The Millenial Martha Stewart, Lauren Conrad, was featured on WhoWhatWear.com giving her do's and dont's for wedding guest attire. We have shared some of those tips here along with our own for you to check out!
1. The Golden Rule: Do not wear a white dress!
This is the oldest rule in the book! No matter how great that white sun dress looks there should only be one white dress at the wedding!
2. In addition to not wearing white… let the bride make the statement!
It is important to remember that this day is about celebrating the relationship of the Mr. and Mrs. to be. So while you are picking out your dapper attire just remember that all eyes should be on them!
3. Be comfortable!
We have all regretted wearing those heels by the time the dance floor opens. A lot of couples offer flip flops for their guests these days but it's best to come prepared! Now is when we give a nod to Sidekicks for their foldable flats. These are great to have in hand for any long day!
4. Follow the dress code on the invitation!
Sometimes we feel as though their are blurred guidelines in dress codes. The Knot has put together a great cheat sheet to break it down for you.
If you follow these steps you will be dressed to impress!

Guacamole Grilled Cheese
This is the best grilled cheese sandwich! I daresay possibly even my favorite sandwich? I crave it all the time ever since I started making it a week ago! I think I've made it for lunch at least 5 times in the past week! Crusty bread, melty cheese, gooey creamy avocado, salty garlic, sweet tomatoes and a little spice from salsa, a hint of sour from limes and a bit of cilantro! HEAVEN!
Today for the first time, I made this sandwich in our Xpress Readi Set Go (thanks for that impulse buy, Dad!). It worked out so much better than on a griddle or pan! I was having a problem with the cheese melting when I made these in a pan and would end up microwaving them for 10 seconds at the end to melt the cheese (I like my cheese really melty). This made the bread soft and not crunchy, which doesn't hold up well to the heavy insides. So if you'll be cooking these in a pan, be warned, and maybe cook them a little lower to melt the cheese and not burn the outside.
Guacamole Grilled Cheese
[ adapted from Two Peas and Their Pod ]
Your favorite guacamole, or:
1 large avocado per 2 sandwiches
Shake of garlic salt
Spoonful of your favorite salsa
1 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, chopped small
1 tsp fresh lime juice (I've used lemon too)
Shake of pepper
4 slices of your favorite bread (I used whole wheat bread, but this would be great with a thick crusty bread)
2–4 slices cheddar cheese, depending on how cheesy you want it
Butter, for buttering outsides
Cut avocado in half and remove seed. Scoop out avacado from the peel, put in a large bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork. Add the garlic salt, salsa, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Heat a pan or griddle to medium heat. For each sandwich, spread desired amount of guacamole on one slice of bread then top with cheese and other slice of bread (or you can sandwich the guacamole inside two slices of cheese). Butter outer slices of bread and grill on one side until golden and crispy. Flip the sandwich and grill until golden brown.
I hope you love this sandwich as much as we do!!

For Paolo Zanetti, taking part to the Viareggio Cup has two significant meanings. The first one: it's a reward for the great season his lads are doing with the Ac Reggiana Berretti. The second one: it's like a deja-vu for him. As a player, in fact, he featured in one edition of this prestigious youth tournament with Vicenza. It was the time that Paolo was deemed as one of the brightest young prospects of that period in Italian football. There'd be another one. More subtle, but very present within Zanetti's soul. To face once again his past: Torino Fc. The club for whom the Ac Reggiana Berretti coach played for four years. A big chunk of his footballing past.
Let's hear from the man himself how he is approaching the incoming Viareggio Cup
Ac Reggiana to the Viareggio Cup. Mr. Paolo Zanetti, what comes to your mind when you think about this?
«Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is the opportunity for the kids to showcase their talents and skills. The second one is the opportunity, again, to play against football powerhouses like Torino Fc. It's going to be a revealing moment for us, to see where we're at».
And what about you? What is the meaning of taking part in the tournament?
«For me is a reason of pride and enjoyment. I played in the tournament many years ago with Vicenza. I don't deny, also, that facing Toro will give me shivers. For me, it will be something special. I've played there for four years. Hence, it will be the occasion to meet people I've been around and greet them warmly. Moreover, I perfectly know how they do things there. Their level is undisputedly top notch».
What are your expectations for your players going into the tournament?
«My primary goal is to put the kids in the best conditions to play their best football and to showcase their skills. It can happen only in one way: if we go there with a perfect attitude and a great tactical organization. I am totally confident of the mental skills of this group. These kids are resilient. They never give up. They showed it many times during the season. This is what pushes me to say that sometimes the mental element closes the technical gap with higher rated teams».
The idea is to show the right approach and keeping your team identity. Is that correct?
«Absolutely. The way this team has been built is this, and we won't deflect from this. The final score matters, this is evident, but I don't think that anybody will ask us to win the Cup but to hold our own. To do this, we need to have clear in mind what are our skills and abilities».
Facing top-notch opponents will force you to adopt adequate measures to limit them?
«This is evident. We are fearless, not cocky. It means that we ought to be flexible enough in our game plan to adjust to the various opponents. Our DNA leads us to play an attacking brand of football making very little calculations. Viareggio Cup is a different "animal." We need to pay a bit more attention to the defensive side of the ball, and it will be up to me to give the kids the best defensive organization on the pitch and put them in the best conditions to express themselves».
Have you already scouted your opponents?
«We will play against two international teams – Rijeka from Croatia and Cortuluà from Columbia – thus there are not so many elements we can gather to know them better. Torino is a different thing. I've watched them many times already. It's an above average team. We will have to be on top of our game when we are facing them and give them a hard time».
The Academy Director, Mr. Sergio Mezzina, spoke about how facing that kind of teams will make your team grow. Do you agree with him?
«It will be so if we will accept the idea of taking part in this tournament with a free mindset. We have to play the game freely, without any fear of failure. Always bearing in mind that our primary goal is to win the league and reach the Finals. If we approach the Cup with fear, it will be useless. It won't by worthy. It will up to me to give the kids the right belief and the tools to face such a high ranked opponents».
Are there any players on your team you rely particularly upon?
«Well, we have several class '98 that have to make some difference for us. I am thinking of the likes of Matteo Rizzi, for example. He practices regularly with the First Team. He is close to top Lega Pro players each and every day. When he comes down to play with us, he must bring all he learns with them and give us a boost. I am lucky because there are many players of character in the team. Guys who are mentally tough. These are our leaders, the ones who show the way to the other kids who have yet to make the leap on the personality side».
Do you consider taking part in the Viareggio Cup a reward for the work you put in and for the lads?
«Well, when you see consistent results in your everyday work that means that all the components are blossoming. I did my job; the lads did their. Also, the club, with its management did its own too. So, the credit goes to the boys, and to a club that fully believes in its Academy and in nurturing their young talents. I want to give credit to a Director of Football like Andrea Grammatica, who closely follows us without heavily interfering with our jobs. Credit, also, to the club ownership and the General Manager, Maurizio Franzone, to put us in the best conditions to do our jobs. I want to give enormous credit to my direct superiors, Mr. Sergio Mezzina and Mr. Giacomo Ferretti. They do have a unique skill: they let work their colleagues without interfering. At Academy level, this doesn't happen all the time. For example, nobody has ever imposed anything to me during this month as the Berretti team coach: whether it was a player, a methodology, a tactical setup. A situation that contributed to creating a sort of mutual respect between all the components where everyone does his job and does it well. I firmly believe that this year there are the perfect conditions to do a great job until the end of the season».
Do you consider the Viareggio Cup as a crucial moment of your season? Are you afraid that it will drain a lot of mental energy from your players?
«Let's say that, at least initially, we will play three games in one week at the Viareggio Cup. It's something unusual for the players. Once again, it will be up to me to be smart enough to balance the players' energies. Nevertheless, I find common that 17 or 18 years old kids will have enough mental and physical resources to face the rigors of playing in the Viareggio Cup and finish strong in the season. To add to this: I believe that some players may get a lift by playing in the Viareggio tournament».
Last question: do you have a particular credit you want to give in the wake of your participation in the Viareggio Cup?
«To my players. I dedicate this to them. Thanks to the kids we are doing brilliantly in the league, we have been invited to the Viareggio Cup, we are enjoying extensive coverage by the media. They have put me under the spotlight, and it's all thanks to them. This Viareggio Cup is for them, and for all the efforts and the work they are putting in during practices and matches».

