NIH: NIH Outstanding New Environmental Scientist Award
An essential element of the mission of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is the support and career promotion of the next generation of exceptionally talented and creative new scientists who will further the understanding of the impact of environmental exposures on human health. The NIEHS supports a number of training and fellowship programs for pre and postdoctoral training, and mentored career development awards for faculty in the early stages of their career development. Along with these training and career development programs, NIEHS initiated a program of research grants for Early Stage Investigators, The Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) Award, that is designed to identify the best new biomedical investigators across the spectrum of science supported by the NIEHS (i.e., including basic mechanistic, clinical and population based researchers) and facilitate their establishing a vibrant, independent research program in the environmental health sciences. NIEHS uses this FOA to support the NIEHS goal of assuring a continuing cadre of productive environmental health science investigators.
One application per School or College within a University will be accepted
For most applications, the budget for direct costs should be limited to $250,000 per year, plus the portion of the additional $250,000 budget for career enhancement which will be distributed over a 5-year award period. Note: the $250,000 career enhancement budget will be distributed over a 5-year period but does not have to be distributed evenly across each year. With strong justification, research projects which have inherently higher costs may request direct costs of up to $400,000 per year, plus career enhancement. In no year may the total direct cost budget (research plus career enhancement) exceed $475,000 per year.
Any individual(s) with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s) (PD(s)/PI(s)) is invited to work with his/her organization to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support.
To be eligible for this award, applicants must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent graduate degree.
PD(s)/PI(s) must be NIH defined Early Stage Investigators. See http://grants.nih.gov/grants/new_investigators/index.htm
In addition, PD/PI's must have faculty appointments which are tenure track or equivalent, generally at the level of Assistant Professor, Research Assistant Professor, and have demonstrated outstanding abilities in basic, clinical or population-based research. Individuals must have established research independence from a mentor, and have dedicated, independent laboratory space or access to the clinical, population-based and/or public health research resources which will allow them to conduct the research proposed in the grant application as the lead, independent PD/PI.

