(February 14, 2004-September 18, 2006)
1st Logo (1960-1964)
Logo: Essentially a still version of the 1960 logo with "PRESENTS" replaced with "PRODUCTION".
Variant: Sometimes, "NETWORK" is added to "PRODUCTION".
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the programme.
Availability: Extinct.
Many programmes from this period have been lost or not preserved on home media.
It was seen on The Full Man War Poetry and Space Three.
2nd Logo (1964-January 1, 1982)
Logo: It's a still version of the 1964 logo but with "COLOUR PRODUCTION" and a copyright notice added underneath.
Later versions of the logo has the copyright notice smaller.
On some programmes, the copyright notice was removed.
On one programme, "PRESENTATION" replaces "PRODUCTION".
On Together, the text underneath "SOUTHERN" reads "A LIVE COLOUR PRODUCTION".
A B&W variant exists with the text reading "PRESENTATION" instead of "COLOUR PRESENTATION" and no copyright info below. This variant preceded pre-1960s B&W Warner Bros, MGM, Universal, Paramount, United Artists, pre-1958 Selznick movies and non-Southern TV programs.
A variant has "COLOUR OUTSIDE BROADCAST" appear underneath the company name.
The same variant can also be superimposed.
On Sean SE, after a few seconds, the logo becomes more scratched throughout the logo.
On Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years, the text has been reworded to say
SOUTHERN PICTURES
SOUTHERN TELEVISION
On Runaround Christmas on Ice, the logo has snowed and mistletoes are seen on the bottom corners of the screen.
At Southern's final programme, And It's Goodbye From Us, at 00:45 (or 12:45am) on January 1, 1982, 45 minutes after their franchise contract expired, after the end of the show, the logo fades in. After a while, the blue background fades to one resembling a starry night sky, with the company name and the copyright notice disappearing at the same time to leave just the star. After a few seconds, the star starts spinning clockwise, faster and faster, before slowly zooming-out into the night sky background. The star is now very small, and the spinning continues. Finally, the guitar tune from the 1964 ID, with an echoey feel to it at the last note plays, causing the spinning star to fade out to leave just the sky. The variant then shows us the sky for about 9 seconds, and the screen slowly fades to black.
Music/Sounds Variant: On Sean SE, the normal 1964 theme plays and then we hear bells ringings when the logo becomes scratched. A male voice then says "Ha, that's better".
Availability: Extremely rare, due to many programmes becoming lost or hardly preserved.
The presentation version was at the end a 1974 movie film That's Entertainment, after the 1957 Metro Goldwyn Mayer logo.
It was surprisingly seen a colour-presentation variant at the end a 1942-film Yankees Doodle Dandy in mid-1980.
The filmed variant is retained on current prints of Worzel Gummidge.
It has also turned up on a Talking Pictures TV Encore print of Runaround: Christmas on Ice.
It also appears at the end of the 1987 UK VHS release of Beethoven's Fidelio from Screen Legends as well.
1st Logo (January 1, 1982-September 4, 1987)
Logo: On a black background, the flower from the 1982 TVS logo is placed in the middle of the screen. "TVS Production" is placed below in the corporate font.
Sometimes, other phrases like "TVS Outside Broadcast", "TVS Production with the south in view" and "TVS Presentation" are used.
In the logo's early years, the logo is closer to the screen, and a copyright date is added underneath, reading "©(year) Television South plc" or "©TVS (year)".
For programmes produced for Channel 4, either the words "A TVS Production for Channel 4" or "A TVS Production for Channel Four" appear below the logo with the copyright notice reading "©(year) Television South plc" also appearing below as well.
On Ultra Quiz, the flower is in a chrome effect.
On Bobby Davro's TV Annual, the logo is seen within a TV set against a room full of Christmas decorations. A man wearing a party hat is seen within a black and white picture. After the credits fly off screen, he stares at the viewer and smiles before blowing a party horn and giving a toast to us. The man then drinks from a wine glass.
