In this ongoing series, we ask executives, entrepreneurs and business leaders about mistakes that have shaped their business philosophy.
Apu Gupta
Philadelphia-based tech startup Curalate, launched in 2012, helps companies market their brands through its visual commerce platform. The company currently has 125 employees working out of offices in Philadelphia, New York and Seattle, and recently closed on a $27.5 million Series C funding round.
The Mistake:
Before we created Curalate, we launched a company called Storably. The idea was that it was going to be the Airbnb for parking and storage. Our investors were all invested in that idea. But here I was, a first-time founder and CEO of a technology company, and frankly, I had a case of imposter syndrome going on. I didn't know if I was worthy of the investment, and this money came from tier-one investors and venture capitalists who are paid to know what's going on. So they had provided us with this funding and I'm thinking, "Oh, I don't want these people to see through me; I've gotta fake it to make it," — and that's truly the definition of imposter syndrome. I felt like I really had to look like I knew what I was doing, and I think that made us a get a lot wrong.
When we started building Storably, we were looking at Airbnb pretty closely -- looking at how they used the web and figuring that we had to make our site just as beautiful as theirs. Now, mind you, Airbnb's site is beautiful because they are taking photos of beautiful houses in beautiful locations. We were taking photos of parking lots and storage facilities. And you know what? No matter how good your lighting is, those things are still going to look terrible. But we were dogmatically following the lead of Airbnb and we were convinced our site had to be amazing.
I ended up going down to South Carolina to hire this firm to do design work for us. They went ahead and created some stuff for us —and it was really nice, really good work. So we put this all up on our site and pretty much everything bombs. We never got more than 2,300 people to come to the site. I mean, it was an unmitigated disaster.
Eventually I was talking to one of our investors — and this guy is a legend in my mind — and I'm showing him this great ad copy and our design work, and we've printed it out on a beautiful poster-looking thing. He looks at it all and goes, "This is probably a little bit too slick for your audience. Why don't you pass out something that looks like a hand-written note, asking, 'Can I rent out your basement? Can I use your driveway for parking?'"
He said we needed to make it look like it came from a real person. So we did it — we put little brown envelopes on windshields and in mailboxes, and just like that, we got a 10 percent response. I felt like a complete idiot. This guy in about 30 seconds came up with something that invalidated everything I had worked on for months.
We never got more than 2,300 people to come to the site ... It was an unmitigated disaster.
The Lesson:
A lot of people today talk about MVP — "minimum viable product." But even still, I don't think people think small enough. And that was the whole lesson for us: you can think much smaller than you might assume you can. What our investor demonstrated for us was that, no, we didn't need all of that stuff. It was completely unnecessary, because you can think small and still test effectively. That's the single biggest lesson we had from the Storably experience. That company had no redeeming value whatsoever, except for teaching us how to build and iterate on a very small scale. As we say today, it's about firing bullets instead of cannonballs.
Before we launched Curalate, we actually came up with about 70 different ideas and then of those, seven bubbled up to the top. Of those, we ended up building three or four. One of them was called DrinkedIn. It was a whimsical play on LinkedIn. The idea was to send four people of complementary professional backgrounds to a bar for drinks, for the purposes of networking. So what we did was find a stock photo, put some basic copy on a site, and said that our algorithms would match up our customers with other professionals. Well, our algorithm was our intern. In three hours, we took it from idea to execution, but within no time we were getting press hits from around the world. We ultimately didn't pursue it because we couldn't figure out how to monetize it, but it demonstrated, I think, that we had learned something from Storably — and I think our investors appreciated that. We had the willingness to muster from those ashes something of value to apply toward building something better in the future, and that philosophy of building small has permeated everything we do at Curalate.

Time Travel
A while back me and Milo slept on the rails down by the sea. We played chicken with the tides – and we went to sleep daring the water to touch our toes in the night. It was a close battle, and we just barely won. I woke up with waves about three inches from my face.
Then the sun woke us up. Told us to go exploring. Boy did we oblige.

Col. Vladimir Cheban, a Russian military officer and a member of Joint Center for Coordination and Control (JCCC) transferred information about monthly timetables and routes for the drones of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to the militant commander with nom-de-guerre Yakub, says Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) press office.
Thus the militants acquired information in order to hide their firing positions and military hardware from the eyes of the OSCE. Russia's Col. Vladimir Cheban was also involved in fabricating information that Ukrainian troops allegedly violated Minsk accords.
SBU has banned the Russian officer from entering Ukraine for the next five years.

