Firefighters' Act of Kindness
(Photo: Ashley Odom Chandler)
When John McCormick, an Air Force veteran, suffered a heart attack while mowing his lawn, the firefighters and EMTs of Station 4 in Baytown, Texas, rushed to his aid. John was quickly taken to a nearby hospital in the ambulance. After leaving him in the care of the hospital, the fire crew decided to double back to John's house and finish mowing his lawn for him. When they were done, they put everything away in the shed, locked it, and put the key in the mailbox with this note.

McCormick's daughter Jeana Blackford said, "It just showed me that there's still compassion, that people still do random acts of kindness every day for people that they don't know."
Sadly, McCormick passed away two days later. But the impact of these firefighters' actions will last in the memories of the McCormick family.

We're very excited to be publishing new editions of Laura Lam's Pantomime and Shadowplay! And these will be followed by the all-new, stirring conclusion to the Micah Grey trilogy - Masquerade.
Pantomime and Shadowplay will both be re-released as shiny new ebooks on 3rd December this year, with paperbacks to follow in Winter 2016. The final book in the Micah Grey trilogy, Masquerade, will go on sale in paperback and ebook in January 2017. We know, we know - it's a long time to wait! But in the meantime feast your eyes on these stunning new covers. Neil Lang in our design department has done such gorgeous work here:
These enthralling books are set within a circus in a world somewhat like our own – but where wonders and magic really exist. A young runaway seeks escape from a life of injustice and secrets, and the circus promises freedom. There, Micah will become who she was meant to be, yet the future also holds conflict and dangerous mysteries.
Praise for Laura Lam

