Animal-World's Featured Pet of the Week: The Siamese Fighting Fish!
March 10, 2013 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Aquariums, Featured Pets, Freshwater fish
Animal-World's Featured Pet for this week is: The Siamese Fighting Fish!
Did you ever have a fish as a child? If so what kind did you start out with? My guess is either a Goldfish or a Siamese Fighting Fish! These two types of fish are very popular, mostly because their care requirements are not highly specialized. We had many Siamese Fighting Fish when I was a child. My dad even bred them on a few occasions. We had several little tanks set up in a row! My favorite memory of these guys was when my brother and I would argue over who's fish was prettier; my blue fish or his red one! Of course they were both beautiful!
The Siamese Fighting Fish Betta splendens, commonly called just the Betta, is a popular fish for several reasons. First, Bettas do not require a lot of space. They can be kept in relatively small aquariums and do not grow very large. Second, they are very hardy fish and don't require specific water conditions. Third, they do not require a lot of time or maintenance. Because of these reasons, they make great pet fish for children and beginners! In captivity the males have been selectively bred to have long beautiful fins. In the wild the males do have longer fins than the females, but they are not as long as in captive bred fish.
The Betta is quite possibly one of the oldest fish kept in captivity. They were first described in 1910 by Regan. They hail from Thailand and the Malayan Peninsula. Their natural habitat there is in slow moving waters with lots of vegetation. They are listed on the IUCN Red List as Vulnerable. This is because their natural habitat is being degraded, which could lead to an endangered status. Siamese Fighting Fish received their name for a reason. The "fighting" part came from the fact that these fish fight! Males will not tolerate each other and will fight to the death if they are kept in the same tank. For this reason, only one male can be kept in a tank. Usually more than one female can be kept peacefully together though.
Siamese Fighting Fish only live 2 to 3 years and are therefore not a long-term commitment. As I stated before, they require minimal care and maintenance. They only reach up to 2.5 inches and do not need a large aquarium space. Belonging to the Labyrinth Fish family, they have a special "labyrinth organ." This organ allows them to live in waters with less oxygen for short periods of time. Another Labyrinth Fish is the Dwarf Gourami which I recently wrote about in December. Because of this Bettas can live in as small as a 3 gallon tank, but would appreciate more room if you can spare it! Also, if you plan to keep more than one fish you should provide a larger aquarium. They don't need any special lighting or water movement and can be kept in comfortable room temperature water. Bettas are carnivores and should be fed a typical fish flake or pellet. Feel free to give them small amounts of food several times a day.
The Siamese Fighting Fish is a good social fish under most circumstances. You will only want to keep one male per tank, but can keep several females together if you wish and the tank is large enough. They generally get along well with most other community type fish, although you will want to make sure nobody is getting picked on and that everybody has plenty of hiding places.
Breeding Siamese Fighting Fish is both simple and difficult. By putting a male and a female together, you will almost certainly have mating going on. They male builds a "bubble nest" like most other Labyrinth Fish. The eggs are spawned in the bubble nest and the fry will hatch there. Once the eggs are hatched, keeping them alive becomes much more difficult. Males will often attack the young and infection in the babies is high. For more information on how to breed successfully, read here on Breeding Labyrinth Fish.
Most of you have probably owned a Betta or two in your lifetime. If not, and you are interested in an easy fish to keep, definitely think about keeping the Siamese Fighting Fish!

The phrases "mere condition" and "mere covenant" (and the latter phrase's more modern equivalent, "mere obligation") occur quite often in caselaw, as well as in the literature on contract law. A search of Lexis's "Federal & State Cases, Combined" database found 940, 536, and 353 instances, respectively, of those phrases. But those phrases, and analogues using "merely," make me uneasy, … [Read more...]
Archives for April 2010
MSCD 16.29–31 deals with "rhetorical emphasis." That's the term I use to describe language you shovel into a contract provision to show that you really, really mean it. Every so often I encounter new examples of rhetorical emphasis. (See for example this August 2008 blog post about in all respects.) Here's another symptom of rhetorical emphasis: fully. More often than not, fully adds … [Read more...]
"Unless and Until"
Parsing redundancy in contract language can get old, because it comes in endless shape-shifting forms. But a fundamental and intriguing kind of redundancy involves conjunctions. It's high time that I consider unless and until. It features prominently in contract language. For example, 842 "material contracts" filed on the SEC's EDGAR system in the past month use unless and until. (Another 26 … [Read more...]
Typography: Revisiting My Choice of Calibri
In December 2007 I underwent a Damascene conversion and switched typefaces—for purposes of contracts and pretty much everything else—to Calibri, one of a new suite of Microsoft typefaces. Calibri has been designated the default typeface for body text in Office 2007, and the Word 2007 default font for body text is 11-point Calibri. (Click here for a pdf sample of Calibri.) For more on this change, … [Read more...]
Stray Thoughts on Who Should Teach Contract Drafting, and How
The Conglomerate Blog has been running an interesting series of posts on the theme of "Minding our own business: How changes in the business of law might affect law schools and what law professors should be doing about it." The most recent one is here, and is by Michelle Harner, associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Law. I noted in particular the following: To illustrate my … [Read more...]
Open-Source Law and Contract Drafting—A Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road
In this item on his blog, the inestimable Ron Friedmann ponders the extent to which an "open source" approach to work product would save time and money for law departments. Here's how Ron frames his thought experiment: So assume that confidentiality, privilege, and competitive issues matter not, that law departments contributed a significant portion of work product—generated internally or by … [Read more...]