Trust Bloomberg Tax for the international news and analysis to navigate the complex tax treaty networks and global business regulations.
By Lien Hoang
Singapore is taking a page out of the European tax rules book, as it rewrites legislation to thwart tax cheats who use so-called carousel fraud and related scams.
Some taxes charged on products like cell phones never make it to the government, which seeks to change that in a new draft bill that would also simplify property taxes, hasten late penalties, and digitize tax notices.
The Draft Goods and Services (Amendment) Bill 2017, which is open for public comment until June 4, will probably force certain taxpayers to rework their accounting systems, says Kor Bing Keong, a partner in EY's Singapore office.
One version of the fraud is called a carousel because a product, like a phone, can change hands through several vendors with a different tax structure at each stage.
In a simple scam, Merchant A would sell a phone to Client B at a price that includes GST, but never deliver that tax money to the government. Client B would claim a tax refund within a month, forcing Singapore to dole out funds it never actually received from Merchant A.
Merchants generally file GST reports quarterly but their varying filing times make it hard to detect foul play in some sectors, according to Stephen Phua, associate law professor at the National University of Singapore.
The new GST bill would cut out this "missing trader" in the middle, having the customer pay the tax directly.
"Under the proposed customer accounting, the customers will step into the shoes of the sellers and pay output GST," Kor told Bloomberg BNA.
In laying out the proposal, Singapore's finance ministry said that European countries like Austria and Denmark deployed similar levers to plug tax losses.
"This will deter fraud schemes where the seller absconds with the GST collected, and businesses further along the supply chain continue to claim input tax," the ministry said. "Customer accounting will be applicable for supplies of mobile phones, memory cards and off-the-shelf software, which are commonly used in fraud schemes."
Kor said he expects the rules to apply to transactions worth S$5,000 ($3,600) or more.
Bought in bulk, electronics could be easier pawns in a tax scam than, say, cars, which are more heavily regulated, Phua said.
"That risk of people in the cycle collecting GST and not handing over the tax is a big risk to the state," he told Bloomberg BNA.
The finance ministry is also equipping officials with more enforcement tools, writing into the draft bill that specific businesses "might be required to maintain an electronic inventory system with details of sales," including invoices with product serial numbers.
Phua interpreted that to mean authorities would choose to scrutinize sectors that have higher odds of tax leakage.
"Millions of goods move in and out every day," he said. "The only way is to target certain goods."
The island state is a key trading hub, ranked among the world's top 10 by number of registered ships, according to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.
Another section of the draft bill would expand customer accounting in the property market. When real estate investment trusts or related special purpose vehicles buy non-residential buildings, they calculate GST with customer accounting on the buildings, but use supplier accounting for the fixtures and furniture inside them. That's meant to "ease cashflow," as the ministry put it.
But the draft bill would lump together the furniture and building, based on customer accounting, which should "ease business compliance," the ministry said.
Regina Lim, head of Southeast Asia capital markets research at property firm JLL, said the change is minor.
"It's just to make it more convenient for people," she said by phone.
In other small revisions, the GST proposal would impose a S$200 fee per month as soon as taxpayers are late to file, rather than delaying fees one month, as well as continue the government's trend of going digital. This means GST notices will be electronic by default, with an opt-out provision for those who prefer to receive paper mail. Singapore already introduced this digital-first format for property taxes, earlier in May.
But the main preparations will fall on businesses that buy and sell big volumes of phones, memory cards, and software. Kor said many corporate accounting programs reflect output GST from the sell side. So if that transaction has to be reported from the buy side, companies need to alter their accounting systems, or record the purchases by hand, he said.
"This would inevitably increase the GST compliance cost," Kor said.
If finalized, most of the bill would take effect Jan. 1, 2018, except for the chapter on late penalties, which would take effect April 1, 2018.

Visualization of morphological dynamics in hippocampal cell cultures
To visualize morphological dynamics in dendritic processes during synaptogenesis 2D and 3D-time sequences of EGFP-transfected neurons are acquired by confocal-laserscanning microscopy. Neurons, grown for 10 days, display numerous growth cones at distal processes and highly motile filopodia along their proximal dendrites, whereas other dendritic protrusions persist within the observation period of 2 to 3 hours. Interestingly, small, motile filopodial protrusions arise also from the heads of these presumable spine precursors (see: Kreutz et al., 2008).
Mitochondria traffic
Co-transfection of mitochondria with Bassoon reveals a subfraction of labelled organelles that temporarily comigrate during confocal live cell imaging (LSM).
Long period observation of mitochondria in neuronal processes by single photon counting with our Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscope (FLIM) shows fission and fusion as well as complex anterograde and retrograde movements with resting phases and oscillatory behavior. Note, the mitochondria were continuously exposed to laser illumination and recorded for > 10h. (see: Vitali et al. 2011)
Metabolic mapping
Analysis of natural autofluorescence of cells of the immune and neuronal system to predict metabolic states. Taking the advantage of the autofluorescence of NAD(P)H one follows an indicator for intracellular energy production and enzyme activity without manipulating the cells through labeling by transfections or fluorescence dyes. Since NAD(P)H is distributed almost everywhere inside a cell, it can be used to image cells from cell populations up to single cells.

Abstract/Artist's Statement
This research proposes to examine alcohol use as self-medication for PTSD in a sample of 200 women with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD) resulting from sexual assault trauma, and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Firstly, each participant will be categorized into one of four clusters based on the research of Allen, Huntoon & Evans (1999) according to each participant's individual predominating symptomatology and negative affect. Nine instruments will be employed to gather information about drinking behaviors and other behaviors which accompany drinking. Clusters will then be examined on these behaviors. The research predicts that the more impaired clusters will drink with more frequency and in larger quantities. It is hypothesized that the Alienated and Withdrawn clusters will be more likely to drink alone and prefer drinking alone, in comparison to the Aggressive and Suffering clusters. The Alienated and Withdrawn clusters are expected to report higher levels of introversion accompanying drinking, whereas the Aggressive and Suffering clusters are expected to report higher levels of extraversion. It is hypothesized that the Aggressive cluster will be more likely than the other three clusters to experience bad (angry, irritable and/or volatile mood) when drinking and to behave aggressively. Lastly, it is expected that the Alienated and Withdrawn clusters will be more likely to self-injure than the Aggressive and Suffering clusters.

