“ In school there were two things going on , '' the skincare blogger says .
`` There was my sexuality and then there was my skin .
I ’ d get bullied just for having acne on my face , which was obviously upsetting - but it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of view as well.
” As an 11-year-old in the 90s , Scott did n't have information on how to deal with his problems at his fingertips .

Skin products were marketed for women so I couldn ’ t go to the shop to go and get anything like kids could do today .
“ It was quite hard .
Because I asked my mum to get me stuff and she just got me what she could .
I think it was Clearasil .
It was the only thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ But the girls had a whole aisle and range of products .
“ I think it is more open and welcoming now in this era . ''

`` She sold me three items and I went back home and they were all wrong .

And that was n't the only experience .
“ I remember going out shopping with my girl friends from school and they were in that aisle [ women ’ s products ] and I was there with them .
I just felt like the staff were watching me [ thinking ] ‘ why is he in this aisle ?
’ “ I felt so insecure .
My confidence wasn ’ t great anyway growing up , '' Scott recalls .
He remembers thinking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stay outside .
`` Which is crazy to say because now , it doesn ’ t even bother me , I don ’ t care , '' he says .
“ It took me a while to get there .
Just because I was knocked back I suppose for nearly a decade .
That is a big chunk of my life being judged and talked down to .
It really knocked my confidence .
“ It took ten years to get out of that shell of mine .
I was head on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my head up high , I think I was just so damaged from comments.
” Now , things have changed to the extent that Scott gives his own sister skincare advice .

I know the industry and everything has changed since I have grown up but there are some people out there that are just starting to use it .
“ I never even thought I ’ d @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It ’ s always been a part of my life and such an important part of my life .
Even now as an adult I still suffer from acne.

He recently launched a new series , Celebrity Skin Talk , which focuses on celebrity skincare and features everyone from stars of the Real Housewives of Cheshire and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ I really didn ’ t think it ’ d have taken off like it has , ” Scott says , describing how he has now contacted by parents of children with experience of acne and bullying .
“ They said how thankful they were to have someone to speak up as their kids are asking them what to do , but they as parents didn ’ t know what to do until they had read about it and then they found my page , ” he explained .
“ It really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when parents messaged me saying 'thanks for speaking up ' .

"Step two, add a dash of Crème de Menthe.
"Step three, carefully add Irish Cream.
"Step four, add Grenadine.
"Drink up!"
Graveyard Shift
The Graveyard Shift cocktail created by @garnish_girl is a coffee-infused treat featuring crumbled Oreos.
The main alcohol used in this concoction is coffee but you can switch it to a different spirit of your choice.
For the drink you will need 1.5 oz Oreo-infused Vodka, 3/4 oz coffee liqueur, 1 oz espresso and 1/4 oz vanilla simple syrup.
Shake and strain the ingredients into a cocktail glass of your choice and then top with lightly sweetened vanilla whipped cream and crumbled Oreos that resemble soil on a grave.
The Upside Down
This shimmering dark red cocktail was created by the Crowded Kitchen Blog.
You will need 3 oz silver tequila, 1 oz Triple sec (or other orange-flavoured liqueur), 6 oz unsweetened cranberry juice, 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz lemon juice, 1 oz simple syrup, 6 raspberries and 6 blackberries, 1/2 oz tart cherry extract, 1/4 tsp edible pearl dust (optional).
Method:
Muddle 3 raspberries and 3 blackberries in a tall cocktail glass. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice, then add tequila, triple sec, cranberry juice, lime juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. Pour into cocktail glass. In a small measuring cup or glass, stir together tart cherry and edible pearl dust.
Once the cocktail has been made, garnish with two upside down blackberries threaded onto a needle resting on the rim of the glass.
Midnight Margarita
This Midnight Margarita recipe was created by @laurenpalmer.
To have a go at recreating the drink yourself at home, you will need 1 cup lime juice, 1 cup tequila, 1 can cream of coconut, 1/4 cup triple sec, salt and ice.
Mix the ingredients in together then pour into a glass with a salted rim.
To make it dazzle, add some edible glitter and, to turn the whole cocktail green add a couple of drops of food colouring.
Grindelwald’s Goblet
This luminous 'colour changing' potion- created by @gastronomcocktails - is said to be inspired the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
The green colour is created by mixing orange juice with blue Curacao.
If you want to give the drink an extra spooky touch - add dry ice and a Halloween-themed garnish.
For this recipe you will need 0.75 oz Apple Brandy, 0.75 oz gold rum, 0.25 oz absinthe, 1 oz orange juice, 0.50 oz mango puree or juice, 0.25 oz freshly squeezed lime juice, a spoonful of Orgeat and 0.25 oz blue curacao.
Method:
Combine all ingredients except blue curacao in a shaker with regular ice. Shake to combine. Strain into a glass with ice. Pour in the blue curacao. Stir to combine. Add dry ice for effect, if desired!
Frankenstein's Punch (mocktail)
This recipe for Frankenstein's Punch was created by the Real Food team at Tesco.
Perfect for children, no alcohol is involved in the making of the punch - but if you're serving to adults you could always add a splash of rum or your favourite liquor.
Fizzy and fiery, the drink includes ginger beer, tangy limeade and frightening 'monster's eyeballs'.
(Image: realfood.tesco.com)
You will need 850g lychees in syrup, 9 black grapes, 9 white grapes, 1 ltr sugar-free ginger beer, 1 ltr sugar-free limeade or lemonade, green food colouring gel.
You can easily create the potion using Tesco's six-step method:
Drain the lychees, reserving the juice. Stuff the lychees with the grapes. Divide the lychee 'eyeballs' between 6 tumblers. Put the reserved lychee juice in a large jug with the ginger beer and limeade or lemonade. Add enough food colouring to turn the liquid a bright green. Pour it over the 'eyeballs' just before serving

