Pamela Cochrane is behind Lana del Rey's dreamy Hollywood starlet look
TextAlex Peters
We catch up with the make-up artist to talk inspirations growing up, red carpet make-up and what beauty means to her
From digital artists to photographers, body sculptors and hair stylists to make-up and nail artists, in our Spotlight series, we profile the creatives tearing up the rulebook in their respective industries.
If you've ever found yourself admiring Lana del Rey's retro cat eyes, flawless creamy complexion, or pouty nude lips, then it's more than likely you've been appreciating the work of Pamela Cochrane.
Del Rey's make-up artist since 2011, when the singer was just a fresh-faced, newly-signed artist, Cochrane is responsible for cultivating del Rey's signature retro-Americana look that has had us all weak at the knees since "Video Games". Together with hairstylist Anna Cafone, Cochrane helped build the mythology that surrounds del Rey and her timeless, dreamy, glamorously-kitschy-in-that-classic-Hollywood-way beauty.
Obsessed with beauty since a teen growing up in Scotland in the 90s, when make-up came as free gifts with magazines and eyebrows were plucked within an inch of their lives, Cochrane cut her teeth assisting make-up legends Alex Box and Charlotte Tilbury before breaking out on her own. Today, she has countless covers (including Dazed), album art, music videos – most recently double-feature "Fuck it I Love You" and "The Greatest" – and red carpet looks under her belt. We caught up with the make-up artist to find out more...
Tell us a bit about yourself and where you grew up.
Pamela Cochrane: I grew up in small towns all over Scotland, born in Glasgow, then moved to Pitlochry, Thurso, then down to a little town called Biggar until I left home at 17, first through to Edinburgh then on to London a year later.
I do think moving around a lot as a kid has made it easier for me to adapt to places, people and situations, which helps with the nature of my job. In my adult life, I've mainly lived in London since the year 2000 as well as a three-year stint in New York which was a dream I'd always had and was one of the best character-building things I have ever done.
Do you remember the first time you were conscious of your appearance?
Pamela Cochrane: I remember my mum would always do me and my sister's hair and I used to make her spend so much time on me trying to get as high and sleek a ponytail as possible. It always had to be perfect and super high on top of my head, with a scrunchie of course!
Growing up, what informed your understanding of beauty and identity and the way you presented yourself visually?
Pamela Cochrane: In my early teens I was definitely into the 90s teen mags like Mizz, Bliss, and Sugar which always came with free gifts of sparkly make-up at the time. I was also very inspired by my friends, we were all quite into beauty and obsessed with make-up, self-tanning and over-plucking our eyebrows, which is something I think we should have all learnt about at school in the 90s! In my later teens/early 20s, Dazed and Vogue were my go-to magazines and my style icon was 60s actress Anna Karina.
Why are you a make-up artist?
Pamela Cochrane: When I was in high school around the age of 13/14, my friend's auntie was a make-up artist and gave me the opportunity to be on a children's TV show called Skoosh! I remember sitting in the make-up room having my hair and make-up done and feeling quite in awe of her and her job, so I guess that's when I first thought about it.
How did you actually get into it?
Pamela Cochrane: I was always into art at school so when I left I did an Art Foundation course in Edinburgh, before embarking on a two-year specialist make-up course at the London College of Fashion in 2000. After graduating I started freelancing on the Bobbi Brown make-up counters which was a valuable experience working on all different skin tones and types, and also funded me to continue to stay in London.
I went on to do a bit of teaching at Jemma Kids make-up school then started assisting various make-up artists on shoots and the shows during fashion weeks in London, Paris, Milan and New York, mainly assisting Alex Box and Charlotte Tilbury. This is where I really learnt new skills and very important shoot and industry etiquette.
Can you tell us a bit about your creative process, from initial idea to final image?
Pamela Cochrane: For me, the most important thing is being fully prepared with my kit so I can take on whatever the look/mood may be and adapt accordingly if things change throughout the day, which often they do. Occasionally I'll have notice beforehand and can prep with ideas but quite often it's instinctual and working in the moment. The process is definitely a collaboration between everyone on set.
Is beauty something you try to capture in your work or something that you reject? What is your relationship to 'beauty'?
Pamela Cochrane: Beauty in my work is creating a striking image at the same time as bringing out a person's natural beauty that can, at times, be hidden.
Beauty for me is how you feel from the inside as it radiates on the outside, which is why I find it important to have a healthy balance in life between work, social life, exercise/self-care, time in nature.
How would you describe your aesthetic? Would you say you have a signature look or technique that people come to you for?
Pamela Cochrane: My signature style with Lana has definitely leaned more towards cat eyes with a 60s vibe and I do love glossy skin and creamy products but overall, I find as a makeup artist you have to be versatile and be able to produce different looks depending on who/what you're doing.
What are the projects that you're most proud of?
Pamela Cochrane: Working with Lana Del Rey since 2011, just as she got signed to her record label, has been a really special journey and I feel proud to have been a part of it with her. There are also some editorials where I've been on location with some great teams when we all collaborate together well and are all excited about what we have shot, those feel like proud moments.
What's the most significant thing you've learnt over the course of your career?
Pamela Cochrane: I've learnt to be myself and trust my intuition.
How do you use make-up to tell a story or convey emotion?
Pamela Cochrane: It all depends on the character/person I am working on and my instinct in the moment.
Does your technique change depending on if the look you are doing is for red carpet/editorial/runway?
Pamela Cochrane: I would say the main thing I find with red carpet is controlling shine a little more and maybe a slightly heavier base, with more classic make-up. Whereas on editorials skin can be lighter and glossier and the make-up can be pushed more in an artistic way.
What are your desert island products?
Pamela Cochrane: Egyptian Magic, Dr Barbara Sturm Sun Drops, Shu Uemura eyelash curlers, Illamasqua gel eyeliner, Anastasia Beverley Hills brow wiz and Stila Peach Blossom lip and cheek cream.
How do you think our understanding of beauty has shifted with the evolution of technology?
Pamela Cochrane: I think digital media has made us more aware and obsessed with the image that we present to the world. It has made it more accessible and there are more voices telling us there are different types of beauty, which is why it's even more important to stay true to ourselves and our own aesthetics that make us individuals.
What advice would you give to young artists hoping to get into the industry?
Pamela Cochrane: Always say yes to opportunities especially when starting out, as you never know where it might lead to and take any opportunity to assist established make-up artists as I found that to be the most valuable form of learning.
What is the future of beauty?
Pamela Cochrane: The future of beauty I feel will be even more sustainable and ethical products, people are already more conscious of what chemicals they are putting on their skin and the packaging products come in.
Pamela Cochrane: I'm planning some make-up tutorials in between shoots and flying back and forth to LA at the moment for some promo work with Lana for her new album.

