Has anyone heard of this brand? I saw it at a kiosk in the mall, but didn't really stop, didn't want to hassle with a salesperson--but it did look like mineral makeup to me. Has anyone tried it? How are the ingredients?
Okay I cant view that thread so I will bring this one back to life, I just bought this today. The girls would not let me leave and they kept lowering the price so I could take it...which I did only because they said I could return it if unsatisfied.
WHen they first approached me I said "sorry not interested, Ive tried so many mineral foundations and have never been satified, Ive gonne back to using channel." So she says "what did you try?" I start naming them "BE, EDM, Urban Decay, Monave,Jane Iredale....etc" and she stops me and says, "our minerals do not have an expiration date, those companies call themselves pure but our really no,t they have experation dates and minerals dont expire." The ingredients on this brand are : Mica, Sericite and Black Iron oxide. Im not too familiar with these so can anyone tell me if they are really pure?
why I dont live in the statessssssssssssssss??????
we dont have nothing in the mall!!!
The only mmu that you mentioned that I know of that has an expiration date is BE, and that's because it's required because it contains SPF. The minerals themselves will not go bad. It sounds to me like those salesladies were waaaay too pushy!
But if you like the product, you might as well keep it!
^^^ I know that the EDM site says specifically that its foundation cannot harbor bacteria so it doesn't expire. Anyway, I took a look at the micabella site. Six foundation shades? Really? That's worse than BE, and only a little better than Sheer Cover.
In my honest opinion, I think you were completely ripped off. The Micabella site is stating that just the foundation is $60!!! I think that is wayyy too much for mineral foundation, no matter the brand. You could do so much better from a smaller company, such as the ones you can find on this forum.
I'm sorry if I am being outspoken, but I hate when people get taken advantage of.
Mica is quite typical in mineral makeup. Sericite is basically a type of very fine mica, and is also a common ingredient in many mineral makeup brands, and iron oxide is a very, very typical ingredient in mineral makeup. I'll bet that if you sample more brands, you would find one much cheaper that gave you the same great finish. The ones you have tried didn't work for me, either, but Lumiere in the cashmere finish is my HG, and there are many others that are very, very nice as well. Mineral Makeup Mania (Delphi forum) lists the names and has links to a couple dozen (at least) mineral makeup companies. Also, since minerals don't harbor bacteria, they aren't going to expire, unless they get moisture in them, as water/moisture makes a happy home for bacteria. So if you keep your minerals dry, they will last and last and last. That's one of the great things about sampling minerals, because if you get an eye shadow you're not too into, in a couple years when your tastes change (mine change frequently!!) you can go back to the old pigments and try them out again!!! LOL!!!
Recently, my friend purchased her own set of Micabella minerals at the mall for a whopping $400+. If she was willing to spend that much, I'm sure the finish was fabulous. However, I'm sure there could have been a cheaper alternative since most mineral makeup are just about the same.
My first mineral makeup experience was trying out Micabella this summer. The saleslady was really pushy and they do NOT take returns or exchanges even on sealed, unused products.
She applied a foundation powder on me and the salesgirls said it was my match. Yet when I looked in the mirror it was obviously the wrong undertone. I didn't purchase it. Besides why spend $60 on the same mineral makeup you can get elsewhere for $10.
Their eyeshadow colors were beautiful and sparkly. I didn't know about mineral makeup websites so I foolishly purchased 3 for $30. Now that I know better, their colors are the same colors that I seen other MMU companies carry. They said they gave me a discount lol! Their eyeshadows are priced at $15 each for 1.75g so the more you buy they will discount it. The eyeshadows are multi-use pigments.
I asked them what the ingredients were and all they said was Mica. The salesgirls are misleading and the prices are too much. They don't give samples. If you wanted to buy the foundation, primer, and bronzer be prepared to spend over $150.
I had been stopped by the saleswomen at the same Micabella kiosk in one of my favorite malls for months. I had let them give me a free sample once or twice, but I had always turned them and their ridiculous prices down no matter how much they tried to force me to buy their products.
I had noticed that none of the women working at the kiosk would give me any sort of detail when answering my questions, which isn't how to make me want to buy the makeup you're selling. Actually, it doesn't seem like anyone's had an experience where their saleswoman wasn't misleading, vague or pushy, have they?
This particular mall kiosk had ended up going out of business because no one would buy their overpriced stuff! I wasn't surprised. I had stopped by on their second last day, and the woman was so desperate to sell me something that i convinced her to sell me an 8-pot stack of the shimmers (in the colors I wanted instead of a pre-made set) for 20 dollars. 2.50$ per pot? not bad at all.
I got #37, #40, #77, #81, #85, #96, #104, #108.
Don't get me wrong, I do like the shimmers, the colors i picked are gorgeous and they do work well, but there's definitely BOUND to be cheaper brands with the very same effect. Had I not gotten them for such a steal, I would have held out and shopped around for a cheaper find.
So, my advice: If you find a Micabella stand going out of business, why not heckle with them a little!!! You just might get a steal of a price like I did.
I went to a Micabella kiosk a couple of days ago after someone else had brought them up to me. Very interesting that the bottom of the foundation jar had the ingredients listed as Mica and iron oxides, but an SPF 15 rating. Since there was no zinc oxide or titanium dioxide listed on the ingredients, there's no SPF. Or the jar is improperly labeled, so lord knows what ELSE might be in there as well. And unless they've had their products tested, they can't legally make any SPF number claim. All of the eye shadows I picked up had a combined ingredient list (one size fits all) of mica, iron oxides, may contain titanium dioxide, carmine. Which contain carmine? What if I'm a vegan? Which DON'T contain titanium dioxide so I know not to buy them since they'll have little staying power? Pay through the nose, get inaccurate information. I'll pass.
i always stop by that kiosk at the mall.. im not too into GLITTERY eyeshadows, im more of a matte person.. i mean i play around with it, id so totally use it if it didnt cost me a million dollars. i go their synthetic silk or whatever brush set. usually it was like 179 or whatnot but i got it for 85, it was a prom special or sumthing. the make up is good but its not THAT good, i wouldnt play that much for the makeup, even the make up boxes are expensive, i can get that at swapmeet for like half the price.
This is really quality make-up. A little on the expensive side, but it's all I use now and prior to using Micabella it was nothing but Mary Kay and such, now I've simplified, better quality and have a better feel to my skin and my husband has even noticed how much softer I look.
Well worth talking to the sales rep. If you need to talk let me know.
I am not a sales rep, only a product of Micabella!
:rockwoot:I have used several and then some more of the mineral products out there and have come back to Micabella. It's been the only one to maintain well in hot weather, does not give break outs and wears well without having to use much. The cost can be brought down by haggling, or shopping on line, there are many distributors now on line selling the products at $35 to $40 on the $65 and higher sold at the Kiosk. There may be many brands out there selling mineral products, but this one is the only one I have found to have the best combination mixture and finer powder quality.
One thing I found out is it might be very expensive but I bought the foundation and a brush for like $80 including taxes, and I thought I had gotten ripped off till it lasted almost a year! And that was with wearing it every single day. So I figure $80 a year for foundation wasn't a bad price to pay at all!
I just purchased Micabella 2 days ago, I was wondering some of the same things, I wanted to make sure the chick at the kiosk didn't rip me off. She was really nice but yes pushy. But I did like the finish and was already in the market to try a mineral powder (not bare essentuals!). So I purchased the foundation, blush and 3 eyeshadows for $102.50. The chick kept trying to sell me more stuff like brushes ($80 for one brush is retarded to me sorry!) and the moisturizer $60 bucks, I didn't bite. So today I went online searching for this stuff and wether anyone else thought I was nuts for paying this much. I really really really love the products so far, I know its only been 2 days! AHHAHA! Oh and one thing, make sure they give you the right color, I had to go back and exchange it and the same chick wasn't there, so they were kinda witchy about it, even though the original sales chick wrote "No refunds, exchanges only" on the receipt. So make sure they are clear about that.
So was I ripped off? I will have to see how long this stuff lasts, and whether I continue to like it... so far so good. You need to use VERY little to cover, and I have some minor scarring and my skin looks awesome today, I'm very happy so far.
Cart n Kiosk check it out. Foundation 42.95, but I'm not sure about the shipping price... ALSO you could use that as a negotiating point at the mall. Tell them they're crazy if they think you're gonna pay 60 bucks when you could get it for 42 online!
One last thing, the moisturizer is 29.95 onlin (cartnkiosk) so don't let them try to sell you for 60! or make it seem like you're getting a great deal by "knocking the price down to $30". Hope that helps.
I have a friend who used to work at Micabella she said it's a rip off of the high end mineral make ups but crazy overprice their products. Which basically she said to avoid it.
Thks for the info. i guess i'm kinda stuck with it since they dont do returns. i'll have to make the best of it ) i hope it continues to work for me.


