Nine Lee University biology majors, along with their biology professor Dr. Lori West, recently participated in a service project with North Lee Elementary kindergarteners. West and her students spent the morning doing hands-on holiday-themed science activities with each of the kindergarten classes.
"My students and I always enjoy sharing our passion for science with the community," said West. "We loved working with the kindergarten students (and teachers!) at North Lee this year. To see the expressions on their faces when they performed the experiments was truly rewarding."

The Lee group helped the students make ornaments while learning about oil and water, decorate pictures of Christmas trees using their fingerprints, use hot chocolate to learn about different states of matter, and utilize the trebuchet (shooter) to "launch" Santa back to the North Pole "since his sleigh was broken."
Other science "stations" included fake snow, slime, magnets, magic milk, and storms in a glass.
"It was a great opportunity for our kindergarten students to work with Lee University students," said Jennifer Wilson, kindergarten teacher at North Lee. "We enjoyed learning about science with hands-on experiments. What a great way to integrate fun and learning!"

Parade of Favorites 2019 to take Place Saturday
Lee recently hosted Q Union, a national event with the theme "Create a Better Future."
Matthew Samples speaks at the Q Union event, held on campus.
Lee University recently hosted Q Union, a national event with the theme "Create a Better Future." This experience featured three national speakers on simulcast, along with three Lee student speakers. The goal of this event was to educate, inspire and offer people of faith creative ways to respond to the difficult challenges facing campuses and communities.
Q Union allowed Lee to join with thousands of Christians on college campuses and in cities throughout the United States.
"We are fortunate to be part of this national event to help our students explore how they can bring hope and leadership on our campus and beyond in challenging times," said Dr. Mike Hayes, vice president for student development.
The first national speaker was Malcolm Gladwell, author and journalist, with a message titled, "Talk to Strangers." Rebekah Lyons, author and speaker, then encouraged attendees to, "Establish Daily Rhythms." The last national speaker, pastor and author Francis Chan, spoke on how to "Build True Community."
"I was really challenged this year to look how I am setting myself up for the future," said Matt Smolen, junior biology major at Lee. "This came in many ways, from looking inside of myself, to building a strong community around me. I believe Q Union pushed me, and all of the other student leaders in that room, to start building lifelong systems that can create a better future for many years to come."
Lee University student speakers took the stage of Pangle Hall to share on three topics. Randyl Music, a senior English major, spoke on "Internal Resistance." Sarah Sajja, a senior biology major, asked "Who's in Your Circle?" Matthew Samples, a communication studies senior, addressed the "Habit of Unlearning."

Nationalist Sadr's Iraq election wins surprises regional rivals
Shia populist cleric and Iraqi nationalist Moqtada al Sadr won the May 12 Iraqi elections to the surprise of Iran, Turkey, the United States and many Iraq experts. Sadr is against Israel, the United States and Iran, and also opposes the presence of Turkish troops on Iraqi territory. Now he is the kingmaker of Iraq's elections, winning 54 out of 329 seats in the Iraqi parliament.
Washington was hoping Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al Abadi would win as a result of his defeat of Islamic State (ISIS), while Iran backed the Conquest alliance headed by the leader of the paramilitary Badr organisation, Hadi Al Ameri. But Abadi was not able to win the confidence of the majority of Iraqis, although he did win in the Sunni Arab province of Mosul, which would limit Turkish influence in the future.
"The U.S. will view this result as a middling outcome: not the worst result of Conquest coming out on top, nor the best result of a resounding Nasr [Abadi list] endorsement," Michael Knights, a Middle East analyst at the Washington Institute told Ahval.
"We are very well aware of Moqtada al-Sadr and his background and his positions now, yes," U.S. State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert told reporters on Tuesday.
For Turkey, any win by majority Sunni Arab or Turkmen lists would be a win, but Sunni Arab majority parties did not do well, including the Turkmen in Kirkuk.
"Turkey has no role. Sunni political parties that were backed by Turkey were destroyed after ISIS. It's difficult for them to play any big role in Iraqi politics for the next coming four years," Dr. Nahro Zagros, the vice president of Soran University told Ahval.
As an example, he gave the Turkish-backed Iyad Alawi's Iraqiya list that won the majority of the seats in the March 2010 elections, but still failed to form a government due to Iranian interference. After all, in Iraq, governments are formed not by the party winning the most seats, but by largest party coalition.
"In the past elections, Alawi won most of the votes, but he was blocked from forming the government because of Iranian interference," Zagros said.
Now U.S. coalition envoy Brett McGurk and General Qasim Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, are both in Iraq to influence the coalition formation.
"Soleimani has more sympathisers than Brett McGurk and understands Iraq better. I don't know if the Americans will be more powerful to influence the Iraqis, Iran is still more powerful than the U.S. unfortunately," Zagros said.
Washington was hoping Abadi would win the elections again to counter Iranian influence in Iraq. Kurdish officials said this was one of the main reasons Abadi got U.S. support when he forcefully took back disputed territories from the Kurds, including oil-rich Kirkuk in October last year, a month after the Iraqi Kurds' independence referendum.
Many analysts said Abadi's role in unifying Iraq would rally Iraqi's behind him.
"The U.S. seemed confident Abadi would win since he literally saved Iraq from ISIS and kept Iraq intact after the Kurdish independence referendum," David M. Witty, an adjunct professor at Norwich University told Ahval.
However, there was a very low turnout with fewer than 45 percent casting their ballots, with Iraqis being fed up with failed election promises of services, more jobs and combating corruption of politicians. Due to the low turnout and discontent, Sadr and the Iranian-backed list won more seats than Abadi.
"I think Sadr's victory has taken everyone by surprise but, big picture, foreign governments will have to work with whatever government is formed in Baghdad and it will likely be another national unity one which means Washington, Tehran and Ankara will have friendly parties included within it," said Iraq expert Joel Wing.
Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) President Masoud Barzani called and congratulated Sadr on his victory, he said, adding that there was talk that Sadr was thinking of including the Kurdish leader's party in the core of his new coalition. "That would make Turkey happy," he said.
But Wing said that Baghdad would not act against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has been fighting Turkey for more than 30 years and has its headquarters in the remote Qandil Mountains of northeastern Iraq.
"Baghdad is not going to do anything about the PKK and neither is the KRG. They don't have any influence in the Qandil region where the PKK is located. All they can do is make empty statements and try to appease Ankara with them," he said.
According Diliman Abdulkader, Director of the Kurdistan Project at Endowment for Middle East Truth, Sadr's win goes against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's long-term strategy in Iraq.
"If Turkey respects sovereign Iraqi territory, relations will continue, if not then it'll deteriorate. But Erdoğan is keen on targeting the PKK since his own elections are also nearing," Abdulkader said. "Under Sadr, Turkey will be forced to pack up and leave. He wants Iran and Turkey out."
According to Ceng Sagnic, a researcher at Tel Aviv University's Moshe Dayan Centre for Middle Eastern Studies, the absolute winner of the Iraqi elections is Iran. "The two leading blocs, Sadrists and Hadi Al-Ameri's Fateh are expected to seek common ground with Tehran rather than the U.S., and the sole U.S. ally Haider Al-Abadi will need to make critical concessions if he is ever involved in the new government. Therefore the post-ISIS era in Iraq has begun with serious challenges for the U.S., especially as its natural allies, the Kurds, have lost almost everything they have except a relatively weak government in Erbil and have less to offer for the U.S. project," she said.
However, Sadr himself tweeted that he would be willing to ally with non-Iranian backed factions, including Abadi's list, Barzani's Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), and other lists, which would mean he could contain Iranian influence, and Abadi could still possibly become the prime minister.
"I think the Iran-aligned groups got just what I expected. The difference was that Sadr's populist push got seats I thought would go to Abadi. But this is bad for Iran, since instead of Badr being a junior partner in an Abadi government, now Sadr will be the power behind an Abadi government," political risk analyst Kirk H. Sowell told Ahval. "Sadr is very likely to elect Abadi," he said.
"I think we going to see a very complicated situation in Iraq, the next four years," Zagros said. "If Sadr will be in the opposition, you can expect a lot of protests, since he is the most powerful to mobilize the people. On the other hand, if he forms the government, one of the biggest military actors in Iraq, the (Iranian-backed Popular Mobilization Units) will oppose his rule. So, it's either way going to be more complicated and complex," he said.

