tease it higher
Hairdressers in ancient Rome had a difficult job. Many high class women demanded raven-black hair or manes of golden locks. Neither was that easy to achieve. Hair dyes were made from walnuts, cuttlefish ink and gall. Rich matrons might wear caps of fine gold mesh, poor women used animal bladders instead.

"In those days, hair treatments required ingredients like decomposed leeches, urine and pigeon droppings.
A more highly sought after position was that of a flabifeller.
"Open to males or females, it involved carrying a fan for the mistress, flapping it on command. During the hot days of August, slaves might be in for some marathon fanning; most of the time, however, flabellifers were there for show, and knew it.
Musically inclined slaves nabbed the coveted fistulator positions, available only to those whose owners were public speakers. Fistulators carried a reed pitchpipe. To start, the fistulator gave a subtle toot or two so that the great man could proceed to orate at just the correct pitch. Gracchus, famed orator in republican times, was said to have been the first to flaunt a fistulator.

Sure those hair dyes didn't somehow involve toxic heavy metals, ma'am? Everything else cosmetic about ancient Rome seemed to…

i make rip hold a fan above my head daily..i never knew there was a name for it. btw did you know that the renaissance oil painters used to use pig bladders to hold their paint? true.
On July 24, 2009 at 8:58 am nursemyra said:
No, I didn't know that. My dad told me when he was a little boy in Ireland that he and his friends used pigs bladders as footballs (but not while they were still attached to the pigs)

And to think that today, celebrity entourages are really just party buddies or bodyguards. I yearn for the days when a being a hanger on meant subtly tooting a reed pitch pipe.
If you don't mind me asking, where do you find all this information? Amazing!
I just think of something I'd like to research and then type key words into google

Dumb question, I know. I was just picturing you with the world's most extensive library on home remedies, snake oil sales, and odd but interesting facts. Damn google, screws up all my mental pictures.
oh I've got that too! But I've used most of the information from my own library already. Check out my "Books Read" page and you'll see where a lot of ideas came from. I then use google to corroborate what I'm writing about so readers can check I haven't made it up

actually, leeches and cuddle-bone hair sounds a bit awesome, with black lipstick and nails and a steel bolt through the bridge of the nose (which makes it hard to breath or vomit), on a thursday night in the rain surrounded by muggles with piercing guns and murphy's irish red who compliment the chalky bone-colored hair before pulling it so hard the stud starts to bleed again and nobody has a proper camera, just a shitty point-and-shoot the bought out of the trunk of a car from a financial lackey at carrefour.

Women in ancient Egypt would set large cones of scented fat or wax atop their heads. The sun would melt the cone over the course of the day, leaving the woman coated in scented oil by the evening.
The things people do for fashion.

The Deep is an Australian/Canadian co-produced animated series based on the graphic novels by Tom Taylor and James Brouwer (see my review). It's a thrilling undersea sci-fi adventure in the vein of live action shows such as seaQuest DSV (see my review) and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (see my review), but with its own sense of style. Fun, fast and family-friendly, this is a show with cross-generational appeal.
The series follows the adventures of the Nekton family – father Wil, mother Kaiko, and their kids Fontaine and Antaeus (Ant). Aboard their hi-tech sub The Aronnax, they explore the ocean depths, help people in need and search for the lost continent of Lemuria.
Nine excellent episodes. There are no weak links in this batch. Stories range from dealing with sea monsters, pirates and rescues, to arc-driven episodes about the search for Lemuria. Each and every episode has a wonderful sense of adventure, celebrating the joy of exploration and discovery.
The real strength of this series, as with the graphic novels, is the characterisation. The series presents a positive depiction of family relationships and dynamics, with a racially diverse set of characters (something we desperately need more of on our screens). The CG animation works well at translating the style and feel of the original artwork by Brouwer. And the voice cast all do a great job of bringing the characters to life.
If you're looking for family entertainment that can equally enthral child and adult alike, you really can't do better than The Deep. Now, can we please get a move on and release the rest of the season?
The Deep: Monsters & Myths is released in Australia on DVD by Roadshow.
They have renewed the show for season 3 with 13 more episodes. The press release tells that the show is or will be available worldwide on Netflix in 2019. As far as I know they have already sold the show to 130 countries worldwide and now they start with a toyline by the Simba company late summer 2018. Still no more DVD editions worldwide and of course no Blu-ray Discs. I guess the Neflix deal will keep this exclusive to streaming for a while.
I really doubt a season set will ever be released on DVD in Australia, we are lucky to even get the the complete first season of The Deep released on DVD. Roadshow Entertainment frequently drop the DVD releases of cartoon series, it is rare for any cartoon series to be completely released.
I have yet to see the series, but you review makes me want to see it even more than I did before. As I have to be very careful with purchases I will hold out a bit longer before purchasing the DVD if it only has 9 episodes.
Yes… I'm hoping there will be a full season release eventually. Also, it is still available on ABC iView.

This late 30s almost 40 stage in life is not what I expected. When you are younger and you envision yourself at 40 you think it's "old". You believe life is going to be figured out by that point. You believe you are who you will be and there is no changing it. I am discovering none of that is true.
Yes, I am older. I certainly don't feel like the 18 year old me was convinced I would. I don't feel old or fragile. I don't feel like I need to eat dinner by 4pm to be in bed my 6pm. You see, I was clearly delusional about what being almost 40 left like. I feel good. I feel strong. I feel empowered by this stage in my life.
I was delusional to think I would have everything figured out. Now at almost 40 I don't think that will ever happen.
We are always learning new things. There will never be a day when I can say, "I have now learned everything there is to know." Sorry younger people that have hung their hat on that belief. It just isn't true.
Most importantly, I am discovering that this stage in my life involves a whole lot of self-discovery. It's a different form of self-discovery than we experience in our late teens and early twenties. It is liberating and refreshing. At almost 40 I am discovering things about myself that I love. I am discovering that my happiness is my priority. I am discovering that I do not have to make myself small for anyone. I am discovering that I don't need approval from anyone to embrace who I am as a woman.
This stage in my life is probably hard for some people in my life. As I discover so much more about myself and I grow it will make others uncomfortable. They will be uncomfortable because they aren't at this stage. It will be uncomfortable because changes to me make waves for them. If they truly love me they will grab a boogie board and ride these waves of change with me. If they are too afraid of the ocean I will understand and they can stand on the beach and watch.
I am loving this stage in my life. I am loving the woman I am and I am loving the woman I am still becoming. While some people run from 40 I am running towards it with my arms wide open.


