Even a natural look requires a bit of work, but our tutorial will make it easy for you
Every year beauty trends come in that inspire us, and this year the “no makeup, makeup” look has truly challenged us to learn to blend like never before. At first, I must admit I was not the biggest fan of this look, because the technique was so different. It became less about color pop, and more about creating a blended hue. The face went from being a canvas for the artist to a true focal point.
Of course, the most engaging portion of any facial structure would have to be the eyes. The eyes have always been regarded as the “windows to the soul,” and the beautiful part is that it’s an opportunity to have people experience a gorgeously pigmented beauty look. This look is going to help you really open your eyes. It is great for those of you who have tons of eye space like Mia, as well as those of you who may have more limited eyelid space.
Because this eye look is so smooth, the trick is more in the liner application than anything. You will see in this step by step makeup tutorial that overall it is an easy process to create this gorgeous eye. From social media to the interview room, you can rock this beautiful natural glam eye with confidence.
What You Will Need:
Real Techniques Concealer Brush
Morphe M510 – Pro Round Blender
Morphe M330 – Blending Crease
Sigma F06 – Powder Sweep Products
Jamye Shaw Cosmetics Illumin-Eyes #1
Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy Highlighter
Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Palette
La Femme Sparkle Dust #14 Champagne Gold
Step One: Prime & Seal
One of the most important pieces of creating this look is definitely creating a smooth finish on the eyelid before youbegin. You will want to use your Real Techniques Expert Concealer brush to begin. The great thing about this brush is that it spreads any type of concealer or product very easily. If you do not have this brush, you will want a brush that has a medium flexibility of the bristles so that it will allow you to truly build a smooth base.
Grab your Jamye Shaw Illumin-Eyes #1 and cover the entire eye. Use a circular buffing stroke to apply the product with your brush. Don’t forget to cover the tear duct area, as well as really getting the product up into the brow area. After you buff the product in, be sure to give it a triple check to ensure that everything is covered and well blended.
Step Two: Set the Stage
My secret weapon with this eye look is combining the gorgeous gold tones of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy Highlighter with the base color from the Soft Glam palette Tempera. This combination will really elevate the look from the very beginning. The product combination allows a truly smooth controlled color to be your base. You can see in the photos that Mia’s eye looks seamless and well blended from the very beginning with this color combination.
That is so important for the finish of the eye. If the base combination is not well applied it will look patchy at the end. Take your Morphe M510 brush and swirl it around in both colors, first in Tempera from the Soft Glam Palette and next in the Amrezy highlighter. Use short sweeping motions to apply the product as you build the coverage. Seamless coverage is extremely necessary for the initial part of this look.

The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has an interview with Marvelous studio’s Honey∞Parade Games lead and Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takachi.
During the interview, Takaki mentioned that other than Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura, the studio has another title for Switch in development that makes use of the system’s functionalities. This other title will be a packaged release, unlike Shinobi Refle, which is an digital-only release, and will also make use of Switch’s HD rumble functionality.
Additionally, Honey∞Parade Games is working on two PlayStation 4 titles. The first title may be able to be released this season. The second title is relatively big and is planned for the next term.
Other than those, several small things and mid-scale titles are also moving forward, which Takaki says should all be present next term. There’s a traditional smartphone title, and about two new and existing TV anime he’s working on. Takaki wants to announce all of his upcoming titles collectively around the summer, and is currently in preparation.
Thanks, Hachima Kikou.

Recently our neighbours across the ditch have been having a few issues at their theme parks.
But surprisingly to us and the rest of the world, there are yet to be any critical injuries at one of our most infamous attractions.
The luge - aka carnage on wheels - is one of the greatest adrenaline sports in New Zealand.
Each year more than 1 million visitors travel to the tracks to test their mettle.
They channel their favourite Mario Kart character, intent on pushing their little cart as hard as it can handle as they reach speeds of over 35km/h.
The track distances are over a kilometre long, but to the riders it feels longer as they hurtle down the steep trails, only inches away from the tarmac.
And for some unlucky riders, they're only inches away from disaster.
In 2016, ACC received 452 luge injury claims, and paid out $225,829.
But despite the risk of life-threatening injuries, risk-takers continue to come - providing even more footage for future best-of clips.


Voltage divider rule is a simple rule used to solve circuits to simplify the solution in this article, volatge devision rule with examples and applications. Voltage divider definition: a device consisting of a resistor or series of resistors connected across a source of | meaning, pronunciation, translations and examples. Introduction a voltage divider is a simple circuit which turns a large voltage into a smaller one using just two series resistors and an input voltage, we can create an output voltage that is a fraction of the input voltage dividers are one of the most fundamental circuits in electronics if learning ohm's law was like being. Voltage divider definition, a resistor or series of resistors connected to a voltage source and used to provide voltages that are fractions of that of the source see more. Since this is not feasible with commercial devices, two ppm-class high voltage dividers were developed, following the concept of the standard divider for dc voltages of up to 100kv of the physikalisch-technische bundesanstalt (ptb) in order to reach such high accuracies different effects have to be. Voltage dividers are commonly used circuits that split an applied overall voltage into a smaller desired voltage level figure 1 shows a simple voltage divider using fixed resistors to illustrate its functionality for this illustration, we assume that the resistors are connected in series, and all current flowing out of the 5v voltage.

