We're less than three weeks away from NATPE 2014, where plenty of parties are expected. In an effort to be of service, we at VideoAge decided to take advantage of our thirty- plus years of experience, and offer these recommendations for throwing your party:
Make sure the drink-to-food ratio is balanced.
Entertainment industry parties tend to include a lot of Champagne. While we're not complaining (how could we?), we have noticed that often times the number of drinks greatly outnumbers the hors d'oeuvres. This could be a recipe for disaster, especially when any kind of snack is held until the later part of the party, just before the host's welcoming speech. How are guests supposed to listen to an executive's speech when they're about to keel over? This is also considering the fact that, most likely, many guests are coming from other parties where more drinks than food was served.
Our suggestion is that for every tray of Champagne glasses, a tray of canapés is sent out, too. Everyone needs something to soak up the alcohol every once in a while.
No more mystery canapés, please.
Speaking of canapés, we've had several not-so-great experiences (particularly in France), when we bit into what we thought was a creamy looking dessert that turned out to be a fish mousse — not ideal, by any means. If it's not immediately clear what a certain canapé is, please make sure that the waiters can explain.
Stick with finger foods, and nothing too greasy or saucy.
At trade shows, people go to parties mostly to mingle, greet friends, socialize and network. Food comes last and only to soak up the alcohol, as indicated above. All these aforementioned activities require shaking hands, hugging and kissing. How can anyone perform any of those actions when people's fingers are positively covered in oil/tomato sauce? Party food should be easy to eat in one or two bites and never too saucy or greasy. Cause, honestly, those tiny cocktail napkins just aren't going to cut it. Plus, those cute paper squares are never around when you need one urgently and, in France, at times one has to beg to get some. Indeed, they're dispensed as if they were made of gold.
Somewhere to stash dirty plates/skewers, etc.
There's always that awkward moment after you've eaten your chicken satay, or vegetable crudité, and you have no idea where to put the plate/skewer that it was on. You don't want to walk around the whole party with these pointed menacing-looking things, but you also cannot find a tray to save your life. That's where tall, bar tables come in. Dotting a party with a lot of these makes for an easy way to dispose of unwanted plates. But hosts should be sure that there are enough stools and they're cleaned often. You don't want your party to look like the New York City sidewalk after a snowstorm (read: piled high in trash).
In an ideal world, we'd love to have one hand free.
As anyone who's been to a party will tell you, it's hard to hold a wine glass in one hand, a plate in the other, and walk around and shake a colleague/client/potential client's hand. It takes some serious balancing, and honestly, after three glasses of Champagne and far too few canapés, we're not usually up to it. This is not what multitasking was meant to be.
We have been to several parties where the hosts have offered a lanyard (which is worn around your neck) with a built-in wineglass holder. We're not saying we looked cool, but at least it freed up one of our hands. We've even been to a party where the plates had cup holders, which achieved the same thing — a free hand. Pretty ingenious, we say.
Find a way not to get guest linger at the wine-bar.
At times one doesn't know if there is a line at the wine-bar or just people lingering around and/or talking. The worst part, though, is to be trapped holding (for your friends) three glasses of wine between the bar and the lingering people. An idea is to make the area around the bar very dark, so after getting a drink people move to a more welcoming area… and quickly.

Wadebridge Tourist Information
County town Wadebridge on the banks of the River Camel in North Cornwall is an ideal base for accessing coast and country attractions. The town nestles between the popular beaches of Padstow Bay and Rock, and the 17 mile long Camel Trail open to walkers and cyclists runs right through the town. Wadebridge also affords easy access into Bodmin Moor. Pretty riverside walks, a famous 17 arch bridge, children's play areas, a cricket ground and a number of restaurants, takeaways and traditional pubs serving food are all here. Wadebridge is also a North Cornwall shopping centre with a variety of independent shops. Annual events include the June Royal Cornwall Show across three days, one of Cornwall's premier agricultural shows at the well signposted showground one and a half miles west of Wadebridge along the A39. A festival of Music and Speech takes place in March, a celebrated folk festival is hosted in August and Wadebridge Annual Carnival is in late July.
The Camel Trail
Wadebridge is a popular base for family cycling holidays along the multi use 17 mile long Camel Trail running between Wenfordbridge, Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow. The Camel Trail is a scenic trail following the route of a disused railway line flanking the Camel Estuary between Wadebridge and Padstow. It passes through stunning woodland in the Camel Valley between Wadebridge and Bodmin. Hire bikes at a choice of bike hire companies in the town including Bridge Bike Hire located right at the start of the Camel Trail – in operation here since 1983.
John Betjeman Centre
When the railway line which followed the route of The Camel Trail was in use before the Beeching cuts, the poet Sir John Betjeman famously made the train journey, describing it as 'the most beautiful train journey I know". Betjeman first visited this area of North Cornwall before World War I on a holiday to nearby Trebetherick. The John Betjeman Centre in Wadebridge, housed in the old Wadebridge railway station, which gets a mention in Betjeman's poem 'Summoned by Bells', displays various memorabilia and personal items belonging to the poet. Betjeman is buried at the nearby 13th century St Enodoc Church.
Crealy Theme Park
Cornwall's top theme park, Crealy sits just outside Wadebridge and is open for fun packed family days out from February to early November. Colour coded rides cater for all from the very young to the thrill seekers, with fun rides including Thunder Falls and Viking Warrior. An all weather adventure park, Crealy also features great indoor play zones, a family arcade, haunted castle and Toddler's Village. Animal attractions including a reptile house and Kingdom of Heavy Horses attraction. Many family cafes and eateries are onsite.
Bodmin & Wenford Railway
Wadebridge has a fascinating railway heritage. The passenger line opened here in 1834 was one of the world's first railways and in the Victorian era Wadebridge was a major railway junction. The line succumbed to the Beeching axes of the 1950s, however today visitors can hop aboard the preserved Bodmin & Wenford Railway at Boscarne Junction just south of Wadebridge which runs for 6 1/2 miles (13 mile round trip). The Camel Trail is adjacent to Boscarne Junction Station.