Is pneumonia contagious? It most certainly can be. Pneumonia (1) is a condition in which lung tissue becomes inflamed due to a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection and the alveoli (air sacs) fill with pus or fluid, making it difficult to breathe.
Sometimes, pneumonia is also caused by inhaling toxic fumes which damage the lungs.
How long is pneumonia contagious? It depends on the source and how severe it is. The severity of pneumonia can range from mild to life-threatening, and the latter is especially true for those over 65. How severe it depends on what caused the inflammation, plus your age and overall health are also factors.
The more frail you are, the harder it will be to combat the illness, plus your chances of getting it again, often after a cold or flu, are higher.
In 2015, according to the World Health Organization, pneumonia accounted for 15% (about 922,000) of all deaths in children, globally.
The first line of treatment for pneumonia is a course of antibiotics, and the length of that treatment depends on the severity of the illness. Immunization, a healthy environment, and proper nutrition can all help prevent the onset of pneumonia.
How Long Is Pneumonia Contagious after Antibiotics Treatment?
Do Antibiotics Work for Pneumonia?
Pneumonia: A Risk Factor for Pyogenic Liver Abscess?
Is pneumonia contagious in adults? Just like colds and the flu, pneumonia can be contagious by spreading droplets of infectious liquid into the environment, e.g., through coughing or tactile transmission.
It's difficult to pinpoint exactly when pneumonia becomes contagious, because it depends on what caused it, so it could be anywhere from two days to two weeks following exposure to the pathogen.
Generally speaking, most cases of pneumonia are less contagious about 24 to 48 hours after antibiotics have been introduced.
In viral cases of pneumonia, the risk for spreading can go down once symptoms have begun to recede. But even if the fever has disappeared for two days, it's still possible for symptoms to spread, so be careful. Basically, it's a good idea to steer clear of people who have pneumonia; and if you've got pneumonia, then stay away from people and public places while you're fighting it off.
Pneumonia is contagious in babies as it is in adults, but there is a preventative measure mothers can employ that will help: breastfeeding. Breastfeeding allows the mother to pass on antigens to her baby in breastmilk, and these will help fight off bacteria and viruses by inducing a positive immune response in the baby.
Babies usually get a milder form of pneumonia called "walking pneumonia." We will explore this further, below.
The contagious period for pneumonia depends on how soon you start treatment. As noted above, you may still be contagious for about 24 to 48 hours after starting a course of antibiotics. That said, certain bacterial infections may leave you contagious after more than two weeks of antibiotic treatment.
It's important to complete the entire course of antibiotics with no days missed—if not, you might still have some pathogens lingering, which could start up the infection again and make you contagious again.
Many people walk around with the illness without knowing it, and the best way to prevent spreading it to others is to start a treatment of antibiotics as soon as possible.
If, after a cold or flu, you notice that your symptoms haven't disappeared or subsided in a week's time, be sure to visit the doctor to be tested for pneumonia. Many people walk around with the illness without knowing it, and the best way to prevent spreading it to others is to start a treatment of antibiotics as soon as possible.
If you really want to play it safe for the sake of those around you, you could always act as though you're contagious for up to two weeks afterward by refraining from contact, covering your nose and mouth if you sneeze, and washing your hands frequently.
Depending on the source and severity of your pneumonia, you could be subjected to one of two common treatments. And although antibiotics are always thought of as the go-to treatment for pneumonia, they aren't always effective.
There are two major types of pneumonia: bacterial and viral. If you've been infected by a bacterial strain, you'll likely be treated effectively with a cycle of antibiotics. Again, it's important to complete the entire course of the prescription even if you feel better. Bacteria can linger without any symptoms and can proliferate if the cycle is not completed.
In cases of viral pneumonia, however, antibiotics won't work. Doctors will prescribe an antiviral drug to treat these cases, and it should cure the condition in roughly one to three weeks. You can aid the medication by drinking plenty of fluids and getting rest.
There are different types of pneumonia that require different treatments, have varying durations, and can pose unique threats.
Bacterial pneumonia: A bacterial infection of the lungs, this type of pneumonia is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. The infection impacts the lungs by filling air sacs with fluid, leading to inflammation. Because bacteria must be killed for health to be restored, antibiotics are the preferred treatment.
Walking pneumonia: This non-medical term is used to describe mild cases of pneumonia. Treatment depends on the origin, but it can usually be treated with over-the-counter medications, as well as plenty rest and fluid consumption. The symptoms are essentially a lighter version of pneumonia—perhaps feeling like a bad cold.
Viral pneumonia: This happens when your lungs are infected by a virus like influenza, rhinovirus, coronavirus, or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). These account for about 30% of the total pneumonia cases in the U.S. and will be treated with antiviral medication. The infection is highly contagious and can spread quickly.
Fungal pneumonia: A very dangerous variety of pneumonia caused by a fungal infection in the lungs, it is relatively common in the southwestern U.S. Fungal pneumonia has very strong symptoms, and hospitalization is required for more than 40% of diagnosed cases. Exposure to endemic fungus is a major risk factor, and it is not contagious.
Aspiration pneumonia: If food, drink, vomit, or saliva is inhaled into the lungs, it can lead to an infection. It is more likely to occur in individuals who have regular disruptions with normal gag reflexes. Brain injuries, swallowing problems, and excessive drug or alcohol use are risk factors. Healthy lungs will clear up on their own.
Pain in the chest when you breathe in or cough.
In some cases anemia, an ear infection, and a skin rash can develop.
It's typical for these symptoms to appear about three days to a week after flu-like symptoms develop. If any of the above are accompanied by flu-like symptoms, see your doctor so that you can rule out pneumonia.
If it turns out that you do have pneumonia, it's better to catch it earlier than later. Remember, pneumonia can land you in the hospital, so don't delay in seeing your doctor.
A pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a pocket of pus forming on the liver resulting from a bacterial infection. It can lead to severe illness and death, and a June 2017 study indicates that pneumonia may be an independent risk factor. The study showed a close association between PLA and patients who were hospitalized for bacterial pneumonia for 30 to 180 days.
Because PLA is the result of bacteria exposure in the liver and a compromised immune system significantly boosts the likelihood of bacteria spreading, it seems to make sense that these conditions are closely associated. It's not uncommon for pneumonia survivors to acquire additional bacterial infections after initial treatment because of their weakened immune system.
Although antibiotic treatment is required to kill bacterial pneumonia, it also leaves your immune system unprepared to deal with invaders in the period shortly following treatment. The immune system needs to repopulate itself with helpful bacteria, and until that happens, there is an increased risk for further infections like PLA.
Research has indicated that in Taiwan, for example, the most common pathogen of PLA is Klebsiella pneumoniae. This bacterium lives in the intestines, where it is normally harmless. However, if it gets into the bloodstream or other areas of the body, it can result in pneumonia, PLA, or other problems.
If you've recently been hospitalized for bacterial pneumonia treatment in the last three months, it's recommended that you keep an eye on the potential for PLA. Talk to your doctor about how to effectively monitor this risk.
What Increases Your Risk of Developing Pneumonia?
Smoking—cigarette smoking is the strongest risk factor for healthy young people.
Because you'll need a doctor to prescribe antibiotics or some antiviral medications, it's worthwhile to visit the doctor if you're experiencing symptoms for more than a few days.
Sometimes, however, more severe symptoms can arise—even if treatment is already underway—that should prompt a doctor's visit.
Pneumonia can be life-threatening if not treated, and even mild cases can linger for months without treatment. It's best to get examined if your symptoms last for a few days, and even more important if you're experiencing any of the issues mentioned above.

In between all the hiking, sleeping under the stars, and -- well, everything else you'd do on a four-month roadtrip if given the chance -- Heck paused every now and again and set up his gear for another time-lapse. On his return, he assembled the results at 4K resolution, using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 and LRTimelapse, as well as both After Effects and Premiere Pro CS6.
And those results... well, they speak for themselves, as you'll see above in his video, "Awakening - New Zealand 4K".