Chapter 1
Normal POV
"Ahh! We'll be late if you don't hurry up!" a short haired blonde with a large bow on her head, propped to the side, shrieked.
"Alright! Alright! I'm coming." A sweet yet playful tone answered her. She tapped her foot and fingers impatiently as she waited for her to descend from the stairs. After a few moments, the girl finally raced down fully groomed and looking so radiant.
"I'm FINALLY ready." she beamed at the once annoyed yet awestruck blonde. The blonde just rolled her eyes and proceeded to the car awaiting them.
"You always do take your sweet time preparing for everyday, don't you?" she complained yet again as she hopped inside the car.
"Well, I am a lady after all." the teallete reasoned.
"You do know that someone gets so grumpy whenever we make him wait." she said and darted her eyes towards another blonde that looks like her, a male counter-part that is. His bright aquamarine eyes glared at the two ladies but softened immediately when he saw them grining widely. He let out a sigh and asked their chauffer to take them to their school. It was about a 30 minute drive before they reached their academy.
"Hey! Did they repaint the school's name again? It's like gold. They really are a bit showy." The blonde girl mentioned when she noticed the change.
"Well, Vocaloid Academy, after all, is a prestigious school. It's not that easy to get in here." The tealette said, trying to defend the unnecessary show off.
"Don't just stand there chatting, Hurry up or we'll be late." a deep, cool voice called for them and caught their attention before they all took off in a sprint to get to their class at least on time.
Miku's POV
I am Hatsune Miku, the second eldest of the siblings, my brother and sister is Len and Rin Kagamine, the twins. We don't have the same last name since I took my Mother's maiden name before she passed away. Father said that she wasn't able to marry him because she wanted to deliver me first, saying she'd look like a bloating fish wrapped in a nori* if she wore a gown and walk down the aisle. Meiko-neechan, the eldest of us four, got married already and left the twins in my care. We may be still high schoolers but we can manage ourselves, though the only guy in our household does the chores, Len. He is very talented, sweet and kind. He can get grumpy, cold and annoying sometimes but that only adds to his charm. He does the housework since Rin and I can get a BIT clumsy sometimes. Rin is the sweetest little devil you could know. She is kind in a way but a devil when she schemes. She has a sharp mind which she developed from watching crime solving movies and dramas, I swear, no one could tear her away from the TV once it starts. She is a bit shorter than Len, who is the same height as me. She has this short blonde hair that she always ties in a big white ribbon. She and Len, being a twin, have the same eye colour; bright aquamarine. We all live in a mansion which our parents left in our name. They seldom go home so we were always in charge of things, not that it's anything surprising. And Oh! We are all students but a celebrity at the same time.
"Hatsune-sama!" someone called me.
I whipped my head to their direction and saw a group of boys wearing a headband with scribblings 'We Hatsune-chii'. I flashed them a smile before turning back to my way. We were already passing by a lot of students and they always say the same thing.
"It's them, the trio."
I swear, I just want them to treat us like normal and not like some heavenly beings, it really puts me off. I sighed as we continued running till we completely came to a halt in front of a door. Len stepped in, opening the door for us.
"Uhmm.. Good Morning." he said to grab their attentions, but honestly it was uncalled for, since he already got their full attention, even the teacher stood there frozen, awkwardly gaping at us.
"Ermm.. Sorry if we were late." I said when they didn't move a single muscle. The teacher cleared his throat and paced forward us.
"Please do introduce yourselves to the class." he said with authorative voice.
"Okay! I'll go first!" Rin beamed and skipped to the front while Len and I followed her silently.
"Well, as you all know already, I am Rin Kagamine. I am the twin sister of Len Kagamine and the younger sister of Miku Hatsune. Pleased to meet you." she said with a wink and turned to us. Len followed after her and introduced himself.
"I am Len Kagamine, as Rin told you, I am her twin brother. Nice to meet you." he said shortly and coolly while keeping his hands inside his pockets and turned around with a shrug. I followed after him and this is where all of them stared intensely, boring holes right through me.
"Uhmm.. I'm.. I'm Hatsune Miku. Please take care of us from now on." I introduced, feeling a bit nervous under their scrutinizing stares and bowed.
"Well then, please take the chairs at the back, front and the window-side portion." he instructed as he pointed the current empty seats.
"Thank you sensei." I thanked him as I flashed him a smile. He stared at me for a few moments, when he didn't seem to want to let me out of his sight, Len finally stepped in between us and held my wrist.
"Excuse us Sensei but you wouldn't mind it if we all sit together at the back portion, will you?" he asked and threw him a stern look, which almost seemed like he was glaring.
"Oh." he finally said when Len successfully snapped him back.
"If you insist, that's if your class-" he paused as a clatter of chairs reverberated in the air, catching our attention. A group of three people stood up and sat at the chairs that were supposed to be ours.
"-mates agree." he finished.
I guess they're letting us take those?
I thought to myself. I turned to Len, who took a quick glance at me and turned back to the teacher.
"It's settled then?" Len said, a trace of smirk slowly crept up to his face.
"Then please take your seats." the teacher said and looked at Len with annoyance in his eyes. They continued their staring contest till Rin yanked me from Len's grasp. Len stiffened and abruptly turned to Rin, happily skipping to our seats with me being dragged by her. Len just sighed and followed after us. I was supposed to sit at the chair near the window when Len took a seat there. I settled in the chair beside him while Rin was beside me. Nothing was too special about the day except for the students taking sideway glances at our way and a few whispers, giggles and chuckles which is obviously directed at us. It was becoming uncomfortable, so I shifted endlessly on my seat. Rin and Len seemed to have noticed me and so both of them diverted the attention from me to them. Rin smiled awfully cute and Len smiled so coolly that everyone who was looking at them blushed furiously and turned away. I let out a breath I didn't notice I was holding and relaxed. Len and Rin both grinned at me which made me somehow a bit embarrassed and blushed slightly.
"What?" I whispered loud enough for them to hear.
"You're so cute." both of them said with an adorable smile and grin, thus intensifying my blush.
"Sh-Shut up!" I whispered and pouted. They just giggled at me.
Len's POV
Miku sure is cute when she's embarassed, well no, not only when she is embarassed but in every expression she does. I'd always find myself staring at her longer than I'd expect.
"Len?" her sweet angelic voice called me.
"Yes?" I answered as I stared into the teal orbs of my angel.
"Is there something on my face?" she asked tilting her head to the side and furrowed her brows.
"No, you're just cute that I couldn't take my eyes off you."
"There's nothing." I answered with a smile I only show to her and my twin.
"Then why are you staring at me? If your gaze was a drill, I'm sure I'd be full of holes by now." she joked and giggled.
Ah, she's just so cute.
"Well, There is. Here!" I told her and reached for her face. She just stared at me and remained still.
"Close your eyes." I commanded softly which she obeyed. She closed her eyes as I softly trailed my fingers on her smooth skin. I pulled my hand back and waited for her to open her eyes.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, just some dirt." I said with the usual pretense and shrugged. I did a little wiping of my finger to convince her there really was one, when in fact there wasn't.
"Thank you." she said, accompanied it with her sweetest smile only me and Rin has seen.
"You're Welcome." I replied with my cool smile.
Miku is older than me by a few months only, that's why I never call her Onee-chan or Miku-nee, it feels awkward to call her like that too. Ever since I was about 7 yrs. old, I have always liked her, not like a sibling love but I love her as a woman I'd want to marry someday. I wasn't aware of how the society would see it nor did I care, I just loved her honestly. By the time we first entered middle school, the feeling never ceased but instead deepend. I was already aware that siblings are not allowed to fall for each other, and it was killing me from the inside just thinking about it. Yes, I was in that age too that I'd start having erotic dreams about her and I'd always find myself wet when I wake up.
Well, I only do react to her.
It was bugging me so much that I started distancing myself. I even admitted to myself that I really do have a sister-complex. I mean, I love my sister and am having wet dreams about her, that certainly is not something normal. I know it hurt her that sometimes I'd be cold towards her but if I won't do that, who knows what I might do to her? I simply couldn't bear to hurt her like that. It's fine that I suffer alone, just not her, just not the one that I love.
"Len?" her voice snapped me off my trance again.
"Uh, yeah?"
"Do you not want to eat lunch with us?" she asked in a sad face and voice.
aww! don't give me that look! it's harder to refuse if you're like that.
I complained to myself.
"Of course I'm going, you didn't have to look like that, and besides I want to see your reaction on your bento." I said and smiled at her. She smiled back at me and grabbed my wrists.
"Then, Let's go? Rin said she'll catch up later, turns out because of hurrying me, she forgot her lunch." she said as she dragged me out of our room.
Oh? Is that so? Wow! Thank Goddesses for Rin's clumsiness. I certainly owe you one for letting me be alone with Miku.
I happily thought to myself as I let her drag me around. I was so happy that I couldn't help but grin at the thought. She led the way to the rooftop where the breeze was cold even though the sun was at it's peak. It can view many spectacular areas and certainly relaxes the nerves. I stared at her as she gaped excitedly at the sceneries before us.
"Hey Len, Isn't this place awesome? to be able to view scenes like our house does, it truly is magnificent." she beamed like a child.
Yes, this girl, loves the nature so much, no too much that I'd sometimes feel a bit jealous over them. Yeah I know it is pathetic, but come on, the plants get to recieve so much love from her but I only get a small share? What the heck is wrong with her world, but, ironic as it may be, I also love to see her happy even if it's because of that. I want to preserve that sweet and relaxed smile forever.
"Stop twirling or you'll-Miku!" I cried as I dashed to catch her. Fortunately she landed in my arms with a soft thud. She was squeezing her eyes shut but reopened them as she wondered why she didn't feel pain.
Of course, she didn't collide with the floor after all.
"Are you fine?" I asked when she remained still. I'm sure I looked so worried about now, why wouldn't I? she almost fell on the floor with a strong impact.
"Uh.. Ye-Yes." she answered with a slight stammer.
Boy, must have scared her.
I set her down and sat beside her, running a frustrated hand through my blonde hair.
"Geez, you always are reckless aren't you? Can you stop being like that?" I blurted out rather in a harsh way. I quickly turned to her to see if she was hurt with my words. She was! Panic suddenly took over my system and I froze.
"I..I'm sorry for being a pain in the head Len.. I'm sorry so please don't be mad." she said between her sobs. I felt so horrible and angry at myself for allowing such words to come out of my mouth. I quickly wrapped my arms around her, engulfing her in a hug. My hand was on her nape, pressing her closer to me while the other rested on her back.
"I'm sorry too. I didn't mean it that way, I was just scared to think what might happen to you if you collided against the hard floor."
She stopped sobbing and wrapped her arms around me too. Just that gesture was enough to make my heartbeat rise a few notches.
"I'm so sorry." she whispered against my chest.
"I know." I comforted her till she completely relaxed. It was hard to separate from the hug but I know better than to do that.
"Hehe, Len really is reliable. I am sure your girlfriend would be so lucky to have you." she complimented as she wiped her tears and replaced them with a smile.
I did all of these things for you Miku. I learned everything so I could be of use to you, so that you would notice me. Are my efforts still not enough?
I thought as my smile came out weaker than I expected. She looked at me with worried eyes and was about to ask me again but Rin chose to save me at that time.
"Hey! Sorry for making you wait!" She burst in, pushing the door open, halting Miku from reaching out to me while we both turned to her.
"What's wrong?" Rin asked when we literally froze.
"Uh.. Nothing." Miku said and brushed everything off.
"Shall we eat then?" Miku asked and walked toward Rin. They both turned to me while I stayed sitting on the floor. I glanced to my hand but didn't see my lunch there.
Wait. I had it with me.
I thought as I tried to recall, my sight then drifted to the upside down lunchbox not far away.
"Oh." I said as I stared at it. Miku and Rin both stared at each other before they burst into fits of laughter.
"What?" I growled at them but was just really intended for Rin, I don't care if Miku makes fun of me, at least I was able to make her laugh.
"Nothing, it's just that you're so pathetic." Rin said, finally able to control her mirth.
I AM pathetic but not in that kind of sense.
"It's fine, I'll just share my bento with Len since it's partially.. my fault." she almost whispered the last part. If we weren't too close, I sure am gonna misunderstand her slight blush.
Whoa! Talk about lucky! Today's a lucky day for me! Thanks lunch!
I screamed mentally as I felt all giddy with just the thought of sharing a meal with Miku.
"Are you really sure you're fine with that? You do have a big appetite Miku, I can share with him if you like." Rin offered.
Oh no you're not ruining this moment.
I threatened, but just inside my head as I stood up. I was about to dash to her and maybe lock her up for a while or something, just render her incapable of ruining this moment.
"It's fine." Miku's voice snapped me off my evil schemes.
Now I really just had an idea which was very Rin-like.
I thought, and just the thought sent cold shivers down my spine.
"It's my fault so it's fine." Miku continued and immediately ended the discussion with just one sweet smile. She then linked her arms with Rin and mine and started dragging us to a space in the rooftop. We squatted on the floor, we may be celebrities but we aren't that much of a snobby brat that won't squat, we are just like normal teenagers if not for our early occupation.
"Say did Luka-nee scheduled us for a voice-recording tonight?" Rin suddenly asked.
"No, I don't remember having any today." Miku answer as she opened her lunch box.
"Then we are free, right?" Rin asked excitedly. Miku turned to her and appeared as if thinking before she gave off a sweet, happy smile.
"Yes." she answered.
"Then can we stop by somewhere on our way home?" Rin asked her. Miku turned to me before turning back to Rin.
"It's fine, I guess." I answered when I got what she tried to tell Rin. Rin pumped her fists and cheered.
"Yeyy! Thanks Len!" she beamed before turning to her lunch and started devouring it. Miku, on the other hand, turned to me with the chopsticks pinching an omelette on it and held it over to me.
"Ahh~" she said with a sweet smile. I couldn't stop my blush at that time and so I chose to turn away.
"I-I'm not a baby! so don't feed me!" I said defensively.
"Okay." she said with a sad voice. I whipped my head back to her about to say something when she immediately took that chance to push it in my mouth.
"There!" she said happily.
What the-! I know it's like a dream to have Miku feed me and I am so happy, but at the same time, it is just too embarrassing!
I screamed mentally and was about to complain again when she plopped another food in. So our lunch went through with her feeding me as she fed herself. I was too happy at that time that I wished time would just stop at that moment.
I really do love this girl.
I admitted as I stared at her happily munching on the food I made her.
"Call me Weird, Call me Idiot, Call me Pervert, Call me Crazy. I don't care, I just really love this person before me; my Sister."
And so, I'll be waiting for reviews okay? Tell me if you have some problem with it and I'll fix it right away! Please do review guys cause my decision to continue thos or not all depends on your reviews. Thanks.

