"Snowtown:Live" is an unique work created by composer Jed Kurzel. Developed in collaboration with the Krakow based Unsound, it was premiered to great acclaim at Adelaide Festival in 2014. The work is derived from his original score for the motion picture "Snowtown," directed by Australian film-maker Justin Kurzel. The film tells the story of a series of infamous murders that took place in South Australia in the 1990s, mostly in the under-privileged suburbs of Adelaide. The trial was one of the longest and most publicised in Australian history and the subsequent revelations shook and horrified the whole country.
Marcel Weber (MFO) draws on unseen footage shot during production of "Snowtown", which has been provided by warp films, allowing the score to rise to the surface, with the story of the murders buried amongst music and imagery.
"Music that articulates images, images that articulate music – this is the essence of a good soundtrack. In this format, Snowtown: Live allows its audience to immerse themselves in the visceral, pure, artistic elements of image and sound." – Zoe Barron, ArtsHub
"The most powerful metaphor, however, is an outtake too subjective for a filmmaker to use: fingers splayed messily over the camera's lens, obscuring our view. You don't want to see this, it implores." – Kate Hennessy, The Quietus
"The project is impressively realised, though from an outsider's perspective it's hard to know what to make of this apparent need to revisit the trauma." – Alfred Hickling, The Guardian
"The footage had been worked into a kind of 'almost narrative' – or a series of character studies that you didn't quite understand. Watching it unfold put me in mind of being a child in a dangerous and incomprehensible situation, where the danger was simply a sense of menace that you didn't know how to get away from. It conveyed that there were things here to understand, but you couldn't just quite find a safe enough place to do so." –
Sue Reece, Radio Adelaide
"Endless shots of endless suburbia, Australia's searing skies filtered to an ominous lead colour – it's unsettling but strangely romantic, evocative of the continent-country's sheer unbridled massiveness." – Andrzej Lukowski, Drowned in Sound
"The footage will be an "impressionistic" assemblage arranged "instrumentally" on the night by Berliner Marcel Weber in a partly improvised arrangement where "everyone is playing off each other". " – Kate-Hennessy, ABC Arts
6th March 2014 – Adelaide Festival, Townhall of Adelaide, Australia
13th June 2014 – Dark Mofo Festival, MONA, Hobart, Australia
16th Oct 2014 – Unsound Festival, Kijów Centrum, Krakow, Poland
"In conversation with Jed Kurzel, I developed an atmospheric journey through Australian societies' periphery, visiting damaged urban landscapes and their deprived residents – precarious, brutalized, yet utterly human, living and loving.
All imagery is lost in reverie: part gentle dream, part nightmare; telling a story in abstract, supporting the musical spirit of the concert.
The atmospheric free-flowing narrative is subtly present. It is a carefully crafted dream, opening with a meditation on enviroment and slowly introducing humanity, becoming increasingly disrupted by flawed film material – distortions, camera shakes, over-exposed footage, filmstrip beginnings and ends, outtakes, etc. This material is used to create a subliminal tension, reminiscent of the violence that has tormented Adelaides suburbs.
Warp Films kindly provided unused original film reels to use as the basis of the performance. Beyond sifting through the material and building a new narrative out of it, my work was to prepare supporting, non-obtrusive special effects. These included time manipulation of sequences, used to establish a surreal atmosphere or to highlight overlooked details in the periphery of images, as well as creative grading and post production. Much of the footage needed to be colour-treated to match connecting shots, while keeping the dull, seemingly untreated look." –m

Cervical cancer occurs in the cells of a woman's cervix (the lower part of the uterus that is connected to the vagina). Women stand a risk of having cervical cancer as soon as they become sexually active putting women across different age at risk.
Being overweight, multiple sex partners, poor immunity, getting pregnant at a very early age, contraceptives and more are risks associated with cervical cancer. Cervical cancer usually doesn't show any sign at the initial stage leaving people at a risk of not knowing they have it until it's almost too late to be cured.
Cervical cancer can be treated when caught at an early stage but these are usually warning signs it presents:
Read:Kwara State Govt Inaugurates Committee on Herbal Practitioners
1. Pain during intercourse
A common warning of cervical cancer is pain during sex which usually indicates the cancer has spread across the reproductive organs as well as tissues and needs to be checked (the cervix should be examined) as soon as possible.
2. Pain/discomfort when passing out urine
Discomfort during urinating is one of the major signs of cervical cancer. Discomfort like stinging, burning etc sensation when taking a pee maybe an indication for STDs in some cases but it should be checked as this could also be a sign of cervical cancer which requires expert attention and fast!
3. Bleeding/Heavy Menses
Prolonged, heavy and continuous bleeding during the monthly cycle is also a sign to watch out for. (If you change sanitary towels more than once within an hour or two make sure to get checked by an expert).
4. Vaginal Discharge
Sometimes vaginal discharge isn't a cause for alarm but when it becomes unusual, watery, pale or brownish (mixed with blood in some cases), it's best to see the doctor ASAP.
5. Bleeding
Abnormal bleeding is also another indicator of cervical cancer. Bleeding after sex, in between the monthly cycle and unusually regularly should be checked out with a physician.

