I've spent a lot of time today installing Debian boxes and testing build documents. After using both the old and new installers (Sarge installer RC2) I've come to a bundle of conclusions. The new installer hides a lot of the complexity from most users (use expert mode to get it back). It has a better screen for per-partition options (although it does make you do each one on a separate screen) and it flows a lot better.
On the downside we have the need to set each partitions options on a separate screen (I mentioned it twice as it's a pain), the lack of a "wipe all data but save partition table" option and, most importantly, in expert mode IT PROMPTS FOR PCCARD EVERY SECOND BLOODY SCREEN. And it drove me nuts. After asking me almost a dozen times about the PCCARD it then picked up that the machine wasn't a laptop and asked if it could remove the PCMCIA packages. GAH!


Occupation has been traced back to about 2000BC but the first evidence of a permanent settlement was in Saxon times when the village was called Stede. The Roman road, Stane Street passes through the south east of Ashtead where there is a site of roman occupation near St. Giles Church. There is also the remains of a Roman villa on Ashtead Common and traces have been found of a major tile works which may have supplied a major market in the South East and was probably the main economy of the villa.
Little is known of the 600 years from the departure of the Romans to the Norman Conquest. It is likely that there was only a small hamlet of 40-50 people living here in Saxon times. Human bones, thought to be Saxon were found in Ermyn Way and the grounds of what as the time, Goblin's works. After the death of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, ownership of Ashtead passed to William the Conqueror's half brother, Odo, Bishop of Bayeaux. Tile making went on in the 14th century and by the Tudor period the population had grown to about 200 people, although this was reduced by about a third by the Black Death.
The principal occupation of the area was farming which peaked in the 1850-1860s when there was 5 farms. However the decline started by 1870 with the import of cheap American grain and by the hard winter of 1880/1. The farms switched to livestock but this too was hit by cheap frozen meat from South America. When Mary Howard, whose family owned most of Ashtead at that time sold her property in 1879, developers moved in due to Ashtead's closeness to London.
St Giles Church was built in 1120 as a chapel and became a church in the 13th century. It stayed much the same until 1839 when it was restored and extended. St Georges Church replaced an Iron Church that was donated in 1882 and was completed in 1906. However further work to extend and enhance the church was undertaken between 1959 and 1964. Further improvements have been made since 1995, in particular a new church hall. The Ashtead Free Church started as the Ashtead Gospel Church in 1895 in another iron church. This was replaced by the current building in 1924. St Michael's Catholic Church started in a large garage of a private house, Mawmead Shaw which had been purchased in 1944. It was pulled down and the current building opened in 1967. The private house, Rushmere behind was also purchased and demolished to make the church hall.
In the 18th century, Ashtead had 3 pubs all owned by Richard Howard. The Berkshire Arms which disappeared in the 1820's, The Haunch of Venison that transferred its licence to the Leg of Mutton and Cauliflower was on the site of what is now Forest Lodge. The "Leg", as it is known locally was also a farm until the late 19th century. There is evidence of an earlier pub on that site, The Three Horseshoes between 1655-84. The current building dates back to 1890 but part of the original pub still exists in the rear. In 1839 there was a beer shop on the site of what is now The Brewery which started brewing its on beer in 1871. At about the same time, The Woodman had a rival beer shop which was very popular with the navvies who built the railway. The current building was built in the 1930s.
By 1836 there were 12 stagecoaches travelling through Ashtead but this declined with the arrival of the railway in Ashtead in 1859 which was electrified in 1925. The Victorian age saw a resurgence of road use with the arrival of the bicycle and the motorcar. By 1913 there were regular motorbuses coming to Ashtead with day visitors who visited the common and the roman villa excavation. There were teahouses on both sides of the railway, a helter skelter and a further teahouse in Rectory Lane. By 1925 traffic through Ashtead had increased to such an extent that a complaint was made to Surrey County Council about the noise.
In 1924 the much needed Peace Memorial Hall was built with funds raised from events held in the 1920's. in 1932 the recreation ground in Lower Ashtead was opened. In 1901 Ashtead had its own independent Fire Service but this was merged with Leatherhead in 1926. In the 1880's pumped water arrived supplied by East Surrey Water from its pumping station in Leatherhead. Gas was supplied at about the same time but electricity did not arrive till after 1900. Drainage and sewerage removal also was improved by 1900.
Development stepped up a gear with the arrival of the railway and most of the farm land made way for houses for commuters who worked in London. If it hadn't have been for the Green Belt that was created in 1947, all the woodland that we enjoy today would have disappeared and Ashtead would have become another suburb of London.
In the early 20th century, Ashtead had a brickworks, a photographic plate and paper production, leather manufacturing and a pottery even silk making but all have disappeared over the years. In more recent times there was a factory that produced leathercloth for the motor industry located in The Street, originally owned by Brifex and later by Carrington Vyella but that closed in the mid 70's. Goblins were based in Ermyn Way for many years producing electrical goods, including the teasmade but they closed and the site is now owned by Esso. Remploy who employed disabled people to make leather goods have also gone. Prior to them, Thermega used to make electric blankets in that building.
In recent times, the building of the M25 has increased the popularity of Ashtead as a place to live and there has been much "in filling" to maximise the number of houses. There may be some relaxing of the green belt restrictions to provide affordable housing which is in chronic short supply.


With waterfront views in every room, the Marina Grand Resort promises a place to relax, renew, and explore the coast of Lake Michigan. Following recent renovations, the resort needed a rebrand to better express its stylish experience and a strategy for its email communications.
A refined color palette and nautical patterns extend the sense of being on the marina to every part of the brand. The welcomed regional approach to the email campaign aligns the hotel's promotions with the new brand, while allowing it to promote its sibling properties, restaurants, and other nearby experiences.
Indoors, outdoors, and online, we reimagined every detail, incorporating materials that reflect the setting, and establishing a voice that creates a narrative guests can connect with. The result is a consistently pleasing guest experience, elevated to the same level as the service and surroundings.


Aerobic exercise empowers the aging brain.
Two new studies provide more evidence that regular aerobic exercise not only staves off the problems with thinking and memory that often come with age, but it can actually help turn back the clock on brain aging.
People with mild mental impairments of the kind studied – known as mild cognitive impairment — typically have some memory difficulties, such as forgetting people's names or misplacing items. Each year, 10 to 15 percent of individuals with mild cognitive impairment will develop dementia, as compared with 1 percent to 2 percent of the general population. Previous studies in animals and humans have suggested that exercise may improve thinking and memory.
Six months of intense aerobic exercise "improved cognitive abilities of attention and concentration, organization, planning, and multi-tasking," study chief Dr. Laura Baker noted in an email to Reuters Health. In contrast, cognitive function test scores continued to decline in the group that didn't have vigorous exercise.
The other study, by Dr. Yonas E. Geda and colleagues at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, involved 1,324 elderly adults free of dementia in 2006-2008. Experts determined that 198 had mild cognitive impairment and 1,126 had normal cognitive function.
Moderate exercise in midlife was associated with a 39 percent reduced likelihood of developing mild cognitive impairment, and moderate exercise in late life was associated with a 32 percent reduction in the odds of mental decline. The findings were consistent among men and women.