Q: Hibernate duplicates elements in parent collection while it is populating with newly persisted childs Can somebody explain the following strange behaviour I encountered? I am trying to persist some new child objects and simultaneously add them to to the parent collection. At the end there are twice as many elements in parent collection as I expected. Let me show the example:
@Entity
public class A {

    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Id
    private Integer id;

    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "a")
    private List<B> bs = new ArrayList<>();

    public Integer getId() { return id; }

    public void setId(Integer id) { this.id = id; }

    public List<B> getBs() { return bs; }

    public void setBs(List<B> bs) { this.bs = bs; }
}

@Entity
public class B {

    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Id
    private Integer id;

    @ManyToOne
    private A a;

    public Integer getId() { return id; }

    public void setId(Integer id) { this.id = id; }

    public A getA() { return a; }

    public void setA(A a) { this.a = a; }
}

Test case:
@Test
public void test() throws Exception {
    entityManager.getTransaction().begin();

    A a = new A();

    entityManager.persist(a);
    entityManager.flush();
    entityManager.clear();

    a = entityManager.find(A.class, a.getId());

    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        B b = new B();
        b.setA(a);
        entityManager.persist(b);
        a.getBs().add(b);
    }

    assertEquals(3, a.getBs().size());

    entityManager.getTransaction().commit();
}

Result:
java.lang.AssertionError:
Expected :3
Actual   :6

I don't ask how to modify given code to achieve expected result.
I want to understand why given code behaves like this.

Update: Works fine with EclipseLink and DataNucleus, but fails with Hibernate.
Thanks to @riskop answer and my further investigation we can summarize:

*

*EclipseLink 2.5.0 - It works as expected.

*DataNucleus 4.1.9 - It works as expected.

*Hibernate 5.1.0.Final, 5.0.3.Final 4.3.11.Final, 4.2.21.Final,... - It just doesn't work.