It was revealed last week that a speed camera in Hartlepool raked in £7500 in just three hours, making it one of the most lucrative in the country.
When the trap was set up another four times on the same road, it brought the total revenue to just under £20,000 in 18 hours.
Now tell me that speed cameras arent primarily there to raise cash for the police authorities.
Yes, speeding can be dangerous. Yes, motorists shouldnt break speed limits. But I do wonder how many accidents these cameras actually prevent.
I must declare an interest here. I have been driving with an unblemished history for the past 18 years and have managed to acquire a total of nine points on my licence in the past year because of these blasted cameras.
I cant explain why, but there is just something Big Brother-esque about receiving a penalty notice in the post completely out of the blue.
In the old days when you were caught speeding not that I ever was, I hasten to add! you could plead your case with the traffic cop.
If the road was quiet and you were only doing a couple of miles over the limit, the officer would use his judgment and chances were you would get a ticking off and be sent on your way with your tail between your legs.
Not so with speed cameras. You are guilty as charged and it doesnt matter whether you were driving at 35mph at 2pm or 2am.
Dont get me wrong. I am not advocating speeding . . . far from it.
My sons school has a memorial garden to a little girl who was knocked over and killed by a car driving at little more than the speed limit.
But what I am saying is that there must be common sense.
Why crawl through a village at 1am at 30mph, when everyone is tucked up in bed and there is nothing else on the road?
Equally, it would be madness to drive through the same village at school closing time as fast as 30mph.
I recently spent quite a few weekends driving down the M1 to the Midlands and there were several swathes of motorway with 50mph signs, because of roadworks.
Fine . . . but the roadworks were overnight ones.
The cones had all been taken up and all that remained were the speed limit signs. Not just any old signs either, these were those stroppy ones which flash at you to slow down!
So the cars did . . . and I saw quite a few near-misses when drivers slammed on their brakes after seeing the signs, causing confusion all round to the traffic behind them.
You can understand why the drivers were puzzled. All there was in front of them was miles and miles of clear motorway.
I wondered then, what would happen if you were spotted driving at 60mph when there was a completely superfluous 50mph speed sign still in place from the night before?
I think we all know the answer to that, dont we?

LOS ANGELES (June 29) – Before the July 14 world championship showdown between former Unified Super Lightweight World Champion Amir "King" Khan and current WBC Super Lightweight World Champion Danny "Swift" Garcia at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada which will air on HBO World Championship Boxing, Golden Boy Promotions will open its video vaults on Saturday, June 30 to get fight fans ready for this meeting of the 140-pound elite by airing two of the combatants' most memorable fights on FOX Deportes beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT.
Fans will take a trip back to December 11, 2010 for the 2010 Fight of the Year between Khan and Argentinean slugger Marcos "El Chino" Maidana. A classic 12-round battle which saw Khan drop Maidana in the first round en route to control matters early and then Maidana roar back in the late rounds. The epic battle ended in a unanimous decision victory for Khan who, after nearly being knocked out in the 10th round, closed the 11th and 12th rounds swinging, making the fight an instant classic which fans will get to revisit again on Saturday night.
The FOX Deportes broadcast will also go back to July 30, 2010 for a fight pitting Garcia against fellow prospect Jorge Romero. Already making a name for himself on the national scene, the Philadelphian's ninth round technical knockout over the 22-year-old Mexican was a major statement that Garcia was on his way to big things. He proved he was heading for stardom by halting Romero in a tough fight and has been nonstop ever since, taking on all comers including capturing the WBC World crown by defeating legendary Erik "El Terrible" Morales in March of 2012. Now the new star will defend his crown on July 14 against "King" Khan.
"Khan vs. Garcia," a 12-round fight for Garcia's WBC Super Lightweight World Championship, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Khan Promotions and sponsored by Corona and AT&T. The fight will be broadcast live on HBO World Championship Boxing at 11:00 p.m. ET/ PT in the United States and live on Sky Sports 1HD in the United Kingdom at 2:00 a.m. BST on July 15.

