Among the many things to see and do in Paris, a universal favorite is wandering around the arrondissements and discovering all of the uniquely charming boutiques. To narrow down the overwhelming range of shopping options in the French fashion capital, we asked designers and stylists for their go-to magasins and favorite hidden gems. So whether you're heading to the City of Light for the grand finale of fashion month or just planning a fromage-filled voyage there this fall, here are seven chic shops you won't want to miss.
Isaac Reina
Barcelona-born Isaac Reina crafts simple yet incredibly soft and luxurious bags and small leather goods for his eponymous line, and the full collection can only be found in his Right Bank store. [LD Tuttle] (http://ldtuttle.com/) designer Tiffany Tuttle loves to visit the boutique for this very reason: "It's a very hard-to-find brand. In their store, you can see the whole collection in all different colors, and the person in there is so happy and willing to show you all of the details that make their bags special." The boutique is tiny, but its sleek, minimalist design reflects the overall aesthetic of the brand and is a welcome respite from the white noise of the city's visuals. "In Paris, everyone really seems to put so much into their stores so that they really tell a complete story about the brand; I especially appreciate this," says Tuttle. 12 Rue de Thorigny, isaacreina.com.

We have learned from three mothers what requirements they place on vacuum cleaners, and made sure that the Dyson V6, V7 and V8 cordless vacuum cleaners meet all expectations.
"My daughter is allergic to dust. A little bit, it starts to sneeze and eyes water.
I do the cleaning every day, but it doesn't always help. " Elena, 25 years old
In this case, the revenue will come vacuum cleaner Dyson V8. Its patented cyclone system and powerful digitally controlled engine will not leave a single chance for dust. Dyson V8 and Dyson V7 Animalpro cordless vacuum cleaners have installed post-motor filters that trap fine dust, bacteria and allergens up to 0.3 microns in size with an efficiency up to 99.97%.
This means that Dyson V8 removes the smallest dust consisting of microscopic skin flakes, dust mites, particles of books and newspapers. Dyson vacuum cleaner keeps everything collected inside and releases only clean air, which is especially important if someone in the family suffers from allergies.
In addition, Dyson V8 boasts excellent suction power for cordless vacuum cleaners (and the highest among all wireless Dyson models). Like all models of this family, Dyson V8 is equipped with a removable tube and easily transformed into a portable gadget for easy cleaning from floor to ceiling, including hard-to-reach places.
At the same time, the maximum number of additional nozzles for cleaning any surfaces in the house is included with the vacuum cleaner – be it an exhaust grille, keyboard, mattress, space between furniture or bookshelves. Dust won't have a chance to hide! The operating time of the device (up to 40 minutes) allows you to abandon other vacuum cleaners and carry out both daily and full-fledged general cleaning only with the help of Dyson V8.
An ideal model for perfectionists.
"I joke that I have five children, not counting my husband: two sons, a daughter, a dog and a budgie. The old vacuum cleaner could not stand the volume of work. " Maria, 38 years old
To ensure the strength of vacuum cleaners, Dyson specialists test them up to 50,000 hours. The battery charge of wireless models is guaranteed enough to clean the entire apartment.
A space design should attract older children and a husband. They will still argue whose turn it is to help you with the cleaning!
Pet owners should pay special attention to the Dyson V7 Animalpro model, complete with a mini electric brush for upholstered furniture and pet grooming. Universal nozzle, which is equipped with all models of Dyson V7, effectively cleans carpets from stubborn dirt and animal fur.
Hard nylon bristles penetrate deep into the carpet, and soft antistatic carbon fiber bristles collect fine dust from hard surfaces.
"My son is five years old, my daughter is three years old. The period of creativity and active knowledge of the world.
For me, a compact vacuum cleaner, always ready to come to the rescue, is not a luxury but a means of survival. " Kristina, 36 years old
With Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners, there is no need to set aside a special cleaning time. For example, using even the most basic model Dyson V6 is so easy to maintain cleanliness in the apartment on a permanent basis!
And this is very important when there are small children in the family. The vacuum cleaner is always at hand – it is stored on the docking station, which is attached to the wall, so it is always charged and ready to go.
It does not matter if the children cut the bread under the table or scatter pieces of paper. Do not get a bulky unit from the cabinet and get confused in the wires.
Light, compact and manoeuvrable, the Dyson V6 easily handles scattered cereals, small pieces of paper, and crumbs in the kitchen or sand in the hallway. It also effectively eliminates the smallest dust. In addition, they can vacuum any surface – floors and walls, ceilings and shelves of furniture, children's high chairs and cribs.
The basic nozzle Dyson V6 (as well as all wireless Dyson models) is universal – it copes well with dust, debris and even pet hair, both on carpets and on hard flooring.
No matter how many children and pets are in your family, among Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners you will definitely find a model that suits your needs and lifestyle. And you can be sure of the result – dust and dirt have no chance!

Someone sent me a question asking how to add a button over a looping video using the Divi Theme. They had made reference to a post with a video I had on YouTube, How to Create a Transparent Overlay on an Image with the Divi Theme and they thought perhaps I could make a similar tutorial.
