Girls Night Out - Smokey Blues

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another makeup look from my Caress Girls Night Out Event.

My friend Karla was wearing a sexy leopard print dress and I wanted to pick makeup that fit the occasion.

To me, animal print can often be a neutral color.

As a result, I went for a smokey eye (can't go wrong with that), but decided to mix it up.

Click here to see more!A lot of people who aren't used to color get a little scared when you try to apply something outside of the neutral category.

The key is to use a "safe" color, in this case silver, and place it on the lid so that it fades into your brighter color.

That way, the whole eye isn't too vibrant, but you can still add color in the middle and outer part of the lid.

I picked more of a royal blue tone so that it would be a bit more wearable.

I used the bright royal blue from my Best of Both World's Yaby Palette.

I also used a darker blue from my Barbie Stila palette as the outer v/contour color.

Karla was one of my last models in my chair.

I think I had about 15 minutes to do her makeup...not too shabby right?

It helps that I have most of my makeup in palettes...it makes for quick mixing and matching.

I loved how it came out...it really made her eyes pop, and I think the guys agreed because they couldn't keep their hands off her at the club, wink wink.

That's all for now, stay tuned for more makeup breakdowns from Caress Girls Night Out event!

While a variety of pillows exist in the market today, none have the specific purpose of simultaneously giving neck and back support, while also allowing adjustment of the firmness, as well as providing a convenient air pump to inflate the pillows for desired firmness and a convenient storage bag.

The present head and chest support kit fills that void.

The kit provides a convenient way to store and carry head and neck support pillows.

In addition, a user can regulate the desired firmness, thus allowing the pillows to be adjusted to the user's constantly changing needs.

The kit comes equipped with a pneumatic pump for quick and easy inflation of the head and chest pillows.

The storage bag gives an excellent place to store the components and a means of carrying them.

Dog walkers have been warned about deliberate attempts to kill their animals after cocktail sausages laced with poison were found at a popular walking spot. A clutch of sausages stuffed with poisons were found on the Cuckoo Trail, a path running from Hampden Park to Heathfield near Hailsham. The grim discovery comes after a spate of dog poisonings in nearby Brighton and Hove, and dog owners are now being warned by Sussex Police to be aware when they are out walking their animals. A man out walking his dog found a clutch of cocktail sausages with poisonous pellets inserted into them . The cocktail sausages were so densely packed with the poison that eating just one could have killed a dog. They were found hidden among grass on the trail. Photos of the Cuckoo Trail sausages were posted on the Doggy Style pet service page. The post said 'Walking along the Cuckoo trail in Hailsham at approximately 6pm this evening, I have found a quantity of cocktail sausages that appear to have a as of yet an unknown substance deliberately inserted into them. 'So this post is hopefully to help make other owners aware of the possible dangers. The sausages were loaded with the poison (left) and found hidden among the grass (right) on the trail . 'Thankfully I have a search dog that is able to indicate if something doesn't smell right, but please watch any dog off the lead as they were not in eye sight but easily consumed and in multiple places along the trail. 'Hopefully this is the action of some bored mis-guided youth, (which I'm sure this isn't the case!) but personally I find this premeditated, calculated with actions of someone who knows what they are doing.' Dogs that have been poisoned may show the following symptoms; . * Vomiting . * Diarrhoea . * Seizures . * Blood in the stool . * Lethargy . * Loss of appetite . * Bruising . * Nosebleeds . * Discoloured gums . If dogs display any of these symptoms they should be taken to a vet straight away. If possible take the packaging or sample of the poison with you. Do not attempt to medicate dogs yourself, or encourage them to vomit using salt water. If the skin or fur is damaged wash them with a mild shampoo and rinse well with water. Keep poisoned dogs away from other animals to avoid cross contamination.

