Tricks only this Halloween in Venice. The 140 cm tide is acqua molto alta—very high—and the 35kph winds and accompanying rains keep treaters and everyone else holed up this All Saints' Eve.
There's lots of activity around the opening of "cruise season" in Venice, and citizens are mobilizing to continue to protest their presence. It's a rainy weekend in the forecast, so it's hard to say what the participation might be. In the meantime, here's a rough translation from their Facebook page:
The cruise season resumes in full force the weekend of April 14 and 15: as many as 9 (nine!) ships will arrive and depart this Saturday and Sunday…
The time is la Belle Èpoche, the place is Vienna. Women are still corseted, but Freud is probing their psyche; Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffman 'secede' in igniting a new world of Viennese art and architecture.
The excitement at press conference was palpable, even in an off-Art Biennale year. And such a crowd: perhaps two hundred journalists and photographers, gathered in one of the most splendid ballrooms in the city. Not to dance, at least not literally…
Last December, Emma Thompson arrived in Venice for "Effie," along with Dakota Fanning, Claudia Cardinale, husband and co-screenplay writer Greg Wise, and an opportunity to make believe that in Venice, it's 1850 once again.

During the Age of Enlightenment of the 1700s, political philosophers in Europe and the United States began to claim people should have the right to choose their own type of government. With the invasion of Spain by Napoleon, the political space was created in Latin America to implement these new ideas. The result was a wave of independence movements across the Americas.

Grief and loss
Grief is certainly one of those universal human experiences that affect all of us. Whether it be the death of someone close, the end of a relationship or the loss of a job, there is an array of complex feelings, behaviours and thoughts that occur that challenge everyone.
Everyone's experience of grief and loss is different, but talking to a psychologist may provide an anchor in a stormy sea where everything seems rocky and unpredictable.
If you are struggling to adapt to the grief of someone close to you, seeking support from a psychologist may make what is a challenging process that bit smoother. We can't take away the pain, but we can help you understand what is normal and what you may do to move through the process effectively and adapt.
We can teach you strategies that will allow you to cope more effectively and manage daily activities more easily, while achieving each of the tasks of grief successfully. Most of all we can provide that safe space for you to express your grief honestly and openly without fear of burdening others or being firstname.lastname@example.com 08 8361 7008

The Daily Mail (2005)
In her Rock 'n Roll Shoes
September 23, 2005 | Written by Baz BamigboyeToni Collette finds our obsession with beauty very scary.
She illustrated her point by discussing the roles she and Cameron Diaz play in the movie In Her Shoes, a grade-A weepie about family and relationships, in which Toni plays Rose, a lawyer, and Cameron is her sister Maggie, a slob who can't get a job.
"So much emphasis is placed on the external self and I think it's very interesting when you see Maggie, who is statuesque and blonde and beautiful and everything women are told they should aspire to be," Toni explained.
"But really, it's just a show - she's a complete mess inside.
"Rose, you wouldn't look twice at in the street, but the more you get to know her, the more beautiful she becomes."
At the risk of sounding like a self-help manual, Toni said, the film is "about a journey to knowing yourself, because these two sisters have developed a way of coping, but not living".
Anyway, it's definitely not a manual but an engrossing picture that's deeply moving.
Toni is fabulous, so I was surprised when she told me that, for a very long time, she felt she had no future in acting. "There was a stage where I felt I had to take everything that came along because you really don't know when it's going to run out of steam and you're like a grateful child when you're given a job."
She feels confident now, and some of that may be due to her husband Dave Galafassi, with whom she has formed the rock band Toni Collette And The Finish.
Dave plays drums on their first album, Beautiful, Awkward Pictures, which features 11 of Toni's own songs. They aim to tour Australia and Europe in the middle of next year.
I caught Toni several years ago on Broadway in The Wild Party - a dreadful musical, admittedly, but one in which she proved she had a splendid mezzo range.
In Her Shoes opens here on November 11. Next year, Toni can be seen opposite star-in themaking Eddie Redmayne and Tom Sturridge in the psychological murder thriller Like Minds.

When children can't be with their parents, they should be with their family. Foster Kinship was established as a 501(c)(3) organization in 2011 by Alison Caliendo. As a foster/adoptive parent, she has the desire to help the 33,000 children in Nevada living with relative caregivers, also known as kinship care. Foster Kinship was founded with a mission to "strengthen the kinship caregivers' capacity to provide safe, permanent, and nurturing homes for children."
Nationally recognized, Foster Kinship is the only non-profit organization in Nevada exclusively serving kinship children and families. Since its inception, Foster Kinship has proudly served nearly 5,000 children and 2,100 kinship families across Southern Nevada. In October, 2018 Foster Kinship will expand services to the entire state.
Foster Kinship provides free programs for kinship caregivers: Kinship Navigator Services and Child Welfare Training.
Foster Kinship also advocates for all kinship families to receive access to services and improved caregiving options through training, partnerships and thoughtful leadership.
By helping to "keep home in the family" for these vulnerable children, Foster Kinship envisions a safe and healthy childhood for ALL children in kinship care.