Saturday, April 12, noon to 7 p.m.
You really should know Adam Leech by now. Aside from being the organizer behind this weekend's LoCO music festival at Acacia Park, he's been a mascot and leader of the Colorado Springs underground rock 'n'roll scene for over five years now. You might remember his former bands, the proto-punk band the Deadites, or the Confessions, purveyors of all things trashy and glam. Or you might have heard of CUMS (Colorado University Music Supporters), a group of music lovers at UCCS that he helped start (about which he says, "I should have called them the CU Music Lovers, but it was too late").
Leech currently holds a benevolent sway over his own a popular Web site, Leechpit.com. The site started as primarily a means to hawk merchandise for his bands, but evolved into a hub of information and gossip for the local music scene with a music events calendar, information about bands, and no fewer than eight constantly bickering forums.
In keeping with Leech's tradition of actually doing things comes the April 12 LoCO (Lower Colorado) Music Showcase and Free CD music sampler at Acacia Park this Saturday. While enrolled in a marketing class at UCCS this year, Leech and his classmates saw a golden opportunity when Honda, the car company, started giving money to schools to organize events promoting its new car, the Honda Element.
Luckily for local music fans, when Leech sees dollar signs, he hears music. He took the opportunity at hand and, with the help of a few members of the CU Music Supporters and his class, put together a free all-day show beginning at noon on Saturday at the Acacia Park band shell.
The event will showcase local bands Earthwormz, Rustcycle, Reno Divorce, Accumen1, Betting on the Muse, the Mansfields, and the Right Aways. That's hip-hop, electronic, punk rock, hip-hop, indie rock, punk rock, and ska, yes, ska, respectively.
Leech also had a thousand compilation CDs pressed that feature an even-more-eclectic eclectic bunch of locals and semi-locals such as Fusion of Syllables (FOS), Joe Kuzma, Looks Like Me, Against Tomorrow's Sky and others. Five hundred copies will be distributed freely at the all-day show; the other half will be available at Independent Records.
"Honda's on there because nobody else would drop the cash." Such an abruptly pragmatic capitalist philosophy coming from a punk rocker in a marketing class may seem a bit disarming for those still clinging to their ideals, but in a town where many in the Springs underground rock community constantly decry the lack of a scene, Adam Leech seems practically oblivious to such concerns.
Local musicians are also excited for the opportunity to show the collective force of the music scene in Colorado Springs.
"[Adam Leech] utting this show on and issuing this CD proves that there's something going on here in the Springs," said Mike Stephens, singer and guitar player for Against Tomorrow's Sky, one of the bands featured on the CD.

Florida State third baseman Drew Mendoza has had an impressive 2019 season.
He has 16 homers to his name, had the walk-off hit to lead the Seminoles to the College World Series and Mendoza is on the cover of the CWS' program.

Mendoza was viewed as one of the top prospects entering the 2019 MLB Draft.
His play lived up the hype, as he was selected 94th overall by the Washington Nationals.
There was some belief he could've been selected on day one, but that didn't happen. Being selected on Day 2 made it four straight years the Seminoles didn't have a day one pick.

Both of Drew Mendoza's parents attended FSU.
Although he probably didn't need to specify he's a legacy student, having that distinction is good enough. Mendoza has admitted his parents' connection played a role in him committing to the school. Safe to say, its all worked out.

FSU was Mendoza's dream school
Since his parents attended Florida State, he grew up a fan of the school.
Attending the institution was always a dream of his, which is why he turned down being a top MLB pick in 2016.

Q: Antiderivative of $e^{au}$ I cannot seem to figure out $\int e^{au}du$.  I have tried u-substitution (of course with a variable other than u) and can't get it to work out to the right answer.  Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

A: Notice $$d(e^{au}) = a e^{au} du \implies \int d(e^{au}) = \int a e^{au} du \implies \int e^{au} du = \frac{1}{a} e^{au} + K$$

A: $$\frac d{du}\left(\frac1ae^{au}\right)=e^{au}$$

Today, frameless European style kitchen cabinets are popular amongst designers seeking cutting edge cabinet trends. They bring a modern sleek look to the kitchen. An alternative design that is becoming more popular with both homeowners and kitchen designers, is inset cabinetry.
Inset cabinets, which are one of today's cabinet trends to watch, were first popularized in the 18th and 19th centuries. They are built in a manner that is similar to frameless cabinets, but the doors are inset, and are flush with the cabinet frame, rather than laying on top of it like both European style and face frame cabinetry.
As inset cabinetry becomes more and more popular, homeowners are finding that they offer plenty of benefits and a few drawbacks. It's important to do your research before you commit to any purchase. Here are a few key pros and cons to inset cabinetry design.
Inset cabinets are one of the leading cabinet trends for the coming year because they bring substantial benefits to your kitchen. Probably the most common reason is that they look great and fit into almost any design style from traditional to modern. Because the doors are set flush within the cabinet box, they offer clean lines and a simple yet elegant look. Plus, the edges of the doors are less prone to wear and tear over time because they're not exposed like traditional face frame or frameless cabinet designs.
Along with the normal colors and materials, options include beaded or non-beaded inserts and can sport either exposed or hidden hinges so you can design the look to match your style. While it's somewhat negligible, inset cabinets offer some space savings that can be a plus in a small space. They project outward a little less and this along with the sleek line can make a difference in a smaller kitchen.
Inset cabinets are usually completely custom and need to be built with attention to detail and professional skill.
Because inset doors do require precise construction in order to operate properly they are built to the highest quality standards and as a result, offer many years of trouble-free service.
There are a few drawbacks you should be aware of before jumping in. Because they are custom-built, while you can get exactly what you are looking for, you pay for the privilege. In most cases, inset cabinetry can cost 20 to 40% more than semi-custom cabinets, and significantly more than stock so you'll need to budget accordingly.
Because the doors fit inside the frame, inset cabinets have a little less storage in both the cabinets and drawers. While this loss is minimal, some homeowners find this an inconvenience, However, this problem can be minimized with customized storage options.
Even the best quality inset cabinets will require some level of ongoing maintenance throughout their lifetime. Homes settle, wear and tear and high levels of moisture can affect how the doors and drawers sit within the frame. You may require periodic visits from your contractor to reset the hang to maintain their clean tight look. The best way to avoid this problem is wise to work with a professional, experienced home remodeler and manufacturer who only uses the highest quality materials.
Inset cabinetry is set to be one of the hottest cabinet trends for 2018. If you're planning a kitchen remodeling, consider adding inset cabinetry to your project. While you will pay more upfront, inset cabinets offer a custom look that's at home in any décor.
At Forward Design Build, we're very familiar with inset cabinetry and only work with the highest quality manufacturers and materials so we can provide our customers with beautiful cabinets that last for the long haul. If you'd like to learn more about your cabinetry options or are considering a kitchen remodel, give us a call and let us show you how we can help you achieve your perfect dream kitchen!


