Meet Kareen Waris aka Waspa: 11-year-old kid with a tremendous drawing talent
I think the title says it all basically! Meet Kareen Waris who is also known as Waspa that is currently living in Lagos, Nigeria. What is particular is that he is super talented artist and at only age of 11-years-old. Kareen started drawing at the age of 6 and his drawings are generally focused on portraits as we would call it: "hyperrealistic". If you pay close attention, his drawings almost feel like a photograph. We had to feature his work on ABDZ, and we think he is the youngest artist we have ever featured. That's very unique and impressive! Meet Kareen Waris I want to use this medium to say a BIG THANK YOU to those who have been supporting me in every areas. Special thanks to @oohiolei @osheoluwa @temmytadabalogun @splufiknigerians @splufiknigerians @tundeednut @officialarole @gtbank @waptvchannel @wazobiatvng @emma4impact @vivacityvegankitchen @farabaleafrica @arinze @ayowole_art @olodumare91 you are all part of my succeess Story.

Move the World Mural Drawings by Deck Two
Very cool project title for a mural drawing by Deck two who is an artist from Paris, France. Entitled: Move the World, we follow him on this absolute beautiful drawing showcasing the important landmarks of the World. It's quite stunning and I can't even imagine the level of patience it would take to work on this kind of project. Props to Thomas for his incredible dedication! One of my last mural project in Memphis, Tennessee. A huge 2,6 x 13 meters long panoramic view in the entrance of JKI offices. That mural embraces all the famous places in the world that the company has been reaching through the years. Long days of work to complete this freehand mural with just a couple of Molotow acrylic markers. I chose a small 2mm nib to get as much details as I could so the visitors could stare at the walls to discover all the hidden details. I hope you guys will like it too.

Super Realistic Pencil Drawings by Arinze Stanley
If you like super realistic drawings you have come to the right place. Take your time to admire the exquisite work of Nigerian artist Arinze Stanley. Arinze has some impressive hyperreal pencil drawings in his portfolio. The images look so perfect you will wonder if they are photos or not. At least I was so amazed with all the details and realism of the images that I had to stay focused on the fact that I was looking at drawings. His images look so soft and realistic, it is amazing. The artist works with graphite and charcoal pencils and creates huge portraits that take hours (around 150 to 200) to be completed. From beautiful hair to droplets of sweat and subtle light reflections, the portraits are pure perfection. It is nice to see the stages of each drawing Arinze publishes. This way you can keep track of the amazing work he creates while reminding yourself that you are looking at a pencil drawing. Check out the images we have here and make sure to visit his Instagram for more info about each piece. Enjoy! Arinze is a passionate Nigerian artist who is keen to capture and represent the essence of individual life forms and expressions through his drawings. More about Arinze Stanley: Instagram Facebook
Exquisite Colored Pencil drawings by Morgan Davidson
It is always great to find new artists out there to present here to you. Today I will show you some artworks from Morgan Davidson. Morgan is a talented illustrator from Florida which has been in love with drawing since a very young age. Her pieces are very colorful, detailed and realistic. Even with some strong colors her work is also very delicate. The way she uses colors and textures is really inspiring. Make sure to check her website and Behance page to know more about each artwork. Take a look! My work is mostly drawn in colored pencil, a medium I started working with when I was a child.

I also love mixing other mediums with my colored pencils, using bases such as watercolor, marker, oil rub or pan pastel and layering media on top like gouache, gel pen or acrylic.

Moody Illustrations by Elicia Edijanto
Since starting Abduzeedo I've come across an infinite number of inspiring illustrations varying in style. Colorful, 80s, 90s, 3D, you name it and we've probably published it and continue to find inspiration from incredible artists around the globe. To date, I have to say that the work that Elicia Edijanto shared on his Behance profile really deserves to be at the top of my list. It reminds me of the game Limbo because of the mood and aesthetics, however Elicia's work has far more texture and personality. One of the things that make the work shine in my opinion is the mix of techniques, drawing and painting with just some brush splatters. Add to that, an interesting combination of subjects, like the friendship of a boy and a bear or other animals and you have a beautiful and moody set of illustrations. For more information make sure to check out Elicia's page at https://www.behance.net/eliciaedijanto

Honoring Oscar de la Renta
This post is in honor of the late, great fashion designer Oscar de la Renta who passed on today. The Dominican Republic born de la Renta left an indelible mark on the world of fashion and beyond and his influence will carry over for decades and centuries to come. Having left his homeland for Spain to study painting at 18, de la Renta went on to hone his skills in fashion design later resulting in an incredibly successful enterprise carrying his namesake. His beautifully designed clothing has been worn by a vast array of distinguished women and celebrities alike. In this post, we've curated a selection of some of our favorite sketches in hopes to inspire the next generation of burgeoning fashion designers. It all begins with simple pen to paper. Vaya con Dios, Oscar!
Surreal Compositions by Redmer Hoekstra
I am a huge fan of surrealism, especially the unreal compositions mixing objects in ways that challenge our imagination. Redmer Hoekstra shared on his Behance page some incredible drawings exploring some of these ideas. Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for its visual artworks and writings. The aim was to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality." Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself and/or an idea/concept. - Wikipedia For more information and to check out Redmer's full portfolio visit http://www.redmerhoekstra.nl/