Top 5 Movie Moments In Real Life Situations
Hello Everyone,
Today we are back with another light hearted Top 5 post, this time we're talking movie references that apply to real life... often.
My last movie reference was when I casually mentioned that I tend to go a little Liam Neeson whilst in certain driving situations and that led me to think about the other times movie references pop into my head in daily life.
Without further ado, bring on the movies:
Titanic - I'll Never Let Go:
That Romantic moment when Rose releases a newly expired Jack into the deep dark sea whilst whispering "I'll Never Let Go" (which, by the way, makes no sense as she says it whilst she's letting go and watching him sink) but this moment plays in my mind every single time I use up some Limited Edition makeup, that packaging was so pretty, that product is no more and as I take it to the bin and say my last goodbyes I'm forever thinking of this scene.
An Officer and a Gentleman:
Forget being carried off by a military man in uniform, hell no, I have this moment when I find something amazing in a sale, the last handbag with 60% off, I walk like our friend Richard Gere clutching his beloved right up to the till and pay... I even expect a round of applause.
When Harry Met Sally:
I'm sure most of you are familiar with the fake orgasm moment in 'When Harry Met Sally' but this is literally me with food, any food... just food.
I often think of this moment when I'm reading one of the delicious foodie posts by Ellie from The Elle Next Door's blog (seriously, take a look at some of those photographs and tell me you don't do this too)
The Sound of Music:
Let's be 100% real here, I live in the countryside far away from any towns, I have a small child, I have many pets, all of this adds up to not a lot of time to myself to shop, but, on those rare occasions I get myself some alone shopping time, I head straight to Waterstones to browse the new releases and as I enter the doorway to the lovely quiet bookshop I'm overwhelmed with the freedom of it all and it is all I can do not to burst through the doors screaming "THE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF MUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCC" sadly I sometimes fail to stop myself and I'm now banned from most Waterstones in the country.
Jaws -You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat:
You know the drill, you've had a bad month, you've watched a few hauls online, you had a glass or 24 of a wine and got a little click happy online shopping, the postman arrives and just like Brody in Jaws (when he finally realises how effin massive that shark is), I walk backward in shock to my husband as the postman starts getting his crane out to deliver my cargo... Mate, we're gonna need a bigger boat.
I hope you enjoyed these movie moments, which movies ring true with your lives?

This was a fun read! I love your Titanic reference because that's just a funny one. I heard a little boy talk to an empty tissue box I threw away once and he said, "Rest in Peace my friend." As if it were alive! I think I relate more to Vine references now and use them quite a bit. For example, "America Explain!" when something doesn't make sense just because the video itself is funny and the tone is great. (:ReplyDelete

