Who's up for Korean make-up beauty class? (Part 2)
For homework, Pink had asked us to practice (everyday, if possible) the make-up skills we picked up from the first class. I was apprehensive as it took around 30mins to do the full 'everyday' look. While I tried, I did a condensed version substituting my BB cream + beauty blender with April Skin compact, I did however start using my Kesalan Patharan orange and yellow tube concealers to hide my dark circles, making more of an effort on my brows and following the eye shadow sequence that Pink had taught. Overall this totalled my daily make-up routine to 20mins.
For the 2nd class at Pink Evolution, we were to arrive with basic make-up: BB cream, concealer, nude eyeshadow and filled in brows. Once we arrived we were put to the task of:
1) Finishing our eye makeup: I chose to use a different eye shadow palette composed of light purple, faint gold, copper and mulberry purple shimmer. While the light purple went above, below the brow bone, inner corner to the mid-section of my eyelids, faint gold was spread across the rest of the eyelid and slight below for the "youthful" under eye bag effect. Copper was applied from mid-section to end of the eyelid and to add definition, mulberry shimmer was smudged on the outer edge of the upper and lower eyelid to elongate the eye for a more dramatic touch. Dark ash eyeliner was applied (including the waterline) and extended slightly downwards to create the effect of rounder eyes. Whereas I usually do winged eyeliner, I noticed a difference by drawing the eyeliner downwards for a larger and rounder eye shape. Eyelash curling and mascara was the final step to my eye make-up. (Top left and bottom left images)
2) Base: While I thought my home-applied base was fine, it apparently required a re-do! The coverage (as you can see top left) wasn't sufficient so underlying pigments were still visible. I then reapplied BB cream with a beauty blender for a more even base. For some whose skin started to dry up, causing their make-up to crack a little, organic oil was rubbed in to hydrate and keep the skin moisturised for dewy look. This could be applied even after the base was on. (Top right image)
3) Blush and highlighter: This was the same as the previous class where a pinch of blush and a lot of highlighter was applied between the brows and slightly higher, top of cheekbones, bridge of nose and chin. Brown contour shadow was added on the jawline for a slimmer face. (Bottom left image)
6) Lips: After putting on lip balm we selected lipstick from the Ilia collection that Pink had. Their lipstick was creamy and hydrating and I mixed up a few to get the bright colour you see below. Pink taught us to smudge the edges of the lips using a cotton bud for a softer look, which was the Korean style. (Bottom left image)
5) Brows: This took a lot of time to get right and required Pink to help me finish. While I had followed the steps learnt in the previous class, I understood that Korean style brows were flatter and thicker. To achieve this look, concealer was added to the arches of my eyebrow to hide them and fill in the rest with the aid of the guitar-chip shape stencil (also from Beauty Blender) for a soft curved brow. After that I used ash-brown coloured brow gel, brushing in 2 directions to ensure they were coloured evenly for the full Korean brow look. (Bottom right)
After the make-up session Pink and her lovely assistant helped us create more voluminous hair using their specially ordered hair tongs (some of the girls pre-ordered them and wait period is around 1-2 weeks) and depending on the style you wanted you could have big waves or small waves.
We were instructed on how to use the hair tongs however as I had difficulty controlling it I don't have any tips on this aspect. This hairstyle was done by Pink with input from Jo!
Here you can see they've curled my hair at the bottom for a more natural wavy look.
While I enjoyed the second class, I was hoping we would learn more on achieving a glam make-up by ourselves. However I realise that Korean style make-up doesn't necessarily equal to dark smoky eyes but a put-together look from head to toe. One area that Pink stressed upon was that only having polished make-up wasn't enough, we would also need the hair to complement the make-up as well, which I'm all for.
I must say, everyone from the class noticed a difference from the previous session and agreed that a lot of it was to do with the styled voluminous hair.
While we didn't leave with freebies this time, I bought the beauty blender (HK$175) because application was easier and (almost) flawless when used with BB cream.

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Less than five months from Ohio’s Primary Election and redistricting continues to be an issue.
As they stand right now, the maps approved by the Ohio Redistricting Commission on Saturday, January 22, 2022, would make some changes to the districts in Montgomery County. Jeff Rezabek, the director of the Montgomery County Board of Elections, said along with the numbers of each district changing, House District 43 would expand to include more rural areas. He added some communities in House Districts 41 and 42 would also get rearranged.
“Representative White, her district changed probably most significantly with trying to get some communities together. Representative Young, his district kind of expands to make sure he has all of Centerville instead of splitting up Centerville,” Rezabek said.
Willis Blackshear Jr. is currently the state representative for the 39th District. If these maps are approved, he would represent a new set of voters.
“I know longer represent Jefferson Township and parts of West Dayton. Now I will be representing, still Dayton and most of West Dayton, and now I’ll be representing Riverside and parts of Huber Heights,” Blackshear said.
These maps are facing another set of legal challenges and the delay is impacting the Montgomery County Board of Elections. Rezabek said the county reorganized a lot of precincts and polling places. He said without an approved set of maps, the board has to wait to send out important information regarding the election and those changes.
“Specifically here in Montgomery County, it’s delaying our ability to notify the voters of their new precincts and notify the voters of what jurisdiction they’re in,” Rezabek said.
The new maps are coming under fire again, with advocacy groups and democrats calling them unconstitutional. Blackshear said he does not understand why the Redistricting Commission split up certain communities in his district.
“When I think about Jefferson Township and Dayton, those communities always have been merged in terms of representation. And now they have split it up with, I believe Preble County, and we look at Preble County and Jefferson Township, those aren’t communities that have a lot in common,” Blackshear said.
Nancy Martorano Miller, an associate professor of political science at the University of Dayton, said the job of the Redistricting Commission is to make the maps proportional between Democrats and Republicans.
“The first set of maps gave the republican party about a two-thirds favor in the state legislature even though over the past decade, statewide votes, for say Governor or Secretary of State, have broken down about 55-54 percent Republican, 45-46 percent Democrat,” Miller said.
While the new maps get closer to those proportions, it is still not enough for the groups filing objections, like the Ohio League of Women Voters.
“Instead, we’re seeing these maps that are rigged for political favors and big donors and party extremes. At the end of the day, that hurts every voter,” Jen Miller, the Executive Director of the LWV, said.
The fate of these new maps are once again at the hands of the Supreme Court.
“This is basically going to come down to whether or not Chief Justice O’Connor is satisfied that the changes in the map meet the directions that the court gave the redistricting commission,” Miller said.
The Ohio Legislature passed emergency legislation Wednesday to loosen candidate filing requirements. Candidates can now collect signatures from a different district in which they are running as long as it was accepted under the old district lines.

