Walking into the exhibition I was really surprised at how packed it was, the amount of people that were there was insane! Every stall was really busy, it was a little bit of a push to get around but overall the atmosphere was brilliant. Everyone seemed to be really excited by what was around them, I know I certainly was.
The second thing that surprised me was just how huge the exhibition was. The first thing I wanted to do was get my bearings on where things were, I think I walked around for 20 minutes trying to figure out if there was a flow to the room and it wasn't until walking around several times I started to realise certain areas where for specific things.
The hobbycraft exhibition was in the same hall which I thought would of been separate and I later realised was where I started off. Wondering around that part was brilliant. They had every craft you could think of, each stall had friendly faces, they seemed to be really excited to educate people on their crafts and demonstrate how to use products which I thought was a brilliant thing. I personally am someone who learns by actually "doing" and I get a lot more engaged in something if I'm actually physically doing an activity and I pick things up quicker that way too. I have a load of supplies and products I have no idea how to use or what to do with them and I think if you're talking to someone and being shown how to use it and have a go at using it, you're a lot more inclined to buy the product that way.
Walking around I didn't get a sense of pressure to buy things, which from visits to the clothes show or other exhibitions where stalls are you can get. I got the feeling it was more so about creating inspiration and educating people on all the different crafts out there.
This pictures above (and the first picture) was my favourite part of the day, there I was just wondering around, taking photos and I spotted these amazing balls of knitted chains on a table. When I walked over to take some photos this lovely lady asked if I'd like to join in and be apart of a World Guinness record, I mean who could say no to that?!
So I sat down, she handed me some knitting needles, a ball of wool and was on hand to help me if I got stuck. She did ask if I knew how to knit and luckily I did but I noticed there was people around who was showing each other different ways and certain techniques. It was such a lovely atmosphere and so therapeutic to sit there and knit with ladies I'd never met before and it was so comfortable.
I was most excited for the sewing part of the exhibition as it's got to be my favourite thing to do! Being surrounded by so many beautiful fabrics is my idea of heaven - no joke! and boy oh boy there was plenty of beautiful fabrics and so many trimmings! There was plenty of patterns on sale too to get the inspiration juices flowing and I really had to be strict with myself not to go wild and buy things.
There was a part of the exhibition which had these amazing pieces of well art. Look at them they're incredible! I really foolishly didn't read up on them, I was just so taken away by the talent so I regret not reading who created them and what it was in aid of. But it just goes to show that there is no limit to what you can create.
I can't stress enough how much inspiration there was flowing through this exhibition and how great it was to see a mixture of people there. There was groups of young girls walking around getting excited by the fabrics and cute groups of older women nattering over how long they've been dress making. It was brilliant.
One thing I was really impressed with was the amount of demonstrations and groups to get involved in. They had plenty of sewing machine companies there on hand to show you how to use their products and classes on how to create beautiful home decorations. There was talks and demonstrations on how to up-cycle your old clothing and turn them into great new garments. Seeing all the different types of sewing machines was fantastic, I've never seen an embroidery machine in use before and although I never got to have a go on one I was watching a lady use one and I'll say it again the fact the machines where there for you to use and sample was such a great touch!
The fact that there was experts there on hand to answer any questions really did it for me and overall I can't think of anything that put me off this experience. It was a fantastic day out and I learnt so much! My favourite thing was the fact you can sit down and get to play with new crafts and have a go at making something you never knew about. I cannot recommend this exhibition enough if your into your crafts or looking for something to be your new hobby, you will 100% find something here!!

Tesla introduces idle fee to improve supercharger availability
Tesla is introducing a fleet-wide idle fee at its Supercharger network to increase Supercharger availability.
Responding to the issue of drivers leaving their vehicles at Superchargers once fully charged, the company says that for every additional minute a car remains connected to the Supercharger, it will incur a $0.40 idle fee. If the car is moved within five minutes, the fee is waived.
In its blog post, Tesla said: "To be clear, this change is purely about increasing customer happiness and we hope to never make any money from it."
It added: "We envision a future where cars move themselves once fully charged, enhancing network efficiency and the customer experience even further. Until then, we ask that vehicles be moved from the Supercharger once fully charged. A customer would never leave a car parked by the pump at a gas station and the same thinking applies with Superchargers."For more of the latest industry news, click here.

What Exactly Is Full Chest/Breast Massage
First of all this will be different experiences for different people depending on who you are, how you identify, the shape and size of your body, the amount of work needed in and around the chest as well as your physical, neural and emotional state during each session. Not every full chest massage is a therapeutic breast massage and not every therapeutic breast massage is a full chest massage. I will cover more of that and the different types of full chest and/or breast massage on the "How Page".
Therapeutic Breast Massage Protocol
For this page I am going to focus on a therapeutic protocol developed by Aubrey Lesicki BS, LMT and how I integrate that into my massage when requested, and only when requested (I will never touch your breast tissue unless specifically asked to do so). It is a self-massage protocol known as the PHAST method and you can learn more about it directly from Aubrey on her website.
In order to be therapeutically effective when performing a therapeutic breast massage and still have the work be experienced as an integrated part of an overall amazing, relaxing and non-invasive massage experience, I have worked each of the therapeutic PHAST techniques into my Deep Lomi Flow.
The components involve manipulating the client's arm (like a water pump) while gently compressing in and around the armpit area in order to open the lymph pathways. Pressing the breast directly into the chest wall in order to help move the deep lymph fluid between the breast and the chest wall muscles. Using my hands or forearms lightly around the perimeter of the breast in order to stimulate the top layer of skin and nerves of the breast. Lifting and sliding the entire breast from side to side or up and down in order to reduce adhesions between the breast tissue in the muscle. Rotating the entire breast in opposite directions in order to break up adhesions in the glandular tissue.
Clothing/Sheet/Bare Skin: This can be done over clothing or through a sheet or towel. I prefer to work directly over the skin as long as the client is relaxed and comfortable with me doing so. Plus this allows me to do some very nice integrative work between the stomach, chest, shoulders and neck.
Aerola/Nipples: The work can include work done over the aerola and/or nipples or I can specifically avoid them (to the extent that I can identify them through clothing, etc.). Some clients choose to where nipple covers for modesty or sensitivity reasons, especially for the first appointments.
Me or You: I can work on your breasts or you can work on your breasts during your massage with as much instruction or help from me as you want.

