Now is the time to SUPPORT CVNC.org
Frederick Moyer, grandson of pianist David Moyer and Paul Green (and cousin of cellist Nancy Green) must have started his career as a toddler, for he's been at it, full time, for over 20 years, but he still looks young. (It's all relative, as someone recently reminded me!) He escapes from New Hampshire to visit North Carolina from time to time, often turning up in unexpected places like retirement communities. His latest visit to the Tar Heel State included an impressive recital at the Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities, in Southern Pines. The venue, which has been visited often by our colleague William Thomas Walker, suggests a scaled-down Smedes Parlor or a scaled-up Horace Williams House. Folding chairs provide seating for around 90 people. A medium-sized Yamaha piano is positioned along one of the long walls, ensuring that no member of the audience is more than 20 feet from the artist. The place was packed on the evening of April 13 for a program that turned the conventional, formulaic approach to recital building on its head.
Moyer began with short selections, starting with Rachmaninoff's arrangement of the Prelude to Bach's E Major Partita, originally for solo violin. We've recently written about Arthur Loesser's Bach, and Moyer's was dazzling, although part of the dazzle was Rachmaninoff's doing. Old Stone face would probably not have been pleased to have this selection followed by his own C-Sharp Minor Prelude ("The Prelude"), but he would surely not have objected to the way Moyer played it. The artist bridged this to four excerpts from Arensky's Morceaux characteristiques, Op. 36, comparably dazzling showpieces by Rachmaninoff's teacher that Moyer will record, complete, later this year-the recording, a premiere, will surely wind up on many must-have lists. It wasn't much of a stretch from the Prelude, full of anticipation, the sparkling Intermezzo, the elegant "Russian in the Forest," with its swirling figures that may illustrate wind-blown snow, and its depiction of a whirling top (which elicited oohs and aahs from the audience), to the music of Donal Fox, who is presently creating a series of pieces for Moyer. The composer is sometimes branded as a crossover artist, but he's an important teacher (among whose students is Duke composer Anthony Kelley) and his readily accessible music is as demanding, technically, as Rachmaninoff's. His deconstruction of Bach's E Major Toccata, "Toccata on Bach," was described by the guest pianist as "Bach on Drugs," and that handle fit it admirably.
We raved about Moyer's recent Chopin CD (the review is in our CD Archives), so it was a delight to hear him play the Third Ballade in the flesh. He made the dramatic piece seem easy, which is no mean trick, and he prefaced it with a fascinating tale about its purported story-line, conveyed to him by Grandpa Moyer, who got it directly from Busoni, with whom he'd worked, in pre-WWI Berlin.
The second half of the program began with Beethoven's "Pathetique" Sonata, fare more often encountered earlier in recital programs. Moyer's Beethoven is as impressive as the Romantic and modern music he plays, although the voicing of the Weymouth instrument, somewhat problematical throughout the program, made this Sonata sound a bit more brittle than it should. (Earlier, Moyer had disappeared from view while he adjusted a balky pedal-it wasn't the first time we've seen him perform surgery on pianos he's played in North Carolina!)
The grand finale was a complete performance of the solo piano version of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Moyer noted that the transcription may not have been the composer's own-we have the score, too, and have wondered about a few uncharacteristically knotty sections-but his performance, which he said involved some slight retouching, was brilliant, so to whomever did it, we must be grateful, indeed. The encore was Myra Hess' transcription of Bach's cantata setting of the chorale, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring."
In the Gershwin and elsewhere in the program it was apparent that Moyer possesses rock solid technique of the most virtuosic persuasion that he uses to project his well-considered interpretations with the utmost precision and clarity.
Moyer will return to the Weymouth Center next fall for a gala concert, details of which will appear in our calendar in due course. He's worth going out of the way to hear, for he's unquestionably one of our leading artists. Weymouth is a comfortable drive from the Triangle, and the house and grounds are lovely. We urge our readers to monitor concert presentations there and sample them.

