KAYO protects, enhances, and rejuvenates 100% of your skin, rather than just the 5% on your face.
Magazines, personal trainers, dietitians, and our favorite bloggers are always chiming in with tips for the best workout, diet, and trend to boost our body's metabolism. But have you thought about giving your skin a high intensity workout as well? Your skin's metabolic rate works in a similar way to your digestive metabolism. In it's most basic form, the metabolism of the skin is the rate that cells turn over so that new baby cells can reach the surface, leaving plump, radiant skin cells to shine out and literally put our best face forward. Unfortunately, the cell renewal rate slows down as we age. The slowing is due to less blood circulation and less oxygen delivered to skin cells, which in turn slows cell function.
The skin renewal cycle is influenced by age, lifestyle, overall health condition and exposure to light. Your skin metabolism turns cells over at a rate of 14 days when you are a baby, hence their ever so smooth, soft skin. By your 20's the turnover rate slows to around 22 days and up to every 50 days later in life. If you discover a buildup of dull skin, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, or uneven skin tone, then it may be time to send your skin to the gym.
The two best ways to improve the health and fitness of your skin are fighting against damaging free radicals and improving your diet. Free radicals are highly reactive atoms or groups of atoms that interact with your cells. The sun and pollution are the top two ways that free radicals get into our bodies. When they do so, free radicals react with DNA cells, which begin to function poorly and can die completely. This is in turn, affects cell function and speeds up the aging process. Antioxidants are the defense system to fight against free radicals and the damage they can cause.
Where can you get antioxidants?
To increase your chances of adding antioxidants to your body you can fill your plate with fresh vegetables in a rainbow of colors and make sure your skincare includes the same pure ingredients from nature. Look for foods high on the ORAC scale. ORAC is short for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacityan, and measures the antioxidant capacity of foods. The higher, the better.
KAYO includes a mixture the most powerful antioxidants in ALL it's products, acting as an armor against aging. We include CoQ-10,Kayo proprietary Superfruit Blend, Kayo proprietary Antioxidant Blend, along with C + E. Applying antioxidants superficially builds protection against daily aggressors and becomes a method of quick absorption. Trust knowing every Kayo product includes pure and powerful antioxidants to fight free radical damage and leave skin metabolism bursting with a youthful energy.
And don't forget about green and white tea, dark chocolate and red wine, all very high in antioxidant activity. Woo hoo!
Very informative piece of content, my way to boost metabolism is i add more protein on my meals and i quit drinking soda and other sweetened drinks. And so far i love how I am now, fit and healthy.

MTN Revenue Rises to N385.2 Billion as Digital Revenue Grew by 101%
Bukola Olanrewaju May 4, 2021	BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, Telecom Leave a comment
MTN Nigeria has reported revenue growth of 17.2 per cent to N385.2bn in the first quarter ended March 31, compared with N329.2bn in the same period of 2020.
According to the unaudited first-quarter report of the company, the revenue growth was supported by an increase of 42.6 per cent and eight per cent in data and voice revenue respectively.
Mobile subscribers, however, declined by five million to 71.5 million which the company attributed to the effects of customer churn and the regulatory restrictions on new SIM sales and activations.
Active data users also declined marginally by 71,000 to 32.5 million, though there was an 86.7 per cent increase in data traffic and a 48.5 per cent increase in usage (MB per user) from the existing base.

MTN said more than 35 million subscribers had submitted their National Identity Numbers as of 30 April 2021, representing approximately 50 per cent of its subscriber base and 63 per cent of service revenue.
MTN Nigeria's Chief Executive Officer, Ferdi Moolman, said the company was supporting the NIN enrolment programme with 182 points of enrolment active across the country, adding that they were working with NIMC to increase the enrolment centres.
He added, "Digital revenue grew by 101.0 per cent and fintech revenue by 28.5 per cent as customers continued to adopt more digital products and services, a trend accelerated by the pandemic. As at the end of March 2021, we had 449,100 registered MoMo agents and 4.6 million fintech customers.
"Our ability to drive service revenue growth while managing the growth in expenses resulted in an acceleration in EBITDA growth to 19.1 per cent and EBITDA margin expansion of 0.9pp to 53.1 per cent year on year. This enabled profit before tax and profit after tax growth of 33.9 per cent and 42.5 per cent respectively.
MTN Voice revenue grew by 8.0%, supported by an 8.7% increase in traffic and our customer value management initiatives. The impact on voice revenue of the industry-wide suspension of new SIM registration in mid-December was partly offset by increased usage by active SIMs in our base and migration to a higher quality of experience.
Data revenue maintained the positive momentum from Q4 2020, rising by 42.6% YoY. This was led by increased usage and traffic, supported by 4G penetration and increased network capacity following the acquisition and activation of an additional 800MHz spectrum in March 2021. In line with our 4G acceleration, the 4G network now covers 61.8% of the population, up from 60.1% in December 2020. We added approximately 1.2 million new smartphones to the network, bringing smartphone penetration to 47.5% of our base, up from 45.9% in 2020.

Fintech revenue rose by 28.5%, driven by increased adoption of Xtratime and our core fintech services. We continue to expand our MoMo agent network and broaden our service offerings to include assisted withdrawal irrespective of the bank where the account is domiciled. Our registered MoMo agents increased by 54,000 to 449,146. The volume of transactions processed was over 24 million in the quarter, up more than four times YoY, from an active base of 4.6 million subscribers.
Our digital business continued to gain traction with the uptake of our products and services and the structural turnaround in the business. As a result, digital revenue rose by 101.0%, supported by our rich media and value-added services, while our active user base was largely flat at 2.8 million."