Clare. I couldn't agree more. She says this at least 3-5 times a day. I will be sad when she stops.
John Paul and Will. I got them hooked. Usually, we DVR it and let them watch the highlights. That way, I can edit out any missteps by Steven Tyler 🙂 We all want James to be in the final, John Paul is rooting for Haley and Will I have money on Scotty. We shall see.
Clare evidently thinks when you travel, why not just sleep at O'Hare in Chicago? I mean, really, who needs a hotel room?
We have a full weekend of crazy. Scott gets home later today (yee-haw), then it's a day full of church volunteering, Mass altar serving/lectoring and some Mother's Day festivities on Sunday. Some women talk about how excited they are that they "get the day off" on Mother's Day and how it makes their husbands appreciate them more. If I'm supermom, then I married superdad. He always appreciates what I do – and tells me often. I love that man. So much.
I'll be back on Sunday for a little Mother's Day post. Until then, make it a great weekend!


Don't underestimate the value of teaching children about oral health and hygiene at an early age. Tooth decay leads to a whole host of other issues that can last a lifetime. Many parents begin taking their babies to a pediatric dentist before they even have teeth, though it is recommended that you take them around age one, around six months after their first tooth comes in.
- Social stigma and issues with self-esteem.
- Pain, discomfort, and swelling.
- Potential infections and complications.
- Difficulty eating or drinking, which could contribute to weight loss.
Avoid these issues and prevent apprehension of dental providers by taking your children to the dentist early and acclimating them to the experience of a regular, routine dental exam.
Demonstrate good brushing form. It is recommended that children – and adults – brush after every meal and snack, at a minimum of twice daily; if you get them to brush, are they doing it right? Spend time demonstrating proper brushing to ensure they are getting rid of the plaque that can cause a cavity later.
Get rid of the bottles. If you want to prevent decay in teeth that may not even have erupted through the gums yet, get rid of the bottle and the sippy-cup. Milk and juice contain sugar which sits on the teeth when your child has a bottle or sippy-cup in their mouth. Encourage sips from a regular cup when they are old enough and if you must use a bottle or baby-cup, fill it with water instead.
Ensure children drink plenty of water. Make sure that your children drink plenty of water for two reasons: one, it helps to remove residue and sugar from teeth between brushing, and two, it combats dry mouth, which also contributes to tooth decay.
Take care of teeth to avoid injury. Tooth trauma puts your child's teeth at increased risk of decay. A chipped or cracked tooth is more vulnerable to a cavity so deter any activity that could compromise your child's teeth, like using teeth to open packaging or chewing on items that are not edible.
Make an appointment to visit a pediatric dentistry office at least every year, though many suggest having teeth examined and cleaned every six months. Don't let your child suffer the consequences of tooth decay and cavities; model good oral hygiene to get kids in the habit now!

This pretty seriously ticks me off. Why in the world would a company delete something that far ranging without at least sending an email to the customer or broadcasting it on every platform possible? I used clip art on a regular basis....making cards, mailing labels, chore charts, papers for my homeschool, etc. It would have been nice to be able to save off all those clip art graphics to my own drive before MS Office did one of their lovely updates and removed everything. Personally, I detest Bing and I'm not even remotely interested in getting involved with anything involving copyright law. Maybe it's time to make the journey to Open Office at last. Buh bye Microsoft!
This applies more to teachers than to anyone else, but clip art (especially black line clip art) can´t be beat when it comes to using images that are going to be photocopied. It creates a much cleaner look than a photo. While there is much talk of going digital, the reality is that most of the world still is using paper for teaching . . . and a lot of it, not because we aren´t open to the digital world, but many times not all students have access.
As an artist I resent some people's assumption that original art from my abilities and imagination, which I have sacrificed a lot to develop, should somehow default to public property. If we require artists to participate in a money economy their art belongs to them. Copying images and not following the copyright owners permissions to the letter is stealing, outright. And deep pockets like Disney has taught individuals that the hard way.
I used clipart a LOT for newsetters and other documents. I don't always want a photo - clipart is often better at getting an idea across quickly, and I didn't need to worry about copyright because I assumed it was OK to use without permission as it was a part of the MS package. The BING option is terrible - very juvenile and hardly extensive with fewer than 50 options. And by-the-way, most of the online sites for "accessing clipart in MS Word 2010" still say to go to insert then click on clipart. Really - we hardly need such basic instructions when they aren't even correct anymore!
My colleague Chris compared Google Image search to Bing Bing Images vs. Google Images - Which Has Better Results? Bing Images vs. Google Images - Which Has Better Results? Bing's image search once challenged Google, offering more features and a better design. With infinite scrolling and the ability to search for similar images, Bing was legitimately better than Google at image search just a... Read More , and found Google's results to be better. If you feel the same way, don't worry: you can use it to find rights-cleared images. While searching for an image, click Search Tools then Usage Rights.
This is TERRIBLE! Besides being able to edit vector images like Will mentioned (which is important for those of us who don't have graphic artists available to create custom images or the budget or time to buy that service ad hoc), you could also search for style "families" (different graphics that were all in the same style). There was a huge range of files and styles in the collection and it was much faster to find what you need than to do a Bing search. Plus, you knew that everything there was free and free to use, without having to worry about CC license issues.
There has been talk about removing Microsoft Office completely, since OpenOffice and Google has free "equivalent" products. My school district has already removed Microsoft Office from classroom student computers. Only teacher computers and computer lab computers have Microsoft installed. The future of Microsoft Office looks bleak! Their motto must be, "One step forward, two steps back!"