Somebody please tell me what in the hell is in the water in England these days that's making people insane? I've recently highlighted the push for Sharia Law in the UK by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Chief Justice, and there's just no explaining the fascination the English seem to have as of late with giving up being English and catering to the wants of every ethnic minority that refuses to assimilate into British society.
A recent poll for the Centre for Social Cohesion found that two in five Muslims in British universities support the idea of Islamic Sharia codes being enshrined in British law and almost one third of British Muslim students think it is acceptable to kill in the name of Islam. A third of Muslim students interviewed also supported the creation of a world-wide caliphate or Islamic state.
In further British lunacy, there's been a huge furor over a version of a Barbie doll that's being released in September to promote a DC Comics superhero named Black Canary. She hangs out with Green Arrow. The dolls will come equipped with fishnets, leather jacket, black gloves and boots. As if the Brits can't come up with something legitimate to protest, such as the low approval rating of the Prime Minister and all the violent crime I keep reading about, they instead complain about commemorative edition Barbie.
One religious group, the Christian Voice said, "Barbie has always been on the tarty side and this is taking it too far. A children's doll in sexually suggestive clothing is irresponsible – it's filth." It's a fuckin' doll, people. I guess you'd rather see Barbie in a burka and Ken wearing a kaffiyeh?
And then you have poor Gary Crutchley. When Gary started taking pictures of his children playing on an inflatable slide he thought they would be happy reminders of a family day out. However, as he was taking snapshots of his kids Cory and Miles, the woman running the slide at asked him what he was doing and other families waiting in line demanded that he stop. One cow even accused him of photographing kids to put the pictures on the internet, insinuating he was a pedophile.
Mr. Crutchley, 39, who had taken pictures only of his own children, was so enraged that he went and found two policemen, who confirmed he had done nothing wrong.
Crutchley said, 'What is the world coming to when anybody seen with a camera is assumed to be doing things that they should not? This parental paranoia is getting completely out of hand. I was so shocked. One of the police officers told me that it was just the way society is these days. He agreed with me that it was madness.The children wanted to go on an inflatable slide and I started taking photos of them having a good time. Moments later the woman running the slide told me to stop."
"When I asked why, she told me I could not take pictures of other people's children. I explained I was only interested in taking photos of my own children and pointed out that this was taking place in a public park. I showed her the photos I had taken to prove my point. Then another woman joined in and said her child was also on the slide and did not want me taking pictures of the youngster. I repeated that the only people being photographed were my own children. She said I could be taking pictures of just any child to put on the internet and called me a pervert. We immediately left…"
Crutchley's wife Tracey said "I was shocked by the reaction of those women. It is very sad when every man with a camera enjoying a Sunday afternoon out in the park with his children is automatically assumed to be a pervert."
So we have complaints over a tarty Barbie doll and accusations of perversion for taking pictures in a park. This uptight behavior from a nation that features topless women on page three of the Sun tabloid newspaper…think National Enquirer meets USA Today. In fact, I think the tits may be the biggest selling point of the paper.
Quit being so prudish and puritanical and paranoid and focus more on the true threat looming within…if you can bloody well turn off watching Big Brother for five minutes.

It would be a very helpful feature if I can define a result file for all internal variables. This way it would be very easy to analyse results of different co-simulation partners (e.g. Activate, MotionSolve, DSHplus) in HyperGraph. Do see a chance to realize it within a next release?

As someone who used to love to journal, I've completely fallen out of love with it. I used to crave the feeling of putting pen to paper. It was the first thing I'd do when I woke up; it gave me a sense of accomplishment to see a notebook full of my thoughts, feelings and ideas. I stopped writing around the time my mother passed away. I couldn't journal anything I was feeling because it was all too intense for me. I tried a few times but things just haven't been the same since she passed. But, I'm happy to report, the urge to journal and write has slowly started to come back.
While scrolling through Twitter, I saw someone I follow (@danicaexplains) post about a "Write With Danica 30-Day Writing Challenge" she created. I read the post along with the first prompt and decided it was perfect to get back into writing/journaling. Her blog (which I encourage you to check out here) has all the details about the challenge.
Prompt 001 —
Write a "dedication," or about the concept. Write about something you're dedicated to, someone you're dedicated to, or someone dedicated to you. Use it as inspiration to create your own book dedication page for when you eventually publish.
Thinking about this prompt was really cool to me. I've never thought about writing a dedication before so I had fun with this. I'm a long-winded person so I knew it wasn't going to be just one or two lines, but it's my writing; I do want I want. So if I were to publish a book today, this would be my dedication:
To my incredibly strong family and friends. To my grandpa, who taught me how to have compassion without limits. To my nana, who is my closest confidant. To my twin, whose unwavering love and encouragement means everything to me. And lastly, to the woman who was and always will be my number one supporter, my mom.
Thank you, I love you all.