When we arrive, there is a reception desk to take your name, enter the names for bowling, and announce the track number.
Once arrived at the bowling space we realize that there is a shelf with old shoe sizes EU30 or EU46.
We wait for our free track with 10 minutes late. Once on our track, the balls are all oily, sticky tracks, and disgusting shoes.


The main objective of this work package is to exploit all of the available on-board hardware (and virtual internet) sensors in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of user context, from multiple points of view.
Geographical localization and absolute orientation estimation: hardware sensors (e.g. GPS, digital compass, accelerometers), a-priori knowledge about the World (e.g. maps, Digital Elevation Models, geo-tagged media), and vision based algorithms are exploited in a coherent way in order to provide accurate measures also in challenging situations where traditional location sensors fail.
Scene reconstruction and user behaviour understanding: information measured by all available sensors is used to infer what the user is doing and what he could experience with his senses.
The outcomes of WP4 will follow standard formats as much as possible, and will be made accessible from other VENTURI WPs through well defined APIs. All WP4 outcomes, and when possible their preliminary results, will be considered for the preparation of deliverables D4.2 and D4.3.


As the title of this piece states, I find it interesting that we each handle life's problems in different ways, with no one way being better than another, but that choice is always the driving factor. Each one is as unique as the circumstances that brought us to the thought in the first place. As for me it is as if I were jumping from rock to rock in the middle of a fast moving river with rapids, trying to stay balanced and focused for the moment on the thought at hand.
While using this form of metaphor it at least to me serves to be the best way to describe certain events that come to our minds when we are in trying times. The symbolizing of a rock as a thought from our past experiences and or circumstances and then jumping from rock to another rock symbolizes how fast our minds can go from one subject to another, as we try to center ourselves with the thought or emotion at hand, balancing ourselves for the next step or leap of faith that will hopefully bring us, peace of mind and or a since of balance or even direction.
The thoughts maybe about friends or family members who have past away, they could be about a special pet that was in your life or even an event that was memorable and all that it may entail. It is because of these thoughts that they should stir up feelings, and emotions that become the focus of that memory. When thinking about such profound and memorable events in ones life, I have noticed that it usually always seems to deal with the emotional side of that thought, or rather that something has influenced the thought that now presents itself in the form of emotion. This by itself is just thought but when the thought is driven by emotion then it is this emotion that motivates action which can cause one to change direction or the path of ones life and give it clarity and focus and meaning or even purpose.
The one that crosses my mind and touches my heart this time was brought on by watching an episode of 7th Heaven, when Happy, the pet dog is in the veterinary hospital. This episode reminds me of Miss Colleen, my pet and companion. She was a beautiful dog of Irish wolfhound and Black Labrador decent. She was in many ways the most genital, loving, devoted, trusting companion anyone could have wanted, and I was lucky enough to be her companion as well. We made a good team, we were meant to be together at that point in our lives together. Everyone who ever met her felt the love and grace that she emanated. Even folks who did not care for dogs or where afraid of them, took a liking towards her, she truly was a very special animal and defiantly one of a kind; she literally was my best friend.
My daughter (Automa), and granddaughter (Truvy) getting a quick shower from Miss Colleen.
Anyhow, to let you folks know I was not and could not be with her in the final moments of her life and as for that I will always hold a bit of guilt in me for the rest of my days. But let me explain, at the time she was put to sleep I was in Florida, handing the final requests of my mothers estate do to her passing away just two weeks before. I was do to leave Florida the next morning after an arduous week and a half of running all over the state but then choosing to do something special for one of my nephews (Steven) and his girlfriend and soon to be wife (Chelsea). That was to take them to meet up with two of my nephews buddies that are in the U.S. Navy, and that they were only in port for a 24 hour furlough for the first time in over 6 months at sea. It was with great pleasure that I was able to help my nephew hook up for the day with his pals giving them a day out on the town rather than having to hang out on base. After all, they deserved it for protecting my family and our life style here at home besides I am a veteran of the US. Coast Guard and I could relate to their needing a day out. But even though we all were having a bit of fun letting off a little steam from the trying times in our own individual lives, the evening would be nothing more than memorable to each of us for the rest of our lives.