Legalism: canonizing your scruples

Legalism: canonizing your scruples
—Cole Huffman, First Evangelical Church, Memphis, Tennessee
If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don't recommend Christianity.
—C. S. Lewis, God in the Dock
The unity of the Body of Christ is not a bland, undifferentiated uniformity, but a rich and manifold concord. Music is uniquely equipped to provide an aural image of this kind of community, in which union is not unanimity, nor multiplicity a cacophony. With every resonant sonority, music testifies to the possibility of this sort of life.
Music provides a compelling sounding image of life together; but it is a shared life in which the distinctive voice of the individual is not negated by communion with the other. In music, we encounter identity which preserves particularity. As we sing together, different sounds—your voice, and mine—occupy the same time and the same space, without obstructing or negating one another.
—Stephen R. Guthrie, "Singing, in the Body and in the Spirit," Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 46/4 (December 2003), 645, 643
"Greatness is equated [by the world, and by us too often] with doing something large, in a notable way, as fast as you can. That mindset is burning a lot of us out. But when we come to the gospel of Jesus, it's almost like He is saying, 'Follow Me, and learn to do small things, slowly, over a long period of time.'"
"We are taught to sprint . . . but most things that matter to us in life are marathons (marriage, relationships, vocation, skills)."
"We're trying to approach sacred things that take a long cultivation—we're trying to approach them with haste, speed—and it's not working for us."
"Words like 'haste' are associated with folly in Scripture; the words associated with wisdom are like 'waiting, patience.'"
–Zack Eswine
Grant us, we beseech Thee, Almighty and most merciful God, fervently to desire, wisely to search out and perfectly to fulfil, all that is well-pleasing unto Thee this day. Order Thou our worldly condition to the glory of Thy Name; and, of all that Thou requires us to do, grant us the knowledge, the desire, and the ability, that we may so fulfil it as we ought; and may our path to Thee, we pray, be safe, straightforward, and perfect to the end.
Give us, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; give us an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give us an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon us also, O Lord our God, understanding to know Thee, diligence to seek Thee, wisdom to find thee, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace Thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
–Thomas Aquinas
Blessèd Savior, Thee I love,
All my other joys above;
All my hopes in Thee abide,
Thou my Hope, and naught betide;
Ever let my glory be,
Only, only, only Thee.
Once again beside the cross,
All my gain I count but loss;
Earthly pleasures fade away,
Clouds they are that hide my day;
Hence, vain shadows! let me see
Jesus, crucified for me.
Blessèd Savior, Thine am I,
Thine to live, and Thine to die;
Height or depth, or creature power,
Ne'er shall hide my Savior more;
Ever shall my glory be,
Only, only, only Thee.
–George Duffield, 1851 (can be sung to the tune of "For the Beauty of the Earth")

I wasn't always living the life of a digital nomad, but getting used to this particular lifestyle took less than I thought it would – much, much less. You're either cut out for this… erm… line of work(?), or you're not, and I've been agreed with on this point with the vast majority of my peers. In fact, my transition from what I used to call my 'regular life' into the nomadic existence of a curious traveler was met with little difficulty, where I found the majority of related hardship boiling down to what I take with me on my travels.
A digital nomad is a way of life that's still in its infancy, owing to the fact that all the technological innovations required to live this way have existed for little over a decade. This list features items that I've found not tremendously helpful, but necessary for a digital nomad, and are, as such, things that I love having at my disposal.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 12 MP Micro Four-Thirds Mirrorless Digital Camera
This mouthful of an item is something I bring along wherever I go. Let's get something clear first: while you, as a digital nomad, are in equal parts a traveler and a professional, having a $1,000 smartphone isn't, and will never be, a replacement for a good camera. The thing with this piece of technological wonder from Panasonic is that it's way lighter than all the professional Nikons and Canons, yet it offers an arguably identical quality. Significantly cheaper and perfectly capable of producing breathtaking photos, this digital interchangeable lens system camera beats every smartphone by a long shot.
Yep, iPhone! A reliable and powerful phone goes a long way on travels (pun intended). Sure, there are many powerful alternatives among Androids, some of which even offer identical battery life, but an iPhone is guaranteed to meet all your requirements head-on. Sure, it's expensive, it might even be overpriced, but can you really put a price tag on something that can (sometimes literally) turn out to be a lifesaver? Make sure that your iPhone is factory unlocked so that you can swap SIM cards as you go, and no matter how desperate you are about maintaining a sleek look with your gadgets, find a rock-solid phone case. I opted for the 256GB version – just in case.
AKG N60NC Wireless
You have no idea how awesome having on-ear wireless headphones is until you've tried them. I know that there are a lot of options available out there, but active noise cancellation has become beyond necessary for me on long flights. I bought these awesome headphones in Australia a couple of months back, and I am beyond amazed – as a part-time musician who listens to everything from RnB to melodic death metal, I can tell you that these are a perfect choice.
MacBook Air
Yep, I'm still with Apple here. With reliability as their main selling point, Apple has managed to come up with their lightest MacBook yet that is perfect for digital nomads. Sometimes, I think that they actually came up with this model solely with our breed in mind. It comes with a built-in SD card reader, which means that you can store all your necessary files. Oh yeah, and do get a laptop stand – just trust me on this one.
Transcend StoreJet 2TB USB 3.0
Better have a sleek 2TB-external hard drive to complement your MacBook Air than get a bulky laptop – it's simply more convenient. The best thing about the StoreJet isn't its size or its capacity, not even its fast USB 3.0 connection; it's the military-grade shock resistance that it offers, which makes it a perfect companion for digital nomads.
Anker PowerCore 10000
I went on a month-long trip without a reliable portable power pack, and I'll never do it again! Granted, I was still a newbie nomad back then, but, the lack of battery life (and my resolve to buy a power bank back home) cost me two part-time jobs, made me miss 6 deadlines and turned what was meant to be a blissful, month-long Pacific-wide excursion into a 30-day constant battle with stress and anxiety. The Anker PowerCore 10000 offers 10,000 mAhs, and it is the smallest device in its league.
Honorable mention: GoPro
I'd feel guilty if I failed to put the GoPro on my list. I am so grateful for owning this marvelous piece of video technology (I got it for my birthday last year)! The amount of videos that I've made since receiving it is simply tremendous! I remember using it during my first parachute jump, on the headstock of my bass guitar on a gig and during many excursions. I don't go anywhere without it!

