The Community Conservation Fund Africa (CCFA) is a registered NPC whose founding sponsors are ACCORHOTELS / Mantis. These two hospitality companies recognise the urgent need for the tourism industry to play a greater role in conservation and community upliftment which will benefit Africa's wild animals and wilderness at a time when both are under threat. Without Africa's wildlife, wilderness and community involvement there will be no tourism industry in Africa, so this initiative has been created at the 11th hour both as an act of humanity and of pragmatism.
This grant-giving Foundation is registered in South Africa as a non-profit company and has uniquely brought together three internationally admired wildlife conservation organisations as its Founding members: Wilderness Foundation Africa, Tusk Trust and African Parks.
The Wilderness Foundation forms part of a global network whose main aim is to protect wilderness areas. Recognising that the protection and sustainability of South Africa's unique wilderness areas and natural heritage is dependent on socio-political and economic conditions within society, the Wilderness Foundation takes a holistic approach to implementing its mandate for conservation. Focusing on four main programme areas (Conservation; Social Intervention; Experiential Education and Advocacy & Awareness), the Foundation creates opportunities to encourage, plan and protect wild lands and wilderness, uplift the knowledge and lives of citizens and stimulate an environmental ethos among current and future leaders.
people and wildlife alike. Tusk promotes the conservation of all African wildlife and particularly the protection of endangered species. Tusks holistic approach to conservation also recognises that the long-term future for wildlife is dependent on sustainable human development. At the end of 2005 Prince William announced his Royal Patronage to the charity.
The Born Free Foundation is a dynamic international wildlife charity, devoted to compassionate conservation and animal welfare. Born Free takes action worldwide to protect threatened species and stop individual animal suffering. Born Free believes wildlife belongs in the wild and works to phase out zoos. We rescue animals from lives of misery in tiny cages and give them lifetime care. Born Free protects lions, elephants, tigers, gorillas, wolves, polar bears, dolphins, marine turtles and many more species in their natural habitat, working with local communities to help people and wildlife live together without conflict. Our high-profile campaigns change public attitudes, persuade decision-makers and get results. Every year, Born Free helps hundreds of thousands of animals worldwide. Working together with the Born Free Foundation, Worldwide Experience volunteers have the opportunity to contribute to conservation by providing first-hand assistance to maintain the sanctuary. Every little helps and you can expect to get involved with anything from eradication of alien plant forms, to assisting the veterinary surgeon.
Since 2008 the number of rhinos killed by poachers has increased by around 50% year on year. If this trend continues an animal which has walked on this planet for 50 million years will become extinct within the next 15 years. Helping Rhinos is committed to working in partnership with key strategic field projects that will make a difference in the fight against the poachers and ensuring all species of rhino can be enjoyed in their natural habitat by our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Елі М. Розенбаум ( ; нар. 8 травня 1955) — директор зі стратегії та політики забезпечення дотримання прав людини відділу Міністерства юстиції США. Його називають "легендарним мисливцем за нацистами ". З 1994 до 2010 року він був директором Управління спеціальних розслідувань Міністерства юстиції США (OSI), яке насамперед відповідало за виявлення, денатуралізацію та депортацію нацистських військових злочинців.

Біографія

Ранні роки
Елі Розенбаум народився 8 травня 1955 року в сім'ї Ірвінга та Ханні Розенбаум. Його батько, єврей, що втік від нацистського режиму в 1938, був ветераном Другої світової війни. Після війни, все ще служачи в армії США, він допитував колишніх нацистів і колабораціоністів (таких як режисер Лені Ріфеншталь), деяких з яких згодом судили в Нюрнберзі та інших місцях. Пізніше Ірвінг Розенбаум був філантропом та головою колишнього SE Nichols Corp. Заснована батьком Ірвінга, Nichols Corp. була першим власником та оператором дисконтних універмагів у Сполучених Штатах, конкуруючи з Kmart, Walmart та іншими компаніями. Компанія, що відкрила свій перший магазин у 1960 році (в Ланкастері, штат Пенсільванія), за два роки до відкриття перших магазинів Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target і Woolco, вийшла на IPO у 1969 році, а до 1977 року була 33 -м найбільшим дисконтним рітейлером у США за річним обсягом продажів (204 мільйони доларів).

Елі закінчив Вортонську школу Пенсільванського університету, де отримав ступінь бакалавра наук та ступінь магістра ділового адміністрування в галузі фінансів. Також закінчив Гарвардську школу права.

Мисливець за нацистами
Розенбаум був судовим повіреним в OSI з 1980 по 1984 рік. У 1984 році він залишив Міністерство юстиції, щоб працювати корпоративним юристом у манхеттенській юридичній фірмі , а потім генеральним юрисконсультом Всесвітнього єврейського конгресу. В 1988 він повернувся в OSI, де був призначений першим заступником директора, а потім директором. 20 липня 2009 року сенатор Річард Дурбін (демократ від штату Іллінойс) заявив у залі засідань Сенату: «Завдяки визначній роботі OSI США є єдиною країною у світі, яка отримала найвищий бал від Центру Симона Візенталя за притягнення до відповідальності нацистських військових злочинців. Я особливо хочу подякувати Елі Розенбауму, який пропрацював у OSI більше двох десятиліть і був директором OSI з 1995 року. Значною мірою завдяки лідерству пана Розенбаума та його особистої прихильності до притягнення до відповідальності нацистських злочинців».