On The Real World 3D TV, the flower is in a 3D-effect against a perspective effect grid background. It zooms out and looses its effect before the shot crossfades to the normal logo.
An extremely rare co-production variant exists where the logo is paired with six other ITV franchise logos on a blue background. TVS's logo appears on the bottom left.
Still saved on several shows, such as Ruth Rendell Mysteries and the first two series of Catchphrase, among many others.
One of the earliest programmes to use this logo was Bring in the New.
2nd Logo (September 5, 1987-September 1, 1989)
Logo: On a silver background, the 1987 TVS logo is beveled and in a dimly lit steel blue color. Underneath is the word "P R O D U C T I O N".
On The Pyramid Game, a copyright stamp in a dark color is added underneath the logo.
Programmes produced for Channel 4 has the logo smaller and the bottom text bigger, now reading "A TVS PRODUCTION FOR CHANNEL FOUR".
The same variation from the Bobby Davro's TV Annual is used here but with this logo instead.
The production variant features a larger 1987 TVS logo and the words "A TVS PRODUCTION FOR ITV" with the 1989 ITV logo below.
Availability: Rare.
This logo can be seen on series 3 and 4 of Catchphrase, series 4 of The Pyramid Game, and Tugs, among many others.
3rd Logo (September 1, 1989-October 30, 1993)
Logo: On a blue background with a spotlight on the top left corner, the TVS logo from before is in a bluish glass texture. "P R O D U C T I O N" can be seen underneath in a slightly different font than before.
"PRODUCTION" may be reworded to "PRESENTATION"
The 1989 ITV logo is also seen underneath with the bottom text reading "TVS PRODUCTION FOR" on networked programmes.
Another variant has "PRODUCTION" reworded to "PROGRAMME".
On All Clued Up, a copyright notice is added underneath the 1989 ITV logo.
A filmed version also exists which was seen on episodes of Mr Majeika.
In the first series of Motormouth, the page slides in to reveal the TVS endcap.
In the 1988-1992 episodes of Catchphrase, while it is similar to the Motormouth's version from 1988, but instead, the page flipped to the right and slides down (formerly up) to reveal the TVS endcap.
On The Prayer For Us All, the logo is in a box with white outlining outside of it and appears next to the 1988 Anglia Television logo and on the latter's background with the text below changing to "Anglia/TVS Production for ITV" with the 1989 ITV logo below.
On Purple Triangles, the print logo has a thick gray outline and is seen within the Starlock Pictures logo.
On Finder's Keepers, the World Wide International Television logo appears above the TVS logo. Underneath, the copyright notice was expanded to read "© (year) TVS Television Ltd based on underlying materials ©1991 MTV Networks all rights reserved".
On Streetwise, the logo appears within the 1989 Childsplay Productions logo.
It can be seen on seasons 2 to 6 of Ruth Rendell Mysteries (However, when ITV3 re-aired these seasons many years ago, this logo was plastered over with the 2003 Buena Vista International Television logo) as well as all episodes from series 5-8 of Catchphrase and Motormouth, among many others.
It made its last appearance on the series 9 premiere of Catchphrase, which despite the switch-over to Meridian, surprisingly kept this logo at the end.
1st Logo (January 1, 1993-1995)
Logo: The 1991 Meridian logo is placed on a black background with the text "A MERIDIAN PROGRAMME" underneath.
Sometimes, the text reads the following instead:
"A MERIDIAN PRESENTATION"
"A MERIDIAN PROGRAMME FOR ITV"
"A MERIDIAN PRESENTATION FOR ITV". This and the above variant uses the 1989 ITV logo.
Can be seen on series 1-3 of Wizadora, 1993 episodes of the UK version of Jeopardy! and Catchphrase, along with early episodes of Zzzap and later episodes of Houseparty, among many others.
2nd Logo (1995-1997)