3 CSS Frameworks worth checking out in 2016
Before we get under way, let's try and address the elephant in the room. Bootstrap. This is the big player and if your team is using it (most are) then it's quite possible you are going to have a hard time persuading them to change. But what if there was a better way? Well, reader, open your mind wide and read on because I promise you at least one of the 3 CSS frameworks mentioned in this article is definitely, at the very least, worthy of your consideration.
Step forward the candidates..
Pure is a CSS framework, nothing more, nothing less. Adding Pure to your site is very easy. You can add Pure to your page via Yahoo's free CDN. Just add one single include into your page's head, before your project's stylesheets.
Reasons to like Pure
- Pure is small (4.0KB* minified and gzipped).
- Pure grids offer arguably greater flexibility than Bootstrap.
- Pure's design is unopinionated, minimal and flat.
- Getting your head around new naming conventions that will seem alien at first.
- Getting your team to adopt a new way of writing code.
- Still in relative infancy.
- The CSS may be minimal, but there is some evidence of bloat in the required html for the menu – "pure-menu-item pure-menu-has-children pure-menu-allow-hover".
In a similar vein to Pure, Bulma is just a CSS framework. As such, the sole output is a single CSS file: bulma.css.
You can either use that file, "out of the box", or download the Sass source files to customize the variables. There is no JavaScript included. People generally want to use their own JS implementation (and usually already have one). Bulma can be considered "environment agnostic": it's just the style layer on top of the logic.
Reasons to like Bulma
- Easy vertical centering in fullscreen.
- Logical, memorable naming conventions.
- Flexible columns (columns that will take up the remaining space available).
- Magic Tiles feature looks interesting.
- Getting your head around new naming conventions that will seem alien at first.
- Getting your team to adopt a new way of writing code (especially one based on flexbox).
- Still in infancy.
- Are you really ready to use a flexbox framework for your clients site??!
Cutestrap, like Bulma, also utilises flexbox. It is also light, weighing in at just 8kb of CSS and characterises itself as 'a sassy, opinionated CSS Framework. A tiny alternative to Bootstrap".
Reasons to like Cutestrap
- Simple grid system, declare once and child elements will size themselves to be equal width to their siblings.
- Familiar naming conventions.
- Nice looking forms that are modified using only CSS so accessibility doesn't suffer.
- Grid system possibly reminiscent of tables.
- Same drawbacks as Bulma above.
What have been your experiences of the above CSS frameworks? Your opinions and thoughts welcome as always. For a list of more CSS frameworks see http://cssframework.net/.

Here's the next watercolor I just finished from one of my trip photos. A long time ago, my brother visited this church (it has our family coat of arms inside) and did his own drawing of it. At that time, there were no gravestones in the cemetery. When I was there, sections to the left and behind my view had gravestones, with just these few in the right section. But I also looked up a stock photo of the church and this entire area that is now grassy was previously filled with gravestones. The Swiss clear out their cemeteries every 25 years or so (maybe in this case, by sections). All the cemeteries we saw in Switzerland were fairly new, nothing more recent than the 1970's. A bit disappointing, as I was going to look for the grave of the great-great aunt of mine who was an artist there. But the Swiss don't have room to keep expanding their graveyards, and the idea that the person will only be buried there for around 25 years seems normal to them.
Now that I've posted this, and received some feedback, I know I'll be working on it some more. So you can look at this as a work in progress.

