Whenever you place a new number, see if that opens up a new row or box. Let your eye scan the puzzle to find another place on the grid with new possibilities. If you get stuck, don’t concentrate too hard on one part of the grid. In the above example, the box now has a 5, and that may help you solve that 3×3 area, or might help you solve the lines that cross that area. Seek the Missing NumbersĪs you fill in the easy solutions, you may start to find other missing numbers that are easy to place. Filling these blanks will get you on your way to a solution. The same may be the case for one or two missing numbers in the smaller boxes. A line might be missing a 5 and a 6, but a box along that line will already have a 6 in it, so you know this blank must be a 5, and the other blank must be the 6. Many puzzles will leave one or two blanks either in a line or in a box. Here are a few tips that can help beginners solve sudoku puzzles: 1.

![]() He called them "those folks," and his remarks, in many people's eyes-I think deservedly so-weren't terribly strong. ![]() Part of it, I guess, was that I was out of practice, maybe part of it was just the magnitude of the day.Ĭan our president stand on his own two feet?īut the president went to the gym and was talking basically off the cuff. It's one of my regrets I wish I could have done more that morning to have written something. The president started to write, Dan started to write, and it was just cobbled together. But I had a hard time writing it nothing was coming to me. He was going to go there, explain something about what happened to the World Trade Center, and then get to Air Force One. I started to write what I thought President Bush should say, because he was going to go to the gymnasium, where he had been scheduled to give a big speech to everybody outside the classroom the bigger group was waiting for him and all the press was in there. We were just working the phones-he was working the phones, Andy was working the phones-all trying to get information. The president motioned to the press that he would talk with them later. My instructions to my press advance staff were to get the press out of there as quickly as they could. I wrote on the pad and then the press started to ask questions of the president. ![]() Moments later, Andy walked in and did what I said yesterday, whispered in his right ear. I looked at my pager and I just went like this. I had never seen that until nine years later. ![]() Interestingly for me-I had not seen this until three weeks ago-I was watching one of the specials about 9/11 and it showed me getting that second page on TV and I saw my reaction. I received a second page telling me the second tower had been hit, and I instantly knew it was terrorism. Then he went into the schoolroom and was reading to the kids. He was going to say in that briefing room, as I indicated yesterday, that the federal government would make resources available to New York to help deal with the plane hitting the World Trade Center. Maybe it was later that you could see the fire-but he knew enough to know that the building was on fire and New York City had to fight this. We talked informally-I guess somebody had wheeled in a TV at that point, so we could see the fire. She didn't really have any information and he directed her just to monitor it, keep him apprised, and let him know what's going on. He went into the hold that day and Condi was waiting for him on the phone. But if he came here, for ten minutes in this room, you would have a room down the hall, guarded by a Secret Service agent, that would be the hold, where the military would have set up phone lines. In my eight or nine months, I had never seen the president use the hold. He got to the end of shaking hands and Karl was the first one to get to the president and whispered in the president's ear, "The World Trade Center has been hit by an airplane."Įverywhere presidents go, a hold is set up, and inside the hold are two secure phones. We got to the school and the president was shaking hands with people, the superintendent, the principal, along the inside wall of the school. ![]() The page said, "World Trade Center has been hit by an airplane." Like everybody, my first reaction was that it must have been some terrible accident there was no indication of the size of the plane. You could respond by saying, "Yes, no, maybe, five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes," and it had these preprogrammed messages. I thought, These are really sophisticated pagers. We were getting out of the motorcade at the end of Booker Elementary School in Sarasota and I received a page-Back then there were no BlackBerrys, just an old-fashioned pager.

If I got 12 plus hours a sleep a night I’d be all over Glossier Stretch Concealer like peanut butter on jelly but that’s not the case. Who uses it? Show of hands! I know a lot of people who love this stuff and it’s quite nice but just not something I use daily. No seriously, Glossier Stretch Concealer is one of those things I picked up when it first launched but never got around to reviewing yet people still ask me, “Have you tried it!?” and I’m always like, “Damn! I need to review Glossier Stretch Concealer for these people!”Īnd here I am, finally, taking a moment to share my thoughts. The brand was quietly discontinued in February 2020.My Glossier Stretch Concealer ($18) review is well past the date of expiration! I hope no one gets food poisoning reading it as this should have been posted two years ago or more. Glossier Play responded by doing so, but the damage was already done. "What were they thinking," wrote one, while backlash on Glossier Play's Instagram page (now private) encouraged the brand to tweak the packaging. The Insta-famous pink bubblewrap pouches and sticker sheets came under fire for being wasteful, too, as Redditors took to the platform to share their frustration. It was the beauty brand that no one - not least, the environment - needed, and fans were up in arms about Glossier's blatant disregard for sustainability. Products like the eye Gelée were packed with non-biodegradable glitter, wrapped in foil packaging and housed in cardboard boxes. Glossier fans might remember its sister brand Glossier Play - a color cosmetics range of "dialed-up beauty extras." But the excitement generated by the brand's launch was soon dampened. Layoffs and labeling errors are just a handful of missteps that Glossier has taken in recent years. If Glossier kept its aesthetic but had better products and a better overall vibe, I would spend there." The products are overhyped." Similarly, Alicia said she doesn't want to encourage her thousands of followers to buy products which she calls "fluff." She told R29: "I work hard for my money and want to make sure it goes far. I've found the cleansers leave a residue on the skin and I don't feel really clean. "It p*ssed me off the mascara was marketed as vegan when it wasn't," said Ellie. The website claimed that Lash Slick was vegan, when it actually contained beeswax - those who had bought it unaware were eligible for a refund. For her, leaving the brand was a result of a mascara mishap. "I've been a longtime Glossier fan," wrote one on the r/BeautyGuruChatter subReddit, "but it doesn't excite me with the new launches." Another commented: "As an early Glossier skincare fan, after repurchasing once or twice, naturally I have moved onto other higher-performing skincare with better ingredients as I get older and willing to spend more." Ellie* is a former Glossier customer. ![]() The account has not posted since 19th December 2020. ![]() "Thank you for educating us! Definitely won't spend $ here!" wrote one, while another commented: "No more Glossier for me then." Despite the furore, Glossier didn't meet Outta The Gloss' demands. It wasn't long before TikTokers made viral videos spreading the word and the brand started to fall out of favor among longtime fans. "Multiple times, I, and other employees, expressed concern over the racism we faced and were told to 'feel empowered to walk away.' When we asked what management would do, we were met with essentially nothing." Others say they voiced concerns about limited shade ranges only to earn "negative reviews" and "low raises." The account encouraged a boycott and amassed 11.5k followers and lots of support, even catching the attention of CEO Weiss. "The concerns of POC were never taken seriously," one employee told Outta The Gloss. In 2020, anonymous Glossier retail employees came forward with allegations of racism and toxic work culture, launching the Instagram account Outta The Gloss to voice their grievances. Skylar goes on to talk about Glossier's biggest scandal to date. ![]() |
