What a difference a haircut makes!
- and a few days without the difficult treatment
Front no more red as a tomatoe
I have never in my life looked so much in the mirror as during the three weeks of Efudix cream treatment, and now, after hoping the front will finally heal
Should i regret my haircut? At least I felt better a day
A - I wish I looked like her
B - I wish I had her doll
C - too cool for school
Severe blythe + human envy going on right about now :)
One of the lookalike comp entrants. I'm very annoyed with myself I didn't get a pic of Gaia and Mini G. Hmph. Probably was too busy fawning over how awesome this one was, I think.

Students pitch in change to make a difference for the CDA
By Ambria Hammel | May 21, 2009 | The Catholic Sun
The annual Charity and Development Appeal is getting a welcome boost from an unlikely source: students.
Thousands of students across the diocese’s 35 school campusesfound ways to donate a coin or two to help the less fortunate living among them. Since February, many have been dropping their spare change, and sometimes bills, into a chapel-shaped bank with their school’s name and CDA logo on it.
The final total will come before school lets out for the summer.
“I have heard very positive results with the students being an integral part of the CDA and understanding about sharing from their own blessings,” said MaryBeth Mueller, superintendent of Catholic schools.
She added that four schools brought in more than $8,000, largely through fundraising projects.
“I think the students began to understand better the idea of stewardship and how a little can and does make a difference. Whether it is your time, talent or your treasure, every little bit helps,” said Sr. Yolanda Mendoza, IBVM, campus minister at Notre Dame Preparatory in Scottsdale.
Students learned about the CDA from teachers who addressed justice, the economy and other social issues. The chapel-shaped CDA bank — which the Notre Dame staff pushed around on a cart during breaks and lunch — became a way for the students to begin addressing some of those social ills.
School officials were surprised by the students’ cooperation with the CDA. They put a little bit of change in the bank whenever they could.
“We don’t have to do the extraordinary,” Sr. Mendoza said, “we just need to do the ordinary well.”
That’s the same idea that administrators at St. Theresa School tried to show their students: a little bit can add up to a lot when everyone does a little something.
All 575 students spent the Lenten season donating what money they could to the CDA. St. Theresa’s student council presented an updated total every week during opening prayer.
“We always made sure that we told the kids to the exact penny so that they got the idea that every penny counts,” said Sr. Patricia Gehling, SSND, principal.
The school adopted its own “Pennies Make a Difference” theme to show the students that even pennies can greatly impact a large fundraising effort like the $10.2 million CDA. The theme also fits into St. Theresa’s yearlong focus, “We Make a Difference.”
Students at Xavier College Preparatory heard every day about the CDA’s local impact. During daily announcements, the student council talked about the CDA and how it helps students like themselves and seminarians.
The announcements were telecast into every classroom. That meant all the students could see the CDA chapel bank with their school’s name on it beside the announcer. It served as a reminder to donate.
Each morning at Xavier also began with the CDA prayer.
“It really heightened their sense of the CDA in the context of stewardship,” said Sr. Joan Fitzgerald, BVM, Xavier’s principal.
Their new awareness resulted in immediate action.
The students held penny wars and “buck-a-jean” days earlier this year with cash benefiting the CDA. Most of the school participated in the “buck-a-jean” day.
Student leaders also asked their peers to make a personal sacrifice — such as a latte — during March and donate that money instead to the CDA.
For students at St. Peter Mission School in Bapchule, donating any amount of money to the CDA showed a personal sacrifice. But that didn’t stop them from digging into their pockets.
The students held several fundraisers this year including a “no uniform day” if they donated to the CDA and a two-mile benefit walk for the appeal.
“All monies plus extra donations by children, staff and parents became ‘CDA money,’” said Franciscan Sister Martha Mary Carpenter, principal at St. Peter. “CDA is so generous to us that we would like to give back as much as we can.”
They have collected $731 in change and small bills so far.