For my FMX13 talk I'd been thinking about a particular question. Why is the generative principle gaining importance? Sure, the tools are out there in ever increasing abundance, but so are the tools for the more traditional approach. And yes, it's tying nicely with the 3D print revolution. But again so is traditional modelling and design. I got to a point where I have the general shape of an idea, why it's not just a fad, why it's more than a fashionable, tech-savvy hipster thing, why it can be a form of art. I didn't really get to making my point at the presentation, so here's another go... a silent undercurrent in the evolution of human society.
We have long been a people of stories. Narrative told us how the world works and perhaps more importantly, how we were supposed to behave. There was no real reason to look further, the story was both reason and explanation. Things are how they are because that's how they are. Because the stories were invented and told by us, their perspective is uniquely human. The narrative was recognizable and believable, often involving scaled-up exagerated personae, the Greek big-bearded godly bastards, the West African spider überprankster Anansi, the Christian/Muslim/Jewish let's-not-go-there... These stories built our society, embedded rules in daily lives, commanded unquestioning respect, gave authority - often to the story teller.
But things happened. One by one our POV biased world views floundered, held up to harsh impersonal light and found to be faulty. Useful models for daily life but empty of deeper truth.
The flat world stretching around us turned out to bend underneath our feet in apparent absurdity. We lost our seat at the center of the universe. Our sun was demoted to a close star. Our glorious Milky Way, just one of many. Cosmologists describe our universe itself as only a bit of froth in a seething multiverse. Not content with tearing down our surroundings, we also target ourselves. Our mind and soul were seized from the aether and confined in soft, squishy and above all, mortal matter. Humanity itself reclassified as a species, endowed with exceptional potential yes, but from a biological point-of-view in no way more evolved than the pets we master, or the pests we exterminate.
Where does that leave us with our stories? For ages we believed that to understand anything we just needed to know it. To predict the future: study the past, measure the present... Establish rules and control the system. And we seem very resistant to letting the stories go. So we kept the stories around. Probably we're too scared to cast them aside. Perhaps believing, mistakenly, that our society, our laws, our morals are founded on the stories themselves, rather than on the things they were originally meant to allegorize.
But surely, exotic mathematical systems might behave oddly and philosophers delight in academic discussions of principle, but that has no impact on the real world, has it?
The slow change of thought is clearest in science. Let's take biology. Long considered a sensible science for sensible mustachioed men, great minds cataloguing species and recording behavior, enjoying invigorating rivalries whether skeletized specimen A was a rather large pygmee vole or - obviously - a sickly giant vole. Glass-eyed corpses in the stately natural history museums around the world testify to the titanic efforts of our forefathers. Measuring, labelling, arguing, fixating... growing and pruning the tree of life, a hierarchy of static species.
With Darwin came a revolution of thought, suddenly the tree was no longer a hierarchy but a tracing of common ancestry, portraying relationships between animals. The theory suffered/suffers from many misconceptions, but worst of all, a major point is often overlooked: the fundamental concept of a static species is faulty. In fact one widely held argument against evolution was that species could not arise from other species. A child can not be another species than its parents, the very thought. Serious scientists tried to defend evolution by reconciling it with discrete species: the idea of macro-mutations, rabbit and hare springing from a common ancestor in an extremely unlikely freak event; or the inheritance of accidental traits picked up during life (a stretched out neck or lost tail). But those efforts missed the point, evolution runs into problems with our preconceptions because our preconceptions are wrong. There's no leafy tree of ancestry, each leaf a species, there's only a continuum, evergrowing and dividing branches, each of us a point along the line, but never a leaf. The human narrative had a clear purpose for distinct species, a simplification, a coping mechanism for an incomprehensible complex outside world.
So the useful story turns against us when we take it too far. But that's science, the world of academics, separated from us by sensible, engineering-type men that cull the useful bits and turn it into technology. These word-games and mathematical constructs wouldn't affect our daily lives, would they?
I'm guessing that they do. A common thread in our history of understanding is the steady decline of the static, the ""state"", and the accompanying increase of the dynamic, the ""process"". Of course, state and process are linked, but the state itself doesn't tell you the process, and the process doens't always allow you to predict the next state. There's more to understanding than mere cataloguing and observing. Perhaps even more important, there's more to control than knowing the current state and knowing the rules.
Allow me another guess: feedback. ""In olden days"" events were scrutinized after they happened. Wars, regime changes, trials, political decisions, these have always been news. The news led to reactions. The reactions lead to changes in future behavior. But all in all the news itself didn't really affect the event. But we have closed the feedback loops all through society. The mere reporting of events, and the reactions, and the reactions on the reactions,... are so fast and all-pervasive that more often than not the reported event is being changed. The ironic thing is that although the feared quantum randomness turned out not to affect our cat, we nonetheless managed to turn our classical reality into a quantum reality, the observation changing the thing observed. This kind of feedback can lead to stabilization but more often than not leads to chaotic behavior, in a mathematical sense. We still know the rules, but we no longer control the system.