If you've been listening in on the Sunday School class I'm currently teaching on Christianity and culture, you'll have noticed that I have been engaged the past two weeks in some serious polemics. "Polemics" simply means the art of dispute, or how to argue with others. Let me first recommend to you the late Roger Nicole's brilliant article, "Dealing With Differences." Read that, and deeply internalize it.
But I want to add some of my own thoughts about polemical theology, particularly how to avoid a serious argumentative fallacy. I'll call this some ABC's of Arguing With Others.
Let's say, for example, that you are in a disagreement with somebody who holds Views A, B, and C. Let's say that as you think about A, B, and C you work out logically in your mind that if somebody is consistent with A, B, and C, somehow, some way, somewhere down the road they are going to end up at Views X, Y, and Z. Now, you were already uncomfortable with A, B, and C. A, B, and C, to your mind, are questionable views. But X, Y, and Z... well, now, they are views that are completely unacceptable! A, B, and C are some things that maybe we could perhaps agree to disagree about. But let's say that X, Y, and Z are views that, say, are complete heresy and impossible for a Christian to hold. And, in the course of your disagreement, you have figured out that A, B, and C logically lead to X, Y, and Z.
Here's the principle you should remember: just because you have worked out that ABC logically leads to XYZ, does not mean the person you're arguing with has worked it out that way.
You cannot effectively argue with somebody by saying, "You believe in ABC? Well, then, you believe X, Y, and Z, too!" You see, they may not agree with you that A, B, and C leads to X, Y, and Z. They might see how it could possibly lead to X, Y, and Z, but they might also believe other things that keep them from getting there. If you want to argue fairly, if you want to argue in a God-honoring way, you will believe the best about your opponent. You will give them a charitable judgment, and not simply assume that because you've figured out that A, B, and C lead to heresy that your opponent is, therefore, a heretic.
We are all on a journey. You might have "got there" in your logical mind, but he might not have "got there" at all. You would be doing a grave injustice to tell this Jesus-loving, well-intentioned (but perhaps misguided) Christian that he's a heretic. All of this is to say that the principle I've articulated here, the ABCs of Arguing With Others, is nothing less than the second great commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself. Or, as Jesus put it so memorably, "Do unto others as you would have them to do you." In other words: interpret others the way you yourself would want to be interpreted. You do not want people jumping to conclusions and attributing to you things you don't believe. So don't do that to others. Interpret people in the best light possible, not the worst light possible.
The truth is that we all have certain roots in our theological outlook that, if taken all the way out to the extreme end of the logical road, would lead us into some heresy or another. We are often blinded by our own sin, by our own ignorance, by our pride, or by our natural limitations. We "see through a glass darkly," as Paul put it.
But here's some good news: By God's grace, we very often are not consistent at all with our bad theologies. By the grace of God, we don't get from our bad ABCs to the heretical XYZs. Spurgeon once said that "Every Arminian is a Calvinist when he prays." A clever phrase, yes. But also deeply, deeply profound. A consistent Arminian who believes that God is impotent to change people would not pray for others. And, yet, in God's grace, a vast multitude of Arminians nevertheless get on their knees and pray for their friends, their co-workers, or their family members. God often helps us to be happily inconsistent.
Recognizing this fact will help us to keep the Golden Rule when arguing with others, to believe the best about them, and not leap right off the bat from the ABCs to the XYZs. This doesn't mean we can't try to persuade our friends that their ABCs lead to XYZs. But it does mean that we will initially treat them as if they haven't already got there. And, as a practical benefit, if you keep this Golden Rule or the ABCs of Arguing With Others, you're far more likely to persuade them! Keeping this in mind will produce fruitful and edifying debate, not, as is far too often the case in theological debate, self-righteousness and dissension.
Kevin DeYoung's Review of Rob Bell's "Love Wins"


We love hearing stories of how our brides and grooms met. This story goes back to school days. Although, back then, (as Homa said in her speech) they would have both laughed out loud if anyone had said they'd be together and they would never have imagined that they'd end up marrying each other… and the funny thing is when you see them together they are absolutely the perfect match.
We've really enjoyed getting to know Homa and Ben and one of the things that's so fab about them is how real and fun they are together. They never take themselves too seriously and have great banter with their friends and family, who obviously mean so much to them. You only have to look at their friends shots below to see what a great bunch of pals they have.
The Atrium was the only possible venue that could have been selected for their wedding reception as Ben's parents are the owners of this award winning Edinburgh restaurant. The wedding breakfast was the most beautiful we've tasted in seven years of photographing weddings (thank you guys for inviting us to taste it!). Think homemade brioche and breads, home cured salmon and cambridge creams… yum!
Homa and Ben your wedding was such a special day and an awesome party. Thank you for letting us join in and for being so much fun to photograph (we loved your two dresses Homa – not sure which was the fave?) We have so many highlights from your wedding, so here's a select few for now… looking forward to catching-up and showing you all your pictures.
p.s thank you so much for all your hard work on the day, you added such a fun element to the photos, all our guests loved you both, you're more than welcome for the food too!
Waves of happy memories flooding back. Really was the most amazing day, a wonderful celebration. Niels and Ali, you are fantastic.
Last image is my favorite, not sure if you work with video lights to balance the light, but it look very nice, like it.
Great job, will pop along more often.
I was the makeup artist of Homas wedding, how are you? I was just wondering if its possible to stick these few pics up on my website and blog. http://www.sarahdacruz.com. They are beautiful pictures, and it was very nice to meet you.

