Sure, I will check that out.
Welcome! Glad you made it on Steem!
Cool Luz. I'm just realizing that people commented on this post. So surprised! ha ha. But thanks for reading it and commenting.
Welcome! We learn as we dare to do stuff! Keep it up!

Next time I learn about an event will definitely share in one of the groups!!
Thank you for this wonderful and isightful piece on EFT and welcome to Steemit!!! Looking forward to learning more about EFT!!
You've got my whatsapp, so ask away. If I've got the answer, I'll gladly help!
Wow, I never heard about this type of therapy! Great entry to the platorm! This was quite an interesting read!


At St Crispin's we promote a love of books and reading from the children's first days with us. We foster a reading culture that starts with sharing books for sheer pleasure – we really want children to enjoy reading!
Reading is a very important part of our everyday school life. It is central to everything we do and children are exposed to different types of text as soon as they begin in Reception. Reading books are placed in coloured bands that get gradually harder as the children progress. They start with books which have no words to develop good reading behaviours and progress to complex fiction and non-fiction texts. Children are usually heard read at least once a week, individually and in guided reading. We use a variety of different reading schemes including Phonics Bug and Oxford Reading Tree.
We have specialist teaching assistants who run intervention programmes in reading for children who are not at the same level as their peers, to ensure that all children have the ability to read well by the time they leave us.
We celebrate World Book Day each year and love dressing up for all sorts of topics to promote reading. We also carry out promotional book sales with assisting companies, which are well supported by our fantastic parents who play such a big part in teaching their children to read.
We have a strong phonics programme (Letters and Sounds) running throughout the school to teach early reading skills and support the children as they progress. We frequently spend time looking at illustrations and encourage 'book talk' from all of the children. We read to the whole class and in groups looking at a range of stories from traditional tales to well established authors. We love to read together and through this we develop the children's concepts about print.
In the Foundation stage the earliest work is carried out by looking at sounds in our environment and listening to different sounds that we can make with instruments, our bodies and a range of other items. Listening to rhymes also plays an important part in this development process - this is phase 1 of the Letters and Sounds Programme.
We move onto looking at phonics to break down words into individual sounds. We teach the children how to segment and blend so that they can read on their own (decode the words). These skills then develop as the children move through the school with daily phonics teaching in all classes. In years 1 and 2 children are set for phonics across the year groups, which allows for focused teaching at the child's level for each phase of Letters and Sounds.
More detailed information on how we teach phonics at St Crispin's can be found on our 'Phonics' page.
Guided reading is where a small group of children of a similar reading ability all read the same book together. They look through a book at a suitable level and then teachers 'walk through a text' with the children before they begin to read, to explore the text type and discuss difficult language. Through this process the children are taught the skills of reading. Children remind each other of what to do if they encounter a difficult word and then have some time to enjoy the text. Following the reading, teachers and children discuss the text and teachers question the children on what they have read. This is how the true meaning of reading is explored.
Children are able to change their home reading book up to three times a week. However we would encourage you to make sure you child reads a book a couple of times. This ensures that your child can read for meaning as well as decoding the text. When you are hearing your child read, question him/her about what has been read every couple of pages to ensure your child can refer to the text and find information.
We ask that you make a note of the page number they have read to and any comments you may have about your child's reading in their reading record book. These comments are useful for us.
If you would like further access to some fantastic eBooks, why not visit www.oxfordowl.co.uk. There are over 260 free books for parents to read with their child at home with lots of ideas on how to support your child with reading.
Teach lots of nursery rhymes – each one tells a different story.
Teach your child some action rhymes – 'Heads, shoulders, knees and toes', 'Here we go round the mulberry bush', 'We all clap hands together'. Use CDs of nursery rhymes to sing along to.
Let your child see you reading – grown-ups can share their magazines about their favourite sport or hobby, for example.
Enjoy and share books together – buy or borrow books that will fire your child's imagination and interest. Read and reread those he/she loves best.
Add sound effects when reading a story and encourage your child to join in.
Read simple rhyming books together – leave out a rhyming word now and then, and see if your child can work out the missing word. If not, you say it.
Read with your child – ask your child to attempt unknown words, using phonic skills and knowledge.
Talk about the meaning of the book, too. Spend some time talking about what is happening in the book, or things that were really interesting in an information book. Discuss the characters and important events. Share views on the book. Provide toys, puppets and dressing-up clothes that can help as you and your child act out stories.
Explain the meaning of words (vocabulary) that your child can read but may not understand, for example, 'flapped', 'roared'.
Borrow or buy the best books you can to share with your child. Libraries and bookshops can advise you of the most popular books.
Make time to read with your child throughout their time in school – PLEASE continue reading to your child, even when he/she can read independently. This is very important – your child needs to practise his/her reading skills regularly and needs the support of an interested adult. Grandparents, older brothers or sisters can help too!