Because it's easy to become slightly irrelevant with things related to web design, I figured if one person is asking, many many more are most likely wondering the same thing, so why not make a new tutorial and fingers crossed it is even half as popular. (PS. if anyone ever asks me to give advice to the person you were in high school I am going to answer, don't be so sad you will be popular in something that isn't even invented yet, I am certain that would cheer up high school me on those lonely Saturday nights).
I am going to give you the how-to steps for: How To Add a Button Over a Looping Video With a Transparent Layer Using the Divi Theme, then I will make you a video and I will also upload this mini layout (section) to My Cloud and if you have the Layouts Cloud Plugin you can skip the reading and the watching and go right into the Cloud and be done in about 25 seconds.
- You will need to pick a video. I like free, so I suggest going over to Coverr.co and downloading whatever you like. Save the file to your downloads folder or desktop. It will most likely be a zip file, which you will need to unzip. Inside you will find four files, a JPEG image, a MPEG-4 movie file, a HTML5 Video (Ogg) and HTML5 Video (WebM)
- Login to the website you are building and navigate to either a page or post and select Use the Divi Builder
- Next I selected to have row with three columns (because I want one single button in the center of my video. If you want two or three (or more buttons select more columns, example two buttons, add two columns). I like Sean Barton's plugin, Divi Extended Column Layouts (5, 6, 7 or 8 columns) which you can download here (for free) from his website.
- The first customization is done to the Section Module. Click on the three horizontal lines in the top left corner of the blue box (Section). You are going to need to set a Background Video MP4 and a Background Video Webm in the Content area.
- Click on the Design tab and set all the margins and padding to 0.
- Then scroll down and if you wish, add a little opacity to the image which will soften the look of the video.
- Click on the Advanced tab and put height: 100vh; into the Main Element.
- Next go into the Row Settings. Make the Row Fullwidth, Yes to Custom Gutter Width, Gutter Width 1 and then Custon Margins Top and Bottom 15% (play with that number to suit your design).
Next you will want to add the Call to Action Module
- Add the necessary content and if you want the area behind the Call to Action to have a color or transparency, select it here (click on the color, and you will get the option to add a transparency). If you want to customize the button click on the Design tab and then customize the button. Save & Publish.
Here is the video I made for you to watch.
If you have the Layouts Cloud plugin, go to Community Cloud (if you haven't used Community Cloud, this video will help you). If you have created a site using the section, please leave a link here so we may look at it! Thank you.

I am using a standard linear regression using scikit-learn in python. However, I would like to force the weights to be all positive for every feature (not negative), is there any way I can accomplish that? I was looking in the documentation but could not find a way to accomplish that. I understand I may not get the best solution, but I need the weights to be non-negative.
What you are looking for, is the Non-negative least square regression. It is a simple optimization problem in quadratic programming where your constraint is that all the coefficients(a.k.a weights) should be positive.
Having said that, there is no standard implementation of Non-negative least squares in Scikit-Learn. The pull request is still open.
But, looks like Scipy has implemented the same.
PS: I haven't tried the scipy version. I found it solely by googling around.
1$\begingroup$ what about ridge regression where it forced to positive? $\endgroup$ – Charlie Parker Jan 27 '18 at 20:03
I use a workaround with Lasso on Scikit Learn (It is definitely not the best way to do things but it works well). Lasso has a parameter
positive which can be set to
True and force the coefficients to be positive. Further, setting the Regularization coefficient
alpha to lie close to 0 makes the Lasso mimic Linear Regression with no regularization. Here's the code:
from sklearn.linear_model import Lasso
lin = Lasso(alpha=0.0001,precompute=True,max_iter=1000,
positive=True, random_state=9999, selection='random')
Here is an example of why you would want to do it (and approximately how).
I have 3 predictive models of housing prices: linear, gradient boosting, neural network.
I want to blend them into a weighted average and find the best weights.
I run linear regression, and I get a solution with weights like -3.1, 2.5, 1.5, and some intercept.
So what I do instead using sklearn is
blendlasso = LassoCV(alphas=np.logspace(-6, -3, 7),
And I get positive weights that sum (very close) to 1. In my example I want the alpha that works best out-of-sample so I use LassoCV with cross-validation.
The sklearn docs state that you shouldn't set alpha to 0 for numerical reasons, however you can also use straight Lasso() and set the alpha parameter as low as you can get away with to get a reasonable answer.

Katy & Gabi had two weddings. One at The Old Church here in Hawkes Bay – a day filled with bright colours, bold personalities and tonnes of love! The second in Italy a few months later – I would have loved to have been at that one too!
Gabi couldn't take his eye's off Katy all day and at times I though he would burst with excitement and pride. The fact that he got to marry such a beautiful lady and his best friend seemed to overwhelm him in moments throughout the day. Gabi's family were unable to attend hence the second wedding in Italy but there was a quick skype session with them directly after the ceremony. Our world had got so small that you can be a part of any celebration so long as there is internet, which also means we can share the love further and more often, it makes me smile just thinking about it. But this wedding was truly a joining of family and culture and a pure pleasure to document! Thank you Katy & Gabi for having us there on your day. We wish you the moon and the stars!