Multiple sources are reporting Matt Eberflus -- who has been the linebackers coach and passing game coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys -- will leave to join the Indianapolis Colts as the new defensive coordinator. Eberflus has been with Dallas since 2011, having joined Rob Ryan's staff when Ryan become the coordinator for the Cowboys' defense.
He has been the linebackers coach during his entire Dallas tenure and was also named passing game coordinator in 2016.
If not the Colts, some thought Matt Eberflus might end up replacing Matt Patricia as the defensive coordinator in New England. Either way, it does not appear Dallas could have kept him around while Rod Marinelli remains in his current position.
Eberflus' work in Dallas speaks for itself, and primarily through LB Sean Lee.
He has been Lee's position coach for all but his rookie season, and in that time Lee has been one of the top defensive players in all of football.
Beyond Lee, Eberflus has also been able to get quality play out of mid-round picks like Anthony Hitchens and Damien Wilson. We also saw Jaylon Smith make significant progress this season.
Given Matt Eberflus has never worked with Josh McDaniels before, the fact he was on the Colts' radar says a lot.
Make no mistake; the Cowboys lost a good one here.
Don't panic, however. Coach Marinelli has cast a very wide net during his time in the NFL and there are a lot of potential guys, some with plenty of experience, that Dallas might look to.
It's entirely possible that Eberflus' replacement will be someone who Marinelli spends 2018 grooming to take over as the defensive coordinator.
Still, of all the coaching changes so far for Dallas, this one hurts most.
Will Terrance Williams be Back with Cowboys in 2018?
Are the Dallas Cowboys Building a Championship Defense?

Quinn Hughes sees 'big differences' in brother Jack's NHL draft experience
Canadian Press
Jack HughesQuinn HughesNew Jersey DevilsVancouver Canucks
Quinn Hughes wasn't about to give his younger brother much advice heading into the NHL draft.
VANCOUVER — Quinn Hughes wasn't about to give his younger brother much advice heading into the NHL draft.
Sure, Hughes had been there before, having been taken seventh overall by the Vancouver Canucks last year. But he knew his brother's experience was going to be markedly different.
Speculation had been rife for months that Jack Hughes would be this year's No. 1 pick.
"It's not a big difference but it is a big difference, the hype and everything like that," Quinn said last week before the big event. "But I don't think he's needed much help or anything like that."
Jack Hughes was first off the board on Friday night, selected by the New Jersey Devils. The brothers had, however, talked about the possibility of ending up on the same NHL team.
"Maybe down the road," Jack said. "Right now we're going to be looking forward to beating each other next year."
Canucks general manager Jim Benning said Quinn Hughes did lobby to have Vancouver switch picks and make a run at his brother.
"Yeah, I had conversations, but they didn't last long," Benning said.
Jack Hughes has drawn awe for his speed and style, but Quinn thinks there's something else that sets him apart.
"Obviously he's very skilled on the skating, hockey sense, hands, everything like that. But how competitive he is, I've always thought that's the big difference in him. He doesn't care who he's playing, he's going to go at you," Quinn said.
"He's so dialled in. I don't know what normal teenagers do, but he's dialled in, he's working out in the morning, getting the right sleep and rest and food and everything like that."
Jack said that drive and work ethic comes from his dad, Jim Hughes, who's long worked in coaching and player development, including for the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs.
"You've got to give things, sacrifice things to be the best. That's what we've always done and will continue to do," Jack said.
The Hughes brothers honed their work ethic in the U.S. National Team Development Program, where Jack tallied 34 goals and 78 assists last season. He was one of eight players from the program taken in the first round of this year's draft.
The program provides an intensive environment for players who truly want to excel, Quinn said.
But it's nothing like the life of a normal teen.
"When I was there at 15, we were getting up at 7, getting ready for school, going to the rink at 12, having study hall for an hour, working out, skating, then we had this military guy that would put us through some push ups. We wouldn't be home until like 7:30 (p.m.)," he said.
"You're like 15 years old and no one else is doing that. And you do that for two years and all of the sudden your game takes off."
The youngest Hughes brother, Luke, is set to join the development program this year. His brothers have no doubt that he'll soon be following in their footsteps at the NHL draft.
"He's going to be a hell of a player. He's big, can skate, can think," Jack said. "He's pretty much a clone of Quinn, two or three inches bigger. It's pretty exciting."
For now, though, there are two Hughes brothers linked to NHL franchises.
Quinn Hughes played five games with the Canucks last season after finishing an impressive collegiate career at the University of Michigan.
Jack Hughes is expected to join the Devils this fall.
Already, the brothers are thinking about playing each other next season.
"It's going to be higher stakes. It's going to be really special," Jack said. "My mom is going to be really nervous. But all my family will watch. My friends will watch. It will be a really special game. It will be something to look back on."
Though Jack Hughes was only drafted on Friday, talk has already swirled about the pair competing for next year's Calder Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL's top rookie.
There's one person, however, who isn't ready to entertain such thoughts.
"Man, we're a long way from that," Jack said. "I haven't played a game in the national league. I'm not too worked up about that."
Hughes brothers have arrived and they're eyeing a long stay
Jack and Quinn Hughes have come a long way from playing mini-sticks together in their basement.