Q: Display name instead ID modal dropdown in angularjs there is a dropdown of country and state when I select country of name I have to pass id of country but after click event it should pass id but display as name how can I make it please guide
<md-select name="state" id="state" placeholder="Select a state" md-no-asterisk="true"
        ng-change="getCounties(state)" ng-model="state">
        <md-option ng-repeat="item in state track by id"
            value="{{item.id}}">
            {{item.name}}
        </md-option>
    </md-select>

    {{AddressState}} /* This should be name instead of value how can i display this ? */

        Edit

        controller.ts :
        $scope.AddressState = state;

A: Don't use state as your ng-model since state is already your data source. Consider instead using an object to capture all user input, with state as a property. Your ng-model will capture the ID on user selection, which is what you want, and you can use that to get the state name.

angular.module('myApp', [])
  .controller('myCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
    $scope.userInput = {
      state: {}
    };
    $scope.state = [{
      "name": "Califoria",
      "id": 1
    }, {
      "name": "Texas",
      "id": 2
    }]

    $scope.getCounties = function() {
      // $scope.userInput.state is updated autmatically with the ID
      console.log($scope.userInput)
      // the associated data can be found using
      let state = $scope.state.find(s => s.id == $scope.userInput.state)
      $scope.selectedState = state.name; // for display

    }
  }]);

  <select ng-model="userInput.state" ng-change="getCounties()">
    <option ng-repeat="item in state" value="{{item.id}}">
      {{item.name}}
    </option>
  </select>

 {{selectedState}}

Youth Exchange Program: Cultural diversity for mutual understanding, dialogue and development
The reason behind the youth exchange program: to participate in various activities that creates the most powerful act of cultural exchange and community service. The youth from the Diaspora are a part of a different community that is far from home yet very similar to their own, especially in regards to core values. While participating in cultural exchanges and community service, the participants begin to reflect on the ways of their own people and culture, noticing many of the small details of their own culture. This reflection results in deeper understanding and greater appreciation of one's identity.
The Volunteer Experience: "Visit Eritrea and experience the day to day life."
Written by NUEYS Admin
"Visit Eritrea and experience the day to day life."
Date Release, March 14 2009 By NUEYS Staff
These were the words of Abeba Michael. Abeba is a young Eritrean who lives in Sweden. Abeba spent 6 months with NUEYS working in the Foreign Affairs Department; she also spent a significant amount of her time volunteering at the orphanage in Asmara. Excerpts:
Q: Abeba, let's begin our discussion by you telling me about yourself: Where were you born, where did you grow up, and what you do in Sweden?
A: I was born in Asmara in 1988 but I moved to Sweden with my mother when I was eight months old and I have lived there ever since.
Q: Is this your first visit to Eritrea?
A: The first time I came to Eritrea was in 1992 and the second time was in 2001. I was very young at the time so I hardly remember any of it.
Q: Right. What do you do here now?
A: I'm working at NUEYS Foreign Affairs Department and when I am not there I am spending my time with my family and trying to get to know the country better.
Q: How do you find your voluntary work here?
A: So far it's been very good. The people at NUEYS are very nice and have made my stay there very pleasant.
Q: Do you have any message for the youth in the Diaspora?
A: When it comes to the youth that have lived most of their lives abroad, I would advise them to come to Eritrea by themselves to see and experience the day-to-day life because at the end of the day their Eritrean background is a very big part of them and something they should acknowledge and discover.
The Volunteer Experience: A chat with Huriat Aklilu
A chat with Huriat Aklilu
NUEYS' Menesay (Youth) magazine had conducted an interview with Huriat Aklilu. Huriat spent a year and a half to complete her full national service. Here are some excerpts of the English version of the interview as translated into English by Hermon Gedle
Q: Let us begin by your name; who picked it for you?
A: It's my parents who chose it. They were in their youth still; it was during the late 80's that they went to Canada and I am told that they used to have a breath taking love even before I was born. During the time I was born, there was a glowing sight of the coming of peace in Eritrea and every Eritrean was waiting desperately to feel the air of freedom. My Dad's name is Aklilu Yehedego and Mom's is Yodit Gebre Ezgiabher, the two of them have a love of their country and they always believed that the secret of the Eritrean people's existence is entirely dependent on their unity; so somehow to dedicate to this unity and the great thirst for freedom led them to come up with my name, Huriat, which means Freedom.
Q: When were you born?
A: 1989; I was born in Calgary, West Canada
Q: When was your first visit to Eritrea?
A: During the summer of 2001, it was at that time; I was celebrating my twelfth birthday. I came for my aunt's wedding and I was able to see Asmara, Nefasit, Ghindae, Gergesum and Massawa.
Q: So how did the life of Sawa welcome you?
A: Good. It was not something new to me. Before Sawa, I was able to take the political class given by NUEYS at Tsaeda- Christian. During my time there, I was experiencing the same life style as Sawa. There was a social life of eating together, learning together and spending the day and night together, which is more like Sawa
Q: What did you learn from Sawa?
A: I increased my confidence and I started to believe that I can overcome any challenges that I face in life.
Q: What message would you want to pass to the youth all over the world via our youth magazine?
A: I don't have much to say. I took my country's national service and the military training, and it has helped me to express myself more than any other time and to be strong when hardship comes on my way. I want every person of my age to be part of this experience.
The Volunteer Experience: "If you want to have a say in the future of the country, you need to be involved in the country's interest and issues" Yafet Askale, a young Eritrean volunteer
"If you want to have a say in the future of the country, you need to be involved in the country's interest and issues" Yafet Askale, a young Eritrean volunteer
Date Release, February 25 2009 By NUEYS Staff.
Yafet had spent 8 months volunteering with NUEYS in the Project Department. Excerpts:
Q: Welcome Yafet. First tell me a little bit about yourself, where were you born? Where did you grow up? What do you do in the UK, and how was your visit back home?
A: Well my name is Yafet Askale, I was born in Asmara but moved to London when I was 9 thus spent most of my life in the UK. Before I moved back home to Asmara I was a student in England; I just graduated last year in International Relation & International Business from Royal Holloway University of London. The reason for my visit home is because I wanted to play my part and help my country within my own capacity in its developments.
Q: Is this your first visit home and how do you find Asmara?
A: No, it's not my first visit home. I used to visit Eritrea annually in the past before 2002 but have not been able to do so since I started collage (A level) in the academic year 2002/2003. I love Asmara.
Q: Do you have any message to fellow young Eritreans in the Diaspora?
A: My message to follow Eritreans who reside abroad is to come and visit their country and see for themselves how it has changed and developed over the last few years. I would also like to advise them to get involved in Eritrean issues and play their part in the development of their country.
Q: Anything else you want to add?
A: I don't think it's right to criticize or even comment about Eritrean government, economy or development, when you do not want to play any part in the country's development or future.

