I've been admiring Filly Designs for a while now. I love her design aesthetic matched with her choice of models and styling. She captures such a simplistic beauty and raw energy. It's no surprise when you read her blog, she expresses her most intimate thoughts and it's a very inspiring look into a designers mind, not glossing over the hard stuff but bringing light to the whole process.

Shopping at Don Don Donki
Evening peeps, I am back for another quick update. In this short post, I will be posting about the newly opened "Don Don Donki" in Orchard Central. Last Sunday, I paid my first visit to the store with complimentary accompany by Can-san. The 2-floor store consists of many stuffs from food products to home essentials.
Popular Japanese strawberries
Seafood corner
Don Don Donki (ドン・ドン・ドンキ) was brought in by the founder of ever popular Don Quijote (ドンキホーテ) in Japan. In Japan, the store sells almost everything from snacks, clothings and home items. The same concept was brought into Singapore and one of the key items of the store is their luggage section. Apparently, I was told by Can that every Don Quijote stores in Japan will surely sell luggages. So it's a must here in Singapore too. The reason that the brand is so recognised by Japanese is due to its cheap prices and reasonable quality.
The first day of the official opening, the crowd were so overwhelmed till moving around the store is difficult. The craze slowly died down after few days. My visit was on the 7th day or 8th day since it opened. Many of the good stuffs are already sold out on the shelves. That's how crazy cheap compared to
Tohato Caramel Corn snack
is selling at S$1.70, cheaper than
by S$0.30 and
by S$0.20. Though, we cannot compare this price with the actual price in Japan but it's definitely the cheapest you can find in Singapore.
Tons of Caramel Corn
I also recommend buying the Calpis (カルピス) because so far, this is the only place in Singapore which I can get Calpis drink. If you haven't tried Calpis before, it's a drink that tasted almost similar to Yakult but less the nutrients and minerals. However, it's still nice to drink.
Cute Donki plushie
Famous Japanese Kitsune Udon
Popular Japanese corn snack!
Big Look pack found!
Other than snacks and drinks, the beauty section also covered considerable items from Japan. Brands such as
Hada Labo
can be spotted on the shelves. Beauty eye masks were sold out fast and it's one of the must buys in the store. Another section in the store which one may be interested is the stationery section. Though you can get Japanese stationery these days at
Tokyu Hands
, Don Don Donki's ones may be cheaper at some point.
Like other brands, Don Don Donki also offer its customers a free-to-download app on IOS and Android that enables them to earn points if they shop at Don Don Donki. Below is a short vlog on my first shopping haul at Don Don Donki. Please support me by subscribing to my Youtube channel!

My first shopping haul
I have come to the end of this short post, I hope my first post on Don Don Donki will give you a rough idea what the store is about and do come back soon for another updates! Cheers!
Superb raved sweet potato!
This tasted really delicious!
Ending this post with this Yaki Soba!

Jumpstarting the Intersection With a New Focus—The Biology and Psychology of Politics
And Introducing Some New Contributors: Andrea Kuszewski and Everett Young
You may have noticed that this blog went very quiet late last year. Simply put, I overbooked myself with traveling for talks and science communication trainings, and with finishing the new book. With all of these obligations and unending planes to catch, something had to give—and so the blog really slacked.
However, there was no intention to discontinue it, and indeed, with the start of this year my plan is to enliven it dramatically.
For nearly a decade now, the Intersection has been ground zero for coverage of the…intersection between science and politics. But recently, and more specifically due to my research for The Republican Brain, I've realized that there's one aspect of this topic in particular that is little understood, but has the potential to revolutionize how we think—namely, the science of politics itself.
Writing the new book has convinced me that a dramatic merger between previously disparate fields—biology (broadly speaking) on the one hand, and political science on the other—is now underway. For a brief précis, see this 2008 essay by political scientists James Fowler and Darren Schreiber, entitled "Biology, Politics, and the Emerging Science of Human Nature."
The Republican Brain is my attempt to apply this emerging science to the crucial question of why the political right today is in such denial about scientific, economic, and just plain factual reality. And I think that application does indeed yield a lot of insight—but it's only the beginning.
Psychological research, brain studies, evolutionary psychology, and even genetics are increasingly being used to explain anything from voter turnout to the intensity of partisan attachment. We're on the verge of a dramatic new way of thinking about politics—but it's a terrifying one for many folks, because it suggests that despite what we all like to think, philosophy and ideas may not actually be the real drivers of our political behavior. Rather, much of politics is emotional, and indeed, appears to be driven by automatic responses that we're not even aware of.
Accordingly, the political mainstream likes to conveniently ignore this new body of knowledge. But here, we won't. And to that end, I'm bringing in two contributors who can help to advance our thinking:
Andrea Kuszewski. Andrea is a penetrating writer on psychology and the brain, and focuses on understanding autism, intelligence, and creativity. And, well, politics. She's the author of the brilliant and much cited guest blog post at the former home of the Intersection, entitled "Your Brain on Politics: The Cognitive Neuroscience of Liberals and Conservatives." And as I worked on the book, her input has been invaluable. With Andrea, I've also organized a session at ScienceOnline 2012 entitled "Covering Political Neuroscience in the Blogosphere," which will be on January 19 at 4pm.
Everett Young. Everett is a recent political science Ph.D. from Stony Brook, whose thesis was entitled "Why We're Liberal, Why We're Conservative: A Cognitive Theory on the Origins of Ideological Thinking." It is quite long, but I seriously suggest you give it a read, because I think you'll be fascinated. (I certainly was.) More recently, Everett designed an experiment, at my suggestion, to test liberals and conservatives on their tendency to engage in motivated reasoning—and the results (which were surprising!) are reported in a co-authored penultimate chapter of The Republican Brain. Suffice it to say that thanks to Everett, I have a much deeper understanding of why conservatives today seem so misaligned with reality—and in fact, the core reason does not appear to be what I originally thought it was. But more on that as the book publication date nears.
I still remain the chief blogger here, of course. But both Andrea and Everett will be chiming in from time to time and sharing their expertise. In addition, Jon Winsor will also continue to write here—his expertise on the intellectual history of conservatism and is deep and in fact, he has a new item in the hopper about the Tea Party and anti-intellectualism. Stand by for that.
So to summarize: I'm reshaping this blog to carry forward its original expertise, but also to push into a critical area that, in my view, very few (if any) political commentators know how to handle. And that has to change.
Every couple of weeks–and sometimes more frequently than that–a new paper comes out in a peer-reviewed journal about the science of our politics. Sometimes these create temporary media blips–like the conservatives-amygdala/liberals-ACC paper, co-authored by the British actor Colin Firth (!), did. But there is very little sustained discussion of what it all means, in large part because few know how such a discussion ought to be carried out.
If anything, we instead see a vast number of fundamental misconceptions. Many people seem to think that studying political neuroscience leads to reductionism or determinism, for instance (it does not). And they still think of "genes" and "environment" as being in opposition with one another, failing to realize that they work together, in intricate ways that are barely beginning to be unraveled, to shape who we are.
Here, then, I hope we can help to shape a much more fruitful and informative discussion. One thing is certain: The science of politics is a topic that can no longer be ignored.