Good evening and welcome to the NCWLIFE Evening News. I’m Grant Olson. Before we get to today’s top news stories, let’s take a quick look outside our weather window:
And now, a few of the stories we’re following for you tonight, A group of teenagers face charges in connection with a drinking party on Burch Mountain Saturday night. A kayaker was rescued yesterday afternoon after he fell out of his boat and became stranded on a sandbar on the Wenatchee River, and, Seven people were injured Saturday afternoon when a motorhome collided head-on with a vehicle about a half-mile south of Carlton.
But first, we begin tonight. . .
A 4 year old boy escaped serious injuries in a weekend cougar attack at a popular Leavenworth park. The attack happened around 9:00 p.m. Saturday at Enchantment Park. The boy was treated for minor injuries. Captain Mike Jewel of the Washington Fish and Wildlife Department Police said it was not the first encounter that day between people and the cougar at the park. . .
Captain Jewell said killing the cougar was unfortunate but necessary.
A group of teenagers face charges in connection with a drinking party on Burch Mountain Saturday night. Jason Reinfeld with the Chelan County Sheriff’s office says deputies made contact with about 25 young adults between 17 and 19 years of age who were partying near the top of the hill. . .
Law enforcement is amping up its emphasis patrols to control teen graduation parties as part of the “Everybody Walks” campaign.
A kayaker was rescued yesterday afternoon after he fell out of his boat and became stranded on a sandbar on the Wenatchee River. Chelan County Sheriff Office spokesman, Jason Reinfeld says the man became separated from his 10 year old son who was in a separate kayak. . .
Reinfeld says there were no injuries and that both kayakers were wearing life vests.
Seven people were injured Saturday afternoon when a motorhome collided head-on with a vehicle on Highway 153, about a half-mile south of Carlton. ]
Three of the seven injured were taken to the hospital and the others treated at the scene. None of the injuries were critical. Emergency responders also had to deal with a propane leak from the motorhome.
Multiple agencies responded to the accident, which happened about 2:30 Saturday afternoon.
Coming up next, An 8-year-old boy suffered a broken back after the vehicle he was riding in went over an embankment and rolled near Quincy early Sunday. A Moses Lake man who has made a habit of trying to elude police, tried again Friday night but his luck once again ran out, and, Firefighters made quick work of a small brush fire off highway 2 neart Cashmere this morning. I’m Grant Olson and you’re watching the NCWLIFE Evening News.
Welcome back, and in other news…
An 8-year-old boy suffered a broken back after the vehicle he was riding in went over an embankment and rolled near Quincy early Sunday. According to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office the driver of the F-150 pickup is suspected of being drunk.
36-year old Bernabe DeLeon-Garza was driving the pickup east on Road 7 Northwest at about 12:20 a.m. when he failed to stop at a stop sign. The vehicle then went through the intersection, over an embankment and slammed into the bottom of an irrigation canal and rolled on its top, the sheriff’s office said.
Three children were in the back seat, at least one of whom was not restrained. The 8-year-old boy was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he underwent surgery. The two other children, a female passanger and DeLeon Garza were treated at the scene. The sheriff’s office said charges are pending against DeLeon-Garza.
A Moses Lake man who has made a habit of trying to elude police, tried again Friday night but his luck once again ran out.
The latest incident actually started earlier Friday when 38-year-old Robert Gwinn, riding a motorcycle, was chased into Moses Lake by Grant County Sheriff’s deputies. But deputies ended the pursuit out of concern for the safety of residents. However, deputies were later able to locate Gwinn in the Cascade Valley area of Moses Lake, where he again led them on a chase.
This time, Gwinn crashed the motorcycle and tried to flee on foot in the area of Stanley Drive Northeast and Lee Drive Northeast before being caught. Gwinn already has a warrant out for his arrest related to a previous pursuit. And in September he was sentenced to six months in jail after violating a protective order and leading police on yet another long chase.
Firefighters made quick work of a small brush fire this morning about a mile west of Cashmere on Highway 2. The fire, spurred on by 20 mph winds, was called in around 10:00 and fire crews were on the scene shortly after. At one point, the blaze did get dangerously close to trees located at a residence nearby but firefighters were able to soak the vegetation and nearby ground to prevent it from spreading. The fire briefly closed the westbound lane. No word yet on how that fire started.