The General Election on May 7 is fast approaching and the political parties will soon be publishing their manifestos, including their plans for animal welfare should they win.
But how important is animal welfare to the individual candidates asking for your vote?
IFAW takes politics seriously because politicians' decisions can do much to improve – or harm – the welfare of animals.
We have therefore created a new webpage where you can find out who is standing for Parliament in your area and what they think about animal welfare.
If your candidates have not already revealed where they stand on these important topics, you can email them directly through the site and ask them to outline their positions.
By doing this, you are showing candidates how important animal welfare and conservation issues are to their electors.
Please don't leave this to someone else to do – it won't do any harm if candidates receive more than one email, it will demonstrate to them how important animal welfare is to their voters.
Do keep an eye on this election page as we will be updating it as candidates send us their views.
I know I'll be keeping watch on mine!
We would love to hear your views via Facebook or our political Twitter @IFAWWestminster. We are sure that those candidates backing our campaigns would appreciate a supportive tweet or email too!
During an election, candidates often come to our doors to canvas for our vote or send us surveys to complete. There are also likely to be public meetings and debates.
If this happens in your area, please take the opportunity to let your candidates know how important animal welfare issues are to you and ask what they would do for animals if they were elected – and let us know their responses!
Together we can make sure that those who are elected are aware of these important issues and are working to protect British wildlife and animals around the world.
Thank you again for speaking up for those that can't speak for themselves.
Managing the parliamentary and government relations for IFAW's campaigns in the UK, including wildlife crime, whaling, badgers and hunting with dogs, Ros works with parliamentarians to improve and protect animal welfare policy and legislation.

Home/News/Dr Ihor Kociumbas – 16.6.1944 – 4.7.2020
Ihor was born in Sianok, Western Ukraine, on 16 June 1944.
In 1949 his parents and two brothers were accepted for immigration to Australia to start a new life after the horrors of World War 2 in Ukraine and Europe.
The family set sail for Australia from Naples in March 1949, arriving in Melbourne a month later.
The next stop for the family of five was the migrant camp in Bonegilla, some 335 kilometres north of Melbourne.
After a brief stay there, the family settled in nearby Albury before eventually moving to Sydney, where he started high school.
Following completion of high school, Ihor enrolled in Medicine at the University of Sydney where he graduated with the degree of MB,BS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) in 1973.
In 1980 he was awarded the Diploma in Diagnostic Radiology from the University of Sydney. He was appointed Fellow in Radiology at the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children in Sydney and in 1982, and, in 2009 he was admitted as Fellow to The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists. He was also a member of The Interventional Radiology Society of Australasia (IRSA).
Ihor devoted almost 50 years of his life to healing people … to serving his profession with dedication and consummate skill. He loved the challenge that radiology, and particularly his specialty of interventional radiology presented – the detective work, the chance to hunt down the culprit and to deal with it without subjecting patients to surgery.
Also a passionate teacher, Ihor enjoyed teaching medical students, residents and registrars the dark arts of radiology – mentoring and passing down his knowledge and skills to the next generation was something he took very seriously and delighted in.
Ihor will be remembered as contributing immensely to IRSA since the early days of the society. He was particularly involved with growing the society and contributing to IRSA when the presidency first moved to Sydney.
Ihor's life ended on the evening of 4 July 2020 at the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, Sydney, after a long and hard-fought battle with cancer.
He had a wonderful live, well lived. He was a beautiful soul with a bountiful heart.
May he finally rest in peace

Are these composite wheels tough enough for the trails?
Carbon wheels tend to be stiffer and a little lighter than aluminium rims, but for most riders, the initial cost and expense of crash replacements is prohibitive. At £750 for the pair, these 1,900g, 650b Ridge Pro Carbon wheels aren't exactly cheap, but they're a good whack less than most of their rivals, though they may weigh a little more.
We found it easy to seat tyres on the 35mm (external) hookless rim and out on the trails we've yet to burp a tyre or put a rim out of line, despite our best efforts — whether that involves hanging the back wheel out to dry or recklessly squaring off turns at speed.
Their stiffness means they're relatively rapid to get up to speed despite not being the lightest wheels out there and the precision when tackling ugly terrain is seriously impressive, bolstered further by the great tyre profile produced by the 29mm internal rim width.
The near-constant whir out back reminds you just how many points of engagement lie within the own-brand freehub, and when you get on the gas the pick-up is instant.
Although we've not subjected them to a full UK winter yet, the bearings are still running smoothly too.
While £750 may still sound a lot for a wheelset, the Ridge Pro Carbons more than justify the cost.

Santos slammed after refusing government requests for controversial CSG project
Farmers and concerned citizens in north west NSW say the latest submission made by Santos about its controversial Narrabri CSG project is "arrogant" and "dangerous", with the company refusing to provide information and commitments requested by the State Government and Narrabri Council.
Santos recently submitted a "Supplementary Response to Submissions" to 14 NSW Government agencies' requests for information, data, and commitments from the gas company regarding the environmental risks of its proposed coal seam gas project.

Inquiry into Inland Rail supported by CWA of NSW State Conference in Albury
The map that does not make sense (unless you are the owner of the red box ie Santos).
No business case has been released for this greenfield rerouting of the Inland Rail right through the Pilliga forest (no farms in there!) and the CWA have now joined NSW Farmers and Labor in the call for an inquiry.
"The conference voted to request the federal government hold an independent inquiry into the green field routes and funding for the inland rail project."

