THE UNAFFECTED RESOLVE (The making of a comic part 6)
Guess who's back after a long hiatus away doing a lot of client commisions on the side and getting side-tracked by life itself. Here's some of the commissions I did during that time. Yeah, I have a life. That means I face the same kind of challenges as anybody else out there. There isn't any established comic publishing in Kenya, which means you either self-publish or bite the dust. You could try reaching out to other established comic artists over here, but currently there aren't that many of them. Those that are there are probably balancing being self-published and their day job (Their main source of income) Walking the thin line of balance of being your own publisher and balancing your day job isn't easy. That means your'e doing two jobs at once, and if your'e a comic artist then believe me it will slow down your own personal projects as you do client work to hustle funds. Simple rule I've learnt is, first get the means and then pursue the dream. If your'e self publishing, then you're going to need to do that side hustle to make that comic dream job a reality. Call it having a financial security buffer incase things go south for those of you aspiring to be comic book artists. That aside, it's no suprise I'm still colouring my graphic novel. I'll talk at length later on how I do my colouring , but heres a sneak peek at how I do that. That's from the sketch I did to the inks. Notice I changed my inking style, well that tends to happen when you get better at what you're doing. Transition from inks to colour. I did my three main characters in this sketch. That's the Cat-guy, Lisa and Orville. You can check out the book via this link https://www.254comics.com/comics/unaffectedresolve_1/ Heres some sample coloured pages from the book you can enjoy before the full thing comes out. Enjoy!

THE UNAFFECTED RESOLVE (The making of a comic part 5)
It's been a while since I updated my comic build blog. Blame it on the workload required to actually complete this project. Which is a lot of work, believe me. Which I still find incredibly enjoyable despite all that.
I'm one of those guys that devotes ALL of his attention to the task at hand, so dividing that kind of focus from my comic work to writing means one of the two things is bound to suffer and for me, the comic work is higher on my list of priorities for now.
Currently as I write this, the book is still undergoing its colouring phase. I'm taking it slow and steady in this final stage because this is where the real magic happens. It'll take as long as it takes. I'll only move onto the next page once I'm reasonably satisfied with how the current page looks in colour.
So why colour? Why not just leave the book in black&white?? Afterall, it already looks good in black&white.
Well here's why.
ANY comic looks ten times better in colour compared to their black&white counterparts.Reality of things is that people are much more likely to check out the badly drawn full colour comic compared to another nicely drawn one in black&white.
I can hear the arguments coming. But before you unleash hell on me, hear me out. Maybe after listening to me, you might end up changing your mind. And that's a big maybe if you're a die hard black&white fan.
Think of it like this, black and white art is like a black and white screen television while the full colour art is like the colour screen television we are so used to using in many of our homes. Which one do you prefer, and don't you dare lie to yourself.
That's what I thought.
Colour beats black&white any day simply because of the fact that it's more attractive.
Heck even my own comic art looks far better in colour than it does in black&white! Here's a sneak peak at the last page I worked on, page 18 of my book.
Colour does a lot of things for the comic.
One of the critical things I noticed about colour is it helped make parts and sections of the art much clearer that weren't noticeable while the art was in its black&white state. I'd get an independent party to scrutinize one of my pages and it would take them a minute or two to notice bits I wanted them to see immediately.
That really irked me, but colour quickly remedied that issue because I could now easily create a center of interest using colour and guide their eyes where I wanted. Granted I did take some measures before utilizing colour within my art such as simplifying the said art because I did not want colour to become a tool for covering up mistakes like most people seem to do.
One of the other critical things it does is it makes the art much more realistic. Think about it, we associate colour with certain objects and feelings. You use colour to set the mood of your page much more clearly compared to a black and white page, something you can't really do in black&white, unless you're really good at playing with light and shadows. Which to be honest, most of us aren't. But hopefully,were working towards that aren't we? I hope so.
But colour on its own isn't invincible, it needs the black&white art. This black&white art is the heart of the comic. It is the Adam to the Eve that is colour.
Which brings me back to my main aim of this particular article. And if you haven't guessed it by now, it isn't just about colour. It's also about inking ,which is the next step after the sketching phase. I'll write another article about colour soon, ofcourse as I keep working on the book. For now, the spotlight is on inking.
So what's inking?
The first time I ever heard that term ,I thought about ink being splashed all over paper like the way kids do back in kindergarden or nursery school as we call it over here in Kenya. Kids just kind of dip their hands in a bowl of ink and plaster those same hands onto paper creating these ink impressions of their little hands. Adorable huh? We'll I realized I was being silly imagining all that humdrum stuff so I turned to the greatest source of information right now. The internet.
And boy did I find out how misguided my imaginations were!
Inking is a big part of the black&white world. Infact cancel that, it IS the black&white world.
There are so many articles online about inking that my blog would not even come near to scratching the surface on that topic, so I'll just cover the basics because my comic blog isn't necessarily a tutorial of how to make a comic but rather how I myself made mine and the stages i went through to get here.
Don't expect any indepth instructions on how to use design and comic softwares from me because if you're reading this, you must have some level of competency in using said software if you plan to succeed in making your own comic. So go check out articles online on the topic to learn more detailed information about that.
Now that we have that out of the way, here's my understanding of inking.
Inking according to me is more of a process of making the sketches much more bold, clearer, and truth be told ; much better.
It's where you get to clean up all the stray lines you made during your sketching stage, and instead replace them with the lines you feel are in the right place. A good example of this is here in one of my pages below
Notice that in the image I dimmed down the sketch layer to use it as a guide for my new line art. I opened up a new layer, selected an inking brush from the brush library in my drawing software and proceeded to lay out new line art over my sketch art.
The completed page looked like this after all the inking was complete
In case you're trying to figure out what page of the book that is, I suggest you head over to the 254comics website link below and buy yourself a copy. Easy as that!
Okay, back to business. We were still on the topic of softwares.
Computer softwares like Adobe Photoshop ,Adobe Illustrator and Manga Studio just to mention a few because there are so many digital drawing options out there ; make for really good comic drawing companions. In this case I personally used illustrator.
There are two stages in the inking process that I'll cover below;
1. Inking the line art
Just like I talked about in the image above, inking in the line art is basically repeating your lines in your sketch image but with much bolder lines. Here you get to smoothen out the bits and lines you didn't like in the original image, a good example is this image of the face of one of my book's main characters, Lisa Sagini.
Notice how much smoother the lines on her face are and how much darker and bolder they are. That's what inking does. It replaces the light pencil like nature of sketches with dark bold lines. It's what makes the work look more professional because it gives off a more refined impression of your art when someone looks at it. So work on those lines, smoothen them out. Avoid the shaky and fuzzy lines unless that's the kind of look you're going for.
Here's what that particular sketch ended up looking like when I was done with it. It was one of my first concept arts before the book so bear with me in case it isn't at par with my current art.
But inking line art isn't just about drawing out the lines, you must remember that you are creating art hence the rules of art apply.
You must employ the elements and principles of art. Include different methods of shading , mix thick lines with thin ones etc. You know what's required.
2. Inking in the shadows
Now inking in shadows is a bit of a controversial topic because every artist has their own technique of going about it. I myself use a different technique, so don't necessarily use mine. Find out what kind of styles are out there, then choose what works for you.
For me, dropping in the shadows comes much earlier even before the inking stage. I do it in my sketching stage. I sort of create maps of where I want shadows and then take the dive by filling them in. Here's what one of my inked sketches looks like.
I've left that particular page incomplete so that you can see where exactly the maps are and where the inks and shadows go in.
And no, I won't talk about how to sketch out action scenes, not right now anyway. That's a whole other article for another day. I'll keep covering such stuff as I work on the book.
The book itself is a really long series, so expect to find images of sketches you might not get to see in the current available book. It just means you've got to keep following the series as it unfolds to find out what they mean and how exactly they fit into the storyline of "The Unaffected Resolve". So hang in there reader!
Digitally dropping in the shadows is a whole other monster by itself. But if you followed the previous steps where you set up your maps correctly, lay out your inked line art then it becomes easier from there.
From there all you have to do is now drop in the inks. Which is a bit tedious by the way because you have to follow every individual map you created and carefully fill in the inks making sure you don't spill any of it outside the map's bounderies. To do this, I used the lasso tool and after selecting all the maps I filled them with black colour. Just like that, and you're done!
Here's what one of my pages looks like after both steps. I'll use a familiar image for this demonstration, my book's chapter page. Here it is below.
Here's the sketch itself with all the maps in place
Here's the inked result
Fast forward to the colouring phase and you end up with this.
So there you have it. I hope that's been helpful! For those of you that haven't checked out my book already, head over to the 254comics website and buy yourself a copy. https://www.254comics.com/comics/unaffectedresolve_1