Artisanal isn't automatically a positive thing for me though, I can make my own bread pretty much as well as any artisanal baker. I can put together a decent cocktail - there much to be said for the simple classics. I make my own jam and pickle. Occasionally my own cheese. I buy the cheap cuts of meat and try and turn them into something good. I bake (not badly according to some). I only do all that because I get a kick out of it, it's fun. I don't mind the people who go rushing off after uber exclusive ingredients, it's just not for me. I don't think they necessary to get really good flavours. And I whole heartedly concur with the sentiment she expresses here though:
"If there's a local speciality, I'd like to try it. If there's a great local barbecue joint, a local diner that's been here for decades, something along those lines… I'd love to go there."I like places that are a little worn around the edges, it often indicates that they've been there a while. And most places that survive for quite a while, survive because there's something good about them.
The point she makes at the end of the post is an interesting one though. Many a year ago, making your own preserves, baking your own bread etc, were respected values. Then for the most part, they got ... lost. In New Zealand at least, I don't think it's these acts are respected any more, but it has certainly become something unusual. Which is, imho, a sad thing. I get a kick out doing these things, I wonder how many other people would if they had the knowledge? And it's not as if it's difficult as a lot of people believe, it just takes a little time.

Arkansas, Buffalo National River Wilderness Area, Hawksbill Crag
On the afternoon of August 25th, a 20-year-old woman was rappelling off a 100-foot bluff near Hawksbill Craig, also known as Whitaker Point, in the Forest Service's Upper Buffalo Wilderness Area. On the way down the bluff, she apparently struck a tree branch, causing her to let her brake hand go. She did not have a belay system in place and fell approximately 30 feet before landing.
Bystanders and members of her group began to assist with her injuries while another bystander hiked out in order to call for help. The Newton County Sheriff's Office received the report and asked the park's SAR team to respond. ALS ambulance, volunteer fire department, and med-evac helicopter personnel arrived first and immediately began hiking toward her location. Due to the steep, rugged and remote terrain, there was no radio communication with the responders hiking to her. NPS and USFS staff began arriving shortly thereafter and a unified command post was set up at the Hawksbill Craig trailhead. By the time NPS and USFS staff hiked to her reported location, she had been stabilized by EMS personnel and carried on a backboard up a break in the bluff line that did not require technical extrication. At the top of the bluff, she was placed in a wheeled litter provided by NPS responders and wheeled approximately three-quarters of a mile to the waiting ambulance. She was then transported to the med-evac helicopter staged in a nearby hayfield and airlifted to Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Her injuries were reported to include two fractured vertebrae and both pelvis and femur fractures. (Source: Lee Buschkowsky, Upper District Range)
A belay or an autoblock system is the standard protocol for protecting rappels. (Source: Jed Williamson)
(Editor's Note: A website promoting Arkansas offers the following description of climbing: "The Ozarks of North America offer some of the best rock climbing in mid-America and the clean,uncrowded rock offers a lifetime of rock climbing and bouldering fun. Spend a glorious day in the Arkansas Ozarks learning the skills and techniques of the vertical world. Whether you are a beginner or an extreme rock climber,the 70-80foot sandstone climbs are perfect for learning or perfecting your skills..." As the above case illustrates, a better idea would be to learn basic skills before arriving.)