Mission Craftsman Ceiling Fans - Ceiling fans have become important for many categories. All these are widely used and help us to have slacked slumber even in summers. The simple ceiling fan has a long stick that is used to connect the fan motor to the foundation which is then affixed to the ceiling. For a ceiling fan that is normal, you'll need a high ceiling to take it. These fans are quite different from other ceiling fans since they don't have any alloy stick and are linked closely to the ceiling.
Hugger fans were basically designed for the low ceiling but now a day they can be used everywhere. They have been designed in this fashion which their blades remain away from the floor as they can be and give them more clearance. But because of this layout, the atmosphere circulation is impeded which is among the more important disadvantages with this type of fans.
Ceiling fan business has additionally developed lots of the merchandise as there is plenty of opposition in every field which results in amazing technology progress. So, there are numerous styles and layouts available in the market for hugger ceiling fans. This has additionally resulted in a decrease in the speed of fans and companies are offering huge discounts.
Some of the models like Fanimation Loreto Bay, Modern Fan Cirrus Hugger, Minka Aire Concept II 52 Wet and Emerson Florissant have become attractive since they show up with blades and light that is discretionary. Therefore it adds appeal to your ceilings. In addition they come in smaller blades, larger blades, best airflow and airflow, with light and without light options.

Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green. Starring John David Washington, Anthony Ramos, Kelvin Harrison Jr, Rob Morgan, Nicole Beharie, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Chante Adams. 15A cert, limited release, 95 min
Green's thought-provoking debut feature concerns an incident in which an unarmed black man is shot dead by police on a Brooklyn street corner. There are obvious parallels with the Eric Garner case, but the writer-director isn't interesting in a straight-up procedural. His film unfolds as a triptych, in which each segment chronicles a compromised, complex set of ethics and concerns. Dennis (BlacKKKlansman's Washington) is a black police officer. Manny (Hamilton's Ramos) is a former felon who records police brutality on his phone. Zee (Assassination Nation's Harrison), a promising high school baseball star politicised by police harassment. A remarkably sure-footed first film. TB
Directed by Felix Van Groeningen. Starring Steve Carell, Timothée Chalamet, Maura Tierney, Amy Ryan. 15A cert, general release, 121 min
Nicholas (Chalamet) has been missing for a few days before he turns up, clearly at the tail end of a drug binge and unable to talk to his worried father, David (Carell). It's the start of a predictable, maddening pattern and downward spiral. Upon each return, Nicholas looks further gone than before, until finally, he's stealing from his own family to pay for his crystal meth habit. The dual protagonist structure allows for two tremendous performances that hang off nothing in particular. The film ends so abruptly, there's nothing Van Groeningen – the brilliant Belgian director who reinvented the weepie with The Broken Circle Breakdown (2012) – can do to convince the viewer that this is a movie.

Directed by Josie Rourke. Starring Saoirse Ronan, Margot Robbie, Jack Lowden, Joe Alwyn, David Tennant, Guy Pearce. 15A cert, generla release, 124 min
Perfectly adequate retelling of Queen Mary's unhappy demise, featuring a determined Ronan as the Scotswoman and a wracked Robbie as her rival Elizabeth I. It's a pretty unimaginative affair with too many baffling diversions from the facts. (Why does Mary, raised in France, speak with a Glaswegian accent?) Still, the pleasures of a classy production with classy performers are not to be wholly dismissed. It's the best Sunday-night telly at the cinema this Friday. Full review/trailer DC
Directed by Wash Westmoreland. Starring Keira Knightley, Dominic West, Eleanor Tomlinson, Denise Gough, Aiysha Hart. 15A cert, general release, 112 min
Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (Knightley) is a pigtailed teenager living in a corner of Burgundy who is not adverse to a roll in the hay with her parents' slick and much older friend Willy (Henry Gauthier-Villars, played by West). It's only after the naive country girl has married and moved to Paris with Willy that she and we come to realise that he's a literary fraud. A womaniser, a bully, and gambler, Willy is reluctant to let the brink of poverty come between him and whoring, so he tells Colette to write a novel. She writes a bucolic tale recalling her rural childhood. He trashes it and demands a rewrite with a closer focus on the schoolgirls. The second draft is an overnight sensation, published under Gauthier-Villars's name. It takes a while for Colette to emerge from his shadow, but she does so with gusto in this good looking cradle-to-grave biopic. Full review/trailer TB
Directed by Jason Reitman. Starring Hugh Jackman, JK Simmons, Vera Farmiga, Alfred Molina, Sara Paxton, Mamoudou Athie. 15A cert, general release, 113 min
Composed of long, snaking takes and Altmanesque overlapping dialogue and soundtracks, The Front Runner parachutes the viewer into the cut and thrust of the 1984 race for the Democratic presidential nomination, just as Colorado senator Gary Hart is conceding to Walter Mondale. Hart has so much charisma, smarts and fabulous hair that they've had to draught in the Greatest Showman himself to play the role. Fast forward to 1987: Hart is the presumed front-runner in the Democratic race until he is caught entertaining a pretty blonde named Donna Rice (Paxton), whom he met on a yacht named Monkey Business. The historical details are impeccable but the events have been pointedly repurposed as a cautionary tale that leads all the way to Trump. Full review TB
Directed by Jon S Baird. Starring John C Reilly, Steve Coogan, Shirley Henderson, Nina Arianda, Rufus Jones, Danny Huston. PG cert, general release, 97 min
Touching, funny drama following Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy (Coogan and Reilly) as they tour the UK and Ireland in declining years. That's pretty much it. There are few significant revelations. The comedy is as gentle as the original films. The sentimental turns are worked ruthlessly. Nothing much happens that you don't expect to happen. Yet it works like a dream. The two lead roles could hardly be better cast and Arianda steal every scene as Laurel's bolshie Russian wife. Full review/trailer DC

If you've got a pet snake, you're probably wondering whether it's male or female. Unfortunately, sexing a snake is not straightforward. They don't present much sexual dimorphism (visual differences between males and females). Usually, the only noticeable differences between male and female snakes are on the inside.