The following psychic test is not based on any scientific or academic research but it can help determine if you have some ESP talents towards guessing a number. We added it mostly for fun. The number is between 0 and 9. Like in quizz shows or puzzles, the number is displayed by an asterisk.
The auto generated number is hidden behind the symbol *. Focus on the hidden number and see what comes to mind first (no need to spend an inordinate amount of time on it, your first impression would probably be the best to measure your psychic abilities). If you need a little help, you can click on the "CHEAT" button and it will reveal it, however, don't overuse it or the test would be worthless. After you have decided on a number, insert it in the text box and click "CHECK". If you don't feel anything with the current number, you can always generate a new one by clicking on the "NEW NUMBER" button.
You can do it as many times as you'd like, a new number is generated after you click on the "CHECK" button and the session box at the bottom will log your track record. Check out also your statistics to the right. The higher the number of sessions, the more meaningful the percentage score is (if, for example, you get 50% after 20 sessions, that would be really impressive, while getting 50% with only two sessions can be pure luck).


The bulk of the message consists of an update on Project Destiny by Paula Reynolds, AIG's vice chairwoman and the head of its restructuring effort.
"Simply put, we are going to get our groove back," wrote Ms. Reynolds.
We're sorry — maybe it's because we saw Anvil recently — but "Project Destiny"? "Seize the Future"? Getting their groove back? Sounds to us like Liddy et al. are planning on presenting their plan in the form of a face-melting performance of pure metal. We hope Congress is ready to rock!

Covid-19 hits local businesses
Gene Scott, above, who sells Christmas trees in Larimer is having a good year, but many local retailers are suffering as shoppers, afraid of exposure to Covid-19 in this late fall/early winter surge, are taking their holiday shopping online.
After a huge surge of cases stemming from Thanksgiving gatherings, the state has further limited how many shoppers can be in a store at any one time, but even without the state limitations, shoppers would be staying home to try to stay healthy.

Christmas goes online
Calvary Episcopal Church can't hold its Christmas Pageant in the usual way, so the director of
youth formation, Tammy Lewis, at left with Charmin the baby camel, worked with other church leaders to bring the pageant outdoors where the shepherds would be working with the animals outside. This year's flock was mostly kids of the baby goat variety. The scenes of the day were videoed and will be edited
with footage of the children at home, then posted online.

Judge rules Burgess can stay on council
Allegheny Common Pleas Judge Joseph James made two decisions in the case challenging The Rev. Ricky Burgess' standing on city council. First he said that the provision stating that council members could not have government jobs was unconstitutional and second he said that Burgess' job as a tenured community college professor was not a government job because it was not controlled by Allegheny County.

The Cozy Coconut: I'm 162! Lowest ever in my adult life!
I'm writing an update, unsure who is really out there. But I remember when I started this journey, I scoured message boards and eventually came to a certain group of bloggers (those I talk with here) and I wanted so desperately, the success that I saw in others. I kind of stalled around 190, went up and down and figured my weight loss story was written.
Then, I get an endoscopy because of my concerns around my persistent long-term acid reflux. One day after the endoscopy, I had a terrible pain and muscle cramp in my stomach. That's when I'm personally certain that I developed my stomach hernia. I know this because my eating changed immediately and has not been the same since. I also lost, for the most part, my hunger pangs. I've been wanting to write something specifically about this, because Amy W has written about this before and I really think she's right. She asserted that the band isn't all about limited how much we can eat, but also about stimulating the vagus nerve and eliminating that "need" to eat all the time. The constant thinking about and obsessing about what we're eating. With this hernia, I just don't think about it. It's not my central thought most of the time and it's much easier to plan how healthy I want to eat. And I've been eating very clean and able to control my calories consistently. I have almost eliminated dairy from my diet because I wanted to see what the hoopla was all about and my stomach feels less bloated, but I'm not convinced eliminating dairy is the reason why. I also consciously choose my calories to be very clean and eat almost no processed foods. I feel better. I look better. And I weigh the least I've ever weighed that I can remember. This hernia has been a real blessing and I am actually grateful for it.
It has made me realize that exercise, running half marathons, and all of that is not going to make me lose weight. For me, limiting my calories and consistently keeping my calorie intake low with higher calorie days thrown in every week to keep my body guessing has been key to my weight loss. Exercise is absolutely necessary - to keep me from losing muscle and because it's simply the right thing to do and healthy for my body. But for some reason, I thought the more I worked out the more weight I would lose. I realize now that limiting my calories was primary to my weight loss. I didn't always eat healthy, sometimes I was weak and ate Chef Boyarde Ravioli, but I still kept my calories low in the 1200-1400 range regardless of what I ate. I made sure I got in 60-100 grams of protein and I also found that because my hernia seems to relax sometimes, I was able to eat MORE than my consistently low calories usually once a week. On the days I ate a more calories after a couple of weeks of consistently low calories, I dropped pounds. Keeping my body guessing on how many calories it was going to get seemed to really make a difference. I track my weight and my food intake religiously and it allowed me to realize my natural pattern for losing weight and when my body holds on to weight, as long as I stay consistent, it's a sign that my body is about to let go of a few pounds. Instead of being discouraged and giving up and blowing it b/c my weight ticked up a little, looking at my weight loss chart made me realize that bump in weight is actually the precursor to my dropping a pound or two.
As for exercise, it is just plain healthy and keeps me toned. And I don't do it as often as I think I should and want to. Instead of exercising always at such a high intensity (so that I would burn enough calories) I've found I don't have to work myself to death daily to lose weight. I exercise so I can be strong and not because I think running will burn the most calories. It has changed my outlook on exercise, removed the pressure, and I actually do the things I like to do and I don't kill myself with crazy intensity and then give up over time b/c I can't keep up the schedule when life happens. I take it easy on myself and walk, bike, do yoga, and I do the activities I enjoy, not the ones that I think will burn the most calories in the least amount of time. It's a completely different approach for me. For some reason, I thought exercise and limited calories had to be equal in focus.
Then this hernia takes away my appetite and limits my calories basically for me. And I've lost 30 lbs! My gastroenterologist watches me closely and agrees that I can continue to wait to have surgery as I'm still able to lose weight and I'm losing it very slowly. It's taken me 8 months to lose 30lbs but wow is it awesome to feel successful finally. And I enjoy wearing clothes. I enjoy how I look in clothes for the first tim. I feel healthier because I am.
I need to post some pictures of myself. It's surreal to try clothes on from last winter and last summer that literally fall off me. All of my tops are droopy. I never conceived that my tops could be too big. I love trying on clothes and the sales person the other day said "you're picking too large a size" NO ONE EVER has told me that. I smile and pretend being smaller is normal for me because I've always wanted to know what that felt like. It feels really great and totally worth it. For those of you struggling to get there, don't give up. It may take you a long time like me, but I'm here and it's pretty awesome!!
That's right! Definitely a silver lining! There is good news out there and there is hope - you're gonna get that baby weight you want off. It's just so hard in the beginning b/c you spend all your time taking care of the baby and don't have the time and enough sleep to take care of yourself. But it will come and you will do it!!
You look wonderful! I'm sorry it took a health issue to get you where you wanted to go.