Changing the pattern of lending business
19 July 2017:Mumbai- We Indians are on second number when it comes to big fat and royal wedding. Wastage of resources is now taken to next level. For those who desire for destination wedding or stunning dress and makeup by celebrity designer's, or gourmet food for visitors Tata capital offers its first kind of 'wedding loans' to make wedding day extraordinary and memorable. Applicant can borrow up to Rs.10 lakh at a steep interest and at convenience. There is no difference between personal loans and wedding loans but Tata capital is targeting customers in late 20s and early 30s. "Borrowers are people who can afford to get married, but are looking for a lifetime experience to make the wedding special". As per the company's internal studies and the mind-sets were changing and as the wedding experience lasts for lifetime, customers were open to indulging a bit more, provided there's liquidity. These are unsecured loans therefore conventional banks are not comfortable with providing loans to them who do not own a bank account with them, but the Tata capital neglected to expand business. NBFCs started in year 2007 it developed as full service non-banking lender with an asset book with access of Rs. 52,000 crore within a decade.
As per SBI report India may delay implementation of Basel III norms
12 October 2017:According to SBI report, India could possibly delay the implementation of global risk norms Basel III and the banking sector is under stress post demonetisation and the rollout of the GST. "We believe that Indian banking sector needs some time to assimilate the impact of past three structural changes (demonetisation, GST implementation and RERA) before facing the new ones," said the SBI Ecowrap in the report - 'Timing Future Reforms in India'. "Even as we acknowledge the positive impact of such reforms, we are convinced that perhaps the Indian banking sector deserves a small interregnum so as to meaningfully concentrate on issues related to financial inclusion, asset quality and credit growth," it said. As per the direction of RBI, the Basel III capital regulation is being implemented in phases from 1st April 2003 and will be fully adopted till March 31, 2019. India has seen three major structural reforms which are impacting Indian economies such as GST, demonetisation and RERA. Country's banking sector is currently going through tough times due to low credit growth, low profitability and also deterioration in asset quality.
Housing for All Mission will gain an upward thrust in the affordable housing segment
1 August 2017:Housing has been a perennial problem for the policy makers. Approximately there is a shortage of 18 million housing units in the urban areas. However, providing the required number of houses will not help in solving the problem. 90% of the houseless people are the ones who cannot afford to buy a house in the urban area. The facts have come to light after the announcement of the Pradhan Mantri Yojana in May 2015 which aims to build 20 million houses for the urban poor by May 2022. A person who already owns a home can also apply for the scheme if he/she wants to expand the area of the existing house. To promote this scheme it was given a special status in the Union Budget 2017. The prices in the Affordable Housing segment are likely to dip in the near future. Considering this all the stakeholders should take advantage of the Housing for all by 2022 mission and make it a grand success.
Ghatkopar collapse survivor worried about housing loan EMI
1 August 2017:Most residents of sai-darshan society in Ghatkopar, which collapsed on July 25, are still counting their losses. One of the residents of the society Mr. Vinod Thak is faced with repaying the housing loan he took to buy a flat in the same building. Mr. Thak has taken a loan of 50 lakh seven months ago to buy a flat on the third floor. After losing his mother and sister-in-law, in the collapse, he is still struggling to deal with the situation. "I am completely torn apart. I don't know what to do. I'm supposed to pay the EMI on Tuesday, but why and how should I pay? I have lost my property," he said. "I'm going to meet the bank executives and I hope they will give me some relief on humanitarian grounds. I need to hear their side too. I will file my submission for relief." Srinivas Chaudhary, a relative, demanded the government expedite the process of rehabilitating survivors. "I heard that Modiji has announced monetary relief. While this is welcome, we want our home back as soon as possible. So far, survivors are living with relatives." Shiv Sena worker Sunil Shitap was arrested last week in connection with the building collapse.

The RBI is scheduled to start monetary policy review on October 4. Investments in the PPF scheme will get an annual rate of 7.8% while KVP investments will profit 7.5% and complete in 115 months. The one for girl child savings, Sukanya Samriddhi Account Scheme will offer 8.3% annually. Similarly, the investment on 5-year Senior Citizens Savings Scheme will profit 8.3%. The interest rate on the senior citizen's scheme is paid quarterly.

Vijaya Bank, Dena Bank planning of a merger
23 September 2017:While higher recapitalization for PSU banks is still in talks, the government is also not dropping ball on an issue like consolidation in the banking space. Vijaya Bank and Dena bank are discussing the synergies and pros and cons related to it. The alliance would be based on geographical outreach of both the banks. The board of both Vijaya bank and Dena bank are looking at each other's balance sheet and discussing future liabilities. Vijaya Bank reported 57% jump in Q1 profits to 255 crore rupees while Dena bank narrowed losses to 133 crore rupees and rose to 17.37% as of June 2017. Dean bank is currently looking at improving profitability. Thus, capital requirement post-merger will increase in light of Dena Bank's high NPA. If blessed by the govt, merger could be completed by end of this fiscal
Festive offers, lower home loan, car loan EMIs are on their way as RBI cut repo rate
3 August 2017:RBI's decision to cut its repo rate by 25 basis points to 6 percent is likely to lead to a further cut in the lending rates, especially home and car loans. "Home loan rates could come down to around 8.2% per annum on an average. So, the new borrowers can expect EMIs to come down and which would also cut down the interest outgo over the loan tenure. Banks may come also up with promotional offers till festival season to attract more customers," Rishi Mehra, CEO of Wishfin.com said. Mehra also said that the old borrowers under the MCLR regime have to wait for the next reset period to get the rate reset while the base rate customers can shift to MCLR regime to take advantage of the lower rates.
The RBI governor Urjit Patel, in his post monetary policy press conference, has said that the transmission of previous rate cut has been strong in the home loan and personal loan segment. The RBI governor hoped that similar transmission of lending rate cuts are made effective in other loan segments too.