The two most effective methods of sexing a snake are probing and popping. Probing involves inserting a probe into the snake's cloaca (genital cavity) and measuring the depth that the probe reaches. A substantial depth suggests that the snake is male. Popping involves manually everting the snake's hemipenes using your thumb. The absence of hemipenes indicates a female.
There are ways to identify male and female snakes visually, but they vary between species and are not always accurate. We're going to explain the anatomical difference between male and female snakes and take you through the two main sexing methods.
What are the Differences Between Male and Female Snakes?
Before we start, let's examine how male and female snakes differ regarding anatomy.
Snakes, for the most part, reproduce sexually. The male produces sperm, and it's his responsibility to pass this sperm on to the female. The female snake contains ova (female reproductive cells) which the male's sperm has to fertilize.
For this to happen, mating has to take place. Male snakes possess two hemipenes (penises) which must be inserted into the female's cloaca to transfer the sperm. From there, it's the female's responsibility to grow the babies. She does this either by growing live young or by laying eggs, which then hatch at a later date.
In most mammals, it's easy to see these anatomical differences from the outside. However, in snakes, it's not so simple. A male snake's hemipenes are stored inside his body (more precisely, inside his tail). So, for this reason, they're invisible from the outside most of the time. A male's hemipenes only evert (turn outwards) when he's ready to mate.
How to Tell if Your Snake is Male or Female
Both male and female snakes have a cloaca, located on the underside of the snake, at the base of the tail. The cloaca serves several purposes: snakes urinate and defecate out of it, and it also contains their sex organs. When ready to mate, his hemipenes pop out of the cloaca, and he inserts them into the females.
Male and female cloacas look exactly the same from the outside. It's only internally that the differences can be found. To observe these differences, there are two main methods.
Both of these methods must only be attempted by experienced snake keepers. If you've never probed or popped a snake before, ask a veterinarian or herpetologist to help you.
1) Cloacal Probing
Probing is the most intrusive way of sexing a snake. However, it is also the most accurate. It's easily and quickly carried out by vets, herpetologists, and experienced reptile keepers.
It requires inserting a thin, metal "sexing probe" into the snake's cloaca, and measuring how deep it goes. A deeper probe indicates the presence of "hemipenis pockets," meaning the snake is male.
- Purchase a sexing probe kit. These are available in various thicknesses depending upon the size of the snake. You can get an 8-piece probe kit with a case on Amazon by clicking on this link.
- Lubricate the probe well, using K-Y jelly or petroleum jelly.
- Find the snake's cloaca. It's located on the snake's belly, at the base of the tail. Gently bend the snake's tail to see where the two openings are.
- Insert the probe, very gently, into one of the two openings, going towards the tail. Slide the probe slowly and carefully. Stop when you feel resistance.
- Place your thumb on the probe to measure how far it went, then pull it out slowly.
If the probe was able to be inserted further than the width of your snake, your snake is male. If the probe went down only two or three scales, she's probably a female.
Cloacal probing can cause injury to your snake if done incorrectly, so always seek help from someone experienced.
2) Cloacal Popping
Cloacal popping is less invasive for your snake than cloacal probing. However, it is slightly more challenging to accomplish. It involves manually trying to evert the snake's hemipenes, using your thumb. If no hemipenes are present, of course, your snake is female.
- Hold your snake with its belly facing you, and find the cloaca. Ask someone to hold the snake, if necessary.
- Place your thumb on the snake's tail, near the cloaca.
- Using gentle pressure, "roll" your thumb towards the snake's cloaca. If your snake is male, the hemipenes will evert (pop out).
It sounds simple, but popping is rather tricky to get the hang of. It's easy to apply too much pressure, not enough pressure, or pressure in the wrong place (too far from or close to the cloaca).
Many people mistakenly identify their snakes as female because they haven't got the technique quite right. Ideally, practice on a snake that you know is male, under professional supervision.
