I Noticed This Tiny Thing On Google Maps. When I Zoomed In… Well, Nothing Could Prepare Me. Go ahead and search for the coordinates 16°51’53″N, 11°57’13″E on google maps or google earth, and take a look at what you see. At first glance it may just appear to be a barren and empty desert. But zoom in further and you’ll find that there’s something more to see. When close enough, at that spot, there’s a surprising and amazing image that looks like an icon of a silhouetted plane. And there’s a very specific reason for the plane symbol being in that otherwise empty desert. Read on for the full and very touching story. In September of 1989, UTA flight 772 was scheduled to operate between Brazzaville in the Republic of Congo and Paris CDG airport in France via N’Djamena in Chad. A bomb exploded in the luggage area, causing the flight to break up over the Sahara Desert. The plane wreckage was strewn over miles and miles of desert, about 400 miles away from the nearest town. The site is so remote that some of the pieces still remain there today.
Little Family Fun: Easy Kite Craft for Kids! Our final Kite-themed activity was making this easy kite craft! This was a joint effort by LB(3) AND LL(1) and myself. How to make it: Out of a piece of white paper, cut out a kite shape.Let your child paint (we used watercolors) their kite however they desire (this was LB's job) Get out another piece of white paper and have your child paint it however they desire (this was LL's job, AND her very first time painting! After the papers have dried, use a hole-punch to make a small hole in the bottom corner of the kite.Cut a long piece of yarn (however long you want it for the kite string), and tie it through the hole. Out of the other sheet of painted paper, cut out 3 (or more) bow-shapes. There you have it!
Drip, Drip, Splatter Splash Korean Cosmetics Archives - The Wanderlust Project So by now you’ve seen countless articles detailing the billion steps in a Korean skincare routine. You know that you gotta cleanse (or double cleanse at night), exfoliate, tone, use an essence and/or serum, then your emulsion, then an eye cream, THEN finally your cream. Then you have the extra stuff: the sheet masks and spot treatments and sleeping packs and all sorts of things. First things first, keep in mind that you don’t necessarily have to use Korean skincare products in a Korean skincare routine. One of my favorite things about Korean cosmetics is that each brand has multiple skin care lines, so if you have acne prone skin, you can head to Etude and pick up the AC Clinic line, or if you like Innisfree you can pick up the entire Jejubija line. And third, start off small. 1. 2. Splurge: Clarisonic Mia2Save: Klairs Black Sugar Scrub, SkinFood Black Sugar Scrub 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Extras: sheet masks, spot treatments, eye masks, lip treatments, mists, sun creams, sleeping packs etc. WHEW!

6 Photoshop time savers for web designers | Jonathan Nicol Like many web designers, Photoshop is my tool of preference when it comes to doing website mockups. As such, I spend a decent chunk of my time working with the program, and have picked up a number of techniques that speed up my workflow. I’m not talking about creating shiny image reflections, or beveled starbursts, but rather simple tricks that shave a few minutes off your working day so you can go home earlier. 1. Instant dotted lines2. 1. For some unfathomable reason, Photoshop’s line tool doesn’t allow you to create dotted lines, which is a shame, because dotted lines are something web designers use with great frequency. Step 1 Create a new 2×1 pixel Photoshop document, and hide the background layer. Step 2 Press Ctrl+A (Cmd+A on a Mac) to select the entire canvas, and choose Edit > Define Pattern. Step 3 To apply the pattern to a layout, create a new layer in your document and use the marquee tool to make a selection that is 1 pixel high and as wide as you want your dotted line. Step 4
5 Common Cebuano Grammar Mistakes We Always Make When it comes to our own language, we were never taught ‘saktong batadila’ (correct grammar) in school so grammar mistakes can be condoned. Meanwhile, Filipino is going to be scrapped in college. Is it time for the Cebuano language to shine? Anyway, most on the list is taken from Jun Tariman’s blog: juntariman.wordpress.com So here’s the list of common grammar mistakes we always make: 1. Wrong: Taga adlaw ko mosakay og jeep. Correct: Taga Mandaue ko. Correct: Kada adlaw ko mosakay og habal-habal. 2. Wrong: Si Teban og Goliat maayo mupakatawa. Correct: Si Teban ug Goliat… Wrong: Mokaon ko ug saging. Correct: Mokaon ko og saging. 3. Wrong: Naligsan siya og dako na truck. Correct: Naligsan siya og dako nga truck. Correct: Nahuman na ko sa akong project. 4. Example: Asa mo manglakaw? Example: Hain man ang kutsilyo? 5. Wrong: Naa nako ang pinakadakong saging sa Sugbo. Correct: Naa nako ang kinadak-ang saging sa Sugbo. Correct: Naa nako ang labing tam-is nga bibingka sa Mandaue. Do you have anything to add?

Cebú—1904 IMPRENTA DE «EL PAIS» Page 2 Por el tenor de las presentes y por lo que á nos toca, damos licencia para que pueda imprimirse y publicarse la Gramática Anglo-Visaya escrita por el R.P.Fr.

In presenting this English-Bisaya Grammar I do not pretend to be considered an author, my only aspiration is to be useful to my Américan brethren in the priesthood, in order that they in turn, may be so to the Bisaya people.

Korean Skin Care Routine | Saranghae 3) Essence/Serum This is a super important step that a lot of people here in the US skip - which is really unfortunate... I cannot stress how important this step is to transforming your skin or maintaining youthful, radiant skin. What the heck is essence anyways? An essence is very similar to a serum, but is usually lighter and has a more liquid-y consistency. 4) Emulsion Okay, so emulsion may not be for everyone, so depending on the season and/or your skin type, you may or may not need to use am emulsion. When I think of emulsions I think salad dressing...what the heck is emulsion as a skincare product? AT NIGHT... Don't panic if you have oily/acne prone skin! 2) Cleanser Again, focus on a gentle cleanser, not one that will strip moisture away from your skin! 3) Toner Use the same toner as the morning, or use a different one- either is fine! 4) Essence/Serum I would highly using a different essence or serum as the one you use in the morning. 5) Night Moisturizer ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK...
