I was about to say happy weekend but then realized it will be passed in the next couple of hours. So, Let's keep it for the next week then. I will review Avon Glimmerstick Eyeliner in this post. Glimmerstick range has been quite a popular makeup product from Avon and starting from this April, Avon has introduced some new intense colors in the Glimmerstick range as Boldest black, Purple Punch, Cobalt Cool, Turquoise burst. Out of all, I will review Purple punch. Purple has always been an enticing color to use on the eyelids due to its vibrant hue.
I have liked retractable packaging when it comes to pencil products like lipliners, eyeliners, kohls etc. Avon Glimmerstick comes in a retractable form too which makes it easy to use.
Just twist up and use except for the fact that when eyeliners are made in this sought of twist up lid style, creating a sharp wing at the edge can be a tad difficult. That can be tackled with taking an angled brush and lightly running it over the liner to create a preciser wing. Well, this is what I do, so hopefully this small trick will help you too. Try it the next time.
Despite the blunt end part, I like eyeliners in retractable packging. Moving on.
The color Purple Punch is a vibrant purple with slight blue hues that does take away some of the purpleness from this color and makes it something in between purple and blue. As the name goes glimmerstick, they are not matte but bear silver fine shimmers that add more dimensions to the color, therefore rather than sitting flatly on the eyelids, it just shines through, giving that extra attention your eyes need. Purple punch will show on almost all the skin types, even the duskier ones!
Pigmentation is okay. Swiping just once will not be enough, it will require at least 2-3 swipes to reveal the true color and also the texture due to shimmer isn't that smooth so that way too, multiple swipes will be required so that, the final result is non patchy, even and intense looking color! It takes 15-20 seconds to set and after that I noticed it will get smudgefree and waterproof which are the most important aspects of any eyeliner, since you don't want eyeliner smudging all around and throughout the day!
The eye shots that you see. I have swiped twice or thrice may be. By the way, I will not miss the chance to praise the mascara in the pictures which happens to be from Avon only called Avon Super extreme extend. It is the best mascara I have ever come across that fulfills every required criterion. Read the review Here.
I wore this eyeliner the other day and it stayed through out the day and my day that day was for around 6-7 hours. It was there with slight signs of fading. It will not come off with water as I said but can be easily taken off with a Bi phased makeup remover.
Take: Avon Glimmerstick Eyeliner is a decent product that comes with an okay pigmentation and smudge free formula. You may try it if you like the color or any other color out of the lot. It may lacks in pigmentation that can be taken care of by extra swiping though smudge free formula makes up for that.
PR sample sent by the brand for consideration.

There's never been a better time to get into edibles. Aside from our copious amounts of free time and the government deeming weed "essential," there's the reality that due to the respiratory nature of the coronavirus, it's probably not a good time to be smoking anything right now. It is, however, a great time to get high and snack, so why not do both at the same time?
Despite the perks, edibles tend to occupy a divisive corner of the cannabis world. Not only do brands struggle to comply with soul-shattering legal and political scrutiny like dosing caps, ingredient restrictions and child-proof packaging laws, the edibles themselves don't exactly have the best reputation with novice users.
Deep down, there's a sense of fear that surrounds the use of edibles, spurred by countless Maureen-Dowd-esque horror stories from confused newbies who accidently ingested way too high a dose, and were then locked into navigating an unmanageable high for an uncomfortable amount of hours.
What these people don't know, it seems, is that edibles have come a LONG way from the magic brownie space cakes of yesteryear. In fact, edibles are technically the safest way to control the level of your high, with their extremely clear dosing restrictions and growing focus on microdosed products.
In hopes of clearing the antiquated stigma that's tainted people's perception of a really great way to experience cannabis, here is our guide to everything you should know about buying edibles.
Introduction to edibles
Prior to 2016, Prop 64, and the veritable dismantling of the edibles industry, the edibles market was a very different place. Funky mom and pop brands regularly rolled out fun products like dosed ice creams, 1000 milligram coffee cakes, cannabis lattes and anything else you could possibly concoct. Creativity flowered as these little companies branded their magic products in wild packaging. It was a beautiful time.
Flash forward to now, none of those brands exist. Along with legality came a slew of restrictions on edibles in California, namely a 10 milligram per serving dosage cap, a ban on any products with dairy or that require refrigeration, and packaging laws stringent enough to deflate any marketing team's attempts at artful presentation.
The edibles market today is made up of a handful of brands who managed to weather the storm, and is mitigated mostly to products that fall into the following three categories: chocolates or caramels, baked goods and gummies or hard candy.
What dose works best for you?
Nothing is more important than dosing when it comes to choosing an edible, especially for those nervous about getting too high. To better understand dosing, let's cover the main types of edible doses you'll encounter:
Microdose: 1 milligram — 5 milligrams THC
Microdosing is the key for novice users looking to explore the world of edibles. These products, like Kiva's Petra Mints and Dosies Sublimes, offer 1 milligrams — 5 milligrams of THC per serving, making it virtually impossible to take too much when following instructions.
The most prominent trend in the edibles of today, microdosing is about feeling good, not getting obliterated. They're great for productive work days, family obligations, first dates and anything else where you want to take the edge off yet remain focused. Start with 2.5 milligrams of THC and work your way up SLOWLY, meaning every 2 hours adding to the dose if you feel so inclined. If you're completely new to cannabis, not just edibles, start with 1 milligram of THC.
Medium Dose: 5 milligrams —10 milligrams THC
This level of dosing is great for anyone comfortable with being a bit stoned. Blurring the line between wellness tools and recreational pot products, medium dose edibles like CHILL Chocolates are for getting high enough to feel distinctly, well, high, without feeling like you're out of control. Great for hanging out with friends, going to a concert, hiking, and all those kinds of activities we can't partake in for a while.
Macrodose: Anything above 10 milligrams THC
Stoner psychonauts, assemble! Macrodosing is reserved for people who are extremely familiar with getting high, and extremely familiar with the high of edibles in particular. Under no circumstances should a person new to edibles take a dose over 10 milligrams. If you're not new to edibles, however, Punch Edibles and Madame Munchie are great go-tos for an extra-terrestrial experience.
What makes a good edible?
Now that we've mastered the art of dosing, it's time to talk about what to look for when you're choosing an edible to buy. What makes one edible better than another seemingly similar product? There are two main factors at play here.
The first, and perhaps most important, is the ingredients. Though it's easy to get blinded by persuasive budtenders and cute packaging, always check the ingredients on an edible. If you can't pronounce what's in it, don't put it in you.
The second factor to look at is price point. When it comes to edibles, you get what you pay for. If a product seems unusually affordable, there's a reason it's so cheap. To ensure a fun trip, spring for a quality product. A higher price means better ingredients, better weed and thus, a better high.
How to save money on edibles
The best way to save money on edibles is to make them yourself. While the process may seem daunting, it's actually quite simple, and can be a lot of fun.
While there's a million recipes for cannabutter online, some brands have taken the work out of baking with cannabis with products like Heavenly Sweet's 2000mg THC butter, Madame Munchies 100mg THC peanut butter or chocolate hazelnut spread, and Vireo's infused olive oil.