And that is a look at your local weather forecast, coming up next, tonight’s sports report with Eric Granstrom and more as the NCWLIFE Evening News continues right after this.
Earlier this season, it was the Mariners putting up crooked numbers while leading the American League West. These days, they are giving up crooked numbers and remain last in the division. Such was the case again Sunday at T-Mobile Park as the Angels scored 7 in the 2nd and 5 in the 5th to win 13-to-3…
Albert Pujols did much of the damage himself, driving in 5-runs, including a 3-run home run in the 2nd. David Fletcher and Mike Trout also delivered 3-hits apiece as the Halos had 15-hits for the game.
Seattle starter Marco Gonzales had another rough outing, surrendering 10-runs on 9-hits in 4-and-two-thirds with three walks and two strikeouts.
Los Angeles scored 7-runs in the 2nd inning and another 5-runs in the 5th. It’s the 6th time in the Mariner’s last 12-losses that Seattle has surrendered big innings to an opposing team. Something Manager Scott Servais is not happy about…
Seattle has not announced who will start in front of LeBlanc for tonight’s first opener against Houston.
The Mariners finished May 7-and-21 and are now oh-and-2 in June. Servais said it’s frustrating to lose, but even more troublesome to see his club play bad baseball…
After losing 3-of-4 to the Angels, Seattle will try to snap the losing trend against one of the best teams in baseball tonight, the Houston Astros. First pitch is at 7:10.
On the Les Schwab American League West Scoreboard…
Adrian Sampson won his 4th straight as he struck out 11 to lead Texas past Kansas City 5-1.
Houston scored 2-runs in the top of the 12th to beat Oakland 6-4. The win concluded a 3-game, weekend series sweep of the A’s by the Astros.
Houston and Minnesota lead the American League with 40-wins on the season. The Dodgers are tops in baseball with 41-wins so far.
The University of Washington softball team survived two-elimination games Saturday but lost a heartbreaker to UCLA Sunday at the College Women’s World Series…
After beating Minnesota Saturday morning 5-3, the Huskies topped Oklahoma State 1-nothing to advance to Sunday.
Yesterday’s game was scoreless through 7, then 8, then 9 and into the 10th inning. That is until Rachel Garcia unloaded a walk-off, 3-run home run to put the Bruins in the Championship game. No. 2 seed UCLA will face No. 1 seed Oklahoma in the first of the best-of-three series tonight.
The Wenatchee Valley Skyhawks snapped a 4-game losing streak with a 42-34 win over Tri-Cities Sunday…
The two teams will meet again this Saturday at the Town Toyota Center at 7 o’clock.
The Wenatchee AppleSox begin its 20th season of summer collegiate baseball tonight…
Wenatchee will host the Cascade Collegiate Showcase team tonight at 6:35 at Paul Thomas, Sr. Field. According to Joel Norman, voice of the AppleSox, 24 of 37 signed players are in town for tonight’s opener. You can hear Joel and the AppleSox games on Sunny FM around North Central Washington.
After tonight’s game, the ‘Sox will begin West Coast League play with Victoria in town for the first of three games tomorrow night. Our own Eric Granstrom will throw out the ceremonial first pitch tomorrow night and will also join Joel in the booth to call a few innings on radio.
The first AppleSox game on NCWLIFE will be two Saturday’s from now, when they’ll host Walla Walla.
Finally tonight, a heads up for those of you traveling over US 97 Blewett Pass, be prepared for up to 30 minute delays this week.
Work will continue on the Boundary Bridge fish barrier removal project near Swauk Creek campground located 5 miles south of the summit. There will be single-lane flagger-controlled traffic through the area. Additionally, crews will be removing hazardous trees between mileposts 168-178 which will include full closures of up to 30 minutes at a time. Both of these projects will be active throughout the week. Motorists are advised to add extra time for trips through the area.
And that’s going to do it for our newscast tonight. For more on these stories and other news from around North Central Washington, you can find us on Facebook or our website at ncwlife.com. And, remember, if you see news happening we’d like to hear from you. You can send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.org, or give us a call 888-NCWL (6295). Also, keep it right here on the NCWLIFE Channel tomorrow morning for Wake Up Wenatchee Valley with host Dan Kuntz. I’m Grant Olson, thanks for joining us and have a great night.


REPORT: Geithner Leaving Treasury At End Of January
From The Daily Bail January 3, 2013 - 3:56pm
Jack Lew is the leading candidate to replace Geithner.
Jan. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner plans to leave the administration at the end of January, even if President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans haven’t reached an agreement to raise the debt ceiling, according to two people familiar with the matter.
After giving in to Obama’s previous entreaties to stay as long as needed, Geithner has indicated to White House officials and Wall Street executives that he is unlikely to change his departure plans this time, increasing pressure on the president to name his successor at Treasury, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss the private talks.
Geithner, 51, is the only remaining member of Obama’s original economic team and was a key figure in the taxpayer- funded bailouts during the 2008 financial crisis. He’s also had a p...

Parents push back on American colleges promoting DEI initiatives: ‘DEI is dangerous’
Some are now standing up to the DEI agenda — here’s how parents can handle hot-potato political issues with college-bound kids
(Fox) Some universities across America are requiring compliance from faculty in the form of signed diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) statements, as conditions for tenure or promotion — arguing that DEI across college campuses is a top priority.
However, there may be growing pushback in some areas from faculty as well as from parents — who claim that the DEI agenda actually challenges the diversity of viewpoints and opinions of students within the college environment.
Some say it also promotes a culture of fear and intimidation…Read The Rest

Tunisian police fire tear gas against protesters
Issued on: Modified:
Tunisian police fired tear gas at protesters on the streets of the capital, Tunis, on Monday morning, as people threw stones outside the prime minister's office. The clashes come exactly one week after a new Tunisian government was formed , following resident Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali's flight to Saudi Arabia.
Those protesting in front of the prime minister's office came from all over rural Tunisia, and camped out in front of the building last night in defiance of the curfew.
While schools were scheduled to open on Monday, some remained closed after teachers went on strike in solidarity with the UGTT.
Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannouchi, who has been in power since 1999, is part of the newly formed government and has refused to step down until after elections are called.