Nike enters badminton with a bang
Bij onze collega's van Badzine lezen we dat Nike tijdens een persconferentie aangekondigd zou hebben in de badmintonsport te stappen. Voordat je verder leest: kijk even naar de datum boven dit artikel.
via Badzine Dennis Hofner | 1 april 2011, 00:08 uur | 177 views | 4 minuten lezen
The giant manufacturer Nike has made the announcement of making its entrance in Badminton in a world class press conference in Los Angeles, today. A lot of cash is getting ready to flow in the sport, which may see a turning point in its history.
The tough days for professional badminton players to make a decent living may be over. Mr Faro Pillo, head manager of Nike USA has made a crucial announcement for the sport, in Los Angeles, today, in a press conference which saw no other than Nike Founder, Mr Phil Knight, make a special appearance.
"We have realized how important badminton had become in people's daily lives, and more over how widely it is spread around the world. We have decided to invest a lot of money on the sport to help develop it, not only here in the USA, but also all around the world" said Faro Pillo.
Badminton in the USA has been widely played in the Asian Community and it is one of Mr Pillo's closest friend, Mr Koji Goruneda, a Japanese born American, who has been working on the project for Nike. "We are now ready to enter this new market. We've been monitoring the viewers, the players all around the globe, and it is now clear that the sport has the potential to become world's biggest sport. And of course, Nike will be part of it" added Mr Pillo.
Amazing Incentive
The US firm will start their marketing war very soon – June 1st – as they have already approached some top players with big cash incentive. "We can not yet reveal the players names as they are still under contract with other brands, but we have secured deals with 2 shuttlers in the top 10 in the world . You'll discover soon enough who they are. But I can tell you they are amongst the most charismatic players in the world" said Mr Koji. "The figures of the contract were not disclosed by Nike's staff during the press conference in Los Angeles, but sources close to the firm are hinting that a one year deal with their new shuttlers would be close to 1 million US $ per year.
We have heard that badminton players earned usually between 10 and 20 times less money than tennis players, at all level. We figured that it's not really fair as the amount of work to succeed is similar, the time spent on the road just as important" said Mr Pillo. "We are going to change this, and also, market the sport in a better way."
Cash, but also new ways of marketing the sport
Amongst Nike's projects, a series of high level exhibitions which should make the game more popular especially in the US. "We have already started working on some projects even if we can't reveal all our strategy" said the US Manager, "but we have already managed to organize and exhibition, where one the best shuttlers in the world will play a game with Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and John Mc Enroe. This will be world's first and everyone is looking forward to it. It will be broadcasted live all around the world from New York's Madison Square Garden" hinted Pillo.

Business start-ups set to benefit from new govt program
Business start-ups and commercial spin-offs from public research are set to benefit from the new Commercial Ready Plus program, Australian Industry Minister, Ian Macfarlane, has said.
The 10-year $90.3 million program, announced as part of the Australian Government's Industry Statement, is open for funding applications to help turn Australian innovations into successful commercial products.
"Applicants will not need to be an incorporated company until the stage of signing the grant contract, and the application process has been simplified to reduce the costs involved and provide faster access to funding," Macfarlane said.
"This is an important difference to the existing successful Commercial Ready program, and will mean micro businesses and commercial spin-offs from public research can apply.
"Commercial Ready Plus will provide matching grants of between $50,000 and $250,000 for research and development, proof-of-concept and early-stage commercialisation.
"More than 90 per cent of Australian firms are small businesses and Commercial Ready Plus will provide them with the opportunity to access smaller grants as well as strengthen links between research and business," Macfarlane said.
Macfarlane said Commercial Ready Plus will support the needs of emerging businesses by providing greater flexibility in allowing investment in entrepreneurial skills training as eligible expenses.

In my previous post, I asked whether Abu Ghraib will be mentioned at all during any debate. I will now answer by own question, since it offers further proof that we now have a one-party system with two wings.
It is easy to see why Bush will avoid any mention, but why won't Democratic "challenger" Kerry take Bush to task? It can only be because Kerry fears the those security Moms whose votes he wants are now willing to tacitly condone torture as a way to keep us safe. We don't want to say it out loud, but go ahead and waterboard Sheik Kahlil Mohammed and any others who don't look and talk like us. A country so willing to give up its own civil rights can hardly be expected to worry about theirs. And John Kerry who once had our respect for being willing to tell truth to power now panders with the rest of them.

