Here's the makeup tutorial for the Galaxy Girl Glitter Buns that I recently posted.
I thought this makeup would be hard to recreate but it's actually pretty simple if you take the time to blend it all out. The most difficult part was gluing the glitter to my skin because it kind of clumped up so I highly recommend using white paint or eyeliner to draw on the constellations.
Step 1 / Using the the Charlotte Tillbury eyeshadow pencil in champagne diamonds, place this all of the lids and up into the crease.
Step 2 / Take a light pink shimmer shade and place this throughout the crease on the right eye and all over the lid on the left eye.
Step 3 / Now apply the same shade around the top of the bridge of the nose and then all over the tip of the nose.
Step 4 / Then apply the shadow all over both of the cheeks and up to the right temple.
Step 5 / Now take a hot pink shimmer shade and apply this under the cheekbones, along the edges of the light pink shade.
Step 6 / Then apply it in the right temple, in the crease on the right eye, along the sides of the top of the bridge of the nose and along the edges of the forehead on the right side.
Step 7 / Then place the shade on the left eyelid and at the tip of the nose above the nostrils.
Step 8 / Next, take a light blue shimmer eyeshadow and place this in the crease of the left eye.
Step 9 / Then place the shade on the center of the nose between the two pink shades.
Step 10 / Bring the color under the right eye spreading it up to the right eye and down to the pink on the cheek.
Step 11 / Then place it on the left eye.
Step 12 / Grab a dark blue shimmer eyeshadow and begin deepening up the color, starting on the left cheekbone.
Step 13 / Bring the shade into the left temple and spread it up to the edges of the forehead on the left side.
Step 14 / Line the lash lines with a black liquid eyeliner.
Step 15 / Apply a few coats of mascara and then apply some false eyelashes.
Step 16 / Using a white face paint, apply a few start constellations with a thin eyeshadow brush.
Step 17 / Use eyelash glue to place a few dots of glue throughout the blue eyeshadow.
Step 18 / Tap glitter over the glue with an eyeshadow brush.
Step 19 / Line the lips with MAC 'In Anticipation' lip liner.
Step 20 / Apply MAC 'Please Me' lipstick over the lip liner.
Halloween is coming up soon so I'm excited to be sharing my first Halloween tutorial. I am not a fan of wearing intricate, fussy costumes so today I'm sharing how to recreate these easy double messy buns for this galaxy/space/alien girl.
This is my "signature" bun so if you've been following me for a while then you've seen me do this style of bun hundreds of times! It's forever a favorite!
Step 1 / Start by parting the hair in a zigzag part slightly off center.
Step 2 / Continue the part down the back of the head to split the hair into a left and right side.
Step 4 / Brush the right section up into a high ponytail near the crown of the head.
Step 5 / Wrap a hair tie once over the hair then twist it over the right hand.
Step 6 / Spread the hair around the hair band forming a donut shape and then wrap the hair band twice more over the hair to form the base of the bun.
Step 7 / Pull on the edges of the bun to make it really big and full.
Step 8 / Take the ends left sticking out and wrap these back towards the front of the bun tucking them in to form a loop.
Step 9 / Pin down the edges of the bun so it's flush with the head.
Step 10 / Let down the left section of hair and repeat the same steps creating a second bun at the crown of the head next to the first one.
Step 10 / Mix a quarter size amount of hair gel with some glitter.
Step 11 / Then paint the glitter along the edges of the part to finish the style.
Today's tutorial was inspired by the Half Wrapped Bun that I recently shared. I wanted to try the same type of style but with a more textured bun and love how this one turned out.
The key for this style is to make the twists big enough to cover the hair padding underneath. If you have thinner hair you can try using a smaller hair cushion or clip in some extensions for extra volume. I think this would be so pretty with a smaller bun and would even work with any type of braid – french braid, dutch braid, whichever type is your favorite!
Step 2 / Divide out a section of hair on the left side, from the part down to the left ear and clip away the forward hair.
Step 3 / Combine the remaining hair and tie it into a low ponytail above the nape of the neck.
Step 4 / Take two bobby pins and slide them over an elastic band so there's one on each side of the elastic.
Step 5 / Flip the ponytail up towards the top of the head and slide one bobby pin underneath the ponytail on the right side about an inch above the base of the ponytail.
Step 6 / Wrap the elastic over the top of the ponytail hair, and then slide the other bobby pin underneath the ponytail on the left side.
Step 7 / Grab a hair cushion and place this over the two elastic bands, near the nape of the neck and slide some bobby pins around the edges to hold it in place.
Step 8 / Lay the ends of the ponytail over the hair cushion and divide it into four sections.
Step 9 / Take the left most section from the ponytail, twist it together towards the right side, and then lay it over the hair cushion on the left side.
Step 10 / Pin the twist against the cushion with a bobby pin at the center and then go back over the twist, pulling on the edges to make it really big and full.
Step 11 / Then pin the twist again at the base of the bun.
Step 12 / Pick up a new section of hair from the ponytail, next to the previous section. Twist this section together towards the left, pull on the edges to make it bigger and more full and then pin it next to the first twist, at the base of the bun.
Step 13 / Repeat those same steps with the two remaining sections of hair, creating two more twisted sections, pinning them over the hair cushion on the right side.
Tip: Make sure to pull the twists large enough that they hide any gaps between the twists. You want to hide as much of the hair cushion as you can with the hair.
Step 14 / Now take the hair that's sticking out the bottom of the bun and divide this into two sections.
Step 15 / Taking the left section, twist this together, pull on the edges to make it bigger and lay it along the left side of the bun, pinning it in place at the top.
Step 16 / Then do the same thing with the hair on the right side, wrapping it up the right side of the bun and pinning it at the top.
Step 17 / Now let down the hair that was clipped away at the beginning and divide out a small section near the part for the twist braid.
Step 18 / Split this section into two pieces and cross the left strand over the right strand.
Step 19 / Add a new section of hair into bother sides and cross the left strand over the right strand again.
Step 20 / Repeat those steps adding new sections into each side, twisting each section towards the face and crossing the left strand over the right strand.
Step 21 / Once all of the hair is brought into the braid then continue the twist down to the ends.
Step 22 / Go back over the twist and pull on the edges to make it bigger and more full.
Step 23 / Lay the braid over the top of the bun and pin it in place with bobby pins.
Step 24 / Set everything in place with hairspray and smooth down any flyaways.
Today's tutorial is this pretty half up hairstyle inspired by @svglamour on instagram. I love looking through pictures of hairstyles and always feel so inspired by the different hairstylists I follow on instagram and pinterest. It's so amazing to see everyone's unique styles and perspectives on hair. It has always been so fun for me to share my passion for hair and I love seeing it from so many other people as well.
Step 2 / Divide out a 3″ section of hair on the left side near the hair line and clip this out of the way.
Step 3 / Pick up a small section behind the section clipped away and divide this into three pieces.
Step 4 / Begin a dutch braid by crossing the right strand under the middle and then cross the left under the middle.
Step 5 / Combine the middle and right strand together, take a small piece from the right side and cross it under to the left side.
Step 6 / Pick up a new section of hair and cross it under to the left side.
Step 7 / Then cross a small section from the left side under to the right, pick up a new section of hair and cross it under the right.
Step 8 / Repeat those steps continuing the dutch fishtail braid until it reaches the left temple.
Step 9 / Stop adding new sections into the braid and just continue the fishtail braid down to the ends.
Step 10 / Then slide a bobby pin over the bottom so it doesn't unravel.
Step 11 / Let down the front hair that was clipped away and pick up a section near the part and divide it into two sections.
Step 12 / Cross the left strand over the right strand.
Step 13 / Add a new section of hair into both pieces, twist each section towards the face and then cross the left strand over the right strand.
Step 14 / Repeat those steps until all of the hair from this section is brought into the braid.
Step 15 / Then continue the braid down to the bottom of the section and slide a bobby pin over the bottom.
Step 16 / Now pick up a section of hair on the right side of the head, above the ear and create a second twist braid, adding in hair from the top of the head.
Step 17 / Take the fishtail braid and pull on the edges to make the braid wider and more full.
Step 18 / Bring the braid around the back of the head and pin it in place with bobby pins.
Step 19 / Take the braid on the right side of the head, lay it underneath the fishtail braid and pin it in place with bobby pins.
Step 20 / Pull on the bottom of the twist to make it look bigger.
Step 21 / Then take the twist braid on the left side, lay it underneath the fishtail braid and pin it in place with bobby pins.
Step 22 / Go back over the braid, pulling on the bottom to make the twist bigger.