Do Male and Female Snakes Look Different?
If you aren't able to have your snake professionally sexed, you may be wondering: do male and female snakes look different? Is there any way of visually determining the gender of my snake?
The answer depends on your snake's species. Some species of snake look almost identical regardless of gender, whereas others have noticeable differences.
Let's have a look at three ways that you can get an idea of your snake's gender by looking at it.
Male vs. Female Tail Shape
Because of the differences in male and female snake anatomy, their tails look slightly different. The difference can range from quite extreme (for example, in hognose snakes) to subtle (ball pythons).
In brief, males tend to have longer tails than females. Their tails taper (become thinner) much more gradually, too. Females tend to have shorter tails which taper off abruptly after the cloaca.
According to the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, this is due to snakes' reproductive anatomy. Their tails need to be quite long to have room to store their hemipenes.
A snake's tail begins at the cloaca. So, to examine its tail, first hold your snake belly-up so that you can see where the cloaca is. Then, stretch out your snake's tail and find the mid-point between the cloaca and the tail tip.
Examine the thickness of this midpoint. If the circumference of the snake at this point is less than half of the snake's circumference at the cloaca, it's likely to be a female.
If it's more than half, it's a male. You can also count how many subcaudal scales there are before the tail starts to get thinner. If it's more than six scales, it's probably male.
Male vs. Female Pelvic Spurs
Pelvic spurs (anal spurs) are small protruding pieces of bone which are located near a snake's cloaca. Interestingly, they are the vestigial remnants (evolutionary leftovers) of legs. It's thought that the ancestors of certain snakes had legs, which have "devolved" into tiny nubs over the years.
Spurs are not present in all species but can be found in most species of boa and python. Some examples include the ball python, green tree python, Brazilian rainbow boa, and boa constrictor. Many other species of pet snake do not have spurs at all, such as corn snakes and hognose snakes.
In many species with spurs, particularly boas, you can tell the gender by the size of these spurs. Boa constrictor males have much larger and more prominent spurs than females. Female boa constrictors sometimes lack spurs altogether.
However, in some species, it's not possible to determine gender by examining the spurs. Some female ball pythons, for example, have spurs which are just as big as males'.
Male vs. Female Size
Finally, in most species, either the male or female tends to grow larger than the other. This can range from a barely noticeable difference to a significant one.
As a general rule, females tend to be larger than males, according to a study in the Animal Behavior journal. Scientists believe that this is because larger females can grow larger eggs (and larger babies). Juvenile snakes which are larger tend to have higher rates of survival.
Ball pythons are one example of sexual size dimorphism. Though the babies are the same size, female ball pythons tend to grow much larger during adulthood.
Males tend to reach 2-3 feet in length, whereas females reach 3-5 feet. If your ball python is an adult (at least three years old), measuring it might give you some idea of whether it's male or female. Boa constrictors are the same: females usually reach 7-10 feet, whereas males remain at 6-8 feet.
This doesn't work for every snake. In some species of snake, males and females are equal in size. Corn snakes and rat snakes are two examples. In others, such as rattlesnakes, the males grow larger.
Male vs. Female Snake Temperament
You should be familiar with the visual and anatomical differences between male and female snakes. However, you may still be wondering whether there are any temperamental differences between the two genders. Are male or female snakes more aggressive, for example?
We can confidently tell you, based on our experience, that there is no difference between temperament in male and female snakes. Both male and female snakes have the potential to be tame, friendly snakes that tolerate handling well.
As long as they're housed separately (one snake per tank), you won't notice any difference between males and females. Of course, all snakes have distinct personalities, even members of the same species. However, these differences are not gender-based.
Instead, they usually come down to one or more of the following factors:
- Some species of snake are naturally more docile than others. Corn snakes, for example, are generally more placid than green tree pythons.
- Just as we can pass traits down to our children, so can snakes.
- If you handle your snake frequently, they'll become tame as they get used to you. Unsocialized snakes tend to be more fearful and defensive around humans.
As long as you treat your snakes well, socialize them appropriately and respect any signs of stress, you'll end up with a friendly pet snake.
Which Gender of Snake is Best For a Pet?
Though it might not be straightforward, sexing your snake is possible with persistence and expertise. If you're inexperienced, take your snake to a reptile veterinarian or herpetologist for help.
If you're considering getting a pet snake, you may be wondering: should I get a male or female? The answer, honestly, is that there's not much difference. Male and female snakes of the same species generally look and behave almost identically. They have equal care requirements in terms of heating, humidity, and food. Their temperaments are exactly the same, and they both make great pets.
The only reasons you might need to consider a snake's gender are:
- Breeding. For breeding, you'll need both a male and a female snake of the same species.
- Size. In some species of snake, one gender is larger than another. Female ball pythons, for instance, usually grow larger than males. If you'd like your snake to remain small, you'd be better off getting a male. In African egg-eating snakes, females are usually easier to source food for than males, as they're larger and can eat larger eggs.
- Cost. Sometimes, female snakes can be slightly more expensive than males.