Welcome to our newly renovated website! If you have visited us before, you will notice things have changed remarkably over the last couple of months. We put a lot of time and effort into creating not only a source for information about our company, but also a place where our patients can come to find more information regarding their specific circumstances or device they have been given. We recommend taking a few minutes to explore the new website and the variety of information that is now available. Here are a few suggestions for where to get started.

Each blog post will be featured on our newly upgraded Facebook page as well. If you have questions or want to add something feel free to head over there and join the discussion.
We have expanded the resources section of our website to include a wider variety of materials. You will find links to websites where you can find tons of amputation-related information as well as some social communities specifically for amputees.
Patient Involvement
There is more information than ever about what you as a patient can do to get more involved in helping other amputees. If you feel like you would be a good fit for some of the programs mentioned in those sections, feel free to contact a Patient Care Coordinator to set up a meeting to discuss the ways you may be able to become more involved.
In addition to these highlights, there are plenty of new surprises to check out. We strongly encourage you to spend a few minutes exploring the website and take advantage of all the new information we have uploaded.
Moving forward, you all can expect to hear from us on this blog about once a week. We are eager to share more exciting and important information with you all over the weeks to come!

Sarcoptes scabiei var. bovis
Sarcoptes scabiei
Itch mite, mange mite
General Description:
Itch mites are small, about 330 to 600 microns by 250 to 400 microns, and roughly circular in shape. All legs are short; the third and fourth pairs do not project beyond the body margin. The upper surface has many small triangular scales. Females have a number of spines on this surface. Pretarsi are present.
Life Cycle:
Typical mite life cycle in which the entire life cycle is spent on the host. Sarcoptes mites are very susceptible to drying. Females burrow a tunnel in skin and here lay 3 to 5 eggs daily to a total of 40 to 50 eggs. Larvae hatch in 3 to 5 days. Some larvae remain in the tunnel in which they hatched, while others wander over the skin surface before burrowing new tunnels. Mange is most prevalent in late winter and early spring.
Sarcoptes mites prefer areas of thin hair, such as the neck, the back in front of the tail, the inner surface of the thighs and the udder.
Geographical Distribution:
Widespread where cattle are kept in close quarters.
Mange may spread to involve all parts of the host's body. Irritation to the host causes weight loss, emaciation, and possibly death. Skins of carcasses are of poor quality. Animals in poor condition due to mite attacks are subject to other diseases.
Effects on Host:
Mites puncture the skin to feed on lymph and may also ingest skin cells. Irritation causes intense itching and scratching which results in dermatitis, accompanied by an exudate that coagulates and dries to form a crust. Skin becomes thickened and wrinkled; hair is lost.
Diagnostic Information:
Mites may be found microscopically in scrapings of lesions. Instruments such as a knife must be used to scrape into deep layers of skin. This is the major difference between Sarcoptes mites and Psoroptes mites, which are found on the surface of the skin.
Application of chemicals through washes, dips, air sprays is used to control Sarcoptes scabiei. Ivermectin is effec-tive in the control of S. scabiei.

- If Charles Dickens were alive today, he would rather receive £20 from a waiter friend than £100 from a banker friend, because it means more coming from the poor man. £20 is a larger fraction of the poor man's income, so it means more than a paltry £100 to the rich man.
- Someone in my Christmas circle confided that she would rather receive either
- money, or
- something personal (like a letter, a drawing, or a small gift that shows that the person knows her well and put thought or time into the gift)
"If someone gets me shower gel or bath salts, it shows that they don't know anything about me at all. I would rather just get money, because then at least I can get myself something I want."
Christmas obligations account for $100 billion of spending in the USA, or roughly ½% of its yearly output. If you are buying the wrong gifts, though, perhaps 20% of that is wasted—i.e., $20 billion of waste in the world's largest economy.
This has led to the gift card, probably the best business idea ever. (Businesses get cash regardless of whether they deliver a service or product, in advance of delivering the service or product, in return for expensively allaying the culturally-induced guilt of rich people.)
But in both of the gift metrics above—the one from my Christmas circle and the one from 120 years ago—time and care are what's really wanted in a present. Or an Xbox 360.
PS: Joel Waldfogel suggests a charity gift card: the card recipient gets to act rich, and the cash goes to a high-marginal-value end purpose.

Lebanon has been very widely known in thee world lately due to the big political conflict and civil war in the country. This is a true shame as this beautiful country has always been referred to as the "Paris of the Middle East" for ages..
The author of this article has been to Beirut twice and keeps very nice memories of the place; Both in terms of places to see and Lebanese people, incredible quality of service and all…
Lebanese people are mostly very educated and intellectual.. A great majority speak at least 2 foreign languages, namely English and French.. They are really warm and friendly and no doubt helpful… They like to work, do business in specific and have been good merchants for ages…
The religion conflict (as much as seen on the surface) has cost Lebanon so much, both material wise as well as so many human lives… When one stops to think "why" there is no logical explanation really except for the greed of super powers, playing every dirty game all around the world to make sure they always win.. and win and more & more..
As for entertainment in Lebanon, Beirut is surely the nightlife capital of the country, not to forget there are also many other alternatives in other parts of this beautiful land.
After a sightseeing day you can take a chance at the Casino du Liban or see one of Beirut's many attractive nightclubs. Rue Monot in Achrafiyé is a hot spot for clubs and bars and the latest fad restaurants.You will no doubt find the type of music in fashion at that specific time and dance through the night. At some of such places it would also be possible to listen to Arab Latin music.
It is a fact that several towns along the coast or in the mountains outside of Beirut have become more popular spots for entertainment, especially in the busy summer season as people want to escape the heat of the city.
Then again you might as well try the nightlife on the coast north of Beirut, such as Jounié or in the picturesque port town of Batroun. Broummana, a scenic hillside town with cafés, restaurants, and discos, located 23km east of Beirut, is also humming on the weekends.
To recap, one thing iss for sure you will never regret being in Beirut in specific…

