Xbox Pavillion at San Diego Comic-Con: First Public Hands-On of Xbox One

Written by Steve Geise
This year's Comic-Con is the first chance for the general public to get their sweaty mitts on the new Xbox One in advance of its release this November. Microsoft has taken over a huge second floor ballroom at the Manchester Grand Hyatt nearby the San Diego Convention Center, and the results look pretty impressive. To the left, they have multiple Xbox One consoles running a handful of launch window titles, while the right side of the room is reserved for upcoming releases on the retiring Xbox 360.
I took the opportunity to kick the tires on the new console myself, and came away not all that impressed by its launch line-up. The controller will feel instantly familiar to legacy Xbox players, with subtle changes such as a retooled d-pad and minimal casing tweaks. It felt right, it felt just like what we're used to, and should continue to be a solid performer for the new console.
I'm not all that keen on the even more Boxy design of the new console but it's unobtrusive enough that it won't draw much attention near your TV. The Kinect is new and improved, larger than the old unit and reportedly much more robust. Microsoft only had one Kinect title on display, a new take on the movie Fantasia that finds players moving colors around the screen to the music. From what I saw, it plays more like a tech demo than a full-fledged game, but we may have only been seeing a portion of the final product.
As for the other new games, playable versions of Crimson Dragons and a weird hybrid racing/fighting game were available, while on stage a developer was walking attendees through a sandbox game called Spark. They were all just secondary to the star attraction though, the swords-and-sandals epic known as Ryse.
In addition to multiple consoles running Ryse, Microsoft set up an elaborate stage where live gladiators occasionally came out and battled. They were watched over by a towering and rotating gladiator statue, while to the left another statue guarded a massive wall banner.
The game has marketing muscle for a reason: it's a great showcase for the new platform. While it's troubling that we only got the same very brief playable demo that was unveiled at this year's E3, that demo is a thrilling if somewhat limiting hack and slash mission that finds our character leading his fellow warriors into battle, occasionally directing their mass movements like a real time strategy game, but mostly just button mashing to kill all the enemies swarming the highly detailed battlefield. The limiting factor is due to the timed button mashes that display on screen during finishing moves, such as pressing X at a crucial moment to deliver a fatal blow. Still, I had a much better time with the game than expected and have confidence in Crysis creator Crytek to deliver a polished final product.
Crimson Dragons finds players controlling a fearsome dragon as it flies on rails through lava-filled caves and shoots other dragons and assorted beasties. It reminded me of the old SEGA game Panzer Dragoon, controlled a bit odd with barely any steering via the left stick and a difficult firing reticule with the right stick. I noticed perceptible lag and choppiness in the draw time of the graphics, not a good sign with console release only months away.
The racing/fighting game seems more like a throwaway Xbox Live release than a key title, so I'm baffled why they brought it along. Players control a motorcycle rider who is being pursued by other riders, and he's able to fight them off by button mashing as they drive by. It's kind of fun in short doses, but certainly not a next gen showcase.
Spark bored me almost immediately. It looks like Minecraft with pretty graphics, and that's just not my cup of tea. Players can build their playing areas with tons of customization, then set their virtual characters loose for some action, but of course the demo was mostly just how to build the landscape. I know Minecraft is hugely popular, but this one doesn't look like a winner to me.
As we bid a fond adieu to the 360, Microsoft shared a few of the remaining big titles on the horizon, including playable versions of LEGO Marvel Superheroes, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Fable Anniversary, and the next Rayman. I'm most excited about the LEGO game, and in sample play that excitement was justified.
Microsoft is also showing playable tablet/mobile demos of their upcoming Halo game, a top down shooter akin to the Tomb Raider multiplayer title that was only available via download. The game is only running on Windows tablets and phones, so not likely to get much of an audience unless it moves to other platforms.
The Xbox Pavilion will be open to all Con attendees throughout the remainder of Comic-Con this weekend.

A pregnant Beyonce Knowles, wearing a baggy top, is all smiles as she arrives at an office building in New York City. The mom-to-be recently debuted her new music video for her song 'Love On Top', off her latest album "4".
Beyonce looked adorable in a black straw hat and ultra-casual t-shirt and jeans while out in NYC.