The Complete Organ Works of J.S. Bach
ABOUT THE BACH CONCERT SERIES
by James Kibbie
This series presents the complete extant organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach in eighteen concerts. The first seventeen use a unique resource, the C.B. Fisk organ in Blanche Anderson Moore Hall at the University of Michigan. This instrument is modelled on the 18th-century German organs of Gottfried Silbermann, one of Bach's favorite organbuilders, and is named in honor of my late colleague Marilyn Mason. The final concert will be on the iconic Frieze Memorial Organ in Hill Auditorium.
These concerts offer an opportunity to contribute to the James Kibbie Scholarship, which was established in 2000 to support organ and sacred music students at the University of Michigan. The greatest joy of my 42 years on the Michigan faculty has been working with our extraordinary students. They inspire me daily. Through the generosity of our scholarship donors, we will continue to bring the world's finest organists to Michigan.
The canon of Bach organ works is growing in the 21st century. When I played the complete organ works of Bach in eighteen recitals at the University of Michigan in 2000, the series included 266 works. When I recorded the complete works about ten years later on original baroque organs in Germany, the number had grown to 274. With the addition of works that have been recently discovered or authenticated, this current series includes 281 works, totaling over 18 1/2 hours of performance time.
Exactly which works should I perform? More than 270 years after Bach's death, it is by no means certain exactly what he composed. The selection of works for this series draws on the forthcoming revision of the Bach Werke Verzeichnis (Bach Works Catalog), supplemented by other recent scholarship including research by Christoph Wolff, George Stauffer, and my own Bach coach Peter Williams. Bach's organ transcriptions of works by other composers have been included. I'm also performing those works that survive only as fragments, leaving them incomplete as they exist in the manuscript sources.
Several works once thought to be by Bach have now been identified as spurious, and so have not been programmed on this series (for example, the Eight "Little" Preludes and Fugues). Even guided by the best current scholarship, I was left with a handful of pieces that might or might not be by J. S. Bach. I have made my personal choices as to which of these to play, including especially those long associated with the Bach canon, such as the Pedal-Exercitium and the Kleines harmonisches Labyrinth. Ultimately, though, my programming represents only a snapshot of current Bach research. No doubt future performers of the complete works will make some different choices.
I have tried to construct eighteen "audience-friendly" programs, each planned as a complete unit, so that someone attending just one or two concerts will still experience the rich variety of Bach's genius. Except for Program 4 (the great pedaliter settings of Clavierübung, Volume III), each program follows a similar plan, beginning and ending with a free work (for example, a prelude and fugue, fantasia or concerto) and featuring several contrasting groups of chorale-based pieces separated by one or more additional free works.
It is an honor to play this magnificent music. I hope you will enjoy the performances. Soli Deo gloria.

SFU Aboriginal Math and Sciences workshop attracts high school students from across BC
By Ian Bryce
As the 2016 school year begins, Aboriginal high school students across BC are planning their future and applying to post-secondary institutions. To help make that decision easier, Simon Fraser University offered a free workshop in math and sciences.
Over 70 Aboriginal students—some from as far away as Bella Bella—came to SFU for the 6th annual Aboriginal Students in Math and Science workshop on Thursday, January, 14.
The students met with four prominent Aboriginal researchers in biology, math and astronomy to immerse in the program offerings.
One of these researchers was Kyle Bobiwash—a biology PhD candidate studying the effects of pollinators on blueberry crops.
Bobiwash has a family history with blueberries and ecology. "My grandfather used to manage the biodiversity of the forest," says Bobiwash. "He would take down hardwood trees to encourage the growth of blueberries and other beneficial plants."
Bobiwash began his post-secondary education in bio-medical sciences at the University of Ottawa. He then pursued a master's at the Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute in Southern Ontario. His research has lead to a doctorate of science in biology at SFU.
"When you're good in science and math the ultimate job is to be a doctor," says Bobiwash. "But, when you go to university, you have the opportunity to take your time and really find that thing that you love the most."
Bobiwash says that there is a lot of support in the form of scholarships that encourage Aboriginal students to go into arts, justice or health science programs but not as many for pure science and mathematics.
Looking at SFU's own statistics, 65 percent of Aboriginal undergraduate students are enrolled in arts and social science programs while only 16 percent are in math and science.
Veselin Jungic, a mathematics professor, wants to encourage more Aboriginal students to choose science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs. He invited Bobiwash and professors from University of British Columbia, University of Calgary and First Nations University of Canada to present at the workshop.
"These scientists are role models for young people," says Jungic. "I hope that this will be an event that students are not going to forget any time soon. They are learning from four Aboriginal scientists that are highly successful in their fields."
The annual workshop is organized by the Math Catcher Outreach Program, the SFU Office for Aboriginal Peoples, the Faculty of Science, the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, and the SFU Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in the Mathematical and Computational Sciences.

Q: 'random_shuffle': is not a member of 'std' error I'm trying to use std::random_shuffle, and get a compilation error.
My compiler is v140(Visual Studio 2015), and I work on x64, Release mode.
My code:
#include <random>
#include <algorithm>
void foo()
{
    std::vector<int> v;
    std::random_shuffle(v.begin(), v.end());
}

The errors which I get:
error C2039: 'random_shuffle': is not a member of 'std'
error C3861: 'random_shuffle': identifier not found

*

*Any idea what could the problem be?

Thanks!

A: The code compiles fine with the default settings for toolchain v140. However, if you add the option /std:c++latest, removed parts of the standard library might not be usable anymore.
Probably an attempt to get as close as possible to C++17.

A: random_shuffle was deprecated in C++14 and completely removed in C++17.
You need to use shuffle which takes a random generator as parameter.
You can see a simple example on the site:

std::random_device rd;
std::mt19937 g(rd());

std::shuffle(v.begin(), v.end(), g);

n4190

Removing auto_ptr, random_shuffle(), And Old  Stuff
...
III. What Must Die
D.12 "Random shuffle" [depr.alg.random.shuffle]
This defines random_shuffle(first, last) and random_shuffle(first,
  last, rng). (The latter takes a RandomNumberGenerator, whose
  requirements are totally different from C++11's
  UniformRandomNumberGenerator.)
The problem with random_shuffle(first, last) is that it's permitted to
  use rand(), which is permitted to be low quality.  (rand() is even
  permitted to introduce data races, 26.8 [c.math]/5, although I'm not
  aware of any implementation that does so.)  Constructing mt19937 urng
  and calling shuffle(first, last, urng) is a far superior alternative.
  Unlike random_shuffle(first, last), calling shuffle(first, last, urng)
  requires the user to be aware of the URNG's existence and state, but I
  argue that this is a feature, not a bug.
random_shuffle(first, last, rng) is the Knuth shuffle algorithm. It's
  not evil, but it's almost unusable in practice, because the "rng"
  function object is required to provide a very strange interface. (It's
  actually required to return a uniform integer distribution over a
  varying interval, which is difficult to do without introducing bias.)
  shuffle(first, last, urng) is vastly easier to use, because it
  directly consumes a URNG.

Visual Studio C++ standard version.
Unlike gcc or clang, Visual Studio doesn't offer the option to select the standard version, so the question that pops up is: which C++ standard does VS implement? The answer is... neither... and a little of every. Last I checked their philosophy was that they strive to slowly get to the latest standard version, but not in standard versions steps, that is they were implementing C++14 features while C+11 wasn't still fully implemented. So you will see some parts of C++11 implemented, some parts of C++14 implemented and some parts of C++17 implemented.