Held on Saturday, January 27, the Twitch Melbourne Community Meet Up saw just under 150 community members descend on GG EZ bar.
The event doubled as a viewing party for GenerOZity, playing on all screens. Additionally the night featured a special Twitch themed bubble cup, of which $3 from each one sold went to the charity.
You can check out a small sample of the night below.

Former US vice president, Joe Biden announces his decision to run for president in 2020
Former US vice president Joseph R. Biden Jr. has announced his decision to run for president for the third time to challenge President Trump in 2020.
The 76-year-old Democrat politician who served eight years as Barack Obama's vice president after more than three decades in the U.S. Senate made the announcement in a campaign video released Thursday morning.

The core values of this nation… our standing in the world… our very democracy...everything that has made America -- America --is at stake. That's why today I'm announcing my candidacy for President of the United States. #Joe2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbOU2fTg6cI …
Explaining his reasons for running, Mr. Biden began by recalling the white supremacist march through Charlottesville, Va., in 2017 and a counterprotest, and Mr. Trump's comment that there were "very fine people on both sides." In that moment, Mr. Biden said, "I knew the threat to our nation was unlike any I'd ever seen in my lifetime."
"We are in the battle for the soul of this nation," Mr. Biden said. "I believe history will look back on four years of this president and all he embraces as an aberrant moment in time. But if we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation, who we are, and I cannot stand by and watch that happen."
Biden's first major campaign event is set for Monday in Pittsburgh, where he is expected to speak about rebuilding an inclusive middle class, according to NBC News. Biden will then launch a multistate campaign tour with a focus on states with early voting, where he will hash out his vision for closing the divides that are driving Americans apart, NBC reported.