Finance minister asks PSBs to back stressed small businesses
09 Jan 2018: The finance minister has asked state-run banks to provide special packages for small and medium enterprises. According to the govt such enterprises are critical to jobs and thus they must have easy access to finance and market. Finance minister Arun Jaitley had told banks at a conclave last year- "One of the focus areas banks have taken up is to support MSMEs because the sector creating jobs and giving boost to the economy has no access to international finance or the bond market." Banks will also synergise their lending through Mudra Yojana, Stand Up India and Start-Up India to the MSME sector. The govt will also initiate a drive to put MSME products on government e-Marketplace. It has also registered all major suppliers on the Trade Receivables e-Discounting System (TReDS).


I have decided to take the plunge and join in the 2015 Holiday Sweat Challenge!
You may know this annual event from years gone by as the Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge that was started by Amanda Brooks from Run to the Finish... well now she has joined forces with Sweat Pink and is has gone through some changes.
It appears to be more fun and less competitive than it came to be in the past so I am looking forward to giving it a whirl.... if you are interested, click on the logo and find Amanda's post with all the details.
It promises to be an 8 week journey of workouts, prizes, support and community building. Sounds like a winner. Use the hashtag #HolidaySweat to follow along and share your own sweaty efforts!
Won't you join me? How do you plan to stay active through the holidays?
If you are looking for some ways to keep up with your fitness during the holiday season, check out this post for some other tips.
I like the idea of a little more fun and a little less competition, I had stayed away in the past, but maybe it's time to check it out again. Thanks!
Im all in for anything less competitive.
I usually train right through the holidays. It definitely makes it more manageable.
If I wasn't marathon training I'd totally join in!
So fun! Though I can't believe we're talking about the holidays already! EEK!
I'm not sure if I'm going to do this yet...I feel a little burnt out by marathon training and all these challenges!
I am taking a break form promising I can participate in things because there has been so much tumult this past year. I am saving it all for 2016!
I'm thinking I may do this challenge, but I haven't totally committed yet. I'm doing a strength training program that I just started, but I may do them both!!
I've signed up too! I never participated so I'm looking forward to seeing what's all involved!
I've never done it before because it seemed too complex to track activity. But if you say this year may be better, perhaps I should take the leap?
Definitely going to check this out for the holidays!
I'm doing it! I need the reminders to keep moving - even if I don't actually track all of my numbers LOL.
I've done Amanda's challenge in the past. It will always be a favorite.
Sounds like a lot of fun!!! I haven't done the challenge before, but I may join in the fun this year!!
8 week challenge sounds perfect for this time of year...I'm going to check it out!
I don't like doing challenges since I can never commit!


It was spring when I started doing contemplation, and in Denver, spring can be a raging blizzard one day and seventy-five degrees the next. It had been cold that spring and I used to always go to the church during the noon hour to do contemplation, because all the staff had lunch together and I knew I had a block of time when the church would be basically empty. It was very quiet then, warm, peaceful and safe. This lasted about a week or so.
So, I did my "pre-contemplation" prayers and composed myself on the bench and closed my eyes. A few seconds later I realized that it had suddenly gone silent. What happened? What could have suddenly gotten every one of those children to be totally silent? Had something frightening appeared in the playground? I opened my eyes and in my line of sight was the clock at the end of the church facing the sanctuary, the clock with the large face so that Father can keep an eye on the time during Mass.
I had closed my eyes and opened my eyes and 27 minutes had passed.
It freaked me out a little bit. I thought what some of you might be thinking, could I have fallen asleep, I asked myself. Nope. The chance of me falling asleep sitting bolt upright on a hard wooden bench doesn't even approach slim. I was in precisely the same position, head up, as when I began. Besides, I know what it feels like to fall asleep and wake up, I didn't feel like that. How did I feel?
Like I'd been gone. I felt as if I had been "taken into eternity," which is how I came to characterize it. I had simply disappeared into God. Close eyes, open eyes. That's all. This became a pattern, this being gone. The result of that was that I would "know stuff." That first time, what I knew was that God was not Father, Son and Holy Spirit, though He is that, also. But that God was …. beyond. Beyond any possible limits of the universe. So far away that the idea of distance becomes irrelevant. So close, it takes less than a moment to reach Him. Beyond any kind of idea we can ever have of Him. Beyond being a "Him" or an anything at all that we can imagine. And somehow, this knowing I had no idea what God is, imparted an even greater certainty in me that God is absolutely real. More real than the keyboard I type on, more real than any thing I can name or see.
And I knew what I knew was true and it kind of scared me because what is that? Am I even allowed to think that? But what could I do? I did think that, know it.
I knew something else, that didn't scare me, but would have if someone had explained it before it happened: I was gone. I don't think my physical body disappeared (though in fact I wouldn't know if it had) but that the "I" - the "me" - disappeared into the One. The perfect peace, all knowing, wonder of God. And if this is my fate at death, to be eternally lost as individual but oned with God, I am all for it.
Of course, this is one of the reasons having a spiritual director can be a good thing. While this revelation was new to me, it was not different from what mystics have been saying for all time. And any way that we each have of configuring the Father, Son and Holy Spirit of God in our minds is probably as accurate as any way anyone does and none of that comes close to describing or conceptualizing God. But I wonder if this is why having a spiritual director can be a drawback? I didn't have anyone to rush off to tell and have this explained to me. I only had one option: to go back to the Source, again and again and to trust the information downloads and to look more and more deeply into the Spiritual theology of the Church.

Cherokee Nation Views COVID as Impetus to Increase Domestic Production
"We are also looking at COVID, not as some opportunity to exploit but an opportunity to do better in the future," shared Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr. during the Native Business Virtual Summit live broadcast.
Federal dependency has weakened Indian Country.
"One of the things that troubled me is that the United States is the wealthiest country on the face of the Earth. And yet, last spring, somehow we were running out of masks in this country. That struck me as just abysmal, and we can't have that," Hoskin continued.
"So I determined, and my deputy chief and our Tribal Council, we determined that never again will Cherokee Nation be at the mercy of the government of the United States when it comes to something as simple as PPE for our health care workers," he stated.