Suicide Squad Review!
Directed by David Ayer, Suicide Squad, follows Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) in a post Superman world as a agent so deep within the U.S. government that she has the ability to pull together a team of DC villains (Deadshot, Harley Quinn, El Diablo, Killer Croc, & Captain Boomerang, just to name a few) by planting a exploding device in their heads and force them to be the black ops answer to all the potential meta-human threats now that the Man of Steel is currently taking a dirt nap. Waller is forced to activate the Suicide Squad to evacuate an important figurehead from a nearby city that is being overrun by a new magical force intent on destroying the world.
For the most part Suicide Squad looks to deliver on what DC promised in it's rather brilliant marketing plan until you the film starts to unfold. Will Smith, who plays the can't miss assassin Deadshot, is a return to his prior form of movie star, as he really takes a hold of this character and runs with it. While some people were complaining about the race of the character (Deadshot is actually white) I was more worried if Smith could actually pull off playing a man who murders people for money but he did more then pull his weight and I would be up to a Deadshot movie now.
Everything you thought about Margot Robbie is true, there are times she stumbles with the character, her accent goes in and out, but for the most part Robbie really owns the role of Harley Quinn and it will be interesting to watch her grow with the character in future movies as she was the real heart behind the film. As for the rest of the cast everyone showed up to work. Jay Hernandez is unrecognizable as El Diablo and is one of the cooler characters, Karen Fukuhara as Katana is a real bad ass, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agba makes Killer Croc into a really menacing creature, I believed that Joel Kinnman could really control and lead the worst of the worst as Rick Flag, even Jai Courtney was entertaining.
Cara Delevingne was pretty amazing as Dr. Moon/The Enchantress until they did something with her character and she started to remind me the fairy godmother from Cinderella and gave her best bippity boppity boo impression. The biggest disappointment comes in Jared Leto as The Joker. When the stills and screen shots were released I was confident that Leto would be able to supersede Heath Ledger but as of right now it's safe to say Ledger is still the reigning champ.
I'm willing to cut some slack since he's hardly in the movie, now that we know most of his scenes were cut out, but there were some glaring problems in this incarnation which I noticed by the way Leto would growl in every scene and it was clear he was having a hard time talking through the grill he had in his mouth the entire film. I would like to see just how crazy he can get in future installments, mainly in the Ben Affleck directed Batman flick which is coming down the pipeline especially since Batman is one of the best thing about this film and he has less screen time then Leto. The entire film reeks of too many hands trying to make the family dinner and it's at this point WB/DC really needs to wake up.
It's at this point you start to zero on the real problem of this film. What started out as a fun ride with some of DC's classic villains takes a complete and very quick nose dive as it enters it's final act because it has too much going on and feels very bloated in scope and I found myself wondering whey didn't they scale it down and have this non-super powered villains go against a terrorist group. Batman is supposed to be out searching for the meta-humans so why not have them have to stop someone like Black Mask from trying to take over a section of Gotham, or maybe stop him from trying to take over Arkham Asylum which would have been a good place to have Leto's Joker and create the right conflict for Harley.
After watching Man of Steel, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and now Suicide Squad I've come to the conclusion, in order to salvage something from these films, is to look at them as a means to study and show exactly what not to do when making a comic book movie. Man of Steel is a lesson on not hiring a director that doesn't get/like the character you're making a movie about. BvS would be a perfect example in demonstrating the failures of not keeping your script simple and do not mash too much into your movie to the point that you end up cutting out important scenes that completely alter characters behavior and motivations, only to add them back in to have your film make sense. Finally, we have Suicide Squad, which is a perfect example of how editing can make or break your film.
If you're dead set on watching this film no matter what like I was, then nothing is going to stop you, go to the theater, see it for yourself, but if you're on the fence I would recommend to just wait and rent it. It's not a complete waste of time but this is not film WB/DC needed right now.

I'm sure they don't put the used bath water into the washing machines like many Japanese families do, do they?

February 19, 2010 at 10:17 pm (Japanese baths and onsen hot springs, Japanese kitchens, Japanese medicine)
… along with plasters and such-like. "Is a Band Aid food??" is the question I keep asking my wife and asked my students when we had this discussion, which in fact started with their question "Why do the British and Americans keep medicines in the bathroom?"
My wife's explanation is that bathrooms in Japan (and here in Korea) tend to get very steamy and mouldy. Most bathrooms I've had in both countries have also not had a conveniently sized cabinet to put them in, maybe for the same reason. The only explanation I could come up with for us Brits putting it in the bathroom is that taking medicine is a private thing that you want to do with the door locked. Anyone know what less privacy obsessed Westerners like the Spanish and Italians do?
There could also be more of a connection between food and medicine in East Asia, most clearly seen in China with its medicinal wines, soups for different disorders etc. Think the practical factors above are probably more important though.