Possible vaping, severe lung illness link sparks CDC probe
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating whether a series of lung illnesses reported across multiple states is linked to vaping.
Last week, dozens of teens in the Midwest were hospitalized with lung issues that were possibly tied to vaping. Cases were primarily reported in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
Patients reported similar symptoms – shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and vomiting in some cases – and some were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Teens across the states reported using vaping devices for both nicotine and THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that produces the "high" sensation, prior to their hospitalization.
In a statement over the weekend, the federal health agency said it's "providing consultation" to state health departments in Wisconsin, Illinois, California, Indiana, and Minnesota "about a cluster of pulmonary illnesses linked to e-cigarette product use, or 'vaping' primarily among adolescents and young adults."
"Additional states have alerted CDC to possible (not confirmed) cases and investigations into these cases are ongoing," the CDC added, noting there is "no conclusive evidence" that an infectious disease is behind the illnesses.
In total, there have been nearly 94 cases of "severe" illnesses associated with using e-cigarettes. Cases have been reported across 14 states since June 28, and at least 30 were reported in Wisconsin, according to the CDC.
The negative health effects associated with cigarette and cigar use have long been documented, leading to a decline in both among teens in the U.S. in recent years.
In 2018, for example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported roughly 1 in 50 – about 1.8 percent – of middle school students said they smoked cigarettes in the past 30 days, down from 4.3 percent in 2011 and a drastic decrease from 36.4 percent in 1997 when rates "peaked after increasing throughout the first half of the 1990s," according to the American Lung Association.
But the same is not true for e-cigarette use. In 2018, nearly 1 of every 20 middle school students (4.9 percent) reported using electronic cigarettes in the past 30 days. That's an increase from less than 1 percent in 2011.
Last year, the Surgeon General of the United States, Jerome Adams, declared vaping among American teens an "epidemic."
"This is an unprecedented challenge," Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said in response at the time.
The health issues – both short and long term – of e-cigarette use are not well understood, and the U.S. Food and Drug and Administration (FDA) does not require the manufacturers of e-cigarette devices to list all the ingredients in them.
A recent study from Yale University and Duke University found the e-cigarette liquid in Juul devices contain chemicals known as acetals. Acetals, according to the researchers, could cause lung irritation.
Separately, the FDA announced last week it's investigating 127 reports of seizures occurring after vaping.

TJ Warren's 39 ruins 30-point night for LeBron James, Lakers fall to 2-4
Kim Klement-Getty Images
August 8, 2020 8:38 pm ET
[jwplayer 4jj2NETo-z6KDnl0B]
LeBron James played his most aggressive offensive game of the bubble so far, racking up his highest point total so far of the seeding games with 31 points, but the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers were not up to the task on Saturday night as they fell to 2-4 in their six seeding games, losing to the Indiana Pacers, 116-111. The Lakers were the latest team to burn in the flames of the TJ Warren inferno, as the Bubble's leading scorer poured in a game-high 39 points for the Pacers.
In addition to the play of Warren, the Pacers got 22 points from Victor Oladipo. On the other side of the court, Anthony Davis had an anonymous eight points on 3 for 14 shooting as the Pacers worked hard to force the ball from his hands and double-team him every time he caught the ball in the post. Meanwhile, Kyle Kuzma doesn't have the same excuse as he went 3 for 14 off the bench without nearly the same kind of defensive attention. The best supporting performance from the Lakers tonight came from Quinn Cook, who scored 21 points off the bench.
The Lakers are back on the court on Monday when they face a potential conference final opponent in the Denver Nuggets.

Luise del Zopp, auch Louise oder Luise Lingg und Luise del Zopp-Lingg (* 16. Juni 1871 als Aloisia Theresia Johanna Luksch in Brünn, Österreich-Ungarn; † 9. Mai 1953 in Berlin), war eine österreichischstämmige, deutsche Sängerin, Schauspielerin und Drehbuchautorin beim deutschen Film der 1910er-Jahre.

Leben
Die gebürtige Aloisia Theresia Johanna Luksch ließ sich ab 1892 in ihrer Heimatstadt Brünn bei Fritz Krejzi künstlerisch ausbilden. In Brünn begann sie in der Spielzeit 1894/95 auch ihre berufliche Laufbahn als Sängerin unter dem Namen Louise Lingg und wirkte überdies als Volontärin am Stadttheater Brünn. Weitere Verpflichtungen führten Lingg als Erste Operettensängerin nach Wien, München, wo sie sich von Hans Schinkel fortbilden ließ, und Berlin sowie als Schauspielerin an das Stadttheater von Troppau. Zwischen 1898 und 1900 gehörte Lingg dem Ensemble des Gärtnerplatztheaters in München an. Es folgten Verpflichtungen ins böhmische Grenzgebiet, nach Karlsbad und Teplitz-Schönau. Von 1903 bis 1905 ist Louise Lingg am Theater an der Wien nachweisbar, anschließend (1906) wirkte sie in Salzburg und unternahm Gastspielreisen (sog. Buchbinder-Tournee, die sie nach Breslau, Hamburg und Frankfurt am Main führte).

