Salmon and Green Apple Salad
If you follow me on Instagram you know I'm a fan of giant salads for lunch. Most of the time the get made with whatever is in my fridge. And sometimes I stumble across a genius combination of ingredients that is worth sharing.
Yesterday's salad was just that. I have a really hard time eating leftover salmon. I love it when it's freshly cooked, but for some reason eating cold or reheated just doesn't do it for me. However, given the lack of other options in my refrigerator, I was left with no choice but to use it as the protein on my salad. I totally won on this one!
Also, I am typically pretty adamant that you make your own salad dressing because it's cheap and that way you can make sure that you are eating any crappy oils. However, I have been obsessed with Tessemae's Creamy Ranch dressing for many, many months now. It's Whole30 approved which means that not only was it impossible to find in the store in January, but also that it's made with good oils and it's dairy-free. One thing that it is not, is cheap. So I still advocate for making your own dressing, but this will do in a pinch.
Salmon and Green Apple Salad
Yield: 1 large serving
Total time: 10 minutes
1 heart of romaine
1/2 green apple
4 oz leftover salmon, cooked
1/2 avocado
Dressing of choice (homemade balsamic vinaigrette or Tessemae's Creamy Ranch)
Optional: Kraut, olives, pepitas, or other toppings that sound good
Chop the romaine and add to a plate. Cut up the apple into cubes and add to the plate. Slice the avocado in it's skin lengthwise and then across to create cubes, scoop out of skin with a spoon and add to plate. Top with crumbled salmon. Add dressing and additional toppings.
Wild-caught salmon is my favorite way to get my omega-3s in as well as tons of other vitamins and nutrients that are hard to come by from other sources (B vitamins, zinc, selenium, iodine, vitamin A, and more). A lot of people supplement with fish oil, which can be ok for the short term, but I've read that there is no benefit of supplementing in high doses beyond 6 months. I couldn't find any information about how long of a break you should take, but it's something worth considering if you supplement with fish oil. Also, be aware of what product you are using, most fish oil supplements are low-quality and not sourced sustainably.
If I had to choose an alternate way to get omega-3s I would say to use Vital Proteins Marine Collagen as a protein supplement instead of fish oil pills. I can't find information about how much EPA and DHA (omega-3s) are in it, but since it is made from marine sources of collagen (protein) I can only assume that there is some in there. It would be a good additional protein source if you don't eat a lot of wild-caught fish.

Adam and I boarded a bus from Puerto Natales, Chile to El Calate, Argentina on a quick (by our new standards) four-hour bus ride. El Calafate was a really nice, touristy town with great restaurants. After being exhausted from hiking Torres del Paine the past 4 days we were in the mood for some relaxing. After resting the entire first day we took a walking tour around a lagoon the second day. There were lots of birds, including flamingos, which was cool but strange to see them in a mountainous setting.
The next day just Tuula, Anu and I went out to see Perito Moreno Glacier, a UNESCO Heritage site. Adam stayed back because he was preparing for the Super Bowl, and his team was finally in it this year. The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of only three Patagonian glaciers that is growing. It is also the third largest freshwater reserve in the world. What was really amazing was that since it was such a nice sunny day the glacier was really active and we would hear the ice cracking and breaking and crashing down in the waters below. We brought our own lunches and found a nice bench and sat there for afew hours enjoying the beautiful sights of the glacier and the sun on our faces.
Later that evening, all dressed in green to support Adam's Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl. We really enjoyed our Super Bowl party of wine, beer, chips, homemade guacamole and hot dogs. The game was on in our hostel we stayed at, but comentated in spanish. The whole night Adam would Skype our friends back home during commercial breaks to talk about the latest plays. Anu and Tuula would ask questions about the rules or fouls called and Adam had a great time teaching them the rules of the game. The ended in a victory for Adam and his fellow Packers fans, and for him it was an unforgettable moment from the trip, watching his team win their fourth Super Bowl, and the second one since he's been alive. I can attest to the fact he has been a good fan while travelling, managing to watch games at 1 or 4am in the morning in Asia whenever we had wifi (special thanks to Brad Linssen for his DirecTV Sunday Ticket login!)
I had read most of these posts before, but apparently only on my iPhone. Those glacier photos were awesome. These were so much more dramatic than the ones we saw in New Zealand with the lake below rather than just a river of melting ice. Thanks for sharing.
I forgot to mention the story heard on NPR recently about Flamingos that ended up somewhere in really cold Siberia several years ago after having migrated 180 degrees in the wrong direction. They apparently aren't only in Florida and the everglades.

Vineyard Florals/
This past trip to Italy was unique and extremely special. I loved traveling to new spots and tasting cuisines from various regions of Italy. It was only natural to wander away from the more tourist spots that can be busy in the European summer months and sample what more remote Tuscany has to offer. And boy did it not disappoint!
When I lived in Siena, Italy during college days I had a fabulous and still very much out of this world Italian teacher that took us to many places to best experience the culture, art, and history. What better way to learn right?! During this visit she traveled with our group to a special place in her heart, Fattoria Del Colle, the 16th Century vineyard of her matrimonio. This villa was the perfect back drop for an afternoon lunch and wine tasting. Every view was breathtaking!
I wore a sundress for the hot weather, as it's impossible to stay cool under a cypress tree. I loved the detailing on the back and the loose comfortable fit. This was a day to remember, getting to wine taste and tour the grounds. The scenic views weren't short of a fairy tale and I was so happy to have met the owner herself, Donatella. This fabulous female makes it a point to keep the vineyards tradition of educating and employing predominantly female staff to run the business. Throughout generations this Italian family has continued with this tradition. The winery even has a vino named Cinderella to symbolize its history. It is home to some of the best chianti and brunello of the region.
Special grazie to Barbara and Donatella for sharing such a wonderful spot in Tuscany with our group that day!

Loidys Carnero (La Habana, 1982) investigates Dutch design from the standpoint of his personal experience as a foreigner. By connecting his artistic practice (earlier Do-It-Yourself furniture pieces made out of Dutch DIY books) with the idea of "adjustment", he upgrades his personal position to a cultural and social level that actualizes the situation of immigrants in Europe nowadays without morality. Carnero's passion for pragmatism, tutorials and craftsmanship has become a critical and creative statement. Throughout the production of his recent sculptures he decontextualize materials in order to expose their symbolic, cultural, and historical significance, but also responding to his own location and using local materials.