What our city has done... and is doing
Click here to see the resolution our City passed.
Spring 2014 - Following resident complaints, Ann Arbor City Council directed City Administrator Steve Powers to develop deer management information with the assistance of community partners and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Division.
Aug. 14, 2014 - Powers provided a Deer Management Options Report, outlining the need to develop a community-endorsed deer management plan. City Council appropriated $20,000 for a plan.
Dec. 10, 2014 - Feb. 5, 2015 - Held two public discussion meetings and an online public survey
The survey had several significant flaws:
1. Sample bias. 537 people responded to the survey; 72 of them were not from Ann Arbor. This suggests the survey was taken by less than 0.4% of Ann Arbor's population. Also, because the survey was optional (and not widely publicized), there was self-selection bias; only those who knew about the survey/cared about the issue took the survey; it did not represent those "in the middle" or those who did not know about the survey. Furthermore, residents were disproportionately represented from the first and second wards; the majority of them were in favor of using lethal methods to cull deer; the majority of the residents from the third, fourth and fifth wards responded they were not in favor of using lethal methods.
2. Question bias. For instance, three questions began with a pro-cull leading statement: "Research concludes that lethal removal measures are most effective for managing a deer population. Please indicate your level of support for... [firearm hunting, bow hunting, sharpshooters]."
3. Answer bias. For instance, three options were given to the question "Please indicate your level of support for using lethal methods such as hunting or sharpshooting to reduce the deer population." Respondents could only select: Strongly support, Moderately support, or Do not support. Unbiased options would have been: Strongly support, Moderately support, Moderately do not support, Strongly do not support.
Yet this flawed survey is cited as reasons for action in the final bill.
The public discussion meetings can be seen here; many of the same pro-cull advocates speak at every one.
Feb. 10, 2015 - Conducted an aerial survey; counted 116 deer, including 32 on the border or outside the city.
March 6, 2015 - Conducted 2nd aerial survey; counted 168 deer, including 92 on the border or outside the city. The majority were in Wards 1 and 2.
The city conducted two flyovers because "the first included all areas of the city, except the downtown near hospitals and the Arboretum, while the second survey included the entire city."
As Ann Arbor is 27.83 square miles, the final survey indicates Ann Arbor has 6 deer per square mile. On a worksheet for establishing deer population, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) suggests that Washtenaw County have 24-28 deer per square mile, with fewer in cities like Ann Arbor. The MDNR suggested that Rochester Hills have a density of 15-17 deer per square mile.
The final bill mentions these aerial surveys, but just to say that the majority of deer were found in Wards 1 & 2. There is no mention of deer density or that we have "too many deer," as was originally assumed by those who brought this issue forward. Why would we use lethal methods if we do not have "too many deer"?
April 16, 2015 - Held third public meeting to present flyover and survey results.
May 7, 2015 - Published "Recommendations for Deer Management in Ann Arbor," calling for a deer cull.
At the end of this document (p.1702-1737) is a 35-page report from the "Washtenaw Citizens for Ecological Balance," the group that began the deer cull issue discussion with City Council and advocated for a cull. There are no reports from counter points on non-lethal methods included in this report.
July 13, 2015 - Work session with presentation on fertility control methods from HSUS.
The City's recommendations for a cull were published two months prior to any expert discussion of fertility control.
August 17, 2015 - Held a final public meeting. Voted 8-1 in favor of using lethal methods first to kill deer in Ann Arbor starting this winter, and to consider non-lethal methods later. (2nd Ward Council Members Jane Lumm and Kirk Westphal voted to only use lethal methods and not consider any non-lethal methods.) See the bill here. Approved ordinance that bans the feeding of deer in Ann Arbor.
There are problems with the public meeting and with the decision.
The problem with doing a cull before doing non-lethal methods (versus the other way around) is, as the National Wildlife Research Center in Fort Collins, a cull will kill off the "easy ones" -- the ones who would be caught for fertility control. By doing a cull first, you're greatly limiting the effects of what could happen with birth control methods.
At this final public hearing,
There was no mention of all the people present who said they enjoyed the deer, didn't mind the deer, address the problem themselves, or said they saw no problem whatsoever.
There was no mention of the man who spoke and said he did not want the deer in his yard culled, particularly the three-legged deer whose survival skills and ability to raise her fawn leave him in awe.
There was no mention of Rochester Hills (who briefly tried a cull and then stopped because of its failure) who uses education and prevention strategies, is fully satisfied with existing strategy and remains a great example for Ann Arbor.
There was no mention that Rochester Hills has not seen "exponential growth" and "200 deer in one yard," but has had a stable number without ANY population management.
There was no mention of Jackson County who have culled for nearly a decade and still have some of the most dangerous roads for deer/car collisions in the state.
There was no mention of the community's fears over sharpshooters, or as a speaker noted, that a bullet from a sharpshooter that misses its target can travel over two miles.
There was no mention of the white deer "accidentally shot" in the Kensington Park culling.
There was no mention of threats to pets who might get loose. (And one of the leaders of the pro-cull group said, if your dog gets out accidentally and gets hit, that's your fault for "breaking the law.")
There was no mention of the illegality of a cull, that they will need to violate state law designed for public safety.
There was no mention of the aerial survey numbers of just 168 deer in and surrounding Ann Arbor, which is a significantly lower deer density than the Michigan DNR recommends. Why did we pay for two flyovers if we were not going to heed the results for anything?
There was no mention of the clear contradiction in efforts of Council working to approve new housing developments, bringing in hundreds of new residents, in an already identified over-crowded area; devouring more green space (and deer habitat)-- while, at the same time, approving a cull because "there are too many deer." One speaker implored us to look at "real ecological imbalance" and the impact of human population growth on the entire ecosystem. Several Council members justified their pro-cull vote based upon their understanding of the negative impact deer have on general ecology... yet they are fine with bulldozers leveling green space for new development.
Council members claimed they had only two options: culling or fertility control. In reality, there are many strategies in between -- though, admittedly, they take thought, effort, and respect for animal life.
Two claimed they were in part voting for the cull because they are "not vegetarians." We are still scratching our heads over that. This isn't about hunting for meat. What you eat has nothing do with how you manage conflict with wildlife in your community. We have hundreds of people who call us for help with wildlife -- compassionate people who want to see them handled humanely. Presumably, they are not all vegetarians. And not being a vegetarian does not take away your right to protest the slaughter of innocent animals in your community.
They claimed deer fertility control is too experimental and too costly. The cost of sterilization is nearly equal to that of a cull and has been done successfully on a variety of species for a century. Chemical contraception is still considered experimental because it does not have full regulatory approval, but chemical contraceptiion has also been done for many years on a variety of wild animals including feral dogs, wild horses, and yes-- deer.
They claimed sterilization is inhumane, while killing is not. As an organization that sterilizes about 7000 animals a year and does everything possible to save animal lives, I guess we (and nearly everyone else) have got it all backwards.
They claimed this is still about Lyme disease and car collisions despite the clear facts to the contrary. And, if they were actually concerned about road safety, why have they done nothing to help educate drivers or improve road signage in ways that have proven highly effective in other communities? Seems like that should have been done ASAP, whether or not they voted for a cull.
They claimed (along with the pro-cull group) that culling is the only proven method, and the vacuum effect does not exist (despite clear evidence that a partially culled population bounces back through increased births and migration from other areas). Yet they have budgeted to cull for multiple years. If culling is so effective, why will it be needed in subsequent years?
They claimed, along with the pro-cull group who call our deer "rats with hooves," that their existence here is unnatural, and killing them is for their own good.
Council Member Lumm was eager to allocate $90,000 of taxpayer money to kill animals that are a nuisance to some of her constituents, but suggested if any humane methods are considered in the future, they should be paid for by HSHV donors. The City, with its $334 million budget, can't pay for anything beyond killing?
They failed to explain the numbers. Currently Ann Arbor spends $400 per deer on deer carcass pick-up. But they plan to cull 100 deer in the first year for about $26,000 ($400 x 100 = $40,000)? The cull company said their bottom-line cost of shooting, not removing, the deer was about $235-325 per deer (adding up to another $32,500). So unless we are planning to leave shot and killed animals in our parks and neighborhoods, they are miscalculating or are attempting to deceive the public on the affordability of this option.
Council Member Kunselman continues to believe deer that can sometimes be seen during the day are crazed and in need of a mercy killing. (No true wildlife expert agrees with this opinion.)
Council Member Warpehoski said he is acting out of respect for nature (before telling a personal story of trying to take a "selfie" with a small fawn), but neither he, nor any other member, ever considered the tragic implications for fawns whose mothers are shot.
They passed a feeding ban (without ever admitting that it is human action that helps create conflicts with deer) that apparently includes bird feeders that spill onto the ground. And since Ann Arbor still has no Animal Control Officer, they said the feeding ban will be enforced by the Ann Arbor Police Department. Is having Ann Arbor police monitor your bird feeder truly the best use of taxpayer dollars?
November 5, 2015 - Public hearing on moratorium on prohibition of possesssion of and discharging of firearms in public places. In two separate 10-1 votes, City Council approved temporarily lifting ordinance restrictions on firing guns in parks, and an agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, also known as USDA-APHIS, to carry out the cull this winter at a cost of up to $35,000.