In the wake of President Barack Obama’s sweeping effort to address gun violence, Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) is re-introducing a bill instructing the National Academy of Sciences to study the impact of violent content on children.
Rockefeller applauded Obama’s initiatives, and added, “I think everyone can agree that the impact of violent content on our kids’ wellbeing is an important issue, and I’m glad this new plan will take a close look at it. I am working hard in the Senate to make sure this type of research – which I have strongly backed throughout my career – is available to inform our work on gun violence. Next week, I plan to reintroduce my bill to have the National Academy of Sciences study the link between violent content and children’s behavior.”
From Rockefeller, here are the elements he will include in his bill:
* The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) would be directed to conduct a comprehensive study and investigation of the connection between violent video games and violent video programming and harmful effects on children.
* Specifically, NAS would examine whether violent video games/programming cause kids to act aggressively or otherwise hurt their wellbeing, and whether that effect is distinguishable from other types of media. It also would look at the direct and long-lasting impact of violent content on a child’s well-being.
* With respect to violent video games, NAS must look at whether current or emerging aspects of games, like their interactive nature and the personal and vivid way violence is portrayed, have a unique impact on kids.
* NAS must submit a report on its investigation to Congress as well as to the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission.
RBR-TVBR observation: Study away – we’re all for it. Please, however, be mindful of the challenges of such a study. The fact is, most of us have seen the content in question all of our lives and it has not made us violent people.
Even if it is found that there is a meaningful link between violent content and violent people, there is the chicken-egg thing – does violent content create violent people, or are already-violent people drawn to the content?
Study it – but do not let it become a substitute for studying what we believe to be far more direct topics – gun issues and mental health issues.

The cruise ship sailed on the sea. Alexander Smith could see his future house, the house that he would spend a decade in. He also saw the lovely beach and all the happy children. Alex knew he would like long beach. After he smelt the lovely, fresh air, Alex heard the stomping of footsteps on the deck. They had arrived. Two men appeared on the entrance to the cabin and knocked on the door.
“Sir, we have landed. You may wish to depart” said the first man.
Alex sighed. He had spent 6 nights in his cosy cabin. It had 2 rows of lights and a luxury en-suite. The bedroom contained a wardrobe and a large, modern lamp. Then there was the silk-white duvet, even looking at it made you feel so warm and enlightened. It felt so nice in the cabin that it was very hard to leave. “Sir, Are you ready?” said the first man again.
Alex muttered a curse before he opened the door. “I’m ready” he replied.
Both men lead him to the front deck. “Here is the port; we hope you had a nice trip”.
Alex stared at them for a few minutes before nodding and continuing his journey down the steps. At last, he arrived at long beach. It was nothing quite like Southampton. The sun shined brightly and the beautiful tides splashed on the beach. Alex suddenly had the urge to go straight to his new house. All the suitcases were pushed into a small bag rack then were sorted out into the alphabet. As Alex strolled to the set of bag racks on letter S, he accidentally bumped into a very old man.
“Could you spare any change?” he asked pleadingly.
Alex knew about some beggars there. They were beaten up and put in prison. Because he took pity on the man, Alex gave the man a few bucks he exchanged in the cash machine. Strangely, the man also offered him something as well. It wasn’t solid, but a sign. “The last five letters are q-u-i-s-t.” He answered with an agonizing cough. Alex was puzzled by the comment. What was the message? What was so special about quist? The beggar stared at Alex for a while before he said “Aren’t you going to section S now?”
As Alex walked towards section S, he looked back and the beggar vanished. For some reason, he kept thinking about the man. Something was odd about him. The beggar had a large, grey beard with a straw sombrero. His clothing style also seemed to be around the early 1900s. While Alex thought about it, he tripped on a bright red bag. In front of him stood another man dressed in a light blue shirt and a golden badge, “May I help you with your luggage?”
Alex stared at the man puzzlingly until he realized. “Oh yeah” He replied.
“As a level 10 passenger, the highest level, I am authorized to take care of you until you are satisfied” The man observed him quietly. Alex still looked at him as silently as he could. The man sighed. “I will be your security guard”
“So… do I have to pay you?” Alex said in shock.
The man laughed “Nah, your parents are already paying me to look after you.”
Alex stood up. His security guard had thick green eyes, blond, curly hair and looked quite young. He might be in his mid 20’s.
Suddenly, the man laughed, “My apologies, I haven’t introduced himself. My name is Ethan, Ethan Jackson.” He swung his small bag of silver coins. “So, we better get to your house.” Ethan shouted as he beckoned Alex to follow him. While following Ethan, Alex spotted his own house.
“Is that mine?” he asked.
“Yea let me give you a tour. But first, here’s the key. You can do the honours of opening your own house.”
A while later, all his luggage was in the house. Alex made his way to his computer and turned it on.
>Computer, search for the nearest school – He typed.
“Identification error?” asked Alex. Ethan looked at the computer confusingly.
>Computer, Explain identification error.
Alex, bewildered by the error, tried to take it away. Unfortunately, he couldn’t erase it.
>ERROR ERROR Hacker detected Virus imminent
“Hacker?” Alex asked.
>Computer, follow where the hacker is transmitting the virus.
>Computer, go to lockdown mode.
“Ethan!” Alex shouted.
“What?” Ethan responded.
Alex suddenly knew what it was. “If we erase the numbers and add quist in-“
“Quist? What’s that got to do with quist?” Ethan said.
“Be quiet. Now, if we do that, we get the word ventriloquist.” Alex exclaimed.
“Wait, is it talking about the legend?” Ethan added.
Alex looked at him puzzlingly. He never knew about a legend which includes the word ventriloquist. Nor would he ever know if he never came here.
Ethan shook his head sadly. His face surprisingly seemed older. “What’s the legend?” Alex curiously asked, even if he knew it wouldn’t help him.
Ethan quickly went into a rage. “Why do you care Alex?!?” He cried “This Damn freakin’ horseplay is going to drive us nuts!”
“I think we already are.”
“Shut up!!!” Ethan bellowed.
“Well, I wouldn’t ask this bloody question if you would tell me the crappy legend!” Alex knew he shouldn’t have said it but he burst the words out.
”Oh crud!”Ethan said as he stormed out of the room. As he stomped out, he shouted. Alex felt something he hadn’t felt in years, guilt. “Ethan, oh shoot” he sighed. He stood there quietly. After a while, he heard a hint of blissful anger. “Ethan, I’m sorry. I knew how you felt about it.” Alex softly said as he opened the door to the storage room.
“It’s OK Alex, It’s just. It happened before.” Ethan said. Alex cocked his head. “The legend?”
“Yes, It happened once before, in 1999” Ethan grunted as Alex helped him up. “When I was fifteen, I was in a party. You know, the normal dancing, drinking. Just then, I heard a crack in the TV, it got hacked. Then, I saw it.”
Alex looked at him pleadingly. “Who, who?”Alex said. Ethan whispered “Him.”