The YouTuber known for his scratch, bend and burn tests of the latest smartphones tested the limits of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor of the S10.
Apple may have suffered big losses from iPhone sales thus impacting Largan, but the glass supplier isn't worried and is focusing on more applications.
We've brought the fingerprint sensor underneath the smartphone display. When will the selfie camera come under, too? Essential's thinking about it.
Qualcomm has slowly been developing ultrasonic fingerprint sensing technology for years. Apple has its own take in a new patent. Is Touch ID back?
The Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) and other mid-range devices will bring more goodies that include flagship features like AR Emoji
OnePlus had confirmed that the 6T would have a fingerprint sensor beneath its display. Now, it has also confirmed how that component will work.
Motorola's mid-range series of smartphones has been popular through the years, but will it need extra firepower to make it through 2019?
Sense ID beams ultrasonic waves to fingerprints and the sensor reads back echoes to authenticate users. Samsung may be looking to this security measure.
This prediction comes from a generally well-regarded market analyst that has been tracking Apple for many years. Chances are, he's right.
Our partners at XDA obtained photos and information from a source and have thus converted it into renders for our viewing pleasure.
100 million units to be shipped in 2019, as in-display fingerprint scanners will become a standard next year for mid-to-high-end smartphones.
So, you've heard that Samsung is planning a shindig on August 9 and are wondering what it's about? We have everything on what it's about right here.
Enter and find out about the new functions that are coming to Samsung smartphones thanks to Qualcomm's in-display fingerprint sensors
An executive from the chaebol came to China to address the questions fans had and was spotted using a future phone. Good move?
This big battery phablet is supposed to launch this month and we're still treated to minor leaks. When will it officially arrive?
Samsung wants to have better biometric security measures come 2019 and it thinks that it can have a dot-projection facial sensor in time.
How much of a difference will 0.5mm make? About two weeks' worth of difference. That said, the Note 9 was on an early track for release anyways...
Next year's big Samsung phone will be able to take fingerprint authentication directly through its display. And, with the state of the smartphone market, not a moment too soon.
It looks like that oft-rumored Xiaomi Mi 8 smartphone will be joined to market by a smaller, slightly lower-end Mi 8 SE with an iPhone X-style notch of its own and a Snapdragon 710 processor. The Mi Band 3 is also coming.
Not exactly affordable, the $525 or so Vivo X21 is not exorbitantly priced either for what it brings to India, in-display fingerprint recognition included.
Just in case the fast-approaching Xiaomi Mi 8 smartphone didn't feel exciting enough, a freshly leaked video appears to confirm both in-display fingerprint recognition and an eye-catching translucent backplate.
To celebrate the company's eight anniversary, an ultra-high-end Xiaomi Mi 8 smartphone will be unveiled on May 31, possibly with in-display fingerprint recognition and 3D facial scanning in tow.
The phone is pretty much all but called out on Flipkart's mobile app right now, but it will take another week before we know all about it.

Furthermore the online team also is responsible for the preparation of the monthly DONNA newsletter containing the selection of topics as well as the editorial implementation of competitions, advertorials and other cooperations.
This is the most important phase when creating a publication. Together with our clients we decide on what kind of magazine we want to develop. We define the target audience, we find the right tone and voice, and we form the visual concept. Most important of all, we find the best people to put these ideas into practice.Beispiele
We love beautiful magazines, and we know how to make them. That is why we develop new mediaproducts in printed or in digital form, for publishers, agencies and corporations — from the initial concept to the final publishing.
How do you reformat sophisticated magazine content for online media? How do you reach out to your online readership? How do you enhance your social media presence? We have the answer.
Sometimes magazines need a breath of fresh air. We redesign established print media and generate new ideas—to revitalise concepts, editorial content and graphic design.
New input for media products does not necessarily need to be implemented by us. We offer our clients comprehensive consulting services on how to improve their magazine.
From the right cover motif to new distribution strategies, advertising, addressing advertising clients and finding the ideal web solutions—we have heaps of experience in how to market good media products even more successfully.
Layout and design are crucial for a magazine's success. The visual appearance of a magazine determines whether it is bought at the magazine stand or not. Finding the right style and optimum balance between modern and traditional elements is an art that only few designers have mastered. We work with the best in the business.Beispiele
The days of one-way communication—from magazine to reader—are over. Modern media consumers like to feel engaged and want to get connected with editors and like-minded people on Facebook or other interactive websites. But above all, readers want to be entertained on a daily basis.Beispiele
A magazine stands and falls with its editors. This is where the content is developed, the right tone and voice are found and the concept is brought to life. Our greatest advantage is our enormous flexibility. Within a few weeks we can put together a team of top-notch editors to work on an issue, either at our office or directly with our clients.Beispiele
Photography has become increasingly important over the last few years. The photo editor knows which style best suits the magazine and which photographer is best for the assignment. The job of a photo editor is to find the relevant images in stock photo databases and social networks—images that truly captivate.Beispiele
Fashion, food, living and beauty topics need one thing above all—the right look. We work with top-notch models, location scouts, stylists and photographers. We are proud of our many photo productions that have caused a major stir.Beispiele
Fast, flexible and creative work is only possible when there is somebody who manages all activities of the project. This is the job of the Managing Editor. The Managing Editor communicates with the clients, coordinates the workflow and monitors the production schedule.Beispiele
Managing sales is not just about considering how a magazine is displayed at the newspaper stand. For us, sales means how the magazine finds its way to its readers. This also includes how we approach the cover design, the right pricing strategy, the most suitable sales channels and the most appropriate digital formats.Beispiele
Magazines are supposed to provide high-quality entertainment, but they must also be successful at magazine stands and with advertising clients at the same time. What sets us apart from other agencies is that we keep an eye on this aspect right from the onset of production, and work with all our expertise towards the economic success of the project.Beispiele

DNC: Don't take money from most destructive industry on earth
In mid-August, the Democratic National Conference voted to overturn a June decision to refuse donations from the fossil fuel industry. How and why did that happen? Why would the DNC decide to embrace the most destructive industry on our planet after deciding that it would not?
Pressure from the unions representing the fossil fuel and construction trades workers is the answer. Most jobs in the fossil fuel industry are well-paid, union jobs with the kind of wages and benefits that every worker should have if we had a just society. And, under the present conditions of too-often low pay, poor benefit jobs that are generally available, most fossil fuel workers are holding tight to their jobs. Even similarly, skilled jobs in the renewable energy industry don't match the pay and benefits of the fossil fuel industry. This is understandable from their personal points of view.
There are presently about 2 million jobs in the fossil fuel industry and those workers are, like all workers, entitled to good jobs. We can easily understand why their unions try to protect those workers. But their industry is the main culprit destroying the planet for future human life. The science is clear: we must stop the production and use of fossil fuels or we burn the planet and human life on it. The labor movement cannot collaborate in burning the planet in order to save this relatively small handful of jobs. It is in the direct interest of the rest of the union movement, the rest of the world, to fight climate change and reject the fossil fuel industry in its totality. After all, there are no jobs on a dead planet.
What is missing from this grim picture of fossil fuel unions holding on to a killer industry is the presence of a pro-union, pro-worker political power structure. What would it take for those fossil fuel workers and their unions, most of whom have children and grandchildren who will inherit a burning planet just like the rest of our progeny, to join the movement to end the fossil fuel regime and join the movement for a total transition to 100% renewable energy economy now? What would we, as a labor movement, need to demand to create the protection that those workers, that all workers would need?
First we would need much stronger wages with guarantees of work and/or salaries to fully sustain a family living with dignity and sufficient income. Second, we would need a much stronger social safety net that might include health care not connected to any particular job (Medicare for All?), free public college tuition, truly affordable housing and public transportation. We would need much more social investment in our communities and in jobs that would work for the public good, not just the private profits of corporations. We would need a World War II-scale effort to create 100% renewable energy that would provide some of those good, union jobs. We need the The Green New Deal paid for by the corporate polluters who have made fortunes from the misery of the planet, knowing full well since 1988 what they were doing and continued doing it nonetheless.
This is the world workers need and we need it now, not years down the road. I respect the needs of the fossil fuel workers and understand why they pressured the Democratic Party to work for their needs. But the real needs that will be accomplished by the DNC's decision to accept contributions from the fossil fuel industry will be those of the fossil fuel industry corporations and their CEO's. Okay, DNC, accept contributions from the unions of the fossil fuel workers. In the current structure of political donations from groups, that seems reasonable, though it would be better to just have donations from individuals, thus breaking into the absolute power of the wealthy. But don't accept donations from the most destructive industry on earth. Reject those donations, reject the fossil fuel-dominated economy, and move toward building the new renewable energy economy. It is the world we need right now. History is watching. The people of the United States are watching. The voters of the U.S. are watching. Will the Democratic Party move toward a possibly sustainable future or will it collaborate in the destruction of us all? Will the rest of the labor movement bow in ritual solidarity to the fossil fuel workers or will they insist upon creating demands of our government to insure a just transition to an economy based on the needs of the people not the profits of the very few?