A: TLDR:
I was in Visual Studio and faced this error.
To fix this, simply set the /Zc:__cplusplus flag in Properties > C/C++ > Command Line and you are good to go.
Long Explanation:
I faced this issue when trying to use Hayai. In visual studio the __cplusplus is always set as 199711L and Hayai that also checks for this always fails in visual studio becasue of this:
        /// Randomly shuffles the order of tests.
        static void ShuffleTests()
        {
            Benchmarker& instance = Instance();
#if __cplusplus > 201100L
            std::random_device rd;
            std::mt19937 g(rd());
            std::shuffle(instance._tests.begin(),
                         instance._tests.end(),
                         g);
#else
            std::random_shuffle(instance._tests.begin(),
                                instance._tests.end());
#endif
        }

As you can see becasue of this issue in visual studio it always branches into the wrong snippet and thus fail.
To fix this, simply set the /Zc:__cplusplus flag in Properties > C/C++ > Command Line and you are good to go.
From Microsoft:

The /Zc:__cplusplus compiler option enables the __cplusplus
preprocessor macro to report an updated value for recent C++ language
standards support. By default, Visual Studio always returns the value
"199711L" for the __cplusplus preprocessor macro.
Remarks

The __cplusplus preprocessor macro is commonly used to report support
for a particular version of the C++ standard. Because lots of existing
code appears to depend on the value of this macro matching "199711L",
the compiler does not change the value of the macro unless you
explicitly opt-in by using the /Zc:__cplusplus compiler option. The
/Zc:__cplusplus option is available starting in Visual Studio 2017
version 15.7, and is off by default. In earlier versions of Visual
Studio, and by default, or if /Zc:__cplusplus- is specified, Visual
Studio returns the value "199711L" for the __cplusplus preprocessor
macro. The /permissive- option does not enable /Zc:__cplusplus.
When the /Zc:__cplusplus option is enabled, the value reported by the
__cplusplus macro depends on the /std version switch setting. This table shows the possible values for the macro:

Bowie William "Bo" Horvat (born April 5, 1995) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre currently playing for and an alternate captain of the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL).
He was selected ninth overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. During his junior career in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), he won the Wayne Gretzky 99 Award as playoff MVP in 2013, as well as two J. Ross Robertson Cup titles with the London Knights. Internationally, he has played for Team Canada at the 2012 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, 2012 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament (under-18), 2014 IIHF U20 Championships and the 2018 IIHF World Championship.
Horvat was born in London, Ontario, to Tim and Cindy Horvat. His father is a former hockey player who also played major junior with the London Knights, while his younger brother, Cal, also plays hockey. He grew up in Rodney, Ontario, which is approximately 50 kilometres away from London, a farming town with a population of about 1,000.
Upon his NHL draft, the town hosted a celebratory event for him at West Elgin Arena, his childhood minor hockey arena, and was reportedly attended by more than 1,000 people. As a child, Horvat cheered for the Detroit Red Wings. He has also listed Mike Richards as one of his favourite players growing up.
At age four, Horvat played for The West Lorne Comets. At age 12, Horvat played peewee for the Toronto Red Wings, winning the all-Ontario Peewee AAA championships in 2008. With ten points in the round-robin portion of the tournament, he won the leading scorer award. Living approximately 100 kilometres away from Toronto, Horvat was driven into the city every weekend by a teammate's father and practised separately from the team throughout the week.
By 2010, Horvat advanced to the midget level with the Elgin-Middlesex Chiefs. He scored 47 goals and 118 points over 68 games in his first and only season with the team and was named the Minor Hockey Alliance of Ontario's midget player of the year. At the end of the season, he played an additional five games of Junior B for the St. Thomas Stars, a team coached and owned by his uncle, Ron Horvat (Horvat's father also helped out with the team). During his brief stint with St. Thomas, he registered a goal and four points.
In the summer following his midget season, Horvat was selected 9th overall by the London Knights in the 2011 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Priority Selection Draft. Joining the Knights for the 2011–12 season, he scored a goal in his OHL debut on September 23, 2011, an 8-0 win over the Saginaw Spirit. Horvat completed his OHL rookie season with 11 goals and 30 points in 64 games, ranking 18th among the league's first-year players. In the playoffs, he contributed a goal and three assists over 18 games, as London won the J. Ross Robertson Cup as league champions. With the Knights advancing to the 2012 Memorial Cup, Horvat scored a goal in three games. London finished as tournament runner-up to the Shawinigan Cataractes, losing 2–1 in the final.
In 2012–13, Horvat improved to 33 goals and 61 points over 67 games, ranking fourth in team scoring. As part of the OHL's annual coaches poll, he was voted as the league's best in faceoffs and shot blocking. He was also recognized for his academic efforts as the Knights' representative on the OHL Scholastic Team. In the post-season, Horvat added 16 goals and 23 points in 21 playoff games, helping the Knights defend their OHL championship. In the deciding game of the finals, Horvat scored twice, including the game-winner with less than a second remaining. Leading the league in playoff goals, Horvat was given the Wayne Gretzky 99 Award as the post-season's most valuable player. Advancing to the 2013 Memorial Cup, the Knights finished as semifinalists, losing to the Portland Winterhawks 2–1. Horvat recorded two goals and five points in five games. With zero penalty minutes, he was named the tournament's Most Sportsmanlike Player.
Entering the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Horvat was ranked 15th among North American skaters by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau, while International Scouting Services ranked him 10th overall among all draft-eligible skaters. He was scouted as a two-way forward who could contribute in all areas of the game, both offensively and defensively. When asked to compare himself to an NHL player, Horvat stated that he tries to model his game after Mike Richards, a Selke Trophy nominee in previous years. Horvat was taken ninth overall in the draft by the Vancouver Canucks, who had traded goaltender Cory Schneider in exchange for the draft pick.
While attending Canada's national junior summer camp, Horvat was signed to a three-year, entry level contract on August 6, 2013. Following his first training camp and pre-season with the Canucks, Horvat appeared to have made the team's opening roster. After the Canucks made a trade for a pair of centres from the Carolina Hurricanes, however, he was reassigned to the OHL for another season of junior.
Returning to London for his third OHL season, Horvat was often rumoured by the media to succeed Scott Harrington as the Knights' next team captain. The decision ultimately went to forward Chris Tierney, while Horvat was selected as an alternate. Playing in 54 games, Horvat recorded a career-high 74 points (30 goals and 44 assists), ranking third in team scoring to Max Domi and Tierney. He added 5 goals and 11 points in 9 playoff games, as the Knights were eliminated in the second round.
Competing for an NHL roster spot in his second training camp with the Canucks the following season, Horvat was hit by Edmonton Oilers forward Tyler Pitlick during a pre-season game and suffered a shoulder injury. Upon recovering, he was assigned to the Canucks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Utica Comets, on a conditioning basis. After five games without a point with Utica, Horvat returned to the Canucks.
Horvat made his NHL debut on November 4, 2014, against the Colorado Avalanche. Six games later, he scored his first NHL goal on November 20 against Frederik Andersen of the Anaheim Ducks. The following game, he registered his first three assists in a 4–1 win against the Chicago Blackhawks. On November 25, the Canucks announced that they would not be returning Horvat to the OHL despite his remaining year of junior eligibility. Despite Horvat's status as a highly anticipated prospect, Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins admitted later in the season he had not expected Horvat to compete for a roster spot. Playing on a line with wingers Jannik Hansen and fellow rookie Ronalds Ķēniņš, Horvat earned bottom-six ice time in his first year with Vancouver, averaging 12:15 minutes per game. In 68 games, Horvat scored 13 goals and 12 assists. His regular season play earned him two fifth-place votes for the Calder Memorial Trophy, ranking him 11th among first-year players for the rookie of the year award. During the playoffs, he added a team-high four points in six games during the Canucks' first-round loss to the Calgary Flames.
During the first half of the 2015–16 season, Horvat juggled heightened goal-scoring expectations along with increased defensive responsibility after injuries to Brandon Sutter and Henrik Sedin. After enduring two goal-scoring droughts of 9 and 27 games, respectively, he went on a six-game point streak between January 4 and 15, during which he scored six goals and nine points. When that streak ended on January 17, it was tied for the longest active point streak in the NHL. Horvat credited this change to advice from his father to shoot the puck more often, in lieu of bull-rushing the net, in addition to increased chemistry with left-winger Sven Bärtschi. Horvat ended his sophomore season with 16 goals and 40 points.
On January 10, 2017, Horvat was named an All-Star for the 2017 NHL All-Star Game after having tallied 13 goals and 16 assists up to that point. Horvat was the youngest Canuck to be selected for an All-Star Game since Trevor Linden. On March 3, 2017, Horvat was named as one of Vancouver's second alternate captains, replacing longtime Canuck Alex Burrows. Horvat ended the 2016–17 season with 20 goals, 32 assists and 52 points, setting career highs in all three categories.
On September 8, 2017, the Canucks re-signed Horvat to a six-year, $33 million contract extension worth $5.5 million annually. On December 5, 2017, Horvat suffered a broken foot during a game against the Carolina Hurricanes which resulted in him missing six weeks of play. Despite missing 18 games over that span, Horvat managed to set a new career-high in goals with 22, often playing on the first line with Bärtschi and rookie Brock Boeser.
The following season, after the retirement of Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Horvat was named one of four alternative captains for the Canucks, after not having served the role during the 2017–18 season.
Horvat was a member of Team Ontario's under-16 team at the 2011 Canada Winter Games. Scoring a team-leading nine points (four goals and five assists) in six games, he helped Ontario to a fourth-place finish. The following year, he captained Team Ontario at the 2012 World U-17 Hockey Challenge to a bronze medal. He scored four goals and seven points in six games, including a goal and an assist in the bronze medal game against Sweden. The same year, he was named an alternate captain for Team Canada's under-18 team at the 2012 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. With two goals and four points in five games, he helped Canada to a gold medal.
During his third OHL season, Horvat was named to Canada's under-20 team for the 2014 World Junior Championships in Malmö, Sweden. After beginning the tournament in an offensive role, centring a line with Connor McDavid and Sam Reinhart, he finished on Canada's checking line and earned praise from head coach Brent Sutter for his defensive play. In seven games, he recorded a goal and three points as Canada ranked fourth.
In 2015, the Vancouver Canucks had the option of loaning Horvat to Team Canada for the World Juniors, but instead chose to retain him in the NHL.
On April 12, 2018, Horvat was named to Team Canada's senior team to compete at the 2018 IIHF World Championship.
He is second cousins with professional hockey player, Travis Konecny. On September 3, 2018, he got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Holly Donaldson.