Die junge L(o)uise Lingg wurde anfänglich im Fach der jugendlich-dramatischen Opernsängerin eingesetzt. Ihr Rollenrepertoire umfasste die Saffi, Rosalinde, Laura, Mimosa, Natalitza, Suza, Nedda, Santuzza, Leonore, Elsa, Pamina, Friquet sowie die Olympia, Giulietta und Antonia in Hoffmanns Erzählungen. Auch in Parodien wirkte die Künstlerin mit, etwa mit der Elisabeth (Tannhäuser-Parodie) und dem Gretchen (Faust-Parodie). Ihr Repertoire bezeichnete Luise Lingg selbst als "sehr groß".

Ab 1909 war die Sängerin und Schauspielerin in Berlin ansässig, konzentrierte sich aber seit dem darauffolgenden Jahr ganz auf die Arbeit als Drehbuchautorin bei dem bis dahin noch wenig entwickelten Medium Film. Nebenbei blieb sie bis zum Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs 1914 weiterhin als Operettensängerin aktiv und unternahm Gastspielreisen. Der Filmpionier Oskar Messter verpflichtete sie 1910 als Autorin und brachte die mittlerweile mit dem Schauspieler und Sänger Rudolf del Zopp verheiratete Luise del Zopp mit dem Regisseur Adolf Gärtner zusammen, der wie sie ein Filmdebütant war. 1911/12 realisierte dieses Tandem eine Fülle von kurzen Spielfilmen, 1913 arbeitete Luise del Zopp im Rahmen der Treumann-Larsen-Film-Vertriebs-GmbH auch mehrfach mit dem Stummfilmstar und Regisseur Viggo Larsen zusammen. Ihr Drehbuch zu Adressatin verstorben wurde bei einem Wettbewerb der Produktionsfirma Messter unter 500 Einsendungen mit dem ersten Preis belohnt. Die junge Henny Porten landete in dieser Gärtner-Inszenierung einen ihrer ersten großen Filmerfolge. Bei vielen dieser frühen Stummfilme wirkte die in den Jahren 1910 bis 1913 enorm produktive Luise del Zopp auch als Dramaturgin.

Bei der Aufführung des von ihr geschriebenen und von Larsen inszenierten Films Das Kriegslied der Rheinarmee in den Kant-Lichtspielen in Berlin-Charlottenburg absolvierte sie live einen Auftritt als Sängerin und trug die Marseillaise vor. Zu Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs wurde sie von der Eiko-Film des Produzenten Franz Vogel verpflichtet. In dieser Spätphase ihrer Tätigkeit als Drehbuchautorin kooperierte Luise del Zopp eng mit ihrem Mann Rudolf, der bei diesen Eiko-Produktionen (1914/15) regelmäßig Regie führte. Gelegentlich trat sie jetzt auch vor die Kamera.

Nach 1915 verschwand Luise del Zopp weitgehend aus dem Fokus der Öffentlichkeit. Nach dem Tod ihres Ehemanns Anfang 1927 geriet die vergessene Künstlerin mehr und mehr in wirtschaftliche Schwierigkeiten. Sie war auf finanzielle Unterstützung durch die Wohlfahrt angewiesen und erhielt vom Regiekollegen Gerhard Lamprecht, der ihre monatliche Miete von 52 RM beglichen haben soll, weitere Hilfe. Gleich nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, als sie bereits schwer krank war, soll sie mit einem Artisten zusammen gelebt haben. Ihrem 80. Geburtstag widmete das Deutsche Bühnen-Jahrbuch 1952 einen kurzen Eintrag:

1953 verstarb sie nach einem Schlaganfall im Hospital des Waldkrankenhauses Spandau.

7.33am EDT 07:33 The teams!
That's all from me, but the footballing fun isn't over yet – Join Nick Ames now for Arsenal v Manchester City. Bye!
Arsenal v Manchester City: Premier League – live!
Liverpool's last four results against West Ham: 4-0, 4-1, 4-1, 4-0.
Sturridge's goal came 24 seconds after he came on.
There's always expectation. Everyone wants to get off to a good start and we managed to do that. It was a pretty good performance, we can always improve but it was a good start.
Keita's a good player, you can see that straight away. He's only going to get better. Coming into a new team and how we play, it's not easy to learn. It's a fantastic start. He's a ball-winner, he's got fantastic ability. He's top quality and it's more competition for places which is exactly what you want. It's a great squad, and exactly what we want.
With only two teams yet to play, Liverpool are top of the table!
So Liverpool are still good, then. West Ham will have to be judged another day, though they will have to have another think about how they defend crosses.
90+4 mins: Henderson slides the ball to Shaqiri, running alone into the area and with a wonderful chance of capping his debut with a goal, but the linesman's flag is raised. And that's that!

Vigeville est une commune française située dans le département de la Creuse, en région Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Géographie

Généralités

Dans la moitié nord du département de la Creuse, la commune de Vigeville s'étend sur . Elle est arrosée au sud par le ruisseau de Vigeville, un petit affluent de la Creuse.

L'altitude minimale avec  se trouve localisée à l'extrême sud-ouest, près du puy de Drouille, là où le ruisseau de Vigeville quitte le territoire communal et entre sur celui de Pionnat. L'altitude maximale avec  est située environ à un kilomètre au nord-ouest du bourg, au nord de la route départementale .