Jimmy Carruthers was Australia's first undisputed world champion, capturing the world bantamweight championship in November, 1952 with a first round knockout over South Africa's Vic Toweel in Johannesburg. Carruthers made three successful defences before retiring undefeated in 1954 but was lured back into the ring in 1961, losing four of his six bouts before retiring for good with a 21-4 record.
Carruthers had an impressive amateur career. In 1946, at the age of 17, he made the final of the 1946 national titles. In 1947 he defeated Neville Rincheval, current Australian flyweight champion, who was undefeated in over 50 amateur bouts, to win the state bantamweight title. Carruthers also worked as a sparring partner for world title challenger Freddie Dawson while Dawson was preparing to face Vic Patrick. Carruthers went on to win the 1947 Australian titles and represented Australia at the 1948 London Olympics, winning his first two bouts but suffering a cut that forced him to withdraw before the quarter finals.
After turning professional in 1950, Carruthers avenged an earlier amateur defeat to Billy Herbert, stopping him in ten rounds before outpointing Australian bantamweight and featherweight champion Elley Bennett to win the Australian bantamweight title and earn a world ranking. A further win over former world title challenger Luis Castillo saw him ranked as the number one contender to Toweel's title.
Carruthers' title shot and boxing career were almost derailed in South Africa when Carruthers suffered a blood infection and almost had to have his foot amputated. After spending six months in South Africa due to several postponements, Carruthers exploded on Toweel, throwing over 100 punches in two minutes to knock the champion out in the first round. As champion, Carruthers knocked out Toweel in a rematch, this time in ten rounds, before outpointing Pappy Gault and Chamroen Songkitrat. His last two defences were fought under unusual circumstances; Carruthers fought with a 30 foot tape worm in his stomach against Gault and the bout with Songkitrat was fought barefoot during a thunderstorm.
After managing a hotel in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs during his first retirement, Carruthers lost his first three comeback bouts after retirement, one to British Empire Games Gold Medalist and 1956 Olympian Wally Taylor. In 1962 he defeated Australian bantamweight champion Johnny Jarrett in a featherweight bout and retired after losing to New Zealand champion Jimmy Cassidy in New Zealand. Carruthers managed a health food cafe and several hotels as well as working as a referee until 1977. He died in 1990 after a battle with lung cancer.

'It was easy,' she said. 'Nothing to it really.'
Humph! Easier for some than for others, I was thinking.
My friend, Brenda, is a nifty creator. She can turn any piece of fabric into a wonderful creation.
I had taken knitted squares to her. That's the limit of my creativity (at present). She turns these insignificant pieces into afghans, or throws, for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. They are really comfort shawls, because we each put a lot of love into each one. Brenda, more than me.
So, I handed her my bag of knitting and prepared to leave. 'Wait' she said. 'Try this,. See what you think.'
She handed me a red poncho. 'It was so easy to make. I just buy 'throws' and put them together.' 'You can have it, if you like it.'
It fitted beautifully and felt so cozy. That is what I call a great exchange. I had given her a few knitted pieces, and she added this lovely garment to my wardrobe.
Thank you, Brenda. It might be easy for you, but I know I'd be all 'fingers and thumbs, trying to create something like it.
Easy for you to say! Easy for you to do too! You're so talented (and I am so glad I know you).
🙂 🙂

Wolves 0 Leicester 0 – Report and pictures
VAR took centre stage yet again as frustrated Wolves had to settle for a goalless draw with Leicester at Molineux.
Willy Boly thought he had opened the scoring against the high-flying Foxes with a close-range header on the stroke of half-time.
However, having already fallen foul to the controversial technology several times this term, Pedro Neto was found to be fractionally offside in the build-up and the goal was chalked off.
And despite Brendan Rodgers' men having Hamza Choudhury sent off after two bookings towards the end, Nuno Espirito Santo's side could not find a way through. Wolves are now seventh in the Premier League table.
This, of course, was not the first time Wolves have been haunted by VAR – and it will not be the last either.
After being denied by the technology in the reverse fixture – Leander Dendoncker's goal disallowed because of an unintentional Boly handball – Nuno's lot were again left cursing their luck.
They have also had goals taken away from them at Liverpool and Manchester United this campaign.
Having been on the receiving end so many times, you cannot help but feel slighted.
Wolves, though, it must be said, still had the chances to win this. Raul Jimenez, most notably, put a header wide late on which you would have put your house on him scoring.
Perhaps most telling was the reaction of Rodgers after the final whistle, all smiles as he waved to the travelling fans.
Nuno's lot, while resolute at the back, certainly come away from this encounter more disappointed.
Match report
Wolves made two changes to the side which drew 0-0 at United before the winter break.
Joao Moutinho and Adama Traore, quite surprisingly, dropped to the bench, with Neto and Dendoncker coming into the starting line-up.
Leicester, meanwhile, were unchanged, with Ryan Bennett not allowed to be involved against his parent club.
And it was the Foxes who had the lion's share of possession in the early stages of the clash, penning Nuno's charges in. Youri Tielemans had the game's first effort on target, forcing Rui Patricio to palm away his long-range drive.
Wolves – robust in their shape – were looking to pick their spots on the counter-attack. An exceptional turn of pace from Neto created a good opportunity, too.
Putting on the afterburners to beat Ben Chilwell down the right flank, the Portuguese then cut inside and played the ball to compatriot Diogo Jota, whose low strike was sharply saved by Kasper Schmeichel. Promising move.
The hosts soon began to see more of the ball, without necessarily controlling proceedings.
Dendoncker – in midfield instead of Moutinho – was finding space with some clever turns. Jota stole the ball off Tielemans too, allowing Jimenez to win a free-kick in a decent area. Unfortunately, Ruben Neves's attempt struck the wall, but Wolves were having their moments.
Leicester, though, were still breaking forward too. Caglar Soyuncu – free at the far post – headed into the hands of Patricio before the half-hour mark.
As the interval approached, the home side really started to impose themselves going forward.
Firstly, Neto latched onto a poor pass out from Schmeichel, but, after a rush of blood to the head, he shanked his shot way off target.
Then, Jimenez was found, unmarked, near the penalty spot by an exquisite Jonny Castro Otto cross. However, the Mexican was only able to direct his header comfortably wide. Uncharacteristic.
Finally, Wolves thought they had taken the lead. Neto floated a cross to the far post, and Matt Doherty headed it back across goal for Boly to nod in.
VAR, though, came to haunt Nuno's lot once more as Neto was a touch offside as he played a one-two with Jota in the build-up. The gold and black faithful, understandably, were utterly incensed as a chorus of boos greeted the half-time whistle.
In the first few moments of the second period, Doherty had to go off the pitch and have his head bandaged – a cut sustained from James Maddison's high boot earlier on opening up again.
Dendoncker then went into the book for blatantly pulling back Foxes winger Harvey Barnes.
The visitors started to gain a foothold again as well. Tielemans had another crack from distance, and Patricio got in the way once more.
Choudhury was in the thick of things for the visitors, who also saw Maddison's penalty appeal waved away.
Wolves needed to freshen things up, and Nuno did so just after the hour mark. Traore was introduced, Neto making way.
The Spaniard swiftly displayed his attacking intent, too, driving at the heart of the away defence and trying to release Jimenez.
There was too much on the pass, but it was the right idea. The home fans were buoyed by his arrival.
And their excitement levels were increased as Leicester went down to 10 men for the last quarter of an hour.
Choudhury, having also taken down Jimenez, was shown a second yellow for a clumsy challenge on Dendoncker and given his marching orders by Mike Dean.
Daniel Podence then entered the fray, making his Molineux bow, for Jota as Wolves attempted to take advantage. So did Moutinho, for Neves.
Ultimately, though, a winner proved elusive as Jimenez spurned a golden chance – putting a header inches wide – in added-on time.
Key moments
44 - Goal DISALLOWED! Wolves think they have taken the lead as Boly heads the ball in from close range, but a lengthy VAR review finds Neto was just offside in the build-up. So frustrating.
76 - RED CARD! Leicester's Choudhury, having also wiped out Jimenez, is shown a second yellow for a late tackle on Dendoncker.