You also need to defend your own planets when they are attacked. Battlefront 2 players could still connect for online matches through third-party services like GameRanger, but these lacked true integration with the game’s own online infrastructure. I never felt like there was an end to the enemy troops. One that highlights the strengths of the Frostbite engine. This is a refurbished game so not an original but plays exactly like the original.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch starring Divina de Campo at Leeds Playhouse – review
According to the programme, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is "a cross between a musical, a cabaret and a stream of consciousness from inside Hedwig's head." Well, yes, but that fails to cover the range of the show: from Hedwig glorying in her position as a performer to her stripped down to her underwear, wigless and helpless. It doesn't embrace Hedwig wise-cracking like a foul-mouthed Dietrich or bullying Yitzhak, her unfortunate husband, or, finally, facing up to herself.
Hedwig enters, glamorously, on stage at a seedy venue on her UK tour. We know it's seedy because Yitzhak's attempts at an on-screen reception are so inept. She belts out her first number and we note, apart from the four-octave range of her voice, that the band under Alex Beetschen is really very good. Then she opens the door to an adjoining venue, much further upmarket, where Tommy Gnosis is performing to his adoring fans. In a few seconds, she shuts it again!
Hedwig tells her story, the days as a boy in Berlin, the meeting with Luther Robinson, until she comes to Tommy. From this point comedy gives way to bitterness: he is the boy on the caravan park whom she tutors in songs which are now his passport to pop glory. From thereon in, it's downhill all the way for Hedwig.
Jamie Fletcher's production for Leeds Playhouse re-stations the play in punk terms and sets it against a background (by Ben Stones) that covers all Hedwig's life. Essentially a stage with a four-piece band, it takes in a dressing room and trailer park, as well as a background of stars and symbols cavorting in the sky.
John Cameron Mitchell's book runs the gamut of smart tomfoolery up to harshly frank self-examination and Stephen Trask's songs unfailingly offer edgy commentary on the action, but this is essentially a one-person show and Divina de Campo is terrific. She begins as a (pretend) star, moving with leggy assurance, quipping nonchalantly, fixing the audience with a stare, beating down poor Yitzhak. Her impressions of her mother are wickedly accurate, only superseded by the whining little boy that she brings out for Tommy. As she removes her finery, she gains in power – it's a remarkable journey for an hour and a half of theatre.
Perhaps there's only one thing wrong with de Campo's performance – she's too good! Yitzhak takes on her wig at the end, supposedly more talented. Elijah Ferreira is charmingly docile for much of the time – his diminutive stature up against de Campo is a big help – and his little acts of rebellion register accordingly, but, despite his affecting treatment of his single song, it's hard to imagine him as the more talented of the two!
According to the programme it's more than 15 years since the UK saw a production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch – that would be the 2005 tour then – and the Leeds Playhouse version is an undeniable success in reimagining it for contemporary audiences.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A Texas state police crime lab scientist whose shoddy work may have tainted nearly 5,000 drug cases had been promoted despite a history of problems doing his work correctly and on time.
A report reviewed Friday by the Texas Forensic Science Commission notes Houston crime lab worker Jonathan Salvador was told to correct his work in about a third of his cases. His supervisors also said he routinely scrambled to keep up with his monthly work expectations.
Salvador was suspended in 2012 after his work at the Houston lab came into question, and state officials have been reviewing his cases dating back to 2006. The Texas Rangers investigated Salvador but a grand jury declined to charge him with any crimes.

The Pittsburgh-born startup Duolingo is getting lots of buzz this week after announcing that they’ve raised $30 million from Alphabet’s CapitalG venture fund.
The finance-focused news outlet Morning Brew offers praise for Duolingo, which they describe as “the language-learning app famous for helping its users find bathrooms in foreign countries.” With a valuation of $1.5 billion, Morning Brew writes, “the Pittsburgh-based startup is the city’s first venture-funded unicorn. Go yinz.”
Along with their wildly popular free classes (so popular they were recently spoofed on SNL), Duolingo has begun offering an ad-free service called Duolingo Plus that costs $6.99 per month. That revenue, along with funding totaling $138 million, is being channeled into further research and growth for the company.
Though the company has now expanded to include offices in Beijing, Seattle and New York, Pittsburghers are proud — in any language — to call this incredibly successful startup their own.

By Padraig BeltonTechnology of Company reporter
Just exactly How couples that are many have met online this romantic days celebration? A lot more than ever before is the answer that is safe as online dating sites will continue to sweep the whole world.
It is information crunching the way that is best to locate a partner?
A computer program could dictate who you date, and for how long in the future. This is the premise of the December 2017 bout of Ebony Mirror, the dystopian sci-fi television show.
But technology currently has radically changed love, with internet dating growing massively in appeal ever since Match.com blazed a path when you look at the mid-90s.
Now apps, such as for instance Tinder, using their fast account set-ups and “swipe to like” approach, took dating to some other degree.
Tinder established in 2012 in the relative straight straight straight straight back for the explosion in smartphone usage. Simply 2 yrs later on it had been registering a lot more than a billion “swipes” each day.
The democratic campaign logo encouraged voters to “swipe right for Hillary” in America’s last presidential election.
Jordan Brown, a blogger that is 24-year-old states she “had a little bit of a swipe” in October 2016, and came across her present boyfriend, whom lived an hour-and-a-half away. She will never have met him otherwise, she claims, including that the two bonded over a provided passion for Disney.
Whenever 30-year-old Sara Scarlett relocated to Dubai in 2015, she joined up with Tinder to fulfill brand brand brand new individuals. She came across her boyfriend that is last after thirty days. But transforming swipes to times could be hard, she states.
“spent many years chatting to these dudes after which they don’t really also would you like to try using a coffee,” she states.
Swapping swiping for dinner times additionally proved issue for Jordan.
“There are a huge selection of timewasters, losers, and muppets that are just general there that have absolutely absolutely absolutely nothing safer to do than mess you around,” she observes.
Despite such frustrations, dating apps have become relentlessly. Global invest was ВЈ234m in 2016, but almost dual that – ВЈ448m – in 2017, claims app research company App Annie.
Pew analysis unearthed that 59% of grownups now think online dating sites is just a way that is good satisfy individuals. Even yet in 2005, 20percent of same-sex partners had been meeting on the web. That rocketed to 70per cent by 2010, state sociologists Michael Rosenfeld and Reuben Thomas.
Internet dating was specially helpful for homosexual males, as homosexuality remains punishable by death in five nations and areas of two other people, states Grindr’s Jack Harrison-Quintana.
“the basic explanation dating apps had been produced into the homosexual community would be to protect users and produce a safe environment, wherever they’ve been positioned,” he claims.
Dating apps made three associated with the top ten apps by customer invest just last year in the UK, claims Paul Barnes, a manager at App Annie. In France, house of relationship, they taken into account six of this top ten.
“there are many cash right right here and it’s really far more competitive now,” claims Mr Barnes, “therefore makers that are app need certainly to realize their users perfectly, and discover approaches to have them involved.”
Usually, online dating services needed members fill out exhaustive questionnaires. Now machine learning can be being marshalled into the pursuit of better matches.
A amount that is small of – 300 to 400 words from Twitter articles – is sufficient due to their pc pc pc computer software to determine just how much a couple has in accordance, claims Daigo Smith, co-founder of LoveFlutter.
LoveFlutter has paired up with Toronto-based normal language processing company Receptiviti to generate brand new ways to matching people who they’re going to begin using this present year.
These draw on research by James Pennebaker, a social psychology teacher at the University of Austin, Texas. Prof Pennebaker learned 86 couples and discovered lovers making use of comparable frequencies of function terms – articles, conjunctions, and pronouns – had been likely still become together after 3 months.
Another data-based approach is to make use of your smartphone’s location to locate possible times.
Paris-based software happn analyses where you have already been throughout the time, then demonstrates to you those who passed within 250 metres of you. These individuals would be easiest to meet up in actual life, states Claire Certain, happn’s head of styles.
“this really is pretty much conference and offering it a go. If it is likely to be an excellent match or perhaps maybe not is extremely mystical, chemistry is extremely astonishing.”
However if proximity solves the difficulty of endless swiping but no suppers, it may also suggest we remain in your social silos, warns sociologist Josue Ortega. Whereas online dating sites has increased the incidence of interracial relationship, he claims.
Rachel Katz, A american who learned Tinder on her behalf master’s level at Cambridge University and it is Grindr that is now studying for doctorate, agrees.
“When, many people married those who lived within four kilometers of these. Then we’d the web, and all sorts of these possibilities that are infinite soulmates around the world; it did not matter where these were.”
However in 2018, real location is of main value once again, states Ms Katz, “so you’re likely to satisfy somebody who’s conveniently close – but and also this replicates boundaries of course.”
The next technology revolution in internet dating will feature augmented and digital reality, experts believe.
Imagine people that are scanning your phone in a nightclub and seeing exactly how many are making their dating pages available, claims happn’s Claire Certain.
More Tech of Company