What a great non-profit!! They are so dedicated and caring and positive amidst the great challenges the Lakota on Pine Ridge face...and they are making a profound difference! There are so many ways to contribute that everyone can find something suitable for him or herself, whether it is an ongoing sponsorship with a child or family or elder that affords the opportunity to actually interact on a more personal basis, to contributing to a youth program, or things like the firewood program, the monthly food sharing program, bringing back the buffalo for food independence or simply picking an item or two off of the Okini (material giving) List and donating needed and requested clothing or bedding or non-perishable food or hygiene items or toys DIRECTLY to a family. You can feel confident that your money or gifts are being maximally utilized to make a genuine difference in circumstances of great need, and isn't that the reassurance that we want, especially when giving at distance?
I have been thoroughly impressed with how well the funds I'd donated were used. This all-volunteer organization channels every possible penny to help their projects succeed!
I found One Spirit while specifically looking for a non-profit organization that did work with the Lakota tribe in South Dakota. I am skeptical of non-profit organizations that ask you to send them money and trust entirely that it is going to the people you intend on helping. I was immediately impressed by the fact that One Spirit has programs that allow donors to connect, and contribute, directly to families-in-need on the Pine Ridge Reservation. I called One Spirit and was able to speak directly with the founder, Jeri Baker. Fast-forward to four years later and I have been able to get directly involved with several One Spirit programs like their support for a group of youth runners from Pine Ridge who attended the NY City Marathon. I have been working for several years now on the Charging Buffalo project that is working to help build a meat processing plant on the reservation that will allow the tribe to process meat that is harvested from their buffalo herd. This facility will provide jobs and help the Lakota people take a step towards food independence. One Spirit is truly an organization that will allow you to be as involved as you want to be in their projects. I am truly happy to contribute my time and money to this organization.
I am very pleased to be a continuing contributor to the Lakota Oyate through One Spirit. I know that almost all the money that I contribute goes to help the people. One Spirit is very informative about the needs and programs that money is going toward, and they are innovative and progressive in seeing and addressing needs in a variety of areas where they occur. I appreciate that One Spirit treats people with love and respect, as that is very important to me.
One Spirit is a very special place -- devoted and special people taking on a very steep challenge. I've been working with them for four months now, and I feel it's an honor to stand with them and the Lakota people. In an old phrase, they "do more with less". They are reaching thousands of people every month with innovative critical life-support, in an area of the USA that is too easy to ignore. I also find it impressive and fascinating that they are pioneering new ideas in "networking", building an international network of donors and sponsors who help provide direct relief by sending "care packages" directly to people in critical need. ONE Spirit people are climbing a steep mountain and they deserve high respect and support. Thank you!
So glad that this group exists and does such wonderful work. I have been able to help the families and children of the reservation despite the cultural gaps that exist between my family and the families of the reservation.
Great non-profit. The website allows anyone to help a family in need, not just by writing a check like other organizations where you have no idea how your money is being sent, but with sponsorship, needed clothing, and food while fostering intercultural relationships.
Great group of dedicated volunteers working in solidarity with the Lakota of Pine Ridge Rez.
This is the only service organization of it's kind for the Lakota people on Pine Ridge Reservationand the only non-profit endorsed by the Oglala Sioux Tribal Council. That's really saying something! They serve and advocate for the Oglala Lakota and the oyate love them.
I found One Spirit on a social media site almost 3 years ago, since then I have come to know how critical an organization such as this is needed for the Lakota people. I contacted One Spirit and requested information about donating to a family in need. In my third year I was blessed to sponsor a family and from the moment I requested a sponsorship from the staff to the day I enjoyed my first phone conversation with my new family, I've got to tell you that there is so much love and concern and support from One Spirit to the Lakota that you will not find a more honorable, loving, compassionate organization to become involved with. Enriching the quality of life among the Lakota, there is nothing more rewarding.
Im glad that there is one spirit,
Im sponsor and with your help I can donate quickly and directly, always with my heart and from deepest conviction for the Lakota
I visited the Pine Ridge Reservation a couple of months ago. I fell in love with the people and their vast needs touched my heart.
Since then I have found ways to help through One Spirit.
I am so very excited on the progress of the buffalo meat processing facility.
They did not wait until all of the funds were raised to begin construction!
The exterior walls are up,
the concrete is poured,
I think the water lines are in.
Now enough money has been raised
for the electrical.
The electrical materials arrived this week and the electrician is coming in!!!
In order to be USDA certified,
the interior walls will be expensive.
Also, freezers/coolers and equipment is needed.
It will take all of us spreading the word, donating and raising funds to have the facility completed by the spring
when it is needed.
I'll be helping financially and
I hope everyone who reads this will help.
With all of us together, the facility can be completed by spring.

