Q: Shared preferences working only for the first app restart. On restarting the app second time card view titles are not retained I have created an app which adds cards and a title is set on each card after taking a name input from user. In order to retain the cards and the title during app restart I am using sharedpreferences and saving the individual card titles in an array. The issue is after first app restart the card titles are retained but on further app restart the card titles are not retained. Although the number of cards are still retained.

A: There is no need to store every card in onPause() method. We will only write new card in sharedPref as prev cards are already presen in sharedPref. So when you are trying to save the prev cards in the loop, there is a problem.( writing blank value).
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private CardView cardview;
    private CardView cardview2;
    private LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutparams1;
    private LinearLayout layout;
    public SharedPreferences mSettings;
    int mCount;
    int i=0,j=0;
    public TextView tv1;
    public TextView tv4;
    public TextView tv3;
    String name;
    String names[] = new String[10];
    String key[] = {"A","B","C","D","F","G","H"};

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        mCount=0;

        Button b1 = findViewById(R.id.button);
        layout=findViewById(R.id.view);
        tv1 = findViewById(R.id.textView);

        b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                names[mCount] = tv1.getText().toString().trim();
                mCount++;
                saveName();
            }
        });
    }

    private void saveName()    //Cardview-1 function to
    {
        cardview = new CardView(getApplicationContext());
        layoutparams1 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        layoutparams1.setMargins(18, 30, 18, 0);
        cardview.setLayoutParams(layoutparams1);
        cardview.setCardBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
        cardview.setMinimumHeight(400);

        tv3 = new TextView(getApplicationContext());
        tv3.setText(tv1.getText().toString().trim());

        cardview.setRadius(30);
        cardview.addView(tv3);
        layout.addView(cardview);

        saveInPref();
    }

    private void saveInPref() {
        mSettings = getSharedPreferences("APP_PREFERENCES", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = mSettings.edit();
        editor.putInt("COUNT_CARDS", mCount);
        editor.putString(key[mCount-1],names[mCount-1]);
        editor.apply();
    }

    private void saveName2()  //Cardview 2 function
    {
        cardview2 = new CardView(getApplicationContext());
        layoutparams1 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        layoutparams1.setMargins(18, 30, 18, 0);
        cardview2.setLayoutParams(layoutparams1);
        cardview2.setCardBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
        cardview2.setMinimumHeight(400);
        tv4 = new TextView(getApplicationContext());

        mSettings = getSharedPreferences("APP_PREFERENCES", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        name = mSettings.getString(key[j],"");
        tv4.setText(name);
        j++;

        cardview2.setRadius(30);
        cardview2.addView(tv4);
        layout.addView(cardview2);
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mSettings = getSharedPreferences("APP_PREFERENCES", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        if(mSettings.contains("COUNT_CARDS"))
        {
            mCount = mSettings.getInt("COUNT_CARDS", 0);
            for (int i=0; i<mCount; i++)
                saveName2();
        }
    }
}

So when you click on the SAVE button then only you can save card in SharedPref. This will save in unnecessary write operation on sharedPref.

"End the Fed!" Protest Set for Saturday
By Nick Lucchesi on Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Admittedly, the workings of globalization, the Federal Reserve and international economics aren't as easy to grasp as the concept of a same-sex marriage, but for the second week in a row, there will be a protest in St. Louis.
The latest uproar goes after the Federal Reserve Bank, and Saturday is being called "End the Fed Day." The protest will take place at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, just east of Kiener Plaza on Broadway and will proceed to the Federal Reserve Building. The bank is one of only twelve in the country that comprise our national central bank.
Invitees are encouraged to wear "clever costumes (of a non-threatening and totally non-violent nature.)" Not too sure what kind of costume one would wear to a protest against the Fed; because Ben Bernanke, if a little frazzled, looks cuddly most of the time. And Alan Greenspan, the former longtime Fed chair, well, he's not really frightening either.
According to the note sent this weekend, St. Louis is one of 39 U.S. cities taking part. An expected 50-100 people will be in attendance for the noon protest.
More information is available through these three people: Bob Buscher – 314-944-1413, [email protected] Jesse Irwin - 314-775-5760, [email protected] Josh Carter – 314-607-7280, [email protected]

Q: Doesnt upsert all the records when I execute I tried running a schedule job through anonymous window, it executed but ithasnt upserted all the records. There are 10,000 records and only 8000 were upserted. I see this in the logs -  Exceeded maximum time allotted for callout (120000 ms)
Here is my code-
Batch Class-
global class Tlw_BatchCls implements Database.Batchable<sObject>, Database.stateful, Database.AllowsCallouts, Schedulable{

    global List<customobj> tlList = new list<customObj>();

    global Tlw_BatchCls(){

        Boolean isfromBatch = true;

        this.tlList = tlw_sync.upsertRecords(fromdt,toDt,isfromBatch);
    }

    global List<customobj> start(Database.BatchableContext bc){
        return tlList;
    }

    global void execute(Database.BatchableContext bc, List<customobj> tl){
        if(tl.size()>0){
            Schema.SObjectField tlExtId = customObj.Fields.external_id__c;
            Database.UpsertResult[] results = Database.upsert(tl, tlExtId);

Love you, and miss you always.
Six years ago today- an eternity and an instant- my beloved and wonderful dad won peace in his battle with cancer. I think about him every day. We talk about him every day. My mom and my siblings and I are on a group text, where for the past few days we have been reliving his jokes and his sayings, texting each other our favorite photos, and telling each other our favorite stories.
How he would have loved to see my son, his chubby-cheeked little doppelganger, morph into a lean, strong lacrosse player– and to mercilessly tease him about his long hair. Gabby was in third grade when he died, so although Dad was quite familiar with her king-sized personality, he never got the chance to see what a strong, funny, confident young lady she would become. Today I asked Addie what she remembered about her papa, and she remembers- just barely, and I had to help her with the details- that she and I used to take Dad to his radiation treatments, and that the nurses there always had a treat for her. She would eat her cookie- or drink her hot chocolate- and color the nurses a picture while we waited for Dad. "And they put it on the wall, didn't they, Mom?" Addie asked me today, with a little spark of memory in her face. But about her Papa- Addie was five years old when he died, and her memories are more about feelings than moments. She remembers laughing, and she remembers love.
I still miss my dad every day. And I still try, every day, to make him proud of me. Love you, Dad.

