Ile-Ife Set To Unveil Queen Moremi Ajasoro; To Host Contestants from 8 States
The House of Oduduwa is indeed in top gear to promote the Yoruba culture to the ends of the world, as it is collaborating with Bonah Incorporated and In-House Entertainment to bring to life the story of the Martyr and Warrior Queen of Ile-Ife Kingdom through a first of its kind beauty pageant.
His Imperial Majesty, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, Ooni of Ife, who just received the key to the city of Newark, USA for his positive influence on the youths in Africa, and for his giant strides in such a short period, has announced the quest to unveil Queen Moremi Ajasoro in line with the kingdom's agenda to showcase Ile-Ife as a tourism zone to the world.
Speaking at a briefing after His Imperial Majesty commissioned the project team shortly before he left for the USA, Dr. Olakunle Balogun; CEO, Bonah Incoporated; the Project Director said, "this is a rare privilege and an opportunity to serve kingdom and country. Its a project that would set certain standards within and outside Nigeria. This event is totally going to promote culture, beauty and the essence of womanhood. We'll be unveiling and reliving Queen Moremi Ajasoro; the Queen who led Ile-Ife to victory in a battle hundreds of years ago.
So our eventual Queen must be bold, beautiful and emerge an integral cultural ambassador from Ife kingdom to the world as she would be showcased across the world. The contest would involve 8 States, which is unprecedented. The States are Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo, Kwara, and Kogi. The six southwest States of Oduduwa, Kwara because Moremi was from Offa and Kogi because her mother hailed from there" he said.
The project team consists of competent hands from both organizations. On the team is Dr. Olakunle Balogun, Alhaji Abubakre Akeem, Others are Babatunde Oyinlola and Ajilore Yewande, and the producers of Ile-Ife Fiesta; Dayo Taiwo, Dayo Oyegbola and Ayo George. Speaking on behalf of the team, Ayo George; the Assistant Project Director told journalists that it was a privilege to be involved in such a mega project. He said "projects like these enhance and promote culture. Kabiesi who has undoubtedly become the global ambassador of culture and tourism, has once again demonstrated his resolve to keep promoting the Yoruba culture across the world.
We are about to shake the southwest as Ile-Ife would be hosting the world come October. And whatever project In-House Entertainment is involved in is always a hit back to back and this won't be an exception". He concluded.

It's no secret San Diego has the best weather. Each month we ask one of our favorite San Diegans:
What else makes this city great?
Sonya Sparks
Work: Gaslamp Quarter
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in San Carlos, a small residential community in San Diego. Nearby you can find Grossmont College, Lake Murray, Mission Trails, and La Mesa — all great places to be out and about. Locals know this area well.
What brought you to San Diego?
I came with my parents around age 4 when they moved back home after a couple of years in Michigan. I hear the weather played a huge role in their move back, along with family being in town. My grandparents (on my mother's side) originally were stationed here when they joined the Navy.
Besides the weather, why do you continue to call San Diego home?
I travel often, and each time I come back to San Diego, I love it a little bit more. I miss certain things when I am gone: the dry warm air, palm trees, the warmth of the sun on my skin, the diverse array of local and international foods, our beautiful outdoor spaces, and the laid-back culture. I also love finding little pockets of history in our young town, which is why we chose the Sterling Hardware Building as the location for Sparks Gallery. It was a hardware store for decades, built in 1924. Before that, in the same location, there was a glass maker and carriage works, a small hotel, and a vaudeville theater with trapeze artists. We love to share the story of the space with our visitors. I feel that pairing modern local artwork with this historic space is a great contrast to show where we came from as a city, and how our local artists are interpreting their modern environment. It will be exciting to see what lies ahead for San Diego.

Independent Bookshop Week : Remember the MillionsMissing #ME
What if you couldn't visit your local bookshop? What if it took you a day's bed rest to recover from making a pot of a tea? What if you had to choose between washing your hair and reading a chapter? When you are severely disabled even the tiniest task can be a herculean feat.
I'd like to use Independent Bookshop Week as an opportunity for a shout out to all those readers who cannot physically visit our bookshop, or any bookshop, because their disease has robbed them of the opportunity. In particular, this is a shout out to all those living with M.E.

Hello, and welcome to our new site chronicling the looks worn by HRH, Prince George of Cambridge. We couldn't be happier you stopped by for a visit. Our goal is to simply provide an ongoing compendium of pieces worn by HRH, notable toys, gifts, or other items of note. By the very nature of Prince George's age and limited public appearances it's unlikely WPGW will offer an abundance of posts. But that doesn't mean we won't do our best to make them informative and fun, with hopes you enjoy your time here.
Like our sister page, What Kate Wore, we welcome comments. We also echo the standards established by that site: this is not a place for political debates, discussion of the monarchy as an institution, or other topics of a controversial nature. It is a page about the clothing, toys and accompanying accessories worn/used by a little boy.