(Translated from OSEN) The topic on who will be the female lead for SBS drama "My Girlfriend is Nine-Tailed Fox" (Scriptwriters: Hong Jung Eun & Hong Mi Ran, Production company: Origin Factory "본팩토리"), who will work along together with the male lead, Lee Seung Gi, is getting heated concerns.
The rep of production company, Origin Factory, Moon Suk Hwan said, " We are still in the midst of looking for an actress who will act alongside with the male lead Lee Seung Gi." "The discussions on the actresses circulating around are just rumours and we have already been keeping in contact with a top actress." "It will be concluded sooner or later."
In particular, on the filming news coming out that 2NE1's member Sandara Park and Shin Se Kyung are widely discussed as the female lead, he emphasis again saying, "We do not have any thoughts on deciding of any of them."
"My Girlfriend is Nine-Tailed Fox" is scheduled to broadcast as Wednesday-Thursday drama around end of August. It will take over drama "I am Legend" who will air after "Prosceutor Princess" ends.

Don Deo Brewing Company is Edgewater's new place for beer and bites.
The brewpub, which quietly opened in December in the former Bin No. 18 space, is run by Eloy Verardi and his family. Born and raised in Venezuela, Verardi got into beer while attending college in Colombia. He began brewing at home and has translated that hobby into a business with Don Deo.
Named after Verardi's grandfather, Deogracia, Don Deo will eventually produce its own beer after the proper permits are secured. The nanobrewery will offer signature recipes such as a honey oak wheat ale fermented with oak chips; the La Verona porter, containing chocolate, coffee, and pistachio notes; and a hoppy, citrusy IPA.
In the meantime, the brewpub offers 20 beers on tap and a selection of cans and bottles that can be consumed at the pub or taken to-go. Local breweries represented include Wynwood Brewing and MIA Beer Co., and most beers cost $7 to $10. In addition, a selection of wines, prosecco, champagne, and ciders is available. Wines start at $6 per glass.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Don Deo also offers a full food menu featuring Argentine-influenced dishes by chef Gabriel Salguero. The former Bin No. 18 chef grills items such as Angus beef or lamb sliders with yuca fries ($15) and a chimichurri steak sandwich ($10).
The brewpub also offers happy-hour deals such as $6 glasses of prosecco Monday through Friday until 7 p.m. and half-priced prosecco Tuesday. On Monday and Thursday, artisan cheese and charcuterie boards are half-priced, and on Saturday until 7 p.m. and all day Sunday, mix and match five bottles or cans of beer for $25.
To Verandi and his family, Don Deo is more than a brewpub — it's the American dream. He and his family own and operate the beer-centric restaurant after having come to this country to immerse themselves in the culture of Miami and, ultimately, live a better life. Asked about advice to similar entrepreneurs who want to open shop in a new country, Verandi simply says, "Perseverance is always your best option."
Don Deo Brewing Company. 275 NE 18th St., Miami; 305-998-8512; facebook.com/dondeobrewingco. Monday 4:30 to 10:30 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday 3 to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday 3 to 1 a.m., Sunday noon to 7 p.m.

Black History Month is almost over. But, that does not mean that you should stop educating yourself, or making a conscious effort to dive into Black art, history, music, books, podcasts and more. It seems as though BHM has come to the forefront in the past few years and taken a leap into mainstream media. Snapchat has featured BHM filters, Lyft is offering free rides to black history museums and more, even stores as big as Target have produced clothing that celebrates BHM. Whatever way you choose to celebrate our Black heroes make sure you do so with pride. I chose to honor some of my favorite writers and leaders by compiling a short list of my favorite quotes from them!
While some of the names may be a little lesser known, their messages are powerful! They are timeless, and speak to not only our ancestors but can be applied and used as motivation for today.
" Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."
-Harriet Tubman
"I'm rooting for everybody Black"
-Issa Rae
"When they go low, we go high"
-Michelle Obama
"Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try."
-Nikki Giovanni
"You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down"
-Toni Morrison
"Have a vision, be demanding"
-Colin Powell
"Just don't give up what you're trying to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong."
– Ella Fitzgerald
"Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness."
– Oprah Winfrey
"There's always something to suggest that you'll never be who you wanted to be. Your choice is to take it or keep on moving."
– Phylicia Rashad
The secret of life is to have no fear; it's the only way to function.
– Stokely Carmichael

2018 Taylor K26ce Florentine Cutaway w/case
Hawaiian koa's captivating beauty is matched by a tone that blossoms over time, especially in the midrange. Its voice is bright and focused, with warm overtones that slowly emerge, adding sweetness and depth. Premium all-wood appointments, led by the Spring Vine fretboard inlay, celebrate the wood's natural appeal.
A Florentine cutaway comes to a sharp point, creating a horn-like shape. It is more complex and labor-intensive than the Venetian.

