The UCLA defense claimed its second straight victory over the offense with a clutch stop on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. Running back Jalen Starks tried to pound the ball up the middle, but the No. 2 defensive line didn't budge.
On five drives, each starting from the 25-yard line, the offense scored one touchdown and two field goals. Starks scored the touchdown on a 1-yard rush on third down during the No. 2 offense's first drive. J.J. Molson made field goals from 33 and 35 yards, but missed a 39 yarder.
Emotions ran high during Friday's practice as running back Bolu Olorunfunmi was booted from the field during the second team period. A missed block left Olorunfunmi at the mercy of linebacker Kenny Young, who popped the junior with a big tackle at the goal line during a live tackling team period. Olorunfunmi returned to the sideline fuming. Offensive lineman Sunny Odogwu and running back Nate Starks tried to calm Olorunfunmi down, but running backs coach DeShaun Foster instead just sent his player to the locker room.

Q: How to make Detail Screen from flat list React Native Expo I am trying to open new screen with flat list from Notification. Output like this from Pages Notification (when click the blue, move to another pages).
Here is my notification screen

and this is my detail screen

}

It seems like i got the wrong output on Detail Screen. I want to get output like this without picture.

Is it possible to make Detail Screen like that? Any suggestion that i need to change my View code or wrong render?
Thank you

Taos Ski Valley: Old soul on its way back
|In Ski Resort Taos Ski Valley
|By Lori Knowles
Taos Ski Valley Renaissance. Revitalization. Rebirth.
Taos has seen great change in the last few seasons — a re-polishing that's brought shine back to this New Mexican gem, a lustrous yet intimate 1,200-acre resort situated in New Mexico's Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Taos Ski Valley has always been one of those spots: soulful, mysterious, hidden away, on every skier's list. Its big mountain terrain, surrounding beauty, and 300 days of sunshine are the stuff we strive for. Now, as it emerges from a $300-million renaissance, Taos is re-topping our must-ski lists.
Let's start with what's new—there's a lot. With conservation philanthropist Louis Bacon's purchase in 2014, Taos terrain has been updated and improved. A lift up Kachina Peak takes the "hike" out of reaching one of the world's most iconic sets of ski runs. It also presents a view of the Sangre de Cristos that'll blow your helmet off. But if you're not terribly fond of the steeps, fear not. Taos has abundant intermediate terrain and recently re-shaped Strawberry Hill, a secluded and consistently smooth beginner area made for skiers and snowboarders just learning to turn. A new pulse gondola (La Gondolita!) transports guests between the resort's plaza and its state-of-the-art Children's Center, which now has streamlined check-in services and comfortable places to kick back and watch the kiddos. A new high-speed quad lift at the main base area whisks skiers up in just minutes, ensuring everyone making turns on the mountain more quickly than ever.
Taos Ski Valley New Mexico Skiing Solitude
Back at the base, the Resort Plaza is now anchored by The Blake at Taos Ski Valley, an 80-room hotel and a planned collection of private residences adjacent to Lift 1, only steps from the slopes. Its architecture is a mix of Bavarian and Native American style that pays homage the region as well the resort's European ski roots. But it's the art inside that'll stop you in your tracks: Emily Henry, Geoffrey Gorman, E. Martin Hennings, and iconic ski photos by Dick Durrance. The décor in this "alpine guesthouse" is sophisticated and Southwestern. Its restaurant, 192 at The Blake, is the place for après-ski—craft beer, cocktails, Chef Patrick's signature shared plates—all served by a warm and crackling communal fireplace.
More tasty treats are in the offing in the future for Taos, including an ice rink in the plaza, and, for summer, a via ferrata course and lift-served mountain biking. But at Taos, the future is inspired by the past. And oh… what a past! Taos Ski Valley owes its roots to founder Ernie Blake. He spotted potential for a ski area in the 1950s while flying his Cessna low through the Rockies—Taos is located at their southern edge. In search of a ski slope to develop, Ernie settled on snowy Kachina Basin, situated less than two hours from Santa Fe and about 18 miles from the village of Taos. Ernie and wife Rhoda and their kids lived in an 11-foot trailer (with no electricity!) while they grew their dream. It was Rhoda who was in charge of fitting guests with rental skis… Ernie wasn't as "handy" with mechanical things. The Blakes' determination to create a lasting ski legacy is the thing we love most.
And there's the nut of it—the part that resonates: Those in charge of the renaissance of Taos are trying very hard not to lose its intrinsic intimacy or spoil its ethos. Among their mottos: True and Improved and Growing Better, Not Bigger.
Taos Ski Valley New Mexico Snow covered chiles
Taos Verde is a program that's contributed to Taos Ski Valley's status as the only ski resort in the world to become B-Corp Certified. It's a groundbreaking initiative designed to make business a force for good by requiring certified businesses to have strict economical, social and environmental standards. In addition to its work with the local community creating economical opportunity for the entire region, the ski resort incorporates leading sustainable business practices focused on energy-use and land stewardship, which has led to it reducing its power consumption by nearly 11 percent in two years. Its goal: a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. Also of note: The Blake at Taos Ski Valley now has LEED Silver certification thanks, in part, to geothermal heating and cooling systems.
Wait… let's not forget: The nearby town of Taos is a treasure in itself. Settled a thousand years ago by the Taos Pueblo, it's a community built on a beautiful plateau with snow-capped mountains all around. Locals will tell you Taos is a place where many roads end, including the Santa Fe Trail and the El Camino Real. As a result, it's a true melting pot. Its adobe-style architecture has housed artists such as Mabel Dodge Luhan and Georgia O'Keefe. Author D.H. Lawrence (Lady Chatterley's Lover) lived and worked from a Taos ranch. Today Taos is filled with markets, cafés, galleries, and shops. Its cuisine—tamales, enchiladas, chili rellenos—is delicious and spicy hot. One tip: chili in Taos comes in either red or green; ask your waiter for "Christmas" (both) if you can't decide on one.
So yes… for Taos Ski Valley, renaissance is an excellent term. Taos is a very old soul that's on its way back.