Logo: On a flame-like background consisting of black, blue, and orange colors, the Meridian logo from before with the company name in white is seen above "A MERIDIAN PROGRAMME".
Like before, the text below the logo may read "A MERIDIAN PROGRAMME FOR ITV" or "A MERIDIAN PRESENTATION FOR ITV" with the 1989 ITV logo used.
On Who I Am?, the 1995 VCI logo appears alongside the Meridian logo. "IN ASSOCIATION WITH VCI" is added underneath "A MERIDIAN PROGRAMME".
Availability: Can be seen on later series of Wizadora as well as Delta Wave, Ruth Rendell Mysteries and In the Wild, among many others.
3rd Logo (September 1996-October 4, 1998)
Logo: The moving striped background from the 1996 ID now consists of orange, purple, and fuschia colors. Additionally, the sun/moon logo is in the same position as before and "A MERIDIAN PROGRAMME" is placed underneath.
On 1997 CITV airings of various programmes such as Goggle Watch, the logo is shrunken and shown alongside other logos against a dimly lit gray background. "An" and "Programme for" appear above and below the logos whereas the 1989 ITV logo is underneath them all.
Seen on such programmes, like In the Dark, Sooty's Amazing Adventures and Monkey Business, among many others.
4th Logo (October 5, 1998-2001)
Logo: On a windy gold-orange background, the Meridian logo is in a different color palette with the moon in a brown-like color and the company name in black.
Variant: On multiple programmes, the logo is seen within the United Productions logo, either underneath or side-by-side with said company's.
Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the programme.
Availability: The on-screen logo is extremely rare since at this time, nearly all of Meridian's original programmes used the United Productions variant instead.
It was so far only seen on series 2-4 of Monkey Business.
Speaking of United Productions, this variant can be seen on the last several series of ZZZAP! and early movies of Hornblower.
5th Logo (April 21, 2002-August 29, 2004)
LWT/Meridian co-production variant
Logo: We see the same Granada purple end card with the corporate logo used by all other Granada-owned regions, however, the shadow copies are of the Meridian symbol, and the square has the white Meridian logo inside with the text reads "A Meridian Production".
On Hornblower, the square is next to the A&E logo and the text underneath now reads "A Meridian Production in association with A&E Network".
On Doodlebug Summer, the LWT and Meridian squares appear alongside each other and the text now reads either "A Meridian/LWT Co-Production" or "A LWT/Meridian Co-Production" and appears in either this background with the Meridian logos or the background with the 1996 LWT logos.
A split screen version of this logo exists.
The logo also sometimes appears in 4:3 aspect ratio.
This background may stretched or zoomed on some shows and movies.
Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme to the show.
Appears on seasons 1 and 2 of The Last Detective, William & Mary and the latter Hornblower movies.
However, it can be plastered with Granada or ITV Studios logos on more modern releases.
Despite this, it is intact on streaming prints of series 6-8 of Where the Heart Is and series 5 and 6 of Monkey Business.
It is also intact on UKTV Drama airings of Season 6-8 Where the Heart Is.
Logo: On a smoky dark blue background with blue outlined squares scattered around, the 2004 ITV Meridian logo with a shadow effect is above the text "An ITV Production".
Variant: On Love and War, the Peter Williams Television logo is paired with ITV Meridian's against the latter's background. Underneath, the text has been reworded to say "A Peter Williams Television production in association with ITV".
Availability: Extremely rare.
This came at a time when the company's operations were being downgraded due to the reduction of the number of regional programmes.
As a result, there are very few programmes known to use this logo, which includes series 7-9 of Monkey Business and Love and War.
The former still has this logo intact on streaming prints.