FEBRUARY 8, 2018 – Come July, when Rabbi Marc Baker takes the helm at the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston after leading Gann Academy, he'll be trading in a sea of student backpacks, lacrosse sticks, and musical instruments for the more corporate atmosphere at the federation's headquarters in downtown Boston.
The lively scene of teenage chatter and high energy that pulses through the halls and classrooms of Gann, a pioneering, pluralistic Jewish high school in Waltham, has been a source of joy for Baker for the last 11 years.
"That is probably what I will miss the most," Baker told the Journal. "I have had the sacred privilege of bearing witness to the birth of [students'] souls every day. That is the blessing of being a high school educator."
But without missing a beat, the 42-year-old Baker added that while he'll miss the teens at Gann, he's eager to join forces with the "engaging and dynamic" folks at CJP, where he serves as scholar-in-residence.
He will succeed Barry Shrage, who is retiring as head of the CJP after three decades marked by raising more than $1 billion for the local Jewish community.
Baker, a graduate of Yale, was ordained as a rabbi at the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem. He and his wife, Jill, live in Brookline, where they are raising four children, including one who is a student at Gann.
For Baker, who grew up in Lynnfield, Jewish community was the family business. His father, Steve, who died 2 ½ years ago, served as president of both the North Shore Jewish Federation and the North Suburban Jewish Community Center, which he helped found. Marc Baker attended Camp Bauercrest during summers, a Jewish sports camp for boys in Amesbury, and the family belonged to Temple Ner Tamid in Peabody.
Baker's mother, Shelley, was the other half of the dynamic husband-wife team that took part in the Jewish community's many organizations and activities. "They were inseparable," Marc said. "They modeled for me what it is to be part of a community, to be committed, to step up as leaders."
In his new role at CJP, Baker will draw on his two decades of experience as an educator. "First and foremost, my life is dedicated to helping our next generation find meaning and purpose in Jewish life and Jewish learning," he said.
He has honed his skills in building community out of diversity, he said. At Gann, this comes to life in the Shabbat experience, where students come together with peers who have different religious practices and attitudes about what it means to be Jewish.
"In that process, they come to understand themselves more deeply and have to find ways to build community with people who are different from themselves," Baker said.
The missions of Gann and CJP are well aligned, as both seek to create a vibrant Jewish community and, at the same time, build a better world, Baker observed.
Off the bat, Baker anticipates spending time listening, learning, and building relationships with CJP staff, leaders, volunteers, and those associated with the wide array of CJP's partner organizations. He also will seek opportunities to engage with those not yet connected with CJP. He will also take a deep dive into CJP's strategic plan to develop goals for the future.
While the size of Gann's annual budget is much smaller than CJP's $64 million, he's confident that the fund-raising success Gann has achieved under his leadership will serve as a guidepost. As head of school, he helped secure a $12.5 million donation that eliminated the school's debt and recently raised over $6 million for the school's Campaign for Gann.
"I have learned over the years that … development is about an inspiring vision and about mobilizing people around a compelling picture of where we are headed," Baker said. "I look forward to working with the leadership of the community to clarify that vision and to fire people up about what is possible."
His kids have been excited to see him embark on a new challenge, Baker observed. "I have been inspired by how encouraging they have been."
Reflecting back, Baker said that in a way, he has come full circle to the Jewish leadership model set by his parents. "There is something special about this, the opportunity to serve the community you grew up with, while at the same time broadening and strengthening it. It's an incredible blessing."