That one common memory would be and will always be, the passing of Miss Colleen, for we listened on a speaker phone as my friend (Sabrina), who just happens to be a veterinary assistant, gave the injection that would take her life. In the background we could hear my daughter (Automa) sobbing as she held on to Miss Colleen and as she tried to talk to her letting her know that she would be missed and loved, very much and then thanking Miss Colleen for being part of our family. While on the other hand I was thinking and feeling the whole gambit of emotion that most people would have felt and that was that as much as I wanted to see her one more time, to hold and hug her myself, to touch her face with my own hands and feel the love we had for each other which you would have seen in her eyes and with her demeanor, to let her know how much I loved her and would truly miss having her around and that I appreciated her loyalty and companionship to me. I realized that it just was not meant to be. We all could tell the very moment that Miss Colleen took her last breath as she passed way. I have to say that there was not a dry eye in the truck, for we all were in tears and were swept up with the emotion of what had just taken place.
Yes, I did have a choice and I thought hard about having my friend (Sabrina), try to keep her alive for at least another 48 hours but then reality set in and I thought of her, Miss Colleen, instead of myself. That choice was made do to the constant communications with (Sabrina and Automa) during this period. I was very knowledgeable about the pain and suffering that she was experiencing do to the Lyme disease transmitted from a tic bite she got while I took her for a walk on the battlefield just a few weeks prior to her illness. Then including the many trips back and forth to the animal hospital over the past two weeks, the countless days and nights she must have felt that I did not care about her because I was not there with her in her hour of need and suffering. All the personal care, and professional attention and the drugs and the blood transfusion that (Dr. Mark, Sabrina's husband) gave her.The several times that my daughter and granddaughter were there to visit her while she was in her cage or placed in a small room so that they could show her some love and attention.
For the anguish I personally felt being separated from her during this time in her life just hoping and praying that she would somehow pull through and knowing that I could not take having another pet put down. See Miss Colleen was the first dog I had rescued since I had to put my Alaskan malamute to sleep some 19 years before. His name was Sire Teddy Bear or Sire for short. But no, I had to make the decision to go through with the euthanasia procedure the night before I would leave Florida knowing that within another 20 hours from that time, I would be home.
I felt that it was the most humane thing I could do and the greatest physical act of love that I could give to her, as well as being the least selfish thing for me. How I thought and how I felt deep inside of me did not matter. All I could think about was what I was going through in the present tense. Trying not to spend much time thinking about how things were going to change, but not really knowing how or really caring about how my life in so many ways would be affected by these events to this point. By being kept in the loop of communications and knowing all of these things somehow all the while thinking I could handle the decision to do what needed to be done, not giving a second thought as to how I would feel or handle her not be home when I got back.
For a few moments I could only feel the pain of suffering that I was going through, that being the passing of my mother in Florida, a nephew in Ohio, my father in Texas and now my companion and best friend in Pennsylvania, 4 deaths all very personal and all in just two weeks time. Within another two weeks I would have to face the reality of one more death and that would be a dear friend and com-padre also from Pennsylvania making the total of 5 deaths to deal with. My heart was broken; my feelings were in turmoil and my emotions almost out of control. It was only by the grace of God and because of the respect and love from those in the vehicle with me that I maintained my composure. For that I will always be thankful to my family and his friends as well as my family and friends in Pennsylvania.
Everything seems to be intertwined with each other it is through these circumstances as well as my past life experiences that will have such a profound influence on who I am and what I choose to do with my life. The emotions I feel are real and the loss of them hurts deeply. Somehow I know I'll be OK because time truly does heal and because of adversity comes strength to ones character. I'm sure I'll be a better person when everything settles down and I regain control of my life.
But for now all anyone can do under these circumstances is to have faith, hope and love because these are truly gifts form God. The ability to except adversity and face it head on and to make the best out of a bad situation is what a lot of life is all about. What separates us from other men and women in this world that decide to follow a path that leads to self destruction is our ability to except and embrace change and how we perceive the course that has now become our path.
Folks say that God doesn't give us more than we can handle all I have to say to them is that God must think I have very broad shoulders, because I feel the weight of the world pressing down on me in my life and I thank him for the understanding and wisdom that I have about life and for the enlightenment he has shown me through adversity and the ability to persevere. I also know that he must have something pretty big planned special for me to accomplish with my life just because of all the things he has brought me through.
I guess the old saying is true and that is that he is the potter and we are the clay. I'm learning patients and dependability but I am also ready to regain and embrace my new life. This ability or strength or insight should give us all the courage to rely on ourselves and that would truly be a gift from God and with that being said, it truly would be our very own and very personal Independence Day.
Thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts and I hope you will explore your thoughts and memories with a new perception that brings you closer to where you want to be.Oh and one more thing, Valentines Day would be Miss Colleens birthday and yes she was a LOVE, puppy.