Innovation have become renowned for their weekender parties, having already hosted weekenders both at home and abroad in Spain. Thus giving ravers the opportunity to make a small holiday whilst raving abroad to drum and bass.
On Valentine's weekend 2006, Innovation uprooted from London town and headed off to Amsterdam, to host the Innovation "in the Dam' Weekender. Spread over two nights, the first night was to be held at 'the Kingdom club' and the 2nd night onboard 'the Ocean-Diva cruiser'.
The Innovation package included 2 nights of raving and accommodation for £105 excluding flights and transfers, there was also the option of buying club only tickets aswell. Club only tickets were under £60 for both nights.
Getting out to Amsterdam was quite cheap as we were able to book flights including taxes for £50,not too bad considering how late I had left it before booking. We sorted our own accommodation which was a 3 star hotel with bed and breakfast over 4 nights for £80 with en-suite facilities. This worked out the same money as Innovation package.
Wednesday 8th of February arrived and it was finally time to leave England, for Amsterdam and a weekend of madness!!
We flew from Coventry airport and headed for Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is only an hour away, and the time literally flew past.... 40 minutes later, whilst flying over Amsterdam at night, we flew over the Amsterdam Arena home to Ajax football club and saw what looked like a match being played. I later found out that Ajax was playing Willem II... a truly spectacular view!
Once we we're quickly thru customs at the airport, we boarded a train to Amsterdam central which cost only a few euros. Our hotel was within walking distance from Amsterdam Central train station, located in the Damrak district. Having arrived a few days early in order to give ourselves plenty of time to check out Amsterdam and the various 'different' attractions on offer in this city. From the many canals, to the famous Dam square, 100's of different themed coffee shops to chill out in, and the very obvious 'Red Light' district ,there were many places worth checking out.
The Delta Hotel is situated along one of the main shopping parades, not far from the plush Magna Plaza centre. There was a good selection of brand name clothes shops, some designer labels being a lot cheaper than the UK .Seeing as this was a music holiday, we hunted down a few records shops, hoping to get a feel of how Amsterdam people viewed the drum and bass scene. Amsterdam DnB is underground, as people are more Hip-Hop and Gabba/ hardstyle orientated. Evident in the graffiti and tagging everywhere. The price of the rave was quite expensive for the locals at 30 euros for each night compared to the usual 5euros and parties that finished at 6am.
Back home we purchased club only tickets online before we flew out. Unfortunately our tickets never arrived before we left so we were advised to meet the Innovation rep's at the Bulldog hotel located in the red-light district of Amsterdam. When we arrived at the Bulldog hotel we had been told that the Innovation crew had moved round the corner too the Hunters vodka bar. Once here we were able to sort out passes for both nights.
Friday night and the first night of raving was about to hit Amsterdam!!
The Kingdom Club was quite a fair distance bit from our hotel, around 20-30 mins so we decided to took a taxi there instead which didn't cost much.
We arrived at the Kingdom venue for just after 10.30 and were greeted by a massive queue. It looked like they were taking there time to search people as the queue was moving quite slowly. The Kingdom venue is one of Amsterdam's premier venues able to accommodate over 1,500 ravers.
We walked into the venue to be greeted by the sounds of Darren Jay, pumping out the tunes to getting things rolling. The club itself was very spacious with plenty of space to dance, split over 2 floors with a massive balcony over looking the dance floor. Draping the balcony were the old Innovation banners setting the party vibe.
The sound system in the Kingdom Venue was loud but there was some trouble with the mixer during a couple of sets. Darren didn't have an mc, instead he dropped a tune featuring New breed's MC Shortson with the 'Way of the new breed' lyric along with Congo Natty's 'Better than dem', 'Jam rock' remix and a remix of the classic tune from Prizna 'Fire'. No need for an mc..
After Darren Jay it was the turn of the legendary Kenny Ken with MC IC3 on mic duty. IC3 was great on the mic getting the crowd rocking. Kenny Ken played a tremendous set, plenty of new tunes being played along with some classics such as ' X-Factor', 'Everyday' a remix of 'Tribal base' and Selector' IC3 was later joined by MC Shabba. During this set I noticed Brockie was getting into the party spirit as he was spotted raving away on the dance floor!
Following from Kenny Ken it was the turn of Undiluted DJ Brockie along side MC's GQ, Shabba and Skibadee. Brockie started the set with the new 'System check' remix and continued to play 'Warhead' remix, 'Turbulence',' Ready for love' Everyday' and Represent'. GQ was tremendous on the mic with his powerful voice rattling the bass bins. Brockie continued to play 'Fruit X', 'Rah' and 'Look to the future'.
At this point I decide to have a proper wander around the club. Upstairs, at the back of the club was a balcony that overlooked the whole dance floor and was quite an awesome sight watching everyone rave away. Downstairs on the stage was another bar for the DJs ect .. next to the main dance floor was a smaller chill out room, there was quite a lot of space to chill out in as they had sofas and bean bags. Through here was the 2nd arena which was quite small. I didn't catch who was playing but the DJ was playing hip hop.
Penultimate set of the night was special guest, Breakbeat Kaos's, DJ Adam F, Skibadee was on mic duty throughout this set, hyping up the crowd with his lyrics such as 'Thank you very much for being a raver' and other crowd singing alongs. Adam F played some great tunes but his mixing was a bit off at times, still, his tune selection was spot on. Dropping tunes such as 'X-Factor', 'Warhead' Original jungle sound', 'All that jazz' an old favourite of mine 'Ska', 'Tombraider', 'Machomist' and one of the tunes that made Adam F what he is today the vintage classic 'Circles'
Final set of the evening was from Nicky Blackmarket, Nicky arrived on the decks with the happiest of smiles on his face. Skibadee was joined by Shabba and Riddla for Nicky's set. At this point i started to notice the club was beginning empty slowly. Nicky started off with the new Dark soldier remix continued into 'Dual voltage', 'Lions, tigers & bears,', 'The one' and TC's 'Warhead' remix before finishing the night with 'System check' remix which tested the bass bins in the Kingdom venue !!
Day 2
Today saw Innovation move from the Kingdom club as instead we boarded the Ocean diva. The Ocean diva was located in the Distelweg district of Amsterdam basically behind Amsterdam central station. From here a ferry would escort us over the river where we were able to board a bus which will take us direct to the cruiser.
During the day we decide to chill out and have a wander around Amsterdam we checked out the infamous sex museum and a few other sites. We also did a bit more shopping and found Midtown records and managed to get hold of some bouncy techno and classic Belgian techno from 91-92, bonus !!! What I didn't expect was there to be a mass demonstration from the Muslim community protesting at cartoon images being published in Amsterdam Square this was a little unnerving.
We didn't let that 'dam'pen our day and in the afternoon headed back to the hotel for some rest and grub. We left the hotel around just before 10pm and headed to Amsterdam Central and made our way to the Ocean diva cruiser. As promised there was a regular ferry and we were greeted by a coach that took us to the vessel, which didn't take too long especially in the amsterdam weather, which was very cold.