If you mean your own artwork, then you'd take a picture of it, upload it to your computer (make sure you know where you're saving it), then select Insert > Picture in Word, browse in the location where you saved the photo, click the picture, and insert. If you mean an image from the internet or something, you can just save it to your computer and basically follow the rest of the steps above.

Each voter casts two votes in multi-member constituencies.
There is no threshold to win a seat.
The Constitution Amendment Act 2013 requires that women shall consist of a minimum of 10% of the 49-member Legislative Assembly (i.e., five). In the event that the number of women elected in the general election is less than five, unsuccessful candidate/s with the highest number of votes shall become additional member/s of the Legislative Assembly. The vacancy for the additional member shall be filled by the woman candidate who won the next highest number of votes in the 2016 general election.
Vacancies to other seats arising between general elections are filled through by-elections. However, in the event that a seat held by a woman member becomes vacant and a male candidate wins the by-election, the woman candidate with the highest number of votes (either in that by-election or the most recent general election) shall become an additional member.
The disqualifications above are valid for four years thereafter.

Senate President Bukola Saraki has sacked his director of protocol, head of administration and 96 others to scale down the number of his aides, it has been reliably gathered.
It was gathered that the affected aides have been issued sack letters through the office of the Chief of staff, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed. It was gathered that with the mass sack, Saraki's aides have been reduced from over 300 to a little above 200.
The newspaper had exclusively reported in March, 2016, how hundreds of aides engaged by Saraki, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and Deputy Speaker, Yusuf Lasun weighed down the National Assembly.
An aide to Saraki said that the last batch of the affected aides, were given their sack letters on Tuesday.
"They started last Wednesday and they have finished distributing the letters on Tuesday. Out of the 300 aides, about 100 were affected. You know we have some of our colleagues that are based in Kwara," he said.
He said among those affected were the director of protocol, Arthur Ndiwe and the head of administration, Mrs Folasade Adigun.
It was also gathered that the Special Adviser to Saraki on legal matters, Ibrahim Tukur El-Sudi has also resigned.
Another source in Saraki's office, who also confirmed the mass sack, said majority of those affected were staff of the National Assembly, who have been on secondment for over a decade.
The source who doesn't want to be named said others who were affected are those who were redundant and are not 'adding value' to the system.

Girls and boys are crazy to do crazy and stunning hairdos.The experimental nature of young generation demands experimental and best hair design according to their personality. I am bringing you some easy to do hairstyle. These beautiful hairstyles are definitely worthy of giving a shot at your next event. You can find best hairstyles for your little lady killers, Babydolls, school going girls and for elder girls and boys of course. Do let me know in the comment section which design helped you.
Hairs are one of the great bounties from Almighty. Both men and women are very much conscious about their hairs. Any kind of hair fault makes them worried. Both the genders have varying preferences about hair length. Some girls and boys prefer long length. But some prefer short length hairs. Be it long or short length, beautiful hairs not only look prettier but they also get you praise like " OMG! your hairs are so pretty, Your long hairs made me drool over you, you look cute in short length " and stuff like this. Mothers on one side want slightly longer hairs for their darling daughters but on the other hand are worried that they may make the baby girl annoy while playing. Baby boys also wish to have equally stylish hairstyles as do their elder brothers.
Be it long hairs or short hairs, Girls and boys often find it difficult to chose the best hairstyle which is also easy to do. Sometimes this frustration leads them to cut their hairs to save themselves from this trouble. Now, lovely girls and handsome boys, no more frustration, and tears, because I am here to rescue you and your hairs. I have chosen one of the best and easy hair design that will look gorge on your personality. The list follows hairstyles for baby boys and girls and also for elder ones. You can have these styles on various events like weddings, engagement, high school farewells, birthday bashes and other family gatherings.
Let us begin with a twisted bun for which you don't need to pay a dime even. You can do it yourself in less than 10 minutes. A deceptively intricate and beautiful bun is perfect to have on a wedding or school event. All you need is hairbrush, bobby pins, u pins, and hairspray of course for the setting of the bun.Begin with straight hair. Then part your hair down the middle into two sections. Make it sure the division of hairs between the two sections is even. Hold the two tails and then tie them into a knot and fasten with bobby pins. After that twist the top section, and carefully pin as you wrap around the knot. Repeat with the other section of hair. Hide the ends under the bun and finish with hairspray! The method for this amazing updo is also illustrated through the images. Hope you will like it.
The best hairstyle for the baby boys that looks classy on your little glossy precursor. This faded hairstyle with a side part is very easy to do. First neatly cut off the hair. The hairs should be cut in such a way that there is a light discolor beginning from a little lower on the scalp. Utilize a gel ideally to fix the side component. Use the brush to set the hairs. Your glossy little lady killer is ready to rock!
A perfect combination of a pretty French braid and a soft twist resulted in this beautiful twisted braid. A romantic enough hairstyle to carry on a family party or even on Eid festivals. You can carry this look with both eastern and western outfits. It's very easy to do. Grab a comb, hair elastics, and texturizing spray and get started. Follow the image one by one to get this perfect hairstyle.
A perfect hairstyle for the little dolls to save them from the trouble of free hairs. Moms who want to keep long hairs of their baby girls this is for you. The Dutch braids are only different in one aspect from French braids that you pull each strand under the others. Start from the hairline and keep it till the bottom. You should keep it near to the scalp so that all the hairs can be covered up. Secure the ends with a hair band.
This criss-cross hairstyle is a must try. I personally love this hairstyle as it is a mixture of 2,3 hairstyles. The top of designs gives out the look of a french braid but oh wow! the bottom is kept free with three other braids. The center one is common braid style while those on either side are fishtail braids. Here is another benefit of this style which is that you can change it according to your like. You can have a single fishtail braid in center only, or you can have all the three braids in fishtail style. It all depends on you.
This high fade quiff haircut is for lads who like to experiment with their face and hairs of course. This haircut is a new adventure for you guys. The faded sides and center with high puff will absolutely look clicky.
This alluring hairstyle is perfect and ideal for the women or girls who want their back to look slimmer. The alternating pattern of waves distract the onlooker's eye and in this way, you look slim because viewer cant focuses on your back. These are very loose curls and their length is touching and almost covering your back. Starting almost from the beginning of neck level, waves on the bottom faces outward and that on top should face inwardly. In this way, an intact network of waves can be seen falling in the right pattern.
This is for the boys who are now jumped out of toddlers age. They can carry this style well. Skaters hairstyle is among the most stylish hairstyles of boys. The frontal hair tips over the forehead instantly give charm to the baby boy's personality. This haircut is a modified form of routine haircut of boys. The only modification is that you leave more hair tips on the forehead. Although it looks simple to do but in my suggestion you should seek the help of an expert in order to prevent any bad happening to the boy's hairs.
The large and voluminous braid starting from the top of the head and sitting on side of your shoulder with loose and free length on shoulders looks stunning and seductive. This style can be carried out at any function. The curves of bread are kept loose so that it looks more voluminous and attractive.
Men or boys who work in offices, this decent hairstyle is for you people. In the workplaces, a rocky and spiky hairstyle is considered appropriate for the office environment. A well combed and sleeked heads are preferred. This hairstyle perfectly matches with your job's dress and hair code. You can also pick it for your wedding day. A smart hairstyle for handsome hunks.
Fringes and bangs on the face of a baby girl with medium hair length might bother her while playing. Get rid of this annoyance of her by trying this brilliant hairstyle. This creative hairdo can be achieved by sweeping the hair locks to one side, the direction is of your choice or which suits on the kiddo's face, then by pulling in strands from the parting create a side braid. Fasten the end with a color band and its done.
A casual and easy hairstyle for the college and university going girls. Wavy hairs sat free on the back and a top loose knot will look perfect on young girls. The top knot at the center of the head should not be kept tight. Keep the knot somewhat loose and spread it outward slightly to keep the romance alive. Hairs should sweep back softly to tame only the top layers.A few layers should also be left on the front to frame the face. The goal here is not to sweep back too much hair because this might ruin the hairstyle's beauty.