À  au sud de la , le bourg de Vigeville est situé, en distances orthodromiques,  à l'est de Guéret, la préfecture, et  à l'ouest-nord-ouest d'Aubusson, la sous-préfecture.

Le territoire communal est également brièvement desservi à l'est par les .

Communes limitrophes

Vigeville est limitrophe de trois autres communes.

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat des marges montargnardes », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat de montagne » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Pour ce type de climat, la température décroît rapidement en fonction de l'altitude. On observe une nébulosité minimale en hiver et maximale en été. Les vents et les précipitations varient notablement selon le lieu.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Gouzon », sur la commune de Gouzon, mise en service en 1959 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle est de  et la hauteur de précipitations de  pour la période 1981-2010.
Sur la station météorologique historique la plus proche, « Châteauroux Déols », sur la commune de Déols, dans le département de l'Indre, mise en service en 1893 et à , la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000, à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Vigeville est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de Guéret, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (86,3 % en 2018), en augmentation par rapport à 1990 (84,1 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
prairies (60,9 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (25,4 %), forêts (13,4 %), milieux à végétation arbustive et/ou herbacée (0,2 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune de Vigeville est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : météorologiques (tempête, orage, neige, grand froid, canicule ou sécheresse) et séisme (sismicité faible). Il est également exposé à un risque particulier : le risque de radon. Un site publié par le BRGM permet d'évaluer simplement et rapidement les risques d'un bien localisé soit par son adresse soit par le numéro de sa parcelle.

Risques naturels

Le retrait-gonflement des sols argileux est susceptible d'engendrer des dommages importants aux bâtiments en cas d'alternance de périodes de sécheresse et de pluie. 35,4 % de la superficie communale est en aléa moyen ou fort (33,6 % au niveau départemental et 48,5 % au niveau national). Sur les  dénombrés sur la commune en 2019,  sont en en aléa moyen ou fort, soit 15 %, à comparer aux 25 % au niveau départemental et 54 % au niveau national. Une cartographie de l'exposition du territoire national au retrait gonflement des sols argileux est disponible sur le site du BRGM.

Par ailleurs, afin de mieux appréhender le risque d'affaissement de terrain, l'inventaire national des cavités souterraines permet de localiser celles situées sur la commune.

La commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par les inondations et coulées de boue survenues en 1982 et 1999. Concernant les mouvements de terrains, la commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par des mouvements de terrain en 1999.

Risque particulier
Dans plusieurs parties du territoire national, le radon, accumulé dans certains logements ou autres locaux, peut constituer une source significative d'exposition de la population aux rayonnements ionisants. Certaines communes du département sont concernées par le risque radon à un niveau plus ou moins élevé. Selon la classification de 2018, la commune de Vigeville est classée en zone 3, à savoir zone à potentiel radon significatif.

Histoire

En 1997, la commune a reçu la Brique symbolique et le prix départemental au titre des trophées « Villes et villages gagnants » récompensant les collectivités locales qui ont entrepris des travaux de revalorisation du patrimoine.

President Dilma Rousseff's No Win Situation
Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff REUTERS/Adriano Machado
In September 2013, President Dilma Rousseff addressed the U.N. General Assembly. She delivered a fervent criticism of the U.S.'s NSA spying program. She scolded the U.S. for violating international law by indiscriminately spying on citizens and foreign governments. Anti-American members of the General Assembly wildly applauded her remarks. To stir up sentiment against the U.S., President Rousseff reminded the diplomats that in the 70s she served with the Brazilian guerrillas. When captured by the ruling military authorities, she was imprisoned and tortured. The diplomats understood the President's implied David and Goliath analogy. President Rousseff went on to praise Latin America's battle against authoritarianism and the disregard for the right to privacy. The Brazilian leader basked in her moment of fame. Those cheering Rousseff's speech could never have imagined how her political fortunes would change over the next two years. At the time of her U.N. speech, she had to have known that the Brazilian economy was slowing down and that the Petrobras SA scandal was growing.
Like other developing countries, Brazil has its share of pressing social issues . Countless motions pictures have been made about the country's sprawling favelas. Visitors to the country see poverty and blight while standing in the midst of glamour and glitz. It is common for brutal crimes to occur in crowded public places while onlookers look on with indifference. Demonstrators often take to the streets to complain about the country's much neglected public transportation infrastructure. Local Brazilian politicians demand that their leaders address these issues and not grandstand on the international stage.
Upon taking office, President Rousseff promised to continue the policies and work of her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula. Brazil achieved real social and economic development under Lula's stewardship. Millions of Brazilians entered the middle class. Quality education reached millions who had previously not had access to it. Businesses appreciated former President Lula's policy of "spreading the wealth around." In general, Brazilians believed that better times had finally arrived. Former President Lula's endearing charm and genuine advocacy of the developing world pushed Brazil a to the forefront of international politics. Every politician knows that good times can turn into bad times with little warning.
Many commentators and economists questioned Lula's reliance upon governmental subsidies to finance social problems. President Rousseff was not one of the skeptics. Influential economists warned that the economy would cool off, thus hindering the government's ability to finance the promised social changes. Many Latin American countries turn to state-owned companies to financial social change. Unfortunately, using state-owned companies to subsidize social programs tends to sap the companies' economic vitality and turn them into breeding grounds of corruption. Former President Lula ignored the dangers of using the country's state-owned and run oil, company, Petrobras SA, as the government's piggybank. Though President Rousseff graduated college with a degree in economics, she chose to disregard her education and, upon assuming the Presidency, continued to plunder Petrobras SA. to finance her socialist agenda. The scandals that have erupted around the state-owned company have paralyzed the country and dragged the economy further down. President Rousseff cannot escape the consequences of her connection to the Petrobras scandals; she served as Chairman of Petrobras SA under former President Lula. Regardless of her political connections, President Rousseff, in my opinion, lacked the experience or technical knowledge to run Petrobras SA as a real business.
According to Fortune's (2014) Biggest Losers of the Global 500, Petrobras SA comes in at #3. The company's debt of 125 billion is the highest among all international oil companies. Due to mismanagement, falling commodity prices and rampant corruption the company's finances are a mess. Brazilians are waiting for someone to step up and sacrifice themselves to save Petrobras SA from itself. Most Brazilians believe that President Rousseff should be that person.
The never-ending arrests and reports of illegal activity at Petrobras SA are rattling the country to its political core. Recently, the police conducted a second mass arrest operation of those accused of corruption. A year ago police arrested 35 oil executives who had been charged with bribery, money laundering and other corruption-related charges. Newly installed Petrobras executives recently admitted that the company is facing uncertain times.
It is not difficult to imagine how the average Brazilian feels about the Petrobras SA mess; they have lost confidence in their government officials to faithfully execute the laws that they were elected to enforce. The extent of the corruption makes it impossible for President Rousseff to claim that she was not attuned to the culture of corruption at a company she chaired. I do not think she can function effectively as the country's chief executive.
Concerning Brazil's present-day problems, financial experts, political scientist and policy formulating economists debate how best to put the country back on track. The Petrobras scandal has caused a lack of confidence across the board. This, in turn, has led to a downturn in the economy.
Some experts argue that the economic problems that the country now face are largely independent of the Petrobras scandal. What all agree upon is that Brazil is caught in a pincer: the economy is in a full-blown recession and the Petrobras scandal keeps growing.