- ‘we don’t https://besthookupwebsites.net/escort/austin/ also satisfy my prospective companies’
- Just how to get a handle on a device making use of your brain
- Can you care if this particular aspect was indeed published by a robot?
And LoveFlutter’s Daigo Smith states: “as opposed to planning to a club, you will invest your night starting digital pubs purchasing other avatars digital beverages with your cryptocurrency.”
But one enduring problem against dating apps would be that they truly are not so feminine friendly.
The portion of females on dating apps “never goes above 35%”, claims Jean Meyer, creator and executive that is chief of Dating. Guys, this indicates, usually do not behave love men.
On Mr Meyer’s software, females leave feedback concerning the males they have dated. And perhaps males will study on this feedback, he claims.
Austin-based Whitney Wolfe Herd, an old Tinder vice-president, established an app called Bumble which hinges on ladies to really make the contact that is first males. The company – where 85% of staff are ladies – happens to be respected at over $1bn, based on Forbes mag.
Therefore online dating sites is here now to remain – and certainly will embrace brand brand brand brand new technologies because they emerge – however when it comes down to love, there aren’t any guarantees.

If there’s one collective benefit associated with the novel coronavirus, it’s that an increasing number of people have given their financial future a rethink. Before the pandemic, many financial advisors noted that the current generation of young Americans were not involved in the equity markets like prior generations at the same age bracket. Now, seemingly everyone is learning their lesson, which presents a great opportunity for value stocks.
While it might appear that the public is gaining a financial education because of the coronavirus-fueled lockdowns, there could be another story in the writing. It’s more than possible that the uptick in market participation is due to gambling or merely filling in the boredom with an enticing activity. As you know, sports were shut down during the first few months of the crisis, creating an entertainment gap.
Therefore, many folks, especially those that were now “working” from home, found another opportunity to wile away the hours. As a result, we saw tremendous volume spikes in publicly traded companies which are popular with millennials. But for the true contrarian, the real opportunity is in underappreciated value stocks.
Honestly, you couldn’t ask for a better setup for those who like going against the grain. What we saw and continue to see is groupthink at its finest. Just because the collective has lowered in average age doesn’t take away the groupthink nature of this pandemic-spoiled year.
If you’re really thinking about your future, it’s best to avoid the crowd sometimes. True, many of the high-flying names will continue to perform well in the new normal. But if you anticipate a return to some semblance of normalcy, you may be best served with these value stocks to buy.