The Ocean diva cruiser was docked. Illuminating the night with its bright lights spread across the exterior of the vessel. It looked an excellent venue. The size of this vessel is massive, nearly 300 foot in length, and able to host up to 1,500 people. The boat was anchored on the dock, from outside you could hear MC Det's dulcit tones vibrating over the sound system. There was a small tent where the Innovation security team were located, queuing at this time didn't take too long and they also allowed you take in 5g of weed. but no pre-rolled joints onto the boat. Regardless we all received a very thorough search, and we were allowed to board the cruiser. Due to set sail sometime after midnight.
We headed through the large glass doors and made our way to the dance floor, the boat had 2 floors, one as a balcony that overlooked the dance floor. It was quite dark in here but very spacious. DJ Baron and MC Det where on setting the mood and vibe for the night, the sound system was loud on the boat. There was a small stage for the MC's to MC upon with massive speaker stack located either side of the DJ box.
Baron and Det where getting things hyped in here and the dance floor got busy quite quickly, Baron played ' X-Ray', 'Mysterons' and 'The vault'.
After Baron it was the turn of the infamous Bryan Gee, one of the sets I was looking forward to most on this weekender, as you can put money on Bryan to play a few of the latest dubplates. Bryan Gee had MC Bassman on the mic for him. Bryan played a range of tunes from the jump up and rolling style to those with a liquid vibe, basically playing tunes from across the drum and bass spectrum. Bryan dropped 'Warhead' Lil Kim's 'Lighters up' drum and bass remix, 'Warhead' remix he also played my favourite tune of the moment featuring MC Jakes 'Deep' as well as a remix of two classic tunes from the legendry V 'It's a Jazz thing' and 'All crews'.
Next up was Innovations very own Mickey Finn alongside Bassman, a classic DJ and MC combination that has been tried and tested through the years. Bassman was superb during this set as the stage for the MC's was very small and intimate dropping his dirty dark lyrics. Mickey started the set with the new 'Lighter' remix and carried on playing ' The one',' Feelings' and DJ Hazards 'You must think first'. Half way through the set saw the arrival of MC Eksman with his partner in rhyme, MC Herbsman, just in time before the boat set sail.
Following on from Mickey Finn was DJ Fresh with MC's Eksman and Herbsman this was the point when the Ocean diva set sail, and although the boat was moving it didn't feel like it. I enjoyed DJ Fresh's set, he played plenty of upfront tunes setting the party alight as he played ' Tarantula',' Everyday', 'X-Factor',' Dubplate Killah'. Eksman and Herbsman were wicked on the mic,hyping up the party with Eksman getting the crowd involved with his lyrics as plenty of ravers were reciting them back to him. Fresh finished the set with 'Machomist',' The Vault',' Trust me', 'The Vault' 'System Check' and' All that jazz'.
Taking the DJ spot after DJ Fresh was Kenny Ken. With Kenny K playing two sets over the weekend it looked like there was be some no shows and he was filling in.? Would have been nice for Kenny Ken to play Classic jungle set to break up the weekend, but he was playing upfront like the previous night at the Kingdom Venue, at this point I decided to have a proper wander and explore the vessel.
The boat's interior was huge, along the top deck it was wall to wall glass panels so you could see the view outside if you didn't want to get cold on a very frosty night. But with it warming up a little on the dance floor I thought I'd cool down with the sea air flowing in this direction. There was quite a bit of a contrast looking outside seeing the city's bright lights and calmness to turn around and see the craziness happening on the dance floor.
Inside the boat were numerous bars. The Ocean Diva were implemented a token system. For 10 euros you got 4 tokens, most of the drinks were 2/3 tokens each, which worked out at 5 euros for each drink which was £3.60 per drink back home.
Back to the dance floor and Kenny Ken was finish up with Bassman, Eksman and Herbsman MCing all together passing the mic around, the MCing was off the hook! Kenny finished up with 'Girl', 'Terrorist' and a remix of 'Fire'
Final set of the night came from Formations very own DJ SS alongside MC Warren G, an MC who I've not seen for many years. Another set that I was quite impressed with. SS started the set in true SS fashion with a remix of 'Lighter' and continued to play 'X-Ray', 'Tarantula'. SS decided to play a few tunes I've not heard in quite sometime. He dropped 'Basement track', 'Creeper' and 'Body rock'. SS also dropped quite an interesting track which had a breakdown halfway through which sounded like a house / hardcore track which saw quite a number of people raising their hands in the like the old days!
With the time fast approaching 5.00 am we decide to leave the boat as the last bus to the ferry was to depart at 5.30 and we didn't fancy getting crushed in the rush at the end, also our flight home was at lunchtime.
Overall I did enjoy the weekender for the experience as this was the first time that I'd been out to Amsterdam. The atmosphere on both nights was brilliant making it a trouble free event. I really enjoyed the Kingdom venue club,a really nice club, laid out well and the lighting and production were spot on. Raving on the boat was definitely different, but the production wasn't as good as the club, the sound system was brilliant but the lightning did let the boat down as I felt they did over use the smoke machine at times.
What I found quite annoying were serving drinks in glasses leading too much glass on the dance floors which wasn't cleared up on both nights.
It was quite disappointed to experience the number of no-show at this weekender. I expected maybe one or two no-shows but there were about 5 big names that didn't show. DJ's who where playing, had to end up doing 90minutes or 2 hours sets on each night to make up for those who hadn't shown up. I was looking forward to seeing the likes of Grooverider, Andy C, Swift, Hype and MC Fearless. What a shame.
Even with the no-shows it was still a good weekender. As I mentioned already the atmosphere and the vibe from the ravers was brilliant, as you could have the best DJ's and MC's in the land, but if you don't have the friendly vibe that was experienced on this holiday then you don't really have a memorable experience .There majority were English ravers though I noticed ravers from Manheim in Germany where there too and a few others I met from surrounding countries.
I thought on the first night people might of over done it on the old weed, as people weren't dancing as much and drifted off earlier, though they must have learnt from the Friday night, as on the Saturday people weren't smoking as much and where definitely livelier and dancing more, maybe that was the mushrooms ?
I wouldn't want to have a long holiday in Amsterdam. Had Innovation not been there I would of got bored and if your not into your hard drugs and seedy sex there is not much else on offer for an extended holiday. It was great to have a break away from the norm and go raving abroad rather than waiting for the summer to arrive and Innovation in the sun.
Big respects go out to Lloyd, Mickey Finn, Gav and the Innovation team, Eksman, Bassman, Herbsman, Det, Bryan Gee, Nicky Blackmarket, Darren Jay, Kenny Ken, GQ, IC3, Brockie,
Massive shouts to Shaun, Satin, Zoë and Collette, Blaze, Amy, Jessie and Maddi, Markit, Brian BK and Sean, Alpha, Mistress Mo also to everyone else whose names I don't' know but faces I recognise.