One Spirit is a group of committed, generous, honest, kind individuals working to make a difference on a personal level in a place "conveniently" forgotten by all, and help develop intercultural friendships between the Lakota people and the rest of the world. Whether you choose to sponsor a child, send food to an elder, help bring buffalos back or participate in any of One Spirit's many programs, you know you're making a real difference in a real people's life – people you get to know and enjoy a friendship with. You know the money, clothes, food you send are going where they're needed. You know that only a tiny percentage of your donations is used to run the nonprofit. And more importantly, you know that you're part of something bigger; something that changes the world one person at a time.
ONE Spirit is an exceptional nonprofit. Not only do they provide hands on aid to people on the Pine Ridge reservation, but they do it with sincerity and encouragement, bringing together sponsors, and those in need, in a good way. Friendships develop, help is actualised with respect and warmth in the giving. Truly it is commendable. Additionally, the continued addition of new programs uplift the people in an empowering manner, that things are set in place for the now and the future, covering various populations, i.e., veterans, the elderly, the children; family structures of every kind.
In my experience sponsoring an elder, I have thus far been able to "meet" online her daughter and others of the extended family, seeing photos, "hearing" from the everyday sort of living to also points of art, activism and beliefs. It has been enlightening to find our connexions even with lives so far apart yet with commonalities too.
One fundamental belief I have as a Torah observant Jew, is the understanding of "tikkun olam" or repairing the world. Should there be anyone in need, it it is part of our path to help, in what manner we can, to uplift that person in their way, making the world a better place. Connecting the Lakota with others, assisting with the dire circumstances of their lives having and continuing several centuries of extreme trauma, a small bit of healing can take place, one by one.
I moved to South Dakota during the 90's with people I became friends with who are Lakota Sioux and were returning to their home state. Not only that I learned the culture of the people, I experienced first hand the reservation life and to know that much work is needed whether it's financial, educational, spiritual to improve the quality of life.
After returning to the east coast in 2000, I continued my support through social media and financial contributions when possible. Online, I discovered ONE Spirit and other groups in order to keep up with current events in South Dakota. Although I have no direct experience with ONE Spirit, I do promote their work through social media and like the domino effect, it does spread on the world wide web.
I certainly can simply say ONE Spirit continues to make every effort to improve and change lives.
The character and integrity that this organization exemplifies is only two of the many attributes it has. They work diligently to ensure nothing corrupts their purpose. They are dedicated to the strengthening of their food sovereignty and continuance of a culture that will benefit all of humanity. There are so few charities by which you can see daily how the recipients are benefiting from it. The vast majority of the funds go directly to the programs that are key to their basic survival. It is really a no-brainer to give to this stellar organization.
Previous Stories
Team One Spirit has the goal of taking care of the positive experiences and health of their people.
They do this with no glorified expectation of government handouts or the use of corporate wage earners to manage their program.
They are truly Of The People, By The People, and For The People, with no need for thanks and with a lot of volunteer efforts, because taking care of their own is what they do. I like supporting this group because I know it gets at the very root and basic needs of their people, and because I know what it's like to go hungry and go for long periods of time without proper nutrition and basic clothing.
Very good, donations go directly to who needs them, they are quick to respond to any messages, good hearted people.
Previous Stories
There are just a handful of organizations that I regularly try to donate to. I support and respect One Spirit because it is driven by local communities coming together to help those in need among them. What could be more important than helping Elders make it through the winter, feeding children, getting school supplies to students, and providing a positive environment for teens. I know that whatever I send will go directly to those who need it, maybe passing between one or two hands before it gets there. No big outside organization sweeps in with poverty commercials. They keep people informed of their progress, highlighting all the positive things that are being done. While I usually donate or volunteer for local groups in my own state of Texas, I think the nation as a whole needs to step up and take responsibility for the conditions of our Reservations. Despite all the promises, the only way real change seems to take place is when people like One Spirit stand up and make it happen in their own communities. Much respect to those who do.
I love them. They genuinely care and are super great people.
If you're hoping to help Lakota families, One Spirit is the only non profit endorsed by the Oglala Sioux Tribal Council. It's unprecedented and speaks to how highly regarded an organization they are. 90% of every donation goes DIRECTLY to the oyate...not to salaries or overhead.

We all know him by now. He came, he dreamt and he conquered. He is trending across the global social media space because of the upset he caused. He is none other than Donald Trump, the 45th President elect of USA. Every external factor predicted his loss in the just concluded presidential election yet he rose above all and made history by securing a job or rather a career most believed he was never trained and thus never ready for. Drum rolls for the man Beside being the American Mr money bags, he now has another title for the next four year; POTUS thus the most powerful man on earth.
Love him or hate him, Trump has made history and there are quite a number of career lessons you can learn from him courtesy of the tight and very divisive presidential campaigns that preceded the voting. I have compiled six important lessons which I believe are quite key and can impact your career aspirations positively.
Dream big and own your big dream: When he first declared his interest to run for the top most seat in America, many thought the attention seeker was back at it again with his mischief. Unknown to the world, brother Trump "had a dream". He dreamt of being the occupant of white house and making America great again. He dreamt big and went on to work out his dream and see it come true.
In your career you must emulate POTUS elect and dream big. Set for yourself lofty goals that you want to achieve, goals that will make others stop and look at you like they just saw an alien. Then engage in a discipline of working toward the goal with persistence. Now its time to dream. Dream about one day being the CEO of the organization you are working for, dream about being the departmental leader, dream about being the authority and subject matter expert in your area of expertise. dream about being the figure that everyone in the industry will be making reference to as far as innovation is concerned. Dream big and start taking steps of action towards actualizing the dream.
Passion is a key ingredient for success: One thing that was so evident with Trump was the passion he had in what he believed he could be. The man had energy and he kept going. His amazing levels of energy trickled from his passion. I believe that his passion won over many supporters who would otherwise have abandoned him. His passion was and is contagious. It is his passion that made him withstand all challenges and difficulties he faced in the race to statehouse.
To take your career to the next level and the most highest level, you will need to incredible level of passion. Your energy and persistence will emanate from it. You must be consumed by your career ambitions that anyone spending time with you or near you can figure out what you like and enjoy doing.
Past mistakes should not be your present/future pitfalls: Well, Donald Trump has a past that no one will want let alone someone who would even dream of being the American president. His opponents including the mainstream American media used this as fooder in their campaigns against him but alas!!! Trump had a dream and his focus was squarely on the goal no matter what the past looked like. He chose to let the past be the past and spoke of what future he wanted for America. He controlled his own narrative and his present. He let the opponents talk about the past. At one point his own party planned to collect signatures from members to compel him to step down. Not Donald Trump. He stood firm and moved on and eventually won.
We all do have a past that could be stinking with failure. You could be having glaring failures and inconsistencies in your career path that sap of your confidence to move forward. Your colleagues and bosses could even be using it to remind you how incompetent you are, may be you have even been asked to consider changing your career path since you do not look like a "presidential candidate" with your current ambitions yet you strongly believe you are in the right space. Never allow past failures thrown your way to dictate your today and tomorrow. No matter how bad your career ambitions have been in the past you still can make a change and be who you dream of being.
Believe. Speak and work victory: When asked about conceding defeat to Hillary Clinton, Trump responded and said " I do not loose". This man knows the power of aligning his convictions to his confessions and actions. He believed in who he is and what he wanted to be and talked about it without fear. He has made his DNA read success and more success. Others saw it as being arrogant but he was just who he is, A VICTOR.
Once your dream big it's imperative to have an unshakable belief in what you want to be. Speak about who you want to be and act whom you want to be. To achieve your career dreams you must align your beliefs, your confessions and your actions and make them one and the same. When your aspirations are at the top of a mountains,, start talking of how you will conqueror all odds to get to the top of the mountain and then strengthen this by embarking on a journey toward the mountain top. Match your ambitions and your actions the "Trump style".
Create you own path – Break the conventional : He was labelled the "unpresidential presidential candidate" because of how he did his stuff. Trump believed in himself and he did things his way. He created his own "diplomatic style". He showed little regard to the traditions of presidential debates, he spoke things that others could only think of but never voice, He rubbed even his own party leaders the wrong way and everyone wondered how he got to be the flag bearer. Well they wonder no more.
I'm not encouraging you to break the workplace rules. You should just create your own career path and never stick to what other think is the sure way of success. Learn to pull some moves that would even scare you. If you believe changing jobs will give you the edge you are looking for do it. Don't listen to the baby boomer who insists you need to work for at least five years with a particular employer before you can make a career move. When a new opportunity comes up within your line of interest be bold enough and apply for it even when some think you are not qualified enough or do not have enough years of experience. Remember you only qualify for
certain positions by taking them head on. Trump was never a presidential aspirant before leave alone being a politician.
Prepare to fight really hard and fight all the way: Woe unto them that fell on his path of war. The man had a battle plan and he stuck to it all the way to the end. Trump knew his opponents would never give him the kiss of peace, He readied himself for war and took on everyone who dared him. Some got a bit ugly but he still fought anyway. His own party turned against him and he had to fight as well. President elect Trump is battle hardened and he knows how to win the right wars.
As you start to rise in you career you will encounter fights that you never ever thought existed in the workplace. Office politics will get dirty yet you will need to soldier on to the end. Some individuals that you thought were your cheerleaders will turn to be your worst tormentors. Some will look for all possible opportunities to set you up against the authorities that be. There are days that you will spend on the edge of life. You must be prepared to fight all this battles, create the right influence and move on toward you career goal.
Be wise, be knowledgeable. Know who needs to be your confidant and who needs to be in your career circle. Do not abandon
your journey simply because the battle is getting tougher, instead get tough and take on every situation albeit diplomatically.
Against all odds you are destined to succeed in your career aspirations if you take the right steps of action in a timely manner. This Trump lessons can help you fan the flames of ambition one more time and start the journey to the peak of your career mountain.
Kindly share any other career lesson we can learn from the political life and times of president elect Donald Trump even as we congratulate him for the job well done..