Comic book enthusiasts have something to look forward to this year. The newest editions coming out have some truly amazing content, but there hasn't been a lot of press or advertisement about it that we've seen. We know that it's important to get the word out so you don't miss out on getting your copies while they're hot off of the press. We're going to give a preview of what you can expect to find with five secretly amazing new comics for 2017 with few spoilers that won't ruin the surprise, but rather, will get you excited enough to go out and get them for yourself.
From all appearances, most of them will feature a change in the overall tone that will make them even more interesting and hilarious for adult readers. They may not be the best choice for a younger audience as the content will be geared for more mature minds and the younger ones may not get the full meaning of the writer's intent. This is totally okay because adults need entertainment as well. There will also be some great selections rated T for teens so every one is covered. Here is what is coming up.
1. The Flintstones
This comic is slated to be among the best comics of the 2017 year. You'll find that the latest version coming out is a lot different than the cartoon series that we're used to seeing as re-runs. Writer Mark Russel has combined his talents with Steve Pugh's artistic flair to make each new issue a must read. It will feature a darker take with the same comedic values only in a more mature format that most adults can appreciate.
2. Archie Comics
The new Archie comics that are coming out for 2017 will pit Betty and Veronica against one another. We all grew up seeing them as two of the sweetest teens in the USA, but there are some surprises ahead as the two turn against one another. We're not being given much information about exactly what their issues will be but we're told that the two will butt heads big time. If you're into conflict then this will give you a healthy dose as the two friends will go into battle with one another. The writers promise that the new editions will be filled with action and drama.
3. Teen Titans #4
DC comics is following through with "Damian Knows Best" in the release of part four for those of you who have been following the story line. In the January 25 edition you can continue to follow the action and drama. Find out what happens when Robin makes a deal with Ra's al Ghul a deal as they go to trial through combat. A loss by Damian will result in the death of all of the Teen Titans, but if he wins, they'll survive. He'll be compelled to rejoin the League of Assassins with no hope of release even if he wins. This one is sure to be a nail biter as the action continues.
4. Superman Batman Saga of the Super Sons
These comics are DCs new editions and are available on Jan 25th, 2017. The Superheroes live on through their sons in this highly anticipated release. It is a must read for all Superman and Batman fans of all ages. The story continues with fantasy as well as situations that most of us can relate to. It would be nice to have the superhero dads as well as the abilities that they pass on through their genes.
5. Horrorhound
Perhaps one of the most highly anticipated comics for 2017 is due to be released soon. Feiwel & Friends publishers have a publishing date of January 25, 2017 but the comic is not yet available. This is sure to inspire a sense of anxiousness for those who are awaiting its availability. The new issue will give us a closer look at what we can expect in film releases and there are quite a few of us who look forward to reading about new movie releases including Resident Evil, Blood Wars, and the latest news in comic books, toys and a look at the history of Underworld. It's sure to be packed with a ton of interesting information that will give readers inspiration for the best buys for maximum reading and viewing pleasure.

We are quickly moving from babyhood into toddlerhood. Baby E is quickly learning that walking means there are so many new places to explore. She has also now figured out how the kitchen cabinets work and that there are fun things in there to find. This development caused us to get our butts in gear and put locks on the cabinets as well as some other baby proofing things.
|But why can't I play with the trash can?
It seems like she is always talking and more and more things have meaning. She will say hi and daddy is da. Ma is both milk and me. I think that she is a little confused because we are still nursing, so in most cases milk comes from mommy.
|So happy
Baby E remains a great eater. She will eat just about anything that you give her. Cottage cheese is one of the few things she doesn't seem to like. Rice is hit or miss, but she eats everything else without any fuss. Eggs and zucchini are still very high on her list and she hasn't met a bean she doesn't like.
This month was relatively quiet for a change, so we enjoyed some time just hanging out as a family. We spent time at the pool and celebrated her 11 month birthday with a trip to the splash pad.
Birthday party planning is in full swing. I may be going a bit overboard (damn you pinterest), but she is only going to be one once. I wish being crafty came more easily for me.
I have to say that for me, each month seems to get more fun. I can't wait to see what the next few months have in store.

Lavish décor, yellow marigolds, shimmering silk sarees, the aroma of Eastern spices, all under the echo of the latest hip shaking Bollywood track….
All of the above make the perfect combination for a traditional South Asian event. However, it is true that when our Indian guests leave with a lasting impression of an event based on the vast menu offerings, can there possibly be a dull moment for your guests in such a vibrant environment? Surprisingly, YES!
For someone who's always drawn towards the dessert corner at any time of day, not being able to indulge in the sweet delicacies on offer can certainly leave me feeling slightly 'deserted'.
We are now part of society where intolerance to certain foods and ingredients are the norm. Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Fructose Free and Nut Free, are some common dietary requirements. Looking at Vegetarianism in particular, during the period of festivities for a traditional Hindu wedding, it is not uncommon for the 'Wedded-couple-to-be' and their families to follow Hindu traditions and observe vegetarianism (if not already a part of their daily lifestyle) It can also be expected there would be a large number of guests who are in fact 'Hindu' Vegetarian.
What does 'Hindu-Vegetarianism' really mean?
Individuals adopt a vegetarian diet in different ways, however, to classify a typical 'Hindu – Vegetarian', it would be safe to use 'Lacto-Vegetarianism' as the closest definition. A Lacto-Vegetarian is a person who abstains from eating meat and eggs with other forms of dairy still included.
Whilst Vegetarian options are commonly considered in menu planning, desserts are the most desired yet most challenging to meet all those dietary needs. Below, I will share with you how my exclusive dessert ideas for South Asian events that are not only interesting, but are able to accommodate for a Lacto-Vegetarian diet of guests:
- Mithai Twists – it requires just a few moments to think through some of your favourite indian sweets and realise they are Egg Free!
Vegan Pistachio, Coconut Cream and Carrot Halwa Trifle: This trifle features layers of vegan carrot halwa, pistachios and coconut whipped cream. It makes for a healthy yet indulgent dessert. (Image: Peas and Peonies)
Motichoor Rabdi Parfait: This fusion dessert combines traditional indian sweets, Motichoor Ladoos and Rabdi and is served with a western twist (Image: The Food Kiosk, Pinterest)
2. We're sceaming for Lassi Ice-Creams! These mango-lassi ice cream sticks are a fun way to serve the most common indian beverage (Image: Just One Cookbook, Pinterest)
3. 'Make a statement' Finding it too difficult to organise special desserts? Consider a statement eggless cake that can cater for all your guests.