For many years, when I worked for The Indy, we had a separate class of shares for employee-owners, who elected half the board. It was an important model of workplace democracy, empowering employees who worked for below-market wages while also providing a critical policy voice. We employee board members never had to recuse ourselves; it's the nature of a good board that its members have skin in the organization's operation and success.
Thanks, everyone for your responses to this story. Thanks, too, for the many posts on Facebook and Twitter.
To reconcile Bret McGraw's (accurate) comment with my own (accurate) observation: Like all the Ron Paul supporters within North Carolina's delegation, McGraw shouted "No!" during the voice votes and joined the calls for division. During the protracted commotion that ensued, he sat quietly.
Thanks, everyone, for your affirmation of what was a difficult but important essay for me to write. Sage: We have tweaked the first paragraph to acknowledge the magnificent Skinks.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'R4 DS' started by ben23492, Mar 22, 2010.
I have this R4- http://www.r4ds.me/
Is that a clone?
You absolutely sure you have that R4? Not just a look-a-like?
No, not sure.
It looks the exact same, and came in the same box.
The only thing is that my one is black.
More than likley.
Either way, it's still a shitty cart and an even worse 'investment' that will only serve you pain & stress for as long as you own it!
I've never had any problems with it.
Apart from not being able to play Mario and Luigi 3.
The last actual r4 carts were made in 2007, so most likely yes. its a clone.
If it works on any DSi or can take SD cards bigger than 2 gigs, then it's a clone.
If it has ANYTHING added to its name (IE: upgrade x, gold, hyper-serial-cart), then it's a clone.
If you didn't carefully buy it off one of only a very select few websites, then it's a clone.

Wishing bottle.. And Mixed media Monday.
Mixed media Monday has "Embellish it" as a theme tomorrow... Well LOL.... fits me to a tea and this bottle, so I am entering it. Not only did I embellish physically.. but especially for the Dear Joanne Wardle... I am embellishing the story of the bottle too. (apologies in advance if I dont coment on your mixed media monday entries as I am heading off on holiday tomorrow.)
This is a rare bottle and similar to the message in a bottle philosophy. Simply write down your wish on parchment or the more modern "paper", roll it up and pop it in to the bottle... its advised to add a little something for the little people who will retrieve the bottle and decide if they should grant your wish. I have heard they are partial to humbugs. leave it near an open window or on the doorstep over night. All there is to do now is wait.

Regional overview
Regional overview
Updated to Q2 2018
European isopropanol (IPA) supply has fallen in Q2 as a result of lower availability from the US. The weaker euro vs the dollar and high domestic prices in America have made US-Europe arbitrage increasingly difficult. Because of this and spreads against feedstocks returning to historical norms, European IPA prices' downward trend came to an end in Q2. Supply from domestic producers, however, has remained relatively consistent in Q2 with no unplanned shutdowns reported in the market.
European IPA demand has risen quarter on quarter in line with typical seasonal trends in Q2. IPA is linked to the construction industry which sees an upswing in activity over the summer as a result of improved weather. However, demand is lower on a year-on-year basis as a result of the weaker and more uncertain outlook for the European economy, which has resulted in reduced business activity and a more pessimistic outlook in PMI surveys.
Price reporting
Price reporting
The European isopropanol (IPA) report is a weekly report published every Friday. Now, in that report we focus on pharmaceutical and technical grade prices. What that does is give us a holistic view across the market. So we know the trends that are going on; we know prices, and we can compare those prices to come up with a complete price for isopropanol.
We speak to all the key producers, all of the key buyers and traders. IPA is a predominantly distribution led market.
So we speak to a number of distributors in order to gain a picture across the entirety of the market. What that does, is that it ensures that our information is accurate, timely and reliable
It means that we will know what's going on in the little corners and the niche areas of the market and so that we don't miss anything.
Price history

I have also been to the Bell in Tewkesbury - we had lunch there last summer.
I do believe someone found the Bell wanting enough to complaint to Miss Lawrence. Imagine, with a well equipped writing desk in the lobby and a post box outside, Miss Lawrence might have received the letter of her life.ReplyDelete
I agree with Diane. No nuffin.ReplyDelete
And amazingly, as the world is filled with places I have not been to, I have in fact been to Tewkesbury more than once. By boat with Katie & Desmond for example. There's a way to arrive in a new town. I seem to remember the Abbey is worth a visit although very high (clouds of incense).