So how do the new Oreo Thins really stack up against their thicker siblings?
Becky Krystal
Reporter covering topics related to food
August 11, 2015 at 11:45 AM EDT
The world was shocked, SHOCKED to learn last month that leaner Oreos — Oreo Thins — were making their way into the famed sandwich cookie's empire.
[Why Oreos might as well exist in their own cookie stratosphere]
Now that the shockwaves have subsided, we decided it was time to wade into this with a level head. We wanted to conduct our own (un)scientific, (un)official taste test.
But to really gauge how the Thins stack up, we decided a head-to-head was in order. I swung by a local Giant to pick up the newbies, along with packages of the original and Double Stuf varieties. Moments like this are what self-checkout was designed for. (And, no, we didn't even go there with the flavored fillings — Brownie Batter?!? — or that impostor known as the Golden Oreo.)
Before we tasted, we measured. Each Thin came in at a delicate 3/16 inch, each original 3/8 inch and each Double Stuf 1/2 inch.
As you can see, despite the small-sounding numbers, the difference is noticeable. The Thins are particularly slight: If you enjoy the Gulliver-like sensation of feeling very large in comparison to your food, this is the cookie for you. They also showed a propensity for breaking into pieces when we bit into them; depending on your dexterity or ham-handedness, the Thins may or may not survive attempts to twist off the top to eat the cream filling first.
But here, perhaps, is what we find particularly galling: If you buy Oreo Thins, you will most likely be paying more for less.
Consider this. The packages of Oreos were on sale at two for $6 (normal price $3.49). Except the package sizes were all different: 10.1 ounces (about 40 cookies) for the Thins, 14.3 ounces (about 36 cookies) for the original and 15.35 ounces (about 30 cookies) for the Double Stuf. So, yes, you get more Thins, but for the same price, you come home with 50 percent more net cookie by weight if you go for the Double Stuf.
Similarly, scrutinizing the nutritional facts also gives you insight into the more is less or less is more debate — and to why it's all about the marketing. As the subliminal packaging above shows, the recommended serving of Oreo Thins is four cookies (140 calories, 2 g saturated fat), while the original is three (160 calories, 2 g saturated fat) and Double Stuf two (140 calories, 2 g of saturated fat). In other words, almost identical. Of course, if you're only planning on eating one, then great — that Thin will only set you back 35 calories, compared to 53 for the original and 70 for the Double Stuf. But don't let the slimmer profile trick you into consuming more.
Tasters' reactions ran the gamut from appalled to intrigued. Really, it boils down to whether you're a cookie or filling person. The wafer dominated the flavor of the Thins, so much so that you may just be better off munching on their cousins, the Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. The cream filling takes on a much more prominent role in Double Stuf, but most of us came to a Goldilocks decision that the original was just right, in terms of crunch and filling-wafer balance.
So are Thins the Worst Thing Ever? No. Are they necessary? Not really. Parent company Mondelez International is marketing the Thins as "a more grown-up option." Thanks, but when I want an Oreo, I don't want to feel like a grown-up. Not even a little. Now please pass the milk.

Rock For Culture: A Protest "To Save Fibbers"
The Living Room beer garden.
Emily Greenberg
The protest will take place at 6pm today August 11th outside of the Holiday Inn.
The O'Connell Street beer garden at Fibbers has been home to alternative arts and culture for 43 years, and is now facing destruction – only to be replaced with an expansion of the Holiday Inn Hotel. Today, August 11th, at 6pm there will be a protest outside of the Holiday Inn to save the beer garden shared by Fibber Magee's, The Living Room, and Murray's.
The protest will act as a showcase of the massive talent that has thrived at Fibbers. There will be a live band, a DJ, and Ireland's top drag and burlesque performers on the street to display the importance of Fibbers as a home of arts and culture. Dublin City Council have already approved planning for the expansion of the hotel, but Rock For Culture aims to be a "peaceful disturbance" to demand the safety of the Irish cultural landmark.
Dublin's first ever alt-queer nightlife event, Dance To The Underground, is based at Fibbers and will be left homeless in the face of its destruction.
"We urgently needed a safe space where we could meet, enjoy ourselves and dance... Fibbers is our home and it's our mission to keep queering this space that is so important," the founders of DTTU explained.
The garden has also been influential in Dublin's indie music scene.
"The venues which rely on the shared space have a long history of supporting Irish Traditional & Rock music such as U2 and Aslan," explains the Green Party's Nessa Hourigan.
Rock For Culture has tons of support already, with a petition with over 10k signatures and countless appeals sent to An Bord Pleanála. Labour, the Green Party and Give Us The Night have also sent in appeals, and will contribute speakers to today's event.
Clearly, Fibbers is incredibly important to so many people, evident by the outrage over the space.
"We should be asking the government for more alternative spaces, not to save our own and longest standing one," says an ex-employee at the pub.
Sign the petition here, and check out more information about the protest below.

Das Anderson Valley AVA ist ein Weinbaugebiet im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Das Gebiet liegt innerhalb des Anderson Valley im Verwaltungsgebiet Mendocino County und grenzt an die Yorkville Highlands AVA. Die nur 15–20 km vom Pazifischen Ozean entfernte Region ist bekannt für frischen Pinot Noir und guten Schaumwein. Durch die Nähe zum Pazifik profitiert das Gebiet von den kühlenden Nebeln. Daher gedeihen hier auch Riesling und Gewürztraminer. Innerhalb des Weinbaugebiets wird aufgrund dieser Rebsorten auch ein sogenanntes Elsässer Weinfest organisiert, bei dem jedoch lokale Weine ausgeschenkt werden.