Keep in mind that in the new normal that in the second quarter of 2020, the price-earnings ratio of the S&P 500 index hit 31.24, according to Ycharts.com. That’s up nearly 44% on a year-over-year basis. Clearly, the risk-reward proposition has shifted toward value stocks, with these ideas providing possible upside over the next several months.
As a paper production specialist, Verso may be the ultimate in value stocks to buy. Obviously, we’re embracing digitalization at a breakneck speed. Innovations such as the Internet of Things makes it unlikely that we’re going to reverse course anytime soon. Therefore, it’s no surprise that VRS stock is on paper (no pun intended) grossly undervalued.
Who wants paper products in the information age? Well, more than you might think.
After all, while the smart devices and computers that you enjoy utilize the latest technical innovations, the manner in which these products were delivered to you is still old school analog. More importantly, the new normal, with its emphasis on contactless services and online shopping, incentivizes the case for VRS stock.
Although e-commerce as a percentage of sales has skyrocketed during the pandemic, we again come to an unavoidable fact: shipped products require extensive paper, from the cardboard exterior to the inner packaging materials.
Plus, digital products aren’t entirely as great as they may appear. For example, reading e-books on your tablet can cause “computer vision syndrome.” Indeed, the pandemic has bolstered the case for this most surprising name among value stocks.
As I’ve mentioned before, 2020 could go down as the year of the pivot. When the novel coronavirus first hit us, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies all had the same idea: get to cracking on a coronavirus vaccine or treatment. Furthermore, the White House’s initiative Operation Warp Speed encouraged this healthcare segment with some freshly minted Benjamins.
Included in the collective search for a solution was AbbVie, which extended its hand to help accelerate discovery efforts. Still, no one is rushing to buy ABBV stock for its coronavirus narrative. That sentiment has gone to this year’s higher-profile companies such as Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) or Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX).
But not getting too deeply involved may suit ABBV stock just fine in the long run. For one thing, vaccines typically take years to research, develop and distribute. Don’t get me wrong – I don’t doubt American resourcefulness and ingenuity. However, some will argue that we must be realistic. And diving too deeply into the vaccine search is risky if things don’t go according to plan.
While AbbVie isn’t exactly making headlines this year, it’s poised to become one of the more viable value stocks in the post-pandemic era. Once society stabilizes, the company’s Botox sales – which declined sharply during the pandemic – should rise again. Plus, Botox caters to the wealthier, older crowd, who will now have the ability to undergo non-essential services.
Merck is one of the more intriguing plays among value stocks this year. As you know, the pharmaceutical giant is best known for its cancer drugs, particularly Keytruda, a humanized antibody used in cancer immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 crisis created a massive influx of hospitalizations. What’s worse, people with underlying conditions are at greater risk for complications.
Therefore, it made sense for long-term patients to avoid healthcare facilities. Of course, that dampened the narrative for MRK stock as everyone was focused on the emergency at hand. However, in the post-pandemic era, you’d expect Merck to make up for lost ground, giving it a credible edge compared to other value stocks.
But that’s not all. Merck decided to enter the coronavirus vaccine race, although late into the game. You’d think that MRK stock has no chance based purely on its Covid venture. However, the company is forwarding a concept that’s incredibly rare in this arena: a single-dose and oral vaccine.
Currently, most of the vaccine candidates feature two-dose regimens, which creates logistics challenges. As well, these vaccines are injected into the patient, which is a problem: approximately 50 million Americans are scared of needles.
Another interesting candidate among value stocks of 2020 is 3M. At first, demand soared for 3M’s N95 respirators due to their industry standard protection against airborne particles. But then, the company was vilified because it couldn’t meet demand. For an example of this, check out Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo grill 3M CEO Mike Roman.
It was must-see TV. And you know what? It didn’t help MMM stock optically when the underlying company had to import its N95s from 3M factories in China. That’s according to the Washington Post, which I heard is not President Trump’s favorite news agency.
Despite the controversies, MMM stock has generally treaded higher since the March doldrums. In my opinion, it could go higher still. What we have to remember is that based on longstanding social consequences from the 1918 flu, we could see lingering behavioral changes in the new normal.
Primarily, this may involve an attitude shift regarding personal protective equipment (PPE). To be fair, extensive research demonstrates that N95 respirators are not conclusively any more effective than surgical masks in real-world conditions. Nevertheless, the fear of missing out on the industry standard of PPE may drive up sales of N95 respirators, just in case.
Korea Electric Power (KEP)
As you well know, the U.S. is having a heck of a time controlling Covid-19. Although new daily coronavirus cases ebb and flow, since Sept. 8, infections have been rising according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As well, Europe is experiencing a second wave, which raises questions about why some countries/regions are performing better than others.
Specifically, Asian countries generally have fared better than western nations. That’s not just my observation but a dynamic that CNN reported on recently. Of course, the thorny question is why?
In my opinion, I believe that because western nations are immigration-friendly, the resultant diversity has sparked into tensions, misgivings and suspicions among all communities. In contrast, the homogenous nation of Korea saw an increase in trust within society and toward government agencies. And this brings me to Korea Electric Power and KEP stock.
As a utility play, Korea Electric Power will always be relevant. But I like KEP stock as part of a broader exposure to the Korean economy. Frankly, we should all learn from the Koreans about testing and tracing procedures, along with cooperation on beating a pandemic.
Keep in mind that the Koreans are victims of the coronavirus which originated from China. Yet the Koreans didn’t act like a bunch of idiots like many of us Americans have. That’s a plus for Korea-based value stocks and KEP in particular is a bright spot.
For singles, one of the biggest impacts of the novel coronavirus has been to their dating life. Now, the idea of meeting up with that special someone doesn’t seem that enticing, no matter how special they are. In this context, companies that specialize in online dating could be considered value stocks. However, China’s Momo may be a better play for speculators.
Although we often hear that this crisis will eventually pass, I’m not so sure now. At some point, you’ve got to figure that the virus itself will fade away. But as I mentioned earlier, major pandemics have imposed lingering social consequences. And this dynamic could be more problematic for the U.S. with its highly diverse population.
As the New York Times once pointed out, diversity can breed mistrust. I would argue that mistrust grows even more with an invisible enemy like the coronavirus. But in China, most people are Han Chinese, eliminating the diversity challenge. This suggests that as global societies normalize, China will be among the first to do so, which bodes well for MOMO stock.
Also, Asian countries have handled this crisis better. Therefore, just based on a mass-scale health perspective, MOMO stock is in a favorable market.
Among the value stocks on this list, ANA is easily the riskiest. The acronym stands for All Nippon Airways, which right there I’ve perhaps lost most of you. You see, there’s a reason why I put ALNPY stock dead last in this gallery. Nevertheless, for the hardened speculator, ANA could offer significant upside.
Generally, I don’t like the airliners. Thus, based purely on its own fundamentals, I wouldn’t even think about ALNPY stock. As well, there’s nothing special about the Japanese air travel industry. According to Nikkei Asia, ANA is seeking to layoff employees as well as reducing “monthly pay for around 15,000 employees. The cuts are expected to lower annual compensation by about 30%.”
What you’re seeing in the airliner industry is absolutely heartbreaking and it’s a narrative shared across the world. However, what gives ANA a possible edge is the rescheduling of the Summer Olympics to 2021, which Tokyo will host. That could give a tourism boost that may help Japan’s biggest travel companies.
However, I must warn you that there’s a chance the Olympics will be cancelled outright. While Tokyo desperately wants to host the tournament, the Japanese government cannot risk a massive second wave. So, consider ANLPY a high-risk, high-reward venture among value stocks.

Illinois lawmakers continue to hear dire scenarios for the state budget if they do not vote to extend the five-percent income tax rate. The latest threatened cuts include the entire state Capitol Police force.
The Capitol Police Department was established less than 10 years ago, after a deranged man shot and killed an unarmed security officer.
The shooting led to the installation of metal detectors and x-ray machines, and hiring sworn, armed law enforcement personnel.
Illinois law says after four DUI convictions, that person can never drive again, not even if his or her offenses are long in the past. But one lawmaker wants to give people who've gotten their lives together another chance drive.
Rep. Elaine Nekritz (D-Northbrook) says her bill was inspired by a constituent who had several DUIs in the past, but has been sober for years.
The Secretary of State's office is closing all 138 of its facilities around Illinois. Agency spokesman Dave Druker ) says officials decided to shut the locations on Monday because of bad road conditions in central and southern Illinois, along with the dangerous cold in northern Illinois. Offices are set to reopen on Tuesday.
A state law taking effect yesterday limits the use of free on-street parking by the disabled. Now, only motorists whose impairments prevent them from being able to pay a meter can park for free in those spots.
Before, anyone with a disability parking placard could do so. Now, motorists will have to get statements from doctors affirming they cannot feed parking meters, for example, because they use wheelchairs or cannot walk more than 20 feet.