ISRAELI writer Haim Sabatos newest novel, From the Four Winds creates a multi-textured story of survival and renewal based on families carried to Israel from the proverbial four corners of the earth by the force of hope.
It is a story told slowly, rich in the development of the protagonist and a more subtle development of the narrator, a child. While it is a family story of survival it also a coming-of-age book for Sabato himself and for the State of Israel, both growing up in the late 1950s.
Through the unfolding events of the plot, Sabato asks the reader to think about the purpose of the Jewish state, its survival and renewal.
What starts out as a Jerusalem story, replete with details of cyclamen fields and mysterious neighbors, soon becomes a story about a people spread out, whose fate affects Jews worldwide.
It is a story that goes back in time, only to live its climax in its retelling.
Through this novel, Sabato treats the questions of Jewish identity and continuity, what constitutes being a link in the chain, and what one Jews responsibility is to another. Sabato weaves these questions into a recurring theme, where the narrator, when perplexed, always reassures himself, I didnt ask. Everything needed to become clear of its own accord.
A number of elements set this story apart from many others on the subject of Jewish nationality. Not only is the narrator in this novel a child, but the child is the boy that Sabato recreates from his own memory. While the book is not an autobiography, it has many autobiographical elements. In fact, the novel reminds me of Amos Ozs Tale of Love and Darkness. Not only do both novels share this autobiographical element, but they are both narrated by young boys growing up in Jerusalem.
SABATO, who hails from a long line of Sephardic, Syrian-Egyptian rabbis, endows the narrator with the same lineage.
This helps set the stage for the differences the child notices between the newly arrived boisterous, Sephardic immigrants and the silent, Hungarian immigrants.
The windows of the Ashkenazic Jews are always closed, they speak in whispers, and there is a sadness that sits beyond the pupil of their eyes, that even a young Egyptian boy, grandson of Hakham Choueka, notices.
Yet, the Sephardic Jews have conflict about immigrating to Israel. Their souls are in Jerusalem, but their minds or hearts remain in the host country.
I was a young boy but I distinctly remember the glow of their faces at the sound of the French language. Mother and her friends from Egypt had their hearts in Jerusalem but their spirits in Paris.
Beit Mazmil, the Jerusalem neighborhood for immigrants that is the setting, is a hodgepodge of immigrants, rather than an organized attempt at absorption. The ever-vibrant pungent homes of his Sephardic tradition seem much happier than the melancholy Hungarian homes, but, still, something pulls the narrator to learn more about his newly named brothers.
One particular Ashkenazic Jew, Mr. Farkash, takes a liking to the boy. Their meeting foreshadows one of Sabatos themes.
Who are you boy? he asked.
A new immigrant, I answered.
We are all immigrants, Farkash hurried to respond. New immigrants, old immigrants, this land too, it is both old and new.
Soon enough Farkash, the dominant protagonist, adopts the boy. Eventually the Holocaust survivor bestows the boy with three pledges for him to carry out. The pledges become the link in the Farkash family chain.
Finally, Sabato doesnt set up this smorgasbord of questions without using the symbolism of Jewish texts.
In fact, the text that is constantly brought up from the talmudic tractate Bava Metzia has to do with returning a lost item, to be understood both figuratively and literally: returning the Jew to his rightful place, returning the land to its rightful owner, returning a promise kept to the next link in the chain.

Set aside your pity and enjoy this for what it really is: A celebration of the thinning of the heard. That's right; It's time for another installment of The Darwin Awards. I've selected another story involving fun with electricity. Enjoy…
(1982, Texas) At the Amarillo Fairgrounds, some buildings were in need of a coat of paint, so local contractors were hired to do the job.
Between the buildings was an angled culvert, designed to drain rainwater away from the buildings. Because of the slope, the wheeled painter scaffolding tended to roll downhill, so the painters removed the wheels on the scaffolding. They were in the process of moving the scaffolding, when the metal structure met a transformer. The painters were killed.
The story made the headlines. The town was abuzz with talk of the tragedy, how it had come to pass, and whether the city was liable for damages. The city officials decided they needed to conduct an investigation.
With much fanfare, they arrived at the scene of the incident, prepared to personally recreate the circumstances. Two officials grabbed the scaffolding in the exact same location as the two painters, began to move the scaffolding... and were promptly electrocuted.

Watch this ad. Just watch it. And see if you can figure out the mystery in it, and then come back and let's talk about it. But seriously; do not read any further until you watch it! You'll ruin it.
OK, so you watched it?
OK, so:
Wow. That was an absolutely devastating, disorienting twist ending. I was speechless for a good five minutes after watching it.
Nicole Hockley, co-founder and managing director of Sandy Hook Promise, who lost her first-grade son Dylan in the Sandy Hook massacre four years ago this month, told Ad Week,"When you don't know what to look for, or can't recognize what you are seeing, it can be easy to miss warning signs or dismiss them as unimportant. That can lead to tragic consequences."
"It is important for us to show youth and adults that they are not helpless in protecting their community from gun violence—these acts are preventable when you know the signs. Everyone has the power to intervene and get help. These actions can save lives."
They add that Sandy Hook Promise says 80 percent of school shooters and 70 percent of individuals who commit suicides told someone of their plans before taking action, but nobody intervened.

Our customer is requesting that we change the name of their new SBS 2011 server. Obviously this is not possible, or at least not recommended. I've told them that it would not be worth the effort to change the name, but I'm wondering if there is another possible solution. Their main concern is with accessing file shares (and mapped drives).
My thought was to create a second DNS name and update the mapped drives to use that name. Any other suggestions?