A: Unfortunately I can't tell you exactly how this happening
But I would say that this is a Hibernate bug. It should return 3.
I checked this with Hibernate 5.0.3.Final and experienced the same problem. Then I checked the exact same code with DataNucleus 4.1.9 and that works as expected (no duplicate size of the collection).
However, even with Hibernate the problem goes away if you do any of the following:

*

*NOT using @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY). GenerationType.IDENTITY is discouraged, and can be source of other problems (just google for it). If you change it to auto, then Hibernate works OK.

*change to Eager fetching on entity A ( @OneToMany(mappedBy = "a", fetch=FetchType.EAGER)

*initializes the collection on A after loading it from the database (via calling a.getBs().size() for example).

A: I'm not terribly familiar with either Hibernate or Spring, but should
entityManager.flush();
entityManager.clear();

be called after
entityManager.persist(b);

(possibly in addition to where you already have it)

FEMA and FCC to take over all U.S. cell phones and airwaves Sept. 20 in nationwide "test"
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will be taking over all cell phones and airwaves in the United Staes on September 20 to "test" the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts.
Today, the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) provides notice to all Participating Commercial Mobile Service (CMS) Providers, Participating CMS Providers are commercial mobile service providers that have elected voluntarily to transmit WEA alert messages. 47 CFR § 10.10(d), (f).
Emergency Alert System (EAS) Participants, EAS Participants are those entities that are required to comply with the Commission's EAS rules, including analog radio and television stations, wired and wireless cable television systems, digital broadcast systems, digital television broadcast stations, Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service, digital cable and digital audio broadcasting systems, and wireline video systems. 47 CFR § 11.2(d).
and to the public that, as described below, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in coordination with the FCC, will conduct a nationwide combined test of the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) and EAS on September 20, 2018, with a back-up date of October 3, 2018. See Letter from Alfred Kenyon, Chief, Customer Support Branch, IPAWS Program Office, National Continuity Programs Department of Homeland Security – FEMA, to Marlene H. Dortch, Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission (filed July 10, 2018) (on file in PS Docket No. 15-91 et al.) (FEMA Letter).
At 2:18 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), FEMA will send a WEA test message to WEA-capable wireless devices throughout the entire United States and territories. Today the Bureau also released an Order granting a limited waiver of the Commission's WEA rules to require Participating CMS Providers to participate in this combined test. Improving Wireless Emergency Alerts and Community-Initiated Alerting; Amendments to Part 11 of the Commission's Rules Regarding the Emergency Alert System, PS Docket Nos. 15-91 and 15-94, Order, DA 18-752 (PSHSB July 20, 2018), https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-grants-waiver-allow-wireless-emergency-alert-test.
All wireless providers that have elected to participate in WEA are required to participate in this nationwide test. FEMA indicates that the test will use the Presidential Alert classification. FEMA Letter at 1. Participating CMS Providers are required to receive and transmit any WEA messages using the Presidential Alert classification. See 47 CFR § 10.400.
Immediately following the WEA nationwide end-to-end test, at 2:20 p.m. EDT, FEMA will conduct a live test of the EAS. All EAS Participants are required to participate in this nationwide test. 47 CFR § 11.61(a)(3)(i).
THIS IS A TEST of the National Emergency Alert System. This system was developed by broadcast and cable operators in voluntary cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Communications Commission, and local authorities to keep you informed in the event of an emergency.

"It's something that shouldn't happen in football."
In 2020, the derby against Everton wrapped up Liverpool's title defense in the Premier League.
The 239th Merseyside Derby between Everton and Liverpool will take place in Liverpool on Wednesday. In the last duel a year ago, Virgil van Dijk and Liverpool's Thiago were injured after bad mistakes. Jurgen Klopp has not forgotten that.
"This is not my favorite game," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said in the Merseyside derby. Images of two brutal attackers against superstars Virgil van Dijk and Thiago from last year still weigh heavily on the 53-year-old's stomach.
For Van Dijk, the season ended prematurely in October 2020 after Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford joined, and Thiago was off for three months after the horrific Richarlison blunder. Klopp doesn't want to talk about that before the game on Wednesday.
The Liverpool boss scolded reporters at a press conference on Tuesday with "I have nothing to say on this because you are not going to convey it properly" and only then spoke about it. "It's something that shouldn't happen in football. I can't remember anything like that since then."
The German assures that his players will be able to handle the situation. "We are all human and it's hard to forget something like that."
After Jordan Pickford got on board, Virgil van Dijk was absent for ten months.
Benitez: "We have to do well"
Everton manager Rafael Benitez, who once led Liverpool to the Champions League title (2005), knows very well the Merseyside derby. However, for him, there are no casualties at the front – points have to be found. "It's something special and we have to do a good job," the Spaniard warned.