The Situation: Runners on 1st and 2nd , no outs, tie ballgame in the top of the 7th inning of a Super Regional playoff game. The best hitter on the team, Jason, is up to bat. But Jason has been in a terrible slump—the worst of his career. He is 1 for his last 20, and 0 for 3 tonight with 2 strikeouts. He hasn't bunted all year, but knows what sign is coming. All he can think about is all the times he blew off bunting work in practice, thinking that he was too good a hitter to ever need to bunt.
The Play: Jason picks up his coach in the 3rd base box, and gets the bunt sign. He is not confident in his ability to get the job done. The first pitch comes and Jason stabs at it, missing the curve ball entirely. He peaks down to third, hoping for a hit-and-run at least, but the time isn't right. Jason has been striking out and his coach doesn't trust that he will get the ball to the ground. Jason gets the bunt sign. The 0-1 pitch comes in and the Jason squares to bunt. It's a fastball this time and he fouls it straight back, leaving himself in an 0-2 hole. Sensing the lack of confidence in the bunt, the coach lets his slugger swing away with two strikes.
This time, the pitcher throws a hard slider out of the zone. Jason picks the spin up late and swings at it like a fastball, catching the ball at the end of the bat, out in front. The bouncing ball is directed right at the shortstop, who starts the easy 6-4-3 double play.
The Outcome: The next hitter hits a deep fly ball that's caught on the warning track and the game stays tied. With 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth, a wild pitch with a runner on 3rd scores the winning run for the opposing team.
What Went Wrong: It sounds cliché, but the success or failure of plays during a game are often determined by the work you put in on entirely different days or even months. Super Regionals take place in June, but the outcome of this play was determined by a failure to practice the right way from February to May.
No player is too good to get better at any skill. A pitcher who strikes out a ton of hitters is never too good to work on holding runners. A hitter who normally rakes is never too good to work on his short game. If you are an All-American hitter, chances are that when you are given the bunt sign, it will be in a HUGE situation in the game/season. This is a classic case of how games and seasons are made and lost before they take place. Don't put yourself in a situation that will compromise your in-game performance. No one is ever too good for a drill or exercise at practice. Do your best at every aspect of the game, you never know when your number will be called to do something unexpected. When it is, be ready!

All over the world, and even in Tunisia, media landscapes have developed to the point that the job market today requires technical skills, as well as linguistic skills, to carry out real journalistic work.
In 2017, through an online survey we conducted with Tunisian journalists, working across newspapers, radio, and television, we demonstrated the value of technical skills for new graduates. Unsurprisingly, our survey found that 33% of journalists identified writing skills as important — yet, almost the same number, at 32%, highlighted the importance of technical skills.
In Tunisia, discussions around the teaching of journalism have often focused on the linguistic practice of journalism. The technical dimension, which has disrupted the job market, has not been fully considered, although some universities have added standalone modules into their journalism education programs. But we still yet to see any in-depth change.
Even so, these last seven years, we've seen more conversations about open data, open source, big data, data mining, data warehouses, and the potential for their use in journalism. In academia, we have really started talking about databases in Tunisia, particularly in the fields of computer science or statistics. This means that most of the movement has been in engineering schools — two universities offer a Masters in Big Data — and, while there is one public school in journalism and three private ones, they neither offer a degree in data journalism or a separate subject on it.
As a result, the teaching of data journalism is always by individual initiative, on the part of a professor who usually teaches web writing or editing, online journalism, or similar. For my own part, this was how I introduced my third year web journalism students to the field. Here, my students learnt how to change data into graphs:
There has also been more movement, following the Arab Spring, when academic staff at the Higher Institute of Arts and Multimedia of Manouba, launched a Masters in Media Engineering. This degree has led to three specialties: web development, 3D visualisation, and community management. Students learn how to develop data stories, to manage data, and even to write, by taking courses in data visualisation, data information, and more generalist courses, such as online editing, which include data skills.
Despite these developments, for many journalism schools, integrating specialised coursework in data and computation presents something of a chicken-and-egg conundrum. Without a data education, there's few educators to teach data. To help, I've developed the following steps on bringing data into a curriculum:
- While schools may wish to prepare their graduates for this emerging field, the field itself may not yet have enough teachers in its ranks. So, try scheduling guest lectures as a transitional solution.
- New tools are developing quickly, and it is critical for the faculty to continue to grow, learn, and change as the field itself develops. Everyone has to follow the new wave.
- Many universities provide computer labs and studios for classes. The primary advantage is the certainty that each student will have a workstation with the necessary technical specifications and software installed. The primary disadvantage is that students may graduate without these tools at home, which they need to practice the skills that they have learnt.
- Using MOOCs in a complementary fashion with university data journalism courses could help professors integrate new skills into their offerings.
- Journalism schools should build collaborative partnerships with other disciplines.
Journalism is not a narrow set of traditional newsroom skills, but instead encompasses whatever tools and methods have, in one way or another, been made journalistic.
Several journalism schools around the world have begun building bridges with computer science departments by opening research centers, co-teaching and cross-listing classes, and even developing joint degree programs. This should be the way forward in Tunisia, where expertise is siloed in our journalism schools and multimedia institute. Instead, let's gather experiences and build a comprehensive approach to teaching the country's future data journalists.