September 1965 – Sudbury, Ontario – Glowing White Cigar UFO Sighting
Back in 2011 I received details of a sighting from a man who used to be a police officer in Sudbury, Ontario. He reported that back in October 1965 while on active service he witnessed a glowing white UFO while on patrol one night. The case was very convincing and a detailed report was written up and published.
In April 2013 a man filled out a sighting report form via the BUFOG website to report a sighting he and his friend had experienced while they were children. The sighting also took place in Sudbury, only one month prior to the other sighting. It is extremely likely given the proxmity of both the location and the sighting dates that this was the same or a very similar object.
There are also two other sightings from Michigan, the state just south of Ontario, which happened in October 1965. While these may not necessarily have been directly related, this possibility still exists. Links to both the other reports can be found towards the end of this one.
It was between 4.30 and 5pm on a Sunday in September 1965. Mike and his friend Helen (who were 11 years old at the time) were playing outside on Old Highway 69 in Greater Sudbury, Ontario. The area is on the fringe of the city and is quite rural and sparsely populated. It was a clear and calm afternoon and there was nobody else around at the time. Mike and Helen were throwing a paint can lid back and forth to each other like a Frisbee. It went down a small gulley, so they went to retrieve it to continue their game.
Aerial map of Old Highway 69 showing approximate location of sighting:
Aerial map showing how far out from the main city of Sudbury the sighting location was:
Modern photograph of how the location looks today:
Looking up into the sky they suddenly noticed a large object in the sky to the East. It was cigar-shaped and appeared to be bright metallic white in colour. It was so brilliant that it appeared to be glowing. It is possible this was due to sunlight reflecting off its surface, although Mike does not think this was the case. It appeared to be about 30-50 feet in length and 15-20 feet in depth. The object was about a mile from their location and at quite low altitude. Mike estimates it was about 150 feet high. It was moving slowly, between 5-10 mph, in a North Easterly direction.
Mike's drawing of the UFO:
The children were amazed at what they were observing. It was clear that the object had no wings, tail or other visible attachments. They watched it travel slowly across the sky. Then suddenly without warning the object massively increased in velocity and flew away at an incredible speed, crossing the horizon in a couple of seconds! Mike and Helen looked at each other wide eyed in shock. They then ran home to excitedly tell Helen's mother what they had witnessed.
When they told her what they had seen, she took a loaf of bread out of the oven and said "Oh well, I guess the moon men are coming." Mike felt confused that she wasn't taking what he had said seriously, so ran home to tell his own parents. He had trouble in understanding why they did not share his sense of excitement.
The following day at school Mike put his hand up and told the class about the sighting. They all laughed at him. After this he did not talk about it much more. The reactions of both the parents and his school friends show that even back in the 1960s many people had an unwillingness to believe in UFOs, which is sadly still the case today.
This is a very convincing UFO sighting, and one which I feel was certainly a genuine craft. The object was clearly not an aircraft. At the distance and altitude it was seen at the wings and tail would certainly have been visible. If it wasn't for the stunning manoeuvres the object was seen to perform there is the chance that it could have been a white coloured blimp. However the instant acceleration to an extremely fast speed shows that it was something highly unusual and definitely not an inflatable, powered or otherwise. Due to the fact that the object was moving slowly at first for over a minute, it could not have been a daytime meteorite entering the atmosphere.
As it was daylight there is certainly the possibility that the UFO was observed by other people. However Mike says that the area was quite rural so not many people were about, at least in his location. Sadly Mike has not kept in touch with Helen and has not spoken to her in over 40 years, so I am unable to speak to her about what she remembers. However this is still a very impressive sighting, and through the correspondence I have shared with Mike I am convinced that it took place as he has reported.
Other Possible Sightings
As mentioned at the start of this report, another sighting of a glowing white UFO occurred in Sudbury within a month of this one. Due to the appearance of the craft and manoeuvres observed it is extremely likely to be the same or a similar object. There is a seperate case report on this incident.
The report on two UFO sightings which occurred in Michigan in October 1965 again has a seperate case report. While the appearance was not exactly the same they may still be related.

March 26, 2012 country life, Mondays at Maywood, wildlife Leave a comment bug-zappercarpenter beesmaywood livingmondays at maywood
The house is a-buzz
Friday afternoon, I came home to hear that Harper has a job. PopPop hired him to kill carpenter bees at the rate of twenty-five cents a bee. I have no doubt that Harper's eyes registered "ka–ching!" when he looked at all the carpenter bees buzzing around the house. With enough sunny days and the right equipment, he could retire before he gets to first grade.
Carpenter bees are big, slow, and clumsy like bumblebees. They drill into wood to lay their eggs. For us, that means they drill into the log siding of our house. The solid Southern yellow pine logs of the main structure of the house are too hard for them, but they do take to the parts of the house with just log siding. If we had realized this when we built the house, we would have probably bought the more expensive yellow pine siding. (I say "probably" because anyone who has built a house knows what "ka-ching!" sounds like!") As it is, we have carpenter bees drilling little holes in all the most inaccessible reaches of the house. The prescribed method of dealing with them is to hand-fill each and every hole with wood putty. Um….right.
Over the years PopPop has used a variety of methods to thin the population, but the most basic weapon in his arsenal is the tennis racquet. A racquet has a wide surface area for striking the buzzing nuisance and the strings provide a melodious "boing!" when said nuisance makes its final flight across the yard. So, Friday night, armed with a racquet and advice on how to wield it, Harper busily swooshed the air while John prepared the grill for our first burgers of the season. By dinnertime, Harper had earned a dollar. One of the bees was done in by the racquet, the other three were unceremoniously stepped on while rolling around on the driveway.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, I had the bug-zapper at hand for zapping wasps that sneak into the kitchen. We never know how they get in, but with the security of the bug-zapper we no longer have to scream for John to come save us. (I do not trust the accuracy of my aim to attempt to swat and anger any critter that could send me to the emergency room.) The bug-zapper looks like a tennis racquet but the strings are metal and it runs on batteries. With a mere touch of the electrified racquet, the bug is stunned, if not absolutely fried. For large critters, we hold the racquet over the bug until it smokes. Then we're sure it's dead.
The first bug-zapper I bought was from Wal-Mart. That one died when John tried to use it on a carpenter bee. Carpenter bees are too tough for the bug-zapper, so John swatted the bug-zapper against the house as though it were a real tennis racquet. Alas, it was not. Since then, we've gotten our zappers from Harbor Freight Tools. They last a long time if you don't smack them against the side of the house.
When John gets "serious"about attacking the carpenter bees, he resorts to bigger weapons than a tennis racquet. A a warm, sunny spring day may find John in the backyard with the Shop-Vac. At the end of the hose is taped a section of PVC pipe and the end of the pipe has a funnel attached to it. John can be seen stabbing the air to suck up carpenter bees. The view from the kitchen window is anything but serious as the bees are not visible and all one can see is John stabbing the air with an odd-looking vacuum hose.
When Harper gets a little taller he may find greater financial success in using the Shop-Vac method of bee removal. After a few more years of apprenticeship with PopPop, he may even come up with his own clever method. In the meantime, he can leap and bounce and swing and swirl to his heart's content, and earn some treat money while he does it.

Francis Demont (fl. 1716–1717) was a pirate active in the Caribbean. His trial was important in establishing Admiralty law in South Carolina.