Unravelling Capitalism: A Return to Marx
Posted by Bill, May 20th, 2009 - under Labour theory of value, Marxism, Surplus value, Workers, Working class.
Tags: Accumulation, Capitalism, Great Recession
Joseph Choonara talked to the British paper Socialist Worker about his new book Unravelling Capitalism and the renewed interest in Marxist economic ideas
'Since the first signs of the current crisis began to emerge in 2007 there has been growing interest in Karl Marx's greatest work, Capital, especially in universities.
Many people are struggling to get to grips with how the capitalist system functions and how it malfunctions.
The reason for the sudden swell in interest is clear – world markets are going badly wrong and mainstream economists cannot explain what is happening.
This comes on top of a longer-term revival of Marxism which stretches back to the emergence of the anti-capitalist movement in the late 1990s.
There is a large audience of people who are interested in something that goes beyond the ABC of Marx's ideas and who already feel that mainstream economics is inadequate.
People want something that explains some of the more advanced concepts that Marx develops in the three volumes of Capital, including subjects that are particularly relevant at the moment such as the analysis of finance and economic crisis.
The first section of my book explains the labour theory of value, which is Marx's starting point. He argues that commodities have value, not because of the genius of the entrepreneur, but because they are produced by labour. Already this is a revolutionary idea.
But Marx goes further by showing that labour power itself becomes a special type of commodity under capitalism.
This labour power creates new value, but when capitalists purchase labour power they only have to hand over enough value, in the form of the wage, to the worker to get them back in work the next day.
Surplus value is the name given to the gap between the new value workers create and the amount they receive.
The existence of surplus value, the source of profit, shows that there is exploitation taking place.
This is one of the fundamental points that Marx makes in the first volume of Capital – that profit is the result of exploiting "living labour", workers involved in capitalist enterprises.
The second part of the book is about the dynamic of the system. Capitalists don't just exploit workers. They are also locked into competition with each other.
They compete by taking the surplus value they pump out of workers and investing in "dead labour" – machinery and equipment produced by workers in the past, as opposed to the living labour of the workers they employ. Marx called this process accumulation.
The printing press my book was produced on probably cost about
£2 million and could be operated by a single printer. Thirty years ago it would have been produced on a press costing £250,000, operated by three or four workers.
This type of accumulation has two effects. On the one hand, the new printing press is vastly more productive – it can produce books at a much faster rate.
So the value of each book produced on the press falls because there is less labour time embodied in it. Capitalists who invest like this in new machinery can compete by lowering their prices.
That's why the drive to exploit and accumulate is endless – any capitalist who refused to exploit workers sufficiently and accumulate would soon be left behind in the battle of competition. This makes capitalism the most dynamic system.
On the other hand, accumulation also makes capitalism a chaotic, destructive and crisis-prone system.
For instance, as accumulation proceeds capitalists now find they are investing in ever-greater amounts of dead labour, without a similar expansion of living labour.
That means their investment rises faster than their profits. In other words, the return on their investment, or the rate of profit, tends to fall.
That's a problem because the rate of profit in turn governs how fast accumulation can take place.
People often say, "That's all very well, but Marx was writing a century and a half ago, surely the system has changed." And they're right.
Marxism isn't a fixed dogma that we can just endlessly repeat. We have to understand how capitalism changes as it ages.
In the third section of my book I briefly explore the history of the system. For instance, Marx points out that as capitalism ages, enterprises tend to get bigger as they accumulate and merge with each other in each wave of crisis.
That changes the nature of the system. Marx sees crisis as a process of creative destruction that can, for a while, restore capitalism to some kind of health.
But as the enterprises that make up the system grow, the prospect of the failure of giant multinationals poses too great a danger to the system.
You only have to think of the chaos caused by the collapse of Lehman Brothers last year, or the debate in the US Congress about the potential collapse of Ford, Chrysler or General Motors.
States tend to intervene to stop these firms going under. But this means that the problems associated with the system can continue to build up over time.
In other ways the system has changed less dramatically that people sometimes suggest. Most workers in Britain are employed by enterprises with more than 250 employees and in the US by those with more than 500 employees.
These figures have been rising in recent years. Some of these will still be in manufacturing.
The workforce in some industries has been reduced, sometimes because the work has shifted elsewhere, but more generally because automation means that fewer workers are required.
One of the insanities of capitalism is that introducing new machinery tends to mean that a group of workers are cast onto the scrapheap rather than making people's lives easier by reducing the time they have to work.
But the smaller number workers who remain in a particular industry can end up with massive power in their hands.
For instance a 2008 strike by Boeing machinists concentrated at one plant cost the multinational $100 million a day and impacted on companies as far away as France and Japan.
There has also been a growth of the workforce in other sectors. For instance, there are more service workers in Britain. But many of these are producing commodities for the market and profits for the bosses.
Marx didn't see the distinction between manufacturing and services as particularly fundamental. It doesn't matter if you're assembling cars for Ford or assembling burgers for Burger King.
Even those who don't directly generate profit – such as transport, health or education workers in the public sector – are today essential to the system as a whole.
That means that they have enormous power, as we see each time the tube workers in London go on strike.
Marx's ideas are key to understanding the current economic meltdown. Mainstream economists concentrate on the financial aspects of the crisis.
Marx was interested in, and wrote extensively on, finance but he saw it as connected to wider economic processes in what is known as the "real economy".
Starting from a Marxist perspective would mean looking at the long-term dynamic of the system.
For three decades after the war the economy boomed, but in 1973 there was a return to recession. Profits plummeted and while there have been periods of growth and even boom, profits never returned to the heights of the post-war period.
Capitalists launched an offensive against workers, squeezing them harder and holding down their wages.
At the same time capitalists and states looked for other places to invest, outside the rather unprofitable "real economy".
This meant lending money to workers in countries such as the US and Britain, allowing them to consume even though their wages were being kept low. And it meant creating a series of speculative bubbles that gave the impression of profitability.
That's why the crisis is systemic – it reflects wider, unresolved problems in the economy, not just a problem with the banking system or stock markets.
Marxism gives the broad trajectory of the system but it can't predict every twist and turn. The current crisis is extremely serious and the potential consequences are enormous.
But there can be some recovery, even if only temporary, like there was in the US from 1933 to 1937.
And there can be stagnation rather than collapse, as happened in Japan for much of the 1990s.
It's always tempting to make detailed, usually dire, predictions or to get sucked into the superficial world of the financial pages which vacillate wildly between blind optimism and panic.
The important thing is to recognise that the crisis creates fractures at the top of society, creating space for struggle at the bottom to break through.
Socialists have to seize on instances of workers fighting back and build and generalise these examples. At the same time we have to spell out the insanity of this system and the need for an alternative.'