ICAC seeks comment on lobbying conduct and regulation in NSW
The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is seeking public input as part of a new investigation it is conducting into the regulation of lobbying, access and influence in NSW (Operation Eclipse).
The Commission released a discussion paper today, Enhancing the democratic role of direct lobbying in NSW, which, amongst other matters, addresses principles of transparency, integrity and fairness concerning or associated with lobbying practices in NSW. The Commission engaged academics Dr Yee-Fui Ng, Senior Lecturer, Monash University Faculty of Law, and Professor Joo-Cheong Tham, Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne, to prepare the discussion paper, which invites respondents to address questions based around the main principles.
The discussion paper is appended to an introductory paper, The regulation of lobbying access and influence in NSW: a chance to have your say, which also explains how to make a submission. In this paper, ICAC Chief Commissioner the Hon Peter Hall QC notes that lobbying, when conducted on proper lines, can have beneficial outcomes. However, it could also be argued that "lobbying might lead to decisions by government and/or public officials in circumstances of unjustified secrecy, where processes are sometimes criticised as lacking transparency or accountability, while particular groups or the public generally are denied the opportunity of being heard."

A Harbinger of Things to Come': Farmers in Australia Struggle With Its Hottest Drought Ever
By Casey Quackenbush | Photographs by Adam Ferguson for TIME February 21, 2019
Santos declines NSW Government request for more info about CSG project.
Jamieson Murphy - Northern Daily Leader
SANTOS has been slammed for refusing to provide the NSW government with the requested information about its coal seam gas development near Narrabri.
The gas giant recently responded to the concerns of various organisations, including 14 government agencies, in its Supplementary Response to Submissions.
In the report, Santos refused more than a dozen specific requests for information and commitments from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA), the Rural Fire Service, and Narrabri council.
Narrabri farmer and Lock the Gate spokeswoman Sally Hunter said the company had refused the RFS's request to not flare gas during catastrophic bushfire conditions.
"This shows an extraordinary and reckless disregard for the safety of our community," she said.
"Santos has also refused the EPA's request to assess the capacity of landfill facilities to accommodate huge volumes of salt waste with potentially high concentrations of metals and other contaminants.
"It has refused Narrabri council's request that it obtain environmental insurance for offsite and long-term environmental harms, despite this being a recommendation made by the NSW Chief Scientist for all coal seam gas operations."
An NSW Department of Planning and Environment spokesperson said the company's response was being reviewed, in consultation with the relevant government agencies.
"In finalising its assessment, the Department may request additional information from Santos before referring the proposal to the Independent Planning Commission, which will make the final decision," they said.
"The Department wants to ensure a rigorous and comprehensive assessment is undertaken, given the complex nature of the application and the high level of community interest."
Santos did not respond to the Leader's request for comment.

Greens Candidate stands down to become an Independent in Parkes
Hi friends, I suppose most have heard that I have stood aside for the election following public disclosure of a post I made on a Port Arthur conspiracy site on FB, 8 months ago. The Greens found it difficult to refute in this stage of the election which I understand. I really do apologise to all of you who have helped me get this far.
It appears I was targeted by a journo from The Australian using a firm who does handle searches on social media etc, not sure who they are. I really don't think the tragedies of the past need rehashing like this in public view and it must grieve families and survivors of the tragedy to see it being discussed like some political football. I also apologise to those people who are affected in this way, very much.

It's time to work together for the future of Barwon - Roy Butler
Barwon
This week I had the honour of delivering my inaugural speech in Parliament. An opportunity to talk about my goals for the next four years. To you the people I represent I restate my election commitments – to work hard and be honest.
Across the electorate I have met many people who are incredibly passionate about the future of their community. They want recognition that at this moment in the history of NSW the government is faced with a choice. They continue to treat the communities of western NSW in the same manner they have been or they change their focus and reinvigorate the bush.

Over the summer, I was given the opportunity to help out at an organization called GO Project, which basically is a summer school for low-income students receive better resources to learn more and enjoy themselves. I was only one out of many volunteers and my main jobs were to assist a martial arts elective class for first and second graders and to also help serve lunch to elementary school students.
This experience has enlightened me on how important it is to help out the youth in need. Many of those children were poor and couldn't afford enough food to eat or to receive a better education. The GO Project offers educational classes in the morning and extracurricular classes in the afternoon. There were some children who also faced abuse in their families and were avoidant of any interaction. While assisting the martial arts class and serving lunch, I found that the children were very energetic and lovable. They easily attached to me once they saw that I didn't mean any harm and they were super sweet towards me. However, they didn't seem to like the criticism that the teachers or volunteers gave to them when they acted too rowdy, so it took some patience to calm them down and let them know what the right thing to do is. All in all, it was a very fulfilling experience to work with such young children for an extended period of time over the summer and to know how it feels like to take an authoritative position.
On Service Day, my advisory went to the Bronx Food Distribution Warehouse where we helped sort food for the day. We were given crates of donated supplies and we were put in charge of sorting all of those supplies into separate categories and we were also responsible for throwing away expired foods.
This experience have given me a sense of how kind people are in the world and how easily we can help others obtain a better life. There were crates and crates of donated supplies, which already showed me how generous some people are to help those in need. Many of those supplies were everyday grocery items like vegetables, cereal, grains, pet food and even baby supplies. Those items aren't that expensive to purchase, but it helps out those who don't have enough. We were given a statistic of how many people we helped that day just to sort those foods and it was somewhere in the hundreds and it made me feel pretty good that we were able to help so many people in just one day. It makes me wonder how many people could receive help if everyone does a service day once in a while.
I volunteered for NYC Cares through an organization called Breakthrough New York. What I did over the summer was, for three days, I would volunteer at a different site for four hours with NYC Cares. I entertained elderly by playing Bingo with them for one of the days. Then, I helped decorate a local library for another day. I also worked at a food pantry. Over the course of the summer, I was able to see the joy in helping others out. The elderly was overjoyed that someone came to visit and you could see it in their faces. The librarians and the people working at the food pantry were also appreciative of what we were doing.
My group's social issue is teenage runaways. The organization that we chose is Safe Horizon. Safe Horizon helps provide teen runaways with daily necessities like warm meals, warm showers and shelter. Before working on this project, I never really saw or noticed any runaways. So, teen runaways never had an impact on me since I didn't know how they suffered. Now, I know that many of them had been abused, causing them to run away and that once they did so, their lives became increasingly difficult without shelter, or a proper education. During this project, I developed presentation skills, like speaking more clearly and slowly and not looking at the presentation when speaking. The most challenging part was also the presentation because I was very nervous when speaking. I found that visiting the site was the most rewarding because I saw how Safe Horizon made a difference and how happy the runaways were. To remain engaged, with my organization, I might consider volunteering for them from time to time.