4. Make it an activity! – Looking for a fun Bachelorette party? Cupcake Central not only serve up some of the most scrumptious cupcakes in Melbourne (Australia), but offer cupcake decorating workshops for teams! The best part? They offer a variety of vegan cupcakes on their menu that you get to take home at the end of your workshop. In addition, you can arrange to speak to one of their event planners to assist with catering needs for your special day.

So, there is a few ideas to help take the headache out of finding tasty Lacto-Vegetarian desserts.

Fifty years ago, not long after the last live tour the Beatles would ever play, the band released an album that changed pop music, and the way we listen to it, forever.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band broke boundaries and records, encapsulated the era's counterculture and inclusiveness, and paved the way for progressive rock. It was the biggest selling album of the 1960s and a 2003 poll for Rolling Stone named it the greatest, most influential album of all time.
Released a year after the groundbreaking Revolver, Sgt. Pepper saw the Beatles pull further away from their image as mop-topped popsters with a diverse collection of songs influenced by psychedelia, big band music, Indian classical and the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. (It also famously includes a high pitched note that dogs can hear but which is inaudible to humans.)
If you want some idea of the album's quality, consider the songs that didn't make the final track listing: Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane were cut and released as a double A-side single at the behest of producer George Martin.
Seen as one of the world's first concept albums, the idea behind Sgt. Pepper - that it's the work of a fictional Edwardian military band - first came to Paul McCartney on a flight. The alter ego gave the Beatles the freedom to experiment with sounds and new production techniques.
It was the first pop album, for example, to use cross-fading technology so that all the tracks blend into one continuous stream of music. This was before people listened to a record from start to finish: Sgt. Pepper helped to usher in the era of the album.
Upon its release, the world duly lost its mind. The record sold 2.5m copies in three months and in The Times, critic Kenneth Tynan described it as "a decisive moment in the history of Western civilisation." If that bombastic appraisal didn't last (some have even argued that it's an overproduced death knell for rock n roll), the record is justifiably one of the most studied pieces of 20th century art. What better reason to pick up the 50th anniversary release?
To celebrate the 50th anniversary the album has been re mastered which features the new stereo album mix on the first LP and adds a second LP with previously unreleased alternate takes for each of the album's 13 songs. These have been newly mixed in stereo and sequenced in the same order as the album.

San Francisco, CA: Año Nuevo State Natural Reserve
Venture across the picturesque beaches of Northern California's Año Nuevo State Natural Reserve to encounter the world's largest colony of northern elephant seals. Inhabitants of the Eastern Pacific Ocean, these seals migrate from Alaska to as far south as Baja, California, but return each winter to the rocky shores of Año Nuevo to mate. You'll need a reservation for a guided walk during the winter season (December 15 to March 31), but can explore on your own any time between April and November.
Starting from the visitor center, wind through thick deerbrush on the Año Nuevo Point Trail before hanging a left onto the Pond Loop Trail. Keep your eyes open for the abundance of birdlife near the pond as you head toward the Año Nuevo Exhibit Building (featuring a real-time census count of the male, female and pup seals in Ano Nuevo) and the entry-point to the Sand Dunes section of the park.
In the Sand Dunes area, walk amongst the hundreds of elephant seals lounging, playing, feeding and mating on the postcard-like beach. Don't expect privacy on the shore, though: Along with hordes of 14-foot, 2-ton elephant seals, you'll likely run into coyotes on the prowl. Winter is the best time to see the adult seals, though weaned pups will remain at the beach through April.
Guided tours cost $7. Reservations can be made by calling (650-879-2025) or visiting Reserve America.

Moral and Political Philosophy after Alison Jaggar
Click here for the Conference Website.
RoME will be preceded by a two-day conference (planned for Aug 6-7, 2014), which will celebrate the work of Alison Jaggar, UC-B College Professor of Distinction in Philosophy and Women and Gender Studies. Most presenters will be professional philosophers who studied with Jaggar at UC-B and who currently work in "non-ideal theory." Non-ideal theory is moral and political philosophy that takes as its starting point the extreme injustices that characterize our real world circumstances.
In addition to presentations by former CU-B students, there will be three keynote addresses. One will be given by Claudia Card, Emma Goldman Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Card is a past president of the Central Division of the American Philosophical Association, whose research in ethics and social/political philosophy focuses conceptual, normative, and practical issues ofn evil and injustice. The second keynote will be given by Elizabeth V. Spelman, Barbara Richmond 1940 Professor in the Humanities, at Smith College, who is currently working on a book about the human relationship with waste. The third keynote will be presented by Alison Jaggar, who will reflect on changes in moral and political philosophy resulting from her work, and sketch the future terrain of moral and political non-ideal theory.
During both days, a series of panels will be presented by former students whose dissertations were supervised by Professor Jaggar. They include (in no order):
Each panelist will pre-circulate a previously unpublished paper. Panels will include presentations of ten minutes by each of three philosophers, followed by forty-five minutes of discussion.
There is no registration fee for the conference, "In the Unjust Meantime," which is open to RoME participants and all members of the CU and Boulder communities.