During his visit, he had a different tone, from years ago, calling Islam one of the world's greatest faiths and promised Muslim leaders that the USA will work with them to fight terrorism. World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, who said he first heard about the Women Entrepreneurs Fund when it was pitched to him by Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said the program will only expand.
Visiting French troops fighting jihadists in West Africa, Macron has vowed that France will be unyielding. Macron, who is now facing a slate of difficulties such as unemployment, terror threats and political division, has said that he hopes to transcend the divides of the left and right political parties.
The Canadian prime minister was snapped by his official photographer as he jogged past the well-dressed party-goers on Stanley Park Seawall, in Vancouver , on Friday night. Mr Trudeau agreed and the students gathered together for a group shot . The prime minister was captured shirtless on a Tofino beach where he had stopped to watch a wedding procession go by.
In his tweets on Friday, Trump wrote that, "As a very active president with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with flawless accuracy!" Donald Trump has refused to deny recording his meetings with former FBI Director James Comey.
Scotland's First Minister made it clear that the general election would be the main focus for her party (SNP) and that she hopes it will give Scotland a "stronger voice" in formulating Brexit terms, and eventually, demanding another independence referendum.
However, let's be clear - what we will be putting over is the type of leader Jeremy will be, and people will respect him, I think. But Mr Corbyn said he would not immediately lower the 45p threshold to include everyone paid more than £80,000, instead favouring a phased approach over the course of the next parliament, which will end in 2022.
During a speech in Riyadh on Sunday in which he urged Arab and Islamic leaders to do their share to defeat Islamist militants, Trump referred to "Islamic extremism", although advance excerpts had him saying "Islamist extremism". "We have to get to the bottom of it", Trump said in a March 2016 interview with CNN. Despite Trump's previous anti-Muslim rhetoric, the president was warmly welcomed in the Gulf, where Saudi Arabia spent tens of millions of dollars on his visit.
Peter's Square, said his selection reflects the universal nature of the Catholic Church. "On Wednesday, June 28 I will hold a consistory to appoint five new cardinals". Cardinals over the age of 80 are not able to take part in the conclaves that elect new popes. The chosen Cardinals come from Mali, Spain, Sweden, Laos and El Salvador.
Lee said the meeting was productive, according to the report. China has been infuriated by the US deployment of an advanced Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system in South Korea, saying it was a threat to its security and would do nothing to ease tension with North Korea.
US President Donald Trump, in a spirited speech to Arab leaders gathered in Riyadh, called on them to drive out terrorists and extremists from their lands and said they must do it themselves and should not wait for the Americans. White House officials has said he did not want to lecture, something they believe Obama did, unsuccessfully. Delivering the speech here in Saudi Arabia, which is home to Islam's two holiest sites, Trump sought to push past his campaign rhetoric - including a ...
French President Emmanuel Macron has unveiled on Wednesday a diverse cabinet line-up of 11 men and 11 women as was promised during his campaign. For interior minister, Macron picked Gerard Collomb, the mayor of Lyon who was one of the first Socialists to support him.
The speech came as President Trump attempts to escape the fallout from his May 9 firing of former FBI Director James Comey amid accusations he was trying to stop a federal investigation into his campaign's ties with Russian Federation past year.
North Korea has made no secret of the fact that it is working to develop a nuclear-tipped missile capable of striking the USA mainland and has ignored calls to halt its nuclear and missile programmes, even from China, its lone major ally. "I, too, plan to work with the global community to resolutely and fundamentally denuclearize North Korea through all available means, including sanctions and dialogue", the president was quoted as telling the United Nations chief.
The men from MS were arrested hours after the child's body was found and will be charged with capital murder, which makes them eligible for the death penalty. The child, Kingston Frazier , was in a Toyota Camry at about 1:15 a.m. CDT (0615 GMT) outside a Kroger store in Jackson while his mother was inside.
The headquarters was located in a village in Idlib Province, with the attacker parking an explosive-laden motorcycle outside, and entering the building with a suicide vest, before detonating both, killing at least 20 and wounding dozens . It later said the death toll rose to 14, including a local leader, in the twin attacks. Syrian regime forces have taken advantage of rebel infighting, particularly a separate spat further south near Damascus , to recapture territory from rebels in the ...
In January, Macron announced En Marche! would try to field candidates in all 577 constituencies in the legislative ballots on June 11 and 18, but the prospects of the movement securing a working majority (even potentially in an alliance with key blocs of lawmakers from one or more other parties) are uncertain.
The former military intelligence analyst, then known as Private First Class Bradley Manning, was convicted of leaking more than 700,000 documents, videos, diplomatic cables and battlefield accounts. Manning was convicted under the Espionage Act, a World War I era law that was meant to stop people from supporting enemies of the US during wartime.
Teasers for the interview's release comes after he fired off a series of tweets on Saturday morning to tell the world that as he is a "very active President with lots of things happening" it is not possible for his team to report "at podium with flawless accuracy".
According to the official Xinhua news agency, Mr Xi told Mr Lee: "China is willing to strengthen communication with the new South Korean government". Citing what Moon said during the meeting, Chung Woo-taik, the whip of the Liberty Korea Party, told reporters that President Moon said he had obsessions to fulfill what he said.
Some also have speculated that Qalibaf could serve as a vice president in Raisi's administration, in exchange for his support. Rouhani, a mid-ranking Muslim cleric and longtime establishment figure, was elected in 2013 by a 51 percent margin on promises of detente with major powers and an end to house arrests of opposition leaders.
Trump's speech, preceded by a traditional reading of the Holy Quran, held Iran responsible for global extremism and highlighted United States and Saudi commitment to economic development, inter-faith peace and the fight against terrorism. "Putting the context of the speech aside, the imagery is striking: Here is Donald Trump in the birthplace of Islam speaking to Muslim leaders from across the world, and the Koran is being recited before he gives his address.
A missile launched from North Korea could hit the US within 30 minutes. Under third-generation dictator Kim Jong Un, North Korea has been advancing its decades-long goal of putting a nuclear warhead on an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the USA mainland.
Rouhani won a resounding victory in the polls on Saturday. An Iranian army general on Sunday refuted the comments by the U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson for urging a policy shift in Tehran's conduct during President Hassan Rouhani's second term, Tasnim news agency reported.
Pro-government forces in Syria were advancing on the position of the coalition under the control of the Iranians, believed in the Pentagon. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, U.S. The official said the convoy was "significant" in size, but only the lead vehicles were hit. "They had every opportunity to leave the area". A member of the USA -backed Syrian rebel forces told Reuters the strikes hit a convoy of Syrian and Iranian-backed militias that were heading toward a base used by US and USA ...
A police statement said the Jakarta sauna was the venue for a sex party promoted as 'The Wild One'. "The victims were raided, captured, and taken to the North Jakarta Police precinct after being stripped and put into city buses", said LBH Jakarta public lawyer Pratiwi Febry, as quoted by Tempo .
It also tested the North's capability to carry a "large-size heavy nuclear warhead", KCNA said. Officials in Seoul had earlier reported the test, with South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff saying it could not yet identify the type of missile fired on May 21 from Pukchang in South Pyongan Province but that it traveled about 500 kilometers.
Donald Trump began his maiden worldwide trip as USA president Friday, leaving the White House awash in a slew of controversies that has some politicians invoking comparisons to the Watergate scandal that brought down the presidency of Richard Nixon.
The conversations got more heated from there, according to published reports, with a junior American official telling an Israeli official in the prime minister's office that the Western Wall is "not your territory". After two concerted efforts, Obama left office without having accomplished his goal. It is unlikely that Trump will express many of these sentiments, but doing so would enhance his credibility in the region, and lay the groundwork for a possible comprehensive peace agreement.
That's a slowing from the growth rate that was near or above three percent throughout most of the past four years. The report, which gives data for eight sectors for nine months in 2016 till end-December - manufacturing, construction, trade, transport, hotels and restaurant, IT/BPO, education and health - shows low job growth in nearly all sectors and jobs shrinking in construction and hotels and restaurants.
Drive them out of your communities. Mr Trump , Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Saudi Arabia's King Salman are lit from below by the glowing orb, in a scene that's been compared to the summoning of an ancient evil, or a shady ceremony straight out of the fevered imagination of an Alex Jones-style conspiracy theorist.
He said his administration would instead be offering partnership based on shared interests and values. The speech came as Trump tried to escape the fallout from his 9 May firing of former FBI Director James Comey amid accusations he was trying to stop a federal investigation into his campaign's ties with Russian Federation a year ago.
About 600 are in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to statistics by the agency. The family is still looking for answers about what comes next. But Immigration and Customs Enforcement can request that an inmate suspected of an immigration violation be held after their release from jail or prison under a form referred to as a hold or a detainer.
Even as his administration fights for its travel ban from several Muslim-majority countries, President Donald Trump is using the nation that is home to Islam's holiest site as a backdrop to call for Muslim unity in the fight against terrorism.
Rouhani won almost 23 million votes, a strong improvement over his election victory in 2013, when he won 18.6 million, 50.1 percent in a six-man race. "At the moment, we know that the U.S. President Donald Trump wants to get rid of it, but he can not", because Rouhani's adminstration has not violated the deal and Iran has done all its obligations, the expert said.
Originally, Trump was set to be received in Israel with a simple handshake ceremony on the tarmac, then taken by helicopter to his first meeting with President Reuven Rivlin at the President's Residence in Jerusalem . "I don't think they are falling for it". Palestinian factions in the central occupied West Bank city of Ramallah have called upon the Palestinian people to partake in a "Day of Rage" on Tuesday, during the planned visit by US President Donald Trump to the occupied ...
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered the launch and watched from an observation post, state media reported Monday. South Korea and the USA earlier described Sunday's missile as medium-range. This contradicts the views of USA military experts who have said recently that the Hwasong-12 can in fact successfully transport and detonate its payload.