Dr. Charles Butler is Elected USA Boxing President
(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO) – Dr. Charles Butler (Kalamazoo, Mich.), a long-term ringside physician and AIBA committee member, has been elected to serve as the President/Chair of USA Boxing. Butler was chosen by his fellow USA Boxing Board of Directors members to fill the role following the removal of Hal Adonis as President.
"It is a great honor to be elected President of USA Boxing 16 days before our team leaves for London. The time is critical for USA Boxing. We have a great and proud tradition. Now we must support that tradition with achievement," Butler said. "We will provide for all needs of our athletes and coaches in this short preparation period. Once the Olympic Games are over, we will work to increase the number of both men and women boxers in our country and work to restore boxing to its rightful and historic place among all sports in the United States."
In his first days as President of the organization, Butler implemented a financial incentive program for the 2012 Olympic Team, encouraging the team members to train and perform at their highest levels. The athletes will be rewarded for their efforts both in training camp as well as medal performances in London per Butler's new program. Following the Olympic Games, he will turn his attention to updating USA Boxing's rulebook and bylaws to ensure they are consistent.
Butler has served on the medical committee from 2003 to the present date, holding numerous positions on the board. He currently holds positions within numerous Ringside Physicians organizations both in the United States and abroad. Highly respected throughout the globe, Butler has been heavily involved at the international level over the past decade. He is a member of the AIBA Executive Committee, AIBA Reform Committee and AIBA Executive Bureau as well as serving as the Chair of AIBA's Medical Commission and is the AIBA Medical Representative to the IOC. Butler was elected to USA Boxing's Board of Directors in 2010 in the role of AIBA Director prior to being elected President on Monday.
Dr Butler is a highly respected Cardiac Surgeon who has held teaching positions at Harvard University, the Mayo Clinic, the University of Alabama, University of Utah, LSU, and Michigan State. He was the Director of Cardiac Surgery at Michigan State University's Bronson Methodist Hospital from 1985-2005. Butler is a father of three, and he and his wife, Penny, live in Kalamazoo, Mich.

"It's the same conversation, because it's the same story, over and over. I love, but not enough. I want to be with them, but not enough. Not like I want to be with you. Not like I love you."
IN JOHN'S WORDS: "I screwed up royally, time and again, and somehow we have still managed to make it this far, and you have found room in your heart to love me. And I loved you before we even got your books picked up off the ground after you tripped over those tree roots, on day one. I'd never known anything like the pull I felt to you, and I still feel it. All these years later, it's stronger than ever."
Scenes From Highland Falls, Chapter 19 "All My Life"
NAME: John F. Kennedy Jr.
ROLE: Abby's First Love
HE MET ABBY... In the spring of 1980 on the campus of Brown University.
(I've Loved These Days, Book 1 in The Abigail Phelps Series, Chapter 6 - "This Is The Time")
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: "As we stood there talking and laughing, I wasn't thinking about who he was, who his family was, or what his legacy was. I wasn't even thinking about how handsome he was, although it was certainly something I realized. Photos didn't do him justice. Actually, what I was thinking was, 'I'm going to marry this man someday.'"
I've Loved These Days, Chapter 6 "This Is The Time"
ROMANTIC CONNECTION: A brief engagement ended in 1982 when John's Uncle Ted strongly disapproved. But that was far from the end...
IN ABBY'S WORDS: "I was saying goodbye to John, the first man I loved. I stared out at the ocean, remembering sailboats and kayaks and summer days which John and I spent together, but I also couldn't help but think of the Piper Saratoga, spiraling into the very waters that were gently rushing to the shore and running away just as tenderly as I cried. I was heartbroken, but suddenly I was strangely at peace."

Tuition fees are not working out in quite the way the government planned. The government should not be surprised by this as they left the door wide open with vague conditions regarding poorer students and have done little to enforce the limits promised to the public.
Universities and colleges are having a hard time at present and are being forced to get as much money as possible from any source they can in order to survive. Immigration caps are likely to cut off the wellspring of funding that was once available from foreign students and domestic school leavers cannot afford the fees that are now required.
TheOpinionSite.org pointed out some time ago that not everyone needs – or wants – a university education yet the government insists that to go to university is the only way forward if you want to get a reasonable job.
At the same time, the standard of degrees has declined dramatically from what it once was and it is now virtually impossible to fail a degree. Many employers don't know what qualifications may or may not be worth and, obviously, if everyone has a degree such qualifications cannot allow good candidates for a job to be distinguished from those less able.
One of the main purposes of a university education in the past was to teach people how to solve problems by researching the necessary data. Nowadays, the whole of education seems to be a mixture of multiple-choice question papers and asking students to solve problems having given the methos of doing so in advance.
Industry and society needs people who can solve the never ending stream of problems that modern life produces. Understandably, employers look to the universities to produce these problem solvers. The problem arises when those with the qualifications can often only solve problems if they are given most of the answer first.
There are, of course some excellent universities who turn out equally excellent graduates but it seems now that those students who are bright enough to attain entry to such institutions may not be able to afford to attend. Even these higher educational insitutions are now experiencing very real financial difficulties.
With increasing unemployment and less money around generally, this will be an interesting period for all concerned. It is hoped that the government will take action while it still can to try and prevent inflation in the fees market place but TheOpinionSite.org believes that it may already be too late.
Universities rely on advance sign ups, in particular from foreign students. If there is significant doubt as to whether or not they can afford to attend, those advance reservations are not likely to be forthcoming. Yet without them, no university could survive for very long.
If Michael Gove, the Education Secretary wants to make a real difference to the educational prospects of young people in a meaningful way, perhaps he ought to take action now to ensure that university education is not returned to the state it was when he was a student; that where less than 20% of school leavers were able to attend these senior seats of learning.
There is of course another option and that is to publicly state that university is not for everyone but to be frank, it would be a brave and probably unwise politician who would have the courage or foolishness to promote such a view, even if it is probably true.