If you're the DIY type, or just find yourself unusually bored in isolation, there's also machines like the LEVO Oil and MagicalButter that can weedify any carrier (like oil, butter, honey, etc.) with the mere push of a button. These devices are life changing, and sure to open a whole world of weed infused DIY products to spice up your lifestyle.
Where to get your favorite edibles on Weedmaps
Now that you're an edible pro, who's thoroughly convinced that edibles aren't scary, here's a rundown of some of our favorite edibles available right now on Weedmaps.
Chill Chocolates
Chill Chocolates make you feel just that: chill. Each 100mg bar, with flavors like spicy dark chocolate and caramel, come in at 10 milligrams for a medium dose, and a range of THC to CBD ratios suitable for any occasion.
Available: California
Heavenly Sweet
Heavenly Sweet makes a ton of edibles, all offering a fun experience in the form a 100 milligram bar at 10 milligrams per serving. While their Squookies, and Fruity Treats are tasty, their savory selection offers a break from all the sugar. We're especially fond of the Ranch Crackers.
La familia: Product of Los Angeles
California's first Mexican brand of edibles, La Familia, has a beautiful line of sweets that play on cultural favorites like horchata and hot chocolate with Fresas Con Crema chocolate bars, Churro Krispies and Abuelita Hot Chocolate Cookies (all 100 milligrams).
Madame Munchie
Madame Munchie is a woman and LGBTQ owned-and-operated brand inspired by owner Kim Geraghty's experience growing up (partly) in France. Her handcrafted macarons and other French delights are borne from a focus on high quality ingredients and the top shelf flower they grow at Geraghty's Mendocino Farm.
Punch Edibles
Boy oh boy, do Punch Edibles live up to their name. Each tiny, 100 milligram chocolate bar or fruit snack will surely knock you out before it'll fill you up. The 90 milligram Sour Hybrid Fruit Snacks are particularly delicious, and even more effective.