The Xbox Project Scorpio – which Microsoft claims to be the most powerful gaming console ever – will arrive in the second half of 2017. Project Scorpio will have 4K gaming, 4K Blu-ray playback, and VR-exclusive titles. On the other hand, Sony has officially announced its PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation 4 Slim. The PS4 Pro comes out on November 10 at $399 while the PS4 Slim will be released on September 15 for $299.
PS4 Pro lacks 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray
It gives Sony a one-year head start over Microsoft's Project Scorpio. The PS4 Pro does everything except 4K Blue-rays. On the outside, the Pro version appears to be a challenger to the Scorpio. Should Microsoft be worried about it? In an interview with Polygon, Microsoft's senior Xbox director for product management & planning Albert Penello said the software giant was not worried about PS4 Pro's one-year head start.
The Microsoft exec was quick to point out that in many aspects the recently-launched Xbox One S is more feature-rich than the PS4 Pro. Sony's new Pro console lacks a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray drive. Sony has confirmed that the PS4 Pro will have a GPU of 4.2 teraflops. Microsoft's Scorpio is said to feature a GPU at 6 teraflops of computing power. It means the Scorpio will be 43% more powerful than PS4 Pro, at least on paper.
Warren Buffett: If You Own A Good Business, Keep It
Buying private businesses is easier than acquiring public firms, and investors should avoid selling good investments at all costs, according to the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett. Q2 2020 hedge fund letters, conferences and more In an interview with CNBC in March 2013, Buffett was asked if he was looking at any businesses, in particular, Read More
Developers have plenty of time to familiarize with Project Scorpio
Penello told Polygon that their upcoming console would deliver a gaming experience that demonstrates the power gap between the PS4 Pro and Project Scorpio at "a price point that makes sense to console gamers." Penello is confident that the Project Scorpio would be far better than Sony's PS4 Pro. Project Scorpio promises to run games with native 4K resolution at 60 frames per second.
Microsoft announced the Project Scorpio at the E3 2016, even though it won't arrive until late 2017. Penello said an early announcement would give developers more time to familiarize themselves with the console. Sony's PS4 Pro will give developers a roadmap for 4K gaming, he said.

The twitter war between artistes A Pass and Ykee Benda wouldn't have happened if only A Pass had minded his business and left Benda's alone.
Last week, veteran singer Bebe Cool shocked the public when he named his goat 'A Pass' ahead of the Royal Ascot Goat Race in August. The Didadada singer had kept quiet until on Sunday when he fired back at Bebe Cool using his Facebook page
"Someone called me a goat 🐐 but don't be blind, he meant am The Greatest Of All Time 😂 He has never seen a talented artist like me. In other news am still waiting for Ykee Brenda's World Cup performance, a promise is a debt my friend" Read A Pass' reply to Bebe but as you can see, his reply had Ykee Benda in the mix
On reading this, Ykee Benda who expected the public to have understood his explanation on why he failed to perform at world cup did not just let it pass. He on Monday hit back at A Pass claiming that the things he has failed to do in his 6 years time on the music industry, he (Benda) has done them in just two years
"2 years in and look at me. @IamApass how's that for a banter?" read Ykee Benda's tweet which sparked off the twitter war that A Pass seems to have been ready for going by fast replys to the 'Amina' singer.
"You are the best in town he he he" read A Pass' reply to Ykee who also fired back again saying "Camon Apass…stop with the sarcasm you too promised us greatness…did u keep that promise bro?"
As if that was not enough, A Pass went ahead to reply Benda saying "My promise was not televised. Am still waiting for your world cup performance he he he Sing Benda Sing".
In reply, Ykee Benda said "Bruuvvvvvvv already running on the defensive? 6 years in and we are still waiting well done"
"What are you waiting for exactly? Because i don't make empty promises." Was A Pass' reply but Benda threw jibes at A Pass saying "It's been such a longtime…You have also forgotten"
In an attempt to shut down Ykee after the war had intensified, A Pass told Benda to stop making noise and drop his new video "oyo wolokoso he he he just drop Onabaayo Music Video". Ykee' reply was "Neda blood…Promises is the topic…But Onabaayo will drop"

NON-LEAGUE FOOTBALL: Beck at the double as Wisbech Town triumph
PUBLISHED: 14:44 07 March 2018 | UPDATED: 14:46 07 March 2018
Leading scorer Alex Beck hit both goals as Wisbech Town returned to winning ways last night.
The Fenmen came from behind to earn an important 2-1 success at Wellingborough side Whitworth in the United Counties League Premier Division.
Boss Gary Setchell said: "It was a really important result after losing at Harborough in our previous game.
"We've been in the last chance saloon a few times this season and always seem to produce our best when that's the case.
"We went behind, but nothing was going to stop us from winning the game.
"We could have still been at Harborough now and not got the job done, but there was a different mindset last night."
Wisbech found themselves trailing to a breakaway goal after just five minutes, but levelled when Beck raced onto a pass from strike partner Michael Frew and fired past an on-rushing home goalkeeper in the 31st minute.
Beck then completed the turnaround when striking again midway through the second half. He took his goal tally for the season to 32 with a close-range finish after being picked out by Billy Smith, who forced a mistake from a home defender.
Only some fine work from the Whitworth goalkeeper prevented Wisbech from winning by a greater margin.
Wisbech remain third in the Premier Division. They are three points behind leaders Yaxley, but have two games in hand.