In Memoriam: Commando comic artist Gordon Livingstone
By Colin Noble on June 26, 2017 • ( 0 )
Gordon Livingstone in his garden, with the art that featured in Commando Issue 2786 "Protect or Die", published in August 1994.
It is difficult to say how much artist Gordon Livingstone, who died recently aged 82, has influenced my appreciation of art.
I first became aware of his work way back in December 1973, probably with the DC Thomson war comic Commando Issue 796, "Black Beret". Since then, my love of art has grown and that love was fed on a monthly basis by the amazing output of Gordon as he illustrated Commando and many of the DC Thomson's women's magazines.
Born 17th August 1934, Gordon hailed from the tenements of Dundee. By the time he was six, he was already a veteran at listening out for the wail of the air raid siren that warned of another bombing raid on his native city. He heard his first while in the King's Cross Hospital, when he was recovering from diphtheria, saying later that it gave him the fright of his life. Having heard the eerie wail myself as an adult, I can fully sympathise with the junior Gordon.
(His brushes with childhood diseases – far more prevalent then than now – did not deter Gordon from being an active sportsman. He played tennis, football, badminton, cycling and later there was the enjoyment of the links and the occasional foray to the 19th hole).
Gordon left school early at a youthful 14 and a half and ended up working for a law firm as an office boy in Bank Street, Dundee. A young office boy should of course always keep himself busy and Gordon did… by drawing!
Luckily, Gordon's boss, a lawyer whose name is lost to the mists of time was a good friend of Norman Lee, Chief Artist for John Leng & Co. Clearly recognising Gordon's talent, his boss showed some of the budding teenage artist's art to Norman and as a result, Gordon was given an offer of work. On the day he turned sixteen, he could begin to work for Norman Lee as a junior artist.
He was also hired by DC Thomson, and remained a loyal contributor to the firm for nearly 50 years, working on children's and women's magazines such as Secrets, My Weekly and The People's Friend.
I've been able to see some of Gordon's women's magazines work thanks to his daughter, including art for the weekly title, Secrets. The illustrations confirm how versatile he was, his art is as drop dead gorgeous as the ladies that he drew.
The cover of Secrets 2733, cover dated 23rd April 1988
Gordon spent much of his time honing his already growing talent to a level where he would become one of the regular staff artists, a career only briefly interrupted in the 1950s when he was called up for his two years' national service in the Army, mostly spent in post-war Germany in the Royal Army Service Corps. He also managed to spend a lot of time playing hockey. (There's that sporting link again).
(As he was serving when George VI passed away, he was one of a small number of service personnel who would go from dealing with the King's to the Queen's Regulations. When you consider that this change has only happened three times since the introduction of the Regulations in 1731, that's a nice historical footnote to be involved in).
Six of The Best Commando comics by Gordon Livingstone
After demob, Gordon returned to his career as a staff artist at John Leng & Co, and was building a career as a respected artist on many of the women's magazines, working in titles such as Golden Heart Love Stories, Love and Life Library and Silver Moon, when he was asked by the son of his godmother Charles "Chick" Checkley to do some samples for his new project at DC Thomson, a picture library digest called Commando. As Gordon looked up to Chick as a father figure, it was no surprise that he was happy to do these, his first work appearing in Issue Four, with "Mercy for None", written by Eric Castle. This was the start of a beautiful run of art from 1961 to Gordon's retirement in 1999.
Commando 5012 – Launch the Wildcats!. Cover by Gordon Livingstone
Through his long comics career, Gordon provided the internal art for over 360 issues of Commando – coming to the rescue of editor Ian Forbes on no less than four occasions when the original artist was not able to complete an assignment. Gordon also did the cover art for 67 issues of the long-running war comic.
As Steve Holland noted last week over on Bear Alley, roughly two-thirds of his issues have been reprinted, which means he was responsible for an eighth of Commando's total run of just over 5,000 issues.
Along with Terry Patrick, Gordon was also one of the artists for the educational centre spread feature "The Falklands File" (1982-1983), which covered the 1982 Falklands conflict between Britain and Argentina in DC Thomson's weekly war comic Warlord.
I would have loved the chance to have met Gordon during his career at DC Thomson's or after he had retired. Instead, I have to content myself with knowing that others appreciated him as much as I did.
Although Gordon's passing is sad, here's a tale to end this tribute on, one that will make us all smile. I was only told of it two Saturdays before he passed away.
A fresh-faced young sub, (yes former DC Thomson editor Calum Laird was once fresh faced) was moved to work with George Low, then the current Commando editor. George advised Calum what his duties were and who to expect on certain days as staff artists and local freelancers would drop in their art. When Calum found out that one of the artists that would come in every Thursday was Gordon Livingstone, his interest was heightened.
Art from Commando 199 (reprinted in 839) – The Silver Spitfire by Gordon Livingstone
Art from Commando 202 – "Bombers Moon" by Gordon Livingstone
So, on that first Thursday, Gordon walked into the office and greeted the new sub-editor, but was more than a little bemused when Calum asked Gordon to autograph two of his favourite Commando issues, "The Silver Spitfire" and "Bombers Moon". Indeed, more than bemused – he was downright suspicious, thinking the request was all a bit of a wind-up on George's part, and asked where he was hiding!
Artists Ian Kennedy and Gordon Livingstone, together in 2012
Such was Gordon's modesty, Calum's request left the talented artist floundering. In his mind, it seems, nobody cared about the Commando artists, so ho would want their autographs?
Gordon, like Calum before me, I would love to be able to ask for your autograph and I know that I will miss your lightness of line and depth of colour. But as it is not to be, I hope that those who you have left behind are comforted by the depth of our love for the beauty you put into our lives with your art.
Gordon Livingstone borne 17th August 1934, died 19th June 2017