Interview with Sam Wolfe Connelly
Today we had the opportunity to interview a skillful young artist, Sam Wolfe Connelly. On this interview, Sam talked about some of his ideas and concepts on creativity, illustration and life. Hope you guys enjoy it. You can know more about Sam at his Website or at his Blog. 1) First of all I would like to thank you for doing this interview, it's an honor for us to present more about you to our readers. I would like to start asking you about when your interest for illustration and art? I've always been into art since I can remember. I started doing illustration though after I saw an illustration by Sam Weber on the cover of Communication Arts (the 2008 issue I think). It was a portrait of a bloody vampire and I was like 'whoa, this is illustration?' and from then on out, I knew what I wanted to major in at school. I think I was always under the impression that the category of 'illustration' had to be dull and mainstream, but I was inspired to see that I could make it my own. 2) Which artists do you use for reference? These days I really try not to look to hard at any other artist's work, alive or dead, simply because it seems really easy to slip into a state where my art doesn't feel like my own. I tend to look much more at photography as a form of inspiration, and my technique tends to branch off on its own from that. It helped me a lot in school to look closely at artists that I admired and to learn how they approached drawings, but it makes it easier on finding my 'style' by distancing myself from them now. 3) Your style is quite influenced by fine art, realistic and surrealistic paintings. How did you develop this style and how would you describe it? I hardly ever know what to describe my own stuff as. I've heard people say 'dream like' which I think is a little funny since I rarely dream at all. I like leaving some mystery in my work. I think a valuable thing to do is hide elements from your viewer, because too much of what I see today is so blatantly exposed, it gets boring fast. Anything somberly eerie really intrigues me, and I always try my best to stay true to what I really find fascinating. I think there comes a point where you, as an artist, need to create a visual language for yourself, and the only way you can, is if you pursue and draw what you truly love. For a while I felt like I had to look for a 'style' or look for a voice to shine through in my art, but that mindset only sets you farther away from what you really should be achieving. I just take a step back and ask myself 'what do I really want to express?' rather than 'what SHOULD I express?' 4) Describe us a bit about your creative process while creating a piece. First I'll figure out what I need to say, whether it be a job or a personal piece. I'll break it down into basic elements that I want to include and try and fit them into a nice composition using thumbnails. Sometimes I'll go through a couple, sometimes I'll got through 30. Once I figure out the blocking and shapes, I'll do a final sketch in actual size on newsprint and transfer it over to my final paper (which is usually either BFK Rives or Stonehenge). Then I'll do the actual drawing in graphite and bring it into photoshop and add some coloring. 5)What's the best thing about working with illustration and what is the worst? Best thing is getting paid to do what I love. The worst would most definitely be dealing with the certain clientele that act like they know what they want from a project, but wind up leading you through rounds and rounds of excellent ideas only to end up where you started. It's always a shame to see good ideas go to waste. 6) How do you describe your daily routine? I have pretty bad insomnia, so I'll tend to wake up around noon, make coffee, answer some emails, and sit down at the drawing table at around 1. From then on til about 3-4 am I'll work (with a few breaks thrown in for eating and reading). Then I'll pass out, wake up, and do it all again. 7) Which is your favorite piece so far? Usually it tends to be whatever I'm working on currently, and then immediately once I finish it, I'll hate it and never want to look on it again. BUT I guess I could say, for me, 'Harvest' seems to be the one that I enjoy the most as of now. The mood in that piece is really close to what I shoot for in all of my work and the drawing seems to speak well for itself. 8) Tell us five lessons you believe are really important for every illustrator. -Even when you're working for a client, you're working for yourself, so make your art appealing to you. In some cases you'll have to compromise, but it's a good mindset to start things off with. -You're bound to get a whole lot of rejection. Revel in it and use it to push your stuff further. -Be nice to people. -Know your own worth and don't sell yourself short. -Draw more. 9) Tell us some websites that you like to visit. I found this website with a lot of hi rez images of paintings which is really great for reference and looking at close details you cant find mush of on the internet: http://www.waterlili.es/ I also like to check out what Tor.com has every once in a while because you can find interesting gems like this: http://www.tor.com/features/series/a-is-for-artist Other than that, I mainly stick to what my tumblr feed dishes out. 10) Thanks again for your time, please leave a final message for the ones who are starting out on this kind of business. Sometimes it's hard to figure out where to start or where you want to head, but just remind yourself that as long as you're drawing or painting or making something, you're going somewhere and improving your skills. Make sure it's for you though, and no one else. Everyone makes art when they're little for their own enjoyment, so dont let the possibility of getting paid for it ruin that.