(Project timeline: September 2017 - August 2018)
Minoritized students are underrepresented in the STEM fields, and are disproportionately represented among early program withdrawals. A lack of attention given to the intersectional identities of students hints at a systemic erasure of specific differences in these programs. This erasure and the lack of relatable mentors or role models can severely affect important factors influencing student success and retention, including self-confidence, self-efficacy, and a sense of belonging.
WATiMake is an academic makerspace developed by the MME department. This project will discuss the potential for this makerspace to serve as a Third Space, which allow students to bridge their personal identities with their academic or professional identities, by providing students with the freedom to learn and develop through self-driven, skill-building activities and project-based learning. The impact of making activities will be explored through the lenses of student success, program satisfaction, self-confidence, self-efficacy, and a sense of belonging.

"As we only have 75 pairs of tickets to give out, we will only give them to the first 75 Glitterati Nuffnang bloggers who posted the text correctly into their blog with a valid link from their comments."
That's not all as we're also giving out Premiums for the movie such as;
3 x Limited Edition Underworld: Rise of the Lycans Shot Glass Set
3 x Limited Edition Underworld: Rise of the Lycans Sword Letter Opener
3 x Limited Edition Underworld: Rise of the Lycans T-Shirt
10 x Limited Edition Underworld: Rise of the Lycans Keychain
It is the summary about the movie from nuffnang.
"The third film in the $200 million UNDERWORLD franchise delves into the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires, known as Death Dealers, and the barbaric Lycans (werewolves). A young Lycan, Lucian (Michael Sheen), emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Bill Nighy), the cruel vampire king who has persecuted them for hundreds of years. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, the beautiful vampire Sonja (Rhona Mitra), in his battle to free the Lycans from their brutal enslavement."
My opinion : so boring to read the summary. Hopefully I can be the first people who watch this movie. Do you agree with me? If yes, participate together with me. Maybe you will the 75 lcuky people who take the ticket.
My opinion : the trailer is too fast already. Cant see clearly and only 1.58 second only. Hopefully I can win the ticket and enjoy the 1 hours and 36 minutes's "UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS " in the cinema with the cold air-con and confortable seat.
At the end of this post, I am the first time participate the nuffnang competition and I hope that Iam the winner of this contest. I know that it is hard to win the prizes of nuffnang, but I believe that "everything is possible" !!
I love 'The Rise of the Lycans starts Jan 09′ !!

Thank you, Adelle! :-) The photo was taken before the varnishing, so it didn't get all the nuances. After the varnishing no photo could catch the subtleties and details, which is a pity in this world where people buy stuff with one photo as reference. On the last exhibition it was pretty crowded with people putting their faces as close as possible to find details or crazy twitches. The paintings are, finally, going somewhere that I like and can get behind. :-) I have had even two sweet critics, one from two professional trendwatchers who agreed that my works were "far above the level of Ghent" (city I live in) and the other one by a professor in art history, stating "I think that when you go on like this, I'd have to write at least a chapter about your works." Two days later, nothing has been sold and I still do not get it. The market wants me to paint simple cartoonish shit, the public wants me to paint the crazy (sur-)realisms and in the middle I am: what to do? Paint half baked bullshit for money or go on and paint fine art for some hardcore fame. The latter can serve me later, the former ruins my carreer. And I need sales now. Hahaha! :-)
Aaah, my friend! :-) Well, thank you! Somehow I must constrain myself and go on with working. Eliminate every possible form of short term thinking and handling is my credo for the coming time, I guess.
Ah, painting for the love and painting for the money are two different things that artists never really seem to figure out.
Like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SiylvmFI_8
Well, money buys material. No love there, hahaha. And the choice between cheap excuses for paintings and trying to reach for the stars is a no brainer: I'd love to reach those. I gave up on being abducted by aliens, so I picked up painting. How's that for a booktitle, hahaha! :-P

