STEPMOTHER: 6 The most evil stepmothers that exist in real life!
Stepmother in popular culture has a pretty bad reputation of being evil witch. Some of them have such reputation because of terrible crimes they committed.
Of course, there are good ones, excellent stepmothers that give their best and lovingly raising stepchildren, but that does not mean that all such like that. There is a terrible story and background of the individual families in which the stepmother has the role of 'the mother'.
We bring you a list of several stepmothers who have done horrible crimes against stepchildren past few years.
Jessica Ann Cox
Jessica was arrested in 2013 under charges that she handcuffed and tortured her two stepsons. Two teenagers have testified that they were not fed for three days, she tied them and would beat with mallets, drove them completely naked to get into a bathtub filled with ice cubes and cold water, also burn them with cigarettes
Misty Stoddard
Misty was arrested on charges that she murdered her autistic stepdaughter who died of brain damage caused by oxygen. She allegedly tied 11-year-old girl to a wooden plank with her mouth duct-taped closed, and other similar things.
Shaquila L. Byrd
35-year-old Shaquila pleaded guilty to endangering the life of her five-year old stepson. About him, it was heard from school staff who reported that the child was covered with bruises and burns also malnourished. Shaquila admitted that she was punishing him with push-ups and hitting with a belt. She later admitted to a judge that she locked him in the room when he return from school where he remained until the next day.
Heather Leavell-Keaton
Brutal stepmother who was sentenced to death because of the abuse, torture and murder of her 5 and 3 years old stepchildren. The father was also convicted of involvement.
Sick duo have used cigarettes and hot wax from the candles and dosed the children with toxic antifreeze. The children were tragically found chocked to their death.
Tracey Wright
31-year-old stepmother Tracey was 'only' 15 years in prison because she was convicted for the death of her six-year old stepdaughter. The report states that she brutally beat a girl and left her to die of starvation.
Tonya Schmidt
Tonya is a wicked stepmother who was arrested for torturing her six-year old stepdaughter by burning her hands. The investigation showed that the abuse lasted at least three years.

Styling & Profiling
it's been a hot-minute since my last post (almost 2 weeks) but I had a huge photoshoot last week and by the time I'd finished returning all the pieces I pulled, and unpacked my suitcase- it was time to pack it again and fly back to Toronto. In the midst of my week running around London, I read a hilariously inaccurate account of what it's like to be a Stylist. I decided to compile my own list and interview a few of my stylist/creative friends from around the globe for their take. The second reason this post is coming so late - is that with my friends busy schedules it took a few days to pin them down and have them share their own styling experiences.
While I haven't got the spreads and years of experience my friends do, I will share a little of my experience here; I got into styling when I was first designing, it was an easy transition. Designing womenswear and styling my own designs on set - it also meant I started out without having to do massive pulls (all the garments were already at my disposal). Later when I made the switch to creative direction, I would hire a stylist to style my pieces so as to not cloud my judgement being too attached to things i'd made myself. Since that I've worked styling; menswear, off-figure and even the occasional celeb (however all the celebs i've dressed were through various luxury retailers I've worked for). ....
More times than I can count a message will pop up in my inbox or a friend will invite me out for drinks to ask me, "What it's like being a stylist?' or "How long til you start making a lot of money?" or "how long until you get your first cover?"
While I love a free drink or latte , I decided to create this list to save us both some time... there is no shortcut or predetermined amount of time for becoming a successful creative (or any job for that matter) and working in fashion is not all glitter and glamour...
7 Things No one Told You about Becoming a Stylist
That myth about the flighty, air-headed fashion girl/guy who can't open a jar?
Forget it!
Organization + Muscles are key here. Imagining spending 2 full days pulling samples from several PR showrooms and stores. Keeping all your loan dockets or receipts (if you're buying and returning) organized is one thing. Having the strength to carry it all is another story, the weight of those dresses, shoes and suits really add up! Before you know it you'll be sporting an admirable pair of biceps and cancelling your gym membership. In order to be successful you must have an amazing sense of organization (I like to think of my method as organized chaos), the ability to foresee problems, plan looks and storyboards in your head and later translate your vision to a team and be able to couple this mental strength with the physical ability of carrying heavy objects and the endurance to work long days on set. The majority of the time you will be dealing with early (7 am call times) and if working outside be prepared for extreme climates. We often shoot fall/winter in spring or summer and vice versa.
2. Mobility.
Working as a stylist means you may be tasked with a far-off location shoot, or just one at a studio on the edge of town. But before that you have to pull all your pieces. Visiting showrooms, and high-end retailers all over the city is not as glamourous as it seems. I can't tell you how many times I've had to remind those (even in the industry) that styling is not simply shopping for a living. You often are limited to certain number of pieces, so you have to make tough choices (Which silver pump shall I pull?) and avoid pulling too much for fear of breaking your back.
Although my policy is always "I'd rather have it and not need it - than need it and not have it"... sometimes the physical limitations of carrying all that stuff mean you only select one large metal crown instead of all three.
If there isn't a budget for car service, unlimited taxis or couriers - You will have to arrive to the above locations with a large suitcase and strategically pack all the items to avoid any damage. You will become an expert at packing and unpacking and arrive on set with a full backpack, tote bag, giant suitcase, and 4 garment bags flung over your shoulder.
3. Model Maintenance...
You will become the first point of contact with the model(s), building up an unnaturally close relationship in a few short hours. You will see them naked, help them remove their bra/ undergarments, clean their sweat marks off garments and have to tie their shoelaces or buckle- buckles for them. If the model is hot and their makeup begins to run... you will be the one fanning them. If the model is cold... you better have a blanket, winter coat (for outdoor shoots) or your own sweater to wrap them in. The model's wellbeing is your responsibility so some snacks in your prop kit (while you wait for catering) won't hurt either. You need a happy model for good shots and you will be the first line of defense.
While changing looks the two of you will share a laugh over the photographer's quirks or roll your eyes in unison over how long the makeup artist is taking.