Interim Clinical Guidance for Management of Patients with Confirmed Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)
This document provides guidance on caring for patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have published guidelines for the clinical management of COVID-19external icon prepared by the COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel. The recommendations are based on scientific evidence and expert opinion and are regularly updated as more data become available.
For guidance related to children with COVID-19, please see the Pediatric Considerations section below.
The incubation period for COVID-19 is thought to extend to 14 days, with a median time of 4-5 days from exposure to symptoms onset.(1-3) One study reported that 97.5% of people with COVID-19 who have symptoms will do so within 11.5 days of SARS-CoV-2 infection.(3)
The signs and symptoms of COVID-19 present at illness onset vary, but over the course of the disease many people with COVID-19 will experience the following:(1,4-9)
Fever or chills
Muscle or body aches
Congestion or runny nose
Symptoms may differ with severity of disease. For example, shortness of breath is more commonly reported among people who are hospitalized with COVID-19 than among people with milder disease (non-hospitalized patients).(10, 11) Atypical presentations of COVID-19 occur often, and older adults and people with medical comorbidities may experience fever and respiratory symptoms later during the course of illness than people who are younger or who do not have comorbidities.(12, 13) In one study of 1,099 hospitalized patients, fever was present in only 44% at hospital admission but eventually 89% of patients had a fever sometime during hospitalization.(1) Fatigue, headache, and muscle aches (myalgia) are among the most commonly reported symptoms in people who are not hospitalized, and sore throat and nasal congestion or runny nose (rhinorrhea) also may be prominent symptoms. Many people with COVID-19 experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, sometimes prior to having fever and lower respiratory tract signs and symptoms.(9) Loss of smell (anosmia) or taste (ageusia) has been commonly reported, in a third of patients in one study, especially among women and younger or middle-aged patients.(14)

Painted with cheetah spots and cotton candy pink fur, the polished pooches in photographer Paul Nathan's "Groomed" series are better suited for a high-fashion runway than the pet store. New York-based Nathan provides a (colorful) look into the world of creative dog grooming, which is equal parts delightful and totally bizarre.
Paul Nathan was born in Auckland, New Zealand, though he now works and resides in New York. While Nathan focuses on beauty, portraits and editorial fashion, he has published two books on dogs, including Groomed and Couture Dogs of New York.
Many of the images in Nathan's books come from his time at high-end events like Intergroom, the world's premiere pet grooming conference, that feature grooming competitions and educational seminars. Creative dog grooming is a thriving pet subculture, and it's not uncommon for dog groomers to attend these events dressed to match their pooches.
Animal lovers, rest easy. The individuals behind these creative dog grooming designs always make the pet's safety and happiness their first priority. To create the bright designs captured in Newman's series, professional groomers wield styling tools and semi-permanent hair dye, coloring and primping the dog in styling sessions that can span a few days (though each individual session lasts no more than a few hours, to ensure that the dog is comfortable).
Unlike red carpet hairstyles, these dog looks can last anywhere from a few washes to a few months. Nathan claims that only a few top dogs have the patience required to become the artist's canvas.
Finally, check out some of humanity's most truly weird pets.


Lundin Petroleum AB (Lundin Petroleum) has announced that the offshore installation of the Johan Sverdrup development project has been completed.
Following the installation of the riser and drilling platforms in 2018, the remaining topside facilities, consisting of the processing platform and living quarters and the relevant bridge links, have now been successfully installed offshore at the field location, using the single lift Pioneering Spirit vessel. The fully installed Johan Sverdrup offshore facility consists of four jackets and topsides, three bridges to link the platforms, oil and gas pipelines connected to onshore facilities and the cable to connect the field with power from shore.
With all infrastructure now installed, hook-up and commissioning of all four platforms will take place alongside the tie-back of the eight pre-drilled production wells, ahead of expected first oil in November 2019.
During phase 1, Johan Sverdrup will produce 440 000 bpd when plateau production is reached, increasing to 660 000 bpd after phase 2 commences in the fourth quarter 2022. At phase 2 plateau, Johan Sverdrup will contribute up to 25% of Norway's total production of oil and gas, while power from shore gives the field carbon emissions intensity of just 0.67 kg CO2 per barrel, which is among the lowest in the world and 25 times lower than the oil and gas industry average. Lundin Petroleum's production guidance when Johan Sverdrup Phase 1 reaches plateau in mid-2020, is above 150 000 boe/d and increases to over 170 000 boe/d when Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 reaches plateau in 2023; this will be achieved whilst maintaining an industry leading low operating cost per barrel of between US$3.2 to US$4.2 per boe.
"What a remarkable achievement and journey Johan Sverdrup has been. The completion of the offshore installation on schedule and significantly below budget is a major project milestone and we can now focus on the offshore commissioning and tieback of the pre-drilled wells. The record single lift installation using the Pionneering Spirit vessel, has allowed the project to greatly optimise and reduce the offshore commissioning phase, to firmly put the project on track for first oil, expected in November this year. I'm very pleased with the progress of this world class project; Johan Sverdrup will be simply transformational for Lundin Petroleum and all its stakeholders and will generate outstanding long-term value creation".

The leadership of a new, marquee pharma manufacturer approached KPMG with a paradox: It was certainly marquee, but not new. As the highly publicized spin-off of a global health services conglomerate, the company began life with $18 billion in annual revenues, an established product pipeline and instant membership in the S&P 100. Reliant on the back office functions of its parent, it needed to quickly acquire the back office sinews of a truly stand-alone company: ERP systems and core processes for finance, operations and human resources.
During an intensive three-year engagement, KPMG brought the vision of the company's leaders to life, working towards a target operating model through the disciplined implementation of new systems, processes, training and staffing. The multidisciplinary approach eventually touched the lives of every one of the company's 21,000 employees, in 170 countries. And as KPMG's delivered tangible results, something intangible emerged – a new company culture, independent in name, spirit and operational fact.