REVIEW: The Secret Service #1 | KABOOOOOM!
Mark Millar is a love him or hate him kind of writer. With his bombastic style and seemingly unabashed self promotion (part schtick? part plucky self-deprecation? It's tough to tell), one gets the sense that Mark Millar may also be a love him or hate him kind of guy overall.
Whatever the case may be, Mark Millar is one of THE BIGGEST NAMES IN THE COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY. If you don't believe me, just flip to the last page of The Secret Service, the new mega-miniseries from Millar and legendary Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons, where a full-page ad featuring a tastefully Photoshopped composite of v-neck sporting Millar and his platinum-level artist buddies declares just that.
Normally, anyone proclaiming to be the biggest and best of anything sends me off in the opposite direction. Here's the thing about the grandiosely posturing Millar, however, and why I can't hate the guy—For all his self indulgence, he ultimately pulls it off and delivers comics that can't be called anything less than entertaining. You may have to wade through some jarring tirades or made-for-TV asides, but at the core there is always something fresh waiting for the reader.
Before we get into the nitty gritty of The Secret Service, a public service announcement for all the kids out there in the wastes of the Great Recession, emptying piggy banks and counting nickels to get their comic fix. The announcement is simple: When you see the name "Dave Gibbons" on the cover, you buy the comic. Maybe it means you eat ramen for lunch and dinner this week, maybe it means you buy six Avengers books this week instead of the usual seven– Whatever it is you gotta do, when the names "Dave" and "Gibbons" are together on the cover, you do it. End of announcement.
Now like most things surrounding Mark Millar, there is a lot of Mark Millar to be found in The Secret Service.The first eight pages of the issue, to this humble reviewer, came off as a shining example of why some write Millar books off sight unseen. The intro is meant to be a slam-bang, intriguing action thing, and it is on the surface, but there is just something so damn cheeky about the proceedings that's hard to shake. As the borderline-wacky opening pages hum along, they leave a slight aftertaste of pompousness in the reader's mouth. When I reached the end of the intro beat, I heard the voice of Dana Carvey's Church Lady chime in with "Well, isn't that special." Sure, the beginning of the issue is full of fanboy chum. It is likely to get chuckles out of the Thor t-shirt wearing set, and I'll be damned if the sequence wouldn't probably look good on film. That said, this is a comic book, not storyboards for the inevitable Hollywood adaptation, and the overly cinematic intro takes away from the very strong, very comic book-y story that follows.
Once we get past the intro beat, The Secret Service really comes alive. This is the good, nay great, talent of Mark Millar. The story here fuses strands from the current zeitgeist of the post-9/11, age of austerity Western world. It's a story about class, society, families, a lost generation, and the seeming decline of once great powers. Millar's characters feel real, feel now, and spout dialogue peppered with mentions of budget cuts, terror threats, state social benefits, which collectively gel into a really interesting comic book take on the new broken future we've all found ourselves living in. It is a shame, however, that these brilliantly written (not too sappy, not too preachy) observations and reflections are simultaneously tainted by more of Millar's pop-culture dredging. A conversation between two high-ranking U.K. officials meanders from fighting terrorists while dealing with a 30% slash in operating budgets to how J.J. Abrams handled the Star Trek reboot. Some may read that as covering all the bases of the modern would, others may see it as diminishing the very important topics raised just a few panels before. In either case, credit has to be given to Millar for tackling topics, both large and small, that are too rarely touched upon in the comic medium.
Propelling Millar's script along is the gorgeous art of Dave Gibbons. The living legend gives us what he does best—fully rendered worlds that look like our own, but skewed just enough to feel like anything could happen. Secret Service is a phenomenal looking book, from the Golden Age style cover straight through to the last page. Gibbons' work especially shines when showing readers the bleak public housing blocks of South London, and the claustrophobic lives of those who live within.
This is likely some kind of comic book sacrilege, but I wouldn't be doing my due diligence if I didn't mention that as fantastic as the art is, there are surprisingly a few places where it simply doesn't work. As with Millar's writing, I had issue with the opening pages of the book. In these pages, a character who talks about the Star Wars prequels as being "the JFK assassination" of his generation appears, to my eyes, as a man seemingly in late middle age. The result shows a bit of a disconnect between Millar's words and Gibbons drawing. Thankfully, that's the only rough spot—The rest of Secret Service is a joy to look at, and leaves you wanting more.


The focus of your treatment is not only on addressing an isolated complaint, but engendering vitality in your whole being. This is the perspective of integrative-or holistic-medicine that arose naturally out of Chinese Classical Medicine and philosophy. Five Element Acupuncture is a unique and treasured tradition within Chinese Medicine.
Five Element Acupuncture views your body as a microcosm of the natural world. Using the movement of the elements in nature, we can see how nature is moving in health and disease within you. Each element – Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal- has a specific and essential energetic movement, and each is crucial to vibrant health. Each element has a set of correspondences, for example: an associated color, which can be seen in a patient's complexion, a sound, which can be heard in the voice, and a corresponding emotion, (i.e. grief, fear, anger, etc.), an organ system, and a physiological function.
These signs from your body, as well as other phenomena gathered from Chinese pulse-taking, palpation, and tongue diagnosis provide a picture of your health that is inherently grounded in phenomena. This medicine is inherently practical and grounded in signs from your own body-in what is showing up in front of us right now.
When the movement of one of these elements is "stuck" or complaining, this element shows up as "out of balance" (i.e., constant digestive upset, or upper respiratory issues.) This is the body's way of providing us with signals to make a change. Acupuncture fosters the appropriate movement of qi, and heightens our awareness of these signals, making us better managers of our own wellness.
Five Element is also called Five Phases, because all are interdependent throughout life. However, there are often one or two elements that stand out as a patient's dominant constitution, an element that, with treatment, will have the greatest positive effect on their wellness. Elemental diagnosis is unique to 5 Element Acupuncture. By treating a person based on their constitution, the greatest movement and healing can be achieved, allowing the individual to move through the seasons of life with greater ease and freedom.

ln (x+2) – ln 3x = ln 5
ln (x+2) – ln 3x = ln 5 We know that : ln a – ln b = ln a/b ==> ln (x+2)- ln 3x = ln (x+2)/3x = ln 5 ==> (x+2)/3x = 5 Now cross multiply: ==> x+2 = 15x ==> 13x = 2 ==> x = 2/13

Labour Cllrs rally with young people to protect youth services.
Derbyshire's young people have been hit hard by the Tories. Thousands of young people in Derbyshire cannot find a job and see no hope for the future, and the Tory Government are only making this worse.
Derbyshire Labour listened to what young people said. We fought hard to stop the Derbyshire Tories shutting 29 Youth Centres and making 157 Youth Workers redundant. If elected this May, Derbyshire Labour will listen and stick up for Derbyshire's young people against the Tory government. We want a fair deal for Derbyshire's young people.