History

Demont, along with fellow pirates Stephen James De Losey (or De Cossey), Francis Rusoe (or Rossoe), and Emanuel Ernandos (or Ernados), had captured the sloop Virgin Queen near Cuba, the ship Tanner in the Bahamas, and the ships Penelope and Turtle Dove off Jamaica around July 1716. The Turtle Dove's Captain testified that they had "imprisoned him and his crew in bodily fear of their life." The pirates were captured and tried in July 1717. Nicholas Trott presided over the Charleston trial. The pirates all pled not guilty. De Losey, Rusoe, and Ernandos were found guilty and hanged; Demont may have been executed as well, though sources differ, and he may have been acquitted.

Trying and executing pirates was a priority of newly arrived Governor Robert Johnson. Having established the authority of South Carolina's Vice-Admiralty Court (a November trial for piracy had resulted only in acquittals), Trott would later go on to preside over the trials of other pirates, notably Blackbeard's associate Stede Bonnet.

C L R James and Trotskyism
C L R James died on 31 May 1989, at the age of 88.
Born in Trinidad in 1901, he was an agitator for West Indian and African independence, and an associate of the pioneering West Indian and African nationalists; a militant in the US and British Trotskyist movement; a prominent mainstream Trinidadian politician in the late 50s and early 60s; a lone, aged prophet for the generation of black militants who became active in the 60s and 70s; and author of many books and articles on a wide range of subjects.

THE history of colonialism contains many scenes of half-naked

In the Middle Ages, Ethiopia was not underdeveloped.
Walter Rodney — a black Marxist historian assassinated in 1980 as he tried to build a working-class party in his native Guyana — wrote: "The kings distinguished themselves by building several churches cut out of solid rock. The architectural achievements attest to the level of skill reached by Ethiopians as well as the capacity of the state to mobilise labour on a huge scale.

Why Stalin Needs Slaves: Forced Labor Under Bureaucratic Collectivism (1947)
The experience of all ages and nations demonstrates that the work done by slaves, though it may appear to cost only their maintenance, is in the end the dearest of any ... [The slave] can have no other interest but to eat as much and to labor as little as possible. Whatever work he does beyond what is sufficient to purchase his own maintenance can be squeezed out of him by violence only, and not by any interest of his own. (Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations)

The work of economic reconstruction commenced immediately after the various barracks and buildings occupied by the fascists had been retaken by the armed workers, and it is being carried on parallel with the military activities against fascism. There was no question of patching up the capitalist framework — it was realised by the workers at the very outset that capitalism had failed in every respect and that a new social order would have to be established.

Under two flags: Constance Marklevicz, Irish Socialist and Irish Republican
The we!l-known author Tim Pat Coogan once remarked that Irish history has the only example of Communists and bourgeois nationalists joining together against imperialism in which it was the Communists who were gobbled up.
He was referring to the 1916 Rising and to what happened afterwards to the hundreds of socialist workersÑmembers of the trade union militia, the Irish Citizen ArmyÑwho took part in it together with the secretary of the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union, James Connol!Y, the military leader of the rismg.

Q: How to write html with javascript and display it on a slider? I have created a basic slider that runs through images every 5 seconds while using javascript. My slider works just fine, but I'm not wanting to use it as an image slider anymore. I'm wanting to create a div with some more html design features and post that within my slider instead of my images. Going by this code below, what would I have to change and add to make it work?
 <!doctype html>

 <title>Ad Slider</title>

Now instead of adding those images, how can I add this type of content but working the same way like the images were?

Some Content

A: There are plenty of ways to write what you're looking for. Here's an augmented version of your code... You can toss whatever HTML you want into the innerHTML.
In the future, you're better of using Google to read up on the basics of Javascript...

A: One of the easiest way is just to create an array of html you need, and than iterate through it inserting in each string as html in your holder div: here is an example from your question the only thing I used jQuery it is much easier that way.
 <!doctype html>

  <title>Ad Slider</title>

A Dinastia de Avis, ou Dinastia Joanina, foi a segunda dinastia a reinar em Portugal.  Após a morte de seu irmão D. Fernando, último rei da dinastia de Borgonha, D. João foi aclamado rei em 1385 perante as Cortes de Coimbra. A dinastia durou até a morte do Cardeal-rei D. Henrique em 31 de janeiro de 1580 sem deixar herdeiro legítimo.

Instaurada a crise de sucessão, chega ao trono o Rei Filipe II de Espanha, ou Filipe I de Portugal que, com sucessivas vitórias militares, apoio estrangeiro e da alta nobreza e clero locais, iniciou a União Ibérica através da integração de todos os reinos da dinastia de Habsburgo ou dinastia filipina ou dinastia de Áustria.

A Casa de Avis

D. João era filho natural de D. Pedro I, pai de D. Fernando e antecessor deste, mas não poderia galgar ao trono legalmente. A nova dinastia deu prosseguimento à linhagem consanguínea, visto que o novo rei era meio-irmão do soberano anterior.

A historiografia diverge quanto ao caráter revolucionário e popular do movimento de Avis. Parte dos historiadores considera que a crise de 1383 foi essencialmente popular e centrada na ideia de nação e soberania, responsável por uma consciência nacional radicada nas massas.

Por outro lado, e com maior destaque, outros teóricos consideram que o movimento foi a primeira revolução burguesa nacional, e não meramente popular. A ordem estabelecida foi dissolvida pela vontade majoritária da burguesia ascendente e da baixa nobreza. D. João foi o primeiro rei de Portugal eleito pelas Cortes, nas quais participaram os três estados, o da nobreza, do clero e o dos povos.

O Mestre de Avis assumiu o título de Regedor e Defensor do Reino depois de a população de Lisboa se revoltar, instigada por Álvaro Pais, contra a rainha regente, D. Leonor Teles na sequência da assassínio do seu favorito, o Conde de Andeiro. Os revoltados pretendiam evitar que ao trono subisse a descendência do casamento de D. Beatriz com D. João I de Castela, nos termos do Tratado de Salvaterra de Magos. Só nas Cortes de Coimbra de 1385 é que João I foi "eleito" rei de Portugal.

Durante a dinastia de Avis teve início a expansão atlântica portuguesa iniciada pela conquista de Ceuta (1415), fato intimamente ligado com a nova atenção que foi dada à burguesia, que financiou a crise, com a implementação de novas rotas e organização alfandegária.