Stars club together to help our Snowball
GOLF-MAD celebrities turned out in force to support the Evening Telegraph's Snowball Appeal.
Snooker star Ronnie O' Sullivan, soccer commentator Clive Tyldesley and DJ Spooney were among the stars at the charity Pro-Am day at Meriden's Forest of Arden Golf Club.
Sports professionals, stars of stage and screen and executive teams chipped and putted their way around the lush green course ahead of the start of today's Daily Telegraph Dunlop Masters event.
Stars were there to raise money for sick and disabled children in Coventry and Warwickshire.
Ex Boyzone singer Ronan Keating also joined the fun with top professionals including Colin Montgomerie, Darren Clarke, Lee Westwood and Ian Woosnam.
Usually to be found spinning the decks as part of Radio One's Dreem Team, DJ Spooney was one of the celebs to show he was quite handy with a golf club too.
TV presenter and football pundit Tim Lovejoy, of Sky Sports' Soccer AM, completed one of the four celeb teams with professional Ian Poulter.
The event was the first on British soil of this year's European tour.
The professional competition, which kicks off today, has a record prize fund of £1.7 million, with £283,330 up for the winner.
Money was raised for the Evening Telegraph/Mercia FM charity through a number of competitions, but the amount raised has yet to be totted up.


Unless you're just starting out in MTB and have bought yourself a cheap and perhaps second hand knockabout, or if you happen to be a die hard retro gear fanatic, the brakes you will have on your bike will bear little resemblance to the old school cantilever systems you would have found on the first models to be commercially produced in the early 1980s.
The basic principal of the design whereby a cable pulling on two cantilevered arms on either side of the wheel pressed the brake pads to the rim in order to stop the wheel from turning remained largely unchanged until the introduction of the disc brake in the early to mid 1990s. There were subtle changes, such as the 'U' break, now widely used in BMX, or the 'V' break, which can still sometimes be found on entry level mountain bikes, but nothing which radically altered how the brakes actually functioned.
Disc brakes are now all but ubiquitous, and professional standard bikes will be equipped with advanced versions which utilize technology comparable with that used in motor sport. Probably the sole disadvantage of this technology compared to the cantilever brakes of old is that it is a good deal more sophisticated in its engineering, and therefore a fair bit more difficult to repair and maintain.
Here then is CRC Nukeproof Mechanic Carl Geeson with his guide on how to fit a new set of Formula Brake pads. Some of these components are extremely small (this is precision engineering after all), but, provided you don't lose any of them, the principals all sound very logical and straightforward. So watch and learn – a few more of these and you too could be an expert MTB mechanic in no time.

Q: while loop nested in a while loop I was using a nested while loop, and ran into a problem, as the inner loop is only run once.
To demonstrate I've made a bit of test code.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
  int i = 0;
  int j = 0;
  while(i < 10){
    printf("i:%d\n", i);
    while(j < 10){
      printf("j:%d\n", j);
      j++;
    }
  i++;
  }
}

This returns:
i:0
j:0
j:1
j:2
j:3
j:4
j:5
j:6
j:7
j:8
j:9
i:1
i:2
i:3
i:4
i:5
i:6
i:7
i:8
i:9

Can anyone explain why the nested loop doesn't execute 10 times? And what can I do to fix it?

A: Because you don't reset it in each iteration of the outer loop. If you want the inner loop to run ten times too, put the initialization of the j variable inside the outer loop, like this:
int i = 0;
while (i < 10) {
    printf("i:%d\n", i);
    int j = 0;
    while (j < 10) {
        printf("j:%d\n", j);
        j++;
    }
    i++;
}

A: You never reset the value of j to 0, and as such, your inner loop condition is never true after the first run. Assigning j = 0; in the outer loop afterward should fix it.

A: You need to re-set the value j to 0 after the inner loop is done.

A: j  needs to be initialized to 0 inside the loop.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
  int i = 0;
  int j = 0;
  while(i < 10){
    printf("i:%d\n", i);
    j = 0 ; // initialization
    while(j < 10){
      printf("j:%d\n", j);
      j++;
    }
  i++;
  }
}

A: You need to reset j to 0. You don't ever do that in your code  Make j equal to 0 in your outside loop.

A: The reason your inner loop only executes once is because you initialize j to 0 outside the loop and then never reset it again. After it runs the first time the value of j is 10. It will never be less than 10 again.
A better way to do this is to use a for loop:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
    printf("i:%i\n", i);
    for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++){
        printf("j:%i\n", j);
    }
}

It also makes the code look cleaner.

A: You never reset the value of j to 0, and as such, your inner loop condition is never true after the first run. Assigning j = 0; in the outer loop afterward should fix it.