love story
The personal histories included in All There Is are compelling and powerful. Some are joyous celebrations of love and companionship, while others are stoic accounts of tragedy and perseverance. Despite their differences, each narrative is characterized by an overpowering sense of authenticity. The stories recorded in All There Is were not shared for personal gain or publicity. Rather, they were collected through the efforts of StoryCorps, an oral history project that allows any willing volunteer to record his or her most precious memories and experiences. The participants share the most essential aspects of their lives in interviews that are recorded for their personal archives and, in many cases, for the American Folklife Center.
Since its debut in 2003, the StoryCorps project has spread across the United States, recording over 40,000 interviews. As Dave Isay, StoryCorps' founder, states, "StoryCorps' mission is to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives. With a relentless focus on recording the stories of people who are often excluded from the historical record, StoryCorps captures lives that would otherwise be lost to history and reminds the nation that every story matters and every voice counts."
Just in time for Valentine's Day, here is Cupid, by Julius Lester. In this retelling from Greek mythology, we are introduced to Psyche. She is the daughter of a king and so beautiful that every time she walks outside people stopped and stared. They even stopped working. In fact, it was getting so bad that it was affecting the infrastructure of her community--and not in a good way. Her father, the king, felt it was in the best interest of his kingdom and his subjects to restrict Psyche from her daily walks. He decreed that she could only walk outside the castle gates once a month.
Word quickly reached Mount Olympus about the young beauty and the effect she was having on the other humans. Venus, the goddess of love, was not pleased at all when she learned of this young woman, She viewed her as a threat and decided to dispatch her son, Cupid, to do away with her. Never one to disappont his mother, Cupid quickly plans how he will get rid of this pesky human. However, when Cupid lays his eyes on Psyche, he is immediately stunned by her beauty, and he falls in love with her himself. He vows that she will become his wife, but he is reluctant to let his mother in on his little plan as she is a formidable force with which to be reckoned.
Are you're looking for an entertaining book to read? Are you also willing to briefly suspend reality--as in what are the chances that two main characters would randomly bump into each other…repeatedly. If you answered "Yes'" to both questions, then let me recommend 32 Candles. This first novel by Ernessa T. Carter will not leave you pondering the meaning of life, but I guarantee you won't be able to turn the pages fast enough.
Growing up in rural Glass, Mississippi, Davidia Jones lives with her mother Cora, who is both an alcoholic and a prostitute. With no father in the picture, Cora treats her daughter with constant cruelty and contempt. To compound her misery, Davidia is equally ridiculed at school for her plain face and hand-me-down clothing. One night with Cora on the town, Davidia stages an imaginary Tina Turner concert. Arriving home early, Cora brutally beats her daughter for wearing her high heels. Davidia chooses to stop talking…permanently. She maintains her mute state through middle and into high school.

The St. George Village Botanical Garden is a 16.5 acre garden which is planted among the restored buildings and ruins of an 18th and 19th century sugar cane plantation which also overlaps an Amerindian settlement which dates back to c.100 A.D.
The Garden's botanical collections feature over 1,000 varieties of plants that demonstrate the horticultural potential for the U.S. Virgin Islands, while also emphasizing the cultural and historical value of plants as a source of food, medicine, fiber, color dyes, and building material in the Caribbean.
Visitors enjoy a spectacular mix of history and natural beauty with a variety of themed garden areas set among the historic structures of the colonial era sugarcane plantation. The property is listed twice in the National Registry of Historic Sites for both the Amerindian archaeological site and the Danish colonial sugarcane plantation village.

The Great Real Wage Shock
This is kind of strange, given just how much real wages have gained. If you go to the Bureau of Labor statistics web page and look at the table "total average private hourly earnings, 1982 dollars", you can see that while real average hourly earnings were stagnant between July 2001 and July 2008, at $8.12 in 1982 dollars at both the beginning and end of that period, it soared to $8.64 in December 2008. The average real compensation during the fourth quarter was $8.50, up from $8.16 in the third quarter, a gain of 4.17% or 17.7% at an annual rate. The increase from September to December was even more dramatic, 5.5% or 23.9% at an annual rate. And in January, nominal hourly wage rose another 0.3% and while the CPI for January is not available yet, it is more likely to post another decline than an increase, meaning further gains in real wages.
What this means is that the large job losses in recent months really don't reflect so much a decline in real output, as it reflects a massive real wage shock.

Elephants of Sumatra
It has become my mission to document the lives of the remaining critically endangered elephants of Sumatra and bring faces and names to this seemingly unstoppable tragedy unfolding before our eyes. I travel each month visiting the elephant camps of Sumatra to photograph the captive elephants. There are only 1500 wild elephants remaining in Sumatra and 500 captive elephants. They are facing a crisis and will be extinct in as short as 10-20 years if things do not change. I want to photograph their plight and help raise funds and awareness for the plight of these beautiful animals. I am in the process of putting a book together documenting all the provinces and their elephants, wild and captive.