Vent-Axia is delighted to welcome the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Healthy Homes and Buildings’ White Paper Building our Future: Laying the Foundations for Healthy Homes and Buildings.
Published on 24 October, the White Paper makes clear recommendations to the Government on how it can improve standards in housing to benefit occupants’ health and wellbeing.
This follows on from the APPG’s green paper published last year which set out the political, economic and business case for healthy homes and buildings.
Contained are details of how, as a nation, healthy homes and buildings can and should be delivered, which fall under three overarching recommendations.
Within these recommendations to help overcome the problem of unhealthy homes, the White Paper calls for better and consistent building standards and regulations.
It also calls for both New Build building design and building renovations to consider health and wellbeing and take a holistic approach to consider elements such as ventilation, air quality, lighting and acoustics.
Jenny Smith, Marketing Manager at Vent-Axia (pictured), commented: “Ventilation is often overlooked when implementing energy efficiency measures in homes. This can have a detrimental effect on indoor air quality.
“Without good ventilation in a home air quality can potentially deteriorate and as a result can lead to condensation, mould and a build-up of toxic chemicals.
“We are therefore delighted that the White Paper calls for a national renovation strategy that takes a holistic approach to building renovation and that it recommends improved standards and regulations, which will improve installer best practice.”
A whopping 65% of UK homes suffer from poor indoor air quality (IAQ), due to inadequate ventilation.
This is having a significant detrimental impact on the health of people in their homes, with poor IAQ contributing towards many serious health problems such as asthma, lung cancer, strokes and cardiovascular disease.
The White Paper cites poor IAQ is reported to cost the UK more than 204,000 healthy life years, with 45% of those lost to cardiovascular diseases, 23% to asthma and allergy and 15% to lung cancer.
The Royal College of Physicians warned in 2016 that indoor air pollutants cause at a minimum, thousands of deaths per year and are associated with healthcare costs in the order of ‘tens of millions of pounds’.
The publication of the White Paper comes soon after DEFRA’s new Clean Air Strategy consultation, published on 22 May, which confirmed the importance of clean air in the home.
This draft strategy outlines the Government’s ambitions to lower air pollution, making our air healthier to breathe, protecting nature and boosting the economy, with the draft setting a clear direction for future air quality policies and goals.
The consultation closed in August and the final UK Clean Air Strategy and detailed National Air Pollution Control Programme is to be published by March next year.
To help protect health in the home, Vent-Axia has been working hard to provide ventilation solutions to improve IAQ for households.
Designed to work with the natural air infiltration, continuous ventilation systems control the air path through the home, preventing the migration of damaging humidity and pollutants, such as VOCs.
For new builds, Vent-Axia’s Sentinel Kinetic mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system boasts an impressive 94% thermal efficiency. For private refurbishments, Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon Svara offers quiet, disturbance-free running helping ensure good indoor air quality and comfort.
Meanwhile, the Lo-Carbon Revive and the new PoziDry ProTM PIV unit has been designed specifically with social housing in mind offering an effective continuous ventilation solution for residents.

I’m coveting all sorts of goodness from all over the internet today. Could somebody just go ahead and start making me all the pretty things from all the pretty tutorials? I know you’re supposed to do it yourself, but I keep finding myself far too busy… Anywho – this week’s roundup is dedicated to my dear friend Eleftheria because I miss her adorable face!
She keeps blowing my mind with these things.
I know this is supposed to be for the littles, but I really want one!
This is beautiful – and totally puts mine to shame.
I’m intrigued. Not sure what I think, but definitely intrigued…
What a fun twist on the old standard.
These are a little crazy, but I love them all the more for it.
I freakin’ love these to celebrate little milestones!
I want every day to be this bright and airy.
How fun – constructing these, rather than deconstructing them.
I’m pretty much in love with this whole ensemble.
This is a nice melding of utility and beauty.
I’ve got the top secret formula. And a coupon.
Don’t mind if I do, thanks!

text: Pollinators are experiencing declines globally, negatively affecting the reproduction of wild plants and crop production. Well-known drivers of these declines include climatic and nutritional stresses, such as a change of dietary resources due to the degradation of habitat quality. Understanding potential synergies between these two important drivers is needed to improve predictive models of the future effects of climate change on pollinator declines. Here, bumblebee colony bioassays were used to evaluate the interactive effects of heat stress, a reduction of dietary resource quality, and colony size. Using a total of 117 colonies, we applied a fully crossed experiment to test the effect of three dietary quality levels under three levels of heat stress with two colony sizes. Both nutritional and heat stress reduced colony development resulting in a lower investment in offspring production. Small colonies were much more sensitive to heat and nutritional stresses than large ones, possibly because a higher percentage of workers helps maintain social homeostasis. Strikingly, the effects of heat stress were far less pronounced for small colonies fed with suitable diets. Overall, our study suggests that landscape management actions that ensure access to high-quality resources could reduce the impacts of heat stress on bee decline.