Polar bears invade island group, start chasing people
Authorities are concerned they may have to shoot the bears if they are unable to ward them off.

BELUSHYA GUBA, Arkhangelsk Oblast — A Russian group of islands declared an emergency situation Saturday after it says dozens of 'aggressive' polar bears have 'invaded,' according to CBS News.
The polar bears have made their way into inhabited areas of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, which has a population of 3,000 people.
It is currently illegal to hunt polar bears in Russia due to their endangered species status, but authorities are concerned doing so may be their only way to ward them off, according to the Independent.
The Washington Post reports the bears have attempted to go inside office buildings and residential quarters, chased residents and have been "engaged in other aggressive behavior."
The polar bears have been seen -- in photos and videos -- around homes, playgrounds, and even eating garbage.
The arctic bears typically live on sea ice, hunting and feeding on seals.
Scientists say as the ice has shrunk, the hungry animals have moved inland, coming into contact with human populations, according to The Washington Post.
Since December, Russian authorities say 52 polar bear sighting have been reported, according to the Independent.
"I have been in Novaya Zemlya since 1983, but there have never been so many polar bears in the vicinity," Local administrative head Zhigansha Musin said.

The Queen was only a child when she first met Prince Philip. They were together 73 years.
Belinda Jepsen
Senior Features Writer
On July 22, 1939, 18-year-old Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark sat down to lunch at the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth.
The towering naval cadet been invited to dine with members of the British royal family. Among them was his third-cousin, a reserved 13-year-old girl they called 'Lilibet'.
The teens had crossed paths twice before; at the 1934 wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and at the coronation King George VI in 1937. But by multiple accounts, the girl was fascinated by him that summer day. Though the prince paid her "no special attention", the girl's governess said she "never took her eyes off him."
Fourteen years later, that girl became Queen Elizabeth II, the sovereign leader of Great Britain and the Commonwealth, then more than one-fifth of the global population.
Throughout her record-breaking reign, that same towering prince has been beside her, or at least — as protocol dictates — one step behind.
The wedding.
Prince Philip and Princess Elizabeth's courtship was one conducted largely from afar.
With World War II pulling the prince to combat in the Mediterranean and Pacific, he managed only the occasional visit to his cousins at Windsor Castle during periods of leave. In the stretches between, he and the princess corresponded by letter, and affection took hold.
In 1946, he wrote to her, "To have been spared in the war and seen victory, to have been given the chance to rest and to re-adjust myself, to have fallen in love completely and unreservedly, makes all one's personal and even the world's troubles seem small and petty."

The prince proposed that year, and the princess accepted.
Although, it's broadly reported that there was hesitation about the match from within the court; she, the steady heir presumptive, and he a brash foreigner with little wealth and German ancestry (the prejudice was thick in the wake of the war).
Read more: From princess to nun: How Prince Philip's mother became the 'black sheep' of the Royal family.
The wedding proceeded regardless on November 20, 1947, in a display of ceremony and excess not seen in Britain in years.
The 21-year-old arrived at Westminster Abbey in the Irish State Coach, a 3-carat diamond engagement ring on her finger, 91 choristers ready to serenade her, and 2,000 guests (including heads of state and royalty) waiting to witness the occasion.
Thousands lined the Mall to see bride Princess Elizabeth driven to Westminster Abbey. Image: Getty.
But faint shadows of the war lingered.
Britain was still subject to rationing, and the princess used coupons to purchase the fabric for her Norman Hartnell-designed gown.
Food shortages meant that many ingredients for the 9ft-tall fruit cake were shipped from abroad, including a significant donation from the Girl Guides of Australia that included seven crates packed with sugar, powdered milk, flour, spices and dried fruit.
The ceremony was broadcast via BBC Radio to more than 200 million people around the world, uniting people across seas and borders in celebration.
After the wedding, the couple were bestowed with their new titles: Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. Though raised in England, Prince Philip had been born in Greece and only secured British citizenship that February ahead of the nuptials. In doing so, he renounced his claims to the Greek and Danish thrones and adopted his mother's surname: Mountbatten.
Princess Elizabeth's dress featured a 4.5-metre silk tulle train. Image: Getty.
In separate letters to the princess' parents, the newlyweds wrote of their excitement about their future together.
"[We] behave as though we had belonged to each other for years!" the bride wrote. "Philip is an angel—he is so kind and thoughtful."
Prince Philip questioned whether "cherish" was enough to express his feelings toward his new wife.
"[She is] the only 'thing' in this world which is absolutely real to me," he wrote, "and my ambition is to weld the two of us into a new combined existence that will not only be able to withstand the shocks directed at us but will also have a positive existence for the good."
There would be many shocks to come, the first just five years later.
Long live the queen.
In February 1952, the couple was in Kenya on a Commonwealth tour when the princess' aides received a dispatch from London.
It was Prince Philip who relayed the tragic news to his wife: her beloved father, King George VI, had died due to a blood clot in his heart.
She, the stunned, grieving daughter, at the age of just 25, had acceded the throne.
Queen Elizabeth II was crowned on June 2, 1953, at Westminster Abbey with an audience of millions watching via the new medium of television.
Legend has it that on the day, Prince Philip turned to the newly anointed monarch and quipped, "Where did you get that hat?"

Whatever next.
In 2020, the Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip released a photograph to mark their 73rd wedding anniversary. The picture captured the couple opening a card from young Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte.
The three are among their nine great-grandchildren, branching from their four children, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.
Read more: "Harsh and hectoring": Prince Philip's exasperating relationship with Prince Charles.
The legacy forged for them by the monarch and her husband is one of unprecedented contact with their subjects.
The Queen and Prince Philip travelled widely and often to places never-before visited by their head of state, including Australia.
They were the first to engage with the crowds who flocked to see them in what became known as "royal walk-abouts".
And the first to invite film cameras into their home (the resulting documentary, Royal Family, gave television audiences a one-off glimpse at this family of figureheads, before the footage was locked away in the royal archives).