djgarrett21 wrote:My next bike is going to be disc brake and am looking for opinions and hopefully experience from those who may own some of these bikes. I currently ride a 2013 SuperSix Evo (non-himod). For the frame my list of priorities (in order) are: weight, comfort, and stiffness. Groupset will either be Dura-Ace Di2 or Sram Etap.
Here is my list so far:
Focus Izalco Max Disc
-Lightest disc road frameset I can find so far. The team version looks really nice. Seems to get good reviews but not sure about the stiffness.
Cannondale SuperSix Evo Disc
-I've read the comfort aspect of the frame has only improved in the latest iteration.
Canyon Ultimate CF SLC Disc
-Not available in the US until late summer/fall so most likely beyond the timeframe I'm looking to buy.
Giant TCR Advanced SL
-I test rode the non-isp version for a week. I was surprised how harsh riding it was (compared to my SS).
Specialized S-Works Tarmac Disc
-Haven't considered this too much, proprietary rear wheel is a bummer.
What other bikes would you toss into the mix?
Aero is beneficial but not a priority for me. I put quite a few miles on my SuperSix and hope to do the same with this next bike.
I'm riding a 2016 Focus Izalco Disc, the blue Dura Ace/FSA bike.
Really enjoying it.
Weight was initially 7.5kg minus pedals, I've "added lightness", no massive cost so far and it's 7.3kg including pedals.
Rides well, I prefer it to my last bike a BMC TMR I used to ride,
It's on a par with the best bike I've owned, Scott Foil...maybe I've just not ridden enough bikes?
I ticks all the boxes
One of the Best points is the RAT through axles...so simple and easy to change a wheel...brakes always in line

What about an Allied Allroad? I have no personal experience with it, but I like the story the company is crafting. Guess we'll see.

People rise to the occasion during tragedy. We bond in our grief and extend past our comfort levels to serve those in extreme need. We have seen it in instances like the terrorist attacks on 9/11. We are seeing it now with the relief effort in Haiti. Haiti has brought us together in our grief and January has been a month of mourning and a month of action. But tomorrow, on January 22nd, we remember and grieve for a tragedy that is far greater than the one in Haiti or 9/11.
On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court of the United States of America ruled that unborn American children do not share the same fundamental right to life as children who are born. They are property, chattel, things to be used and broken and discarded at will. We already had a choice about whether or not we wished to kill our children. Roe v. Wade simply eliminated the criminal penalty for the act.
The people of Haiti are suffering a natural disaster of catastrophic proportions. Ours is a manmade horror; where mothers allow men to torture and dismantle and burn their offspring within their very wombs. Children are murdered. Women are wounded. Many women have died along with their babies from legal abortions. We have been weeping and suffering for the Haitian people. Why are we so cold to our own?
There should not be a day that goes by when we do not consider the horror of what abortion is. There should not be a day when we are not on our knees begging the Lord to free us from this scourge and to protect the children. We should force ourselves to look at it. Be willing to speak the truth to a nation of people that has it's fingers in it's ears. Do we love enough to do this?
Although the people of Haiti still cling tenuously to their anti-abortion laws , abortion is still a common practice. As long ago as 1999, it was reported that roughly 7% of all pregnancies in Haiti ended in abortions. According to the Population Research Institute , Haiti has long been the target of aggressive population control tactics and funding. Circumvention of the law is possible when humanitarian aid agencies (such as USAID ) manipulate terminology such as "reproductive health". American tax dollars have been in Haiti for years helping the mothers to murder their own children in conditions that should even upset the pro-aborts. The people of that nation have long been afflicted by suffering and poverty and we are only now weeping for them?
Tomorrow is a day of prayer and fasting , of mourning and weeping, of regret and recommitment, of solidarity and promise. Let us continue to help those who are in immediate need around the world. Let us also remember the catastrophic and bloody mess that Americans have on their hands. It is sanitized homicide. Hidden. We do not have to see it if we do not choose to see it. Please commit yourself to opening yourself up to that pain. Authentic love is willing to suffer. Let us suffer for the little ones and fight for their lives. Let us open our hearts to the families who are burdened by the pain of this scourge and reach out to the women who walk alone and silently in their grief.
If you have not seen what abortion really is, see it here .
If you do not want to look, look anyway .
If you have had an abortion, know that you are not alone in your pain. Go here to listen to others who have found healing.

Center for Corporate Environmental Performance
Business is often blamed for playing a major role in contributing to environmental problems, but it also represents perhaps the largest opportunity to create a more sustainable future. At the Center for Corporate Environmental Performance, we work to create that future using innovative market-based approaches with business.
Through cross-disciplinary research, educational programs, and ground-breaking collaboration with organizations that are committed to improving their performance, CCEP helps find market oriented solutions to address sustainability challenges.
What we do
Using experimental research, surveys and hard data from a wide range of sources, we focus on three primary subjects:
- Business sustainability metrics: We develop quantitative measures of firm, product and supply chain "greenness" to help businesses think holistically about risks and opportunities around sustainability.
- Green consumer behavior: We investigate how consumers respond to information concerning the environmental impacts of various products.
- Business sustainability and employee engagement: We explore the mechanisms that link corporate sustainability to employee engagement and performance.
Our research shows that transparency is key to successful strategies in business sustainability. Putting that philosophy into practice, we offer our research data to interested parties to further research in this area.