Deconstructing A Shark Attack
If you're a surfer (and even if you're not) I'd allege that sharks are lurking somewhere in your consciousness of late.
I personally still can't wrap my head around Mick Fanning's confrontation and survival against old whitey. In the final of a WSL event. Broadcast to the world on live television and the web. No matter how many times I watch the attack (see below), it still shocks me.
The North coast of NSW is abuzz with debate following a spate of shark attacks in the last 12months. To cull or not to cull? Do we have a right to feel safe in their territory? Why are seemingly more attacks happening?
These are sticky questions and I'm not even going there.
Of all the media delirium over "Sharks Gone Wild" I most enjoyed reading journalist Shannon Harvey's article What A Shark Attack Can Teach Us About Stress. It's not about sharks. It's about the chemical reactions that underpin the 'fight or flight' response in our body, and it's fascinating.
Harvey discusses the science behind why Julian Wilson felt compelled to paddle TOWARDS rather than away from Fanning and the shark i.e. we often have a hardwired instinct to HELP others in stressful situations. And the bear hugs and torrents of tears from Mick and his mates in the wake of the attack might actually have guided the body back to a state of chemical harmony.
I've followed Shannon's blog since watching her documentary The Connection. She was diagnosed with a chronic disease 10 years ago, and the film is about her journey in discovering the inextricable link between mind and body, and how we can use this to our benefit by learning how to better manage stress. It's worth a watch if you're into psychology and health.
As for the men in grey suits- if you feel like being both spooked and intrigued- this old issue of Surfing World Magazine includes George Greenough describing some crazy ass shark encounters and why he believes he is still alive. He reckons he would've been mince had he furiously scurried away from the sharks. Rather, he treaded water and faced them so he didn't appear as prey. Gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it….

Friends you Buy
People say that money can't buy friends. That's not true. I bought one for US$ 45. She was supposed to be Tom's friend, not mine or my daughter's, but his. She was our present to him; a man in need of a friend. We named her Fiera, the ferocious one, a deliberately-chosen misnomer for a dog who, from the day we took her out of the SPCA, had a permanent expression of bewilderment, as if the world was a never-ending pinata bursting open just for her. She was the nervous type, she peed if she was excited, if she was nervous, if she was happy, if she was upset. She used her bladder as a means of communicating with the world. And she communicated often.
Fiera and Tom developed a strange friendship. As a puppy, he would take her flying in his helicopter and she would stay put in the copilot's seat, looking straight into the control panel, mesmerized by either his ability to whisk her up in the air, fly her over Disney World, Gatorland and Old Town, all those out-of-reach places for a dog that was supposed to have been euthanized the day we adopted her, or by the whirring of the engine which seemed to have a hypnotic effect on her. Whatever the reason, she, like Tom, felt at home in the helicopter's cockpit. I'll never know if the way she wagged her tail (in circles, like the blades of a helicopter, rather than side ways) had anything to do with Tom, but I have never seen a dog wag her tail in circular motions.
She was part German Shepherd, part Rhodesian Ridgeback, part scaredy cat, and partially human. She was for all intents and purposes, Tom's baby and in the process of having a baby in the house, she also became our unruly friend. A friend that never got used to be out without a leash, a friend that couldn't do a single trick, a friend that never quite understood that a squirrel is faster than a dog, a friend that barked for no reason, and trapped live bugs that she couldn't get out of her mouth. She protected us, amused us, annoyed us and was a part of our lives for eight years.
But yesterday, I took her to the vet and asked him to euthanize her. She had rectal cancer and the external tumor had connected with the one in her stomach. We didn't even know dogs could get cancer. We thought cancer was something that happens only to humans. But it happened to The Ferocious One. She was confused, had stopped eating, and was in visible discomfort. We don't let friends suffer, if we can help it. So we did, what we had to do. We decided her fate.
After talking to the veterinarian, Fiera and I had a few minutes alone and I thanked her for being such a good dog, for having been a good friend to Tom when he desperately needed one, for guarding us, for being just about the silliest dog on earth and for never failing to get a smile out of me even in my darkest hour. Then the vet walked in and I knew it was time to let Fiera's body rest. He told me to hold her face close to mine, to look into her eyes and to whisper things to her, to make sure she felt loved, which I did. He put the needle in, and she gave me one of those puppy looks that she always did and in seconds she exhaled in my arms. It was quick and painless. They wrapped her in a biodegradable bag, then in a blanket and they put her in the back of my car.I drove home with my dead friend, grabbed a shovel and dug a hole in our back yard. I went to Home Depot and bought fresh soil, mulch and a little plant that gives blue orchids. And just as I was about to walk back in the house, I wondered if there was a way to know whether or not animals have souls, whether she was the reincarnation of a different being or if she will ever make it back to this transient world as a different living being. And since I didn't have an answer, I thought it smart to cover all of my bases and assume that Fiera did have a soul which, presumably like a human soul, lingers for a while. I buried her surrounded by wine bottles, so she doesn't forget that the people who loved her so much, also loved wine.