Iran denies meeting between martyr Fakhrizadeh, IAEA officials
TEHRAN – Behrooz Kamalvandi, spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), has denied any meeting between nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh and the officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
"Martyr Fakhrizadeh had not had any meetings or conversations with the former director general of Agency, inspectors or officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency and allegations made in this regard are baseless," Kamalvandi said on Monday, according to Mehr.
He explained that the IAEA's inspections are performed on the basis of legal principles accepted in the agreements inked between Iran and the IAEA, and just rules of safeguards or protocols are carried out and there is nothing beyond that.
No unusual inspections have happened nor will happen, Kamalvandi said.
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, 59, was assassinated on Friday in a terrorist attack involving at least one explosion and small fire by a number of assailants in Absard city of Damavand County, Tehran Province.
Iranian officials were quick to point the finger at Israel, which has carried out assassination operations against Iranian nuclear scientists over the past decade.
"Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today. This cowardice—with serious indications of Israeli role—shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators. Iran calls on int'l community—and especially the EU—to end their shameful double standards & condemn this act of state terror," Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a tweet, hours after the Friday attack.
Several Iranian officials and lawmakers have also called for an end to Iran's cooperation with the IAEA.
Kamalvandi said if a new decision is taken by the Iranian Parliament and high-ranking officials in this regard, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran will implement it.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he pointed to the dimensions of measures taken by the enemies of the Islamic Republic in various arenas, saying, "The enemies of the country have been defeated by the Islamic Revolution in the field of hard and soft power, and with these inhumane and brutal actions, they are trying to target technology, knowledge and security of our country."
He added when the Zionists came to the conclusion that they cannot prevent Iran's nuclear program and technological progress, they resorted to assassinate the country's nuclear scientist Dr. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had mentioned Fakhrizadeh in a 2018 presentation on the alleged atomic archive of Iran that Israel claims it stole from a warehouse in southern Tehran.
Netanyahu said at the time that he identified Fakhrizadeh as the head scientist in Iran's nuclear program, and asked people to "remember that name".
Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, has said the U.S. and Israeli regimes are responsible for the assassination.
"The cowardly assassination of Martyr Fakhrizadeh – with serious indications of Israeli responsibility in it – is another desperate attempt to wreak havoc on our region as well as to disrupt Iran's scientific and technological development," Takht Ravanchi wrote in a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and President of UN Security Council Inga Rhonda King on Friday.