You are here: Home / Save Money / Can you cut the cost of your car insurance?
As drivers it seems that we are constantly having to pay out for something, whether it be fuel, road tax, servicing or general maintenance and the cost of these is only increasing year on year. So it is unsurprising that we will always try and cut these costs where ever we can, for an increasing number of people this might be to not bother with car insurance at all.
In September 2016 the Motor Insurance Bureau stated that there was around one million uninsured drivers on UK roads. If you don't know who the Motor Insurance Bureau are, they make payouts to those that have suffered as a result of accidents caused by uninsured and untraced drivers and is funded by those that pay their insurance premiums like you and me.
As I'm writing this post my renewal notice has been posted through my letterbox. My renewal price has increased ever so slightly from last year. I don't drive a powerful car and due to my age it is still relatively low, even though I have had a couple of minor accidents.
This increase was still not on so as is the norm when I get my renewal notice I went through a number of comparison sites and knowing that I could get the price cheaper elsewhere, which I did. Armed with this information I contacted my insurance company to see if they could beat or better the prices I found. Annoyingly my insurance company couldn't or wouldn't budge on the price. As a consequence of my insurance company's inflexability I ended up moving to a different insurance company with additional services added including breakdown cover and windscreen cover.
So why the increase in insurance premiums?
In an article by Whatcar insurance companies cite three reasons for the increase in the cost of our premiums, these being the cost of repairs, the second is an increase in insurance premium tax and the third being an increase in personal injury claims.
I know a young man that drives a pretty nice car. Last year his insurance was in the region of £500, this year his insurance company has increased his insurance to £1300. When will motorists get a break.
I appreciate that some will say that it is our choice to use our own transport and you should use public transport more. The trouble is public transport in my own opinion, for what it's worth, is not as reliable as we need it to be. After a long day at work do I want to be stuck on public transport sitting next to someone with their music banging through their headphones, stopping at every stop, possibly waiting because they are early, that is if it even turns up or do I want to get into my car, having the option to drive straight home or take a detour to my local M&S.