Local people feel very strongly that Camberwell needs to change from being a neglected through route in South London and to return to the vibrant town centre that it used to be. In addition to improvements to public transport in the area, the streets need to change significantly and become more welcoming, easier to use and safer for those on foot who live, work and visit SE5.
We have created a short document that outlines how the Town Centre might change (see below).
We are also very keen to have your thoughts and ideas so that we can make sure they are taken into consideration as the plans for Camberwell move forward. Please do send us your thoughts and pictures and we will post them on this page.

Are you a person who needs to become something, or mark your personality in the society or make more money? Then you should be motivated by yourselves. Self motivation is a 'must thing' if you are professional, sales person, student or anybody. In short, if you a human being, you should be self motivated for your success.
Below are 'YOU MUST' rules for self motivation. Check this out and see the changes in your life.
Rule 1) YOU MUST-Set your goals::: Note down in a book what you want to achieve as your goals. It should be differentiated as 'long term '(That may take some time) and 'short term'(which can be achieved soon) goals and what action plans are you going to imply to achieve those goals. Important part of this rule is that you should review this regularly (weekly or monthly as per your comfort).
Rule 2} YOU MUST-Reward Yourselves::::You can see around how companies or organizations are rewarding achievers for their success, like lunch, tours, cash, movie tickets etc . Same thing you can do for yourselves. It should be memorable and happen on every stage of your success.
Rule 3) YOU MUST-Learn from the failures:::: Every humans have gone through failures, you are not the only one. Remember Abraham Lincoln faced 14 major failures in his life before he became President of US!!!! Failing is not the matter, learning from failure is what matters. Take down the pen, write down your major failures in life. Write what was reason for them. (This part is important because you are not supposed to repeat those mistakes again). On your regular review, check whether you are repeating them.
Rule 4) YOUMUST-Never Procrastinate:::: Remember, PROCRASTINATION or postponement can be your biggest enemy!!! If you have something to be done, do it immediately. Just rewind your memories, you can find lots of losses, no matter small or big, you faced because of procrastination.
Rule5)YOU MUST-Fight with you::::Your ultimate boss is you. Remember, if you lose, you are the first person to suffer. If you win, you are the first person to enjoy. So, if you become lazy, scold you; If you are not utilizing your time, scold you. Remember, your manager can easily replace you, If you are not there, your friend may find another one. But, YOU CANNOT REPLACE YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!
Rule6)YOU MUST-Have fun::::Give your mind and body pleasure. Discover what you like most for fun. Do it often. Find at least half an hour for recreation.
Keep in mind, self motivation is a vital part in your success. Practice these rules regularly, and your achievements will fall in place.

very interesing and motivating.keep up the good workReplyDelete
I think all of your suggestions are spot on. I've been working on positivity - Every day I post three things that make me happy, are positive thoughts, or good things that are happening to me. No longer am I writing about falling off stools, allergies, or bad backs. The items may be silly or seem inconsequential but it began to honestly change my attitude during the day.ReplyDelete
great list - i'll remember this when i fight and/or reward myself and have less fun than i should - cheers alanReplyDelete
the significance of body gestures is well documented; actually this non-verbal conversation speaks volumes about one's character and state-of your brain at that one time. In still another term, a person conveys his thoughts in addition to point of view through his human structure and the beauty is based on the truth that he does it subconsciously.ReplyDelete

>Lyrically Speaking: Charlie Darwin
admin | Feb 09, 2011 | Comments 0
With a new album, "Smart Flesh," ready to hit the streets on Feb. 22, I figured it would be nice to give some kudos to Low Anthem's surely most popular song from its 2009 album, "Oh My God Charlie Darwin." It's a song that despite how many times you hear it, it still sends chills down your spine.
The Rhode Island band of Ben Knox Miller, Jeff Prystowsky and Jocie Adams provide some of the most beautiful high harmonies and ethereal moody instrumentation to back lyrics of a world in turmoil. Are they about the past or the present?: "And who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin/The lords of war just profit from decay/And trade their children's promise for the jingle/The way we trade our hard earned time for pay." Adams' sparse bowing of her instrument called a crotales as well as a beautiful clarinet solo adds to ghostly atmosphere of the tune.
We can't wait to hear what the band has in store on the new album.
Charlie Darwin
Set the sails I feel the winds a'stirring
Toward the bright horizon set the way
Cast your wreckless dreams upon our Mayflower
Haven from the world and her decay
And who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin
Fighting for a system built to fail
Spooning water from their broken vessels
As far as I can see there is no land
Oh my god, the water's all around us
Oh my god, it's all around
And who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin
The lords of war just profit from decay
And trade their children's promise for the jingle
The way we trade our hard earned time for pay
Oh my god, the water's cold and shapeless
Oh my god, it's all around
Oh my god, life is cold and formless
Oh my god, it's all around