Британський історик Гай Уолтерс назвав Розенбаума «найуспішнішим мисливцем за нацистами у світі», додавши, що через велику саморекламну діяльність самозваних «приватних» мисливців за нацистами «показово, що більшість читачів ніколи не чули про нього незважаючи на те, що в нього та його організації більше сотні нацистських "скальпів" — що значно більше, ніж загальна кількість Симона Візенталя та будь-якого іншого мисливця за нацистами».

Персонаж міністерства юстиції США, мисливець за нацистами, у романі Джоді Піколт «Оповідач» 2013 року (який посів перше місце у списку бестселерів художньої літератури New York Times) про переслідування передбачуваного нацистського військового злочинця у Новій Англії мав прототип. В інтерв'ю Washington Post Піколт назвав його «супергероєм сучасності». Під його керівництвом OSI була названа «найуспішнішою урядовою організацією з полювання на нацистів у світі» (ABC-TV News, 25 березня 1995 р.), і «найагресивніша і найефективніша у світі операція з полювання на нацистів» («Вашингтон пост», 27 серпня 1995 р.), а Центр Симона Візенталя охарактеризував OSI як єдину у світі «дуже успішну програму запобіжного судового переслідування» у справах нацистів. Газета USA Today повідомила (29 січня 1997 р.), що OSI досягла «величезного успіху, розкривши і вигравши більше справ, ніж будь-яка інша операція з полювання на нацистів у світі».

У 1997 році професорсько-викладацький склад юридичного факультету Пенсільванського університету вибрав Розенбаума для отримання почесної стипендії школи, яка щорічно вручається одному адвокату, «який відзначився своєю відданістю державній службі», «внісши значний внесок у досягнення цілей». Він також отримав нагороду Антидифамаційної ліги «Герої в синьому», нагороду помічника генерального прокурора за дотримання прав людини та нагороду кримінального відділу за особливу ініціативу.

Справи, що розслідуються і переслідуються під керівництвом Розенбаума, призвели до депортації до Європи нацистських злочинців, які згодом були засуджені там за участь у десятках тисяч вбивств, скоєних під час Голокосту. 11 січня 2008 року він був представлений у щотижневій статті «Зміна світу» на NBC Nightly News із Браяном Вільямсом.

Викриття Курта Вальдхайма
Розенбаум керував розслідуванням Всесвітнього єврейського конгресу, яке призвело до всесвітнього викриття 1986 року нацистського минулого колишнього генерального секретаря Організації Об'єднаних Націй Курта Вальдхайма, яке, можливо, стало «найсенсаційнішим» викриттям нациста в післявоєнній історії. Розенбаум був основним автором книги « Зрада: нерозказана історія розслідування та приховування Курта Вальдхайма», яка була включена до «Відомих книг 1993 року» за версією New York Times та «Кращих книг 1993 року» за версією The San Francisco Chronicle. Він показав, що Вальдхайм був причетний до скоєння нацистських військових злочинів, коли служив у німецькій армії як офіцер при нацистському режимі, і постулював радянсько-югославську змову, щоб допомогти обілити його історію. Після війни Вальдхайм став міністром закордонних справ Австрії та послом в ООН.

На момент викриття Розенбаумом Вальдхайм займав найбільш чільне місце як Генеральний секретар Організації Об'єднаних Націй і був кандидатом у президенти Австрії (вибори, які він виграв у 1987 році, незважаючи на викриття свого нацистського минулого). Австрійський уряд ніколи офіційно не вважав його підозрюваним у будь-яких військових злочинах, але йому було заборонено в'їзд до Сполучених Штатів в результаті розслідування уряду США в 1986—1987 роках, яке дійшло висновку, що він був причетний до скоєння нацистських злочинів. У статті для The New York Times від 16 лютого 2014 року Йозеф Р. Естрайх стверджував, що «останнім ударом» по самозображенню Австрії як жертви німецького нацистського режиму, а не її добровільного партнера, «могли стати вибори Курта Вальдхайма як президента Австрії в 1986 році. році, після того, як стало широко відомо, що він збрехав про свою співучасть у військових злочинах нацистів».

Викриття злочинів під час вторгнення в Україну
21 червня 2022 року Генеральний прокурор США Меррік Гарланд створив групу з розслідування військових злочинів при нападі на Україну, а головою її було призначено Елі Розенбаума.

Mayor Rejects Italian Pro-Fascist Concert in Rijeka
ZAGREB, November 3, 2018 - Rijeka mayor Vojko Obersnel said on Friday the Italian pro-fascist organisation CasaPound did not ask the city for permission to organise a concert on Saturday for the centenary of Italy's victory in WW I, as has been unofficially announced on social media, adding that he would turn down any such request.
"We would turn it down because of the fascist ideas advocated by this organisation," Obersnel said in a press release following numerous queries put to the town government.
He said the concert in question would not be held on public or town premises, but the town could not regulate events planned and organised on private premises. "However, I believe Rijeka business owners would turn down a request from this organisation and that no Rijeka concert promoter or organiser would work together with this organisation."
Obersnel said Rijeka had a long history of anti-fascism which was reflected in the protection and development of human rights, in the town's openness to tolerance and acceptance, contrary to all neo-fascist messages and concepts advocating the suppression of humans on any grounds.
CasaPound has announced on its social media that the concert will be held at 9 p.m. on November 3, giving the location as Fiume (the Italian name of Rijeka). It has also announced a march in Trieste, Italy, also on the occasion of Italy's victory in WW I. This was followed by unofficial information that the concert will actually take place in Trieste's Fiume cafe.
Slovenian antifascist associations warn president Pahor of neo-fascist rally in Trieste
Slovenian antifascist associations warned President Borut Pahor of the danger of the rally CasaPound plans to hold in Trieste on Saturday, asking him to warn his Italian counterpart Sergio Mattarella.
One of the associations, TIGR, told the two presidents the rally should be banned because it is against Italian laws which have banned the revival of the fascist party a number of times.
Slovenian daily Večer said a majority of the Italian public was against CasaPound and its rally so that a big counter-rally, supported by Italian democratic parties, could also be expected in Trieste.
Slovenian PM condemns announced rally of neo-fascists in Trieste
Slovenian Prime Minister Marjan Šarec on Friday evening said that Fascism "is the personification of the evil and should not enjoy anyone's support", while commenting on the announcements that far-right CasaPound Italy political party would hold a rally in the Italian city of Trieste near the border with Slovenia on Saturday.
Šarec said in his comment which he posted on social networks that the western parts of Slovenia and ethnic Slovenians in Trieste had long suffered under the Fascist rule, and therefore he considers the rally of that far-right party in Trieste to be an act of rubbing salt into their wounds.
The umbrella association of ethnic Slovenians in Trieste has said in the meantime that its members will join the counter-rally to be organised by left parties.