THE UNAFFECTED RESOLVE (The making of a comic Part 4)
Here's part 4 of the making of my book "The Unaffected Resolve" available online on the 254comics website at https://www.254comics.com/comics/unaffectedresolve_1
The Unaffected Resolve-Chapter1 cover page
Most times people tend to move beyond the sketching stage and straight into the inking stage of making a comic, that's a big mistake. Why? Well here's why.
Comics require a team of expertise to blossom into a reality. Be warned, it's no walk in the park, especially if you're an indie comic artist like I am, and a beginner at that! Being alone in the making of the book meant I had to become all of these people at once.
The script writer
This is the person who writes the story. Without this guy, then the story has no direction. This is the guy who determines what those characters in your book will look like and how they behave.
Multiple scripts I wrote for the book
The penciler
This is the guy who draws out pencil sketches and illustrations for the book.I consider this one of the most critical roles in making the book since comics are a visual medium, so the illustrations have to meet that recommended level.
One of the concept sketches for the book
The inker
Now this guy inks out the lineart that the penciler makes. This person is the one that determines what amount of shadows go where and how thick those final lines will look. This role is also equally critical since it will make or break the book.
Page 6 of The Unaffected Resolve-Chapter1 (Black&White)
The colourist
This person is in charge of colouring in the illustrations for the book. Another critical role that's both time consuming and challenging.
Page 6 of The Unaffected Resolve-Chapter1 (Fullcolour)
The letterer
This person is in charge of all the lettering of the book. It might seem like a minor role at first but when you compare a book with bad lettering with one with good lettering, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Closeup of lettering within the book.
Aside from the roles I've mentioned above, one shouldn't move to the next stage before strengthening their artistic ability first. It's more like warming up for an exercise. Before one can go to perform a high intensity exercise regime, you've first got to warm up. Failure to that means you risk picking up injuries during your work out session.
Get a good understanding of how traditional art techniques work. Challenge yourself . I did a lot of traditional arts before i moved onto the next stages before finally entering the digital stage. Call it warming up, that way you won't see it as a waste of time. Attitude is everything. Remember that your book is going to benefit from those activities whenever you feel like quiting. So forge ahead.
Within my concept art/sketching stage, I did some paintings. I recommend paintings highly because they teach you how light and colours work within a picture. Comic books are paintings by nature, just with word bubbles and literature added into the mix. So if you can paint, then creating a reasonable comic page shouldn't be so hard. The same concept applies in comics.
So here's a step by step walk thru of one of my paintings;
Step2- Adding in the flat colors, these will form the foundation for the painting
Step3-Detailing, here details begin to be added onto the flat colors.
Step4- Jaguar and croc all done!
Step5- Adding in some final touches
Basically that's how it's done, so get out there and warm up!
That's it for today, check out my Facebook page and Instagram for more of my art.