ISLAMABAD: Former additional secretary Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Afzal Khan has alleged that general elections 2013 were rigged, Geo News reported.
In an interview to a private TV channel, Afzal Khan alleged that former chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, justice (retd) Tassaduq Hussain Jillani, Justice (retd) Riaz Kayani and former Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Fakhruddin G. Ibrahim were also involved in the rigging.
Afzal alleged that Justice (retd) Riaz Kayani ruined elections 2013, adding Riaz was responsible of 90 per cent of this destruction.
He said not 35 but several hundred punctures were carried out during the elections.
Afzal said Iftikhar Chaudhry sent ROs to the Election Commission by appointing them himself.
He claimed that Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Fakhruddin G Ebrahim was frightened while carrying out his duties. He claimed that Fakhru Bhai saved the former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry by giving an application for appointing ROs.
He further revealed that Fakhru Bhai closed his eyes on everything and he should have taken notice of the situation.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PTI) leader Arif Alvi after the above development tweeted:

When many of us have booked our beach holiday deals , the last thing on our minds is changing currency or checking the best options for spending money.
After rushing around buying new clothes, making a list and packing the family’s case, there’s usually no time to check online for the best prices and so, like many others, we take the easy way out and opt to change the money at the airport.
However, this might be the best thing for the airport, but certainly not for you! Research indicates that British travellers are losing more than £28 million a year due to poor exchange rates and commission charges applied at airports.
The study, which was conducted for the Post Office, analysed commission charges and exchange rates applied to a £286 transaction - the average value purchased by holidaymakers.
Sarah Munro, head of travel money at the Post Office, said: “We compared rates at five UK airports with those available in the Post Office bureaux de changes branches and found that tourists buying at the airport would get far fewer Euros for their pounds.
“In fact, families changing £286 into Euros at the airport face losing over £16 – enough to buy a round of drinks and eight ice creams in Portugal.”
So if you’re looking to book a last minute holiday this summer, remember to change that currency before you leave, saving you enough money for that extra round of drinks when you arrive.
However, for those with more time on their hands or who know how best to prepare for their holidays, it may just be worth looking into a new credit card for both safety and penny pinching.
Halifax is the latest bank to launch a no-fees credit card, the clarity card, which could save regular travellers hundreds of pounds in cashpoint charges and foreign exchange fees, as well as charging interest at a standard rate of 12.9%. It’s one of few credit cards not to charge customers for withdrawing cash from a hole in the wall abroad as many others charge 2.5% fee on all cash withdrawals, as well as levying a higher interest rate, usually 20% or more.
Taking the convenient option of your normal bank cards overseas may seem safer than carrying significant amounts of cash – but, thanks to the high card charges imposed by most high street banks, it is rarely the cheapest choice to make.
Other holiday-friendly credit cards include Santander, Nationwide, the Post Office and Saga, each offering decent card deals, although the terms and conditions very slightly.
So remember, if you’re looking to book last minute beach holiday deals , don’t forget to check out the best offers around at the time…it could end up saving you a packet!

Being able to buy Grapes all year round can make us take for granted this important food, which is one of our earliest cultivated plants. But the European season is in full swing so there’s no better time to buy them. We can eat the fresh fruits off the vine, make them into wine, dry them to make raisins and currants for storing, and press unripe fruits to make verjus to use instead of vinegar. The grape’s seeds can also be pressed to produce a cooking oil. Their tender young leaves can be used as edible wrappings – think of dishes like dolmades in Greece; warak enab in Lebanon; and yaprak sarma in Turkey. Vine prunings can be tossed onto hot coals to add flavour to grilled food and even the old wood cut-backs make good firewood. No wonder we were quick to recognise the value of the grapevine.
There are thousands of grape varieties, most of the word’s crop - around 2/3 - goes to make wine, the other third being eaten either fresh or dried to make raisins. Most wine grape varieties are acidic, which helps to control the yeast fermentation, while table grapes come in large clusters and are generally sweeter. Most commercial eating varieties today have been bred to be seedless and to have a long storage life, the commonest being the ubiquitous ‘Thompson Seedless’. Grapes suitable for eating fresh are quite diverse and worth seeking out. Ranging from pale yellow to deep purple, seedy to seedless, their sugar content can range from 14%-25% and their acidity 0.4%-1.2%. And it’s worth remembering that seedy varieties often have the best flavour.
If you want to cook with grapes, here are a few ideas. In wine-growing regions of Italy they make Schiacciata – a focaccia-like bread – where grapes, and sometimes sprigs of rosemary, are spread over the surface before being drizzled with honey or scattered with sugar then baked; you can roast grapes in olive oil in a hot oven for 10 minutes until just bursting and serve with roast meat – particularly good with pork and game; add some to a pan of fried sausages and onions towards the end of cooking; make a Grape sorbet with deep purple Italian Uva Fragola, or Concord, grapes.
The Spanish make Ajo blanco, or white Gazpacho, a chilled soup which originated in Malaga: well ground almonds are mixed to a soft paste with a little water, briefly soaked white bread and garlic is added before whizzing all together in a food processor. Iced water, or milk, goes in until the consistency is that of single cream. A little salt, pepper and sherry vinegar is added to taste then the soup is chilled for at least and hour. White grapes, preferably spicy Muscat, are added just before serving.
Here at Puntarelle & Co, it’s time to celebrate the European season for grapes. The Italian deep-purple Uva Fragola have arrived. Seedy, with a firm skin, they have a distinct strawberry and exotic fruits flavour, makes perfect Water Kefir by London Fermentary. The thinner-skinned, perfumed Muscat grape is also here. Its gold/green to shell-pink translucent orbs hold spicy, musky flavours. These two are hard to beat but we’ll have other varieties to add to the mix this autumn.