Alix Hunter, director of "The Iron Ones," prepares to shoot a scene in the movie
Posted Saturday, October 8, 2022 9:48 am
I'm completely ecstatic with the whole movie so far, because the acting was exceptional."
Alix Hunter, Director of "The Iron Ones"
Inspired by a boat excursion to the San Juan Islands — and a chance encounter with a humpback whale — Los Angeles-based director Alix Hunter's film-in-progress "The Iron Ones" centers on a group of teens and their battle for survival.
Hunter's all-star cast of up-and-coming actors made their way to Port Townsend for 12 days in June, getting immersed in the abundant wildlife within Puget Sound and the community of Port Townsend.
While the Victorian seaport goes under the fictional name of Port Garrison in the film, elements and features of the town and it's surrounding geography show up throughout, with the town serving as the perfect backdrop for Hunter's science fiction and horror-infused movie.
"I centered the story with young adult characters and high school students; adults are basically just [in the] background," Hunter said. "The theme of the film is a story about kids and family and friends and trying to survive."
The director utilizes her scientific background and prior experience as a nonfiction writer and wildlife documentarian to deliver a story that's not only terrifying, but a conceivable framework in the sci-fi space, she said.
Beyond her filmmaking prowess, Hunter has written more than a dozen nonfiction books covering a range of topics from food chains in a range of natural environments to space sciences and astronomy to social sciences.
AQUATIC ORIGIN AND INFLUENCES
"The Iron Ones" and its oceanic horror elements were first inspired by Hunter after a memorable boat excursion with her partner a couple of years back.
"We were in COVID when I first worked on this … we decided to leave Port Townsend and go on a trip out to the San Juan Islands," she recalled.
While on the water, Hunter came across a massive humpback whale swimming near her vessel. It appeared to be fleeing something.
She'd never seen something so enormous up close and thought, "What is making this whale so scared that it's coming up to us?"
The creative juices started flowing as she developed the idea of centering a survival story with the horror element of what lurks below.
Part of the director's fascination with sci-fi and the monster movie and classic horror sub-genres stem from her adoration for legendary directors Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and James Cameron.
"What I loved about their movies and work is the way they capture the sense of wonderment; they're my favorite," she said.
With "The Iron Ones" and its human versus nature conflict, there's plenty to draw from the directors, whether through "Jaws" and "Jurassic Park" from Spielberg, Cameron's "Aliens," or even the "Star Wars" saga as a foundation of modern science fiction.
Beyond those directors and films, Hunter's love for gothic architecture and the supernatural greatly influenced her choice to use Port Townsend's Victorian cityscape as the perfect backdrop.
"For me, I'm a fan of classic horror, suspense-type horrors, like 'Dracula.' That's why I had it put in there," she said of the Port Townsend setting. "It's mostly a backdrop to the story, and it becomes a bit of a character of its own."
Co-producer Elvis Barritt was also an integral part of the production process, teaming up with Hunter for the film.
TALENTED CAST
Any film can be boosted by a beautiful or haunting setting, but what makes or breaks a movie is the characters.
With more than 1,000 actors applying to be in "The Iron Ones" and a rigorous process before final selection, Hunter spent a great deal of effort before final casting selections.
"The cast I got for it I thought was brilliant. I couldn't be happier as a director, their talent was amazing and they blew me away," she said.
L.A. actress Cora Cleary was chosen to play female lead Zoe Jonstone, Lukas Charles Stafford was selected as older brother Mack Jonstone, actor and model Bryce Englund filled the role of Scottish exchange student Hamish, Bryley Michael Bell played high schooler Shawn, Matthew Bentsen was cast as a high schooler nicknamed "Rooster," and Port Townsend resident Argus McEnerney filled the role of J.J.
The director lauded her cast with high praises.
"Cora is amazing, don't be surprised if she's the next Meryl Streep," Hunter said.
As for Stafford, "He was extremely talented and extremely happy and really took his character to the level that we needed him to do," she said.
She additionally complimented the talents of Englund, Bell, and Bentsen, but perhaps the most surprising performance was that of local 10-year-old McEnerney.
"The biggest surprise of all, which is someone the whole town should be proud of, was Argus McEnerney," Hunter said.
After reaching out to the Key City Public Theatre in search of a young actor, she was put in contact with McEnerney.
The young hotshot thoroughly impressed the cast and crew with his professionalism, showing up to set fully in character with the entire script memorized word for word.
"Some people in this world believe in reincarnation; he must be an actor from another time period," Hunter said, commending his maturity at such a young age.
MOVIE TIMELINE
Currently, the film is going through the rigorous post-production stage of development, with Hunter estimating that "The Iron Ones" will be ready in six to nine months.
The movie will have a PG-13 rating, allowing for the crew to produce a film that keeps the vital sci-fi and horror elements while remaining family-friendly, she said.
"I'm completely ecstatic with the whole movie so far, because the acting was exceptional," Hunter said.

The Love Story of Kayla & Chad Williams
It's time to meet our Bride & Groom, but now that you know so much about the friends in their Wedding Party, let's introduce them with a little bit of their love story.
Life is always about the little things … strange twists and turns that eventually lead us to somewhere important.
Here, we have two kids that grew up initially in Taft, but never met each other. Each of them had divorced parents, and spent some time going back and forth to stay with one or the other … and still they didn't met.
They shared common interests in paintballing, offroading and just having fun …. and still they didn't meet.
Then, as the Fates would have it, Chad and Kayla both ended up at The Bullshed bar the night before new year's eve in 2011:
he for his friend's birthday party; she, just out with friends.
Kayla said she saw him leaning up against the outside bar, lookin' all sexy in his cowboy hat. Not a shy girl, she just walked right up to the bar and bumped into him.
Chad politely asked if she wanted some more room, and she said nope, she was fine. They drank and talked and enjoyed the evening with friends, but forgot to exchange numbers.
Now, Kayla didn't know it, but Chad and his friends went to that same bar every weekend for the next three months, just waiting to see if she would show up again. Finally, she did. Chad remembers saying "Hey, you got some pretty boots, what's your name?" to start off the conversation. Kayla, on the other hand, just remembers that they picked up right where they left off again, and he was saying all the right things.
They ended up leaving together, though Chad had to ride in a carseat.
Now both call their "first date" the family breakfast they had the next morning.
Chad says at three months in, he knew Kayla was THE ONE.
Kayla says it was more like five months before he said I Love You. Chad grabbed her hand waiting for Ryan to show up at his house, looked her in the eyes, kissed her on the forhead and told her he loved her.
Kayla answered "I love you back", because then SHE KNEW he was the one.
Chad's mom Terri said she knew it was for real when Chad introduced them … he told her he would never introduce her to any other girlfriends until he found the one he wanted to spend his life with, and she fell in love with Kayla, too. Terri says "Any woman that can watch my Chad change a tire, with a big 'ol smile lighting her whole face, is alright with me."
Now that they were all sure, the day finally came and Chad asked her to marry him. Never a guy to just do things the normal way, he showed up from work early one day with a pink and black ring made out of duct tape,
with a little nut on top for the diamond.
Kayla had always cautioned him not to ask until he was %500 percent sure he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, but who could've guessed the question would come with a duct tape ring and his dog? As the dog licked around them both happily, Kayla could barely answer "Yes".
And then about three weeks later, he traded the original ring for the real one, making Kayla go all misty-eyed. But that duct tape is still with them, and is just as important to her as the biggest diamond in the world.
It's just Chad's way.
Ladies & Gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our husband and wife Chad and Kayla Williams.
I would love to thank all the wonderful vendors I got to work with at this event.
