Carlton residents are being forced to wait for trams as overcrowding on peak Lygon services continues.
With many peak Elgin and Lygon St services too full to stop and pick up passengers, many Carlton commuters are being forced to wait at tram stops while crowded services go past without stopping.
Brunswick candidate for the Greens, Tim Read, says overcrowding is a big issue for residents who rely on tram services for commute to and from the CBD.
"They've got a tram going past them, every few minutes, but it may as well have a sign on it that says 'Carlton residents: keep out,'" said Mr. Read.
Yarra Trams' load survey report released in May documents peak morning services on the Elgin and Lygon St route as being, on average, at 124.1 per cent of their comfortable capacity, a significant increase from the previous year.
Public Transport Victoria (PTV) spokesperson, Eric Brotchie said in a written statement, after insisting on receiving questions via email, that PTV and Yarra Trams are aware of issues of overcrowding.
"PTV continues to work in partnership with Yarra Trams to implement solutions to ease overcrowding and build capacity across the network," said Mr. Brotchie.
The state government has placed an order for the construction of 50 new trams, all of which are expected to be in service by 2018.
"The delivery of 50 next generation E-Class trams will increase overall network capacity as larger trams are redeployed to other routes," said Mr. Brotchie.
PTV expects the new trams to ease existing issues of overcrowding, however will continue to assess the need for even more trams in the future.
"We will continue to monitor patronage going forward and if demand changes, we will consider our options then," said Mr. Brotchie.
However, Mr. Read said there is a need for more tram services, or trams that have a greater capacity now.
The Greens propose speeding up the construction and delivery of new trams and ordering 50 extra trams, in order to directly target overcrowding, particularly in areas such as Carlton and Brunswick.
"While we've got people standing at tram stops, staring at trams that are so packed they can't even board them, we say its time to write a cheque and provide a service," said Mr. Read.
Mr. Read, who uses the tram to commute from Brunswick on wet days, said boarding an overcrowded tram is an uncomfortable experience.
"It's a socially awkward and unpleasant experience to force yourself into the crowd on a tram," said Mr. Read.

St. Vincent is Everywhere: She's on Letterman, She's on Spin, She's Covering Waits, She's...
Pete Freedman | August 30, 2011 | 3:54pm
Hope you're not sick of St. Vincent yet. Seems, as we approach the September 13 release of her third LP, the John Congleton-produced Strange Mercy, the one-time Dallas resident born Annie Clark is only going to be more and more visible.
Already, she's been on the cover of Spin. Under the Radar, too. And last night, she appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman. You can watch a clip of that performance, courtesy of The Audio Perv, after the jump. In the clip, she performs live her new single, "Cruel."
But that's not the only St. Vincent performance making the rounds this week. Today, Spin posted a clip of Clark performing Strange Mercy's free download, "Surgeon" all by her lonesome, as well as a similarly arranged take on Tom Waits' "Tango Till They're Sore," which, despite having already heard her perform it, still rocks. Also, over on Consequence of Sound, you can watch Clark perform three as-yet-unreleased Strange Mercy tracks -- "Cheerleader," "Champagne Year" and "Year of the Tiger."
In other words: There's lots. And more coming, we're sure. All the more reason to get your tickets to her October 23 Kessler Theater gig before they sell out, no doubt.

I remember everything fresh LOL.
scrap box and I did make 3 mini albums and this one is for the trip.
extra pages if I need to and not have to watch if I get carried away.
around forever - got rid of a lot of stash.
This also reduces the amount of "stuff" I need to take.
brought and not enough of some stuff.
annoying, so therefore, stuff will be limited this time.
lovely photos from 4x6 and smaller.
Love that it has choices.
rolled and embellished them as well.
I also used a lot of leftover embellishments as well.
Its really great to put them to use as they were laying around forever.
The other cool part is that I can rearrange the pages too.
and the challenge they bring.
Here's a bag I started of embellies along with some extra pages.
Of course I'll be adding punches, stamps, and other assorted stuff.
Also I'm sure there's a SB shop or two along the way.
If not, M's or HL's are everywhere.
Love this, Lynn! You'll have it filled up in no time!
Cool! Where ya headed this time?
We are headed to Ohio, NY, NJ, Maine and NH.

What is a Satellite Radio For Cars?
ByAnna Jeffs
If you have never heard of satellite radio, then you might be missing out on something that will change the way you listen to music forever. Once you hear about how satellite radio works, you will wonder how anyone could ever have thought it was a good idea. How does satellite radio work? How do you get it into your car and enjoy it while you are driving? If you want to get all the answers to these questions, then keep reading.
New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang hospitalized with apparent food stone, campaign says
First, satellite radio works through a license. The ITU, the international telecommunications standard body, defines satellite radio as a radio service that broadcasts and receives transmissions from radio stations all over the world using broadcasting equipment that is mounted on or near the vehicle. In addition to transmitting their programs to a global audience, satellite radio services also offer streaming audio through portable digital electronic devices (PDDs). This means you can plug in your headphones and take a listen to your favorite music while you are traveling on the road or during your leisure time.
Although satellite radio works with radio stations all over the globe, it differs from conventional broadcast radio because it bypasses the radio station's middleman (an engineer). Instead, satellite radio works directly with content suppliers who decide what programs to play and when. They determine the mood of the show by inserting songs that listeners like. This ensures that satellite radio for the car will not only offer you the most current hits but also new and popular music.
How does satellite radio for the car work? When you first purchase a subscription, the satellite radio company will send you a series of radio programs to tune in to each day. When it is time for you to choose a program, you will check the program schedule and find one that you wish to listen to. Most satellite radio providers have a built-in list of popular music.
How does satellite radio for the car to adjust the music? Car satellite radio works like regular satellite radio, except it gets picked up by a small satellite dish and sent out into space. The satellite radio dish picks up the signal and sends it out to a central database where the program's information is stored. From the database, the program is played to you. In other words, satellite radio for the car uses digital signal rather than an analog to transmit the radio signal.
How to Fork a Cryptosystem?
Why should I get a satellite radio for my car? If you are looking for a revolutionary radio technology that lets you have fun on the go, then satellite radio for the car is the way to go. Satellite radio for cars offers so much more than traditional radio. It offers access to over one hundred channels, radio programs include music, news, sports, talk shows, movies, TV shows, cartoons, and other entertainment.
Is satellite radio for the car legal? Yes, it is completely legal and is commonly used in many countries across the world as their main source of radio. However, if you want to use satellite radio for your car, you will need to get a subscription from a satellite radio provider.
Is satellite radio for car something I can do myself? Of course! If you are familiar with satellite technology, you can use the satellite radio for the car by plugging your MP3 player or your home stereo system into your car satellite radio receiver. With satellite radio for cars, there is no need to purchase special equipment. You can listen at the same quality as you would at home. In addition, there is no satellite need to connect to a television set, so you don't need extra wires or satellite dishes to make your satellite radio work!