Pete Jones Plays Genesis for Charity.
Peter Jones, of the infamous Tiger Moth Tales and currently keyboard player of Camel has produced a second genesis album. I think Genesis may be trying to join his band in the near future!
Selling England for three quid? Yes BUT more importantly, he is donating the proceeds to Guide Dogs, a charity which is obviously very close to Peter's heart.

Braun Strowman has been cleared to return to action, according to PWInsider. Word going around at last night's WWE RAW was that Strowman was cleared a week ago. He will be back on RAW as soon as creative comes up with a plan for his return.
It will be interesting to see how WWE brings Strowman back as he's still in a feud with Roman Reigns. Braun has stated that he's not done with Reigns yet. As noted, Reigns will be on next week's RAW to announce his SummerSlam plans.

#1401 – Dugon November 1, 2011 at 12:00 am
I was really excited when I was a kid and bought a metal detector from a garage sale. It was a small plastic kid sized model that ran on a 9-volt battery. I mainly dreamed that I would find old valuable coins with it. Instead I found a few nails, some bottle caps and a Hot Wheels car.
Today's Maximumble is under pressure.

This is one of the best beach resorts I had been to. We had been attended to from the moment we stepped into the hotel to the moment we left. Special thank you to the Guest Service Manager, Kathleen. She personally led us to the room and explained every detail & activity of the resort to us. She's a gem! We appreciate the hotel for the special welcome chocolates & drinks, and the rebates given on meals ordered from restaurant too.
We stayed in a seaview room with a balcony. The room and seaview is ordinary for us who have been to beaches in different parts of the world. But we love the privacy at the room balcony. The beds and pillows were so comfortable to sleep on. My husband and I had really good sleep and rest away from the hustle bustle of city life. Moreover, I was impressed that the hotel staff had the daybed set up as a sleeping area with bedsheet, comforter & pillow for our daughter even before our arrival. Not many hotels are as thoughtful and efficient!
Time to time, they showed their care and passed messages by sliding an envelop under the door in order not to intrude our privacy.
Seriously, I was not impressed by the beach until I stepped on the sand with bare feet. The coral sand was so soft and it's not hot at all under the heat of the sun! You can't find this type of coral sand beach in other parts of Langkawi Island. No wonder the Datai Beach is one of the best 10 beaches in the world!
The breakfast buffet met the standard of a 5 star hotel with good quality & variety spread of food & drinks. We loved having our food outdoor surrounded by greenery there. The trees and the plants around cool the resort from the heat of tropical sun.
The tandoori lamb ribs we had at Tepian Laut was very tender and juicy. Thumbs up for the chef! Having dinner while watching the sunset at the beach was one of many great enjoyments in life.
We're so impressed by the balanced ecology system around the resort. Our daughter who is afraid of insects had no mosquito bite at all during our stay. We enjoyed strolling around and exploring the resort without being hassled by insect bites. Be prepared to see animals such as hornbill, geckos, dusky leaf monkeys, etc. The coral pond was impressive. I was touched by the fact that the resort put in such great effort to preserve the nature.
Overall, our family had a fantastic time as we enjoy to be in nature. We love the place so much that we have booked our next stay in a month time before the summer holiday is over. This time, we'll spend longer time there and hope to be able to join more activities such as forest trekking and snorkelling in the coral pond.

Miss Tweedle has a good eye for a bargain, and I have to take some of the credit for that! She was dragged around to flea markets and thrift stores practically from birth.
Last spring my husband and I bought a second home in Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island. We spent a month furnishing the entire house by visiting second-hand stores and garage sales.
Fellow thrifters, I'm telling you straight up, Vancouver Island is Secondhand Heaven.
I decided to go for the mid-century look because that was the vibe of the house, and that style of furniture is plentiful and much cheaper than antiques.
Here's a photo of my family room. OK, I won't lie, I did buy the couch on sale at Sears.
Everything else in the room was a steal of a deal.
Floor lamp, $15, garage sale.
Table lamp, $2, garage sale.
Authentic vintage Danish teak coffee table, $40, junk store.
Orange vinyl armchairs, $35 each, junk store.
Teak end table, $10, garage sale.
TV stand, $35, thrift store.
Drapes, half-price at Fabricland and I hemmed them myself.
Cushion, half-price at Fabricland, $5.
Buddha batik on wall, free, my husband brought it home from Thailand in 1972.
The patio furniture was bought used from a second-hand store.
The other rooms are similar. I even found a whole range of orange and brown flowered dishes, and vintage glasses, for my kitchen!