Legendary Detective Dick Tracy Is Returning to Comics
Filed to:Dick Tracy
Image: Archie Comics. Cover art by Thomas Pitilli.
For decades, Chester Gould's hardboiled, gadget-wielding, ace detective has cracked cases in newspaper strips and comics, and on the big screen and TV. But now he's making a grand return to the page courtesy of Archie Comics.
Written by Archie Comics co-president and crime novelist Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, with art by Thomas Pitilli, the series will cast back to Tracy's early career as a detective, rebooting the character's origins to tell new stories about his formative years.
Further details about the series are currently being kept under wraps, but it's cool to see one of the legendary pulp heroes of early comics make a grand return like this. Spyfi and pulp comics have had a bit of a resurgence lately, between Dynamite's ongoing Bond series, and the rise of pulpy crossovers like Batman meeting up with The Shadow and even Tracy himself teaming up with The Spirit, so it makes sense to bring another of its most famous icons back right now. Dick Tracy's first issue will be released on April 11, 2018.

Q: number_in_month exercise (Error in SML function to build a list of integers from a list of tuples) val test1 = [(1,5,3),(3,5,2),(3,4,5)]

fun number_in_month dates_and_month  =
    case dates_and_month of
        (x,y,z)::xs' => y :: number_in_month xs'

This code produces the following error when I run in the REPL with test1:
uncaught exception Match [nonexhaustive match failure]
  raised at: hw1pm.sml:28.49
Any clue why?

A: It did not know what do when the list was empty.
Working code:
fun number_in_month dates_and_month  =
    case dates_and_month of
        [] => []
        | (x,y,z)::xs' => y :: number_in_month xs'

A: Edit: I've tried to make this answer more helpful while preserving the observation that this is probably the most asked SML question on StackOverflow. A total list of the times this question was asked: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th (not counting this post).
Rather than to answer this question again, a curated version of those are here:

*

*1st, 2nd, 6th, 12th struggle with recursion and infinite recursion. Some attempts include the use of the function null, and others include pattern matching. I'd go with the recommendation to use pattern matching.

*3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 13th, 14th provide a lot of insight into the general structure of this function. You'll probably learn a bunch more than you asked for by just reading those answers, and since they cover a lot of elementary subjects in the context of a function you're actively working with, this may be very worthwhile.

*10th deals with using a mutable reference, so stay away from that one unless you're about to make that same mistake!

*11th doesn't actually ask anything, but the author says they have this exercise and then kind of stops dead in their tracks. There's a lesson here and I'm not going to be the one to figure it out.

*8th, 9th, 15th and 16th appear to address syntax errors.

Questions asked on this matter subsequent to this answer: 17th (missing else).