- Cohabiting. We never recommend housing snakes together, as they can fight and spread illnesses to one another. However, if you're planning to do this anyway, you'll need to ensure that all snakes are the same gender. This will prevent unwanted breeding. Generally speaking, female snakes are less likely to fight than males.
Other than the above reasons, there's no real reason to worry about which gender of snake you end up with. Both males and females make equally attractive and charming pets to share our lives with.

Within the historic walls of the Mission Revival Style Depot in Caliente, a lively masquerade ball on Feb. 16 successfully "raised the roof."
"This ball not only creates fun, the event also raises funds for more art in our community of Lincoln County," said Dana Lee Fruend, Executive Director of the Creative Artists of Lincoln County (CALC). "Art is at the heart of Lincoln County," she continued.
This is the second consecutive winter ball CALC has put on, with proceeds going toward art-related activities throughout the county.
The Depot's impressive architectural art was temporarily overshadowed by the Winter Ball attendees' elegant attire. An assortment of masks, gowns, top hats, tuxes, hoop dresses and kilts all honored the event's black and white color scheme.
CALC President CaraLee Frehner announced Janelle and Cody Christensen as Queen and King of the ball. Other honors included "Picture Perfect Couple" and "Cut the Rug" awards.

The trouble with Facebook4 min read . Updated: 09 Aug 2012, 08:04 PM IST
The trouble with Facebook
The trouble with Facebook
The journey from the biggest share issue event of the year to the hottest stock to short-sell has been swift and sharp. The Facebook initial public offering (IPO) in May was at $38 a share. The stock was trading at $20.75 when Nasdaq closed on 8 August. This means $50 billion of value has been wiped out in three months (equal to the market capitalizations of Microsoft and Yahoo combined). But there is far worse to come.
About 420 million Facebook shares are eligible for trading right now. But in the next four months (starting 15 August), more than two billion shares will become free to be sold, as their lock-up periods in the hands of Facebook employees get over. It is fair to expect that many of these people would like to cash out. Any which way, there will be a massive supply overhang on the market, which can only drive the price down.
Last month, BBC journalist Rory Cellan-Jones set up a Facebook page for a business called VirtualBagel with the simple (and absurd) promise: "We send you bagels via the Internet—just download and enjoy." Then he bought $10 worth of Facebook advertisements, and defined his target audience—under 45-year-olds interested in cookery and consumer electronics, residing in the US, UK, Russia, India, Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Within 24 hours, he had 1,600 "likes" and his budget had been spent.
Who were these people? In fact, many of them could not be "people". For instance, Ahmed Ronaldo from Cairo, whose profile consisted entirely of pictures of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, and who worked for Real Madrid. A lot of the "likers" of VirtualBagel were actually "bots"—software apps that perform simple repetitive tasks on the Net, often emulating human activity.
Quite simply, a malicious hacker can use his programming skills to mass-produce fake Facebook profiles, get them to send friend invites, "like" pages, do almost anything that a flesh-and-blood user does. Studies by computer security firms have also confirmed this phenomenon. No one knows to what extent response to Facebook advertisements is bot-driven. But this is seriously bad news for a company whose revenues almost entirely come from advertising, with a response-driven—cost per click—model. "Like"-spamming bots seriously undermine Facebook's value as an advertising medium. However, Facebook has said that it had "not seen evidence of a significant problem".
But the one significant problem that Facebook has to acknowledge is average revenue per user (ARPU). Right now, Facebook makes $1.21 per quarter per user, and Facebook seems unable to grow it at any respectable rate. To compare, Yahoo, which is old economy as far as tech stocks go, makes a $2 ARPU per quarter. And it ended trading on 8 August at $16.22, $4.53 below Facebook, and has a market capitalization of $19.78 billion, 56% lower than Facebook's 44.26 billion. Whatever premium the Facebook stock is commanding today is based on the hope that it will be able to ramp up revenues—that is, ARPU, at rocket speed in the coming years.
The key to growing ARPU is the mobile platform. More than half of Facebook users are today using smartphones and tablets to access the service. And Facebook doesn't seem to know how to monetize this emerging situation. It even acknowledged this before its IPO. "We believe this increased usage of Facebook on mobile devices has contributed to the recent trend of our daily active users increasing more rapidly than the increase in the number of ads delivered," it stated, admitting that if this continues, "our financial performance and ability to grow revenue would be negatively affected." Trouble is, Facebook depends on display advertising, and screens of most mobile devices are too small for them. Also, research shows that, as of now, mobile users show lower tolerance for ads.
Mark Zuckerberg created the biggest time-wasting activity in all of human history, and nearly a billion people signed up. But now, he does not know what to do with them. But isn't this an old story; isn't that what the dot-com boom was all about? At the height of the frenzy, in 1999, I had interviewed Vinod Khosla, then perhaps the world's most powerful venture capitalist, for Outlook magazine. I had expressed my concern that no one seemed to have a hang of the revenue model for dot-coms. His reply: "Why do companies have to make money today to be valuable? That's old linear thinking…(V)alue can be achieved in many ways. If I collected all the diamonds in the world, I'd have no 'income' but I'd have a lot of 'assets'. Would my company be worth nothing because I have no income? A lot of Net companies are collecting assets. They have to be measured with a new set of metrics." Later, though, I discovered that Khosla had not invested in a single dot-com of the type he had wanted new metrics for. And 13 years later, the world is still set in its "old linear thinking".