Ageing is unavoidable and really, we shouldn't be trying to avoid it. More and more women claim to feel most beautiful at 40+, which is great news. It is also true that nobody really cares how old anyone is anymore. People are starting to look ageless, anyway. So why does it still leave a little pang when someone guesses your age to be 45 when it's really 32? It could be your makeup.
Ditch the powder
It could be that you're wearing too much powder. Although nobody wants to look greasy, a completely matte complexion can leave you looking flat and tired. A dewy, healthy complexion is what you're looking for – skin that looks alive. Apply powder only strategically: around the nose area and going up the bridge of the nose. A tiny bit on the chin and forehead. Use blotting papers as your first option and powder if you must.
Ditch the glitter
Especially if you notice fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, glitter will be unforgiving. Nowadays, you can get great eye-shadows with a slight glow instead of glitter or shimmer. Cream eye shadows (instead of powder), for example, have the healthy glow effect.
Easy on the liner
Black kohl can be very attractive and sexy. It can also make you look like an older version of yourself. If you're going for the opposite effect, only line the top lid and keep your bottom lid clean (maybe a liner the same shade as your skin tone rather than black, if you insist). Pile on the mascara to open the eyes and pop on a bright lipstick. Keep the skin well moisturized and bare (looking).
Be strategic with the blush
Blush can look very unnatural very quickly. Rather go for a bronzer to define the cheek a bit, but avoid any fruity colours if you know fully well that your cheeks have never in their existence turned a fruity colour.

How property managers gauge local employment conditions in areas where they rent out distressed properties will be one of the key determinations to future risk ratings on the securitized cash flow, according to Fitch Ratings.
"While many of the more notable states, such as California, Florida, Arizona, and Nevada, have a significant volume of distressed and REO inventory, investment decisions are more driven by local employment conditions and neighborhood desirability," according to a report released by the credit ratings firm Tuesday.
Estimates on the shadow inventory of homes on the verge of foreclosure vary between 1.5 million and 5.65 million, depending on the severity of the delinquency. Fitch analysts said there are roughly 2.4 million homes backing mortgages 60 days or more delinquent or already in REO.
Renting out these properties could narrow the inventory gap and gives already recovering house prices a boost. A Federal Housing Finance Agency rental program received a lot investor demand. Fitch said it received "numerous inquiries" on the potential to securitize the cash flow from these properties and sell the bonds to investors.
Fitch will also take into consideration historical data on a rental market, including vacancy rates and the operating history of a property management firm. Most of these companies do not have a proven track record of operating well during a down cycle, the ratings agency said.
"This concern is further heightened by ambitious growth strategies by regional operators looking to expand their portfolios rapidly over the near term, which will make it unlikely that Fitch will consider high investment-grade ratings for initial (single-family rental) transactions," Fitch said.
There remain other hurdles. Morningstar Credit Ratings recently said it would be very difficult predicting REO timelines, which can vary greatly even within states.
Still, the private-label mortgage bond market continues to remain dormant aside from a handful of deals pieced together since the crisis. Fitch said previous investors in these securities are becoming more interested in financing single-family rental properties.
"Investors, lenders, and government agencies have initiated or are in the process of developing an institutional single-family rental market," according to the Fitch report.