What makes it acceptable is the habit of standing around starkers in the onsen hot spring changing room to let the heat disipate and the moisture not mopped off by the tiny towel dry off. If you are doing it front of the mirror while clenching your stomach muscles, well, same difference…
March 7, 2008 at 1:34 am (Japan and the UK, Japanese bars- akachochin/ mamasan bars, Japanese baths and onsen hot springs, Japanese conversation topics, Japanese food and drink, Japanese freetime and hobbies, Japanese magazines, Japanese publications, Karaoke, okonomiyaki, Yakiniku)
Me and a student of mine were pondering on this for ages and then came up with the same answer at the same time- it's mainly used as a conversation starter, e.g. for a new couple or colleagues groping their way towards a friendship nervously discussing where they should go away for a weekend trip. This realisation of how difficult the Japanese find conversation (even more than the British- see "Watching the English" for details), has been the biggest of all naruhodo moments for me. It explains the popularity of hostess bars, food that keeps your hands busy like yakiniku and okonomiyaki, akachochin mama san bars, karaoke, the endless talk about food and the weather, getting naked with your colleagues in a bath where it's too hot to speak, limiting discussion of your holiday to the exchange of souvenirs, etc etc etc

I had been suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for about five years when a friend recommended that I check out Tracie Hittman Nutrition. I didn't follow through at first. I had been tested for a whole list of disorders, including Crohn's and Celiac, and all were negative. I had also tried several medications—the doctors I had seen just didn't have any answers. I had lost hope for establishing any normalcy to my digestive system, but since I felt the urge to stab myself in the stomach every evening to relieve pain/pressure, I decided that I didn't have anything to lose and signed up for a Nutrition 101 seminar.
Michelle's Story
I was hooked by the information and message that Tracie had to offer. As a chemist I knew that foods are generally highly processed with a lot of 'junk', but I had never considered alternative, natural options. I signed up for one-on-one sessions with Tracie, made immediate diet changes, and embraced the rules. I noticed an immediate improvement, which really motivated me to keep up with these lifestyle changes. I LOVE Tracie! She was there to help me work through each of my issues and help me discover my 'trigger' foods, including gluten. I do still have the occasional 'IBS flare-up', but I usually know when to expect it, and it is manageable rather than debilitating. My quality of life has improved greatly as a result of working with Tracie! I no longer fear what affect my food will have, but enjoy preparing quality, healthy, and balanced meals. Plus, I lost 5 pounds even though I increased my cheese and ice cream consumption, so bonus there as well. 🙂

27 May 1966
Chief Executive Officer
Mixed Martial Artist
|Years active
|2 sons
Ben R. Neumann (born Bernd Neumann; 27 May 1966 in Krefeld, Germany) is an American entrepreneur, investor, film producer and mixed martial artist, best known for founding early Internet hosting service Internet Communication Icom.com, and his subsequent investments into companies such as iBoost.com, Globat.com[permanent dead link], FatCow.com[permanent dead link] and his work in the motion picture industry. Some of Ben's more recent ventures are the content delivery networks NetDNA,[1][2] MaxCDN and HDDN, which he co-founded together with business partner and protégé Chris Ueland in October 2009. In 2011, through his consulting firm Innovative Currency, Ben ventured outside the technology field and created his unique coaching programs InspireMoreHeroes and MillionairesMentor.
Neumann, a former bodyguard, and avid martial artist since second grade, who grew up in Krefeld, Germany in a working-class family, immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1994. While working on his martial arts career and after winning several mixed martial arts tournaments, he successfully built and sold his first U.S.-based technology company Icom.com at the pinnacle of the Dot-com bubble in 1998, a move that made him one of the original Internet pioneers. He subsequently began investing into other technology and real estate companies and became involved with film making in Los Angeles in early 2004, when he was approached by an independent filmmaker. The result of this partnership was Dark World,[3] starring Michael Pare and Theresa Russell. Neumann also produced or was involved with other notable films and TV shows, such as American Idol,[4] The Apprentice,[5] Grey's Anatomy,[6] House M.D.,[7] Only in LA, You, Me, Love[8] and Smile of April.[9] He continues to invest in local niche companies and has become an engaged community activist. In March 2006 Neumann was elected to the Board of the Studio City Neighborhood Council and was President of the Council from March 2008 until June 2010.
As a successful immigrant entrepreneur, Neumann has been quoted off-line and online in numerous ezines,[10] magazines and books.[11] For his achievements in the technology sector he has been nominated for Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2000 and 2003.

Meet the Artist: Malika Favre
August 3, 2017
Meet the Artist: Malika Favre
August 3, 2017
French-born, London-based artist Malika Favre has a distinct style, using color to define positive and negative space that's somehow both stark and subtle—and decidedly evocative. Case in point: A recent cover illustration for The New Yorker spawned a movement to replicate the image in real life.
Malika's work can be found all over the world, from Vogue to the Montreux Jazz Festival, and now on Lincoln Center's campus, where Mozart's iconic portrait has been reinterpreted for the Mostly Mozart Festival.
First "design" memory?
The Pink Floyd cover of Dark side of the Moon. My parents loved them and I was fascinated by that cover as a kid.
Top three influences, design or otherwise?
René Gruau, Guy Bourdin, my mother.
Hidden talent?
Filing tax returns. I love it.
Favorite museum?
The Barbican in London. Greatness inside and outside.
Visual artist you always return to for inspiration?
Shigeo Fukuda.
Favorite book or movie?
Antigone by Jean Anouilh. The Beat That My Heart Skipped by Jacques Audiard.
Favorite musician/performer?
Beth Gibbons's voice and Chilly Gonzales's stage presence.
Inspiration for this year's Mostly Mozart artwork?
A painting of Mozart himself.
Favorite font?
Music (if so, what?) or silence while you work?
Top three pieces of advice for aspiring artists?
Work hard. Be nice. Travel a lot.
Designer you'd most like to meet, past or present?
First time you realized you wanted to be a designer?
I can't remember a specific time. It was obvious from the start I think.
What you wish someone had told you when you were starting out?
No matter how great a project sounds on paper, in the end it all depends on the people you deal with.
Tips for staying current?
Be genuine.
You hope your designs evoke the feeling . . . ?
Joy and beauty.
What do you want to be when you "grow up"?
A cook or a singer.