The Finder Compass Mod 1.14 gives a little more skill to your standard Minecraft compass. It also includes additional needles to help you find strengths, diamonds, mafia players or any other mineral.
In Finder Compass Mod there are three ways to establish the compass: adventures, bright stones and working minerals, each capable of finding different things. You can even change the settings whenever you want by clicking anywhere with the compass.
The adventurous mode will help you find fortresses and emeralds, the Stones sparkling mode will find diamonds and red stones, and the worker's mined materials will find things like iron, coal and gold.
Then, when you are near the items in question, simply observe your compass and begin to point to where you should go. The compass will color-code the needles to which they point to make it easier to decipher what you are looking for.
With Finder Compass Mod it is incredibly useful to reduce the amount of time it takes to find useful things such as iron, coal and especially diamonds. Now you do not need to specifically mine a mine looking for those precious resources.
The new update of Finder Compass Mod will allow you to find both diamonds and dungeons quickly and efficiently. Finder Compass Mod also informs you by its compass, if you are near or far from a diamond vein, it will even indicate the area where you can find them horizontally.
For this reason, you should keep looking for both above and below the position that is indicated to you. However, for dungeons, the compass provides you with indications in short periods of 15 seconds, even allowing you to scan more terrains than normal, both above and below you.
With Finder Compass Mod when you detect a dungeon, the green needle of the compass will point immediately to the position where it is, once you are at the indicated point, the arrow will point behind or in front of you, to indicate if you must raise or lower .
For Windows computers, you must open> Run from the start menu and type% appdata% \. Minecraft \ and then click Run again to start the installer.
For Mac, you must open Finder, hold down the ALT key and click> Go next Library in the top menu bar.

Tesla Model S gets its first yoke steering wheel replacement, but there are caveats
The new Tesla Model S is getting its first third-party yoke steering wheel replacement, but there are caveats – starting with the price.
When Tesla unveiled the new Model S with the "yoke" butterfly steering wheel, it was controversial. Some were worried about the actual shape of the wheel being problematic, while others were concerned about the lack of drive stalk to choose the drive mode.
As for the former, we thought that the automaker wouldn't risk bringing the controversial yoke steering wheel to market without a nonlinear steering curve enabled by a steer-by-wire system – especially knowing that Tesla has been developing a steer-by-wire system.
However, as Tesla started deliveries of the new Model S Plaid last year, we were surprised to see that the wheel had a normal 14.0:1 steering ratio, and it is proving to be impractical at lower speeds.
CEO Elon Musk later confirmed that Tesla is indeed working on progressive steering, but it's still years away.
In the meantime, Musk confirmed that Tesla doesn't plan to offer a regular steering wheel as an option with or without stalks.
This is creating an aftermarket for yoke steering wheel replacements.
We previously reported on a Model S Plaid owner successfully performing his own replacement using a Model 3 steering wheel, but he didn't have a plan to offer the product.
Now we see the first company offering a yoke replacement as a product.
Tsportline is a longtime Tesla tuner and accessory maker, and it is now offering Tesla yoke steering wheel replacements:
The company is working off of a regular yoke wheel and adding "the finest 3M metal structure and baltic birch plywood" to create the new shape.
Now, this obviously only "fixes" one of the major complaints about the steering wheel – its shape – and not the lack of stalk.
It still uses force touch buttons to replace the functions of the stalks, including the turn signals.
It has some other caveats, like the lack of airbags and the loss of a heated steering wheel if you choose the cold weather package.
Finally, there's also the price. Starting at $2,299, it's far from cheap.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments section below.

If nothing changes, 80 per cent of the world's fisheries will be in serious trouble by 2030.
The world's oceans have the potential to be significantly more plentiful, even with climate change, if sustainable fisheries management practices are put in place.
A new study published in the journal Science Advances, shows that if the world meets the Paris Climate Accord, by ensuring global temperatures don't rise above 2 degrees Celsius, there will be 25 billion additional servings of seafood and 217 million more metric tonnes of fish in the sea, or nearly a third more fish than exist today.
However, fisheries management that addresses climate change and its effect on the productivity of species and geographical range distribution will need to be implemented.
"If we can adopt sustainable fishing policies and keep global warming at no more than two degrees Celsius, we can realise significant benefits to fisheries across the globe. But these benefits require action. Governments must change the way fishing takes place or risk losing a crucial opportunity to secure food supply," said study author Merrick Burden.
Researchers examined potential future outcomes for 915 fish stocks across the world. They modelled the impact of climate change on fishery productivity and geographical range distribution, which affects how many fish are available and where they can be caught, under four climate projections, ranging from a global temperature rise of 1 degree Celsius (strong climate mitigation) to a rise of 4 degrees Celsius by 2100 (business as usual).
For each scenario, researchers examined future biomass, harvest and profit using different fisheries management approaches.
Roughly half of species examined will shift across national boundaries and nearly all will experience changes in productivity in response to rising ocean temperatures.
However, if fisheries management practices are implemented to mitigate effects of climate change on productivity and geographic range distribution, there will be gains in biomass, harvests and profits. The practices include multilateral fishery agreements and responsible harvest policies that account for changing stock productivity.
Nevertheless, future fisheries profits will decline in developing countries even with management that fully adapts to climate challenges.
"Even with the right management changes, there will be winners and losers. Success will require not only emissions reductions, but also multilateral cooperation and real changes in fisheries management. With growing global population and the increasing needs for healthy sources of protein, these changes will be critical," said Steve Gaines, the study's lead author.
Many people rely on fish for protein, and 845 million people face serious malnutrition worldwide, partly due to poorly managed fisheries.
If nothing changes, 80 per cent of the world's fisheries will be in serious trouble by 2030. Most fishing nations are not responding fast enough to create change and successful transboundary management programmes are relatively rare.
Action doesn't take long to have an impact on some species. Studies have demonstrated that many fisheries can bounce back from overfishing in as little as 10 years' time under the right policies.
"Climate change is expected to hit hardest in many of the places where fisheries are already poorly managed – things are likely to get a lot worse if we don't act," said Christopher Costello, an author of the paper.