Kirby Smart puts UGA players on notice
"We're talkin' about practice." That's the famous quote from former Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson, who spoke those words in disbelief when he found out the media was interested in why he'd missed one of his team's workouts. Iverson couldn't understand why a practice could matter so much.
Clearly he's never spent much time around UGA.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Bulldogs new coach, Kirby Smart, also stepped to a podium to talk about practice — the start of this year's spring practice, specifically — and the eyes and ears of DawgNation were tuned in as if it was the most important subject that had ever been discussed.
The central theme of Smart's message was consistent with what he's said in the past. In January he told reporters the purpose of the offseason was to "create toughness" and to "make kids be comfortable being uncomfortable." On Tuesday, he added a layer of explanation to those earlier statements by saying his spring practices will be "a totally competitive environment where every position is up for competition." Then he added, "If you don't compete every day then you'll be moved."
That undoubtedly raises the stakes for every UGA player this spring.
No one should feel his status — whether earned in college under the previous staff or in high school as an elite recruit — is safe. He seems intent on shaking up the program and the quickest way to do that is to shake up the depth chart. Fans should expect some surprises along the way, but what should never come as a surprise is Smart's willingness to tell it like it is.
The new UGA coach was asked by a reporter on Tuesday to give an assessment of how the offseason conditioning work has gone through the winter. This would've been the perfect opportunity for a coach to throw a bouquet to his new team if he wished — to talk about how hard everyone has been working, and how proud UGA fans were going to be come fall. Instead, Smart lobbed a grenade. He said the winter workouts had been "off and on" and that there "were some bumps and bruises in there."
Imagine being a UGA player and hearing those words. Certainly the players must think they've been giving their all, and yet, Smart seems convinced they've still got more to give — a higher level of dedication for which to aspire.
It's in that spirit that the 2016 spring practice and the start of the Kirby Smart era begins. UGA has watched three consecutive seasons go by without winning the SEC East even though the Bulldogs arguably had the most talent in the division in each of those years. That kind of disappointment can deflate a program and diminish the expectations a team has of itself. Smart appears to have already gotten busy trying to change that attitude, and in doing so is pushing his players to change too.
How quickly can that change occur? It's too early to tell, but what should be clear is this: Smart is no longer the coach trying to straddle dual roles at UGA and Alabama, and he's no longer caught up in the whirlwind of recruiting that defined his first couple of months of his new job. The plainspoken message he delivered on Tuesday indicates that all of that is behind him. He's a full-fledged head coach now, and it's time to get to work.

Welcome to the Brookes Cambridge Campus!
I am often asked why my school is different to others?
My answer is always the same – the children. Of course, all schools have children, but Brookes Cambridge children are nurtured and loved within a unique family environment which allows them to develop in their own special way.
The Montessori ethos underpins all that we do, so we follow the child, supporting every step and guiding them so that they achieve their full potential and become a member of society who stands out from the crowd. Brookes Cambridge children have the courage to be themselves.
I do hope you enjoy discovering more about our school, our ethos and philosophy.
Come and meet our Brookes Cambridge children, see our beautiful setting and experience the family atmosphere that makes us so unique. I would be delighted to show you around.
Please contact our Admissions team to obtain more information.

A Beacon of Hope
The OCBC Local Undergraduate Scholarship has been the gateway to dreams once thought unachievable, the light that illuminates the path to a brighter future. We talk to two OCBC scholars who tell us how the scholarship has enabled them to reach for the stars.
By Farhan Shah
"Happiness can be found; even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light," Albus Dumbledore had said in the movie 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'. Our two protagonists in this story would understand this line better than most, having survived a difficult childhood to emerge stronger and wiser with the help of the OCBC Local Undergraduate Scholarship.
A Difficult Childhood
The warm smile that Mumtaz greeted me with hid a troubled past. "My parents got divorced when I was in Primary 6. After that was over, my mom and I didn't have a place to stay and we had to shuttle between different uncles' houses. It was quite tough on me, especially at such a young age," the 21-year-old reveals.
Such difficult circumstances might have broken other people but Mumtaz was made of sterner stuff. Putting her heart and soul into her studies, Mumtaz worked hard to provide a better future for herself and her family. The midnight oil that she burned for the past 20 years paid off handsomely when she scored a place in the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.
Of all the professions that she could go into with her stellar results, why did Mumtaz decide to venture into medicine?
The answer: Gratitude and compassion.
"Since young, I've had a lot of experiences that reinforced my decision to go into medicine. We didn't have enough money to see a doctor when any of us fell sick, so my mom would nurse us back to health. I was also a member of the Red Cross in secondary school. This experience, coupled with my childhood, inspired me to show the same compassion to others," Mumtaz says.
A Clearer Picture
With this firm resolve in mind, Mumtaz set out to find clinical attachments that could give her a better picture of what life in the sanitised hallways of a clinic would be like. She got her wish, getting attached to Dr. Aziz, a private gynaecologist, for a week.
Although brief, the attachment gave her a clearer picture of what the world of medicine would be like; a place filled with the joy of healing people and the sadness of relaying bad news to patients who would break down in front of her.
"I experienced a range of different emotions. On hindsight, it made me a stronger person and prepared me for what I would be getting myself into. There were a lot of good things I took away from the attachment and made me realise this was what I really wanted," Mumtaz shares.
The only obstacle that stood between her and a career in medicine was the financial hurdle that loomed larger than life. Not one to give up easily, the Meridian Junior College alumnus scoured around for financial help and found the OCBC Scholarship.
"The scholarship's bond-free nature and its flexibility greatly appealed to me as it meant that I would be able to pursue what I wanted in university without being fettered by the prospect of a bond or the shadow of financial burden," Mumtaz says.
Great Ambitions
These two qualities of flexibility and freedom were also what prompted our second protagonist to apply for the OCBC scholarship. 21-year-old Lau Kin Mun is a man of many interests and with the flexibility of the scholarship, the Anderson JC alumnus had the freedom to choose what he wanted to do.
In the end, Kin Mun decided that majoring in Chemical Engineering was his best bet as according to him, engineering provides him with a broad base of knowledge that can be applied to other sectors.
"Because of [engineering's] diverse potential, an engineering student is trained to analyse critically. These analytical skills that you gain as an engineer will be useful in professions beyond the engineering sector," Kin Mun rationalises.
The NUS student certainly has many dreams; for one, he wants to shift the engineering landscape away from traditional sectors like manufacturing and towards new and unexplored fields like biomedical sciences and research.
"I'm particularly interested in biomedical research and I believe engineering will be able to introduce pragmatic solutions to problems in this field. For example, engineering can improve drug delivery methods and processes."
Just like Mumtaz, Kin Mun didn't wait around for opportunities to be served to him on a platter; he looked around and found a work attachment with the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, doing laboratory work in science research.
Towards a Brighter Future
Kin Mun believes it is this drive to make a difference that set him and Mumtaz apart from other peers and was also one of the reasons why the both of them were awarded the OCBC Scholarship.
"I want to be a leader and be the purveyor of change in my field of interest. My previous leadership experiences in Scouts prove that," Kin Mun says.
Mumtaz agrees with Kin Mun, adding that having a clear purpose of what you want to do will also appeal greatly to the panel of interviewers.
"My passion to serve the community probably played a great part in the panel's decision to award me the scholarship," Mumtaz says.
When I asked the two protagonists what advice they would give to aspiring OCBC scholars, Kin Mun advocates having the ability to clearly articulate their ideas while Mumtaz says that they need to convince the panel that they will be an asset to society.
"The OCBC Scholarship has provided the both of us with a fulfilling university education and the choice of retaining our career flexibility. We can't ask for anything more," the duo echoes.
The OCBC Local Undergraduate Scholarship is valued at $9,000 per annum and has no bond. Successful applicants will be a part of an elite group of scholars, past, current and future, and will receive internship opportunities with the bank as well as receive career-related advice from OCBC.