4. Creativity and Availability ...
It's happened more than once to me .... PR company X promised me samples from XYZ designer and now that shoot time has come the samples have been loaned to another publication or are off in Milan for a Designer event. You are left with options B,C and sometimes D. You rely on your creativity to make the shoot happen... while the Cavalli samples may no longer be available you remember passing an almost exact copy in the Topshop window... off to Topshop you go.
You need to source seven unique headpieces for a shoot but were only able to find four? You turn necklaces and even a christmas garland from Wal-mart into headpieces and call it a day. On the day of the shoot the photographer asks you for some additional looks? now you are putting female models in men's clothes (god bless the Gender-neutral trend), turning pieces backwards and upside-down or strategically pinning a model into a large piece of fabric and creating a custom dress on set while the rest of the team watches. (NO pressure!)
5. Magic ...
There will (hopefully) always be a magical moment a few looks in, where you look into the camera or on a lightbox monitor and find yourself overwhelmed with joy. As the shoot unfolds, and the set, lighting, hair, makeup, model and your perfectly styled looks combine you'll find yourself breathing a little easier... the stress of the past few days is over and you are creating some beautiful images. This feeling will return a few weeks later when you finally see the edited images in print or online - you never tire of that feeling.
6. It's not over when the shoots over...
The photographer heads home to make his or her selects, the makeup artist washes her brushes and you stare at a giant pile of clothes, shoes and accessories. If you're lucky enough to have an assistant or intern - the two of you began repacking and sorting the garments by showroom. In the following days you make the trek to wherever you pulled or bought all these fabulous pieces. You pray they're all in good condition, that you haven't mispackaged anything and that you haven't forgotten an item. By this time you are now an expert at maneouvring a giant suitcase through busy streets and public transit. Each pitstop is a chance to share how the shoot went and every PR worth their salt will want to know how the shoot went, which pieces you ended up shooting, and when they can expect to see the final images.
7. Cost....
The last thing i'll mention that no one tells you about styling... is the cost involved. While you may be able to pull the majority of your pieces from showrooms for free there will always be unexpected costs. The Uber you took when your back was breaking, the taxi you called when you found yourself in a bad part of town with $20,000 in designer accessories in your bag. The 3 metres of sequinned fabric and feathers you just had to have to create the final look or the trips to the craft store for thread, double-sided tape, baubles and fabric paint so you can customize something.
There is also the slight chance you could damage a sample on set, hopefully you've built up a good rapport with whomever you've pulled it from.
Of course accidents are often unavoidable (a grease stain on a pair of tan leather boots) or waking up the morning after your shoot (your floor covered in runway samples) to find the fire alarm sounding and firefighters pulling your neighbours out of their apartments, Yes this actually happened to me last week - luckily my flat and all the clothes were fine!
That concludes my personal list of stylist secrets but don't take my word for it - below I've rounded up some feedback from my friends (and experts!) in the field.
Amarsana who's styled high-fashion spreads and celebrities the world over, Chantel who's styled commercials, music videos and lookbooks [even styled me over the phone once or twice ;)] and Sharad who's menswear expertise has led him to style celebrities, athletes, magazine cover stories, runway shows and everything in between.
I asked all three of them 2 questions ; Whats one misconception people have about being a stylist and What has been your most interesting (Good or Bad) moment on set?
Check out their answers below...
What's one misconception people have about being a stylist?
you actually need to be physically strong!
What has been your most interesting moment on set?
2. Arrive to South of France. 10 pm. My shoot is the next day. Airline lost my suitcase with samples (I got it a week after). I get to the hotel - box of samples didn't arrive. I spent all night on the phone with airline and fedex. Nothing arrived on time. After 2 hours of sleep I still woke up with a smile on my face and knew I can make it work with what I have. Of course I still had other samples. Anyways the point of this is that stuff happens, things get lost or delayed but stay positive! it worked out great and I love the result. In fact it is one of my favorites.
What's one misconception people have about being a stylist?
I think one of the most common misconceptions that most people have when it comes to being a stylist, is what it actually means and entails. Being a stylist is much more than simply putting clothing on a person!!
what has been your most interesting (good or bad) experience on set ?
Well, I think the most I interesting time on set, was when I was just starting out and I was brought on to work a music video for a certain "rapper" and R n B singer. We were shooting a music video in an affluent area of the city and of course went over the scheduled wrap time (we all know how that goes). As we were shooting into the night we got a surprise visit from the police, asking what we were doing and that it was time to wrap it up. After a bit of finesse and "$mooth talking" we were able to finish shooting the video without any further interruption.
Whats one misconception people have about being a stylist?
"Where does one begin. I'll try not to go on a rant about this- I think one thing people don't know about styling is the personal sacrifice. A photographer has a studio from where he/she works and a makeup artist has his/her kit that they carry around. A stylist unfortunately doesn't have a bottomless closet from where he/she can pull from. A stylist spends days scouring the city going from place to place to source the clothes that become the backbone of any shoot. And if you're new most of that is purchased on your credit card- which means that if there's the slightest rip or makeup stain guess who fronts the bill? Yup, us. If there's one thing I'd love for people to be aware off is how much of our own personal money/credit is put on the line for any given shoot, creative or not.
what has been your most interesting (good or bad) experience on set ?... Fortunately I can say that i've definitely been blessed to have more good experience than bad. With that being said i'll share a few good ones and one very valuable bad experience. Early in my career I was approached by reputable magazine to style an editorial for them. It was unpaid (which is another thing people should know, most of us starting work for free) with the promise of a 6 page spread in the magazine. With only two days to prepare and 8 models to style I quite literally felt like a chicken without a head. Nevertheless, I pulled more than $50k worth of merchandise and arrived on set. After a successful shoot I spent the next 3 days returning all the clothes and awaiting news about the editorial. The magazine didn't let me see any selects or proofs and went straight to print. When i finally received my copy I flipped through the magazine eagerly searching for my story only to be confronted by the fact that my story went from 6 page spread to a 1 pager with three thumbnail images. It was in that moment I realized two things, one that I'd never work for free again and two that I would always demand 100% creative control over the content I create. Fortunately since then I've been blessed to be surrounded by people who've appreciated and nurtured that ambition. Through their kindness and faith in my ability I've had the privilege to work on some amazing projects. From styling Joffrey Lupul for over 40 home games, to working with Jose Bautista for the cover of The Bay St Bull, to building 2 amazing menswear magazines which features countless editorials and celebrities features there's very little I can say other than that I'm deeply humbled and blessed to have been awarded these opportunities.