But they were also the first to contend with the tabloids.
This was not the distanced, deferential press the crown was used to. And the scrutiny of this new, more brazen breed exposed their flaws — the personal and the institutional — like never before.
As well as stirring persistent rumours of infidelity, Prince Philip is reported to have chafed against his subordinate role.
He is known to have expressed his frustration at being "the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children." Though, the couple presented a united front in taking the issue to the Privy Council in 1960, which declared the Queen's descendants should carry the name Mountbatten-Windsor.
Then, there are Prince Philip's many news-making remarks; some simply close-minded, but others overtly racist and sexist.
(As recently as 2010, during a papal reception in Edinburgh, he was captured gesturing to some tartan and asking Scottish Conservative leader, Annabel Goldie, "Do you have a pair of knickers made out of this?")
But of all the events to define their lives together, as a couple, as parents, as leaders, it's those of recent decades that seem most likely to stick.
Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II in 2007. Image: Getty.
The highly public breakdown of their eldest son (and heir)'s marriage to Princess Diana, and revelations about their apparent affairs.
The subsequent car-crash death of the paparazzi-hunted princess, and the intense anti-monarchist sentiment that followed.
The questions about their son, Prince Andrew's, association with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
And the rejection of Royal life by one of people who looked set to reinvigorate it: their grandson, Prince Harry.
Each revived the debate about the virtues of the ancient, and many would argue, archaic institution. Yet each time it withstood.
At the helm is the only sovereign most have ever known, the only to have celebrated a diamond wedding anniversary.
She and Prince Philip dutifully performed the various (and often tenuous) functions of the monarchy throughout their seven decade marriage. But the marriage itself was what performed perhaps the most essential.
Continuity.

How extraordinary that we can sometimes tell so much from so little. Extraordinary too how careful we must be to make sure we're not reading too much into small sample sizes. All of which brings me to the Japanese Hayabusa probe, a spacecraft that survived continual mischance on its journey to asteroid 25143 Itokawa, but was somehow able to return tiny grains of surface material to Earth. And using those materials, scientists are now revealing a violent past that tells us something not only about how the asteroid formed but what happened to it long after.
The work of Kentaro Terada (Osaka University) and colleagues, the investigation follows a complicated path back to the earliest era of our system. But let's start with the sample collection, which almost didn't happen: Already damaged from a major solar flare not long after liftoff on May 9, 2003, Hayabusa (the word means 'falcon' in Japanese) would also lose two of its three stabilizing reaction wheels. And when the command to deploy its Minerva mini-lander was given, the rover was lost.
Amidst these problems, JAXA (the Japanese space agency) scientists were finally able to bring the spacecraft into contact with the surface, enough so to disturb dust grains it could store for return to Earth. This would mark the first time the surface of an asteroid could be examined in the laboratory, and a decade of this investigation is yielding insights.
Image: The Hayabusa mission returned samples from Itokawa which are giving clues to the ancient history of the unusual asteroid. Image credit: ISAS, JAXA.
Itokawa was indeed formed some 4.6 billion years ago, in the formation period of the Solar System, but we also learn here that its subsequent life has been anything but serene. The second event Terada refers to would likely have been a collision with another asteroid.
Useful here is the comparison between the Itokawa particles and the composition of LL (Low (total) iron, Low metal) chondrites that fall to Earth. This work shows that the formation of Itokawa's parent body was similar to that of typical LL chondrites — their mineralogy and geochemistry bear strong resemblances — but the collision history of Itokawa, with a catastrophic event 1.4 billion years ago, is significantly different from the 'shock' ages of most LL chondrites. The Itokawa shock history resembles, in fact, that of the Chelyabinsk meteorite.
The observation of a deceleration in the rotation rate of Itokawa also constrains Itokawa's evolution to within the last 0.1–0.4 million years during which period the conjunction of the two parts referred to as "head" and "body" by a low velocity impact occurred. This conjunction must have occurred after the disruption event and the subsequent main re-accumulation and possibly while the Itokawa fragments still resided within the main belt.
Itokawa was, in other words, pulverized by the collision revealed in these data, eventually reforming into the object we study today over a period of time. Following several billion years in the main asteroid belt, Itokawa was ejected by gravitational resonances into its current Earth-crossing orbit. Drawing on previous work on Itokawa orbits, the authors predict that at some point within the next million years, the asteroid will collide with Earth or else break apart.

Here, the angle and depth are selected where the cross sections inside two phosphates become the largest. (E) Shows the "actual" microscope image after careful manual polishing. Most phosphate grains are on the order of 2 µm × 4 µm to 4 µm × 5 µm in size. Credit: Terada et al.
…we emphasize that our successful chronology results for Itokawa are based on a single brecciated particle, RA-QD02–0056, that includes several apatite grains. Such a brecciated grain is so fragile that it may not have been collected if the Hayabusa spacecraft sampling mechanism had operated as planned and its impactors struck the Itokawa surface.
We learn, however, that the Hayabusa team has found other particles that may include phosphorus materials, so further studies should put tighter constraints on the violent events of Itokawa's evolution.
The paper is Terada et al., "Thermal and impact histories of 25143 Itokawa recorded in Hayabusa particles," Scientific Reports 8, published 7 August 2018 (full text).
Why the wide uncertainty in the collision date?
The early histories of solar and stellar systems involve a phase in which masses and energies interact in quantities and intensities quite inimical to life as we know it. And even thereafter, settling into what we call "habitability" may be an exception.
Thank you for breaking that down into layman's language. One thing I don't understand.
I understand that the minerals crystallized ~4.6 bya. Do these minerals form from pure elements during a nova then form crystals later or do pure elements react later in gas phase in a nascent solar nebula or is water or some solvent required for the mineral-forming chemistry to occur? In other words, do we know the temporal chemical sequence from nucleosynthesis of elements to crystalline minerals?
fortunately looks like it should be able to be easily vaporized by a nuclear bomb.
checked on est. mass of 25143 Itokawa; 10 million tons – 3 U.S. H-bombs will do the trick.
Or just one H-bomb planted just 800 feet below the planetoid's surface by a crew of macho oil rig workers who have had two whole weeks of astronaut training.
The author can stay home on Earth. The rest of us are going to the planetoids – and stars.

Are you a weekend warrior? A lot of people participate in sports activities on the weekend or while on vacation, but professionally their lives are quite traditional. Their extra-curricular activities require they train like athletes, even though their efforts are purely for health and personal reward, as opposed to career goals. Intense training, even though they are participating for fun, is necessary for preventing injury and reaching personal goals.
These amateur athletes face many of the same challenges as professional athletes and in many cases, even more. They lack access to the same trainers and equipment as the pros, and they are forced to condition their bodies in their spare time.
The good news for amateur athletes is there are plenty of things that can be done to improve their performance and keep them feeling healthy. Chiropractic care is a great example. People participating in 5 Ks and 10 Ks, as well as marathons, and those who join mud-runs and obstacle teams, white water raft, jump from airplanes, ride horses, mountain climb, or play team sports can all use chiropractic care. No matter what your chosen activity might be, chiropractic care reduces your risk of injury, and helps you perform better and enjoy yourself more.