That sense of anticipation—and the feeling that big things just might be on the way—is exactly what Glow is all about. Even the press release says the songs "spin an exuberant tale of possibility," and, for once, such a release is dead on: There's a sense throughout that a big experience is coming—it could be grand or it could even be tragic, but it's not going to be boring. "Everything's been new and our whole lives have changed completely in the past year," Larson says. "So the record has a sense of discovery, the good and bad of that. Even if the music's really upbeat there's a yearning, a desperation in some of the lyrics." Part of that stems from recording it in Toronto last winter, with producer Gavin Brown. "We're a band that everyone considers bright and upbeat; but here we were in a different city, making a record in the snow. So calling it Glow was kind of an inspiration to us—you can glow in the light and the dark, and you can cover both kinds of emotions and shine through that."
Most of Royal Teeth's lineup—Larson, bassist Joshua Wells, drummer Josh Hefner, guitarist Stevie Billeaud and keyboardist Andrew Poe—played together for a few years in embryonic lineups. Even then, Larson was gravitating naturally to songwriting. "We had a different female singer at the time, so we'd already established that we wanted to do the guy-girl vocal thing, but at the time I was more in the forefront," Larson says. "I wasn't thinking of pop music yet, it was more singer/songwriter-y acoustic stuff. I guess I knew that I loved playing music but wasn't sure what I wanted out of it yet."
Then Patterson magically appeared, just like an angel in a good pop song. Or to be more prosaic about it, she posted some YouTube videos just when they needed a front-woman. But since she'd never been in a band before, it took a certain leap of faith to put her in. "I knew the guys from going to school in Lafayette," says Patterson. "Then I move to New Orleans and I hear from Gary, saying the band had a show in a week and they'd heard I could sing. So we practiced for a week and did our first show at the Saint. Which was probably really bad, but it was a lot of fun and we got along really well. If it felt weird at all I would have said something, but you know when something is just right. I thought it was just going to be a hobby or another fun thing to do when I wasn't at work, but it ended up becoming my job."
Larson is a lot more effusive about how well things worked. "You know what I liked?" he asks Patterson. "My favorite thing you did, we basically met you and laid this whole thing out. We told you we have a band, we have all these shows and all this practice time, we have all this stuff and you'd never done anything." Then, turning to the interviewer, "She looked kind of sad, but she had this quiet confidence about her and she's like, 'Yeah, I can do that.' And that's all she said. And something about the way she said that made me feel really good about it." Patterson also gently elbowed herself from backup singer to front-woman. "When she joined the band, it just opened up a different possibility. Slowly but surely she's been taking more of a dual role, and now we like to look at it as two lead singers instead of a singer and a background singer. The only reason that happened, though, is because of how she stepped up and just took charge; she's such a great singer, I can't take all the spotlight. Now I have to dance extra hard so I don't get shut out."
Intentionally or not, Patterson's addition also upped the sex-appeal ante. "Yeah, so how do you feel about people posting you as their 'Woman Crush Wednesday' on Instagram?" Larson asks her. "Weird," she answers. Counters Larson, "I promise you that wasn't in our tryout list, 'You have to be attractive to be in our band.' It was just people we knew and it just ended up working out that way; we were lucky. Sure, it is a little bit weird and when you start seeing your picture on the Internet or you Google yourself and find people posting you—or posting her, because everyone loves Nora. It's just great to know that people are connecting to us in some way, even if they just think we're cute. It's a gateway into them hopefully liking a song we do."
So far "Wild" is their calling card and arguably their best song; it appeared on their debut EP Act Naturally (titled after a song of theirs, not the Buck Owens/Beatles oldie) and gets reprised on Glow. Opening with the line, "Don't you think it's time for you and me to make some history?," it could be about falling in love or conquering the world—for those of a certain age and mindset, those things feel pretty much the same anyway. It sports a lovely video that's both sensual and surreal, but it's the longing gazes that Larson and Patterson cast at each other—the kind of softer emotions that almost never work in a music video—that make it linger.
"We do use the chemistry to our advantage. We try to make it look real on stage, whether or not it is, so people connect to us," notes Patterson. The pair's personalities are complimentary, offstage and on: Larson is naturally gregarious while Patterson is charmingly shy, looking down and speaking softly. "The best kind of music and art or anything you can give to people is honest," Larson says. "Even just watching the video you can feel there was something there and I think people really do pick up on the emotions of the singers."
This begs the question of whether they're a couple. "I don't think we've ever actually been asked that but … well, yes," Larson says. "The funny thing is we've lied about it but it's not something we really advertise. We try to avoid it if possible, because we don't want people to look at the band and imagine that it's all about us. So we don't want it to become, you know, a thing." Still, Larson's not the type to turn down a good source of song fodder when he's got one. "When you have a common theme of love, it's really easy to take it from so many different places. So there are some songs on the record that aren't about our particular relationship. One of them I remember writing about a friend and one was more about family. So you can take honest feelings from so many people that you love and care about. You can make that into a basic love song whether if it's about a boy or girl in love or not."
Nor do Patterson and Larson mind if you bring up the most obvious example of a couple-fronted band. "Someone once referred to us as a modern-day Fleetwood Mac, which is a huge compliment," says Patterson. Adds Larson, "Hopefully we won't end up like Fleetwood Mac. But then again we might write Rumours and that might be the best thing that ever happened. That's an amazing album."
Another classic-rock figure turns up, at least spiritually, early in Glow: "Vagabonds" catches a pair of young lovers meeting on the driveway at night, singing along with the radio, ready to make tracks away from a dead-end town, with "everything we need here in this car." You can guess what tramps like them were born to do. "That's exactly what our producer said," Larson notes. "He's a funny guy, very expressive, and when we played that song he starts dancing around the room, looks over at us and says, 'This is old Springsteen baby, I love this!' So that's exactly what we wanted." Especially since Larson's always out to write something universal. "That song's really about the idea of throwing caution to the wind—trying to capture a moment where you're feeling so many possibilities and try new things, whether they're things you're supposed to be doing or not. It's a wonderful thing to think about sometimes—maybe when people are frustrated at work, they can relate to that idea."
That's about it for before-their-time throwbacks, however: For the most part, Royal Teeth's sound is shiny and modern, untouched by pre-'80s pop. (You could find some U2 in their chiming guitar lines, or some Pixies in the male/female harmonies, but even those would be a stretch.) A closer parallel might be the Raveonettes or their Dangerbird label-mates, Silversun Pickups. Here's the rub, however: As far as New Orleans is concerned, Royal Teeth is a between-the-eyes pop group, potentially the most commercial Louisiana act this side of Britney Spears. But the rest of the world is likely to find them downright quirky, or to lump them with whatever's left of alternative rock. Credit that to their moodiness, the offbeat melodic turns and chord changes, and the bend of distorted guitars with bright vocals—all the very things that make them interesting. And when was the last time you heard a commercial pop album where the vocals are Autotune-free?
None of which kept "Wild" from going viral, and for a song that isn't technically a hit single (yet), it's been everywhere: On two commercials (for Buick and State Farm), on an Oprah Winfrey promo and on MTV; they also played it live on Carson Daly's Last Call in March. And if you need proof that Royal Teeth were born under a good sign, here it is: The song initially caught on without the benefit of a publishing deal. "We have one now, but we didn't at the time," Larson says. "It gave us money to tour, basically—we knew nothing about publishing deals, but when money came in, it meant we could go out for a few months and actually play some shows. The biggest thing so far has been FIFA 13, the soccer video game." A strange place, you might think, for a song about sex. "That's originally what it was but when I sing, 'I believe I can make you scream,' I'm thinking about the crowd out there. And when we sing about making some history it's more like we're singing to each other: 'This is something special. Let's make this happen.'"