At press time, the CDA has raised nearly $8.65 million, which goes toward helping thousands of Arizona residents who are served by more than 70 diocesan and community agencies.

Cassie Nova, the Nova's good clone in DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 Empires2018
I notice as I was looking through my characters photos, my MC(Main Character): William, his CG (Covergirl) wife: Wilma Sue and his MA (Main Antagonist): Victor all have a copy of themselves except for BCG ("Bad" CoverGirl) Nova who did not have one.
I decided to alter my character list and create Cassie Nova.
Her story,
Cassie Nova is the results of a fail attempt by Nova to have a "back-up" baby from Victor when she was a teen. The attempt fail creating a nonfunctioning embryo.
Royce, the father of my MA, when correcting Nova's body before her second battle with Victor's fiancée, created the baby clone of Nova from the dysfunctional embryo(A body replacement in case she failed to win).
Note: Royce's powers are equivalent to Marvel Comic's "Cosmic Cube" at the cost of losing much of his life force. EVERY time he exerts the power it shortens his life span.
When Nova left Earth, Nova's parents raised the baby after they were granted custody of the embryo.
Nova would later travel back in time, WITH PERMISSION, to visit her parents. When Nova learned of the teenage Cassie, Cassie was kidnapped by Nova from her "parents".
Failing to convert Cassie to join her "sister" and not having the heart to kill "herself", Nova gives Cassie to my MC's forces because Cassie was missing and NEVER found in the 24th Century(She cannot be returned to that timeline).
Cassie's first name comes from a maternal second cousin who paid for the original Nova's schooling.
So che anche uno scimmione dalla fronte sporgente e con le sopracciglia perennemente aggrottate ed una mammutthina tondeggiante dagli occhi sbarrati possono stringersi e sentire che va bene così, che la loro è una famiglia.
Perché stare assieme è sapere guardare alle differenze con serenità, eventualmente sfruttandole come punto di forza per aiutare a superare i danni e le ferite della propria storia personale.
Perché stare assieme è saper chiedere scusa quando si riconosce di aver sbagliato ed inavvertitamente ferito proprio a causa dell’unicità tipica di ciascuno, è sapersi esporre con onestà senza temere un giudizio tagliente, è avere la fiducia che lo sguardo dell’altro saprà essere anche compassionevole e comprensivo, perché l’affetto sincero sa lenire ogni ferita e non sa serbare rancore.
Abbandonarsi alla comprensione ed alla cura reciproca non significa ignorare ciò che divide e che ci pare spesso come un difetto, ma significa crescere assieme tenendosi per mano.
A volte è vero che in certi momenti servono due mani e la presa si può anche lasciare per qualche tempo, ma quando il contatto vero è stato sperimentato, anche solo per un momento, resta sempre la forza di credere che nuovamente, dopo del tempo, si potrà tendere la mano ancora sapendo che l’altro tornerà a stringerla.
Pride.be - Pride 2018 - Your Local Power
Feeling free and at home in your neighborhood, town or city. Be and show yourself in the streets. Holding hands with the person you love and smiling at each other in public. Our personal lives occur in the public space. Considering the approaching communal elections, everyone (youngsters, seniors, families, couples and all people - no matter what gender or orientation) asks the local politicians: How do you make a difference? What do you do to improve diversity in our everyday life? Where the rain makes way for the sun, we will walk proudly under the rainbow!
We will all be heading to the voting booths for the local elections on 14th of October. Deciding which circle to colour in is an important decision. A conscious decision can lead to a better living environment in your city or municipality.
And we're not just talking about the redesign of the local park, the policies in the municipal school, or the proper functioning of the local Public Centre for Social Welfare. Your local municipal or city administration can also make a real difference and turn the place where you live into a true rainbow bubble, if that's what you'd like, of course.