An appealing combination of text and full-color illustrations tells the story of the Steins, who adopt a baby girl from Vietnam. The feelings of the parents and the two young brothers, four-year-old Gabe and almost eight-year-old Jacob, are captured in joyous, rather stylized illustrations. When she flies to Vietnam, Mrs. Stein takes toys for the children in the orphanage, which members of the synagogue have donated, as well as tiny candlesticks and candles so she and Rebecca can celebrate their first Shabbat together. Once they are home, we see the steps the family takes to make the baby, Le Tai Hong, Jewish, naming her Rebecca Rose in English and Rivka in Hebrew, and taking her to the mikveh when she is a year old. The boys comment that she is now Vietnamese, Jewish, and American!

The full-time job is disappearing. Today more workers than ever are going freelance – driving for Uber or cycling for Deliveroo, developing software or consulting for investment banks. Welcome to the gig economy.
In Gigged, Sarah Kessler meets the people forging this new world of unorthodox employment: from the computer programmer who chooses exactly which hours he works each week, via the Uber driver who is trying to convince his peers to unionise, to the charity worker who thinks freelance gigs might just transform the fortunes of a declining rural town.
Their stories raise crucial questions about the future of work. What happens when job security, holidays and benefits become a thing of the past? How can freelancers find meaningful, well-paid employment? And could the gig economy really change the world of work for ever?
"What does working in the new "gig economy" of flexibility combined with insecurity feel like? <b>This excellent book by the journalist Sarah Kessler will help those who have no experience of this way of earning a living appreciate the answer.</b> This new labour market offers a measure of freedom and opportunity. But it also does not allow people to make the plans they need if they are to lead a fulfilled life. Reform must come."

The objective of this work is development of a complex of equipment and technology of hybrid consumable electrode plasma-arc welding with coaxial wire feed for structures from steels and aluminium alloys 5–12 mm thick, using industrial robots. Mathematical modeling of processes in the arc in hybrid plasma-arc welding was the basis for selection of welding mode parameters allowing for mutual influence of the column of nonconsumable electrode constricted arc and consumable electrode arc, which enabled defining technical requirements to welding current power sources. Proceeding from mathematical and physical modeling of the process of hybrid welding, a complex of equipment and basic technologies were developed for robotic welding of thin-walled structures from steels and aluminium alloys. Developed system of complex control anabled synchronizing the functioning of two welding sources and auxiliary equipment with movements of an anthropomorphic industrial robot for realization of a stable process of hybrid consumable electrode plasma-arc welding. Application of this welding process allowed reducing electrode metal consumption by 40 %, compared to consumable electrode pulsed-arc welding at comparable speeds. Here, the level of longitudinal deflection of welded samples at hybrid process application was 3 times smaller, compared to the process of consumable electrode pulsed-arc welding. 20 Ref., 1 Table, 10 Figures.

A canvas is a tool mainly intended for entrepreneurs to learn and articulate changes to their business model proposition. However, the process carries a risky element in it: exactly the canvas itself, the current snapshot of building blocks suggesting potential narratives. Without the right contextualization, a shown canvas is like a cover of a business plan without its pages, which is worse than nothing, exactly because it may suggest things.
While the canvas process allows teams to craft a potential story, the story itself is not really told within its nine blocks. Have you ever felt that a great component of your business idea may in fact live between canvas T and T-1? What if canvas T is what your competition does and T+1 is what you want to do differently? Well, such important building blocks unfortunately may not be present in the most up-to-date canvas that you are trying to send.
Therefore, we must be critical when we send or present a canvas to anyone. First, let's put ourselves in the shoes of the audience. You are now an investor, a partner in the team. Go out in the wild and pick a canvas of another business. Pick a case of a business that is known and successful. Did you get anything as you read through the building blocks? Do they make sense or do they tell the business model story? If yes, then try again, but this time, pick a case of another successful business, but one that you've never heard of before. Does it make sense? Now do the same kind of exercise, but this time, ask some other person to also do this on their own. Now compare both conclusions. Are your conclusions similar at all?
If you arrived at the feeling that someone else's canvas did not make sense when you read it alone, and that it was missing a lot of contextual data in the narrative, then you have arrived at exactly the purpose of it: To be a tool and not carry the narrative.
The investor role in this essay is a critical mindset, an opportunity, or a reflection. We should put ourselves in the mindset of an audience that is interested in knowing the narrative, in understanding the risks with a truth-seeking mentality.
If we go back to seeing the canvas as a process, and look at it as a tool, it should better serve as a story builder, not as a storyteller. The core purpose of a canvas is to allow learning and to be a helping process in the evolution of a proposition. Going off of this premise, it follows that a business model canvas can even help a team to give up a proposition. When your team recognizes these nuances, your team starts to see the true potential of the canvas and how dangerous it can be when used irresponsibly.
That is a point that many entrepreneurs get wrong?—?they forget that the canvas is a helping tool for their teams, not their ideas. They run into the narrative trap; as if the current state of their canvas is the last best revision of "The business". The behavior of always looking to the current canvas can be the key to a disaster, exactly because it does not state the critical recent changes, the inflection points in the story, and so forth.
Earlier this year I had the privilege of observing multiple startup teams in an exercise supposed to help them. The instructor asked teams to modify their current canvases based on a given condition. The idea was to boost creativity via introducing some limitation to their stories. As I visited teams, I noticed that very few of them were actually changing their canvas. When I asked one of the CEOs why they were not adding/removing anything, his answer was that it was good enough already.
Perhaps the very merits of the tool's simplicity were partly influencing them to evolve in one direction and to be trapped or locked into a given story line. But behind such apparent simplicity, the canvas is tricky because of its two components: it's X, a tool for learning and Y, a tool for communicating a propositional business narrative. Because of these combined components, peers needs to master the nuances and indeed use canvases to narrate, but do it with proper contextualization. Otherwise their canvases can be a weapon being given without a manual.
When your team gets involved in making a lot of canvases, when they start moving towards a learning direction, keep in mind that any current version is not that relevant, especially when looked at it isolated from context. Much more important is the learning that your team arrived at that caused them to incorporate any change.
Are you using the canvas as an opportunity or are you using the tool to make a case of your biased views? Are you using the canvas for liberation or using it to lock a given narrative?