Hong Kong (CNN)An impressive art collection assembled by the late actress and Hollywood icon, Lauren Bacall, has officially been offered for purchase. The collection, which includes works by some of the greatest artists of the 20th century, went under the hammer in New York on March 31, following a tour of Hong Kong, Paris, London and Los Angeles. Bacall, who died in August 2014 at the age of 89, first shot to international fame in 1944 with her first film, "To Have And Have Not." That was also when the husky-voiced starlet met her future husband, Humphrey Bogart. At the recent 2015 Golden Globes, George Clooney paid tribute to the silver screen queen in his award winning speech. "I don't remember what awards Lauren Bacall won, I just remember her saying: 'You know how to whistle, don't you Steve. You just put your lips together and blow.'" said Clooney, referring to one of her most legendary lines from her first movie. The 750-piece collection, which fetched a total of $3.64 million, featured bronze sculptures, jewelry, and a number of decorative arts and paintings, which were sold at Bonhams auction house in New York. "Her collection is truly a reflection of her extraordinary taste and remarkable life," said Jon King, Bonhams' vice president. Among the 50 items highlighted in the auction preview were six bronze maquettes by Henry Moore, Britain's greatest 20th century sculptor and one of Bacall's favorite artists, whom she developed a close relationship with. One of them sold for close to $120,000. Also for sale were some of Bacall's most loved jewelry pieces, created by legendary French designer Jean Schlumberger, most known for his work at Tiffany & Co. A rose diamond camel brooch by British jeweler Elizabeth Gage fetched $23,750 and was accompanied by the original drawing and correspondence from the designer, which shows the close-knit relationship Bacall had with Gage. The wide-ranging collection was expected to appeal to a variety of collectors: fine arts and antiques dealers, fans of Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, as well as memorabilia enthusiasts. Most of the items auctioned come from the apartment in New York's Dakota Building that she shared with her second husband, actor Jason Robards, until 1969. But King said fans of Humphrey Bogart would have been pleased to know some of the items were also from their shared residence in Los Angeles. King, who got to know Bacall in her late years, said the collection reflects the actress' eclectic taste, and there was only one principle she applied to collecting: . "Everything had to kind of speak to her, to catch her eye. She loved form, she loved texture, she loved color. And she loved mixing it all up. She said that when you walked into her house, what she liked was that it was never boring," King said. "You could walk into the same room a hundred times, and see something new every time."

(CNN)Thinking about presidential candidates?  Apparently, hormones are a major factor one should consider. According to one female businesswoman in Texas, Hillary Clinton shouldn't be president because her hormones might make her so irrational she'll start an unnecessary war. When George W. Bush waged an unnecessary war in Iraq -- was his testosterone to blame? As Cheryl Rios, the CEO of Go Ape Marketing, sees it: "We're built differently, we have different hormones. In the world that we live in, I understand that there's equal rights and that's a wonderful thing and I support all of that. I don't support a woman being president." "With the hormones we have there is no way we should be able to start a war," Rios wrote in a Facebook post. If Rios is concerned about hormones impacting decisions in the Oval Office, she'd be better off worrying about the male candidates for president. Throughout history, male hormones have indeed impaired some male leaders' decision-making. Studies show that women leaders take fewer unnecessary risks than their male counterparts. If science doesn't convince you, just Google "cheating politicians" for the long and sordid list of men like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mark Sanford and John Edwards, whose hormones got the best of them. Rios has taken a lot of flak for her "biblically" inspired beliefs, but she's not the only one who's arguing that a woman's hormones are a legitimate leadership concern. Time magazine declared Hillary Clinton the "perfect" age to be president, because she's a postmenopausal woman who is "biologically primed" to lead. (She also happens to be a former first lady, senator and secretary of state.) I'm not joking. Believe me, I wish I were. No wonder Jon Stewart left "The Daily Show" before the election cycle ramps up in full swing. If discussions about a candidate's hormones are what we have to look forward to, the state of presidential politics is depressing indeed. But underneath the biochemistry debate is a much scarier consideration: The bias against women in the workplace is so well established that even in 2015, a female candidate will be hard-pressed to get elected unless we have a serious discussion about ending gender bias. We want to believe that we live in a world where our daughters can do anything and be anything. And you'd think they could -- they outnumber boys in college, graduate school and the work force. But what will limit their potential is not biochemistry or ability, but a bias in how women and girls are viewed. Unfortunately, Cheryl Rios' view of women is not unique. Some people believe women have "our place" and that place is not at the table. They'll tell your daughter to "go for it" but believe she isn't qualified to fulfill her dreams. In a compelling series about women and work, Wharton School professor Adam Grant and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg lay out the startling facts about the bias women face at work and the profound benefit of eradicating gender stereotypes. The evidence of bias is undeniable and the examples are endless. It's overt: There are more men on corporate boards named John, Robert, William or James than there are women on boards altogether. The bias is also covert: When students rate their favorite professors, they describe the men as "geniuses" and the women as "nice." The bias is real, yet so many of us are blind to it. Hillary Clinton might not be the perfect candidate, but the fact that she is a woman will make her road to the White House a much steeper climb. That's not just a problem for Democrats -- it's a problem for Republicans, Independents, everyone. The fact is, equality benefits everyone. It's better for the bottom line (companies with more women in leadership roles make more money).  It's great for kids because children with involved fathers are happier, healthier, and more successful. It's great for marriages because couples that share responsibilities have stronger marriages.  And it's great for corporate teams because diverse teams and companies produce better results. Our nation, our economy and our families would be much stronger if half of our companies were run by women and half of our households were run by men. It's not enough to say to our daughters: "You can be anything you want to be." What we need to say is: "You can be anything you want to be, despite what some people might think -- and what they think is wrong." Rios said that if Clinton is elected, she is "moving to Canada" because "a female shouldn't be president."  Apparently Rios knows as much about women and leadership as she knows about Canada: Kim Campbell became the country's first female prime minister in 1993. Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Canadians elected their first female prime minister, Kim Campbell.