Attendance of previous live PCW sessions or on the PCW Dev platform is useful, but not essential in booking on this training. This 3-day training counts as a credit to full PCW practitioner certification.
The workshop is credited as a training course for LSB, mediators and as special seminar for the NLP&NLPt-Professional Master Practitioner diploma course.
Nick Kemp has been involved in communication and training for over thirty years.
In 1980s he worked in sales and marketing running a number of highly successful startup multi million pound businesses in the UK.
In 2000 he began to run trainings for the business and personal development.
The common theme throughout his all work is "problem solving" and "creative solutions" whether this is in a business, coaching, training or therapeutic context.
In 2005 Nick started developing the Provocative Change Works (PCW) model to communication and has used this approach to work with international athletes, TV personalities, medics and creative artists. The inspiration for the PCW model of communication came from Nick's extensive work with Frank Farrelly the creator of Provocative Therapy.
The practitioner deliberately provokes (calls forth responses from) the client by adopting different discrete stances, which stimulate the client into new ways of thinking and feeling. The practitioner seeks out resistances in the client and then approaches most what the client seeks to avoid in the discussion, and identifies the client's "blind spots", using a great deal of humour and by working in an improvised manner. This means "running suggestions up the flagpole" and seeing if the client responds. The practitioner creates the movement in the session and can be talking for large sections of the interaction which is very different to many other talk therapy approaches. Great use is made of "sensory rich language", and the full expression of this, to engage the client, and thus take them on a journey outside their existing beliefs and experience, to a new sense of freedom.
Many witnessing this style of working can be initially quite surprised at the amount of energy, fun and honesty that results from this approach. This makes the client session very much like any interaction between old friends where each person may interrupt the other, tease the other, wander off the point and behave in other ways which typify such encounters. This apparent freedom is of course underpinned by all the ethical and professional principles of good clinical practice. The benefit of this is that one can have warm caring and human interactions, which enables the client to find their own solutions from a new and useful state.
The seminar will be recorded on video.

Provocative intervention is a great tool and very universally applicable not only as a mediator, coach and therapist but also as a leader, negotiator, dad and much more!!
Very exciting how quickly provocative interventions can change emotions ... I have not laughed so much for a long time! Thank you!
... from my practice: Clients laugh heartily after a successful "provocative intervention" and think that this is exactly why they appreciate me as a coach and come to me!
A really great work tool!

'The Desperate Hour' Ending, Explained: Is Amy Able To Save Her Children?
Credits: Boies Schiller Entertainment/ Limelight
The action thriller "The Desperate Hour" tells the story of a single mother, Amy Carr, played by Naomi Watts, whose husband Peter passed away a year ago. Amy lives with her two kids, Emily (Sierra Maltby), who goes to elementary school, and the elder one, Noah (Colton Gobbo), a teenager. In the aftermath of his father's death, Noah has grown distant from Amy.
One day, Amy wakes up after having a nightmare and decides to skip work for the day. She plans a film night with her kids. She puts Emily on her school bus and goes out jogging after being unable to rouse Noah from sleep, who clearly doesn't want to go to school either. She is 5 miles away from home when an alert on her phone tells her that all the schools in town have been placed on lockdown. Later on, she gets to know that while Emily is safe in a shelter, shots have been fired at her son's school. What follows is the panic-inducing effort of a mother to contact her son, whom she finds out to be inside the school building.

The Desperate Mother And The Distanced Son
Amy is still coping with the death of her husband, which is why the relationship with her son, who clearly misses his father too, is not the way it should be. There is this distance that has formed that seems to be a result of a missing common link, i.e., Peter. This gives rise to the likelihood that Amy is his stepmother. This also addresses Noah's upset state, which might be a result of him missing his mother too (here we have to consider that Emily is Noah's step-sister, Amy's daughter by blood). Noah also takes Lexapro, a medicine used to treat anxiety and depression. All these can be the reasons why Amy's efforts to make Noah feel better are not out of her inability to manage work and family but her trying to get close to Noah and not letting him feel alone. But then again, the step-mother theory seems too much, keeping in mind the video that we see of the four having a wonderful time together (when Peter was alive). Either way, the fact that Amy loves both the children equally is made palpable throughout the film.
"The Desperate Hour" also addresses Noah's phone addiction, a topical issue that also contributes to aloofness and even depression. Noah is obsessed with social media, so much so that he even made a video to share the news of his father's death with the world. Social media is the way he vents out his grief, something he is unable to do in any other way. This is also a result of depression. And finally, the stage for the upcoming catastrophe is set when she mentions that she has planned a film night with her kids.
In the aftermath of the lockdown, Amy finds out that Emily is safe, but it isn't enough as she isn't with her. On top of that, she also comes to know that Noah is one of the hostages. She has lost her husband, and now it seems that she will have to lose her son too. All of this brings the film to its bare essentials: a mother, her phone, and a constant state of ever-increasing panic.
What adds to her pain even more is when detective Ed Paulson questions her about Noah. For Amy to even consider that Noah is responsible for the shooting is something that stems from Amy's questioning her own failure as a mother and not from Noah's anxiety. After being unable to reach Noah, she leaves him a message in which she immediately admits to making Noah "angry about so many things" (yet another reference to our stepmother theory).She wants to be better with him. And all she wants is for him to stop what he is doing, if at all. The catharsis comes during the end credits of "The Desperate Hour," when we find Noah doing another of his Insta Lives, where he says that he feels like things are getting better.

The Unknown Shooter
It's a shame that we are not given any details about the gunner throughout the film. We only know his name, Robert Ellis, and that he was a former food service worker at Noah's school. What he mentions in the video (about people laughing as if he was invisible) raises the probability that he may have been subjected to continuous ridicule by the students and maybe even the teachers, something that made him desperate. Films have often used this as a motivation for wrongdoings. But even then, we are unable to figure out how he got the guns. There is an absolute no-show of the gunner and his intentions. We also don't get to know what happens to him at the end of "The Desperate Hour." Is he dead or alive? Knowing this would have added to the catharsis.
A Helpful Lakewood
A very effective thing that the film shows is the sheer positivity of all the side characters. Every person Amy calls helps her in his or her own ways. But the story doesn't make them go out of their way for it. CJ ascertains that her son has gone to school. Mrs. Fisher lets her talk to Emily, which is a huge relief. Greg, who works with Amy, probably in the tax department, gives her the contact for Robert Ellis, the shooter. 911 dispatcher Dedra Wilkinson consoles her and helps her calm down. Even the cab driver gives her his phone to talk. All these good deeds are what balance the film against its weight of panic and bring us a handful of momentary smiles that do work their magic.
The Significance of Death
What's striking is that death is used as a motivation for Amy to open up to Noah. It is only after Amy hears that a woman who was a victim of the shooting has passed away that she voicemails Noah about everything they have been going through, mentioning his father, apologizing for making him feel bad many times, and, for the first time in the film (and probably for a long time in the story), telling him how much she loves him.
Interestingly, if we divide the film into two parts based on its run time, i.e., 84 minutes, we get 42 minutes. And she leaves him a voicemail 42 minutes into the movie.
"The Desperate Hour" Ending Explained: Is Robert Ellis Dead or Alive?
The film doesn't reveal if the shooter, Robert Ellis, is dead or alive. There is a point where Amy speaks to him, and he tells her that he wants all that's happening to stop. This means that he has had enough of the panic and terror of it all. But unfortunately, what he has started can only end in two ways: death or a life sentence. From the looks of it, we are forced to think that he is probably shot dead since he has already killed a woman and the police cannot risk it happening again. If Robert was captured alive, Amy must have gone to meet him in jail. And that conversation is something we would have desperately listened to.