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Inktomi chairman and CEO DavidPeterschmidt said the company expects to make a large acquisition sometime in the next 12 to 18 months.
The company has also entered into an advertising joint venture with Doubleclick, he said.
?Odds are high? the company will make a major acquisition in the next twelve to 18 months due to consolidation in the Internet infrastructure family, Peterschmidt said, speaking at a Bear Stearns Technology Conference here Monday.
He said Inktomi INKT would like any deal to be accretive to earnings but added that could prove difficult.
Additionally, Inktomi and Doubleclick have formed an ad sales partnership targeting vertical web portals.
The deal is structured to allow a vertical portal to receive Inktomi?s search engine free in exchange for granting Doubleclick the right to sell ads on the sites.
Doubleclick will then pay Inktomi a percentage of the ad sales, Peterschmidt said.
"We thinkour dominant market sharewill allow us to take the lead in monetizing different aspects of the Internet search business," he said.
Veritas sees $50 million spending in next 12 months
Also at the Bear Stearns conference, Veritas CFO KennethLonchar said he expects the company to spend $50 million onstrategic initiatives in the next 12 months.
The initiatives will include development of products for the Internet, storage application network and Linux markets as well as professional services and e-commerce offerings. The companyis committed to makingits intelligent data storage applications compatible withall types of servers and operating systems.
"We're very focused on being able to migrate across software platforms, especially in the replication segment" Lochnar said.
He also said the company VRTS, +0.89% has established a $100 million strategic investing program to fund complimentary emerging businesses.
Lochnar noted that all these expenditures have been taken into consideration in the company?s earnings and revenue guidance and said that Veritas expects to have "well north" of $950 million in cash at the end of the June quarter.
"We plan to maintain plus-30 percent margins during our expansion, Lochnar said.
Pets.com CFO says shares undervalued
Pets.com chief financial officer, Paul Manca, said the online pet supply retailer expects to exceed analyst expectations for revenue and gross margins in the second quarter.
Manca also said the company ipet was "on track" to meet its target of positive gross margins in the third quarter and that the company could be profitable on an operating basis up to a year and a half earlier than the fiscal 2004 target that analysts are currently projecting.
He attributed the bullish outlook to the company's plans to leverage its relationship with strategic partners, including largest shareholder Amazon.com AMZN, -1.68%.
He also cited the success of its sock puppet advertising campaign and its entrance to new product categories with better margins, especially fish.
Speaking at the Bear Stearns conference, Manca also discussed the company's acquisition of Petstore.com for 6.5 million shares, roughly 20 percent of its outstanding common stock.
The deal includes a variety of assets, including marketing relationships with Safeway SWY, +100.00% and The Discovery Channel. He also noted that it won't accelerate Pets.com's cash needs. In fact, The Discovery Channel will invest $3 million in Pets.com and receive a seat on its board.
Separately, Manca said the company has sufficient funds for operations through the end of the year. He said the company will seek additional funding first in the capital markets and then from private investors if necessary.
Asked to comment on the company's share price, Manca said he believes the stock is undervalued at its current price. "I think we've been oversold due to the market's general discomfort with dot.coms," he said. "But the business-to-consumer market isn't going to dry up. I look forward to the resurrection of our share price."
About.com CEO and Chairman Scott Kurnit said Tuesday that the company plans to add Web sites targeting audiences in the U.K. and Canada to its network during the current quarter.
Kurnit said expansion into other countries is just one of a number of strategic initiatives that he hopes will keep About.com BOUT, -0.26% on track to reach profitability in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. He added that the company's Internet traffic figures remain robust.
"We haven't spent a dime on television or radio advertising in the last 12 months," Kurnit said, "but the network continues to grow."
Other About.com initiatives include increasing original content, an aggressive acquisition strategy, improving the layout of member sites to better leverage the breadth of its network, adding sales people, and maybe most importantly, reducing costs.
About.com employs guides to update its more than 700 Web sites. Kurnit said these guides are paid $1,100 a month on average, with the more specialized guides receiving in upwards of $10,000 to$15,000 a month. Kurnit said About.com is working to reduce these costs as revenues increase. Last quarter, guide compensation fell to 17 percent ofAbout.com's revenues from 22 percent in the same period a year earlier.
Shares of About.comsuffered in Tuesday trading, falling4 5/8, or 12.2 percent, to 33 3/8 as Internet media firms sold off in sympathy with NBC Internet's profit warning.