Hollywood Forever cemetery was founded in 1899 by farmer and businessman Isaac Van Nuys. Originally called Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery, the site was one of the first "park-like" cemeteries on the West Coast. It features a lush green landscape, classical architecture, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites.
Hollywood Forever is the final resting place for more Hollywood bigwigs and celebrities than any other cemetery in the world. Stars such as Cecil B. DeMille, Johnny Ramone, and Estelle Getty have all been laid to rest here. During the movie industry's growth in the 1920s, visitors would flock to Los Angeles in search of celebrity homes and tombstones. Among the tombs was industrialist William A. Clark Jr.'s Greek Revival-style catacomb. Visitors must walk over a 40-foot granite bridge in order to reach Clark's resting place, which sits on its own island in a lake and cost $500K to complete.
Though the cemetery flourished as an attraction through the 1940s, it became increasingly downtrodden over the next few decades. By the 1990s, the site suffered from mismanagement, neglect, and an earthquake that left potholes and open crypts in its wake. In late 1997, 27-year old Tyler Cassity purchased the lot for a mere $375,000 and has since worked to restore the estimated $7 million worth of damages from the decades of neglect.
In the restoration process, Cassity has uncovered long-forgotten mausoleums and elaborate rooms filled with stained-glass windows and vaulted ceilings. In October of 1999, Cassity erected a granite monument to Hattie McDaniel, an Oscar-winning African-American actress who died in 1952. Though McDaniel wished to be buried in the cemetery along with her Hollywood contemporaries, the bigotry of the time prevented her wish from being fulfilled. "They made a horrible decision and it is in our power to correct it," Cassity said.
Since 2000, Hollywood Forever has teamed up with film organization Cinespia to feature "cemetery screenings" each summer. Thousands of people gather at the site with lawn chairs, blankets, and picnic baskets, where they lie out under the stars and watch classic Hollywood films projected onto the side of a mausoleum. In true Los Angeles form, this mausoleum contains the remains of silent film actor Rudolph Valentino–his grave often decorated with the red kiss marks of admirers–actor Peter Finch, and dancer Eleanor Powell.
The screenings were meant to encourage a different interaction between cemeteries and the public, and have become a "must-do" event for local Angelenos. Though Cinespia mostly sticks to screening Hollywood classics such as It Happened One Night or Rebel Without a Cause, movies such as The Muppet Movie and Pee Wee's Big Adventure have also made the cut. For brave souls, horror films such as Bride of Frankenstein and The Shining are shown, and of course, Halloween plays on October 31st.
Parking is free for bikes or motorcycles and a nominal $10 fee for cars. Parking is also limited and fills fast. Get there early to ensure you're able to get a spot in the lot. There is additional street parking near the cemetery as well but that too gets nonexistent close to showings. While you can buy tickets at the gate, the line to actually gain access and purchase tickets gets very long very fast. Tickets at the gate tend to sell out before the showings especially on holidays such as the 4th of July which includes a fireworks display as well. Buy online to skip the headaches.

A novel approach of vertical city in southern china utilizing construction robotics, open building principles, modular construction and prefabrication

Open building, Modular construction, Vertical city, On-site construction factory
A number of new developments are claimed in the name of "vertical city", yet few represents an important characteristic of a city, which is the ability to constantly transform. Based on the analysis of several successful and unsuccessful precedents of building complexes, this paper aims to propose a novel approach of vertical city featuring constant vertical urban transformation by applying the state-of-the-art construction technologies. Meanwhile, this vertical city approach has the ability to integrate five basic elements of a city: vertical and horizontal circulation systems as its paths, a flexible building envelope as its edges, variable mix-used functional blocks as its districts, sky bridges and roof gardens as its nodes, and the complex itself as a landmark. More importantly, it can change its size, form and function with the help of construction automation technologies and open building principles, and responsively evolve in accordance with social, economic, and environmental shifts in a self-sufficient manner, meanwhile avoiding the risk of being homogeneous with surrounding buildings. Eventually, the complex will perform as a series of interconnected components which act together to form a living organism that performs various functions and purposes such as office, residential, commercial, school, hospital, police station, and infrastructure