New Delhi: The domestic indices ended nearly 1 percent higher on Monday taking cues from its Asian counterparts.
The S&P BSE Sensex ended at 34,446, up 304 points while the broader Nifty50 index settled at 10,583, up 92 points.
Among sectoral indices, the Nifty Realty index surged over 3 percent on Monday led by a rise in shares of Oberoi Realty and Prestige Estates Projects and the Nifty Auto index ended over 2 percent led by Maruti Suzuki India and Tata Motors.
Later this week, the market participants will look forward to key economic data such as Nikkei Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), Fiscal Deficit and Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Investor sentiment was bolstered after a Morgan Stanley report said India's economic recovery is expected to have gathered momentum and GDP growth for the December quarter is likely to have accelerated to 7 percent. The GDP numbers will be released on Wednesday.
A firming trend on Asian and European bourses following a good show by Wall Street on Friday added to the buying momentum, brokers said.
The 30-share BSE Sensex opened on a strong footing at 34,225.72 and maintained its upward trend to hit the day's high of 34,483.39 before ending at 34,445.75, up 303.60 points, or 0.89 percent.
This level was last seen on February 5, when the Sensex had closed at 34,757.16. The index had rallied 322.65 points in the previous session on Friday on value-buying by investors in recently-battered blue-chip stocks. The Nifty finished the day at 10,582.60, showing a hefty gain of 91.55 points, or 0.87 percent, after shuttling between 10,592.95 and 10,520.20.
"Market is gradually recovering lost ground, supported by positive global cues. Investors are waiting for Q3 GDP and IIP data. GDP is expected to grow at 6.9 percent which has raised a positive sentiment while reducing the volatility in the market," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services, reported news agency Press Trust of India.
Gains were led by realty, auto, capital goods, banking, infrastructure, metals, power, oil & gas, PSU and consumer durables sectors, which rose up to 3.30 percent. IT, tech and healthcare indices ended in the red.
Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) net bought equities to the tune of Rs 1,514.03 crore, while foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth Rs 486.32 crore on Friday, provisional data showed.
Maruti Suzuki emerged as the leader of the Sensex pack today, with a 3.41 percent rise, followed by Tata Motors at 3.22 percent. Other gainers were IndusInd Bank, L&T, Axis Bank, M&M, Adani Ports, Kotak Mahindra Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Power Grid, Hero MotoCorp, Coal India, Dr Reddy's, HDFC Ltd, HUL, Bajaj Auto, Yes Bank, Asian Paints, RIL, ONGC, Tata Steel and NTPC, gaining up to 2.94 percent.
In contrast, Sun Pharma, TCS, Infosys, ITC, Bharti Airtel, Wipro and SBI succumbed to profit-booking and fell by up to 2.46 percent. In keeping with the overall trend, the small-cap and mid-cap indices rose 0.88 percent and 0.74 percent.
Shares of scam-hit Punjab National Bank lost another 1.32 percent. Gitanjali Gems too slumped 4.84 per cent to Rs 23.60. Shares of Simbhaoli Sugars plunged 15.73 percent today after CBI registered a case against the company, its chairman Gurmit Singh Mann, deputy MD Gurpal Singh and others in connection with an alleged bank loan fraud of Rs 97.85 crore. The company's lender Oriental Bank of Commerce also fell by 10.02 percent.
Most Asian and European markets rallied after US stocks rose last Friday to end a bumpy week with slight gains, as falling bond yields provided a reprieve for investors concerned about rising inflation.
In the Asian region, Japan's Nikkei rose 1.19 percent, Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.74 percent, while Shanghai Composite Index gained 1.23 percent.
European shares too were in the positive zone in their early deals, with Frankfurt's DAX rising 0.78 percent and Paris CAC 40 up 0.72 percent. London's FTSE was up 0.42 percent.

CITY council chiefs breached the law when they turned down a request for tram documents, wrongly claiming the papers had been destroyed, the Scottish Information Commissioner has ruled.
The Evening News revealed last year how the council had responded to a Labour request for documents under freedom of information by claiming it no longer held the relevant material.
Even when Labour asked for the refusal to be reviewed, officials said correspondence was only kept for a year and diaries dating back three and four years were not retained either.
The party accused council chiefs of shredding key documents ahead of a public inquiry into the trams.
But after the Evening News story, council bosses were forced to admit they had made a mistake and some of the papers requested – about the removal of Transport Scotland officials from the board of the trams project – still existed after all. However, they still refused to release the documents, claiming it would be too costly to trawl through the archives to find them.
Some of the papers were later released by government agency Transport Scotland, but they were almost completely blacked out, leaving only the odd paragraph intact. The agency said the information withheld related to the formulation of government policy.
Now the Information Commissioner has ruled the council breached the Freedom of Information Act by erroneously claiming the requested information was no longer held.
The official finding stated: "In its submissions to the commissioner, the council explained that this error was a product of human error, based on an incorrect understanding of its records retention policies.
"The commissioner is disappointed to note that this error occurred, and that the council's review process did not identify it sooner."
It went on to say the council should "consider what lessons might be learned" from the case.
Lothians Labour MSP Kezia Dugdale said: "This is a damning indictment of Edinburgh council and how it operates. The culture of secrecy surrounding the trams is extraordinary, when all this information should be in the public domain.
"Not only did the council breach the law, but the people of Edinburgh are still in the dark. This underlines the need for a full public inquiry into the whole trams fiasco and why it went so badly wrong."
On the cost of providing the information, the commissioner accepted that, on a reasonable estimate, it would cost more than £600 to provide the information asked for and so the council was not obliged to comply with the request.
But the ruling said the council should now offer help to narrow the request and bring it within the cost limits.
Alastair Maclean, city council director of corporate governance, said: "The council notes the commissioner's decision. We have since made changes to improve our management of information requests."

And so begins #MakeStuffUp. How did it start? Well, while the press is in frenzy over Akin, some other stuff did happen today.
The President lied several times today, so naturally MSM is obsessed with the words of a guy most Americans have never heard of before.
— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) August 20, 2012
Yep! President Obama decided to grace the White House press corps with his presence today. Of course, it was an oh-so-convenient excuse to crow over Akin. However, even while crowing, President Obama cannot stop uttering whoppers of lies. Today was no exception. He blatantly lied when he said no one called Mitt Romney a felon.
Another one of the hilariously shameless whoppers was when President Obama claimed, "You can't just make stuff up. That's something you learn as president." Oh, really? Not too long ago he claimed that his biggest mistake was not telling enough stories. And, as we know, his "stories," including composite ones, aren't based on fact much. That hilarity resulted in #ObamaFirstTermStories.
Today? Citizens call out the president for all his made up stuff, which he claims he can't do.
I'll have the most transparent administration in his'try. #MakeStuffUp

British Columbia's ruling Liberal Party and the opposition New Democratic Party were in a dead heat as election campaigning kicked off in the western Canadian province on Tuesday, four weeks before voters go to the polls.The Liberals are seeking a fifth consecutive term, with a backdrop of voters opting for change in the neighboring province of Alberta in the Canadian federal election and in the United States in the past two years.The provincial Liberals are not linked to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party and are more right-leaning.According to the latest Mainstreet/Postmedia poll, which surveyed respondents April 1-3, 26 percent of voters would back the Liberals, 29 percent the NDP, the official opposition, 13 percent the Green Party and 9 percent the Conservative Party.