Violet Stars is a purple/red/gold mega chrome flakie (a special type of thin multichrome flake). Mega chrome flakies are larger, shinier and shift to more colors than normal chrome flakies. The base of this polish is clear and it is meant as a one coat effect top coat (pictured is one coat over white).
It is similar in overall shift to Eye of the Cyclone (#1), however Violet Stars is darker and has less metallic shine and more of a glow effect.

The Ladies of Streets of Vengeance
Monday, December 19, 2016 Chris Charles Actresses, Models 2
Since its mid-October release, Paul Ragsdale's carnal thriller Streets of Vengeance, described as an 80s-style female revenge movie, has met with many favorable reviews by indie film critics. However, this article won't be a review of the film, but rather a feature of all the ladies in its cast, which, considering the names here, is actually just as good an endorsement of this movie as any favorable review would be.
If this film would have actually been released back in the VHS days, it would have been found on those shelves furthest back in the video store, just outside the curtain, behind which led to the adult section, where you could have found many titles featuring this film's special guest star. Pictured above in what would surely would have been on the film's VHS box cover, are (left to right); Victoria Dementieva, Amanda Cox, Delawna McKinney, Paige LeNey, Cassidy St. Hubbins and Flora E Moon.
Delawna McKinney stars as porn star "Mila Lynn," who assembles a group of vengeful vixens to extract revenge on the underground group of men who raped and tortured her, then left her for dead. Says director Paul Ragsdale of the character; "The character of Mila and the whole film's aesthetic was greatly influenced by the iconic Ginger Lynn, who made a special guest appearance in the film. To have both of these actors share the screen, the inspiration and the manifestation, was surreal and phenomenal." Calling Modesto, California home, Delawna currently has just one other film to her acting credits, but her modeling resume is a bit longer.
Left: Cassidy St. Hubbins as "Liv" and Flora E Moon as "Stella." Right: Paige LeNey as
"Amber." All three of these ladies are making their film debuts in this one.
Left: Victoria Dementieva plays "Katia," in her only credited film role, to date. Fans can obtain photos of Victoria in the Christmas spirit from JVGraphy here and here, just in time for the holiday season. Right: Joanna Angel as "Nina," is a veteran of the adult video industry as a performer, writer, and director. Her long list of titles at her IMDb and IAFD pages will reflect that. She was one of the hosts at the 33rd Adult Video News Awards this past January and her official website has been voted AVN's best porn star website for six years in a row. There isn't really anything that can be shown or told about Joanna here that can't be seen or learned about her at her website, but ….
…thrown in here is a fairly recent and gratuitous "shibari" bondage shot of Joanna (not
from this film, sorry to state) showing off some of her tattoos. Photo by The Dark Arts.
Another heavily-illustrated lady in the film is Angela Mazzanti, credited as "Knife Girl." It's her first acting credit, but she's built up an impressive modeling portfolio, samples you can view at her Instagram page and her Model Mayhem profile. Jazmine C. Sanders (aka Jazmine Colleen) plays "Lana" and is also new to the film industry. Born in Santiago, Chile and now living in Southern California, you can learn more about Jazmine at her Facebook fan page and at an interview she did with Monster Diggare.
A graduate of the Paul Mitchell Schools, Amanda Cox (left) is a hairstylist by trade and making her acting debut as "Val" in this film. Kaytlyn Breeane, credited as "Jane Doe," in the film, is an exotic dancer by trade. Another colorfully inked lady, she can be seen (but not sure what nights) at Sirens Gentleman's Club in Columbus, Ohio. See more of Kaytlyn at her Model Mayhem page and her feature at Inked magazine.
Alexis Amore and Sophie Dee (aka Kirsty Hill, which she's credited as in the film) are also among the adult industry alumnae in the cast. For Alexis, who plays "Lucia," Streets of Vengeance is the latest in her long list of credits at IMDb, which include only a select batch of her adult video roles. Her full adult video credits at her IAFD page amount to over 340 since she began her porn career in 1999. Sophie has racked up over 530 performer credits to her body of work in the 11 years she's been in the adult industry. Fans, who are members at her official website, can occasionally see her live on webcam.
Krystal Shay is credited as an unnamed "webcam girl." She's fairly new to the adult industry, with just six credits listed at her IAFD page, but I'm sure that number will increase, as will her fanbase, who also know her as KushBunny.
Adult video icon Ginger Lynn (billed in this, as she has in most of her "legit" film roles, as "Ginger Lynn Allen") has a special guest role as "Roxy Carmichael." Ginger was one of the biggest names in porn at the dawn of the home video age in early 1984 and was the first adult video performer to be signed to a contact with a major production company (Vivid Video). The XRCO Hall-of-Famer now personally oversees the operation of her official website and may hopefully appear on the pages of Idol Features in an exclusive interview in the not-too-distant future.