My heart was indeed pained to hear of the infamous "Jackson Jive" skit on Australian television. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. I wrestled with the thought of canceling that portion of the trip altogether, extending my stay in New Zealand and only stopping in Sydney long enough to catch my flight to Dallas. Most assuredly others here in the United States would have done exactly that or the "Toldja So" crowd simply reaffirming their intention never to set foot in Australia so long as they live. Then I remembered something a mentor once said.
Individually we are poor, he intoned, but collectively the economic power we carry is impossible to ignore. Is it likely that the borders will be closed and ambassadors recalled between Australia and the United States? Hardly, hearty soul. The simple truth is that without individual travel and cultural exposure there is no opportunity to disprove the negative connotations explicit in ignorant, "innocent fun" such as this. In other words, without dialogue and interaction on common ground the only image they will have is the one they create themselves, as wrong and wrong-headed as it can be.
In to the teeth of this firestorm I am flying today, and on Emirates, no less, the flag carrier of the Middle Eastern nation of the United Arab Emirates. I've just wrapped up ten glorious days in New Zealand driving around the North Island and visiting old friends. My onward itinerary on this two-week vacation only includes three days in Sydney where I'd hardly spent any time previously. I'm looking forward to time on the beach, Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, the Olympic Village, paying my respects to "Dame Crackers" and exploring the music scene post-Little River Band, Men at Work, AC/DC and INXS.
A half century ago is still not all that long in the United States where such matters continue to play out in the work place, the market place and the neighborhoods of this land. Does that mean our Australian cousins are at least 50 years behind the advances realized in America? Can we or even should we use the same scale of history to assess what's going on in the land Down Under?
Again, hardly. I'm not going to Sydney, Australia with suitcases full of pamphlets, affidavits and banners for change. I haven't booked a hall for speeches and testimonials and have no expectations to hold a press conference or have a walk-on at some early morning talk show to give my views on race history and Oz-US relations. I'm a tourist bringing sensible clothing, my iPod and a camera, as any holiday maker would, along with my good character, sense of purpose and, dare I say it, irrepressible optimism!
I'll see what I see when I get there.
Gotta go!

Love Starbucks coffee and support marriage equality? Today -- aka National Marriage Equality Day -- is your lucky day, because you can show your support for both by patronizing the coffee chain. Dreamed up by Equally Wed magazine, the event is meant to counter last week's Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, which urged backers of the "biblical definition of the family unit" to come out in droves and put their money where their "morals" are.
But today, we gay rights activists are encouraged to have our say by patronizing Starbucks -- and various other companies that support same-sex marriage, including Abercrombie & Fitch, Amazon.com, Absolut Vodka, Nike, Apple, Ben & Jerry's, Best Buy, Delta, Disney, Ford, General Mills, Google, J.C. Penney, JPMorgan, Kenneth Cole, Kimberly-Clark, Kimpton Hotels, Levi-Strauss, Macy's, Marshalls, Microsoft, Sears, Southwest Airlines, Target, Tiffany & Co., and T.J. Maxx. Whew! And wow, how heartening is it that we have so many options?!
If only because it will make consumers even more informed about their favorite companies' politics, National Marriage Equality Day rocks.
See, that's the thing Chick-fil-A supporters seem to misunderstand. They've been so defensive of president Dan Cathy's views, whining that he has every right to his opinions. This is a free country after all! But that is not what those of us opposed to his views are taking issue with. Of course we acknowledge that he has a right to those views. Of course Chick-fil-A has every right to donate their big bucks to organizations that promote a bigoted, hateful message.
At the same time, consumers have every right to choose or refuse to contribute to that endeavor. We as consumers should be educated about what kind of politics companies we are patronizing support, and we should care. Just like you get a warm, fuzzy feeling when you buy a lipstick that purports to put donate a percentage of the proceeds to breast cancer research, those of us who are fighting for marriage equality will be proud to purchase our coffee from a chain that is promoting our progressive agenda.
The bottom-line is this: We can't sit back and play the "ignorance is bliss" card anymore. Whether you like it or not, every time we patronize a company, we give them free reign to use our dollars toward causes we may or may not support. Whether it's an official "Appreciation Day" or not, we vote with our pocketbooks. How are you going to vote today -- and every day?
Will you patronize one of the companies included in National Marriage Equality Day?