Architecture of the Stars – Part I
Robert Dinkins
Posted on August 17, 2018
"Astronomy compels the soul to look upward, and leads us from this world to another."
– Plato
This past weekend I had the honor of attending a friend's wedding set in the hill country outside of Boerne, Texas. I had been in town since the Friday afternoon prior to the wedding for the rehearsal dinner and was lucky to spend some time with the groom on his soon-to-be wife's porch that evening. In the country, particularly at dusk as the sun sinks beyond the horizon, there is a calm that covers the landscape like a blanket. You are inclined to soften your voice and observe the transformation happening around you.
As we sat in rocking chairs, discussing the excitement in both of our hearts for their future, I noticed something that often goes missing in the city–the stars. For the Greeks, love is often comedic or tragic, but it can also be faithful, hopeful, and pure. For us, examples of both are set in constellations.
The Western understanding of constellations originates with the Greeks, but the Babylonian-Sumerian civilizations were astronomers before. Though the Greek names are most familiar to us, the idea of a constellation, "a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern that is traditionally named after its apparent form or identified with a mythological figure," also existed in ancient Babylon and ancient Egypt.
Andromeda and Perseus are two such Greek constellations that are surrounded in myth and love. As Perseus returns from slaying the Gorgon Medusa, at the behest of Polydectes, he spies the beautiful Andromeda chained to a rock on the cliffside. Cassiopeia, Andromeda's mother, had bragged about her daughter's beauty to Poseidon and then was forced to offer her as a sacrifice to Cetus, a sea monster and Poseidon's son.
Struck by her beauty, Perseus slays Cetus and frees his new-found bride. Their story is immortalized by the two nearby constellations named for them.
By studying the constellations, we can understand how ancient civilizations viewed their relationship with the divine, but astronomy also has a far more practical purpose. America's founding fathers emphasized the importance of exploring the celestial bodies for meteorological reasons. Benjamin Franklin observed the night sky to better predict the changing of seasons.
Thomas Jefferson's fascination began when he witnessed a lunar eclipse during the Revolutionary War. Decades later, he had a beautiful clock made by Thomas Voigt of Philadelphia. The inside of the clock case was marked so that–like the Great Clock prominently displayed in the Entrance Hall of Monticello still today–the single weight would keep track of the passage of time as it fell.
Nearly a century later in 1897, astronomer George Ellery Hale, with the financing by Charles T. Yerkes and architectural expertise of Henry Ives Cobb, founded the Yerkes Observatory. "The birthplace of modern astrophysics," the observatory is located in Williams Bay, Wisconsin and operated by the University of Chicago. Here, observatories evolved from merely housing telescopes to accommodating physics and chemistry experiments and equipment. The telescope there, constructed by Alvan Clark and Sons, remains the largest refracting telescope ever made, and it boasts a 40″ lens.

Naturopathic Weight Loss
We are a Naturopathic medical clinic that integrates the best of conventional, functional, and holistic medicine. Because we use an individualized, patient-centered medical approach, we can target your specific root cause, lay down the foundations needed to sustain and support good health, and help your weight come off naturally.
In order to reach your goals, health related or not, there are three key necessary steps you must accomplish:
1) Become aware that there is a problem
2) Figure out the root causes to those problems
3) Treat the root cause with natural sustainable methods
If you are aware that you need to lose weight, in order to succeed you must next rule out and resolve any health issues that may be contributing to your weight gain. By going over an extensive health history, following symptom patterns, and ordering the correct blood tests, we can find and address your individual root causes. Without the right diagnosis, it does not matter how great your diet or exercise regimen is, you may be wasting your time and money treating the wrong thing.
Weight gain is not a disease, it is a symptom and the result of a deeper underlying cause. There are numerous reasons why you may not have succeeded in losing weight in the past including:
Medication Side Effects
Food Allergies
Food Sensitivities
Micro-Nutrient Deficiencies
Gut Dysbiosis
Hormone Imbalance
High Estrogen
Low Testosterone
Diabetes/Insulin Resistance
Excess Cortisol
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Chronic Infection
Chronic Fatigue
Chronic Inflammation
Chronic Pain
Autoimmune Disease
Mental Disorders
Sleep Deprivation
Heavy Metal Toxicity
Environmental Toxins
We have seen countless patients try to "eat less and move more", followed the newest fad diets, did exercising regimens, received personal training, replaced their food with ideal protein or meal replacement shakes, taken weight loss supplements, appetite suppressants, thermogenics, diuretics, tried detoxing or cleansing programs. When none of that works, they become disappointed and lose hope.
For the longest time, Dr. Chung used to prescribe "eat less and move more" to all his overweight patients. It worked for some, but not for all. However, after ripping his pants not once, not twice, but THREE times, he soon realized he had to learn new and better ways to individualize weight loss for each and every single one of his patients, including himself.
At Catalyst Natural Health, we have helped hundreds of patients reach their health goals. We understand the personal struggle of gaining and losing weight and have discovered what works. If you want to lose more than just fat, and start making real health gains, then you are ready for Naturopathic medicine and deserve to work with a medical professional who specializes in natural health and weight loss.

President Obama's call to arms against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), like his response to Russia's aggression against Ukraine, steps up U.S. efforts to curb major threats to U.S. interests. Does it also signal a greater commitment by Obama to stand up for democracy in the world? Probably not. But he should make democracy a priority.
The problem with "accommodating" Russia in Ukraine is that Vladimir Putin's goal is sowing chaos as part of a plan to hold on to power in the Kremlin. Click here to read David J. Kramer's American Interest op-ed.

U.S. policy on democracy support, especially during the Obama administration, has been largely reactive. We seem to be constantly playing (and mostly losing) a giant game of Whac-a-Mole. Click here to read Daniel Calingaert's American Interest op-ed.

Physical Security
When we think of Information Security, we often think of firewalls, routers and password protection. But it's actually much more than that. Information security is the process of protecting the value and integrity of data… and that starts when you first walk in the door. Here are some basic tips and questions to consider during the process of establishing security for your office. While no system is guaranteed, it's a great place to start:
Physical measures such as office cameras and internet ready DVR will give you the ability to monitor persons entering and exiting your offices. Cameras give you plausible deniability should you need it, and will provide aid with legal issues that might occur. Locks and restricted access to network closets and server rooms are a must.
Here are some more ways CTG has worked with clients to restrict access/entry in your building, server rooms, and remote areas:
- Replace all key locks if you haven't already done this.
- Install keypads which require a unique number code to unlock the door.
- Depending on the sensitivity of your data, consider implementing biometrics with options such as: thumbprints, handprints, and iris scanners.
- Consider Rfid (radio frequency identification). Rfid uses any number of cards, tokens or items that use radio frequency to unlock doors.
Trust CTG to work with your environment, determine what is possible and necessary for your security, and evaluate the cost vs. risk assessment to work within your budget.

