 Jun 1887: 2 Edition: EVENING. Web. <http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article65408722>.
In 1890, Thomas married again to Margery Atchison. Thomas was a member of the congregation at the Christ Church Hamilton and was involved with the Hamilton Pastoral and Agricultural Society. He was a renowned judge of flowers, poultry and dogs at district P&A shows and was an importer of Black Orpington poultry. The Tatlocks lived in Gray Street and later Griffin Street. Thomas' and Mary Ann's son Alfred Tatlock born in Port Fairy in 1868, went to become one of Hamilton's leading citizen's as business owner and Borough Councillor. Thomas's second wife Margery moved away from Hamilton after Thomas' death and died in Warrnambool on 7 May 1938.
*"Deutschland Geburten und Taufen, 1558-1898," database, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:ND14-PZK : accessed 12 January 2016), Thomas Henry Tatlock, 23 Mar 1834; citing ; FHL microfilm 576,997.
MURRAY, Isabella – Died 27 January 1924 at Warrnambool. Isabella Murray was born around 1852 at Summer Hill, Allansford, the property of her parents James Murray and Isabella Gordon. She married Walter Stephen Helpman in 1877 and they lived at Warrnambool.
"Family Notices." Geelong Advertiser (Vic. : 1859 – 1926) 16 Aug 1877: 2. <http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article150470511>.
Walter was a Colonial Bank manager running branches at Koroit, Port Fairy and Warrnambool. Isabella kept herself active in the community. She was a part of the Ladies Benevolent Society for thirty years , including time as President. Hospital fundraising and the Red Cross, serving as treasurer for five years, were some of Isabella's other works. She was also concerned for the welfare of the aboriginal community at Framlingham and extended her kindness to them. As the sister of politician, John Murray who became Premier of Victoria, she had a strong interest in politics, helping to campaign at state and federal level.
HUNT, Caroline – Died January 1925 at Brighton. Caroline Hunt was born around 1848 and arrived in Australia in 1853 with her parents. Her father was one of the Wimmera's first settlers, residing at Rosebrook Station. In 1866, Caroline married William James Carter. William Carter held North Brighton run until 1888 after purchasing Tarrington Estate in 1886. William died in 1904 and Tarrington Estate was sold in 1909, but the Carters retained ownership of the Tarrington homestead until after Caroline's death.
HEDGES, Elizabeth – Died 14 January 1942 at Portland. Elizabeth Hedges was born in Ballarat in 1882. She became an art teacher and moved to Melbourne. She married Francis Caine of Bridgewater in 1914 and they lived there until 1921 when Francis purchased land at Kongorong, South Australia where they established the property Mona Park. While in Kongorong, Elizabeth was organist at the Kongorong church. Around the age of fifty, Elizabeth began suffering ill health and Francis decided to sell Mona Park and bought Cammis near Sandford. The couple enjoyed holidays at Portland. In 1941, Elizabeth's health was still failing and since she always felt better on seaside holidays, Francis bought Burswood at Portland, built by Edward Henty in 1855 . Elizabeth only enjoyed the home for seven months before her death. Another obituary for Elizabeth, written by a resident of Kongorong, was published in the Border Watch on 22 January 1942.

Project: Development of living environment indicators with the Rosetta method in order to regionally gear housing projects to one another. For decades housing in the Netherlands has been driven by quantitative supply. Now that the market came to a standstill local and regional governments rethink their housing projects in terms of demand instead of supply and in terms of quality instead of quantity. This requires fundamental other instruments to compare housing projects to one another. SmartCityStudio developed the Rosetta index: A set of indicators and a vocabulary to benchmark quality in the living environment. Rosetta is being built up in collaboration which each of the municipalities of the region. With Rosetta the political discussion on reduction and differentiation of housing projects can be aligned along a shared vocabulary and overview of projects. The Rosetta legend became the basis for 'de Grote Woontest', a consumer research on housing demand that involved over 15.000 inhabitants in the region.