Girls are puzzling and I'm doing my best to keep them in bed and happy! It feels like I'm next!
While girls were sleeping I've tried to get my card making stuff closer. Started with sorting out documents and books in livingroom's bookcase, hoping to get few shelves for my cardmaking stuff! I can't walk upstairs and when girls are in the kindergarten no need for me to be upstairs… I'm multitasking all the time, so I need to be downstairs to prepare a meal or… load laundry… to put an eye on a cat or clean something. Also, I like to switch between chores & pleasures. If card stuff will be closer, I might make a card more often!
Sorry to hear the girls are still unwell and, probably, the nurse too. On a brighter note, the first picture of the girls sitting on the wondowsill, in yesterday's post, melted my heart. Hope you all feel better soon.
I love those small moments for example this one… Nelle is posh and her tea cup also is! Helmī don't mind anything, so her's cup is "everyday" use and Linna, she is "worker" so "travel mug" :D:D:D Their choses are "so true" showing who they are 🙂 Did you notice!?
I did notice and, as you say, they seemed to portray the personalities which have come through in your blog postings. Capturing moments like this is so important for you and is one of the things which makes your blog such a delight.
Unlike ;( hope you feel better soon!!!
Me too! How is it in Estonia?! Flu season started?
Yes 😦 My family was sick few week ago, so, I hope for us it is over.
I hope it's over too!
I hope your house gets better quick! Do you spray anything around while everyone's sick to get rid of germs, like Lysol?
So sorry to hear you're battling sickness! At least it's not flu! My youngest had a nasty virus a couple of weeks ago, so I know your pain! Sounds like you're doing everything right though. Good luck!
A nurse in me says, wash your hands a lot, sorry. Yes, you are next, a respiratory infection spreads from one family to another, unfortunately. Love your idea of moving your crafting stuff downstairs. Then you can work on a project a little at a time when you have a few spare minutes. I hope your cute trio will get better soon.
Not yet… but it's coming down!
I'm behind with my reading. 😥 Hope everyone is on the mend!

Migrant workers crisis

Transportation to home state
On 28 March, the Uttar Pradesh government  arranged for 1,000 buses to ferry migrant labourers who were stranded on the border districts owing to a countrywide lockdown without consulting Delhi State Government that resulted in huge chaos on border. Officials of the Transport Department, bus drivers and conductors were contacted on Friday night to help the people who were stranded in Noida, Ghaziabad, Bulandshahr and Aligarh, among other places.

On 25 April, a day after the Yogi Adityanath government announced that it would bring back UP labourers stranded in other states, the first batch of 2,224 workers, who had completed quarantine period of two weeks in Haryana, were brought back to the state in the first phase of the exercise on Saturday.

On 5 May the Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Awanish K Awasthi informed that over 65000 workers have been brought back from different states. He said that anyone from another state who is stranded in UP can register on 'Jansunwai' portal to seek help. "People from UP stranded in other states can get themselves registered" On 7 May the Additional Chief Secretary informed that around 51,371 had reached UP so far.

"Today 43 trains have arrived in the state carrying migrant laborers. With the help of these trains, 51,371 workers arrived from different states. Today, 13 more trains will come before 12 pm, about 15,500-15,600 laborers will come. We have given permission for about 43 trains," These 43 trains arrived at stations such as Agra, Kanpur, Lucknow, Jaunpur, Gorakhpur, Pratapgarh, Rae Bareli, Kannauj, Banda, Azamgarh, Barabanki, Sitapur and Unnao. There were 51,371 workers and labourers on these 43 trains. On 9 May the Additional Chief Secretary informed that so far, 97 trains carrying migrant workers have entered into Uttar Pradesh from other states and 17 more trains will arrive by evening today. Government has allowed plying of 98 more trains which will arrive tomorrow and day after tomorrow.

An Air India Express flight also brought  back 182 Indians to Lucknow from Sharjah, UAE. By 11 May, 184 trains had brought 2.26 lakh migrant workers from other states. 55 more trains will arrive in Uttar Pradesh today. Around 1 lakh migrant workers also returned by their own conveyance. On 12 May the  Additional Chief Secretary informed that so far, 233 trains had brought 281,408 migrant workers to the state. Today 13 trains have arrived until now and more will come in the coming days. All the passengers will be screened and medical checkups will be conducted. On 14 May it was reported that so far, 318 'Shramik Special' trains have brought back 384,260 people to Uttar Pradesh. 67 more special trains will arrive in the state today. Permission has been granted for plying of 174 more such trains.

Relief and essentials
On 21 March, CM Yogi Adityanath announced that the Uttar Pradesh government has decided to give ₹1,000 (US$14) to all daily wage laborers affected due to coronavirus in the state. On 1 May, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath directed that any worker or labourer of UP who is stranded in another state due to lockdown, can use his/her ration card number & avail its benefits there. Those who do not have a ration card, then under State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF), food packets are being provided.

Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath transferred Rs 225.39 Crores to Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) beneficiaries through direct bank transfer. The state government has instructed to provide Rs 1000 to migrant workers who have been asked to remain in home quarantine after their return from other states. On 25 May the CM directed that the migration commission that is being constituted will be named Kaamgar, Shramik (Seva Ayojan and Rojgaar) Kalyan Ayog, to employ migrant workers/labourers. Under this commission, social security will be guaranteed to workers/labourers by providing employment to them.

Administrative changes

 30 March - CM Yogi Adityanath dismissed District Magistrate of Gautam Buddh Nagar district BN Singh and appointed Suhas L. Y. as New DM.

Transportation for non-migrants stranded in other states

 18 April - 9,000 Stranded Students in Kota Leave for Their Homes in UP after Thorough Screening. About 250 buses from Uttar Pradesh on Friday reached Kota in Rajasthan to pick up about 9,000 stranded students and drop them to their native districts. Each bus accommodated a maximum of 30 students.
27 April - Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ordered for making necessary arrangements to send students preparing for competitive exams in Prayagraj to their homes in 300 UPSRTC buses. The students will be sent in these buses in two rounds. In the first round, students will sent to their homes in Sonbhadra, Mirzapur, Chandauli, Varanasi, Jaunpur, Pratapgarh, Kaushambi, Fatehpur & Chitrakoot. Students from other districts will be sent in the second round.
24 May - Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Awanish K Awasthi informed that Around 23 lakh people have been brought back to the state of Uttar Pradesh from different states, amid Coronavirus Lockdown.

Legal Actions

The Uttar Pradesh government has said that Perpetrators be charged under the stringent National Security Act, Epidemic Act and the Disaster Management Act for resorting to violence and preventing the health and police officials from doing their duty.  The state government has decided to use the UP Recovery of Public and Private Property Ordinance, 2020 against those indulging in violence.