(This is an extended version of the PopRox Sunday column in the Pocono Record.)
The Emmys will never have the anticipation or pageantry of the Oscars, but seeing as some of the best acting is being done on television, these awards can sometimes mean just as much as an Oscar.
So as Hollywood starts taking the Emmy Awards (airing tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC) more seriously, let's have some fun:
Let's set the over/under now at number of jokes directed at network TV for not having one nominee in this category, none in the mini-series or TV movie category and just three in the comedy category. That's 18 major show nominations, with three going to the networks. That's, umm, that's not good. You can go so far as to say it's embarrassing. And from what we've seen so far this fall, don't expect the networks to be jumping back in to the 2013 Emmys either. Not in drama, at least. I'll say 17.5 jokes about the death of network TV.
SHOULD WIN: Mad Men
SPOILER: Downton Abbey
WILL WIN: Breaking Bad. Walt breaks through.
What's most frustrating is that you can make a better list of nominees from six shows that were snubbed. Seriously, if I told you the nominees for best comedy were Parks and Recreation, Community, The Middle, Glee, The Office and New Girl, would you even blink? Wouldn't your only real complaint be that Modern Family got snubbed? And yet, 30 Rock remains in the running for reasons quite unknown.
SHOULD WIN: Modern Family
SPOILER: Curb Your Enthusiasm
WILL WIN: Modern Family
Hmmmm. Let's see. How can I possibly pimp for Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring in Breaking Bad even more? Should I wear a sandwich board and walk around Main Street, chiming a hand bell screaming, VOTE FOR GUS!!! at the top of my lungs? Can I paint it on my chest and make sure to get on TV at the Jets game today? Should I kidnap every Emmy voter and hold them hostage Swimming with Sharks-style until they vote for Esposito? I'm open to any suggestion.
SHOULD WIN: Ummm, let's see …
SPOILER: Last year's winner Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones)
WILL WIN: Please, please, please, Esposito.
Be honest. If I told you three years ago the following sentence, "Remember Blossom? She's about to make a comeback and get nominated for an Emmy for her role in the highest-rated sitcom on TV," how quickly would you have called the loony bin and booked me a suite? If she does win, I have only one request: That the actual Blossom theme be playing in the background for her entire speech while she tries to figure out what the heck is going on. And in my opinionation, the sun is gonna surely shine … She might even start swatting the air, like there was a fly buzzing around her head or something. That'd be awesome.
SHOULD WIN: Julie Bowen (Modern Family)
SPOILER: Blossom herself, Mayim Bialik (Big Bang Theory)
WILL WIN: Sofía Vergara (Modern Family). Some of the voters are men? Then every, single, solitary one of them is voting for Vergara. Probably some of the women too. That's the kind of blinding sex appeal she has.
Awww crap, I can't resist …
Under the assumption that Modern Family will be on the air for at least six more years, and that at least three of those years will remain Emmy-worthy, let's make a new Emmy rule to spread the wealth a little. Instead of giving all four male supporting (and nomination-deserving) cast members an Emmy nomination, can't we just combine Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ed O'Neill and Eric Stonestreet all into one person? Like Tyed Stoneguesson? Or Edric Tylerell? Then they all can come up to the podium when they win and get one statue to share along with a hacksaw to divide it up. Then they have to cut it up onstage. You'd watch that, right? Yes. Yes you would.
SHOULD WIN: Tysse O'Neillstreet
SPOILER: Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live)
WILL WIN: O'Neill

We had a wonderful experience working with Kevin for our wedding, and would highly recommend him. He made us feel comfortable which resulted in photographs that looked natural. Even though it poured rain on our wedding day, Kevin worked with the indoor spaces we had available - you'd never know we didn't plan it that way! He did an excellent job capturing the emotion on our faces and on those of our guests. Thanks Kevin!

FCM Bank, a Maltese bank owned by a Cayman Islands hedge fund and geared towards high net-worth individuals, was officially launched yesterday at its headquarters in Paceville.
The bank is owned by the Fortelus Special Situations Master Fund Ltd, which is itself managed by the London-based Fortelus Capital Management LLP. It was set up with an initial investment of €20 million.
Fortelus has been active in Malta since 2007, and efforts to set up FCM bank began with the receipt of a banking licence in 2010.
Actual operations began in August 2011, when Michael Warrington was recruited to serve as the bank's CEO and a core team was set up. Mr Warrington is a banker and accountant by profession: The move marked his return to banking after seeking pastures new in 1992
The bank is now ready to offer services to customers, and Mr Warrington noted that it will initially start by offering savings products – the first will be launched on 8 June. The bank's strategy is to attract higher value customers: A minimum deposit of €10,000 will be required.
Its early investments are European covered bonds, which are set to be followed up with the acquisition of European corporate loans. In the long term, however, FCM also plans to lend directly into the Maltese market, aiming to offer sizeable personal loans backed by appropriate security.
The bank is based at Aragon House in Paceville, and while it plans to look into opening a small number of additional branches eventually, it is not aiming to become a widely-branched institution.
Mr Warrington said that the bank aimed to offer an innovative service, paying a particular focus to the use of information technology, even to attract overseas customers.
He remarked that the bank was designed for conservative risk, noting that trust was what the banking industry was all about.
Fortelus founder and chairman Tim Babich noted that the banking crisis had helped open up a number of opportunities for new banks which are not burdened by legacy asset books and which can make use of newer, more effective, technology.
He stressed that the bank was designed to have a strong Maltese base. Its five-member board of directors comprises three Maltese directors, including Mr Warrington.
In his own address, Finance Minister Tonio Fenech welcomed the bank's decision to adopt transparency, honesty and integrity as its three core values, noting that these were essential to build trust and that such a business philosophy also helped safeguard the reputation of Malta's banking sector.
The minister said that Malta's good reputation was being acknowledged internationally, citing a recent World Economic Forum report which placed Malta among the best 15 world jurisdictions.
A total of 25 banks are registered in Malta, and Mr Fenech noted that this competition was ultimately beneficial to consumers who were being offered increasingly diverse services.
He also insisted that it was not surprising that international investors perceived Malta as an ideal place to launch a new bank, noting how the country's banking system remained robust throughout an international crisis.