THE UNAFFECTED RESOLVE (The making of a comic part 3)
I'm in the final colouring phase of my book "The Unaffected Resolve-Chapter 1" (114 pages) and all I can say for now is it's been a long and interesting journey getting here. A lot of blood and sweat has gone into this project of mine, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Yes, even the late nights when I'd rather sleep than draw anything. For those trying times I chose to spend them infront of my computer correcting some of the many glaring mistakes bound to be present for anyone making their first book. I found ways to stay motivated and finish the book.
Part 1 of the book is available online in black&white (30pages) on the 254comics website https://www.254comics.com/comics/unaffectedresolve_1 . Make sure to check it out and buy yourself a copy.
The Unaffected Resolve-Chapter 1 coverpage
I think the most overlooked part of this process is in the beginning. A little something called sketching. I talked about it in my earlier post, but it's an incredibly wide topic. I'll do my best to summarize it in as few words as possible.
There is literally no excuse on why anyone thinking of undertaking comics isn't sketching regularly. Sketching can be done on any kind of paper available to you, so it is inexpensive in itself.
Sketch of some of my book's characters on ruled paper
Seriously, I've seen guys sketch on tissue paper and produce some really good art.There really is no excuse for not doing it, excuses such as saying you don't have time for it don't count. Make time for it. On your lunch break, Before you head off to sleep, While you wait for that lecture to start or when you finish your activities for the day early etc.
I started out small and ended up with files full of sketches that really helped guide the making of the book.
Concept work and sketches. The long journey before the book
The list is endless on opportunities one can take to do that one simple thing. Sketch.
Pick any blank page from a book and sketch something. Buy a sketchbook if need be. Make it a habit. The more you do it, the easier it will be to create continuous pages of comic art.
I'll just put this out there for anyone thinking of diving into the comics industry. Your sketching game must be on point. You must be able to draw literally anything from any possible angle. That's right, I said it. Why? Well let me tell you exactly why that is.
Think of your comic like a movie. There are things called camera angles, and you're the director controlling said angles.
Concept sketch I made earlier of a comic page for the book
There's the bird's eye view angle where the camera focuses on the point of interest from above the said object, it's usually used to capture a scenery or to depict weaker and smaller characters in a scene. There's the worm's eye view that focuses on the point of interest from below the said object, used to depict imposing characters or figures.There is the close-up view that zooms in on a particular point of interest, usually used to depict a specific action, such as the emotion in a character's face. I could go on and on about camera angles, but that's a whole other article for another day. Point is, do your research before starting anything.
You don't have to be the best illustrator out there (P.S- There are many awesome talents out there) ,but that's no excuse for not making good art. Like it or not you're competing against these guys, and you will be judged according to the content you produce. The reader is the judge, so you better hope their verdict falls in your favour.
Pick books on various topics (anatomy,animals, machines etc) and practice drawing what you see. Try everything possible to get yourself to an acceptable level of drawing competency.
A sketch can make or break your comic art. A sketch is like a skeleton, the skeleton has to be there to support the flesh. A good skeleton means the person or creature will have a stable form when flesh is formed around it. Likewise a deformed skeleton means that the person or creature will have a deformed shape. So a good sketch stands a higher chance of ending up as an attractive art work/illustration while a deformed sketch will ultimately mirror the deformity in its final stage.
Keep your sketches simple and loose while you work on capturing the camera angles in your book. That way you won't burn out ,which is what usually happens when you strain to include every possible detail within your artwork while still under pressure to produce more pages.You will also save time and be able to speed through the sketching stage.
Come up with a work plan , in my case I'd do around 4 pages loosely, then later go back and add in the necessary details. By adding in the details, you save the ideas you initially had in mind. You don't have to add in all the details at this points, but I'd recommend doing so if you don't want to waste time next time since you'll still have to go back and add in those details.
A comic page does not need to be heavily detailed , but it still needs to be reasonably detailed. Put too little detail and people notice. No one likes laziness in comic art, I know I don't. I try my best to add in details where I deem necessary since some scenes require less details while some require a huge amount of it. It's basically a delicate balance between the two.
Details greatly break monotony. It gives the mind something to think about, and if the reader is going to go through pages of your art then you need to include a reasonable amount of detail to keep them engaged.So draw the damn background already!
Put too much detail and the center of interest in your sketch is lost within all the muck. Create a center of interest by limiting most of that detail on the point you want focus on. Fade out the background by reducing details on them. Expand the size of objects in the foreground to direct the focus of the eye onto them. Too much detail also tends to bog down the mind with too much information .The reader will quickly tire of trying to process all that information at once after a few pages, so limit it to the amount of detail you need to pass your message effectively.
We are all a work in progress, even the best guys in the comic business still struggle with something. So don't beat yourself up if your sketches look like something resembling stick figures, all good sketches originate from those same stick figures. So improve on your sketching game before moving onto the next step. Until next time, cheers!
DEMOLISHON by Humphrey Osoro
Way back in high school I had this great idea of doing an editorial cartoon strip section for the school magazine but due to the strict rules and regulations at the time, the thing didn't really take off.Blame it on the system. Funny enough in the underground world ,the guys loved this thing. This cartoon strip called "Demolishon" ,which is literally where I demolish all the weird stuff I observed in a day to day basis while surviving the many hurdles of high school life.
Demolishon was a way for me to speak out against some of the strange and negative stuff I saw without directly offending the person responsible. It was a creative way of teaching this person not to engage in whatever they were doing. Guys would laugh at the funny illustrations but at the end of the day still gain a lesson or two from them.
I still enjoy making people laugh though, here's the first of my editorial cartoon strips titled "Demolishon", aimed at addressing some of the vices in society, and of course to tickle your ribs wherever possible😂 Enjoy!
THE UNAFFECTED RESOLVE(The making of a comic part2)
Where to begin?
The hardest part about making the book was actually starting. Funny huh? People usually assume that the drawing part is the hardest but in real sense, it's the beginning that's the biggest hurdle one has to overcome.
In the initial stage, you'll find yourself sitting alone in your studio (or room if you aren't heavy pocketwise), just staring at the ceiling trying to come up with that bright idea for your book.
A lot of times you'll end up doubting yourself saying things like "Oh, that's cliche", "That's already been done" but such thinking ends up being self contradicting and drains the creative energy from you. What you should be thinking is "How can I make my idea stand out?" And most importantly, "Is the book I want to make the one I want to read?" Those are the questions I asked myself before starting on the book.
First step is writing the damn thing. Stop the procrastination already! Lots of people I've met keep saying they'll make a book and yet haven't. I've been there too. For me I had some really good friends that called me out on my laziness. Sorround yourself with people like that.
I spent months writing out scripts for the book. The story itself has to flow smoothly, so you'd better sit down infront of your computer and keep typing than lose focus and get stuck drawing aimlessly in future. Without a script, drawing the comic art is pointless because it has no direction. For an artist, writing a script is in my opinion something unnatural. We're so used to making art on the fly! Ideas come out of nowhere and there we are with our art tools drawing out the art. It's actually that simple! Yet one must delve out of their comfort zone if they wish to evolve. So evolve young artist!
Introduce the aspect of a plan using a script and you throw an artist out of his comfort zone. Suddenly he's forced to change himself. To adapt to a specific way of doing things. To follow a charted direction as opposed to abruptly changing a creative direction. Every comic artist has to go through this. It's the difference between drawing a comic and the other conventional forms of art.
Once the script is done, get a second opinion on it! Seriously, do it. You might think your story is great because you wrote it but due to your love for your project, you will ultimately be blind to it's flaws. I made this a big priority. A lot of my friends & family are witness to this. Needless to say I pestered and bombarded them to read my scripts and point out the plot holes in my story. For anyone just starting their journey in writing, I strongly advice this. I learned a lot from that one stage of the comic making process. The script has to be scrutinized by a completely independent person. It has to be in plain words, no illustrations to make it universal so that any literature buff out there can read it like a normal script. Listen to the comments you get from the book, improve and correct where necessary and move on to the next step. Do not spend too much time editing and correcting, or else you'll take years to finish that book.
In the next stage begin the concept work for the book. Get ideas from everywhere. Be it games or movies, the list is endless. Remember all those people that tell you playing PlayStation games and watching all those movies is bad for you? We'll guess what? It's not. If you watch those movies and play those computer games with the aim of gaining ideas and valuable knowledge you can adapt and enrich your artistic self, then you might actually learn something .Sadly that isn't the case with most people.
The book required lots of sketching. Sketching will have to become a part of who you are. There is no short cut around it.You must exercise those sketching muscles because illustrating dozens of pages isn't easy. When you get to the point of where you actually start enjoying sketching, then you can move on to the next stage of making the book you want. Here's a brief glimpse of how my own sketches look like, before and after. Sorry if the images weren't taken in the best resolution, but you get the idea.
First step: Basic shapes are drawn and detail is lightly added onto it gradually
Final piece
As you might have noticed, my sketches are quite crude. I do them in ink. Why? Its an old habit I picked up. It just seemed cleaner and more permanent compared to my pencil sketches. So pick what works for you. Here's more sketches below to keep you busy! Until next time. Cheers!
THE UNAFFECTED RESOLVE (The making of a comic)
For years I spent many days & nights drawing out random cartoons & comic art. I was that guy that would draw out cartoons at the back of an exercise book and land myself a good beating from the class teacher when he/she got bombarded by those drawings while marking the usual class assignment. Still I never stopped drawing…In fact it got worse…the urge to draw could not be extinguished.
The idea for the book finally came to me in highschool when a good friend of mine showed me a local Kenyan comic that a guy had made and published himself …and it hit me…Of all the art I'd made over the years, I had virtually nothing to show for it. Most of the artworks had either been given away as presents to friends and family or either gotten sold over the course of time. So I embarked on creating the book. Lots of concept work and writing later and the book is finally here ! Available online at the 254comics website at https://www.254comics.com/comics/unaffectedresolve_1 . Join me as i embark on this comic making journey!
The Unaffected Resolve Synopsis:

Instead of having a case of the Mondays, students at Plano West Senior High School were left wondering who done it.
"Yeah there was some inappropriate things," said senior Jamaine Wiley.
A host of foul gold graffiti was sprayed across the school's gym doors and walls was first discovered just before 7 a.m. Monday when a parent was dropping off a student.
"There's a lot of random graffiti," said Plano Police Department spokesman David Tilley. "Some of it can be considered racial slurs, some that is profanity, some images that are very vulgar."
Students were taking the vandalism in stride, taking pictures to show parents and even taking selfies in front of the markings.
"I think it's stupid," Garrett Calhoun, a junior, said of the graffiti. "I don't know why people do it."
Police believe it's boils down to a school rivalry and said it won't be tolerated.
"There comes a point when you cross that line," said Tilley. "That line was crossed today."
The punishment for vandalism like this can carry jail time up to two years and include a fine of up to $10,000.
Principal Kathy King sent the following message to the Plano West community:
I know that the vandalism discovered on our campus this morning has been the subject of concern for many of you. It was disheartening for the students and staff of Plano West to return to our school following the weekend to find vulgarities spray-painted on buildings, vehicles and other campus structures.
Campus and district personnel are working with the Plano Police Department to investigate this incident and to hopefully determine who is responsible for defacing our school. Now that crime scene officers have completed their work of capturing evidence, we are glad to be able to begin removing the graffiti from our campus as we continue our instructional day. Thank you for your support as we work to maintain a safe and welcoming learning community.