Watch the Webinar about the New England New Economy Fund!
The New England New Economy Fund was founded to support the needs of the local movement for a new economy in New England by: a) fueling the activity of local groups with direct grant funding to support community-based projects, programs and leaders; b) ensuring the sustainability of local efforts by providing skills-building opportunities and technical assistance; and c) building the capacity of local groups by supporting an emerging learning community of local groups through gatherings and network-building activities.
The Fund is a collaboration of New England Grassroots Environment Fund and the New England New Economy Transition (NET) program of Institute for Policy Studies, on behalf of the local, state and regional initiatives working to build a new economy.
Action is needed now in New England and beyond to ensure that residents have continued access to livelihoods, food, health care, transportation, energy, and other basic needs. Action is also needed to adapt to the "new normal"; that is, a world characterized by more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, higher costs of energy, resource shortages, and financial instability.
Bowdoinham Community Development Initiative provides low-interest loans to help make community stronger.
Across the region, hundreds of local initiatives are taking on the task of building community resilience and shaping a new economy that works for their community. As a web of networked, locally-rooted economies grows, support for the grassroots groups creating these building blocks is essential. Whether it is crafting an community education series, keeping a big box store off their main street, starting a time bank, creating mutual aid networks, starting up a cooperative business, or circulating a local currency, community groups are finding myriad ways to come together in the face of economic uncertainty created by an unjust global economy. They are resisting the forces of globalization and building viable economic alternatives that are based in renewed relationships with each other and the earth.
Fueled by volunteer time, collaboration, and a shared vision, these groups are deeply motivated and committed to building the next economy that benefits all neighbors, not just those with privilege. These groups are finding ways to bridge divides of race, class, and language in their communities, and many are inspired by the insight that equity is intrinsic to true resilience.

Many business owners build corporate credit through net 30 accounts that report to Dun and Bradstreet (DNB). These trade lines help establish responsible payment history and contribute toward a stronger credit score.
Net 30 accounts that report to DNB help increase a business's Paydex score. A greater score translates to a better chance of approval for business loans and credit cards, without any personal guarantee requirement. As such, every business owner should set up net 30 accounts right away so they can start generating payment history on their DNB file.
What is a Net 30 Account?
A net 30 account is actually real simple. It's any account where the invoice must be paid within 30 days of receipt. In some cases, the terms state that a check must be mailed within the last week leading up to the 30th day.
Many vendors are willing to set up this kind of account. Some do not state that their vendor accounts include these payment terms. In those cases, it's possible the supplier will agree to those terms – but some require an earlier payment.
The biggest argument you can make for a net 30 account is the fact that the vendor will avoid credit card fees as payments are by check. The savings from this are roughly 2-3% on every purchase, and for some businesses that is more valuable than a faster payment.
It's not just suppliers and vendors that offer net 30 accounts that report to DNB. For example, many service companies also allow their clients to pay under these terms. Your long-term business arrangements will impact your business's DNB report more. However, it's advisable to look for any opportunity to have any net-day payments reported.
We're going to save you tons of time. The list below took ages to compile, but it's worth it because now you know where you can get net 30 accounts. Keep in mind that qualification requirements will vary by vendor. Most on the list below have simpler criteria. The more well-known names that offer commercial accounts with net 30 terms will generally require your business to have at least a 65-75 Paydex score.
Quill, a paper and office supply e-retailer, is a very popular choice for small businesses looking to build credit. They accept practically every business that applies for a vendor account. These accounts are billed under net 30 payment terms.
When making a purchase, simply select the option to "Invoice My Account," instead of paying by credit card. Your order will arrive before your payment makes it to them and you'll receive a bill in the mail as well. Every time you make a payment, Quill will notify DNB and each payment will help build your business's creditworthiness.
Uline, a packaging and shipping company, provides up to $1,000 in instant credits to its new business customers. Once you become a customer, you can also select their net 30 billing option. This business is one of few that will accept any applicant, so it's a perfect way for any small business to put new trade lines on their DNB file.
HD Supply, a construction and industrial equipment supplier, offers net 30 billing terms with their vendor accounts. Go under My Account and select Apply for Credit to submit your application. From there, email it to fmaccountservices@hdsupply.com or fax it to 1-800-283-8883 to submit your application.
Gemplers, an agriculture and horticulture supply e-retailer, offers net 30 accounts to their customers. This company sometimes requests a prepayment for the initial order. After that, your future purchases will be set up with 30 day payment terms.
Grainger, an industrial supplies retailer, offers open account billing to its business customers but it's on credit approval. Many new businesses have had no problem getting a net 30 account set up with them. To make a request, call 1-800-472-4643 and apply for a vendor account.
ePromos, a promotional products supplier, provides net 30 billing terms. If you can locate a better deal within 30 days of your order date, they will give you the difference back and 10% off your next order. This offer means ePromos is your cheapest option for promotional products, so setting up a vendor account here is a no-brainer.
Print Country, a printer supplies shop, provides net 30 terms to their business customers. Your orders must be at least $200 to get reported to DNB. Anything less than this amount is to be paid by credit card or money order.
Staples, an office supply retailer, provides commercial accounts with 30 day payment terms. The problem here is that a personal guarantee is required for any startup business. To avoid this criteria, your company must not be less than three years old, have less than 10 employees and bring in less than $2 million in annual revenue.
Net 30 accounts are not the only option. You can build business credit with shorter payment terms as well. For many businesses, the sweet spot is a net 15 payment term as they can smoothly run their monthly budget. Below is a list of some vendors that report to DNB, but their billing terms require a payment in less than 30 days.
BP Gas – net 14 accounts, but with random reporting times.
Seton – net 10 accounts, only reports on purchases of $250 or more.
Valero Gas – net 25 accounts, with reporting once a month.
Will Net 30 Accounts Improve Paydex Score?
Always treat these vendor accounts as stepping stones. You shouldn't simply open them to get a better score. However, your company can definitely benefit from running expenses through these shop in the early stages. As you gain access to business credit cards, your spending can transition toward suppliers with better pricing and wider inventory.
Remember, you do not need to take on $50,000 in monthly purchases for these vendor accounts to hold value. The key is to use them just as that "stepping stone," which means they help you qualify for other business financing.
Once your vendor trade lines influence your DNB credit scores for the better, start pursuing other opportunities. Your business credit cards – especially without personal guarantees – will dramatically help build your Paydex score. From there, unsecured business loans and better commercial accounts and corporate credit cards will be within reach.
Furthermore, do not force small orders in hopes it will help your credit report. In the business credit building world, most recommend at least $50 per purchase to get reported. The actual amount will vary depending on the company. As an example, Seton requires at least an order of $250 for them to report to DNB. The $250 minimum should ensure any business with net 30 accounts that report to DNB will actually report your payment.
Net 30 accounts give you 30 days to make your payment. When it comes to DNB credit scores, prompt payments can improve your business's credit rating. You should try to pay off your net 30 bills as fast as possible. Even though you have 30 days to pay it off, you should aim to cover the bill in an average of 15-20 days instead.
DNB rewards businesses that pay their bills early. This behavior is seen as a major positive because it means your company's cash flow is solid. Your business should have the proper accounting to cover a purchase right away. Plan a month in advance for all your orders and paying ahead of time shouldn't be a problem.
For reference, a Paydex score of 100 implies that payments are made 30 days in advance, 90 means 20 days in advance and 80 implies they were paid on time. Other factors can influence your business's Paydex score, but for a clean DNB file these numbers provide some perspective.
Do Net 30 Accounts Require Personal Guarantees?
Net 30 accounts that report to DNB will have varying requirements. For some vendors, one of those requirements is the business putting up a personal guarantee. This criteria might get removed if your company is large enough, holds sizable assets or has many years of payment history. Of course, with an existing high Paydex score it's not as difficult to set up a vendor account without a personal guarantee.
The list provided earlier in this article features many retailers and suppliers that have lenient criteria. These vendor trade lines will grow your business credit file with DNB and make it less difficult to get more attractive suppliers to accept you on net 30 billing terms without a personal guarantee.
Regardless, as a startup you might want to consider putting up a personal guarantee. This tactic is not advisable with business credit cards – because it severely hinders your personal credit. With vendor accounts, it's not such a big deal. You won't have a revolving credit line that you always owe for, as these accounts are a form of pay-as-you-go credit. The result is less of an influence on your personal credit score – and no real impact in the long run.
For the easier to obtain vendor trade lines, what do you need to qualify? In most cases, you won't need more than a DUNS number and a 411 listing. When requirements are more severe you might need a personal grantor as well. Many businesses will avoid putting up this personal guarantee, because their goal is to build credit solely as a business.
How Many Net 30 Accounts is Too Many?
Businesses should try to open net 30 accounts as aggressively as possible. The more that are held, the better it looks for your DNB credit report. Most people suggest focusing on setting up at least five vendor accounts at once. With this many trade lines, it won't take long to see a change in your Paydex score.
You can shoot for even more than this number. This isn't seen as a bad thing, like it is with personal credit. For personal files, FICO looks at the credit utilization rate by account and overall. DNB's Paydex score looks at the recent high credit, which is the largest balance your business carried in the past 12 months – by lender and overall.
You should be opening a bunch of net 30 accounts. What you need to avoid doing is racking up a huge bill with all of them at the same time. Thankfully, this is easy to prevent doing because of the way net 30 accounts work. You are given 30 days to pay the invoice. This time limit means you can only rack up a balance you can afford to cover in one month's time. Therefore, your total carried balance at any given time should not be high enough to keep you from a strong Paydex score.
Note: Keep in mind that you will need to have a handful of trade lines reporting for at least three months before your Paydex score will adjust. Be patient and use these accounts naturally, don't treat them merely as a way to buy yourself into a good business credit score.
Building business credit without vendor accounts can be quite a challenge. Your DNB credit report will have much more payment history if you have some on file. These accounts are easy to set up and many come without any major requirements. Many other companies will provide net 30 accounts, but it's harder to get approved as a fresh business.
As a new business owner looking to build credit for your company, it's recommended you pick up some net 30 accounts that report to DNB. This tactic is also what many business credit building companies will advise you to do when first establishing creditworthiness for your company.
Equifax Business Credit Report – What's Included How Do Business Credit Reporting Agencies Work?