Saturday, October 28, 2017 Rock Baker B-Movies 1
Orgy of the Dead was a bizarre cross between a horror movie and a nudie cutie (pre-porno skin flicks focused on naked girls). It plays like Halloween night in a strip club.

An hour and one-half's conversation with Quezon in Pasay —he is still in bed but is better. Had him to myself as the others were at the pier greeting the arrival at 9:30 a.m. of Secretary of War Dern. Quezon again expressed a thrill at my recent reception by the public here —said it was genuine and not manufactured— he had nothing to do with preparing it. He added that they would have "murdered me" with kindness if it had not been for the preparations for the inauguration. Described may incidents of the Wood and Stimson administrations —Said he might have— if he had not himself as Resident Commissioner learned to know the real sentiments of American people. He added that Stimson was rough and direct and pounded the table. Said he (Q) loved Stimson —he always kept his word and told the truth.
Stimson, said Quezon, offended the Americans here by refusing to consult their opinions —he told them that he represented the United States and what he wanted to learn was Filipino opinion. He described the successful fight Stimson made here to put the foreign banks under the bank examiner. He had told Jim Ross and the Manager of the National City Bank of New York that they were obstructing his Government. Had Manager of the National City Bank transferred out of this country and told them that if the bank did not remove him, it would not have the backing of the Department of State, when he took up his post of Secretary in Washington. Quezon remarked with a laugh that when Stimson left here, the local Americans would [have] elected me (the writer) President if Stimson had run against me. When I offered to leave "unless he had something more to say to me," he hesitated then opened up as follows:
He told me that I was to be a guest of the Government for one month; and after the inauguration, he would make me one of his advisers —the work to be defined later—I was to fix my own salary—he wanted me with him, and thought it would make a favorable impression on the people but did not seem positive of that. (I suppose he feels that my welcome here is a sentiment which might be diminished if I took any work here.)
Then he talked of the Governor General and remarked that it was an outrage that Nick Kamisky, the old caretaker of the Palace, was being taken away from Malacañan but that he wanted my servant Ah King as his butler. The he talked again of plans he said were being made by Murphy for future work of the High Commissioner here.