Ascensão ao trono: Revolução de 1383-1385
De 1367 a 1383, Portugal esteve sob o reinado de D. Fernando I, último rei da dinastia de Borgonha, primeira dinastia portuguesa, e herdeiro legítimo de D. Pedro I (r.1357-1367). A política exterior desastrosa de D. Fernando criou um ambiente de indignação, uma vez que, no Tratado de Salvaterra de Magos, ele ofereceu em casamento a mão de sua filha única, d. Beatriz, ao rei de Espanha João I, união que colocava em conflito a legitimidade da sucessão hereditária e a soberania nacional a favor do reino vizinho.

Por não ter deixado um varão em sua descendência, D. Fernando teria como herdeiro do trono o filho de D. Beatriz com D. João I de Castela. Por outro lado, D. Fernando possuía dois meios-irmãos, D. João e D. Dinis. Por ser de origem bastarda, o primeiro representava antes a figura do "outro", que jamais poderia se tornar rei.

D. Pedro teve uma fascinante história de amor com D. Inês de Castro, assassinada por ordem e ação do rei Afonso IV em 1355. Depois da morte da amada, o infante se relacionou com outras mulheres e, de um destes envolvimentos, nasceu João, filho ilegítimo com uma dama galega, Teresa Lourenço, filha do comerciante Lourenço Martins, o da Praça e mãe de identidade ignorada. Como este não teria direito ao trono, Pedro, tornado rei, entregou a D. João o título de mestre da Ordem de Avis. O herdeiro do trono foi D. Fernando, seu filho legitimo.

D. Fernando se apaixonou por Leonor Teles, uma mulher casada de origem castelhana. Assim, para casar com ela, o rei ordena a anulação do casamento da amada, causando grande insatisfação popular. Desse casamento nascera D. Beatriz.

D. Fernando morreu em 1383 sem deixar varão em sua descendência. Seguindo o Tratado de Salvaterra de Magos, a rainha viúva D. Leonor assumiria a regência até que D. Beatriz tivesse um filho legitimo com seu marido João I de Castela e que chegasse a idade de 14 anos. Tal medida era vista como uma ameaça à soberania do reino português. A maior parte da nobreza, principalmente a de primeira linha, concordava em seguir o tratado de Salvaterra de Magos enquanto que os aliados ingleses, a nobreza de segunda linha e os comerciantes temiam a perda de soberania e repudiavam a regência de uma rainha de maus costumes e adúltera, já que mantinha um relacionamento com o conde espanhol João Fernandes Andeiro.

D. João conseguiu apoio dos ingleses e da nobreza secundogênita, não beneficiada com as benesses do reinado de D. Fernando, assim como dos comerciantes de Lisboa, que temiam a concorrência castelhana. Teve início a Crise de 1383–1385 em Portugal, chamada de Revolução de Avis. Após diversos conflitos, D. João I foi, ilegalmente, (pois à revelia do tratado de Salvaterra de Magos) eleito rei nas Cortes de Coimbra em 1385. Pela primeira vez um rei português foi eleito em assembleia popular com participação de comerciantes menores. Nesta altura, os comerciantes possuíam um poder econômico superior ao da maior parte dos fidalgos do reino, mas mesmo assim não gozavam de prestigio político. O contexto caótico possibilitou que angariassem uma posição de destaque, na constante tentativa de equiparação com a nobreza ou ascensão a ela. O conflito também possibilitou a promoção dos nobres secundogênitos de Lisboa que se posicionassem a favor do Mestre de Avis.

Com a destituição da regência de D. Leonor têm início os conflitos, o rei de Castela e genro da rainha regente, faz cerco na cidade de Lisboa. Entretanto, um pequeno exército português, comandado pelo general D. Nuno Álvares Pereira venceu os castelhanos na Batalha dos Atoleiros. A dita batalha ocorreu no Alto Alentejo em 6 de abril de 1384. Tratou-se de um combate de relevante importância política, psicológica e, claro, militar. Foi responsável por consolidar o partido de Avis e provar a possibilidade de vitória contra a Castela. A batalha foi militarmente decisiva ao impedir a junção das tropas castelhanas que invadiam o Alentejo com aquelas que já montavam o cerco a Lisboa. A batalha de Atoleiros pode ser considerada como precursora da grande vitória obtida em Aljubarrota, escassos quatro meses mais tarde.

Outro exército luso-castelhano, comandado por Beatriz e João I de Castela, invadiu Portugal, acontecendo em Aljubarrota (1385) uma batalha decisiva. Aproveitando as vantagens da colocação no terreno e utilizando táticas inovadoras aprendida dos ingleses, em número muito inferior, conseguiram outra notável vitória, a maior de todo o conflito. A paz definitiva com Castela só veio a ser assinada em 1411. Para assinalar o acontecimento, D. João I mandou edificar, no local, o Mosteiro de Santa Maria da Vitória, conhecido por Mosteiro da Batalha, onde há uma capela-panteão na qual jazem os príncipes da nova dinastia de Avis.

Aos populares e comerciantes e principalmente aos aliados ingleses, não faltaram esforços para o financiamento no pós-guerra. Os letrados tiveram grande importância no progresso do movimento, como por exemplo, nas relações diplomáticas para conquistar, formalmente, o  apoio da Inglaterra. A baixa fidalguia, que não gozava das benesses da dinastia estabelecida, apoiou a revolução visando futuros títulos e mercês.

O novo Rei não acabou com o poder senhorial a não ser na área de cada conselho. Os comerciantes que apoiaram e financiaram a nova dinastia tentou apoderar-se do poder senhorial, objetivando minimamente serem equiparados em direitos políticos e jurídicos com a alta nobreza com a obtenção de títulos nobiliárquicos.

No pós-guerra criou-se, em Portugal um governo forte e centralizado, possibilitando a missão cosmopolita com livre trânsito inglês, que passaram, diretamente, a influir sobre os rumos do reino, vez que estavam por detrás de toda táctica e acção militar que assegurou João I no poder. Indubitavelmente, foi o primeiro passo para lançar a expansão colonial portuguesa, já que facilitou a concentração de investimentos para a navegação. A nova nobreza portuguesa, desejosa de senhorios, terras e renda, exerce pressão sobre o poder central a favor da expansão, bem como os comerciantes, cada vez mais interessados em estabelecer novas rotas de comércio e exploração. Assim, são lançadas as políticas expansionistas joaninas em busca de rotas comerciais, exploração de ouro e terras. Surgem as primeiras feitorias portuguesas na África. Até a morte do Cardeal-rei D. Henrique em 1580 descobrir-se-ão mais de 80 léguas.