A Biography of Note About Jazzman `Duke' Ellington
THE manipulative charm and organizational skill of Edward Kennedy ``Duke'' Ellington made him a highly successful band leader for 50 years. His astonishing productivity - some 2,000 works - made him the most significant jazz composer of his age. ``Beyond Category: The Life and Genius of Duke Ellington'' provides an admiring (though not uncritical) assessment of Ellington's contributions. It draws on the Ellington archives at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, where author John Edward Hasse is curator in the Division of Musical History.
Ellington created an orchestra ``that sounded unlike any other,'' Hasse writes. He ``created his own category. He was in a class beyond ... the other big-band leaders of the 1930s and 1940s, few of whom were composers and orchestrators of much import, and none of whom had his originality.''
His peers, dubbing him ``Duke,'' acknowledged the magnetic charisma of the natural aristocrat. By 1918, he was pianist in a dance band; by 1923 The Washingtonians were playing in a Times Square nightclub; by 1924 Ellington was their leader.
When trumpeter James ``Bubber'' Miley joined in 1923, his pungent growls transformed a fairly ordinary dance band into a fiercely hot jazz combo. Ellington responded immediately to this new, personal ``voice.'' Miley was the first tone color in Ellington's musical palette.
In 1926, Irving Mills became the band's manager. He was an ex-song plugger and music publisher who added his name to everything Duke wrote. In 1927, Ellington opened the Cotton Club in New York City. He remained there until 1931. His band's exotic sound complemented the club's ``jungle'' atmosphere and its heavy radio coverage led to national fame.
The band was required to provide music for production numbers, back up singers, and come up with everything from mood pieces to hot ``stomps'' for the chorus line. It was a crash course in orchestration. The band was the workshop where Ellington and his sidemen, whose musical ideas he routinely incorporated, worked out unorthodox voicings.
For the next 40 years he and his band were on the road: nightclubs and dance halls; Europe in 1933 and 1939, again in the '50s and '60s, plus trips to other continents; and Carnegie Hall in 1943 and later.
Royalties from Ellington's hit songs supported the band when bookings were thin. After creating a sensation at Newport, R.I. in 1956, the festivals, sacred concerts, TV appearances, and recording dates were nonstop. Nothing was ever finished: Ellington revised continuously, and his work grew deeper and more subtle.
From 1939 to 1967, Ellington collaborated with composer-arranger Billy Strayhorn (whose tune ``Take the `A' Train'' became the band's theme). He contributed to everything Ellington wrote - orchestral suites, stage musicals, a ballet, an opera, and film scores. Their styles were so similar that musicologists cannot agree who wrote what.
Today, Ellington's work is slowly finding its way into the conservatory canon. But only the original recordings capture the composer's unprecedented blend of distinctive instrumental ``voices.''

Opioid addiction is a scary reality today, but it’s not your only option for your chronic pain management. Here are 5 alternative medicine options to consider!
Each day, the CDC estimates that about 130 Americans die from using opioid drugs. If you or a loved one use opioids for chronic pain, then you are at risk of developing an addiction and becoming part of this statistic.
Take control of your pain while keeping control over your life. Read on to learn 5 alternative medicine options for treating chronic pain without opioids.
Kratom grows on an evergreen tree in Asia and offers you an alternative to using opioids. This plant medicine attaches to the same receptors in the body to provide similar pain-relieving effects.
Many areas of Southeast Asia have used Kratom as traditional medicine since ancient times for everything from anxiety to pain relief. You can take this herbal supplement as a chewable, a tea, or in tablet form. This page offers more details.
Pain occurs in both the body and mind. So, practicing an art that helps you gain control over both aspects of the self can help you better deal with pain.
The discipline of yoga incorporates meditation, breath control, stretching, and holding poses. On the surface level, it may seem like a gentle exercise.
But anybody who attempts to master the art knows better. Yoga brings your body back into balance both physically and mentally.
If you suffer from skeletal or muscular pain, then many of the gentle yoga poses will help you regain proper alignment and relieve the physical pain. Breathing and meditation help you experience pain differently, as you learn to control your central nervous system and other body processes.
Acupuncture, the ancient Eastern art of strategically placing needles into specific points on the skin, can also serve as an alternative to opioids. This art helps to break up stagnation of chi, or vital energy. It also balances yin and yang or the hot and cold aspects acting on the body.
From a Western perspective, the tiny punctures amp up the body’s healing process. They release chemical messengers and call in cytokines and immune cells to heal specific parts of the body and ease the sensation of pain.
The food you put into your body will make a major impact on your well-being. It can also help with chronic pain control.
You can help the pain by reducing inflammation. Caspian, the spice that makes peppers hot, serves as a great anti-inflammatory and attaches to receptors that reduce the perception of pain in the brain.
Other foods that reduce inflammation in the body include pineapple, ginger, coconut oil, garlic, and swiss chard. If you suffer from nerve pain, nootropic mushrooms, like Lion’s Mane, may help even better than opioid drugs.
Many call laughter the best medicine. Studies prove this true!
When you laugh, your body eases up, releasing muscular tension, and the brain releases endorphins. Endorphins create an opioid-like effect in the body, improving your mood, and actually easing pain. So, watch comedies and joke with your funnies friends to help with chronic pain.
Use Alternative Medicine First
Opioids may help the pain, but they carry great risk. If you suffer from chronic pain relief, first turn to alternative medicine.