UX & UI : The Essential Ingredients of a User-Friendly Web Design
- 07 August
The term 'user-friendly' is thrown around a lot with regard to mobile apps and websites, but what does it actually mean? Technically, user-friendly design can be defined as UX and UI – user experience and user interaction. We see UX and UI are the XOXO (yup, that's hugs and kisses) of user-friendly web design simply because these two elements of web design represent what kind of message you're trying to relay to your visitors and what impression you want them to have of your website. In today's article, I provide a simple overview of the subject and explain exactly how businesses should design their mobile apps and websites. So, let's figure out what kind of message you're getting across by first learning about what elements cause perceptions from your online visitors.
Social Media Usage in Bahrain
- 04 August
More than 50% of the Middle East Internet users spend their time on Social Media to connect with friends, colleagues, and elders. And the rest major portion spend time gaining information, watching videos, listening to music and sharing photos.
Why Responsive Design Matters?
- 27 June
These days smartphones have become an inevitable part of human life. It's learned that there's been an exponential growth in the usage of social media, internet browser, games, app, etc through these smartphones as compared to desktops and laptops.
Gone are the days flash websites would work on these latest gadgets, and now, your old static type websites will look less organized on your user's mobile device.
The major search engine company Google took a deeper look at users' expectations and reactions towards their site experiences on mobile. "Most interestingly," said Google, "61% of people said that they'd quickly move onto another site if they didn't find what they were looking for right away on a mobile site. The bottom line: Without a mobile-friendly site you'll be driving users to your competition. In fact, 67% of users are more likely to buy from a mobile-friendly site, so if that site's not yours, you'll be missing out in a big way."

Google is clearly marking websites which are mobile friendly, and consider if your website search result doesn't have that tag around the content, then your website will see a reduced mobile traffic.
What is a Responsive Web Design?
Responsive web design allows a site's layout to change as per the screen size's dimensions. A widescreen display can receive a site with multiple columns of content while a small screen can have that same content presented in a single column with text and links that are appropriately sized to be read and used on that smaller display.
The 4 key reasons why a responsive web design is inevitable!
1. Multi-Device User Support
We live in a world where we use several gadgets to access information on the internet. Most of our customers tend to return back to our website even from their smartphones or tablets on-the-go. So it's important to present a website which ensures consistency on any device with any resolution.
We are all aware of the remarketing methods, and chances are high that your customer may look for a specific feature or return back to his previous website session. But for some reason, if you have missed out on the mobile friendliness feature, the chances of losing your customer to your competitor's mobile-friendly site is really high. If you make sure you are keeping a consistent layout of your website on all screen sizes, you're sure to not give them a reason to abandon your site halfway.
2. One Site to Rule Them All
It always advisable to have a global site for all. Instead of managing two or more, and keeping updated with the content, analytics and user insights on all these platforms is challenging. It's also effort taking for your technical team to manage all these websites and fix bugs on all these websites. This is why a responsive website is more preferred over separate websites for desktops and smartphones.
Having one website to manage and one user friendly control panel to manage that site will make it easier to keep the site updated. These days, we have very user friendly Content Management Systems (CMS) solutions based on PHP – Wordpress, Joomla, Magento, Drupal, etc and on ASP.NET- DNN, Sitefinity, Umbraco, Kentico,etc. These content management systems can be developed and suited to match your unique business setup and can be also easily managed later on by even a non–tech person. Digital Agencies like Spark Digitus can help develop and design responsive websites and even provide training to staffs once deployed.
3. Improved Search Engine Rankings
In order to get in the search engine giant's search results, it's mandatory that we follow their plan. As of April 21st, 2015, Google began rewarding sites that were built mobile friendly, and it also started penalizing those who are not, making responsive web design an important factor in SEO (search engine optimization) strategy.
4. Future Scalability
Having a responsive website keeps you future proof. It gives you the best chance to support newer devices and screens in future, without tweaking the dimensions manually, each and every time.
Responsive sites are fluid, scaling up or down as needed to best fit the screens being used to access the site. This means that as when new devices hit the market, your website would be automatically suited to its screen size, without compromising on your design and overall user experience.
Digital agencies can help you prepare best responsive mobile friendly websites that are suited to your business requirements and can help you get better returns from your investment.