Fernão Lopes e a construção mítica da dinastia
Para legitimar a nova dinastia, D. Duarte , sucessor do Mestre de Avis, financiou a produção de crônicas régias. Para estar à frente desta iniciativa, o monarca escolheu o notário geral e guardador dos Arquivos da Torre do Tombo, Fernão Lopes (1380-1460). O cronista teve acesso privilegiado à documentação e, nas obras sobre as vidas dos últimos reis da dinastia de Borgonha, D. Pedro I e D. Fernando, e do primeiro de Avis, D. João I, assumiu papel de historiador na procura pessoal e interessada de atestação da veracidade das informações.

A Crónica de el-rei D. João I consiste em um complexo mítico de sagração e batismo do reino. Fernão Lopes modificou a imagem de D. João do "outro" para a de símbolo legitimo da identidade portuguesa. Para tanto, não recorreu significativamente à condição de bastardo do rei. Ao invés disso, utilizou elementos messiânicos para construir a mitologia em torno de D. João I, mestre designado pelo salvador para socorrer, com a ajuda dos ingleses e de Nuno Álvares Pereira, figura recorrente na obra, o povo português da dominação e tirania castelhanas que em realidade queriam fazer cumprir o tratado de Salvaterra de Magos assinado por D. Fernando I de Portugal.

A suposta dinastia de "Avis-Beja"
Na historiografia portuguesa, é recorrente a utilização do termo "dinastia de Avis-Beja" para se referir à dinastia de Avis.

Mas o termo aponta para a existência de um ramo secundogênito na Dinastia, iniciado a partir de um caso excepcional na história da monarquia portuguesa: a aclamação de D. Manuel I, 4º Duque de Beja, como herdeiro legítimo de todos os reinos e senhorios do seu primo direito e cunhado, o rei D. João II. Podendo passar despercebido já que a sucessão se manteve na mesma família, esta representou a refundação dinástica por iniciativas do próprio felicíssimo rei, através da reorganização e centralização da nobreza ao seu redor com a restauração de privilégios às casas de Viseu e Bragança; da reformulação legislativa do reino; e, daquilo que fora a principal marca do seu reinado, a continuidade da expansão do Império Português com a idealização e execução, à revelia da burguesia reinol e de facções aristocráticas, de um projeto ultramarino, com traços messiânicos, dirigido para o norte da África e o Oriente.

É importante ressaltar que o ducado de Beja foi um apanágio para a sustentação de Manuel no poder já que adquirido graças a sua lealdade e apoio incondicional a D. João II. Assim, mais do que um golpe de sorte, a aclamação do Duque se constituiu como um acontecimento já esperado porque silenciosamente engendrado por ele  –  sobretudo com a ajuda da rainha-consorte Leonor de Avis, sua irmã – , fato que revela a cautela e hesitação que marcaram o seu caráter.

Diante disso, a discussão sobre o termo é perfeitamente dispensável nos trabalhos sobre a história de Portugal no período avisino, pelo fato de não ter havido rupturas significativas com os elementos definidores da dinastia nos âmbitos político, legal e econômico. Entretanto, é necessário levar em conta que o seu uso implica o reconhecimento de uma grande mudança sucessória que alçou ao poder régio o segundo grau de descendentes do Mestre de Avis na segunda metade da dinastia que constituiu.

A luta de D. António, o Prior do Crato
D. Antônio, o prior do Crato (1531 - 1595), considerado como filho ilegítimo de D. Luís de Beja, irmão de D. João III, era o último representante da casa de Avis com a morte de D. Sebastião na Batalha de Alcácer-Quibir e do sexagenário Cardeal-rei D. Henrique. Ao reivindicar a coroa, D. Antônio poderia ser a única possibilidade de evitar o fim dessa dinastia e sua condição de "ilegítimo" não seria necessariamente um empecilho, haja vista que o fundador da casa, D. João I, também apresentava essa mesma condição. No entanto, as pretensões do Prior do Crato e dos seus apoiadores, os antonistas, enfrentaram forte oposição do próprio Cardeal e dos outros dois candidatos ao trono: D. Catarina de Portugal e Filipe II de Espanha, Rei de Castela. D. Antônio, inclusive, chegou a ser aclamado Rei de Portugal em 24 de junho de 1580 em algumas regiões portuguesas, sobretudo no ultramar, mas, em agosto do mesmo ano, frotas castelhanas tomaram o reino em nome de Felipe II.

Assim, D. Antônio acabou fugindo e, à distância, articulou várias tentativas de subir ao trono; sem sucesso, morreu exilado em Paris em 1595. Ainda assim, o antonismo sobreviveu por décadas, mesmo depois do exílio do Prior do Crato e possivelmente alimentado por um sentimento nacionalista. Por motivos evidentemente políticos, os cronistas oficiais da dinastia de Habsburgo e de Bragança  excluíram o prior do Crato da lista de reis de Portugal, fato que corrobora ainda mais a presença da discussão sobre o nobre na historiografia portuguesa.

Tigers still looking to make their mark

Albert Lea football falls to Fairmont on Homecoming
Tigers fans packed the stands Friday night to show their support for the football team as they wrapped up Homecoming week with a game against Fairmont.
Despite forcing three turnovers throughout the game, the Tigers came up just short of the Cardinals, 29-22.
The Tigers took the ball to start the game and after a couple runs from junior JJ Mucha Owens that were close to breaking for a big gain, they were forced to punt. The Cardinals and Tigers traded three-and-outs, until junior Braden Kraft made a big defensive play by intercepting a Cardinals pass — returning it all the way to their 30-yard line.

Albert Lea didn't let the tremendous opportunity slip through its fingers, as senior Cole Wentzel took the ball into the endzone a few plays later on a 13-yard run. After a successful PAT from junior Ismael Cabezas, Albert Lea took a 7-0 lead to the end of the first quarter.
The Cardinals scored shortly into the second quarter after a drive that stalled out from the Tigers. The touchdown came on a one-yard quarterback sneak and a successful kick led to the Cardinals tying the game at 7-7.
A mistake on their next offensive possession would cost the Tigers in a big way. During a punt attempt, the snap sailed over the punters head and was picked up at the 7-yard line. An attempt to advance the ball resulted in little gain, giving the ball to the Cardinals in favorable field position.