While we wouldn't go so far as to say that drugs and film stardom have always enjoyed a peanut butter and jelly type relationship, it's certainly no stretch to say that movie stars have been associated with various mind-altering substances since the film industry became a global enterprise. No, not all of you favorite actors have done drugs, but the substances float around Hollywood for the same reason they float around Wall Street. Whenever you have a lot of young people with excess income and a high-pressure/public job, drugs are bound to start showing up to the party at some point.
Of course, not all drug using movie stars are made equally. While some only experiment with the stuff in their youth or otherwise indulge themselves sparingly, others make the choice - whether they realize it or not - to prioritize getting high over their advancing their careers. For some of these stars, their continued drug use results in directors, studios, and other actors simply preferring not to work with them. Others quite simply lost their lives to their habits. Whatever the end result, the stories of these once-promising actors who traded in their career for drugs are almost always outright tragedies.
16 Charlie Sheen
There was a time when Charlie Sheen was just a promising young actor from a famous family. By the late '80s, Sheen was one of the hottest names in the industry. He starred in hit after hit and was slowly establishing himself as a genuinely versatile performer. The '90s were rougher on Sheen, as his starpower fell off quite a bit during that period. However, Sheen rocketed back to the top when Two and A Half Men became one of the biggest shows on television.
It's tempting to say, "Then the drugs happened," but we'd later find out that Sheen was battling drug problems for years. Of course, we found that out when Sheen became a human internet meme who was fond of babbling about things like "tiger's blood" and "winning." Sheen's mental breakdown made him more famous than ever for a time, but the bubble soon burst. He lost his high-paying TV gig around that time, and it seems he's still trying to get his life together today.
15 Daniel Baldwin
There was a time when the Baldwins were America's acting family. While not every Baldwin brother achieved film fame, Danny, Alec, and Stephen Baldwin were appearing in more and more noteworthy movies and TV shows. Alec was typically seen as the biggest star, but following his work on Homicide: Life on the Streets, some felt that Daniel Baldwin might end up making the biggest name for himself.
Daniel did make a name for himself, but not in the way he may have hoped to. Over the course of a couple of decades, Daniel Baldwin was arrested various times for substance abuse related issues. From running naked through hotels while high on cocaine to stealing cars, Daniel Baldwin's fall was much quicker and far more notable than his rise was.
14 Corey Feldman
In the early to mid-'80s, there was a renewed interest in movies starring kids and pre-teens, and Corey Feldman was one of the biggest benefactors of this movement. He appeared in several high-profile movies in as many years, and looked primed to remain a noteworthy star as he transitioned into adulthood.
His ambitions were derailed quite a bit by some regrettable personal life choices that included drug abuse. When failed marriages and failed movies made it clear that something was wrong with Feldman, he publicly admitted to having a drug problem that was causing serious issues in his life. Feldman's career never quite recovered from this period of his life. He eventually got clean, but his star had long since faded.
13 River Phoenix
We'll end our brief look at childhood actors that succumbed to drugs with one of the most infamous stories in Hollywood history. By virtue of his incredible performances in Explorers, Stand By Me, and Running on Empty, River Phoenix was considered by many to be the best young actor in America. He just seemed destined to be the next big star.
That all ended on October 31, 1993, when River Phoenix was found dead from a drug overdose. Given that the 23 year old was never really associated with drugs prior to this, the news came as quite the shock. In the coming weeks, however, it was revealed that Phoenix began experimenting with drugs alongside his more regular alcohol habits. On that particular night, a combination of cocaine and morphine proved to be too much for Phoenix to handle.
12 Richard Pryor
This is a bit of a strange story so far as drug use and stars go. In the late '60s and early '70s, Richard Pryor basically changed the entire style of stand-up comedy with his raunchy and socially relevant routines. In the eyes of many, he was the world's funniest man.
Then, in 1980, Pryor was caught pouring alcohol all over himself and lighting himself on fire. Following an extensive investigation - and Pryor's medical treatment - it was revealed that the world-famous funnyman had been freebasing cocaine for days before the incident occurred. After that...Pryor was never quite the same. He slowly backed away from the stand-up scene and focused on filming a series of movies that were much more family friendly than his previous efforts.
11 Gary Busey
Gary Busey was never really a top-tier leading man, but for quite some time, he was one of the most sought after character actors in Hollywood. Busey was the kind of actor whose performances seemed otherworldly. Nobody was quite sure if he really was that crazy and weird or if he was just really good at playing that role.
Later on, we found out that Busey probably was as crazy as his characters. While a 1988 motorcycle accident that reportedly may have caused Busey a form of brain damage certainly altered his attitude, it was his 1995 cocaine overdose that forever changed his fate. Busey worked very hard to get clean after the overdose, but Hollywood seemed to lose all interest in the actor after that. He's since been seen largely in B-movies and reality shows.
10 Nick Stahl
The name Nick Stahl may not jump out at you, but you're most certainly familiar with at least some of his movies. After establishing himself as a talented supporting actor by virtue of his appearance in movies like The Thin Red Line and In the Bedroom. However, it was his work in the HBO series Carnivàle that helped Stahl finally enjoy bigger roles such as playing John Connor in Terminator 3.
Stahl's career came crashing down when he was no longer able to hide the substance abuse troubles he had been struggling with. When his longtime wife filed for separation and custody, Stahl really went off the deep end. He went missing for several days and was later found at the tail end of a long bender. Other incidents saw him get arrested at an adult video store for public indecency, and his star power has yet to recover.
9 Judy Garland
Have you ever wondered what happened to Judy Garland? After all, it's not every day that someone stars in a film that is as historically and culturally significant as The Wizard of the Oz and then seemingly falls off the face of the Earth.
Well, Garland starred in a few films after The Wizard of Oz, but the success of that film and the pressures it resulted in seemingly led to the actress falling deeper and deeper down the substance abuse rabbit hole. Garland had reportedly turned to pills and alcohol to deal with the intense shooting schedules film stars in those days endured, as well as the sudden rise to fame she was enjoying. Garland was able to stage a mini-comeback later in her life, but died not long after when she overdosed on barbiturates.
8 Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston is one of those stars whose rise to fame was so quick that you really have to stop time and reflect on how it came about. Well, the truth is that Houston had been rising up the ranks of the music world throughout the '80s, but it wasn't until Houston starred in a film called The Bodyguard and put out a best-selling album to accompany it that she achieved the arguable peak of her stardom.
Things didn't immediately go downhill from there, but the years that followed were repeatedly accompanied by rumors that Houston had been abusing drugs. Eventually, the shocking extent of her drug use was revealed. The star's long history with cocaine came to a head in 2012 when the 48 year old was found dead in a Beverly Hills hotel with various drugs in her system.
7 Mischa Barton
Mischa Barton is another one of those actresses who might make you say, "What ever happened to them?" Well, in Barton's case, she enjoyed a quick rise to stardom after appearing in the surprise Fox hit, The O.C. She had caught the attention of some critics earlier than that thanks to her work in films like The Sixth Sense and Notting Hill, but that was the role that put her over-the-top.
That sudden influx of cash and fame combined with Barton's youth and good looks led to a seemingly endless string of parties that Barton couldn't walk away from. With these parties came drugs, and with the drugs came a brutal mental breakdown that left Barton a shell of her former self. Barton has been able to recover in recent years, but she endured some truly tough times.
6 Lindsay Lohan
During Mischa Barton's partying days, she happened to run around with another young actress living it up at what would turn out to be the prime of her career. Yes, it's Lindsay Lohan. It's funny, but a quick look at Lohan's career history doesn't reveal too many "great" roles. Sure, you have Mean Girls, but most of Lohan's movies can trace their success to family friendly plots and the undeniable appeal of Lohan at the peak of her fame.
You probably know what comes next. Lohan's public breakdowns are arguably more famous than her movies. A string of arrests related to Lohan's drinking and drug problems soon forced the actress to attend a variety of rehab facilities. Her efforts may have helped save her life, but her career might never be truly salvaged.
5 Amanda Bynes
In the '90s, Amanda Bynes was tagged as a future "It girl." When she was around 10 years old, she began appearing in a variety of very popular Nickelodeon shows. By age 13, she already had her own series. From there, Bynes enjoyed the life of a typical young and popular actress. She enjoyed a few roles in kids films, made some cameos, and just waited to transition into a successful adult actress.
Before that could happen, though, Bynes ended up losing a battle with several issues she had been fighting. Apparently, most of the actresses' substance abuse issues stemmed from psychological issues she had with her body and public image. Some close to her claim that she spent millions on drugs and other forms of self-medication. Bynes, meanwhile, is still trying to stage a career comeback after a brief retirement.
4 David Hasselhoff
David Hasselhoff's time on the A-list wasn't long, but that doesn't mean it was irrelevant. Following his work on the hit show Knight Rider and a few records that were huge overseas, Hasselhoff managed to turn a show about sexy lifeguards that no network wanted to touch with a ten-foot pole into one of the highest-rated programs on television. It defied all logic, but that didn't matter. Baywatch turned The Hoff into a household name.
While Hasselhoff has always had a bigger problem with drinking, the fact of the matter is that the actor spent a good part of his peak years trying to get his hands on every substance he could lay claim to. Some will argue that Hasselhoff never quite had the chops to be a big name actor for long, but he certainly would have appeared in a few more big roles were it not for his personal problems.
3 Chris Farley
It wasn't long before Chris Farley managed to win over a sizeable portion of Saturday Night Live's audience. In fact, by the end of his famous motivational speaker sketch, some people were already referring to him as the reincarnation of John Belushi.
The fact that Belushi could have also made this list seemingly speaks to the pressures that come with being a high-energy, always-on comedian who achieves sudden fame. Following his appearance in a few major comedy films, those close to Farley began to worry that the actor's struggles with obesity and drug abuse had finally gotten the better of him. Despite the warning signs, Farley's death by overdose at the peak of his career came as a genuine shock to his legion of fans.
2 Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe will forever be the ultimate case study into the relationship between fame, fortune, and drug abuse. You could certainly make the argument that Monroe isn't the most famous actress of all-time, but it's hard to think of another performer who rose to the levels of fame she enjoyed in such a short amount of time. Monroe wasn't just famous; she was an American institution.
In retrospect, it was clear that Monroe's personal and professional life were in decline prior to her death by overdose. However, most people still saw Monroe as the ultimate movie star who was just one good role away from turning it all around. The sudden death of this world-famous beauty suddenly caused a lot of people to reconsider what being a celebrity really means.
1 Honorable Mention - Robert Downey Jr.
Before we leave, let's take a look at a story that would have likely topped this list had it played out like many felt it was going to. Following a disappointing stint on Saturday Night Live, Downey Jr. decided to try his hand at being a movie star. The transition suited him quite well, as Downey's role in Less Than Zero inspired some to name him the best young actor in Hollywood. Unfortunately, Downey barely got to enjoy his time at the top before his all-consuming drug habit essentially buried his career.
Well...at least that's what everyone thought. As many of you no doubt know, Downey turned a few noteworthy dramatic roles in the mid-2000s (including appearances in Zodiac and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) into a starring role in Iron Man. Downey's exceptional portrayal of Tony Stark is not only widely credited with reviving his career as a blockbuster actor, but is often cited as the cornerstone of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
What other actors can you name whose careers tanked as a result of their drug problems? Let us know in the comments.