Well so far it only has three rooms started on, and is looking pretty pathetic to be honest but it's nice seeing it develop! I'm going to wallpaper all four rooms before I finish decorating them. I'm just a little stuck on what the fourth room should be! I don't want a bathroom, and the room is situated in such an odd spot. I'll probably opt for a games type room/bedroom with games consoles and computers and similar such things. I'll also be lighting the whole affair with warm golden LEDs. Well, enough of that. Here's what I have so far!

Mayoi Hachikuji Figma Review
Hachikuji finally arrived! I was so excited to get her, as she's just too cute. I haven't watched the anime yet though, but I am working on it. Anyway, let's start on my first proper review, shall we?
Hachikuji is adorable in her Figma form, even if her accessories are a little limited. She does come with her signature huge backpack, but it's such an integral part of her design it should be a given. With that in mind, she only comes with a mere 3 accessories and 3 face plates! (and four extra hand parts) The accessories she does come with however are really adorable. I adore rainy weather so I love her 2 umbrella parts, (one open and one closed.) she looks really cute holding her little umbrella! She also has a crouching leg part. Her face plates are nice too, I love the default and closed eye smile ones, and the angry one could make for some interesting posing! It would have been nice to get four, with an upset or excited expression but I'm pretty satisfied with them.
As for her articulation, Max Factory have done an excellent job for such a tiny figure. Her skirt is a very soft plastic which allows for a lot of leg movement and she can even sit with ease. The most limited parts are her hands as they have Figmas usual joint, with no side to side motion whatsoever. This can limit her posing a little but it's to be expected with a Figma, so I'm not disappointed! Her detailing is immaculate too. I can't find a single flaw in her paint, and nothing is missing from her design.
One thing to bear in mind however is her backpack unbalances her a lot. She can hardly stand with it on whilst wearing it, unless she's on her stand of course. When I tried to pose her wearing the huge thing without said stand, she fell over! You can see she wasn't very happy about the whole ordeal, even when returned to her stand.
Hachikuji is so much fun to pose! I've had a lot of fun fiddling around with her, her faceplates may be limiting in some ways but they're so versatile and expressive it doesn't matter. Her design is so lovely. She is an adorable figure and I love her! I would warn that if you want to get her, try and get her for less than £40. I love her, and she's £40 worth of enjoyment but not necessarily worth that much in terms of what she is and what she comes with. Keep in mind that unless you really love this figure it might not be worth paying that much! I'm glad I did however, and you'll be seeing more of her in the future, I hope. Goodbye for now!
In the Post~
I have quite a lot of stuff on the way at the moment and have decided to hold myself back from purchases for a while. I'm starting to work on a dolls house in which to display my figures, especially now I'm getting more and more. Pictures of that will be posted as I work on it!
As this month passes I had a little too much money and being as impulsive as I am pre-ordered the YuGiOh Figma and Nya-Tan. Add that to the Umaru pre-order I already had and the three other figures currently in the post and you have quite the problem. The aforementioned three figures are the Hachikuji Figma, (Although I am yet to watch the anime, I saw her price drop and decided to buy her since I think she's so cute. Besides, umbrella parts are always great! Particularly for photo opportunities.) a Fireball Drossel Figma and a Dark Precure Figuart I saw on AmiAmi pre owned! I have mild concerns for Dark Precures condition, as it was listed as 'C' but I'll be posting about her in relation to the rating she was given when I do review her. Hopefully I won't be too disappointed, as I really love her character and her design.
So, as I mentioned before I'm beginning work on a dolls house to display my figures in. I've had one since I was a child and used it to store cosmetics and old trinkets in until recently, moving them out and disposing of those I didn't use to free up the space within again. I've completed (well, a sort of work-in-progress completion) a bedroom already, and am just moving on to a living room now. I'll complete a kitchen and dining room after that before moving on to finally completing a sort of library/games room. It'll no doubt take me a while, but it's a project! I need to stagger my purchases a little anyway. Once I've fully completed this dolls house I think I'll move on to creating dioramas. I'll post any work and progress as I do, and hopefully will have some photos of the work so far pretty soon.
Well, that's an update. I'll be back soon, hopefully. Goodbye!
Collection Overview
I have a pretty small (but rapidly expanding) collection, so I'll just cover all of those toys briefly.
My collection
Cure Happy S.H Figuart
She was one of the first toys I ever bought, and I love her. She's a very versatile figure with good articulation (thanks to Bandai giving the recent Precure Figuarts pull down leg and shoulder ball joints, massively increasing their range of movement). She can stand on her own easily despite her huge hair pieces and she's very, very fun to play with. Her face plates are lovely too, her crying expression being tragically adorable.