Venezuela's Latest Currency Devaluation
Venezuela is South America's forth largest economy. Many people forget that it was one of the founding countries of OPEC. By the early 1990s Venezuela was the third largest oil producing nation in the world. These facts get lost in the never-ending debate over the effects of President Hugo Chavez's push towards socialism.
The late Hugo Chavez was considered a defender of the poor. He was admired by many of his contemporaries because of his ability to stand up to Western imperialism. The left-leaning South American presidents supported President Chavez's efforts to lead Venezuela down a path to socialism. In my opinion no head of state of any South America country have Chavez's political sophistication or ability to manipulate public opinion. For years President Chavez convinced his supporters that their lot in life had improved because of his leadership. Without Chavez's imposing personality and fiery rhetoric it is likely that Venezuelans will start to question the nation's economic health. The Venezuelan community be surprised to learn that President Chavez ruined the nation's oil industry by using its revenues like a piggy bank to fund his socialist experiment. It is time for Venezuelans to ask where the government gets the money to fund so many expensive social programs.
After waging a long battle with cancer Hugo Chavez died on March 5, 2013. According to a statement released by the military he died of a massive heart attack. Most commentators believe that he had returned from Cuba because no further treatment would arrest the progress of his disease. If is safe to assume that Chavez knew that his time was up. I do not believe that Chavez was actually in charge of the country's daily operations during his last few weeks. The late president was probably consulted on major policy decisions and actions.
On February 8, 2013 the government devalued its currency by 32%. At that time it was suggested that this action was designed to clear the decks for a new economic regime. Most economists concluded that the devaluation by itself would not lead to an appreciable improvement in the economy. I think that the devaluation was part of a strategy to give the President's presumptive successor a political advantage in the soon to be held elections. I do not believe that this monetary action was taken to improve the lives of poor Venezuelans.
Generally speaking the value of a given currency is determined by its relativity to the value of another currency. This exchange rate is normally based upon the amount of the home currency which is needed to purchase one unit of the foreign currency. It is common for countries to base their currencies upon the U.S. dollar or Eurozone euro. Currencies rise and fall depending on movements in the financial markets. Today major currencies are said to "float" along with market conditions.
Many third world nations have elected to fix the value of their currencies. The New York Fed. Reserve Bank explains how this method of evaluating a country's currency works:
"Under a fixed exchange rate system, only a decision by a country's government or monetary authority can alter the official value of the currency. Governments do, occasionally, take such measures, often in response to unusual market pressures. Devaluation, the deliberate downward adjustment in the official exchange rate, reduces the currency's value; in contrast, a revaluation is an upward change in the currency's value."
Venezuela's national currency is the bolivar. Its exchange rate is fixed to the US dollar. Many of the world's Third World Nations' currencies are fixed. In order to sustain a fixed exchange rate, a country must have sufficient foreign exchange reserves to purchase all offers of its currency at the established rate. Because of the Venezuela's political and economic isolation the country has always had problems maintaining an adequate amount of foreign reserves. Over the last few years Venezuela has not been able to support (defend) its currency. The country has devalued the Bolivar numerous times the last decade. Most commentators and financial experts believe that Venezuela's economic problems cannot be addressed by constantly devaluing the Bolivar.