On July 20, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose appeared before the House Committee on Homeland Security to talk about Ohio’s (very good) record with elections, describing the state’s efforts to improve election security that he said foiled an attempt a year ago to breach Lake County’s election protections. LaRose often talks about how enhanced election security in Ohio has paid off in exceedingly low numbers of suspected election-fraud cases -- a measly 0.0005% of votes in 2020, or 62 suspected cases, for instance, and these only might have been fraudulent and were referred for further investigation.
But could LaRose also be part of the problem in recent tweets that talk of those 62 cases as “ONLY THE BEGINNING,” or that warn that Democrats aim to shred the state’s electoral security if they get into office, or by ramping up talk (and doubts) about electoral votes in other states as he sought (and won) Donald Trump’s endorsement in his re-election bid this year?
Ohio voted for Trump. But hearings on the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol have exposed the way elections officials in some states that didn’t go for Trump were targeted for merciless harassment when they refused to substitute false presidential electors for the ones chosen by voters in 2020. A survey by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law “found that one in six [local election officials surveyed] have been threatened because of their job, and that nearly one in three know of one or more election workers who have left their job at least in part because of fears for their safety, increased threats, or intimidation.”
And that may not even be the worst offshoot of Trump’s politically motivated campaign to sow doubts about election security. Far more worrying to some experts is the possibility it will ramp up enough discouragement and doubts about the honesty of elections to start an accelerating spiral of distrust that Trump or others could exploit to try to alter future election results.
Does Frank LaRose share some of the blame for this, or are his comments on voter fraud just politics as usual as LaRose mulls a future Senate run in bright red Ohio? What can or should be done to bolster faith in our electoral system? Our Editorial Board Roundtable offers its thoughts.
Ted Diadiun, columnist:
Frank LaRose beat back a primary challenge from an election denier by saying unequivocally that the election was not stolen, and his performance as secretary of state is sufficient on its face to bolster faith in Ohio’s electoral system, his campaign rhetoric notwithstanding. He’s got nothing to apologize for.
Thomas Suddes, editorial writer:
Secretary LaRose should stick to his knitting -- overseeing Ohio’s elections -- rather than searching for publicity, which latter quest seems to be his current focus. There’ll be plenty of time for microphones and cameras in 2024.
Eric Foster, columnist:
I wouldn’t say LaRose is adding to the doubts, because that would suggest he’s leading the crowd. LaRose is clearly following the crowd with any remarks on “election security” and doubting other states’ election results. He will say whatever he needs to in order to secure his status. Consummate politician.
Lisa Garvin, editorial board member:
As Jackson Browne sang in “The Pretender,” “He started out so young and strong, only to surrender.” LaRose masterfully handled the pandemic-stricken 2020 election, but then did nothing to stop gerrymandering and is giving a nod and a wink to election doubters. Will the real Frank LaRose please stand up?
Victor Ruiz, editorial board member:
Secretary LaRose changes his positions to suit his political aspirations all the time, so this should not be surprising. I am confused by his rhetoric, especially since Ohio is overwhelmingly Republican. However, I understand that Trump’s endorsement means more to him than doing his job with dignity and professionalism.
Mary Cay Doherty, editorial board member:
LaRose is right on both counts: Ohio’s elections are secure, and election security demands constant vigilance. Instead of obsessing about Trump’s influence over “average” Americans, political and cultural elites should be asking why many Americans see elites as untrustworthy and disconnected from mainstream concerns and values.
Elizabeth Sullivan, opinion director:
Frank LaRose diminishes himself and his accomplishments when he styles himself a defender of election security, then tweets out dire warnings about voter fraud that contradict the actual record in Ohio.

Concord, N.H. (September 6, 2022) –The Foundation for New Hampshire Community Colleges (The Foundation) recently welcomed Dwight Davis as the newest member to join its board of directors. Davis brings decades of business and community relationship-building experiences to support The Foundation’s mission of helping lessen financial barriers to those seeking a community college education and supporting creative partnerships across New Hampshire.
Upon moving to New Hampshire 18 years ago, Davis began volunteering with youth. He was appointed by Governor John Lynch to the NH Workforce Youth Council in 2007 before becoming chair the following year. In 2009, Governor Maggie Hassan appointed Davis to the NH Workforce Investment Board, where he remains a member. He also received the National Workforce Leadership Award for his engagement with NH youth. He is the current president of the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire board of directors, chair of the recently formed New Hampshire Center for Justice and Equity, and a founding member of the Business Alliance for People of Color.
In 2014, Davis and his wife Gayle opened Senior Helpers of Southern New Hampshire, a non-medical in-home care company. Before Senior Helpers, Davis was best known for his career as a professional basketball player for five NBA seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors. He is an active member of the National Basketball Retired Players Association.
“We’re honored to welcome Dwight to The Foundation board of directors,” said Tim Allison, executive director of The Foundation. “His many years of working with citizens across our state will provide invaluable insight to helping The Foundation serve our local communities and support our students.”
The Foundation is a charitable organization established to provide greater access to educational opportunities through financial assistance for student scholarships, program development and enhancements to facilities across New Hampshire’s seven community colleges. The Foundation actively seeks contributions from public and private sources to create scholarships and program partnerships that prepare students for in-demand, skilled jobs to meet the needs in the workforce.

On the face of it, as someone who is interested in symbols and semiotics, this should have been the perfect crime book for me to read. There was certainly much that I enjoyed. But I also found elements of the book a bit of a battle.
The two main battles I had actually surrounded the semiotics side of things.
First, particularly early on, the book seemed to want to stress that the protagonist was a specialist in semiotics at every opportunity. While I appreciate that the message needed to be got through to the reader, most of whom probably have little understanding of what a semiotician may do, it just ended up feeling forced, overly clever, and repetitive, rather than focussing on what it was that the character, Evan, actually did.
Second, one of the key aspects of the semiotics and how they were presented in the book revolved around poems. As I have written before in relation to five poems that I do like (Kubla Khan, Because of You, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, The Lake, and A Shropshire Lad), I don’t particularly like poetry. So, when the poetry is written in a non-standard English format and can go on for several pages (at least in the font size that I use on my phone), I find it tedious. I am sure that the author put a lot of work into the poetry and for some it would provide a source of interest as they try to work out who the killer is before the protagonist, but, I’m afraid, it did absolutely nothing for me, and I skipped over almost all of it.
Having said about the battles, I should then say that overall I really enjoyed the book, the characters, and the story.
There were a number of lines that I particularly enjoyed in the book.
Someone—perhaps Nietzsche—once said that those seen dancing were thought insane by those who could not hear the music.
This line resonated with me thanks to the inclusion of Nietzsche in one of the remixes of Frankie Goes To Hollywood‘s “Welcome to the Pleasuredome”, in relation to which I am writing a book, Frankie Fans Say.
Next, is the following line, which anyone living in the UK – particularly as I read the sentence in November – could probably relate to…
A bitter mid-November night slouched off to make room for a grim day that no one considered an improvement.
In relation to signs and symbols, the book has a couple of interesting points to make. For example,
We must be aware that every sign or symbol left at a crime scene can carry a number of meanings.
It’s dangerous to draw conclusions too quickly and without considering all the signs present
That symbols can carry more than one meaning and that drawing a quick conclusion can be problematic, are central to points that I make in my book “Japan: The Basics” and will be discussing in much more depth in my work on “visual packaging culture“. The problems relate to a point that the protagonist makes very well…
“Every human is a semiotician,” Evan went on. “That is, a reader of signs. All of us, every single day, interpret—or decode—the signs around us. Traffic lights. Road signs. The silhouette of a man or woman outside our bathroom doors. We’re constantly interpreting the man-made world around us.”
Overall, I really enjoyed the book, just as I had previously enjoyed “Blood on the Tracks” by the same author about five years ago.