The last minute of June 30, 2012, was in fact 61 seconds long, with timekeepers around the globe adding a "leap second" to compensate for the wibbly-wobbly movements of our planet.
The ever-so-brief halting of the second hand helped compensate for a creeping divergence from solar time, meaning the period required for Earth to complete a day.
The planet takes just over 86,400 seconds for a 360-degree revolution.
But it wobbles on its axis and is affected by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon and the ocean tides, all of which brake the rotation by a tiny sliver of a second.
As a result, Earth gets out of step with International Atomic Time (TAI), which uses the pulsation of atoms to measure time to an accuracy of several billionths of a second.
To avoid solar time and TAI moving too far apart, the widely used indicator of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is adjusted every so often to give us the odd 86,401-second day.
The adjustments began in 1972. Before then, time was measured exclusively by the position of the Sun or stars in relation to Earth, expressed in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or its successor UT1.
Saturday was the 25th intervention to add a "leap second" to UTC.
"Today, time is constructed, defined and measured with atomic clocks that are infinitely more stable than astronomical time," Noel Dimarcq, director of the SYRTE time-space reference system at the Paris Observatory, said.
"This allows us to ensure that everyone on Earth is on the exact same time."
TAI is kept by several hundred atomic clocks around the world, measuring fluctuations in the atom of the chemical element caesium that allows them to divide a single second into 10 billion smaller bits.
With such precision, "only one (atomic) second is lost every 300 million years," said Dimarcq.

So that's a great place to use those partial quotes when you can use a portion of the phrasing inside of your own unique sentence to help make your point is a great way to use a quote. And if the quote is not too long. So if it's not over those 40 words, if it wouldn't require a big block quotation.
Visual: Slide changes to the title "Questions to Ask Before Using a Quote" and the following list of questions:
Audio: And before you use a quote, you should ask yourself some questions. So you can ask yourself: How does this quote connect to my thesis? How does it connect to the topic of this paragraph? What does it really mean or imply? Can I rephrase it in my own words? You'll also want to consider, is there a portion of the quotes that I could use instead of the entire quote, and is what I would like to quote paraphrased or already quoted information? APA states to be sure to use primary sources rather than secondary sources whenever possible. And if you're quoting something, then you should be quoting that author's unique idea, right? You want to quote their analysis, their explanations and if they're talking about somebody else, then you should go find that original source to quote them more directly.

I guess I'll start by saying that I believe in living life to the fullest! I take chances and I see life as a grand adventure…so much so, that my I quit my career as a broadcast journalist to follow my true passion and become a scuba diving instructor! Yes, I know…my parents thought it was kind of crazy too!
Although I'm originally from Canada (I emigrated from South Africa when I was a child) I've spent a lot of my time on a little island off of Honduras called Roatan. It's where my heart is. I have made so many great friends there that I consider them family as well.
In 2011 I decided to move to Phuket, Thailand and I became the Director of Marketing & Communications for the world's largest (and most famous) Muay Thai & MMA camp – Tiger Muay Thai. Here I honed my skills as a corporate communications specialist and had a ball…but soon it was time to create my own company – Inspired Risk Creative with the very talented filmmaker Ryan Jones. Our documentary The Unjust & Us is currently in post-production. Now we spend our time traveling the world….
In any case, this website is a passion project of mine and brings a whole lot of feel-good, gooey goodness to my heart on a daily basis. I really appreciate you visiting it!
I just can't get enough of romance, engagements and weddings! Since I'm constantly helping plan proposals, engagement parties and the like, I thought I should spread that advice here! Hopefully I'll be able to help you find what you need. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions. Love is my game.
Wishing you all the love and happiness in the world! Feel free to drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com
PS. All of the couple photos on this website have been taken by me and cannot be reproduced without my permission. Thank you for playing fair! :)
PPS. For those of you wondering, yes…I have found the love of my life! His name is Ryan (yes, the same Ryan I mentioned above) and he's kind, hilarious and absolutely gorgeous inside and out!

A couple of months ago I had an iMovie HD audio problem and I searched around the internet. I thought we figured it out and solved the issue.
Well, here's the issue. You import your clips into iMovie HD and you hear perfect audio as you import. But when you go back to the clips – no audio. Video is perfect. We thought it was all kinds of things. Bad firewire cable, bad firewire port, bad camera, corrupted preference files. Nothing seemed to be consistent.
So, yesterday I started surfing the net for the issue. And I came across the most bizarre solution. They suggested either opening Garageband or if you had deleted it (we had) to install it and then open it. Then play around on the virtual keyboard in Garageband and quit. Then open iMovie HD and your sound will return.
I found this suggested on at least 3 sites. One suggested that iLife apps get corrupted in some manner when they are deleted or not updated together. Who knows. But it worked – so far. Hope it stays solved.