Best of 2015 – Mikael Kahrle
Mikael Kahrle
Susanne Sundfør: "Ten Love Songs"
My album of the year arrived early 2015 and stayed with me the whole year.
Dead When I Found Her: "All the Way Down"
Should make Cevin Key and Bill Leeb jealous. And if this amazing album wasn't enough, Michael Arthur Holloway throws in a nice bonus disc: "The Bottom".
Grimes: "Art Angels"
Electronic pop culture on a higher level. Grows on you, just like "Visions" did, and that's always a good thing. And it's damn weird, which is also a good thing.
IAMX: "Metanoia"
Chris returns from hell with an album loaded with nerve and electronics.
Agent Side Grinder: "Alkimia"
Manifest believed they put out the best Swedish synth album 2015. I agree.
Karin Park: "Apocalypse Pop"
After "Shine" and "Look What You've Done", expectations for the new album were sky high. An edgy, dark electropop album I keep returning to.
Kite: "VI"
Kite gets darker and more epic. And we all love them.
Dear Strange: "Lonely Heroes"
On their debut album, this new French-German prism wave (as they call it) duo nails a sound that so many have tried to achieve.
Mind.in.a.box: "Memories"
You can always count on Austrian electronic music wizard Stefan Poiss. He draws new stunning futuristic landscapes from his emotional, sonic palette.
Twice a Man: "Presence"
My old friends went for a more classic Twice a Man sound together with returning member Jocke Söderqvist.
Susanne Sundfør: "Accelerate"
Layer upon layer in a marvelous display of superb talent.
Chvrches: "Playing Dead"
The highlight on the second album from the Scottish synthpop trio.
Conjure One: "All That You Leave Behind"
In an 8-minute soundtrack to a movie that does not exist, Rhys Fulber works his magic.
Grimes: "Kill V. Maim"
Electropop from out of this world.
Jean-Michel Jarre & Vince Clarke: "Automatic, Pt. 1 & 2″
This collaboration looked good on paper. And sounds even better in reality.
New Order: "The Game"
Good old, melancholic New Order (with Gillian back on board) are back. In this song everything falls into place wonderfully.
Beborn Beton: "She Cried"
Camouflage and Neuroticfish also delivered strong German electropop 2015, but I want to highlight Beborn Beton. In this advanced piece, we hear a more mature band and the Olaf Wollschläger production sounds like electropop heaven.
Karin Park
As impressive on stage, as on her albums. I had a great time at her Electronic Summer gig.
A respected live act, for good reason, guested by Henric de la Cour at the Progress fest.
Stay true to their vision year after year.
Impresses on so many levels.

Last season's runners-up in the Super Bowl, the Panthers have struggled to repeat last season's success this season. Carolina sits last in the NFC South at 5 – 8 so far on the season. The "Cardiac Cats" are 4 – 5 in their conference, 1 – 3 in non-conference play, and 2 – 3 in their last five games. Their last win came last week as they defeated the San Diego Chargers 28 – 16.
A win by the Panthers Monday night coupled with a loss by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday would potentially pull the Panthers out of the NFC South basement. That's because both teams sit at 5 – 8 on the season.
The Panthers' playoff hopes are slim to nil win or lose Monday night. On the other hand, Monday night's game has even more importance for Washington, which sits 3rd in the NFC East at 7 – 5 – 1 so far on the season with its only tie coming earlier in the season against Cincinnati.
Washington's NFC East opponents, the Dallas Cowboys, have already punched their ticket to the postseason. Washington comes into Monday night's game on the heels of a 27 – 22 win over Philadelphia in Week 14. Washington has also proven better at home on the road this season than on the road, going 4 – 2 at home and 3 – 3 – 1 on the road.
Monday's NFC Inter-Divisional matchup can go either way. The Panthers have nothing to lose while Washington has much more to lose. So each team will be giving its all once the lights go on and the cameras go live.
Sean McDonough will have the call for Monday's matchup beginning at 8:15 p.m. He will be joined in the booth by Jon Gruden for additional commentary. Reporter Lisa Salters will be on the sidelines for all of the latest in-game news and interviews.
Monday Night Countdown will precede Monday Night Football beginning at 6 p.m. EST. Suzy Kolber will anchor the broadcast live. She will be joined at the desk by analysts Trent Dilfer, Matt Hasselbeck, Randy Moss, Charles Woodson and Steve Young.
NFL features reporter Michelle Beisner-Buck, ESPN Insider Adam Schefter and the MNF broadcast team will also join the broadcast for additional commentary. Chris Berman and special guest (and with former ESPN NFL analyst) Tom Jackson will offer additional insight and commentary during the broadcast, too. Jackson's appearance is part of Berman's NFL Legends initiative.
Monday's game will be simulcast in Spanish on ESPN Deportes for the network's Spanish-speaking audiences. It will also stream live online on WatchESPN and the ESPN app.