Following several attacks on doctors and other health officials, and subsequent demands from ICMR and Resident Doctors Association, the Union Government brought an ordinance to amend The Epidemic Diseases Act. Under it, the guilty can be sent to jail for three months to five years, with a fine of Rs.50,000 to Rs.2 lakh. However, if there is grievous injury then the guilty could be sent to jail for six months to seven years and fined Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh. More than 8000 people have been fined in the state to date for violation of social distancing norms and for not wearing masks.

Impact

Environment
Due to lower pollution levels in state during the imposition of lockdown, Himalayan range became visible from Saharanpur.

Education
Since the closure of educational institutions in lockdown, alternate education strategies like online classes have been adopted in urban areas. While lakhs of children living in villages are deprived of the alternative.

Social

Violence against medical staff and police
Medical staff and police were attacked by villagers while trying to enforce lockdown in Meerut and Muzaffarnagar. In Moradabad, a mob tried to stop a medical team from taking a coronavirus-infected man into isolation by pelting stones at the ambulance while damaging a police vehicle. Five of the seventeen arrested stone pelters tested positive in COVID-19 tests. Locals in Aligarh also pelted stones at police as they tried to enforce lockdown, while in Bahraich people attached police team for refusing to offer namaz in mosque. Healthcare workers and police were attacked and stone pelted in Kanpur when nine members of a family who had been in close contact with a coronavirus positive patient were being taken to a quarantine facility.

Hospital care crisis
International news sources reported many stories of deaths and families damaged by the second wave of COVID-19 in Uttar Pradesh, as infections increased during 2021. Retired judge Ramesh Chandra told BBC that "for years, I have despaired at the poor medical facilities in the state - it's where my ancestral village is located and I know the struggles of finding a doctor or an ambulance even in normal times.".

Testing statistics

Testing Costs
On 19 June 2020, the Uttar Pradesh government announced that it has  fixed the maximum price for COVID-19 tests at ₹2,500. "The price has been fixed in two categories. The first one relates to the corona testing at private or corporate hospitals. In this case, the charges will not be more than ₹2,000 per person. The same applies to a situation where these hospitals tie up with private labs. The second category is that of private pathology or diagnostic labs where the rate cannot exceed ₹2,500," a government spokesperson said.

Testing Facilities
Currently there are 121 government laboratories conducting COVID-19 Testing.
Government has also permitted testing in 44 privately operated labs.

The " Belgian Service Club Namur association (BSCN)" is a non-profit, apolitical, active since 1985. It brings together and coordinates the experience of many retired executives and volunteers from a wide range of environments (companies, financial institutions, government agencies, military, …) to put their experience to others. Our work is mainly oriented towards helping small and medium enterprises, to social organizations, to young independent and especially to youth through programs such as the European Voluntary Service.
We are active in the EVS program since 1997, during which we have developed, with the help of the services of the European Commission, a pilot project to send 20 young Belgian and French to England and Ireland. Thereafter, from 2000, we joined the sending and receiving programmes with bilateral projects managed by the Bureau International de la Jeunesse (National Agency). We are presently accredited by the European Commission and the Ministry of the French Community (Bureau International de la Jeunesse) as sending and coordinating organization for hosting projects (2013-BEFR-3).
The Belgian Club Service Namur (BSCN) is an association that currently includes thirty retired members from various disciplines whose general mission is to put their skills and experience to young people, SMEs, associations and institutions with a social purpose and offer them a precious help.
Our work can provide people, businesses and private and public institutions, both in Belgium and abroad, assistance and guidance in the administrative, commercial and industrial areas by providing a team of volunteers and experienced consultants.
Within BSCN a team of 5 members is in charge of EVS either in a coordination program of hosting projects or in a sending program of young volunteers. The purpose of this participation is to help young people acquiring through EVS, a relative experience of autonomy, making contact with reality on the ground after schooling, better proficiency of a foreign language and a better understanding of their capabilities and thus provide them a valuable asset for their future work and family life. We are willing to cooperate with any foreign organization active in EVS.
Our members perform their duties in a manner entirely voluntary.
The purpose of this project is to provide opportunities and resources for young volunteers to get involved and participate in the improvement of their planet. To do this, on the one hand, they will discover teaching methods practiced at the Domaine and secondly they can bring their own vision and inform leaders about practices in their country. Awareness tools are in place and include animations, training in the nature and citizenship.
The Park is an integral part of this project because it is the place of experimentation and actual practice the taught methods. Eventually, it should be a showcase of sustainable development. It has an area of about eleven hectares. The project can accommodate a young EVS wishing to inform and train the environmental policy of the institution and practice of work -related rural heritage.
The "Park" project is complementary to the project "animation" in that it contributes to the maintenance and management of the areas required for the deployment of "ecocivic" activities.
The volunteer animation should ideally be eager to get involved in the various activities of an accomodation centre for youth groups and if possible have a basic knowledge of French.
Generally, volunteers must love the outdoor life, working in the woods in all seasons.
One volunteer will participate in our activities "green classes" that is to say, Nature animations, Middle Ages or prehistory.
– Monitoring of orchard maintenance instructional path and a friendly space.
– Take new initiatives, bring different ideas, present their views, promote their culture.
At the end of the project, volunteers will pass on their experience to their local community. They will also encourage other young people to volunteer and join the EVS program.
The purpose of this project is to provide opportunities and resources for young volunteers to get involved and participate in an intergenerational project. To do this, first, they will discover teaching methods practiced at Home and on the other hand they can bring their own vision and inform leaders about practices in their country.
Support for the elderly is a major problem that will arise in Europe in the coming years.
This project aims to combine social engagement objectives with intercultural exchange. It can also contribute establishing and strengthening partnerships between organizations of different countries. The exchange of knowledge, experiences, different practices can lead to a different way of thinking or acting.
The loss of autonomy of the elderly are compensated by a multidisciplinary team including: nurses, physical therapists, speech therapist, animators …. .
The choice of activity will be offered to volunteers in a telephone interview. However, the final orientation of their task will be determined based on their abilities, on a proposal from the tutor of the volunteers and in agreement with them after a period of integration and observation.
Tasks that will be proposed to the volunteers will take place in one of the following teams: animation, physiotherapists, health care aides, beauticians.
Coordinated by Belgian Service Club Namur, includes two volunteers for periods of 6 and 12 months.
The purpose of this project is to provide opportunities and resources for young volunteers to get involved and participate in social and human service to help mentally handicapped people.
The goal is to help 33 people with mental disabilities, divided into two services Charmilles 1 and 2 (profound mental and moderate disabilities), in a structured and fullfilling educational environment. The volunteer will have the choice of service after a period of observation and integration of one month.
Residents' needs are the same as ours: basic needs (food, housing, ensure satisfactory conditions of hygiene and appropriate medical monitoring) need for structure, autonomy and self-determination, security and social need.
Educational staff guides people in all activities of daily life and performs health social, nursing and education acts. He developes recurrent workshops in occupational and educational aim . During these periods, the main role of the volunteers is to assist and support educators in the implementation of activities. They may bring their own animation ideas through predefined schedule of activities.
Moreover, the volunteers can, if desired, create, organize, create an activity according to their own tastes, individually or collectively. To this end, after a period of observation and integration, they will be asked to offer their personal project to be discussed and implemented in consultation with the teaching staff in respect of the individual project of the resident.
This project can be built initially for the following activities: drawing classes, painting, reading, writing, sports, gardening, ….
Outside these periods, they accompany and assist residents in all activities of daily life (meal …).
3. These activities (intergenerational or to the profit of disabled people) will strengthen their maturity and prepare them for future challenges of their life.