Flip or Flop stars Tarek and Christina El Moussa have called it quits after seven years of marriage.
"Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage. We had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution," they said in a statement People. "There was no violence and no charges were filed."
"During the process, we are committed to our kids and being the best parents we can be. We will continue to work through this process civilly and cooperatively, and plan to continue our professional life together," Tarek and Christina added.
Their split comes after police responded to a call about a "possibly suicidal male with a gun" at the couple's home back in May. According to TMZ, a helicopter and more than a dozen authorities showed up to find Tarek after he had fled the scene. Witnesses also say they saw Christina run out of the house sobbing and trembling just shortly after the incident.
HGTV also released a statement regarding the couple's split and the future of the show. "We admire and appreciate Tarek and Christina's great work on Flip or Flop," the network explained. "When it comes to matters related to their own family, we respect their privacy and honor any decision that works best for them and their children. HGTV is currently airing episodes of Flip or Flop and the series will continue production as scheduled."
The couple, who wed in 2009, have two children: Taylor, 6, and Brayden, 15 months.

Actress Emma Stone turned to baking during the making of new movie The Amazing Spider-Man to cope with her anxiety.
The Help star, who has suffered terrifying panic attacks since she was a young girl, recently admitted she relied on a stunt double to re-enact Jennifer Grey's iconic Dirty Dancing leap when her fear of heights got the best of her while shooting 2011 movie Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Now Stone reveals she developed a passion for making cakes and cookies while shooting her new superhero blockbuster because spending time in the kitchen helped her relax.
She tells Vogue magazine, "I think I felt really out of control of my surroundings. I was just baking all the time. There were stacks of things in the kitchen that nobody could possibly go through. It seemed like it made me feel, if I put these in, I'll know what the outcome is... I was over-baking."

Another amazing rework by Berlin-based Theatre Of Delays: What You Want, the first track of the upcoming Boys Noize album Out Of The Black – turned into a big synth jam with exactly that type of vintage leads and percussions that immediately make you feel like cruising through 1980's Miami. Free download, too!
Bonus: Boys Noize – XTC (MMC Remix)

Before I recap the next few episodes, I'm going to do another re-discussion on Ep 27 since I didn't watch it full with Eng Subs previously.
So I'll just highlight the scenes which I didn't wrote in detail in the recap:
Rouxi &13th prince talking:
Rouxi told 13th prince that Lu Wu was actually from a rich and noble family. However, some trouble occurred when some people used Ming Dynasty names which caused a lot of lives. She tells 13th prince that staying beside 13th prince for 10 years locked up, was her love for him and leaving him to her hometown is her filial piety to her parents.
NOTE: Rouxi did receive a letter from Lu Wu, who did mention her hometown. Rouxi actually was just predicting what she mentioned to 13th prince.
NOTE: When Rouxi tells 4th prince of her lie, 4th prince doesn't seem surprise. Rouxi finds out that what she actually predicted was spot-on. That is why 4th prince never give Lu Wu a title despite thinking of granting her one in the past.
In this particular episode, there are a few things I would like to highlight.
8th prince's ambition for the throne:
Though we know he never got the throne, I just wanted to discuss his ambitions on wanting to actually sit on the Throne. I never thought that he's ambition was wrong. Being born by a mother who doesn't have a high status, he naturally feels that he can do just as well as the others.
Perhaps what he wanted was for his father to recognize him for his efforts and intelligence, which sadly his father thinks of as threatening. Though he uses underhand means to get his opponent down (4th prince, which ended up with 13th prince taking the blame), I never thought him off as evil. The Throne is a position that you won't get handed down to you just by being a nice person. Lastly, his comment to 9th prince in this episode, where he said that they should not bring a woman inside their fight to gain advantage, was interesting.
Yutan's friendship with Rouxi:
Before we move on to the next few episodes, I just want to look on this two girls relationship. They're close friends, sisters, who have shared their lives with each other for years. I think that it's genuine and that both of them clearly loves each other as much as sisters.
(SPOILER ALERT!) It's sad though that Yutan was actually a spy sent by 9th prince. Despite her being a spy, I never doubted her sincerity towards Rouxi or their friendship. However, 4th prince who killed Yutan, will eventually made Rouxi more delusional with her love. (END SPOILER)

As some of you may know, I am an aspiring author; I have recently wrote two books, and I am currently working on another two. So far, I have queried for one book, and I have had no luck – the publishing industry is hard to crack open. Continue reading "Behind The Scenes: New Authors Whose Books You'll Want To Watch Out For"