Every few years, some newspaper report mentions that x industry is going to be really hot in future and everyone rushes to get a place in one of those courses that they're so sure will make them rich someday. First everyone was trying to get into computing, then at some point everyone wanted to study biomed.
Of course, making your education decisions based solely on hype is a recipe for disaster, or at least an unused degree, as all the former biomed students in banking will tell you. Still, it's worth taking note of some of these degree courses that aren't exactly the most popular ones out there at the moment, but could nonetheless pay great dividends somewhere down the road.
As far back as primary school, I remember people (Chinese teachers mostly) talking about how Chinese was the language of the future, etc. To be honest, while I've never gotten a job for being able to speak passable Mandarin, I have had to use it quite a bit at work when speaking with clients who were more comfortable conversing in the language.
But with China's growth slowing, experts are already looking ahead to the next big thing—Southeast Asia. With Myanmar opening up, Indonesia's new president working to make the country more friendly to foreign investors and a rising middle class in many of the other ASEAN nations, our Southeast Asian neighbours might one day leave us in the dust.
This means that Singaporeans who are fluent in Southeast Asian languages like Bahasa Indonesia or Thai and who are knowledgeable about the ASEAN region will find that their skills increasingly in demand.
Go for it if: You're interested in international business.
If you've ever had a brilliant idea for a mobile app or online business but just didn't have the technical skills to pull it off without having to hire a programmer and/or a designer, you'll know just how useful it is to be handy with a computer.
Now that most of the world's billionaires under 35 who didn't inherit family money are basically tech guys whose startups made it big, there's been a resurgence in interest in coding. It is however worth noting that programming jobs don't pay that well in Singapore compared to many other developed countries as there is still a bit of wage depression in this field (what's new?).
However, with the tech scene growing as fast as a teenage boy, students who dream of starting their own thing or working in the start-up scene will find taking up computing at NUS or computer engineering at NUS or NTU very helpful to them in future, although it will take some effort to keep your coding skills sharp.
Go for it if: You dream of creating your own tech start-up.
Couldn't get into med school? You're not alone, because getting into NUS medicine has always been insanely competitive. Now that NTU has opened Singapore's second medical school, there might be a little more hope… but only if you have perfect grades and a glowing CCA record. Pfft.
Still, with Singapore's population aging faster than a tanning salon addict and the total population still growing, the healthcare industry will continue to be strong. In addition, Singapore is actually pretty huge in pharmaceuticals manufacturing and medical technology. So you won't have to worry about being jobless.
In addition, pharmacists earn above average salaries and get a fair amount of respect, all without having to go through the gruelling training that rookie medical officers are put through. A degree in pharmacy is also a professional degree, which provides more certainty than a general degree like business or arts. To many security-craving Singaporeans, this is a plus.
Go for it if: You want a stable professional job.
What degrees do you think will be useful ten years from now? Let us know in the comments!

Comic Creator José María Cao
José María Cao
Democrito II
(13 December 1862, Spain - 27 January 1918, Argentina)
Pepe il Pistolero
José María Cao, who also signed with Democrito II, is considered one of Argentina's most important caricaturists. Born in Galice, Spain, he was active with ceramics and sculpting from the age of 15. In 1886, he left Spain and settled in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he did lithographies and contributions to the country's most prominent political magazines, such as Don Quichotte. He eventually left that magazine to begin his own paper, El Cid Campeador. He was also art director of La Bomba and an artist for La Nación, Revista Popular and Fray Mocho. Starting in 1898, he contributed to Caras y Caretas. Together with a couple of other artists, he left that magazine in 1912 to begin the art group PBT, for which he worked until his death in 1918.