Phenylpiracetam is the most potent nootropic in the whole racetam family. It is also known as Phenotropil and is about 60 times stronger than Piracetam (the original racetam and its predecessor). This means that smaller dosages are needed for the cognition enhancing effects (see below).
Finding this supplement may prove to be a bit more difficult than other, more mainstream racetams. It is not as well known as Aniracetam, Oxiracetam or Pramiracetam. While these are available at most online nootropic stores, not all of them sell Phenylpiracetam.
Phenylpiracetam ((RS)-2-(2-OXO-4-phenylpyrrolidin-1-y1) acetamide) has now been around for more than 30 years. It was developed in the Soviet Russia, where it is also known as Phenotropil or Fenotropil. Phenylpiracetam was synthesised from the original Piracetam and therefore shares a very similar chemical structure. The main difference between the two nootropics is the additional phenyl molecule in the Phenylpiracetam’s structure. This additional phenyl group helps to absorb it more quickly.
Phenylpiracetam is a cognition-enhancing agent with neuroprotective effects but also psychostimulatory properties. Phenylpiracetam improves cognitive function demonstrated by enhanced attentional abilities, storage and retrieval of information and improved learning capacity.
Evidence for its neuroprotective properties comes from a number of clinical trials demonstrating the reduced rate of a cognitive decline. Reduced levels of anxiety and depression are also reported following Phenylpiracetam usage.
Despite the above mentioned cognitive and neuroprotective benefits, Phenylpiracetam has only recently started to attract more attention from nootropic fans. It seems that regular nootropic users find Piracetam sufficient, and thus do not feel the need to look for stronger substances.
However, as the nootropic community grew, more experienced users started looking for the best cognition enhancer available. Phenylpiracetam has twice the potency of Pramiracetam, a nootropic that held the strongest racetam title before Phenylpiracetam became available. The popularity and demand for Phenylpiracetam has drastically increased over the past few years.
View Phenylpiracetam Prices >
Effects of Phenylpiracetam:
Phenylpiracetam is widely praised by its users. It is that effective that they starting call it the only ‘Professional Grade Focus Enhancer’.
“Phenylpiracetam is absolutely perfect for those who need to concentrate and motivate themselves to work or study for long periods of time.”
For example, a student revising for an exam or a businessman preparing an important business presentation under a tight deadline.
Not only it boosts the activity of acetylcholine and glutamate, but it also affects the levels of dopamine and noradrenaline. Its unique mechanisms of action result in a mind and body stimulation. Other benefits of Phenylpiracetam include improved memory, higher learning capacity, better mood and increased wakefulness.
Phenylpiracetam has an effect on various physical abilities, such as coordination, reaction time, as well as sensitivity to fatigue and pain. You may have heard the news about a Russian athlete, testing positive for Phenylpiracetam back in the 2006 Winter Olympics. Because of Phenylpiracetam’s psychostimulatory effects it is on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of banned substances as a non-specified stimulant.
The recommended daily dosage is between 200 and 600 mg. Therefore, acute dose of 100-200 mg taken 2-3 times per day is advisable. Because there is a lack of long-term human studies, the recommended dosages should not be exceeded. As it is a very powerful nootropic you should start with lower dosages and observe the effects before taking larger dosages.
Phenylpiracetam, compared to other racetams, seems to work for much longer duration, so single dosage may be sufficient for you. Always give at least 30 minutes for the effects to build up. Thus, timing and dosage of Phenylpiracetam is very much dependent on a person.
Phenylpiracetam is known to increase the acetylcholine activity levels in the brain. One of the consequences of this process (also observed in other racetams), is reduced levels of choline. Choline is essential to a healthy function of the brain. It is also a precursor to acetylcholine. Therefore, in order to prevent headache, which is a result of increased demands of acetylcholine, it is recommended to stack Phenylpiracetam with choline containing compound (e.g. Alpha GPC, DMAE or Choline Bitartrate).
Buying Phenylpiracetam in the UK:
In the past, it was not easy to find and buy Phenylpiracetam online as it had not gained its popularity. However, with a rapid growth in the market there are a number of retailers selling it for a reasonable price. For example, 60 capsules (100 mg per capsule) in the UK cost £44.97. You can also buy Phenylpiracetam in bulk powder, which works out cheaper in comparison to capsules.