Grandmas are in Business!
Still ecstatic about the overwhelming success of our Indiegogo campaign, the RadGram team has been hustling this week to bring the business to life. For the past few weeks, the Radical Grandmas have been hard at work weaving cotton into stripes and diamonds. Their hard work as certainly paid off, seeing as we can now announce that all one hundred scarves are sold! It has been inspiring for both us and the weavers to see that so many people are interested in the product and the story of these women.
This past weekend went up to the weavers' community in Loei Province of Northeast Thailand to pick up our first order. Empty suitcases and baht (Thai money) in hand, we boarded a bus and three hours later were met by Mae Rote, one of the organizers of the weaving group, at the bus station. We piled into the back of her pick-up truck and drove away through the mountains and rice fields to the community. To our delight, when we arrived at Mae Rote's house, we laid eyes upon piles and piles of scarves.
Seated together on a straw mat, we shared a delicious meal of sticky rice, eggs, greens, pork, and fresh mango. Once we fuelled up, we went inside and got down to business. We counted all the scarves and sorted them by design and then started packing them into suitcases. As we went through the scarves we discovered that some of the grandmas proved to be truly radical and created some new designs and colors. While we were initially surprised, we ended up really liking most of them and are excited to show you all the varieties that the weavers can do! One hundred scarves took up more room than we even imagined– Mae Rote ended up lending us an extra bag to carry scarves back to our base in Khon Kaen.
The next morning, several other weavers joined us for breakfast on Mae Rote's porch and we excitedly chatted about our early success and plans for the business. We showed them our protesting granny stickers and explained to the weavers the meaning of "Radical Grandma" in Thai. They all got a kick out the name and we shared many laughs and ideas about officially becoming business women and promoting the grandmas. As the sun started to warm up the day in the village, Mae Rote pulled the baht we brought for scarves out of her pockets and divided it among the weavers based on how many scarves they wove. The weavers also agreed to give a portion of they money to the mining resistance group called People Who Love Their Hometown. Other women in the village stopped by and expressed that they want to join the weaving group too. We're always happy to have more talented women on our team.
Back in Khon Kaen we've set up our own workshop to get the scarves ready to ship next week. Our friends at Numgunde Studio, a handmade bag shop nearby, have been helping us out by sewing "RadGram" logo tags onto our scarves and we've been busy labeling envelops, printing stickers, and creating informational materials to go with the scarves.
Thanks again to everyone who has supported us so far. We can't wait to send you scarves and hope you enjoy wearing them as much as we do! Our Indiegogo still has five days left so there is still time to donate and claim a scarf if you haven't already. You can follow this blog to stay posted on the radical grandmas and get a behind the scenes look at the business as it takes off.

From: Adam Elnagger
It's not hard to acknowledge that we have a problem with idolatry. We look at the way that we express our identities—how rarely we first identify as a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven—and we find that we only begin to scratch the surface. We rarely grapple truly with the ways in which our culture has placed idols for us in our homes, in our pockets, on the side of the road, and even written on the skies. We are terrified that our neighbors will excoriate us for not having the latest gadgets, or the most prestigious academic degree. As the psalmist writes—people ask us "where is your God?", all while carrying their own small gods in their pockets. Paul writes to us that "Everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light". Let us shine a light on our idolatries, so that being visible we can see them for what they are. Let us remember who it is that we serve, the God who created the heavens and the earth, and who does not perish like our idols. Let us put our hope in God, and praise him yet. May we find ourselves filled with His spirit—truly citizens of His kingdom—ambassadors of Heaven in every way!
I am a husband, father, and all around maker. I'll always have a project in the works, either on the screen or in the workshop.

Why would PS/Sony need to formulate a response to Project Scorpio, the made the Pro and they need to fix its issues before they do anything but wait and watch, just as when the Pro released Xbox waited and watched. Your fist response is always best (from experience) when it is just one person but when dealing with a group the response should be tempered with time and thought. If PS/Sony released a new console they would piss of allot of gamers, because the Pro just released less than a year ago, and current library on PS4 would be gone, because face it PS/Sony has never worked on backward compatible games (re-mastered don't count), they cant even get all games working with the "boost mode" because they have little experience in making older games optimized for one set of hardware working on a newer more power set of hardware, plus PS changes their OS drastically each time, can be good and bad. I think PS/Sony should focus on what they have in the Pro and their VR that is where they can win, they have so many consoles out now that they can afford to wait and see how Scorpio dose however it would be a mistake to release PS5 now maybe an upgraded version of the Pro but even that would still piss off allot of gamers that upgraded last year.
Xbox Project Scorpio is Finally Out – Sony Needs to Answer Quick
Last year Sony dominated the console industry because it launched a bunch of PS4 variants while Microsoft settled with only Xbox One S. Many were left wondering to why is Microsoft holding back from launching different Xbox One models, but now it's clear.
The reason why Microsoft didn't want to flood the market with different Xbox One alternatives is because it was adding the finishing touches to Project Scorpio. The latter has been recently unveiled and it holds the title as being the most powerful console system ever made.
The reason why the entire gaming community is highly enthusiastic about Project Scorpio is because it has been packed with impressive specs. Right now we're going to pop up the console's hood and see what it has to offer when it comes to hardware power in order to get an idea of what to expect.
- GPU: 40 customized compute units that run at 1172MHz;
- CPU: eight custom x86 cores which have been clocked at 2.3GHz;
- HDD: 1 terabyte 2.5 inch;
- Memory Bandwidth: 326GB/s;
- Optical Drive: 4K UHD Blu-Ray;
From the looks of it, Project Scorpio blows both Xbox One and PS4 Pro out the water. Microsoft's next-gen console is undoubtedly the most impressive console system ever made, especially since it's able to run games at native 4K resolution. Nonetheless, the high-end processor is so much better than PS4's eight Jaguar cores that have been clocked at 2.1GHz.
Release Date
Even though Project Scorpio's full specs sheet has been unveiled, this doesn't mean that it is available for purchase. Microsoft still has to tweak Project Scorpio a little more before it can be introduced to the wide public. In addition, game developers still need time to create special Project Scorpio editions of their AAA titles. However, Microsoft has confirmed that the new console will become available for purchases until 2017 ends.
The best thing about Project Scorpio's arrival is not only the fact that it brings impressive hardware specs, but the fact that it increases the competition on the market. What we mean by this is that Sony will be forced to answer with an equally impressive console.