UZBEKISTAN: Asking about religious freedom violations is "stupid"
Seven days after charismatic Christian Bobur Aslamov was detained during a raid on a religious meeting in Samarkand, his whereabouts remain unknown, one Protestant told Forum 18 News Service on 10 April. Church members fear he could face criminal charges. Police beat some church members during the raid. Police, secret police and Justice Department officials raided a Full Gospel congregation in Tashkent on 9 April, just before the Justice Department was due to rule on the congregation's long-stalled registration application. Five church members face administrative penalties. Amid renewed media attacks on religious communities, Baptists objected to regional television coverage of a police raid in March. "This programme aimed to stir up society against church members," they told Forum 18. "And all this is being done in defiance of the law." Begzot Kadyrov of the government's Religious Affairs Committee refused to discuss this and other recent harassment of religious communities. "Don't disturb us with stupid questions about religious liberties," he told Forum 18.
Several Protestants have been detained in separate raids on churches since the beginning of April, Forum 18 News Service has learned. Following a raid on a meeting of a charismatic Protestant church in a private home in the central city of Samarkand on 3 April, church member Bobur Aslamov remains in detention at an unknown location, one Protestant told Forum 18 on 10 April. And in a raid on a Full Gospel service in the capital Tashkent on the evening of 9 April, church leader Serik Kadyrov and four others were held in custody overnight before being freed, another Protestant told Forum 18 on 10 April. They now face administrative punishments, as do Protestants elsewhere in Uzbekistan.
The last few months have seen intense pressure across Uzbekistan on religious communities of a variety of faiths. Two imams and a local leader of the Muslim Board (Muftiate) in Namangan were sacked after the imams taught their faith to teenagers without state permission. In Samarkand Jehovah's Witnesses have faced particular pressure, with a coordinated series of raid and interrogations. Criminal charges were launched in late March against one local Jehovah's Witness, Olim Turaev, who faces up to eight years' imprisonment if convicted. Eleven others were fined and others assaulted (see F18News 9 April 2008 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1111).
The Justice Ministry is also taking steps to expel the head of the Jewish community, Chief Rabbi Abe David Gurevich, from the country (see F18News 11 April 2008 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1113).
Begzot Kadyrov, the leading specialist of the government's Religious Affairs Committee in Tashkent, refused to discuss the detention of the Protestants in early April or any of the other recent harassment of religious communities. "Don't disturb us with stupid questions about religious liberties," he told Forum 18 on 10 April. "How many times do I have to explain to you stupid people: write an official letter to the Foreign Ministry."
The 9 April raid on the Full Gospel service in Tashkent's Chilanzar District was conducted by the police and National Security Service (NSS) secret police, accompanied by officials of the district Hokimat (administration) and the city's Justice Department, Protestants told Forum 18. They complain that during the raid – which they described as "illegal" – 51 Christian books, including Bibles, as well as other Christian material was confiscated.
Serik Kadyrov and the four other church members held overnight at the Chilanzar District police station were accused of violating two Articles of the Code of Administrative Offences: Article 240, which punishes "violation of the law on religious organisations"; and Article 194, which punishes "failure to carry out the lawful demands of a police officer". The five were brought to court on 10 April, but the case was then postponed until 11 April. The five lodged official complaints against what they regard as "illegal" actions by the police.
The Full Gospel congregation had lodged a registration application with the Justice Department on July 2007. A decision was to be given on 11 April and it is possible the raid was timed to give the authorities a reason not to register the congregation.
During the 3 April raid on the charismatic church in Samarkand, police seized Christian literature, as well as a laptop computer, several Protestants told Forum 18. Protestants reported that the police detained all those present, beating at least some of them. All but one – Aslamov - were soon freed. His case was then handed over to the secret police.
Church members initially believed that officials wanted to prosecute Aslamov under Articles 240 and 241 ("failing to observe the correct procedure for teaching religious beliefs") of the Code of Administrative Offences. However, one Protestant told Forum 18 that they are now afraid that the police might open a criminal case against him.
Nosir Berdiev, the head of Samarkand city Religious Affairs Department, told Forum 18 on 10 April that he was not aware of the 3 April raid and the detention of Aslamov. He took down Aslamov's name.
However, asked about why official pressure is mounting on religious communities in the city, given the recent raids on Protestants and Jehovah's Witnesses, Berdiev responded that he did not know of any pressure. "We don't have any pressure on the religious communities here in Samarkand," he claimed.
Elsewhere, two members of the small Council of Churches Baptist congregation in Mubarek in the southern Kashkadarya Region, Vladimir Khanyukov and Said Tursunov, were summoned to face an administrative court on 8 April, Protestant sources who preferred not to be identified told Forum 18. The summons followed a raid on the church on 16 March and the two are facing punishment under Article 240 and Article 241 of the Code of Administrative Offences. However, in an unexpected move, the judge decided after reviewing the documentation to send the cases back to the police for further investigation.
Council of Baptists congregations refuse on principle to register with the authorities, insisting that registration leads to unwarranted state interference in their activity. This leaves them vulnerable to harassment by the authorities. Uzbek law – in defiance of the country's international human rights commitments – bans all unregistered religious activity.
At 10 o'clock in the morning on 16 March, a group of six police officers arrived to break up the Mubarek church's Sunday morning service. Leading the raid was the deputy head of the local police A. Saidov, church members told Forum 18. Accompanying the police was the chair of the local mahalla (neighbourhood) committee, R. Gaipov.
"Without any warning and without identifying themselves and without presenting any documents, they started to film," church members complained. After they insisted, the seven intruders identified themselves. When church members asked them not to interrupt the service, the six police officers withdrew, leaving only the cameraman, Yu. Salomov. They say he stayed to film the entire service, against the wishes of church members.
After the service, church members found the police waiting in the yard with two official witnesses and a man in civilian clothes who said he was from the Prosecutor's Office, but would not show any identity card.
Church members say the police went back into the house and began questioning the children about how often the come to church. They also confiscated six Bibles, 35 copies of the New Testament in Uzbek and Russian, as well as other books, magazines and audio-cassettes. They say police drew up an official record of the confiscated material but would not give them a copy. A camera crew then arrived from the regional television station and filmed the yard and inside the house where the church meets. They also tried to interview church members. Five hours after they arrived, the police, other officials and the television crew left.
Church members complained that a hostile television programme using footage filmed them during the raid was shown on regional television on 23 March.
"It maintained that they had found banned literature, cassettes and discs with the believers and that parents were banning their children from watching television, using computers and forced them to go to services, thus depriving their children of a normal happy childhood," they told Forum 18 on 5 April. "The believers were also accused of conducting propaganda of their faith among the population. This programme aimed to stir up society against church members. And all this is being done in defiance of the law."
Church members point out that Uzbekistan's Constitution and international human rights conventions ban incitement to religious hatred and guarantee the right to practice a faith freely. They call for prayers and support so that not only they but all churches in Uzbekistan would be able to hold services, educate their children in their faith and preach their faith to others without obstruction. They also demanded the return of the confiscated literature.
Khanyukov was also singled out for criticism in an anonymous article published on 29 March in the local Russian-language paper Novosti Kashkadari. It complained that he had "launched widescale propaganda activity". "This is confirmed not only by the composition of those joining the praying – which include children – but the presence of an extensive library of printed, audio and video materials on a religious theme." It said 9,606 items had been removed from this "illegal" library. It said the church failed to abide by the law requiring religious communities to register and that the law-enforcement agencies and the court would be dealing with Kanyukhov.
In an earlier case, Eduard Kim, a member of a Council of Churches Baptist congregation in Fergana [Farghona], failed in his attempt to have his punishment for unregistered religious activity overturned, a Protestant who preferred not to be identified told Forum 18. Kim was fined 372,600 Sums (1,468 Norwegian Kroner, 186 Euros or 287 US dollars) on 26 February for holding what the court said were "illegal religious meetings" in his house. This represents about nine months' average wages for the city (see F18News 12 March 2008 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1099).
Kim lodged an appeal against the verdict, but on 17 March Judge A. Madalimov of Fergana Regional Criminal Appeal Court rejected the appeal.
A Seventh-day Adventist, Nadezhda Kozhina, was punished in the central town of Gulistan [Guliston] under the Code of Administrative Offences for conducting "missionary activity", Adventist sources told Forum 18 on 7 April. Missionary activity is illegal in Uzbekistan.
Last September an Adventist service in Tashkent was broken up and five of their leaders were the subsequently fined (see F18News 12 October 2007 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1034). The Adventists report that their legal challenge to the fines has so far been unsuccessful, but has now reached the third legal level.
Ogoh, the weekly newspaper of the Tashkent branch of the Interior Ministry, reported on 29 February of moves by the State Customs Committee "to prevent the import of materials promoting religious extremism, separatism, fundamentalism as well as shamelessness". It reported that Tashkent city customs directorate's staff at the country's main international post office intercepted a parcel of 13 religious magazines, the Herald of Salvation, sent to a local citizen M. Sanafeyeva from Australia. "The Religious Affairs Committee under the Cabinet of Ministers said that the magazines contained missionary reports and it is not appropriate to bring them into the country," the paper reported.
Uzbekistan has long maintained strict censorship of all religious literature published in the country and imported into it. Customs officials have told Forum 18 that they open all parcels and send religious books to the Religious Affairs Committee for them to decide whether to allow them in or not (see F18News 24 October 2007 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1039).
Like much of the recent coverage of religious issues in the state-run media, the Ogoh article and the Kashkadarya regional newspaper article and television broadcast on the Baptists leave ordinary people with the strong impression that religion is dangerous and must be controlled. Uzbekistan has witnessed a resurgent media campaign smearing religious communities. Government-supported media, such as the websites Press.uz.info and Gorizont.uz, have published a series of articles attacking and casting doubt on various religious communities.
Ironically, the state-sponsored media attacks on local religious communities coincided with a report from the Foreign Ministry's Jahon news agency on 31 March, condemning the Dutch film Fitna which, it said, "insults the religious feelings of Muslims". "Such hasty and irresponsible attacks undermine the fundamental principles of peaceful co-existence, run counter to the universally adopted norms of international law, morals and ethics, and cannot be justified by any motives and persuasions," the agency added.