Flynn's lawyer, Robert Kelner, had already told the panel he would not voluntarily provide the documents responsive to an earlier April 28 request. Congressional aides told Reuters the committee was still negotiating in the hopes of obtaining the requested documents.
And it's up to us to score more goals than they do. Jonathan Bernier saved 16 of 18 shots in relief, but there was no word on Gibson's status after the game. "They're going to look good". Gibson vowed to be back in the lineup Monday but coach Randy Carlyle was not as optimistic, telling reporters: "We'll do an assessment tomorrow and we'll do an assessment once we get to Nashville on Monday morning and see where that takes us".
Describing the ICJ verdict as a major victory for India and also a victory for justice and human rights, Mengal said, "The Pakistani government, intelligence agencies and the Army have been carrying atrocities and acts of genocide against the Baloch people".
Speaking from the balcony of the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Assange said he could not forgive the bad injustice he had suffered. United Kingdom police say Assange will still be arrested for "minor offence" if he left Ecuadorian embassy where he is holed up.
The walk-out was not overly disruptive, with the students who organised the protest apparently speaking to the university about how to leave the ceremony in such a way that they'd cause as little commotion as possible. Police had been made aware of the protest. "I felt like I couldn't just simply sit there and be still", said graduate Luis Miranda of Utah. Graduates who chose to leave before his address did so peacefully.
The announcement by Sartaj Aziz came amid criticism by experts and opposition leaders over the government's handling of the case at the International Court of Justice. Mr. Katju was quoted as saying in a social media post, "People are gloating over India's victory before the ICJ regarding Kulbhushan Jadhav ". Qureshi represented Pakistan at the ICJ earlier this week.
The official Korean Central News Agency said Monday morning that the military had tested a medium-to-long range ballistic missile called the Pukguksong-2. The North conducted two nuclear tests a year ago. South Korea wants to reopen communications with North Korea, officials said yesterday. The February launch was the North's first missile test after President Donald Trump took office.
In a previous statement, the governor had said that the Azerbaijani suspect had rented a auto and came to Ankara to drop off two suspicious people. The nighttime police operation was conducted after a man from Azerbaijan, thought to be an IS member, was detained in Istanbul.
Questioned by the media after her short speech in central Edinburgh, May refused to offer any further detail about the costings in her United Kingdom manifesto despite earlier telling Tory activists "leadership means being straight with people about the challenges ahead".
Temer said an audio recording purporting to show him discussing payment of hush money to a jailed politician had been "doctored". Calls for his resignation intensified, including an editorial in the O Globo newspaper, which is normally criticized by leftists for backing conservative politicians.
Today, PXG tour professional Billy Horschel claimed his fourth PGA TOUR victory during the AT&T Byron Nelson after a riveting final round. Taking a one-shot lead into the final round, Hahn missed a five-footer to save par at the second and saw Horschel drain a 15-footer at the next to grab the outright advantage.
Police Chief Peter Newsham said on Wednesday the violence was "not something we tolerate in our city". State also confirmed that two members of the Turkish security team were detained after Tuesday's incident, and then released. "We would just take the step". Other U.S. officials also criticized the Erdogan supporters as the aggressors against peaceful protesters, saying their actions outside the Turkish ambassador's residence violated American protections on free speech.
Twitter user SamBrock97 said: "Have just seen this new band "Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party" open for The Libertines, deffo recommend". "We need to make sure we get the seats we can get".