Cash No Longer Necessary for Utah Cannabis Patients
NewsUtah
Utah medical cannabis patients have gotten used to a cash-only system, as many banks and credit card companies still refuse to work with cannabis businesses. Now, in light of the hassle and potential theft risk that causes, as well as sanitation risks due to COVID, a new app that allows for cashless transactions is being rolled out.
"People want a very similar experience to what they have with CVS or REI or anywhere else, where you do curbside pickup," said Chris Jeffrey, managing partner and CEO of WholesomeCo Cannabis, the company that runs West Bountiful pharmacy. "Avoiding the whole need for cash is something that consumers want."
This new system will be helpful, as it will allow patients to keep from touching cash or paying hefty ATM fees. It also makes transactions feel more legitimate and eliminates constant cash drops or high security surrounding the business carrying so much cash. Hopefully, it will also get rid of the feeling that both buyers and sellers of cannabis are still doing something wrong.
Of Course There's An App For That
The app that is saving the day when it comes to digital transactions is called Hypur. Use of Hypur is aesthetically similar to Venmo, as it simply allows users to send money from their bank account directly to the cannabis pharmacy to complete the transactions. The app is free for users, although any pharmacies will have to pay a fee, just like they would for a payment service through a bank or credit card provider.
"It just makes it so patients now don't have to carry a bunch of cash with them, and that is a major public safety concern," said Richard Oborn, who heads the Center for Medical Cannabis for the Utah Department of Health. "I can understand why they wouldn't want to be running around with $100 or $200."
While the app does charge a little for companies, Oberon expects that many will want to get on board about this. However, he does admit that some patients might be wary of connecting an app like this to their bank account, since they'd see that as another admission that they use their money to buy cannabis. However, he doesn't think it will become a major setback.
"But I think the trade-off is worth it for many cannabis patients," he said, adding that more than 10,500 Utahns have registered as medical cannabis card holders since the state rolled out its program about seven months ago.
And most agree that this is the first attempt at such a thing, and since trial-and-error is involved, it is a strong first step.
"It's a nascent industry, and we're in the early inning," Ross Lipson, CEO and co-founder of Dutchie, said. "It's all uncharted territory, and there's a lot of rules and regulations … that we have to build into the system to help the dispensaries stay compliant."
Regardless of the hiccups rolling something like this out, Hypur will make cannabis transactions a lot more easy for medical patients and could help pave the way for the future of electronic cannabis transactions.

Move over, sheet masks: There's a new mask in town. Whether your skin is naturally dehydrated or the change in season is the culprit, a jelly face mask is a must this time of year, as they're essentially like a tall glass of water for your face. Packed full of moisture-rich ingredients and with a cooling, calming texture that soothes even the most irritated skin, the best jelly face masks leave your skin feeling supple, refreshed and glowy.
Originally from Korea (like all the best skincare ideas), jelly face masks have a light, bouncy texture. The formula won't drip or make a mess either. There are tonnes of different jelly face masks out there, and whilst most of them focus on hydration, there are other benefits too. If you love acids, try Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Jelly Mask (£15), which contains resurfacing AHAs and a calming jelly texture. If you're more low-maintenance, try an overnight mask like Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask (£40).
Or if you're feeling fancy, try Bella Hadid's choice, Dior Glow Better Fresh Jelly Mask (£46).
Whatever your skin type, we've got a jelly face mask to suit you. Scroll down to see the best of the best.
With a blend of lactic and glycolic acids, this gentle exfoliator works to reduce breakouts, and leaves skin bright and radiant.
Packed with hyaluronic acid and watermelon extract (both are great for soothing irritated skin), apply two scoops of this all over your face and neck before bed. Then, in the morning, wash it off and reveal a brighter, softer complexion.
With antioxidant-rich prickly pear seed oil and orange peel, this ultra-soothing mash calms stressed skin whilst fighting off the free-radical aggressors that aggravate it.

A two-in-one mask, the hydro-jelly serum cools and soothes whilst the face mask infuses skin with vitamins and antioxidants. This mask works to improve skin tone and texture.
Perfect as a pre-makeup treatment, this hardworking mask gently exfoliates skin, tightens the appearance of pores, and boosts collagen production for plump, smooth skin.

Loved by Bella Hadid (need we say more?), Dior's fresh jelly mask is like a facial in a tub. In just three minutes, you'll get a gentle yet powerful peel thanks to the combination of citrus fruit extracts and apricot kernel extracts.
Featuring a cocktail of hyaluronic acid, grapefruit extract, trehalose and tamarind seed, this jelly sheet mask helps to balance the skin's own natural oil levels to unclog blocked pores and lessen the chance of blemishes and breakouts.