Food manufacturers aren't actually 'hiding' any sugar in their food at all because that's actually illegal as all hell, it was revealed today.
A new study has revealed that every food nutrition label ever used actually displays the sugar, fat and poison content in a clear and concise manner.
"Basically, you're all just ignoring it," said Food Label Specialist, Anthony Mack.
Consumers were shocked by the news.
"I'm shocked by the news" confirmed Sales Manager, Linda Cartwright.
The only foods that don't come with nutritional information are fresh fruits and vegetables, but that's not yet been marked as a concern by the Department for Health as most British refuse to go within 100 yards of either.
"Deep-fry the fuckers, then we'll talk" said Cartwright.

Yes, this is not a pest or a turf post but one that is always needed in our area. KEEP A LOOK-OUT FOR MOTORCYCLES !!!!!!!
We have a designated motorcycle parking area so yes, we have more than a passing interest in motorcycles and motorcycle safety here at Tri-Hill.
Numerous times a week I get comments concerning the crews (and mine) coming to and going from and the close calls we have. We generally discuss this with humor as the person beind the wheel is doing something that shouldn't be done in an automobile (cage) which translates to the fact that the driver is not paying attention and thusly posing a hazard to other motorist.
So please pay attention while you drive your car oe truck, don't text and keep an eye and ear out for those of us that are on two (2) wheels………………Thank You !

NBA Rumors: Serge Ibaka May Have Reunion In The Works; 4 Teams Interested
Dave Litman January 23, 2023 Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors
With the Milwaukee Bucks actively looking for a new home for disgruntled center Serge Ibaka, an intriguing possibility is making the rounds, as Sam Amick of HoopsHype reports that the Los Angeles Clippers could be interested in a reunion.
Several Western Conference teams have expressed interest in forward/center Serge Ibaka. That includes the Clippers, sources told Hoops Wire, who may be interested in bringing back Ibaka for the right price.
Ibaka was with the Clippers for the 2020-21 season, and half of last season, before moving on to the Bucks. In '20-21, the Repbulic of Congo big man put up 11.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocked shots per game. His numbers, however, have slipped over the past year, due to injuries and lack of playing time.
But another report, from Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, indicates that at least three Eastern Conference teams are looking into Ibaka as well.
Several teams are monitoring Ibaka, including the Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat, and Atlanta Hawks, league sources told HoopsHype. The sense is that Milwaukee would be willing to part with Ibaka for a second-round pick, according to NBA executives who spoke with HoopsHype.
A second-round pick is certainly not too much to ask for a backup center who would only be given limited minutes. The Nets might have an inside avenue to Serge due to their friendship going all the way back to their days with the Oklahama City Thunder about a decade ago.
The Heat are another interesting fit, as backup center Dewayne Dedmon is certainly on the outs in South Beach.
Ibaka has been away from the Bucks for a few weeks due to "personal reasons" which, essentially, translates to the fact that he was spending nearly his entire season pinned to the bench, out of the team's rotation.

Q: Reverse animating menu and making it mobile only I have the following code which animates a menu on my site, but I only want it to take affect on screens smaller than 800 px. and I wanted it to animate hiding from the bottom of the screen
in head

html
  ...

css
  #B-navN {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 0; left: 0;
  z-index: 999;
  width: 100%; min-height: 75px;
  background-color: #fff;
  }

  #s-nav.BN-nav-hide { bottom: -75px; }

A: I suggest trying to use this code instead.

var lastPos=0;
$(window).scroll(function(event) {
 if (window.innerWidth < 800) {
   $('#nav-BN').addClass('BN-nav-hide').removeClass('BN-nav-show');

    clearTimeout($.data(this, 'scrollTimer'));
    $.data(this, 'scrollTimer', setTimeout(function() {
   $('#nav-BN').addClass('BN-nav-show').removeClass('BN-nav-hide');
    }, 1000));
 }
});
#nav-BN {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 0; left: 0;
  z-index: 999;
  width: 100%; min-height: 75px;
  background-color: #fff;
  bottom:-30px;
 transition:0.2s ease all;
  }

  #nav-BN.BN-nav-hide { bottom: -75px; }
  #nav-BN.BN-nav-show { bottom: 0px; }

  NAV GOES HERE

There have been quite a few issues with your original code, the biggest one probably being trying to add a class to the nav with the "nav-BN" ID, and you tried using $('BN-nav') which looks for a <BN-nav></BN-nav> (You should have used `$('#nav-BN').
Learn more about the jQuery selectors here.
Edit: Changed the code according to reappear when the user stops scrolling.