Cornia Nou
Cornia Nou is a Talayotic settlement located near Maó where, since 2007, a team of archaeologists with ties to the Museu de Menorca, in collaboration with Amics del Museu de Menorca, have been carry out tasks of excavation and restoration.
Currently, the archaeological site includes two areas separated by a zone where no archaeological remains were found. It may be possible that the stone extraction, along with agricultural cultivation activities, destroyed the archaeological site area just between the two. In the surroundings there are several burial caves.
Hence, the eastern area is occupied by a hill, which still is home to the remains of a wall built using the dry stone technique. To the south-east, on top of this closing wall, stands an average-sized talayot with a circular layout. This talayot was excavated during the 2007 and 2008 campaigns, helping us to understand what the exact interior layout of the building was: a corridor up to 4 m high runs across it from north to south. The walls of this gallery were built using the approximation of rows technique, with a roofing system achieved by the juxtaposition of large stone slabs. A small corridor leads to an elliptical room that is also connected to the corridor through a loophole.
It was also understood that this chamber had been reused as part of a dwelling around the 3rd century BCE, although unfortunately no archaeological strata were found that corresponded to the period of construction. On the north side of the talayot, there are two connected wells, reused as dumping sites while the talayot was used as a dwelling. As evidenced in this part of the archaeological site, the end of the Talayotic era did not leave the settlement abandoned, on the contrary, it was still occupied through the Roman and Islamic periods.
In the western area there is a truncated cone-shape talayot, one of the largest on the island. On the south side there is a door with a monumental stairway approximately half way up, that might have led to the upper area's interior. The upper platform was dug out in 2014, which showed that the large talayot had been erected using concentric rings.
There are two large buildings of rectangular tendency attached to the talayot: the one attached to the south side was excavated from 2008 to 2012, when its internal structure was discovered. It presented two different parts, one of which still has its roof intact.
Inside the building many tools related to food processing were documented, such as hand mills, mortars, strikers, punches. A number of bones of domestic animals were also found; goat, sheep, ox and pig, along with the occasional presence of deer and bird remains. Additionally, a large amount of carbonised grain was documented, used in a combustion structure located in the central corridor, where roasting might have taken place to hull the grains. This archaeological evidence has certainly led us to understand the south building as a management, control and processing centre of food that went beyond mere household uses. It could be that the seizure of resources as well as the monumental nature of the building involved a growing social inequality of the community living in the settlement. According to the 14-carbon dating, it has been discovered that the southern building was still in use in an undetermined moment between 1100-900 BCE and that it may have been abandoned around the 6th century BCE.
There is a second, less monumental building to highlight, located to the west of the talayot. This is a construction with an apsidal layout divided in two spaces. In 2015 the excavation tasks of this building began and the two separate interior areas were identified. The goal of this five-year project of archaeological excavations (2014-2018) is to complete the archaeological tasks, as well as the establishment and restoration processes to prepare it for public visitation.
The archaeological project was promoted by the Museu de Menorca and Amics del Museu de Menorca association under the current management of Montserrat Anglada, Lluís Plantalamor and Damià Ramis. It has been co-funded by the General Research Department of Menorca's Island Council, the Institut Menorquí d'Estudis and the Museu de Menorca. The Institute Royal du Patrimoine Artistique, in Brussels, is another collaborating entity.

Skrillex nabs major production credits on new Mariah Carey & Ty Dolla $ign song, 'The Distance'
by: Grace Fleisher Oct 18, 2018
If there were any doubt about whether Skrillex's music has become one with the world of mainstream pop and R&B, his latest production credits will eradicate any remaining uncertainty.
Sonny Moore's new production for Mariah Carey hits the big leagues. It's no deep OWSLA cut, or anything like, say "Chicken Soup," but it is a welcome reimagining of the timelessness that Mariah Carey always so elegantly exudes. There's still the Skrillex MO buried somewhere in the buoyant baseline.
Of course, Skrillex also reportedly has new music of his own on the way and judging by his hand at this number, it's looking like anything is possible.

Garth Brooks Stuns Honky-Tonk Crowd, Invites Ol' Fashioned Singalong [Watch]
Tricia Despres
One of the coolest parts about Nashville? That you never know who you might see when you walk into one of the many bars lining Broadway, the city's music hotspot. On Thursday night, that person was Garth Brooks.
Party-goers at the iconic Tootie's Orchid Lounge on Aug. 9 got a surprise visit from the country music legend, who ignited a classic singalong of his songs "That Summer" and "Ain't Going Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up)" with local singer-songwriter Andy Gibbons.
The moment, which occurred on the second floor of the well-known honky-tonk, was caught on video by Nashville television station WKRN-TV. Brooks has had some free time lately, as he concluded his World Tour last year and has been spending time in the studio working on a new album.
First Arenas, Now Garth Taking Over Football Stadiums?
"The album hasn't been named yet, but right now, the whole center focus of the new album is just having fun, and I think it shows up in the new single," he says in an interview with Taste of Country Nights. Brooks has a new single out called "All Day Long."
Brooks will get back to a bigger live stage soon to play the first-ever concert at Notre Dame Stadium. There is also talk that he might be working on plans to travel overseas for a run of dates.