We're looking for 3-5 screenshots for each mod on the Mods page of the site so dig through your hard drives! Some mods are already covered, but there are a lot that need images. Preferably, we'd like each picture to have no HUD ("hud 0" in console) and something interesting/representative of the mod. If a mod has a really unusual HUD, then a picture of that would be OK. Unique angles and action shots with people (or bots) are great. Check out the Mods page for some examples.
Use the binoculars with "hud 0" to produce a unique zoomed-in photo, but please don't do it on every picture.
Run a server with free death cam enabled so you can fly around the map.
If you can't use the death cam, try switching in between your knife and pistol (or knife and grenade) really quickly while taking the photo and it should cause your weapon to not appear. OR use a vehicle and press "c" to switch your view.
All contributors will be given credit!

I will see what I can do tonight in DC and DCF and BFpirates and post some of my screenies.
If you like them, more will follow later.
That's great to hear. "Action shots" with multiple players (or bots) doing things like shooting, running, and/or using vehicles would be the best if you can manage them. I'll add your BFP server as an active server under BF Pirates on the Mods page of the site.
I will upload the pictures in a few minutes, they are on my other computer.
I can make more screenshots with a lot of players and a lot of action, on DCF and DC.7 that 's easy, for Galactic Conquest and Pirates it's a little harder, but certainly do-able !
Thanks for the pics. Action pics of DC and the other mods would be excellent too.

Chelsea Handler Fights Back Against Instagram
By: Jennifer Graber
Chelsea Handler is a quiet, shy woman. Handler never speaks out and does not make waves. Okay, that could not be further from the truth. What I mean to say is that Handler, a comedian and host, has never been known to be the reserved type. She is more of a no-holds-barred kind of person who puts it all on the line. Handler makes no excuses for who she is and is proud of the person she is. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that she often posts provocative content on her social media pages. The content could be verbal or visual, but either way, it can definitely cause a stir.
And Handler's latest Instagram content certainly got people talking. The comedian posted a topless photo of herself riding a horse. The image was meant to "mock" an image of Vladimir Putin. In Putin's photo he was also topless and riding a horse. Handler accompanied her version of the photo with a caption that boasted that anything men can do, women have the right to do better. The photo of Handler remained online for 30 minutes before Instagram took it offline. The photo-sharing site claimed that the photo was in violation of its community guidelines.
Of course, Handler did not let it just slide. She responded to Instagram by reposting the image at least twice more. Each time, the image was again removed by the administrators at Instagram. Handler noted that it was ironic that Putin's image was allowed to remain posted, yet hers was not. She called the actions sexist and questioned whether this was the new millennium or the 1800s.
Handler then went on to state that she was saying sayonara to Instagram, and that she was taking it all to Twitter. The comedian felt as if Twitter would be a less restrictive environment for herself and others. In fact, Handler's goodbye speech to Instagram came with the caption that "you can now find my dogs and my breasts on Twitter only, where my followers have the right to choose what they say."
As one would imagine, the responses have been as controversial as Handler herself. I honestly would not expect any different from this situation. Is this a question of women's rights and equality? Is it a matter of adjusting how we view and perceive online content (i.e., are we prudes)? What about modesty — does that factor in? Or should we approach it with a "don't look if you don't like it" attitude? And what is the difference between something like what Handler posted and the recent celebrity photo leaks? By the way, the answer to that is choice. Handler chose to share a personal photo, whereas the others' online privacy was seriously violated.
Social media can be a great way to facilitate change — or can it? Is it somehow less impactful? And does the impact depend on the messenger? Whatever the case, maybe you have to admit that Handler's posts did their job. They opened a discourse, which was likely the intent behind the comedian's actions.