Before arriving in Thailand, I had no idea how obsessed some Thai people are with the colour of their skin or how accidentally racist the beauty industry is out here.
There are adverts everywhere showing Thai women with bleached out, flawless faces, advertising some sort of skin lightening product with captions reading, 'We make you beautiful.'
As a teenager I worked at the Body Shop for a while and sometimes when I'd apply make-up on Asian women they'd ask me to make their skin lighter. This always struck me as odd but it's pretty obvious why now.
Not only are there excessive amounts of skin lightening advertising everywhere here but all the Thai models, actors and actresses are incredibly white, and in every shopping centre there are skin whitening beauty salons, often several in a row.
It's also not uncommon to see people who aren't out to rob, wearing black balaclavas in the midday sun- fearful of their skin becoming darker.
Whilst in Chiang Rai I asked a Thai man who worked in the hostel we were staying at why people are so eager to lighten their skin. He said, "a lot of people don't want to be confused with labourers or rice field workers who have darker skin which is seen as a sign of poverty."
He went on to say that many Thai people are heavily influenced by Japan, Korea and western countries. And in Bangkok it's popular for women to get nose jobs "to make their noses less flat like western people and skin lightening injections."
I started to realize that if I needed to buy moisturiser in Thailand, it'd be a mission to find products that don't contain lightening ingredients. In a way I find this more disturbing; It's assumed that everyone would prefer lighter skin whether they want it or not.
And finally, the lightening obsession doesn't just end with skin. Yesterday I discovered that even the biscuit sections in shops only seem to stock white Oreo's. I couldn't even spot any of the original kind. Things have clearly gone too far.

I don't really wear makeup. Some powder, a touch of concealer if I need it, but nothing fancy. For dress up I'll wear lip gloss. You could say that I like a natural look.
So can someone please explain to me why I am so so tempted by the gel eyeliner at Aromaleigh? It comes in colors that would look anything BUT natural. And I want about 8 of them. I'm so makeup challenged I don't even know what colors would look good on me!
I might regret asking this, but if you're feeling your enabling mojo and you have an eye for makeup colors, can you please tell me which of these eyeliners has my name written on it?

Okay. You know I love Aromaleigh.. I want to try some of those eyeliners too! But they are pricey.
I'm mostly black when I wear it. But it could be fun to try new colors. For a more natural look though, I would try Chocolate Mousse or Ivy League, I think the green will bring out your big brown eyes! If you try any out let me know how you like them!

I like to drive. When I drive, I don't always have a smooth experience with it. Unpleasant things happen that get on my nerves or make me wish I didn't go out that day.
Some of those annoyances are small. Running low on gas in a spot that doesn't have too many petrol stations, for instance. Or I might realise that I need something – like a wallet or a camera – that I forgot to bring with me when I got out.
Sometimes, it's a little bigger. There might be an emergency, a situation that will make me turn back. It might be something I've forgotten. I have to admit, that's happened to me more than once. I go out for a quick drive and realise there is something I need to do or somewhere I need to be.
Of course, the ones that are the most taxing tend to be the instances when something happens to the car. Usually, it'll be unforeseen, and it'll be very annoying. In the worst of cases, I've found myself in danger because of a road-related problem.
Recently, something of that sort happened to me. I was driving on a back road. I was going out to think for a moment. I checked and made sure I didn't forget anything, and there were no appointments for me to get to. A drive seemed like a good way to unwind for a bit.
Anyway, I was on the road, and I hear a cracking sound. I wasn't sure what it was, and it didn't repeat so I kept going. Yeah, that was a mistake.
Then the bang came. I'm not ashamed to admit that I started swearing when it happened, and I was shocked for too long. I decided it was safer to brake slowly, move off the road. Safer for me and everyone else on the road.
I learned later that doing this is a smart move. Panicking and braking hard would have sent me careening off and cause people more trouble.
Another thing I learned about windscreens that day is that they're not that dangerous if they shatter. It's fascinating. The glass on modern vehicles is designed so that if they shatter, it's going to be in small pieces, not shards that can cut and slice.
Since I had a tinting film applied to keep most of the heat out, it was even less likely to shatter into cutting pieces. This made it even less likely that I would be injured, especially since I kept my eyes covered. Between my arm and sunglasses designed for driving, I wasn't going to go blind.
As I talked with the guys who replaced my windscreen – you can visit website here – I learned that it shattering as completely as it did was a good thing. A partial crack would have made it hard to see anything. They said I might have had to do more damage to get visibility if that was the case.
I just wish I didn't need to learn all of that the hard way.

I have to admit, I think I am a little obsessed with wearing tons of pins and brooches together. Especially on denim! Do you ever do things like that? You know, wear something a different way over and over again? I get on these little kicks of styling things a certain way sometimes. I just can't help it when I fall in love with something.
I really wanted to style some of the jewelry from my shop together, and this was the perfect way! All of the necklaces and brooches on the right can be found in my etsy store. All the pins on the left are from my personal collection, and I'm not quite ready to let them go yet!