A businesswoman worries that if Hillary Clinton becomes president, her hormones will make her go to war .
Mel Robbins: What's scary is that the bias against women in the workplace is still going strong in 2015 .

(CNN)Thousands sought refuge in temporary shelters in South Africa after mobs with machetes attacked immigrants in Durban, leaving at least five people dead, an aid group said Thursday. Heavily armed police have scrambled to stop clashes this week after local residents accused immigrants from other African nations of taking their jobs. The attacks in Durban killed two immigrants and three South Africans, including a 14-year-old boy, authorities said. "There has been an outpouring of support from ordinary South Africans who are disgusted with the attacks not only because they are foreign, or African, but because they are fellow human beings," said Gift of the Givers charity, which is helping those seeking refuge. "We are preparing aid packages for those who may journey onwards to their home countries." The charity said about 8,500 people fled to refugee centers or police stations this week because of the violence. That doesn't count anyone who fled their homes to other, private accommodations, the group said. It said it hopes the violence is limited to Durban, but assured immigrants that it has a facility in Johannesburg to help those who might need shelter there. "We have tents and all essential supplies on standby but pray that sanity prevails and this does not become necessary," it said. In the past, Johannesburg has been the epicenter of anti-immigrant tensions. In 2008, scores were killed in attacks in the poorest areas of Johannesburg. Most of the victims were Zimbabweans who had fled repression and dire economic circumstances. In that attack, police arrested more than 200 people for various crimes including rape, murder, robbery and theft.

    Note that only TensorFlow is supported for now, therefore it only works
    with the data format `image_data_format='channels_last'` in your Keras
    config at `~/.keras/keras.json`.
    Parameters
    ----------
    include_top: bool(True)
         whether to include the fully-connected layer at the top of the network.
    input_tensor:
        optional Keras tensor (i.e. output of `layers.Input()`) to use as image input for the model.
    scale_factor:
        scales the number of output channels
    input_shape:
    pooling:
        Optional pooling mode for feature extraction
        when `include_top` is `False`.
        - `None` means that the output of the model
            will be the 4D tensor output of the
            last convolutional layer.
        - `avg` means that global average pooling
            will be applied to the output of the
            last convolutional layer, and thus
            the output of the model will be a
            2D tensor.
        - `max` means that global max pooling will
            be applied.
    groups: int
        number of groups per channel
    num_shuffle_units: list([3,7,3])
        number of stages (list length) and the number of shufflenet units in a
        stage beginning with stage 2 because stage 1 is fixed
        e.g. idx 0 contains 3 + 1 (first shuffle unit in each stage differs) shufflenet units for stage 2
        idx 1 contains 7 + 1 Shufflenet Units for stage 3 and
        idx 2 contains 3 + 1 Shufflenet Units
    bottleneck_ratio:
        bottleneck ratio implies the ratio of bottleneck channels to output channels.
        For example, bottleneck ratio = 1 : 4 means the output feature map is 4 times
        the width of the bottleneck feature map.
    classes: int(1000)
        number of classes to predict
    Returns

Kelly: Oh! Oh! Can I pick the first question?
Jessica: Sure. Go for it!
Kelly: What's the scariest place you've been to!
Jessica: I'll start: Palermo in Italy.
Mickey: And what's so scary about that? Did you break your nail? :P
Jessica: Shut it, Mickey! No, there are the Capuchin Catacombs with 8000 corpses!
Kelly: Ewwww! Corpses? Rly?
Jessica: Yeah! And you can look at them like museum exhibits. I think they're divided somehow, but have no clue how!
Ollie: That's so cool! Do you get to see the bones or are they covered up?
Jessica: Well, partly. Most of them were exhibited in their clothes. Basically only skulls and hands.
Mickey: I'm writing this one down! That's so precious!
Ollie: Me too!

The scariest place for Jessica was the Capuchin Catacombs in Palermo.