A: Window width can be obtained from the Window Object's innerWidth.
var windowWidth = window.innerWidth

Usable as
if (windowWidth < 800) {
  //code
}

Usually requires an event handler for window resize event the keep variable updated.
window.onresize(function() {
  windowWidth = window.innerWidth; // references previously declared variable
})

Also highly recommending using Request Animation Frame instead of Scroll event. See this short tutorial for more info.

Over the years, we've learned a lot about reading the labels on processed foods -- but what about whole foods that have been genetically engineered? Should we be concerned about produce that originated in a laboratory? Or the results of cross-pollination from a GMO crop into the food chain?


Label Synth-Me and portal Greasp.com introduce the debut album "Influenza" of Russian electroindustrial project Dukstrab. This project was launched by DJ Adept having realized some tracks do not correspond to the core concept of his main group Anthracitic Moths. Due to severe mechanical beats, psychedelic melodies and brave improvisations in styles, Dukstrab's taking part in several compilations and participation in thematic parties arouse lively interest of the audience.
"Influenza" combines dancing and marching rhythms capturing your body with sophisticated tunes taking possession of your mind. Release also contains remixes by P01Z0N (Belarus) and DeZtructor. Synth ur life!.


While I like the ideas behind my old review scale, I took a hard, objective look at it and realized... it's kind of stupid.
The descriptions add an extra layer of complexity to something that I wanted to just keep as simple as possible. To an outside observer, it would take longer to decipher the real difference between "delcious!" "mediocre!" and "digusting!" without having it explained to them, and that's completely against the entire philosophy of my review scale.
The whole reason I stripped it to three ranks was because I felt that numbers were arbitrary. I still stand by that sentiment. Honestly, what's the difference between a 67 and a 68, or a 6.7 and a 6.8, or even a 6 and a 7? But then again, at least people are familiar with that number scale. Having a personal scale that only applies to this blog? Stupid.
Beyond that, there were still flaws in my rating scale. Having a middle rank was always kind of a cop-out for myself, so the decisions wouldn't be quite so tough because some games really do seem to sit right in the middle of the scale sometimes.
Then I realized that spending time and money on a game is even simpler than that. Either you do or you don't. Whether a game comes out to an 8/10 or a 74/100 or a D-, it's always reduced to a binary value: "Based on the review score, I will/won't spend my time and/or money on this game."
It's a pretty self-explanatory scale: A "Thumbs Up!" rating means the game is worthy of your time and money, and a "Thumbs Down!" rating means the game is not worthy of your time or money. Simple as that.
Many reviewers have expressed resentment that the general public seems to skip over the text of the review and jump directly to the score. I feel differently. It allows people that aren't invested enough in a game to read the entire review to just get a quick thumbs up or down assessment. Occasionally there are times where I'm personally just not interested enough in a game to go deeper than finding out more than the basic "how was it?" And depending on the score, I might go back and read the review to learn more about the game.
I feel that the rating should be the most concise version possible of my review. My goal is that by the time you've reached the end of the review, you don't even need to see the rating because you already know what I'm going to put. You should never be surprised by the rating I've given a game if you've read the review.
I'll have some tough decisions to make with the games that feel unworthy of a "Thumbs Up!" yet a "Thumbs Down!" feels harsh, but I think that it leads to a much better experience for the reader.

Materials like silk and cotton hardly ever take well to heat and moisture, this is why we apply a dry cleaning method which is a lot more gentle towards organic fibers. Once the stain appears be sure to act speedily and blot out if it's a solid one. Remember to work with a colourless cloth or a paper towel and start from the ends in to prevent the stain from spreading. This way you not only draw out any moisture but also some of the spot with it. If its paint don't let it dry or it will be difficult to remove, you have to keep the stain wet for our cleaners to be able to remove it fully. Once there they clean the spot with a hoover to take away any solids and draw out as much as possible. Later a fine brush is used to imbed our fine granulated dry cleaning agent into the fibers of the rug or carpet. The detergent binds with the stain draining out any leftover moisture and cutting its bond to the fibers of the spot. To avoid colour bleeding into the fabric we leave the detergent to sit for 12 minutes. Once the time us up the detergent is draw out and along with it all of the dirt it has attached itself to. There are no leftovers as a strong vacuum machine is used to finish the procedure, leaving nothing behind aside a clean carpet or rug.

Authentic Finishing's Ltd painters in Tauranga has now been using Mirkas dust free sanding systems in many of their Tauranga painting and decorating projects. The outcome very satisfied home owners with a clean painting environment. The past few years have been seeing Low Voc painting products as the number one choice for top quality painters and decorators for the environment and the home owner's choice for a solvent free environment while their painting and decorating is carried out thought their home.
Authentic Finishing's ltd are one of the only Tauranga painting and decorating company's to offer Mirkas dust free sanding solutions during their painting process. This was a no brainer for our company to invest in this system bringing a happier and cleaner work place with the health benefits being second to none for both my staff and myself.
How is does this dust free system work so good compared to other dust extraction systems you ask? Well Mirka have come up with their own patented net mesh sanding discs Abranet and Autonet along with their dust extraction Brushless Electric Sanders the Mirka Deros and Ceros. The net mesh sanding discs are transparent to look though and allow all dust to transfer though the mesh unlike other traditional sanding discs made with paper backing and having just a multi hole pattern for dust extraction.
The Mirka Deros and Ceros Brushless sanders both have Mirkas multi hole backing pads to complement their Autonet and Abranet sanding discs. Authentic Finishing's Ltd invested in the Mirka Ceros Brushless Sanders approximately 3 years ago combined with the Festool CT 26 E Dust Extractor. So when Mirka announce their new Brushless Sander the Deros it was another wise investment purchase for our Tauranga painting and decorating company.
Don't look no further for your next painter in Tauranga and contact Authentic Finishing's Ltd for a dust free painting and decorating project in your home.