Why You're Dimming Your Light (And How To Stop)/
We've all heard a phrase similar to the following: Never dim your light for anyone. In theory, this statement is easy to accept and agree with. But what about in practice? What do you do when competition and jealousy begin to rear their head in your relationship? Here are some tips to ensure your date/partner appreciates and encourages you to shine bright.
Know Your Worth - Having a healthy sense of self-worth is important for your own wellness and personal satisfaction. With that being said, the way that you regard yourself can have a significant impact on your relationships. If you are unsure of yourself and insecure about your abilities, you may attract a partner that will exploit that. Focusing on confidence building help you feel more comfortable in your own skin, which can help you feel more attractive and help you attract the right mate.
Connect With Other Superstars - When the norm among your friends is to conform to predetermined expectations and diminish your greatness, it can be increasingly difficult to break free from that mold. Seek out connections with other women that are successful on the dating scene, while resisting the urge to sacrifice their happiness in the process.
Banish Your Fear - Fear of your inability to find a partner that will truly accept you for who you are often fuels temptation to scale down certain aspects of your personality, boundaries and successes. Instead of focusing on quantity, focus on quality instead. The last thing you want are a string of dates or partners that will encourage you to deny all the positive aspects of who you are. Instead of focusing on what you're afraid of, make decisions based on your hopes, dreams and the potential for positive outcomes instead.
Healthy connections are always better than more connections. While they may be fewer in number, a healthy relationship will allow your light to grow and flourish more beautifully than you could ever imagine.

Love the Cafe, where I know I will get answers to this:
Grisman & Danny Barnes played in Portland last night, and I got a signed copy of his "Book of David" Dawg Roots book. Got home, getting ready to go to a Passover Seder and I see the first song is Shalom Aleichem. AND in the introduction he writes:
"In 2005, I arranged the piece for the orchestra at Mandolin Symposium and that piece has since been taken up by quite a few mandolin ensembles."
Anybody know where I might get this music, score, parts?
I did a quick search of a few sources but could only find the CD or the book that I already (obviously) have.
I already appreciate your response!

CAR : attacks against humanitarian workers are unacceptable
Remarks to the press by Mr. François Delattre, Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations
30 January 2018
One word first on the situation in the CAR, as we are about to vote on a resolution renewing the sanctions regime in the country. Just three very quick points on CAR:
1/We strongly believe that the conditions are not met as we speak to ease the arms embargo in the CAR, as illicit arms flowing from neighboring countries into CAR and benefiting armed groups there are still at a high level. The resolution that we are about to vote will renew the measures on the arms embargo, travel bans and assets freezes.
2/ Second, and this is something new, the resolution on CAR focuses on incitement to violence, whether ethnic, religious or against MINUSCA. The sanctions regime will now allow us to sanction individuals who incite violence likely to harm the peace, stability and security of the country. So it sends a strong political message to the perpetrators. Those responsible for inciting such violence must know they will be held accountable. This is something new.
3/ And the second thing that is new in the resolution, equally very important, is the fact that the resolution also focuses on attacks against humanitarian workers, which is now a ground for sanctions. It is a very important point, as there is an increasing number of attacks against humanitarian workers in CAR which is completely unacceptable, and we know that the Central African Republic is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for humanitarian workers. So please pay attention to this resolution. This is a very important one.
Q: Ambassador, how do you assess the situation in Aden? Do you have any plans to discuss the situation in Aden, Yemen?
The situation in Yemen was one of the issues mentioned yesterday during our productive and excellent conversation with President Trump at the White House. So yes, definitively, this is a source of concern and this is one of our priorities.
Q: Ambassador, did you hear anything in Washington and especially in your meeting with President Trump that reassured you about the Iran nuclear dear or perhaps you are even more worried?
It is not up to me of course to say what President Trump told us about this, as I am sure you will understand. The only thing I can say is that yes, this was one of the topics quite high on the agenda of our conversation with the President. And as far as France is concerned, I recalled France's position with respect to the fact that we are strongly attached to the JCPOA but also very concerned about other issues and therefore committed to addressing the best way possible the ballistic missile issue as well as regional issues.
Q: Did Ambassador Haley or any of the US officials indicated to the Security Council when then plan to push for UN actions against Iran?
The short answer is no. In terms of timing, no. Not that I am aware of.
Q: Did you give you any idea what kind of action they might issue?
We know a bit about the American priorities in this respect but there was no sense of timing, no specifics about it yesterday.
Q: About the situation in Syria, what do you expect from this meeting now?
In Syria, I think the situation as we see it, in Eastern Ghouta and Idlib in particular, is simply unacceptable. There is a humanitarian tragedy taking place before our eyes, before the eyes of the international community. The situation is getting worse day after day there and this is our priority today, especially as we are about to have consultations about the humanitarian situation in Syria - and we call for a strong reaction of the international community. We cannot look away confronted with such a tragedy. The visit that we paid yesterday with my colleagues of the Security Council in Washington to the Holocaust Memorial, where we saw the Ceasar exhibition on Syria, was not only heartbreaking but also, I believe, a strong incentive for all of us to take action.
Q: Do you support de Mistura's decision to participate in the Sotchi conference? Do you support De Mistura's decision?
The situation is what it is. Now, in our views, there is no alternative to Geneva and to a UN-led process where, as I said many times, the UN must be front and center. But if we want to succeed in Geneva, there are a couple of things that must be done. First and foremost we need to address the humanitarian tragedy in Eastern Ghouta and Idlib that I was referring to. And secondly, the regime has to engage seriously into discussions and negotiation, which it has so far refused to do, as was illustrated again in the last days.
Q: Ambassador, in the meeting with President Trump, other than the nuclear dear, were there any discussions about the Iran's regional role? Were there any broader discussions about Iran in that meeting?
The situation in Iran was part of our discussions.