So it's no wonder that this year's Pride is focusing on the local elections. Belgian Pride is putting the municipalities and cities in the limelight in 2018, or better yet, at the end of the rainbow! We want the slogan 'Your Local Power!' to encourage municipal and city administrations to enact explicit, integrated local LGBTI+ policies.
Municipalities and cities can and must make the difference. They must accept responsibility for the well-being of all their residents. Flying the rainbow flag at the local government offices during the Pride period is a symbol of this. This is also a way that the municipality or city can show their solidarity with the LGBTI+ community. This symbolic gesture is not an infringement on neutrality. On the contrary, we can only actively work on ending all forms of discrimination once there is recognition for diversity and inclusion.
Policy-makers can make the lives of many citizens that much rosier by taking both small and large actions: by introducing a diversity charter in sports clubs, by making information on gender and sexuality available at the local libraries, by providing logistical and financial support to local associations, testimonials, and courses in the municipal education system, by holding a queer film festival in the local movie theatre or cultural centre, by holding LGBTI+ actions in community centres and youth centres, by providing information on what to do if you are the victim or witness of discrimination, by offering space for intimacy and (LGBTI+) sexuality in assisted-living centres, by training local police precincts and municipal officials, by including Equal Opportunity as an explicit competence within the city administration, etc.
The list of things that cities and municipalities can do is endless. Plus, many of these actions are very easy to implement. Sometimes, your local administration only needs a little boost, and you can give them that boost in the voting booth on 14th of October. A good local administration meets the needs and requirements of all residents. What does the LGBTI+ community in your city or municipality need?
You can already send the politicians a signal that is loud and clear on Saturday, the 19th of May. Make your wishes heard during the Belgian Pride.
We hope to see you there! Everyone is welcome!

Craftivism: Making a Difference in the World~ One Stitch at a Time
KnitLit group, spring 2011 Haverstraw Middle School, Haverstraw, NY
People are doing it. They are doing it on subways, in restaurants and on airplanes. They are doing it in baseball stadiums, movie theaters and in the park. They are doing Craftivism and everywhere you turn you can find people of all ages, races, creeds and religions participating in what has become a global phenomenon of making the world a better place- one stitch at a time.
The term “craftivism”, hybrid of the words craft + activism, was coined in 2003 by creator and knitter, Betsy Greer. It is a movement based upon the idea that a person’s time and talent can really make a difference in the world. Most craftivists are knitters and crocheters looking to find different and more meaningful ways to share their craft and it is being used to bring attention to a multitude of causes. Craftivists help to bring about positive change in the world through their skills.
Some of the causes targeted in the craftivism movement are environmentalism, anti-capitalism, anti-sweatshop, anti-war a well as various personal causes such as breast cancer awareness, literacy, homelessness, domestic violence and children born into poverty. Knitters and crocheters around the world participate in covert “yarn-bombing” escapades, mimicking graffiti street art only with hand knitted fabrics sewn around trees, light poles and statues using their art to beautify the things around them.
It is here that I introduce you to New Yorker Betsy Rodman, a fellow knitter and craftivist. Betsy is the founder of Project Scarf. Project Scarf is bringing knitters from all over the world to join in creating the world’s longest scarf. Separate sections of knitted scarves are sent in to and assembled by Betsy to form a larger scarf. What does one do with the world’s longest scarf, you might ask? When the project is complete, the sections will be disassembled and the individual scarves are distributed to various organizations to provide to help keep warm those who have little.
Betsy also founded the KnitLit program in her local school. This program teaches kids the skill of knitting. Squares are knitted and sewn together to form blankets which are also distributed to those in need. The kids involved in the program choose where to donate. However, this ain’t your grandma's knitting bee- these kids also listen to great books on audio and discuss them as they are knitting. Betsy has had tremendous success in her school and hopes to one day be able to bring KnitLit to schools across the nation. I got to ask Betsy a few questions about herself and her programs.