Bitcoin fell as low as $6,783 amid heightened fears of a global trade war.
Ethereum, ripple and other major cryptocurrencies also saw sharp drops.
China unveiled new tariffs on 106 U.S. products on Wednesday.
Bitcoin dropped below $7,000 on Wednesday as the price of several major digital currencies fell.
The world's largest cryptocurrency by market value fell 8 percent to as low as $6,782.64, according to data from industry website CoinDesk, which tracks the price across a number of exchanges.
Mati Greenspan, senior market analyst at eToro, said that the move was less correlated to recent fears of a global trade war and more associated with traders evaluating the assets in their portfolio and trying to assign value to them.
"I think that there is a big connection in the way that people are managing their portfolios and the cryptocurrencies have been increasingly correlated with the stock markets especially in the last few weeks," he told CNBC in a phone interview.
"This (comes) as more and more brokers add bitcoin, the liquidity bridges are being built."
Ethereum and ripple, the second and third-largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization respectively, both saw sharp drops on Wednesday. Ethereum fell more than 9 percent to $375.31 while ripple fell more than 10 percent to 50 cents.
China unveiled new tariffs on 106 U.S. products on Wednesday, a move that has shaken investors and further ignited fears of a trade war.
Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, which are decentralized and not backed by governments, are extremely volatile assets.
Charles Hayter, chief executive of CryptoCompare, said that investors were likely fleeing to safer investments as protectionism concerns took hold.
"In the grand scheme of things, cryptos lie on (the) extremely risky end of the spectrum and are for times of hot money," Hayter told CNBC in an email.
"The hint of a trade war puts a bit of fear into the mix and as we all now markets correlate in various periods depending on the exogenous factors."
Bitcoin suffered its worst ever start to the year this year, dropping 48 percent over the first quarter. The cryptocurrency hit an all-time high near $20,000 in December.


Pinner is a suburb in the London borough of Harrow. It was in the county of Middlesex until 1965, when it was absorbed by the London Government Act 1963 into Greater London.
Pinner was originally a hamlet, first recorded in 1231, as Pinnora. The oldest part of the village lies around the fourteenth-century parish church of St John the Baptist, at the junction of the present-day Paines Lane, High Street and Church Lane.
the novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton wrote Eugene Aram at Pinner Wood House in 1832. The novelist Ivy Compton-Burnett was born in the village in 1884. Figures in the world of entertainment associated with Pinner include the musicians Sir Elton John and Simon LeBon.
The BBC sitcom One Foot in the Grave, although filmed elsewhere, was set in Pinner as was the sitcom May to December, which filmed its exterior shots in the High Street. During the 1990s the children's TV series of Aquila was filmed in and around Pinner.

Ode to LA: Lacoste Shows Support for Uncle Paulie's Deli; LA Businesses
Los Angeles is a place like no other. What other oceanfront city has a mountain range running through the middle of it? It's Hollywood — the entertainment capital of the world, as well as a Mecca of food and fashion. It features the greatest inter-city collegiate rivalry, with USC and UCLA. It's home to the Dodgers and Lakers, and after a long drought with no NFL teams, it now has two, which play in a $5 billion joint. L.A. is more than what it says on the map — it's Muscle Beach and Malibu, Sunset Boulevard and PCH, the Eastside and the Westside, the Hills and the Valley. From the streets of Compton to the shops on Rodeo, it really is "72 suburbs in search of a city," as Dorothy Parker said.
It's practically impossible to hold anything less than an extreme opinion about L.A.: You either love it or you hate it. In fact, you can definitely do both, but you probably can't do neither. So, it's always a pleasure to hear the perspective of others about this unique place. Of course, that's a very Angeleno sentiment, isn't it?
The latest voice singing our city's praises is none other than legendary fashion brand Lacoste.

"The City of Angels has long been a place of inspiration for the Lacoste brand," the company said in a statement announcing its Ode to LA program, which partners with Los Angeles-based businesses, organizations and community staples that embody the city's ethos.
"Through Ode to LA, we'll collaborate with the movers and shakers of Los Angeles for limited release product capsules, customization and takeovers all at Lacoste Melrose Place," the company announced.
To date, the company has collaborated with Crenshaw Skate Club, Better Days LA and Zack Bia's "Croc Boyz." Right now, the Lacoste Melrose Place (yet another Iconic L.A. site! 8481 Melrose Place,) location is teaming up with local favorite Uncle Paulie's Deli (8369 Beverly Blvd.) to create a limited edition, capsule clothing collection. At the launch, Uncle Paulie's served up platters of their famous sandwiches, while DJ TJ Mizell laid down the beats.
Check out this collaboration quickly because after Sept. 30, the crocodile will launch a new partnership with Shadow Hill.
Local /global branding… what a brilliant concept (courtesy photo)
"By partnering with these hand-selected collectives rooted in L.A., the climb back to normalcy post-pandemic is an opportunity to take that inspiration and manifest it at Lacoste Melrose Place," the compay said. "The community that has made Lacoste a fixture within L.A. is being given a platform to be celebrated."

The new Guadalupe County Hospital facility designed by RMKM will replace a fifty year old building which served as the only hospital between Albuquerque and Amarillo. The new building incorporates an inpatient unit, an ER, a hospital administration wing, Santa Rosa's only pharmacy (to serve both hospital and retail needs), a clinic where all of the city's doctors will practice and a public health office.
Because the building will serve so many necessary functions in the community, it will naturally be a gathering place for Santa Rosa. The building has been designed with this in mind, allowing the limited staff to easily serve both their patients and the public. For instance, the pharmacists will prepare drugs for the hospital, but will also dispense drugs and medical advice to retail customers. At night, nurses will perform receptionist duties at the ER while keeping watch over their inpatients. Finally, the doctors at the clinic will also serve the hospital.
Jim McNamara served as programming and medical planning team leader. Based on his experience, the design team was able to plan a building that successfully accommodated the dual roles of the hospital staff. His responsibilities included site planning, floor plan layouts and building envelope design.