Oochie, Owie, Yowie. Those are my biceps, triceps and trapezoids speaking. They have been getting quite the workout. Gardening can be physically intense, and I work up a serious appetite raking, dragging debris and edging my client's gardens. I also have very little free time to cook these days, (this post should have gone up yesterday, but I ran into a bit of a sanfu entering information into TurboTax on Sunday, and well, Uncle Sam must come first). On the weekends, when I'm not working, I try to make a few hearty things in the kitchen to carry me through the week.
I am a big fan of all Southern cooking -OK, who isn't?- and I am especially fond of Lee Bailey's country-style recipes. Cornbread has always been one of my favorite comfort foods, but although I think it's fabulous drizzled with honey, I don't like for the bread itself to be sweet! I prefer to to taste the flavor of real corn -very forward in this recipe- and I am picky about a moist, springy texture. One of the things that makes cornbread special is its versatility. Sure, you can make it plain and simple -without the onions or peppers I mention here- but you can also really jazz it up with fresh things from the garden. Depending upon my main course, I might add chives, sweet onions, garlic, sweet or hot peppers, and just about anything else that strikes my fancy. Sweet onions -such a rewarding crop to grow- are one of my favorite additions. It will be sometime before I have ripe, hot peppers in my garden, but they also add a special kick to this recipe – especially if you are cooking Cajun or Tex-Mex. I will be talking more about gourmet peppers, and other potager-delights in the coming weeks.
The recipe below is taken from Lee Bailey's Country Weekends. If the gorgeous photographs of al-fresco meals in various outdoor settings don't inspire you, the recipes and menus surely will. Although Lee's beautiful book has gone out of print, I believe it can still be found online, both new and used. I received my copy as graduation/first-housewarming gift in the 90's, (from a fabulous foodie-friend), and I still think it's a wonderful book worth seeking out.
And Hooo Wee. Try it with hot peppers, such as Jalapeños or Heirloom Hungarians, for an incredible kick !

That sounds delicious. It will go wonderfully with the shrimp gumbo I'm making for dinner. Your posting was just in time.
I'm looking forward to your posts on onions. I have no problem planting them, I just don't know how to harvest. I ended up letting them spend the winter in the soil because I didn't know what to do. I just cut the greens to use in a salad. Now I'm wondering if last years bulbs are still edible?
Hi Carina ! There is a link in this blog post, (where I mention sweet onions in the text, the type is darker), click on that and it will take you back to last year's post on harvesting onions. I'll write more, but generally, you want to harvest when the green tops flop over. Usually the bulbs grow soft in the soil. You want to harvest them and then 'cure' in the hot sun.
* PS Shrimp Gumbo sounds great… yum. You are making me want to crash your dinner party – but if you are Carina H… it would take me 3 or 4 days by car!
I agree with Carina. This would go well with shrimp. And I KNOW you make shrimp creole – as I do. How yum that would be.
But what about with fried chicken, and barbecued brisket, and creamed lima beans?
Oh, this is making me soooooooo hungry – not a good thing as I sit at my desk with a container of no-fat Greek yogurt and an apple waiting in the refrigerator as my lunch.
Oh, well. At least I don't have tickets for the Yankees opener and have to sit outside on a nasty April day.
I am just sitting down with my own Greek yogurt and granola for my very, very late lunch, (OK mine has LOTS of fat)! We must be on the same wavelength, (taste-bud length?)! Now I want shrimp creole. Sigh. OK. That will be the weekend menu.
Fried Chicken. I think it's also time for your fabulous fried chicken Virginia.
Nice to hear from you :) I always love seeing your comments. I imagine it must be lovely in the city today.
Michaela, it's not lovely in the City today. The weather is gray and rather damp but not raining – yet. Although we do need rain in the spring, don't we? And lots of trees, shrubs, and flowers are in full bloom.
I am going to Amsterdam on Saturday and hope to see the fields of tulips, plus lots and lots of art, and eat some Dutch licorice so I am very excited.
But it does mean I would be upstate for a few weeks so I am looking at your photos longingly.
Oh! I'm sorry to hear that. It is cool here today, but bright and beautiful. Yes, we do need spring rain. I rather like gardening in light, misty weather.
Amsterdam? Oh that sounds wonderful. I hope you have a lovely trip Victoria. I haven't been to Amsterdam since 1998. Last time, I visited the art museums and went to several markets. One evening, I had the most amazing risotto, with spring vegetables, in a tiny restaurant on the water. The weather was gloomy, but lovely all the same.