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) or Apple Inc. (AAPL): The King of Revenue
Published on May 28, 2013 at 2:31 pm by The Motley Fool in News
Besides being massive, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) may not seem to have a whole lot in common. As an e-commerce company, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) should have the upper hand with how much revenue it can generate per customer. With minimal overhead costs, will they be able to keep up with Apple's numbers?
Apple's figures
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s numbers this quarter were pretty impressive. While its sales of Macs and iPods were down, iPhones and iPads sky rocketed from the same period a year ago. These devices netted a total increase of 7.9 million units, highlighted by iPad sales that increased by 7.7 million, or 65%.
These 66.4 million devices sold by Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in Q1 generated $43.6 billion dollars. While it would be impossible to tell how many of those users downloaded apps or used iTunes, we do know that less than 6% of Apple's revenue was generated through them. We also don't know how many people bought both an iPad and an iPhone, or any other combination of iDevices.
Amazon's figures
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) reportedly has 209 million active users. Amazon generated approximately $16 billion of revenue in the quarter, only about 37% of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s revenue. These figures show that Amazon made about $76.56 per user. Based on the above figures, Apple generates $656.63 per customer. CNET has released figures showing that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) generates $57.60 per store visitor.
If these figures are true, Apple is generating 1 customer to every 8.57 visitors. While there is no accurate way to measure how many people have visited Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)'s website, we can be assured that more people visit it than the 209 million active users. For the sake of this example, let's assume the ratio is similar. If Amazon generated 1 customer for every 8 visitors to its website, it would have 1.6 billion users. Not only is this ridiculous, but to keep pace with Apple's revenues, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) would have to generate $96.31 billion every quarter.
Amazon is an e-commerce company, so it should fare better when revenues are compared to employees. After all, it doesn't have all the brick and mortar stores that Apple does. Surprisingly, this isn't the case. Amazon generates $180,995 for each of its 88,400 employees. Apple manages to generate $598,901 for each of its 77,800 employees.
This can only mean one thing: Apple knows how to generate revenue.
If Amazon was able to accomplish this same ratio, they would be generating approximately $53 billion of revenue each quarter. Now, don't get me wrong: Amazon is growing very quickly, with revenues increasing 28% year-over-year. It's active user base has also grown 21%. Amazon simply hasn't found a way to maximize its revenues as well as Apple has.
There is a big difference in how these companies make money. Apple derives 77.5% of its revenues from mobile devices (iPhones, iPads, and iPods). This means that Apple has generated approximately $131 billion from mobile devices in the past twelve trailing months. Just think, that is almost as much revenue as Apple has in available cash! That's a crazy thought.Apple might understand the importance of the mobile platform better than any other company out there.
Amazon acquires about 55% of its revenues from electronics and general merchandise. Kindle hardware generates just under 9% of its total revenues, but that figure will likely jump as the company recently announced expanding sales to 170 additional countries. Amazon has received help from numerous companies in doing this, but only one can claim to own the best selling device on Amazon. For several months, Samsung's Chromebook has been the top seller on the retail giant's website. But that's not the only place Samsung generates its income.

Many people don't realise this, but a Nail technician is a true artist!
If they knew how much work, attention to detail, creativity and perfectionism goes behind their work, they'd think the same! This is the reason why we felt it was about time we talked about nails and the treatments we offer, with a special post.
You have realised your nails are weak, they break frequently and you can't seem to find a way to grow them? Or else, you like to do your own nails and love a touch of colour, but the shop-bought nail polishes don't seem to last long enough and you don't always have time to re-do your nails every other day?
This is why COVER is here for you girls!
If it is your first time trying nail extensions or you have had them done before but you are starting from scratch again after some time, then a Full Set of Extensions is what would work best for you. A Full Set treatment starts with the usual prepping of your natural nails – trimming and flinging your nails and treating the cuticles. Then, an artificial tip and a layer of acrylic is applied on top to create the base of your new nail. Once this is set properly, the technician proceeds to add the desired colour (either Gel or Polish) and any design or decoration you would like.
Sculptured Nails, are another type of nail extensions that follows a different technique, and are not often offered in other salons because it's an art on its own that requires years to perfect.
As the name suggests, the extension is "sculpted" – built – on top of your natural nail without an artificial tip. The tip in this case is created ex-novo by modelling the acrylic liquid to perfectly fit the shape of your finger and natural nail.
Once the acrylic layer is set as in the case above, the technician can proceed with the application of colour and any design or decoration.
The difference between a Full Set and Sculptured Nails is one of durability. Sculptured nails, because they are built straight on your nail, they don't have the weak spot between the tip and the nail as it happens in the Full Set.
If you are not after nail extensions and are happy with the length of your natural nails, you can opt for Nails Overlay. For this treatment, the strengthening mixture is applied directly on your natural nail, and the rest of the decorations afterwards on top of it. So, the overlay will be the same length of your nail but it will make them stronger and they will last longer.
How often will you have to retouch your nails if you have extensions?
The longevity of your nails will depend on many factors linked to how much you use your hands. Usually the upkeep should be done every 3-4 weeks. If you have either a Full Set or Sculpted nails on, it's not necessary to remove them and start a new set every time, you could opt for Infills instead. Infills are the "maintenance" procedure, a quick way to tidy up, touch-up your manicure with a quick filling of the re-growth gap that will appear at the bottom of your nails, near the cuticles, as they grow underneath.
Squoval, coffin, stiletto? If these words don't ring any bell, you better read this post we wrote about the different and most popular shapes of nails of the moment!