Green tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant which has been cultivated and consumed for centuries, especially in China and Japan.
Green and black teas are processed differently to each other. Green tea is made from unfermented tea leaves producing a light, grassy taste; whereas Black tea's rich sweet flavour originates from fully fermented leaves.
Antioxidant power: Green tea provides polyphenols, a powerful group of antioxidant compounds that may help protect cells from free radical damage.
Oral health: A study of 940 Japanese men aged 49-59 years showed that drinking green tea can help support healthy gums1.
Heart health: Green tea consumption is associated with lower rates of heart problems in Japanese populations2. Drinking green tea may also support healthy cholesterol levels3.


Have you ever wondered what all the fuss is about Peptides? What are peptides and how do they work?
Peptides are chains of amino acids and are anti-wrinkle agents. They work by signaling the skin to make more collagen. As we age collagen is destroyed. Applying peptides directly to your skin is a way to trick your skin into thinking that it has lost collagen recently and needs to make more.
Look for products with peptides in them but be careful of the percentage claims. If a product claims 60% peptides beware!! Many of those peptides are not at full strength. a marketing hype.
Some of the latest peptides for fines lines and wrinkles to look for are: Matrixyl, Argilene and for the eye area look for products with Regu age and Eyleliss.
Thanks for sharing this simple info about peptides. It's much easier to understand when it's elaborated well.


For the most part, I'm more of a mascara person, so I never was one for the whole strong jet black cat eye look as more often than not, it'd obscure the rest of my eye makeup and make my lashes look less prominent. However, I found a compromise for when I did want some eye makeup exaggeration: brown eyeliner.
Less intense, less prone to visually blocking out my naturally black lashes, and definitely more suitable for "soft looks" or standalone wear without coming off "too strong". And well, since I trust Heroine Make with my mascara needs, I decided, why not give their eyeliner a go, too?
Waterproof & smudge proof: Longer lasting than ever before! Sebum, sweat, tears and water resistant. No more worries about smudges or smears, even when you sweat.
Ultra fine brush trip (0.1mm): Gives you total control to create precise lines and perfect flicks; delivers the perfect amount of liner.
Washable with lukewarm water: Waterproof formula yet can be easily removed with lukewarm water. Facial cleansers or Heroine Make Eye Makeup Remover are recommended for tough and hard-to-remove makeup.
Bitter Brown: Powerfully accentuates your eyes for sophisticated look.
Water, Cl 77491, Ethylhexyl Acrylate/Methyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Cl 77499, Ammonium Acrylates/Methyl Styrene/Styrene Copolymer/Cl 77266, Sodium Polyaspartate, Phenoxyethanol, Beheneth-30, Alcohol, Methylparaben, Acrylates/Octylacrylamide Copolymer, Propylparaben, Polyglyceryl-3 Disiloxane Dimethicone, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Panthenol, Sodium Benzoate, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Succinoyl Atelocollgen.
1. Before use, shake the product gently with cap on for two or three times.
2. Glide along lash line from liner to outer corner of eye.
3. For more defined look, extend the line along your natural eye curve beyond the outer corner.
The package for this product is pretty basic for Heroine Make: clear plastic with a piece of cardstock inside for illustration and the description for the product at the back.
As I bought mine locally, there is an English translation for the originally Japanese description, which thankfully, also includes the ingredients list! However, as I'm less nitpicky with non-base makeup ingredients, I won't be analyzing the list.
In terms of the actual eyeliner, it's a pen-type with a (claimed) 0.1mm tip. The colour of the eyeliner packaging is pretty accurate for the shade of brown it actually is when swatched, so that's cool. To me, it does look more of a traditional deep, warm brown, which I find works nicely on my own warm skin tone.
Now, claiming to be waterproof and yet washable with lukewarm water, I admit that it puzzled me quite a bit. It still puzzles me, in fact. So, curiously, I did try to spray a bit of water on the swatches to test out what would happen.
And sure enough, it did rub away the eyeliner quite a bit – notice how the lines seem more "faded" than when freshly swatched. However, it still remains pretty intact and does not "bleed" like some eyeliners are prone to doing. So kudos to that!
On my eyes, though, I do notice that even if I do sweat and suddenly end up crying for some reason, the eyeliner does not come off or run at all. But I do have to note that I'm not the type to rub at my eyes (no premature wrinkles, please!) so there's that.
And considering I live in a humid, tropical climate and have had my fair share of both eyeliners and mascara running down my face in addition to eyeshadow fading from my oily lids, I'm always amazed at how long this eyeliner stays on until I come back home to remove it.
What's even more amazing though is how easily it comes off with even cleansing water despite all that.
But I do have to note that since this is a pen-type, I find that the eyeliner is prone to drying up quicker than other types of eyeliner, and sometimes when I forget to do the cursory shake as instructed, the color does come off weaker than usual.
In conjunction with this, I find that I can't really draw on my liner in one go – often having to shake the pen again to continue lining from about a halfway point sometimes. However, it is quite easy to draw with, so it's not a total issue.
In conclusion, this eyeliner gets a great score of 4/5 for me. With some minor disadvantages, I can't seem to fault it much to give anything lower than that.
Easy to wash off with even cleansing water but doesn't come off from sweat and tears (no raccoon eyes, yes!) I really can't fault it much despite the fading and relatively short lifespan. It is quite pricey for me, though, so I did have to bump it down a tad in the end (originally I had it at 4.5/5).
But as always, YMMV! I am wondering if there are other waterproof brown eyeliner alternatives though, so if anyone has any recommendations, feel free to let me know!