Oil pulling therapy is a traditional Ayurvedic remedy that helps heal a number of ailments ranging from toothache to heart disease. It is particularly useful for getting rid of dental problems and maintaining adequate oral hygiene.
Simply put, oil pulling is an inexpensive and harmless process that involves swishing a vegetable oil in your mouth for 15-20 minutes. The therapy should be followed in the morning, on an empty stomach.
You need to use a whole tablespoon of oil for this purpose. Swishing a lot of oil in the mouth, however, tends to be quite uncomfortable for some. Thus, people often reduce the amount to a single teaspoon.
It is usually recommended to use organic, unrefined, cold-pressed oils for oil pulling. Sunflower oil and sesame oil are highly recommended in this regard. You can use coconut oil or olive oil, too.
Besides, you may also add a few drop of an antibacterial essential oil in the vegetable oil you use for oil pulling. Scientifically, it is believed that the effects of oil pulling are mainly attributed to the mechanical cleaning action due to swishing, rather than the type of oil used.
After oil pulling, the oil that you are supposed to spit out should have become thinner, and turned milky and foamy. After spitting out the oil, you can rinse your mouth with pure water (may use warm salt water as well) and then, brush your teeth with natural toothpaste.
It is believed that this simple process removes germs and bacteria from the mouth. In fact, oil pulling combats bad breath, relieves toothache, reduces inflammation, whitens your teeth, heals sensitivity, treats dry mouth, removes yellow/white coating from tongue, cures cracked lips, eliminates bleeding gums, fixes loose teeth, and prevents and heals cavities.
Gum disease or periodontitis has been linked with increased risk of miscarriages in pregnant women. Plus, there is a bidirectional association between diabetes and periodontal disease. Therefore, it is essential to maintain proper oral health.
Moreover, oil pulling can clear up congestion and unclog sinuses. It is also considered good for dealing with menstrual irregularities, PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome), and menopausal disorders.
Oil pulling helps remove toxins from the body by detoxifying the deep tissues. It improves the functioning of heart, kidney, lungs, lymphatic system, endocrine system, nervous system, and the immune system.
In addition, it benefits your health by increasing your energy levels, stimulating metabolism, and clearing the mind. It is good for eliminating beauty problems such as acne, age spots, and helps you maintain clear skin.
People have also reported better sleep, decreased allergies, improved vision, and even reduced sugar cravings after practicing oil pulling for months.
On the downside, this therapy does seem unpleasant and strange in the beginning. Having your mouth filled with oil can even make you feel nauseous. However, keep in mind that you need not swish the oil vigorously in your mouth.
Plus, this unorthodox Indian folk remedy is not going to give you immediate results. You will have to try it for a long time. So, you can expect to see positive results after regularly following the oil pulling therapy for at least a month. Acute conditions, nevertheless, may improve within a few days.
Oil pulling should be done first thing in the morning. If you do it after eating something, you may experience nausea.
It can be done up to three times in a day (before breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
Anyone aged five years or more can practice this therapy. Children aged 5-15 can use one teaspoon instead of one tablespoon of oil.
Edible, cold-pressed oils should be used.
It is best to follow this therapy before brushing your teeth.
If the oil does not become watery in spite of swishing, it indicates inadequate salivation. To avoid this, drink a few glasses of water about 30-45 minutes before oil pulling.
Do not swallow or gargle the oil. After swishing the oil in your mouth, you may want to spit it out in the trash can rather than your sink.
Although this therapy is not well documented scientifically, yet it is a natural and harmless procedure.
Oil pulling is referred to as Kavala Gandoosha or Kavala Graha in the Ayurvedic text, Charaka Samhita.
This sounds like something I will try out. Are there anyone that has already done this and if so, what are some of their feedback?

IISc will not be ranked this year either. The THE rankings needs undergraduates who have graduated from the institution. This will happen only in 2015 and THE uses citation data based on the prior two years. Therefore, IISc will be ranked only from 2017.
yielding a rank of 226-250 for IISc. Four IITs (Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur and Roorkee) rank between 351-400.
seriously nobody cares. let iisc/iits start giving back something to the indian society, instead of just stealing tax-payers money.

Keeping the slot tech in the loop
Marian Green
For a long time, slot machines were fairly straightforward mechanical devices to keep up and running.
Even with the advent of video slots, bill validators and ticket printers, slot technicians could keep up with the changes that come with new technology.
But looming on the horizon is server-based gaming, and the transition to network-based gaming doesn't promise to be a cake walk.
As traditional slots make way for machines with LCD flat screens and digital signage features, linked to a server in a back room, slot technicians fear they will be left in the dust like an outdated S-plus game.
And while server-based gaming is still very much a work in progress, today's technology on the slot floor already is more complex than ever, and there is much to learn.
If ever there was a time when the slot gaming industry needed a talented, educated work force, this is it. The transition to server-based gaming is likely to be a challenging one, one that will require individuals to be well-grounded in both slots and IT.
"There is definitely going to be an IT challenge in the gaming industry. It's going to require a lot more sophisticated staffing than what we have today," one slot executive told me.
The gaming industry appears to be moving to address the issue, at least in Nevada.
Earlier this year, the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) donated $100,000 to the College of Southern Nevada's School of Applied and Advanced Technologies. It was the final installment of a $300,000 gift from AGEM in support of the school's slot-technician degree program.
Slot manufacturer WMS Gaming offers its own online slot education program, Slot Machine University, which last year received accreditation from the International Association for Continuing Education and Training. Slot Manager University is an interactive, online training and certification program for working slot professionals with course topics covering the gamut from basic slot functionality appropriate for beginning technicians to advanced networking skills required for the future server-based gaming environment.
Both AGEM and WMS deserve kudos for their efforts. But even more must be done to ensure today's slot techs have opportunities to find their place in the future server-based gaming world.
Acquisition bolsters IGT's sb position, analysts say
Gaming analysts are bullish on IGT's announcement in June that it is buying Cyberview Technology for $76 million in cash.
Analysts said they believe the acquisition, expected to close this fall, gives IGT additional valuable IP in the server-based gaming space as well as an additional foothold in the United Kingdom, where Cyberview has an established fixed odds betting terminal business, and in Europe, where the company distributes slot machines.
Analysts also have speculated that a purchase of Cyberview, which also has deal to share content or technology with WMS Industries, could move IGT and WMS one step closer to becoming a joined entity.