In a consumer world that is dominated by web searches, the importance of your website is at an all time high.
More likely than not, your potential customers perform some type of search on Bing or Google before making a purchasing decision. If a potential customer finds your site in search (which, hopefully, they do), it is important that they have a good user experience. A good user experience means that the site loads quickly, is easy to use and navigate, is attractive and up-to-date, and is mobile friendly.
Below is a list of several things that your website must be, or have, in order to be successful:
- Search engine optimized for keywords that you want to be found for
- Patient focused, not practice focused
- Actual pictures of you, your office, and your work (instead of generic stock photos)
- Fresh and relevant content added on a regular basis
- Mobile friendly
- Quick loading time
- Strong and consistent branding
Another thing to remember about your website is that you can't just create your website and then let it sit there. Throughout the year, it is important to make tweaks and changes to your website as needed.
What kind of things need updating on your website?
- Any new products or services
- Current promotions and specials
- Your blog or news page
- Any staff changes
- Updated pictures of products, services, team members or your office
What are the advantages of having a professional and user-friendly website?
- You will gain credibility as potential customers search for answers and reviews and find them on your site.
- You can keep your customers up-to-date on the happenings of your practice and offerings.
- Patients will be able to access your website 24/7. This means your patients can always find answers or schedule an appointment, even at 3:00 AM!
- More people can find you that are looking for a dentist because of your good SEO practices and high rank in Google search.
Is your site being optimized?
There are hundreds of millions of websites out there. If your site is not properly optimized, then you have a lower chance of showing up high in search. SEO should be performed both while your site is being developed and on an ongoing basis. Before choosing a website developer, make sure to ask them what kind of SEO work will be done during the build process.
RELATED ARTICLE: Improving Your Website's SEO
Is your site mobile friendly?
When is the last time you redesigned your website? If your answer is "prior to 2013," your site may not be mobile friendly. Even if your site was done after 2013, but wasn't designed using Responsive Website Design (RWD), your site may not be mobile friendly.
Quite frankly, if your site is not mobile friendly, you are immediately losing out on over half of your potential customers that are searching on their mobile phones.
Mobile searches now account for over half of all web searches, and if your site is not mobile friendly, your potential customer will have a negative experience before they even pick up the phone to call you.

You Need To Read This Before Applying Eye Cream!
We've spoken to many women and realised that there are many misconceptions about eye creams - from what to apply and how to apply. Applied correctly, eye creams can hydrate and enhance the appearance of your eyes.
Who & Why
Some people have the misconception that it's ok to use facial moisturisers for their eye area as well but that's a big nono! The skin around your eye area is much thinner, more sensitive and delicate than the other parts of your face, so you need a separate cream that is specially formulated for the eye area.
Avoid heavy creams and opt for eyes creams that are fragrance-free where possible because fragrances may cause skin irritation. Auolive Eyes Lifter is a fragrance-free invigorating eye serum that is water-based, and our customers have raved that it hydrates their eye area without causing milia seeds. It is power-packed with an innovative blend of active compounds and natural active ingredients to target imperfections and signs of ageing around the eyes.
Where, When & How
Apply with gentle circular movements on the upper lids to avoid discomfort and pressure on the eyeballs. Focus should be over the eyelid area.

The Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (IHPA) today released the National Efficient Price (NEP) and National Efficient Cost (NEC) Determinations for Australian public hospital services for 2019-20.
As outlined in the National Health Reform Agreement, the NEP and NEC play a crucial role in determining the Commonwealth funding contribution to Australian public hospitals according to either hospital activity levels or, in the case of small rural hospitals, an allocation towards block funded services.
Currently, the majority of Commonwealth funding to public hospitals is determined by activity based funding. This is a way of funding public hospitals whereby they get paid for the number and mix of patients they treat. Approximately 460 public hospitals nationwide, including all the large metropolitan hospitals, receive funding based on their activity levels.

The Far East IS far away from the suburbs of Washington, D.C.
During my almost 15-hour return flight, on March 12, 2019 from Hong Kong to Washington, D.C. these reflective words above came to me: Teams, Temples, Thought & Action.
The 10th Annual Women's Leadership and Empowerment Conference in Bangkok, Thailand, March 1-3, 2019 (thank you to the visionaries of Tomorrow People Organization!) was attended by 70 inspired women (and a few brave men!) who gathered to share the collective goal of being more, learning more, and doing more in our world.
We arrived from many corners of the globe.
We shared how young women in Ethiopia, Japan, Macao, China, Uganda, Kenya, Palestine, the USA and Oman are being empowered by individuals and teams of people dedicated to changing the world one empowered action at a time.
During my stay, I had opportunities to visit sacred temples in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, where I was privileged to visit Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, an ancient, richly spiritual complex, the largest in the world.
And, at that moment on the plane, it all came together for me. What a powerful combination – like-minded people (teams) positive belief systems and inspiring faith (temples) and an internal drive to be better (thoughts) and to do better in our world that is desperate for change (action).
To transform takes an intentional shift of all the above. Individuals and collectives of individuals, who are empowered by faith in their Inner Wisdom, the Universe and a Higher Purpose; who use their thoughts, and desires to take intentional actions toward what matters most in their lives and the lives of those we serve.
Many conditions, principles, ideas, plans, goals, desires and results matter. In fact, so many that we often walk away not knowing what to do next. We can become overwhelmed by all the needs and possibilities that it can cause us to freeze.
Yet, walk on we must, because the world is depending on us to make it to the top of all the hills and across the oceans and lands that stand between where we are and where we want and need to be.
To quote Jean Case in her inspiring book – Be Fearless
"To live in a world worth living in,We have to let challenge inspire us. We have to take risks, be bold, and fail forward. We have to Be Fearless."
Here's a plan:
Let's hold on to our dreams and continue to act on them with courage and conviction.
Let's stay connected as best we can. Here's how!
Let's take action, no matter how small the step, to encourage someone else to hold onto their purpose and dream and to act definitively on them.
Let's remember the stories and put our hands together in that powerful gesture so common in many Asian countries and salute the divinity in each one we meet along our paths.
And, if we do nothing else – let's silently bless and wish each other well on our journeys.