In Darren Aronofsky's punishing The Wrestler, Mickey Rourke looks like a thousand miles of rough road, and that's when he's having a good day. His face is puffy and lined with the latticework of tiny scars that are the badge of the pro wrestler (never know when you might have to cut yourself with a razor in order to get the blood flowing for the audience). Rourke's body is a battered hulk still roped with muscle but clearly on the verge of giving way; one more serious injury and the whole thing will be quits. Tellingly, "Job" is tattooed on one finger. It's the eyes, though, that really shine with the ruin of his wrecked life.
As Randy "The Ram" Robinson, Rourke is the quintessential has-been. For a glorious period back in the '80s, Robinson was a wrestling star. By the time we catch up with Robinson, however, the days of selling out headlining shows at Madison Square Garden to battle his rival, an Iron Sheik-type villain known as The Ayatollah, are long gone. These days Robinson lives in a broken-down trailer and grinds away on the small-time circuit, wrestling in gymnasiums and rented halls to audiences of a few dozen people eager to see him get whacked over the head with a folding chair or nailed with a staple gun.
Rourke's Robinson has a gentle-giant quality that's almost instantly heartbreaking. Just seeing the worn-out warrior hauling his little rolling suitcase into yet another grimy hall for another penny-ante match says far more than any "I had it all" monologue could. By the time Robinson is forced to work at a deli counter, the film has become a classic weepie, just one with brutally blood-spattered wrestling scenes.
But Robert D. Siegel's screenplay is hell-bent on making the audience pay for its sympathy, inserting constant reminders of why exactly this man fell from grace. When Robinson tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter (Evan Rachel Wood), she stares him down with such withering contempt that lesser men would simply dissolve in shame. For every scene where Robinson maintains a slight edge of happiness in his grey, threadbare, Jersey existence (as in the one where he plays with the neighborhood kids just to have somebody around), there is one where he monumentally screws it all up again.
Fittingly for a film about a man who can't escape the allure of his glorious past, when thousands gasped as he leapt from the turnbuckles, The Wrestler is flooded with pop-cultural detritus, from the ancient video game starring Robinson himself that he keeps in his trailer to the hair metal on constant rotation on the soundtrack and in Robinson's van. (Robinson memorably holds forth in a bar about how much better music was in the '80s, until "that pussy Cobain came along and ruined everything.") Clearly, even the casting of Rourke, who saw his high point come and go in the '80s, is a nod to a bygone time.
Write-ups about the film emphasize how great it is that Rourke was given a shot at a comeback by director Aronofsky. But make no mistake, in the final reckoning it was Rourke who was giving Aronofsky another chance. By putting himself through this tragic meat-grinder of a film, Rourke provides Aronofsky a shot at returning to basics. Remember that this is a director who had only completed one feature since 2000's Requiem for a Dream, and that was The Fountain, a lugubrious ode to trashy mysticism and painful failure that would have derailed lesser director's careers. With The Wrestler, Aronofsky seems to be putting himself through the paces just as much as he supposedly put Rourke through his.
Here, Aronofsky doesn't resort to any of the showoff techniques that made his earlier reputation. Instead, he produced a superbly-acted stripped-down take on a classic sad-sack former champ script that wouldn't have been out of place in '40s Hollywood (only then it would have been about a heavyweight boxer). Aronofsky applies his love of process study -- recall how carefully Requiem investigated the machinations of its addicts looking to score -- to the half-sport, half-art of wrestling. The camera lingers on the wrestlers (many of whom appear to be the real thing) carefully working out their routines before matches, looking like so many steroid-pumped choreographers, before watching them artfully pretend to destroy each other. More than anything, though, Aronofsky studies the manner and method of Robinson's self-destruction with the implacability of an anthropologist; no bad decision, no flinch of shame goes unnoticed.
Between Aronofsky's confident direction the material and Rourke's incomparably brave and wounded performance, by the film's conclusion it's all you can do to continue watching the screen without having to peek through your fingers. It is also hard to shake the feeling that the film is little more than a scrupulously-controlled exercise in humiliation and expurgation, where both artists -- Aronofsky and Rourke -- look to cleanse themselves of past excesses with their tale of transcendent pain.
The Wrestler - Trailer
You might have to go back to Claude Laydu in Bresson's Diary of a Country Priest to see an actor undergoing such exquisite anguish as Will Smith does in Gabriele Muccino's Seven Pounds. There is suffering and there is suffering. And then there is the suffering evinced by Smith in this film, where he seems to not so much be a guy, apparently widowed and trying to make up for something in his past, but some sort of secular martyr, gasping and bleeding his way through the Stations of the Cross. He plays a man who could conceivably look at The Wrestler and think: Hey, his life's not so bad.
A film that will leave some convulsed in tears and others rocking with laughter, Seven Pounds is more suffused with suffering than just about any other Hollywood release in recent memory. It's a morality tale so ludicrous in concept and yet so absolutely surehanded in its delivery that it very nearly makes one a believer that such a thing would be possible. Muccino, directing a portentous script by sitcom scribe Grant Nieporte, has a tough task at hand, with a story that requires such absolute suspension of disbelief that even a momentary relapse into reality would make the whole thing come apart. Fortunately for Muccino, he's got Smith, whom he directed previously in The Pursuit of Happyness and who turns in possibly the best performance of his career.
Like any good religious allegory, Seven Pounds withholds the whole story until the right moment, teasing the audience along with only glimpses at the truth. So while one watches Smith going through the paces as Ben Thomas, Internal Revenue Service agent, it's obvious the whole time that something quite odd is going on. For one, how is he getting away with visiting all these seemingly random people and trying to help them? Does the IRS have a very flexible work-from-home policy? And why are we occasionally shown flashbacks of Ben with a woman who appears to be his wife, and scenes where he's clearly not an IRS agent but an aeronautics engineer?
Ben has a cohort of sorts, Dan -- a friend played with surprising passion by Barry Pepper -- who is providing him with names and background information. There's also a brother (Michael Early) desperate to get back in touch with Ben. But mostly the only thing that we have to go on here in order to explain what's happening is Ben's face, and it's a study in utter agony. On the one hand, he seems to be doing the work of the angels, finding worthy people in bad circumstances and devising intricate ways of assisting; he even finds a sort of love along the way, in the form of the terminally ill beauty played by a soulful Rosario Dawson (also easily doing the best work of her career). But all those good works provide no relief to the inner torment that reads all too clearly on Ben's deadened visage.
Besides spending the film looking as though he were about to collapse in spiritual exhaustion, Smith does an uncanny job here with his smile. Not the beaming, I Want to Buy the World a Coke lighthouse grin that he dazzles audiences with on Oprah, but a flattened and impenetrable thing that recalls the mask-like look he used to great effect in Six Degrees of Separation. It's a smile that doesn't let anybody in.
It would be a lie to say that there isn't something exhilarating in the tear-choked torment of Seven Pounds, not to mention an exhaustive relief when the full extent of Ben's plan comes into view. Much like the religious narratives of sacrifice and worthy suffering that it emulates so well, the film wants to batter and then heal, even if doing so requires an unbelievably complicated series of events that strain credulity to its snapping point. But it would also be a lie to say that there isn't also something shamelessly manipulative in the way the film (skillfully or not) strums each of its heartbreaking chords. If there were a way to do a secular passion play, this would be it.