Blogging Schedule 2017!!!
So, first off, I want to say I love blogging, and I can't get enough! It has been so much fun to share my passions for books and writing, but I have to make sure my studies for school come first!! I really want to pick up my grades and it is getting more difficult to do so. So, I have decided to create a new blogging schedule for the next few months, probably until June. Continue reading "Blogging Schedule 2017!!!"
A Little Update
I have realized that lately, I have been posting, but not really giving updates as to what is going on with my book writing journey and just my day to day life in general. So, this will be quite a short post and I apologise – I have a History test that I really need to study for!! As well, I will also ask some questions, maybe any content you guys want on my blog and so forth – so I would love it if you guys would comment some suggestions!!!
Let's get started!!!
First things first, my book writing journey is a bit sluggish so far. I have been sending out my manuscript, and I have had no luck yet!! It takes me a while to send out queries because I don't have much time on my hands, but I hope that I will be able to send out my goal of 40 queries by the new year!! Hopefully, then I will get an agent's attention!
As well, I am also going to join a few writing contests here and there in order to keep my writing in shape, and to get some honest feedback! I am going to enter one contest where the judge has no idea of your background like your name and gender so that their vote cannot be biased in any way, and I think that is a smart idea! You want to grade someone's work based off of their talent, and not who they are.
As well, I have slowly started to work on my sequel to my first novel, but I am hoping to get a reply from an agent before really going further into the second book. That is why I got some new ideas for some novels I want to write, and I began to write one of them!! So far I am 10 000 words in, and I think it is going quite well!!! 🙂
And that is it for my book writing journeys, and I will keep adding updates like this if you guys find them interesting!!
Now, onto the more fun stuff.
Lately, I have been having some thoughts about some new DIY'S and some new recipes for bookish inspired treats, so my question is, would anyone be interested in that? I want to know if you guys are liking my small but growing DIY and Food category!! I was thinking of doing another DIY Harry Potter post, so hopefully it would be something that would interest all of you!!
As well, any suggestions towards my content or any post suggestions will totally be taken into consideration!! If they are bookish related, I'd be more than glad to do them!!!
Also, quick thing, anyone interested in taking quizzes? I was thinking about adding another category to my blog to make it more interactive with you guys!!
And that's it for today!! Like I mentioned, this is quite a short post! But I hope to go back to my regular posts next week!! Happy Reading Everyone an stayed tuned for Tuesday!!!
Having Trouble Finding Time To Write?
I think that this title does an accurate job of explaining what I am about to write about. As a quick disclaimer, this post will be quite short because I am running a bit late on schoolwork that I absolutely have to get done (*sigh). Continue reading "Having Trouble Finding Time To Write?"

Hidden, the latest reincarnation of the Westin Grand's restaurant, is a concept that works in context: a hotel restaurant that offers its guests all the familiarity of comfort food, but with enough tweaks to remind you that you're not in Kansas anymore.
The restaurant, aptly named considering its near non-existent street presence, obviously isn't the first to offer a "unique take on comfort food," now a generic modus operandi that means little to anyone. The menu is divvied up into categories like "Earth," "Land," and "Sea" (the first two, while confusing, are meant to separate vegetarian options from the meat options), and features Hidden's take on classic chain-restaurant fare.
The most notable is the chicken and waffles ($12; picture above). The former is a buttermilk battered and fried chicken breast, served atop the latter, a savory cheddar waffle, with a watermelon relish to accompany. There's not too many places that offer chicken and waffles in town, and so any entry - tweaked or not - is welcome. Hidden's version is crisp and miraculously light, with the watermelon relish giving the whole plate a clean finish.
The other dishes aren't quite as successful. The lobster poutine ($10) is really a bowl of enormously cut potato wedges, hollandaise sauce, some melted cheese curds and a couple chunks of lobster sitting atop, all of it an awkward marriage. A bay scallop mac and cheese ($15) comes with the mac in one bowl and the scallops, served with a raisin and onion relish, on the side, without a clear connection between the two (the server observed that most people end up eating them separately). Neither are interesting on their own, but mix them together and you've got a curiosity.
What's the attraction then? For $15, you can try any two items (albeit in reduced portion sizes) on the menu for lunch. Coupled that with a much more quiet venue, with hotel level service, and Hidden's got most chain restaurants beat. It's for those wanting something familiar...even in their quirks.