Cardiff Wedding Photographers
It's not very often we get to catch up with our lovely Bride and Groom's post wedding as schedules are busy and life keeps happening. But, this weekend Becky and I managed to meet with Toni and Becca, who were married at Portland House in May this year. I wanted to try out a new idea for the blog, that is to put together a few q & a's alongside the images. I've worked for magazines and in editorial places in the past and I thought that putting together a true love story illustrated with wedding pictures could be a cool idea. Luckily, Toni and Becca were up for it.
Their vision for their wedding was to have something different and include lots of things that others might not think of. We had a chat with them to find out more about the lead up to their wedding day and see if they have any pearls of wisdom for you brides and grooms to be! Here is the story of Toni and Becca.
Where did you guys meet?
Becca-We met speaking online on plentyoffish.com and we added each other on Facebook and spoke through awkward small talk situations – we probably never would have met up. He had Emo hair at the time. Like over his face (she smiles and laughs with him)
It went on for a couple of months we were chatting online – flirting a bit.
Toni-One weekend I was like what you doing? And she said I'm going to a house party in a mansion and I was like ah ok. I was also going to a house party in a mansion it was Robert Earnshaw the Cardiff city footballer. Our friend Matt was renting it – like 10 of them were living in this crazy house. When I saw her I went over and said "Do you know who I am?" and she was like "What do you mean? Who do you think you are?" And then she realised it was me, and was like oohhhh- the penny dropped.
How did you propose once you had the ring?
Becca- He was really late getting home on a Thursday, he knocked the door and ran away, he had a left red roses, two bottles of Cava and a little sign saying 'Will you Marry me?'.
Toni- She wouldn't open the door at first because there was no one there! Then after all that, the ring was too big! Becca gave me the wrong measurement! But we had it sorted out that week, it was no big deal.
How long after you got engaged did you start planning?
Becca-Straight away because because my dad had saved.
Toni - When I explained to Stewart (Becca's Dad) that I wanted to propose to Becca he said when you do get married we've got the wedding covered. So because we could just plan it straight away we booked the venue and got started.
What made you choose your venue?
We got married at Portland House- (known historically as 'The Vaults' in Cardiff Bay) because. I just wanted something different you know, not just a country manor house, and because we live in the city and we're city people we wanted it at Portland House for sure, it was a no brainer!
Did you think you were going to be married in the beginning?
Becca (without skipping a beat) No. I think we realised quite quick though didn't we?
Toni-Yeah we moved in together after about 6 months. I think you just know don't you.
When did you get engaged – tell me the story?
Toni-We got engaged last year about 3 and a half years after we met. We sorted out our house first it was our priority before we spent any money on weddings etc
I went to London to get Becca a ring, I'd heard about Hatton Garden. I knew if I went there there would be diamond dealers and I knew that I would be able to get something special for the money that I had. it looks like something out of Snatch and they're just going up and down the street making all these deliveries with boxes and boxes of diamonds. I choose this diamond and a setting for it. I was meant to have the ring ready in 2 weeks. So Becca knew we were meant to be getting engaged but I still wanted a little bit of a surprise. I was gutted when, on the Friday I got a call to say the ring isn't happening, which through my plans out. On Monday it was announced; that Hatton Garden diamond heist had happened that weekend and Becca's ring was actually in the vaults that were robbed. Luckily Becca's was safe, he apologised and said that he wasn't able to tell me at the time because it hadn't gone public. I totally understood, and he was great, he gave us a discount and gave Becca a pair of diamond earrings as a token to say sorry, so that was cool.
Who did you choose for hair and make up?
Becca- It was a friend Hannah who did my hair and she recommended Carrie from MAC for makeup. I let the bridesmaids choose anything they wanted for their hair and makeup because everyone's different, and it's what suited them.
The Venue
Toni-A massive benefit to Portland house is that it's so easy to customize and really make it your own, something that we think it was better at than other cardiff wedding venues. I really think a lot of people don't know about it and those that do don't really get how awesome it is. You really need to go down and see it. Sue is amazing and was really helpful in showing us around, my parents even wandered past on a date night and someone let them in to have a look around. the're all so friendly and helpful
We liked the idea that it had a reputation of being an alternative venue but it sill had the grandeur with the building. It's such an amazing space with amazing value as well.
We had creative license, we didn't have to use their catering which is rarity these days,When you go to a standard venue – a stately home or a Golf club or whatever, it's very much a wedding package and quite restrictive. You have to have the meal that they choose and the menu is set. It's nice that Portland House allows you choose whatever you want, but we still choose to have them cater because the options looked perfect and Sue was really helpful.
Becca- My maiden was Green – that's why we chose a mint green it was inspiration for the theme initially. We bought our own decorations and hired the big Love letters from – Written in Lights. That was great it looked amazing!
Because it was such a big room we couldn't really hang stuff like bunting – in smaller places you can hang that around the walls but we couldn't do that, so we got the massive lights and the illuminated pillars – we could choose the colours of the lights. It was the lighting really that was the decorative thing in the venue.
Did you have any help?
Becca-We did it all ourselves.
I kind of knew what I wanted because I had a pinterest board anyway – with vintage wedding themes. I would advise people to have a pinterest board, I did it for the food and ideas it definitely helps
Why did you choose Rachel?
Well she's next door to my work in Penarth and she's a really good florist, I wanted roses and she gave me advice on what sort of roses to get for the vintage look. Amnesia Roses.
How did you decide on cars?
Becca - I wanted a vintage car and Toni wanted the Cadillac – I just let him choose it.
Toni - My dream car when I was a kid was a Cadillac 1959 Cadillac Coup DeVille. It took ages to find it. I had a toy one when I was a kid and had seen them in American films, Snoop Dog had a Cadillac, Snoopdeville.
Becca-It reminded me of the cars from Grease. I don't know anyone who's had one of those at a wedding.
Toni-It was important for us to do things differently and for us, we didn't want a Rolls Royce. The Cadillac went with the vintage style of our wedding. It took me about 8 months to find it. It came from America our wedding was the first wedding it had . I highly recommend the company they're called- Stretched Out Newport. They gave us a bottle of Champagne when we got in the car after the service to. We put up photos of the car on Facebook and I was getting comments from people I'd never met before. People were sharing the photo and making comments on it, friends of friends were all commenting and saying; I saw this car earlier at Gabalfa roundabout. We were the talk of the town!
The boy's clothes?
Toni - I've always liked tweed suits but I wanted to find one at a decent price and most were like £500 – £600. I didn't really want to spend that much. So my suit actually came from Next, it was ideal for what I wanted. If people are looking for that kind of look – there is that kind of thing on the high street. You can keep it forever then, rather than hiring it. The boys had different suits they weren't all matching, but that's the way I wanted it.
The Girl's Dress's
Becca - The dress was from – Wedding Belles in Pyle, I had looked in Cardiff initially. It was great value. They got a selection out for me within my budget and I just tried them all on. They all look different on the hanger so make sure you try all sorts on. I went with my mum.
When I'd chosen it, on one of the last fittings Toni's mum and Laura (Toni's sister) came with me.
I put it on and I just knew that was the one I wanted. When I tried it on they had it in ivory and I wanted white – so it was a bit of a gamble when I ordered it.
What was your favourite thing about the dress?
It was really traditional, a churchy wedding dress. A long train and all the sparkly bits on it and the veil, I had to have a veil. I just wanted the traditional bride thing.
The ceremony?
Becca-We got married in St.Mary's in Whitchurch. The reason we got married in that Church was personal. Originally I wanted to get married in Plymouth where I'm from, my dad played the organ at the church in the centre of the village. We used to go with him and watch all the weddings as kids. So when they moved to Whitchurch it was the next best thing, it was even called St Mary's as well, it was perfect. It looks beautiful, it's such a nice little church, I had my heart set on a church since I was a little, we had the bells and everything, it was lush!
What about music how did you choose your band?
Toni- We had Back to November from Barry – they had performed at my Mum's birthday party. We'd seen them play and they fitted in with our theme. They do covers but they have their own stuff, they have three different types of guitars and play harmonies, like Mumford and Sons kind of style like folk/pop.We knew they would sing the first dance song really well.We'd seen them before and they were very good at what they do. They play a wide range but put their own spin on well known classics and lots of current music.I was concerned about the sound because of the size of the space but the acoustics were really good!
Evening food
We had a street food buffet in the evening – fish and chips and burgers and nachos served in little cardboard boxes with wooden forks.
Advice for other couples getting married?
Do your research, look online for ideas. I googled alternative wedding venues and was lucky enough to find Portland house. One thing I would say as well is ebay is like amazing for all the quirky ideas and stuff. Another point for the vintage look, we collected tea cups and tea sets from charity shops. For the shabby chic look. My advice would be to go to charity shops, you're helping the charity out then as well. They're by no means giving them away, they're onto it, they know what people are buying them for now. If you tell them you're getting married they'll call you when things come in.