UZBEKISTAN: Eight years' imprisonment for "illegal" religious activity?
Following a harsh crackdown on Jehovah's Witnesses in Samarkand in February - which saw raids, beatings and a sexual assault - criminal charges have now been launched against 34-year-old Olim Turaev, Jehovah's Witnesses told Forum 18 News Service. He has been accused of organising an "illegal" religious community (the Samarkand Jehovah's Witnesses have no legal status) and "illegal" religious education. He faces up to eight years' imprisonment if convicted. Prosecutors refused to discuss the case with Forum 18. Eleven other Jehovah's Witnesses were fined, one of whom, Akmaral Rahmanberdiyeva, spent 12 days in custody. Meanwhile, two imams of a mosque in Namangan have been sacked for "illegally" teaching religion to teenagers. Other imams were warned over the same "offence" and the regional head of the Muslim Board was sacked.
UZBEKISTAN: Physical assaults by police on Jehovah's Witnesses
Uzbek police have threatened and physically assaulted members of the Jehovah's Witness religious minority, following raids on homes in Samarkand, Forum 18 News Service has learnt. In once case, a young female Jehovah's Witness was taken to a police station, stripped and touched inappropriately by an apparently drunk police officer, Akmal Tilyavov. Asked by Forum 18 why he needed to question her alone and search her, he responded: "I cannot give you any information on that since we are a closed organisation." Asked directly whether he had touched her inappropriately, Tilyavov's tone of voice changed in apparent embarrassment. He refused to answer directly. "Why don't you talk to the Chief of the Division," he eventually said. Jehovah's Witnesses complain that no warrants were provided to justify the raids, nor was legal protocol adhered to. Various personal belongings disappeared from the homes searched. The raids were a week after a Jehovah's Witness student was expelled from a Samarkand school.
UZBEKISTAN: Punishments and church closure
Uzbekistan continues to attack peaceful religious activity, Forum 18 News Service has learnt. A Baptist in the eastern city of Fergana, Eduard Kim, was fined the equivalent of nine months average wages, after a raid by ten state officials on his house where about 40 local Baptists were meeting for Sunday morning worship. A Pentecostal pastor near the capital Tashkent, Kamal Musakhanov, has been fined over two months average wages for "violating the rules on teaching religious doctrines." His congregation is affiliated to a registered Pentecostal church. Jehovah's Witnesses in the central city of Samarkand were raided and some of their members were severely assaulted by police. And Grace Presbyterian Church in Tashkent has been forced to halt all its activities. Asked why the church was stripped of legal status and property, an official told Forum 18 that "they violated the laws on religious propaganda and not everything was in order with the auction whereby they had purchased their building."


I recently bought more Maybelline products and I realized that I had enough to do a full makeup look. Some products I love and some I'm very "eh" about. I don't have a powder or blush from Maybelline though. I don't like powdering anymore and I rarely wear blush.
Maybelline is usually my go-to brand for mascaras, but I've started to really love their foundations. The two I've tried makes my skin look so nice and they're also very easy to use in a rush in the mornings.
The look I have above is a very no-makeup makeup look. I have a wash of color on my lids and color was also added into my face with a plummy mauve lipstick.
I'm going to talk about the products I used for the look above, but I'm also going to touch on some other products I have tried from Maybelline.
Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser is a primer that is supposed to help lessen the appearance of pores. I find that you have to be very careful in using this sometimes because having too much can make the face feel slippery. It helps foundation slide on, but the slip can stay and then make the foundation slide off.
Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation in #240 Natural Beige (review here) gives me such a nice finish on my skin. I like a more natural / satin finish. My skin is more on the dry side and so I like the added moisture from this foundation too.
Volum' Express The Rocket Waterproof Mascara in Very Black (review here) gives me defined lashes but also volume. It lasts all day and keeps my curl. I've repurchased this mascara multiple times and I also have a backup too. It's one of my favorite mascaras to use and it's a great "base" for other mascaras that don't hold my curl.
Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze is a product I don't love from Maybelline. After the first month or so, I saw the product pulling from the edges and drying up. It's a very shimmery taupey bronze color and makes everything on top super shimmery too. I'm still going to use it since it is a quick color to put all over the lids, but I much prefer other cream eye shadows.
Color Sensational Matte Lipstick in #660 Touch of Spice is a recent addition to my collection and I'm still testing it out. It is completely matte and so creamy. I had another lipstick from Maybelline that you can read about here and I hated it. The color was so patchy and made my lips so dry. Touch of Spice is a plummy mauve color that works great as a MLBB for me.
Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara in Dark Brown is the other recent addition and I quite like it. It adds hold and a natural tint to my brows. I've been using other brow products that give me darker and defined brows, but I wanted to take a step back. This is exactly what i wanted right now. It doesn't seem to do much in the pictures above, but there is a difference because my brows look so naturally groomed after using it.
Keep reading to see other Maybelline products I've tried !
Baby Lips in Cherry Me is a bright red tinted lip balm and it was an "eh" product. It didn't have enough moisture for me, but it did add a nice light tint of color on my lips. I would keep it in my bag to liven up my lips, but after my lip reaction, I just threw it away and didn't even think about repurchasing it.
Falsies Black Drama Waterproof Mascara in Black Drama has a scoop wand and it's supposed to make applying mascara on easier, but it didn't give me enough volume like some of their other mascaras.
Volum' Express The Falsies Big Eyes Waterproof Mascara in Very Black (review here) was more work than needed. I liked the bottom lash wand because it applied the mascara on so nicely without smearing, but the top lash wand didn't apply enough mascara for me.
Fit Me! Shine-Free Stick Foundation in #220 Natural Beige (review here) is one of my favorite foundations because it's so easy to use / apply and also looks nice on the skin. It does cling onto some dry patches and has a more matte finish. It doesn't give me a completely matte finish right now since the summer heat has been making my face sweat so much.
Lash Stiletto Voluptuous Waterproof Mascara in Very Black (review here) is a mascara I remember liking, but I've used other mascaras now that this one was just forgotten. It did give me defined and lengthened lashes, but the L'oreal Telescopic Extensions Waterproof Mascara overshadows the Lash Stiletto Mascara by so much that I'm not going to buy this one anymore.
Expert Wear Eyeshadow Single in Pink Wink (review here) is a duochrome pink eyeshadow with gold shimmer. I really wanted to love this, but there was fall out and it's chunky so I don't like using it. I need to use a sticky base with it to like how it looks too.
Instant Rewind Eraser Dark Circles in #130 Medium (review here) is a great under eye concealer, but not a good enough color match for me. I ended up getting another shade that was more yellow, but it was too light. I would mix it in with Medium, but I usually don't wear concealer because I'm lazy so mixing shades just for concealer. It is really good for those who want to just use concealer though.
This was an unexpectedly long post. I didn't realize how many Maybelline products that I've tried. They have some great products, but it seems like the more hyped products are the ones I don't like. I'm such a fan of some of their mascaras and now their foundations. After looking back at some of the products I've tried, I'm more excited about this brand.
What are your favorite Maybelline products?
I personally have loved lots of their mascaras! The foundation versions sold here tend to be not long wearing and have very few shades so I don't think too highly of them. I love their lipsticks and their mascaras most...otherwise I also love their lipbalms and a few of their color tattoos!
Maybelline keeps bringing out such good mascaras! I think they recently had a long wearing foundation released, but I have only seen it in UK blogs. I want to see what other foundations they have, but drugstore foundations are harder for me to color match.
This is such a good idea to focus on one brand! :D The expert wear eyeshadow has such a pretty color...too bad it didn't work out.
I was inspired by Essiebutton's and Emilynoel83/ Beauty Broadcast's videos and blog posts with one brands and since I had enough products to do it for Maybelline, I decided to do it too!
and I wish the eye shadow could've been better, but it is so pretty.
Thank you! You're so sweet! I don't think I'm that established though, but I'll check out your blog!
Love the concept of this, since I rarely see one brand looks anymore! (Well, Estee and Emily have the $$$ to buy enough products to do a one brand look, so there's that) That mousse foundation is such a blast from the past, and I remember wanting to try it out even though I heard it wasn't great for oily/combo skin.
I've had my Bad to the Bronze for at least a year now, and it hasn't dried up on me yet though.
I definitely do not have the money to do this all the time and so I was surprised that I had enough Maybelline in my collection to do this. It's making me tempted to do more of them, but that's such an investment.
I think I might've had a bad one because all the other bloggers love theirs :( It discouraged me from trying out more for now too.