There's a rough and dark beauty to these stories of supernatural monsters interacting with the living, and this art team finds the different flavors and tones to the stories to bring them to vivid, pulsing life," says Wright.
How would you handle being haunted? A lonely lighthouse keeper learns she's living right above a ghost pirate protecting cursed treasure. At first they struggle to figure out who will give up the territory first, but they quickly learn that they have a lot in common, including some enemies determined to destroy them both.
Monstrous is the longest running series at Source Point Press, but readers don't need to start at the beginning to enjoy each volume.
"Monstrous: Heartbreak and Blood Loss is a perfect jumping-on point for readers because it offers a nice selection of what Monstrous has to offer. We have cursed buried treasure, steampunk robot blaster battles, vampire violence, and more action than you can shake a wooden stake at!" says Wright.
Heartbreak and Blood Loss has something for Monstrous fans new and old, including appearances from brand new characters alongside fan favorites like Hans, the human brain put into a steam-powered robot body by Dr. Frankenstein.
"The classic feel of Gothic horror infused with steampunk flavor is still there, as is the humor and a cast of strange and unusual characters. But this volume is a little more focused on how romance can sometimes do more damage than the most menacing of monsters. There's something for everybody in here, and I can't wait to hear what folks think of this new batch of Monstrous stories!" says Wright.
Monstrous: Heartbreak and Blood Loss releases Wednesday, May 26. Source Point Press is a division of Ox Eye Media, publishing books, comics, and graphic novels.

This rare and elusive bird is a hard one to track down, at certain time of the year they can be seeing in high mountain clearings in the Wet Tropics of north Queensland, where this one was photographed.
This bird is perched in the midstorey of a high elevation cloud forest, no doubt enjoying the sun in this cool environment. The bird blends in surprisingly well for such a brighly coloured creature!
This juvenile is yet to develop its crest and deeper colouration that comes with adulthood, but it does possess the iconic large feet.
One of Darwin's most colourful inhabitants, this Pitta is foraging for invertebrate prey in the leaf litter of a local monsoon forest.


Our good friends gave us two large boxes of oranges a few weeks ago! So I've been having fun experimenting with dessert recipes that have orange in them! Oranges are not only one of my favorite fruits, but the scent of orange is equally appealing! One of my favorite perfumes has orange blossom in it! Anyhu, back to the recipe! I took the Fresh Lemon-Blueberry Yogurt Cake and switched it up for this Beauty!
It worked beautifully! Not to mention the fact that my whole house had the scent of orange and vanilla flowing through it! LOVE!
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-10 inch bundt pan. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix in the orange zest and set aside. With an electric or stand mixer, cream your butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add your vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the orange juice and mix well. Alternate beating in the flour mixture with the yogurt a little at a time, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and into the oven for 60 minutes. It should be golden. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes and then turn out on a cooling rack. Whisk the powdered sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice and milk together until smooth. Pour the glaze over the warm cake. Cover until ready to serve.
this looks so good! and i love the bundt pan that you used.
Killer bundt pan! Love it.
This looks too pretty to eat.
Quick - someone invite me to a party so I can make this!!
Oh my deliciousness! Beautiful, I want some.
Absolutely delicious! I used shortening because I (surprisingly) ran out of butter and it was still soooooo delicious. I'm trying it gluten-free today, hopefully that works out. Absolutely delicious and moist cake.

Help Save the Scratching Pad, the Cat Adoption Home Funded Through Social Media
By Phillip Mlynar
, July 16, 2014
Steven Liu lives in an apartment in Brooklyn that is filled with cats and kittens, all of whom are up for adoption. He calls it the Scratching Pad. At least, that was the plan — but now the endeavor is in danger of closing because of landlord issues. A crowd-funding attempt to raise $6,000 has been instigated.
I first met Steven when he was the only local adoption home who would offer to help me rescue a kitten stuck on the roof of a building near to my old apartment. (I call it the JiJi Bear saga.) It turns out he's also had his human paws in missions to help rehome the fabled New York City Subway Kittens, and one of his Scratching Pad graduates has appeared on the Super Bowl halftime kitten fest.
When I interviewed Steven about the Scratching Pad for Catster earlier this year, he explained how he was attempting to run the venture through social media. The goal was to find a new way to present cats up for adoption by tapping into the social media world we are all connected to. (He admitted that the precise details about this were a work in progress, which good-naturedly brought to my mind the description of Kramerica Industries in Seinfeld as being a messy apartment that may or may not have a chicken running around in it.)
Now the Scratching Pad is teetering on the brink of closure — which means new homes would need to be found for the current residents like Barb, a dignified-looking orange and white cat who acts as something of the mother hen of the roost.
"I found Barb limping a few blocks away and she came up to me with a sad look and started purring," says Steven. "I ended up picking her up and taking her home. Ever since she's been the best babysitter to new kittens."
Since opening, the Scratching Pad has also become something of a kitten incubator. As Steven explains, "My new roommate brought in Oprah, a full-sized Maine Coon cat and her son Oliver. Since moving in, Oprah has been trying to run the place while Oliver is on a mission to play-fight with every cat in the house."
You can check out a near-endless stream of kitten and cat pics over at the Scratching Pad's Instagram outpost — and don't forget to donate via the GoFundMe page. Do it for the kittens!