The 61-year-old, who has come under fire from Everton fans over his past with Liverpool since taking over, is hoping for a turning point in the season after recent unsatisfactory results. "It will be an opportunity for us to change things and improve for the rest of the season."
Everton have been waiting for a home win against local rivals Liverpool since 2011. Also historically, the pudding in the derby at the local Goodison Park does not work out well. In 100 Premier League duels, Everton have won only 22 times. Liverpool have already scored 46 away wins.

Blindspot Review: "Devil Never Even Lived"
Jasef Wisener 6 years ago
Blindspot has been a little uneven through its first two episodes back from hiatus, but the unfolding mystery has offered just enough promise to keep the audience interested. That can't last forever, though, and only time will tell how long it will take for viewers to get bored. Let's see if things changed in this week's new episode, "Devil Never Even Lived."
One question that we needed answered on this show was what Borden has been up to since his cover was blown. We finally see in "Devil Never Even Lived" that he's now acting as a full-fledged leader in Sandstorm, asserting his abilities where he can. It's an intriguing new angle to see this character in after a season and a half of watching him live a lie, and I'll admit that I'm much more interested in his development than in Roman's.
Speaking of Roman, the writers are doing a bit of a better job with making his memory loss journey different from Jane's than I expected. This is very clear near the beginning of the episode when muscle memory comes into play, and I'm so glad that it isn't just a straight rehash of what we've seen before. The story is also giving us a much better chance than before to explore Jane and Roman's relationship, and it's proving to be way more involved than anticipated.
The story this week, like many good episodes of Blindspot that came before, involves going undercover. I absolutely love when these characters get the chance to explore a different avenue than the norm, and the biker bar story here is one of the best examples of that. Jaimie Alexander is great on this show as Jane, but she's even better as undercover Jane.
We got some really good character development this week, too, from both Patterson and Nas. Both of these characters (and their actresses) have been my favorite parts of this entire series, and I'm so glad that they're getting some solid progression in. It's easy to see how the recent events would affect Patterson in the way that they have, but we also have to remember (as Patterson points out) that Nas should have known about Borden (since that's, really, her entire job). Both of these women have to deal with what's happened, and it's good to see some real emotion from them both.
The episode ends with new developments in both Jane's relationship with Weller and the overall mystery of Shepherd, and I can't wait to see where things go from here. The nicest thing is that I feel some actual momentum from the show, and that should propel things well moving forward.
What did you think of this week's new episode of Blindspot? Are you still invested? Let us know your thoughts in the comments down below!

In my last post I talked about the cost of fast fashion and the retailers' model of making clothes trendy, cheap and disposable so that they are soon discarded for newer purchases. In this post I'll talk about how by buying better you can buy less (and in the long run save money).
There is no denying the lure of cheap clothing – it's easy to fall into the honey trap of fast fashion when a blouse basically costs the same as lunch. However, to make these clothes so cheap, they are often made out of low quality fabric that can fall apart after only a few wears and washes; quality control is also fairly low on the priority scale as these clothes are made quickly and in bulk to ship them to the stores so they can fulfill the fast turnover of stock (this horror story comes to mind). Fast fashion is also heavily trend driven – they follow runways closely and then replicate high-end designers' looks at a fraction of the cost. However, who is to say that a trend will still be popular in a couple of months?
Rather than continually buying low quality clothing, shoes and accessories, it's worth considering spending a bit more on high-quality items that last. These items tend to be made of higher quality fabric, have a better fit, and because you've paid more for it you tend to take care of it better. As a result, these clothes last longer, and hopefully reduce the need to constantly replace or update your wardrobe. At the risk of sounding a like a broken record, with any purchase you make be sure that what you do buy works with your existing wardrobe and your style – if you don't end up wearing it, it's still a waste of money, even if it's a designer piece.
Of course, not everyone can afford designer items, so look at high-street brands that have better quality items compared to their fast fashion counterparts. And don't forget buying second hand – check out sites like eBay, or apps like Shedd or Carousell, to find high quality designer pieces at discounted prices.
Wondering what brands and labels we love at the Sugarmamma office? Here's a list below of both good quality high street brands and designer labels, with some tips on what you can buy from them.
Check out Canna's videos below for more tips on buying well!