BRUSSELS, Belgium - With UK Prime Minister Theresa May conceding a third vote in the House of Commons is increasingly unlikely, and that it is now likely the United Kingdom will leave the European Union without a deal on 12 April, the European Commission on Monday completed its "no-deal" preparations.
At the same time, in a major policy statement, it says it is continuing to support administrations in their own preparations, and has urged all EU citizens and businesses to get ready for the consequences of a possible "no-deal" scenario.
This follows the European Council (Article 50) conclusions last week calling for work to be continued on preparedness and contingency. While a "no-deal" scenario is not desirable, the EU statement says it is prepared for it.
While the European Union says it continues to hope that it will not be the case, this means that if the Withdrawal Agreement is not ratified by Friday 29 March, a "no-deal" scenario may occur on 12 April. The EU says it has prepared for this scenario and has remained united throughout its preparations. It is now important, the UE says, that everyone is ready for and aware of the practical consequences a "no-deal" scenario brings.
Since December 2017, the European Commission says it has been preparing for a "no-deal" scenario. It has published 90 preparedness notices, three Commission Communications, and has made 19 legislative proposals.
As outlined in the Commission's Brexit Preparedness Communications, the EU's contingency measures will not – and cannot – mitigate the overall impact of a "no-deal" scenario, nor do they in any way compensate for the lack of preparedness or replicate the full benefits of EU membership or the favourable terms of any transition period, as provided for in the Withdrawal Agreement. These proposals are temporary in nature, limited in scope and will be adopted unilaterally by the EU. They are not "mini-deals" and have not been negotiated with the UK.
The EU says it has maintained - and will continue to maintain - a fully united position throughout its preparations, and during any possible "no-deal" period.
- The EU Budget (in the process of final adoption): in a "no-deal" scenario, the EU will be in a position to honour its commitments and to continue making payments in 2019 to UK beneficiaries for contracts signed and decisions made before 30 March 2019, on condition that the UK honours its obligations under the 2019 budget and that it accepts the necessary audit checks and controls.

Q: Should I use JQuery selector to compare elements/values in if statement? I have been working with JavaScript and JQuery in past few months and I used many different methods to compare elements and values. Sometimes my values were stored inside of a value in other situations I used JQuery selectors to compare values. So I have a question, is there any difference in between these two? For example something like this:
//JQuery selector in if statement
if($('.countRec').children().length == 0){

//Putting value in a variable first
var tbody = $('.countRec');
if(tbody.children().length == 0){

Is one method more efficient than other? Is there any potential comparison issues in some situations for these two methods? If anyone can provide explanation please let me know. Thanks in advance.

A: No there is no difference between the two solutions.
$('.countRec') returns all elements with the class countRec and then you store them into the variable tbody

A: Well you could argue that your second example is less efficient, because you use a variable to store data, which means you use some memory for it.
In reality, this doesn't make a difference.
But considering best practices in your case, you don't want error prone code and go the "extra mile" instead just to make sure you're working on a property of your object which actually exists to avoid errors:
var tBody,
    children;

tBody = $('.countRec');
children = tbody ? tbody.children() : null;

if(children && children.length == 0){
   // do your thing...
}

Little update:
Roxoradev mentioned in his answer, that using $('.yourClass') could return more than one element, if you have more then one element with a class yourClass attached. In this case, you would chain the call .first(): tBody = $('.countRec').first();

A: if you have 2 .countRec with this:
$('.countRec')

you get both and if you add a new one you also get the third
if you have 2 .countRec with this:
var tbody = $('.countRec')

you get both but if you add a new one you still get 2 until you (re)do:
var tbody = $('.countRec')

Hope you understand


Apple has announced the Thailand pricing for the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.
In a surprising move, Apple has also revealed the price of the iPhone X in Thailand.
While Apple hasn't announced the release date, Thai media reports the iPhone X will be available to pre-order from November 17th, with the handset shipping in early December.
Early reviews of the iPhone X in the run up to its release have unanimously judged it the best iPhone yet, although some reviewers pointed out potential glitches in FaceID, the company's new face recognition system, Reuters reported.
Despite being the most expensive iPhone to date, demand reportedly already outstripping supply.
Last week, Apple said demand for the iPhone X had been "off the charts".