Hello, everyone! Happy 1-week to St. Patrick's Day! Today's post is a two-in-one featuring a festive nail look and a mini review on these new drugstore nail polishes. Although I'm not Irish, I still thought it would be fun to do a little somethin' somethin' ;) I'll make any excuse to try a new nail theme! Here's the details!
I chose two shades: 484C Do Pass Go (Green) and 450B Clear Nail Protector. I really wanted to see how these polishes performed, so I made sure to buy their top coat. To add a bit of glitzy glamour, I placed a silver flower detail on both of my ring fingers. I purchased my nail art at Ulta and the brand is Essence. The photos you're seeing are of Day 2 nails, in case you're curious. So far, I really like these and the color was perfect after a second coat. They have a ton of beautiful shades that I plan on trying out soon, especially for Spring & Summer.
Simple Sunday - Off Shopping at Bass Pro & Target!

Bernie Sanders might not win, but his campaign has revolutionised American politics
The victory party after her New York win was classic Clinton: carefully managed and perfectly manicured. Constructed by the best political operatives money can buy, nothing was without meaning. The young people from an array ethnicities and economic backgrounds carefully positioned behind Hillary Clinton on stage were an implicit rebuke to the statistics showing the former first lady struggling to win support from the under 50s.
Mrs Clinton's speech was impeccably tailored – a broad sweep box ticking of the issues that her pollsters had told her are registering as important. Afterwards, Fight Song by Rachel Platten blasted across the packed gala hall.
It was pure theatre, and that is the problem.
Mrs Clinton won the New York primary. But the fact that her bid is even contested at this late stage (this was the first decisive primary election the state has seen in decades) shows the power of Bernie Sanders' message.
There is an authenticity to Mr Sanders, a genuine commitment to change, that is missing in his rival. And indeed in most of American politics.
Mrs Clinton is a political machine, too far removed from real life to be able to really engage with the chronic economic and social issues affecting the average American.
No matter how much she tries to paint herself as an outsider, she he has pandered to Wall Street, accepting millions of dollars in payments from its power players. And they do expect something in return.
Like a chameleon, she has started to incorporate the main elements of Mr Sanders' beliefs into her pitch to voters. Her speeches are smattered with nods to the need for a higher minimum wage; to the environment; to immigration. But this more is out of necessity than belief.
For most, politics is about staying in power. It's a game played among a small nexus of people, who spend their lives doing everything and anything for its sake. There is, by necessity, a softening of the moral compass, a pragmatism that comes with keeping happy the people you need to appease to stay on track.
And in so doing they lose sight of the realities on the ground. Take the recent congressional vote on whether to ban Syrian refugees from the United States; most politicians privately agreed that Syrian refugees don't pose a threat to this country. But many voted to ban them anyway, because it was politically expedient to do so. Somewhere in that game, the humanity was lost.
"So what?" I hear you say. "This is not new. Politicians change their views to win elections all the time."
Just because this is common, does not make it right. And this is what has been highlighted by Mr Sanders' campaign.
He has been in politics as long as Mrs Clinton. But he has stuck to his beliefs. He has fought against income inequality for most of his political life. In so doing he lost out on millions of dollars of financing from America's rich.
His campaign has led by example - avoiding the temptation of engaging super PACs - who could have raked in the money that every presidential campaign so desperately needs to survive.
His style is hectoring and repetitive. He is a nightmare to report on because he bangs on constantly about the same topics.
And his promises are grander than he could ever fulfil. He is selling idealism that reality cannot match.
But it is evident that he cares. He talks about the problems using detail that suggest he has thought about them deeply (People are working so hard for such low wages that "families and marriages are stressed out and kids don't get the attention they need," he said in one recent speech). If he was elected to the White House, he would certainly use his presidency to push for his agenda.
The success of his candidacy shows America is entering an era where authenticity matters. Mr Sanders' supports are mostly young. They are the voters who will shape the politics of the next decades. He is likely to lose this primary race, but future presidential candidates would do well to heed his example.