Stimulus Check Latest: Will The $1,400 Payment Survive Negotiations On The American Rescue Plan?
Filed Under:American Rescue Plan, Norm Elrod, Stimulus Checks
(CBS Detroit) — A third stimulus check can't come fast enough for some people. The pandemic rages on, leaving a trail of suffering and economic destruction. COVID case numbers keep climbing; unemployment remains historically high. More help has been promised, in the form of a $1.9 trillion economic relief package known as the American Rescue Plan. It would include a $1,400 stimulus payment, higher unemployment insurance, an expanded child tax credit and much more if passed in its proposed form. But that's a big if. What's in the relief package, and how soon could aid reach those in need?
The American Rescue Plan aims to stop the worsening COVID-19 pandemic and prop up the economy that it continues to ravage. The Plan has three main thrusts: $400 billion to stop the advance of COVID and improve the nation's vaccination capacity; $1 trillion to financially support struggling families and $440 billion to help communities and small businesses. The proposal, in its current form, faces a potentially difficult road to becoming law.
>>READ: Does GameStop's Soaring Stock Indicate A Possible Market Bubble?
Economic aid accounts for a little more than half the Plan's cost. And that aid could come in many forms. Topping the list is another round of stimulus checks, amounting to $1,400 (or $2,000, when added to the $600 payments that went out at the start of the year). These direct payments have broad support across party lines, and seem likely to become a reality. It's really more a matter of how and when.
But many Republicans continue to push back against the $1.9 trillion price tag attached to the latest overall stimulus bill containing that third check. Without the support of 10 Senate Republicans, there won't be enough votes to overcome a filibuster. Democrats would have to resort to budget reconciliation, which would extend the process but reduce the vote threshold to 51. Another option, at least in theory, is to separate out stimulus checks into their own bill.
The Biden administration would like to pass the next stimulus package before the current one expires on March 14. Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader from New York, is aiming for the middle of March as well. Experts believe that the end of March is probably a more realistic timeline. Given recent experience, payments would begin to roll out a week or two later. But with tax season in full swing at that point, the IRS may encounter further delays.
A group of more left-leaning Democrats want to take it a step further. Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and at least 50 other House members, including Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, are advocating for $2,000 monthly payments through the end of the pandemic. The request to consider recurring payments came in a letter sent to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
>>READ: Stimulus Check Latest: Parents Could Receive Monthly Payments With Expanded Child Tax Credit
According to the letter, "we are experiencing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, with millions of Americans either unemployed, forced out of the workforce, or facing a decline in hours and wages. Worsening systemic inequities, such as food insecurity and housing instability, are most severe for Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, who are suffering higher infection and mortality rates of COVID-19 and higher unemployment levels, compared to white Americans. At the same time, many people of color are encountering reduced or stagnant incomes as frontline workers while not being able to access vital relief programs, such as unemployment insurance."
"Recurring direct payments until the economy recovers will help ensure that people can meet their basic needs, provide racially equitable solutions, and shorten the length of the recession," the letter continues. "One more check is not enough during this public health and economic crisis. Many families cannot afford to wait for 8 months between payments."
Beyond stimulus checks and the possibility of monthly stipends, economic relief could increase the flow of money to households in other ways. The American Rescue Plan calls for the $300 weekly federal unemployment supplement provided by the recent $900 billion stimulus package to be increased to $400 and extended through September. Those whose benefits elapsed, as well as those who don't normally qualify for benefits (i.e. freelancers and gig workers) would also be covered.
Another possible avenue for relief is an expansion of the child tax credit from $2,000 to $3,000 or $3,600, depending on the child's age and the family's income. Payments would be issued to qualifying parents on a monthly basis rather than through annual tax refunds. The IRS would pay out $300 per month for each child up to five years old and $250 per month for each child ages six through 17. The full amount would be available, regardless of a family's tax obligations.
>>READ: Stimulus Check Update: When Could The Third Payment Arrive?
Low-income workers who remain employed and those lucky enough to land jobs could find themselves receiving higher paychecks. The third stimulus package also proposes raising the national minimum wage to $15 per hour and removing the exemption for tipped workers. The minimum wage has stood at $7.25 per hour since 2009, though 20 states have recently increased theirs, and four more are scheduled to do so this year. As of 2019, close to 1.6 million workers received minimum wage or less, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Another boost to wallets could help the economy, especially after recent news that it shrank by 3.5 percent in 2020. That was the largest single-year decline since the end of World War II. Consumer spending, which makes up 70 percent of the economy, slowed drastically in the fourth quarter. Unemployment figures remain historically high, with 847,000 applying for first-time benefits last week. That's three to four-times higher than a typical week in the two years prior to the pandemic. The Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program received another 426,000 applications. As of earlier this month, approximately 18 million people were receiving some sort of unemployment benefit.
An economic bounceback depends on the widespread distribution of a vaccine. But efforts to inoculate the public have proceeded in fits and starts. Widespread shortages forced some cities, like New York, to temporarily close vaccination centers and cancel appointments last week. Mass vaccination sites continue to open up around the country, but progress is slow. Los Angeles residents have reported three to four-hour wait times at Dodger Stadium. Fenway Park in Boston is scheduled to open Monday as a vaccination site, though it will only be able to administer 500 doses to start. Meanwhile, domestic COVID cases are approaching 26 million, with deaths exceeding 430,000.