So it rained all day today, which meant for me that I was destined for the rollers today.
I don't think anyone is a big fan of indoor riding, I used to not mind it but that was before I found out about three hours on the rollers. Yikes that ended my happiness pretty quickly. Its not to bad because I will just watch something on the laptop.
I did get to see the movie "12 Years a Slave" today and that was pretty good. Its crazy that during someones life they could be thrown into hell for twelve years of their life. I couldn't imagine what that would be like. Having your freedom taken from you and treated like a dog for twelve straight years after you know and have tasted freedom. I would have gone crazy, the sad part is after he got out, SPOILER ALERT, his family had completely moved on and his wife had remarried and his sons had children.
One thing I did learn is that if you are ever in trouble seek Brad Pitt he will always help you out, such a good guy.
After that I got to go over to my Uncles house and have a delicious Italian meal with them and my Grandmother who came into town yesterday for business. I always enjoy getting to spend time with my family.
Well, i guess winter has arrived since its supposed to snow and ice tonight. The only way I will encourage it to snow is if it snows and cancels school tomorrow but melts in time so that I can go out for my Saturday ride. That will work for me.
Until tomorrow…
Connor Brown

APSU Governors Golf set to open Spring at Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate Tournament
APSU Sports Information
Florence, SC – After a nearly intolerable winter that has seen it get little course time, Austin Peay State University men's golf team will tee off the 2014 Spring season when it participates in the Ninth Annual Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate Tournament, Monday and Tuesday, on Hilton Head Island.The tournament will consist of 36 holes Monday and 18 holes more Tuesday. Both days will begin with 8:30am shotgun starts at the Wexford Plantation course, which measures 6,828 yards and is a par 72 layout with a slope rating of 74.2.
This will be the Governors first appearance in the event.
In addition to the Govs, this year's 17-team field includes host Francis Marion, Campbell, Charleston Southern, Cleveland State, Dayton, DePaul , Elon, High Point, Ohio, Presbyterian, Radford, Richmond, USC Aiken, Virginia Commonwealth, Wofford and William & Mary. VCU (70), the Govs (84) and Presbyterian (89) are all rated in the Top 100 of Golf Stat rankings.
"I know the guys are ready to compete even though Mother Nature has been tough on golf practice early on this semester," APSU coach Kirk Kayden said. "Wexford Plantation is a great venue to start our spring season and we are looking forward to playing this quality event."
Weather forced Kayden to forego qualifying for the opening event. As a result, he will go with the lineup that he used greatly during the fall, led by a pair of All-Ohio Valley Conference seniors in Anthony Bradley and Marco Iten. Another senior Trey Tarpley also will compete along with a pair of sophomores, Chris Baker and Austin Kramer.
That lineup figures to fit the shorter but challenging course, which was rebuilt under the eye of the Arnold Palmer Design Co., in 2011
"Length off the tee will not be an issue this week as the course is 6,914 from the tips," Kayden said. "It will be a matter of who can chip and putt the ball well."
The Governors are the defending OVC champs and gained a program-best seventh-place tie in the NCAA Tempe Regional in May. In the fall, the Govs played in five tournaments and gained Top 5 finishes in each, including first place at the (Cincinnati) Bearcat Invitational. The Governors, in fact, have recorded 18 straight Top 5 finishes, a fact not lost on his Governors squad.
"I like the motivation of our team early on in this semester," Kayden said.

"We are committed to providing these scientists--and the nearly 300 scientists who are already part of HHMI--with the freedom and flexibility they need in order to make lasting contributions to mankind," said Thomas R. Cech, HHMI's president. "We want and expect them to be daring."
HHMI chose the 43 scientists through a nationwide competition that began in 2004 when the Institute asked approximately 200 universities, medical schools, and institutes to nominate candidates who demonstrated exceptional promise within 4 to 10 years of their becoming independent scientists. More than 300 individuals were nominated.
Dr. Lowe is Deputy Director of the CSHL Cancer Center and is a world leader in the field of cancer biology. His research is focused on understanding programmed cell death and cellular senescence, on elucidating how cancer cells thwart these protective processes, and on developing improved cancer therapies. (For more about Lowe's research, see the links provided below.)
Dr. Hannon is a pioneer in the field of RNA interference. His research program seeks to understand the biology of the process and to harness the power of RNA interference for finding novel approaches to treating human cancer. (For more about Hannon's research, see the links provided below.)
Bruce Stillman, president of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, said, "The appointment of Hannon and Lowe continues the tradition of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory scientists being selected as HHMI investigators. We are thrilled that the efforts of our researchers are being recognized in this way."
"These scientists are on the rapidly rising slope of their car

Yes ladies and gentlemen, it is the band you remember. Now under Alan McGee's management, the London outfit are back and this time, is humble!
No one will forget the pantomime antics of ten years ago, which was a shame as, lurking behind the bravado were some decent punk tunes. However, their return last year saw them in a redemptive mood. Comeback single 'Shot In The Dark' felt like an emotive plea for a second chance. On new single 'Send In The Roses', the great rock n roll apology continues.
Make no mistake, this is not the sound of a band getting older and losing their edge. It's the echoes of a band with clarity and a self-determination to prove their worth. Moreover, there is a self-awareness to the lyrics which will warm the hearts of anyone who felt wanted them to win first time out.
Guitar music is most definitely on the march again and, with punk-pop like this in its arsenal, it will dominate airwaves once again.

One pot spanish chicken and rice
- Heat the oil in a large pot or pan over a medium heat and then add the chicken pieces and brown for 2 to 3 minutes, before adding the chorizo sausage and sautéing for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the onions, garlic and red pepper, and sauté for a few minutes until the chorizo sausage releases red oil and the vegetables have softened slightly.
- Add the rice and mix thoroughly and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to coat it all in oil.
- Add the stock, paprika and thyme and place a lid on the pot. Simmer over a very low heat, with the lid on, for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked and tender and the rice is soft and has absorbed all the liquid. (Can also be cooked in the oven, for 1 hour, at 180C/350F/Gas mark 4)
- Adjust the seasoning and gently fluff up the rice and mix all the vegetables and chicken through, before adding the olives and the chopped thyme.
- Serve immediately, setting the pot on the table, with crusty bread and salad if you like.

Hi, I'm a senior in high school (it's the summer before my senior year) and I have been having trouble finding colleges with good physics programs. There are the obvious schools, such as UC Berkeley, Princeton, MIT, etc., but I am wondering what other colleges there are with good physics programs. My long term goal is to get a Ph.D. and be an astrophysicist. I read that aspiring astrophysicists should major in physics as an undergrad, and then specialize in astrophysics as a graduate, is this true? As far as the colleges go, money is not a factor at the moment; it will definitely play a role in which school I decide on attending after I find out which ones accept me or not (but for now, any recommendations are greatly appreciated). Thanks so much in advance!