Back in 2010, we reported on the municipal network in Spanish Fork, Utah. Back then, the utility innaugurated its telephone service, which completed its triple play offering. With recent discussion around Utah's UTOPIA, Spanish Fork is getting a second look.
Spanish Fork runs its own municipal network to deliver telephone, cable TV and Internet services. The network has deep ties with the community and is popular with residents, nearly 80 percent of whom are customers.
"It's exciting to live in community that invests in this kind of thing, " resident Bret Bills said.
Today, the city currently makes about $1 million a year profit from the service and its bonds of $600, 000 annually will be paid off in 2015.
SFCN offers services that no other company will provide and can only be implemented by the public sector. The Spanish Fork Community Network has been established to serve the residents of Spanish Fork, not the interests of some large corporation. We have involved the citizens of Spanish Fork since the systems inception through a local Citizen's Ad Hoc Committee and it has ensured the system is design to meet the needs of Spanish Fork.
Prices are incredibly reasonable and vary from $35 - $75 a month for residential Internet of 12-55 Mbps and $55 - $85 for business. There are steep discounts for adding TV services. Triple play is $90 per month for the expanded TV package and basic television is as low as $13 per month. There is no installation fee, no contract required and the first month is free.

Тэмсин Эгертон (; род. , Хэмпшир) — британская актриса.

Биография
Тэмсин Оливия Эгертон-Дик родилась 26 ноября 1988 года в Хэмпшире, Англия. Она училась в школе Ditcham Park School, неподалеку от Питерсфилда в Хэмпшире. Сама Тэмсин вспоминает, что в школе она подвергалась издевательствам со стороны одноклассников. Позже, став слушательницей актёрских курсов, девушка подрабатывала в качестве няни и делила квартиру в Лондоне с двумя подругами. Работала в качестве фотомодели агентства «ICM models».

В 2000 году сыграла Марию в мюзикле «Таинственный сад» театра Шекспира. Дебютировала в кино в 2001 году.

В 2005 году Эгертон играла в британской комедии «Молчи в тряпочку» о веселых буднях маленькой английской деревушки. В 2006 году снялась в 2 сценах фильма «Эрагон» в роли Катрины, дочери мясника, но при окончательном монтаже они были вырезаны и доступны для просмотра только на DVD. Далее следовали роли Эгертон в телевизионной комедии «Аббатство», а также роль в подростковой комедии «Одноклассницы» в том же 2007 году.

Главная роль в триллере «Острие ножа» досталась Тэмсин в 2009 году, а далее была работа в очередном телепроекте под названием «Одноклассницы 2: Легенда о золоте Фриттона». Действие фильма проходит в школе, ученицы которой, мягко говоря, не отличаются особой дисциплинированностью.

Many tears ago, the owners of El Macero Pharmacy started a "Don't Rush to Flush" bin for proper drug disposal (see Davis Enterprise story).
Volunteer opportunities are available; phone 530-666-8856 and ask for Marissa Juehler [pronounced JOO-ell-er].
Every Friday and Saturday (started Oct 2010), Yolo County offers free household hazardous waste disposal at the central landfill between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Automotive fluids, fluorescent lights, paint, pool chemicals, and other materials you should not be throwing in the trash or dumping down the drain are accepted up to a certain amount (125 pounds or 15 gallons) from any County resident. Matresses have their own area there.
The "paint closet" is a trailer where useable paint (and automotive and cleaning supplies) are set aside so county residents can come and take what they want -- up to a limit (currently 15 gallons for paint). Also open Fridays and Saturdays 7:30-3:30.
The landfill will also accept certain materials for recycling, including the usual paper/plastic/aluminum that the local trash pick-up handles. They will also take electronics, in particular CRT televisions and CRT computer monitors which contain large amounts of lead and other toxic chemicals. This is a free service available every day the landfill is open. Check the website as the items recycled is always expanding (more electrical and electronic items were recently added to the recycling, so bring that dead vacuum).
Yolo County Seniors (65+) or disabled County residents may call 530-666-8856 to schedule a free pick up of electronics or hazardous waste items.
This is also the site of one of the EPA's Project XL bioreactor projects. The Yolo landfill started with two 10,000 ton demonstration plots in 1993 has has since scaled up to two 100,000 ton cells. They work by circulating liquid throughout the solid waste, considerably speeding up decomposition and allowing for greater utilization of landfill space. Yolo uses an anaerobic bioreactor, which forces decomposition in the absence of oxygen and releases large amounts of methane gas that can be captured and used for energy generation. The current set up can generate approximately 3 Mwatts which is sold to Southern California Edison. The current power generation set up makes money for the county, which is used to keep the fees for dumping at the landfill as low as possible (so people dump there and not on the side of the road).
Some materials can be taken to Woodland Biomass instead. You can also Recycle.
According to Ramin Yazdani, an employee at the landfill, plastic bags are a nuisance at the landfill, blowing around in the wind and causing staff to set up trash fences and collect them from around the area. He took the following photos to highlight the impact of plastic bags and the efforts they employ at the landfill to minimize their escape into the surrounding environment. The photos were submitted to the City Council on his behalf a movement to ban plastic bags in Davis.
Your point is moot considering that her trash is a very small portion of that whole entire landfill, much less even a smaller portion of that "mountain" of trash. You cannot recycle everything either, so we would still need landfills, even if we recycled everything that we could.
- Just because it is made of vegetable base DOES NOT mean it is biodegradable. Conversely, just because a plastic is made from petroleum doesn't men it is NOT biodegradable. Bioplastics can last millennia when covered by dirt.