People sell their wine for many reasons; tastes change, the need to liquidate their investment, estate planning, financial difficulties, downsizing. You name it, the reasons are myriad.

Career Opportunities
The rewards of successful effort will be yours to keep.
We welcome all of your speculative CVs and letters of application, regardless of your current level of experience or seniority, if currently with another firm. These things can be worked on, given the appropriate attitude and frame of mind from you. If your personal values and attitude match our philosophy, then you will be invited to come in for a chat. All other speculative applications will be courteously acknowledged.
We appreciate that the right people are exceedingly rare and that we cannot let opportunities (i.e. you) pass us by. We have no control over when you may be looking for a career move and believe that you will find us, more so than us finding you.
To help us to avoid 'false negatives' and reject the right people, please follow the guidance below:
- Consider the general personal characteristics of a professional accountant in public practice (see below) and convince us that you have these. Please note that our clients are exceedingly demanding in terms of a high quality personal service and that business, tax and accounting technical expertise is taken as a 'given'.
- Your CV should list all GSCE grades by subject.
- Likewise with A Levels, if applicable.
- Degree holders should give a brief outline of their course along with their degree classification.
- Relevant accounting and business qualifications should be stated.
- In, or with, your covering letter of application, describe your ideal small firm of accountants, the one of your dreams, which you would like to work for. State the purpose behind why the firm exists. List all relevant stakeholders and what each of these should be receiving from the firm. Give consideration to the internal structure of the firm and how clients can be best served by this. Finally, what would be the future for the firm and what would be your role within the firm to reach that future?
Personal Characteristics of Accountants (From the IFA's website here)
Accountants must enjoy working in a numerate environment and have a good working knowledge of accounting information. They should have an inquiring, analytical mind and be able to work logically, consistently and accurately even when under pressure. They need to be self-motivated individuals with the ability to manage their time efficiently. Accountants need management skills as well as knowledge of the general economic environment in which they operate. They need to keep themselves up-to-date with the regular changes in financial rules and regulations and have the ability to quickly recognise the implications of such changes on their employers' or clients' affairs.
Accountants work with people from all walks of life and therefore effective interpersonal skills are essential. They should be confident individuals with the ability to put people at their ease and inspire confidence. They should have excellent written and spoken communication skills and be able to discuss and explain financial issues with both fellow professionals and those with little or no financial background.

If you're planning a visit to Byron Bay, chances are you're checking in for a little soul healing.
Located along the far-northeastern border of Australia's New South Wales, the beachside town of Byron Bay has a magnetic pull that offers kale salads, tie-dye loving hippies and plenty of good times.
Together with my best girlfriends, I recently checked into The Byron at Byron for a weekend of good food, great wine and excellent spa treatments. The latter was indeed just that. Excellent.
You see RELAXATION is the name of the game at The Byron at Byron, and boy, do they do it well. We arrive late (and tired) one Friday evening having driven from the Gold Coast to be greeted by a warm welcome: twinkling fairy lights wrapped around palm trees, a cosy reception area and a lively alfresco-style restaurant that leads to a beautiful veranda, perfect for lolling around with a pre-dinner cocktail before heading out to dinner at The Roadhouse.
With 92 villas on offer, what the five star resort lacks in scale it makes up for in quality, intimacy and quality hospitality. There is a clear emphasis is on healthy leisure activities, pampering and fine dining. The truth is, at The Byron at Byron, there's barely any reason to leave the resort (although we do for a morning swim at Tallows Beach, which is walking distance and an Aperol Spritz at Balcony in town). And after a few laps, a hit of tennis and a spot of yoga, there's nothing better than a zen Rainforest Couples Retreat spa experience.

David Wolff - Patrick/Redfern
Justin Bieber's fans are not saying sorry.
During his first performance in Manchester, England Thursday night during the European leg of his Purpose World Tour, the Grammy winner tried to have a brief chat with his fans before jumping into his next song, but the boisterous crowd would not quiet down.
"If not, I'll just get to singing," he said frankly. "I don't mind cutting the bulls--t because I don't need to talk. I'm just trying to engage, but if you guys don't want to do that then we can just play the music."
Fans did not take the comment lightly and headed to Twitter to label Bieber "rude."

Form koshian into 28 3/4-inch balls.
Combine 1/4 cup water, food coloring and sugar. Mix baking soda with the 2 teaspoons water, then add to colored mixture. Add cake flour to liquid mixture and mix until a dough is formed (add more water or flour if necessary). Divide dough into four equal portions.
Roll each portion into a 7-inch log and cut each log into seven 1-inch pieces. Place each piece between sheets of wax paper and flatten with rolling pin or anything handy, like a cup. Use hands to thin out the edges. The flattened dough should be approximately 3 inches wide.
Place a koshian ball in center of dough and wrap dough around ball. Pinch to seal edges.
Roll manju in your hands until pinched areas are smooth and a ball shape is formed. Flatten slightly, then place on a small square of wax paper.
Bring water to boil in lower part of steamer. Place a damp, thin cloth over holes in top part of steamer. Place manju 1 inch apart on cloth. When water is steaming, put top of steamer in place and cover. Steam 12 minutes. Cool manju on rack, with wax paper still attached
After cooling, paint with Christmas designs using food-coloring pens.