Ho Tram, 27th October, 2016: With some of the worst weather on record just starting to subside, The Grand Ho Tram Strip has banded together to relieve the victims of the carnage left in the storm's wake. The nation's only truly integrated resort launched a program for staff and guests to donate, with contributions doubled by the resort itself.
Totalling 120 million VND and donated to the Red Cross, which is leading the charge in the rebuild of 2,000 residents in the impacted areas of Ha Tinh and Quang Tri, The Grand Ho Tram Strip's contribution will see 500,000 VND in cash, as well as food, drinking water and other daily necessities inserted in care packs worth over 1 million VND each.
Michael Kelly – Executive Chairman of The Grand Ho Tram Strip said of this donation: "From the dawn of the Ho Tram Strip, being an active, compassionate and generous part of Vietnamese society has been front-and-center among our objectives. When we saw the horrific images of people whose homes and lives had been devastated by the storm that hit central Vietnam a couple of weeks ago, we knew we would have to band together and help. I would like to thank my team and our loyal guests for their generosity in helping us make this donation, as well as the hard-working team of the Red Cross and the local authorities in the effected provinces for all of their efforts in helping to rebuild these communities."
The Grand Ho Tram Strip has been a regular contributor to Vietnam's community, with several high profile charity initiatives under its belt. These include the Charity Golf Tournament 2015 which was hosted by The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip and The Ba Ria Vung Tau Golf Association to help local families in help in Xuyen Moc, Dat Do, Long Son and Chau Duc. Moreover, The Grand Ho Tram Strip also partnered with Vung Tau Vocational Tourism College (VTVC) to provide training and employment opportunities for students in tourism sector, which help upgrade Vietnam's tourism standard and give local employees an opportunity to improve hotel management skills. Ho Tram Project Company Limited has contributed over USD 300,000 in donations.
The Grand Ho Tram Strip is Vietnam's first truly integrated resort with US$1.1 billion in deployed and committed capital to date. Its first phase includes 541 five-star rooms and The Bluffs golf course, which is first course in the country to ever make Golf Digest's Top 100 list for courses around the world. Future phases of the resort will see it add an additional 559 rooms in a second tower – dubbed The Beach Club, 1000-key condotel and 60 golf course villas, and the company is currently considering the development of a private charter airport to service guests of The Grand Ho Tram Strip.

More on EvacuationMSNBC News Services
Updated: 3 minutes ago
LOS CABOS, Mexico - Luxury hotels sent foreign tourists home Thursday as powerful Hurricane John took aim at Mexicos Baja California peninsula, and the government ordered 10,000 local residents into shelters.
At least three hotels in the posh Los Cabos resort, popular with U.S. tourists and famed for its beaches and golf courses, arranged flights home for tourists before the storm hits on Friday.
We are evacuating everyone, said Mithza Velazquez, concierge at the beachfront Hilton Hotel in Los Cabos.
John is a Category 3 hurricane, packing sustained winds of 125 mph and stronger gusts. The U.S. National Hurricane Center forecast the storm will make a direct hit on the resort.
We are trying to evacuate as many guests as possible, said Martin Guillen, spokesman of the Casa del Mar hotel, next to the Hilton in Los Cabos.
We are trying to convince people that they should leave for their own safety, he said in an interview. The vast majority have changed their flights and are leaving today.
Mexican residents of low-lying areas of Los Cabos will also be evacuated from their homes on Thursday, by force if necessary, said Jose Gajon, head of civil protection for the state of Baja California Sur.
Those who do not want to leave will be taken away by the army, Gajon said. The number to be evacuated could rise.

|Five more lessons to go to complete this module. HURRAH!
I found that French is a lot easier to grasp if I study using Babbel.com first and then progress to studying with books, because:
- I can hear the words and know how they sound like.
- I can build on the basics and then this stuff doesn't look so strange (or foreign) anymore in the books.
- The lessons are really easy to follow and logical.
Having a working knowledge of Italian grammar really helps too in studying French. Because of this I didn't have to spend a significant amount of time mastering the grammatical aspect of the language, but only need to focus more on vocabulary and some of the French peculiarities. Yes, the sexy language is still pretty much a peculiar thing to me...
I've just completed lesson 17 of the Beginner's Course 1 with five more to go to complete this module. Happy studying!

- (I fill the blender about ¾ full with beans).
- Blend beans until smooth.