Athens, 24 April 2013 – The Recording Network racist violence today presented the annual report for 2012, which consists of two parts: the first concerns the quantitative and qualitative results of the recording of racist violence organizations participating in the network, after interviewed by the victims themselves. The second part focuses on the positions of the Network on the institutional framework for crimes committed with a racist motive, and recent initiatives for amendments.
According to the report, for the year 2012 recorded 154 incidents of racist violence, involving 151 foreign nationals and three Europeans (one Bulgarian citizen, one Romanian citizen and one Greek). The majority consists of physical attacks and types of crimes are mostly serious injuries and simple injuries.
In 91 cases, the victims of the attacks believe that the perpetrators linked to extremist groups, which emerges from the qualitative data recorded for the attacks (squads, with a specific mode of action, behavior and attire). In some cases the victims of the attacks or the witnesses reported that among the perpetrators recognized individuals associated with the Golden Dawn, or for wearing insignia of the organization, or because their faces are connected with the organization of public events in the area, either because they know they are members of local organizations of the party.
In many cases the victims reported the use of weapons during the attacks, such as bats, iron bars, collapsible baton, spray, chains, sidirogrothies, knives and broken bottles, and has recorded the identical use large breed dogs in group operating in the area of St . Panteleimon of Attica square.
Special category are the 25 incidents where police linked to racist violence, which unfolded in detention or during routine operations.
Regarding formal complaint to the competent authorities of the country and the initiation of criminal proceedings, only 24 victims reported that they have steps to do so while 23 will like it. The others would not want to take any further action, usually because they lack legal documents and therefore fear that will be kept to an expulsion decision. In practice, instead of the police to deal with them as possible victims of crime, display priority in controlling the legal residence of the complainant and refrain from the obligation to investigate the incident itself that the complainants.
In his intervention, the Head of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Greece, Mr. George Charmbopoulos, summed up the quantitative and qualitative data recorded by Recording Network racist violence, underlined that these recordings are only the tip of the iceberg of a significantly larger and dangerous phenomenon: "The recording then interview the victim removes course numbers but offers reliability. This data reliability constitutes the most important contribution of the Network, in the absence of a formal and efficient mechanism for recording and dealing with the phenomenon. "
The representative of the Network Working Group on legal issues, Mr. Vassilis Papastergiou presented the positions of Network on legislative initiatives to tackle racist violence, stressing that "while it has started to signs of positive response on the part of the State, is this time at least, incomplete. " He welcomed the establishment of Offices and Departments dealing racist violence on the body of Greek Police but noted that, without the necessary guarantees concerning the selection, recruitment and ongoing training, such a key function will not be able have the efficiency required by circumstances. As critical issues that need to be directly regulated, said: a) suspend the detention and deportation of victims of racist violence or witnesses terminate in conjunction with a residence permit on humanitarian grounds, and b) take immediate legislative initiative that the commission of racially motivated crime to be included in nomotypiki substance crime and racist be investigated at each stage of the criminal process.
For his part, President of the National Commission for Human Rights, Mr. Kostis Papaioannou, stressed that "the problem of racist violence now seems to have become aware of much of the general public, but has not become conscious in the organized state. Yet the rapid reaction of the authorities to provide residence permits to victims of New Manolada proves that the constant demand for victim protection is feasible and necessary. We hope you will finally enacted a fixed regime of protection for victims of racist crime. "
"We diffusion of racist violence in public office, not just police officers. There is also interweaving In school with neo-Nazi violence. The Greek state should immediately change its stance and tackle people behind this strategy of tension, which starts stochopoiontas immigrants but does not stop there. Most always targeted those who were traditional objectives of criminal activities of neo-Nazis. "
According to him, the impression of the political system that may at any time verify the phenomenon has proved false and tends to prove and pernicious. "We practice all the political parties to demonstrate that they have decided to react surpassing any other divisive section. The interest of international monitors and the international media shows that our country is now under the microscope Joined international community accountable for continuously scalable, organized, murderous racist violence. "
Finally, the President of the Association of United Afghans Greece, Mr. Reza Gkolami, clarified that the figures are minimal compared to what is actually happening: "I still can not record them, many undocumented and are afraid to leave their home , afraid and the police and gangs. When we tell them to complain, they smile, they go and have accepted second attack by the police. Their voices do not go beyond two blocks from their home. Imagine a democracy where not dare to go out of the house. Today's immigrants, tomorrow is the number of others. "
The event was moderated by journalist Prokopis Duke and was informative intervention of the representative of APS Claus Kerassioti and Registrar of MDM Nikitas Kanakis on recent events in New Manolada.

Catwalk: Confessions of a Cat ManWhat's not to love? Adorable cats, fierce competition, passionate people, and countless feline factoids for the curious mind.
Cat men. We are a rare breed, I am told. I learned this two summers ago, when I stumbled into a cat show by accident and bought my "Real Men Love Cats" t-shirt. Little did I know the world I had entered.
I am not an amusement ride person, I told my girlfriend time and time again. And yet, she dragged me to the Canadian National Exhibition in the summer of 2016. Only after my face turned green on the novice "Polar Express" ride did she believe me. So, when I spotted a handwritten sign that read "Cat Show This Way," I was giddy with anticipation. Cats I can do.
A little context: unlike the characters in Catwalk, I have only one cat, named Beau, whom I love very much. It takes major willpower to keep my human-to-cat household ratio at 1:1. The idea of a cat show seemed the perfect way to scratch this itch. It was like discovering a new band for the first time. "I can't believe I didn't know about this until now." What's not to love? Adorable cats, fierce competition, passionate people, and countless feline factoids for the curious mind.
But what on earth is a cat show? How do cats compete if, by nature, their independence makes them uninterested in listening to people, let alone in performing tricks for them? What are the criteria? Before I knew it, I was filming the CNE cat show on my iPhone to prove to friends and colleagues this world exists.
Fast-forward six months later, and together with my co-director, Michael McNamara, we began filming Catwalk: Tales From The Cat Show Circuit. Michael, deeply allergic to cats. Me, deeply in love with cats. The perfect balance.
And then came our characters: Oh La La, the fluffy Red Persian destined for the hall of fame, and Bobby, the affable, long, lean and playful Turkish Angora. Never in the history of the Canadian Cat Association have there been two such excellent cats competing in the same class in the same year.
As Bobby's owner, Kim Langille told us in Cobourg, Ontario:
"I'm proud of my cat and I don't think there's ever been another cat in the history of CCA with as many points as he has who has not been in first place. So, there we go. If you look back at last year or the year before or the year before that, he would have been in first place by a landslide, and no one could have caught him. It is unprecedented when you get two excellent cats in the same year, it just... it usually doesn't just happen like that."
Witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime feline Battle Royale wasn't the only surprise for us. We were also able to capture some perfect moments.
- How To Get Your Cat Ready for the Catwalk
Is Your Kitty Canada's Best Cat? There's A Show For That
In Moncton, New Brunswick in March 2017, we were filming the Fundy Cat Fanciers Show. Nearly every flight from Toronto was being cancelled. After getting bumped several times, Shirley McCollow, Oh La La's determined owner, somehow manages to arrive in Moncton at literally the 11th hour, the night before the cat show. Shirley had promised to phone me when she parked so that we could film her arrival at the hotel. Then something remarkable happened. As we stood there, cameras rolling, a tiny figure appeared on the moon-lit horizon. Shirley was walking to the hotel, cat carrier in hand, dragging her luggage from what seemed like a kilometer away. Had she walked all the way from Toronto?! Of course not, but that's how it looked. As it happened, Shirley parked in the wrong lot and needed to walk down the street to the proper hotel. But this didn't matter. It was the perfect visual metaphor for a woman who will stop at nothing to get her cat to the top of the podium.
There were many other surprises, particularly when it came to the inspiring people involved in the cat fancy. Katie Graham of Halifax, Nova Scotia, a 21-year-old young woman with autism has been showing cats with her mother for 5 years. Over that time, her autism and social skills have improved remarkably. She was scarcely able to attend a cat show for an hour when she first started showing. Today, she competes all day and even attended the national awards banquet last season, where her cat placed in the top ten.
Catwalk is about so much more than cats. It's about the lengths we go to for the animals we love. It's about people who are misunderstood, misfits, outsiders, who are driven by a passion and commitment few of us have.
Okay — it's also very, very cute. And we hope it tickles your funny bone.