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-31--Army drafted in for 'massive expansion' of 'turnaround' Covid-19 testing kits

The military will be further deployed to help roll out an enhanced programme of 'reliable and rapid turnaround tests ' for Covid-19 , the Prime Minister has said .
Boris Johnson said the government was planning a 'steady but massive expansion ' of the home self-testing kits .
And he said whole towns and cities could be tested in the future to stop the spread of coronavirus .
The PM made the announcement during a press conference on Saturday night , at which he confirmed a new , national month-long lockdown due to start on Thursday and run until December @ @ @ @ @ @ @ venues and non-essential shops will close , although schools , colleges and universities will remain open .
The 'turnaround ' tests enable people to test themselves at home - with Mr Johnson saying results would be achieved within 15 minutes .
The PM said the country now has access to using 'many millions ' of them .
Army personnel including the RAF have already started a delivery programme of the home-test kits in Birmingham .
The Army , Mr Johnson said , have been brought in to help with logistics and the programme @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' .
No further details were revealed .
The PM said the country has access to 'ever better medicines and therapies ' and there was a 'realistic hope of a vaccine in the first quarter of next year ' .
He said : `` We now have the immediate prospect of using many millions of cheap , reliable and above all , rapid , turnaround tests .
`` Tests that you can use yourself to tell you whether or not you are infectious and get a result within 10 to 15 minutes .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ country , in schools and hospitals , that we can use these tests not just to locate infectious people , but to drive down the disease .
`` And so over the next few days , weeks , we plan a steady but massive expansion of the deployment of these quick , turnaround tests . ''
Mr Johnson said they would be applied in an 'ever-growing number of situations ' .
He said : `` From helping women to have their partners with them in labour wards when they are giving birth to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` The Army has been brought in to work on the logistics and the programme will begin in a matter of days . ''
The PM said the programme would help people discover whether or not they are infectious - then 'immediately ' help them to self-isolate to stop the spread of the disease .
Mr Johnson said the potential overrunning of the NHS if no action were taken would be a 'medical and moral disaster , beyond the raw loss of life ' .
He said : `` Doctors and nurses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to treat , who would get oxygen and who would n't , who would live and who would die .