- Now add the sausage and cumin to the soup, simmer for about another 45 minutes to an hour (depending on the thickness you like).
- Now taste the soup, and add salt and pepper to taste.
- It is best not to add salt or pepper before now because the sausage is salty and it will to make the soup a bit saltier after its added.
- Add one to two cups of cooking sherry, let simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream on the top or sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
- Excellent with corn bread or biscuits.

Loan Boys Return - John Sutton
Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) Football Club is located in North London. The club is also known as Spurs. Tottenham's home ground is White Hart Lane. The club motto is Audere est Facere (To dare is to do).
John Sutton has returned from his loan spell at Carlisle United and hopes the experience gained will contribute to his quest for a bright future at Tottenham.
The Norwich-born striker had no hesitation in accepting the chance to head north and help the Cumbrians in their fight to move off the bottom of the Division Three table. He featured in seven League games, an LDV Vans encounter and an FA Cup tie.
United now sit two places off the drop-spot and John feels his time spent at Brunton Park was a useful learning curve.
"I think I can learn a lot from it," he reflected. "Towards the end I got subbed a lot and didn't take too much from that though.
"In the time I was on the pitch I felt I did well and it will hopefully make me a better player now I am back at Tottenham."
There is a tendency among Premiership followers to suggest that Nationwide League combat is of a much more physical nature that would take some adapting to. John reasons that, from his experience, this is not necessarily the case.
"I'm not really sure it was more physical, just that the style of football is different. It is a bit scrappier and not as much passing. They look to try and get the ball forward a bit earlier.
"It is probably a little bit harder and I think I adapted to that quite well. Hopefully I can take good bits out of that game and stick it into my game down here.
"I got knocked about a little bit, but I really don't think it was that much tougher. It is probably not so good to watch as a supporter as the games are a bit more scrappy."
So was it a daunting prospect heading for the other end of the country to play for a team at the bottom of the Nationwide pile? John says the demands of a large support and playing for survival points were the noticeable differences from the football he is familiar with.
"I think we were bottom when I went there and we just about got off before the end. I think it's always good to get league experience because when you play in the reserves and youth team it is good, but there are not a lot of supporters there. If you lose the game it doesn't mean too much
"Up there it was playing for real points and it matters to a lot of people. Carlisle feel they are a big club and, in many respects, they are with the fan base they have got. They've got some quite big name players up there and that probably helped me a little."
John was not completely isolated in his temporary environment and, coming from Norwich, being away from home is not new to the 18-year-old.
"It was pretty much the same for me. Norwich is two hours away from here and when I was up there my brother was two hours away in Glasgow and my sister is in Middlesbrough. So it wasn't too bad."
Would he like to repeat the experience?
"It would depend really on what Glenn, Colin Calderwood and John Gorman feel. It would be about whether it would help me at Tottenham, because here is where I want to play."


text: So finally got my M3 DS Real perfect bundle today. It's very nice and simple to use, had no problems running it or setting it up. It also booted everything up that I tested including the browser and GBA games. I'm a little confused about how the save system works though. I have not got far enough into a DS game yet to test it, but I assume that DS saves will work just fine. GBA saving did not seem to work for me. I did a quick test with Golden Sun, and the M3 Real did not load up my save game. So my questions.... 1. I just save DS games as I would an actual DS cartridge, correct? 2. Same for GBA games? I don't really care about the real time save feature, I'm hoping it's not the only way to save a GBA game. 3. Is there anyway to view game saves through the M3 Real interface? Being able to see game saves and delete them quickly would be nice. Only way I have found to delete them is by using the "Blank" option.

