A beard is often associated with masculinity, leadership, wisdom and power, and the thicker the beard is the more it commands respect. There is a great challenge faced by those growing a thicker beard, because once it reaches a certain point, it results to itchiness, resulting to shaving or trimming the beard early. This results to growing beard looking weak and thin brought about by a combination of improper skin care and poor diet. The internet has many informative articles to help and guide men on how to best care for their growing beard and how to make it thicker and grow faster.
Growing a thicker beard requires your commitment on your part, and you must surpass the stubble phase for your beard to grow and take shape rapidly, because if you start shaping and trimming too early, you may stop the growth process and never attain the thick beard you really wanted. You can do these things to grow your beard faster: exercising, stress reduction techniques, getting a good rest and sleep, improving your diet and taking supplements.
Having a regular exercise is the foundation to grow a thicker hair, because it increases your testosterone levels, thus promoting healthy hair follicles and hair growth, as well as it improves and increase blood flow, providing the nutrients and the oxygen needed to grow your beard stronger and thicker. Stress increases the amount of cortisol in the body having a negative impact in the production of testosterone, constricting the blood vessels and thus it makes more challenging for the oxygen and nutrients to get into your hair follicles. Having an adequate sleep and rest increase your body's testosterone levels to prevent patchy areas.
For beard care and grooming tips you should follow these things: knowing how and when to trim, matching your beard to the face of your shape, washing it regularly, putting beard oil, learning how to train your beard, not forgetting the mustache and fueling up. Pruning is essential to achieve a well-groomed beard, and it is important to invest in a quality trimmer and find the right technique by taking advantage of online beard tutorial lessons or watching shows how to grow a thicker beard. It is also important to condition your beard using beard oil that comes in various scents, making it shinier and softer.

Progress VirginiaProgress UnpackedNews ReleaseHouse of Delegates Conservative Leadership Is No Friend of the Immigrant Community
House of Delegates Conservative Leadership Is No Friend of the Immigrant Community
Posted on March 6, 2018 March 6, 2018 by Jennifer Lawhorne
RICHMOND— Immigrant justice advocates are condemning conservative members of Virginia's House of Delegates after legislation important to hardworking residents of the Commonwealth was killed this week. Bills on in-state tuition and driver's privileges were left to die before the February 13 crossover deadline while a House subcommittee voted to advance anti-sanctuary legislation. The Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights (VACIR) finds it unacceptable that state lawmakers are refusing to take action to help some of the state's most vulnerable residents.
Margie Del Castillo, chair of the state committee for VACIR said, "Our coalition worked tirelessly this legislative session to activate our communities so they could share their stories and perspectives on how these issues directly impact them. Which is why the actions of leadership in the House to bar our legislation from being given even a fair heading is not only disappointing, but unsurprising at this point. We'll continue to organize and show up, as the time is ticking for these outdated and ineffective legislators."
Bills that provided in-state tuition to undocumented students who graduated from Virginia high schools were referred to the House Rules Committee by Speaker Kirk Cox and he refused to put them on the committee's docket, effectively killing the legislation. In a statement defending his decision, Cox said, "Precious in-state tuition slots are already very limited and the Speaker believes that Virginia students should be first in line for those slots."
VACIR would like to remind Speaker Cox that undocumented students ARE Virginia students– many of whom were brought to the country at a young age, making the state their only home. Undocumented students grow up in Virginia neighborhoods, go to community places of worship and attend local schools. A recent report released by The Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis found that expanding in-state tuition rates to undocumented students in Virginia does not create a cost burden to the state or result in overcrowded classrooms. Providing in-state tuition rates opens up a pathway to better jobs and opportunities that benefit students and the state economy.
"Speaker Cox was once an educator and one of his priorities used to be that all Virginians had the same educational opportunities," said Yanet Amado Limon of the Virginia Intercollegiate Immigrant Alliance, one of the member organizations of VACIR. "Today he is ignoring thousands of students that have graduated from Virginia schools. Cox has forgotten his values as an educator."
On Wednesday, the House Courts of Justice Subcommittee approved HB1257, a bill from Delegate Ben Cline that prohibits localities from enacting sanctuary policies. Since Virginia already has laws that forbid sanctuary policies, community members and organizations are speaking out against HB1257 because it is an attack on immigrant and refugee communities. HB1257 is an affront to hardworking Virginians who deserve to live in safe communities without fear of deportation and having their families ripped apart.
"This anti-sanctuary law will only criminalize our communities and our youth. Communication between police officers and immigrant community members will worsen, thereby decreasing the reporting of crimes and adding to a general sense of unsafety and fear in our communities," said Diego Orbegoso of the NLIRH Virginia Latina Advocacy Network.
Legislation that granted driving privileges to undocumented residents was referred to the House Transportation Committee at the beginning of the legislative session and was also not given a proper hearing by the panel. Immigrant justice advocates are exasperated at the obvious bias against immigrants expressed by state lawmakers who are refusing to give the bills a fair hearing based upon their own merits. As the federal government refuses to act on immigration reform, undocumented Virginians are asking state lawmakers to pass legislation that would help them feel less criminalized and give them more opportunities.
VACIR is calling on supporters of the immigrant community to flood the phone lines at the House of Delegates. Call your delegate and ask that Speaker Cox discharge the in-state tuition and driving privileges bills to the House floor.