Elena Delle Donne is not just a basketball player. She also likes making tables. She is the proud owner of a dog named Wrigley, the reigning champion of Complex's Beast Wars bracket. She's built a bed frame with her bare hands! But when you hit free throws at a rate of 94 percent, your woodworking acumen tends to recede from the foreground, even if you continue to post photos of your latest creations on social media. And even if, because you are the kind of grinder who figures you might as well make a business of your hobby, you start selling your furniture on Etsy.
Because here's the thing about that number: it's higher than NBA free throw record-holder Steve Nash or Rick Barry or half-court hustler Steph Curry. It's higher than those of the men she's compared to by well-meaning people who wish to compliment her through analogy to male players: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki. Elene Delle Donne can mess around with framing squares all she wants, but the 90-degree angle that bests basketball pros worldwide is the one she makes with her own arms as she stands at the foul line. Quick dribble, knee bend, smooth unfurling of the right angle: that's the technique that has made her the most accurate free throw shooter in all pro ball. No fat to trim, it would make Frank Bunker Gilbreth proud.
Of course, Delle Donne's free-throw shooting is just one aspect of her game; the reigning WNBA MVP, she may be the most well-rounded player the league has seen in recent history. She's a big who can play post and guard, taking small players inside and staying to the outer perimeter with tall opponents. It's a tactic her father first suggested when she was a kid: combine altitude and attitude, genetics with technical facility, destiny and free will. And it's served her well.
Part of what makes her effective is exactly that zone, which many describe as poise – not arrogance, but the placid confidence of a player who doesn't question the future, seeing it only as a place where intentions become correct outcomes. Somehow, what seems impossible to almost every person in the world feels natural when she's on the court. There's some chess to it, but there's also the instinct developed by routinized tape study and years of making reads.
Pokey Chatman, her coach on the Chicago Sky, says Delle Donne plays with intellect. She means how fluent Delle Donne is in corporeal codes. It's a language Delle Donne, who says verbal communication isn't always the best way to speak, trusts.
This faith she attributes to her older sister Lizzie, who is deafblind, autistic and has cerebral palsy. All her life, Delle Donne has spoken to her sister through hand-over-hand signing, in which the listener gently holds the hands of the speaker in something like a manual dance, words felt on the skin. But sometimes, Delle Donne just observes Lizzie. She likes to watch a smile break on her sister's face when a breeze ruffles by.
Still, the sisters cannot speak outside of each other's physical presences. They need to share space. It's one reason their brother Gene believes that Elena made a midnight getaway from UConn after only two days of classes. Delle Donne has said she needed to find herself outside of basketball. It's difficult for her to explain how she found that woman; all she did was not play basketball. She joined the University of Delaware volleyball team instead, until she decided she had no idea what she was doing (she knows what she likes: family, basketball and dogs) and returned to the court.
Other players might've agonized over passing up the chance to train with UConn's Geno Auriemma, but according to Delle Donne, more even than winning the MVP last year or leading the WNBA in All-Star Game voting during her first season – the first time a rookie has ever done so – her pride is situated in having made a mid-major, University of Delaware, into a name.
Now, her eyes are on Rio. She remembers watching the Olympics as a kid: track and field, volleyball, swimming. It became the dream. After last season, she toured Europe with the USA Women's National Team and she's participated in Olympic training camps, but her place in Brazil wasn't officially assured. Then, earlier this year, she was driving to her practice facility when she got the call from Carol Callan, the Women's National Team Director. She was scared, or maybe relieved. She was also, she was to discover, a member of the Olympic team, alongside the likes of Maya Moore, Diana Taurasi, Angel McCoughtry and Brittney Griner. In the WNBA, these players are her rivals. Now, they'll be her teammates.
It's a statement that could be interpreted as disingenuously Pollyannaish, but it reflects something of the humbleness of the WNBA. The league has fared well in comparison to other women's pro leagues, but its 12 teams still don't get prime coverage. Around half of American players, such as Griner and Taurasi, have played abroad, because WNBA salaries amount to pocket change for their NBA counterparts, while, for example, Griner made 12 times her 2013 WNBA salary playing in China. Delle Donne, with her scoring finesse and squeaky clean image, has supplemented the pay with endorsements, and recently she joined Chris Paul and Demaryius Thomas — not to mention Twitter— as a strategic partner and equity investor in Muzik, an audio tech company soon to release wireless headphones.
The night we spoke, Delle Donne had already done a photo shoot for the company, and after a day of posing, she sounded a little tired. Then again, that could also have something to do with a general weariness with the media. After all the articles that have been written about her, she wonders what's left to write about (she thinks the most interesting aspect of her life is the woodworking thing). Everyone knows that she loves Chicago, even though she must spend six months of the year away from family. Everyone knows about the Lyme Disease she was diagnosed with in college. Everyone knows she wants to lower the rim in women's basketball. At this point, she'd prefer to let her play on the court do the talking – even if she knows that's wishful thinking.
"You didn't study marketing, did you?" I ask.

Archer Season 7: Mission Briefings
A compilation of briefings from season 7.
With season 7's move into the world of private investigation, I wanted the user interfaces to reflect this change, both in style and concept. For the mission briefings, my idea was to create a high tech digital version of the evidence cork boards often seen on police detective shows.
This would break away from the previous style by allowing overlapping content when new evidence was introduced, with previous content receding into the background. The content would be attached to digital 'pushpins', that strictly align to the dots in the background, giving a fresh look of digital precision to the traditionally chaotic TV trope.
Additionally, I devised and implemented a method for fans to download the briefing images from each episode by visiting the URL in the top-left corner of each briefing.
A typical police evidence board, this one from the TV show Arrow.

The Harvest Time Mail-Order Bride
The Weavers. They were boisterous, rambunctious, some would even say wild, and until recently, unwed. First, Arlan, the oldest, got himself a mail-order bride, followed by his younger brother, Benjamin, one of identical twins. Now it was Calvin's turn. But Calvin's mail-order bride was different, really different. For one, she was Italian, an immigrant who spoke broken English. She was also the most beautiful woman Calvin had ever seen. But this vision of loveliness had a not so lovely secret.

Prairie Grooms, Book 3
Eloise was the least adventurous of her sisters, and thought she wanted a life of peaceful serenity alongside a quiet man, one civilized and genteel. But did she know herself well enough to stick to her own assumptions? Seth Jones gave the appearance of a dutiful, yet bumbling hotel clerk, while his brother Ryder was considered the rugged hero, one who'd saved his wife and himself from death. How could Seth compare to that?
Prairie Grooms, Book Two
Constance had an adventurous spirit, but was it adventurous enough to make a life with Ryder Jones? His country speech bordered on barbaric (at least to her) and his isolated way of life out on the prairie scared her to death! Would she ever see her sisters again? How could she possibly adapt to living with such a man?

The only question was, "How?"
A very lovely story
By Shelly on 07-06-16
Someone in Independence is sending off for mail-order brides and they've struck again! This time Julian Smythe is the culprit's latest victim, and naturally, he hasn't a clue. Throw in the antics of Mercy, Martha, Maude, and their newest partner in crime, Mahulda, and you've got enough chaos to drive any mail-order bride crazy. And that's exactly what the four matrons do! Ellie Sampson came to Independence to get married, but no sooner does she get off the stage, than she's snatched up by the four and thrown into the position of a maid in the Vander household! Shocked to discover her husband-to-be had no idea she was coming, she's even more shocked to discover she's falling in love with not only him, but the town as well. But a secret she holds could bring everything tumbling down, and any chance at happiness would be gone in an instant. What should Ellie do?

His Mail-Order Bride Valentine continues the journey of many characters that we have come to know in the Holiday Mail Order Bride series. The characters are entertaining and well developed. The story line is fresh and mingles characters from previous books so you feel like the story continues where it left off. The plot moves along at a good pace. This is a sweet and delightful story that will captivate you and keep your attention from the beginning to the end.
What does Michael Rahhal bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
Michael Rahhal did a fantastic job on the narration. He really brought the characters to life. He did a great job with the different accents, especially the Irish accent. Sometimes his impersonations made me giggle. I had to laugh every single time he said "uhh huh". You can hear the passion in his performance with the concise and clear speech while adding depth to the story.
Kit Morgan is one of my favorite authors. I know that when I pick up one of her books that I won't be disappointed. Even though this is part of a series, each book can be read as a stand-alone. I have read/listened to each book back to back. If you are looking for a good mail order bride series to start, then I recommend to start with the Holiday Mail Order Bride series. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a heartwarming mail order bride romance.

Q: LPC 1768 CAN bus off error I am working with an LPC1768 ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller by NXP (datasheet, user manual). I would like to test the CAN bus peripheral in the self test mode described in the user manual under the section '16.5.8 CAN controller self-tests', but it doesn't work.
I tried these NXP examples described on the NXP knowledgebase and used the NXP example code (can_self_test codes). All pin configurations run OK, and all CAN bus configuration and CAN bus message frames run OK too (controlled one by one). But inside the CAN1_Send func after this step:
CANx->CMR = 0x41;

the error flag is set. Nonetheless, CAN1_Send returns SUCCESS.
In fact, this error status means 'bus off error'. 'bus off error' means there was a frame error and CAN controller error. I test Data frame and CAN controller. It works.
I use an RS-232 cable for connecting CAN1 and CAN2. For self testing, I use CAN1.

A: I'm not familiar with that CAN controller, but that behaviour doesn't surprise me.  If you are performing a standalone test, then although you correctly receive the message you sent, because there are no other nodes on the bus, the message will go unacknowledged.  The controller will retry for a while before entering the error states described in sections 6 and 7 of the CAN spec

A: I had the same problem here using an LPC1788 and the problem was related with a wrong CPU clock setup. I wrongly setup the CPU to operate at 96 MHz and I (also wrong) consider that CPU was running in 100 MHz. In this scenario the CAN baudrate configuration was inconsistent, and the CAN module failed to transmit any message. Then when I fixed the CPU clock configurations the problem was solved.

If the life of your family member is at risk, contact the crisis intervention unit in your region. However, if a unit member is not available and the situation is urgent, you can call the police, as set out in the Act respecting the protection of persons whose mental state presents a danger to themselves or others. For more details, consult the Practical Guide to Mental Health Rights published by the MSSS.
In theory, yes, a person can try to do this. However, the person must undergo in-depth psychiatric examinations performed by experts in the field. These experts are well versed in the signs of manipulation and faked symptoms. Also, even if someone is declared not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder, this person will probably not be released. He or she risks being detained in a hospital. The Commission d'examen des troubles mentaux (CETM) will determine if the defendant poses a danger to the public and, depending on the case, will authorize either continued confinement in a psychiatric institution or conditional or full release depending on the circumstances.
Alcohol and drugs increase the risk of violence in both people with mental disorders and the general population. That being said, people with mental disorders are more likely to have problems with alcohol or drugs, which they use either to self-medicate or maintain social ties or because they are more sensitive to the effects of these substances.
Does the police have other options besides detention when they intervene in the case of a person with a mental health problem?
The police may work with someone from a crisis intervention unit, such as the UPS-J in Montreal. If the person seems to pose a danger to him or herself or other people, the police may accompany the person to a psychiatric emergency department.
They have the right to information, the right to communication, and the right to be transferred to another institution under certain conditions. In the case of preventive confinement, the person has the right to consent to or refuse care. For more details, consult the Practical Guide to Mental Health Rights published by the MSSS.
The institution has the obligation to admit the person as soon as possible and to have the person examined by a doctor. If the doctor who examines the person believes that his or her mental state poses a grave and immediate danger, the doctor must place the individual under preventive confinement for a maximum of 72 hours. The doctor may also release the person if he or she deems that the person does not pose a grave or immediate danger to him or herself or other people. For more details, consult the Practical Guide to Mental Health Rights published by the MSSS.
No. The goal of the Programme d'accompagnement justice - santé mentale (PAJ-SM) is not to relieve a person of responsibility for his or her actions but rather to better meet the needs and problems of the defendant, for example, by providing referrals to mental health resources that correspond to the person's situation.
You can make anything into a mental illness. Criminal behaviour for the moment is not considered a mental illness. In psychiatry we use DSM (the diagnostic and statistical manual for diagnosis); and we talk about Axes 1 and Axes 2. Axes 2 refers to the personality dimension. Sometimes personality characteristics become disorders but that don't necessarily fall into the category of treatable mental illnesses. They're more like "character traits", or a way of being, and some people with certain of those traits can turn to criminality. We do not put them into the same category as the rest of the people we treat. That doesn't mean that somebody who is a criminal cannot suffer from a mental illness, just like anybody else. But criminal behaviour is part of a different category—a different way of looking at things.
Studies show that 90% of people with a mental health problem do not exhibit violent behaviour. In fact, these people are 15 times more likely to be the victim of violence instead of the perpetrator.
First, you must reassure and support the person. You must also remind the person that he or she has the right to be represented by a lawyer, even during questioning. You can also help the person find and contact a lawyer. For more details, consult the Practical Guide to Mental Health Rights published by the MSSS.

An Agassiz chiropractor is donning a mullet these days, and he's itching to be rid of it.
Dr. Darren Paul has dropped his modern, clean cut look for the summer and is growing out his hair in the shaggy style more suited to the 1980s.
As soon as he can raise $1,000, Paul will be cutting his hair and returning to his more professional look. The money will be forwarded to Prostate Cancer Cancer and the Prostate Awareness Foundation. They're calling it "Muly", similar to "Movember" when men grow their beards for the same cause.

When Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) are inspecting the Phoenix spaceship (in fact a prop assembly build around a real Titan II ICBM) after the Borg attack on the launch site, they come under fire by Lily Sloane (Alfre Woodard) who is wielding a Calico M951 submachine gun fitted with a weaponlight and EOTech red dot sight. When he confronts Lily, Data is greeted with a full-auto burst, but is unharmed by the barrage thanks to his robotic nature.

While being pursued by the Borg aboard the Enterprise, Picard and Lily duck into a holodeck running a 1930's-era mystery simulation. Picard promptly confronts several gangsters in the simulation and commandeers an M1928 Thompson from a violin case, using it to mow down the Borg drones chasing them, continuing to fire until he empties the weapon's 50-round drum magazine and then goes to beat them with the butt of the weapon but is stopped by Lily. When Lily asks how a supposedly holographic gun was able to kill living creatures, Picard explains that he had deactivated the holodeck safeguards.

Dawn FM by The Weeknd
Released: 7th January, 2022
About Dawn FM
Dawn FM is an album by The Weeknd. The album was released on Jan 7, 2022. It contains 16 songs.
A Tale By Quincy
Every Angel is Terrifying
Phantom Regret by Jim
Don't Break My Heart
Here We Go… Again (feat. Tyler, The Creator)
Is There Someone Else?
Take My Breath
Less Than Zero
How Do I Make You Love Me?
I Heard You're Married (feat. Lil Wayne)
Abel Tesfaye confirms his status as an all-time great with an album of icy 80s-inflected splendour.
Rating: 100/100
Billed as the successor to 2019's acclaimed After Hours, Abel Tesfaye's fifth studio LP transcends dynamic pop grandeur and flaunts accountability in the face of death.
Dawn FM is his most ambitious album to date, and one that shows welcome signs of emotional and psychological growth.
Less brooding and decadent than usual, his latest is a refreshingly light and accessible listen.
The singer doubles down on pop in his latest album with resounding success.
Dawn FM has enough twists and turns to keep the listener on their toes.
What better balm for the start of another troubled year than our biggest star making music as good as this?
Despite some pacing issues, 'Dawn FM' is a worthy follow-up to 'After Hours'. Whilst it lacks the character and vivacity of its predecessor, 'Dawn FM' develops the latest reinvention of the Weeknd with its dramatic instrumentation and refreshed view of the world.
On Dawn FM, The Weeknd cements himself as a master of the cinematic, and one of the most innovative artists in pop right now. It's stratospheric in size and draped in shadows and mystique—The Weeknd masterfully crafts an album that is simultaneously euphoric and unnerving.
Abel Tesfaye marks a period of reflection with perhaps his most mature, emotionally robust collection yet. Oh, and Jim Carrey narrates it, of course.
Dawn FM is a woozy, psychedelic deep dive inside the artist's famously twisted psyche.
Escapism of the best kind from a pop mastermind.
The Forty-Five
By this point, we know The Weeknd's not an "album artist", and Dawn FM has its highlights. As ever, just add the best bits to your streaming "Weeknd playlist" and there's an apocalyptic soundtrack you can't deny.

Expecting a first child is one of the most exciting times in a woman�s life, and taking basic preventative skin care measures, such as the use of shielding lotions, can help minimize or prevent the effects of common skin disorders resulting from pregnancy-induced changes to her body.
According to the March of Dimes, common skin conditions plaguing a woman during her nine months of gestation range from improved or worsened acne; flare-ups in existing eczema and psoriasis; bluish discoloration or blotchy skin in the legs; bhloasma - the "mask of pregnancy" or melasma - "glowing" skin from increased blood flow and skin oils; itchiness and dry skin; stretch marks; dark line on the belly; changes in fingernail or toenail growth and appearance; puffiness; rashes, red or itchy palms from increases in the hormone estrogen; skin tags, spider veins; and darkening skin.
Skin cleansing. Good skin cleansing is the best way to avoid or treat acne breakouts. Wash your face with a mild cleanser two or three times a day. Don�t wash too often or the skin may become dry, aggravating the problem. A shielding lotion can minimize the loss of moisture and it won�t wash off.
Sun protection. Your skin is more sensitive during pregnancy. Good sun protection is very important at this time. Sunlight can darken pigment changes in your skin and increase your chances of getting "mask of pregnancy." Use a good sun block, cover up, and wear a hat when outside. Limit the time you spend outdoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Make-up. Cover-up and foundation can help hide dark streaks or spots on the skin. Avoid make-ups that contain mercury. Look at the label to see if the make-up contains mercury.
Stretch marks. You won�t be able to avoid stretch marks entirely. It will help if you gain only the recommended amount of weight (usually 25 to 35 pounds), and do so slowly. Using a quality shielding lotion may help the skin retain moisture and stay supple, minimizing the effects. Stretch marks usually fade and become less noticeable after delivery.
Moisturizers. Moisturize your belly and your breasts to reduce itchiness and dry skin. To avoid skin irritation, use an unscented high-quality shielding lotion that won�t wash off and can protect against environmental irritants, like household cleansers and air pollution. Use mild soap when washing. Avoid hot showers or baths. They can dry out the skin.
Excessive heat. Heat can intensify itchiness and rashes. When you go out in warm weather, wear loose-fitting, cotton clothing.

The governor signed the bonding bill and the pension bill this week. Here is more information on both the bills.
Legislators acknowledged that Minnesota needs to keep the promises made to its employees by stabilizing the pension plans. Every year of delay, the cost to the state grows significantly. A clean bill, without any known provisions that could solicit a veto, was sent to the governor, which he signed. On the education side, the employers (school districts) increase to the plan is paid by the state, avoiding passing the cost to the school districts which would have competed with dollars for the classroom. The pension bill was an important success in an otherwise disappointing legislative session.
The bonding bill contains the only new resources for schools. Prepare for the rhetoric that schools will receive millions of dollars for school safety. There is $25 million for school districts to apply for grants up to $500,000 to make enhancements to their schools to increase safety. That would equate to 50 grants, maybe a few more if some districts apply for less than $500,000. Considering Minnesota has 331 school districts, only a small fraction (15%) of districts will receive this funding. Tom Melcher, Finance Director for the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), strongly suggests all districts that would like to apply should be prepared to immediately submit their plans once MDE implements an application process. S ee all items in the bonding bill .
As always, see Brad's Blog for more detailed information on what is happening at the Capitol.
Some committee chairs in the legislature have sent out legislative updates that say special education funding will be reduced by $36 million next year and $41 million the following year adding to the already high cross-subsidies if the supplemental finance omnibus bill is vetoed, which it was. Melcher from MDE clarified the impact on school districts. With MDE's flexibility to make adjustments, the projected shortfall in special education funding is projected at $25 million. Districts will receive about 98.3% of expected special education funding. That number may fluctuate slightly. For the following year, Melcher said the funding adjustment needed could be included in the education finance bill that must be passed in the 2019 Legislative Session.
As all of members of the Minnesota House of Representatives, the Governor, the two Minnesota U.S. Senators and all of the eight Minnesota U.S. Congresspeople are up for reelection in November, prepare for the onslaught of political media. It will be interesting to see who controls the Minnesota House and the Governor's office next year. After all, it is what happens at the St. Paul Capitol that lays the foundation for the quality of education in Minnesota!
This will be the last legislative update from SEE until the 2019 Legislative Session begins in January. Thanks to everyone who stayed engaged and particularly to those that responded to actions alerts. Working together, we can make a difference!