Hello everyone!
I'm really into unusial activities. Nowadays extreme sports are popular all over the world.
My friend and I are especially surprised how people can be so fearless.
I would like to try extreme sports soon. In my opinion rafting is a unique and interesting sport because it is so fun and breathtaking. Also white water rafting is an exciting sport and it can be practiced with family members and friends.
In your video you showed us many beautiful and fascinating moments.That made me dream someday to test myself in rafting
Parkour is also popular around the world today. And my city is no exception. We even have several training grounds. I think safe parkour is good for health because it develops good control over our body. It is very interesting and stirring but I would not want to test myself in this sport.

Packed with wild parks, natural wonders and ancient temples – it is amazing that South-East Asia has so few (just 37) UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We pick our favourites, plus some must-see sights yet to gain recognition.Lying prostrate aboard an old wooden junker, peering out across the emerald waters as jungle-covered precipices rear out of nowhere isn't the only way to experience Cat Ba Island's Halong Bay – it remains among the best, though. These limestone karst pillars aren't unique to Vietnam, but nowhere on Earth is their scale so dramatic, sprouting some 1,600 spines from the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin, birthing towering islands and islets out of bounds to all but the native seabirds that have made them home.
The site was first inscribed by UNESCO in 1994. Twenty-something years later, little has changed except how to see them and the increasing numbers of those who have. The slow-screw of erosion has notched hidden caves and dramatic arches into many of its rises. Kayak out for a more intimate look at the likes of Thien Cung, famed for its impressive stalagmites and stalactites; or drift past oysters farms and floating villages – ramshackle constructions linked by trembling walkways – to seek out secret beaches away from the boat-going hordes.

It all comes down to transparency
THE LEGACY of the Big Dig is a dramatic improvement in the transportation, aesthetics, and vitality of Boston, and a substantial infusion of federal funding into the regional economy during the 1990s. I am proud to have served as Governor Dukakis's secretary of transportation in developing the concept and the transparency of process that Dukakis required:
■ Extensive public participation in developing the plan, including its transit commitments, both to comply with environmental law and to build the coalition of support necessary to sustain the project;
■ A two-year process led by the city considering four different plans for knitting the city together, which led to the Rose Kennedy Greenway;
■ An increase in the gas tax in 1988 to ensure funding for statewide roadway and transit improvements;
■ An independent review of project finance with the participation of the primary business organizations, to be sure there were sufficient funds to build the Big Dig project and also revenue streams to maintain it after construction.
Eventually, the Big Dig schedule dramatically slipped, and the cost ultimately increased by 250 percent. Roadway and transport projects in the rest of the state fell far behind, significant quality and safety problems emerged, and the Greenway implementation has been hampered by a lack of follow-through on engineering consistent with the parks and civic buildings that were carefully planned in the 1980s.
What happened?
1. In 1991, President George H.W. Bush persuaded Congress to cap what had been for decades a 90 percent federal share of interstate highway projects, shifting 100 percent of any cost increases to the state. This made staying on-time and within budget even more critical.
2. Although the Dukakis administration had secured environmental approval of the Charles River Bridge after an intense controversy, Governor Weld decided to revisit this decision (over the objections of his public works commissioner), causing a delay of nearly four years, increasing cost by over $1 billion, and leading to the curved underground ramps that caused several fatalities later. Other additions of tunnel and viaduct, plus delay-related inflation, further increased costs.
3. Weld took the position that we don't need to rely on public managers. So transportation appointees were supposed to manage the Big Dig as well as $400 million annually on other projects, with an ever-decreasing number of public sector managers.
By 1996, the damage had been done and the project was headed for a $15 billion price tag. Weld should have disclosed to the public the new costs and changed federal formula, and increased the local contribution to 50 percent, using either state surplus funds or an increased gas tax. Instead, the administration chose to mislead the public on the size of the problem, failed to complete critical elements, and passed the costs to our children by borrowing against not-yet existing federal funds.
The central issue comes down to transparency. Today, we are enjoying the benefits of the Big Dig, but unless an aggressive preventative maintenance program is adhered to, and transit improvements are completed, congestion will return and the cost to our children will grow. It will take competent public leadership to complete the work, and full disclosure of costs to develop the necessary support.
Frederick P. Salvucci is former secretary of transportation.

Security Bug Bounty Program: We Want A Bulletproof Komodo
Technology can never be secure enough, and SuperNET believes that working with experienced security researchers across the globe is crucial in identifying weaknesses in any technology. If you find a security issue in our platform, we encourage you to notify us. We welcome working with you to resolve the issue promptly.
Disclosure Policy
- Let us know as soon as possible upon discovery of a potential security issue, and we'll make every effort to resolve the issue quickly.
- Give us a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue before making any disclosure to the public or a third-party.
- Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and interruption or degradation of our service. Only interact with accounts you own or with the explicit permission of the account holder.
- Public disclosure of vulnerability makes it ineligible for a bounty.
- If you report an attack vector must be able to demonstrate it in test net.
- To receive the bounty in full we also expect you to help us resolve the security issue, if necessary. The issue must be patched and deployed in the field before we pay any bounty. If an attacker exploits the bug before it is fixed we will not pay the bounty.
- Issues that are already known about are not eligible for a bounty reward. We keep a record of all known attack vectors.
While researching, we'd like to ask you to refrain from:
- Denial of service.
- Spamming.
- Social engineering (including phishing) of SuperNET staff or contractors.
- Any physical attempts against SuperNET property or data centers.
- Actively exploiting SuperNET or Komodo applications.
The Security Bounty
For now, our bug bounty program is limited to security bugs only, but if someone finds some other critical vulnerability, e.g. related to privacy, then we may discuss the possibility of a bounty. We define a security bug to be something which affects the blockchain, emission of KMD, economic damage, financial loss or other critical areas. Contact us if you are not sure.
The security bugs are divided into several groups depending on their severity. The decision about the severity of each bug and the final bounty size is decided entirely between the SuperNET development and security team members.
Hunt bugs either from Komodo or Iguana Core:
- Iguana Core: github.com/jl777/SuperNET/
- Komodo: github.com/jl777/komodo
Bug bounties are paid either in BTC or KMD, depending on your preference.
SuperNET and Komodo team members are not eligible for a bounty.
Thank you for helping keep SuperNET and our users safe! Happy hunting!
Known Security Vulnerabilities These addresses are generated by hashing a description of a security vulnerability. They can be used to prove that a reported vulnerability was already known by our team.