Scope proceedings are formal processes whereby an interested person can obtain a scope ruling from the CBSA. A scope ruling will specify whether the product in question falls within the product description of the applicable order, finding or undertaking, including whether the goods in question originate in a country named in the order, finding or undertaking.
A scope ruling is a ruling issued under subsection 66(1) of Special Import Measures Act (SIMA) as to whether certain goods are subject to an order or finding of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT), an undertaking in respect of which an investigation has been suspended under paragraph 50(a)(iii) or an order of the Governor in Council imposing a countervailing duty made under section 7 (subsequently referred to as an "anti-dumping or countervailing measure"). A scope ruling indicates whether the goods are subject to the anti-dumping or countervailing measure; it does not result in a modification of the measure.
The following outlines the CBSA's policies and procedures with respect to the conduct of scope proceedings under sections 63 to 69 of SIMA. These policies and procedures do not supplant the provisions of SIMA.
Scope proceedings may be initiated as a result of the receipt of an application from an interested person (e.g., importers, exporters, domestic producers) or self-initiated by the CBSA. Refer to the chart for a visual presentation of the process.
A written application must contain certain information, such as a description of the goods, in order to be considered complete. For information on interested persons, the required information and the submission of an application, please consult How to Apply for a Scope Ruling.
An application for a scope proceeding may request clarification on one or both of two particular subjectivity issues: whether the product in question falls within the product description of an anti-dumping or countervailing measure or whether the goods in question originate in the country named in an anti-dumping or countervailing measure.
After receipt of the application, the CBSA has 30 days (or 45 days, if extended) to review it and determine if the application should be rejected. If the application is rejected, the CBSA will notify the applicant and provide the reasons for its decision.
in the opinion of the President, the application is frivolous, vexatious or made in bad faith.
If the application is not rejected, a scope proceeding will be initiated. The CBSA may send requests for information (RFIs) to obtain the necessary information for its proceeding. The information requested in the RFI will be limited to the specific question of scope and will be customized to the particulars of each case. A set of general instructions will accompany the request for information to assist the parties in preparing the required information. The instructions include explanations of the information to be provided for specific situations as well as the rules regarding the treatment, use and disclosure of confidential information.
The CBSA is required to terminate the scope proceeding or make a scope ruling within 120 days of initiation (or 210 days, if extended).
A sample scope proceeding schedule is illustrated below. The timeline to conduct the proceeding may be shortened if the CBSA considers it appropriate or extended in certain circumstances (e.g. complex or novel issues). The scheduling of events will be published on the CBSA's website at the time the scope proceeding is initiated and will be updated as required.
The CBSA will notify the applicant, if any, the government of the country of export, the exporter, the importer and the domestic producers, of the initiation of the proceeding. The CBSA will also notify the applicant, if any, the government of the country of export, and any other parties who have requested notification, of a termination, an extension and the ruling.
In each scope proceeding, a date for the close of the administrative record will be established, after which no further information may be submitted by parties. This permits participants to prepare their case arguments and reply submissions based on the information that is on the record as of the date of the closing of the record. For further guidance on obtaining information related to a scope proceeding, please refer to the Guidelines on the Disclosure of Confidential Information.
Accordingly, it is important that participants submit all of the information they believe supports their position prior to the closing of the record in order that the CBSA may take this information into consideration. Parties will be notified of the date of the close of the administrative record through the scope proceeding schedule.
one or more of the conditions for rejecting an application for a scope ruling have come into effect subsequent to the initiation of the scope proceeding.
The statement of essential facts (SEF) is a non-confidential report prepared by the CBSA. The SEF will include the CBSA's preliminary assessment of whether the goods are subject to the anti-dumping or countervailing measure. It will also include a summary of the facts that the CBSA relied on in making that preliminary assessment.
After publication of the SEF, parties may choose to submit case arguments based on any relevant information available on the administrative record and respond to the CBSA's preliminary assessment detailed in the SEF.
Parties may also submit reply submissions to the CBSA in response to the case arguments submitted. The date for receipt of both case arguments and reply submissions will be specified in the scope proceeding schedule. Generally, the CBSA will require that any case arguments be received no later than one week after the publication of the SEF and reply submissions be received no later than one week after case arguments are due. After the deadline for the receipt of reply submissions has passed, the CBSA will not consider any further submissions from parties.
As noted above, the CBSA will either terminate the scope proceeding or make a scope ruling within 120 days of initiation (or to 210 days, if extended).
A scope ruling takes effect on the day it was made unless otherwise stipulated and will include any terms and conditions that are considered appropriate. For example, a mill certificate may have to be included with the import documentation for a good considered to be not subject to a CITT finding. In this example, failure to provide the required certificate could result in the imposition of SIMA duties.
any other relevant factors that may be applicable to the specifics of the case.
A scope ruling is binding on the CBSA for subsequent decisions made with respect to the goods to which the ruling applies that are released on or after the effective date of the ruling. For information on re-determinations see the Guide for Appealing a Duty Assessment.
Pursuant to subsection 61(1.1) a scope ruling may be appealed to the CITT by any interested person, which for these purposes is defined in subsection 52.3 of the Special Import Measures Regulations (SIMR). The notice of appeal must be filed in writing with the CBSA and the CITT within 90 days of the date the scope ruling was made. A decision made by the CITT may be further appealed to the FCA.
there has been a material change in circumstances since the ruling was made.
The review of a scope ruling will result in a confirmation, amendment or revocation of the scope ruling. However, the process by which the decision is made will vary depending on the circumstances under which the review is initiated.

This post was originally published on December 8, 2010. The original can be found here.
As sort of follow-up-in-spirit to my older post I decided to share a really straight forward way to use Objective-C to build GTK+ applications.
Objective-C is an improvement to the iconic C programming language that remains backwards compatible while adding many new and interesting features. Chief among these additions is syntax for real objects (and thus object-oriented programming). Popularized by NeXT and eventually Apple, Objective-C is most commonly seen in development for Apple OSX and iOS based platforms. It ships with or without a large standard library (sometimes referred to as the Foundation Kit library) that makes it very easy for developers to quickly create fast and efficient programs. The result is a language that compiles down to binary, requires no virtual machines (just a runtime library), and achieves performance comparable to C and C++.
Normally when writing a GTK+ application the language (or a library) will supply you with bindings that let you create GUIs in a way native to that language. So for instance in C++ you would create GTK+ objects, whereas in C you would create structures or ask functions for pointers back to the objects. Unfortunately while there used to exist a couple of different Objective-C bindings for GTK+, all of them are quite out of date. So instead we are going to rely on the fact that Objective-C is backwards compatible with C to get our program to work.
As you can see from the list above we will be using GNUstep as our Objective-C library of choice.
In order to make this work we will be creating two Objective-C classes, one that will house our GTK+ window and another that will actually start our program. I'm going to call my GTK+ object MainWindow and create the two necessary files: MainWindow.h and MainWindow.m. Finally I will create a main.m that will start the program and clean it up after it is done.
Let me apologize here for the poor code formatting; apparently WordPress likes to destroy whatever I try and do to make it better. If you want properly indented code please see the download link below.
* callbacks for the winMain GtkWindow.
* with the count of the modified argv array.
* the GTK arguments removed.
For the class' actual code file fill it in as show below. This class will create a GTK+ window with a single button and will react to both the user pressing the button, and closing the window.
To finish I will write a main file and function that creates the MainWindow object and eventually cleans it up. Objective-C (1.0) does not support automatic garbage collection so it is important that we don't forget to clean up after ourselves.
Use the following command to compile the program. This will automatically include all .m files in the current directory so be careful when and where you run this.
Once complete you will notice a new executable in the directory called myprogram. Start this program and you will see our GTK+ window in action.
If you run it from the command line you can see the output that we coded when the button is pushed.
There you have it. We now have a program that is written in Objective-C, using C's native GTK+ 'bindings' for the GUI, that can call both regular C and Objective-C functions and code. In addition, thanks to the porting of both GTK+ and GNUstep to Windows, this same code will also produce a cross-platform application that works on both Mac OSX and Windows.

