My heart was warmed as I read this touching tale. This morning in the Authorâs Corner weâve Award-winning Childrenâs Author Wanda Luthman here to tell us all about a most joyous event she attended this past Friday. Good morning campbellsworld visitors mommies and daddies of wee ones everywhere. Have reblogged onto campbellsworld with the following⦠I’m thankful that my books will be part of the fabric of their lives to encourage them to be the best little people they can be! I have no doubt they will be wonderful! Available on Amazon I can’t think of a better place to spend my time. I have great faith in the children coming up, even in this crazy world. It was heart-warming to see the next generation parenting so well. I’m so grateful that I was able to spend some time with these wonderful women who value reading to their children and understand the need for community with other Moms. I took the opportunity to share my upcoming Halloween book (Hayley the Halloween Cat) with the children and they are definitely interested in seeing it once it gets all done and made into an actual book! I think they enjoyed it! They clapped afterwards. I read my book and interacted with the children by asking questions and clarifying a few big words. A couple of children sat in their Mom’s lap. The 3 year old children sat right in front of me and kept their eyes on me the whole time. It was perfect!Īfter about 30 minutes of playtime and Mom’s visiting, we made our way to the living room. There were bright colors and kid-friendly chairs. It was bright with hand-painted pictures hung up on the wall with tape. And when you look back, it’s the best time of your life! You feel like you’re not going to live through this time. There’s bottles on the sink, there’s projects left undone. Toys are never quite all the way put up because they are in the midst of being played with. I remember the days of having a young child in the house. I can say that because I’m the Mom of a grown child. There’s times when you think you can’t take it one more moment and then your child looks at you and says in their sweet angelic voice, “I love you, Mommy.” That’s when you realize you wouldn’t want it any other way. Ah, the joy’s of being a parent! It was beautiful!īut, this is what parenting is all about right?! There’s stress but there’s laughter and hugs and quiet moments and loud moments. Each Mom knew their child’s cry and they were quickly attended to and comforted and then went back to playing while at the same time, Moms were catching up with each other. There was laughter and tears (when someone’s finger got caught on something or a head bumped) but those were short-lived. One girl had gorgeous curls and so did one boy. She had an adorable flamingo shirt on for the event. There was a little girl who was shy (I, too, was shy as a child so I knew how she felt) and she didn’t want me talking to her but she did eventually get over the fact that I was in the vicinity and started playing with the host’s child. It was super cute! The host’s daughter was very outgoing and engaged everyone. They played with the toys available and interacted with each other. They were all about 3 years old and under. I should have counted the children but I lost track after 8.

It was based on John Napier's discovery of logarithms. The first one was built by William Oughtred, a cleric teaching math in England in the 1600s. Each section has scales - numbers and line marks for calculations. They are divided into thirds, the top and bottom are fixed in place, but the middle section slides back and forth. Slide rules are typically rectangular and about the size of a ruler. "The size of a sewer pipe, the weight-bearing ability of a cardboard box, even rocket ships and cars." The museum just ended a three-year exhibit on slide rules. "The slide rule is an instrument that was used to design virtually everything," says Deborah Douglas, the director of collections and curator of science and technology at the MIT Museum in Cambridge, Mass. It's said that Buzz Aldrin needed his pocket slide rule for last-minute calculations before landing. NASA engineers used slide rules to build the rockets and plan the mission that landed Apollo 11 on the moon. That seemingly simple tool has a serious resume.

Overall, the best contour kit in this post is Kat Von D’s, because the powder practically blends itself, which is what all beginners need. Whether you are a powder or cream fan (or both), I have you covered. In summary of the best contour palettes for beginners (and all skill levels), each of the kits reviewed here will effortlessly provide a chiseled look with a variety of tones to create depth. Cream contour can also be used after foundation, but before powder. Cream contour can be used before foundation application, which is known as underpainting.

You can choose a contour palette based on your needs, as well as skin tone and budget. While powder is the most familiar, cream does have a learning curve. Powder contour is best for beginners, because it is easy to blend and to build along with your other makeup products.

STEP 6: Apply your highlighter using your highlighting brush. Then, use your kabuki brush to very lightly blend this color around your cheek area to create a blended look with even color distribution and no harsh lines. STEP 5: Using a blush brush, smile slightly and apply blush to the apple of your cheek swiping up at a slight angle. Once spread, I use the bigger end in a blotting motion to blend the color into my foundation. I spread to cover my under eye to just above my cheek bone and extend to the side of my face slightly. STEP 2: Use the smaller end of the beauty blender to start spreading the concealer out under your eye. Since I use it for both, I opt for a a shade 1-2 shades lighter than my foundation.

Other new systems-armored vehicles that might not be quite ready for battle but certainly should, at this point in their development, be available in sufficient numbers for parade duty-just haven’t grown. And, despite all the ambitious talk about how the new tank was out “in the field” and working through production kinks in Syria, Russia somehow only has three examples ready to show in the Red Square parade-the three-tank parade fleet has remained steady for three years now. Russia’s new main battle tank, the T-14 Armata, made a Victory Parade debut in 2015. After revealing a number of new-and much hyped-armored vehicles in 2015, Russia’s arms factories have evidently been unable to build parade-ground ready demonstrators. Tank transporters have never gotten such recognition in prior parades.Įven more interesting is that Russia seems unable to grow the number of advanced weapon systems. In a sorry effort to boost the number of systems on parade, the Russians are even highlighting the lowly tank transporters employed to carry Russia’s poor-performing unmanned ground system, the Uran 9. Artillery and multiple rocket launch systems have mostly disappeared, represented by a single class of 152 mm self-propelled howitzer and an “updated” version of the old 122mm Grad multiple rocket launcher-a battlefield system that was cutting edge back in the 1960’s.