Percent difference calculator equals the absolute value of the change in value, divided by the average of the 2 numbers, all multiplied by 100. We then append the percent sign, %.Percent increase and percent decrease are measures of percent change, which is the extent to which a variable gains or loses intensity, magnitude, extent, or value. The figures are arrived at by comparing the initial (or before) and final (or after) quantities according to a specific formula. It is assumed that both the initial and the final quantities are positive (larger than 0).
Here are the main differences between erotic massage and exotic massage. Now that you know how to distinguish between these two types of massage, you can make an informed decision regarding which of the massage would you like to have or want to specialize in the massage school.

The name notwithstanding, the Auto-Takumar 55/2.2 uses a semi-automatic diaphragm. It closes automatically to shooting aperture; but it must be manually re-cocked to full aperture using the silver lever seen on the top.
The Super-Takumar has an instant-reopen diaphragm. It also has a slider at the 2-o' clock position switching between auto and manual diaphragm, which functions as a depth of field preview if desired.

No difference between the Democrats and the Republicans? Just look at the Supreme Court, who gets nominated and who makes the nominations.
Ya like Scalia and Roberts? Perhaps you want more from Alito and Clarence Thomas? Want corporations to have the ability to make unlimited contributions to political campaigns? Ya love corporate power? Ya like the result in Bush v. Gore or the Citizens United case? Vote Republican for President.
On the other hand, just in case you are a moderate or - especially - a liberal, well ya know what to do..........
Supreme Court Justices serve for life. There are only nine Justices. Once appointed they are accountable to no one. Think about it.
When I first started trying to take water drop photos I was thrilled to just get some kind of image in a single drop. It was a bonus if it was in partial focus. And with great satisfaction I would crop around that one featured drop and happily post. Later, as my water drop-taking skills evolved, I started thinking about contrasts and compositions and such, but it was still usually centered around a single drop or so. Minor changes in positioning made a huge difference to composition, and that was fun to learn. Small changes to the aperture to get the right depth of field so the background was seen but did not distract from the drop itself took some learning - and made getting more than a few drops in focus very difficult. For a couple of years now that is where my evolution in water drop photography stopped. But now I'm thinking the next thing to play with is macro panoramas. Sounds like an oxymoron, I know. But in effect, a "water drop wide-angle" - where a much more challenging MANY water drops are in focus, and share interest with a larger scene - not just a macro crop. So bear with me while I practice in public on both some old and some new stuff. Here we go - macro landscapes!
Boxty (bacstaí) is a traditional Irish potato pancake. The dish is mostly associated with the north midlands, north Connacht and southern Ulster, in particular the counties of Mayo, Sligo, Donegal, Fermanagh, Longford, Leitrim and Cavan. There are many recipes but all contain finely grated, raw potatoes and all are served fried.
The most popular version of the dish consists of finely grated, raw potato and mashed potato with flour, baking soda, buttermilk and sometimes egg. The grated potato may be strained to remove most of the starch and water but this is not necessary. The mixture is fried on a griddle pan for a few minutes on each side, similar to a normal pancake. Traditional alternatives include using only raw potatoes, boiling it as a dumpling or baking it as a loaf. The most noticeable difference between boxty and other fried potato dishes is its smooth, fine grained consistency. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxty
What a difference one week makes. Jet stream forecast; 11.01.2017. 15.00. High winds were obvious over the night and day but gentler than those preceding 12 hours earlier. Temperature at around 5 degrees this afternoon before the the influential, windchill factor so doesn't exactly feel comfortable.
"The jet stream consists of ribbons of very strong winds which move weather systems around the globe. Jet streams are found 9-16 km above the surface of the Earth, just below the tropopause, and can reach speeds of 200 mph."

The Magnificient Frigate Bird (Fregata magnificens) and Great Frigate bird (Fregata minor) are similar.