Book Name: An Erie Halloween
Series: Lake Erie Shifters
Book: One
Release Date: October 20, 2013
Templeton Reed has been hiding his inner polecat since he was a child. Keeping his animal secreted is hard for a shifter, especially when one is living in a secret community of mystical beings. It`s the wolf shifters that cause Templeton the most trouble with their darned sensitive noses.
Templeton has a run-in with the Lake Erie pack and their alpha, Mikel Lupei, at the Office for Transmogrification Registration (OTTER). Templeton has a desk job checking registration papers and dealing with wolf shifters is not part of his job description. After that upsetting meeting the meek and mild office worker suddenly finds himself in the center of not only civil unrest among the shifter community, but a violent plan for a coup aimed at rousting Mikel.
Templeton and Mikel, a skilled tracker of rogue shifters, are soon not only fighting for their lives, they
re also fighting the rigidly archaic rules of their kind, as well as the person responsible for trying to take over Mikels pack from the inside. Can this magical odd couple turn a passionate attraction into a full-fledged love affair?

As I walked, I rolled odd change around inside my coat pockets. The streets were busy as last minute shoppers ran to get their candy and costumes for the big night tomorrow. Head down and mind running a mile a minute, I never saw the brick wall disguised as a man I ran into. Face into the wind, I never smelled him either. The amber eyes and brindle hair were all that stopped me from either screaming or shifting. Mikel pulled me into a small bookstore. I went along because I really had no choice, but once inside the quaint bookery, I jerked my arm from his grasp. Several patrons glanced at us. Mikel muscled me into a row holding non-fiction and historical. He grabbed a book and opened it, his sharp gaze flitting between me and a fascinating how-to grow-your-own-beets book.
"Is there a reason you abducted me from the street?" I asked, moving back slightly when his big body pressed closer to allow a woman to pass behind him. His proximity was beyond distressing. It was arousing. Now that he had me cornered, there was no getting away from the heady scent that he exuded: Part sin, part warm fur, part earthy pine, wholly distracting.
ve been trying to contact you for days. Why didnt you return my calls?" he whispered, keeping his big chest plastered to my left arm. My spine was firmly against a bookshelf.
"There are several reasons," I replied trying to sound snooty but sounding meagerly twitterpated. "One is that our classes don`t mix. . ."
"That`s a paltry reason, Templeton," Mikel said gruffly, snapping his beet book closed.
"Well, it may be for you, but when one`s boss tells one to keep his distance and – hey!" I grabbed for my glasses when he plucked them off the bridge of my nose. Folding my arms over my pea coat, I glowered at the oaf. There would be no leaping up and down. Those days ended when I left high school. The touch of his fingers on my chin brought out an age-old response. I jerked back hard. The bookcase behind me wobbled dangerously. Mikel dropped his book to steady the shelving unit. My heart was trying to explode through my chest like an alien baby. The lycan inhaled several times then gave me a dark look.
"Calm yourself, Templeton, your odor is growing stronger."
"Sorry, it`s just this is all too – too much," I gasped, working to calm myself before the tingling at the base of my spine began. The bells over the front door tinkled melodiously. Soft conversation bounced off the spines of books. Mikel tipped my head back and kissed me. Right there in the middle of the non-fiction. His lips were soft. Sinfully soft. It took my lashes a moment after his mouth left mine to flutter upward. Squinting skyward, I tried to read his face but it was a blur. My glasses were placed back onto my face, albeit crookedly, and then I could see the glow of golden eyes. Oh my . .

A partial inner sleeve wraps the foot for a plush, breathable fit and feel, and foam in the collar and heel lends comfort and a locked-in fit around the ankle.

This cleat's speed plate has a 7-cleat configuration for a lighter, faster control system. Three supplemental, on-demand cleats in the forefoot offer ground-gripping traction during toe-offs and quick cuts, while a talon cleat under the toe gives extra traction for quick take-offs. Shovel cleats in the sidewall allow for lateral cuts and a shark tooth pyramid pattern in the heel and forefoot provides lightweight traction and durability.