PUSO ng USC Marks Fifth Year of Positive Change
image source: https://www.facebook.com/PUSOngUSC
PUSO ng USC, a year-long, gift-sharing event organized by the Philippine Junior Jaycees – USC Chapter (USC-JJC), marked its fifth year of creating positive change on Saturday, July 25.
In cooperation with other similarly-oriented student organizations and individual volunteers from the university, USC-JJC culminatedPUSO ng USC over two school beneficiaries this year: Ramon Duterte Memorial National High School (RDNHS) and Napo Elementary School of Sapangdaku, Cebu City. The schools at which the events were held were carefully chosen and publicly announced as beneficiaries on the USC Junior Jaycees' Facebook page weeks prior to the said activities.
During the two-day event, students from elementary and high school levels of Napo and RDNHS, respectively, including some who were not students at said schools, were kindled with joy and excitement as parlor games and a number of physical and social activities, prepared by the organizers, engulfed the program.
USC-JJC, alongside individual volunteers and other USC-SO's, the Supreme Student Counciland a few administrators from the university, reached RDNHS on July 18 and handed out packages of learning materials; all of which were equally partitioned with a number of notebooks, writing papers, ballpoint pens, pencils and erasers, sharpeners, plastic envelopes and other school supplies. These packages, obtained through earmarked sponsorships and student donations, were likewise distributed over Napo Elementary School the week after.
Reaching over five hundred students in 2014 and around a thousand this year, the event, which has been supporting fellow Cebuanos in charity for five years now, endeavors to impart the gift of education to even more, particularly to those who are needy and less fortunate, in the years to come.
As throughout the year, USC-JJC and all the other SO's in the university intend to undertake more events that similarly impact the society, a positive change in this seemingly dire world.

Robert Shoffner has been named Director of MBA Programs and full-time instructor at GGU's Ageno School of Business. Since 2014, he has been teaching at GGU and last year won the Outstanding Adjunct Faculty Member award for undergraduate management instruction. A former Citibank executive, Robert is also an alumnus of GGU's EMBA program and Brown University.
During his extensive career at Citibank, Robert excelled in numerous senior leadership roles, including President for California and Nevada. He was responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of Citibank's consumer, commercial, and investment businesses in the West Coast region that included a staff of 3,000. In addition, he worked with the International Retail bank of the Global Consumer Group as a business advisor to Citibank, Taiwan for the integration and development of a business banking proposition for the marketplace.
Robert's most recent full-time appointment was as Director of the Small Business Development Center in San Mateo, where he oversaw access to capital of $10.5 million in 2017. As an alumnus with considerable knowledge in new ventures and entrepreneurship, Robert redesigned GGU's Chevron Small Business and Entrepreneurship program during the spring of 2018 – resulting in increased student numbers and the recruitment of several new faculty members.

Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

|United States, Washington, Columbia Valley
|Quilceda Creek
- wa99
Wine AdvocateI think the wine of the vintage, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Columbia Valley is flat out sensational, and flirts with perfection. Its inky ruby/purple color is followed by incredible notes of cassis, black currants, smoked herbs, licorice and graphite. These give way to a full-bodied, utterly seamless Cabernet that has full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannin and a killer finish. While it possesses the elegance and purity of the vintage, it has a stacked mid-palate, and deserves 4-5 years of cellaring. It will have two decades or more of overall longevity.
- ws94
Wine SpectatorBroad and expressive, layering black cherry, plum, pear and black tea flavors into a beam that focuses the finish against well-managed but present tannins. Has depth, marvelous expression and length. Best from 2018 through 2025. 3,705 cases made.
- we94
Wine EnthusiastThis wine is 100% varietal coming from Champoux, Palengat and Wallula Gap vineyards. The aromas bring plenty of appeal, with notes of incense, spice box and dark fruit that lead to full exquisitely balanced dark fruit flavors that show polish, poise and a lengthy finish.

The one-week fix for bad behaviour according to psychologists
According to parenting experts, there is a indeed a quick fix to your child's bad behaviour. You're more than likely assuming that this tactic involves something to do with mixing up your disciplinary skills or strategies, and–for the most part–you're right. Surprisingly enough, though, the real trick of this strategy is to look inward.