How To Improve Your Appearance With Fashion Tips
Do you think fashion is not for you? Are you someone who has always tried to better your appearance to show people you have a good fashion sense? If so, you have found the information you need to look and feel great.
Sheer clothes can add a lot of sex appeal to your look, just ensure that you are comfortable wearing these clothes. You want to ensure that you are fitting an image that is proper for the environment that you are in, so be conscious of what you wear.
White and black are always popular colors that you will want to wear. Some of the most popular designers are using this color combination in their clothing lines. You can easily incorporate the colors into your outfits, such as pairing a white shirt with black pants or wearing a black and white dress. There are nearly endless combinations you can wear with this combination.
Find your own style and flaunt it. Too many people are like mice to the pied piper when it comes to following fashion. It is up to individuals sometimes to create a style that people can appreciate and that others will follow.
If you have frizzy hair, avoid rubbing it to dry with a towel. You will just damage your hair and make it frizz more when you do this. You are just going to want to cover it with a towel and push down to get moisture off. When your hair is no longer sopping wet, untangle the knots using a comb.
Perfection is almost impossible with a subject like fashion. Fashion is a very subjective topic, so there is no right and wrong. When you strive for perfection, you'll only end up disappointed. Many classic looks are based on a simple flaw, like messy hair, or something slightly askew.
Use every bit of your favorite beauty products before discarding them. If the product is in a tube, you can use the squeezers that were made to use up toothpaste. When the product is contained in a bottle, let it sit on its lid over night so you can get everything to the bottom. You can also take the the tops off when it reaches the end. When you're frugal, you'll want to get the most out of everything you buy.
Clean out your closet. While you may think having more clothes means you have more options, this is not the truth. A cramped, overflowing closet makes it more difficult to choose outfits. Sift through your clothes and throw out anything that does not fit and/or you have not worn recently. Keep items that can coordinate with a variety of other pieces or ones that can work for various venues.
Fashion is typically viewed as being about clothing. Your hair can easily ruin an outfit if it's not looking its best. You need to invest in proper hair care products and put plenty of time into your hair style to get the look that perfectly complements your daily style.
As mentioned earlier, you probably feel that fashion is a passion of yours. That means that you want to be confident and even proud when you show others your wardrobe. This article teaches you everything you need to look your best.…

A weekend of 2 halves
On the one side, I was resting a migraine. On the other, my main man Myles' 4th birthday party!!! Saturday saw me catch up with all my series' since moving was vetoed. Sunday saw my first (by car) visit to Lidl, followed by a 4-year-olds birthday party! I couldn't find everything I had to get […]Read more
A week of migraines (I know how to live)
This past week's vertigo migraine was likely born of excess because I haven't noticed any stress around. A little party here — one over there — it's no stretch to see how a miserable migraine won't like it. Perish the thought of having fun. Sickness and underwater vision. Dizziness on a tightrope. It's such a worthy […]Read more
A weekend after a week of near-misses
Okay, there were only 2, and they both happened last Monday, but they resonated.Read more
A weekend to drink
It was Nadine's birthday bash this weekend — destination, Southampton! Because Shaun has, in his own words, 'ferried my fat arse around for fifteen years', it was my turn to drive. It's fortunate, therefore, that I can. After an uneventful journey, and some confusion with a parking meter, we got to Nadine's and I got […]Read more
Trains, boats, and buses — a public transport adventure
Somewhat been a plan of mine for a good year, today I took my little man Myles on a grand public transport adventure! Our route was circular because I like circles, and we hit up all the classics. A train to Portsmouth Harbour A ferry to Gosport A bus to Fareham A train back home For […]Read more
A tale that's taken all day to write
Last night, whilst lying in bed feeling sorry for myself because my nose hurts and I don't want to blow it any more The thought hit me like a truck I didn't stick Bertie's wing mirrors in! I know how to do it now — it just takes that bit more force than I was […]Read more
A weekend before a streaming nose
I woke up this morning with my brain streaming from my nose. It has to be my brain because my sinuses can't possibly produce this amount of snot. (Current peak at a whole bog roll per 2 hours.) Also, I feel dumber – my brain is like soup dribbling out of my nostrils. Had I […]Read more
Bertie's first (with me) MOT
I'm feeling all grown up, doing grown up things like taking the car to get its MOT. I was a little nervous because I've heard about other people's failed MOTs, and I had to kill an hour waiting. But as I suspected, Bertie is in fine fighting form! He has been given 2 advisories – […]Read more