By Michael Baker
A new idea has popped up in our criminal justice system – that a criminal defendant should be allowed to present evidence of his neurological state in order to prove that he's not guilty (or not that guilty) for a crime that he committed. The overarching idea is that a person shouldn't be held accountable for the things that they do as a result of the way that they think. It's not the criminal's fault that he thinks like a criminal.
To me, this seems both totally obvious and completely ridiculous at the same time. I mean, of course you do the things you do because of the way that your brain works. And of course you don't really have control of the way that your brain works (to the extent that you do, your ability to control it is a function of how your brain works). So of course if your brain is the brain of a criminal then you're going to do criminal things; if you don't then your brain isn't really the brain of a criminal, is it? And yes, that's completely circular.
But should that mean anything in terms of how we think of criminal culpability? I think not. If we take the stance that a person should not be held responsible for things that they do as a result of their mental state, then we're basically saying that no one should ever be punished or commended for anything that they do. It also ignores the fact that our criminal justice system isn't just there to punish or rehabilitate, but also to protect law abiding citizens by segregating those who don't know how to play nice.
I do think that neuroscience has a proper place in the criminal justice system. It makes sense to use this evidence to determine criminal sentencing, in order to decide who can be rehabilitated and how. But how judges would analyze that evidence would present a whole new field of legal discourse. It seems to me that it could be a real Pandora's Box. But on the bright side, maybe we'll get a new Law & Order spinoff out of this.

Welcome! As a profession, I am a programmer. I thoroughly enjoy programming and it involves quite a bit of creativity, but everyone needs hobbies to keep them sane.
For me, one of those hobbies if photography. Photography gives me different type of creative outlet which I can enjoy for myself and share with others. I have my camera with me at almost all times, and anything that is a willing subject is game for my camera. Inanimate objects, scenery, human beings, animals, plants, you name it. I strive to bring the best out of my photos, and hope to convey the subject matter, emotions, and essence of the events, people, and objects that I photograph.

some people may think this of my life. In a nutshell, it's had it's losses and heartaches…I've lost a brother, a son, a brother in law. We have kids with special issues, church challenges…then there is this tumour…
Ok, now tell me who DOESN'T have things in their life that stretch and challenge them and I will show you a person who hasn't really lived.
Let's face it we are ALL dying. You, me, my kids, my friends…every human that has ever lived has ceased to live at some point. We are born, we die and in between we live life. It's in how we live it…now there's the trick!
I love living! I love facing a challenge head on. Ok, except when I'm in pain and tired. Then I just want to go to bed.
My son asked "Why us?" I said "Why not?" There are people dying every day, dealing with terrible disease and poverty and we live in a country where we get fairly decent medical care. We are safe, warm and loved. Why NOT us? Maybe it's in a bigger plan, a bigger picture. God has more going on than just me, just us. There is something much bigger at work here.
I haven't been dealt a lousy hand at all. I had parents that loved me, thought I was beautiful. They gave me love, a stable home and lived in the sunny Shuswap where I grew up loving water and beaches.
Then I got to marry the man of my dreams. He treats me with respect, kindness, love and tenderness. After a lot of hardship and tragedy, I got to be a mom to four amazing little blessings that some days make me crazy and other days build character in me.
I get to live in the best province EVER…Alberta. It rocks. Alberta has mountains, it has rivers, it has oil and it has great people. It has lots and lots of open spaces that look so great in the summer. In the winter, well, in the winter I wish I was born in the tropics…but I got to go to the tropics TWICE in my life. TWICE and that is pretty darn cool.
We have family here. My inlaws have made our lives rich and beautiful in ways I never imagined. We get to spend time with them now and again. I love me my inlaws!!
I have friends. Really, really awesome friends. Friends who make me laugh, friends who listen to me whine about the hard days and friends who come and hang pictures etc for me because I haven't learned how to drill holes yet. I have friends that let me bunk in their home when I have to drive to the city and they make me feel like I'm at home.
We live in a pretty terrific community. One that rallies around people in distress and fixes things and feeds you things and makes you feel special and loved.
We have a small but loving church family. They shine Jesus to us. They warm us with their special-ness. We live in a warm and tiny home where we are free to make our chaos and let people come in and see it.
We have a far away family that we can skype and love. We travel every single year to Manitoba so we can enjoy the prairies for days without end from a van and then pile out and have fun with the rest of the extended family.
We have the internet in this day and age and I can communicate with people I had long since lost contact with. Now I can text my best bud from high school. How great is that? I sure do miss her though!
I haven't been dealt a lousy hand. It's been a fantastic life. And it's not over yet. I am prepared to enjoy all the moments I can, and medicate the moments that are painful (like actually physically painful). I love my life. Oh, it has it's challenges…but don't we all? Every one of us?
If you have no trouble or no challenge then how are you growing as a person?
See it's in the choices we make. It's in the paths we choose when the challenges come before us. Do we face it head on or do we skirt around it and avoid it by pretending it's not there. Do we let God in and make it beautiful, even joyful?Taking joy in the moments that are beautiful and sacred. That's what I'm hoping I keep doing. It's what I hope my kids see, on this bumpy road we are on.
We have a terrific life. It's going to get a little crazy here and there, but that's life.
James 1:2 ESV
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,
Romans 12:12 ESV
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