Winter Solstice Total Lunar Eclipse
Not since 1638 has a total lunar eclipse coincided with the Winter Solstice. Tuesday Dec. 21 is our shortest day of the year – the beginning of winter. Between Monday night and Tuesday morning the earth's shadow will totally engulf the Moon from 2:41AM to 3:53AM EST. Unlike a solar eclipse, it is safe to view a lunar eclipse with the naked eye or binoculars, both work well. All it takes is a good alarm clock and a clear sky. For the 72 minutes of totality, you will notice a second deeper night. Stars that were hidden by moonshine will appear. The moon may take on a reddish glow. This is the result of the reflection onto the moon from the ring of Earth's sunrises and sunset. The Earth's atmospheric conditions really are the key to the eclipse's color. Only on rare occasions will the Moon go black. The next total lunar eclipse to appear in our area is not until April 14-15 2014. If you want more information about this event, go to Sky and Telescope's website at www.skyandtelescope.com. Picture credit Science NASA News.

Gingerbread - A short history
Our Gingerbread House Workshop carries on a long European tradition. In 992 the Armenian monk Gregory of Nicopolis started teaching French priests the art of baking with the exotic spice ginger. At first it was used for easing indigestion and religious ceremonies. As the spice became more available, it was discovered ginger had a preservative quality for pastries and cakes. An early European recipe created a paste which was pressed into carved wooden molds. Originally these were like story boards which told through pictures the news of the day. Or they may have reflected the likeness of the ruling royals or been religious symbols (like the one above). Then the finished hard "cookie" might have been iced to bring out the details in the relief. In the 1500s, the English altered the recipe and created a lighter product. Crumbled, it was added to meat to cover up the decaying smell. Queen Elizabeth I is credited with creating the first gingerbread man when she presented some visiting dignitaries with gingerbread biscuits in their likeness.
Gingerbread soon became a popular treat at fairs where "biscuits" were sold in all shapes and sizes.

-Obviously a game for fans made by fans with help from the original team and cast
-Amusing dialogue and characters with good voice acting
-Glad to see new scenarios and not just a rehash of the movies' plots
-Wraps up the story with subtle hints to ties with future episodes in addition to the cliffhanger
-The timeless soundtrack. Of course
-Clunky controls, unstable framerate
-Although expected: Easy and short
Telltale Games has been making a name for itself by taking beloved franchises of different degrees and turning them into episodic point and click adventures. They started off humbly with Sam & Max and then Strong Bad, but are now turning to large movie franchises that have a place firmly in most of our hearts from early childhood.
In addition to the upcoming Jurassic Park games, Telltale has just released episode one of Back to the Future: The Game titled "It's About Time" on PC, Mac, and PS3. I played it on PS3, and have no point of comparison for the other versions.
Anyway, the game starts with a nod to a classic scene from the original timeless (or timeFULL) movie, but quickly moves on to a fresh plot that takes place after the events from the trilogy. This was a big relief for me. I love the movies, but a retelling with such a different medium would likely not be very successful.
The first thing I noticed after a new plot was the voicework. While I knew that Christopher Lloyd was returning to voice Doc Brown, I was very impressed by the rest of the voice cast who had to imitate the iconic voices from the movie. A.J. Locascio does a fantastic job with Marty, and I was perhaps even more impressed by the work done by Michael X. Sommers who voiced George McFly. It was easy to tell that it was very important to the developers to recreate the treasured atmosphere from the movies.
In that vein, this episode seems particularly set on making the game feel right at home within the franchise cannon. Throwbacks and settings in the opening scenes have enough nostalgia for the entire 5 episode series.
In terms of the new content, the dialogue options are largely plentiful and largely quite funny. It's worth it to not progress the story – even when you know how to – just to hear all the things the characters have to say.
Beyond that, however, it's never really a challenge to figure out how to continue. Anyone with a little bit of experience with point and click adventures will have the common sense to know which items to use with what and what to do next. Still, this could be a product of an introductory episode, and it's not as if the experience wasn't enjoyable.
In fact, the only time I didn't enjoy my time with the game was when Marty would start walking in a way I didn't expect, have weird collision detection, or when the game had some serious framerate hiccoughs. The game looks fine visually, but I can't imagine it's taxing enough on the PS3 hardware to justify such lag. But this is a pattern I've seen with most Telltale games, so I imagine it's just a result of some coding not being as tight as it could be.
That being said, the lag isn't constant, and it's hardly enough to be a major point against the game.
It's About Time is a very satisfying Back to the Future game. It's not about action, but – strangely – neither were the movies, really. It supports itself with wacky characters, memorable dialogue, and ridiculous time-travel scenarios. The point-and-click format can be a little frustrating, but it's ultimately a great fit for the franchise, and this first episode shows a lot of promise for the next 4. And if Telltale follows in their own footsteps, the episodes will only get better from here.

Okay, first things first – I should point out that this film was first released about a year ago under the title of The Unexplained Disappearance of Karla Marks…
So sorry if you got your hopes up about finding a new Found Footage film – cos' it ain't one!
Anyway, I made the mistake of thinking this was a new release when I was recommended it, but at least I got two separate viewings of it, months apart, to make a more balanced judgement.
The Plot
Karla Marks mysteriously vanishes while conducting a paranormal investigation with her husband. A year after her disappearance, a group of paranormal investigators attempt to uncover the truth about her disappearance.
Full Marks For Effort, But…
…This wasn't exactly a memorable Found Footage movie!
It does sound a little harsh but the movie failed to move me in the right directions and largely underwhelms, BUT it is a lot better than some of the shit I've sat through recently!
Doesn't exactly paint the genre in a positive shade, does it?
All is not lost though – the director, Kurtis Spieler, has put a lot of effort into the 'half and half' mockumentary/Found Footage setup for this film, so it's definitely watchable.
I just didn't find it scary, or compelling, at all…
Which is kinda the main idea behind a horror film…
The first part of Devil's Well is shot in the mockumentary format and the climax/conclusion/ending switches over to Found Footage format – it does this part of the project pretty well (no pun intended!).
If I had to get a bit picky with the mockumentary segment – I'd say that maybe it runs a bit dry after about 20 minutes or so.
The first ten minutes work fine but then we slide into relatives describing Karla's personality or detailing her relationship with her husband. It starts to grind a little bit leaving the watcher questioning the decision behind it's inclusion in the movie…
Maybe to kill off a few more minutes of running time?
The cast of unknown names do a pretty good job throughout this mockumentary portion, and probably convince the viewer to keep on watching through to the end…
But they can't 100% keep the boredom at bay.
The final 'half' of the film, the Found Footage section, is set a year after the original 'incident'.
Now, this final section is made up of shots of a room…with a hole in it…and a looped corridor system that the filmmakers have tried their best to stretch out!
There's only so much tension you can build up with this small a location…and there's only so much footage you can attribute to it.
This means that we have to spend the middle portion of the movie watching a paranormal team set up their equipment and go through pointless banter…
The type of things we expect at the START of a Found Footage movie.
By the time we get to the juicy bits the film was starting to feel a little drawn out – you could probably of cut 15 – 20 minutes off the run time without effecting the project as a whole.
As I touched on above – this was actually an above average micro-budget Found Footage movie. Over the last 12 months or so I've sat through some complete shit – some of it so bad that I didn't even include it on this site!
The Devil's Well is head and shoulders above this tripe – because the filmmakers have tried their best to stick to a winning horror formula.
Keep that in mind when you give it a whirl…