In 2017, Apple and Google have both decisively committed to AR, making it a strategic product focus for the iPhone and for Android. With the release of their new AR frameworks (ARKit and ARCore), half a billion smartphones are now capable of delivering state-of-the-art mobile AR experiences.
With AR (augmented reality), you can project an interactive map of your next travel destination onto your coffee table or take care of a virtual baby unicorn on your carpet. But you can also inspect a production line, visualise medical data or see the inner workings of a machine you need to repair. And that's just the start.
Just like with VR a few years ago, we're bound to see a lot of experimentation as developers figure out the new possibilities. But a few particularly valuable use cases already stand out.
1. Visualising and configuring products
This is an obvious win in AR, particularly for retail and manufacturing. Retailers like IKEA are using AR to let potential customers browse their catalogue and immediately see their desired furniture in their own homes, with the correct scale and measurements.
A Belgian example is Telenet, who recently teamed up with In The Pocket to create an AR experience for the self-installation of Digicorders.
2. Showing highly personalized info about surroundings
Imagine having a food intolerance or special dietary needs and standing in a grocery aisle at the supermarket, trying to decide about dinner. Instead of reading the fine print on the packaging, you simply hold up your phone and highly personalised information on the product appears, like allergens, fat content or even how much of your daily calorie budget it contains.
3. Indicating location and distance
Picture yourself at an outdoor festival trying to find your friends in a crowd. Instead of exchanging countless messages, you hold up your phone and an icon and distance indicator appears showing exactly where your friends are, based on their GPS location.
4. AR Magic
Augmented reality on mobile, impressive as the underlying technical details may be, is a fairly simple concept. It provides no groundbreaking solutions on its own. But add complementary technologies like machine learning, micro-location and cloud infrastructure into the mix, and suddenly things become possible that would have seemed like magic a few short years ago.
The next big step for AR is context awareness. AR apps will be able to determine exactly where they are, so virtual elements can be mapped to exact locations with high precision. This data will enable a whole new class of AR apps (indoor navigation, locating products, location-specific experiences,…), like the indoor navigation app we built to guide guests through our office during our annual conference Shift. The next leap forward will be AR wearables or actual biological augmentation. Companies like Microsoft, Meta and Magic Leap are already working on those.
Ready for an AR-powered future?
The future vision for AR is clear: ultimately, we will all gain the ability to surface any kind of digital information into the real world. Text, voice, images, video, even 3D projections of other places and people will seamlessly manifest. Augmented reality's ultimate goal is to give us all superpowers, and many trends are converging to make this happen in the coming decade.
Mobile AR as we see it today may only be the first step towards a superpowered future, but it is ready to make a large impact on the mobile world. Smart organisations can reap its benefits today with the right use cases. When the whole world becomes your canvas, it's time to get creative!

It took place a week ago—the presentation of the first ever AMY Award—and what a thrill it was. I was so honored to give the award before the full orchestra (the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra), and the near-capacity audience (almost 2400, including the 500 violists in attendance for the International Viola Congress). It took place just after intermission—the first half of the program was works by Margaret Brouwer and Sofia Gubaidulina (it was actually quite extraordinary to have two works by women on a single program), and after the presentation, the program concluded with Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. I thought I would share the entire text of my speech:
Women's Philharmonic Advocacy was launched four years ago with the goal of encouraging orchestras to program more works by women. We wanted to carry on part of the mission of The Women's Philharmonic, a professional orchestra that was based in San Francisco from 1980 to 2004. Over those 24 years, they performed more than 300 works composed by women from the 17th century to the present.
Of course recent decades have seen considerable change, so we have, on the one hand, women who are among the most performed and recognized contemporary composers—but on the other hand, if you look at statistics provided by the League of American Orchestras, you find that the overall number of works composed by women is still only no more than 1.7 percent of the orchestral performance repertoire. That is a very tiny sliver of the composer pie.
So when we noticed what was happening here in Rochester, with Maestro Remmereit and the Philharmonic, we thought we had better come up with an award for this. This is what we want to see as the new normal, a model for orchestras across the country: to explore new new repertoire—commissions and works by living composers—and also new, old repertoire—that is, works from the past decades and centuries, the buried treasures that today's audiences have never had a chance to hear.
We decided to name our award the AMY Award, after Amy Beach. As you know, Beach was the first American woman to have a symphony performed. She published more than 300 works, yet—after her death, like every other female composer she was erased from the repertoire and from music history.
Last fall you had the exciting opportunity to hear Beach's masterpiece, her Gaelic Symphony. This fall you will get to hear her Piano Concerto. Perhaps in 2013 it will be time for her monumental Mass, a work which, despite its grandeur, has never been professionally recorded. And in 2014 maybe we will hear her Balkan Variations. And perhaps in 2015 her concert arias. And did I mention her Mass has never been recorded?
I hope you will agree that in embarking on this pathway of discovery, Maestro Remmereit has not forced you to listen to a lot of crummy music. By introducing new works to our classical traditions—creating classics—the orchestral world will be strengthened and invigorated, and audiences will be excited by the discoveries that span continents, centuries, and genders.
Will Maestro Remmereit please come forward to accept the award.
The sculpture is by artist Rita Blitt. It stands ½ inch taller than the Oscar statue, and we think it is much more beautiful!
On behalf of WPA, I am happy to present Maestro Remmereit and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra with the AMY award for excellence in orchestral programming.
Everyone was so excited by this, and Maestro Remmereit was very moved. We didn't get any pictures, but there is this one from the reception afterwards. But I am definitely going back in the fall!
ALSO: Our Board plans to announce the details (on June 18) of another program to encourage including more works by women to the orchestral repertoire, our WPA Performance Grants.