MSU Announces New Student VC Fund, Winners of Inaugural Pitch Contest
Sarah Schmid Stevenson
Michigan State University students now have an opportunity to dabble in the rollercoaster world of startup funding thanks to a new partnership between Red Cedar Ventures and the Broad College of Business Center for Venture Capital, Private Equity and Entrepreneurial Finance.
Launched this week, the Student Venture Capital Fund will invest up to $50,000 per year in early-stage companies led by MSU students and faculty, or housed at the university's venture center. Finance students will take on due diligence responsibilities to get a taste of the industry's risks and rewards.
"We're laser-focused on ensuring students are receiving experiential learning opportunities," says Aaryn Richard, spokesman for Red Cedar Ventures, the wholly owned venture investment subsidiary of the Michigan State University Foundation. "Entrepreneurship is alive and well on the MSU campus."
Richard says finance students are already conducting investment evaluations for more than 20 startups. The Student Venture Capital Fund will announce the results of its evaluations and award capital at an on-campus event on April 26. The fund, he adds, is open to startups regardless of sector. The first round of evaluations included companies focused on everything from cybersecurity and mobile apps to food and long-term senior care.
The student fund's pipeline will come from events like the Burgess New Venture Challenge (BNVC), a pitch competition that held its inaugural event this week, as well as programs such as the MSU Hatch accelerator. Richard says the BNVC is a collaboration between Spartan Innovations and the Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and is designed to promote "entrepreneurship, leadership, and innovation at MSU." It's named after alumnus Robert Burgess, a businessman and longtime university adviser.
Fifteen MSU student startups participated in the BNVC for a chance to win scholarship prizes totaling more than $40,000. Here's a bit more about each of the top five winners:
—Skoop ($15,000): The company's electric pedicabs include digital advertising displays attached to the exterior and interior, which subsidizes the cost of the ride for passengers. While on board, riders can also charge their phones and pick the music they listen to.
—Perch ($10,000): Using a proprietary matching algorithm, the Perch website connects employers with applicants in an effort to find talent for academic research groups, university departments, and industrial research and development companies.
—Zonder ($5,000): The company's app gamifies travel, rewarding players with achievement badges when they visit new attractions. Users can also complete "quests" and share their journeys with friends and family.
—Classii ($3,000): By parsing publicly available data, the Classii app helps students find others in their classes, ask questions, and form study groups at their university.
—Emage Technologies ($2,000): A wireless auto-diagnostics tool to increase pipeline safety in industrial settings, Emage Technologies automates the inspection process and transmits vital information about leaks, cracks, corrosion, material degradation, pressure, and more.

HomeCrime2021 had five mass killers who exclusively murdered members of other races; Zero of them were White
2021 had five mass killers who exclusively murdered members of other races; Zero of them were White
The narratives pushed by Hollywood and the media are false
If you believed the narratives pushed by Hollywood, tv shows, and the mainstream media, mass shooters are supposed to be White guys who target non-White victims.
The reality is much different. Most racially motivated mass killings in modern US history have had White victims. Not White perpetrators.
This website has compiled a list of the 63 deadliest mass killings of 2021. There were five large mass killings, in which the perpetrator exclusively killed members of other races. None were committed by White perpetrators.
Largest mass killing in 2021:
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa
On March 22nd, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, a 21-year-old Arab man born in Syria, shot and killed ten people at a grocery store.
Alissa had a past history of racially charged conflicts with people at his High School. In 2018 he was convicted of misdemeanor assault. When he was arrested he indicated to police that the attack was motivated by racial animosity. He accused his victim of being "racist." Alissa also had Facebook posts making conspiratorial allegations against "racist" White people and bought into far-left narratives of White people being his oppressors. All of his victims are White, six women and four males.
Despite being the largest mass shooting of 2021, most national media dropped the story as soon as it was announced that the killer from an immigrant from Syria.
Fifth Largest mass killing in 2021 (#1 in terms of total victims)
On November 21st, Darrel Edward Brooks carried out a major terrorist attack on a Christmas Parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin using his SUV as a weapon. He smashed through a police barricade as law enforcement fired shots as his car. Then he drove down the street and sped up when he get close to the parade. Witnesses say he drove in a zig zag pattern to hit as many people as possible.
Brooks had previously posted pro-BLM and left-wing political messages on social media. He also fantasized about committing violence against White people. The attack occurred in a suburban area that is overwhelmingly White. All six of the fatalities and all of the injured people shown in the media are White.
Many major media outlets, some of which share a lot of the same political views as the killer has, aggressively downplayed the attack. They attempted to claim it was some sort of accident. When that did not work, these media outlets simply dropped coverage of the massacre entirely.
Eight largest mass killing of 2021:
Philip Adams
On April 7th, former NFL player Phillip Adams shot and killed six people inside a home in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Two of the victims were small children. The victims include an elderly couple, their two grandchildren, and two other men working inside the house.
The family of the shooter blamed his murders on head injuries from playing football. The "mainstream" media has been eager to promote this theory, even though many experts have dismissed it.
Four killed (8 way tie for the 21st place):
Maleke Dominque Pate
On October, 21st, four people were murdered in Tacoma, Washington. The suspect is 22 year old Maleke Dominque Pate. The suspect used fireworks as cover to carry out the quadruple murder. The victims are a mix of Asian, Latino, and White. They appear to have been two couple.
No motive has been given. The mass killing was only covered by local media.
Three killed, one injured (8 way tie for 56th place):
On May 8th, Everton Brown, 58, shot four people in Gwynn Oak, Maryland. Brown died in a shootout with police afterward. He initially started a fire to lure his victims out of their home before shooting them. The victims had previously called the police to complain about Brown. The victims are two Latino and a Nepali. The gunman, who was Black, was subdued after being shot by police. He later died in the hospital.
Brown targeted people in his own neighborhood. Residents say he had a history of harassing people. The murders were only covered by local media.
Related: The two most recent massacres of Black victims by White perpetrators were carried out by left-wing activists. In 2017, a Lesbian couple who were high profile Black Lives Matter Activists and had been praised in the national media murdered six Black foster children. In 2019, Conner Betts murdered six Black victims in a Dayton bar. He also killed three White victims, including his sister. Betts was actively involved in multiple far-left circles, including Antifa. These account for two of the largest three White on Black massacres in modern US history. Once again, we see that reality is dramatically different than the media's false narratives.