Fairmont scored on the next play with a 7-yard rush, but a missed PAT left the score at 13-7 in favor of Fairmont.
The Cardinals added to the lead after another punt from the Tigers. The score came on a deep 44-yard pass into the endzone.
Albert Lea got the ball back with little time left in the half, when senior Dane Brownlow recovered a fumble in Fairmont territory.
Again the Tigers made the most off a Cardinals turnover, with Wentzel catching a 28-yard pass from junior Logan Howe and took it into the endzone. Wentzel also took a short run across the plane to convert on the two-point conversion, making the score 20-15 as the teams went into halftime.
Albert Lea came out in the second half and continued big plays on defense by forcing another fumble that was picked up by Brownlow. However, a costly penalty moved the Tigers deep into their own territory, and another high snap on a punt sent the ball out of the endzone for a Tigers safety.

The Tigers forced three turnovers, two of which led to points, however, they also gave up two turnovers on punts that both led to points for the Cardinals.
"That's the game," said head coach Corey Black. "It came down to two plays. We gave up nine points with turnovers on punts that went awry. If we fix those mistakes, this game is in our hands completely. It's just another thing for us to go back and look at and get better at."
The Tigers forced a punt to take the ball back and scored on that possession to tie the game, once again, at 22-22. The score came on a break away 25-yard run to the outside from Mucha-Owens.

After both teams traded punts back and forth, the Cardinals connected on a deep shot downfield, putting the ball at the two-yard line. They punched the ball in on the next play to take a 29-22 lead with just over three minutes remaining.
Albert Lea's hopes of a comeback would be dashed after a leaping one-handed interception by the Cardinals gave them the ball where they would run the clock out.
"We feel a lot better this Friday than we did last Friday," Black said. "Next Friday were going to feel even better. We just have to keep on the positive incline and trust the process in everything we do, so we can be sure that when our time comes we'll be ready to go."
The Tigers fall to 0-5 on the season and play again Friday when they travel to play Tri-City United.

SAFF title not a 'special success', normal for India to win, says coach Stimac

India winning the SAFF Championships for the eighth time is not a "special success" as the country is dominant in the South Asian region and the bigger aim is to do well in the 2023 Asian Cup qualification, national football team head coach Igor Stimac said on Wednesday.
India won the regional tournament after beating Nepal 3-0 in the final in Male on Saturday to hand Stimac his first trophy with the team.
"I don't consider it (the SAFF title) as a special success because it is normal that India wins when it goes to SAFF but it demonstrates that we are very dominant in this competition and we can progress in our game a lot more," Stimac said at a virtual interaction.
He, however, admitted that his team was under a lot of "result pressure" after drawing Bangladesh (1-1) and Sri Lanka (0-0) in the first two round-robin league matches. The results had put India in danger of going out of the reckoning for the final.
India then beat Nepal 1-0 and hosts Maldives 3-1 in must-win matches before outplaying the Himalayan country 3-0 in the summit clash to stamp their authority.

"It was obviously a difficult situation we found after the first two matches but they looked bad only because of the results. There was no big difference in approach, the numbers and statistics, we had enough shots, scoring chances, movement and energy by players.
"We scored sometimes and didn't score sometimes and that made the difference. So, we had a lot of 'results pressure' on our shoulders but we dealt with it the way it should be and in the end, we won the trophy which was really important."
Stimac was speaking from Bengaluru after his return from the Maldives and he is leaving for Dubai Tuesday night with the U-23 national team, which he has taken charge of for the 2022 Asian U-23 Championships qualifiers in the UAE from October 25 to 31.
The Croatian gaffer said that the side's aim is to make it to the 2023 Asian Cup for which the qualification third round is set to begin early February next year.
That could be tricky as the Asian Cup qualification matches would be outside of the FIFA window and the federation will need to convince the Indian Super League organisers and clubs to release players for national duty.
"We don't know yet who we are going to play, we don't know our group yet. But we need to prepare ourselves because we have been told our first game will be on February 1.
"If we are going to succeed in this qualifier which are games to play outside the FIFA window, we need to sit down with other stakeholders in domestic competitions (read ISL), how much time the national team players will get for preparation."
The ISL organisers have issued the fixtures of the first leg of the league from November 19 to January 9. They have not yet announced the second leg fixtures.
He said the national team would need good preparation time to produce good results in the Asian Cup qualification matches.
"Otherwise, we are going to gamble, as simple as that," he quipped.
"Because the players will begin ISL season now and we need to make sure as soon as possible that this February opening of the third round of qualifications (for Asian Cup) is part of the ISL calendar so that the players are released for national team duty."
Stimac was also all praise for the talismanic captain Sunil Chhetri, who at 37 is one of the fittest players in the team.
"His influence is keeping the team going. He is a role model and leader off and on the field. He is the most passionate player in the dressing room and his fitness level is unbelievable.
"He is in the best shape possible and that is why he played in all the matches (of SAFF Championships). When somebody who can score better and who has better fitness (comes along), only then he can be replaced, otherwise you cannot replace him and he keeps on playing till the time he is with the team."
Chhetri netted five out of India's eight goals to emerge as the best player and highest scorer in the regional tournament in the Maldives.
He was named the most valuable player for the third time in as many appearances in the tournament, the earlier instances being in 2011 and 2015.
He was the highest scorer in the 2011 edition in New Delhi with seven goals while finishing joint second with three goals in the 2015 tournament in Thiruvananthapuram. India won all the three editions Chhetri has played in.

An A-Z Guide To The Search For Plato's Atlantis
Joining The Dots
I have now published my new book, Joining The Dots, which offers a fresh look at the Atlantis mystery. I have addressed the critical questions of when, where and who, using Plato's own words, tempered with some critical thinking and a modicum of common sense.

Argod, Robert
Robert Argod (1920-2000) was born in la Drôme, France. His adult life was devoted to maritime matters with a particular emphasis on the study of Polynesian shipbuilding and navigational techniques,*possibly including the remarkable Te Lapa method(a).*This led to the posthumous publication in English of a book[065] that controversially suggested that the Polynesians had originated in an ice-free Antarctica. Even more contentious was his belief that this habitable state of the continent was a consequence of polar displacement on a dramatic scale. He claims that such a catastrophic event had occurred more than once within the memory of man and that it is reflected in the mythologies of various peoples.
His inspiration has come from the work of Charles Hapgood, who did much to draw attention to medieval sea maps that were apparently based on much more ancient charts which showed an Antarctic coast free of ice. His theory is also founded on the concept of accelerated tectonic movements whose consequences are recorded in the ancient literature of many cultures. However in my opinion, Argod does not offer a credible mechanism that could explain such a cataclysmic series of events. He notes the Atlantis story of Plato as just one such record and specifically interprets the 8,000 years since the catastrophe as 'moon-years', which would recalibrate the date of the event to around the 13th century BC, coincident with the Egyptian battles with the Sea Peoples[p.254].
The introduction to Argod's book was written by Franck Goddio, the underwater archaeologist who had earlier discovered the remains of the city of Thonis-Heracleion offshore in Egypt's Aboukir Bay.