Who We Are
Mission Statement
Y2Y is a community of young professionals within the World Bank Group (WBG), as well as external partners, who provide a reservoir of fresh ideas and perspectives to contribute to the WBG's vision of "achieving a world free of poverty".
What We Do
Y2Y coordinates events and activities that promote the community's objectives including:
Youth Innovation Fund, Mentorship program, Youth Voices, Global Youth Climate Network, Global Youth Conference, Networking opportunities, Community service, and many more!
Global Youth Climate Network
GYCN is a new Y2Y initiative that aims to act as a catalyst for youth, both at the Bank and throughout the world, to work together to develop and implement initiatives that raise awareness and mitigate climate change. We see climate change as the defining issue of this generation and seek the opportunity to amplify awareness and take action in partnership with other organizations working in this field. Initiatives planned for FY18 include the launch of both the GYCN Global Ambassador Program and the GYCN Climate-smart Youth Entrepreneurship Fund, as well as climate-related events and fundraisers throughout the year including the GYCN Launch Happy Hour, a Guinness World Record Attempt, and the Climate Run 5K/15K charity run.Read More
Youth Innovation Fund (YIF)
The YIF provides an opportunity for the WBG youth to design and implement development projects around the world with the purpose of channeling fresh ideas into WBG operations while engaging and empowering youth. Grants are given to project teams on a competitive basis, bringing together individuals from different WBG units and countries, to promote innovation, create impact, and leverage resources from the new generation of development professionals.
Mentorship Program
The Y2Y Mentorship program seeks to empower youth employees as they embark on their careers through fostering one-on-one relationships between youth WBG employees (including consultants) and senior staff. Since its launch in 2007, the program has supported over 500 mentorship pairs on a voluntary and informal basis, which has led to strong, meaningful professional relationships across the WBG.
Youth Voices
Inspired by WBG initiative "Voices of the Poor", the Youth Voices program seeks to understand the burden of poverty from those who bear it.
First initiated in 2002 by the World Bank Country office in Lima, Peru as Youth New Voices (Voces Nuevas), the program was a voluntary advisory group comprised of 23 young men and women from various backgrounds. The major positive impact the Program had on the ongoing World Bank's projects in the country were the "young, fresh and innovative" ideas and viewpoints these youth contributed. Replicating and scaling up this youth advisory group in all interested country offices, the current Y2Y's "Youth Voices" contributes to the Y2Y mission of "empowering, inspiring, and engaging youth around the world", illuminating new perspectives on poverty for decision makers.
I joined the World Bank at a relatively young age, at 24, and I strongly believe that if I stand tall today, I stand on the shoulders of others – senior staff who have mentored me over the years.

The idea of "Y2Y" was first discussed on September 18, 2003, after the World Bank Group President,
Mr. James Wolfensohn had met with youth from more than 70 countries convening at the World
Bank's Youth Development and Peace Conference in Sarajevo. At this conference, President
Wolfensohn committed the WBG to mainstreaming youth participation and engagement, which
prompted a few young people at the Bank to start defining the role of young people inside the World
Bank Building on the momentum of this event, Y2Y was founded on February 27, 2004, with the
objective of providing young people in the WBG with a greater institutional role.
For more than 12 years, our program has provided the WBG access to the wealth of knowledge and
innovation as we contribute to the youth agenda and the broader WBG twin goals. Headed by a
volunteer Steering Committee consisting of WBG staff, Y2Y continues to promote youth ideas and
ideals into WBG operations and provides a fresh look at how its members can end extreme poverty
and create shared prosperity through its primary programs: Youth Innovation Fund (YIF),
Partnership and Events, Mentorship, and Youth Voices.

Under my black skin
I'm wearing scars and misery
partying holding a cup of tears
guilty of my spirit of humanity
captive still, even after fighting years for liberty
you, steal my rights, devalue my pride and profane my identity
remove all my excellent title, and call me n*****
and misjudge me when I revolt and embrace the trigger
we all got that red s*** in our veins
stop investigate my ethnic, I'm just human
we all come from a woman
and we all born, live, and die at the end
So what's the difference now
oh waw ! just because I'm black and you're white
tell me what more than I, have you achieved
since the fusion has been made
you've been nothing else than a rat
you're that lazy guy who can't do none for yourself
that explains the fact that you had to go all the way to Africa just to build America
you're that phony, that figure hiding behind a mask
with a devise "In God We Trust" while y'all chasing money not salvation
I wasn't going that far, but you're steering me there
yes I know that my brothers are thousands in the states yards
but it's because sometimes justice doesn't serve right
how come a n***** gets life in prison for 30lbs of crack
and your relative gets 10 years for taking a life
what I want to know, do I sound black to you?
If so, how does a black sound and how do u sound my dear?
Once, be grateful! That black voice sometimes to you is entertaining
I can bet many of you enjoy listening to Queen B
excuse my foolishness,I'm not racist nor rude
Since you want to placed yourself at a level above the highest mount
Let me tell u that the height of my achievement doesn't have an amount
Under my black skin I got pleasure,rights,pride
Under my black skin I got flesh,blood,and humanism
Under my black skin I have passion,melody,music,dance,poetry
Under my black skin I do have something call unity,equal right and liberty
If it wasn't for your follow-up question,I was going to say under my black skin I have all you have so you're not different to me