We will always try our best to resolve any outstanding issues with you and if it is thought appropriate, we will suggest a meeting with this in mind.
If following your receipt of the response from Andrew Kormornick you are still not satisfied, you will be able to make a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman provided you do so within six months of the end of our internal complaints procedure.
Any complaint to the Legal Ombudsman must usually be made within 6 years from the date of the problem which brought about your complaint, or within 3 years of the date you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint. In addition, only individuals and certain small companies, trusts and charities are eligible to make complaints to that office. For further information, please contact the Legal Ombudsman using the details below.
c) where an Ombudsman considers that in-house resolution is not possible due to irretrievable breakdown in the relationship between the firm and the complainant.
You should also be aware that, when your complaint relates to a bill, the Legal Ombudsman will not consider your complaint whilst your bill is being assessed by a court.
10. If we have to change any of the timescales set out above, we will let you know and explain why.
11. Alternative complaints bodies exist which are competent to deal with complaints about legal services in circumstances where both you and A S Matthews Limited agree to use such a scheme. Details of these bodies can be found at the European Commission's online dispute resolution website: http://ec.europa.eu/odr. However, in our experience the Legal Ombudsman's scheme is the most suitable body to deal with any concerns of yours which we are unable to resolve.
I was very happy with the conveyancing service I received from Wendy and the staff. Everything was dealt with quickly, and Wendy was also very good at chasing the seller's conveyancer, so unnecessary delays were avoided.


Inlays and onlays are custom restorations that can repair large cavities when a filling would be insufficient, but a crown would be excessive. Iroquois Family Dentistry in Nashville, TN, uses CEREC® technology to create and place inlays and onlays in a single appointment. Drs. K.B. Parkes, Gary Waltemath, and Karen S. Keenan are here to provide the right solution for your needs.
An inlay replaces part of the chewing surface of the tooth. An onlay replaces part of the chewing surface as well as one or more cusps (raised outer edges).
Inlays and Onlays: What Is the Difference?
Dental inlays are used to treat a tooth with damage or decay lying within its indented top surfaces, between the cusps (pointed outer edges of the chewing surface). Inlays replace part of the chewing surface as well as one or more cusps. Both can be used to replace old or damaged metal fillings.
Using CEREC® technology, we can create inlays or onlays in about an hour. Traditionally, this would take at least two visits over the course of about two weeks. We will take a digital impression of your tooth, which will be used to create a fully customized inlay or onlay using computer-guided tools. The restoration will be crafted to achieve an exact fit with your tooth. The dentist will secure your restoration to the tooth using dental cement. Any necessary adjustments can be made at this time to make certain that your upper and lower jaws meet comfortably. Patients may experience mild sensitivity in the treated area after an inlay or onlay is placed, but no downtime is required.
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations that can repair large cavities when a filling would be insufficient, but a crown would be excessive.
Have large cavities taken a toll on your teeth? If so, you could be a candidate for an inlay or onlay. Or, if you have an old metal filling you would like to replace, a custom inlay or onlay can restore both the aesthetics and strength of your tooth.
The most significant benefit of these restorations is that they provide a middle-ground between a filling and a dental crown. Some cavities are simply too large to repair with a filling. Meanwhile, preservation of healthy natural tissue is always the priority in dentistry. If your cavity is not large enough to warrant placing a crown, we can instead replace the compromised tissue with an inlay or onlay. These restorations only require removal of damaged or decayed tissue, leaving the remainder of the tooth intact.
During your consultation, your dentist will take careful note of your needs and recommend the most conservative option for restoring the health and aesthetics of your smile.
If your teeth are compromised by decay or damage, we can recommend and provide the right solution to restore strength, function, and aesthetics. Offering inlays and onlays along with crowns and fillings allows us to address any degree of damage without having to remove excessive amounts of dental tissue. Call us today at (615) 298-2040 or contact us online to book a consultation at Iroquois Family Dentistry. We look forward to helping you achieve outstanding oral health and a beautiful smile.