My earliest memories revolve around being read to by my father and playing word games with him. At first it was mostly rhyming games. Later we got into meanings and how meanings can change. I always remember laughing a lot and having loads of fun. When I was in the 6th grade I had an 11th grade 5th month reading score on the IOWA Test of Basic Skills. That was my dad's influence!
I still like to play with words whether it is reading, writing, working crossword puzzles, playing Scrabble, or teaching young children to read I cannot get enough of words.
So it was with great joy, pleasure, and indulgence when a friend recently e-mailed me the following.
This has been circulating on the internets for several years. I do not know who sent it originally. The email said it was from, "The Washington Post's MENSA Invitational." Evidently that is incorrect. According to WPM International it was not sent out by The Washington Post and the author appears to be that Master or Mistress of all Anonymous written pieces in the Universe.
Enough talk. I hope you enjoy this and laugh as hard as I did as you read it.
You are here-by warned. I laughed so hard I got a triple stomach ache half way through the piece.
The Washington Post's Mensa invitational once again asked readers to take
any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing
one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are the 2009 winners:
1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject
financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
2. Ignoranus : A person who's both stupid and an *sshole.
3. Intaxication : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you
realize it was your money to start with.
4. Reintarnation : Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
5. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright
ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign
of breaking down in the near future.
6. Foreploy : Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of
getting laid.
7. Giraffiti : Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
8. Sarchasm : The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person
who doesn't get it.
9. Inoculatte : To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
10. Osteopornosis : A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
11. Karmageddon : It's like, when everybody is sending off all these
really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like,
a serious bummer.
12. Decafalon (n.): The gruelling event of getting through the day
consuming only things that are good for you.
13. Glibido : All talk and no action.
14. Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they
come at you rapidly.
15. Arachnoleptic Fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've
accidentally walked through a spider web.
16. Beelzebug (n.) : Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your
bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
17. Caterpallor ( n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the
fruit you're eating.
The Washington Post has also published the winning submissions to its
yearly contest, in which readers are asked to supply alternate meanings
for common words. And the winners are:
1. Coffee , n. The person upon whom one coughs.
2. Flabbergasted , adj. Appalled by discovering how much weight one has
3. Abdicate , v. To give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.
4. Esplanade , v.. To attempt an explanation while drunk.
5. Willy-nilly , adj. Impotent.
6. Negligent , adj. Absentmindedly answering the door when wearing only a
7. Lymph , v. To walk with a lisp.
8. Gargoyle , n. Olive-flavored mouthwash.
9. Flatulence , n. Emergency vehicle that picks up someone who has been
run over by a steamroller.
10. Balderdash , n. A rapidly receding hairline.
11. Testicle , n. A humorous question on an exam.
12. Rectitude , n. The formal, dignified bearing adopted by proctologists.
13. Pokemon , n.. A Rastafarian proctologist.
14. Oyster , n. A person who sprinkles his conversation with Yiddishisms.
15. Frisbeetarianism , n. The belief that, after death, the soul flies up
onto the roof and gets stuck there.
16. Circumvent , n. An opening in the front of jockey shorts worn by

Featured Recipe Chicken in Tarragon Cream Sauce
I have loved the delicate, sweet licorice flavor of tarragon since I first tasted it. It begs for chicken and a cream sauce.
This is what you will need for 3 people:
Vegetable cooking spray
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 shallot
1 clove garlic
¼ cup chicken broth
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup heavy cream
1tablespoon + 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons of softened butter
2 teaspoons flour
Salt and pepper to taste
Here is what you do:
Salt and pepper the chicken. Slightly flatten the chicken by pounding with a meat mallet or the back of a skillet.
Mince the shallot, press the garlic, and use a cook's scissor to cut the tarragon. [I only used one half of that huge shallot.]
Mix the softened butter with the flour. I often use my fingers to do this. Easier.
This recipe moves a bit fast, so I measure out and line up ingredients so they will all be ready when I need them.
Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat 1 minute.
Add the chicken and cook until cooked through and nicely browned on both sides.
When cooked through and browned remove the chicken and lightly cover with foil to keep warm. Or you could keep warm in the oven.
Lower the heat. Add a bit more spray if necessary.
Add shallots and garlic and cook stirring until tender 2-3 minutes. Love the aroma from cooking with those two ingredients.
Add broth, wine, cream and 1 tablespoon of tarragon. Mix together and heat just to a boil.
Lower the heat. Add the butter-flour mixture a little bit at a time mixing it completely into the sauce each time. I added six times before all was used up.
After all the butter-flour mixture is used up cook another minute or two or until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
Add the chicken, with any accumulated juices, to the skillet and turn several times to coat and warm the chicken up.
Place on a plate and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle some of the remaining tarragon on top.
Serve with a side of rice and a salad.
Bon appétit!!!

Quote of the Day
Words – so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.

Recently I have had the urge to use a few big words in my writing. Words I do not normally use like pantheon, peripatetic, truculent, paucity, exacerbate, etc. Words I would never use in normal conversation. I am sure this desire is because of what I have been reading lately online and in newspapers and magazines. When you see others using these words, you begin to think it's okay for you to use them.
I have resisted. Because I have also been sent to the dictionary several times recently to look up words I encountered whose meanings I did not know! (By "dictionary" I mean Google.) I do not want someone who reads my writing to have to do that. (By "my writing" I mean media releases, pitches, marketing emails, social media posts, blog posts, movie reviews, etc.)
How can I know who will read what I have written? How well educated are the people on my clients' email lists? Will my clients' followers be impressed or confused by a multisyllabic adjective in a Facebook post (especially when a simpler term would have almost the same meaning)? Will the news producer or editor (or intern) who opens newsroom emails know what peripatetic means?
Do you remember sportscaster Howard Cosell? As a lawyer turned broadcaster, Cosell attempted to impress viewers with his vocabulary. Often, his word choices were spot on. Other times, he came off as a pompous ass. Occasionally, after Cosell had pontificated employing his would-be literary style, a broadcast partner such as Don Meredith would put Cosell's flowery prose into simple-to-understand language. It was entertaining stuff.
There are appropriate times and places for these big words. But in most cases, the simpler, more common word will do just as well. I am hoping my urge will not be exacerbated.