Lachlan was talking about clocks at morning meeting this week. He has a digital clock that 'talks' the time. We found the clock in the Preschool room. We talked about all the other places we have clocks. In the car, tractor, towns etc. One child mentioned that the town clock doesn't always tell the right time. We have asked the children to get photos and notice clocks wherever they go on the holidays. We are going to investigate clocks next term. We will look at clock designs, numerals, number sequence and clock features. So on your holidays start collecting some photos of clocks for next term.
Isabel and her Mum brought in some native cockroaches for morning meeting. They had made a habitat in a plastic tub. We discussed habitats. The cockroach habitat had sand, bark, leaves and water. We will be learning a lot more about habitats when we go to Bush Kinder next month.
On Wednesday we had a visit from the playgroup children and parents. They came for morning tea and a play outside. The weather was terrible but the children didn't seem to notice. They had a good time playing with all the toys. The preschool children children welcomed everyone to the centre. We had a talk about what our play might look like with lots of 'littlies' around. We hold this event at the end of each term. It provides opportunities for the children to become familiar with our Preschool environment before they come as three yea r olds and it allows the staff and parents of younger children to get to know each other. The Preschool children had opportunities to help the younger children and model how to play together.
Tay brought some paper planes he had made at home to Preschool for morning meeting this week. He had a pencil in one of them to help it fly. Everyone wanted paper planes. Lucky that Isabel's Mum is good at making paper planes and she did a mini workshop to help us each make one of our own. They flew well indoors and outdoors. Some landed the right way up and some landed upside down. Some were good gliders and some landed on their noses. We had to experiment a lot to get them to fly and land just right.
At the start of each session we sit in a circle. In the middle of the circle are our photo cards with our names on them. We go around the circle and children who are present put their cards in a special box. Then we see who is not here. The cards of the absent children are put on the board.
This task each morning is a great way to start our day. We acknowlege who is here and make a note of our friends who are absent. This routine also helps us if we have to miss a day because of illness. We know that while we might feel sad to miss the session , our Pre school friends will notice that we are gone and think of us.
We have been doing this with the children at our centre for over two years and find that it is an excellent activity to focus on IDENTITY.
During the the last week in Term 1 we visited Tay's house to see his new chickens. Tay has a hen called Cheyenne (after a his Pre School friend) and a rooster called Tay (after himself). On the weekend 'Cheyenne' hatched out two chickens. So we went for a visit on our way home from the mobile library. Tay knew the way to his house and he was the leader of our line. The chickens were cute. We have sometimes been feeding Tay's chickens our fruit and vegetable scraps.
Due to the very warm weather last week our eggs hatched sooner than anticipated. When we came to Pre School on Tuesday we saw lots of little wriggly things in our tank! They are very tiny so we use the magnifying glass to help us see. Our tadpoles are not swimming around a lot yet. They will cling to plant matter, the walls and the bottom of the tank for up to 10 days until they mature. We will know when they have matured because they will start swimming everywhere. Then we need to start feeding them. We have boiled the lettuce leaves for 10 minutes, chopped it up and stored it in ice cube trays in the frezzer in preparation. If we don't feed then they will eat each other!
We are learning so much about tadpoles. We are singing the Bonkers Beat song to learn how tadpoles change into frogs.
Cooper said "Let's make a Chinese Dragon". Cooper has seen a Chinese Dragon at the Bendigo Easter Fair. We pasted boxes together to make a head and then painted it red. (Red is a lucky colour for the Chinese people.) Then Mrs Grant sewed lots and lots of scrap fabric squares together to make the scales. Some children had never seen a sewing maching in action and some thought we were knitting. The children passed me the squares – making sure that we had no two squares the same side by side. Some children held the end and moved it forward as the chain grew. First the children were hoping it would reach the outside door – but it went way beyond that. It was exciting to watch it grow. We changed direction and went into to the hallway and beyond. It was a very long chain! Then we laid out our red fabric and stuck the patterns on with fabric glue. We sewed hoops into the body for the children to hold onto and decorated the head. We have been working on this project on and off for the whole term.
Today we watched dragons doing a 'Lion Dance' on YouTube so the children could see the possibilities for moving the dragon. We looked at the percussion instruments the people played and watched them wake a sleeping dragon.
Then we took our dragon outside for a practice. Some of the children moved the dragon while the others played the instruments. It was great fun. This will become a part of our concert for family and friends in October.
Mrs Grant found some frog spawn in the filter of her pool. Normally you wouldn't remove frog spawn from the environment because many frogs are endangered species – however they would not have survived the pool chemicals. So now they are living at Pre School . We have googled how to look after them and the key is clean water. We played an interactive game on the internet. Stay tuned as we watch our tadpoles hatch and develop into frogs.
http://allaboutfrogs.org/froglnd.shtml This is a great website for information about raising frogs.