Cardcaptor Sakura Figuart
My most recent acquisition, and one of my favourites, perhaps even warranting her own dedicated review. If I was to summarise I'd simply say it's clear to see the love and attention put into her, she has actually decreased the number of Nendoroids I plan on collecting on account of how much fun she is to play with, and how little effort doing so requires in comparison to a Nendoroid. She stands alone well, and comes with a nice range of accessories, her articulation is excellent considering her limiting clothes (even her little wings are on ball joints!)
Cure Lemonade Figuart
Can you see a developing pattern? I have somewhat of a weakness for magical girls. They are just so cute. She has her up and downsides in comparison to Cure Happy. Her articulation on her arms and legs is definitively inferior, no pull down joints here! However owing to the shape and length of her skirt design she can sit down in a variety of positions easily and she is very poseable despite her limited articulation. I regularly pose her in ballet positions and she accomplishes them with ease, though sadly as she did not come with a stand it takes some effort to get her to remain in them. Nonetheless I am very fond of her.
Hatsune Miku Nendoroid 33
Probably one of my favourite Nendoroids, her paint looks really lovely and clean and she poses well. She was rather lacking in accessories however.
Black Rock Shooter Nendoroid 106
My Black Rock Shooter Nendo was a gift, and she's quite nice! Her poses are pretty fun and dramatic for a Nendoroid, though I think more dark, sleek characters like hers who come from combat based origins are better portrayed in a less stylised and more articulated way. I'm still very fond of her though.
Madoka Nendoroid
The first Nendoroid I ever owned! She holds a great deal of sentimental value thanks to that, and is always kept pride of place on my desk. Her posing is actually pretty limited, and she can only really do what is shown on the box, though since she's a Nendoroid it's to be expected
I'll stop there as far as Nendoroids are concerned. Since they all have the same level of articulation there isn't much to say about each different one all at once. I will say that one of the best features of the Nendoroid line is the cross compatibility of the figures respective parts. This really increases posing potential for figures with such limited articulation. Well, that covers my collection! I hope to have many more figures to write about, in much more detail soon. Thank you for reading!
Outdoor Photography
Nendoroids as opposed to Figma, Figuarts etc.
It cannot be stated that I do not love Nendoroids. They are cute, versatile and affordable figures with their own merits, but I cannot help but prefer the more articulated figures occasionally disregarded for their visible joints.
To give credit where due, Good Smile excels in making a poseable figure with no visible joints whatsoever but in my opinion in doing so they sacrifice playability for aesthetic.
I will not deny how cute Nendoroids can be. Their chibi style can be so well suited to some characters and yet I find that although the Nendoroids I own sit in plain sight at all times, they are less often touched than my Figuarts. One would have to therefore suppose that they are simply less fun and in some ways, one would be right.
I would argue however that they are only less fun owing to the hassle required to pose them and their rather limited playability. No matter what you say, having to fiddle around with dozens of parts just to find the right face or arm so the character can have the slightest change in pose is time consuming and as someone with very little energy a lot of the time I find posing Nendoroids to be almost a chore on occasion. Having to open boxes and fish around just so a character can bend their leg is a huge contrast to, you know, bending a figure's leg. I think this is why as my collection grows, the ratio of Nendoroids to more poseable figures lessens.
Another thing that has been brought to my attention of late is the rather unsuitable style of the Nendoroid for some characters. I personally adore characters with a slender elegance or lanky awkwardness that is poorly if at all conveyed in a chibi style. Extravagant, flamboyant characters with wild gestures are simply not suited to this cute, babyish form. It is hard to convey dramatic poses, specifically those during combat with tiny Tyrannosaurus Rex arms. Nendoroids I once dearly wanted (for example – the Watamote Nendoroid) have become pushed aside as a last resort if no more poseable accurate figure is released. Some characters however are a perfect fit for the Nendoroid style, and others can look very adorable converted to it. The first example of such a character would have to be Umaru. Regardless of your feelings on that particular character it is unarguable that she was made for Nendoroid form.
Another thing to take into account is very few Nendoroids can stand without their bases. This again limits playability and although not particularly unpleasant looking, Nendoroid stands aren't the nicest looking things. They stick out like a sore thumb in a diorama! When compared to my Figuarts (all of which can stand without any aid whatsoever) it's pretty poor.
I conclude that Nendoroids and similar are more suited to those of us who do not often actually play with the toys we collect, if at all. If you don't like visible joints and like cute stylised things, Nendoroids are perfect. If, however, you regularly want to pose and fiddle with your toys they are less appealing and I would recommend opting for a more easily posed alternative.
Well it seems that is all I have to say on the subject, thank you for reading!
I like cute things made of plastic that I can fiddle with whilst waiting for a game to load, a kettle to boil or a new cute thing made of plastic to arrive in the post.
Mostly these cute things consist of Figmas, Figuarts, Nendoroids, and the odd other toy that catches my eye. I'll be writing about these things here, because I like writing and I like toys! I hope you enjoy reading these ramblings as much as I do writing them.