WTO's big moot postponed due to new Covid variant
GENEVA: Next week's World Trade Organization ministerial conference, the global trade body's biggest gathering in four years, was postponed at the last minute Friday due to the new Omicron Covid-19 variant.
The WTO hoped the four-day gathering in Geneva would breathe new life into the crippled organisation, which has been stuck for years trying to make progress on resolving issues like fishery subsidies.
New director-general Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was also hoping, against the odds, to make progress towards a deal on lifting Covid vaccine patents, proving the WTO had a relevant role to play in combating the pandemic.
But the conference was postponed four days before it was due to start, hours after Omicron was declared a variant of concern by the World Health Organization.
Fears surrounding the spread of the variant saw countries banning flights from southern Africa, where the strain was first detected on November 9.
"This has not been an easy recommendation to make," Okonjo-Iweala said.
"But as director-general, my priority is the health and safety of all MC12 participants — ministers, delegates and civil society. It is better to err on the side of caution."
WTO General Council chair Dacio Castillo called an emergency meeting of all 164 member states to tell them about the Omicron situation, including travel restrictions and quarantine requirements.
WTO says goods trade surging past pre-pandemic level
The members unanimously supported the postponement call.
Okonjo-Iweala said the travel constraints would have prevented many ministers from reaching Geneva, rendering equal participation impossible.
The beleaguered WTO's 12th ministerial conference (MC12) has already been postponed once before due to the pandemic. It was originally due to take place in Kazakhstan's capital Nur-Sultan in June 2020.
The WTO intends to reconvene "as soon as possible when conditions allow", said Castillo.
The conference normally takes place every two years.
It was expected to draw more than 100 ministers to Geneva, where the organisation is based, including heads of state, plus 4,000 or so delegates.
The gathering was being seen as a test of Okonjo-Iweala's ability to fulfil promises to turn around the crisis-hit institution.
The Nigerian former foreign minister, who in March became the first African and first woman to lead the WTO, has been widely hailed for her revitalisation efforts.
She has helped kick-start blocked trade negotiations, and made reaching a long-elusive deal to end harmful fishery subsidies a top priority for the conference.
She also stressed the urgency of agreeing on how to remove trade barriers blocking access to Covid-19 vaccines.
Ministers were also due to discuss calls for a temporary waiver on intellectual property protections for vaccines and other medical tools needed to fight the pandemic.
WTO says 2021 global trade recovery rests on vaccines
But Covid caught up with the conference before Okonjo-Iweala could even start banging heads together on the subject.
"This new variant reminds us once again of the urgency of the work we are charged with," she said.
EU Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis said the WTO had made a "difficult but wise decision" to postpone. "Rest assured: we will continue to work towards a successful outcome of the postponed ministerial in the meantime," he said.
Besides fisheries and Covid, the meeting was also set to chart a way forward for the WTO, amid widespread calls for reform of an organisation that was already facing numerous daunting challenges before the pandemic. In addition to its long inability to conclude major trade deals, it has grappled with rising trade tensions between the United States and China and a broken dispute settlement system. "There was little optimism around the outcome of the negotiations over the coming days," said Elvire Fabry, a trade policy researcher at the European Jacques Delors Institute.
However, she said the postponement was a bad turn of events which "prevents us from underlining that the US non-engagement encourages the inertia" around reforming the WTO.
Okonjo-Iweala urged delegations to maintain the negotiating momentum of recent weeks.

A quick look at Swiss Pure x Le Petit Prince, wasn't able to locate a store in Busan so I placed an order on G-Market. Way cheaper than any blogshop or online stores I found, even with shipping included.
It's hard to say no to the little prince!
I picked up a BB cushion (plus refill), Foundation cushion and a Eyeshadow Palette (01 Urban Bloom Rose).
The collection has a number of skincare but I passed on those as I am currently well stocked, but just couldn't resist the cushions and also the little eyeshadow palette.
Korean cosmetics always come in pretty packaging and they also give the best gifts with purchase.
Swiss Pure was running a "Buy 1 Petit Prince Item, Receive a Mirror" in-store, but I was not expecting to receive one with my package as it was an international order. But they sent me 3! Love the hand mirror and so handy too.
If you're a Le Petit Prince fan you should definitely check this collection out. Can't wait to start using them!
Hi Andrea, the Blue Cushion is actually a foundation pact so it gives a higher coverage. BB cushions have a sponge inside which is soaked in product, however this is a solid cream which you swipe with the provided applicator. You could also use a brush or blend it in with fingers. This is a bit heavier to wear compared to the BB but they are both great. Thank you for stopping by and I hope it helps!


So today is a great opportunity to walk the talk. I can model for my students what unity, dignity, and acceptance look like. I can show them that I stand with minorities, immigrants, and LGBT students. I will protect my students. I will show them that it's possible to disagree without denigrating. I will show them that bigotry is not tolerable. And I can explain that many voters, frustrated with economics, chose a businessman to try to create change. I will not express my personal disappointment or displeasure in who won. I will stress that the system worked.
It is a bittersweet day, isn't it! I, too, will get behind our new President even though I loathe him!!
Yes, the system worked. Confusing, though it is! Thanks for a lovely post.

XFL Tampa Bay Names Josh Bullock As Team President
The Tampa Bay Times is reporting that Josh Bullock is the new team President for XFL Tampa Bay. An official announcement from the XFL could come as soon as today.
Bullock was the senior associate director of athletics and the senior director of development with the University of South Florida since 2018. Before that, he was the Tampa Bay Rays' vice president of corporate partnerships. He held that position for seven years. He served as general manager for ISP Sports (now IMG College) at UCF from 2007 to 2010 and associate general manager for ISP Sports at Virginia Tech from 2004 to 2007.
Bullock said he wasn't looking to leave USF. But "Opportunities like this just don't happen in sports, to be part of building a professional sports franchise, to come in at the ground floor and be able to roll up your sleeves and really have impact," he said. "There's so many advantages to doing it this way, where your voice can be heard. There's not a whole lot of pre-existing rules and regulations. There's very little baggage to kind of sort through to get something going."
He will join Head Football Coach/GM Marc Trestman, Offensive Coordinator Jamie Elizondo and Defensive Coordinator Jerry Glanville. This leaves St Louis and Dallas as the only other XFL teams without a team President.