I thought that the number of UX/UI positions being advertised would diminish with time but it does not seem to be happening - yet. In this post, I will set out some pretty compelling reasons (well for me anyway) why we should not use those two terms interchangeably.
This is not a debating point which has sides. It is about your users. Do you want them to have a good experience or do you want to showcase your designers UI. If you are even thinking about this then, well, you are on the wrong path.
There is a factoid that the Inuit people have 50 words for snow. But like many factoids, they have some semblance of truth. While they do have a lot of words for snow, just like Irish people tend to have lots of ways to describe rain. It rains a lot in Ireland and the Inuits see a lot of snow. But, the main point to take out of this is that if there are two words or two terms, then there is a reason for this. There is some fundamental difference between the two ideas which are at the core of the words or terms in this case.
So reason 1 is that UI and UX are fundamentally different areas of endeavor.
Sure, they are both connected to design but adding designer at the end only serves to complicate an already complicated situation.
In reality, UX designers test their own designs all the time. Often, it's because they're the only UX professional available to test the designs. If they don't do it, it won't get tested at all.
Jim Ross
The person or team who designed or built a product should never be the ones to test it. I am not talking about QA or development testing (though you could make a similar argument there), I am talking about usability testing. I don't say this for some sadistic reason but because it is very difficult to accurately critique a product or a piece of software that you were involved in the development of.
Take this piece for example. Sure, I can read it and edit it but to really get a good critique I need someone else to look over it and give me feedback (hint hint).
Now, you are probably going to come back to me and say that there are too much work and not enough people and by dint of necessity the designer has to test the usability. That is a fair point if you and your team lived on an otherwise uninhabited planet. So, you've no friends? No family who can test it. The person sitting next to you in the coffee shop. It does not matter who it is. But, if you are serious about getting feedback then you will find someone.
If you work for a larger organization with larger product team then there is no excuse.
UI is all about the designer and the product. Right? No, it is all about the user and the product. It is up to the designer to design an interface that makes it as simple as possible for the user to use the product. How they do this is based on a number of factors. The designer might have a vision for the product which is new and innovative. There will, if you are doing your job, be lots of existing user feedback and a backlog of usability issues to work through and fix. Then of course marketing might stick their noses in and ask for this or that.
Tell a designer or an engineer what some user feedback is on their product and they will often react with exasperation.
You are not supposed to interact with the editor like that. That is not what the interface is for. Are our user's idiots?
I have made up the last quote, obviously, a designer would never say that.
But, there is a serious point here. It is not easy to listen to a negative critique of your own work and it is important that there is a distance between the UI designer and the people giving this feedback so we can derive feedback that is unbiased and will allow us to provide even better experiences to our users.
UX is very important. It is not an add-on to the UI design. It is not something that we try to find time for. It is about how a user experiences our products/ services/ whatever. Too often UX is handed over to the design team and they are expected to do both. Design the UI and implement a better UX. All at the same time. The next bit is very important and you might need to stop and consider it carefully.
UX and UI are two separate functions and cannot be done by the same person.
If you flinched for even a second while reading the last quote or if you have any doubt then you need to get a pen and some paper and write out that sentence 100 times.
But, even for the most niche product, there will be a spectrum of users. All of these users will come to the UI with different needs and requirements and expectations.
If the UI designer spent all their time designing a product for everyone, then you would end up with something that didn't work for anyone. So let the UI designer design the UI and then let someone else (i.e the UX team) test its usability.
This is to say that every dollar invested in UX returns $10 to $100, and correcting the problem from the start is most cost effective.
UX is a relative newcomer to the party. And most people, especially in larger organizations do not really understand what it is all about. It is also a very well paid job in comparison with UI design. The reason for this is not difficult to find. UX can, if used correctly, have a significant impact on the bottom line. But, like any investment, it can take time and it can slow up development of a product. But, you either want to include UX in the process or you don't. And the aim to make money by adding to UX to the list of jobs that someone has to do is not going to work. UX does improve your bottom line but only if it is a function in its own right.
The flat design threat is a fashionable trend that will hopefully subside before it hurts users (and companies) too much.
The convergence of UI and UX is in large part the result of a lack of understanding. It is not a strategic decision. CEOs and Founder's do not set out to provide a poor user experience. But, that can be the unintended consequence of their decisions.
Take one example. Flat design. This was, and still is, a major trend in design. It has dominated so many interfaces in the last 18 months. Yet, there is little doubt at this stage that it is a failure and negatively impacts the user experience.
Norman Nielsen Group published a review of Flat Design which can only be described as damning. 'The flat design threat is a fashionable trend that will hopefully subside before it hurts users (and companies) too much.' Most usability testing has come to the same conclusion and you can only wonder how so many could have got it so wrong.

Vancouver's Oldest Building
ãWhen itãs quiet at the old Hastings Mill store you can hear the past whispering to youã¢ã¢/p>
On very quiet afternoons when light dances with shadow behind the Art Deco case of tribal relics you might sense a presence. Is it a ghost from the Great Vancouver Fire of June 13, 1886?
The story of the Great Fire is just one of many connected to the Old Hastings Mill Store Museum. A huge oxen yoke and early logging photographs remind the visitor of when lumber barons reigned over the land. And there are countless artefacts from the 1836 steamship SS Beaver, ãthe lifeline of the coast ã¢that met a watery grave off Prospect Point.
The museumãs other unique heritage items include Vancouverãs first city council table, legendary lifeguard Joe Fortes ã?oil lamp and an original full-size Hansom cab. Thereãs also a fine collection of First Nations basketry and carvings along with an eclectic assortment of fascinating curios donated by Vancouverites over the years. Step into Vancouverãs past at the Old Hastings Mill Store Museum.
The iconic ãOld Mill Store ã¢stood at the foot of Dunlevy Street, East of Gastown for more than 60 years, before it was rescued when Hastings Sawmill was slated for demolition. The Store was barged to its current location on Point Grey and re-opened as a museum in 1931 by the Native Daughters of B.C. Post #1. Founded in 1919, the non-profit, historical society composed of B.C. born volunteer women, continues to own the building and steward its amazing collection.

I'll start by saying that I LOVE makeup. It's fun, makes you look like the better version of you and it generally comes in cute packaging (that I'm a sucker for).
Looking back, I wore a ton of it. There was MAC gel liner, glitter eyeliner for special occasions, EVERY color eyeshadow… the works. Now, at the ripe age of 27 and working in an office environment my makeup style has changed. Also, I've come to terms with my rather large eyes and Filipino nose and opted for a more natural look. No contouring here, just enhancing what I've already got. 🙂
These are some products that I use on a daily basis, and can't live without!
1. Happ and Stahns perfume- Everyone needs a signature scent and this one is mine. It smells like roses and happiness. This perfume is my ideal scent: Hip Grandma!
2. Batiste Dry Shampoo– This stuff is hands down the BEST dry shampoo. It doesn't leave your hair white, absorbs completely and smells amazing.
3. Naked 2 by Urban Decay- This palette has amazing neutrals and is great for everyday use.
4. Naked Flushed– is a bronzer, highlighter and perfect shade of pink blush all in one.
5. Mario Badescu Rosewater– This hydrating spray lightly moisturizes and leaves skin with a hint of my favorite rose scent.
6. Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick– This is SERIOUS stuff. It really does stay on and is very pigmented. It will give you that bright pop of color with minimal touch-ups.