Bengals, Giants Wrap Week 10 In The NFL Monday Night On ESPN
Posted on November 8, 2016 by philspicks
ESPN will feature a cross-conference matchup Monday night when the Bengals and Giants go under the lights live on Monday Night Football.
Monday's matchup between Cincinnati and New York will be equally important for both teams. The Giants (5 – 3 – 0) currently sit second in the NFC East, second only to Dallas. The team is riding the success of a 3-game win streak coming into Monday night.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati (3 – 4 – 1) has struggled this season in the AFC North. The team current sits third in the division behind Baltimore and Pittsburgh, who both sit at 4 – 4 on the season so far.
Two weeks ago, Cincinnati's game against the Washington Redskins in London ended in a 27 all tie after kicker Mike Nugent missed a kick that could have given the Bengals the win. Nugent since took full responsibility for the missed kick.
Cincinnati had a bye week last week, so it has had time to lick its wounds and figure out how to rebound from that disappointing finish.
Kickoff for Monday's broadcast, live from New York, is scheduled for 8:15 pm EST. Sean McDonough will have the call for Monday's broadcast. He will be joined in the booth by his broadcast partner Jon Gruden for additional commentary. Reporter Lisa Salters will be on the sidelines for all of the game's latest news and interviews.
Monday Night Countdown will precede Monday's live broadcast between the Bengals and Giants beginning at 6 p.m. EST. Suzy Kolber will anchor the broadcast. She will be joined live at the desk by analysts Trent Dilfer, Matt Hasselbeck, Randy Moss, Charles Woodson and Steve Young for additional commentary.
Chris Berman will join the broadcast live from ESPN's studios in Bristol, CT along with NFL features reporter Michelle Beisner-Buck, ESPN Insider Adam Schefter and guest analyst (and Pro Football Hall of Famer) Warren Moon for the broadcast, too.

ESPN Ends MNF's 2015 Season With Major AFC Matchup
ESPN closes out another season of Monday Night Football next week with one of the year's biggest matchups.
Cincinnati and Denver will face off in an AFC conference matchup with major playoff implications for both teams. Both teams sit in first place in their respective divisions (Cincinnati in the AFC North and Denver in the AFC West) and have plenty to play for. That is because a win for either team means a first round bye for the victor. This is not the first time that the AFC opponents have closed out ESPN's MNF season. They also served as the season finale for the broadcast's season finale in 2014. The Bengals won that game 37 – 28 over Denver. It was one of the rare times, too when Cincinnati actually held its own under the lights. That will be a definite factor for Cincinnati again this year considering the team's overall record under the lights.
AJ McCarron will lead the Bengals into Mile High Stadium this year as starter Andy Dalton's fractured thumb continues to heal. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15pm ET. Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden will have the call for Monday night's game. Lisa Salters will also be on hand for additional commentary and reports throughout the game. Monday Night Countdown will air ahead of Monday night's broadcast. Suzy Kolber and Chris Berman will once again co-host the weekly pre-game broadcast. Berman will be live in ESPN's studios alongside Mike Ditka, Tom Jackson, Keyshawn Johnson, and Cris Carter. ESPN Insiders Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter will also be on hand for additional commentary. Suzy Kolber will be live from Mile High Stadium. She will be joined by Trent Dilfer, Ray Lewis, and Steve Young.
Monday Night Football will simulcast on ESPN Deportes on television for ESPN's Spanish-speaking audiences. More information on Monday night's matchup is available online now along with all of the latest sports and entertainment news and reviews in the Phil's Picks blog at:

ESPN Closes Out Week 15 In The NFL With NFC Inter-Divisional Showdown
Next Monday night, ESPN will close out Week 15 in the NFL with an NFC inter-divisional match-up between Detroit and New Orleans.
Next Monday night's edition of ESPN's Monday Night Football comes across as a sleeper match on the surface. That is because because both teams currently sit in the basement of their respective divisions. New Orleans sits at 5 – 8 so far on the season and has gone 1 – 4 in their last five games, with the lone win in that span coming last week against Tampa Bay 24 – 17. Before that, the Saints had been in the midst of a three-game losing streak. A win for New Orleans on Monday night would move New Orleans one step closer to finishing the season at .500. And it could make all the difference on head coach Sean Payton's future at the helm for the Saints. His name has been tossed around for the better part of the season every time that coaching rumors have come up. The Saints are pretty much out of the playoff picture. So a .500 season for the team would be all important for the 2009 Super Bowl Champions. It could very well play a role in whether Payton stays or goes and on the fate of his coaching staff and look on both sides of the ball in the 2016 season.
On the other side of the ball Detroit is also out of the playoff picture as it sits at 4 – 9 on the season. The Lions are last in the NFC North and are in the midst of a two-game skid. This means that the team, which will be on the road against New Orleans Monday night, has nothing to lose and everything to gain. That in turn means that the team could be extra motivated when it goes toe to toe against the Saints in the Superdome Monday night. And that could make things very interesting to watch regardless of whether or not fans have allegiance to either team. Kickoff for Monday night's game is scheduled for 8:15pm ET.
Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden will be in the booth for Monday's game. Lisa Salters will also be on hand for additional commentary and news throughout the game. Ahead of Monday night's kickoff, Chris Berman and Suzy Kolber will co-host ESPN's weekly NFL pre-game show Monday Night Countdown. Berman will host live from ESPN's studios alongside Cris Carter, Mike Ditka, Tom Jackson, and Keyshawn Johnson. Suzy Kolber will be live on hand in New Orleans. She will be joined by Ray Lewis, Steve Young, and Trent Dilfer. Monday Night Football simulcasts each week on ESPN Deportes for the network's Spanish-speaking audiences and online via WatchESPN for those that won't be near a TV during the game.