SELESA LIKINE Selesa's case is very different from the other cases the Clinic has accepted so far. She was convicted in 2008 for failure to pay child support and received a sentence of two years probation. During the time that Selesa allegedly failed to pay child support, however, she was disabled, unemployed, and confined to a mental institution. At trial, she was not able to present any evidence pertaining to her inability to pay.
In early 2010, the Clinic, citing Michigan case law dating back to 1889, argued before the Court of Appeals that no person can be constitutionally convicted of a crime for failing to pay an assessment she cannot pay. The Court of Appeals rejected Selesa's appeal, failing to account for the fact that she was in fact being punished for an act she had no control over (being mentally ill).
The clinic then appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court, which held arguments in the case in late 2011, and issued a decision in July 2012. The Michigan Supreme Court agreed that a person should be able to show that it was impossible for them to comply with a child support order, and it threw out Selesa's conviction and granted her a new trial. The Michigan Attorney General dismissed all charges against Selesa in November 2012.

Sleep tip: Inhale through your left nostril
Your nose is directly linked to your brain and nervous system. The Indian Yogis believe that many diseases can be linked to a disturbed nasal breathing. If you can not sleep at night, gently shut your right nostril with your right thumb and breathe through your left nostril. This will calm your para-sympathetic system and slowly slow down your heartbeat. This allows you to relax better.

As Charles Dickens more eloquently put it, countless positive and negative things in life are hard to separate. Many times we see this when we look at the equity markets over the short term. Markets can be extremely volatile on a daily basis (even intraday).
You've probably seen a chart illustrating the effect of being invested during the best days in the stock market while avoiding the worst days. What often isn't discussed is the difficulty in trying to successfully time the market either to elude the worst days or capture the best days.
To help you explain the challenges of timing the market to clients, we looked at the 20 worst and 20 best days from 1990 through 2015. What we found (see figure below) is that all but one of the worst days were within a month of at least one extreme up day.
It's clear that the best of times and the worst of times—on a daily basis—aren't that far apart in the stock market. It's also clear that the only way to guarantee never missing the best days is to stay invested.
Ever stop to think during which years those extreme days take place? We found that almost 50% of the worst trading days took place during a year with a positive return. In other words, some of the worst days occurred in otherwise good market years. Relatedly, we found about half of the best days occurred in negative-return years.
In fact, when we looked at the distribution of daily returns for various annual returns (see figure below), we saw that the years with larger down days also had larger up days for both sizable positive and sizable negative years. This substantiated previous Vanguard research showing that volatile episodic periods tended to cluster around significant and unpredictable global macro events.¹ What was also true was that once these "shocks" were alleviated, market volatility returned to more normalized levels.
Down days are going to happen; the key for all of us as investors is to stay the course, rather than make sudden changes based on macroeconomic events. As we witnessed recently with Brexit and the immediate (but quickly reversed) stock sell-off, we must instill in clients that the activities of short-term investors make the headlines but what clients should really be concerned about is long-term wealth creation.
As long as your clients' asset allocations match their financial goals, risk tolerances, and time horizons, the best thing they can do is stay the course during seasons of light and seasons of darkness, times of hope and times of despair.²
I would like to express my sincere thanks to my colleagues Yan Zilbering and James Rowley for their contributions to this blog.

United Nations | In Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council
The Global Fund for Widows is honored to be In Special Consultative Status with the United Nations' Economic and Social Council. This critical association affords the Global Fund for Widows the opportunity to directly advocate on behalf of widows with global policy makers and advance the 2030 Agenda through the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. To this end, the Global Fund for Widows has presented at the Human Rights Council in Geneva on the human rights violation against widows. At both the 60th and 61st Session of the Commission on the Status of Women, the Global Fund for widows hosted a Parallel Event which included widow's advocates from around the world. The Global Fund for Widows has also advocated for widows at various conferences and summits including the UN Journey to Extremism Summit (2017), the International Dialogue on Intergenerational Poverty (2017), UN Summit on Refugees and Migrants (2016), UN Conference on Human Rights of Victims of Terror, and UN Special High Level event on Human Trafficking (2016).
In 2010, Womensphere with Newsweek, held its third Global Summit in New York City. Womensphere honored us by featuring three world-changing non-profit organizations that empower women: The Global Fund for Women, the Mary J. Blige Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now (FFAWN), and the social enterprise Global Fund For Widows.
Through its incredible network of global leaders, Womensphere delivers a mission of empowering women through inspiration, education, connection, and recognition.