text: The year between 2016 and 2017 saw the largest percentage increase in hate crimes since 2011-12 [Neil Hall/File:Reuters] London, England - Thousands are expected to join an anti-racism march in London aimed at protesting against far-right groups in the UK and Europe. The Stand Up To Racism event, scheduled to begin in central London at 12:00GMT on Saturday, will see campaigners and activists calling out institutional racism against migrants and ethnic minorities. Demonstrations are expected to spread across the UK and European Union, with marches planned in Cardiff and Glasgow, as well as Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Amsterdam and Athens, coinciding with the United Nations' International Day for the Elimination of Racism and Discrimination. The event comes after Mark Rowley, who recently retired as the Metropolitan Police's counterterrorism chief, warned that the far right poses an "organised and significant" threat to the country, as he revealed four far-right "terrorist" plots had been foiled since the beginning of the year. According to Hope not Hate, Britain should brace itself for more far-right violence, claiming that 28 people were arrested or convicted for far-right inspired "terrorist" offences in 2017. These include Darren Osborne, a white Briton who was sentenced to at least 43 years in prison after killing one person and injuring 12 as he drove a van into a crowd of Muslim worshippers outside a mosque in Finsbury Park in June. Osborne regularly read material from former English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson and the far-right Britain First group, among others. A year earlier, in 2016, far-right gunman Thomas Alexander Mair killed Jo Cox, a Labour MP. Mair said he saw Cox, who was anti-Brexit, as a "traitor to white people". Brexit effect According to a UN report, "divisive, anti-immigrant and xenophobic rhetoric" during the EU referendum campaign triggered a surge in hate crimes following Britain's June 2016 vote to quit the bloc. The year between 2016 and 2017 saw the largest percentage increase in hate crimes since 2011 to 2012, with the number of reported offences rising to 80,393. The majority of those offences - 78 percent - were racially motivated. When one commits an act of terror, not all white people are seen as suspects. This is where we need to understand the differences in how Islamists and the far right are treated. Aaron Winter, professor "[It is] no coincidence that at a time when we have Brexit and increased mainstream xenophobia, the far right is emboldened," Aaron Winter, professor at the University of East London and member of the university's terrorism and extremist centre, told Al Jazeera. "An increase in the far right and hate crime has been linked to the environment and atmosphere around Brexit, which has normalised and mainstreamed Islamophobia and racism in the media and by politicians." Winter said this has an effect on policy-making, paving the way for widely reported cases where "people get stopped at the borders and treated as though they don't belong to the country". He accused the government of having "double standards" as "homegrown far-right extremists are treated much differently from Islamists". He explained that the far right enjoys significant media attention and is able to infiltrate the political landscape. "Also, when one commits an act of terror, not all white people are seen as suspects. This is where we need to understand the differences in how Islamists and the far right are treated, but also where the double standards are." While Hope not Hate claims membership of far-right organisations in the UK is at its lowest in 20 years, an online presence is growing. Labour MEP and Chair of the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee, Claude Moraes, is expected to address protesters at Saturday's march. He told Al Jazeera: "[The] significant threat of neo-Nazi and far-right terrorism in the UK [means it is now] thoroughly on the radar of British authorities." Moraes said the threat stems from a "very strong populist wave based on anti-Muslim, anti-refugee rhetoric and an increasingly anti-Semitic one", coupled with "hardcore trends of the far right". Europe has recently witnessed far-right parties such as the Freedom Party in Austria, France's National Rally - formerly known as the National front - and AfD in Germany gain popularity. "The huge development of the far right actually being in government now is an existential threat to the EU, people of colour and minorities, but is also disruptive to EU societies because it creates divisions between people," said Moraes.