Explore the top Wi-Fi 6 technology benefits and providers
Learn the basics around Wi-Fi 6 along with the security, battery and bandwidth improvements that come with the upgrade and the top companies to consider for buying options.
Andrew Froehlich, West Gate Networks
With Wi-Fi 6 emerging on the scene, enterprise IT leadership must consider the different options regarding how to best upgrade their aging wireless LANs. Many are confused as to the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 and what vendors are leading the pack in technology, support and ongoing cost options.
This article explores the new Wi-Fi 6 standard and how it differs from previous standards to help create a cost-benefit analysis when looking at upgrade options, as well as details seven of the top network hardware and software vendors that offer on-premises or cloud-managed enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 6 technology platforms.
Wi-Fi 6 and the more technical name IEEE 802.11ax are one and the same. For years, Wi-Fi standards were differentiated using the IEEE 802.11 naming convention. Thus, the technology has gone through the following standards through the years in the enterprise until Wi-Fi 6 emerged:
Keeping track of each 802.11 standard and how they all differ is growing increasingly complex from a naming convention perspective. Thus, the Wi-Fi Alliance set out to create a new naming convention for Wi-Fi standards that is far easier to keep track of. Thus, it took the three most recent IEEE standard specifications -- 802.11n, 802.11ac and 802.11ax -- and began marketing them with the names Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6, respectively.
How is Wi-Fi 6 different from its predecessors?
Like the IEEE standards that predate Wi-Fi 6, this new standard performs all the same duties as Wi-Fi 5 and earlier, while also offering improvements in the areas of device capacity, coverage and overall performance.
It's also important to note that Wi-Fi 6 is backward-compatible with all other Wi-Fi standards back to 802.11b. That means older devices can connect to new Wi-Fi 6 deployments with the caveat that the performance and capabilities only match what the wireless end device can handle. Thus, most of the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 are only obtainable for those wireless devices that are also Wi-Fi 6-capable.
If both the wireless LAN (WLAN) and wireless device are Wi-Fi 6-compatible, they demonstrate the following improvements.
Efficient coding and more spatial streams = more usable bandwidth
The bandwidth and speed gains of Wi-Fi 6 are due to two advancements in wireless technology. First, Wi-Fi 6 incorporates more efficient coding processes that can transmit more data using the same 5 GHz spectrum. The second feature enhancing a wireless access point's (WAP) overall bandwidth capacity is using increased spatial streams.
Early 802.11 standards provided a single spatial stream for transport, so only one device was able to send and receive wireless data per WAP. For low-density Wi-Fi deployments, this was enough. However, as the number of Wi-Fi-capable devices began to increase on the enterprise WLAN, it created significant slowdowns for end users as devices had to wait to gain access to the single spatial stream. To address this issue, more recent standards have increased the number of simultaneous streams that a single WAP can handle.
For example, the 802.11n standard allowed for up to three spatial streams. Wi-Fi 5 can handle up to four -- while the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard provides eight streams. Thus, the combination of enhanced wireless encoding and the doubling of spatial streams makes the latest standard nearly 40% faster than its predecessor.
Advancements in MIMO provide better coverage and connectivity
Delivering uniform coverage with fewer dead spots is easier using advancements found in Wi-Fi 6 multiuser multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) technologies. MU-MIMO is the traffic control portion of the WLAN that dictates which end devices gain access to a spatial stream for the purpose of wireless data transport. With advancements of the technology, MU-MIMO enables more end devices to communicate at faster speeds, even in areas where wireless density is highly concentrated. Thus, a new deployment could potentially decrease the number of WAPs required to support wireless users, while also providing an increase in network speed and latency thanks to MU-MIMO.
End-device battery efficiency improvements
Many wireless devices that connect to corporate networks use battery as their main source of power. Besides providing power to the device itself, battery-powered Wi-Fi devices use a significant portion of power in order to transmit and receive data on the WLAN.
With the Wi-Fi 6 Target wake Time (TWT) feature, compatible devices can achieve improved battery life by lowering the amount of battery required to connect and operate on the Wi-Fi network. The WLAN and end devices use TWT to negotiate and set a per-device schedule on wake-up timers that indicate which devices are connected to a WAP versus those that have disconnected. By negotiating longer wake-up intervals, the battery-powered end device can have the Wi-Fi chip effectively turned off for longer periods of time, ultimately reducing the amount of power required over time.
Improved security
Wi-Fi 6 builds upon the security features of Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) from previous Wi-Fi standards, while adding more security benefits. The new standard is called WPA3, and it helps to increase cryptographic capabilities, improve authentication mechanisms and make back-end administration easier.
Evaluating top enterprise Wi-Fi 6 vendors
Because all vendors develop their products around the IEEE Wi-Fi 6/802.11ax standard, the comparison of enterprise-grade vendor hardware and functionality is going to be largely the same. That said, wireless network vendors do have ways to differentiate their platforms over others that reside outside the IEEE's specifications for wireless data transport.
In the following section, learn about seven of the top enterprise Wi-Fi 6 vendors compiled based on market analysis research from multiple sources.
For a company that got its start in the narrowly focused market of ultrahigh-speed packet pushing, Arista's purchase of Mojo Networks -- a Wi-Fi-centric company -- was a bit of a head-scratcher. Yet, according to company reps, the acquisition was part of a larger goal "designed to address transitional changes as enterprises move to IoT-ready campuses." In other words, Arista is now looking beyond the data center by taking on modern challenges of the campus LAN.
However, much like Arista's other products, the company's Cognitive WiFi branded platforms are targeted toward businesses that require high network performance levels. Arista accomplishes this using big data analytics to proactively identify and remediate inefficiencies that end-user wireless experiences often encounter.
While Cisco has a separate line of on-premises controller-based WLAN technologies, most of Cisco's Wi-Fi 6 sales are coming from its Meraki brand of cloud-managed WAPs. Meraki was a pioneer of cloud-managed networking components. While other vendors eventually caught up to the concept of cloud-controlled network devices, Meraki remains one of the best in terms of ease of use and administrative management.
Additionally, the Cisco Meraki line includes add-on integration benefits for organizations that have other Cisco and Meraki components on their network. While Meraki may carry a premium price compared to some others on this list, the quality of the platform combined with 24/7 support often justifies the extra cost.
CommScope/Ruckus
Ruckus has had an interesting path over the past few years. After being acquired and sold several times, the networking company is currently owned by parent company Arris, which was also acquired by CommScope in 2019.
While Ruckus sells several products in the overall network infrastructure market, Wi-Fi is at the heart of the company's portfolio. Both on-premises and cloud-managed Wi-Fi 6 hardware and software options are available. One major differentiating feature that Ruckus touts in its current line of Wi-Fi 6-capable products is known as the Ultra-High Density Technology Suite. This set of technologies sits on top of the 802.11ax standard and is designed to further network performance in high-density areas, such as convention centers, concert halls and sports stadiums.
Extreme/Aerohive
Extreme Networks has been on an acquisition splurge since 2016. Doing so has elevated the company to be a complete end-to-end network provider with the likes of Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Juniper and, more recently, Fortinet.
Prior to its Aerohive acquisition in 2019, Extreme only carved out a small niche with its legacy line of enterprise WLAN hardware and software using on-premises wireless controllers. Aerohive's controllerless and distributed architecture gave Extreme some differentiation from vendors that are moving to cloud-managed alternatives. The on-premises distributed architecture provides administrators with greater levels of tuning and control with added resiliency when compared to cloud-managed alternatives.
When most people think of Fortinet, they think of a security-centric systems provider, as opposed to one that sells traditional network infrastructure components, such as WLAN equipment. But, now that networking and network security are virtually synonymous, Fortinet has made tremendous strides into the enterprise networking market and is successfully competing with more traditional networking companies, such as Cisco, Extreme and Juniper.
Like most other vendors in the enterprise Wi-Fi market, Fortinet offers WLAN tools that admins can manage via a dedicated, on-premises controller or by using a cloud-managed service option. A third option for the SMB market is to use Fortinet's popular FortiGate product to serve as a next-gen firewall and perform the on-premises WLAN controller duties for the network.
Additionally, Fortinet's network access control (NAC) platform -- called FortiNAC -- can integrate into any of the three wireless architecture options to provide a streamlined way to securely manage the authentication, access and monitoring of wireless users, as well as autonomous IoT devices.
As an arm of HPE, Aruba designs and sells enterprise-grade network hardware and software, including software-defined WAN gateways, Ethernet switches and Wi-Fi 6 architectures. Like many other vendors, Aruba offers both on-premises controllers and cloud-managed WLAN architecture options.
The vendor also incentivizes customers to purchase and install other Aruba and HPE hardware and software by tightly integrating their WLAN products with network switches, network access controllers and remote office gateways. These proprietary integrations expand performance, security and accessibility features across multiple segments of the network. One example of this is using Aruba's ClearPass Policy Manager product with Aruba WAPs to provide secure access for mobile and IoT devices that roam from one business location to the next. The use of the cloud-managed controller with NAC authentication and authorization policies can create a unique and dynamic segmentation architecture that provides an extra layer of security that other providers cannot.
Juniper/Mist Systems
Prior to acquiring Mist in early 2019, Juniper's enterprise WLAN offering felt stagnant compared to the competition. The company has abandoned its wireless access hardware and software in favor of the Mist ecosystem.
With Mist, Juniper's wireless market has become infused with new and unique features thanks to the Mist AI-driven platform that provides deep visibility and insights into client health from a Wi-Fi perspective. The system can use collected wireless health data in order to detect performance anomalies that admins can subsequently track down and remediate to improve Wi-Fi performance. This level of visibility will be something that competitors will seek to mimic with their own platforms in the future. But, for now, Juniper and Mist Systems are hard to beat when it comes to ensuring the WLAN is operating at peak levels.