Use of Bell recommended oils ensures efficient performance and optimum protection of the engine. However, the use of low sulphur fuels with recommended oil provides maximum benefit. Sulphur in diesel forms sulphuric acid that play a major role in increasing engine wear.
On the other hand, low sulphur diesel forms less sulphuric acid when combusted which leads to lower engine wear rates, reduced harmful exhaust emissions, improved combustion properties and longer engine life. Sulphur in diesel leads to the formation of sulphate particulates. In the engine oil, these cause depletion of additives and reduced oil life.
Confidence in superior performance is assured by fit for purpose design.

New Tours in the Spring!
History of Massachusetts' Enslaved
History of Slavery in Massachusetts
In an effort to build more historically inclusive tours, I've been busy researching much of the often intentionally-avoided history of slavery in the state. I want to share with you what I've found.
Click around (on the yellow text) to discover more.
I'll be continuing to update this as I learn more.
First record of enslaved Natives in New England.
Capt. William Pierce, in the Salem ship Desire, set sail with 17 captured Native Americans to sell into slavery in the West Indies.
Gov John Winthrop's Journal, pg 279
First record of enslaved Africans in New England.
Seven months later, Capt. Pierce returned from Providence to Boston with "cotton, tobacco and negroes etc".
Puritan Justification
Providence, West Indies
Maverick's "breed"
Colonial Justification
Start of the African Trade
"The year 1644 was a momentous date in the history of the New England slave trade. Before that time, Massachusetts merchants had occasionally brought in Negroes from the West Indies, but in that year Boston traders attempted to import slaves directly from Africa, when an association of businessmen sent three ships there for gold dust and Negroes."
Lorenzo Johnson Greene
Boston traders participate in an illegal African raid.
"...slaves to do all our business."
The Royal African Company is granted a monopoly on the slave trade.
Read the original
Madagascans
"there is not a house in Boston..."
The Royal African Company loses their monopoly on the slave trade.
As the Century Turns
"Although New England's share in the slave trade was small in the seventeenth century, her merchants had by 1700 laid the foundations of a lucrative commerce. They had already begun the triangular slave voyages and had learned that the West Indies offered the best market for Negroes. As comparatively few Negroes were brought to New England in the seventeenth century, the traders in these colonies made their profits as carriers rather than as exploiters of Negro labor."
The first anti-slavery argument is published.
The Slave Marketplace
Human 'Horsepower'
Britain orders its Colony of Massachusetts to not tax or discourage the importing or exporting of enslaved Africans.
Read the original proclamation
Profits over Humanity
Slave Trading Lawmakers and Influencers
Plantation Owner
"There grew up a privileged class of slave-trading merchants whose wealth was drawn largely from the Negro traffic. They enjoyed the highest social position and held public offices of the greatest trust and responsibility."
The Negro in Colonial New England, Greene.
Liberty and Freedom for All?
Revolutionary talk was heard by enslaved Africans who used the same language to legally petition for their own freedom multiple times:
The Petition of a Great Number of Blacks of detained in a state of slavery in the Bowels of a free and Christian Country apprehend they have in common with all other men...
"...a natural right to be free..." June 1773
"...a natural right to our freedoms..." May 25 1774
"...a Natural and Unaliable Right to that freedom..." Jan 13, 1777
"drafted by the legislature" (without public comment)
legalized slavery
barred FREE blacks from voting
no list, or declaration of individual rights
The public rejected it.
Mass. Constitution v.1
For round 2, Massachusetts selects John Adams to write their Constitution. He finishes in 2 months:
His version has a Declaration of Rights.
(this is a game changer)
Elizabeth Freeman
Elizabeth Freeman was born 'Mumbet', an enslaved woman owned by Col. John Ashley in this house in Sheffield, MA.
With help from a local lawyer, she sued for her freedom using the Declaration of Rights from the new Massachusetts Constitution.
She won.
Shortly after changed her name to Elizabeth Freeman.
Ashley House Historic Site, The Berkshires
"Any time, any time while I was a slave, if one minute's freedom had been offered to me, and I had been told I must die at the end of that minute, I would have taken it - just to stand one minute on God's earth a free woman -I would."
There's always more. Coming soon.

Q: Time Slot not working if time exceeds the slot size I have two tables. One that has the slot info and the other that saves the slot that is selected.