Yahoo CEO to Get Severance Package Worth $55M Upon Sale
May 2, 2016 7:02AM EDT

It seems that Yahoo! Inc YHOO still has long way to go and a number of hurdles to cross before its future is ascertained. After losing more than a third of its important executives, Yahoo somehow managed to avert a proxy war and is still struggling to get a suitable buyer. But the nightmare doesn't seem to end here for Yahoo. Let's see what's with latest move.
In a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission last Friday, Yahoo revealed that CEO Marissa Mayer will get a severance package of $55 million if the sale of its Internet operations costs Mayer her job. The payout includes cash severance of $3 million, restricted stock units and options.
The company refused to comment beyond the filing.
Mayer was hired by Yahoo in 2012 to turn the company around but she repeatedly failed in her efforts to develop successful products and boost revenues. She has been making herself unpopular among employees and investors with her pressing management style and unsuccessful strategic moves.
Her latest strategy included cutting back total employees by 15% and selling off properties but that eventually backfired.
Since 2015, more than a third of the company's employees including some of Mayer's key lieutenants have left. She announced hefty packages to put a check on the brain drain but she had already lost the trust of senior employees.
The company cut Mayer's compensation by from $42 million in 2014 to $36 million in 2015. She however, received only about $14 million owing to the company's poor financial performance.
Other executives could also get huge amounts if they are terminated after the sell. Chief Revenue Officer Lisa Utzschneider could get about $20 million while Chief Financial Officer Ken Goldman may receive $16 million.
Although takeover offers are in consideration, the majority of investors believe that the company will eventually decide to sell its core Internet business that includes search, mail and news sites. In February, Yahoo launched an auction and has reportedly narrowed down its list of bidders to 10 companies by now.
Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney believes that Verizon Communications Inc. VZ heads the list of prospective buyers and that being the case, there is a chance that Verizon will make Tim Armstrong, the new CEO of Yahoo. Armstrong currently is the CEO of AOL Inc. that Verizon recently acquired for $4.4 billion.
Last week, Yahoo managed to avert a proxy war when it reached a settlement with activist shareholder Starboard Value LP, which was pushing to replace Yahoo's entire board. Under the agreement, Yahoo agreed to add four independent directors of Starboard including CEO Jeffery Smith.
Despite growth in new businesses, "we are still in a transition phase as we work on our turnaround strategy," Yahoo said in the filing.
Currently, Yahoo is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock. Better choices for investors would be Facebook, Inc. FB , sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and Blue Calypso, Inc. BCYP , carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Potbelly Sandwich Shop:
Potbelly Sandwich Shop Opens First Columbia Location
By: Potbelly Sandwich Shop | 1 Shares 77 Reads
The beloved shop brings its toasty warm sandwiches and signature shakes to Central Missouri.
July 20, 2017 // Franchising.com // COLUMBIA, Mo - Potbelly Sandwich Shop announced today that its first shop in Columbia will be open to the public on Tuesday, July 25. The shop is located in Forum Development Group's Broadway Bluffs at 2500 Broadway Bluffs Drive on East Broadway, near the intersection with Highway 63. The widely acclaimed neighborhood hangout features toasty warm sandwiches, hand-dipped milkshakes and live music, all making it "The Best Place for Lunch."
Potbelly shops have earned a reputation in neighborhoods across the United States for having delicious food, fun décor and fresh tunes. Restaurant and hospitality aficionado Evan Thomas will open this Columbia location, drawing on his understanding of the brand after working for several Potbelly shops in Chicago to build a restaurant that will match Columbia's unique personality.
"Opening our first location here is definitely a cause for celebration," Thomas said. "Since I worked at my first Potbelly shop in Chicago, I couldn't wait to open my own location. Now, I'm ready to bring a great lunch experience and fun neighborhood vibe to families and students throughout Columbia."
A Columbia native, Thomas brings nearly 20 years of restaurant and customer service experience to his new shop, including working as the general manager at numerous Potbelly corporate locations in Chicago. Thomas plans to give back to the local neighborhood with an oven-warming event on July 24, with proceeds going to the Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri.
Thomas will manage the Potbelly Sandwich Shop in Columbia, which includes day-to-day operations, hiring new staff and booking local musicians who perform regularly at the shop. Hours of operation will be Mondays through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
"With this opening, we're looking forward to watching Evan make Potbelly the best place for lunch in Columbia," said Chris Birkinshaw, senior director of domestic franchising for Potbelly Sandwich Shop. "With Evan's background in the industry and his extensive experience at Potbelly locations in Chicago, he has what it takes to make his location a perfect fit for locals and students looking for their favorite new favorite sandwich shop."
Potbelly Sandwich Shop first opened in Chicago in 1977, and operates more than 400 shops across the United States. Franchisees operate more than 35 shops in the United States and abroad, and Potbelly plans to continue franchise growth in 2017.