This week's song is a song of hope.
My heart has been filled with so much hope this week, love and friendship seeming to embrace me around each corner, and the accompanying peace of mind has left me with the following words on the tip of my tongue:
What is Possible?
Surrounded by human and other forms of natural beauty, my opened heart keeps asking, "What is Possible?"
I wish for you the heart of discovery this week, that new possibilities may knock upon your unlocked door.
Here is this week's song:
<3 Will

It's way late, but here it is. Thanks for sticking with me. I'll have the usual Monday post out sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening.
On top of knowing when to speak, we have to be careful of what we say. I'm sure that you can imagine from the last two posts a myriad of examples of this from how my parents handled the fish situation to the example of Suzy and her lost valuables. I'm sure you may have even remembered a few from either your own childhood or that of your own child. All of us have some moment in which our parent's words or our own could have been more wisely chosen.
The goal here isn't perfection. That's not possible, its recognition of common mistakes in conversations. Some apply to children more than others, and some can be applied to all of our interactions. I had someone once tell me that we are all salesmen. The impression that others have of us is based on our words and actions. Successful salesmen have a way with words. They know when to use them and when to shut up. They can see the moment in which to act and the moment in which to step back. While few of us want to sell anything, we can learn communication so as to facilitate better conversation with others and our children.
As I read the questions sections of How to Talk So Kids will Listen, I found myself surprised by some of the things they suggested, but as I read further it all made sense. Let me share some of these with you now.
Should we do it all the time? Of course not, that would be exhausting and quite honestly, there are going to be times that we don't exactly understand how our children feel. It's the negative emotions and hurtful feelings that we most need this ability for. That is where we have to struggle to remain clam, listen, and understand.
Why do you feel that way?
Most of us would think that we should ask that question, but this can make it worse. I'm sure we've all had a moment in which we are so mad that we can't even really figure out why we are mad. It may be the phase of the moon, a rough night with a crying baby, or that something truly terrible has happened. We may be able to rationalize our feelings, but not all children are going to be able to do this and it's just going to frustrate them more. Thinking back to my own dealings with children, it's so very true. I've asked a child why they feel homesick and they are so overwhelmed by the question that sometimes it just makes the waterworks all the worse. If we let them tell the story and vent, they will most likely figure it out. This goes back to listening before you ask or give advice.
Should we agree with and accept our children's feelings all the time?
First of all, we aren't always going to be able to agree. They just need to be accepted so that they can calm down and think more clearly. It's something I wish I, and other adults, were better about in our discussions with each other and children. They need recognition of what they are feeling not agreement or disagreement.
There are some who might think that accepting all these emotions may lead to other negative behaviors. What we have to remember is that accepting that the emotions exist does not mean that we have to accept unacceptable behaviors based on the emotions. It only means that we recognize how they are feeling and what effect it is having on them.
Is there anything wrong with saying I understand how you feel?
There isn't per se, the problem is that children aren't always going to believe you. It's going to take further examples from your own experiences to let them feel and know that you understand.
What if we are wrong in identifying our child's feelings?
Honestly, there's no harm done. They are going to let you know that you are wrong. Maybe you missed something when you were listening. It does happen to even the most attentive person. Or maybe you misunderstood. Our children are still learning about clear communication. Whatever the reason may be, go back, gather more information and try again. Even if you fumble, they'll still appreciate it. And when we make mistakes and take it in stride we teach our children that it's okay to fumble occasionally.
The author's suggestion on hearing "I hate you"
It hurts when our children use those words. We know they don't mean it, but it can still throw us off our game. Even hearing it from the campers could hurt, especially if it was a kid I'd had year after year. Talk to your child about how that feels and then suggest that they tell you in another way so that maybe you can try to help.
When words aren't enough
Sometimes it takes more than words to be able to let go enough to get to the root of the problem. Each kid is going to have different activities that can help. Some need to write, like I did when I was little. When I was older, it was a punching bag. I've met kids who blow off the steam through music, dancing, art, and other activities that they are passionate about. Sometimes a child needs time before we can help them with words. If you're looking for a place to start, drawing feelings is a good one, especially since they are young. You might even learn something from their drawings either by your knowledge of them or some research into art therapy.
What to do when you make a mistake
We are all going to slip at some point. All we can do is go to our child and acknowledge our mistakes. Not only does it set a good example for them, but it can lead to deeper meaningful discussion between you and your child.
Deviations from the norm
1 There are children who will reject having their exact words repeated to them. I remember hating this as a child and I've flinched at times that I've seen that same look of frustration on one of my campers or cousins.
2 Some children prefer not to talk right away and that's okay. There's going to be things that our kids can't talk to us about. Ever. I know I have things I would never talk to my parents about even though I know I could go to them with it.
3 Be careful how intense or cool your response is. A teenager who is having an intense emotion may become frustrated when you say "Oh You're Mad." I know if that would have been me as a teen my response would have been "No s*** Sherlock." The same is true of overly intense responses. It can make them feel that they have to deal with our emotions on top of their own.
4 I feel like this should be a "duh rule" but I've met parents who didn't get it, so I'll put it here just to be safe. If you're child ever calls themselves a name be it fat, dumb, etc., never feed that feeling by calling them that name. We can accept that pain without dignifying that feeling by using the same words.
I hope my experience as well as those that I have shared from the reading can help you when talking to your child. I know I'm not perfect. I make the same mistakes, but we have to recognize those mistakes and ones that we might make in the future, before we are able correct or prevent them. It is all about knowing our children, when to speak and when to be silent. I'm sure you're getting tired of hearing this by now, but there are a lot of aspects of raising children that relate to the concepts to know, to dare, to will, and to be silent. They aren't just concepts for the Craft or your religion, they can be a lifestyle.
Blessed Be.
