There's no easy way to say it: unless you are traveling with one of our specialists, you simply won't get the depth of experience — the wisest guides, the closest wilderness encounters, the real people and events — that spell the difference between a regular package tour and a sublime, once-in-a-lifetime vacation. But don't take our word for it. Listen to our travelers.
My husband, Rene, and I had a wonderful week on the recent Romanian Wine Tour by Cultural Romtour and would thoroughly recommend the experience to anyone. We visited not only Romania, but the Republic of Modavia and the Transnistria Republic and enjoyed some wonderful hospitality. We stayed in several lovely wineries, with excellent wines and delicious food. We have fond memories to keep, and some lovely gifts of wine and cognac, which won't last quite as long.
It was our pleasure to travel for the better part of two weeks with the above agent. All arrangements were made by Razvan Balint. We were accompanied by Razvan and one of his guides Victoria throughout Romania. Our hotels were both interesting, different, historic and reasonable and our private tour represented both personal and special interests as well as positive surprises from the agent. We had a most interesting and enjoyable trip and would highly recommend his agency and services to fellow travelers. We recommended him to a well traveled friend who used his services and had a most positive experience as well.
Dear Razvan,
Thank you so much for this fantastic educational trip. Your organisation was perfect, your company / guidance most appreciated.
And i can say that this trip immediately comes in my top 5 trips ever in my 27 year career. Thanks a lot: fantastic discoveries, fantastic explanations, very good and nice hotels, excellent food everywhere, and so on… Also special thanks to Natasha. With her enthusiasm she made us discover Moldova and Transnistria in a fantastic way.
One of the best experiences for traveling and knowledge… Mr. Balint allowed us to get acquainted with Romania in just a few days, full of culture, history, and gastronomy, especially through his disposition, gentleness, and sensibility to our needs. In other words, a true experience to those who want to travel and understand, to have a unique experience of cultural immersion, within a week!
I visited Moldova in October 2012 having booked the "Essential Moldova" 6-day tour featured in the Regent Holidays website but using Ways, based in Chisinau, to handle the actual itinerary. I was booked into the Best Western Flowers Hotel an excellent, centrally located hotel that became my base. My guide throughout my stay was Natalia Cojuhari who, along with driver Victor, showed me the highlights of this delightful country.
My flight from London was with Austrian Airlines via Vienna and was straightforward as was arriving in Chisinau, clearing immigration & customs and arriving at the hotel. I had the afternoon free to settle in & get my bearings. On the first day we had a tour of Chisinau and a visit to the Cricova winery with its extensive underground cellars – followed by a tasting of some of their wines. The wines were very good – clean, balanced and well-made with structure & true varietal character. Natalia also took me to the Moldovan Wine Festival in Chisinau – an excellent outdoors event staged at the Moldexpo exhibition centre. This festival includes local produce as well as wines – so I had the opportunity to try local delicacies as well more excellent Moldovan wine.
On Day 3 we visited Tipova to see one of the oldest cave monasteries in the country and then on to the Orheiul Vechi to see a 13th century cave monastery and a museum with exhibits depicting the traditional ways of life in 19th century Moldova. On Day 4 we went to Soroca and Pokrovka to visit a medieval fortress; the Candle of Gratitude monument and the Romany district that features in Tony Hawkes' book "Playing the Moldovans at Tennis" (which I read when I got back to the UK). On Day 5 – and one of the highlights for me – we visited Gagauzia – which is just a wonderful name. Gagauzia is an autonomous region of Moldova. We visited the capital Comrat and explored the markets there and then went to the village of Besalma to visit the excellent Cioban National Gagauzian History and Ethnography Museum. Day 6 – and sadly my last – we went to Tiraspol, the capital of Transdniestr a self-proclaimed independent republic that has its own currency – a fascinating day as guide books lead you to believe you are stepping back into a 1950's era Soviet land but Tiraspol is in fact a modern, friendly city – but they do speak Russian and use the Cyrillic alphabet.
Throughout my visit to Moldova Natalia was the perfect guide – friendly without being invasive; informative and enthusiastic about Moldova but pragmatic enough to let you know what you are seeing and why and to make it even easier Natalia has flawless English. Not just fluent – but able to understand and converse using everyday nuances and idioms. Natalia gave me plenty of recommendations for dinner in the evenings and walking around Chisinau is perfectly safe and is quite a friendly city.
I went to Moldova knowing next to nothing about it and came away very fond of the place. Natalia made the holiday interesting and fun – with little things like having lunch at a Russian Orthodox Old-Believers restaurant; taking me to see the statue of Baron von Munchausen in Tiraspol; naming the old Russian cars that I'd never seen before and pointing out the crows that leave the city at dawn to return to roost at sunset (which I found particularly fascinating). For anyone wanting to visit a charming, friendly country that is making its way in the world but not yet a major tourist attraction – then come to Moldova with Ways who know how to look after you and will show you the real Moldova so that while you won't come away feeling like a native – you will come away with a genuine & lasting fondness for it. And if you are lucky enough to have Natalia Cojuhari as your guide then you will be in the best company!
I can tell you that i made the trip to Tiraspol (Transnistria) which went very well. I was excited and pleased of the places visited, not only for the charm of these places, but also by the serenity and hospitality of the people from Transnistria. However, the most important for us was our guide, Ms. Natalia Cojuhari, very well prepared, highly professional, very prudent in our needs, always available in our every requests even if not on the established program of the tour. In addition, the transport services were efficient at best, with an excellent driver. Therefore, i would like to thank Ways Travel for organizing this trip for us and i would like to recommend this travel operator and Natalia to all our Italian friends who intend to visit the Republic of Moldova. Thanks!
Natalia is an excellent guide with a lovely personality..She spoke clearly and gave detailed explanations of all the points in her tours..She chose interesting local spots on the way and recommended places to eat(all the restaurant form y group dinner was perfect) and shop which we would not have known on our own..We really enjoyed our days and the tours with her in Moldova….Hope to see you again with other groups..All my friends from the group sent you their best wishes…
Upon arrival in Chisinau after a tiring flight Natalia brought the energy back into our group with her walking tour of the city. She shared a lot of information and interesting facts about Moldova's capital with us, and gave numerous tips for the rest of our tour. The stories and anecdotes Natalia told kept our group of Dutch travelers interested for 2 hours straight. Her English and her tone of voice are pleasant to listen to, and she shows a genuine interest in each of her customers. In our case, that meant relating to a group of about 15, ageing from 30 to 80!In short, Natalia is a highly professional, experienced and knowledgeable guide as well as a very kind person, which is a priceless combination.
A good Experience in Moldova, Chisinau is a small city with very beautiful sites. I had a very charming young lady Natalia Cojuhari as my personal guide. She showed us the best of the city. Chisinau translated from the Archaic Romanian as the "new spring". We began with a tour of the city where she began to explain each site as we reach it. Natalia showed us many historical sites within the new city. We reach different sectors of the town and visited the Statue of Stefan cel Mare, Central Park, Cathedral's belfry, The Cathedral of Christ Nativity, Arch of triumph in Cathedral Park and The Presidential Palace.
During the tour with Natalia walked us across one of the main parks near the center of the city with lots of trees. Even with the new Architecture in Chisinau there is still some of the old historical buildings that are situated only in the center of the capital. We happen to go see many of them. Chisinau is also filled with a variety of restaurants, bars, and pubs which we visited and enjoy the time there. Towards the second day of our tour Natalia took us to the wine cellars Cricova which is the second largest wine cellar in Moldova, after Milestii Mici (largest in the world). It is a about 120 kilometers (75 mi) of labyrinthine of roadways versus MM's 200 kilometers (120 mi), tunnels have existed under Cricova since the 15th century, when limestone was dug out to help build Chisinau. They were converted into an underground wine emporium in the 1950s. In Cricova we experience the process of their wine making. We also entered several wine rooms which were visited by many important people around the world. These wine rooms are so amazingly beautiful each one different and unique. I really felt that I was treated very special by all the staff there. We met some interesting and wonderful individuals each from a different part of the world. My trip To Moldova was truly a great experience. I can say more for our wonderful guide which at each moment was greatly informative and made my our trip a wonderful experience. I would definitely will go back again and will call upon our wonderful guide Natalia Cojuhari….Until next time Moldova.
Thank you!!
I was born in Romania many years ago, and more recently participated in two Art and Cultural tours of Romania organized by Cultural Romtour.
Mr. Razvan Balint was our local guide on both occasions. I was impressed with his incisive knowledge of Romanian history, culture and politics from the past to the present. He was friendly and approachable . With his local knowledge along the tour route, he was quickly able to adapt to special requests, changes and opportunities along the way.
I have no hesitation in recommending him as a tour leader in Romania.
"I cannot thank Victoria enough to show me around Romania when I was there in September 2013.
Romania is a fantastic and underrated destination for travellers.
The country is just so beautiful with its rolling countryside, friendly people and many UNESCO World Heritage sites.
The best way to do Romania is by private tours, and I highly recommend Cultural Romtour.
I spent 6 days with them to get a general feel of the country, I am still planning to come back sometime soon to do their Gypsy Trip Romania and Moldova.
This country is one of my most exotic destinations to date and the tours by Cultural Romtour one of the best I have experienced."
I've been as a guest on a tour to Romania and Moldavia with Cultural Romtour. Focus of the tour was – besides the great sights of both countries – to taste the local wines and food – delicious! It was my fist trip to Romania and Moldavia and it was very inspiring to me. Cultural Romtour had organized the whole trip at it's best and the both guides Victoria and Razvan did a great job showing us the beauty of the countries, arranged interesting encounters to the local people and always surprised us with special things, such as dinner with monks in their refectory, lunch at a gypsy's home or a enthusiastic concert of a gypsy brass band. I could name many other things … It was a splendid tour, very good hotels and accommodations at interesting places, super organized – perfect!
"The trip was both fun and educational. Not only did I learn about the wines, but about the countries as well. Romania and the Republic of Moldova are definitely countries that more people should experience. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of the Romanian and Moldavian wines, got amazed also by the diversity of the wines and the regions they come from.
The service provided by Cultural Romtour was outstanding. The little extra's they added to the tour made all the difference and our tour guide Victoria was the best!
The highlight for me was the Vinia Winery. The trip by horse cart to the vineyard, picking out own grapes, making our own juice, enjoying the tranquility of the land and listening to the gypsy band was an experience of a lifetime"
"I somehow always believed it would be an experience for all of us and thanks to you and your attention to details it proved to be even better than I expected. It certainly helped to dispel many of the fears and apprehensions one tends to build up on account of the bad press and undeserved bad publicity that Romania seems to attract from various quarters. You made us feel at home and very welcome. We shared wine and cheese and corn and berries and sunflower seeds and were continuously being treated to little and not so little extra presents and mementoes to make our visit more memorable."
Maurice Falzon (Malta)
"Our cooperation with Razvan Balint and his companies Cultural Romtour and Ways Travel started in early autumn 2007.
We were then interested in building completely new market in Romania for our travel books www.metaneira.com .
This was a very complex task for our management.
Not only did Mr. Balint pay attention to my market requests and advise me of my various sale options, but it goes without saying that he is extremely well-versed in the sector of cultural tours. Every time I would pose a question to him regarding my options, he immediately had the answer for me. He did "his homework", so to speak, and I knew that he looked into my queries with my best interests in mind. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I am simply astounded by the knowledge, professionalism, efficiency and overall excellent customer service – with a "personal touch" – provided by him and his staff, and by Ms. Victoria Odobescu in particular.
Since then, during my brief e-mail conversations with several members of Mr Balint´s staff, I have always been greeted with politeness and professionalism. The person who has looked after my travel plans for the "Wine Tour in Moldova and Romania", in October 2008, is Ms. Odobescu. I have done a lot of travel so far in my 48 years; on occasion I have booked directly with the airline, and other times with various other travel agencies. I can honestly say that never, ever, have I encountered such exceptionally good service as those provided by her. Especially these days, as we live in an age of computerized service where we are often treated like a number, first-class service is hard to come by.
I wanted to bring this to the attention of Mr Tapani Hynynen, and, with the occasion, to thank you, Razvan, very much. I have already recommended your services to my family members, several of my friends as well as some of my business associates, and I will continue to do so.

Establishing an International Center of Excellence for Terminology: Research, Technologies and Services
With the start of 2010 TermNet embarked on a new mission. For the coming three years until 2013 the network – with financial support by the Austrian National Foundation for Research, Technology and Development (Nationalstiftung für Forschung, Technologie und Entwicklung) - will establish an International Center of Excellence for Terminology.
Through research-based development of new technologies and services TermNet will address specifically and systematically those industry clusters which have a particularly high demand for terminology management: the automotive industry, mechatronics, and information and communication technology (ICT). These three sectors have been selected as focal areas of this project. They include transport in general, air- and space technologies, and electrotechnical industries. Their potential affinity to terminology results from the high complexity of processes, parts and components and tools. These sectors are also subject to globalization as few others. Hence, aspects of quality assurance in technical documentation, translation and localization as well as product classification are very important for them. The new centre ExcellenceTerm will develop trainings, certification schemes, and a network of professionals and specialists in the field.
The project will concentrate on two regions: Europe and North America. TermNet will coordinate activities from its old headquarters in Vienna as well as a new branch office in Canada. From there, it is planned that terminology-related activities and projects will be coordinated that will reach beyond the northern hemisphere and target Central and South America as well. TermNet Americas will establish a close network of partners and members who work with the aim of developing, facilitating and promoting the terminology market in the entire region.

Amalgam is a combination of metals that has been the most popular and effective filling material used in dentistry for the last 150 years. Although it sometimes is called "silver amalgam," amalgam actually consists of a combination of metals. These include silver, mercury, tin and copper. Small amounts of zinc, indium or palladium also may be used.

It's definitely not your typical wedding cake - but so fun and meaningful for the couple. The Canadian bride pretended that they were cutting out the wedding cake to save money - then surprised the Brazilian groom with this waterfall cake.
There were lots of little birds and the mico monkey which is found in Brazil. The bride told me that he loved the entire 3-tier lemon butter cake. He even ate that little monkey and they also ate each other's flags... I'm not going to touch that one... :-)

ZAGREB, September 13, 2019 – The Croatian National Theatre (HNK) in Zagreb is launching its new season with four of the best plays by the St. Petersburg theatre as part of the St. Petersburg International Theatre Season Festival which opens on Thursday with a play entitled "Taras" based on Nikolai Gogol's novel "Taras Bulba".
HNK director Dubravka Vrgoč said that this is a unique opportunity for Croatia's public to see what the theatre in that significant Russian city is like and for Russian to be heard in Zagreb's HNK and to see the current trends in Russian theatre.
"We are happy that we can launch the season with a festival, an unusual event because it represents the best of the best from the St. Petersburg theatre season," Vrgoč told a press conference.
The festival's art director Victor Minkov considers that such good cooperation as the one between the HNK and St. Petersburg is rare and that this, the 13th season, presents productions that that city can be proud of.
Russia's ambassador to Croatia Anvar Azimov said that this is yet another page in the development of Russian-Croatian relations and that he is convinced that visitors will enjoy the programmes that have been prepared.
More theatre news can be found in the Lifestyle section.

I've been reading about what leaders in the Bible "did for a living".
There were lots of shepherds (I guess if you can lead sheep you can lead people), some kings, (a hard job to find in 2007), some farmers, and a quite a few fishermen. Jesus was a carpenter. The only other leader I could find that worked "in construction" was the Apostle Paul…he was a tent maker…Does that count? I've been wondering about how God has used my 10+ years as a painting contractor (yup, that's a "self portrait" of my hand)to prepare me to start a church…I've actually come up with several ways…
- Preparation is "everything"- The main difference between a "pro" painter and someone doing a "weekend project" is the amount of time the professional will spend taping and prepping. I think this has helped me develop the patience necessary to spend a year preparing the systems necessary to start a church… before having our first meeting.
- Two "coats" are better than one- It always turns out better in painting to put on multiple light coats of paint than one thick, "globby","runny" mess of a heavy coat. I have learned to be willing to "come back". I think this shows up in our Sunday Morning planning. I would much rather have a short, "impactful" message that people can remember and hopefully be intrigued enough to want another "coat"-than try to tell people "everything I know" while I "have them here"! We value Transformation over Information!
- Use the best equipment and methods available! Over the last 10 years I have used countless methods and types of equipment…all in the quest to be as efficient and effective as I could as a painter. Although the "job" is the same I have never stopped searching for a better way to do things…I definitely want to bring that "culture" to actionchurch. I don't want to ever stop finding new and more effective ways, better methods, and new "equipment" to "make Jesus famous"in York County!
- It's about serving people…I used to believe the most important thing to do as painting contractor was to be "good at painting". Then I noticed that there were a lot of guys who were technically proficient at painting that could not seem to stay in business… I learned that the "most important thing" for me to do was serve the people I was working for. I needed to be more concerned about their "business" and deadlines than my schedule. In my experience the "church business" is very much the same. To be successful, it's not enough to just "have church" and expect people to be served… We must constantly evaluate whether we are actually serving the community. If we do truly serve others…In my experience we will have as many "customers" as we can "handle".
How has God used your "job" to prepare you for the future?

Fox Twists Scientific Research To Announce A "Mini Ice Age" -- Again
Scientists at the National Solar Observatory and the Air Force Research Laboratory say three lines of evidence suggest that the sun may soon enter an extended calm period instead of following its normal 11-year cycle of high and low sunspot activity.
The authors of the studies reportedly "said there was not yet enough data to firm up a climate connection to solar activity" and that they don't know how long the calm period would last. Nevertheless, Fox used the research to proclaim that "We Might Be Headed for a Mini Ice Age":
Other media outlets jumped on the research as well. In a post at at the Telegraph, James Delingpole wrote: "It's official: a new Ice Age is on its way," claiming that the recent findings "make global cooling a much more plausible prospect in the next few decades than global warming."
And under the headline "Earth May Be Headed for Big Chill From Little Ice Age," Newsmax declared: "The Earth could be heading straight for a little ice age -- and not a global warming phase as dictated by Al Gore and others -- posits the U.S. National Solar Observatory (NSO) and the U.S. Air force Research Laboratory."
In fact, solar physicist Frank Hill, who was involved in the research, explained via email that those warning of a mini ice age are making a "huge leap" from current scientific understanding of the variables involved:
We are NOT predicting a mini-ice age. We are predicting the behavior of the solar cycle. In my opinion, it is a huge leap from that to an abrupt global cooling, since the connections between solar activity and climate are still very poorly understood. My understanding is that current calculations suggest only a 0.3 degree C decrease from a Maunder-like minimum, too small for an ice age.
Bill Livingston, an astronomist who also contributed to the research said in an email that while the solar conditions "could counter 'global warming' somewhat," he "would not say we are predicting a mini-ice age."
The Maunder Minimum to which Hill referred is a previous 70-year period of solar inactivity, which coincided with the "Little Ice Age." During that time, "Europe and North America experienced bitterly cold winters," as explained by The Economist, which also cautioned that "correlation is not causation."
Oddly enough, this is not the first time that conservative media outlets, including Fox News, have put the words "mini ice age" into the mouth of a scientist to downplay the long-term warming influence of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.

Good Times Today, Stupor TomorrowBy David N. Meyer
Threatening to throw someone off a yet to-be-completed skyscraper in a British gangster movie is to indulge in British noir neoclassicism at its finest. Like everything else in Britain, Brit noir has traditions to be observed, touchstones to be honored.

Theres little point in citing all the different genres, plots, or wildly varying locations of Michael Powells films. His subject matterwhether B/W depictions of WWII pilots or bomb disposal experts or the sweetest adult love story youll ever see, or saturated 3-strip Technicolor depictions of Arabian Nights fairy tales, nuns in the Himalayas, English comic characters come to life, ballerinas casting love and life aside for art, or a serial killer murdering with a movie cameraactually remains constant.

The premise of Nintendo's ARMS is an exercise in minimalism: one day, a bunch of people woke up with springs where their arms used to be, which led to the creation of a boxing league for the spring-armed. That's all. The game thus subscribes to a deterministic theory of athleticism, as its fighters, rather than working and training hard, are able to compete simply because they were granted the tools to do so. But a great deal of the game's charm stems from the fact that its athletic determinism doesn't lie along racial or gendered lines. There are four female fighters, at least two of whom are women of color. (Race in the game is ambiguous; it's unclear if Mechanica, for example, is white, Asian, both or neither.) You can also play as non-humans, like Helix, a blob of DNA, and Byte and Barq, a robotic police officer and dog duo. Master Mummy, an undead competitor, is the ultimate testament to the potential of sports to transcend everything, not merely gender and race (and species), but even life and death.
The reception that one character in particular has received, however, complicates ARMS's utopian vision of sports. Twintelle, a woman of color, has punching-springs not in her arms, but in her hair. Given how loaded of a topic natural hair is, Nintendo's choice to weaponize the hair of a woman of color has prompted mixed reactions, with some arguing against her design, and others defending it.
Surely, though, there's value in portraying a woman of color whose hair, rather than fueling stigma and discrimination, is a wellspring of power. Positive socio-cultural representations in videogames can be empowering. But in the context of fighting games, rare are occurrences like the developers of Killer Instinct overhauling the wardrobe of Thunder, a Nez Perce character, with the help of Nez Perce consultants and archives. More common are characters like Street Fighter's Dhalsim, who draws on multiple stereotypes as a turban-clad Indian yogi. This is not to say that it's unacceptable to like Dhalsim—it's hard to resist a fire-breathing yoga master—but that it's worth questioning why characters of color can be so predictably designed. (Ryu, Street Fighter's frontman, was orphaned in Japan; maybe it's easier to create characters who defy physical stereotypes when their ancestry is uncertain, or when they originate from the same country as the developers.)
Gender is another front on which fighting game character design errs on the side of predictability. The women of ARMS are, for the most part, reasonably-clothed. But in many other fighting games, you wouldn't have to look far to find skimpy outfits wholly unconducive to punching and kicking and forming fireballs. Indeed, the general attitude toward dressing female fighting game characters seems to be quite crude. When Street Fighter V's Ryu received a shirtless and bearded variant costume, fans (sometimes thoughtfully) embraced it as "Hot Ryu." But for many of the game's female characters, like Laura and Cammy, baring flesh is the baseline. For them to show chests and midsections and legs is so normal as to be adjective-less, not "hot" but expected.
If videogames want their non-white-male characters to be predictable, so too do American sports want their non-white-male athletes to fit a certain mold. History has made undeniable that those who threaten the conservative politics that undergird American professional sports are either hounded or shunned. Contemporary examples include the gendered and racial treatment that the Williams sisters receive, and the fact that Colin Kaepernick remains a free agent. (There's a poetic irony to the term "free agent," in his case.) Kaepernick's experience has roots in the same forces that spawned All Lives Matter, the Trump presidency and myriad other reactionary movements. When it comes to history and politics, sports aren't transcendent: they're illuminating.
The conservative social politics of sports are apparent not only within game worlds—through, for instance, reductive character designs—but also in videogame-playing communities. While the professional fighting game community (FGC) is fairly diverse in regards to race, professional female- and queer-identifying players remain both rare and mistreated. Ricki Ortiz, a Street Fighter V player who is transgender, has praised the FGC's openness, but explained to BBC Three that with droves of online spectators comes an abundant supply of hateful comments about her gender identity. Of course, society at large is still far from totally welcoming of non-cisgender people. Videogame-playing communities are not uniquely abominable. But the issue at play, here, is that focusing solely on the content within games belies the troubling social politics that pervade the ever-expanding professional scenes around them.
Consider one of the behemoths of esports, albeit not a fighting game: Dota 2. The International 7, the latest iteration of the game's annual championship tournament, is currently underway with a prize pool of more than $23 million. The competition began with 18 teams in the running, totaling 106 players and coaches hailing from 28 countries. That's an impressive array of backgrounds, to be sure. But not a single player or coach is a woman; not a single one is from the African continent; not a single one is black. The teams themselves are relatively diverse, in terms of nationality—there are five on which all five players are from different countries—but the esport more broadly seems to be closed-off to broad swaths of the world's population. (In that sense, Dota 2 resembles countless other products of American corporations.)
Perhaps progressive social change can extend outward, from inside of games to the world around them. If so, ARMS has taken a step in the right direction with much of its roster. But the game stumbles, too. According to its lore, ARMS's most powerful fighter is Max Brass, a macho white man. He's the ARMS League's commissioner and the defending champion of its Grand Prix, and anyone trying to win his title must first defeat him. But when you play through the Grand Prix as Brass, there's no alternate defending champion: you fight another Max Brass. Brass, then, is a reminder that despite whatever semblance of egalitarianism sports project, the truest power continues to rest in the same white, male, reactionary hands that have always held it.
Maybe you win as Twintelle, and avenge something timeless and bloody. But next time you boot the game up, when you enter the Grand Prix anew, Twintelle won't be the defending champion. It'll still be Max Brass—and it's tough to shake the feeling that it always will be.

It's midweek, and #WIPItUp time! With Goldie's Surrender just about to release, my attention is turning back to my naughty Vikings. In this scene, we find Anders and Aurelie reminiscing about where their romance first blossomed…
The feast commences, and we are offered plate after plate of meats and breads, plus other local delicacies. I do not have much of an appetite, but I manage a little and join the men in a glass of deep red wine. I glance around me as the meal continues, taking in the sights and scents of the scene. I am reminded of the merriment which had taken place in the Viking camp when I was little more than Anders' latest conquest. Then, after my public punishment, and humiliation, he had ordered his men to bind me naked at his feet whilst he gorged himself with his men. I shift in my seat at the memory, rightly disgusted at my past treatment, and yet, also undeniably aroused at the thought of it.
I have never understood my body's response to Anders' alpha male display of authority, and yet even now the recollection of my degradation at his hands makes me hot and wet. I inhale deeply, trying to calm myself, and as though he can read my mind, he leans into my right ear.
"What is it, my love?" he murmurs as he chews on a hunk of freshly baked bread. "You seem agitated – are you well?"
I can already feel the heat of the blush which engulfs my face at his query, and his eyes widen in acknowledgement. "I was only thinking of the last feast we attended together," I whisper. "At your camp outside Donrose. Do you recall?"
His smile is salacious at he answers me. "I do," he purrs, eyeing my flaming cheeks. "As I remember, you were in bondage at my feet, My Lady?" His brow cocks at the suggestion, and heat gathers at my core.
"Yes, "I murmur, barely able to take a breath. "I was…"
His grin widens. "And now you are here at my side, Aurelie. Which do you prefer, I wonder?"
I lower my eyes at the intensity of the question, swallowing back my embarrassment before I can answer. "I much prefer my place here," I whisper. "Though I do miss the bondage, My Lofðungr, and your discipline."
My blush increases at the admission, and he chuckles at my honesty. "Those issues can easily be rectified, my sweeting," he replies, lifting my right hand and kissing my knuckles. His hot breath dances over my flesh, and I find I am panting in response, quite unable to answer him.
Anders and Aurelie will return later in 2018 – watch this space for more news and hot snippets!
Don't forget to check out the other great blogs in this week's blog hop.
Join me this Saturday, 3rd February to celebrate the release of Goldie's Surrender, at my readers group, Fierce AF!
They'll be over $20 worth of prizes on offer, including gift cards and e-books, so come along and play (2-4 EST/ 7-9 GMT).

text: JOEL GIBEROVITCH, from Upstairs: "Running a jazz club is not a job, it is a lifestyle." Nicolas Pelletier 2015/10/26 Information (English), Music Business Among the most passionate people about music are those who work in the music industry: at labels, as press relation people, as concert promoters, as booking agents, as managers, as music critics, and so on. RREVERB proposes to its readers a series of interviews with passionate music artisans. Today, we meet… JOEL GIBEROVITCH What's your name, what's your role in the company you are presently working at, and since when are you working there? Where are you from and where do you live now? My name is Joel Giberovitch, I am the owner and artistic director at the Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill. I have been working at Upstairs since April 11th, 1995. We are celebrating our 20th anniversary with special programmation from November 12th to 22nd. When have you started to work in the music business? I started to work in the music industry when I entered the doors of Upstairs in 1995. I was 23 years old when I started. How were the first years of the business? For the first 7 years of working at Upstairs I was a waiter. I made my living through earning tips. It wasn't until the age of 30, when I stopped waitering, that I realized that this is what I wanted to do with my life. I wasn't sure if I could support a future family in doing it though. After our 10 year anniversary and the purchase of our Yamaha C3 piano, things started to fall into place. Which are your favorite concerts among the many you've seen? I have been lucky to see so many beautiful concerts here. There are so many favourites for many different reasons. One that deeply touched me was Tom Harrell. The tone of his trumpet is so beautiful and his music moved me. Have you ever been a musician? Tell us about your career. I do not play an instrument. When I first began, Upstairs was located in the Concordia ghetto and catered mostly to students. We had chess and backgammon sets as well as a pianist who would perform solo and sing. It wasn't until a few years later that I went to New York and visited many Jazz Clubs there and got inspired. I was very impressed with the Village Vanguard, Sweet Basil's, Bradley's and Smalls. They were each Jazz clubs where the musicians were respected and took center stage. It is then that I came back to Montreal and wanted to create a club where the music was respected and not background music. My goal was to give Montreal a concert hall, in a jazz club setting. A few years later, Juan Barros, who became our chef, joined our team and had the same passion for the food as I had for the music. He developed a menu which stood on its own. We wanted the food to be great and the music to be independently great as well. This is really when our full concept was born and we have been working for 20 years now on operating and growing it. We both love what we do and as we say, running a jazz club is not a job, it is a lifestyle. ABOUT THE MUSIC BUSINESS Do you live from it? The Upstairs concept is multi layered and our revenues are spread out between tickets sales, food and alcohol sales. We are also open for lunch during weekdays. This allows us to be more balanced and diversified as a business. Is it still possible to make a living with music today? What do you need to do to make ends meet? We are fortunate that we are successful at what we do. I consider myself lucky, in that I love what I do. It took us many years before we broke even and now Upstairs is a healthy business. I think there is no secret to success. It takes a blend of hard work, passion, intelligent choices and the ability to learn from your mistakes and you're on your way. Who did you meet in your musical path that was key to your development / success? Brian Hurley, a great Montreal bassist, was instrumental in showing me the possibility of booking international artists. Brian was instrumental in helping us book international artists, and have them perform with local musicians. Jim West, the founder and owner of Justin time Records was also a key figure in my journey. He has been someone that throughout my career has been a great friend and advisor. One of my closest friends was the great Jazz historian and friend to Jazz musicians Len Dobbin (picture on the left). Len had made Upstairs his home and was very important and influential in our artistic development as a Jazz club. There are so many but André Menard, co-founder of The Montreal International Jazz Festival, has also been a great friend and supporter of the club. His decision to include us as a series during Jazz festival brought us credibility and exposure that we are grateful for. What do you like about your current position? We are constantly striving to be better and love what we do. We have been included in Downbeat's list of top Jazz clubs around the world and are on musician's lists of places to play. I like where we are! Vinyl, cassette, CD or digital? I love the feel of vinyl it in my hands and the sound of a record. I also love the graphics and pictures on an album. ON ARTISTS AND MUSIC What are your preferred music genres? I love Jazz music and listen to classical music as well. I also enjoy old school Rock n' Roll. On a desert island you bring those 5 albums (no more!) In no particular order: Herbie Hancock Head Hunters, Frank Sinatra In The Wee Small Hours, Dire Straits Brothers in Arms, Miles Davis Kind of Blue, Ella and Louis. Playlist! Who is the friendliest artist/music celebrity you've met? I would say artists in general are very friendly. The great thing about artists is that they want the chance to play and share their music. A close friend of mine is Ranee Lee. She is so generous with her music and such a pure and wonderful person. Who would you like to meet? What would you tell/ask them? I would have loved to meet Frank Sinatra. He is my favourite singer. I don't know what I would ask him, but I sure would enjoy listening to his stories. I would have loved to meet Bob Marley and Amy Winehouse as well. Thank you, Joel! Check out Upstairs' website for complete concert calendar… and menu!

Mobilized Peripheral Blood Leukopaks
Your source for quality fresh and cryopreserved human cells
Human Mobilized Peripheral Blood Leukopaks are collected from healthy IRB consented donors that are injected with Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF aka Neupogen®), Plerixafor (aka Mozobil®), or a combination of Plerixafor and G-CSF, which increases circulating leukocytes and stimulates the bone marrow to produce a large number of hematopoietic and progenitor stem cells and mobilizes these cells into the bloodstream, allowing for enriched CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from a single donor as compared to traditional Leukopaks. Collecting CD34+ stem cells from a single donor eliminates donor-to-donor variation, allows scalability of stem cell studies, and decreases same cell variability. Mobilized Leukopaks are ideal for stem cell studies relating to regenerative medicine, immunotherapy, and transplant therapy.
Popular Mobilized Peripheral Blood Leukopaks

CGT Global offers PBMCs and CD34+ stem cells mobilized with G-CSF, Plerixafor, and G-CSF plus plerixafor. The mechanism of action of these mobilization agents, and the combination of them, have been shown to change the expression profile, cell composition, and engraftment potential of the mobilized cells.1,2,3 Therefore, it is important to understand that switching mobilization reagents during a study may also change the mobilized cell type and their effect on studies relating to transplantation and stem cell research.

The nation's collective interest in starting businesses continues to break records. From 440,600 new business registrations in 2011 to 581,173 in 2014, there is no sign of the entrepreneurial revolution sweeping the nation slowing down. Indeed, in 2015 it's likely we will surpass 600,000 new company registrations.
But we can unlock even more. The RBS Enterprise Tracker – which tracked public attitudes to entrepreneurship for three years – consistently showed that while over a third (37%) of the population would like to start a business, only 6% are actually doing so. While nearly half (46%) of those who wish to start a business don't have an idea, 26% do but haven't done anything about it.
Enter the StartUp Britain bus. By partnering with RBS, StartUp Britain – the national enterprise campaign launched by the PM in 2011 – is hitting the road this summer to visit 25 towns and cities across Britain. We're wrapping the NatWest Mobile Business School with eye-catching branding and parking it in town squares to offer free mentoring, workshops and guidance to those wanting to start or grow a business.
In doing so, we aim to address some of the biggest barriers holding people back from starting businesses. Half of aspiring entrepreneurs don't think they can get enough money to start; a third think they need more skills; and a quarter think they need better networks. Despite the range of initiatives on offer at local and national levels, two thirds of the public don't know where to where to get business support.
On board, RBS business advisors will be joined by counterparts from Sage and the government-backed Start Up Loans Company – each offering complementary advice through one-on-one interactions and workshops, with the aim of supporting 15,000 aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs.

Michelle Tea loves words, and it shows. As one of the founders of San Francisco's brilliantly loopy poetry slam-cum-cabaret Sister Spit, the 28-year-old Tea's flair for whipping tales of life and love into hilarious dramalogues have made her a local favorite on the spoken-word scene, and her gleeful energy and tongue-twisty stylings come through just as loud on paper.
Her first book, The Passionate Mistakes and Intricate Corruption of One Girl in America (Semiotexte/Smart Art Press), was a collection of memoirs in short-story form whose sugared-up, often punctuation-free voice drew the reader into Tea's New England, careening from adolescent goth exploration to prostitution to desert-bound heartbreak in less than 200 pages. Her latest, Valencia (Seal Press), finds her chronicling a heart-churning, teeth-gnashing series of adventures in love, sex, friendship, and caffeine in San Francisco's Mission District, a world where dyke bars and communal apartments overflow with equal parts drama, angst, and crazy delight. Bitch caught up with the ever-traveling Michelle for an e-mail interview, and found that she had some choice words on inspiration, obsession, and the perils of using your short story as payback.
What are you doing this summer?
I'll be with Sister Spit at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival this August, reading as part of the Moving Targets series at New Langton Arts in San Francisco on August 24th, and hawking my new book Valencia at Bodecia's Books in Oakland on the 26th.
Your first book, The Passionate Mistakes and Intricate Corruption of One Girl in America, and the second book, Valencia, are both written in first-person narrative, in the voice of a character who is also named Michelle. Are we meant to take the character Michelle and the author Michelle as two different people?
No, the "Michelle" in the book is definitely me, though if it makes a reader more comfortable to imagine it's all a giant work of fiction, that's fine too.
Do you find that your friends/lovers are a little wary because there's always a chance they'll end up in one of your stories?
I've found that most people are kind of in love with the idea of being written about—initially anyway, before the reality of their lives via my perspective is put into print. My last girlfriend ordered me, as part of our break-up terms, not to write anything about her, ever. My current girlfriend really wants me to write about her, anything. Even awful things. She's shameless, it's really great. I think many of my friends have felt slighted when I don't write about them.
One girl I was trying to have an affair/friendship with didn't get close to me because she thought I was just trying to exploit her for writing material, which made me feel bad, but I guess I understand. Most people are more private about themselves then I am, but I hated her thinking that I was hanging out with her just so I could write about her. It's more like, I want to hang out with people who are interesting and intriguing, and of course I also want to write about people who are interesting and intriguing. It's all one to me, because it's my life.
When was the first time you considered yourself a writer? And what does the term mean to you?
I knew at a very, very young age that I wanted to write—I remember being like 6 or 7 and trying to write my life story. Not a lot had happened yet, so I didn't get very far. But I loved writing about troubled kids, and I once wrote a script for Facts of Life in which Jo gets the Go-Go's to perform at a school dance.
I love that I'm a writer, it means I'm in very good company. All my heroes are writers, and I'm honored to be among them. Eileen Myles, Dorothy Allison, Cookie Mueller—people that are honest and inspire others to document their own lives and take them seriously as works of living art.
How do you see your work evolving as time goes on?
The fact that I've been published means that now while I'm writing something I'm aware that it will probably be printed at some point. Which is really new for me—Passionate Mistakes and the bulk of Valencia were written as short stories to be read at open mics, so I was more concerned with how it sounded as oppossed to how they read on the page. So I'm more conscious of that, and the things I'm working on now reflect it. [I'm] being less rushed, taking more time with the way things are worded, being more lyrical and descriptive and not worrying that what I'm writing is perhaps too slow for a spoken word-type reading. Not that I want to lose that cadence, though.
What's the best thing about writing?
I am just so happy that I have found something that gives me pleasure and purpose and doesn't cost any money! It makes me feel free and gives a strange comfort to know that it's something I always have. The kind of writing I do, about my own experiences, can really redeem things that I've been through, things that were hard or stupid. I feel really lucky that I was born with this compulsion; I honestly think it makes my life easier.
What's the worst thing you've ever written about someone?
I once began a short story with a totally unnecessary slam against a girl who I and my current girlfriend had had an affair with, because this girl was a poet as well and had just read a really nasty piece about my very sensitive girlfriend at a show I'd invited her to be part of! I thought it was so rude and inappropriate for her to have read it there, plus it was a bunch of lies, which she later admitted. I was wanting revenge and feeling like, "Do not fuck with me in this department, missy, because I will destroy you!" All Joan Crawford about it because I knew the story would be published, and it was. I regret doing that, though; it was stupid and not me at my best, I like to think.
One of the segments in Valencia really hurt an ex-girlfriend who insists it's not true, and the more I think about it, I do think it's an amalgamation of my experience with her and things I heard from her subsequent girlfriends. So while it's not an outright lie, it wasn't my immediate truth, which is what I really try to stick to. But memory is weird sometimes. You think you're remembering something, but really you're remembering a story someone told you and somehow it registered in your brain as having happened to you.
What's your definition of obsession, and how does it figure in your own life?
I am very prone to obsession, which I adore—I think it's just part of my personality. I'm generally super enthusiastic and passionate about all my loves and hates, so anything or anyone I love I end up really loving, which is kind of obsessive. I like it, though; it's fun and makes life seem big and exciting. I'd rather be obsessive then chronically bored [or] jaded. Those are two kind of extreme ways to be, but I'd rather be extreme, too.
What's your favorite form of procrastination?
Doomed, emotionally fraught relationships vs. less dramatic but emotionally untroubled relationships: Which are more interesting, and why?
Oh god, I truly do not prefer emotionally fraught relationships. They may be more interesting to write about, but I don't even believe that's true. As long as you find a serious thrill-seeking troublemaker to shack up with, life will be filled with adventure. Good drama rather than bad drama. I mean, I want to keep things psychotically exciting, but not painful.
What are your plans for the future? Where do you see yourself in, say, 20 years?
I have no idea where I'll be in 20 years. Hopefully I'll continue to be inspired and grow as a writer and will have published some more books that I'm proud of. In the shorter term, I'm working on a cabaret tour of the U.S. this fall called The Wasted Motel Tour, working on working some parts of my books into screenplays, flirting with some possible anthologies and also perhaps organizing a queer lit festival. And hopefully starting a band: My friends all chipped in to buy me a drum set for my birthday last year, and it's been sitting in my bathroom collecting dust.
What have been the three most helpful things for you as a writer?
Judy Blume, Sylvia Plath, and Eileen Myles. Or, memory, experience, and honesty.

Thoughts are powerful. It's no secret that many successful people share similarities in their thought patterns. They hold values, and act in ways that help them to be successful and keep them on track. There are even books written on the this topic to help you learn about the ways that successful people think and help guide you towards thinking like a successful person.
If you are looking to become more successful you may find yourself wondering how successful people think. This article will explore the key ways that successful people think and give you tips on how to apply this to your own life and personal success in your career or business.
Our Top 10 Thoughts Of Successful People
Although there are many things that successful people do on a daily basis, this list is a compilation of some of the most useful ways of thinking that you can apply to your own life today. Changing our thoughts takes time and practice.
- They have confidence – Successful people take time to reflect on their own thoughts. They understand themselves and allow themselves to acknowledge their weaknesses while fully embracing their strengths. They know what they are good at and don't dwell on what they can't do. Successful people move through life with a can-do attitude and are confident.
- They accept change – Successful people are willing to admit when something is no longer working for them. They don't get stuck repeating the same failure over and over. They embrace that there are different (or better) ways to do things and get down to the task of making things better.
- They see failure as a chance to grow – They accept failure with open arms and understand that it is part of the process. They learn from their mistakes and don't consider failure and defeat to be one in the same.
- They make time – You won't find successful people complaining that they would love to do something but "don't have time". Successful people make their success happen by making their success a priority. You won't find them binge watching late into the night but you might just find them waking up before dawn to schedule in some precious interruption free work time.
- They don't rely on others – They know that their success depends on them. They don't believe that other people have power over their own success. You won't hear them say things like "I'd do better in my career if only my boss liked me". They know they themselves hold the power to shape their success.
- They focus on the future – Like anyone, successful people have experienced failure. But they don't let past failure hold them back from being successful in the future. They adopt a growth mindset and don't allow past mistakes to define their future. They know that they can only control what they are doing today and make that their focus.
- They set goals – Successful people set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achieveable,Realistic, Time sensitive) goals and schedule regular check-ins with themselves to ensure they are meeting their goals. Their goals are clear and their set out a plan to achieve them. They are always ensuring that the decisions they make today will help them to achieve their goals for the future.
- They ask for help – Successful people aren't afraid to ask for outside opinions on their personal projects. They know that collaborative work can improve a project and that they don't always no best. The go to the experts when they need help and work towards their goal by allowing for input from others.
- They follow through – If they say they are going to do something they do it. Their word is non negotiable not only to the people they work with but also to themselves. Although they make room for change and failure they will follow through with their plans unit they come to their natural conclusion.
- They don't act like everyone else – They are their authentic selves and they don't feel pressured to act like everyone else. They follow their own belief systems and put their unique gifts to work. They don't worry about what everyone else is thinking about them. They are goal driven and not concerned with others opinions of themselves.
How Can I think Like a Successful Person?
Now that you have learned about some of the ways successful people think you may be wondering how you can apply this to your own life. As we already noted it isn't easy to change our thoughts overnight and it takes time and practice. The good news is that we can change our thoughts. Our thoughts influence how we see the world and how we act within in and it is crucial to our success that we hold a positive and productive outlook towards our goals.
A simple way to start changing the way you think and to think like a successful person is to take their though habits and turn them into affirmations. Think to yourself "I follow through" or "I have time". By affirming these thoughts, you shape your mind and your perception of your own success. Positive Psychology Program offers some great insight into why affirmations are so important to our success.
If you have difficulty turning your thoughts around, it may be helpful to contact a life coach to help you get unstuck. They can help you to determine the source of your negative thoughts and help you make positive breakthroughs in your career, personal life, or business.
Keep It Positive
Remember that successful thinkers are always looking for the positive ways to move forward with their goals. Don't dwell on the past. Focus on turning your failures into learning experiences and embrace that they are part of the journey itself.
Successful people aren't inherently smarter than other people but they do adopt a mindset that allows them to make their most of their unique abilities. Know that you too have gifts to share and that you are capable of shaping your own success.

A shed which used to house greyhounds was donated and converted for office space, hence the name Doghouse. The anthology, Heart of Kerry, was launched in January 2004 and after announcing that "manuscripts were welcome" the floodgates opened
To celebrate the anniversary Doghouse has compiled an anthology of new work by twenty nine poets published over the last ten years and entitled it Ten Years in the Doghouse. I'm delighted to have three poems included.

I must not have mentioned the dreaded banjo often enough lately. I notice it's totally gone from my tag cloud. I guess that's how I know the darn cloud tag is working.
So this is my banjo post of the day. Here is my favorite very local banjo player. You can hear him play a few tunes, scruggs style, and decide for yourself if he's worthy of that honor. (he is).
Also, for your enjoyment my favorite not so local banjo player. To be fair, he used to live in Michigan, but he's in Nashville now. Not so local is probably "Michigan", but what the heck.
I have two other favorite players, more on the national scene. The first is Kristin Scott Benson. We became aware of Kristin's playing when she was still a student at Belmont in Nashville, and touring with Larry Stephenson. She since graduated, married, had a baby, and continues to play, and play very well. I wish we saw her playing more often.
The second, and that's not really right, he'll always be first, is Earl. No Earl, no roll. It's as simple as that. Watch a little of him here.
Banjo, banjo, banjo.

Moonrats are related to hedgehogs and are one of the largest insectivores. Females tend to be larger than males, but both sexes are otherwise similar in appearance, with narrow bodies, long snouts, an unkempt appearance and coarse black fur with white markings on their heads. Their exceptionally narrow bodies allow the creatures to search for prey in tight spaces. Moonrats are nocturnal, and during the day they sleep in protected spots, such as hollow logs, under tree roots or in holes. At night they search through the leaf litter for small prey.
Moonrats have long, hairless and scaly tails up to 30 cm (12 in) long.
Moonrats usually live close to water and sometimes swim in streams in search of fish, frogs, crustaceans and other aquatic prey. Some fruit, and fish and crabs too, may be eaten. They sometimes carry parts of their prey to their resting sites, to be eaten later. Moonrats are solitary animals and except during mating, they do not tolerate each other's presence. They mark out their territories with strong-smelling scents to warn off intruders. Moonrats often respond to encounters by making hissing noises and low roars.
Distribution: South-east Asia.
Habitat: Lowland forests, plantations, mangroves and agricultural land.
Food: Worms and other leaf litter invertebrates, fish, amphibians and aquatic invertebrates.
Size: 26 - 46 cm (13 - 23 in); 0.5 - 2 kg (1.1 - 4.4 lb).
Maturity: 1 year.
Breeding: 2 litters of twins born every year.
Life span: 4 years.
Status: Common.
Mindanao Moonrat
Range: Philippines: Mindanao.
Habitat: Upland forest and forest edge, from 5,250 to 7,500 ft (1,600 - 2,300 m).
Size: Body: 5 - 6 in (13 - 15 cm); Tail: 1.5 - 2.75 in (4 - 7 cm).
This curious creature is restricted to a small natural range and has never been common. Now, because of logging operations and slash-and-burn agriculture, much of its habitat is being destroyed and its survival is seriously threatened. It has long soft fur and a tail with more hairs than that of Echinosorex. It feeds on insects, worms and even carrion, which it finds in grasses and among stands of moss. Nothing is known of the breeding habits of the Mindanao moonrats.

Hefty bonds were placed against two alleged New York drug traffickers yesterday in Steubenville Municipal Court.
Video evidence from a local car wash and controlled buys were used to pinpoint Elijah Ross and Brandi Harris in this case. Upon searching the residence they had been staying in, two guns were found — one of which was stolen out of Brooke County.
The defense argued this was not Ross' permanent residence.
The prosecution pointed toward the video, where Harris had allegedly stuffed drugs into her pants upon their arrest. They were later discovered.
Mascio placed $500,000 bond on both suspects because of the amount of drugs involved.
The case has been bound over to the grand jury.

Kate Middleton's Trooping of the Colour Style Just Keeps Getting Better
Every June, the British celebrate the Trooping of the Colour. While this event is in honor of Queen Elizabeth's birthday (which is actually in April, though the festivities are held a little later to take advantage of the nicer weather), it's Kate Middleton and her dazzling style that have absolutely stolen the show. And now that she's given birth to an adorable trio of little ones, Kate and her family are truly the reason we pay attention on the big day.
We don't really have a comparable event in America, which is probably why we love tuning in to the Trooping of the Colour. This tradition gives us an excuse to marvel at all the pomp and circumstance, and most importantly, to gawk at the impressive fashion and fascinators on display. One of our favorite royals to watch is the Duchess of Cambridge. Since the big royal wedding in 2011, Kate Middleton has waved from the balcony at Buckingham Palace and graced millions with her timeless style, which is sometimes very reminiscent of the beloved Princess Diana's.
Kate gives us a peek into her seemingly endless wardrobe, always dazzling the press with what she's wearing that day. However, the Trooping of the Colour is different. Why? Because it means we're guaranteed a glimpse of her two little cherubs, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who may we just say are already two little fashion trendsetters. Prince Louis has yet to make his Trooping of the Colour debut, but there's always next year!
As you scroll through, you'll notice that poor Prince William doesn't seem to have much of a choice when it comes to dressing for the day. Fortunately, Kate's fashion-forward choices and impressive hats and fascinators prove to be eye-catching enough for the both of them.
Check out Kate's outfits at every Trooping of the Colour, and don't miss Prince George's and Princess Charlotte's balcony debuts.

Kate Middleton Trooping Of The Colour 2018 Prince George Princess Charlotte2018 Just weeks after Kate gave birth to her third child, Prince Louis, she was back in royal form at the 2018 Trooping of the Colour festivities. The Duchess of Cambridge opted for another eye-catching pastel outfit, this one designed by Alexander McQueen (a favorite of Kate's). Meanwhile, Juliette Botterill crafted Kate's matching fascinator.
Kate Middleton Trooping Of The ColourThough a lot of the attention surrounding this year's festivities centered around Meghan Markle's Trooping of the Colour debut and her royal-protocol-breaking off-the-shoulder gown, not enough attention has been paid to just how stunning the Duchess of Cambridge looked. The royal may have just given birth, but one thing's for sure: The Kate Middleton diet works — she's already got her pre-baby body back! That said, this may be the last time we see Kate for quite awhile. Protocol dictates that royal mothers take off six months after giving birth. It wouldn't be right for Kate to miss the Trooping of the Colour because it's when the nation officially celebrates Queen Elizabeth's birthday. However, she has no other upcoming events on her calendar that are can't-miss. Going forward, it will be up to the duchess to "pick and choose her engagements," royal biographer Duncan Larcombe said.
Kate Middleton style Trooping of the Colour 2017 Family2017 Just weeks after aunt Pippa's wedding, Prince George and Princess Charlotte made another public appearance and totally stole the show. Charlotte looked adorably fascinated by the whole ordeal while Prince George cracked a rare ear-to-ear grin.
Kate Middleton Style Trooping of the Colour 20172017 Kate looked vibrant in another Alexander McQueen dress. The bright and bold pink hue coordinated perfectly with the lovely summer weather.
Kate Middleton Style Trooping of the Colour 20162016 Just when you thought the royal family couldn't get any more perfect, Prince William and Kate welcomed Princess Charlotte. Kate sported the same ivory coat she wore to her daughter's christening, and she adorned her head with a Philip Treacy hat. Little Charlotte looked angelic in a baby pink Rachel Riley dress.
Kate Middleton Style Trooping of the Colour 20152015 Kate wore a blue and white floral dress from Catherine Walker in 2015. Her hat was made by Lock and Co.
Prince George Trooping of the Colour 2015While Kate's outfit was absolutely stunning, all attention was on young Prince George. The mini royal made his Trooping of the Colour debut for real this time (Kate was pregnant with George during 2013's Trooping of the Colour), and he looks so cute we don't mind that we had to wait so long to see him.
Kate Middleton Style Trooping of the Colour 20142014 For her fourth Trooping the Colour appearance, she wore another Alexander McQueen design. Her hat was made by milliner Jane Taylor.
Kate Middleton Style Trooping of the Colour 20132013 Prince George made his Trooping of the Colour debut (sort of!) when a pregnant Kate stepped out for the year's festivities. In photos, you can see Kate's cute baby bump. Continuing her monochrome looks, she went for a light pink Alexander McQueen dress and matching hat.
Kate Middleton Style Trooping of the Colour 20122012 To her second Trooping of the Colour, Kate wore a light blue Erdem dress. In 2012, she accessorized with a very interesting Jane Corbett hat.
Kate Middleton Style Trooping of the Colour 20112011 The newly married royal couple made their Trooping of the Colour debut in 2011, just weeks after their April wedding. Kate was already beginning to show off her chic style in a black hat and ivory jacket.