NEFU and the University of Saskatchewan to open International Summer Institute
- Published in Society
NEFU and the University of Saskatchewan will open International Summer Institute for Nursing Education in the Arctic.
At the scientific symposium, within the Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW), the decision was made to establish Summer Institute on the basis of North-Eastern Federal University together with the University of Saskatchewan (Canada) for colleges of sister education in the Arctic.
The parties noted that residents of the Far East and Canada have similar problems: high incidence of tuberculosis, cardiovascular, oncological and infectious diseases, diabetes. "The work of our department has been presented in a session of public health in the Arctic. Since there are a lot of small settlements in Yakutia where, according to the existing position in health protection, mainly nurses work, whose education and qualifications are paid special attention," - says Nikolai Dyachkovsky, Head of the Department of Nursing, Associate Professor of NEFU Medical Institute.
During the summit, participants considered the establishment of a common educational platform. "Given that the university curriculum of nursing department at the moment cannot be corrected, we offered initially to establish a joint program of Summer Institute. The proposal was accepted and supported, - the senior lecturer shares. - Also, negotiations have begun to establish a joint international master program." He noted that colleagues from Canada and Norway highly assessed the qualification level of NEFU nurses.
NEFU and the University of Canada have been cooperating since 2013. The Universities are cooperating on joint programs to upgrade the skills of medical personnel, as well as teaching students the basics of telemedicine.
Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) is the annual meeting of national and international organizations focused on conducting Arctic research, addressing the issues of the Arctic and Arctic science, involving not only the representatives of the Arctic states, but also of other interested countries.

How are we already at the end of another week?? Is it just me or did the week just fly by?
We had some crazy weather over the last seven days - it started out gorgeous and spring like on Saturday, but by evening the temps had dropped, the rain clouds rolled in and things went downhill from there. By Monday morning there was snow on the ground. Thankfully things improved fairly quickly and today is glorious once again. Sunny and summery. It's wonderful... and gives me so many more me made wardrobe options (although I ended up with a repeat today anyways. Ha ha!)
Here's how my me made week three looked!
May 16th - Was an identical repeat of May 1st right down to the jeans I paired with my Honey Blouse. I think I should have probably ironed it before wearing. OOPS!
May 17th - It was pouring rain out making it the kind of day you want to curl up on the couch and do pretty much nothing at all but be cozy and comfy. I wore my Sis Boom Tortola Top and my Jocole Yoga Pants. The temperature dropped considerably again by the end of the day and the next morning we woke up to this... (which was actually a bit of a relief to only see that and not the 10-15cm they were forecasting. Still. Yeesh. Mother Nature. Cut it out!!!)
May 18th - The snow was finally melting away when I got this photo of my me made (but somehow never blogged) Raglan Gathered Tee that I modified from a Simplicity pattern last year and an Abalone Cardi I knit forever ago.
May 19th - Little Man took this photo of me Tuesday morning before he went off to school. It was still pretty cool that morning, so I grabbed my Hay Cove cardi to ward of the chill before heading out the door. Have I mentioned just how much I love this cardigan???
May 20th - What a difference in weather a few days makes! Wednesday was definitely flip flop weather! I am wearing my new version of the same tee I wore earlier in the week. Haven't blogged about this one either (obviously). I'm not sure how I feel about it to be brutally honest. The fabric is super soft cotton spandex, but the recovery isn't great (despite being advertised as having great recovery. HA!) and by late afternoon my tee was doing some pretty heavy duty sagging and bagging. Also odd was the general looseness of it from the start given I used the exact same pattern pieces I'd used to make the black one. Did I shrink the black one that much over the course of the year? I fought and fought with this blue version taking it in here and there, reworking bits and generally spending way more time than anyone ever should on a t-shirt.
May 21st - I know you just saw this just yesterday, but here it is again, because I really, really love this top and I was so happy to finally be able to show it off since Paprika Patterns released the Onyx pattern yesterday. (Remember - you still can snap it up for the intro price for the next couple of days!)
May 22nd - Another repeat day today. It's gorgeous out and I'd planned to wear a dress. I took no less than four out of the closet this morning, but they all needed a good pressing if I was going to wear them and well, I just didn't feel like doing that, so I went a different route instead and grabbed my Jocole Yoga Skirt instead. No ironing, no fuss and it's comfy like pjs.
So that's been my week. I'm still doing well with my challenge and managing to wear at least one me made per day even if they are repeats. I have a few projects on the sewing desk right now - a wearable muslin of the Clemence Shorts for women that I snapped up in the Bundle Up Sale as well as another Sis Boom Patricia. Hopefully I will get those finished up or at least iron some dresses and have some variation in my final week of Me Made May for next week.

Hi!! I'm very glad today because I woke up with a lot of clear ideas and definitions… I always thought about explaining what I do and what I feel about and was very difficult, but today everything is clear and I decided to share it with all of you and also write it as a description of my shop.
And the result was this… what do you think?
Hi and thanks for stopping by at my shop. Here you can see one-of-a-kind handmade garments and accesories knitted, crocheted, weaving and recycled with a very trendy style.
Why this name? ( Crear es creer)I know this is more an english spoken community. But why not to learn a little spanish? Crear es creer means : to create is to believe… which I always thought and love. It's a message full of hope and is the reason I'm here…
Why handmade? because you buy something unique at a fair price and you benefit straight the artisan
Why natural fibers? I prefer natural fibers because it doesn't go in a process that pollutes the environment. In the case I use another kind of fiber is just recycled material from larger pieces or donations from people who know me and gave me materials they didn't use anymore to reuse it in something productive.
In the future I'm planning to spin my own yarns and dye them with natural stuff as onion (yes! I'm keeping safe onion's skin)
Why here? (online marketplaces) I think about these marketplaces as communities and I like the way all of us interact
So, I know its important to be commercial but I needed to express my ideas as well, and I think is very positive…..

For four years Randy Richter built Deerfield football from the ground up. Last year the Spartans peeked with an undefeated regular, then made it to the second round of the Eight-man Division I playoffs before falling to Clifton-Clyde.
Now, the Spartans are starting over. Gone from last year's team is every starter except for two on the defensive side, seniors Cris Martinez and Drake Freburg.
"We have a lot of young men getting their first real taste of varsity football," Richter said. "How fast they adapt will determine how good we will be."
The Spartans will have to replace quarterback David Gonzalez and running back Jesus Navarrete, which won't be an easy task. Martinez will in charge of leading the offense as he will play quarterback along with his defensive spot at cornerback. Junior Ivan Robles (5-foot-7) will be in the backfield on both sides with Martinez, as he will be running back and cornerback.
The Spartans will be tested early. In Week 2, Deerfield travels to powerhouse Sharon Springs. Last year the Spartans knocked off the Wildcats 30-29, who were ranked No. 1 in the state at the time. Deerfield will also have a home game the week before district play starts against Moscow in the fourth week.
Last year Deerfield scored 50 or more points in a game eight times.