A contactless current account card — something everyone has but me
Never had one. My cousin has lent me hers to use on the tube and I didn't know what to do with it. I found it very niffty how you just tap and walk away. It's made me want one. I see all these people saving their seconds and here I am having to find […]Read more
This bloody fool has only gone and got himself some vertigo migraine
I was sorting out a job in work, looking between paperwork, so looking down, and I was looking down for far too long. When I looked up again, the floor followed. The floor's been following me and walls have been hugging me ever since lunch. No nausea, though, YAY!!! — well, a slight twinge but […]Read more
A weekend in Portsmouth
How last weekend saw nuptials and migraines, this weekend didn't. There were no weddings to attend, no vertigo to steady — instead, allotment-working and paddle boarding. And how last weekend seemed to linger around, this weekend vanished — it's my one complaint. Saturday saw me start the morning feeding a parrot. Charlie the parrot. She's very […]Read more
A weekend for a wedding
Torquay, again. This time for Tanya's wedding. These past 4 weekends have seen me driving to and from Cornwall, Torquay (twice now), and having a migraine. The migraine weekend was meant to see me in Cornwall but the migraine made me housebound. With all these long journeys behind me and the one ahead, and with […]Read more
I'm soooo tired but I've got so much to do! 😫😴
I'm proper sleepy tired. I'm at that level of tired where I could just cry because I'm that tired. I'm not going to because I've got stuff to do. Shitloads. I had like an hour last night, 2 and a half, absolute max. Just lying there a bit riled up, nose disjointed, and in regular […]Read more
A long weekend that wasn't the planned bank holiday
With this bank holiday being the arsehole of a migraine, my plans had to change because arseholes are fussy about what's in them. Originally, it was Friday and Saturday in Cornwall for Kaytes birthday followed by lad-time with Myles and Shaun. Revised, the furthest I drove was a lonesome mile followed by jack shit. To […]Read more
Migraine 😒
I'm sat here with another migraine. You people are jealous. My eyesight's funny, tummy ain't happy, and I feel heavy. Top heavy. Very unstable. This one's been in the making for 2 weeks. Since the last outburst, I've been mildly migrainous every day and I'm not stupid, I can read the signs. I can't do […]Read more

Plyometric Box Training
Are you ready to jump into our new equipment blogs? At EZIA we offer a wide variety of equipment for all of our clients. We offer several plyometric boxes that come in all different sizes. Each box can be used for multiple exercises that target all areas of the body. Targeting muscles to exert maximum force in short intervals of time is the purpose of using plyo boxes. As a result, this helps the client increase power and explosiveness. Therefore the possibilities are endless with the plyo boxes. Any fitness level is capable of working with plyo boxes!
What are the Plyometrics?
Plyometrics or plyos are terms used for jump training. Jump training exercises are important for enhancing power in the lower and upper body. Because of this, they teach clients explosiveness movements and control of the body. We at EZIA encourage all clients to try jump training in their sessions, even if they start with a step up.
Who can use the plyo boxes?
We like to encourage all of our clients to try our plyo boxes. At EZIA many of our athletes who work on sport specific training. Because athletes love using plyo boxes to help improve their game. The trainers at EZIA push our athletes to train with plyo boxes to prepare for football, track and field, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, and many other sports. Football is a great sport to apply ploy boxes too, many times these athletes need to jump in the air to catch a ball and land on their feet. Because the football player can be more explosive in the vertical jump, they can now absorb more shock when landing. Overall the polymeric jump training is very important for athletes who have any jumping kind of motion in their sports.
What if I've never used plyo boxes?
For any beginners or clients at different fitness level can work on many different exercises with polymeric training. The exercises include on box jumps, single leg step ups, squats, and all kinds of another exercise with the plyo boxes. Please stop on by and jump your very own training session to try our plyo boxes! Come over to take a tour and see what other exciting equipment we have to offer. We are now open and accepting applications at our Amelia Drive location. Contact Us today to schedule an appointment.

Guardian Angel Books
The belief in some form of guardian angel can be traced back through antiquity. The guardian angel's role remains to guide us and protect us, and to steer us towards good thoughts and good deeds.
Guardian angel books will often feature an angel-type character, or a character merely intended to guide someone in the right direction. Sometimes such stories and short works of literature contain morals to help readers remember lessons and virtues which can then be carried through into everyday life and practiced.A series of guardian angel books have been written by Wendy to help bring comfort and entertainment to children. Gary's Guardian Angel series is written for children, and each book is its own story about an angel called Clarence. Every story incorporates a moral into its theme to help young readers appreciate their actions and the affect their actions might have on others. These guardian angel books are also suitable for any child who may be suffering from bereavement or an illness, as they entertain, amuse, and bring comfort to the young reader. With quirky characters, colourful illustrations, moralising themes and fun, these books are ideal for young children.