Whitefaced Woodland
Originating in the Pennines on the Yorkshire/Derbyshire borders the Whitefaced Woodland is also know as the Penistone after the Yorkshire town where sheep sales have been held since 1699. One of the largest of the hardy hill breeds it has a distinctive white face and legs, both Ram and Ewe are horned and they can thrive on poor grazing and harsh terrain. Often used for conservation grazing they are now an endangered breed. Their wool is much finer than that of other hill breeds and has traditionally been used to make hosiery and knitwear,
A primitive breed, Shetland Sheep are small, extremely hardy and thrive on poor land. The wool from their neck is famous for the Wedding Ring Shawl
Descended from long wool breeds they originated on Romney Marsh, Kent. A hardy breed, they rarely stray and need minimum attention. The vast sheep industries of New Zealand and Australia grew from this breed and they are now probably the most famous sheep in the world.
North Country Mule
Across between the Bluefaced Leicester Ram and Swaledale Ewe the North Country Mule or Bluefaced Leicester Cross is prized for it's hardiness and ability to survive on poor land. While in no danger of extinction, there are probably more of them in Britain than any other breed, the quality of it's wool has for too long been overlooked
Manx Loaghtan
Descended from the ancient primitive short-tailed sheep that once roamed Britain it is native to the Isle of Man where the Manx name is Lugh Dhoan which translated means Mouse Brown. It is easily recognised by it's naturally soft brown fleece and as many as six horns. Although on the endangered species list the increasing number of Manx Loaghtan lovers are determined it will not become extinct.
First mentioned in the Old Testament Book Of Genesis, Jacob became a breeder of pied sheep, hence the name. This ancient breed, which can have as many as 6 horns, is much prized for it's wool. Although still a rare breed enthusiasts are determined this beautiful sheep will not become extrinct
Believed to have been introduced to this country by early Norse Settlers or alternatively survived the sinking of a ship of the Spanish Armada, this hardy mountain sheep has been with us since about the 10th century and is responsible for shaping the terrain of the Lake District. Until the worth of the fleece of this much loved breed is recognised ~ it makes incredibly warm and durable outerwear ~ farmers will continue to breed them to maintain the countryside for the tourist trade rather than for profit.
Hebridean
A small primitive, short tailed breed, the Hebridean Sheep's history is believed to go back to the Iron Age. By 1973 there were only a few virtually feral parkland flocks remaining, so the breed has probably changed little from it's ancest0rs. Extremely hardy they can survive in the most inhospitable of regions without help from man.
Originally developed in the 1700's by Robert Bakewell, over the next 200 years it was commonly known as the Dishly Leicester and Hexham Leicester due to it's early appearance in the North of England. It is now recognised as the Bluefaced Leicester with it's roman nose, long erect ears and blue skin showing through short wool on the head. It produces only small quantities of long, lustrous wool which is much sort after for it's exceptional qualities and is possibly best known as the Sire of the Mule Ewe which makes up almost halt of the crossbred population of the UK.

Do you feel heavy, bloated, and feel pain upon elimination? Do you have headaches and experience unexplained chest pain? Do you also feel tired often, yet have trouble sleeping and not know the reason? These are all signs that your elimination system could be compromised.
Unlike the popular elimination diets promoted by modern Western science and mainstream media, the ancient, 5,000-year-old Indian science of Ayurveda recommends certain health-increasing dietary and lifestyle practices that need not be discontinued after a specified time period.
And whereas in the West, we tend to think of digestion and elimination as being totally separate phenomena, Ayurveda sees both as deeply intertwined. When digestion is optimal, healthy elimination naturally follows. What benefits digestion also supports elimination.
Having struggled with various digestive challenges for most of my life until discovering Ayurveda and yoga in my early 20s, I am incredibly grateful for what I have learned. The Ayurveda and yoga lifestyle practices which I learned and now teach at my Ayurveda school have transformed my life, and I am therefore delighted to share.
One of the fundamental laws of nature taught by Ayurveda is that of the five great elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. These five elements combine to form bio-forces called doshas in the entire universe, as well as inside our bodies.
One of these doshas is called Vata dosha. It is comprised of the ether and air elements. The nature of air is to move, and Vata dosha is thus in charge of movement in the body.
The Rishis (sages) of ancient India, to whom Ayurveda is believed to have been revealed, have observed that Vata dosha is dominant in the atmosphere between 2-6am. The hours of 4-6am are believed by Rishis and Yogis of lore to be a spiritually charged time of day, in which it is most beneficial to meditate and perform other spiritual practices.
As the sister science of yoga, Ayurveda recommends waking up between 4-6am, for its spiritual impact, and because Vata dosha moves in a downward and outward action in the body during this time, which allows us to more easily eliminate. This can be observed by how birds, babies, and animals all naturally eliminate in the early morning hours.
I cannot fully express how much of a difference waking up earlier has made in my life, its benefits on my digestion and elimination, and the much more positive perspective it has given me.
There is a concept called Agni in Ayurveda, meaning "digestive fire." Ayurveda compares our digestive capacity to a physical fire. We 'extinguish' this fire when we consume cold water, whereas warm water kindles digestive fire, supporting elimination.
I remember how good it felt to drink warm water immediately upon starting to do so, and there has been no looking back since then.
So often touted as the classic 'healthy food,' salads actually disturb the elimination process for most people. That is because, like drinking cold water extinguishes digestive fire, eating cold, raw, uncooked vegetables in salads is difficult for our digestive system.
Eating raw vegetables additionally aggravates Vata dosha. When Vata dosha is aggravated for a long time, it can lead to the development of 80 different diseases. Keeping Vata dosha in a state of balance is a priority in Ayurveda.
The science of Ayurveda therefore recommends eating warm, oiled foods, which supports the digestive process and helps balance Vata dosha. You can steam or add oil to salads if you'd still like to eat them.
As a former pasta salad lover, I understand the challenge this tip may pose. In Ayurveda, one's digestive health is seen as a reflection of overall health, and the quality of health I now experience as a result of sticking with warm, oiled foods is so much better that I don't miss my once beloved pasta salads at all now.
4. Practice Vajrasana after meals.
Come into a kneeling position and sit on your heels, with your palms on your knees. Sit in this position (called Vajrasana) for about 3-5 minutes after you finish your meals. This simple asana will help your food to digest in the most optimal way, preventing constipation, indigestion, hyperacidity, and other digestive challenges.
I have practiced Vajrasana after each of my meals for the past several years, and can see how my digestion have thanked me for it.
Try these Ayurveda and yoga tips today and your digestion will soon thank you, too.