Inside Amy Schumer, one of TV's funniest shows, returned last for a fourth season.
Comedy Central has released very few clips from the new episodes, but we expect to see more of Schumer's signature raunch, hilarity, and on-point feminist commentary.
In honour of the new season we've collected 10 moments in which Schumer saw inside our soul. From talk show appearances to her ongoing best friendship with Jennifer Lawrence, it's clear that she just gets us―and, frankly, knows us better than we know ourselves.
WHEN SHE WAS BAD AT SEXTING
Sexting is hard. At best it's, er, sexyish, but at worst it's embarrassing and awkward and super cringey.
Schumer captured the trickiness of sexting in a sketch on Inside Amy Schumer and lived out our greatest fears. In the sketch, a pajama-clad Schumer is eating spaghetti out of a pot with her hands and attempting to figure out how to reply to a guy named Bobby. When he asks, "What are you wearing right now?" Schumer looks down at her cat T-shirt and responds, "My tit."
When he asks what she wants him to do, she texts, "Tell me what all of my remotes do." Yes.
WHEN SHE CALLED OUT THE KARDASHIANS
We have a love/hate relationship with the Kardashians sometimes, even though their style is on point and a Kimoji is never not appropriate.
Schumer hit on one of the major issues with the celeb family during her SNL monologue last year. "We have to be a role model for these little girls because who do they have?" she asked the audience, discussing young women's perceptions of Hollywood. "All they have, literally, is the Kardashians. She doesn't have a Malala poster in her room—trust me. And is that a great message for little girls? A whole family of women that take the faces they were born with as a light suggestion? Is that great? No."
WHEN SHE FAILED AT DIETING
During Schumer's HBO special last year she admitted that she is basically terrible at dieting–just like us! When preparing to shoot Trainwreck, Schumer said she worked with a personal trainer and it was a real challenge. "He had to explain to me, 'No, sometimes people are hungry. That's Hollywood's secret, I found out: They don't put food in their faces.'"
WHEN SHE WAS BFF WITH JENNIFER LAWRENCE
The world let out a collective (and jealous) sigh when we discovered that Schumer had become besties with Jennifer Lawrence.
The friendship started when Lawrence emailed the comedian and said, "I don't know where to get started. I guess I should just say it: I'm in love with you." Within week the pair is writing a movie together, racing around on jet skis and dancing on a piano at a Billy Joel concert.
They even wanted to wear coordinating outfits to the Golden Globes after both were nominated, but sadly it didn't happen. It's okay, ladies, you're wearing matching outfits in our minds when we pretend to be hanging out with you.
WHEN SHE WAS OBSESSED WITH BRADLEY COOPER
We're all a little obsessed with Bradley Cooper, but Schumer has taken her love for the actor to a whole new level.
On SNL, Schumer joked that she thought she was engaged to Cooper, simply because she hung out with him one time at a celebrity event and he talked to her for 30 minutes. "Am I dating Bradley Cooper?" Schumer asked. "I don't know how Hollywood works, but I'm pretty sure that I'm dating Bradley Cooper."
She was so convinced that she announced their engagement during her SNL monologue. "I changed my Facebook status," she confirmed. Yeah, we're engaged to Bradley Cooper too.
WHEN SHE GAVE THE BACHELORETTE ADVICE
Although we don't always like to admit it, we're all sort of obsessed with The Bachelorette.
Schumer has no trouble keeping her love for the show a secret (and has even joked that she'd like to be the Bachelorette). Last May, Schumer was invited to dole out some advice to then-Bachelorette Kaitlyn and her suitors. In the episode, Schumer tried to teach the guys how to be funny and it did not go so well, especially with the jerk of the season, JJ. "JJ's a sweetheart," Schumer told the cameras. "He's just missing charisma and humility and a sense of humor."
WHEN SHE ATE JAKE GYLLENHAAL'S CAKE
If you are drunk and there is cake available you eat it, right? Especially if that cake belongs to Jake Gyllenhaal.
Schumer, our hero, was apparently renting Gyllenhaal's house for a while and discovered a birthday cake in the freezer, which she, of course, promptly ate.
Schumer told Stephen Colbert that although the cake was "very old" and "not edible," she consumed it over the course of her stay there. "I would get drunk and I would eat it," Schumer said, "and I would talk as if he were there and I was at the party that the cake was served at." Yes.
WHEN SHE COULDN'T ACCEPT A COMPLIMENT
Have you ever had someone tell you they love your shoes and been unable to take their words at face value? Yeah, we're not all so amazing at gracefully accepting a compliment, which Schumer parodied on Inside Amy Schumer.
All the women in the sketch refuse to take a compliment, continually replying with "No" and an explanation of why they don't deserve it. "Amy, I love your hat," one of her friends says. "Are you drunk?" Schumer replies. "I look like an Armenian man! People are trying to buy carpets from me." Lesson: Just accept the praise.
WHEN HER ARMS REGISTERED AS LEGS
Last year Schumer appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and discussed how much she differs from other women in Hollywood.
"I don't fit in here, just straight-up body type," Schumer told DeGeneres about possibly ever moving to Los Angeles. "Like in L.A. my arms register as legs. It's like, why's that octopus on Sunset? It's not for me out here."
WHEN SHE COULDN'T FIND THE RIGHT HAIRCUT
In a sketch on Inside Amy Schumer the fictional Schumer gets cast in an animated kids' movie with Jessica Alba and Megan Fox.
Except it turns out she's playing a disgusting, vagina-showing meerkat. "Everybody is so ready to think that they've made it and they're gorgeous," Schumer told Time about the sketch. "I feel like I always think, Oh, maybe I'm really beautiful I just haven't found the right hairstyle.' And so when they're like, 'It's you, Jessica Alba, and Megan Fox,' of course I'd be like, 'Oh yeah! I could see myself running with those two.'"