The Mandell School is committed to providing a nurturing educational environment for its children and their families, which through intellectual stimulation and emotional support, enables them to become responsible active citizens of the world.
In an effort to engender these values, Mandell students, families, and faculty partnered with Airline Ambassadors to build an international community through outreach efforts. In December 2009, students from Mandells first grade class traveled to the Dominican Republic to meet with orphans in a humanitarian exchange. Mandell then committed to partner with the orphanages to assist them in acquiring basic needs including food, medicine and educational materials. NBC's feature can be found here.
In March 2010, Global Fund for Widows partnered with Mandell and Airline Ambassadors through its Orphanage Assistance Program. Through this program, Global Fund for Widows has been helping orphanages in the Dominican Republic fund the addition of widows to become critical caregivers and teachers to the young survivors of the tragic earthquake in Haiti.
KOKET, a leading international designer and manufacturer of luxury furnishings, partnered with the Global Fund for Widows in 2012 to create the Camilia. Empassioned by the Global Fund's cause, the incomparable talents powering Koket, created a masterpiece – the Camilia – to grace the most regal of dining rooms with its elegance and splendor. Inspired by the aristocratic palaces of the Alexandrian pashas of Egypt, the mother of pearl Camilia is crowned by artisan hand-carved peacock, meticulously engraved and delicately finished in gold leaf.
Perhaps most intriguing is that the Camila was created in passionate support of widows and female heads of households in the developing world. Koket's personal commitment to bringing an end to the vicious cycle of poverty – by empowering the most vulnerable of the poor through skills based training, education, access to employment, and access to micro-capital – have culminated in the creation of this statement piece. Proceeds from sales of the Camilia will be donated to such widows, affording them with opportunities of health, security, stability, and dignity previously untenable.
Eva Shaw Designs was forged from mother-daughter duo, who have melded art history and gemology to carefully handcraft exclusive one-of-a-kind limited quantity jewelry. They draw inspiration from quality materials, fine art and the tradition of adornment and eclectic cultural interests. They carefully infuse cultural history and the vast and varied history of precious materials to create each piece they make.
Eva Shaw Designs, a close friend of the GFW, has created an exclusive line featuring sterling silver and un-cut black diamonds to promote the Global Fund for Widows and to provide a way for their patrons to outwardly show their support. Ultimately, the goal is to help widows achieve financial stability, self-sufficiency, accountability, and importantly, become a role model to her own children and to others.
They will be expanding the collection in the coming months to include additional styles. Eva Shaw Designs donates 100% of our retail profits to the Global Fund for Widows.
The Global Fund for Widows is proud to have partnered with the generous Thompson-Reuters Trustlaw Connect who provide the GFW with free legal service internationally.

My Tim Hortons Double Double Drive Thru Dance
I thought I'd share a wacky Canadian story with my south of the border buddies. The other day I have a craving for a classic double double (that's Canada speak for a coffee with 2 sugars and 2 creams) so I load little H up in the van and head to Tim Hortons. There's a huge line in the drive thru but I go in anyway. It's much safer to keep the two year old strapped into her car seat while handling hot coffee than trying to wrangle her inside.
I order my double double and a breakfast sandwich and a couple timbits (donut holes) for the kiddo.
I get to the window and the guy says that the car in front of me has paid for my order. I got a little flustered here because it was early, I was on zero caffeine and it was just a bit out of the ordinary routine.
So I pay for the car behind me to keep the chain going. I am not going to be the scrooge who stops it. No sir-ee bob. Then for some reason I feel the need to get outta dodge. I don't know why – maybe it was because I got about $10 worth of stuff for $1.70.
I grab my coffee and the timbits and hit the gas then I hear "your sandwich! you forgot your sandwich!" from outside.
Well, I am NOT leaving that behind. I throw into park and hop out. Then I realize I can't leave the keys in a running vehicle with my kid sitting in it. Someone could easily hop in and take her. So I pull a double back and turn off the car and yank out the keys. Then I run back up the drive through to the window to grab my breakfast. It was only three running steps but the window guy is busting a gut and I didn't have the nerve to make eye contact with the driver of the car behind me.
Thank god I decided to swap out my Winnie the Pooh pj pants (yes, they make them in adult sizes) for black yoga pants or the window guy may have hyperventilated. Who wants that on their conscience? Not me.

Having previously worked with Richard X and Ed Buller, and fired by a fierce D.I.Y. spirit that permeates every facet of their world, the band decamped to a rural farmhouse in Sussex run by a French hippy commune to self-produce their debut album. Completely self-contained and locked away in a room full of sleeping bags, old synths and supplies of food and other consumables dropped off by their label, they recorded the album in a month during early Summer 2010.
'Lights & Offerings' was later mixed at the DFA studios in New York by Rapture collaborator Jonathan Kreinik. The album also features the videos for previous singles 'Ways To An End' and 'Hide And Seek'.
Following on from recent support slots with OMD, White Lies and Fenech Soler, Mirrors are set to play a handful of live dates over the coming months, including a tour with Fujiya & Miyagi and one-off show with Gary Numan.