£40 million electric car investment announced
Drivers of electric cars are set to see benefits to ownership with a £40 million investment scheme designed promote the technology.
In a bid to make more people move to lower-emissions cars, the scheme will see the largest impact on the eight areas that have won the largest shares of the money – London, Bristol, Nottingham and Milton Keynes.
Each city that wanted to benefit from the investment had to put forward a proposal, with ideas such as street lights that double as charging points and 25,000 free parking spaces for electric car users coming to the fore.
These benefits could save electric car owners up to £1,300 a year.
Transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin described the winners of the largest grants as having produced "exciting, innovative ideas that will encourage drivers to choose an electric car.
"The UK is a world leader in the uptake of low emission vehicles and our long-term economic plan is investing £600m by 2020 to improve air quality, create jobs and achieve our goal of every new car and van in the UK being ultra-low emission by 2040."
This latest news comes in the wake of a remarkable increase in the amount of electric cars being sold – 72,775 during 2015. This shows a 40 per cent increase over the previous year.
However, not everyone was happy with the news. Jonathan Isaby from the Taxpayer's Alliance said: "The Government at the moment is spending way beyond its means. It hasn't balanced the nation's books.
"The money is simply not there to fund extravagant schemes which are frankly vanity projects aimed at a very few number of people who have chosen to buy very expensive vehicles."

Kennedy funding closes $3 million land loan in St Barths

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, New Jersey – When a New York-based borrower needed a loan against property owned in another country, there was only one lender who could get them to closing: Kennedy Funding.
The Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey-based direct private lender today announced the closing of a $3 million land loan to JD St Barth's I. While Kennedy Funding stands alone in its ability to regularly and successfully close loans abroad, JD St. Barth's I presented a unique challenge.
"JD St Barth's I borrowed against land they owned in Saint Barthélemy to fund construction of a private home on land they owned in South Hampton, New York," said Kevin Wolfer, chief executive officer of Kennedy Funding. "While this was certainly a unique setup, we drew on our extensive experience working on land loans and on international loans to ensure our borrower secured the funding necessary to fund construction on their new home."
Notably, Wolfer said that the borrower had excellent credit and the property was owned outright, with no outstanding debt against the St Barths tract. Additionally, the property was appraised at more than $2 million higher than the purchase price.
"In any other situation, it would not have even been a question that a borrower with a profile this strong would have been approved by a traditional financing institution," Wolfer said. "However, the complexity of this loan, coupled with the fact that it crossed international borders, made this untouchable for any other lender but Kennedy Funding."
Wolfer said that Kennedy Funding is the only lender who could make the deal happen. As an experienced firm in international lending, Kennedy Funding stands apart in its knowledge and experience in real estate and lending laws in the Caribbean, South America, and many other locales abroad.
"Typically, when people think of land loans, they automatically assume that both traditional and private lenders will pass over the opportunity," Wolfer said. "That's especially true when it comes to international deals. Nobody except Kennedy Funding has the knowledge, skills, local relationships, and track record to close in other countries."
The one-acre lot in St Barths offers panoramic views of picturesque St Jean Bay in Quartier du Roy, along the eastern shoreline of the island's northwest corner. The borrower purchased the acre on the exclusive island in 2014 for $5 million and has demolished the existing house. A permit has been issued for a seven-bedroom, 500-square-meter private residence, which is zoned for residential and open space use.
A short drive from the St Jean's Beach commercial area, the property is close to many significant commercial and relaxation destinations throughout the island. It is also close to the Saint Barthélemy Airport, which accommodates small planes and charter flights.
"St Barths is a well-known luxury destination that attracts tourists from all over the globe," Wolfer said. "Tourism continues to be strong, despite the challenges presented by the past year, and Kennedy Funding has a lengthy track record of closing loans abroad." According to Wolfer, the firm has the experience, support staff, and knowledge necessary to navigate and successfully close loans in countries with vastly different regulatory, financial, and real estate landscapes. Most recently, Kennedy closed a $3.456 million land loan in Texas, a $2.3 million loan to construct a mixed-use property in the Dominican Republic, and a $2.64 million loan in Brazil for an agricultural project.
"Borrowers from all over the world come to Kennedy Funding because they know we have the strongest track record for land loans out there," said Wolfer. "Simply put, nobody else can close a land loan, and especially an international land loan, like we can."

Kristin Cavallari Has Been Quarantining On An "Empty Island" In The Bahamas For Three Weeks
What a terrible fate.
by Andy Golder
This is Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler. You might know them from Laguna Beach and/or The Hills, the NFL, and their brands.
Timothy Hiatt / Getty Images
About three weeks ago — on March 15 to be exact — Kristin posted a photo on Instagram of herself and her hairstylist, Justin Anderson, hanging out in the Bahamas. It should be noted that this was two days after a national emergency was declared in the US, and that Kristin lives in Nashville, not the Bahamas.