This blog post is primarily aimed at all make-up artists offering services to the general public. It is also for the general public to understand the cost implications of having your make-up done professionally.
I am coming across more and more freelance make-up artists working in bridal, makeovers, prom etc charging just £35 for a full make over (sometimes less) due to trying to meet the demand of people who just don't want to pay more to have their make-up done.
So that other creatives know the true cost of a make-up artist who has offered up time to collaborate and will hopefully bear this in mind the next time a make-up artist offers to work for free.
It is worth remembering that we love our job and feel very privileged to be doing such an amazing job that sometimes we find it hard to charge a professional daily rate. Also, we are make-up artists – not necessarily business people… learning the business side of things is an entire different ball game so I hope this helps towards some people attitudes.
Above is a photo of my make over kit – The one that I use for make-up on the general public, whether this is brides, make overs, party make up, hen do's and the like.
Please note that this is a mid price range for products – some are a lot more expensive and of course, you can pick up much cheaper products – Although, people who are paying for your service don't expect you to have cheap high street brands in your kit and are put off by your skills as a make-up artist if your kit only has these products in them therefore you really aren't going to find a much cheaper kit than this.
Please keep in mind that this does not include ALL of the make-up I have- this is my daily make-up kit that I use on the general public. I have even more products for photoshoots, TV, Theatre etc.
It is also worth baring in mind that ALL make-up needs replacing so this is not a one off cost. This is just a starter cost of what is required for us make-up artists to carry out our jobs to a high standard.
Even if you trained for free (three year college course aged 16 – 19), most make-up artists will have paid for private courses / tuition / classes to stay updated with current techniques. Expect your make-up artist to have paid a minimum of £1000 to stay updated.
Most make-up artists I know trained when they were older than 19 meaning they had to pay the full cost of a private make-up course. Back in 2000, I paid £4,500.00 to do my four month course – That same course today costs £8,500.00. Therefore, your make-up artist would have paid between £1000.00 and £26,000.00 for their training.
Ok, so we have trained and we have the kit, surely the jobs just pour in and land on our laps, yes?
Premises (If people work from a salon, they tend to pay to hire a chair for the day. If people work from their own studio there are more costs to cover) – Because of these reasons and to keep this post as simple as possible, I have decided not to include these costs.
People forget to charge for the time it takes to set up a business, run a business, do admin etc. This adds up and although most make-up artists don't pay themselves for this time, they can spend between 30 and 60 hours a week doing all of this work. Let's divide this into wages at the minimum wage of £7.20 per hour – £216 – £432 per week – Yes, we don't all work full time on our business so if we take the minimum amount of £216 and times this by 40 weeks, I would say that was realistic. This equals £8,640.00 of free time that we are putting into running our businesses.
I haven't mentioned car costs – If we have a wedding business, we are expected to be mobile and will be driving to locations in the middle of nowhere. Now, try to factor in the cost of owning and running a car and bare in mind that these costs haven't been factored into this post rundown.
so, as you can see, we can not pinpoint EXACTLY the cost of being a make-up artist but if we take the minimum amounts from everything I have mentioned, this comes to £24,140.00 before we have even taken our first paid job.
Nothing we do is a one off spend – Our make-up needs replacing, we need to update our training, we need to update our websites to remain current, we need to carry on marketing ourselves…. All of this costs money.
If we was to charge just £35 to do someone's makeup, I would have to do 690 people's make-ups just to break even. That means I wouldn't be making any money until my 691st client.
Realistically, having a full time Bridal make-up business, equals 45 weddings a year with up to 5 people per wedding = 225 faces overall. One of these will be a full paying bride (@ £100 plus 4 bridesmaids @ £35 each) This only equals £10,800 for the year.
Baring in mind that as adults, we have mortgages to pay, bills to pay, children's mouths to feed and the same outgoings as everyone else, I'm hoping that you can start to see why £35 per makeover is an unrealistic expectation.
I'm also hoping that make-up artists charging £35 or less can start valuing themselves more. If we don't all work together to charge prices that are realistic for us to have a living wage then I'm not sure how long we can all make a career out of being a make-up artist.
I haven't written this post to put off people from becoming make-up artists due to the scary costs involved. I have written it for people to know their worth. Even if you are just starting out as a make-up artist, the minimum you should be charging for a full face of make-up is £50. This is not expensive. This is the cheaper end of the going rate.
It is up to you to run your business successfully but that can only be done based on your costs so I urge you to sit down and look at exactly what costs you have entailed so far – It didn't take long, just cost up your kit plus everything else you need to factor in before setting your prices.
Too many times I am told by make-up artists that 'I'm new so my prices need to be low', or 'people won't pay more' – I feel it is time to educate those people so that they can see for themselves that we are not actually expensive or over charging. I'm all for being transparent with my prices and hope that people will understand and respect the costs that go into this profession.
I would love to have your comments on this post – please share them with me.
Great post Amy, so many people expect something for nothing these days. This includes my own stationery business – I see people advertising really cheap products and I know that the quality is going to be low. Additionally for such a low price, as you point out, they won't be paying themselves properly.
Thank you for your comments. It feels really good to find support in people coming from the same industry. I really hope that people start taking in to account all of their costs and value themselves and their business more.
Amy this is a fantastic article, I hope as many makeup artists as possible both starting out & professional who maybe undercharging read this post to the end, the info is informatitive an thought provoking in terms of reminding us all that we are running a business an have to charge accordingly to cover both costs & earn a basic living. I would add on a couple grand to fx kits & endless replenishing & to cover the cost of living, average household with two kids, running a car gas/electric/house/contents insurance/tv licence/food/swimming lessons/kids clubs/clothing for a family of four, outgoings approx 2/2.5k per month with mortgage in London. Gas & electric set to rise to 1k per year Sainsbury's energy (family of 3).
Thank you so much for commenting Cate, it really means a lot.
Amy this is a fantastic piece and something that I'm always trying to educate new comers to the industry on, as well as my Brides.
This is a fantastic article which if you don't mind I will share?
It's so hard where I live as pretty much the going rate for occasion makeup it's £25 a face.
There seems to be an mua on every corner! Clients are often surprised when I turn up with my kit & professional lights as sometimes they have had makeup done by someone who has just a small clear bag with them.
These are the people setting the prices so low as they haven't invested thousands of pounds in training, and kit etc.
It's frustrating but ultimately job satisfaction keeps you going – it sure is getting harder to pay the bills!
Thanks for your comments, please feel free to share.
Thank you so much for writing this. I am on a course right now and excited at the prospect of working for myself and being creative but daunted by the business side of things, espescially setup costs just to get myself jobs, and then can I generate enough income to live off etc etc etc. I hope you don't mind but I've saved your article, its full of great advice that I will be referring to for some time in the future.
That's great to hear that you are making things work for you. The point of this post was to encourage to run their business as a business, making sure that you are making money. As long as you count all those hours you work for free working on and promoting your business and make sure you are making money, that's great. We are often guilty of believing a day off to be an admin day!

I also tried older kernel 4.9.10 as I had read that it can be kernel related, but no luck.
I did not change any membership.
Are there some packages that I could try to recomplie in order to reset to expected behaviour? Right now I am doing an emerge -ev system to see if this helps.

Reinstalling sys-apps/shadow would make sure su has correct permissions. You have USE=pam though, so all bets are off.
Yes, pam is a default. Usually removing it is harmless but it depends on whether your installed software allows you to - most desktops won't.
Re-emerge shadow corrected this issue. su does work again. Thanks for your light-speed support. I love this comunity !

Is Lululemon Chairman's Apology the Worst Ever?
By ABC News November 14, 2013
ABC News' Melissa Lustrin and Linzie Janis report:
Lululemon founder Chip Wilson appears to be having his Paula Deen and Tiger Woods moment - two stars whose mea culpas were less than well received - after his own tepid apology for placing the blame for problems with his company's products on women's bodies.
In his apology video, posted last Friday on YouTube and Lululemon's Facebook page, Wilson looked directly into the camera and apologized, not to the customers he may have offended, but to his own employees.
"I'm sad for the people at Lululemon who I care so much about that have really had to face the brunt of my actions," Wilson said. "I take responsibility for all that has occurred and the impact it has had on you. I'm sorry to have put you all through this."
Wilson was referring to the comments he made during a Nov. 5 interview with Bloomberg TV inferring that the "sheerness" of Lululemon's yoga pants was likely caused by women buying too-small pants or their thighs rubbing together.
"Frankly, some women's bodies just don't actually work [for the yoga pants]," Chip Wilson said on Bloomberg TV's "Street Smart" program. "It's more really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there over a period of time, how much they use it."
Canada-based Lululemon is still trying to bounce back from the March 2013 debacle that forced it to pull nearly 17 percent of its popular black Luon pants from stores, showrooms and the website after customers complained the pants were see-through.
Lululemon offered customers a refund or exchange for the pants and said in June that it delivered the Luon pants back into stores within 90 days of pulling the line. By that time, the stock for Lululemon, which rang up $1.4 billion in sales last year, was down 17 percent.
Is Expensive Workout Gear Worth the Money?
Now that the pants are back on the store shelves, Lululemon is facing a new barrage of customer complaints, this time involving the pilling of the fabric.
Wilson's apology seems to have only inflamed the controversy surrounding the company, with commenters on Lululemon's Facebook page calling the apology "foolish" and Wilson a "jerk."
"From a marketing standpoint, Chip Wilson's apology is kind of a disaster," Business Insider's Ashley Lutz told ABC News. "It seems like he's saying I'm sorry I got caught, but I'm not sorry I said it."
Wilson never directly addressed Lululemon customers or offered an explanation in the apology, instead directing his comments to rally employees.
"I ask you to stay in a conversation above the fray," Wilson said. "I ask you to know that the culture that you have built cannot be chipped away."
Lululemon declined to comment when reached by ABC News.

Underground Coffee Roasters Revolution blend is a coffee revolutionary. Its rich flavours and aromas evoke a spirit of rebellion that has always been a part of the history of coffee.
Without this rebellious spirit coffee would not have become one of the most traded commodity in the world. It's estimated that over 500 billion cups of coffee are drunk a year and many millions of people are dependent on the coffee trade for their livelihood. However, this was not always so, there were times when leaders and nations tried to prohibit trade in coffee or shut down coffee houses.
Over a century before coffee was discovered in Europe, coffee was a popular drink in Yemen/Arabia, where it was possibly the first country to cultivate the 'arabica' coffee we know today. Coffee had a better rap than alcohol, which was generally prohibited by the government and it also perked up worshippers for late night prayer vigils.
In 1511 however, Khair Beg, the governor of Mecca tried to prohibit coffee too by closing down Mecca's coffee houses, apparently because satirical verses were being written about him in these houses, so he blamed the coffee. His superior the Sultan of Cairo reversed the order as he was an fervent coffee drinker himself.
When coffee was making inroads in Europe, Pope Clement VIII's advisors wanted him to ban coffee because it was the 'Devil's Drink' (or because it was popular with the Ottoman Empire), but the Pope tried it and found it so delicious he decided to baptise it instead.
King Charles II had his feelings hurt… but Frederick the Great mixed it up a little.
In 1777 Frederick the Great temporarily banned it from Prussia, even though he was still enjoying it himself, often mixing it with champagne. Say what!?
Since the 16th century coffee has gained popularity with many civilisations and found favour with a series of monarchs and rulers who celebrated the drink, as well as with writers and philosophers, for example, Balzac, who apparently drank 40 cups a day to fuel his nighttime writing sprees.
During the French Revolution, there was many cafes that were meeting places for those who later became known as the revolutionaries, such as the Café de Foy where Camille Desmoulin's call to arms inspired the Storming of the Bastille in Paris.
The Boston Tea Party in 1773 – where the Sons of Liberty, protesting high taxes on tea imports, sabotaged a large tea shipment and threw it into the Boston harbour – inspired the American Revolution and also America's love of coffee, since this became the beverage of choice to symbolise the new independent spirit opposing British rule.
Another revolutionary act was when Baba Budan, a 16th century Sufi smuggled raw coffee beans from Yemen to introduce the crop to India, at a time when coffee was only available from the Yemeni monopoly in a roasted form so the seed was rendered sterile. This was a major step towards making coffee more democratic and affordable to the masses - before this only royalty or the uber-rich could afford Mocha beans (from Mocha on the Red Sea coast of Yemen).
It could be argued that the first revolutionary act is told in the Ethiopian legend of Kaldi the goat-herder and his discovery of coffee.
According to the legend, Kaldi's goats were the first to eat the coffee bean, making them frisky and disobedient and they would not come when he called. Kaldi witnessed the invigorating effects of coffee on his goats, gave it a try himself and eventually convinced the Ethiopian monks that they could worship all night with the aid of coffee, and this is reputed to be where coffee the drink was invented.
Without this brazen curiosity the coffee bean may have still been undiscovered today and the whole rich culture around it would never have been and history might have been quite different… Follow your curiosity and buy some revolutionary coffee today and fuel your inner rebel!


At St Michael's we are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all children, staff, parents and carers receiving services from the school, irrespective of race, gender, disability, faith or religion or socio-economic background. We aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which all those connected to the school feel proud of their identity and able to participate fully in school life.
The School recognises it has to make special efforts to ensure that all groups flourish.
The achievement of children is monitored by race, gender and disability and we use this data to support children, raise standards and ensure inclusive teaching. We tackle discrimination by the positive promotion of equality, challenging bullying and stereotypes and creating an environment which champions respect for all. As a school we believe that diversity is a strength, which should be respected and celebrated by all those who learn, teach and visit us.
• Increasing the extent to which disabled children can participate in the curriculum.
• Improving the physical environment of the school to enable disabled children to take better advantage of education, benefits, facilities and services provided.
• Improving the availability of accessible information to disabled children and their families.
We aim and make every effort to include all children while meeting their individual needs.
Teachers provide differentiated learning opportunities and experiences appropriate to each child's interests and abilities, thereby ensuring that all children have full access to the school curriculum.
Some children in our school may be underachieving but will not necessarily have a special educational need. It is our responsibility to spot this quickly and ensure that appropriate interventions are put in place to help these children catch up and achieve to their full potential.
Others will have a special educational need and this may lead to lower-attainment, though not necessarily to under-achievement. Accurate assessment of need and carefully planned programmes, which address the root causes of any learning difficulty, are essential ingredients of success for these children. These will be provided, initially, through additional support funded from the devolved school's budget.
This school's SEN Co-ordinator (SENCo) is Mrs McMahon and if you are concerned about the progress your child is making or if they have an additional need of any kind you should make an arrangement to talk it through with her, although you are most welcome to speak to your child's class teacher first.

Govalle Neighbors Rally to Save Pecan Grove
City-owned property slated for affordable housing
By Michael King, February 22, 2019, News
On Jan. 17, the city Planning and Zoning Department notified neighbors of an upcoming Historic Landmark Commission hearing on a demolition permit for a long-vacant house on city-owned property at 1131 Tillery St. – a "one-story, rectangular-plan, hipped-roof-stone-veneered cottage" once the residence of Rudy and Pearl Henninger, who also sold flowers they grew on the 5-acre tract. Historic preservation staff had already concluded the house did not merit preservation, and intended to recommend the HLC only request additional documentation before releasing the permit.*[See correction below.]
There was one problem: The Henninger house had already been demolished on Dec. 13, shortly after the permit application had been filed and long before it was approved. Project coordinator Javier Delgado, overseeing the city's redevelopment of the property for affordable housing, confirmed this week that the contractor had jumped the process without informing him. (Note: Delgado subsequently clarified that he had approved the demolition upon the contractor's assurance of having the permit.) "From now on," Delgado said, "I need to see the approved permit in hand before they move forward."
Historic Preservation Officer Steve Sadowsky said he discovered the screwup before the scheduled Jan. 28 hearing from a neighbor who found a notice mistakenly posted at his house. Sadowsky says he had an unsatisfactory follow-up conversation with the contractor, concluding, "The bottom line is that they demolished the house without a permit to do so."
Govalle residents were both surprised and dismayed by the abrupt destruction, and now share another worry – that the neatly arrayed grove of roughly 75 mature, producing pecan trees behind the house site will soon go the way of the Henninger house, perhaps without warning. Jessica Eley, co-chair of the Govalle Neighborhood Association, told the Chronicle that neighbors have been lobbying for a "Pecan Grove" park on the site for some time, but that the city's Austin Housing Finance Corporation, which acquired the property through foreclosure years ago, remains uninterested and is planning a sizable affordable housing project.
"The pecan trees are mature and produce almost every fall," Eley wrote in an email. "Current and former residents often go there to pick pecans for personal use. Those living on the margins will go and pick pecans to sell. It's a treasured neighborhood asset." A tree survey by city arborists concluded that only four of the trees meet the "heritage" preservation standard. Eley added that neighbors strongly support affordable housing nearby – the Guadalupe Neighborhood Development Corporation's Jeremiah Project and Integral Care's Housing First Oak Springs project are both readily visible from the Tillery site. "We would even support affordable development around the pecan grove. But in a neighborhood known for its farms and its rich soil, we're ready to fight to save the pecan grove."
Considering Austin's urgent need for affordable housing, it's a "good vs. good" conflict, and the outcome is uncertain. Council Member Pio Renteria, whose District 3 includes Govalle, said he regrets the city's failure of oversight – "some retraining will take place" – but that the tract represents a prime opportunity for a large number of "deeply affordable" housing units, likely taking precedence over saving the trees. "I know the neighbors would like to turn it into parkland," Renteria said, "but I just don't see that happening." He added that it will be months before any precise development plans take shape.
In the wake of the surprise demolition, the neighbors worry that one morning they'll find that the tract has been clear-cut. "Trust has been eroded," said Eley. Delgado got an earful at a Feb. 9 Govalle NA meeting, and insists that the neighbors will be kept informed as plans move forward – which hasn't happened yet. "For the neighbors, I've put my name on this [project]," Delgado told me, "and as decisions are made they will be in the loop, with open communication."
*Correction: This sentence originally reported, in error, that the Historic Landmark Commission had concluded the house did not merit preservation. City staff intended to make that recommendation to the HLC at its Jan. 28 meeting, which was canceled because the house had already been demolished.

Hijab is a head covering dress worn by many women having faith in Islam. Traditionally, it is a squared shaped cloth folded in a triangular shape. But sometime it may be in rectangular shape.
Your wedding day would not be complete without the perfect pair of shoes. Many women may go for high heels during their wedding day, but give this a little thought: You will be wearing this pair of shoes for many hours, if not the entire day. A practical solution would be to pick a pair of kitten heel white shoes to match that beautiful white dress worn for the occasion. Kitten heels are perfect for saying 'I do', especially if you have chosen a simple dress for your wedding. Even with elaborate dresses, you wouldn't want your shoes to outshine the dress, and thus kitten heels, being shorter heels, will not attract too much attention to your feet when you don't want them to.
Fashion changes with time but style does not. Thus, keeping in mind both the aspects of style and fashion, our collection of ladies denim jeans have created a havoc among the females and so we also want you to experience this change of fashion and style. In the present scenario, where blue is not only the color, when it comes to denims, girls today are experimenting with different and bright shades such as pink, red, purple, brown and many more. Presently, all these shades definitely go with your tops and t-shirts, all you need to know is the trick.

H&M Foundation
Global Change Award
Transforming lives through access to water and sanitation
In the major cities of Bangladesh, poor and commuter communities are deprived of access to toilets as public sanitation is a highly undermined priority in urban life across Bangladesh. Project Sunrise has improved the health, safety and dignity of millions of people, by renovating or building toilets.
2013 — 2019 Read in 2 minutes
The lack of safe, clean toilets in the cities leaves people with no choice but to go in the open. Women and children are put at risk and are exposed to harassment and indignity. People's health and the local environment are severely impacted without safe water and appropriate toilets, leaving people trapped in a cycle of poverty.
When H&M customers purchased gift cards during H&M's Holiday Campaign in 2013, they were contributing to transforming lives for millions of people in Bangladesh. The number of purchased gift cards secured a donation from the H&M Foundation that made Project SUNRISE possible.
Additional funding and app tracking toilets
The availability of clean, accessible and secure toilet facilities has led to an increase in use by commuters, pedestrians and the floating population – and women in general. 31 toilets have been built in Dhaka, and they have been used more than 5.3 million times! In addition, a smartphone app called "Toilettracker" has been developed. The app helps you identify nearby public toilets and includes information about their quality and ratings from previous visitors.
Thanks to this project a revolution has sparked in the city and the perception and use of public sanitation has changed in Dhaka. Mayors of both Dhaka North and South City Corporations have publicly declared their support of this initiative and are now able to drive the work championed by Sunrise on their own. After seeing successful progress from the project, the government of Bangladesh has decided to allocate additional funds to Dhaka City Corporations by building 145 more public toilets. Furthermore, the level of public interest, media attention, and government backing has created the scope to go beyond the capital and reach the wider urban population. This means the project has moved onto the cities of Chittagong, Khulna and Sylhet where six toilets will be built.
The project provided an opportunity for making a huge impact in public sanitation services as WaterAid promoted a new era in public-private partnership with a new model for renovation, management and supervision of public toilets in Bangladesh. The H&M Foundation's targeted funding have reached millions of people who live and work in Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna and Sylhet, providing them with safe, sustainable and dignified public sanitation services.
The project specifically aimed to:
Provide transformative sanitation services for poor and commuter populations.
Build public awareness of hygienic behavior.
Build public awareness of rights to water and sanitation.
Advocate greater accountability from authorities to provide public water and sanitation services.
new public toilets have or will be built in Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna and Sylhet.
million times have the toilets served the population in Dhaka as of March 2018.
Total donation: 37.1 million Swedish krona
Number of uses by 2019: More than 5 million
Partners: WaterAid
September 2017 Sep 2017 Stories
"For the first time in my life I understand the importance of hygiene"
The lack of toilets in Dhaka is an everyday challenge for those living and working there. Without proper toilets, the streets and alleyways as used as a toilet. It's not safe and it's easy to catch diseases. Some simply avoid leaving their homes. That's why WaterAid is working to improve the public sanitation by renovating and building new public toilets, with funding from the H&M Foundation.
April 2017 Apr 2017 Stories
"I had never seen a toilet for disabled people before"
Bangladesh is one of the world's poorest and most densely populated countries and the capital Dhaka, with its seven million inhabitants, is one of the fastest growing cities on the planet. Low-income earners often have to endure very dire conditions in overpopulated areas where flooding is common and clean water and sanitation is non-existent.
The H&M Foundation is a non-profit global foundation, privately funded by the Stefan Persson family, founders and main owners of H&M Group. Its mission is to drive long lasting positive change and improve living conditions by investing in people, communities and innovative ideas.

Il duo nacque a Detroit nel 1996 ma a causa di alcuni screzi tra Royce e i D12 il gruppo si sciolse. Eminem e Royce sono tornati insieme per incidere un EP dal titolo "Hell: The Sequel", di cui Fast Lane è il primo singolo accompagnato da un video, uscito l'8 giugno 2011.

Laser soldering process was introduced in Universal serial bus (USB) 2.0 electric connector to improve the mechanical and electrical bonding reliability. While, the effects of laser soldering technology on electric connector solder joints need to be estimated completely, especially on power consumption. The combined method based on numerical simulation and theAccelerated temperature experiment (ATE) was developed to analyze the power consumption of USB 2.0 electric connector in this paper. The ATE contains thermal cycle and thermal shock tests, and the four-electrode method is used to obtain the conductivity of solder joints. Numerical modeling and analysis was used to quantify the power consumption and optimize the geometry of solder joints, because the electric experimental measurements of power consumption during ATE are time-costing and often intractable. Accurate knowledge of the power consumption is a prerequisite for the reliability of the electric connector.

Day by day program / June, 2011
Irreducible
What is the conjunction between mathematic and artistic intuition, between logic and imagination, vision and exactitude? This question, found throughout the history of thought and creativity, fuels the Agora Festival 2011. The "unreasonable efficiency" of mathematics (Eugène Wigner) in the arts seems to mirror the aesthetic illumination of mathematical discovery. Modern creation has often crossed the mathematical tools of its time (e.g. theory of groups, formal and random music, influence of Poincaré on the cubist movement, etc.) and art has been equally inspired by mathematics.
The dialogue at the heart of Agora brings together exceptional artists (such as Pierre Boulez, Emmanuel Nunes whose 70th year will be celebrated by IRCAM, the figure of Karlheinz Stockhausen, and emerging artists) and renowned researchers such as Alain Connes and Alain Badiou. In this shared and lucid multiplicity, Stockhausen is a vital master of computational frenzy and visionary intuition. The man who forged and traveled each path until exhaustion—electronic music in space or in opera, writing the absolute order or the freedom of intuitive music—conceived his oeuvre as prospective and archetypical. A substantial journey that bends from the original to the "primeval", from the force of youthful beginnings toward the praising of origins in later works. Crossing through Agora and several Parisian locations, the instants of Klang, the ultimate unfinished cycle by Stockhausen, calls for a final time the unity of the totality shared on the world stage. >>
France Musique will be broadcasting from IRCAM, Wednesday, June 8. Starting at 8pm, a live broadcast of Luna Park by Georges Aperghis will followed by a live radio show with artists from the Agora festival, led by Arnaud Merlin.
Free entry, limited seating available.

Five ordinary people must pay the price of survival at the end of the world.
A mysterious virus suddenly strikes down millions. Three days later, its victims awake with a single purpose: spread the Infection. As the world lurches toward the apocalypse, some of the Infected continue to change, transforming into horrific monsters.
In one American city, a small group struggles to survive: Sarge, a tank commander hardened by years of fighting in Afghanistan. Wendy, a cop still fighting for law and order in a lawless land. Ethan, a teacher searching for his lost family. Todd, a high school student who sees second chances in the end of the world. Paul, a minister who wonders why God has forsaken his children. And Anne, their mysterious leader, who holds an almost fanatical hatred for the Infected.
Together, they fight their way to a massive refugee camp where thousands have made a stand. There, what's left of the government will ask them to accept a mission that will determine the survival of them all—a dangerous journey back onto the open road and into the very heart of Infection.

There's something wonderful about visiting a place many people have barely heard of and would have trouble pinpointing on a map. Okay, maybe the Weather Channel fans might recognize the Cape Verde Islands (officially, the Republic of Cabo Verde) as the place where many Atlantic hurricanes form, but this volcanic 10-island archipelago located 500 kilometers (310 miles) off the northwestern coast of Africa is more prone to drought than tropical deluges. The arid, mountainous landscape, fringed by beaches, is home to about 500,000 people. The archipelago was a Portuguese colony from 1495 until achieving independence in 1975, and Mindelo is the capital of one of the northernmost islands, São Vicente. With its rich Portuguese-Creole-African culture, this city is the nation's musical epicenter, and morna—an appealing fusion of Portuguese and African rhythms—is the signature sound. Mindelo's cobblestoned streets are lined with music clubs and bars, and several lively festivals take place here throughout the year. Colorful colonial-style buildings surround the deep-blue harbor, along which you'll find a small-scale reproduction of Lisbon's landmark Tower of Belém.