After an oddly comfortable, but nonetheless cold winter, it’s finally springtime in Northwest Arkansas.
What once started as a small independent music event in 2006 at Maxine’s in Hot Springs, Ark., has since grown to an impressive five day festival hosting 70 bands of genres ranging in all styles from avant garde to hip hop.
We’ve had our first big vote, and I’m doing my best to dig Tulsi Gabbard’s endorsement of Bernie Sanders out from beneath the pile of Super Tuesday numbers and media declarations of winners and losers.
That conservative forces have long sought to squash dissent and curtail rigorous academic debate on campuses is far from a secret.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton had a successful Super Tuesday.

Man dies after being hit by train in Monroe January 19, 2018
CLICK TO ENLARGE
Chronicle staff This report was first published Jan. 17 in the Breaking News column
(MONROE, WA.) -- Monroe Police say the body of a man was found in a creek on Tuesday after he'd been hit by a train.
Just after 6:00 am Tuesday Monroe police officers were dispatched to a BNSF (Burlington Northern-Santa Fe) "train versus a pedestrian collision" that occurred on the east end of Monroe.
As officers arrived on scene they were met by the train conductor and engineer. The conductor told officers he saw a man lying "between the rails" of the train track and immediately put the train into emergency braking.
As the train got closer to the man they saw him try to escape being hit but was unable to clear the area before being struck by the train.
But they were not immediately able to find the man in the area of the impact so police officers, BNSF and Fire District 7 personnel searched the tracks and rail cars.
"A backpack was found a short distance west of the train trestle. Officers began to branch out to search a large heavily wooded area and Snohomish County Search and Rescue was called to assist," said a Monroe PD statement. "At approximately 08:21 am, an officer standing on the railroad trestle spotted a body in a log jam in Woods Creek that runs under the trestle. The Snohomish County Dive team was called out and recovered the body from the river."
The man who died was reported to be in his late 30’s. Identification as well as cause and manner of death will be determined by the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office.

In addition to its wealth of natural beauty spanning dramatic coastlines and grassy pastures, the Isle of Wight is home to a number of enchanting towns. Sandown Bay, in the east of the island, is home to a small collection of picturesque and unique towns, one of which is the popular seaside resort of Shanklin. Visitors can expect a first-class beach, a wooded ravine, and a smattering of impressive hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs.
The Isle of Wight is blessed with a wealth of outstanding beaches, ranging from the sandy and exotic to the rugged and rocky. One of the best known and most accessible is in Shanklin.
The long stretch of sandy beach is a real favourite among families, thanks to its safe swimming and range of nearby facilities. The bustling esplanade is a great place to stroll at any time of day, and is peppered with places to eat and drink.
Stepping a little way back from the seaside, Shanklin has plenty more to offer visitors. The wooded ravine known as Shanklin Chine is a tranquil spot, particularly popular with keen walkers. The island is home to one of the few remaining colonies of red squirrel in the United Kingdom, and a small squirrel feeding station encourages visitors to appreciate the wildlife living in the steep and pretty gorge.
The Old Village is one of the most picturesque and charming man-made locations on the island. Among the old buildings you'll find a number of shops, tea rooms and pubs. In the nearby village of Godshill, there's a 1:10 scale model village of the Old Village, which is well worth the visit after seeing the village itself.
Shanklin offers a broad range of hotels, from rural spa retreats to central B&Bs. Those seeking some peace and quiet can head for Luccombe Manor County House. Within the expansive grounds, guests can find an outdoor swimming pool, restaurant, and a games room for kids. The Channel View Hotel makes the most of its seafront location, offering views out across the glistening ocean. There's also a full service spa and an indoor pool, for total relaxation during your stay.

The front of the foot could be considered the front lines of our exposure to the world. Whenever we take a step, the front of our foot and our toes will always be heading into new territory first!
There are certainly some external hazards that we should watch out for (table legs and LEGOs, for a couple). But there are also internal conditions that can interfere with our comfort and mobility.
Some forefoot problems tend to be largely attributable to genetics, while others might be the result of overuse and environmental factors (such as workplace demands). For every condition, however, there is very likely something that can be done to either fully treat the condition or at least significantly manage its symptoms.
Ankle & Foot Specialist of N.J. also specializes in all manner of forefoot problems. We’ll take a closer look at a few of the more common ones here, and then look into some of the treatments that may be recommended.
Never be afraid to pursue treatment for these problems, by the way. If you are worried by the idea of surgery, know that it is almost never the only option!
Common Causes of Forefoot Trouble
The forefoot contains a great many bones, muscles, and other soft tissues, creating plenty of opportunity for problems. Here are a few of the most commonly seen by a podiatrist.
A bunion is one of the most easily identifiable problems on the forefoot. It looks like a big, bony bump on the outside of the big toe because… well, that’s exactly what it is.
The joint at the base of the big toe can grow unstable, often based on genetic factors, and begin to shift. The big toe starts to move inward toward its neighboring toes, and the base of the joint begins to jut out from the side.
A bunion will often be painful and irritated from rubbing against the inside of a shoe. It may even develop a corn or callus as the foot tries to protect itself against the point of friction. Stiffness and mobility problems with the big toe are also a significant likelihood over time.
A hammertoe, much like a bunion, is a deformity that can cause a joint to shift out of its normal stance. In this case, the middle joint of a toe will bend, causing the toe to angle upward in the middle. Bends at other joints of a toe may go by other names, such as mallet toe or claw toe, but are largely similar in shape and symptoms.
A hammertoe can also suffer from the same kind of friction-based problems as a bunion, developing a painful corn from rubbing against the top of a shoe.
While some people may be more genetically likely to get a hammertoe than others, other factors such as past trauma may have caused an imbalance in toe structure that results in the condition.
Metatarsalgia (Forefoot Pain)
Symptoms of metatarsalgia include a sharp or aching pain in the ball of the foot, just behind the toes. You might also feel a shooting pain or tingling in your toes, and it might feel as if a pebble is caught in your shoe.
Pain tends to be worse when you walk, run, or otherwise flex the foot, and tends to get better once you get off your feet.
Metatarsalgia is an overarching condition that can stem from a variety of causes. These can include overdoing it with activities, excess weight, or even a growth of fibrous tissue around a nerve (neuroma).
When a bone experiences too much stress—either in a relatively short time or over a sustained period of repetitive use—it may begin to develop small cracks along its surface. Bearing weight on these areas can lead to a sharp, pricking kind of sensation.
Any sort of activity or lifestyle that places a lot of pressure on the bones of the forefoot without providing much opportunity for them to rest and recover will increase the risk of stress fractures.
What to Do About Forefoot Pain
There is no one “cure-all” for every type of forefoot problem. The same type of treatment might not even be the most effective between two patients with the same diagnosis! So much depends not only on the problem involved, but the underlying causes and the needs of the patient as well.
That is why a thorough examination is always the first step in treatment. We must make sure we understand the problem fully, and that includes potential questions about your physical activity, workplace demands, and family history, among other things.
For some conditions, such as bunions and hammertoes, there is one hard truth: there is no way to reverse these conditions without surgery. However, that does not mean surgery is necessary! There are many conservative treatments that can help manage symptoms as well as keep the shifting joint from progressing.
Other conditions, however, such as stress fractures and various causes of metatarsalgia, can be fully recovered from with rest and other forms of assistance.
In many cases of forefoot trouble, whether in treatment or management, some changes may need to be made in order to relieve symptoms, allow opportunity to heal, or prevent future problems from developing. These options might include:
The use of custom orthotics to shift excess forces away from problem areas.
Exercises and stretches that can strengthen or condition necessary muscles and joints.
Changes in footwear or work environment (such as placing a cushioned mat in places you are prone to spend hours standing).
Medications and/or injections for pain management.
Splints and other devices to help hold joints in place at night.
If conservative methods do not happen to provide the results we need, then—and only then—is surgery considered as an option. If it is, we will discuss your options with you fully so you can make the best decision for you regarding your treatment.
Help Should Be Front and Center
If an issue in the front of your foot has been ailing you, no matter how long, taking the step to seek help will be worth it!