10 Ways Brad Womack's Return to 'The Bachelor' is Exactly Like 'Weekend at Bernie's 2'
Brad Womack. Bernie Lomax.
Beyond their eerily similar names, at first glance you might not see the similarities in their stories. But as a professional Bachelor blogger who just can't help taking my work home with me, a casual weekend viewing of Weekend at Bernie's 2 turned into a true revelation: They're exactly the same.
Well, maybe not exactly. But read these 10 connections between the 1993 goofy comedy sequel and the romantic reality show coming to your TV in January of 2011, and you'll discover: My theory's got legs. (Rigor mortised legs.)
1. You'll watch it because you have two hours to kill and nothing else is on.
As I discovered this weekend, Weekend at Bernie's 2 is available on Instant Netflix. This is a morsel of knowledge which, when discovered, is impossible to resist. Similarly, each and every episode of The Bachelor, at an inexplicable two hours per week, will be available on ABC.com and Hulu this winter. What are you going to do instead, read a book?
Related: Weekend at Bernie's 2 is downright boring until at least halfway through.
2. They both star human puppets with dead eyes and great poker faces.
That might be a little harsh on Brad, who really is a living, breathing human being (I … think?) and not an impossibly slowly decomposing carcass. But there's no denying that ABC has as much control over Brad's living body and soul as those greedy jerks Larry and Richard have over Bernie's dead body and soul. And Brad's about as likely as Bernie is to pipe up and say he's being used for other people's gains and amusement. The comparison brings to mind a troubling mental debate: Would you rather be an alive corporate puppet or a dead human one?
See also 'Bachelor Pad' Finale Spoilers: Who Wins? Who's Engaged? Reality Steve Spills All!
3. Both puppets are very rich and are plagued by excessively dramatic "white people problems."
The entire conflict of Weekend at Bernie's 2 revolves around whether young executives Larry and Richard (liars, jerks and corpse mutilators) can get to Bernie's "secret safe deposit box" in order to recover $2 million that Bernie embezzled. And, as we all know, the entire conflict of The Bachelor revolves around whether a rich, handsome man (who's been widely called a liar, jerk and worse) will find the love of his life from a limited pool of desperate, beautiful women. These plots are not at all alike, except they both involve lots of bikinis, and that they almost always succeed in causing us to ask, "Who cares?"
4. For people with little to no free will or cognitive ability, those puppets sure can get into a lot of unbelievable trouble. Crazy puppets!
Bernie's dead, voodoo-possessed body gets voodooed into everything from leading a conga line, to para-sailing, to scuba diving (without oxygen tank!) to leading a carnival parade full of people who got voodooed into goats. Despite his earnest efforts to cause as little drama or excitement as possible, Brad will inevitably do the opposite thanks to his unavoidable circumstances and insane supporting cast of ingratiating ladies.
And he'll probably end up para-sailing.
5. Both puppets are still the most desirable part of their respective movies/shows.
There is FAR too much of Weekend at Bernie's 2 that does not include Bernie's dead corpse dancing around in a track jacket and fishing cap. For a dead guy, he's still somehow a lot more entertaining than his thinking, talking co-stars. The film's attention revolves around him, and yet he does nothing. Do I need to explain how that is comparable to The Bachelor? I think you get it.

One (drunk) woman also falls in love with Bernie when he's in this upright, mobile but comatose state, despite his having not said a word, not to mention his CLEARLY BEING DEAD. Falling in love with a stranger who has given you no reason whatsoever to think he's the one true, shining star in your sky: It doesn't get more Bachelor than that.
To punctuate this point, I bring you an actual quote from Weekend at Bernie's 2: "You have to believe in the magic in order for it to work." Uhhh. By "magic," do you mean "LOVE"?
6. THIS!
"Rent me from ABC?" That could just as easily be Brad Womack's mantra. And jeep.
7. "Intensive therapy" is involved.
Brad has gone on record saying that part of his preparation for this second try at The Bachelor was a "radical personal transformation" brought on by "intensive therapy." Bernie is partially revived by a haphazard voodoo ceremony in a public restroom and made to dance toward money whenever he hears music. Now that's "intensive therapy."
8. Tropical destination!
Weekend at Bernie's 2 takes place in St. Thomas. The Bachelor is going to Costa Rica this year. Despite their vast geographical distance and cultural distinctions, since I've been to neither place, and both the film and the show [will] treat their respective locations as superficial tourist destinations, they look about the same to me.
9. They both pick up exactly where the last one left off. And will (probably) end exactly where the last one left off, too.
In Weekend at Bernie's, Bernie was murdered, and Larry and Richard got away with playing with his corpse. At the end of Weekend at Bernie's 2, Bernie is still dead, and Larry and Richard are still getting away with playing with his corpse.
See also 'Survivor': Is it Time to End Casting Gimmicks?
On The Bachelor season 11, Brad Womack's reputation was murdered. We don't yet know what will happen to Brad Womack at the end of The Bachelor. But if previous seasons are any indication, it's unlikely he'll come out smelling like roses.
10. It's not so much a "sequel" as a "reimagining" of the original.
This is just a stupid thing people say to get you to believe that their sequel/reboot/remake/spinoff isn't a totally redundant and unnecessary ripoff of an original that didn't need another chapter. So: Did it work? Do you want to watch now?
Well, just as I didn't learn my lesson with Bernie the first time, I'll still be back for The Bachelor in January, if only for the amazing recap possibilities — and to keep adding on to my theory that this 1993 film and a 2011 reality show that hasn't even been made yet are exactly alike. Will you join me?

Vice President Pence's Truthful Address
NEW YORK, May 13, 2019 /Standard Newswire/ -- Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on Vice President Mike Pence's speech at Liberty University:
On May 11, Vice President Mike Pence spoke at Liberty University's Commencement, offering a stirring address. "The truth is," he said, "we live in a time when the freedom of religion is under assault." He cited a report detailing how Christians are being persecuted more than any other religion today. Indeed, the very next day, six people, including a priest, were killed during a Sunday Mass by Islamists in Burkina Faso, a northwestern African nation; the church was burnt to the ground.
Pence also talked about attacks on religion in the United States. He said that "we live in a time when it's become acceptable and even fashionable to ridicule and even discriminate against people of faith." He cited as an example the reaction on the part of "the media and the secular Left" to his wife's teaching at a Christian elementary school earlier this year; she was vilified for doing so.
The vice president was right to say that "these attacks are un-American." He was also right to say that "Some of the loudest voices for tolerance today have little tolerance for traditional Christian beliefs." He didn't hold back in his admonition to the graduating class. He warned that "you're going to be asked not just to tolerate things that violate your faith; you're going to be asked to endorse them. You're going to be asked to bow down to the idols of the popular culture."
If anyone wants proof that Pence is right, just read about the attacks on religious freedom coming from left-wing gay rights activists. They never stop. Their goal is not tolerance--they want affirmation, and they want to eviscerate the rights of those with whom they disagree.
Pence does not exaggerate. Just last week the Catholic League called upon state lawmakers in Pennsylvania to initiate a vote of censure against Brian Sims, an LGBT activist and member of the PA House of Representatives. He recently badgered, and placed in danger, an elderly Catholic woman in a totally unprovoked attack. Her crime? She was praying the rosary outside a Planned Parenthood clinic. Sims previously victimized three Catholic teenage girls for the same "offense."
What Sims did was fascistic, but the media did not call him out for this the way they should have.
Already, Pence is being hammered by Charles Pierce, a left-wing secularist who hates Christianity. In an article posted on the website of Esquire, he calls Pence a "snowflake and drama queen." Is that what he would call the woman and the girls who were victimized by Sims? That's what Pence was getting at--serious stuff--not some stupid joke.
The Catholic League's website provides all the evidence one needs to demonstrate the veracity of Pence's remarks. Congratulations to Vice President Mike Pence for telling the truth about the unhealthy state of religious liberty and the positive steps that the Trump administration is taking to remedy this situation.