Rule

Booking table

now The code I am using is
 declare  @RuleId int,@starttime varchar(50),@endtime varchar(50),@r int,@interval int
 SELECT
 @RuleId=Rules.Rule_Serno,
   @starttime = Rules.from_dt
 , @endtime   = Rules.to_dt
 ,@r=Rules.room,
  @interval  = Service.Service_Duration
  FROM         Service INNER JOIN
                       Rules ON Service.Service_Serno = Rules.Service_Id where Service.Service_Serno=@ServiceId
 --SELECT * INTO #tmp FROM d;

  declare @slots int

  select @slots = datediff(minute, @starttime, @endtime)/@interval

  SELECT TOP (@slots) N=IDENTITY(INT, 1, 1)
  INTO #Numbers
  FROM master.dbo.syscolumns a CROSS JOIN master.dbo.syscolumns  b;

  select
      dateadd(minute,((n-1)*@interval),@starttime) as start,
      dateadd(minute,(n*@interval),@starttime) as todate
  into
      #slots
  from
      #numbers

 SELECT  @room as RoomId,@Dt as 'Date',LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR,s.start, 108), 10)  as Start,LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR,s.todate, 108), 10) as 'End', case when b.start IS null then '-' else 'xx' end as Status
 FROM         [#slots] AS s left JOIN
                       booking AS b ON s.start = b.start AND s.todate = b.todate and b.Dt=@Dt  and b.Service_Id=@ServiceId and b.Room_Id=@room

  drop table #numbers,  #slots

The issue is the code only works if the slots are precisely the minutes described in the table .. For example if the slot is for 60 minutes ex:if I book that and if I book manually 7:00 to 7:30 it still shows the 7:00-8:00 slot empty. I need to show anything between the slot also reserved if it is manually done beside the reserved slot.

Tyson Chandler visits Dallas after being spurned twice
Paul Coro
The Arizona Republic
SAN ANTONIO – Amid the July 8 social media-fest of emojis when the Los Angeles Clippers had DeAndre Jordan quarantined from the Dallas Mavericks, Tyson Chandler had the most appropriate of them all.
Chandler, the center Dallas had let go – again – to pursue Jordan, posted a simple hand peace sign and a sun. A week earlier, Chandler had made his peace with the situation by finding a sunny landing spot in Phoenix with a four-year, $52 million deal.
Wednesday, Chandler returns to the city where he helped the Mavericks to a 2011 championship and wanted to set roots – twice. Dallas let him go in 2011 in the name of financial flexibility, only to come to regret it and bring him back in 2014. A year later, Dallas set him free again.
"I definitely felt like, after winning a championship and help bring it there, that I was going to be there for the long run," Chandler said Tuesday. "I never heard of a championship team being broken up like that. When they traded for me to come back, I sat at the podium with everybody else and heard them say this was going to be a long-term deal and they weren't going to make the same mistake as last time and blah-blah-blah. Seven months later, the same thing happens again. But I learned in this business that you can't trust everybody. That's why it is what it is."
Phoenix Suns eager for Bledsoe-Knight chemistry
When Chandler was reintroduced in Dallas last year, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said, "Let's just say I learn from my mistakes." Cuban recently told ESPN's Dallas radio affiliate that Chandler has a right to feel "salty" because he suggested Chandler would be there for a long time.
That changed when Jordan became available, although Cuban also said in the radio interview that Dallas approached Chandler about an extension last year and that Chandler's camp gave Dallas an ultimatum when the Suns came after him.
"I saw the bull---- they put out," Chandler said. "It's just bull----. Just saving face. It was what it was. It was clear. The whole process was going on while I was basically still in the jersey."
When Chandler left Dallas in 2011, the Mavericks offered him a one-year to deal to stay when the Knicks were offering a four-year, $56 million contract. The Mavericks were concerned about an aging roster and wanted to continue pursuing high-profile free agents.
Last season, Chandler averaged 10.3 points and 11.5 rebounds while shooting 66.6 percent from the field over 75 games.
But when free agency came around, it appeared he was being kept to the side while Dallas checked if it could get Jordan.
"I'm pretty high in this league, so that ain't my position," Chandler said.
Chandler quickly committed to the Suns while the saga dragged on until Jordan changed his mind to return to the Clippers. Chandler quickly addresses the reunion by revisiting Dallas Wednesday and seeing his old team again in the regular season opener at Talking Stick Resort Arena in a week.
"To be honest, I don't know what my emotions are going to be like going in there until I get there," Chandler said. "I feel like the whole situation was all bad – twice."
Phoenix Suns aim to curb fouls, stay aggressive defensively
Suns down Spurs
The Suns were using Tuesday night's game at San Antonio as possibly the closest thing to a real look that they will have in the preseason.
And it looked real good as Phoenix beat the Spurs 104-84.
Markieff Morris made all three of his 3-point tries in a game for the second time this preseason. The Suns started a likely regular-season opener lineup of Morris, Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight, P.J. Tucker and Chandler. Bledsoe, playing for the first time since the preseason opener, posted 13 points, eight rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes.
It also was the first time he and Knight could work on backcourt chemistry since the opener. Knight added 10 points and seven assists but also had five turnovers.
Suns storm Spurs with speed, depth in preseason win
Sonny Weems, locking down the backup shooting guard spot, had a 12-point, two-assist first half in going against his former coach, Spurs assistant and former CSKA Moscow coach Ettore Messina. In another position battle at backup power forward, Jon Leuer played well in the second and third quarters, but Mirza Teletovic finished strong with three second-half 3-pointers.
T.J. Warren came off the bench for 15 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 31 minutes

Mavericks update: Coming off a 50-win, seventh-seed season, Dallas lost Monta Ellis and Tyson Chandler before DeAndre Jordan backed out of a free-agency commitment. The Mavericks' biggest free agency signing was Wesley Matthews, but he is coming off an Achilles' injury. Dallas replaced Ellis and Chandler with veterans Deron Williams and Zaza Pachulia. Dirk Nowitzki will enter the season with a chance to pass Shaquille O'Neal for the No. 6 spot on the NBA all-time scoring list.