Cubs back atop NL Central after 4-2 win
Aug 4, 2009 Updated Dec 13, 2018
CINCINNATI - The hottest team since the All-Star game is back in first place - barely - thanks to a rookie who keeps telling himself not to get caught up in the moment.
The Chicago Cubs really needed Randy Wells to keep a level head.
The 26-year-old rookie took a shutout into the eighth inning Monday night and wound up winning his fourth straight start, 4-2 over the Cincinnati Reds. Mike Fontenot's three-run homer off struggling Aaron Harang kept the Cubs rolling.
Dubbed underachievers for most of the first half, the Cubs have gone 13-5 since the All-Star break, best in the majors. They were 4 1/2 games out on July 10. The latest win moved them back into first place in the NL Central for the third time in the last nine days, a percentage point ahead of St. Louis.
The challenge now is to stay there awhile.
"We're right there in the standings," Fontenot said. "Hopefully we'll keep winning ballgames, and all of us can get hot the last couple of months, and we'll see what happens."
Wells (8-4) has been a big part of the turnaround. The right-hander was called up on May 8 and has been one of the league's top newcomers. He allowed six hits, including Alex Gonzalez's solo homer with one out in the eighth, while getting his fourth straight victory.
"He's pitched exceedingly well," manager Lou Piniella said. "What a nice job, huh? Where would we be without this young man?"
Brewers 6, Dodgers 5
At Los Angeles, Ryan Braun had a three-run homer among his four hits, and Milwaukee closer Trevor Hoffman retired Manny Ramirez on a bases-loaded fly to right to finish a victory over Los Angeles.
Manny Parra pitched eight outstanding innings, but Milwaukee nearly blew a four-run lead after he gave up two hits to open the ninth. James Loney hit Hoffman's first pitch for a two-run double, and Orlando Hudson drove him home to cut Milwaukee's lead to one.
After the Dodgers loaded the bases on a swinging bunt and a hit batsman, Ramirez could only manage the fly ball, keeping him without an RBI in 10 straight games.
Padres 4, Braves 2
At San Diego, Mat Latos pitched seven strong innings and fellow rookie Will Venable drove in the go-ahead run and made a run-saving catch for San Diego.

Latos (3-1) settled down after allowing a run in each of the first two innings. He retired 15 of 16 batters in one stretch and got a huge lift when Venable saved at least one run in the seventh with a diving catch in right field to end the inning.
Heath Bell pitched a perfect ninth for his 27th save and San Diego won for the sixth time in seven games.
Astros 4, Giants 3
At Houston, Geoff Blum and Kaz Matsui homered off Matt Cain and Houston snapped the San Francisco ace's six-start unbeaten streak.
Blum led off the fifth with a homer, the first earned run allowed by Cain in 14 innings. That cut the Giants' lead to 2-1 and Matsui put Houston on top in the sixth with a two-run shot off the right-field foul pole.
Diamondbacks 6, Mets 5
At New York, Mark Reynolds hit two home runs, powering Dan Haren and Arizona.
Reynolds and Miguel Montero capped Arizona's three-run first with only the second set of back-to-back homers at the new Citi Field. Reynolds added a two-run shot off Nelson Figueroa (1-1) in the second.
Gerardo Parra had three hits and drove in a run for the Diamondbacks, who nearly blew a six-run lead. Haren (11-6) allowed five runs and eight hits over seven innings.
Nationals 8, Pirates 4
At Pittsburgh, Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman homered and Washington rallied from a three-run deficit.
Cristian Guzman had two hits and two RBIs and Tyler Clippard (2-1) earned the win with three hitless innings of relief for Washington, which won the last two games to split the four-game series between the last-place teams.
Andrew McCutchen homered for the fourth time in three games and Ryan Doumit went 3 for 5 for the Pirates, who have lost seven of nine.

The Broadway Warm-Up (TBW) is a completely synchronized vocal and dance warm-up for professional and aspiring musical theatre performers.
As a private teacher, Kim Stern had been working with students for years who were either singers who dance who would warm themselves up vocally before a show but leave out a physical warm-up or dancers who sing who would do a dance warm-up but leave out the vocal warm-up. They felt shy, they didn't know exactly what to do or they just plain didn't have the time. Kim's teaching stuyle has always been based on the idea that the voice is an instrument of the body and if we are holding physical tension, vocal tension is sure to follow.
Deirdre Goodwin and Kim Stern came together to create TBW because they both felt there was something missing in the industry. They've created a warm-up that is completely synchronized for both dancing and singing where the movement is designed to free the voice and the voice is organically connected to the movement. The've also built in tools that an actor can use on a daily basis to get ready for virtually any performance!

FUN FACTS Beyond
These Facts About ASEAN Will Surprise You
by Adelaida Salikha
Published August 01, 2017 - 05:45 Jkt
Many of us already knew about the history of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (more commonly known as ASEAN) which comprises of 10 member states: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam.
But would you keen to know more about this ASEAN's fun-and-fast kind of facts?
Regardless of any of your preferences, Seasia has compiled many feel-good facts and information that could trigger your interest to know more about what ASEAN is and what this bloc has to offer you if you're the citizens of the region.
Let's get to know them!
The ASEAN countries' flags © http://www.brecorder.com
Do you know that ...
1. ... the Chairmanship of ASEAN rotates annually, based on the alphabetical order of the English names of Member States?
However, when the Member States switched turns or did not take a turn in the rotation. For instance, Myanmar did not take a turn as ASEAN Chair from 2006 to 2014.
It was reported that Myanmar feared Western countries could boycott meetings held there and cause the country to gain bad publicity.
In 2011, Indonesia switched places with Brunei because it did not want to be swamped with organizing too many meetings in 2013 as they were scheduled to also host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings in the same year.
Source: http://www.sombath.org
2. ... if ASEAN was a single country, it would be the seventh-largest economy in the world?
With a combined GDP of US$2.5 trillion, the region is already an economic powerhouse and is set to grow to become the equivalent of the world's fourth-largest economy by 2050.
The ASEAN was also the 3rd largest in Asia with the same combined GDP in 2014. By many other measures, the ASEAN region is already a player of global significance
3. ... ASEAN came into being in 1967, just two years before the internet was created?
As such, the impressive rise of ASEAN has coincided perfectly with the Third Industrial Revolution, driven by computers and communications.
As ASEAN celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, the world stands on the cusp of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, driven by technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, autonomous vehicles, ubiquitous mobile internet, and accelerating progress in genetics, materials science, and ultra-cheap automation.

This year on 8 August, South-East Asia celebrates an important anniversary: it will be 50 years since the Bangkok Declaration, which established the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), was signed.
Now let's have a peek on the fun-fast-facts about ASEAN, that you might have no idea or heard about them.
According to Michael Hofer's LinkedIn articles, there is more information that you should know by now:
1. There is a total of 40,717 Buddhist temples in Thailand!

2. The tiny island of Layang-Layang in east Malaysian state Sabah is actually man-made, formed from reclaimed land. The waters that surround it host some of the best dives sites in the world!
A special post code was launched in 2015 for Layang-Layang island, one of the world's best diving destinations. The 88005 special post code symbolises Malaysia's sovereignty over the remote island located 300km from Sabah or one hour by air from Kota Kinabalu. the state's capital city. © http://www.bigtreetours.com
3. Although Singapore means "Lion City" from the Malay word singa, lions are not indigenous to Singapore. They sure have them in Singapore Zoo.