Open Outreach is designed as a starting point for developing an organizational website. The most straightforward way to use Open Outreach is to install it from scratch. From there, you can selectively migrate in content from other sources, including one or more existing websites. Migrating data here might be as simple as copying and pasting several pages from an old site into the new Open Outreach site. For larger sites, it could involve writing custom migration scripts or using an existing Drupal module like Migrate or Feeds.
If you already have a Drupal website that has a considerable amount of content or a large number of users or has custom functionality you want to keep, you might want to try directly converting the site into an Open Outreach install. Doing so could save you a lot of time in migrating content, but it will also raise a number of challenges and is probably something you should try only if you have the skills needed to do troubleshooting and some custom data work.
Here are basic steps to take to upgrade an existing Drupal site to Open Outreach. These are rough guidelines only. Because each site is configured differently, you're likely to run into additional complexities. But these notes should at least get you started in the right direction.
Back up. Don't work with your current live site. Instead, create a copy of the site and its database and work with the copies.
Update the site to the same Drupal 7 release as is used in the latest Open Outreach version. If your site is in Drupal 6, you'll need to upgrade to Drupal 7. See the drupal.org documentation for detailed upgrade instructions. Here is a synopsis of some of the key steps. Update your site to the latest version of Drupal 6 (core and contributed modules). Before upgrading to Drupal 7, disable and uninstall modules you know you won't be using in the new site. To help determine which modules to uninstall, you could review the list of modules included in the Open Outreach distribution, found in the download in the directory profiles/openoutreach/modules/contrib. If a given module is not in Open Outreach and you don't foresee needing its functionality on your new site, you may choose to uninstall it. Then do an update to Drupal 7 core. Also upgrade any custom (non-core) data that you intend to keep on your new site. At the very least, you'll likely need to migrate Drupal 6 CCK custom fields to Drupal 7 fields.
Download Open Outreach. Download and extract the latest Open Outreach release and copy your existing site's Drupal 7 version settings.php file and files directory to the sites/default directory in the Open Outreach install. This will point the Open Outreach site to your existing site database.
Change your site's 'install_profile' variable to 'openoutreach'. To tell your site that it is using Open Outreach, you need to reset a variable in the 'variable' table. To do so, download and enable the Devel module and then run the following code at devel/php: variable_set('install_profile', 'openoutreach');. Alternately, you can reset the variable by running this command in your database: UPDATE variable SET value = 's:12:"openoutreach"' WHERE name = 'install_profile';.
Run updates. Run update.php to update any contributed modules that were enabled on your existing site and that are also present in Open Outreach.
Enable the Features module and the Open Outreach feature. Enable the Features module at admin/modules. Then navigate to admin/structure/features. Under the "Other" category, enable the Open Outreach feature. If you are prompted about orphaned dependencies, select "Leave enabled".
Adjust the roles on your site. Open Outreach uses three custom roles: contributor, editor, and administrator. If any of these roughly correspond to existing roles on your site, delete the Open Outreach roles and rename the existing ones to use the Open Outreach names. For example, if your site has a role called "site administrator", delete the newly created "administrator" role and rename "site administrator" to "administrator". After adjusting the role names, visit admin/config/people/accounts, ensure the "administrator" role is selected as the "Administrator role", and save the form.
Select and enable the features you want to use. At admin/structure/features, under the "Features" tab, enable features that you wish to use on the site. Recommended: enable the features one by one, so that you can note and respond to any errors. If you are prompted about orphaned dependencies, select "Leave enabled". For more information about these individual features, see the openoutreach.org site. See also the section below on "Assessing and preventing component naming conflicts".
The steps above outline how to get Open Outreach minimally installed on an existing site. But you'll still have a lot of work to do to reconcile your existing site content and structure with what has been created by Open Outreach. Here are a few tips to get you started--but you should begin with the assumption that there will be lots more you'll discover and neec to fix.
Content types and fields. You may have existing content types on your site that overlap with those provided by Open Outreach. For example, if you have an existing content type called 'news', it might have a function very close to that of the 'article' content provided by Debut Article. To begin to use the Debut Article functionality, you could consider converting the existing 'news' content into 'article' content.
Download and install the Node convert module.
At admin/structure/node_convert_templates, create one or more templates for converting your content. Then use the admin/content page to filter for the type of content you are converting from, select the appropriate conversion from the "Update options", and apply.
Blocks and contexts. Open Outreach uses the Context module to position blocks. Your existing site may use the core Block module for this purpose, may use Context or some other tool, or may use a combination of tools for block placement. With Open Outreach blocks displaying as well as those enabled by your existing site, you may get more than you need or want. To address this, selectively disable blocks left over from your existing site. If they were custom blocks, you may wish to delete them.
Open Outreach is built using the Features module, which allows exporting configuration from a Drupal site - content types, fields, views, and so on - into code, so that it can be enabled on multiple sites. For components like content types and fields to be exportable, they need to have a "machine name"--a unique name that will be the same on every site they're enabled on. For example, a date-type field used to store the date of an event might have the machine name field_date.
If Open Outreach is installed from scratch, we can be sure that the components we're creating won't conflict with existing components on the site. But when we're converting an existing site into an Open Outreach one, there's the potential that a component we're creating has the same name as one that already exists on the site. In certain cases, such a conflict can cause a site error that's difficult to resolve.
The particular issue to watch out for is: the site already has a field with the same name as a field that will be created by Open Outreach and the existing field is of a different type than the Open Outreach one. Drupal is unable to change the type of an existing field, so this situation will trigger an error.
At admin/structure/features, click the "Rebuild" link for the feature you're looking at. Look for any fields listed under a heading "Fields". The names here are of field "instances"--the version of a field that's applied to a particular content type. What we're concerned with is the actual field name, which is the part at the end beginning 'field_'.
Ensure the Fields UI module is enabled. At admin/structure/types, click the "Manage fields" link for a content type and look for fields with the same name as one of the fields in the feature. If you find one, you have the potential for a conflict--an error will occur if the field types are different.
Upgrading an existing site to use Open Outreach is more work than just starting fresh. It takes some planning and the willingness to work through some potential challenges.
If you're up for a few bumps, though, upgrading an existing nonprofit site to Open Outreach can get you the benefit of keeping your existing content and users while quickly ramping on a lot of great new functionality.


The chief minister said that police should have seized all licensed weapons from people in the area before going ahead with the demolition drive.
Shimla: Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Friday admitted lapses in the demolition drive in Kasauli during which assistant town and country planner Shail Bala Sharma was shot dead by a hotelier.
"The government has taken all possible steps after the firing. The accused has been arrested, ex-gratia grant of Rs 5 lakh has been announced for the family of the woman officer and her family would get full salary as drawn by her for the remaining period of service. A status report will be submitted in the Supreme Court on May 9," he said during an informal chat with a group of mediapersons.
The government has already instituted an inquiry into the lapses to be conducted by the Divisional Commissioner of Shimla. The Solan Superintendent of Police and the Parwanoo Deputy Superintendent of Police have been transferred and two station house officers concerned have been sent police lines, he added.
Ms Sharma was killed by Vijay Singh, the owner of Narayani Guest House, when she was leading a Supreme Court-mandated demolition drive against illegal structures on Tuesday.
Singh was arrested from the Mathura-Vrindavan area yesterday.
The Himachal Pradesh Police said today that the weapon used to kill the assistant town and country planner had been recovered. "The .32 bore revolver used in the crime by Vijay Singh was recovered today," Solan officiating Superintendent of Police (SP) Shiv Kumar told reporters.
He said that the accused had hidden his licensed pistol in the forest area near his Narayani guest house.
The chief minister assured that the government would implement the orders of the Supreme Court and the National Green Tribunal regarding demolition of illegal constructions and removal of encroachments in letter and spirit and no laxity on this account would be allowed.
He said that the government had also decided to confer Himachal Gaurav Award on the woman officer posthumously.
The chief minister also called on the governor and briefed him, while state police chief S R Mardi met the governor to apprise him about the incident.

GAUTREAU, Pierre y LEZAMA, Felipe. Floristic classification of woodlands and shrublands of the Uruguayan sierras. Ecol. austral [online]. 2009, vol.19, n.2, pp.81-92. ISSN 1667-782X.
The woodland ecosystems of Uruguay have been only described physiognomically, and the controls of their heterogeneity are still poorly understood. The aim of this paper is to describe the variations in species composition of the woody vegetation of the Eastern and Northeastern hills of Uruguay. In three selected areas under extensive cattle grazing, 122 vegetation samples were collected. We identified five main vegetation units: Myrceugenia euosma and Baccharis dracunculifolia shrublands, Syagrus romanzoffiana woods, Myrsine coriacea woods and Eugenia uniflora woods. Correspondence analysis was carried out to describe floristic gradients. The first axis showed a physiognomic gradient from shrub to wood formations, partly determined by water availability linked to soil depth, a factor related to geomorphology, while the second axis revealed differences among communities related to geology. It is the first floristic classification of the woody vegetation in Uruguay, and it proves that, despite the great structural uniformity, the woody vegetation of these hills is floristically heterogenous. Little importance has been given to the geological and edaphic factors responsible for the woods variation in the past, and no descriptions of the shrublands existed. The classification proposed constitutes an alternative to the physiognomic typology used in Uruguay to describe woody vegetation. It shows the limitations of this typology, offers new categories that allow for comparisons with Southern Brazil communities, and provides useful information for designing regional conservation strategies.
Palabras clave : Woody vegetation; Environmental gradient; Río de la Plata fields.

this is my FIRST blog post with my new camera! It's the Nikon D5100 and I really love the quality, it also has a lot of effects and even though it looks like a difficult camera to work with, they explained it very well in the user guide. The only thing I dislike about it, is that when it's a little bit dark or you don't use natural light, the quality reduces immediately. But even though I really like it!
Now I'm going to talk about my storage, my beauty products storage, I'm going to show you some of my essentials and where and how I store it. So I don't own a lot of makeup, that's why I'm taking you guys on my adventure where we discover and try new makeup/beauty products. One of the reasons I don't own a lot of makeup is because I'm 16, so I'm still very young and I don't want to cover my whole face and put all things on it, I still want it to 'rest' a little bit until I'm older. The second reason is because I don't get a lot money. I get pocket money so that's the only money I can spend, my other money is on the bank because I also want to save money. With that pocket money I need to pay my phone bills and I need to buy clothes and then I don't have a lot money left to buy makeup. So no, I don't own lots of makeup like those big bloggers like Zoe(lla), Tanya Burr, Lauren Conrad. I just want you guys to come with me on our little adventure.
So this is how I storage my beauty products, these are some things I use everyday, I still have some bits and bobs on different places but these are some things I use daily.
So this is my makeup I use pretty much. That's why it is in a little pot so I can grab some things out of it when I'm getting ready.
Big stuff like deodorant, makeup-remover,.. I just put on my desk like this.
Then I bought this little storage box where I put my perfume, nail polishes, handcremes, and other small things. You can buy this pretty much everywhere, I bought this in a drugstore shop (For dutch people: Blokker) but there are also really pretty storage stuff at Ikea.
Then I also put some other things in small boxes, these are just boxes that I got for a birthday or just with a product so I just put some other things in it.
I really hope you guys enjoyed it and I hope you're having a lovely day!
Hé, heb gezien dat je me volgt op bloglovin', en ben dus ook zelf nieuw voor je blog. Bedankt ;) heb je terug gevolgd!
Ben veel aan het experimenteren met de camera! Het gaat tot nu toe redelijk goed en probeer veel verschillende dingen uit.
Heel erg bedankt! Ja, ik vind jou blog ook heel leuk!

UNITE CUBESAT
Undergraduate Nano Ionospheric Temperature Explorer
UNITE CubeSat Project
On the morning of January 31, 2019, the University of Southern Indiana's first student-built spacecraft was shot out of the International Space Station 250 miles above the south Atlantic. Fifty-five minutes later it "phoned home," and has been transmitting data ever since.
Plasma measurements will be taken a year from now when the altitude of the spacecraft's orbit falls below 200 miles, but temperature data was taken right away, and some preliminary analysis has been done by the students.
"The internal temperatures of UNITE have been ranging between 50 degrees and – 2 degrees Fahrenheit," explained Dr. Glen Kissel, Associate Professor of Engineering at USI, and faculty advisor for the UNITE project.
"On the outer surfaces UNITE is sensing temperature swings from about 120 degrees to as low as -75 degrees Fahrenheit," Kissel continued.
The UNITE spacecraft circles the Earth every 93 minutes, and during a portion of that time the spacecraft is in the Earth's shadow, but for just over half the orbit it experiences direct heat from the sun without any atmosphere to protect it.
A year ago, the USI students tested UNITE in a vacuum chamber at Morehead State University in Morehead, Kentucky, but they weren't able to simulate the lower end of expected orbital temperatures in that chamber. In fact the thermal model wasn't even predicting such cold temperatures. "We are pleased the spacecraft is holding up so well in the cold of space," Dr. Kissel added.
On December 5, the UNITE spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of the cargo headed to the International Space Station.
Since its deployment at the end of January, UNITE has functioned as expected and is awaiting its primary mission in early 2020.

Q: Solutions of four linear differential equations I have a set of four differential equations represented by the following matrix equation:
x1'[t] == (-p + I q)*x1[t] + I*m*x3[t];
x2'[t] == (-p + I q)*x2[t] + I*m*x4[t];
x3'[t] == (r + I s)*x3[t] + I*m*x1[t];
x4'[t] == (r + I s)*x4[t] + I*m*x2[t];

Here $p$, $q$, $r$, $s$ and $m$ are reals. How can I solve this system? Given that $x_1(0)=1, x_2(0)=0,x_3(0)=1,x_4(0)=0.$

A: Use the help and type the keywords of the task you have. Then read the documentation. DSolve should become apparent as a possible avenue to explore. Notice the syntax and the examples. Reproduce the examples but using your own equations.

Benefits of Reduced Meat Consumption – Our Health and Our Planet's Health
April 4, 2016 Notes from the farm
Between now and 2050, a global switch to diets that rely far less on meat and far more on vegetables, fruits, and other plant foods could not only save up to 8 million lives per year, and reduce food-related greenhouse gas emissions by two-thirds. Such a change would also save, in reduced health care costs and reduced costs from climate change, up to $31 trillion.
Does that sound like the wild-eyed claim made by some group with a vegetarian agenda? It's actually the conclusions of a major new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last week.
The researchers looked at the environmental, health, and economic impacts of various food pathways. They modeled four different dietary scenarios for the year 2050:
A "business as usual" scenario based on projections of future diets;
A scenario based on global dietary guidelines, which includes meeting the minimum suggested level of fruits and vegetables, and limits to the amount of red meat, sugar, and total calories;
A vegetarian scenario, which conformed to the dietary guidelines; and
A vegan scenario, which also conformed to the dietary guidelines.
Their conclusion was that, compared with the "business as usual" scenario, transitioning toward more plant-based diets could reduce global mortality by 6–10% and food-related greenhouse gas emissions by up to 70%.
They found that compared to the "business as usual" direction, scenario two, in which global dietary guidelines were adopted, could prevent 5.1 million deaths per year. When people followed dietary guidelines and also went vegetarian, the researchers found that 7.3 million deaths could be avoided annually. And a guideline following vegan pathway could prevent 8.1 million deaths per year.
Approximately half of the avoided deaths were due to a reduction in red meat consumption. While the other half were due to a combination of eating more fruits and vegetables, combined with a reduction in total calories, leading to fewer people being overweight or obese.
And the financial savings the researchers calculated were simply stunning. The models developed by this team of researchers found that changes in diet could lead to enormous savings both in healthcare and in reduced damage from climate change.
This was hardly the first serious study to suggest that we might be better off eating less red meat. In fact, in 2015, after careful review of more than 800 medical studies, the World Health Organization concluded that processed meat causes cancer and that red meat probably does, as well. And a 2013 study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that vegetarians outlive meat eaters considerably. Over the course of the 6-year study, among a group of 70,000 participants, researchers determined that vegetarians had a 12% lower risk of death compared with non-vegetarians.
But what made the just-released Oxford Martin School study unique was its comprehensive approach — looking at the health, environmental, and economic impact of various dietary approaches.
You don't even have to be a vegetarian to take advantage of this studies' findings. Every time you choose vegetables over hot dogs, or beans over burgers, you are helping to stabilize the world's climate, and to improve the prospects for your long-term health.
Life is often filled with trade-offs, and choices that seem to come down to the lesser of two evils. But when it comes to moving in a plant-strong direction, the benefits are clear.
Seabreeze Organic Farm is here to help you change to a plant-based diet


I have a day care here in Charlevoix and I am always looking for ways to teach new things to the kids — especially in the summer months with the older children not in school. The Charlevoix Circle of Arts hosted an art class with two very talented ladies, Alla Johnson and Jeanie Putman, teaching art concepts. Unfortunately, I did not learn of it until later in the summer, but when I did, I sent several of my kids to it. They enjoyed it very much. They learned a lot and came home with very nice pieces of art.
These ladies did not ask for pay, yet they spent two precious hours teaching children how to create art. I want to say thank you to them and the Circle of Arts for giving their time and energy to the community. What a blessing!

As part of our Blended Family Friday series, each week we spotlight stepfamilies to learn how they've worked to bring their kids together. Our hope is that by telling their stories, we'll bring you closer to blended family bliss in your own life! Want to share your story? Email us at divorce@huffingtonpost.com.
As a child of divorce, Jamie Scrimgeour remembers all too well how difficult it was when her parents started dating other people. So when she began to date a man with children from a previous marriage, she tread lightly when she met the kids.
"All the little things that my dad's girlfriend did that bothered me were at the forefront of my mind when I met Darren's family," Jamie told HuffPost recently. "Things like sitting in my spot at the kitchen table or just being too affectionate with my dad when I was around. It was all harmless from her perspective, but I remember how angry it made me feel. I just wasn't ready."
Keeping those memories in mind has helped Jamie gain her stepkids' trust. Below, the certifed stepfamily coach, who blogs at Poptart Diaries, shares more of her blended family's story.
Hi Jamie! Please introduce us to your family.
There are six of us. My husband Darren has a daughter and two sons, ages 13, 11 and 8, and together we have a daughter, Reese, who is a year and a half old.
Darren and I have known each other our whole lives. In March 2013, our paths crossed at the right time and we have been together ever since. We dated only 15 months before tying the knot in June 2014.
You mentioned that you're a child of divorce yourself. How does that inform your approach to step-parenting?
Growing up I was so angry about the divorce. Even though I tried, I wasn't welcoming to anyone my dad tried to bring into our lives. Now, years later, I can see that was more about me and my anger toward the situation than it was about them.
It's definitely influenced me as a stepmom. Before I committed to meeting Darren's kids, I had to be sure I was in love with him. The way I looked at it, the kids didn't need more turmoil in their lives and having another woman come in, and then possibly out, wasn't something I was willing to put them through.
I made a huge effort to always put myself in their shoes, respecting their routines, traditions and the change they'd gone through. I didn't want them to think another woman was coming into their lives with guns blazing! I wanted them to look at me more as someone they could have fun and make memories with.
I worked on developing a strong relationship with them before trying to be any kind of "parental" figure. I always try to remember that they did not sign up for any of this, including another parent telling them what to do!
What were some of the biggest challenges you faced while adjusting to life as a stepmom?
I've often referred to the transition from being a bachelorette to stepmom as being similar to moving to another country where people speak a different language. I was used to a quiet and relatively neat and tidy way of living, and well, quiet and tidy isn't exactly how you'd describe a household with three young kids!
We've all had to accommodate each other from time to time. Darren and the kids have learned to appreciate my need for quiet and space and I have learned to appreciate the sound of children playing and embrace the mess and chaos that comes with this new life! It's taken time and a lot of open communication about our needs, but we're all finally on the same page… most of the time!
If you would have told me five years ago that I would be a stepmom to three children and married to a man with an ex-wife, I would have said you were absolutely insane. But our blended family has taught me more about love and happiness and what's truly important in life than I will ever be able to put into words.
Our ability to wake up and start every day fresh. Things haven't been terribly challenging for us, but they have't been extremely easy either. There have been periods of adjustment for everyone and times when the stress of being in a blended family didn't bring out our best characteristics. What I love is that we are so forgiving of each other and recognize that we're all just human beings doing the best we can.
What advice do you have for other blended families who are struggling to make it work?
No one family situation is the same but if I had to name one thing that can be a complete game changer, I would say it's empathy. The ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes and look at things from their perspective can change everything and I know this from experience. It can change your reactions to things and your beliefs about an entire situation. Empathy goes a long way!

Russia, Kazakhstan pushing for oil production increases on the back of coronavirus vaccine-fuelled oil price optimism
Russia's production of oil and gas condensate dropped by 8.6% to 512,680,000 tonnes in 2020, as part of harsher OPEC+ cuts to prop up prices
FSUOGM - Former Soviet Union Oil & Gas
Ben Aris in Berlin 8 January 2021
Russia and Kazakhstan have won a concession from OPEC to increase production in the coming months at the expense of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which remains concerned that the second wave of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic will depress demand in 2021.
OPEC+ has agreed to modestly increase output in January, revising its original schedule of quota relaxations at a members meeting in Vienna in the first week of January. The alliance of oil producers will boost production by 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) next month.
The decision represents a compromise between OPEC+'s two blocs. OPEC, led by Saudi Arabia, wanted to scrap plans for a 2mn bpd relaxation and keep output levels unchanged.
Russia leads the associated block that would like to see production increased as prices recover somewhat on the back of a nascent economic recovery and the positive COVID-19 vaccine news.
Oil markets have cheered the news of a deal between the parties. While the decision to boost output will increase supply on the global market, it left traders bullish about the strength of the OPEC+ alliance.
The combined OPEC+ group of oil producers has agreed to allow Kazakhstan to raise its oil output levels by 10,000 bpd in February and March as part of a larger agreement struck on January 5 to roll over existing oil output levels into February. The decision similarly has allowed Russia to raise its output by 65,000 bpd. The agreement includes Saudi Arabia voluntarily cutting production below its quota. OPEC+ includes the 13 members of the Saudi-dominated OPEC cartel and 10 allied oil-producing nations led by Russia.
Saudi has resisted the idea of boosting oil output in February by another 500,000 bpd.
Moscow is concerned about the falling level of oil production and the impact that this has on its budget revenues. Having cut the breakeven price of oil, it needs to balance the budget to around $40. Russia can bear lower prices and is keen to make up what it loses from low prices by gaining from more production.
The average Urals oil price plummeted by 34.38% year on year in 2020 to $41.73 per barrel, the Russian Ministry of Finance said in the first week of January.
Russia's production of oil and gas condensate dropped by 8.6% to 512,680,000 tonnes in 2020, according to data from the Central Dispatching Department of the Fuel and Energy Sector.
Russia's oil exports fell by 12.7% to 232,500,000 tonnes in 2020, while domestic oil supply was down by 5.2% at 274,900,000 tonnes. The country's gasoline production dropped by 4.5% to 38,412,000 in 2020 amid a decline in global energy demand due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Volatility in the oil market in 2021 will decrease and oil demand will grow by 3-5mn bpd. Nevertheless, it will not reach the pre-crisis level, which was higher by 6-7mn bpd against the level of 2020, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in an interview with Rossiya 24 TV channel this week.
"We expect that demand will recover during 2021. As you know, it is still below the pre-crisis level by about 6-7mn barrels per day. During 2021, there will be 3-5mn barrels of demand growth," he said.
In an effort to keep the OPEC+ group together Saudi Arabia has offered voluntarily to cut production by 1mn bpd during the next two months to accommodate Russia and Kazakhstan, while all other members will keep their output steady.
The agreement led to a rally in oil prices, with Brent crude climbing 5% to $53.65 on the news.
The latest agreement would reduce the group's total output cut to about 7mn bpd.
OPEC+ will meet again in March to discuss April output.