Galerie D.X
The contemporary art gallery Galerie D.X is located in the centre of Bordeaux in the Quinconces esplanade between the Grand Théâtre and the CAPC (Museum of Contemporary Art). Galerie D.X presents a selection of contemporary artists, painters and/or sculptors. Since opening in January 2009, the gallery has already organised 8 exhibitions: Richard Texier, Claude Viallat/Jean-Charles Blais/Alain Ballereau, Cédric Bouteiller, Lydie Arickx, Bernard Ouvrard, Chérif & Geza, Cyril Olanier and Kjeld Ulrich.
Our eclectic choice responds to local demand and curiosity from Bordeaux residents and visitors: we alternately display famous national and international artists, as well as new talent that we have discovered.
At the same time as these individual exhibitions, the gallery permanently presents works by the above named artists, as well as Tony Soulié, Robert Combas, Godwin Hoffmann and Anton Tàpies who are displayed on request. Galerie D.X also aims to be a meeting place, a link between the artists, the magicians who are thought provoking and art lovers always seeking pleasure from art.

Since its publication in 2008 Nudge theory has rapidly gained popularity (Dolan et al., 2012; Vlaev et al., 2016), leading to what could be considered overuse, sparking concerns surrounding its ethical application.
Purpose / Scope
The purpose of this research is twofold: to shed light on how media coverage effects attitude formation in regards to nudge theory and to explore the effectiveness of a different data collection methodology when considering general feelings towards nudges.
To accomplish this, previous applications of the theory will be acknowledged, along with a literature review of persuasion psychology. This is to be followed by a case study analysis pertaining to how the public responded online to news publications making them aware of Sainsbury's and Oxfords intentions to conduct a nudge experiment in the near future. Along with how they may have been subject to unwitting participation in the experiment had it not been for this disclosure.
The literature Review
- A Brief History of Nudge Theory
- Nudge Ethics and Acceptability
- How People Feel About Being Persuaded
- Current Research
- Gaps in Research.
- Qualitative Analysis
- Case Studies
- The Selected Case Study
- Direct Observation
- What Is Non-Reactive/Unobtrusive: Internet-Mediated Research (IMR)

Get Started
Friendly and Certified Firearms Training for Women Since 2011
It's no surprise to us that women's bodies are different than men's. When shooting men can more easily leverage their upper body strength to manage recoil. Women usually have to engage muscles throughout the body when shooting to ensure a stable platform. Having strong arms and a strong core is paramount to shooting success, as well as overall self-defense, endurance, and balance.
How do you increase upper body strength? The answer is simple — and this program is free to all AG & AG members!
As a member of AG & AG, you are welcome to participate in our Push-Up Challenge! Throughout this six-week program you will receive daily emails with weekly lesson plans that map out five quick and simple training sessions. The exercises can all be done anywhere and you don't need special equipment. All you need is the desire to get stronger and the hunger to improve yourself.
If you are on social media, you can also join our Push-Up Challenge Facebook group to watch videos and get personalized coaching and encouragement.
Studies have shown that you can actually work yourself into phenomenal shape by focusing more on just your arms. Your muscles are less dense in your arms, which means your nervous system gets hit fast. Working your arms burns more calories and develops a higher cardiovascular threshold than many other type of training. It will also give you strength, speed, fitness, and toning like you would never believe! Larry St. Clair is an AG & AG National Conference Instructor and has been coaching AG & AG members through fitness challenges for years. He has helped people increase their push ups from ZERO to 66 in just 6 weeks! Dedicate six weeks to the Push-Up Challenge and you will see progress!

Playwrights: James Lapine & Stephen Sondheim
Director: Susi Damilano
What happens after "happily ever after"? Fractured fairy tales of a darker hue provide the context for Into the Woods, which deconstructs the Brothers Grimm by way of The Twilight Zone. While the faces and names are familiar, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack in the Beanstalk and company inhabit a sylvan neighborhood in which witches and bakers are next-door neighbors, handsome princes from once-parallel fables are competitive (and equally vain) brothers and all the stories intersect through unexpected new plot twists. Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's beloved musical intertwines classic fairy tales with a contemporary edge to tell stories of wishes granted and the price paid.Tickets and info: (415) 677-9596; sfplayhouse.org

Pintado, Sheila, and Sandra Andrade. "Randomized controlled trial of mindfulness program to enhance body image in patients with breast cancer." European Journal of Integrative Medicine, online June 1, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eujim.2017.05.009.
Introduction. Breast cancer affects the thoughts and emotions related to patient's body image and it has a negative impact in their quality of life. The purpose of this study was to conduct a randomized controlled trial in patients with breast cancer comparing mindfulness training to improve body image with a program based on personal image advice.
Method. A total of 29 women with breast cancer were randomly allocated into one of 2 groups: an experimental (mindfulness program) and control (personal image advice) group. The assessment tools were semi-structured interviews and the BIS and SBC questionnaires. Data was analyzed using quantitative techniques.
Results. The mindfulness program was effective in decreasing negative thoughts and emotions related to body image and dissociation (p < .01), and in increasing positive thoughts and body awareness (p<.01). Moreover, there were significant differences in body image between control and experimental group (F(1,28) = 12.616; p<.01; ηp2=.335).
Conclusion. The mindfulness program was useful in improving psychological and emotional changes related to body image in breast cancer patients. Changes in body image are a key component in the treatment of breast cancer patients with the ability to improve the patient's quality of life.

The lovely and hilarious Sonja at Pintester has been taking the guesswork (and grueling hours, and tears, and ultimate failures) out of some of our favorite pins for trying them for us. Her experiences are hysterical, and make me feel like less of a loser when I try a pin and it ultimately sucks. Recently, she proposed The Pintester Movement, where the blog world attempts a pin they've been staring at for months, and writes about it. Originally, I had wanted to do something food related, but trying to find the time this week has been difficult, so I went with something else - DIY t-shirts.
My shirt is an XL and has been previously washed and dryed, so I know it's done shrinking. (I hope.)
The instructions were simple and visual (my favorite) and showed me exactly where to cut on my oversized t-shirt. (I also realized, doing this, that I own a LOT of oversized t-shirts. Will this pass the test? Will I suddenly have a closet of DIY ribbon tanks? Time will tell.)
Pretty easy - cut arms, making sure to cut inwards and also further down, and cut a deep neck. Also cut bottom.
The final result?
Pretty cute, eh?
I tried it on and it fits great. I may have to cut the arms a little deeper and the neck a little deeper, as it bunches more and isn't as loose as I would like it, but this is one of those DIY's where its really up to your preference, and how large a shirt you're working with. I will definitely be doing this to a few more of my insanely oversized t-shirts, especially with the summer heat creeping up. I may rock this to the beach this weekend!
I'd say this one is Pinner approved.