Whether you have or are looking to buy a new gas appliance, please keep reading. There are vital pieces of information that you must know, before you proceed. One must acknowledge that all gas installers should be listed gas engineers on the Gas Safe register. Secondly, it is compulsory for Gas Safety Certificates to be completed. This is so that there is an approved document, which shows that the property is safe.
Gas Safety Certificates are records that demonstrate which gas appliances are safe. It is a legal requirement for UK Landlords to maintain gas safety certificates, since the 1998 Gas Installation and Use Regulations were issued. Landlords must renew gas certificates annually. If a Landlord fails to do so, there will be consequences against them by the law. Copies of gas certificates must also be given to tenants after 28 days of gas work. Gas Safety Certificates have to be completed by a qualified gas engineer, registered with the Gas Safe scheme.
Tenants renting a room, house or flat are required to have their gas appliance checked. Furthermore, if the tenant(s) decides to bring their own gas appliance (one that has not already been provided before viewing/renting the property), their Landlord still needs to have Gas Certificates completed by registered gas engineers. The reason for having checks and certificates, are for tenants safety and protection from carbon monoxide poisoning. This can lead to severe health complications and death. Landlords can be prosecuted with manslaughter, whether the gas appliance belongs to them, or brought by a tenant.
Our company ensures safety for our customers. We have qualified, professional, Gas Safe registered engineers. They constantly provide a high quality service, for the safety of the customers and their homes.
For more information about Gas Safety Certificates, Landlord gas responsibilities, please do not hesitate to contact us at Gas Safety Landlords. Our offices are based in London, Middlesex, Surrey and Kent. Your requests and queries will be dealt with promptly and thoroughly. Our number is (020) 951 6828.

IIHS Crash Test Ratings Explained
Front Collision Prevention:
IIHS also tests cars that claim to detect and prevent front collisions.
"These systems are primarily aimed at preventing low to moderate-speed collisions, although many also work at highway speeds and can reduce the severity of a crash," Rader said.
The test involves an engineer driving the vehicle straight toward an inflatable target that is designed to simulate the back of a car. A GPS system and other sensors monitor the test vehicle's lane position, speed, time to collision, braking and other data. Simultaneously, an onboard camera captures the test run from the driver's perspective and monitors any warnings issued by the front crash prevention systems.
This test is done at two speeds: 12 MPH and 25 MPH. Points are awarded based on how well the automatic braking system slows the car in each test, while an additional point are available for having an adequate warning system. Vehicles can earn a maximum of six points for front crash prevention. Vehicles that get just one point earn a "Basic" rating while an "Advanced" rating requires two to four points. Finally, a "Superior" rating requires the full six.

Medium: Oils, Acrylics, Watercolours
"My name is Inês Dourado, I was born in Ferreira do Alentejo (south of Portugal) and now I live in Alvor. I'm a painter (about 30 years), illustrator and art historian. I already teach painting and Portuguese language for foreigners in private classes in my atelier in Lisbon. And now I'll start to teach painting and Portuguese language for foreigners in Alvor.
I'm a graduate in Art History with a Masters in History of Contemporary Art from the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of Lisbon, where I also completed a Philosophy degree for 3 years. At present I am completing my research for a PhD in History of Contemporary Art. I also attended the National Society of Fine Arts of Lisbon (SNBA), the School of Art and Crafts of Lisbon and the School of Art and Crafts of Loures (Lisbon's surroundings). In this last school I had as "guide", an extraordinary master named Castro Infante, naval engineer, poet and painter, with whom I really learned almost everything about painting and drawing.
As a painter, I have made solo and group exhibitions in Portugal, Spain and Argentina. I'm represented in various national collections (some official and several private collections from various parts of the Portugal) and international private collections: in Germany (Munich, Dusseldorf), in Spain (Barcelona, Madrid, Málaga); in Switzerland (Geneva, Zurich); in France (Paris and Bordeaux); in Brazil (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Olinda); in China (Macau); and in Australia (Melbourne).
I'm an illustrator of children books as well and this year I also started the illustration of labels for bottles of Portuguese wine for export.
One day a French painter called me "la peintre du soleil" (the painter of the sun), because, he said, "You never paint rainy days. Your paintings are very colourful and full of light. They have life and transmit joy to live".
I'm not sure how I can classify the style of my painting. Perhaps a mix of realism and dreams. But the tendency is in fact to paint the real, but a real without degradation and with light. Maybe I'm a simple person that is well with life. But I just paint things as I see them, how I feel them, and how I like them to be. That's why I paint things as if they were always new. An example of this are the white walls of the houses of my urban landscapes: most of the time I paint them without any mark of degradation.
My "saudoso" (Portuguese word derived from "saudade") master, my "guide", defined my painting like this: «In Inês Dourado paintings there is the poetry of the round of cities and the days filled with light and shadow. The shadows sing the row of houses in a soft caress. Beautiful are the things where the hands of the painter touch in search of her truth. I hope that this truth doesn't escape you ». For me, my paintings are my 'real dream'. When I paint real things, I paint with passion and I dream awake.