Easter Eggstravaganza: Ultimate Egg Hunt Ideas for All Ages
The thrill of the hunt is something everyone can enjoy when it comes to brightly colored Easter eggs. From big to small, Easter egg hunts can be played in our backyards, neighborhoods, churches, schools, and even at local resorts. Whether you're the designated egg-hider, the eager egg searcher, or simply a spectator watching the excitement unfold, there's fun to be had for all ages.
And in case no one told you, you're never too old to participate in an egg hunt! We've compiled some ultimate egg hunt ideas to get the entire family involved this Easter…
Bunny Trail
For little ones that don't really understand the concept of looking for hidden eggs just yet, take an easier approach and have them follow the bunny trail!
(Photo by Smart School House, located at http://www.smartschoolhouse.com/diy-crafts/easter-bunny-trail/2)
You can use white chalk or even flour to create bunny paw prints that hop along a trail or sidewalk. Scattering eggs all along the trail in plain sight may be easier for your toddler as their attention spans tend to be just as short as they are. Fill their eggs with things they'll love like yogurt melts, goldfish, graham crackers, or even stickers!
Balloon Eggs
Another great way to help toddlers keep their eye on the prize is the use of helium balloons.
(Photo by Celebrations at Home, located at http://celebrationsathomeblog.com/easter-egg-hunt-idea/)
There are few toddlers that can stay away from these magical floating wonders (aka balloons). Tie one balloon to each pre-filled egg (securing it with tape) and watch your little one adorably collect them one by one. If older kids will be playing with regular eggs at the same time, just make sure they know to leave the balloon eggs for the wee-little players.
Finding Nemo and Dory
Your kids may love watching Finding Nemo and Finding Dory. On repeat. Daily. But have they ever tried finding them in real life?
For this ocean-inspired egg hunt, paint multiple eggs blue and green to symbolize the ocean. Then, paint one egg orange with white stripes to represent Nemo and one blue, black and yellow to represent Dory.
If you have time, get creative and cut out little fins from paper or cardboard to make them look more fish-like. Definitely get your kids involved in creating the Nemo and Dory eggs, as that's half the fun! Don't worry about trying to make them look perfect – your kids will have fun no matter how they turn out.
When it's time for the hunt, make sure Nemo and Dory are hidden better than the ocean eggs so that you can remind the kids to "just keep swimming" as they continue to hunt. Whoever collects the most ocean eggs can win candy; but whoever finds Nemo and/or Dory will receive a special prize like a coloring book or toy!
Easter Egg Coupons
"Silly bunny, egg hunts are for kids" – said no pre-teen ever after playing this version!
(Photo by U Create Crafts, located at http://www.u-createcrafts.com/easter-egg-coupons/)
Do you have a son or daughter who's on the verge of being a know-it-all teenager and believes they're too cool to participate in an egg hunt? Well, you're in luck because there's one simple trick to make those eggs disappear faster than a toupée in a hurricane. Replace the candy in the eggs with stuff they actually want: COUPONS!
But not just your ordinary Sunday newspaper coupons (although, you could definitely include a few of those as 'rotten eggs'). Instead, you want to make fun coupons such as:
– Skip one chore of your choice
– Stay up late pass
– One trip to your favorite restaurant
– Get help cleaning your room
– Go somewhere fun with mom
– Go somewhere fun with dad
– Dessert of your choice
– One hour of extended video game/iPhone/etc. time
– Get a new app or song download
You could even include some confetti eggs in the mix to add an extra element of fun!
Confetti Eggs
These eggs won't be filled with coupons, but their purpose is much more entertaining. Confetti eggs (aka cascarones) are like mini piñatas of awesomeness. These hollowed-out eggs can be filled with confetti, glitter, cereal, bird seed, or basically anything else that's small enough to fit in an egg.
(Photo by Oh Happy Day, located at http://ohhappyday.com/2011/04/diy-party-confetti-egg-game/)
One lucky egg can be filled with gold glitter for a special prize!
(Photo by Oh Happy Day, located at http://ohhappyday.com/2011/04/diy-party-confetti-egg-game/)
At the end of the egg hunt, there will be a ceremonial smashing of the confetti eggs. Choose whose head you'd like to smash your confetti egg on top of (or smash it on your own head). The hollowed-out eggs break pretty easily, so the smash doesn't need too much force behind it. The only rule is: no throwing confetti eggs! You don't want anyone catching an egg in the face.
(Photo by Oh Happy Day, located at http://ohhappyday.com/2011/04/diy-party-confetti-egg-game/)
During the ceremonial smashing, whoever has the gold glitter egg smashed on their head is the grand prize winner! The prize could be an Easter basket filled with yummy candies, chocolate, and a few very special coupons (or whatever you think the participants would like).
Glow-in-the-Dark Eggs
Egg hunts in the daylight are for rookies. Wait for the sun to set and really test your skills with glow-in-the-dark eggs!
(Photo by Hip2Save, located at http://hip2save.com/2016/03/22/glow-in-the-dark-easter-eggs-2/)
You can easily make your own by putting glow stick bracelets in semi-transparent plastic eggs. Putting special prizes like $1 or $5 bills in a few and hiding those really well will give the players an extra incentive during the game. Flashlights may be needed if there's no moonlight outside, or depending on how rugged the terrain is.
You could also take the game indoors by turning off all the lights in your house. Just make sure to put away any easily breakable objects, as the fun can end pretty quickly when someone accidentally knocks over mom's favorite vase (speaking from personal experience).
While egg hunts are usually every bunny for himself, dividing into color-coded teams where you collect your team's egg color only can also be lots of fun (and more competitive). Either way, glow-in-the-dark egg hunts will be a guaranteed highLIGHT of any Easter party!
Charge those smartphones, it's time to egg hunt like a high-tech guru! Geocaching has been picking up popularity in recent years all over the world and, let's face it, it's basically just an advanced egg hunt.
For those of you that have never heard of geocaching, think of it as a real-world, outdoor treasure hunt using a GPS-enabled device. There are lots of different geocache communities you can join, download coordinates and begin your 21st century egg/cache hunt.
Another tech-friendly Easter option is to create your own audio and video clues for each egg within your hunt. Companies like TINE Tag make it easy for you to order scan tags and stick them on your Easter eggs.
(Photo by TINE Tag, located at http://www.tinetag.com/)
You can scan each egg and record a clue or video on how to find the next one. During the egg hunt, players will use their smartphones to scan the tag and listen to your video/audio clip with instructions on how to find the next one. The app will notify you when an egg has been scanned so you can keep track of the game from afar. Use your creative juices to come up with an egg hunt that spans your entire neighborhood or even your entire city! Game on.
Give one or all of these egg hunts a whirl this Easter and let us know which one your family and friends loved the most. For even more creative ideas to try this season, check out our list of Spring Party Ideas for Adults and Kids.
Happy hunting!