Anderson posted the same photo that day with the caption, "You go to work — people judge. You social distance — people judge. Just wash your hands, keep your space, and use this time to be positive and take care of your loved ones."
Instagram: @justinanderson
Two days later, on March 17, Anderson posted another photo, this time with his fiancé Austin Rhodes, Kristin, and Jay. In the caption, he revealed that their group is "stuck on an empty island and forced to quarantine." He said he was "afraid of what we will go home to when they let us back into the States," indicating that they were being barred from returning home.
However, TV writer and researcher Claire Downs, who has a whole thread about this on Twitter, noted that the Bahamas had not restricted travel. The US, despite a travel ban for non-US citizens from Europe, would have allowed them back as well. Probably.
claire @clairecdowns
Now it's around 3/20. Kristin posts a pic with her kids who are apparently there too. The Bahamas have mandated a curfew and closed all essential businesses. You can still leave tho. I wonder if they have staff or if it's a resort? Unclear.
03:41 PM - 06 Apr 2020
And it would appear that they're all still there, on whatever island they're on in the Bahamas, waiting out the pandemic. Just yesterday, Kristin posted a video of her and Justin working out on a pier.
There also seems to be a tennis court on their empty island.
Justin updated five days ago that they've been in "three weeks of isolation" and that they've hit their groove, alternating kid-watching duties so the adults can do workouts.
There's still time for butt pics!
Jay, meanwhile, has just been posting pics of himself at the beach with guesstimates about which day it was. Here's one he thinks was around "day 19 or so."
Instagram: @ifjayhadinstagram
He also appears to have befriended a volleyball named Molten.
Anyway, you can see a full timeline of the Cavallari/Cutler/Anderson/Rhodes quarantine in this thread from Claire Downs.
Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler have been stuck in the Bahamas with her hairstylist for 22 days THREAD

The charged ions attract in all directions resulting in a giant ionic lattice which can contain many ions. An example would be a lattice of Na+ and Cl- in which each sodium ion is surrounded by 6 chlorine ions. Similarly chlorine ions are surround by 6 sodium ions.
Most ionic compounds are solids at room temperature, at a low temperature there is not enough energy to overcome the attraction. Therefore high temperatures are needed to break the strong electrostatic forces of attraction. The melting point is higher for lattices with greater ionic charges.
Most ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents. This is because the water molecules surround the lattice. Some lattices with larger charges will not be soluble.
In solid state the ionic compound does not conduct electricity. In a solid the ions are in a fixed position and there are no charge carriers. In a liquid or aqueous state ions are free to move and carry charge.
Covalent bonding is the strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms.
Covalent bond is the overlap of atomic orbitals, each containing one electron to give a shared pair of electrons.
A covalent bond is localised (acts solely between the electrons and the two bonded atoms). The result is a unit called a molecule.
In the case of some reactive halogens they can split pairs of electrons and bond with them. An example of this would be phosphorus, sulfur and chlorine. In sulfur there are six electrons in the outer shell. Therefore when it reacts with fluorine it can form SF2, SF4, and SF6. It can form alternate numbers of fluorine as when it splits the electron pair it needs to form two bonds with fluorine.
In a double bond the electrostatic attraction is between two shared pairs of electrons and the nuclei of the bonding atoms.
In a dative covalent bond the shared electron pair was originally a lone pair of electrons on one of the bonded atoms.

Q: Instagram API access token refresh? I'm not sure if this is just exclusive to google API's and this is not plausible, but in the OAuth google developers playground, one can give in an access token and receive a refresh token which never expires. I for one have done this and implemented it in my code, but I was wondering, is there such a thing for an Instagram access token?
With the recent changes taking place in there api (2016 ->), I have not found any questions asking this as before I believe the token did not expire.
Thank you and sorry if I seem to be missing something obvious.

A: From the doc:

Access tokens may expire at any time in the future.

Even though our access tokens do not specify an expiration time, your app should handle the case that either the user revokes access, or Instagram expires the token after some period of time.

So in short, today, tokens do not expire, but they could in the future, so your app must handle the case if one day they expire.

Former Trump advisor accuses White House of blocking Twitter access
The Independent November 23, 2019	WORLD Leave a comment
Bolton not happy
Washington, United States | AFP | Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton said the White House denied him access to his Twitter account after his dismissal in early September, in a series of tweets that signal his return to the social media site.
"Since resigning as National Security Advisor, the White House has refused to return access to my personal Twitter account. Out of fear of what I may say?" Bolton wrote on Friday.
Prior to Friday's series of tweets, nothing had been published by Bolton since September 10, the day the US president announced his dismissal.
"To those who speculated I went into hiding, I'm sorry to disappoint!" he added.
The White House swept aside the charges, with spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham suggesting Bolton simply didn't know how to use the platform.
"Sometimes, I'll use my father as an example," she told a Fox Business Network discussion program.
"Somebody who is of an advanced age may not understand all you have to do is contact Twitter and reset your password if you've forgotten it."
Since being dismissed, 71-year-old John Bolton has disagreed with the US president's strategy on North Korea.
Early on Friday, the former diplomat announced his return to Twitter with an enigmatic message: "Glad to be back on Twitter after more than two months. For the backstory, stay tuned…".
His final tweet in the series read: "Thank you to Twitter for standing by their community standards and rightfully returning control of my account."

What should be the motive behind doing True Worship? With what aim should one take naam and do True Worship? What is the main benefit of doing True Worship and what are the by products of doing it?
Satguru Rampal Ji Maharaj gives a very good clarification of the above questions in the 3 videos given below. Watch these in entirety to understand the full concept of doing true worship and gaining its benefits.
In short, Worship should be done with the aim of attaining salvation (Liberation / Moksh). Worldly benefits, prosperity and good health are by-products of true worship. However one needs to have firm faith in true worship of God Kabir given by Satguru Rampal Ji Maharaj. They need to abide by the rules of Bhakti and keep patience and then one definitely reaps the benefits of Naam.