The Early Days of TV in the UK
Report by Sandra Millsopp
On 13 February the audience enjoyed a night of nostalgia at Bangor Historical Society when Ivor Edgar spoke about the early days of television. It has been 84 years since regular broadcasting started in Britain. Now, instead of one channel we have hundreds, together with catch up TV. The days of a family always watching TV together have gone. Mr Edgar proposed to take his illustrated survey up to 1970.
In the early days of television there was only a small television set in a large cabinet. Various programmes brought people together such as the Coronation broadcast, Churchill's funeral and the Morecombe and Wise Christmas shows.
The first televisions were invented in Britain by John Logie Baird in the early 1920s. Selfridges opened a large television department in 1928, but sales were sluggish as there were no regular programmes. Baird's TV system was mechanical and it was later abandoned for a new and much better 405-line electronic system. The BBC broadcast from Alexandra Palace, but could only reach a limited number of homes and sales were poor. The broadcasting hours were limited. Then on 2 November 1936 regular broadcasting began with Adele Dixon singing a special song.
Early sets had to be watched through a mirror due to the size of the cabinets and the risk of explosions from the early cathode ray tubes. Then outside broadcasts began: the 1937 Coronation and the 1937 Wimbledon, although apparently it was very difficult to see the ball at the latter. A notable live broadcast was Neville Chamberlain's speech on "peace in our time" when he returned from Munich. Television sets were still very expensive and most viewers were from the middle class. Labourers would have had to save up to afford a possible cost of 60 guineas.
When the Second World War started, broadcasting ended. Legend has it that a Mickey Mouse cartoon was cut off, but it was probably allowed to run to the end. The War Office felt that the high mast at Alexandra Palace might attract enemy bombers.
When the war ended broadcasting resumed with the Victory Parade. There were still only about 15,000 sets in the country and news broadcasts were made only twice a week. By 1954 these were being made daily. In 1948 the London Olympics were broadcast, but it was the 1953 Coronation which was considered to be the catalyst for the spread of TV. For the first time the actual service was viewed live by large numbers of people. Another factor was the 1953 cup final with Stanley Matthews as people wrongly believed it was his last match. As time passed more areas of the country were able to view the programmes and soon Northern Ireland got its own transmitter.
Mr Edgar now reminded us of the programmes we once watched and he illustrated these with contemporary photographs. Many British artistes were reluctant to go on television as it meant their acts would be seen by a large number of people and it could reduce the audiences at live performances in theatres. Benny Hill was one of the first to realise the advantages of television. We were shown pictures of popular programmes and Mr Edgar asked us to identify them. What's My Line was a popular programme. For many years Eamonn Andrews presented This is Your Life. Possibly the earliest "soap" was The Grove Family. Charlie Chester and Wilfred Pickles presented popular entertainment programmes. Animal, Vegetable and Mineral and David Attenborough's Zoo Quest educated audiences. Other notable programmes included the Quatermass series. The youth audience's taste in popular music was catered for in programmes such as Juke Box Jury with David Jacobs.
In 1955 ITV began broadcasting in London as Associated Rediffusion. It was soon joined by other companies broadcasting in other UK regions such as Anglia, Border and Granada. The first advert broadcast was for Gibbs SR toothpaste. ITV was seen as more brash. It had quiz programmes such as Take You Pick and Hughie Green's Double Your Money. In 1959 UTV began in Northern Ireland. The opening broadcast was at Hallowe'en and the opening ceremony was performed by Sir Laurence Olivier.
The BBC was thought to be better at producing children's programmes. These included Sooty, Muffin the Mule, The Flower Pot Men and Andy Pandy. It also produced excellent sports programmes and showed Roger Bannister breaking the 4 minute barrier for the mile.
In 1964 BBC2 arrived. Soon programmes were being broadcast in colour and on 625 lines. The first colour sets were expensive and initially only available in England until 1969. In 1972 the 10-hour limit on daily broadcasting was lifted.

Fez – A Reflection of Africa
SCANNERFM |
Fez is the symbolic heart of Morocco, as well as the country's spiritual and cultural centre. Green prevails on the mosque facades and domes and is regarded worldwide as the colour of Islam. This fact is also reflected in the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music, which attracts musicians from all over the planet every summer. This is a unique event which sets up avenues of dialogue between disparate cultures and religions from Islamic lands.
But, don't start panicking! You needn't expect slow religious concerts in the sense of Gregorian chant. Rather, this is a festival which, year after year, promises to dish out great chunks of entertainment. On previous occasions, the Fez Festival was graced by the participation of music stars of the calibre of Björk, Paco de Lucía, Patti Smith, Joan Baez and Youssou N'Dour.
Noteworthy among the cultural and musical offerings at this year's festival – which features over 500 international musicians starring in more than 50 shows and 10 concerts – is the flamenco of Diego el Cigala, the rhythm & blues of The Temptations with their legendary seal of American Motown, the video artist Jean de Boysson and the Malian singer and songwriter, Oumou Sangare, among many others.
In Memory of Hassan Al Wazzan, Explorer of Al-Andalus
This the 21st edition of the Fez Festival will be held from 22 to 30 May. Under the slogan, "A Reflection of Africa", the festival commemorates the journeys of Hassan Al Wazzan, the Andalusi explorer known as the Lion of Africa whose remains are buried in Fez.
The life of Hassan Al Wazzan, who lived in the 15th and 16th century, was one of a nomad who was forced to travel due to political and religious circumstances. He embarked on a diplomatic career while studying in a Fez madrasa and travelled across all of North Africa as an explorer and geographer. Finally, he went to Rome, where he was adopted as a son of Leo X. There he was baptised with the name Giovanni Leone de Medicis (or Leo Africanus), although he never turned his back on the Islamic tradition.
Alternative Activities
The music programme is supplemented by a comprehensive schedule of parallel activities, notably film screenings, conferences, exhibitions and children's activities. An alternative cycle of free concerts will be staged throughout the festival in Bab Boujloud square, paralleled by the Nuits Soufies, featuring free, daily concerts in the Dar Tazi gardens, right in the heart of the Fez medina, a symbolic place providing a broad overview of the all-embracing Islamic culture.
Fez – the Cradle of North African Culture
With over a million inhabitants, the Fez el-Bali medina (Old Fez) stacks up as one of the largest inhabited medieval cities in the world. The district is listed as a World Heritage site and contains the world's largest pedestrian precinct. Its interior is a maze of 10,000 backstreets, some of which are cul-de-sacs, while others seem to lead you back to your starting point. Getting your bearings in that labyrinth can be complicated, but that's part of its charm.
Like Fez el-Bali, Fez el-Jdid is a walled enclosure. Set in the walls are a number of palaces, gardens, bazaars and Koranic schools, the architecture of which is more elegant than in the rest of the city. The most interesting sights in the area are the Dar El Makhzen Royal Palace and the Mellah or Jewish quarter.
One of the most popular places with tourists is the Chaouwara tannery. While not suitable for the squeamish, on account of the potent smell given off by the animal hides, a visit to this quarter comes highly recommended. Seen from a vantage point, the quarter is magical, resembling a painter's palette.