My ideal home style is somewhere between rustic and industrial. And lately this is one of the more current home decor trends that have made it's way into the stores. Not that it wasn't around before, but finding pieces that fit into that category was more difficult. I particularly love this style as it remains me of a ski lodge, grandparent's cabin, and my aunt's farmhouse when they used to live there. It's a simple design that just makes me feel like grabbing a throw blanket, cuddling up on the couch and watching a fire with enjoying a nice cup of hot chocolate. As it features a lot of nature-inspired textures, calming earth tones, and organic aspects that bring the spirit of the outdoors inside or around the home. I'll focus on the second home decor style, I love in another post similar to this one. But let's focus in on the first one, rustic, and how to add a rustic touch to your home.
My favorite show to get rustic inspirations is Fixer Upper with Chip and Joanna Gaines. I'm going to be sad that this show is in it's final season but Joanna does have her own blog that I love reading to get inspiration from called Magnolia Market.
I love a good throw blanket to keep you warm in the winter, especially since I live in Minnesota which can get ridiculously cold at times. The knit blanket gives that handmade look like your grandma knitted it for you and a more natural element than the fuzzy blankets. Though don't get me wrong I do enjoy those blankets as well. When I move out my mom's place into an apartment or house of my own, this is the first DIY project I'm going to do.
Plus these blankets look great on your bed, armchair, or couch. And just look inviting as all hell to cuddle up and read a book.
One thing I love about the rustic home decor style, is that there is a mixture of different textures all in a natural or neutral hue. Such as an unrefined rug or wicker dining chairs. It creates an atmosphere that is both spacious and warm at the same time. So a chunky knit blanket paired with a patterned pillow or chair that you found at a thrift shop. Or exposed brick or wood with solid neutral colored furniture.
Any exposed wood elements in your house automatically bring in that rustic feel from a barn door inside of regular closet doors to exposed beams in the living room. For your kitchen you could even go for some wooden shelving. The options are endless but it brings just enough of that rustic element into your home that it feels like you're at a cabin retreat. Now most apartments won't allow you to install the beams or barn doors, but the wooden shelvinig unit would be a good touch as well. Otherwise Target has these vinyl wall coverings that look like processed wood or wood planks, which are easy to remove so you could bring the rustic feeling in through the use of those. I did this at my previous townhouse, and loved the result!
I love a good dining table that is long with plenty of space to host guests at. And the idea of having a farm style table seems amazing for that. Mainly just because my aunt used to have one with a bench on one side and chairs on the other that we used to all gather around for Thanksgiving. Plus it's a sturdy table that feels inviting for more activities then just large gatherings. You can easily use it for homework, game nights, or regular family dinners. If you like a kitchen-island type rather than a kitchen table then these are easy to adapt into a higher surface with stools (perhaps wicker to go with the rustic theme) instead of chairs. As all you would need to do it remove the current legs then replace it with taller ones.
Have any other rustic ideas that you can add to your home? Let us know in the comments!

Snatched Snags Too Few Laughs
** (out of four)
DIRECTED BY Jonathan Levine
STARS Amy Schumer, Goldie Hawn
Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn in Snatched (Photo: Fox)
Amy Schumer became an instant movie star with Trainwreck, the 2015 summer surprise that grossed $110 million at the U.S. box office and earned the comedienne a Best Actress Golden Globe nomination. It would be tempting to state that Snatched, Schumer's follow-up flick, is a train wreck of a different kind, but that might be a tad too harsh. Ultimately, though, here's another grasping summertime slog that promisingly pairs two popular actresses and then puts them through nonsensical material.
While Snatched is (thankfully) more tolerable than the recent summer stinkers Tammy (Melissa McCarthy and Susan Sarandon) and Hot Pursuit (Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara), it never really gets out of neutral. The film casts Schumer as Emily Middleton, a slacker who gets dumped by her boyfriend (Randall Park) right as they're about to embark on a trip to Ecuador. Because it's a nonrefundable vacation package, Emily is forced to find somebody else to accompany her – after all her friends turn her down, she decides to take her stick-in-the-mud mom Linda (Goldie Hawn).
Mother and daughter are greeted at their hotel by whale cum (a clever gag), but while Linda wants to spend the entire trip reading her book safely by the pool, Emily yearns for something more exciting. She meets a hunky guy (Tom Bateman) at the hotel bar, and he takes both Emily and her mom on a jaunt through the real Ecuador – it proves to be disastrous for the women, as they're kidnapped by local ruffians and held for ransom.
Schumer throws herself into her role – here's a performer who's admirably not afraid to look ridiculous if the part calls for it – but the focus on Emily turns this into a one-woman show at the expense of her Oscar-winning co-star. Hawn hasn't appeared in a film since 2002's The Banger Sisters, but anyone anticipating a comeback won't find it here. The actress is given precious little to do besides alternating between I-love-you and I-told-you-so modes, and it's difficult to ascertain if she still possesses her revered comedic prowess since her part is so threadbare. Then again, the flatness of her character is duplicated in most other areas of Snatched, which offers a few offhand chuckles but mostly feels like a journey to nowhere.