He added: “The risk is, for the first time in our lives, the NHS will not be there for us.”
Here are the key points from the Prime Minister's announcement tonight.
How long will it last?
The lockdown will be put in place from Thursday, November 5 to December 2. Boris Johnson said the three-tier system would then be introduced regionally upon its conclusion.
Stay at home
People must stay at home as much as possible, the Prime Minister said, and are only allowed to leave in certain circumstances.
Mr Johnson insisted the new national lockdown is not the same as the 'full scale lockdown' of the spring because, for example, schools were now staying open.
“But I’m afraid from Thursday the basic message is the same: Stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives,” he said.
You are only allowed to leave home in certain circumstances.
These include:
For educational purposes such as attending school
For work purposes if you cannot work from home
To shop for essential items such as groceries
For medical reasons such as appointments
For exercise and recreational purposes outdoors
To provide care for the vulnerable
To attend places of worship
Any household mixing between households will be banned from 12.01am on Thursday - indoors and outdoors. You will be allowed to meet one other person in a public space not from your household - but only if you are on your own.
Non-essential shops to shut
Pubs, restaurants and non-essential shops will shut, with only essential shops allowed to stay open. Casinos, gyms, leisure centres and other non-essential businesses will be closed, including hairdressers. It is also thought golf clubs will need to shut.
Schools staying open
Schools, nurseries and universities will remain open.
Playgrounds will also be allowed to stay open.
Travel restrictions
People must only travel for essential reasons, which includes work. People will be urged to avoid travelling outside of their area and staying overnight elsewhere will not be allowed, except in limited circumstances.
People will be 'expected' not to go on holiday.

Furlough extended
The Prime Minister said: “I’m under no illusions about how difficult this will be for businesses which have already had to endure such hardship this year and I’m truly, truly sorry for that – and that’s why we’re going to extend the furlough system through November.
“The furlough system was a success in the spring, it supported people in businesses in a critical time. We will not end it, we will extend furlough until December.”
He said the measures would be time-limited from November 5 to December 2, when restrictions would be eased and regions would go back into the tiered system.
The Government will extend furlough payments at 80% for the duration of the new national lockdown measures in England.
Childcare, shielding and support bubbles
There will be no change to childcare and support bubbles.
One household of any size can ‘bubble up’ with a household that only has one adult in it and those two can then act as if they are in one household, as long as the arrangement is exclusive.
Childcare bubbles - which allow informal childcare for kids under 14 - will remain as they are now.
Shielding won't be resumed, Boris Johnson said, but the ‘clinically extremely vulnerable’ - the more than 2m people who shielded last time - will be asked to minimise contact with others, and not go to work if they’re unable to work from home.
Professor Whitty said it was right that vulnerable people who were shielding during the previous lockdown continued to take extra precautions this time around, adding: “We learnt a lot from last time with the shielding programme – some of the things worked but some of the things did not.
“There were both some practical problems, and there was also the issue of people having significant problems with loneliness and feeling completely cut off from society.
“What we’re trying to do is avoid those downsides to shielding, whilst reinforcing the message that for people who are particularly vulnerable they do need to take even greater precautions than the general public.”
Elite sport to continue
The Prime Minister confirmed elite sport will be allowed to continue, including the Premier League.


themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-31--How the new lockdown coronavirus rules are different from Tier 3

But what is the difference between a national lockdown and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ follow under Tier 3 ?
More than eight million people , predominantly in the north of England , have been living in 'very high ' coronavirus alert areas .
Greater Manchester moved into the toughest set of restrictions under Tier 3 on Friday , October 16 .

On the other hand, a national lockdown means the whole of England is affected.
It means areas formerly in Tier 1, where households could mix, must also now follow tough rules.
While shops could stay open in the former three-tier system, including under Tier 3, a national lockdown means only essential services can continue.
Therefore, non-essential shops and hospitality businesses such as restaurants must now too close, including gyms and hairdressers.
However, takeaways and deliveries are permitted.
Educational settings will remain open alongside places of prayer and manufacturing and construction has been encouraged to keep going.
In Tier 3 it was advised to limit journeys, but now under the national lockdown, there is a ban on non-essential travel. You must only leave your home for education, work, exercise, to shop for essentials, to provide care or for medical reasons.
Similarly to the old rules for certain geographical areas, households are banned from mixing indoors and outdoors. The only exception is two people from two households meeting in a public open space.
Like in Tier 3 where restrictions had a four-week sunset clause, the national lockdown will last for a month.

The 23-year-old has been impressed with what he has seen from Van de Beek and argued that, if his training performances are anything to go by, then he will soon prove to be a big hit on the pitch.
McTominay told United Review: "Donny van de Beek is a great lad and a brilliant football player.
"I'm sure, the way he is working in training and how hard he's working, his time will definitely come to get more minutes on the pitch.
"I spoke to him a little bit and he's a top kid.
"The way he applies himself every day, he is never late - always on time - and always trains to his absolute maximum.
"We have got a really, really good player and really good person there."