If looks could kill you would be an uzi, you're a shotgun – bang! what's up with that thang, I wanna know, how does it hang? Straight up, wait up, hold up Mr. Lover, like Prince said you're a sexy mother….
Angelina Jolie, of the Jolie-Pitt dynasty, took the children out to see Mary Poppins in New York City over the weekend. I'm not sure if they went to see the play or if Ang (that's what I call her) just paid Julie Andrews hundreds of thousands of dollars to jump off the roof with an umbrella in her hand. It' a real toss up at this point.
Seriously, I hope as soon as they got back in their van she told those kids that if they keep making faces like that they're going to freeze that way for life.
Angelina is still in NYC filming her upcoming spy-thriller film, "Salt." In this film she sports bangs so, well, I'm sure this transformation will get her an Oscar nom. Every time I see a photo of Ang all I can hear is her yelling, "I want MY son back!"

Robert Downey Jr. Weighs In on Hollywood-China Ties
Is Hollywood doing too much to win over Chinese audiences?
Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr. says maybe so. In an interview this weekend with China Real Time, the star of the upcoming film "Iron Man 3" said, "If businesses are involved, probably too much, if personal interests were involved, you can't do enough."
International film companies should be doing more to understand Chinese culture, Mr. Downey said at a marketing event for the film's release in China, arguing that news outlets often portray China in a light that does not match the view on the ground.

Keep It Simple
Tucson, AZ, WPH Press, 8/13/18– Two-time R48 champion Mando Ortiz is the game's most explosive player, capable of ending rallies from anywhere on the court with highlight reel kills. Watch Ortiz for 10 minutes and you'll see more one-inch high kill shots than you've ever seen in your life, combined. The late great David Chapman once said about Ortiz, "He's the only guy I've ever seen consistently flat roll the ball out from 38 feet with either hand."
Ortiz will be competing in his first World Championships in the open bracket in Minnesota, an opportunity that means so much to the Los Angeles Athletic Club star. "I am thrilled and pumped to be attending the Worlds and finally being competing in the open bracket for the first time. It means everything to me. When I young I just wanted to compete for my country. The last time I competed at worlds it was in Edmonton, Canada, where I slammed the 17's. Being here is a gift."
To prepare for a deep run in Minnesota, Ortiz has focused on court time and his diet. "I prepared myself pretty well, playing handball three times per week and eating properly, which is my biggest demon of all. Balancing working nights the past three months and training has been tough, but no excuses.
Not usually much of a draw follower, Ortiz has taken notice of next week's outstanding men's open singles draw. "This is arguably the toughest draw, to my knowledge. This is the toughest draw I will encounter in my history of handball and I am thrilled. Hearing the Irish have a powerhouse group of true elite players always inspires to be better mentally and physically."
Ortiz's strategy is to keep it simple. "You need to take matches one by one. It's critical to pace yourself for tougher matches later in the draw. Play my game and hope I will finish on top. I don't put any pressure on myself. I just go in there and play my game and do the best I can do. I've been in many big matches over the past and that will help next week."
The LAAC's top ranked R48 pro sees a number of players capable of leaving Minnesota with the world title. "Since this is the strongest bracket, I feel there's multiple players can win. I feel the Irish are the biggest threat of all. But truly I am my own biggest threat."
Matching the intensity of his biggest rivals will be a key for the former high school star running back. "No doubt I will play a Irish that is hungry for the title and I am excited to see new players in the mix."
The last time Ortiz played in Minnesota he won the 2016 Minnesota R48, obliterating a strong field en route to snatching the R48 #1 ranking. Ortiz will kickoff his first open singles match at the World Championships against Minnesota's Donovan Foley and will likely face Ireland's young star Colin Crehan in the round of 16. Should Ortiz overcome Crehan, 2018 All Ireland champion Martin Mulkerrins will be waiting in the quarterfinals. "I won't change my approach or change my game regardless of who I play. I feel my game is strong enough to win against any style."
Age: 10/21/1988
Height: 5'6
Hometown: Norwalk, CA
Residence: Norwalk, CA
Strong hand: Right
Home court: Los Angeles Athletic Club
Favorite athlete: Juan Manuel Marquez (boxer)
Favorite pre-match music: Kendrick Lamar/Black Sabbath/System of the Down/Game
Best/favorite shot: rollouts
Highest Race 4 Eight Ranking: #1
Strengths: two-handed offense, power, serve, ability to end rallies with either hand from anywhere on the court
Summary: Mando Ortiz demonstrated the ability to play with the best players in the world as a teenager, defeating then #1 Allan Garner and a host of other top players before turning 20. Ortiz experienced heart palpitations in his early 20's and had open-heart surgery in 2010. Ortiz came back stronger than ever, defeating R48 #1 Paul Brady twice since 2014 and winning his first R48 title in January of 2016 in Houston by defeating four current or former WPH #1 pros en route to the title. Because of his ability to flat kill the ball from anywhere on the court with both hands and his magnetic personality, Ortiz is a fan-favorite and a player's nightmare, possessing the ability to take the game out of the hands of the world's best by serving and shooting his way to victory