David Crossley wrote: > This raises another issue. There seems to be confusion for the > syntax. I see various syntaxes in the xdocs ... That's bad. There is RFC 2396 and some predecessors about URI syntax. Everything starting with a URI scheme identifer like "file:" or "http:" is an absolute URI. An absolute file URL is file://some.host/some/path/to/file.ext The host can be omitted, defaulting to localhost (usually the only one you have access to anyway), so you can write file:///some/path/to/file.ext Everything not starting with a protocol is a relative URI. If it's starting with two slashes, it's a net path (no further discussed). If starting with one slash the scheme and if necessary the host is taken from some context and prepended. If starting with something neither a slash or sharp "#" the context URI is used for resolution (usually prepended after stripping of the last path component). Because people usually are sloppy and confuse URL and local pathnames, many software products try to be helpful and guess what the user actually meant. Furthermore, the concept of the context URL is often ill defined and rarely explicitely spelled out. The fact that Windows accept both forward and backward slashes in pathnames from programs doesn't make it much easier. Conclusions If there it is plausible that the URL should be taken in the context of the running process, which has a current working directory (CWD), the following examples should work. Lets say the CWD is /FOO on a Unix machine and D:\FOO on a Windows box. (h) denotes the usual helpful guess for stuff that's formally invalid. The colon *is* legal in Unix pathnames. URL class resolves Unix resolves Windows bar.ext relative /FOO/bar.ext D:\FOO\bar.ext /bar.ext relative /bar.ext D:\bar.ext C:/bar.ext relative /FOO/C:/bar.ext C:\bar.ext /C:/bar.ext relative /C:/bar.ext C:\bar.ext (h) file:/bar.ext invalid /bar.ext (h) D:\bar.ext (h) file://bar.ext invalid /FOO/bar.ext (h) D:\FOO\bar.ext (h) file:///bar.ext absolute /bar.ext D:\bar.ext file:///C:/bar.ext absolute /C:/bar.ext C:\bar.ext Note that both /bar.ext and C:/bar.ext are relative URLs, despite being absolute pathnames on their respective home systems. Note further that the Netscape syntax which replaces the colon after the drive letter by a pipe symbol (/C|/stuff) is illegal, because the pipe symbol is an illegal character at this place. I do not claim that the above is authoritative, apply usual disclaimer.

Most men can count on one hand the number of times they've worn a tuxedo. And the number of men who own their own tuxedo is even more limited. It's an outfit that screams classic' and makes any groom look like James Bond. On their wedding day grooms want to feel comfortable, self-confident and stylish. Today's grooms have more fashion sense and are not afraid to show it.
Trends and styles vary, but most grooms go with the standard black jacket and pants and then choose a white or ivory vest and tie. Color choices span the rainbow, but most grooms stay true to traditional colors like black, white or neutrals like silver platinum or dark charcoal. Most of the time brides accompany their grooms to help make important color choices, early in the process.
There are so many different styles of tuxedos to choose from. When you go to make your selection, they'll be able to help you find a style that best compliments your body type.
Here are a few guidelines for fitting all body types:
Tall and slender - You could probably wear any style, but thin men look best in double-breasted jackets. Shoulders should be padded a bit more than normal, and the trousers should be full with a higher rise.
Tall and husky - The shawl collar tux is the perfect choice. The jacket is usually single-breasted with one button and the trouser legs should be slightly wider if you have large or muscular thighs. Avoid thin bow ties; instead choose a tie that is in proportion with your face and neck.
Short and stocky - The shawl collar tux is a good choice -- single-breasted, with the button around the belt line to make your torso appear longer and leaner. Choose a jacket with a lot of shoulder padding and consider pleated trousers. Avoid wing-tip collars and very small ties if you have a large face or neck. If you are on the heavier side, consider a vest over the traditional cumm

Arran whisky lovers – rejoice!
The Arran Banner weekly newspaper revealed this weekend (12 March 2016) that a new distillery site is set to be built in south Arran by Isle of Arran Distillers Ltd.
Arran whisky lovers – rejoice!
The Arran Banner weekly newspaper revealed this weekend (12 March 2016) that a new distillery site is set to be built in south Arran by Isle of Arran Distillers Ltd.
2015 was a packed year for Arran with a lot of releases and the last one, released last October, is Arran 'The Bothy' which is a homage to the use of small casks used for whisky back in the 18th & 19th centuries.
Arran 'The Bothy' is initially matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels which should impart some good and juicy fruit notes and then finished in quarter casks (for spiciness and vanilla notes) for a period of over 18 months.
12,000 bottles were made and it was bottled at cask strength of 55.7%
Nose: Starts with a pleasant fruity, sweet and cream nose. A lot of pears and a dash of apricots. There are also hints of wood spices and pepper . Also showing up: honey and green oak barks. With additional time in the glass it gets more malty with barley and cereals, additional youth notes and vanilla. Continue reading
Following the sad and tragic events this weekend I thought of reviewing some good whisky to boost my mood. The choice fell on a bit sweet whisky to fight the sour and bitter taste in my mouth – a 14 year old single cask Arran, that was bottled for The Whisky Exchange.
Nose: Quite a bold and aggressive nose, chalky, fruity, vanilla and honey, pears, peaches, pear drops, dark and deep hue fruit juice, whiffs of pineapple. Concentrated red apples juice, soursweet candies. A very rich and fabulous nose. My money here is on a 1st fill cask. Continue reading
My previous experience with Arran whisky isn't extensive – I did taste a few Arran whiskies in stores and even SMWS one (which I blogged here and I have heard lots of good things on other indie bottlings) and the quality is very good and improving with time, so when Arran 17 yo went on sale, I picked it and hoped it will be as good as expected.
Bear in mind that Arran distillery is young. It only celebrated 19 year old 1-2 months ago and as such it has a long way to go, catch our eyes and build up their reputation. so every release is important on this road. Continue reading
Amazing thing happened this morning which is hard to believe: It's Monday again!
It means that today we continue with "Social Media Distilled" interviews and this time in our series: how does a relatively new distillery handles social media.
Allow me to introduce the lady behind Arran Distillery marketing and internet presence – Jaclyn McKie.
Please tell us a bit about yourself. Continue reading
It's been a while since I posted some industry whisky news but there were some interesting new releases this week – AnCnoc venture into peated whisky, so does Glenglassaugh. The annual Ardbeg bottling is officially announced (although details were found via the TTB site a few months ago), new Arran 17yo and flavored whisky (well, a spirit, as you can't call this whisky). Continue reading
How many times can I repeat that I love SMWS whiskies? The act gets boring after a while, even if their whiskies doesn't. This time – an Arran bottling 14yo old (again, sample provided by my buddy Tom of Toms Whiskies Reviews) So far I had very good experience with Arran whiskies but seems like this one will be the first tasting notes from Arram on the blog (gotta have more ah?)