4. Brunei is one of the few countries in the world where citizens enjoy free education and healthcare, subsidized food and housing, and do not pay income tax.
This small island surrounded by the South China Sea and Malaysia is famous for zero tax policy on individuals, no income tax or value added tax (VAT). However, corporations pay 22% – 55% taxes. © techidiomas.com
5. Indonesia consists of over 17,800 islands, many of which have yet to be named! If you stay one day in each island, you'll spend over 46 years to explore this world largest archipelagic nation.

General Motors Resumes Political Contributions
By | The Wall Street Journal
General Motors Co. has begun to once again contribute to political campaigns, lifting a self-imposed ban on political spending put in place during the auto maker's U.S.-financed bankruptcy restructuring last year.
The Detroit company gave $90,500 to candidates running in the current election cycle, Federal Election Commission records show.
The beneficiaries include Midwestern lawmakers, mostly Democrats, who have traditionally supported the industry's legislative agenda on Capitol Hill, including Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich.
The list also includes Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor, the House Republican Whip, who would likely assume a top leadership post if Republicans win control of the House in November.
It isn't unusual for big companies like GM to spend on political campaigns, but complicating GM's situation is that the company is majority-owned by the U.S. government. GM is planning to return to the public stock markets later this year, allowing the U.S. to begin to sell off its roughly 61 percent stake in the company.

On this Day: First Casa dei Bambini
HomeNewsOn this Day: First Casa dei Bambini
In 1942, on 6 January Maria Montessori shared the story of San Lorenzo and the first Casa dei Bambini with her students:
"Today is the anniversary of the opening of the first Casa dei Bambini. Quite often people ask if this method is suitable for poor children, so let me share the miraculous way in which all of this came about.
Many years ago Rome was a capital that was rapidly developing, which manifested itself in frenzied building activities. Every small bit of space that could be found was built up for the growing population. One of the few spaces left was bordered on one side by old Roman walls and on the other side by a cemetery. This plot was the last to be built up, possibly because of the superstitions surrounding the dead, for fear of ghosts and also hygienic reasons. One building society decided to take the plunge and they built 5 apartment blocks. It turned out to have been too ambitious a project and the scheme fell through. So what stood were walls, a kind of skeleton buildings without plumbing. It became a hiding place for homeless people; and those who wished to hide found shelter within those walls; even the police was not keen to go into this area as the place became a breeding place for crime and infectious diseases.
This San Lorenzo Quarter was talked of with abhorrence and seen as the shame of Italy. At some stage, another bold building society took on the challenge to renovate the buildings and allocated the flats to married couples. There were some 50 young children who lived unsupervised in these buildings, prone to mischief. The solution found was to gather them all in a room during the day and they looked for a gutsy person who would be willing to take on the social problems and work with the children.
I was approached as a medical officer of hygiene to take an interest in this work. Before I could agree I stipulated that certain conditions needed to be met in the way of hygiene, food and sanitation. It was quite fashionable among ladies in society to take an interest in efforts to elevate the people and some of these were prepared to support the project.
Although the lot of the poor was taken seriously, the children had been overlooked. There were no provisions for them, no toys, no teacher, nothing. I managed to find a woman of forty years whose help I asked, and who was willing to take charge of the children.
It was on the 6th January 1907 that this room was inaugurated."


The Naked Edge: The Complete Guide to Edged Weapon Defense by Steve Tarani, Unique Publications, 2002 ISBN: 0-86568-207-0.
Tarani did a great job on this book. I really enjoyed the clarity of the writing, instructional style, and illustrations.
The book is very cogent. All parts of it flow together well and create a nice systematic approach to the topic of empty hand defense against the knife. Tarani emphasizes that the best way to defend empty-handed against the knife is to get as far away as possible as fast as possible. The first half of the book deals with this most important part of knife defense and how to achieve the goal. He spends a bit on improvised shields and weapon of opportunity use against knife wielders. After that, he deals with blocks, parries, and evasive footwork as a means to escape. Finally, he begins control techniques, takedowns and disarms but warns heavily that these carry a much higher level of risk than escape techniques.
Tarani uses photos and drawings at different points in the book wherever one will provide better clarity over the other.
None of the techniques in this book are "advanced" or complex. The techniques are simple and straightforward. The book would make an excellent companion text to a one or two-day self defense seminar.
After reading this book, I've become interested in seeking out more material and instruction from Tarani.
"After reading this book, I've become interested in seeking out more material and instruction from Tarani."
I'm glad to see that he has put more thought into this effort than he did in the Gunsight Defensive Techniques: Walking Stick video. The stick vid seemed to be a rush job with little thought, perhaps to get on the cane band wagon.
His cane tech. were needlessly complicated and did not address the issue of adrenaline in the least. He had a small lady stop a big attacker who was rushing her (stop him dead in his tracks) with a downward stab into his foot. If she even managed to hit his foot, it seems unlikely an adult criminal would be deterred by such a thing.
In more than one combo, the bad guy is waiting for the 2 or 3 steps of the victim to be acomplished, the old "frozen bad guy" fallacy...oh well.
So, when you look for his stuff, the cane vid has caveat emptor written all over it.


Your smile is an important part of who you are and professional orthodontic treatments can go a long way toward helping you to obtain the smile of your dreams. While braces are the most common way to adjust the teeth to their proper position, the process certainly doesn't end once the appliances come off. In fact, many orthodontists believe that proper correction and retention lasts a lifetime.
Why Are Retainers So Crucial to Long-Term Orthodontic Success?
Once braces are removed, the inclination of the teeth is to move back to their original position, putting you right back where you started. Orthodontists discovered a great solution to the problem – the retainer. Using the retainer, patients can keep their teeth looking great and avoid spending more time and money having their orthodontic treatments repeated in the future. After all, any form of orthodontic treatment is an investment so why risk losing that investment when a solution so readily exists?
Why Choose Vivera Retainers Over Other Alternatives?
Vivera retainers, created by Align Technology, have a number of benefits that make them attractive to both orthodontists and patients alike. Unlike Hawley retainers, Vivera appliances are virtually invisible and are custom-made from thermoplastic instead of metal and thick plastic. Not only does this make them far more comfortable to wear, it also ensures a more exacting fit to promote ease of use as well as efficacy.
Utilizing the same technology that has made Invisalign so very effective and popular, Vivera retainers offer many advantages over other clear retainers as well. Tests have shown that Vivera appliances are up to 30% stronger than their clear counterparts, making these retainers far more durable and able to hold the teeth in their proper location. Additionally, Vivera retainers have even been found to make small corrections to the alignment of the teeth when needed, in the event of minor regression.
What Should You Expect From Your Vivera Retainer?
Vivera retainers come in a set that includes four custom-made appliances. The goal is to provide you with the maximum retention benefits possible. Depending upon your particular situation and needs, you'll likely need to wear your retainers either full-time or while sleeping. More and more practices, ours included, recommend that use continue for a lifetime so as to prevent any regression that could require significant, expensive further treatment.
How Can You Request Vivera Retainers For Yourself?
Vivera retainers are an excellent retention method for many patients, even for those who have worn traditional metal braces as opposed to Invisalign appliances. If you're nearing the end of your orthodontic treatment, simply make an appointment with us to discuss your options and mention your interest in Vivera. If, like many of our patients, you are a good candidate for these retainers, an impression will be made of your teeth and the retainers made to fit your smile and your smile alone. After all, the health and beauty of your smile is why we do what we do.