Differences are described at:
eebweb.arizona.edu/courses/galapagos/expert%20topics%2020...(bonine)/Tollefson_Frigatebirds.pdf
Great frigatebirds are
difficult to distinguish from magnificent frigate birds. A table of differences follows:
Great frigatebird Males - Brown band across wings
Magnificent frigatebird Males -No brown bands
Great frigatebird Females - White feathers on chin, throat, and breast
Magnificent frigatebird Females
White on throat and breast only
Great frigatebird -Red eye ring
Magnificent frigatebird- Blue eye ring
Juveniles
(1 yr)
Great frigatebird -White head with some rusty color on it
Magnificent frigatebird -White head

The Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens) was sometimes previously known as Man O'War, reflecting its rakish lines, speed, and aerial piracy of other birds.
It is widespread in the tropical Atlantic, breeding colonially in trees in Florida, the Caribbean and Cape Verde Islands. It also breeds along the Pacific coast of the Americas from Mexico to Ecuador including the Galapagos Islands.
It has occurred as a vagrant as far from its normal range as the Isle of Man, Denmark, Spain, England, and British Columbia.
The Magnificent Frigatebird is 100 cm (39 inches) long with a 215 cm (85 inch) wingspan. Males are all black with a scarlet throat pouch which is inflated like a balloon in the breeding season. Although the feathers are black, the scapular feathers produce a purple iridescence when they reflect sunlight. Females are black, but have a white breast and lower neck sides, a brown band on the wings and a blue eye ring. Immature birds have a white head and underparts.
This species is very similar to the other frigatebirds and is similarly sized to all but the Lesser Frigatebird. However, it lacks a white axillary spur, and juveniles show a distinctive diamond-shaped belly patch.
The Magnificent Frigatebird is silent in flight, but makes various rattling sounds at its nest.
This species feeds mainly on fish, and also attacks other seabirds to force them to disgorge their meals. Frigatebirds never land on water, and always take their food items in flight.
It spends days and nights on the wing, with an average ground speed of 10 km/hour, covering 223±208 km before landing. They alternately climb in thermals, to altitudes occasionally as high as 2500 m, and descend to near the sea surface (Chastel et al. 2003). The only other bird known to spend days and nights on the wing is the Common Swift.
A scientific study that examined genetic and morphological variation in Magnificent Frigatebirds found both expected, and also highly unexpected results: firstly—as predicted by the flight capacity of the species—the authors found signatures of high gene flow across most of the distribution range. This included evidence of recent gene flow among Pacific and Atlantic localities, likely across the Isthmus of Panama. This geological formation is a strong barrier to movement in most tropical seabirds. However, the same study also found that the Magnificent Frigatebird on the Galapagos Islands is genetically and morphologically distinct. Based on this study, the Galapagos population has not been exchanging any genes with their mainland counterparts for several hundred thousand years.[1]
Given these findings, the Galapagos population of this tropical seabird may be its own genetically distinct species warranting a new conservation status. This small population of genetically unique Magnificent Frigatebirds is a vulnerable population. Any catastrophic event or threats by humans could wipe out the approximate 2,000 Magnificent Frigatebirds that nest on the Galapagos Islands. Magnificent Frigatebirds are currently classified as Least Concern (LC)' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, but the Proceedings of the Royal Society paper recommends that, because of the genetic uniqueness of those on the Galápagos, this status be revisited.
Ford's Anglia was a popular car in the early to mid. 1960s. Here are just two of the varieties produced. On the left of the photo is HMB307C, a rather nice 105E powered by a sprightly 1500cc engine. It was first registered in 03/1965. Alongside is 613HWP, a Thames 5cwt van. Based on the Anglia, Thames was the commercial side of Ford, this 2ltr. powered van was first registered in 11/1962. I think they are owned by the same owner. They are seen here on display at Kirkby Stephen Business Centre during the Cumbria Easter Rally, on 16/04/2022. This well attended event was returning after a three year hiatus due to you know what. © Peter Steel 2022.