Very great and neat ideas. Great for all ages. This year we still have snow outside where I live but the farm big garage (building) will be our savior. Kids had a fun hunt around Grandpa's farm machinery in other years.
I just love all these new ideas for egg hunting! I am looking forward to trying some of them with my grandkids this Easter:)
Eggcellent ideas!! My kids are older teens, so glow-in-the-dark and geocaching are my favorites! 🙂

Like most girls I grew up with the "princess mentality" with Cinderella and Snow White. But unlike most girls I wasn't a big fan of frills but rather enjoyed Tarzan, Hansel and Gretel and the very whimsical Peter Pan and his bestie Tinkerbell.
I mean how awesome is it to have fairy dust and fly! Plus we get to be carefree and whisical kids forever! Now Syfy has a two-night movie event coming out in December and based on the trailer and their press release below, it sounds fantastic!
From http://www.syfy.com/
Neverland, a prequel to author J.M. Barrie's classic, Peter Pan, sweeps in time from the turbulent seas of the pirates of the Caribbean and the back alleys of Dickensian London to a world of pure imagination. The cast includes Rhys Ifans (Pirate Radio, Notting Hill) as James Hook, Oscar nominee Keira Knightley as the voice of Tinker Bell, Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies) as Captain Elizabeth Bonny, Oscar nominee Bob Hoskins as Smee (who previously played the character in Steven Spielberg's feature, Hook), Raoul Trujillo (Tin Man) and Charlie Rowe (Pirate Radio) as one of literature's most cherished characters, Peter Pan.
Peter (Rowe), along with his pals of young pickpockets, have been rounded up by their mentor Jimmy Hook (Ifans) to snatch a magical orb which transports them to another world - Neverland. Filled with white jungles and imposing cities formed out of trees created by Dr. Fludd (Dance) and inhabited by a colony of tree spirits led by Tinker Bell (Knightley), this mysterious realm welcomes unknown friends and enemies snatched from time. These include power-mad Elizabeth Bonny (Friel) and her band of 18th century pirates who search for the answer to eternal youth, a secret guarded by a Holy Man (Trujillo). As the fight to save this strange and beautiful world escalates, Peter and his crew consider that growing old somewhere in time could be less important than growing up—right here in their new home called Neverland.
Directed by Nick Willing who have worked with Syfy in previous TV Movies such as Tin Man and Alice, reinterpretations of the classics Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland respectively. Neverland promises to be nothing short of spectacular from the cast to the special effects. For more information go to www.syfy.com/neverland