Doug Reviews: War Dogs (2016)
From Director Todd Phillips comes War Dogs, a film based on a true story about two twenty-somethings that scored a multi-million dollar weapons contract and the bizarre chain of events that surrounded their business. In looking at Phillips' previous films, is War Dogs more like The Hangover or The Hangover III?
It is the mid-2000s and David Packouz (Miles Teller) is a college dropout currently eking out a living as a massage therapist. He has no prospects and little ambition, but he still manages to have a ridiculously hot girlfriend, Iz (Ana de Armas). He reconnects with his best friend from middle school, Efraim Diveroli (Jonah Hill), and the two of them go into business together as weapons dealers. After some success, they manage to land a massive government contract, but their relative inexperience leads them to work with less than savory individuals such as Henry Girard (Bradley Cooper), a weapons wholesaler who is on a U.S. Government watch list. However, the biggest obstacle to their success may be their own greed and mistrust.
While the story at the heart of War Dogs is rather incredible, it is also very funny to watch these two inept idiots try to make it in the arms business. There are, obviously, some serious moments as well—this is a movie about war profiteering, after all—and those play well to a degree, but not nearly as well as the comedic elements. This is why I mentioned two of Phillips' Hangover films at the start. The first film was a comedic romp, while the third film was a dark, barely funny mess. War Dogs is kind of in the middle. Based on the Rolling Stone article, "Arms and the Dudes," the film is clearly aping Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street in its execution. Teller narrates the film and he tells the audience just what a bad boy he has been. The only difference is that Packouz, as he is portrayed in the film, is not a freewheeling philanderer like Jordan Belfort. But the whole film really feels like it is trying to replicate the success of Scorsese's far superior film. That doesn't make this film bad, it just feels a little bit like a pastiche. Also, while the theme of the film—of war becoming its own economy—is an important one, this isn't a new idea. President Eisenhower warned of the "military industrial complex" in his farewell address—a very famous speech that War Dogs doesn't even acknowledge—and in the Metal Gear Solid video games, the idea of the "war economy" is covered in great depth. War Dogs, though, presents the concept as if it is the first time this idea has ever been floated. That may stem from the characters' inexperience, but it just came off as uninformed. That being said, I still enjoyed the film for the most part.
The performances are pretty good here. Teller is good as usual, but I never got the feeling that he was really in love with De Armas. I don't know if they just didn't have chemistry or that I didn't believe that aspect of his performance. There is a moment where Iz tells Packouz that he needs to be honest with her or she's leaving him and Teller's protestations are less than impassioned. Hill is very good as the slimy Diveroli, though I will admit that his distinctive laugh got a little old after a while. I also really liked Cooper in his supporting role and wish that he had been in more scenes.
Overall, War Dogs is a funny film that has been done better in the past, but that makes it no less entertaining. With two solid lead performances from Jonah Hill and Miles Teller, it's definitely worth a watch, but not necessarily at the theater.

Seeking religious freedom, the pilgrims fled England and traveled to Holland in 1608. In 1620 they sailed to America. Women, men, and children were willing to leave their homes to brave a wild, new land. They had no shelter but what they built with their own hands. No food but what they grew and shot. No laws but those they made. The Plymouth settlers faced hunger and disease. Not all the Indians they met were friendly. Their supplies ran out. The crops failed. Some colonists gave up and went home. For three years, the colony's survival hung by a thread. But a small core of believers struggled on to establish a new life for themselves in the New World.
Title: The Landing of the Pilgrims
Vendor: DK
Series: Landmark Books
Learn how and why the Pilgrims left England to come to America!
In England in the early 1600s, everyone was forced to join the Church of England. Young William Bradford and his friends believed they had every right to belong to whichever church they wanted. In the name of religious freedom, they fled to Holland, then sailed to America to start a new life. But the winter was harsh, and before a year passed, half the settlers had died. Yet, through hard work and strong faith, a tough group of Pilgrims did survive. Their belief in freedom of religion became an American ideal that still lives on today.
James Daugherty draws on the Pilgrims' own journals to give a fresh and moving account of their life and traditions, their quest for religious freedom, and the founding of one of our nation's most beloved holidays; Thanksgiving.
Born in 1889 in North Carolina, James Henry Daugherty studied art in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and Europe. The author started his career doing advertising drawings in New York City. Soon afterward, he moved on to illustrating magazines, including the New Yorker, and painting large murals. He came into his own writing and illustrating books for young people—creating drawings for more than 90 books before his death in 1974. Among the many books Mr. Daugherty wrote and illustrated are Daniel Boone, a Newbery Medal winner, and Andy and the Lion, a Caldecott Medal runner-up.