CLEMSON, SC – Tiger track & field athletes combined to win 10 events, including both 4x400m relays, on Saturday at the Clemson Challenge. Clemson played host to a strong field of teams, including Auburn's nationally ranked men (No. 11) and women's teams (No. 7), as well as Georgia's 14th-ranked women and Miami's No. 25 ranked women.
"We were able to establish some personal bests and earn some wins against nationally ranked competition today," said Lawrence Johnson, Clemson's Director of Track & Field. "The men and the women winning the 4×4 really put an exclamation mark on the day. Everything we do up until the ACC Championships (Feb. 24-26) and beyond is simply a dress rehearsal. We are starting to get some people to understand what they're doing a little bit better.
Kendrick was impressive in the 60m dash, despite not having the best start out of the blocks in the final. She turned in a personal best 7.32, third-best time in school history en route to the victory. Misha Morris was third and ran a preliminary time of 7.45, No. 8 in Clemson's record books.
Justin Murdock was runner-up in the men's 60 with a time of 6.70, a personal best for the junior from Pasadena, MD. He was followed in third place by sophomore Warren Fraser, who clocked a 6.73 for the Tigers.
La'Mont Jackson, a sophomore, won the men's 200m dash with a time of 21.96. Monique Gracia was Clemson's top finisher in the women's 200 with a time of 25.33, fifth place overall.
Briana Johnson was third in the final of the event with a time of 8.46, finishing ahead of freshman Bridgette Owens (8.49). Owens' time ranks among the top 10 in school history for the event.
Chris Slate won the men's 800m run with a time of 1:52.70, followed by teammates Jasen Turnbull (1:52.98), Nathan Hendershot (1:53.12) and Ryan Mangone (1:56.88). Kim Ruck took third place in the women's mile, after a final surge on the homestretch. Her time was 4:57.03, shy of her personal best for the event. Alyssa Henshaw edged junior Alyssa Kulik to finish fifth with a time of 5:02.52. Kulik recorded a time of 5:02.61. In the men's mile, freshman Aaron Ramirez was runner-up after crossing the finish line with a time of 4:20.62.
Stephanie Buffo won the women's 3K. The senior from Spartanburg, SC produced a time of 10:03.57. She held off freshman teammate Natalie Anthony at the line, as Anthony crossed in 10:03.88.
Clemson's 4x400m relays both set season bests on Saturday. The men's team of La'Mont Jackson and Miller Moss combined to form a time of 3:15.68. Jackson took over on the third leg and the Tigers did not relinquish the lead once the baton reached Moss' hands. In the women's race, the group of Whitney Fountain, Stormy Kendrick, Brianna Rollins and Marlena Wesh finished with a time of 3:41.31. Rollins broke open an even race in the third leg.
Michael Kopanski was second place for the men's vault, jumping 15'7″. Miller Moss, an All-American in the multi-events, was fourth at 15'1″.
Danielle Curry won the women's event with a Clemson personal best of 46'3.5″, the eighth-best mark in school history.
Padgett shrugged off the wrist in the 35-pound weight throw and won the event after an outstanding series of throws. His top effort was 64'9.75″, but several of his throws were amongst the best in his career to date.
Della Clark. The Greenville, SC native hit a throw of 65'10.5″ to blow away the competition.
The Tigers return to action next weekend in Blacksburg, VA to take part in the Hokie Invitational on the campus of Virginia Tech.