The clients that book a boudoir session are not relegated to one particular personality or body type. This creates quite the challenge for the boudoir photographer. The key is to start slow, chat up front, and choose a relatively tame and easy first setup in order to gauge your client's personality and exhibitionist threshold.
Most photographers have a very strict time limit. After all, time is money. However, in boudoir, rushing a client through a session can result in an uncomfortable, and worse, unproductive session. So in order provide a positive experience, harvest some beautiful work, and garner that most coveted word-of-mouth business, I advise setting aside 2-3 hours so that neither of you feel rushed. It will be rewarding for both of you as you stretch your creativity and create an enjoyable and relaxing environment.
The first step I generally take is to go through the wardrobe the client brought with her. The wardrobe will tell you quite a bit about your client's style and even bravery level. Are there a lot of soft pastels and modest sets? Does she have wicked heels, boots, and a plethora of black lingerie? Whatever she has, this will be her comfort zone.
As I go through and "shop" through her belongings, I start to put together outfits and mentally decide which setups these outfits best belong. I also go through my own stash and supplement with accessories such as fans, boas, gloves, jewelry, masks and other props. Once we have decided on 4-5 outfits, I send the client to change into the first outfit which, based on our casual chat, feels the most comfortable for her.
The Set-Up:
I shoot all boudoir sessions in my home, mostly because I have the privilege of living in the country and having several rooms for optimal light and staging. It allows maximum privacy, and houses bins of lingerie, accessories, and shoes that are not easily transported. I also have special pieces of furniture dedicated for boudoir, both indoor and out.
The first set-up usually portrays a nervous client. And the most surprising aspect I have learned? Regardless of age or body shape, every woman has insecurities. I have been told about "bad sides", body issues, and strictly forbidden position instructions from a variety of women. My goal is to start with the basic poses, generally the ones meant to hide whichever insecurity has been highlighted to me. The bottom line is that all women have a beautiful side and it is your job as a photographer to do the best to emphasize it. Some positions will work, and some won't. If one appears to be an epic fail, it is your fault, not hers. Take the picture and move on, knowing you won't use it later.
The Progression:
As you work with the client and change up the wardrobe, make sure you are not just taking pictures. Part of your job is to establish a rapport with your client. Some of the poses can feel pretty silly to the client, and it is okay to laugh about it with her. Making an "O" face on command while hugging a stucco wall can seem ridiculous! Often, it leads to the client exaggerating the pose and that can produce some stunning results.
Laughter is an amazingly effective way to push your client out of her comfort zone. By costume change 3 or 4, I hand her a lingerie combination that is opposite of her preference. This is often met with murmurs of protest and some doubtful expressions, but honestly, many of these have become my absolute favorites in post-processing. Hence the appeal of Halloween and cosplay—people want to step out of their daily role and personality once in a while. After all, the women haven't changed from their childhood role of playing dress-up—just the costumes have.
Finding The Line:
Every woman has her line. It's invisible and not articulated, so watch her reactions and know where to stop so as not to turn a positive experience into something awkward. This is about what she wants, and if you want unlimited creativity, hire a model. The client's needs always comes first.

and I'm a pop-aholic. Always have been. In recent years, I switched to Coke Zero, because I can't stand Diet Coke, and wanted to avoid all the calories in the real stuff. But I drank a lot of pop regardless.
It's been a week since my last Coke, or pop of any sort. Last Sunday night was the last one. I had a small amount of 7up last week, but other than that, it's been water, milk, and juice. I am allowing myself lemonade at lunch, because it's free and it's like crack. It was entirely a spur of the moment decision, based on losing some weight and avoiding all the unhealthy stuff in pop.
It's been really, really hard. I crave pop. One of my students said she read somewhere that it's harder to give up caffeine than cigarettes, and I believe it after this week! Another student bowed down to me in admiration today when I told her about it. I've noticed certain places are hotspots, places where I've always bought a Coke. It seems harder at those places and times. But it's been rewarding...after the headaches stopped (oh, the headaches!), I felt more clear-headed. And my pants fit better. Nothing wrong with that!
I don't intend to give up caffeine forever, just trying to get myself over this crazy addiction. I gave myself a two-week limit, then after that, I'll try and see how I can handle it.
One more week. I can do this.

Further Information
One of the most common misconceptions about cannabis is that you cannot become addicted to this drug. In truth, experts estimate that about 10% of people who misuse cannabis will eventually become addicted to it.
Two characteristics of addiction that can make the disorder so difficult to overcome without professional help are tolerance and withdrawal. Tolerance means that as your body adapts to the presence of cannabis, you will need to use greater quantities of the drug in order to experience the desired effect. Withdrawal refers to the variety of unpleasant symptoms that you may experience when you try to stop using cannabis.
Detoxification, or detox, refers to the medically supervised process during which a person can rid their body of cannabis and other addictive substances.
In cannabis detox at Priory, you will have the continued support of experienced professionals throughout the process. Throughout your time in our detox programme, you will be in a safe and comfortable environment and you will have access to medical and nursing staff members 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Withdrawal is a temporary experience, and cannabis withdrawal does not typically put your continued health at risk. However, the intensity of the symptoms and the fear of what will come next can undermine even the most fervent desire to start living a drug-free life.
While you in are in detox at Priory, your discomfort will be eased and any fear of the unknown can be eliminated. Our compassionate professionals will be at your side throughout the process. They can help you to manage your symptoms, and their familiarity with all phases of withdrawal means that they can help you overcome any challenges that may threaten your continued progress.
Once you have completed detox, which typically takes a few days, you can then transfer directly into our residential programme, where you will begin to develop the skills to support your new drug-free life.
Contrary to another unfortunately persistent piece of incorrect information, you can indeed experience withdrawal symptoms when attempting to overcome an addiction to cannabis.
Depending upon the nature and severity of your cannabis addiction, your body may react in the following ways when you try to stop using cannabis:
The extreme discomfort of these withdrawal symptoms, and the knowledge that they can be alleviated simply by once again misusing cannabis, can quickly push you back into this self-defeating behaviour if you try to quit cannabis without professional support.
But there is a better option. When you enter treatment at a Priory hospital, you can participate in our detoxification programme. In this programme, you will receive professional help to get you through the withdrawal process comfortably, and prepare you to overcome your cannabis addiction.
Participating in detox at Priory provides you with the following benefits:
