'I'm just not into that modern Country music'
Jimmy Buckley talks about breaking into a closed shop, performing with US country legends, and after Brexit, to Michael McDonagh.
Country and Irish singer Jimmy Buckley, (an Irish World Award winner in 2007 for his Live in Concert DVD), is now a veteran who been on the road for over 20 years now.
What was it like starting out?
"When I went on the road in the beginning the first few years were very difficult. It was almost a closed shop with eight or twelve bands, maybe fifteen bands on the circuit that were doing really really well on predominantly the dance circuit and it was hard to get a toe in the door.
"At that time there was no social media and very little TV like the opportunities that are available now to artistes who are starting out.
"So it was a slow process to get into venues that you could get into by word of mouth and then they would be the lesser venues and then, because you did not have a lot of work, you might be using musicians that would not be as good as those working in the 'First Division'. We had all those things to deal with when we began.
"In fairness, the thing started to turn around for me in the year 2000. Then my manager at the time, a man called Henry McMahon, took me over and he wrote me a massive hit record My Wedding Day in 2003 and from then we were flying.
"Then over the years we were able to get some other good songs and as it got better we were able to improve the band. I suppose a rising tide lifts all vessels and things just started to fall into place and I had a couple of wonderful years."
That was then, what about now?
"There was a resurgence a few years back with the emergence of , who got a lot of young people interested in going dancing and they started to go and see him.
"Then the ones who were going to the dancing classes, which were popular, decided that they would see who else is out there, so they started to come and see us. Nathan had really started to pull in a lot of those young people and my reading of the thing was that the dance teachers at the dance classes were playing a lot of people like me and so these young people were suddenly aware of a whole new circuit that they probably did not know about and they started to come to our shows.
"In fairness to Nathan, he has to get credit for this, for getting the ball rolling and getting that young crowd in. I have great respect for him and he is a great friend of mine.
"Anyway those young people went to those dance classes and became great dancers and they came on to us as we have always had a reputation of being a great dance band over the years. That is holding true and we have a strong young audience from the Midlands up to Donegal and that aspect has really given us another bite of the cherry."
How do you schedule it?
"We do dances for about eight months of the year then I do my own concerts and will tour Scotland and England then I team up with the other two Amigos (Robert Mizzell and Patrick Feeney) for our concerts in January, which have been the most successful concerts here for the last couple of years.
"We do the Three Amigos on midweek dates so it does not interfere with our own bands and we are packing out theatres all over Ireland with the show.
"It has grown over the last couple of years and is bigger now and is another feather in our caps, to be doing something different and successful."
Will audiences here in the UK get to see the Three Amigos shows?
"The idea of it is nice but I don't think it would work as there is a big production involved and it would be hard to organise just around midweek dates and we all have other things we are doing.
"Like, I have coming up the Craic in the Costa, when we go to Spain and I have lots of special guest coming with me.
"We are not going until October but we have four hundred people booked already for it and that is now a big part of what I do.
"People fly in from Dublin, Cork, England and Scotland and everywhere and, for the week's holiday, we entertain them. "I also do the cruise once a year and did it one year with Charlie Pride, which was great. I absolutely love it and what happens is that you get to know the artistes on a more personal level, as you are with them all the time and you start up a friendship. That cruise has brought about some great friendships in the music community as you are around the same people for a week having fun and the Craic, so it is like a busman's holiday. It is a great way of bonding with people with similar interests to yourself and they are great great fun."
Jimmy has worked with many big names in the industry, what are some of his favourite memories?
"I was in Nashville in 2007 and went back there in 2011 and recorded with the late George Jones and got to tour with him and that was great.
"I toured with Charlie Pride as well, they were all great.
"There have been lots of highlights, really, as it has been a long journey. I also visited Graceland, the home of Elvis, which was very inspiring."
So how did you get into country music in the first place?
"I went on an RTE talent show with a Randy Travis song and I won that, so that's when I put the band on the road and that's how I began.
"I have always loved the old country music and the country tradition with the American artistes like Merle Haggard and George Jones, Charlie Pride, Hank Locklin, Marty Robbins, Hank Williams. That's my bag and I absolutely love it. I have great respect for the Irish Country artistes too but that modern American Country Music – I would not be in to that at all. I like the early stuff."
If you don't like the modern American country songs, how do you pick your material?
"When I am picking songs for my shows I pick songs from that genre of music – the early American stuff – and mix them with other songs that have been written that would have an appeal to my punters.
"It kind of makes it different and I suppose it would be about as country as it gets on the circuit and it is great to do all those country songs."
How is 2018 panning out?
"Well, the Amigos is over since January until later but between my own thing, and the Amigos thing, from December 29 and 12 February we had just two nights off.
"Then I did the cruise and when I was back from it I was glad to get a bit of a break.
"I'll be doing all the summer festivals and I am recording a new album to be ready for further into the year and that takes up a lot of my time, as it is my own thing and there is a lot of responsibility in organising it all."
Is it true that you're not signed to a major label and run your own show?
"I am independent. At this stage, with the fans and following I have, I'm better off doing it on my own. It is the fans that matter and having websites now has changed it all – it's massive – so it's a lot easier to get your product out there and, if you know what you are looking for, you have it all at your fingertips."
You're too young to remember the bad days of the Northern Irish Border when bands were constantly searched by armed guards and soldiers but does he think Brexit might have an impact on touring acts like his?
"I don't think there will be hard border, which is great as Northern Ireland is a wonderful place to play now and the great thing about Country music is that we play to audiences from both sides of the community.
"I think if they had another vote I think a lot of people would think they made a mistake with the referendum.
"Usually in Ireland if it does not work out they keep having more referendums till they get what they want but I suppose it is different in England.
"To be honest that is what they should have done in England. When the penny dropped which way it was going to go they should have had another vote and we would not be facing all this border stuff now.
"The world is a much more dangerous place now even with that man Trump in power in America."
Jimmy said he was up against a closed shop when he started out but eventually broke through, what is it like for a new act starting out today?
"I am loving what I do but, to be honest, I had tough years at the beginning and it has come good now. It is the old story though – at the end of the day, to make it in this tough business you have to have the talent and anybody who has made it in the last years, it's their talent that won them through.
"You can have all the social media in the world and all the hype in the world but if they can't deliver they will never survive.
"To be brutally honest a new person starting out should not attempt it unless they are good enough.
"It is all very well to say 'Follow Your Dream' but you can only do that if you have the talent and are good enough. People fill you with crap when you start but you have to be honest and ask 'Can I do this, am I good enough?' If they have the talent, and humility and determination and patience and know how to work a crowd, and show a respect for the people, they can make it work – it is all these things that go into it."
"I have my Irish World Awards up in the cabinet and those awards nights were great craic. I loved doing them."

Objective: Anecdotal preliminary evidence suggests that chiropractic care may be of benefits for individuals suffering from ADHD. This case series presents the improvement in attention experienced by 9 adult patients undergoing Network Spinal Analysis.Methods: Nine adult patients are presented (4 male, 5 female) with a mean age of 40.4 years (range 22 – 58 years old). All patients were evaluated with the Test of Variable of Attention (TOVA) before receiving Network Spinal Analyis (NSA) care and at 2 months into care. The nine patients received level 1 NSA care for two months, as taught by the Association for Network Care. Neurospinal integrity was evaluated with palpation, as well as surface electromyography. Cognitive process of attention was objectively evaluated using a continuous performance test, the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA).
Results: We evaluated our patient cohort before and after Network care using sEMG and variables from the continuous performance test (TOVA). Before care, all patients had an abnormal ADHD score with a mean of -3.74 (range: - 8.54 to -1.89). After 2 months of care, all patients had a significant change in ADHD score (p=0.08) and 88% completely normalized the ADHD score. 77% and 66% of patients experienced significant change in reaction time and variability score, respectively. All patients experienced a significant reduction in sEMG pattern of activation (p=0.08). We discuss possible mechanisms by which spinal care may have enhanced the function of the prefrontal cortex, thereby resulting in improved attentional capacitiesConclusion: In this case series the nine adult patients experienced significant improvement in attention, as measured by objective outcomes, after receiving two months of Network Spinal Analysis. The progress documented in this report suggests that NSA care may positively affect the brain by creating plastic changes in the prefrontal cortex and other cortical and subcortical areas serving as neural substrate for the cognitive process of attention. These findings may be of importance for individuals suffering from attention deficit. Further research into this area is greatly needed.Key Words: chiropractic, attention, Network Spinal Analysis, thalamocortical oscillations, subluxation

Thursday night's opening game of the NBA Finals on ABC delivered a 12.3 overnight Nielsen rating, a 1 percent drop from last year (12.4) and the lowest among the four consecutive Cavaliers-Warriors playoff matchups.
The Warriors' 124-114 overtime victory peaked at 14.9 between 11:15 and 11:45 p.m.
The overall rating was 6 percent down from two years ago (13.1) and 5 percent less than 2015 (12.9).
This is the first time in any of the four major sports that the same two teams have met for the championship for four consecutive years.

It's Laura O'Donnell on the blog today sharing my planner put together with Gennifer's The Everything Planner digital kit. If you remember Gen's post from last year she had the whole thing spiral bound. I put mine together in a 3 ring binder so I thought I'd share some pictures as another option.
Here is the kit, updated for end of 2013 through January 2015. And, it's on sale through the end of the year! It is marked down from $13 to $6.50. You will be so organized in 2014!
I sent all of the PDFs to Staples for printing and they came out great.
Here is a look at the binder, then I'll open it up and show the insides
The binder, tabs, and pockets are all from the Martha Stewart/Avery collection sold at Staples. I am not affiliated with these vendors, just a happy customer.
I put the monthly sheets in first. It's nice to see the whole month along with a space for goals.
Then the weekly sheets. These have worked out great, both for planning and for keeping track of things we did on these days. I'm doing Project Life scrapbooking and find that just a few extra notes on these pages at the end of the week makes Project Life so much easier if I've fallen behind.
Then I thought a notebook section would be helpful with some plain lined paper, tabs, and stickers.
This is where I put all of the Organize Me printables. These are included in the full kit or you can get them separately. Did I mention this is a photo heavy post? This planner kit is packed with great stuff!
This is the sheet for important contacts – neighbors, babysitters, doctors office, etc.
Weekly menus, shopping, and to do lists.
Gift Giving Record. Such a good idea! When you spot a perfect gift add it to the list, then when birthdays or Christmas comes around you know just what to get.
Special Dates. I love to make cards but I'm not always so good about remembering to send them. I needed this!
And then some tabbed pockets at the end to store whatever important papers might come my way.
Did you notice I didn't print the Chore Charts? We're not nearly that organized around here to assign chores, but if you are I think you'll love them.
Here is one more look at the kits.
The Everything Planner Kit regularly priced at $13, on sale now for $6.50 through the end of 2013!
The Organize Me Printables $4
And the 2014 Refill Calendars $4
And that's everything! I took the pictures as soon as I made my binder, before I started writing in it. I'm finding it nice to be able to take the weekly sheets out when I'm working on Project Life, and having all of our important contacts and things in one place is really useful. I hope this inspires you for planning in 2014!

So here we are…..Chemo time again!!🙄 BUT this chemo marks the halfway point, session 6 out of a scheduled 12. That means its time to find out if its working eeek! 😬😬
So before we find out the news (good or bad) I thought I should fill you all in a little about how I came to be diagnosed.
I had been suffering from (well what i thought were) urinary tract infections for about a year and a half at this point, And On Thursday January 18th of this year 2018 I went to st Michael's A&E after spending a night in excruciating pain in my back, down my left leg and in my stomach and I could feel some kind of mass in my lower abdomen. They gave me pain relief and sent me for an ultrasound…..This is where the world fell from beneath me, they found something!!!
We didn't know what that something was and they couldn't get a clear picture due to the size of this mass practically taking over my whole stomach, so thinking its a gyny issue they sent me to hollestreet to be monitored and booked a ct scan for first thing the next morning, Needless to say this night wasn't a particularly nice one…So many thoughts going through my brain and again the main emotion that I still feel today is scared!! I'm not going to lie I AM TERRIFIED everyday!!
FRIDAY: I was transferred to St Vincent's Hospital for a ct scan and a MRI these showed two massive tumours on my ovaries the left measuring 20cm and the right 10cm and they had now started to bleed into each other and were growing rapidly along with my belly!!
According to the radiographer this WAS NOT looking hopeful!
SATURDAY: Biopsy day! next step was to try get a sample to get a diagnosis…this wasnt possible as they were bleeding so bad so a tissue sample wasnt achieved but they took some fluid to test (which ironically came back benign) but what I should also mention is my body wasnt adding up to what I was presenting with, In the sense that I wasnt suffering in pain for a long time as I should have been , And also my blood work was completely normal with my tumour markers extremely low. So I was hopeful for a while but they still were uncertain do they do surgery and hope its benign and that's that! or do we investigate further?
Next step was P.E.T scan…..this should certainly clear things up? not yet! scan results showed shadows in my bladder, my pancreas, adrenal gland and bones.BUT again bloods were showing nothing to indicate abnormalities in my bones?🤷♀ So myself the nurses and my consultant all still none the wiser but now im getting more frightened with every day that goes by and I still have these massive growths inside!! So Cystoscopy (look inside my bladder) next !
Results of this again were confusing yes there was something in bladder but results weren't conclusive no one knew what we were dealing with so we decided to go ahead with surgery as this is the only way to confirm for sure! so that came next….
February 14th: Day of surgery: I had a complete hysterectomy ( no more bambinos for me) and a third of my bladder removed! I'ts kinda ironic in a way you know I would have thought I was finished my family but when your are told the choice of having another child or ever trying for that little girl I always dreamed of to save me from a house full of smelly boys lol, But I wouldn't change them for the world!!😍😊 Everything was sent to the lab and then we wait and recover!
THE LONGEST WEEK AND HALF OF MY LIFE goes by and we finally have results!!!! Albeit not the outcome I wanted to hear……CANCER!!!
This is just the gist of things to start and give you a little picture of the last few months. I will delve further into the type of cancer/treatments/outcomes etc in my next post!
I hope you enjoyed reading and look out for the next one and maybe a couple of beauty hacks and tips thrown in for those who are interested! 😜
" In a world where you can be anything…..Be kind!"

Travel Diary: Seoul
I've just taken off from Incheon airport, now flying 40,000 miles in the air, Melbourne-bound, after my first visit to Korea. I've been to a lot of airports over the years and a few have impressed me, but I must say that Incheon Airport blew me away. I was a little reluctant to head to the airport five hours early for my flight, however when I discovered last-minute that many places closed on Monday in Seoul, particularly my destination of choice for my free day -- Dungdaemun Market (a collection of 26 malls, housing over 30,000 retail stores, mostly catering to women's fashion. Also known as heaven on earth, and also known as the place I never got to visit), I decided to give in and join the rest of the team on the early bus to the airport.

Among my favourite issues to complete is usually to visit concerts and shows. Discovering tickets to my favorite bands has never been less complicated as well. Say goodbye to waiting in lengthy lines at the box workplace only to become told the show is sold out following all those hours waiting. I've discovered the easiest and most handy technique to purchase concert tickets is by way of a ticket broker more than the web. All it requires could be the click of a mouse.
Your first step in obtaining Los Angeles show tickets by way of example will be to discover when and where the occasion are going to be taking location. The most effective place to obtain all of this critical info could be to go on line for an pretty much unlimited provide of sources. Most bands, theaters and venues run their own sites in which you can subscribe to their mailing list and preserve you as much as date. Plus, let's not overlook the old style way of basically tuning in to our favorite radio stations for any show announcements. Several stations also have their own web sites exactly where you'll be able to join their mailing list for email notifications of upcoming shows and Chicago occasion tickets.
Anyone who has had the misfortune of looking to buy tickets for a sold out show knows, tickets for bigger named concerts are in higher demand and go exceptionally swiftly. I've observed quite a few shows sell out in mere minutes even though most take a handful of days. So it is critical to understand the best solution to come across them from a ticket broker.
Should you discover that you nevertheless are getting a difficult time acquiring Los Angeles show tickets from the various broker internet websites, there is usually the general public sale. Inside a public sale all the leftover tickets, not been sold during any in the pre-sales or offered away for promotional purposes, are sold for the duration of this sale. Get the date of the public sale in the band's internet site or fan club and appear into creating your obtain tickets. You'll be able to buy them on the net, phone or at a box office outlet. Bear in mind these tickets, which include Chicago event tickets by way of example, go on sale at all 3 locations at the similar time. Plus all three are selling in the very same pool of limited tickets. Needless to say, they sell out speedy.
Steer clear of purchasing your tickets from a scalper on the street outdoors in the theater or arena. Far too numerous things can go incorrect with acquiring your Chicago occasion tickets this way. For one particular, a lot of scalpers try to sell counterfeit or stolen tickets. You will be denied entrance towards the venue if they're deemed to be so. Plus, several cities frown on ticket scalping and may fine your for purchasing tickets illegally.

Zuckerberg, whose net worth stands at $35.7 billion, is in the planning phase of his next venture - search advertising. With the Facebook Business arm of the empire already offering paid ads to entrepreneurs, it seems the social network guru is trying to take over the world.
For how much longer will Google be King?
Alexei Oreskovic, of Business Insider UK, says more below.
Zuckerberg didn't elaborate on what exactly the company would charge businesses for when it begins Stage 3, but it's likely to involve some sort of promotion within Facebook search results. "At some point we will probably work on that," Zuckerberg said, addressing the potential for commercial and monetizable search features. That's sure to increase competition with Google, the world's No. 1 internet search engine, which generates the majority of its revenue from search ads.

Equipping A Home Gym With Discount Gym Equipment
If you're on a health kick and have the urge to get fit but don't like the thought of handing over all that cash for an expensive gym membership when you don't know how long you're going to stick at it for, setting up a home gym could be your answer.
If you have room at home buying discount gym equipment is a great way to start your new fitness regime. One of the biggest benefits of having a home gym is that there is no reason not to go: using '˜bad weather' or '˜I don't have time' as an excuse just won't cut it! It's also a great way to get fit without feeling intimated by muscle bound weight lifters or Lycra clad gym bunnies wearing the latest designer exercise apparel. At home you can work out wearing your sloppy old sweatpants and that ancient Budweiser t-shirt with a hole under the armpit and no one will judge you.
So, you've made the decision and now you need to get started. First off, decide where you're going to work out. If you're lucky enough to have a spare bedroom, empty garage or even an attic that you can convert, then you'll be able to buy some discount gym equipment like a treadmill, rowing machine or exercise bike. Look for online discount websites or in your local paper's classified adverts for people selling equipment they no longer use. If you don't have much room go for small items that can be stored away when not in use and that you can work out with in front of the TV or even in the back yard. Dumbbells, resistance bands, Swiss balls and yoga mats are all cheap and easy to find '" your local supermarket will probably even carry a range.
Once you've got your equipment sorted you'll need something to wear. Many regular clothes stores sell fitness apparel for women and men in a wide range of sizes, making it easy and accessible to find. Of course it's fine to just throw on some old clothes but by treating yourself to some proper exercise apparel you may find that it motivates you more when you have something nicer to wear. So if you're feeling that you need that extra motivational boost, or you're planning on running and need decent sneakers, you might want to look online at a site that specializes in fitness apparel for women to check out their ranges. Good luck!

MBA is the numero uno professional degree program that gives the ability for a student to cultivate and mold their career in the best way possible. MBA aspirants keenly join MBA courses to understand real tactics of business and it also offers practical know-how of real-world business problems.
I have already answered as to why one should pursue an MBA in my previous blog post. So, what am I going to discuss today?
I am going to talk about the practical knowledge that a student will gain during his or her MBA routine which will increase their employability and in turn, help them get the best career opportunities. In short, skills that increase employability are those that will allow an MBA graduate to solve complicated problems in a hassle-free way.
So, what are these 'employability skills' that an MBA will give?
10 Employability Skills Gained by MBAs are:
"Distinguishing relevant from irrelevant information, identifying issues and problems is called Analysis"
One of the most important skills that distinguish a valuable resource from an ordinary resource is his or her ability to analyze situations even before they occur. Foresightedness is perhaps, the most important virtue of a manager/leader. Like we discussed in the previous, Business Acumen is something that makes you the employer's favorite candidate because at the time of a crisis, you will be well prepared because you had already foreseen such a situation. Qualified MBA candidates are hired unanimously by recruiters, as a global financial crisis has forced them to change their focus, as far as expansion and change in company strategy are concerned. The curriculum has also changed with most of the top colleges putting stress on Change management, business ethics, sustainability and leadership skills.
'Sales are up so everyone is getting a bigger paycheck!'
Academic achievement
"Demonstrates application and high standards of performance."
MBA is one of the toughest academic programmes in the world. Frankly, an ordinary mind cannot do it successfully. The students who complete their MBA successfully are the cream layer, and it shows their determination and commitment to their career. Anyone who does an MBA is clearly molded to be committed to the business, for in order to have the degree the candidate must have invested a lot of time and energy, which in itself is a proof of his or her determination to commitment. This academic achievement is not an ordinary feat at all. Those who are joining and completing their course are the ones demonstrating an application and high standards of performance. And this is expected instinctively by employers while they recruit you.
'He's teaching me map skills, such as how to fold it.'
"Seriousness of purpose, demonstrated both by taking time out from your career on a reduced salary (or none) in order to improve your qualifications and by combining work and part-time study."
Tunnel of commitment.
While your friends who finished graduation are applying for a job, you decided to sacrifice two years of well-paid opportunity to do something far greater. You will the money that you could have earned in these two years, but when you come out, you are much more equipped than your friends and will straight away start earning much more than them. This sacrifice depicts the commitment of an MBA student to his career.
"Realism, ability to set attainable goals."
How many times have you heard this from people 'Come on, be practical!'? Well, if you are not prepared then let me tell you very clearly- Being practical is the most important quality for people working in the business environment. A practical person always sets goals that are realistic and tries to achieve what is ideally practical, but never the other way round. Unlike technical courses which solely rely on ideal assumptions, the MBA programme only works within realistic limits. Thus, MBA graduates are automatically inculcating practicality in their skill sets which make them all the more popular at the time of recruitment. Like I mentioned earlier, after the global economic crisis, it was realized that the decision makers should be practical and not making calls based on ideal assumptions.
"tenacity, independence, organization"
Maturity isn't something that one acquires with age, but with experience. At times, it takes employees years to attain maturity affects their decision-making capabilities, tenacity and organization skills. However, with MBA you can get the experience when you are studying. The course and its curriculum will shape your mind in such a way that you will attain maturity that is required for any kind of job in this world.
"...and if I do hire you...what's in it for me?"
"Fact-finding, skills, clarity, judgement, courage."
Decisiveness is an art, honestly. A person who is able to find facts using his skills, and judge with clarity and courage to come up with the most productive solution with the least possible repercussions is a good decision maker. Making right decisions is the most significant trait needed in corporate business environments. Well, it is needed in every step and every minute of life, even in the smallest of matters. If you are planning to do an MBA, then you are already tuned to make right decisions. But make sure you do it from an internationally accredited and recognized Business School like Regenesys or Oxford. Through their intensive curriculum, they will give you all the necessary skillsets needed to boost your decisiveness.
Intellectual creativity
"The ability to develop new concepts and ideas."
Intellectual creativity is the freedom to explore your interests in order to develop new concepts and ideas that are innovative and engaging. Every day, the corporate and business world looks for fresh and engaging innovations which can keep up with the growing needs and aspirations of the world.
It is possible that you might start out working at an FMCG organization such as Amazon and learn a lot about finance and banking that you might go on to change your domain later. When you have a deeper understanding of the complicated and sophisticated working of the business world, your intellectual creativity will help you make innovative decisions.
Communication skills
"listening, speaking carefully and clearly, the ability to put across your arguments fluently in writing."
When a person who is recruiting sees an MBA on your resume, she will assume that you are already equipped with brilliant communication skills. Among the set of skills that employers consider primary during recruitment for business graduates for managerial positions is communication skills. Leadership, technical skills, and teamwork come secondary. Did you know that employers and recruiters rank communication skills three times more important than technical or managerial capabilities? This in itself tells you how important com skills are in a business environment. Throughout the MBA programme, maximum stress laid on improving communication skills of the student. Mark Tyler of Regenesys Business School reveals that they train students in the following areas:
Group Skills
"teamwork, leadership, ability to motivate others."
Group skills are one of the major criteria upon which a candidate is judged during the time of interview. Like mentioned before, comm skills and listening are two important part of this.
To Conclude
An MBA definitely does a lot more than just increase your job eligibility. It makes you the best pick of the employer for any kind of situations. So, you should definitely do an MBA, and it should be from a reputed and Internationally accredited institution like Regenesys Business School.

Fashion News | Xian Brings the Edge To Toronto Men's Fashion Week
Xian's G.W.T.X collection showcased at TOM provides a taste of his Chinese roots with a strong streetwear aesthetic and goth influence, contextualized within a 'Rick Owens' type philosophy that black brings "sharpness and punctuation." Colours were accentuated by the dominant black, sharpening the black even more.
The outerwear in this collection was the main focus point, including faux fur, leather and parka jackets. My favourite outerwear pieces were the white/black/sky blue leather biker jacket that patterns a gradient look, the orange/black parka jacket with abstract 'paint-stroke' patterns, and the snakeskin-patterned leather suit jacket with pink interior lining.
Featured accessories included faux fur Russian style hats (designed by The Malahai), which pays homage to his hometown of Harbin, China – a city intertwined with Chinese and Russian culture – as well as stylized top hats (designed by Jaycow Millinery).
Another point of interest and intrigue is Xian's attention to detail and fluency. His collection was a consistent stream of edgy and alternative streetwear looks that broke down barriers of formality. When I think of who he is as a designer and compared both his identity to this collection, I was reassured of his sincerity and passion.
As mentioned before, most of the collection was in a predominately darker colour range. I'm one of those people that go into a store and gravitate toward the pieces that are black, not so much out of comfort, but because of what it stands for. It has an attitude and classic factor about it that is relatable. It's a powerful statement colour and projects a feeling or mood. This is exactly how Xian presented his collection. I felt the energy from each look because they spoke through design.
Something valuable to take from our experience is how important it is to be open-minded when it comes to fashion (and in life as well). Xian's designs were unique and out of the ordinary, while the entire collection and its story as a whole was composed and stayed true to his visual objective. It's not always about if you would wear something or not; it's about appreciating the time and effort that goes into the creative process and putting a runway show together that is genuine and exciting.
If you would like to learn more about Xian and check out his story/designs, visit his website or Instagram!

Today's news revealed that spoilsports at the US internal revenue service are arguing perks at US companies like Facebook and Google (where you can have relaxing yoga sessions, in-office massages and free sushi in the restaurants) should be taxed. The news could mean the end of some of the uh-mazing luxuries US employees currently enjoy. Gutting news indeed for LinkedIn staff and their perma-stocked ice-cream freezer and poor old Dropbox employees who might lose their beloved Whisky Friday happy hours (us jealous?). Check out the pictures of some of the coolest offices in the world – yes, they are real!
<<< Microsoft, Vienna
Here at Cosmo HQ, we started thinking about our own dream office and what it would offer – read on for our verdict....
"A hot tub for quick lunch time dips (or an alternative meeting space). A therapy room for 5 minute massages and min-facials. Maybe even a BLOW DRY BAR. Oh and a juice bar please."
Holly Coopey, Fashion Assistant
"I'd like the uber-hot new Diet Coke hunk to visit at 11am every day for a Diet Coke break. Preferably shirtless, bearing macaroons."
Sophie Goddard, Junior Features Writer
"Some amazing Firmdale Hotel-style bedrooms for private snoozing on your lunch break. A gourmet chef who makes healthy food. A ban on the copious amounts of cupcakes and sweet treats that make me hate myself and stylish desk unit just for me with a beautiful view onto a lush garden with a pool."
Harriet Stigner, Editor's PA
Square, San Francisco
"Free pizza for lunch and rollerskates compulsory for everyone so we can roll from desk to desk."
Rosie Mullender, Deputy Features Editor
"A nail boutique and extremely hot butlers coming around handing out Magnum ice creams or smoothies (depending on how naughty we're feeling). Plus a COSMO PHOTOBOOTH with props and everything. And a doggy crèche please."
Leanne Bayley, Online Picture Editor/Entertainment Writer
"A pug palace!"
Gemma Roberts, Assistant Picture Editor
"I'd love a chill-out area with comfy sofas and chairs and huge fish tank like at Reuters because they're pretty cool to look at. Some micro pigs would be nice too."
Penny Travers, Web Intern
"Sleep/rest pods for lunch break. A cat room (full of cats to hang out with). Nice 'mood' lighting that doesn't give anybody migraines and heated seats and a library with loads of fashion and design books."
Jess Turner, Junior Designer
"Those massage armchairs you get at service stations, but without the coin slot. Also a dry floatation tank."
Rebecca Stening, Editorial Business Manager
Skype, Stockholm
"A surgery with a GP!"
Guiraldes, Ricardo, Deputy Art Editor
"I'd like an in-house WAH Nails crew to give me a fresh manicure. An office decorated in bright colours and fairy lights. Cosy beanbags for meetings and Tom Hardy bringing us Cosmo cocktails. Oh and a giant slide which plonks me straight into the seat of a chauffeur-driven car."
Collette Naden, Cosmo Web Assistant
"Some fitties to provide pick-me-ups when needed (I mean compliments and encouraging words!) And a bar that springs up at 5pm on a Friday please."
Lorna Gray, Features Writer
"A HUGE pick 'n' mix area!"
Karen Meachen, Head of PR
"There would be Mexican Mondays. So every time the Monday Blues kicked in a Mariachi band would come and present you with a burrito. A FroYo machine in the kitchen (with toppings, obvs) and a smoothie bar. Plus a rooftop terrace (essential for summer in the city). I'd also quite like Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hardy to be manning reception."
Rebecca Fletcher, Features Intern
Red Bull, London
"A pool (either on the roof or in the basement) and a mini Starbucks (where everything is free!)."
Laura Puddy, Stylist
"A free chocolate vending machine. Lots of greenery, lots of animal visitors and a massage therapist every Monday and Friday to start and end the week with a bit of TLC."
Shelly Vella, Fashion & Style Director
"A ginormous cheese fountain… and a chocolate fountain. And maybe a vodka fountain."

The Cleveland Cavaliers (1-2) are clearly still figuring each other out, and working out the kinks on both ends of the floor.
LeBron James isn't worried about team chemistry, however.
James polices selfish play closely, and says it simply won't fly with the Cavs.
Per the NOMG:
"I won't allow individuals to be selfish," James said after the team's shootaround [Tuesday]. "If I'm on the team, you automatically have to be unselfish, so I'm not worried about it."
"It took a little time. Obviously you have to earn your ranks in this league first of all," James said. "When you become a leader of a team and when you're successful at doing things the right way, then everyone kind of buys into it.
"Everyone wants to win, I would hope. Would you rather play selfish basketball and lose or play unselfish basketball, sacrifice and win? So you pick it."

|Avatar for a God/Demon/Supernatural Creature Beyond All Comprehension
Don't want to put in the effort it takes to be an Evil Overlord, but still want all the
glory? Then why not become a supernatural avatar? This career is ideal for the
who wants to make a difference. You simply get possessed, lose all sense of self,
and then let Nyarlathotep take over as he brings about the end of the world! Now that's what I call a difference!
There are numerous ways become a supernatural avatar. These include:
1) Find a copy of the Necronomicon
A warning on that last one... Some things are perhaps best left undisturbed.
Once you've let whatever abomination you've chosen take over, there's really not much left to do. Except scream in anguish. And claw your eyes out. And feel the flesh tear from your bones as the old god is reborn and grows forty stories tall and devours your friends and brings about the destruction of all humanity

AIG CEO Edward Liddy kicks off his speech to Congress with "three simple beliefs," the first of which is this:
"When you owe someone money, you pay that money back."
Alas, he ends it with an apparent admission that there is no way AIG will ever do that:
The people at AIG today are working as hard as we can to execute the restructuring plan that, we believe, offers America's taxpayers the best possible outcome:
* Repayment of AIG's debt to the government to the maximum extent possible. [our emphasis.]

Section 5: Harm and Offence
Tragic Events
The aftermath of a tragic event may require scheduling changes on television and radio or the alteration, or occasionally, the removal, of web pages. We should keep our output under review to identify anything that, in the light of events, might cause unjustifiable offence as judged against generally accepted standards. Anniversaries of tragic events, such as rail crashes, bomb blasts or child abductions, can also call for similar sensitivity to the potential for offence.

Buying an Apple device is a process that can take several days to clear up. There are many questions that we ask the buyers: will it be worth the price ?, Is it going to be supported for a long time ?, Will it be slow in the middle of the year? So many questions that we end up buying the first thing they offer us with an apple in the back.
For this, today we bring you a shopping guide for this 2018 in which we will show you the pros and cons of each iPad device and take you the one that best suits you. Keep reading!
iPad Pro 10.5
The iPad Pro 10.5 inches is the latest model of Apple that Apple has released to the market. It is among the most powerful and has a bright and colorful screen that will delight lovers of drawing and design, or also those who want to enjoy multimedia content.
This device has the latest chip available for iPad, the Apple A10X Fusion, and has 4 GB of RAM that will allow you to navigate in it with incredible fluency. If we add that it is compatible with the Smart Keyboard and the Apple Pencil, this is an excellent option for those who do not want to leave a kidney but looking for excellent performance and durability.
The latest and most powerful iPad available in the market.
A large screen in a more "reduced" body than its predecessors.
Compatibility with the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil.
Stereo sound thanks to its four speakers.
A bit expensive .
Accessories with a high price -Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard-.
iPad Pro 9.7
This iPad Pro with 9.7 inches screen was the one that started with the productivity revolution in iOS . With this device Apple wanted to get to a more professional experience with its operating system, which it achieved halfway. However, now with iOS 11 using an iPad Pro is an almost blessed experience.
The iPad Pro of 9.7 has the Apple A9X chip and 2GB of RAM. They may not be surprising numbers, but they are enough to run iOS 11 with complete ease and speed . Its base storage is 32GB, and is also compatible with Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard for a much more professional experience.
Stereo sound thanks to its four speakers.
Compatibility with the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard.
The best iPad value for money . In addition, it can be found much cheaper if you buy it restored.
Beautiful screen - although not the best on the market.
Screen smaller than the new iPad Pro.
Accessories with high prices.
iPad Air 2
The iPad Air 2 came out some time ago , however, the device has managed to move iOS 11 very smoothly most of the time. If you are worried that Apple will stop supporting you in the short term , we can only tell you that the iPad mini 4 is still being updated despite having a hardware inferior to the iPad Air 2.
This device has the A8X chip and 2GB of RAM, features that despite not being close to the latest iPads in the market, can offer a good experience in your day to day , and more taking into account that iPads are not devices that we use at every moment. It was released with an initial storage of 16GB, but Apple updated it up to 32GB. You can get it for a low price on sites like Amazon or eBay, though, most are second-hand or restored.
Lighter and thinner than the new 9.7-inch iPad - not to be confused with the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
You can find models with LTE and large storage space at a fairly low price .
Hardware a little old .
It does not have stereo speakers.
iPad mini 4
IPad mini 4 may be the oldest device on this list , but that does not mean it is bad. This device is perfect for small hands who want to use their iPad in a very comfortable way. However, there are some things you should consider if you decide to buy this terminal.
The iPad mini 4 was released with the A8 processor - that is, the same as the iPhone 6-, and 2GB of RAM. Therefore, your experience in iOS 11 is not going to be the most fluid of all, and probably iOS 12 is the latest version that you can install on your device. But the old age of this iPad has not prevented Apple from continuing to sell it officially in his store.
Really small and light .
You can find it very cheap - but not in the Apple Store.
Pretty old hardware.
Apple ** only lets you buy the most expensive version ** of 128GB .
iPad Pro 12.9
The beast, the most powerful iPad Apple has released to date; that's the description of this 12.9-inch iPad Pro. If you want to enjoy the best iOS experience , this is the perfect device for you. However, if you do not like large screens, forget about this iPad, since the terminal is almost the size of a laptop. In addition, its price is incredibly high .
The iPad Pro 12.9 has the Apple A10X Fusion eight-core chip, with 4 GB of RAM, which makes it a beast . However, this device is for those who take the experience on iOS quite seriously, or want to use it for something more professional like drawing or design.
The most powerful iPad in the world.
Four speakers that offer stereo sound.
Compatible with Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil.
An amazing screen.
It's just a very big iPad . We can not use macOS apps despite their hardware.
As big as a laptop.
Pretty expensive.
The Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard are sold separately .
Many iPad models can be used today, and most will give you a pretty good performance , or at least over the one offered by the competition.
1- If you want to buy something good, beautiful and "cheap", we recommend the iPad Pro 9.7 that still has a long journey ahead.
2 - If you want to be in the last but do not want to leave your inheritance in the process, the iPad Pro 10.2 may be recommended for you.
3- If you do not mind having a somewhat old device but with good response, the iPad Air 2 could be the best option.
4- The iPad mini 4 could be perfect for children at home or for a student who only wants to read PDFs and do some research from time to time.
5- If you take iOS seriously and want to design and draw like a professional, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is ideal for you, but remember that these accessories are sold separately.

Nathan always gets me the best birthday gifts. We are not exactly 'present' kind of people - I would rather experience something great than get one thing in particular. Each year he has upped the ante, and this year was no different. In January, he told me to pack my bags and find a friend because he wanted to send me to New York City. He knows I fell in love with New York when we visited a couple years ago, and while he is not a big city person he wanted me to go. I asked my friend Jackie and she immediately agreed to come - so our trip was born!
Side note: I didn't have my camera, so all pictures were taken on my iPhone.
My adventure actually started in Washington, DC, to help represent Tidewater and Tulle at a fun launch party for Elaya Vaughn Bridal by Kate Pankoke, a gorgeous bridal salon that recently moved from Chicago. We got to eat sushi, meet other area professionals, and participate in a Sketch n' Sip to get our creative juices flowing. The whole trip was a ton of fun (and introduced us to the amazing District Taco and SweetGreen), and was the perfect kickstart to my birthday adventure.
On Friday Jackie and I took the Greyhound to our AirBnB in New York, settling in for the night to prepare for a long weekend ahead. When we woke up we headed straight to The Bagel Store, a famous breakfast diner with rainbow bagels (this was Jackie's since they weren't gluten free friendly!) and tons of different cream cheeses in the heart of Brooklyn. After breakfast and an amazing hemp milk latte from Black Star Bakery, we explored Artists and Fleas, an artisan market in Williamsburg that had all things organic, homemade, gluten free, and innovative. We tried wheatgrass shots, sampled something called a ginger bomb, and talked with people who truly care about our world and their product in relation to it. It was incredibly inspiring and lit our hearts on fire.
Williamsburg itself is a beautiful area, and we got to walk the quaint streets, stopping for coffee at Devocion and of course sushi for lunch. We both fell in love with the brick storefronts and the high-end but completely welcoming stores and restaurants. After lots of exploring in the warm sun, we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge (which I didn't know was possible!) and encountered all the beauty of the Manhattan Skyline juxtaposed against the East River.
Once in Manhattan, we toured the 9/11 Memorial, rode the Roosevelt Island Aerial Tram, and visited the beautiful St. Patrick's Cathedral on our trip around the city. For dinner we ran across an authentic Italian eatery, PizzArte, that served gluten free pizza and had us speaking Italian to our servers by the end of dinner. We ate light, because dessert was at Max Brenner Chocolates - and oh how incredible that was! Chocolate ice cream, s'mores, white chocolate ganache - we pretty much died and went to chocolate heaven. After dessert we picked ourselves back up and explored all the excitement of Times Square at night before crashing hard into bed.
Feeling a little sore the next morning, I took my first hot yoga class at Yoga to the People. It was hard but SUCH a good workout - and left us both feeling refreshed for another long day. For a brunch we discovered Hu Kitchen, which was my personal favorite. It serves exclusively Paleo food that is also grass-fed/organic/grain-free/absolutely delicious. I even picked up some Paleo chocolate to bring home!
The rest of the day was filled with more exploring and adventure. It astounds me to know we didn't even make it to Central Park (next time!) because between Strand Bookstore and its 18 miles of books, taking a trip to the 70,000 foot B&H Store with SO much Nikon equipment, and visiting Kleinfeld Bridal, we just didn't have enough time to see it all. Lunch at Koshe Poke absolutely hit the spot before we headed back home.
This blog is already long enough, but I have to say one more thing. The adventure itself was amazing, and I loved seeing all the sights of New York and falling in love all over again. But just as good as what we did and saw was who I got to go with. Traveling with a close girlfriend, one who not only shares my heart for adventure and foodie places but also can talk with me the. entire. time. about life and business and everything in between was a highlight equal to the trip itself. Needless to say, we're already planning our next trip back - and it will be well before I turn 27!