President Putin paid a surprising visit to Ankara on September 28th and put his signature on important decisions for the future of the region as a consequence of a bilateral discussion with President Erdoğan. This "extraordinary" visit, as the Russian media called it, was not a scheduled meeting but due to pressing developments in the Middle East, President Putin accepted President Erdoğan's invitation to consult regarding the latest occurrences in order to take necessary steps in due time.
Following their meeting, Presidents Erdoğan and Putin held a joint press declaration in Ankara. They explained the topics they touched upon briefly during their discussion in Beştepe Presidential Palace. Both leaders seemed content of the achievements of the meeting in terms of their positive speech and confident body language. As per Russia's NTV, President Erdoğan addressed President Putin as "friend" eight times in the press conference and reported this as breaking news. President Putin referred to President as a "friend" several times in return. This has been their fifth bilateral meeting within one year along with many phone calls for situation assessments. This get together showed the entire world how the two leaders carried the relations to a top level in a short time after links were broken via the downing of a Russian jet at the end of 2015. Even though some circles tried to set both sides at odds, the two leaders indicated a very stable stance to protect their alliance, which has proven to be beneficial both for themselves and for the region.
One of the main products of their partnership is the Astana talks. In December 2016, they agreed to propose Astana, as a new venue to carry on the Syrian peace talks as a complement Geneva. Despite being on opposite sides of the Syrian War, along with Iran they have become the means to a road to peace. In the sixth round of Astana talks in the middle of September, the three agreed to add a fourth region to the de-escalation zones: Idlib. The Foreign Minister made a written statement concerning the aim of forming this zone by saying that the observers' mission will be to prevent clashes between "the regime and the opposition forces, and any violations of the truce". Creating the fourth de-escalation zone is particularly important in the eyes of the affiliated countries due to various factors. First of all, Idlib, which has a border with Turkey, is home to many armed radical groups, including ones transferred from Aleppo.
As per the agreement in Astana, the armed radical groups are to be contained in a region in the middle of Idlib, which would prevent them from advancing to the Turkish border. While the Russian troops and Chechen leader Kadyrov's police forces will be deployed in the eastern part of Idlib, Turkish troops will be stationed in the western parts to sustain stability in the province. Since the contract calls for "rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access", international humanitarian aid will continue to be delivered via to the estimated 2.5 million people who inhabit the four de-escalation zones.
The leaders proved their determination in upholding the unitary structure of Syria through Astana Talks. With regards to Barzani's referendum, which was deemed illegal both according to the Iraq Central Government constitution and international law, both came to terms on keeping intact the territorial integrity of Iraq. Even though Baghdad, Ankara, Tehran governments had called on Barzani to cancel the polls, Barzani insisted and went to the polls ignoring these proposals. Following the illegal referendum, his neighbors Turkey, Iraq and Iran took some steps such as international flight embargo to Erbil, imposing sanctions and closing some borders. Moreover, Turkey and Iraqi troops have been carrying out a joint military exercise at the border of Northern Iraq. Turkey has agreed to cooperate strategically with Iran and Iraq against the KRG. Additionally, Russian company Gazprom halted its oil exploration process in Northern Iraq and Gazprom Neft Middle East President Sergey Petrov stated they would hold off on opening the Halabja oilfield. In Western media, an analysis showed that one of the aims behind the KRG's poll was to put Iran into the crosshairs by referring to Kurds of Iran are calling for independence just like the Kurds of Iraq.
Barzani could have chosen a diplomatic way to solve his issues with the central government. As there is a grave threat of the communist terrorist organization PKK planning to establish a communist state within the borders of Iran, Iraq and Syria, this move of Barzani's would put the entire region into fire. The PKK could easily take over an independent Kurdish state in Iraq through a coup and declare a communist state covering the region which would cause the death of thousands of innocent people. The people of the region have suffered enough and while the region is striving to settle down with the help of Turkey, Russia and Iran, Barzani's independence plan is the last thing the region needs.
Another important topic which has been in the international media is Turkey's purchase of S-400 missiles from Russia. This military truce has concerned the US and other Western countries since it is considered as Turkey, which is also a NATO member, being alienated from the West and shifting towards Russia. However, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Agnes Romatet-Espagne said, "The purchase of military equipment by Turkey is a sovereign choice which does not need to be commented (upon) by members of the Atlantic alliance." While some Western analysts interpret this decision as a political decision as well as a military one, it is crucial to Turkey which has been under a threat by some circles as one can see by the bloody coup attempt on July 15thlast year. The rapid negotiation process, which lasted for approximately 10 months was pleasing to Russia, as well. Now Turkey, which has made the advance payment, is willing to have S-400 missiles at the soonest time to defend their country from regional threats. These will serve as a deterrent against those who want to break up Turkey and will repel their attacks.
According to President Erdoğan, trade and the economy are the backbone of Turkey-Russia relations. The volume of trade increased at a considerable amount in 2017 as a recovery of the fall of the previous year. For example, the agricultural trade rose 58.7% and both leaders agreed to overcome the obstacles they encounter in this regard. Regarding the energy agreements, President Erdoğan announced that the Turkish Stream and Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant projects are on track and committed to solve all the issues Russia put forth concerning these energy projects. All the affiliated ministries from both sides will cooperate to accelerate the current projects and work on developing new ones.
The region needs the alliance of Turkey and Russia along with Iran. This league proved their strength and determination by taking solid steps to attain peace in Syria, preventing possible attacks against Qatar and now it is striving to halt unrest in Iraq. There are a lot of people behind closed doors who seek to gain benefits by covertly planning new clashes in the Middle East. Only this union can put an end to this bloody strife if they continue to act like well-built walls.

Die Karrierecenter der Bundeswehr (KarrC Bw) sind dem Bundesamt für das Personalmanagement der Bundeswehr (BAPersBw) unmittelbar nachgeordnete Bundesbehörden. Als Teil der Personalgewinnungsorganisation der Bundeswehr tragen die Karrierecenter zur externen personellen Bedarfsdeckung bei. Sie nehmen die Aufgabe des Berufsförderungsdienstes sowie die nach Aussetzung der Wehrpflicht verbliebenen Aufgaben der Kreiswehrersatzämter (z. B. Betreuung von Reservisten und Wehrersatzwesen) wahr.

In der 2022 eingenommenen Struktur der Personalgewinnungsorganisation der Bundeswehr gibt es sechs Karrierecenter mit Assessment in Hannover (I), Mainz (II), Düsseldorf (III), München (IV), Berlin (V) und Stuttgart (VI), zwei mit Potenzialfeststellung und Assessment in Erfurt und Wilhelmshaven sowie sieben ohne Assessment in Dresden, Kassel, Kiel, Magdeburg, Nürnberg, Saarlouis und Schwerin. Insgesamt wird an 99 Standorten eine Karriereberatung angeboten, in der Regel in Karriereberatungsbüros, welche einem der Karrierecenter zugeordnet sind.

Geschichte
Im Rahmen der Neuausrichtung der Bundeswehr wurden zum 1. Dezember 2012 die Zentren für Nachwuchsgewinnung (ZNwG) in Karrierecenter (KarrC Bw) mit Assessment (AC) umbenannt. Zu den bereits existierenden Assessment-Centern wurden in Erfurt, Stuttgart und Mainz drei neue Karrierecenter in Dienst gestellt. Außerdem wurden acht weitere Karrierecenter ohne Assessment geschaffen, die unter anderem für die Reservistenbetreuung und regionale Karriereberatung zuständig sind. Die Karrierecenter nehmen Aufgaben der ehemaligen Kreiswehrersatzämter wahr.

Aufgaben
Die Aufgaben der Karrierecenter sind, für die militärischen und zivilen Karrieren bei der Bundeswehr zu werben und Interesse zu wecken sowie Informationsveranstaltungen an allgemeinbildenden und berufsbildenden Schulen (BBS), Messen sowie weiteren Ausbildungseinrichtungen im Rahmen der Nachwuchswerbung und -gewinnung durchzuführen. Sie bieten umfassende Beratungsgespräche an und prüfen dabei die Einstellungsvoraussetzungen von potenziellen Bewerbern. Die Karrierecenter führen die Eignungsfeststellung junger, ungedienter Personen und Wiedereinsteller für den Dienst in der Bundeswehr in den Laufbahnen Mannschaften und Unteroffiziere mit und ohne Portepee sowie von Freiwillig Wehrdienstleistenden und Laufbahnwechslern durch. Zudem obliegt ihnen die Potenzialfeststellung Soldaten im Rahmen der Statusentscheidung zum Berufsunteroffizier und Offizier des militärfachlichen Dienstes. Für Bewerber für die Beamtenlaufbahnen im mittleren nichttechnischen Verwaltungsdienst und dem technischen Verwaltungsdienst der Fachrichtungen Feuerwehr und Fernmelde- und elektronische Aufklärung führen die Karrierecenter Auswahlverfahren durch. Für die Eignungsfeststellung der Offizierbewerber und der Interessenten für den gehobenen und höheren Dienst ist das Assessmentcenter für Führungskräfte der Bundeswehr (ACFüKrBw) in Köln zuständig.