Obama Signs Order On GI Bill Diploma Mills
FORT STEWART, Ga. – President Obama reached out to a generation of young soldiers Friday as he added new protections for veterans and military families misled or bilked by career colleges and technical programs that target their federal education benefits. "They don't care about you," he declared, "they care about your cash."
Obama signed a broad order that partially addresses growing complaints about fraudulent marketing and recruiting practices aimed at military families eligible for federal education aid under the GI Bill.
Sounding outraged, Obama said some of these schools go after military men and women "just for the money." And citing what he called "one of the worst examples," Obama said a college recruiter enrolled Marines with brain injuries who couldn't even remember what courses they had signed up for.
"That's appalling, that's disgraceful," Obama said. "They're trying to swindle and hoodwink you."
In remarks that echoed some of his election-year rhetoric, Obama said he made troops and veterans a promise that America would fight for them just as they fought for their country. He addressed what he called the "9/11 generation," both in the military and out, as he listed accomplishments of his first term.
First, the president and Michelle Obama paid tribute to fallen soldiers, walking slowly hand in hand along the Fort Stewart Warriors Walk, a wide path lined with 441 memorial trees. At the base of each tree sits a granite marker with a soldier's name.
Though there is little the federal government can do to shut down diploma mills, the new protections would make it harder for postsecondary and technical schools to misrepresent themselves to military students.
The main target of the White House action is for-profit colleges and universities that market heavily to military families because of the easy availability of federal money under the GI Bill.
Some postsecondary schools try to attract current and former military service members using deceptive military-themed websites that appear to be government-run or connected to the GI Bill benefit system, administration officials said.
Commercial sites like GIbill.com, for instance, give the appearance of being information sites about the benefit but in fact direct users to a narrow list of mostly for-profit institutions.
Colleges – not all of them for-profits – advertise on such sites and pay outside companies for recruiting leads, hoping for a piece of the estimated $9 billion the new G.I. Bill is expected to pay out this year to educate nearly 600,000 veterans.
Quality at for-profit colleges varies widely, and many are a good fit for students, particularly adult learners looking for flexible scheduling and career training that often requires a certificate but not a degree.