ESPN Rounds Out Week 14 In The NFL With Inter-Conference Matchup
Next Monday night on ESPN, the Dolphins and Giants round out Week 14 in the NFL in a game with potential playoff implications for both teams.
Miami and New York will face off under the lights next Monday night on ESPN's Monday Night Football in a game with potential playoff implications for both teams. That is because as of right now, both teams are at least in the hunt for playoff spots. If the season were to end this week, Miami would be the 11th seed in the AFC while the "G-Men" would be the 10th seed in the NFC. Counting this coming weekend, there are still four weeks left in the regular season. So there is still plenty of time for things to change in both conferences. That means that while odds are still very slim for either team right now, there's still no telling what the playoff picture will look like come January 9th and 10th.
Currently, the Giants are in a three-way tie with the Redskins and Eagles for the NFC East crown with all three teams sitting at the 5 – 7 mark. Meanwhile Miami, which also sits at 5 – 7, is in the basement in the AFC East. The Dolphins play host to the Giants next Monday night on Monday Night Football. They are 2 – 3 at home so far this season. New York isn't much better, sitting at 2 – 4 so far this season on the road. What's more New York is currently in the midst of a three-game losing streak which has seen the Giants go 1 – 4 in their last five games. Miami meanwhile has gone 2 – 3 in its last five games with its last win coming last week against Baltimore 15 – 13. Kickoff for Monday's game is scheduled for 8:15pm ET. Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden will be in the booth for the call Monday night. Lisa Salters will be on hand for additional commentary and all of the latest headlines throughout the game. Along with its broadcast on ESPN, the game will also be simulcast online via WatchESPN and via ESPN Deportes for the network's Spanish-speaking audiences.
Ahead of Monday night's broadcast, Chris Berman and Suzy Kolber will co-host ESPN's weekly NFL pre-game show Monday Night Countdown. Berman will be live from ESPN's studios alongside Mike Ditka, Tom Jackson, Keyshawn Johnson, and Cris Carter. Also joining them will be ESPN Insiders Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter with a look back at all of Sunday's games and a look ahead to Monday night's inter-conference match-up. Suzy Kolber will be live on site from Sun Life Stadium alongside Steve Young, Ray Lewis, and Trent Dilfer.

WASHINGTON: US Vice President Mike Pence escalated Washington's pressure campaign against Beijing on Thursday by accusing China of "malign" efforts to undermine President Donald Trump ahead of next month's congressional elections.
In what was billed as a major policy address, Pence sought to build on Trump's speech at the United Nations last week in which he alleged that China was trying to interfere in the pivotal Nov. 6 midterm elections. Neither Trump nor Pence provided hard evidence of Chinese meddling.
Pence's speech at the Hudson Institute think tank in Washington marked a sharpened U.S. approach toward China that goes beyond the bitter trade war between the world's two biggest economies and includes disputes such as cyber activities, Taiwan and freedom of the seas.
China has previously denied Trump's accusation.
He said Beijing had "mobilized covert actors, front groups, and propaganda outlets to shift Americans' perception of Chinese policies" and was targeting its tariffs to hurt states where Trump has had strong support.
The allegations have raised questions as to whether Trump and his aides are trying to deflect attention from an investigation of his campaign's possible ties to Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and also set up China for the blame if Republicans do poorly in next month's elections. The vote will determine whether they keep control of Congress.
The Chinese Embassy in Washington referred queries about Pence's speech to an interview China's ambassador to the United States, Cui Tiankai, gave to National Public Radio on Wednesday.
Cui said Beijing wanted to resolve the trade war with Washington through negotiations but that would required goodwill and good faith from both sides. He said this was currently not sufficient from the U.S. side, whose position has kept changing.
Washington has long cited China as a major culprit in the cyber hacking of U.S. government and corporate databases. But U.S. officials and independent analysts say they have not detected the kind of systematic manipulation of social media and hacking of emails that Russia is alleged to have engaged in during the 2016 election, which Trump won.
Trump has justified his tough trade policy against Beijing with accusations that China steals U.S. intellectual property, limits access to its own market and unfairly subsidize state-owned companies. The two countries have imposed increasingly severe rounds of tariffs on each other.
He also urged Google to immediately end development of its "Dragonfly" app that would make it easier to track someone's internet searches and thus strengthen the Chinese Communist Party's censorship efforts.
Google declined to comment on Pence's statement. Instead, it reiterated that its China search engine project is "exploratory" and not close to launching.
Bloomberg Businessweek cited 17 unnamed intelligence and company sources as saying that Chinese spies had placed computer chips inside equipment used by about 30 companies, as well as multiple U.S. government agencies, which would give Beijing secret access to internal networks. Apple Inc AAPL.O and Amazon AMZN.O denied the report.
He accused China of "reckless harassment" because of an incident on Sunday in which a Chinese naval vessel nearly collided with a U.S. destroyer, the Decatur, near the Spratley islands in the South China Sea.
"We will not be intimidated," Pence said of the operation, which was the latest attempt to counter what Washington sees as Beijing's efforts to limit freedom of navigation in the strategic waters.
China's Defense Ministry said a Chinese naval ship had been sent to warn the U.S. vessel to leave and that Beijing had irrefutable sovereignty over the South China Sea islands and the waters around them.
Pence accused China of using its economic power to bully other countries and said it had threatened the stability of the Taiwan Strait by pressuring three Latin American countries to sever ties with Taiwan and recognize Beijing. China considers the self-ruled island a wayward province.