Since I remember there have been free access electronic circuits, I remember electronic magazines including several projects each issue. But lately this trend has gone further.
Internet has given normal people the capacity to put things so that others can check them, so when applied to electronics we find a clear improvement: we are not limited to the things we can put in a magazine, neither are we limited in the level of knowledge needed to use the electronics, as usually are the magazines that are intended for a certain audience.
So new ways of distribution of knowledge are opened as a lot of circuits more or less completed, more or less complicated, are published with freedom in mind, with the freedom to use them for whatever we want (indeed, several of this projects allow even commercial applications).
Thus it's born the category known as Open Hardware projects. It's a step beyond of the Open Software concept. Here communities are born around the use, modification, improvement and redesign of advanced circuitry. There are several sorts of circuits, ranging from general purpose to ultra specialized, from a big majority of exposed circuits to a full fledged modern cellphone.
I'm a programmer, so I admit I only made baby steps into electronics, that's why I can't do anything but admire this marvelous things we are freely offered. We are given the freedom of buying them, of buying components and building them. We also have the freedom of developing from them and, if we want, we can release our modifications to the community, thus making bigger the list of Open Hardware devices and their capabilities.
A little advice: the page where I dicovered this is ordered by alphabetical order, so you'll see a lot of Arduino devices first. Don't worry, there are a lot more things below.


Insurance: it's a grudge purchase, because you don't actually get anything unless something unpleasant happens, and you're not sure that it will. Nonetheless, you need to keep yourself protected in case of misadventure, so you go ahead and take out a policy. How can you get the right insurance cover and still pay less? There's a lot of information about this topic online, and this article attempts to bring all that info together to help you save.
The more your car is worth, the more your insurance will cost. Think twice before buying the latest luxury car, because it's not just the price tag on the car itself that's a lot higher. Settling for something cheap and practical when choosing your wheels will save you a lot of money in the long run.
Built—in safety features can also reduce your insurance costs. This makes sense. For example, safety features like traction control that prevent drivers from losing control of their vehicles will reduce the chances of an eventual accident happening.
Another matter worth looking into is theft deterrent systems. Insurers will be able to tell you whether installing certain systems qualifies you for reduced premiums.
If you're leasing your car, you are probably paying way too much for insurance. It will cost a lot less to insure your own car than it does to insure a leased vehicle.
Just as you shop around for a car, you also need to shop around when buying insurance. Find out what the average rate is for your area, and use this as a baseline to gauge quotes.
How much are you willing to risk when it comes to car-related expenses that are ordinarily covered by insurance? Full coverage is the most costly, but it might be the best option for you if you are getting a brand new car because it protects you from the costs of all kinds of damage.
If you have an older model car and aren't too worried about having to pay for some types of damage yourself, you might just settle for collision and liability insurance, or you can take a chance and only have liability insurance. However, be aware that you now carry an additional risk that could work out expensive.
If you have several vehicles to insure or several insurance policies, you might be able to qualify for a discount if one company handles all of them.
Naturally, this is only a benefit if the discounted rate compares well with what you'll pay elsewhere, but since insurance companies want your business to remain with them, it's up to them to come up with an attractive offer. Make sure they know that you are considering taking out more than one policy so that they make you their best offer.
If you don't need to drive your car long-distance or can cut mileage by using public transport to commute, you may qualify for a low-mileage discount. It's unlikely that this will just be offered to you, so you should ask whether your premiums will be lower if you drive less.
The higher the value you are willing to pay out of pocket if you have an insurance claim, the lower your premiums will be. But beware, you don't want to end up when you can't afford the amount you would need to cover. It's good to have a healthy emergency fund if you want to consider this particular option, and you should probably try to save more every month to boost that fund.
If you pay your insurance premiums every month, they will very likely be higher than if you negotiate to pay several months in advance. If you can afford to pay a lump sum every six months, you could save a substantial amount of money on insurance.
Interestingly, people who are careful with their finances are also more careful drivers who are less likely to be in accidents. This is taken into account when calculating your premiums. There are often errors in credit rating agencies' reports, so it's worth taking a look to see if your credit score can be improved by eliminating any mistakes.
If you're willing to do an accident prevention driving course, you can sometimes reduce insurance costs. This varies from company to company, so ask whether insurers will take this into account and compare costs and benefits.
There are all kinds of discounts that you might qualify for, but if you don't ask, you won't know. There are discounts for people in the armed forces, good student discounts, discounts for people in certain occupations, discounts if you switch from one provider to another and more.
Some groups of people pay less for insurance than others do. Although you can't become an experienced driver or a woman if you aren't already one, certain habits can build your reputation as a safe driver, reducing your premiums.
Don't file claims unless you absolutely have to. Your claims history is taken into account.
Obey the law. If you don't have a record for moving violations, your premiums are lower.
Pay your bills on time. Remember, your credit score counts!
The policy that started out being just right for you may no longer be your best option. If the value of the car has fallen to a low level, for example, you won't get much out of your insurance when you claim, so why pay top dollar for those premiums?
You may also have moved house. If you previously lived in a high crime area and had moved to a quieter one, you qualify for lower premiums. It's even better if you reside in a rural area and don't need to drive to town often!
Last, but not least, you may have changed your marital status. Getting married qualifies you for better rates. It's not an excellent reason to get married, but if you do get married, why not claim the benefits?