A number of respiratory and drug therapies can be given to provide relief to the patient, so instead of losing hope, fight the disease. There is no defacto end stage to this COPD disease. This is a derogatory term coined by doctors, it not only demotivates patients and also causes useless agony and stress within patients. End stage is in your hands, it is dependent on your attitude. End stage is when you quit on your life, family and friends. When you lose hope in the treatment and other measures to battle the disease.
So don't lose hope if you are diagnosed of COPD, as blue bloater and pink puffer, instead adopt a healthy lifestyle and with proper medical help and treatment you can surely improve your quality of life. No one can state a death date in advance, but what you can do is improve your quality of life with the right attitude and care.
You can also take some preventive measures to overcome and lessen the problem associated with this disease. You can avoid contaminated air and wear a mask when sitting or when walking on the street. Use oxygen when required and always stay in touch with your doctor and update him/her about your conditions. Also get flu shots to reduce the possibility of getting influenza or severe cough as this can aggravate your condition. Also avoid the company of people who smoke, never take smoking seats in the restaurant even if you have to wait.
You might face shortness of breath and might have to be hospitalized and kept on ventilators and given constant oxygen, but don't let this dishearten you, as you have to fight it out. Death is the most inevitable and predictable thing in life but when will it happen no one knows, so if you have COPD, live with it, battle it and control it to whatever extent possible, don't lose hope.
When you are encountered with the fact that you have COPD, the first thing that you have to do is stay calm and look for treatment options instead of losing hope and getting depressed. The fact that this disease is diagnosed in mid life should not cause you to give up on the life that you have ahead. One can practice various breathing methods along with the conventional medication to ease off your stress and lungs. You can join a support group or COPD blog to discuss your life with other COPD patients and get motivated from them.


Bene Rohlmann is a Berlin based illustrator. His work has appeared in exhibitions throughout Europe and the United States, and his clients feature The New York Times, Converse, and Mercedes Benz amongst others.
Hi Bene! Thanks for taking the time to talk to us about your work. Could you tell us a bit about yourself and what you do?
Hi, my name is Bene Rohlmann and I'm an illustrator and artists based in Berlin. Since receiving my diploma in illustration in 2012, I've been working full time as an illustrator. I'm focusing mainly on editorial illustration, but I've also made t-shirt designs, record covers and whatever sounds like a fun project. Since last year I'm also trying harder to get into more gallery shows, because I love creating personal work and showing it in a place other than the internet. The fact, that I can also earn extra money with it, makes it even better.
Tell us about your creative process, from the initial idea to the finished piece.
Ideas for illustrations, especially for personal works, usually just pop into my head. When that happens, I make a quick thumbnail sketch or just write it down in my sketchbook. Then I usually sketch it out in Photoshop till it looks right to me, print it out and create the actual pencil drawing by using a light pad. I also make entirely digital drawings, but I do that mostly for illustration jobs.
I really like that I don't have to think about colors and I can focus on the actual image, but I can still give it depth and kind of a 'greyscale coloring'. A line drawn with pencil is also so alive and can have a lot of character/personality.
But what I appreciate most about a pencil is, that it does what I want it to do. I can control it. There's no accidental spilling for example, like it happens with ink or watercolors sometimes.
Definitely mechanical. It ensures a steady stroke width.
I enjoy collage a lot!
I prefer working in smaller scales. My drawings are usually not bigger than 20×30 cm.
I especially love drawing skulls, moths & butterflies, plants of any kind and toys and I can't really explain why. Maybe because for all of those things there are endless possibilities and variations. You can create skulls out of so many different structures and materials, moths can have a million different patterns, plants can go totally crazy and toys can be whatever I like them to be.
What kind of things do you think have influenced and inspired your vision the most?
A lot of my inspiration comes from the cartoons I used to watch and the comics I used to read as a kid, but also the toys I played with during my childhood. I was so much into all of these things and I have so many good memories of these times, where I would totally dive into these cartoon worlds or the ones that I created on my own, while playing with my Lego, action figures etc. What also keeps inspiring me are all these vintage things like tattoo designs, advertising, typography, fashion, hairstyles, matchbox labels and old encyclopedia illustrations.
One of my favorite pieces and at the same time favorite illustration jobs so far has been a cover for a mixtape by Mercedes Benz. The great thing about it was, that I could work in one of my favorite techniques (a mix of pencil drawing and cut out pieces of old comics and encyclopedias), they gave me almost total artistic freedom (except for the theme of the sampler, that I kind of had to stick to) and then it was also paid well. I would easily call this one a dream job.
The first time I remember myself illustrating something must have been as a child, somewhat between 5 and 6 years old. My grandfather often read fairy tales to me and my sisters and – inspired by those stories – we've spent hours and hours at my grandparents kitchen table, drawing scenes and characters from those fairy tales. Those were good and happy times!
Yes, I do. But I don't use it often enough anymore. I would like to get back to taking it everywhere and drawing in it every day. I'm trying to achieve that at the moment and I'm slowly getting back there.
I just want to get better in my work, experiment a lot, get my work into more publications and exhibitions and do lots of other exciting projects.
Lots of coffee, zero nicotine and booze from time to time.
I'm currently working on a piece for a group show, a t-shirt illustration, a record cover and several digital collages for a newspaper. This is exactly where I want to keep going: in lots of different directions to keep my work as exciting and diversified as possible.