Hello everyone! Okay I gotta admit, brow products are one of my staple makeup products that I know I cannot live without. Such a simple thing like this can actually change your whole look. I used to love Silkygirl's Natural Brow pencil so much. But today I'm gonna share with you guys a product that replaces the Silkygirl one from my makeup routine.
This Skinfood Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake is a duo eyebrow powder that comes in a small palette that looks like a chocolate piece from a chocolate bar. I appreciate the sleek and slim packaging that makes it easy so carry it around in my purse. The description says that it contains real cacao powder from chocolate that helps to protect eyebrows, keeping skin healthy around eye areas and this eyebrow powder creates a beautifully natural brow.
It comes with a freaking huge mirror which I loveeeee. I find myself gravitating towards this palette instead of my compact powder to be carried in my purse for its mirror so that I don't have to bring other bulky mirrors for touch ups. It also comes with a small brow brush so you don't have to bring a separate brush for travel. Though I found that it is quite hard to work with the brush due to the short handle, so I always use my own brow brush.
As far as color selection goes, there are two types that you can choose from which are #1Gray Khaki Black and #2Gray Brown. I got one in #1 since I have darker hair. It comes with a grey-taupe shade and another one is in dark brown. I abused that dark brown color lol. It's the perfect shade for my liking. I don't really use the lighter shade, and if I do I only use it for the inner part of my eyebrows and dark brown for the rest for that gradient effect.
As you can see from the swatch above, it may not seems like it is that pigmented, but that is actually a good thing for an eyebrow products, especially for beginners. It is safer to build up the color than going straight with a very pigmented shade that might end up making your eyebrows look a little harsh. So with a pigmentation like this, you can have a control.
Note that I only put the product on my left eyebrow only. I haven't put concealer around my eyebrow hence it looking a little messy. But I can go the day with this look, it doesn't really matter because I think the eyebrow cake already did a great job at giving it shape. I am so not a pro when it comes to eyebrows department, but this product makes it really easy for me to practice because it looks very natural. It gives a soft look, so if you are more towards the bold type of eyebrows, I suggest that you top it off with an eyebrow pencil or pen.
Is it waterproof? Nope! Well, it's a powder product anyway. But as long as you don't rub the product in contact with water, it will not move. It's not gonna be dissolved just like that when water hits it. It is however, very long lasting. It really lasts all day on me.
Hi there! I bought it from althea.com for RM15, but unfortunately the don't sell this there anymore. I am not sure where else you can find it, sorry!

Lembit 'massively insecure'

Cheeky Girl Gabriela's mother has revealed why her daughter split with MP Lembit Opik
We can't say we were too surprised to hear that MP Lembit Opik split with his Cheeky Girl, Gabriela Irimia, but now Gabriela's mother Margit has come out to with reason behind their separation.
Margit has said that Lembit had "massive insecurities" which made Gabriela stressed and anxious.
She said: "Gabriela started out happy but has felt more and more under pressure. She wakes every morning with her hands shaking and her eyes red. She isn't sleeping because she has so many thoughts running through her mind."
Margit also suggested that Gabriela, who is 18 years younger than Lembit, wasn't ready to settle down and have children.
"There's a huge gap between them. She doesn't want to be his wife or have a baby. She's not ready to settle down."
Rumours are now circulating that this split could be temporary and a publicity stunt for their new 'Living with The Cheeky Girls' series on Living TV.
But those girls would never do anything like that would they?