Oh, the good old 8-bit days of gaming. Who can we forget the chiming dings of Super Mario mystery bricks, the sprawling breadth of The Legend of Zelda, the stunning cinematic grandeur of Ninja Gaiden?
Times were simpler, TV sets were heavier, mullets were longer but boy, those 1980s Nintendo games were absolutely fun. I've spent countless hours as a kid laboring through some of these admittedly devilishly difficult games just because, like Mount Everest, they were there. There were no cloud-based achievements, no online profiles, no downloadable content - it's just you versus the machine (and maybe a few neighborhood friends).
Feeling a little bit nostalgic yet? Although 8-bit revivalists have been re-experiencing these games through emulators or via Nintendo's Virtual Console, nothing compares to the sheer tactile joy of handling the real hardware as we knew it. The blocky, hard plastic feel of the rectangular controller, the mushy buttons, the blowing of the cartridge (ok, maybe not that), the satisfying click of the "On" button and most importantly, the look of that gray, monolithic gaming appliance as it is proudly displayed in the living room - for a 1980s kid, it's the centerpiece for instant cool.
Today, Nintendo is giving all of you gamers a chance to relive it all. The company is releasing the NES Classic Edition, a $60-miniature version of the Nintendo Entertainment System game console that we all know and love. It looks just like the 1980s console except it's smaller, like 5-inch-wide smaller.
Among its updated specs, it connects to modern flatscreen TVs exclusively via the ubiquitous HDMI connector and it is powered either via micro USB or through the included power adapter.
And to the delight of CRT fans, it has various HDTV display modes to choose from. There's 4:3 mode (default mode), pixel-perfect mode (displays each pixel as a square) and will be the obvious retro favorite, the CRT filter mode that aims to simulate the scan lines, the blurriness, the dodgy picture of an old TV. In short, the CRT filter mode will make the games look like how they looked back in the 1980s.
The included controller is also an exact replica of the original. It looks, feels, and plays the same - a perfect clone. Unfortunately, it merely comes with a 30-inch cord and this might pose a problem for big-screen TV equipped living rooms. Playing Ice Climber in its full pixelated glory while sitting three feet away from a 70-inch screen is not exactly the immersive experience I'm looking for.
If you still have your old NES game cartridges lying around, be forewarned, the NES Classic Edition will not play those since it doesn't have a cartridge slot. Instead, it comes preloaded with 30 of the most beloved Nintendo games from that era - games like Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, etc.
Here is the list of the included games:
- Balloon Fight
- Bubble Bobble
- Castlevania
- Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
- Donkey Kong
- Donkey Kong Jr.
- Double Dragon II: The Revenge
- Dr. Mario
- Excitebike
- Final Fantasy
- Galaga
- Ghosts'n Goblins
- Gradius
- Ice Climber
- Kid Icarus
- Kirby's Adventure
- Mario Bros.
- Mega Man 2
- Metroid
- Ninja Gaiden
- Pac-Man
- Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
- StarTropics
- Super C
- Super Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros. 2
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Tecmo Bowl
- The Legend of Zelda
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
For $60, this is still an impressive lineup.
So now, maybe you're itching and you can't wait to get one, right? Well, hold on to your coins, Luigi, since it looks like it's already sold out online.
As of this writing, it is already sold out on Amazon and third-party sellers are selling units for as high as $599!
If you want to get one today your best bet will be in brick and mortar stores like Best Buy, Target, Walmart or Gamestop. Hurry up, though, since supplies are limited.
Judging by the warm reception of this retro console, Nintendo will surely ramp up production of the NES Classic just in time to stuff millions of stockings throughout this Christmas season. I'll bet this will be the must-have gift of the year. Ka-Ching!