Backes & Strauss pays tribute to dandy Beau Brummell by unveiling s special edition pocket watch.- the Regent Beau Brummell Tourbillon pocket watch – in white gold case set with two rows of Baguette diamonds, with further rows of Baguette diamonds being set concentrically on the dial. The hand wound tourbillon movement features hours and minutes, as well as a date display and moon phase indication. A mere five examples will be made, each with a bespoke chain set with Ideal Cut diamonds.
George Bryan Brummell aka 'Beau Brummell' was born in 1778 in London, the son of the future Lord North, the High Sherriff of Berkshire.It was at Eton that Brummell began to display a penchant for dandy dressing, where his daring decision to perk-up the regulation college cravat with the addition of a gleaming gold buckle won him the instant respect of his peers, whose admiration turned to adoration in the face of his quick wit and repartee. His reputation grew during a brief spell as an undergraduate at Oriel college, Oxford, to the point that he was presented to the Prince Regent who was so enchanted that he gave the 16-year-old Brummell a regimental commission in his regiment, the 10th Royal Hussars – which, with its array of elaborate uniforms designed for different occasions and famously indulgent mess behaviour, could almost have been formed with him in mind.
By the age of 24, Brummell – with considerable influence from the Prince – had reached the rank of Captain, but resigned his commission on hearing that he was to be posted to Manchester, a city he considered lacking in culture and sophistication. Soon afterwards, however, he inherited a useful fortune of around £30,000 which enabled him to live stylishly in a Mayfair apartment where he claimed to spend five hours a day simply getting dressed in his understated, yet exquisitely fitted, uniform of dark coat, full length trousers and elaborate cravat – a look which is said to have been the precursor to the modern suit and tie. The Prince became fixated by Brummell's attitude to dress, his meticulous attention to bathing and shaving and his resulting immaculate appearance. And, when he began to imitate it, the 'Brummell style' was quickly picked-up by other members of high society.

Q: grab all rows but the last month in sql Here is a query to get all rows in the past month.
$time = time() - 9676800;

$q = $this->db->query("
    select id
    from ipAddress
    where date > {$time}
");

But how can i adjust this query to get all rows BESIDES the past month? Basically I want to end up deleting all rows over 1 month old

A: So long as your methodology for calculating "last/past month" satisfies you, then it's simple:
where date <= {$time}

A: You can use date_format, date_sub functions to get last month's dates.
Find answers here:
mysql last month date statement
and here
MySQL Query to calculate the Previous Month

A: You can do it like so
$time = strtotime('-1 Month');

$q = $this->db->query("
    select id
    from ipAddress
    where `date` <= {$time}
");

but if date is a TIMESTAMP, DATE, or DATETIME string like 2013-02-27 22:16:38 or 2013-02-27 then you need something like
$time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-1 Month'));

$q = $this->db->query("
    select id
    from ipAddress
    where `date` <= '{$time}'
");

Or purely in SQL
select id
from ipAddress
where `date` <= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH)

And if I remember correctly, date is a reserved mysql word so use backticks in your sql.


Today I'm gonna share some simple tricks for healthy living, things that might seem too simple, but fact is they can really make a difference. You'll also notice that they don't cost much.
1. Get a big water bottle and carry it everywhere.
I bought a small pack that has a side pouch to hold my big bottle, one of the best choices I ever made. But you can also keep it in your car. Fill it up often from your water filter or alkalizer.
We've all done it: you go shopping for basics, and you leave with chips (but they are the healthy olive oil ones!), trail mix (w chocolate of course) and something else...and you totally forgot to get the eggs you went for in the first place. Eating before you shop may solve this problem and help you make choices that more reflect what your body really wants.
Not just tasty, spices are incredibly good for you. They have anti-inflammatory properties, blood sugar balancing properties, are high in antioxidants, and more. It turns out that a flavourful meal is a healthy meal. Eat the spices you're drawn to.
Smoothies are healthy fast food. And for some people, just by adding a smoothie to their day, and they will lose weight. Yes, just like that. But be sure to include some protein and healthy fat in your smoothie. Be sure to see my other smoothie posts.
They say (researchers, that's who), that most of us in the northern hemisphere are Vitamin D deficient. This probably explains our common desire to go to the tropics in the winter. Well taking Vitamin D3 is a lot cheaper. You could do a Vitamin D test first, but at $60 in Canada, its a lot cheaper to just buy Vitamin D. Buy D3, and take 2000iU a day. I like the liquid form. Keep it near your toothpaste or on your kitchen counter. It only works if you take it.
This one is pure genius. Not only does it save time but you'll find yourself eating more veggies. You'll open your fridge and see brightly coloured peppers, carrots and celery just ready to be eaten! So cut your carrots into sticks (or slices for stir fries), same with celery, and you might even wash and chop your greens and put them in a container with a paper towel on top. (I also recommend making a home made ranch dip).
I sometimes get really cold feet in bed (no not in that way, lol), especially on those cold winter nights, so I will often fill up a hot water bottle and throw it in my bed to pre-warm it. just be careful cause they can be really, really hot. This is also great if you get thirsty at night. (kidding).

Federal judge rejects Justice Department challenge to Florida voter purge
Great news for those who desire fair and honest elections: the Orlando Sentinel reports that U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle has �??rejected a request from the Obama Administration to put an immediate stop to [Florida�??s] non-citizen voter purge program.�?�
The program in question involved 2600 challenge letters sent out to suspected illegitimate voters, whose registration information did not match up with other databases available to the state. Over 100 illegitimate voters have already been discovered, with at least 50 of them having committed the felony offense of voting illegally in previous elections.
Not all of the responses are in yet, since recipients of these letters were given 90 days to reply, plus another 90 days after that during which the state would make further efforts to get in touch with them, if no reply was received by the original deadline. Also, some Florida counties suspended operations at their discretion after the legality of the purge was challenged.
Judge Hinkle was not an unreserved supporter of the Florida program, but he rejected the legal basis for the DOJ challenge. The National Voter Registration Act specifies a 90-day �??safe window�?� before elections, in which voter registration cannot be changed by the state, but Hinkle found that this provision �??did not apply to removing non-citizens from the rolls.�?�
He went on to say that �??Determining citizenship is not as easy as the state would have it. Questioning someone�??s citizenship isn�??t as trivial as the state would have it.�?� Of course, the state of Florida was perfectly aware of that, which is why they attempted to gain access to the far more accurate data maintained by the Department of Homeland Security, only to be illegally refused by the Obama Administration. That�??s one of the reasons it took so long to winnow the original list of 180,000 questionable voters down to the 2,600 letters of challenge that were actually sent. Florida�??s lawsuit against the DHS over this refusal is still pending.