Warning: this post contains possible spoilers for The Last Death of Tev Chrisini. If you haven't made it past Chapter Eight, please proceed with caution.
I wanted to write this post about evil women, but to be honest, I'm not sure what to focus on. The insecure high school Queen Bee doesn't really interest me – most of the time they only exist as poorly drawn plot-pushers for the sweet and innocent heroine – and the Old Hag is a sociological/anthropological/historical study about the envy of youth, beauty, and fertility that I don't have time to get into, and probably wrote a paper about in college anyway. The Evil Queen? Now there's something, but she does overlap with the Old Hag in a way (think Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, or even The Little Mermaid, where youth and beauty tropes abound).
No, my favorite evil women are the ones with motivations that escape the traditionally female sphere of womb envy, which is pretty much the sum of things when you get down to it. Give me strong, smart, ambitious women who take the leap into the typically male-dominated realm of desires. Power. Revenge. Dominance. Even lust, in appropriate doses.
I am, of course, using the terms "male" and "female" in the sense of broadly determined, traditionally assigned gender roles and attributes, because the pre-industrial, pre-women's lib worlds I work with, that's just the name of the game. Please be aware that I am quite well informed on gender issues in general, and do not necessarily support the dichotomy that I'm discussing as a model for the real world. [This public service announcement brought to you by the Alumna Association of Mount Holyoke College – or would be, if I could afford to give them any money]
But it's difficult to write a woman like that who is believable, and free of really obvious cliches, who is complex enough to stand as anything but the token obstacle for the hero/heroine. It's not something I've spent too much time addressing in my work, where my antagonists are typically Evil Men, and good women struggle alongside good men in trying to defeat them. The notable exception is Vaorra, but even though she is an evil women, she has no real will of her own. She obeys her master, an Evil Man, and inflicts damage on his behalf. Her foil is Sanemki, another woman of strength and skill, but also of intelligent discernment and self-control, who is the agent of the Chithura, a Good Woman. Order vs. chaos. Guess which one wins?
But in the end, they're both servants, doing as they're told to further someone else's goals. So I wanted to write an Evil Woman who didn't obey anyone. One who has no master and is her own mistress. How do you do that without falling into the Evil Queen trap? Well, why not make a goddess? Uh oh, another cliche. I also just dislike the word "goddess", with all its floofy, new age, Pagan/Wiccan, and sexual connotations. It's a silly word. Female deity? Let's go with that.
In SZ-K, I have to create an origin story for the Moreivi. It wasn't really that easy, and I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with it yet. In a rather ordinary world, that doesn't use magic in its day-to-day, where does a tribe of immortals come from? "Over the ocean" is a little too Tolkien, and since I'm not planning to write my own version of the Silmarillion, it's a bit of a cop-out. It works all right in Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, but it wasn't jiving with me, even though I do have a big ocean that doesn't get much positive press. But "Other" people have to come from somewhere Other, after all.
I settled on "from the mountains", which will all make sense eventually. It's where the Risdena ended up hiding, because their leader was searching for the Moreivi's secrets when he decided to retreat there. But where did they get their immortality? Here's an excerpt from the explanation:
It was the Stone Daughter who had forced them to leave Yhen Lidra [the Moreivi's home city]: Naddorei, a deeply ancient, terribly malevolent spirit, who dwelt in the hidden roots of the mountains. The story told that she was the mother of their people; that her husband Ayakkult, the sun god, had given the first Moreivi into her womb in order to tame her wicked ways and teach her love, but she chose to shun her offspring, and threatened to destroy them. Ayakkult locked her away for her disobedience, and took the Moreivi under his care instead, teaching them right from wrong and doing his best to suppress the seed of darkness that had been planted in each of them by virtue of their birth.
The Stone Daughter is evil because she is the antithesis of Ayakkult, the protecting sun god – she's Satan, if you will. There's no male or female motivation for it: it's just her nature. I wasn't sure how that fits into my view of evil women, but I think I like it. She's not jealous, shrewish, or petty, like the Queen Bee; she isn't envious of anything, like the Old Hag or Evil Queen. She doesn't want power, she isn't ambitious, and although she does want revenge against the husband who locked her away for thousands of years because of her misdeeds, that's not her primary goal. She is chaos, and I like that chaos is a "she".
Do I necessarily like that the good guy is a Good Man? I don't know. A male main deity is like, so last century, after all. But it does make sense within the structure of the universe, and I think it's all right. He's not really as important as she's going to be. He's not uniformly benevolent, either. The Moreivi are driven out of their home turf of Yhen Lidra when the war between Ayakkult and the Stone Daughter makes them take sides, and they end up going to war with each other. Losing their home is their punishment for being stupid, and giving into evil. Ayakkult ends up purging them and taking away whatever claim they had on divinity, leaving them to wander the mortal world, knowing they had lost the right of heaven. It's kind of sad, really. But I better wrap this up if I want to have any hope of anyone reading to the end.
So anyway. There's a couple of thoughts on evil women. I'm not really trying to argue for any particular point – I just think it's an interesting topic to muse upon for a while. The next Anything You Can Do will probably be about my kick ass women (more on Sanemki, and introducing Anshema and Eisa from SZ-K, and Zayhri from The Paper Flower), and how tricky is it to balance the high society ladies and the warrior chicks without the social order seeming completely stupid.
Do you like to read about evil women? Loathe them? How do you make them work in your own worlds?

With some great spring weather around the corner, and running season kicking off, it is always important to take care of your body to prevent running injuries. Running is great cardiovascular exercise! However, the repetitive nature of running, and higher impact running has on lower limb joints can result in injuries from poor running form.
If you have a nagging knee, ankle, hip pain while running, are training for a long race and increasing your running distance, are new to running, want to shave time off your personal best or want to get back into running after being injured? Listen up, this service is for you!
What is the individualized running program?
Here at WestcoastSCI we have three physiotherapists who specialize in running technique, and gait analysis. They offer an individualized running assessment, that focuses on addressing injuries and correcting form, specific to runners.
The goal of a running assessment is to evaluate your running technique and identify muscular imbalances and areas of your running form that you can correct in order to improve your running performance, prevent injury or manage a current injury. Our goal is to help modify your running form to run pain free. There is no exact recipe for how each person should run, all bodies are different which is why each assessment is completely individualized.
How does the individualized running program work?
The individualized running program starts with an assessment performed by a physiotherapist. Your physiotherapist will then identify areas of improvement and create an individualized exercise program custom to your needs and goals. We have treatment options depending on your insurance coverage and budget. Follow up exercise session's can either be booked with a physiotherapist or kinesiologist.
Why is proper running form beneficial?
FOR NEW RUNNERS: If you beginning to run for the first time, learning proper running form is important to prevent injury from running. Additionally, understanding and addressing your muscular weakness and running form can prevent future injury.
FOR INCREASING RUNNING DISTANCE: If you are training for a longer running event such as a half marathon or full marathon, ensuring that you have proper form before increase your total running distance each week will help you prevent injury from the high impact of running as well as improve your performance.
FOR ELITE RUNNERS: A video running gait assessment can help identify small weaknesses in your running form that are hard to see without slow motion video analysis. Improving your running form will help you become a more efficient runner and improve your overall running performance.