Cambridge Business Improvement District (BID) has appointed three new directors to further diversify its existing high-calibre board.
Nick Finlayson-Brown, a Partner at law firm Mills & Reeve, is joined by Simon Wallis, Development Director at Brookgate, and David Ormrod, General Manager and Licensee of The Regal pub in Cambridge.
Both Mills & Reeve and Brookgate are located within the Station Square/Hills Road/CB1 area, which became part of the BID area, when it was extended last April (2018).
Specialising in real estate work, Nick Finlayson-Brown has over 25 years' experience acting for key clients in the public, private and charity sectors and, as such, is especially well placed to understand the needs of the local business community. In addition to his position as Head of Office for Mills & Reeve Cambridge, he also heads up the firm's China Desk, helping to grow links with Chinese investors interested in investing in Cambridge businesses as well as UK clients looking to enter the Chinese market.
Simon Wallis has been with Brookgate for four years, managing a string of complex commercial and mixed-use development projects including the award-winning One Station Square office development and the Grimshaw-designed 50/60 Station Road. Past projects he has been involved with include the redevelopment of the Bullring shopping centre in Birmingham.
David Ormrod has been a pub manager for JD Wetherspoons for 14 years and the licensee of The Regal on St Andrew's Street for just over two years. He brings a wealth of expertise in both the hospitality trade and night-time economy having previously worked for Greene King, Punch Taverns and Enterprise Inns as well as independently owned and run public houses. He is also on the board of Cambridge Business Against Crime (CAMBAC) as well as being involved in the Cambridge BID Purple Flag project group.
Ian Sandison, CEO of Cambridge BID, said: "I am delighted to welcome these three very talented individuals to our high-calibre board. They each bring fresh perspectives and insights through their business representation.
"Last April, we extended the BID area to include the Station area and Hills Road, and it has been important to support this with appointments from the new area to help develop projects that are professional sector-focused. Our night time economy is, similarly, an important sector for Cambridge – and David Ormrod brings with him a wealth of expertise in this area.


How About A Little Serenity?
What's different about RV'ing or 5th-wheeling in Mexico? Here are some tips and tricks to have a safe and enjoyable trip to Mexico with your trailer or RV.
You can boondock at a Pemex or other brand gas station. Choose a truck stop or 24-hour gas station. Talk to manager. Tell him you will fill up on the morning. Sometimes they have to awaken you early before the next shift comes on. Play it by ear. Be sure to tip manager and anyone who helps you.
Bring extra long extension cords to hook up to outlets in RV parks in Mexico.
Most Mexican RV parks have 110 volt plugs, but every once in awhile, you'll be shocked to find that innocent outlet is putting out 220. Several readers suggested getting a voltmeter. See links below for good ones.
Mike, I check the outlet before I plug in anywhere in Mexico. I use a Digital Voltmeter Ammeter Ohm Multimeter.
The receptacle tester doesn't measure voltage, but it does check for correct polarity and ground. If some amateur electrician has switched hot and neutral wires, you could wind up with your RV chassis energized, a dangerous situation not to mention potentially damaging to appliances and equipment. The voltmeter will tell you whether you have the right voltage. Some folks might not be too confident using the voltmeter, but on the other hand it can be very useful in diagnosing all kinds of electrical glitches in your RV. Both of these items seem like really cheap insurance.- Creigh.
You will find several different products relating to driving your RV in Mexico (maps, road logs, travelogues or roadlogs) with RV parks and specific RV routes on my shopping cart as well as a description of my trip-planning services to help you get the most out of an RV driving trip to Mexico.
If it is just a question of being lost (hey, it happens to the best of us, he said abashedly), hire a taxi driver to lead you to the park. Negotiate the fee first, but when they have a "taximetro" or meter, you'll pay what price shows. But ask for an estimate.
If there is not a park where you are, you can almost always camp at a a gas station, preferably a 24-hour one like a truck stop. Ask to talk to the manager and get his permission, reminding him you will fill your tanks there. Some now change a few pesos, some don't. Whatever the case, it is worth it to get off the highway before nightfall. I have a few recommended boondocking gas stations in my roadlogs.
Driving through Mexico by using the Mexican toll roads is your safest bet, BUT it will cost you. The toll rate you will be charged for driving an RV on a Mexican toll road will vary but some have a "Casa Rodante" class. Mostly, you are charged by the number of wheels on the ground, not by the number of axles as the signs at the Mexican toll booths suggest. In general, your rate is 50% more than for a car. Generally, you will pay the third category down. Don't sweat it - it will cost what it costs and you can either pay the going rate or take the free roads. You might do that once. The toll roads are easier to drive, especially for motorhomes and towed units.
Driving Mexico is an adventure, but not as much as you think. Mexican toll roads are safe, fast and similar to first-class highways anywhere in the world. Driving your RV in Mexico doesn't require any more skills than driving your RV in the United States or Canada, other than using common sense.
Please use the toll roads. Yes, they are expensive, but the damage to your vehicle on regular highways from topes, chuckholes and potential accidents is costlier.