Baltimore has more public monuments per capita than any other city in the country and is home to some of the earliest National Register historic districts in the nation, including Fell's Point (1969), Federal Hill (1970) and Mount Vernon Place (1971).More than 65,000 properties, or roughly one in three buildings in the city, are listed on the National Register, more than any other city in the nation.

Baltimore played a key part in events leading to and including the American Revolution. moved the city to join the resistance to British taxes, and merchants signed agreements to not trade with Britain.
After the Revolutionary war, the Town of Baltimore, nearby Jonestown, and an area known as Fells Point were incorporated as the City of Baltimore in 1796–1797.
and is not part of any county; thus, it is the largest independent city in the United States, with a population of 621,849 as of 2015.
As of 2010, the population of the Baltimore Metropolitan Area was 2.7 million, making it the 21st largest in the country.
United States forces from Fort Mc Henry successfully defended the city's harbor from the British.
Francis Scott Key, (1779–1843), a Maryland lawyer from Georgetown and Frederick, was aboard a British ship where he had been negotiating for the release of an American prisoner, Dr. Key witnessed the bombardment from this ship and after seeing the huge American flag on the morning of September 14, 1814, he wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner", a poem recounting the attack.Regardless, the King still gave his heir Cecil the 1632 grant for the Maryland colony.The colony was a followup to his earlier settlement in Newfoundland, known as "Acadia" or "Avalon", (future Canada), which he found too cold and difficult for habitation.The city remained a part of surrounding Baltimore County, where it had also served as the "county seat" since 1768, until 1851 when it was made an independent city, with the same status in state government as the other 23 counties of Maryland.The city was the site of the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812. C., the British attacked Baltimore outside the eastern outskirts of town on the "Patapsco Neck" on September 12, at the Battle of North Point, then on the night of September 13–14, 1814.The exact location of Old Baltimore was lost for years. APG's Cultural Resource Management Program took up the task of finding Old Baltimore. Christopher Goodwin & Associates (Goodwin) was contracted for the project.

A ruling by the Court of Appeal against Pimlico Plumbers has signalled a significant change in the way freelancing works in the workplace. It dismissed the appeal by the Lambeth-based company and upheld the ruling made by the Employment Tribunal that plumber Gary Smith was a "worker" rather than an employee.
This means he should be afforded workers' rights such as sick pay, access to the national minimum wage, holidays and the ability to bring discrimination claims.
Mr Smith, from Kent, claimed he had been dismissed when he asked to cut his five-day week, which had been signed up to work with the firm, to three after he suffered a heart attack.
He was treated as self-employed for tax and VAT purposes and had some flexibility over his hours but had worked solely for Pimlico Plumbers for six years.
However, the Tribunal ruling found that measures laid out in an employment agreement between Smith and Pimlico Plumbers, originally in 2005 and then in an updated version in 2009, indicated that he was a worker.
Mr Smith's solicitor, Jacqueline McGuigan, said the case would lead to greater clarification with regards to similar models used in the modern workplace. She described the decision as "huge" and a "resounding victory" for her client who, she argued, was "tightly controlled" by Pimlico Plumbers in the sense that he couldn't work for anyone else.
Charlie Mullins, the CEO of Pimlico Plumbers, agreed that the ruling has provided more clarity and that he has since updated the contracts used by his firm. "Like our plumbing, now our contracts are watertight," he said.
He added that he harboured no ill-feeling towards Mr Smith and that he wished him well. However, he explained how, although he would need to confer with his lawyers, it was likely that he would take the case to the Supreme Court. He said: "Gary Smith was a self-employed contractor carrying out work for Pimlico Plumbers for about six years, and during that time was very happy to take advantage of all the tax benefits of being self-employed, including being VAT registered, paying low corporation tax rate on his earnings, and claiming tax relief on such things as office space and employing his wife.
Mr Mullins explained that there were several financial advantages to adopting the self-employed route rather than working on a PAYE basis. He told City A.M. that if his company had to change the way it hires people, it would be wages which would decrease rather than increase the prices. "The plumbers would be paid less," he said.
"The prices wouldn't change, but the wages would.
The case is likely to attract interest from parties adopting and working within a similar model to the one used at Pimlico Plumbers. It is the latest instalment to the situation surrounding workers' rights in the "gig" economy, which has seen an expert panel assembled by the Government.
Led by Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive of the Royal Society for the Arts, it is looking at pensions, job security, holiday and parental leave rights as well as "employer freedoms and obligations".
However, Lord Justice Underhill, one of the judges who presided over the Pimlico Plumbers case in the Court of Appeal, warned that it should not be taken as a definitive example.
"Although employment lawyers will inevitably be interested in this case – the question of when a relationship is genuinely casual being a very live one at present – they should be careful about trying to draw any very general conclusions from it," he said.

Contact the Finance Director, Lisa Turnbough at (319)626-4777 or turnboughl@hcs-nl.com for information on tuition assistance. The most current tax documentation will be needed to complete the application.
Designate their intention to apply for financial aid on the tuition contract or re-enrollment form.
Submit a tuition deposit for each student to secure the student's placement in class. Tuition deposits will be held until awards are dispersed.
Designate, in writing, within two weeks of receiving the notification, whether or not the award will be accepted; unclaimed funds will be redistributed to other families needing assistance.
Once confirmation of acceptance is received, tuition deposits will be cashed.
Typically, awards will not exceed 50% of the annual FACTS Grant & Aid recommendation. However, if a family's award is less than 50% of the annual FACTS Grant & Aid recommendation and there has been a significant change in income status, an appeal may be submitted to the Board of Directors. During the appeals process, a family must present evidence of financial need that may not be represented in the FACTS Grant and Aid application process.
Heritage Christian School is a 501 c (3) non-profit corporation under IRS law, meaning contributions are likely tax deductible.

Canada must act quickly if we are to meet our international climate change commitments, and local governments are central to achieving our goals. Local governments influence over 50 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. The reality is clear: Canada can't be a leader without local government action.
I was thrilled to be asked to work with the Columbia Institute on this new report, Top Asks for Climate Action – Ramping Up Low Carbon Communities. Top Asks pinpoints key actions federal and provincial and territorial governments can take to empower low carbon communities.
If there is one thing that all orders of governments should be able to agree on it is a shared desire to see all Canadians living in resilient, sustainable, and prosperous communities. Federal, provincial, and territorial government can act without delay to support local governments take action on climate change.
The transition to low carbon and climate resilient communities has many co-benefits that contribute directly to our quality of life and well-being— from strengthening local and regional economies, helping people save money on their energy bills, improving air quality and protecting green space.
Ontario's Five Year Climate Change Action Plan, released yesterday, confirms the importance of local governments in achieving science-based targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas pollution whether it is promoting active transportation like walking and cycling, valuing natural capital like forests and wetlands or mainstreaming climate change policies into land use planning decisions. There are many ways local governments can support their residents and business make a difference on climate change. Ontario's success will be determined by individuals deciding to make a difference where they live and work.

Ronald Vuylsteke and Marjorie Vuylsteke
Oak Knoll Winery
For Marjorie Vuylsteke, the idea of making wine began with her love of canning food for her growing family, six children in all. She says, "I was busy canning fruit and vegetables from the garden and the farm, and I thought, 'I wonder about preserving wine?'" She looked for a recipe. No such luck. Little did she know, it was an involved process and not so simple. This did not stop her or her husband, Ronald Vuylsteke, who was working with Dick Erath at Tektronix at the time. He describes how they would spend their coffee breaks discussing winemaking.

They would make their first Pinot Noir in 1973, after Ronald became focused on the Burgundian grape. He recalls one particular high point of his winemaking career, when he entered his 1983 Pinot Noir in the Oregon State Fair and won Best of Show. He remembers, "One judge was André Tchelistcheff of Beaulieu Vineyards, who called me and told me 'I've been searching for 50 years for a great Pinot Noir; your wine is near the top.'"
Another validating moment occurred with the Valley's first French vintner. He recalls, "I got a call from the Burgundian legend Robert Drouhin. Robert, his wife, daughter Véronique and winemaker wanted to visit. I did a vertical tasting of my Pinot Noir from 1979 through 1983." Robert's indelible comment? "This is great; it is as if I were in Burgundy."