Carrie: Just back from Fantastic Beast :)
Gina: and what do you think?
Carrie: generally good - as usual nice special effect and visuals, an ok plot, a glimpse of the wizarding community in the US.
Alex: Sounds cool. I was thinking of going this weekend with Lane, but I've seen some bad reviews.
Carrie: Depends on what you expect really - I have a lot of sentiment towards Harry Potter so, I'm gonna like everything the do. But seriously the movie was decent. However, if you're expecting to have your mind blown, then no, it's not THAT good.
Gina: I agree. I saw it last week and basically I'm satisfied.
Alex: No spoilers, girls.
Carrie: no worries ;)
Carrie: And Gina, what do you think about Eddie Redmayne as Newt?
Gina: I loved him <3 I loved how introverted and awkward he was and how caring he was towards the animals. And with all that he showed a lot of confidence in his beliefs and was a genuinely compassionate character
Carrie: not your standard protagonist, that's for sure
Gina: and that's what I liked about him
Alex: Maybe I'll go and see it sooner so we can all talk about it.
Carrie: go see it. If' you're not expecting god-knows-what you're going to enjoy it ;)

Carrie and Gina saw "Fantastic Beast" and liked it. Ginna loved Eddie Redmayne as Newt.

This is what makes employees happy -- and it's not their paycheck

Despite common belief, money isn't the key to employee happiness, new research finds.

A study by hiring software provider Cangrade revealed that being intellectually stimulated is the most important aspect of an employee's job satisfaction. Specially, those surveyed said intellectual stimulation accounts for 18.5 percent of their job satisfaction.

That's compared to money, which accounts for just 5.4 percent of how happy an employee is with the job. Achievement and prestige, power and influence, work-life balance and affiliation and friendship were all rated more important to job satisfaction than money.

"These findings are quite surprising, because employers often assume things like income are the strongest drivers of happiness in the workplace," said Steve Lehr, Cangrade's chief science officer. "In fact, our research shows that it may be the weakest."

Researchers developed a three-part formula for employers who are eager to keep their staff happy:

Try to ensure that jobs provide intellectual stimulation and task variety. Give employees some autonomy, influence and opportunities to acquire prestige and recognition. Employers should give employees these things even when they don't say they need them. Give them even more if they say they do.

Employers should give all employees a break now and again, including the consummate workaholics who say they don't want or need it.

Offer employees extra money, security and social opportunities. However, only to the extent they say these things matter to them.

"If there is a major takeaway here, it's that we can finally prove that money doesn't buy happiness, and that happiness isn't as elusive as we might think," said Cangrade CEO Michael Burtov.

The study was based on surveys of nearly 600 U.S. employees.

The Reason Why Gabor Kiraly Wears THOSE Trackie Bottoms

June 14th 2016 3.3K Shares

They may look like the sort of apparel you'd usually sport on the morning after 12 pints, just so the elasticated waist can provide enough give to support two hangover curing trips to Maccy D's and an evening Domino's, just for good measure, but Gabor Kiraly has made a name for himself by wearing grey tracksuit bottoms, as a professional footballer, for the last 16 years.

But, why?

Why would you favour a pair of pants that look like they might have been found in the lost property bin of a secondary school? Are they fused to him? Are his legs allergic to grass? Is he constantly hungover?

In fact, the reason the oldest player at Euro 2016 wears those snazzy, grey marl bastards is down to a longstanding superstition or "kabbalah", as he explained during an interview, in 2005:

"The more good games I had in them, the more I got used to them. I had many good games in them, especially at Hertha Berlin in the Champions League and with the Hungarian national team."

He'll be hoping they provide Hungary with plenty of luck during the European Championships.

He looks like he's had them since Year 6 P.E.


The Rock is destined to be the 21st Century 's new `` Conan '' and that he 's going to make a splash even greater than Arnold Schwarzenegger , Jean-Claud Van Damme or Steven Segal .


The gorgeously elaborate continuation of `` The Lord of the Rings '' trilogy is so huge that a column of words can not adequately describe co-writer\/director Peter Jackson 's expanded vision of J.R.R. Tolkien 's Middle-earth .


Singer\/composer Bryan Adams contributes a slew of songs -- a few potential hits , a few more simply intrusive to the story -- but the whole package certainly captures the intended , er , spirit of the piece .


Yet the act is still charming here .


Whether or not you 're enlightened by any of Derrida 's lectures on `` the other '' and `` the self , '' Derrida is an undeniably fascinating and playful fellow .


Just the labour involved in creating the layered richness of the imagery in this chiaroscuro of madness and light is astonishing .


Part of the charm of Satin Rouge is that it avoids the obvious with humour and lightness .


a screenplay more ingeniously constructed than `` Memento ''


Good fun , good action , good acting , good dialogue , good pace , good cinematography .