Or two bit actor Tony,life long Labour supporter uses Brexit as a excuse to attack Corbyn.Campaigned against him relentlessly instead of focusing his energy on the Tories.Fecking beggers belief how anyone is suprised what we ended up with.
He told voters under no circumstances should they support a Corbyn lead Labour Party.
So yes I think bellend was almost a term of endearment for Robinson.
That was wrong of him, but criticising Corbyn and accepting he was a liability as leader is the right of anyone, especially a party member, in the same way as you criticise Starmer at every opportunity.
Starter is turning out as useless as Corbyn, but in a different way.
Rusty Nails said:
Pointless argument really as this is about the piece of sh1t Blair...but I'll answer.
I haven't got the ears of the media though have I ?
Tony Robinson campaigned relentlessly to stop a Labour Govt, at any cost. He worked hard to install a Johnson Govt because of his hatred of Corbyn.
Now I'm not sure which part of that is your right as a Labour party member ?
But don't expect me to say all is forgiven Tony as I liked you in Blackadder.

So nothing substantial to your earlier post, just Twitter spats about a Labour party member and activist who wasn't happy with the Labour party under Corbyn.
Substantial? I have an opinion about a celebrity and his behaviour - I hadn't realised this required special dispensation.

theclaud said:
I would have thought accusing a person of being against a policy because it would affect his personal taxation would require something more substantial/factual than just an opinion such as: "The depths some people will sink to rather than pay a little more tax, eh?"
I believe this little contretemps typifies what is still wrong with the Labour Party. Always fighting yesterday's internal battles rather than getting into a position where they can challenge the Tories for power.
You are right though that Tony Robinson is small fry in the scheme of things, especially as I understand he had resigned from the Labour Party at the time of his most critical comments.
The one time I thought we had a chance of change and a decent leader and we get fecked by members of our own party ! But I'm meant to rejoice with Starmer lol....
Your right....I'm not full of enthusiasm !
You are not meant to rejoice with Starmer, that is the point. A good leader makes people want to support them rather than be supposed to. The party's last two, or four really, have failed, or are failing, that requirement.
My problem with Robinson is nothing to to with his opposition to a particular policy (which I have merely inferred in any case) and everything to do with using his celebrity status to traduce a social justice movement. I can't stand the horrible little smug bastard and I don't care if you think I'm being mean to him.* Sorry.

I believe this little contretemps typifies what is still wrong with the Labour Party. ....
I have been a member of the Labour Party I suppose thirty years now.
I am unapologetically proud to continue believing that every single leader Labour have ever had, Blair included, was/would have been/would be better for this country than every single conservative leader.
Given the choice, I'd have had someone with the politics of Corbyn but avoiding the suggestion of antisemitism and with the charisma of Blair or Kinnock and the leadership ability of, well, Blair again (someone a bit like I fondly imagine Atlee to have been). But I have little sympathy with people who said then that Corbyn wasn't someone they could support, or, equally, people who say now that Starmer isn't someone they can support - wake up folks, the alternative is Johnson....
Reactions: FishFright, Xipe Totec and Mugshot
swansonj said:
Charisma is overrated. I think Blair did the Labour movement no favours. His actions suited the neoliberal agenda. Choosing the least bad alternative is persuasive, but a sad legacy for the political descendents of Atlee.
Blair actively undermined the NHS with marketisation and private finance debt. He refused to take on 'right to buy' or even to help build council homes. His idea of education was more mantra than meaningful. He made socialism a dirty word.
Could Corbyn have avoided the suggestion of anti-semitism? His support for Palestinian rights was wrongly conflated with anti-semitism. Should he have repented publicly? He is a person of conscience, and the issues were over-simplified by his detractors. Left-wing jewish members are now being expelled from the party for similar reasons. Corbyn wanted the party to sort out its own root problems of democracy.
The trouble with this of course is it means exposing shortcomings, but if you don't point them out it doesn't mean they don't show.
I think the Labour party has too many members who bought their council houses, and are protectionist of their 'privilege'. Closet Tories. Please take the Labour party by its scruff and have local party meetings about important things like scrapping right to buy and re-nationalising energy and railways!

Mussolini got the trains to run on time....so they say 🙄
Although I was overjoyed in 97 when Blair won his first election, that was soured when it became apparent that one of the things he'd agreed with the dirty digger for getting the S*n to support Labour was for Blair to call off the dogs over Hillsborough. The 'impartial' investigation was dropped like a dog-turd and Jack (man of) Straw was nowhere to be seen after promising the people of Liverpool he'd get to the bottom of the disaster and punish Murdoch and McKenzie for their vile behaviour.
Reactions: newfhouse, theclaud and Adam4868
Odd how many yearn for the Blair years....count me out of that.He changed very little.
As for Starmer the jury's still out for me,but I don't see much I like.

His Knighthood hasn't gone down too well apparently.

Canada's Royal Wedding Gifts
Here is a press release from the Government of Canada concerning the country's wedding gifts to His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement to announce the Canadian wedding gifts for His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton:
"I am pleased to announce the Government of Canada will make a donation to the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary in honour of the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton. The Government of Canada will offer this wedding gift on behalf of all Canadians.
"The Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary was chosen by Prince William and Miss Middleton to be the Canadian beneficiary of a special charitable fund that was set up to celebrate their wedding. The donation of $50,000 by the Government of Canada will allow the organization's volunteers to carry out their mission, which is to offer—day and night—a permanent search and rescue program to meet the needs of Canada's marine services, as well as to prevent injuries or loss of human life at sea. Through its search and rescue and nautical safety programs, this not-for-profit organization assists the Coast Guard and the Department of National Defence.
"Canada is proud to offer a wedding gift to a family member of our Head of State, Her Majesty The Queen. This gift was chosen specifically for the occasion and represents Canadians and the pride they have in their country.
"The selection of this worthy cause is symbolic of Canada's affection for the Royal couple. Canadians are eager to welcome the Royal couple to Canada for their first Royal Tour as newlyweds and share the best of our great land."
The Prime Minister and Mrs. Harper have also arranged for a personal gift of outdoor equipment for use when the Royal couple experience Canada's natural splendour later this year.
From June 30 to July 8, 2011, the newlyweds will undertake a Royal Tour of Canada, their first visit outside the United Kingdom as a married couple. They will visit Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and the National Capital Region. A detailed itinerary will be released at a later date.

Paulo Autuori de Mello (born 25 August 1956), known as Paulo Autuori, is a Brazilian football executive and manager who is the current manager of Atlético Nacional.

Early life
A football fan since early childhood and a futsal player, Paulo Autuori had to give up his dream of becoming a professional footballer after contracting poliomyelitis in his teens. The disease left him with an atrophied leg and a permanent limp on his walk, which prevented him from playing. However, he did not give up his dream of being part of the footballing world, and decided to learn other aspects of the game, specifically becoming a manager. Autuori's first jobs were working as a physical coach for clubs such as Portuguesa (RJ), and Nacional in Portugal. At Nacional, Paulo Autuori was promoted to manager of the main team, and has enjoyed a successful coaching career ever since.

Autuori graduated in Physical Education at Universidade Castelo Branco; and attended a Sport Admninstration course at PUC-RJ and a Soccer Coach Course at UERJ.

Managing career
Autuori's first major title was winning the 1995 Campeonato Brasileiro with Botafogo.

In 1997, he won the Copa Libertadores with Cruzeiro. In 1998, he joined Flamengo, where he guided them to an 11th-placed finished in the Campeonato Brasileiro, and a group stage exit in the 1998 Copa Mercosur. The following year, he joined Sport Club Internacional, and then Santos, and shortly after that rejoined Cruzeiro for the 1999-2000 season. In 2000, he joined Vitoria Guimaraes.