Im Bereich des Reservewesens ziehen die Karrierecenter die Reservisten zu Dienstleistungen heran, führen Reservistenbetreuung durch und unterstützen die freiwillige Reservistenarbeit. Zudem ist der Berufsförderungsdienst der Bundeswehr in die Karrierecenter eingegliedert.

An den Karrierecentern wie auch am ACFüKrBw wird die körperliche und intellektuelle Leistungsfähigkeit und charakterliche und gesundheitliche Eignung der Bewerber für den Soldatenberuf untersucht. Dazu durchläuft der Bewerber mehrere Leistungstests, eine ärztliche Untersuchung und ein diagnostisches Gespräch mit einer Prüfgruppe. Diese Prüfgruppe arbeitet nach dem Kommissionsprinzip und setzt sich aus einem Prüf(stabs)offizier und einem Psychologen zusammen. Je nach Aktenlage und Personalsituation kann es auch zu Einzelprüfungen durch einen Psychologen oder Offizier kommen. Nach dem Gespräch bewertet diese Prüfgruppe die charakterlichen Eignungsmerkmale des Bewerbers und spricht eine Laufbahnempfehlung aus. Danach geht der positiv geprüfte Bewerber weiter zum Dezernat Einplanung, wo ihm in der Stellenbörse passende ausgeschriebene Dienstposten aufgezeigt werden, sofern dies möglich ist.

All of us here at Eluxe want to maintain a youthful glow forever and ever. What woman doesn't? But of course, we here are a bit wary of chemical packed cosmetics and injected muscle toxins–wouldn't those do more harm than good in the long run?
We've decided to take a more natural approach, and three of us have tried and tested three very different natural anti ageing techniques, with varying results. Here's what we found.
I first heard about this (rather pricey) Scandinavian brand from when our Editor mentioned it to me–our Beauty expert, Sophia Hussain, told her these were products that 'injected' natural beauty without painful toxic injections. Being a bit of a needlephobe myself, the Swedish brand's claim to make you look 10 years younger in five minutes was extremely appealing.
deCure is also a cult product, with followers raving about the stuff. It's Eluxe-friendly, being free from parabens and harsh chemicals, and comes packed with natural anti-aging ingredients including Aloe Vera, hyaluronic acid (the stuff Restylene is made of), vitamins A, C and E, blueberry and cranberry extracts, rosehip, green tea, Rooibos, seaweeds, and sea algae.
The products come in a pre-filled "no-tox" syringe vial, and the literature that accompanies the product claims it will imitate the effects Restylane and other skin fillers. A high claim indeed! And what's more, buying one of these luxury creams isn't enough–they suggest first purchasing the PUR 3 Skin Booster to improve collagen production, then applying the Deep Acting Serum and finally the Anti-Wrinkle Cream to fill in fine lines.
I could only afford two products (they are over £100 each, and the containers are small!), and opted for the Skin Booster and Anti-Wrinkle Cream, using them both nightly for four weeks before writing this review.
The products are good, gentle, non-irritating and do seem to have a temporary plumping effect on the skin—immediately! However, they do need to be reapplied frequently to maintain this plumper look. I do believe I have seen some improvement in my skin over the past month, but the products are now completely gone, which means if I want to maintain this look, I will be spending about £2oo a month.
If you can afford it, I'd recommend this as part of your nightly routine. Otherwise, actual fillers are probably cheaper in the long run.
Every woman wants to look good and in order to do that we take care of our skin by using the best products on it. However, no matter how much we take care of our skin the natural effects of aging are always kicking in. Many of us do not want to do anything as drastic as plastic surgery or Botox but we still want results. Luckily there is a great alternative and that is Furlesse patches. These patches come in the form of small strips that are excellent in helping to remove and lessen the deep lines of wrinkles.
There are four different Furlesse strips: the row, lip-sticks, crows, and elevens.
the lip-sticks is the area around your mouth aka laugh line.
The strips are easy to use. Wash and then dry your face so that your skin is clean. After you dry your skin then open the package and take out the Furlesse patch and apply it to the targeted area. The patches should be worn when you're ready to go to bed. Once you wake, remove the patch and wash your skin. simply and dry your skin.
If you sleep on your side normally, you will probably notice results immediately after one use of the Furlesse patch. Your skin will look smoother and more youthful, as mine did–for a few hours, at least. The idea is that the patches avoid the wrinkles you can by sleeping with your face squashed against a pillow. They do not stop muscle movement, like Botox does, so if you have strong facial expressions that cause lines, these may not be strong enough for you. But if you find yourself waking up with a frown, Furless is the perfect product!
Rose Water. Rhassoul Clay. Rosehip Oil. Strawberry Powder.
These are ingredients that have been used by women for centuries to stave off the ageing process, and Nature Perfect believes that what worked then, can also work now.
In order for these ingredients to work on your skin and have a positive anti-ageing effect, three key things must be done: you should follow a healthy diet, containing lots of water, fruits and vegetables; stay out of the sun, and undertake this beauty routine regularly.
Having checked off the first two for several years now, I embarked on the Nature Perfect beauty regimen, following this routine nightly, with a mask twice a week.
First, I gently washed my face with my usual cleanser and toned with the organic Damask Rose Spray. It smells just as you would imagine, and leaves a dewy, not astringent, finish. I would then completely my nightly routine massaging Rosehip Oil into my face. Though this has 'rose' in the name, it smells rather vegetably and left a slightly heavy finish on my skin, which I initially thought would rub off on my pillow (it didn't).
Rosehip Oil is something of a natural miracle product for skin. It has been used for generations by the Andean Indians who recognised centuries ago that Rosehip oil had exceptional healing skin care and hair care benefits. It's brimming with natural nutrients and vitamins and it has the ability to diminish pigmentation, wrinkles, scars and sun damage. It's so pure, it can be used both externally and taken internally, but it's so delicate, it needs to be stored in dark bottles, away from the sun. I have high hopes what this oil can do for me over the long term, and I'm not the only one–apparently Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr and pop singer Taylor Swift are also fans.
Having repeated the mask twice a week over time, I am not sure if the redness is disappearing due to the product, or the fact that the central heating is now off, but something is working for me!
Nature Perfect products are about as pure as beauty gets. The masks are simply in powder form, allowing the user to choose to make a mask with oil or rose water, depending on her needs. I felt the products were effective, if not necessarily for anti-ageing (only time will tell!) then at least for making your skin look fresher and, well, I guess younger too! These products may be super simple, but as your grandmother and probably her grandmother know–simple works.