If you had asked me to guess which popular culture works would get covered in the media this last year for their use of science, Back to the Future 2 would not have been on the list. But October 21, 2015 is the date that Doc Brown and Marty McFly visit "in the future". In honor of the day, Forbes ran a series of articles about the science and technology of BTTF2's 2015 and how they compare with our reality. My favorite invention—introduced at the end of the first film—was the Mr. Fusion reactor that powered the upgraded DeLorean, so Carmen Drahl's interview with a specialist in the control of fusion plasmas was a must-read. As Natalie Robehmed pointed out, some of the technology "predictions" of BTTF2 did come true, such as wearable technology and drones. Unfortunately, we willl still have to wait for Mr. Fusion and the flux capacitor.
The movie that would have been at the top of that list was The Martian, not a surprise. There were a lot of articles written last fall and winter; even NASA took the opportunity to show how they are developing the technologies referenced in the film, like generating oxygen and recovering water. A good place to start is Mika McKinnon's io9 article where she grades (good, bad, fascinating) the film's science. One of my favorite scenes in the book is how Watney tries to make water for his crops by burning hydrazine. It was also in the film, and I was pleased it was mentioned in Caroline Framke's Vox piece on the science behind five major plot points. As she did the previous year with Interstellar, astrophysicist Katie Mack also wrote about The Martian from the perspective of both scientist and "space enthusiast."
There were not as many articles about Star Wars: The Force Awakens, though I enjoyed Rhett Allain's article on three ways the new Starkiller base could actually work. But the best Star Wars-related work I read last year was actually about the economic costs to the Empire for those first two Death Stars. I followed Kelsey Atherton's Popular Science post to Washington University professor Zachary Feinstein's paper on arXiv. And just so I cannot be accused of bias, here is one about the less-than-appetizing appeal of Star Trek: The Next Generation's food replicator.
On the tastier side of things, sixth season MasterChef contestant (and biochemistry major) Hetal Vasavada was interviewed by Jyllian Kemsley for C&EN. In it she talked about her love of chemistry and how that informed her culinary skills. I was amazed just watching Vasavada—a vegetarian—cook dishes on the show that she could not taste.
Now we move to the DC and Marvel. Esther Inglis-Arkell reminded us why kryptonite cannot exist. And Wired posted a video about the science and special effects of Agent Carter's "zero matter" and the devices designed to contain it.
Kyle Hill's Beyond Science series at The Nerdist continues to investigate the science of your favorite fandoms. Among the more chemistry-focused questions he tried to answer this past year: "What poisons are inside the Joker's laughing gas?" "What kind of poison is The Princess Bride's iocane powder?" (I sense a theme here) and "How acidic is the Alien xenomorph's blood?"
While I am pretty sure moon tea is not mentioned in the Game of Thrones television series, it is does get a mention in the third novel, A Storm of Swords. As part of a recent "Science of Game of Thrones" blog carnival, Raychelle Burks wrote about the chemistry of the compounds behind moon tea.
I will wrap up with one of the more recent films where science plays an important role: Ghostbusters, and Joshua Sokol's Wired article about the MIT physicists who contributed their expertise in the design of the proton packs and even one of the character's campus office.

text: Mum with one hand, running a business with the other… February 22, 2017 Posted Under: Women in business Mumpreneurs, entrepreneurs, mighty hard workers, super multi taskers, call them whatever you want, there are lots of us who are mums with one hand and running our businesses with the other, and there in something really inspirational about other people's stories, so here is the story of a local mum setting up her event management business. Jo asked if I could do some professional head shots for her new business, but I had no availability on the days she had childcare, so I said to bring her little prince along to the shoot. This doesn't exactly fill us with a feeling of high flying professionals, but reality is, we are juggling two roles! I hope you enjoy Jo's story and this little behind the scenes from her shoot. Jo's story I've been selling for over 18 years in various industries; Recruitment, Corporate Hospitality, Conference and Events, Web Development, Marketing Services, HR and Health & Safety Consultancy. I have enjoyed working for organisations and running my own business, both previously and currently. I have been lucky enough to be given responsibility to create sales activity and marketing campaigns with successful results. I have worked at many prestigious venues, which have enabled me to use my creative skills as well as developing new business and new business opportunities. I had been very settled into a Business Development role for a fantastic global brand/organisation and fell pregnant, I hadn't quite anticipated how much having our son would change both our lives, for the better. The moment he was born I just knew, I couldn't return to working full time and being away from home, away from him and missing all the special moments, I appreciate that some parents have no choice, they have to return to their full time employment. However, there are also others who are lucky to have parents still alive, or relatives that can step in and assist. As we moved away from our home town when I started my last job, it meant we were away from my husbands family and longstanding friends. So, when my request for returning to work part time was declined, we decided that I would set up Sheer Edge Ltd, we would somehow juggle business, childcare and make it work. I've had many job offers along the way, but I think its so important to try my best to make the business work. It's been over a year now since we made that decision and I have no regrets, i've seen our son grow and watched the magical stages of development. Don't get me wrong, I have probably set about it the hardest way, with no investment, no immediate client contacts to call upon, as a family we've really had to restrict our spend which is hard with a child. But i'm encouraged that we have regular clients who are booking with us and are seeing a regular increase in awareness and interest. Both in the hospitality booking service and event services. I think it's important for clients to know how hard you're working for them, how much their custom means to you, which is why it's a good thing for them to know we have a new addition to our family. What it takes for you to juggle a business, child and being you. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Follow Jo on Facebook www.facebook.com/sheeredgehande/ Follow Jo on Twitter twitter.com/sheeredgehande Visit Jo's hospitality & events website www.sheeredge.co.uk/ Have you got a dream of setting up a business? Maybe you have already started out, or maybe you have a plan? The key point is to accept that it isn't the easy option. It is a lot of hard work, but also very exciting! First step in making a business happen is looking the part, and great images goes a long way here. You might feel more like a mum a lot of the time, but you can still look like a professional business to your customers! Please do get in touch about getting you started with a broad set of images perfectly showcasing your business. Good luck!