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the soft tissues of the mouth and the underlying jawbone which supports the teeth. A dentist must first graduate from an accredited dental school before undertaking an additional three years of study within a periodontology residency training program, in order to qualify as a periodontist.
The primary focus of this residency training is on both surgical and non surgical management of periodontal disease and the placement of dental implants.
Conditions Treated by a Periodontist
The periodontist is mainly concerned with: preventing the onset of gum disease (periodontal disease); diagnosing conditions affecting the gums and jawbone; and treating gingivitis, periodontitis, and bone loss. Periodontal disease is a progressive condition and the leading cause of tooth loss among adults in the developed world.
The periodontist is able to treat mild, moderate and advanced gum disease by first addressing the bacterial infection at the root of the problem, providing periodontal treatment, then providing information and education on good oral hygiene and the effective cleaning of the teeth.
The most common conditions treated by a periodontist are:
Treatments Performed by a Periodontist
The periodontist is able to perform a wide range of treatments to halt the progression of gum disease, replace missing teeth and make the appearance of the smile more aesthetically pleasing.
Here are some of the treatments commonly performed by the periodontist:
The periodontist is a highly skilled dental health professional who is able to diagnose and treat many commonly occurring soft tissue and bone problems in the oral cavity.
Please contact our office if you have any questions or concerns.
In the past five (5) years I visited several dentist. Mainly because of insurance company changes through my employer, and a couple that had bad service and / or polices...I first met Dr. Phen as a customer of Roseville Toyota's service department. I was the Shuttle Driver there, one afternoon I drove him back to his office. At that time he was my grandson's dentist... I am happy to say that Dr. Phen's services are excellent, and his staff...I hold you in high regards, triple AAA+. you're great...Thank you...Happy Holiday's Sincerely Joseph Silva

The Book Of Man: Readings On The Path To Manhood
By: William J. Bennett
The Book Of Man was actually quite good. William Bennett overall has produced some very good books (at least the ones I've read). This book is in line with his better works. This book, obviously, is geared towards men. It covers topics such as war, work and women. The book has little writing by Bill Bennett himself but is mostly composed of exerts from prominent men of the past ranging from Ronald Reagan to Aristotle to Alexis De Tocqueville to George Washington to G.K. Chesterton to William Bennett himself. It's enjoyable not only from a practical every day life perspective for men of today but also from a historical perspective. It sets forth a high standard for men to attain and calls them to higher responsibility and integrity. The one disclaimer I'll place is that because it's all various quotes it doesn't have the smooth flow of a regular book. So it may not be that enjoyable for some. If that is so consider reading it as a devotional (though I don't know how many entries it has exactly so it may take a long time to get through devotionally). Anyways, I recommend it for all men. Definitely a great read.

So I have a double whammy today. First, since it's strawberry season here in Mississippi, here's a quick little three ingredient recipe idea.
You will need some Nutella, fresh strawberries, and some good bread, like say a loaf of ciabatta (my preference) or maybe a loaf of French bread. Cut the bread into slices and toast on a baking sheet under the broiler until golden brown. Spread some Nutella on the bread, then top with sliced strawberries. Place under the broiler just until the strawberries are warm and start to sizzle. (This is tricky because if you don't watch it, the Nutella can get black really quick. A kitchen torch would be so much better for this job if you have one.)
I'm telling you, my daughter and I just love this and it's so quick and easy. You could even use a whole grain bread to bump up the nutrition factor, but I prefer a chewy bread.
Alright, here's one of my latest recipes, White Bean and Roasted Veggie Chimichangas with Three-Cheese Sauce. I seriously need to incorporate vegetables into my diet, but I struggle with this. I loved the way this turned out the other day. These chimichangas could be topped with something much less fattening than a cheese sauce, but I wanted something creamy and rich on them to cut all the healthy. Just kidding. Can you tell I need a diet makeover? But yes, they could be topped with something lighter like a salsa; however, there is nothing really Mexican about them except for the tortilla and the name. This would be a great recipe to make your own and stuff anything in them that you had in your refrigerator. These veggies are what I had in mine.
White Bean and Roasted Veggie Chimichangas with Three-Cheese Sauce
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium yellow squash, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
Nonstick cooking spray
8 large (10-12 inch) flour tortillas
Three cheese sauce:
1 1/4 cup whole milk, plus more to thin out if necessary
1 (8-ounce) container chive and onion cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup gorgonzola crumbles
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the zucchini, squash, bell pepper, and onion on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and thyme. Toss with hands to evenly coat, then spread into an even layer. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until vegetables start to get golden. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the cannellini beans.
Spray another large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat the tortillas in the microwave until they are warm and pliable. Place about 1/2 cup of the vegetable mixture into the center of one of the tortillas. Fold the right and left side of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the bottom edge over and roll up tightly. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Brush the chimichangas with the remaining tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Cook the milk and cream cheese in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted and smooth, whisking often. Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted, then stir in the gorgonzola. (If cheese sauce is too thick, thin out with a tablespoon of milk.)
To serve, place 2 chimichangas on each plate. Drizzle with the cheese sauce. 4 servings.

The wrong value proposition
It's surprisingly common that startups don't carry out enough research to back up the hypothesis around their idea. At times, they completely misunderstand the value proposition on which they build their product. In simple terms, they try to solve a problem which doesn't exist or can easily be solved with alternative solutions.
So, startups need to focus on clarifying what value their product creates by asking themselves these basic questions which should then be tested, initially, by a survey of the target market audience:
- What is the problem?
- Whose problem is it?
- How big is the problem?
- What value are we creating?
- Who would benefit from this value?
- Who would pay for this value?
- How much would they pay?
Innovify is an end to end digital product management company with a focus on startups. To learn more tips about avoiding the mistakes that startups make, read here.

A hotline between Afghanistan and Pakistan's military chiefs has been installed as a measure for containing cross-border conflict between the two neighbouring nations. The first call was placed on 30 December.
The hotline was a move to improve cross-border coordination and is the result of Pakistan's army chief Raheel Sharif's recent visit to Kabul.
"Hot line established between DGMOs (Director Generals of military operations) of both countries. First contact/call just made," Pakistan Army's spokesperson Asim Bajwa announced on Twitter.
The direct line communication comes after the meeting between Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, which was held to discuss peace talks between Taliban and Afghanistan, and would be mediated by Pakistan, reported AFP. Ghani has, in recent times, pushed for improved ties with the neighbouring country to restart the talks as insurgency in the country has increased manifold.
The first round of the conflict resolution talks took place in July, but fell through after Taliban announced the death of its leader Mullah Omar.
Pakistan, a known supporter of Taliban, has also been accused of permitting leaders of the militant group to function from its soil.
Recently, the Taliban took over the opium-rich Sangin district in Helmand province in Afghanistan, where the Afghan army is now battling them.
Taliban's aggressive push is being seen as a manoeuvre to tip the scales in their favour when peace talks ensue.
Afghanistan is also battling insurgents like Islamic State, al Qaeda, and other militants from China, Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and the Middle East, reported BBC.
An explosion rocked Kabul on 28 December killing one and injuring at least 31 near the airport and Taliban took responsibility for the suicide bomb attack in the capital.
In 2015, the capital city has been attacked multiple times by the militant group killing several people.