Opening week a mixed bag for Lady Indians
WHS girls finish 2-3 in Ellis County Invitational on home diamond
It has been a mixed opening week for the Waxahachie softball team, with some close games and some blowouts going either way.
After the Lady Indians opened the season last Tuesday with a 15-4 run-rule victory over Godley, the team hosted the Ellis County Invitational and went 2-3, with wins against Keller and Fort Worth Arlington Heights and losses to Carthage, North Forney and Paris North Lamar.
Highlights from the tournament included Kadin Vire’s four RBI in an 18-5 rout of Heights and her triple in a 10-3 loss to Carthage on Thursday; Marlee Jackson’s go-ahead single in the fifth inning to give the Lady Indians the lead before North Forney rallied for a 7-6 win; Val Medina’s two RBI in a 7-2 win over Keller on Friday; and Kennedi Massey’s 2-for-2 game with two RBI and two runs scored as a bright spot in a 17-5 loss to North Lamar.
Jackson started the season off right in last Tuesday’s win over Godley, going 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored. Massey also delivered in the nine-hole, also batting 2-for-4 with two RBI and scoring three runs. Molly Gilbert was 2-for-2 with a walk and also scored three times.
Kylee Raney struck out 13 allowed three earned runs on four hits, walking five.
The Lady Indians were scheduled to host Aledo on Tuesday evening before traveling to Ennis on Friday at 7 p.m. for their final non-district tune-up. Their first District 11-6A game of the season looms next Tuesday, March 9, at home against Mansfield Lake Ridge starting at 6 p.m.

Almost three quarters of shop-brought chickens are contaminated with a strain of bacteria which causes food poisoning, with almost a fifth testing positive at the highest level, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has revealed.
The overall rate of contamination from campylobacter has risen from 70 per cent in November and 59 per cent in August, the FSA reported as it revealed results from the first three quarters of its year-long survey of fresh chickens.
Some 73 per cent of fresh shop-bought chickens are contaminated with the food poisoning bug.
Poultry is the major source of campylobacter, causing the FSA to urge the industry to make an effort to ensure chickens are free of the bacteria when they hit shoppers' baskets.
But the organisation has reported that no major retailers were meeting the target for reducing campylobacter – the most common cause of food poisoning which affects an estimated 280,000 people a year.
However, the FSA praised Marks and Spencer’s efforts to bring down contamination levels, and suggested others should follow suit.
The proportion of chickens testing positive of campylobacter - or 1,000 colony forming units per gram (cfu/g) - has risen from almost a 18 per cent in November to 19 per cent, while 7 per cent of packaging tested positive - up from 6 per cent in August.
When individual major supermarkets were considered, the FSA found that Asda once again sold the highest percentage of chickens contaminated with the food bug at 78.9 percent, with 31.1 percent showing the bug above the highest level of contamination and 13 percent of packaging testing positive.
In November, the supermarket acknowledged in a statement the problem was serious, but added: "There is no ‘silver bullet’ to tackle this issue, but along with other retailers, we’re working hard to find a solution."
Following closely behind was Morrisons, at 76.2 per cent, The Co-operative and Marks & Spencer, both around three quarters, Waitrose at 71.7 per cent, Sainsbury's 69.6 percent, and Tesco 68.2 per cent.
While individual figures for the discount supermarkets Aldi, Lidl and Iceland were not reported because their market share was based on 2010 figures and deemed too small, the overall rate of campylobacter contamination among all retailers other than the major supermarkets was 76.9per cent.
The FSA’s full set of results, by which point it will have tested around 4,000 samples of whole chickens bought from UK retail outlets and smaller independent stores and butchers, are expected to be published in May.
FSA director of policy Steve Wearne said: "We now know it is possible to make positive inroads in the reduction of campylobacter.
"Figures released today by M&S show that their intervention plan has resulted in fewer contaminated chickens on sale in their stores. If one retailer can achieve this campylobacter reduction through systematic interventions then others can, and should.
"Our survey is putting pressure on retailers to work with poultry processors to do more to tackle campylobacter. We want the industry to reduce the number of the most highly contaminated chickens as we know this will have the greatest impact on public health.
"Campylobacter is killed by thorough cooking, but it should not be left to consumers to manage the risk.
Richard Lloyd, director of the Which? consumer group called the current levels of contamination "unacceptable".
"While four major supermarkets have made their action plans public - The Co-operative, M&S, Tesco and Waitrose - the remaining three have yet to say how they're planning to tackle this bug.
"People need reassurance that supermarkets are doing everything they can to make chicken safe. The remaining retailers must publish their plans and commit to action now before consumers lose confidence in them."
Huw Irranca-Davies, shadow food and farming minister, labelled the results "disappointing", particularly after the horsemeat scandal.
"Consumers will rightly expect that all retailers take this issue extremely seriously and put in place robust measures to tackle the industry-wide challenge of reducing levels of contaminated chickens.
"After the horsemeat scandal and the recent allegations of hygiene failings in the poultry industry we need a better plan to restore confidence in the food sector. Labour will make sure that a transparent Food Standards Agency puts the consumer first and is able to challenge the industry to improve standards."

Here is my question: The rushes I'm using were shoot in 4K anamorphic scope. And the output frame ref is 2:39. It means that I'll have to scale up my clips to 142% to fit the DOP frame
Is there a way to apply automatically this scale to every clip I'll add to my timeline?
One way I found is to put all the rushes in a timeline, apply the scale to one clip then paste the attributes to all clips. And then edit by copy/paste from that timeline to the one I'm editing in. So I'm not using the "academic" method of sending the clip in the source viewer to put an IN and OUT. But it's quite enoying because, for instance, every time I make a match frame I loose the scale and I have to apply it after anyway.