Henry Rodriguez pitched in the Nationals 6-1 win over the Miami Marlins on April 4. He hasn't seen a lead since.
H-Rod has pitched in 9 straight Nationals losses dating back to April 5. He is the Washington Nationals grim reaper. The anti-closer.
Zach Duke isn't far behind. The Nationals have lost 7 out of the 8 games he's pitched.
Here's a helpful tip. If you go out to dinner, stay out late, and turn on the game when you get home, don't bother looking at the score if you see Henry Rodriguez or Zach Duke on the mound. Just turn off the TV and assume the Nats are getting blown out.
Here are the records for the Washington Nationals, by relievers appearances:
Rafael Soriano: 10-0
Tyler Clippard: 8-3
Drew Storen: 5-5
Craig Stammen: 4-4
Ryan Mattheus: 3-6
Zach Duke: 1-7
Henry Rodriguez: 1-9

About the Accountability Framework
The Accountability Framework initiative is a collaborative effort to establish common definitions, norms, and good practices for delivering on companies' ethical supply chain commitments. The framework will fill in vital detail that is missing from high‐level pledges, while helping to align a multitude of other efforts to implement commitments, foster transparency, and track progress. The framework is being developed by a coalition of leading environmental and social NGOs in consultation with private companies, government, and other stakeholders.
The Challenges
In recent years, growing public concern over climate change, biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and human exploitation has elevated corporate responsibility to an urgent imperative. Hundreds of forward-thinking business leaders have pledged to transform their agriculture and forestry production systems and supply chains to protect ecosystems, people, and communities. These commitments support important global initiatives, including the Paris Climate Agreement, the New York Declaration on Forests, and the Bonn Challenge for landscape restoration.
Yet companies seeking to honor their commitments are often unclear about the path forward, despite the recent proliferation of tools and initiatives intended to help. In this context, two major obstacles impede progress:
The imperative for a clear and consensus-based accountability framework is already evident: as target dates for 2020 commitments approach, many companies have not met interim milestones; they are reporting only on activities, not results; and they are facing large implementation challenges. Unless NGOs, business leaders, and other stakeholders work together to develop a common framework that is credible yet practical, the result is likely to be greenwashing in lieu of broad progress, widespread displacement of impacts, and continuing social and environmental risk for companies.
The Solution
To support the effective implementation of corporate commitments, the Accountability Framework initiative is developing a common set of norms and guidelines for companies and other stakeholders working to eliminate ecosystem destruction and human exploitation from commodity supply chains. These norms are being developed by a coalition of respected conservation and human rights NGOs from around the world, in close consultation with the private sector, to establish a harmonized global reference that is applicable across commodities and regions.
As the Accountability Framework develops, elements will be integrated into various monitoring tools, platforms, regional initiatives, and services that support responsible production and sourcing. By creating an umbrella of harmonized norms, the framework will enhance the credibility and legitimacy of other tools to address social and environmental risk in supply chains. It will also help companies better navigate and utilize these tools across disparate commodities and geographies in support of their global sustainability goals. Finally, it will enable the tracking and management of progress at larger national or subnational scales, or relative to global pledges such as the New York Declaration on Forests.
As 2020 commitment deadlines approach, the Accountability Framework will help accelerate the maturation and standardization of implementation efforts by companies, service providers, government, and civil society. By 2020 and beyond, widespread application of credible, flexible, yet globally consistent approaches will catalyze a sharp decline in commodity-linked ecosystem destruction and human exploitation. The result will be demonstrable progress toward the fulfillment of key global sustainability targets.
The Goals
The Framework
The Accountability Framework will define a clear pathway for responsible action on the ground and across supply chains by developing a set of consensus-based implementation norms.
What's in the framework
- Common definitions of key terms and concepts related to forests and natural ecosystems, deforestation, restoration, community rights, and others
- Guiding principles for good practice related to supply chain mapping, monitoring, verification, reporting, claims, and other aspects
- Specific operational guidance on these topics
- Guidelines for addressing currently undefined or ambiguous scenarios related to the implementation of commitments
How the framework is being developed
- Working groups consisting of key stakeholders and experts are being convened to develop Framework elements on forests and ecosystems, social accountability, verification, and reporting and disclosure.
- Regional liaisons are informing and involving stakeholders in key tropical producing regions: South America, Africa, and southeast Asia.
- Other interested stakeholders are invited to contribute to the framework development through consultations and review of draft framework elements.
- Company input will help ensure that the framework is fit-for-purpose, with clear and practical implementation norms.
How the framework will be used
- The framework's common norms will be incorporated into a range of monitoring tools, platforms, regional initiatives, and implementation efforts by companies and their service providers. These include initiatives such as Global Forest Watch, the High Carbon Stock approach, and the Collaboration on Forests and Agriculture in South America.
- The framework will be localized and adapted to specific commodities and regions; this avoids the need to build systems from ground-up and facilitates harmonization.
- Implementation tools and initiatives can benchmark against the framework; this offers companies a single clear reference for supply chain management and can help enhance the credibility and legitimacy of effective implementation systems.
- Clear and comparable reporting data, based on Accountability Framework guidance, will inform more accurate reporting of progress at the level of companies, national and sub-national jurisdictions, and global targets.
Our Theory of Change
The aim of the Accountability Framework initiative is to protect ecosystems and improve the wellbeing of people and communities in commodity-producing landscapes. These impacts will be realized through the fulfillment of supply chain commitments by the year 2020 and beyond.