What's in your handbag?
Hey dolls! We are totally thrilled to have had the pleasure of talking to some incredibly inspiring women from different professions who have shared a few of their secrets with us about a lady's every-day tool; our handbags.
We know now that what we hold in our handbags usually speaks volumes about who we are as a person, and as it is a bit of a taboo to just go rummaging through another woman's handbag (unfortunately), we thought we'd ask these gorgeous ladies about the contents of their own handbag and get to know them a little better.
So let us introduce these simply brilliant and inspirational ladies:
Total babe and songstress Lola Coca. Her debut single "Bad Girlfriend" is definitely one of our faves at WE KOKO. London based, she has worked alongside the incredible writer/producer, Stefan Starbek, who worked with the infamous Amy Winehouse. We love Lola's nonchalant way with words that speak frankly about what most of us are probably thinking but just too scared to say. We can't wait to see what she's got coming next!
1. Which bag bests defines who you are?
– Saint Laurent
– Chloè
– Moschino
– Topshop
– A leather backpack
– Sequin covered bumbag
- A leather backpack.
2. Are you an over carrying 'Mary Poppins type' or conveniently light packer when it comes to your handbag contents?
Super light. Only my card, ID and lip liner.
3. What three things can you not leave the house without (minus your phone)?
You would think my keys but I lock myself out 24/7. Lip liner, headphones… I'm a light packer I can't even go to number 3…
4. Do you have a favourite nibble / snack that you carry in your handbag?
Almonds all day.
5. What is the most embarrassing thing you've pulled out of your handbag?
Last nights pants when you're at the till paying for coffee. Tragic.
6. I would prefer to carry my whole makeup bag if it wasn't so heavy. But I've learnt to compromise with my go-to pieces: what three items of makeup can you not leave the house without?
Lip liner, a highlighter and concealer.
Health Coach and Hay House Author of "The Goddess Revolution: Make Peace With Food, Love Your Body and Reclaim Your Life." She helps women end the war on their bodies, quit dieting for life, and embrace rewarding and fulfilling relationships with food. YES. She is pretty incredible; at the minute she is coaching women all over the world 1-1 or via her online academy and luxury retreats.
1. I am always changing my handbag, which I think defines me perfectly as I'm constantly evolving and changing as a person. If I had to pick it would be Moschino.
2. Totally a Mary Poppins. I work from my laptop so I always have my laptop and my charger in my handbag, plus my phone charger. That plus everything else requires a big bag!
3. Three things I can't leave the house without are my laptop, my charger, and my lipgloss.
4. A green smoothie, which I blend in the mornings and then take on the go with me! It's my go to, especially if I'm on the road.
5. Not a lot embarrasses me so I'd say the most embarrassing thing I've pulled out of my handbag would probably be parking tickets.
6. Mac mineralize powder, lipgloss and concealer.
British model and total beauty. Her down-to-earth personality and humour is so addictive that when we are looking through her Instagram; we just can't stop strolling! She proves how hard work pays off but also if you have any questions Chloe is always extremely honest and direct to those who ask. We love you Chloe.
1. Saint Laurent – I'm obsessed!
2. In the day time I carry so much crap but in the evening I try to have as little as possible!
3. Bank card, hair brush, keys!
4. Whatever I can find before I leave… Which is usually nothing because I never have snacks in the house (I eat them as soon as I get them) Ha! I prefer to grab something when I'm out.
5. When I used to carry my hair extensions around for shoots in my bag!… Not something you want to accidentally pop out on a train! Looks like you have a human head in your handbag… Awkward.
6. I love my Bobbi Brown concealer because it comes with a powder too – perfect for going out. Also a Mac lip liner ('strip down' is my current fave) to top up my lips and a makeup brush to rebuff anything that's gone wrong!!
Personal trainer and fitness model formerly known as Miss England is an all round love bug. Her Instagram motives are MOVE | LOVE | EXPLORE; and we totally agree. Her busy work schedule has kept her moving, successfully triumphing in each career path she has chosen. She is a powerful and inspirational woman who shows us how a healthy life is a happy one. Charlotte does 'Get F-HIIT' training sessions so sign up now to have the chance to meet Charlotte and work out with her!
1. A leather backpack.
2. A conveniently light packer actually! But I love shoes!
3. Lip balm (paw paw)… Because dry lips are NEVER the one! Sunglasses – because training outdoors is better without sun in your eyes! And a hair tie – because the moment that hair gets tied up into a top knot… I mean business in the gym!!
4. Yeah I'm obsessed with the coconut and macadamia bounce balls!
5. My electric toothbrush… On the tube in rush hour… It started vibrating inside my bag. Ok so actually the getting it out was the good bit – I was properly embarrassed by then!
6. – Mac dual eyebrow palette in brunette
– Dior Mascara
– Chanel highlighter
is the ultimate British Make Up Artist, born and raised in Essex. Her creative talents are what led her to work for Vogue Japan and alongside other incredible artists. Bea is such an admiring lady who celebrates women's beauty in all shapes and forms!
1. Ok can I go with the Moschino Power Puff Girls Capsule Collection? My favourite Power Puff character is Buttercup but I recently got the Blossom bag because I liked the extra pigtail tassels!
2. Mary Poppins, I think ahead all the time, I'm a planner. If I'm working with a celebrity I will be thinking "hmm they might want X Y Z" which could be anything from a phone charger to aspirin, so I shove it all in my bag. If I'm on set I'm like "hmm I might want to change my lip colour" so in goes another palette. If I'm just by myself I tend to pack lighter, but I'm rarely by myself.
3. Number 1: I have a keyring of my girlfriend and I, from when I took her on the tourist rounds of london to Madame Tussauds, it's a really bad photo because we weren't expecting the camera and she's looking down and I'm looking sideways but it makes me laugh! Number 2: my diary. I find it visually easier to hold a book and see my schedule for the upcoming week written down in a hard format, so i carry ti everywhere and i'm very particular about the specifics of my diary, it has to fit in to a handbag and the page layout has to be weekly. Number 3: a hair band. Unsurprisingly I am very specific about the hair bands I use too because I am aiming for Ariel mermaid hair now so I'm looking to keep it from breakages. I like to use there from H&M…
because they're really gentle and don't have any metal bits so never snag, they're like hair band halos.
4. Dried mango pieces from M&S, they're like giant soft heavenly moist buttercup coloured slices and aren't actually dried.
5. I'm going to spin a curveball and say it's more embarrassing when I DON'T pull something out that I should have in there – It's mortifying when you have your kit bag on set and forget to pack something you really need (such as THE lipstick) and you hold the whole shoot up because you've had to send an assistant running to get it.
6. – NARS Audacious Lipstick in Anna. I love this shade for black skin and I also love this shade for my skin,
it has a semi matte finish and I always seem to have it in my handbag which means I must love it.
– Something that has made a really recent appearance in my handbag is this Mac Cosmetics Prep + Prime transparent finishing powder;
It's one of the things I check for before I leave the house alongside "phone, keys…"
– A lip balm, I like Oulis Ointment in 15ml as the perfect handbag size, and a 50ml for my bedside table at home. If I'm wearing a matte lipstick then it's really important to prep lips first to avoid chapping, so I use this:
British actress, Hollyoaks star (obsessed) and model. She is a complete beauty who has appeared in campaigns such as Tresemme and Gok Wan's eponymous fashion collection. However alongside her successful modelling career Sophie has had roles in films such as 'Juniper Ascending' and Justin Chadwick's new feature film 'Tulip Fever'. Of course we now religiously watch her on 'Hollyoaks' where she plays Ellie Nightingale.
1. A leather backpack. I'm always getting up to mischief, so I need both hands free! I love a backpack.
2. I just like to carry the essentials, it's not about slugging your life around on your arm.
3. Before leaving the house I repeat to myself: 'Phone, purse, keys'. As long as I have those, everything else is just a bonus. I also have slight addiction to Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream for my lips, so one of those is always thrown in my bag somewhere.
4. I'm never that organised. I'm a grab on the go sort of girl.
5. There's always the classic getting your purse out in front of a gorgeous shop assistant and your tampon falls out. Half the population used them so I survived haha.
6. – Concealer – for cover up
– Mascara
– And eye brow filler
Got those and my face is sorted.

Grand Designs by AproposPublished on 18th November 2014
If you've happened to be watching Channel 4 on Wednesday nights for the last six weeks, the chances are that you would have watched Grand Designs. The show has been on our screens for 15 years, showcasing some of the best – and occasionally the worst – of British architecture in action. Whether it's been done poorly or well, there is one thing that the programme has made clear; glass is becoming an ever more important aspect of the modern home.
At Apropos, probably for slightly obvious reasons, we're always most interested in the glazed aspects of Grand Designs. Of course, we're fascinated by the innovations; floating staircases; new insulation forms; green technology. We also applaud the craftsmanship which goes into some of these designs, and the hands-on 'can-do' attitude of the self-builders, even when faced with dispiriting adversity. However, it's the jeopardy of the glazing which keeps us amused; will the windows arrive on time? Will the glazing fit? Will the sliding doors… slide???
Working with glass isn't easy – for starters, it's probably the most easily broken element of any building. However, at Apropos we don't really see the need for all the drama; if you plan sensibly, measure carefully – twice! – and listen to your client's needs, glazing can be the most beautiful and stress-free element of any big home design project.
Apropos work with individual homeowners, architectural firms, and building contractors, on projects as small as lean-to conservatories, and as big as complete home renovations. We design and build bespoke greenhouses and glazed verandas; we install glazed curtain walling and skylights; we create atria, glazed walkways, orangeries, kitchen extensions, various door types, and industrial gazing; and we do it all using the same principles: quality, professionalism and attention to detail.
Working closely with both clients and their architects, we are able to come up with unique designs to bring natural light flooding into buildings. Trusting to the unbeatable strength of aluminium, polyester powder-coated a suitable shade to compliment the overall colour scheme of the structure we're working on, we can create not just workable home extensions, but beautiful feats of architecture rendered in glass. And because we make everything we need for every one of our projects, we're able to work closely with our clients, to incorporate their dreams and theories into our designs, so that the end result is more their vision than ours.
Kevin McCloud's Grand Designs has been inspiring, infuriating, confounding and awing us for years, and is now considered to be a key barometer of architectural trends and developments from outside of the industry. It is a place where innovations – both successful and otherwise – are displayed in all their glory; a place where the layperson can see contemporary architecture in action. With our cutting edge technological processes and entirely bespoke design service, Apropos is very much at the heart of that industry. And our clients are very much at the heart of Apropos.
To start planning your own Grand Design get in touch with Apropos today on 0161 342 8217 or request a design consultation here.