Sidney Crosby scored a highlight-reel a goal and added assist, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 5-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres in a pre-Olympic tuneup against goalie Ryan Miller on Wednesday night.
Evgeni Malkin, James Neal, Brian Gibbons and minor-league call-up Harry Zolnierczyk also scored for Eastern Conference-leading Pittsburgh. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 24 shots and the Penguins (40-15-2) set a franchise record by reaching 40 wins in 57 games. That eclipsed the previous mark in 1995-96, when they hit 40 wins in 65 games.
Drew Stafford scored for the NHL's worst team, and U.S. Olympic goalie Miller finished with 29 saves. Buffalo (15-33-8) dropped to 4-9-4 in its past 17 and winless in its last eight home games (0-5-3). That's the Sabres' worst home stretch since opening the season 0-8-1.
Crosby scored the go-ahead goal by putting the Penguins up 2-1 with a breathtaking play 2:08 into the second period. It came immediately after Fleury stopped Buffalo's Brian Flynn in close.

Re: Ranking systems in different countries
Basia, "most cases" refers to current Hombu AIkikai requirements, as well as other aikido organizations, two of which I'm adding here. The USAF's numbers were the same in the 60's, and I've shown earlier in this topic how their requirements have hyper-inflated over the years. It's as if USAF is asking people to put in the time and money that in "most cases" around the world would get people into a master's or part way to a PhD, and giving them a bachelor's.
That might have some merit if USAF was turning out remarkable shodans, but they're not. I've had the opportunity to train aikido with many people from many organizations and countries, and I've found - on average - a student that's been in a hakama since 3rd kyu and reaches shodan around the three year mark, has a better overall proficiency and level of understanding of aikido than most USAF shodans I've trained with.
I think the argument could be made, that drawing out the time to shodan - and in some cases, wearing of a hakama - too much can actually stunt growth - often dramatically. And it also turns the idea of a shodan - which is really the beginning of the school - into a much bigger carrot than it should be. Grades and requirements can be used as effective learning instruments and standards, but they can also be misused.
ASU requirements: shodan 39 months, 510 hours
Tomiki: shodan 340 hours

Since its inaugural flights, PEOPLExpress has carried nearly 40,000 customers on more than 450 flights.
Service to Orlando begins Oct. 16 with flights on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Introductory fares start at $89 each way. Reservations are now open for the new route.
"We are continuing to fill gaps in air service with new non-stop flights people have been asking for," Erickson said. "We look forward to further smart growth as we identify opportunities that are a good fit for us."
PEOPLExpress today also announced its fall and winter system schedule, with bookings available through March 31.
PEOPLExpress has developed a low-cost, a la carte service model that enables customers to create a customized travel product reflecting their individual wishes and budgets.

Author Notes: I was looking for a recipe for my son for yummy cupcakes and I could not find any that were GF or sugar free, or all natural that he enjoyed. I finally came up with this recipe along with frosting. He LOVES the cupcakes. I also use this recipe to make birthday cakes. —Annmarie Rung
Makes: 12 cupcakes
cup coconut flour
teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
teaspoon aluminum free baking soda
organic-cage free eggs
cup grapeseed oil
cup raw organic honey
tablespoon gluten free- no alcohol vanilla
- In a medium bowl, combine coconut flour, salt and baking soda
- In a small bowl, blend together eggs, grapeseed oil, melted honey and vanilla
- Mix wet ingredients into dry and blend with a mixer or hand blender until smooth
- Pour batter into a glass pan or cupcake liners
- Bake at 350° for 20 minutes Cool completely Top with frosting Makes 12 cupcakes or 1 12 inch cake
- I am always expertimenting with different varaitions of frosting. 2 c macadamia nut butter(homemade). Just put nuts in food processor for 5 mnutes. At first the nuts will clump and then you will see the oil starting to come out of the nuts and it will turn to nut butter. Then, add the nut butter to 4 T raw honey & 2 tsp water…blend. So many different variations. You could add dates and pulse chop until mixed. or add shredded apples and pulse chop for a few seconds. You can even change the color of the frosting by adding beet juice or veggie juice . Then…. Frost the cake and garnish with edible flowers, and/or dried coconut, strawberries….or whatever your heart desires. Enjoy!