Bronenosec were newcomers to the circuit in 2015 but made a very impressive debut, winning many races and from the very outset proving themselves to be serious contenders as well organised and resourced team. They continued to compete well in the middle order group but at the same time always threatened to pull off a regatta win. In 2018 they will do only a few regattas on a chartered TP52.
Vladimir Liubomirov's Bronenosec team has a strong Italian-Russian mix enjoying a truly cosmopolitan team line up.
The crew placed fifth overall in 2017 with a strong finish in Menorca and a welcome second place in Porto Cervo. They proved their potential many times but just seemed unable to break into the top group and stay there. For Sardinia, veteran Tommaso Chieffi came in to work with Morgan Larson as strategist; in Portals, America's Cup winner Ray Davies stepped onboard; and in Menorca, Francesco Bruni sailed in the afterguard. But all in all, their season was a little too up and down to finish better than fifth.

The Indiana Attorney General's Office is looking for owners of $722,266.99 in savings bonds and has issued public notices in each of Indiana's major newspapers across the state to find them.
The process of returning the bonds has been difficult, the AG's office said in a press release, because they contain outdated information. Names and addresses on the bonds are anywhere from 27 to 74 years old. The bonds will have likely passed by inheritance to people other than the original owner, which also makes it hard to find the rightful claimant.
In the last month, the Indiana Unclaimed Property Division has created more than 2,000 claims for matured bonds.
The attorney general's office returned more than $88.5 million in property in 2015, and a total of $610 million has been returned since 2000.
To see the list of unclaimed bonds and to begin a claim, go to IndianaUnclaimed.gov. The Unclaimed Property Division's toll-free number is 1-866-IN-CLAIM. This is a free service of the Indiana Attorney General's Office.

[Fun] I Can't Believe You Made It!
If you lived as a child in the 40's, 50's, 60's or 70's, looking back, it's hard to believe that we have lived as long as we have...
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets.
(Not to mention hitchhiking to town as a young kid!)
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times we learned to solve the problem.
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. Our parents knew that all the neighbors would watch out for all the kids.
No cell phones. Unthinkable. We played dodge ball and sometimes the ball would really hurt. We got cut and broke bones and broke teeth, and there were no law suits from these accidents. They were accidents. No one was to blame, but us. Remember accidents?
We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it.
We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda but we were never overweight... we were always outside playing. We shared one grape soda with four friends, from one bottle and no one died from this.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, video games at all, 99 channels on cable, video tape movies, surround sound, personal cell phones, Personal Computers, Internet chat rooms ... we had friends. We went outside and found them. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rung the bell or just walked in and talked to them.
Imagine such a thing. Without asking a parent! By ourselves! Out there in the cold cruel world! Without a guardian. How did we do it?
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment..... The teams actually kept score and the winning team was allowed to be excited and the losing team learned to be good sports about it and learned that, in life - sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
Some students weren't as smart as others so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade..... Horrors. Tests were not adjusted for any reason.
Almost no one went to "pre-school" and when we graduated high school we all knew how to read, use proper grammar and do basic math. We all learned how to count out change without a calculator to tell us the amount.
The worst problems in school were tardiness and chewing gum in class.
Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. No one to hide behind. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law, imagine that!
If you misbehaved - your parents spanked you and no one arrested them for doing that! We also learned that when a parent said "No" - they actually meant that and our lives would not be ruined forever by being denied every little thing we wanted at any given moment.
New toys were received on birthdays and holidays..... not on every trip to the store. Parents gave us gifts out of love.... not out of guilt.
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years has been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
And you're one of them.

Using Limericks to help students improve intonation, timing, and word stress.
A limerick is a humorous, five line poem where the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme. The third and fourth lines rhyme too (i.e. AABBA rhyming). Often, the lines that rhyme also have the same number of syllables.
After the bear caught the fish 7
A genie gave him a wish 7
The bear didn't know what to say 8
So, he sent the genie away 8
"I already have the fish!" 7
Note: This site is helpful learning how to count syllables.
Limericks (and other poems) can be great for helping students improve speaking skills. They give English a little bit more structure and repetition makes it easier to feel intonation, timing, and word stress patterns.
When students write enough of their own poems, they'll begin to instinctively write lines with the same number of syllables. This is when you know they're really getting English patterns down.
Moreover, if students are paying attention to the syllable counts, they'll begin to see how we can play with English to create new effects. Exceptions to rules drive students crazy, but not native speakers. We use and create exceptions to make English work for us. To wit: subjects don't have to come at the beginning and words like "everyone" can be pronounced with three or four syllables.
The only problem is that limericks often have so much new vocabulary and strange grammar that teaching them can be tricky. So, with apologies to actual poets, we wrote four limericks that you might use in the classroom. Can you add anymore? Post in the comments!
There once was a sad man with a beer 9
From the side of his face fell a tear 9
Yes he was so sad, 5
His heart felt so bad, 5
When he saw his face in the mirror! 9
The rain fell upon the once dry ground 9
And sent everyone running around 9
They didn't want to be wet 7
So they were filled with regret 7
For warm summer sunshine they moaned 9
Tim rode his blue bike to school 7
Brad took his time like a fool 7
Judy wandered alone 6
Bobby talked on the phone 6
Tim was all alone at school 7

Printing Drugs on Delivery Devices
University of Michigan engineers have developed a means of printing drugs onto skin patches, ingestible strips or other means of medication delivery. The technique is so described: "Using a method called organic vapor-jet printing, a drug in the form of a powder is heated into a gas and combined with an inert gas. The combination of the two gasses is directed in a fine stream onto a cold surface. As the drug condenses on this surface, it forms a crystalline layer that remains stable. This drug layer can be tuned to have different characteristics, depending on the use case. What's important is that throughout this process no solvents are used that can inhibit the functionality of the drug. Moreover, distributing a drug over a fairly large area, instead of being compacted inside a difficult to dissolve tablet or pill, can help it to enter the body more easily." MORE WITH VIDEO

"Look at you. You're young. And you're scared. Wy are you scared? Stop being paralysed. Stop swallowing your words. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the music you want. Play it loud as fuck and dance to it. Go out for a drive midnight and forget that you have school next day. Stop waiting for friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realise that you can do whatever you want? ♥"