In 2003, he joined the Peru national team as manager to lead them through 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification and the 2004 Copa América. His first official match was on the first matchday of the World Cup Qualifiers, which finished in a 4–1 win against Paraguay. Peru finished ninth in the table, with 18 points. In April 2005, shortly after the 2–2 draw with Ecuador, he quit Peru, with the reasoning being that he declined to declare in front of a Congress, due to the Peru national team scandals.

Shortly after quitting Peru, he was hired by São Paulo to replace Émerson Leão, who had just gone to Japan. In that year, he won the 2005 Copa Libertadores and the 2005 FIFA Club World Championship.

Ten days after winning the Club World Championship, on 29 December 2005, he left São Paulo to sign with Japanese club Kashima Antlers, with the financial opportunity being the main reason for the decision. At the end of 2006 he announced his new club as Cruzeiro, this was his third time at the club.

From 2007 to 2009, Autuori managed Qatari club Al-Rayyan.

In May 2009, Gremio announced Autuori as their new manager with a contract until 2009. However, on 12 November 2009,, Autuori decided to leave Grêmio and return to Al-Rayyan.

On 21 November 2009, Qatar League side Al Rayyan replaced Brazilian coach Marcus Paqueta with his compatriot Paulo Autuori. The latter only left the club six months ago to join Gremio in his homeland, but made a swift return after signing a three-year contract.

Autuori became the coach of the Qatar Olympic team on 27 August 2011. He replaced Frenchman Bernard Simondi. His first assignment was to lead the team during the 2012 London Olympics Qualification stage. Qatar failed to qualify for the Olympics, after finishing third in their group.

On 20 February 2012 The 55-year-old Brazilian became the fourth manager of the Qatar national team in the previous year. He was fired by the QFA on 15 January 2013 after his team failed to qualify for the knockout round of the 2013 Gulf Cup. Shortly after, he was hired by Vasco da Gama. However, he left the club on 10 July 2013, due to poor results and internal conflicts. The following day, Autuori signed with São Paulo, returning to the club after eight years. This time, however, Autuori arrived in São Paulo to solve a crisis, with the club having lost its five last games.

On the following day, Autuori was introduced as the new coach despite the preference of many fans, who wanted Muricy Ramalho's return.  The new coach of São Paulo said that, if the choice were his he would have signed Ramalho who Autuori considered a "winner". Autuori affirmed that he felt "a lot of satisfaction to return to this glorious institution, with big aims."  The former vascaíno coach said that "I have not come to be loved; I have come to be champion."

Even in a middle of a crisis, Autuori has improved the ambient in São Paulo, a bad one in comparison to period that Ney Franco was the coach. Lúcio's removal from staff, according some people of club, was essential for this.

On 9 September 2013, Autuori was fired after a 2–0 loss against Coritiba, a result that kept the club in relegation zone of Brazilian League. In a report from the official site of club, there is a praising about his work. His substitute was Muricy Ramalho, who also replaced him in 2006 in club from Morumbi Stadium.

On 5 June 2018 Autuori was announced as the new Director of football in the Bulgarian champion Ludogorets Razgrad, but on the next day he was presented as the new manager of the team, since Dimitar Dimitrov wanted to leave the club. He stepped down from his position in October 2018, citing personal reasons.

Hi loves! How's your week going? It's been sleepless over here. Poor Hunter is teething so no one has been getting any sleep. Fingers crossed they pop through soon so we can get more shut eye. Onto the post!
I have a review of the BoxyCharm October box! What's BoxyCharm, you ask? BoxyCharm is a beauty subscription that comes to your doorstep every month with 4-5 full size luxury items for $21 a month. While that might sound a little more expensive than other subscription services, consider that you're getting guaranteed four full size products every month while compared to Ipsy where it's only $10 but they're usually smaller samples. The promise of full sized products alone totally got me hooked on it!
October's theme was Faces of the Moon which is a pretty unique theme, am I right? This box is all about embracing who you are but also letting the beauty of "all your faces" show. Love that!
Palmetto Derma Rejuvenating Antioxidant Mask ($64) - Let's start with the most luxe product in the box! At $64, this mask is about three times the box itself so you're already getting your money's worth with this product alone. This clay mask gently purifies by cleaning your pores and skin. I love that they put a universal mask in the box. Sometimes you can receive skincare and it's not for your skin type so it's kind of a waste. This mask, however, can be used on all skin types.
Bellapierre Cheek and Lip Stain ($20) - This stain is great for people on-the-go as it combines two products into one. You can apply the lip stain as you would a lip balm or dot it on your cheekbones and blend in for a nice, flushed look. I like that this stain is very natural looking. I've had ones where I've gone to dot it on my cheeks and there's been bright red dots that would not blend.
Lord & Berry Line Shade Eyeliner ($18) - I love trying out new brands! This eyeliner is formulated with kajal and kohl to provide deep, rich color. I like that you have time to smoke it out before it becomes unbudgeable. It's really long-lasting and doesn't flake away.
Cult Cosmetics Nail Polish in Boneyards ($12) - Currently rocking this on my nails right now! Boneyards is a smokey grey polish that screams fall to me! Consistency is nice and was opaque with two coats. Cult Cosmetics is also a new brand to me. I honestly got them confused with Cult Nails at first and then did some research to find that they're two different companies.
Doucce Punk Volumizer Mascara ($24) - This mascara is not your typical mascara. First off, mascara packaging itself is kind of clunky but for a good reason: that's to house the plump mascara wand inside! The consistency of the mascara wasn't too thick or wet and really lifted my lashes while elongating them. I was surprised!
Overall: This box had a lot of products and brands I had never heard of which I loved. I'd have to say my favorite product from this box would hands down be the Cult Cosmetics nail polish. I'm drooling over the color! What's your favorite product from this box?


I have a newly rebuilt motor and I just rebuilt the deck, replaced carpet, and other items on the boat including the throttle and cables. The boat ran great the first 10 or 12 times out other than shifting felt as if it went into to gear hard at times. The last time I went out the boat started fine but seemed to be idling high. The boat would die when I put it into gear but it would restart. Now at the house it starts again in high idle and I cannot get it to slow down no matter what position the throttle is in.

Chapel Choir Choral Evensong at Tewkesbury Abbey
The Chapel Choir returned to the magnificent setting of Tewkesbury Abbey to sing Choral Evensong. It is always a great privilege each term to venture further afield from our regular Abingdon ecclesiastical settings and we have been lucky enough to sing at some of the most impressive locations and buildings over the last few years, with Tewkesbury being no exception. As ever, the boys rose to the occasion admirably as ambassadors for the school, both vocally and in terms of their conduct, and both elements were praised by the congregation and staff of the Abbey. The music included the Canticles in G by Stanford, as well as his Anthem, "Oh, for a Closer Walk With God", both of which ideally suited the setting, acoustic, and organ of the Abbey, as well as the choir this year; and featured impressive solos from Oscar Bennett in the Magnificat and Brooklyn Han in the Nunc Dimittis. Brooklyn was also an excellent Cantor for the responses and his perfect pitch ensured very slick and professional transitions in the service. There was a healthy gathering of congregation and it was particularly good to see many friends and extended family members of the choir in attendance - many from the nearby area. We look forward to turning our attentions towards the Christmas music now, in preparation for the three Carol Services at the end of term.