There are many things to be thankful of in my life. Victoria is one of them. She is basically the sun in my whole universe. Its unfortunate that I have to 'pull back' a little when I hear her whining in her crib while her mother picks her up to hold her. I want to be the one to do that for her.
Realizing that her mother has been up every two hours with little Victoria, I wake up from a comfortable nights sleep. I hear her whine in the crib (she doesn't have the chance to cry because she is rescued from hunger by her mother) as I let her mother sleep in so I can have that one-on-one time with my beautiful grand daughter. I suppose that is my way of getting what I want. Hee hee!
Victoria is definitely not a crying baby as of yet. She does, however have a whine that sounds a little over-dramatic which is why I refer to her as a 'drama queen'. And her name is Victoria. How appropriate!
As I tiptoe by her crib with a nice warm bottle of a mixture of breast milk and formula, I turn off the sound machine my bestie gave my grand daughter (to drown out any foreign noises). Awake and alert is what I find! She is trying to turn over. So young! I remember she did that the first week of being home. My mother mentioned that I was constantly doing that as well.
My daughter is sitting up from her pillow and I tell her to "stay in bed, I will change and feed the baby." My own bonding moment with the Queen!
Here I am. The grandmother of a 10 day old infant. Although I have been getting enough sleep, the 'every two-hour' feeding time has not yet bothered me. Looking at her face mesmerizes me every time I hold that little bundle of joy. She is such a good baby; always sleeps, never cries and has a great little disposition as of late. Both families are truly blessed with her. I am in charge of cleaning and preparation of the bottles. My daughter has decided to breastfeed but also use formula. We have already gotten the 'green light' from the pediatrician to do this. She seems to be satisfied with two ounces every feeding: one ounce of formula and one ounce of her mother's milk. But we have noticed something missing: it has been ½ a day since she has had a regular healthy bowel movement.
I know this is not something one should blog about. If anything, I would love to hear some advice. I am in route to the store to get her some Karo syrup for her tummy. We tried gas drops last night but still little pellets are found in her diaper. She is having so much trouble staying comfortable that she seems to always lay on her side. Imagine what my little grand baby is going through….still…she doesn't cry about it.
Today you came into our lives with such grace and made our lives worth living. You remind us that there are positives in life. You are a blessing to my heart and I love you.
Before you were born at 9:48 pm Monday 3-10-2014, before your mommy's water broke while she was being admitted into the hospital, before mommy woke me up at 1:00 am Sunday that she was dripping fluid, your mother and I was saying goodbye to your grandfather at the airport. I wished that he could see you in real life. You came into this world a little more than 24 hours away from when we left him off. It's okay, though. Perhaps he and his fiance, your step-grandmother can come for a visit. That would be nice.
While you were waiting to come into this world, I have to say that I was worried if your mother was going to make it. I mean, I questioned why your mother couldn't dilate passed 3 centimeters in a matter of 18 hours. We were all pacing in the hallways; both mommy's family and daddy's family.
Finally the doctor told us that your mother needed a cesarean which really scared me. As she was being wheeled into the operating room, she could hear the Beatles playing on the overhead speakers. I also know that when you were lifted from your mother's open belly, the song "Here comes the sun" was playing.


The surprise resignation of Nigeria's highest-profile pastor has exacerbated a debate among West African Christians on the merits — and limits — of pastor tenure.
Recently, Enoch Adeboye resigned his role as general overseer of the 5-million-member Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Nigeria (though not as overseer of its international presence in 192 nations). He cited the nation's Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and its newly-introduced Governance Code for his action.
Section 9:3 of the code stipulates that leaders or founders of nonprofit organizations—including churches and ministries—must hand over leadership to a non-family member after 70 years of age or 20 years of being in charge. Adeboye is 74, and has been leading his megachurch since 1981.
The law, which is designed to guarantee financial accountability, went into effect in October 2016. If fully implemented, 90 percent of the populous West African nation's evangelical church founders and leaders would be required to step aside.

Microsoft Mixed Reality Dev Days
Microsoft has announced it is planning to host two Mixed Reality Dev Days in Redmond, WA on May 16th and 17th. Additionally, the group is also planning to offer two mixed reality dev days in Japan and Germany at an unknown date later in the year.
The Mixed Reality Dev Days are to be held at the Microsoft Conference Center in Redmond. The 2019 Mixed Reality Dev Days were held in early May at the same location. This year's sessions will be held ahead of Microsoft's annual Build developer conference that focuses on all categories of developers and not just XR developers. The dates for the international conferences are yet to be announced as the locations and venues are yet to be finalized.
It's official! Save the date for Mixed Reality Dev Days, May 16 & 17 in Redmond. We are also doing MR Dev Days Tour this year in Japan and Germany, but dates are still TBD as we search for a venue. Look forward to seeing many of you there this year! pic.twitter.com/vlHRAy837q

Microsoft uses the term Mixed Reality to describe everything ranging from its HoloLens 2 AR headset to the PC VR headsets produced in the collaboration with Samsung and HP. During its Dev Days events, developers will get an opportunity to be more hands-on with its hardware such as the HoloLens while at the same time giving Microsoft feedback on their experiences developing for the Mixed Reality platforms.
Microsoft HoloLens 2 was first announced during the Mobile World Congress last year. It is an enterprise-focused Augmented Reality headset and it began shipping in late 2019.