Linda Naeun Lee
Welcome to my page! ٩(◕‿◕)۶
I'm Linda, and I lead the UX team at Tor Project Inc. I have a Master's Degree in Computer Security from the University of California Berkeley, where I worked as a researcher in SCRUB (secure computing research for users' benefit) and BLUES (Berkeley laboratory for usable and experimental security). My master's thesis was tested if people could connect to Tor in censored environments.
Contact me at linda [at] torproject [dot] org or message me on IRC @linda.
Tickets I own
|Re-evaluating tor browser's security controls: let's have one place to adjust all per-tab, global, persistent, and per-session security preferences.
Monthly Summaries
September 2017
Starting this month, I'll be reporting on what the UX team did, instead of just what I did. I lead the team, and support all this work, after all. This month, we:
- met in person in NYC and designed torproject.org. (ticket, archive of wireframes)
- agreed on the new design of Tor launcher, and getting the progress bar to behave correctly and have nice icons (launcher design ticket, progress bar behavior ticket, icons ticket)
- finalized the Onion Browser branding survey and started to build the survey application to host the survey ourselves (ticket)
- started to work on a live style guide with all the bootstrap elements stylized in a Tor way (ticket, preview prototype)
- updated the metrics website with new style guidelines (ticket)
- started to building the Tor monthly newsletter (ticket)
August 2017
I finalized the design and copy of Tor launcher (#23261, pdf) and Mark has also built a working prototype of this new design. It will be implemented soon! I also finished three iterations of the Onion Browser branding survey, which aims to quantify how likely they will pick Onion Browser from an app store of browsers that claim to be affiliated with Tor, and what they would find more helpful in signaling the recommendation for Onion Browser and Tor.
July 2017
I gave a talk to PETS 2017 on my paper on usability of Tor Launcher, IA'ed content for torproject.org, and finished redesigning Tor launcher. In addition I started other work, such as: potential changes to the tor browser toolbar to give easier access to security controls, messages and indicators for different states when visiting a .onion site (http + .onion, for instance), and user testing for onionbrowser to validate recent changes to their onboarding sequence.
June 2017
I spent a majority of the month making design changes to the tor blog (#22510,#22392, #22395). I also iterated on the design of tor launcher according to my previous research, and attended Mozilla all-hands to talk about uplifting features, and future UX work. June felt like a productive month, mostly due to the organizational processes in place! This was the first month of weekly ticket triages and team meetings, which gave us a better sense of what is going on in the organization and how to prioritize our work.
May 2017
With Antonela, I made the initial wireframes for all pages and subpages for torproject.org. I also participated in brainstorming next steps for improving Tor launcher. I attended Stockholm Internet Forum, restructured the UX meetings and how UX tasks are tracked in tickets, and brainstorming/getting devices for user testing.
April 2017
I made progress on redesigning the torproject.org website (#22120 and child tickets), attended tor-mobile meetings and gave UX feedback on onboarding screens, and got better at team organization and project management. We now have a regular UX team meeting with agenda, a team roadmap, use tickets to track work, and triage tickets on a regular basis.
Mar 2017
Performed user tests on the mobile security slider, designed the portals for torproject.org, especially the support page, brainstormed improving tor launcher, browser fonts, and security slider for tor browser, attended rightscon and interacted with human rights activists, policymakers, and funders, and designed tor-official images and banners.
Feb 2017
I designed wireframes for the support page and brainstormed ideas for redesigning the home/landing page. My motivation for doing this is to prepare for the SIDA proposal. Other things I did include: fixing up my research paper that got accepted into PETS, organize user testing of the orfox security slider, planned the seattle meeting to talk about grants and future projects, working with Elio to make tor-official images, and reaching out to lots of volunteers.
January 2017
I created a user testing plan and supporting documents for Orfox, provided UI feedback for OONI's web interface before launch, and contracted a designer to start re-making all official tor-images in .svg format. I supported the metrics team in deploying https://metrics.torproject.org, wrote a blog post to coordinate, and handled the blog comments.
December 2016
I finished redesigning the Tor metrics page. I worked with the OONI's contracted UX designer, Adarsh, and designed the web and mobile UI for OONI.
November 2016
I led the efforts to redesign the Tor Metrics page. I also finished writing my research paper on a usability evaluation of Tor Launcher to PETS 2017. And helped hire a contracted UX designer for OONI to design web and mobile UI.
October 2016
I designed Orfox's security slider UI (project page,#20291 ). I also worked on writing up my usability evaluation of Tor Launcher, incorporating feedback from the last round of reviews from PETS 2017 and adding new methodology, inspection, and design sections.

Thematic Sequence FAQ
The LUX 3 European Culture and Society Thematic Sequence permits students to draw on the variety of European-focused courses available at MUDEC to develop an in-depth understanding of the complexities of contemporary Europe. Emphasis is on an interdisciplinary perspective which links cultural phenomena and socio-political dynamics.
Can I take and complete a Thematic Sequence in Luxembourg?
Yes, but you must take the whole sequence in Luxembourg, not some courses in Luxembourg and some courses in Oxford.
Can I take a course in my major as part of the Thematic Sequence?
Yes, but only in Luxembourg. Because the thematic sequence offered in Luxembourg is European focused, on-site specific and significantly different from those on the Oxford campus, it has this special feature: one course (and only one) from the department of your major may be included in the thematic sequence. Similarly, business majors may take only one course from the Farmer School of Business to receive credit for the thematic sequence.
Must I take a Thematic Sequence in Luxembourg?
No. Students from partner universities do not need a thematic sequence, and MU students may not need to take a thematic sequence (students with a double major in two different academic departments and students with minors do not need a thematic sequence).
Can I take more than one Miami Foundation Plan course in a Luxembourg Thematic Sequence?
Yes; however, only one Foundation course in a Luxembourg Thematic Sequence counts towards your Miami Plan foundation requirements. In cases where sequences involve two or more Foundation courses, only one course may be at the 100-level. The other two courses in the Luxembourg Thematic Sequence must be at the 200-level or above. Always consult with your Academic Advisor for further questions.
How do I ensure that I receive a LUX thematic sequence?
Complete the Change of Major, Minor, Thematic Sequence form (yellow half sheet) and submit to the Study Abroad Office, 214 MacMillan Hall. The form will be signed and forwarded to the Oxford Registrar's Office. Soon thereafter you can expect to see the thematic sequence information on your DAR.