Hutton Wilkinson's Exotic Hollywood Home
An excessive California estate.
Nancy Hass
Dec 5, 2013
Imagination runs wild in a grand California estate that captures the romance of Hollywood.

Riotous Splendor
Calling a home "excessive" might be considered an insult to some, but the adjective puts a wide smile on the handsome face of designer Hutton Wilkinson as he stands amid the riotous splendor of the 4,000-square-foot Venetian palazzo he has built to share with Ruth, his wife of 36 years, in Beverly Hills. "I can't imagine the lives of minimalists," he says. "This is minimalism to me."

Endless Gold Leaf
Others can keep their beiges and their Berber rugs; Wilkinson, the longtime business partner of the late set designer and decorator extraordinaire Tony Duquette (he came to work for the master when he was only 17), immerses himself in teal, amethyst, and deep reds—and seemingly endless hand-wrought gold leaf. Not to mention a sea of leopard carpet, a set of seven-foot-tall blackamoor figures from the estate of former client Dodie Rosekrans, coral branches once owned by Elsie de Wolfe, a slew of 17th-century Venetian oils, and an 18th-century vermeil model ship.

Sea of Leopard
And then there's the huge rendering of Wilkinson's family tree—he is descended from Bolivian aristocracy—adorned with monkeys and rodents. Come to think of it,
seems an understatement.

The land on which the home sits is next door to Duquette's former house, which Wilkinson, who runs his business under the Duquette moniker, bought from his mentor's estate after Duquette's death in 1999.

Grand Staircase
Wilkinson has turned that home into a museum filled with the exquisite belongings of Duquette and his late wife, Elizabeth. Duquette's clients included J. Paul Getty and Doris Duke, and he famously used everything from Louis XVI furnishings to gold-colored plastic serving trays to create his baroque interiors.
Velvet upholstery, a mural of Venice, and gleaming black-granite floors make a dramatic statement in an alcove off the living room. Mural, Scarlet Abbott.

Double-Height Glass Wall
He and Elizabeth entertained Elizabeth Taylor, Tennessee Williams, and Princess Grace, among many others, and Wilkinson now uses the house for special events.
A double-height glass wall opens the living room to the garden. Curtains and Louis XV chairs in Tony Duquette for Jim Thompson fabrics. Venetian blackamoor sculptures. White tabourets, Tony Duquette for Baker.

Romantic Retreat
Next door, at their own home, Wilkinson and his wife throw parties that spill out into the gardens adjoining the properties. There is often dancing for a hundred, with a band playing standards by Cole Porter and Jerome Kern; Balinese dancing girls; gourmet Mexican food; and a cadre of men in turbans, who make sure no one trips on the polished black-marble stairs that appear throughout the house.

Antique Table
Structurally, the home is a vertical affair, with all the rooms facing south. This gives the Wilkinsons—whose living quarters are on the top floor of three, looking down at a lake below—the sense of residing in a penthouse.

Gilded Age
There is a trio of bedrooms, so Wilkinson and Ruth can each have a retreat; Ruth's is dominated by a large-scale painting by Elizabeth Duquette. "The upstairs is dreamy and romantic and sort of adorable," Hutton says.
Jewelry, Tony Duquette. Antique malachite bear and Chinese lamp.

Intimate Nook
The main entry is on the middle level of the house, therefore necessitating a grand stroll down a sweeping circular staircase to the large open living room.
Bookshelves on the landing define an intimate reading nook. Chandelier, Tony Duquette for Remains Lighting.

Adjoining Gardens
Wilkinson, who favors silk dressing gowns and often wears pendants from the elaborate jewelry collection he designs, loves to make an entrance.
"Very Auntie Mame," he says. "Why would you live any other way?"
Wedgwood Regency china. Tablecloth fabric, Tony Duquette for Jim Thompson.

Tranquil Pool
Stone steps off the living room lead to a tranquil infinity pool. Custom coral chairs. Antique Moroccan lanterns and Chinese jars.