David Munn, general counsel of contracts intelligence company Pramata Corporation and longtime friend of this blog, recently alerted me to some mystery contract language.

If all goes according to plan, in a few months I'll be publishing with West, as a pdf download, my booklet "The Structure of M&A Contracts."

Revisiting "Including"
In the course of rooting around online, I encountered this 2007 analysis by Morris, Manning & Martin of a Georgia Court of Appeals case, Covington Square Associates, LLC v. Ingles Markets, Inc., 283 Ga.App. 307, 641 S.E.2d 266 (Ga. Ct. App. 2007) [pdf]. Better late than never, let's look at this case. It involves a dispute over a shopping-center lease between Covington (the landlord) and … [Read more...]
Defining "Magic Words" and Related Terminology
I've found myself using increasingly often on this blog the phrase "magic words," so I thought it high time that I explain, to myself and anyone else interested, what I mean by that phrase. It's in widespread use in legal circles—a search of Westlaw's "tp-all" database retrieved over 3,500 items that refer to "magic words." But generally it's used to convey a meaning rather different from the … [Read more...]
Penn Law News Item About the BCRF Redrafting Project (And Information About the Fall 2010 Project)
The "Newsroom" feature of the University of Pennsylvania Law School's website contains this item about the redrafting project my class worked on last semester—we redrafted the Breast Cancer Research Foundation's trademark license agreement. For the fall 2010 redrafting project, I'd like to work once more with a not-for-profit organization, this time one that works on matters relating to the … [Read more...]
"And/Or" as Scapegoat
Judges and commentators have long fulminated against and/or. One particularly irate judge—perhaps spittle-flecked, with neck veins bulging—referred to it as "that befuddling, nameless thing, that Janus-faced monstrosity, neither word nor phrase, the child of a brain of someone too lazy or too dull to express his precise meaning, or too dull to know what he did mean." And here's David … [Read more...]
"Sole and Exclusive"
[Updated July 14, 2015: This topic is revisited in this 2012 post and this 2015 post.] The recent Lawyers Weekly article that I linked to in a previous post contains the following: The phrase "sole and exclusive license," for example, is common yet contradictory. "Sole," on the one hand, means only one person has the legal right to use the product. "Exclusive," however, actually means only one … [Read more...]
Avoiding Fights Over Double Materiality
An M&A-lawyer boogeyman is "double materiality," which ostensibly arises when a materiality qualification is included in the bringdown condition to one party's obligation to close, as well as in one or more representations made by the other party. The concern is that double materiality could mean that even though a seller representation qualified by materiality is inaccurate, it's not … [Read more...]

The Novell–SCO Litigation: A Lesson in Thinking Through the Implications of Your Drafting
In this May 2007 blog post I wrote about the litigation between Novell and SCO. (That post dealt with the implications of retaining drafts of a contract.)

Some Resources on Document Assembly
[Updated April 6, 2010: Another resource is this recent Law Technology News article on document assembly. Not that it says anything earthshattering.] The comments to last Tuesday's post about Kingsley Martin's new blog veered unexpectedly into a detailed discussion of document-assembly technologies. That got me to thinking that it might not be a bad idea for me to provide links to some … [Read more...]
Regular readers of this blog will know that I'm committed to drafting contracts in standard English—English as spoken and written by the average educated native English speaker. But sometimes, nothing can take the place of that olde-worlde lingo. An important example of that is forsooth, meaning "in truth," "indeed." It's all well and good to think in terms of articulating the intent of the … [Read more...]

*Disclaimer: I was sent this book by Bethany Publishers to read and review*
I really, really enjoyed this book! I constantly found myself stopping to write something down. I love the way the author describes and explains things, its not hard to understand and is enjoyable even though its a teaching book. I enjoyed the glossy pages as well.
I gave this a 5 out of 5 stars, it is definitely worth checking out! My prayer life has definitely changed and my idea of prayer has changed as well. I am so aware of how much i lack in that area. This book made me excited and made me want to reevaluate my prayer life and be more intentional about it.
I think that the author really drives home some important and good facts and really knows what he is talking about. I recommend this to anyone who needs some encouragement or wants to learn more about the power and structure of prayer.
Here are some links where you can purchase it:
Here is the authors web page:
Much love,

CUPERTINO, Calif.—Aside from iPhones, the Apple TV was the most rumored device ahead of Apple's September event. Today, the company announced a new Apple TV set-top box that's in line with most previous speculations: it can play 4K and HDR content thanks to support from a faster processor.
4K output may not be enticing for those who don't consume 4K content already. Movies and TV shows filmed in 4K are not the majority yet, but companies have been working to produce more of this high-quality video content. Netflix has more than 100 titles streaming in 4K—but as with any 4K content, you need a 4K-capable display to watch it.
With the new Apple TV, Apple is addressing part of the hardware issue. Set-top boxes have become the middlemen for many consumers who mostly stream online video: for example, you can sign in to your Netflix account on a new Apple TV model, choose a 4K program to watch like Black Mirror, and stream it through the Apple TV to your 4K television. In order to address the content issue, Apple needed to release a 4K Apple TV first to compete with Roku, Amazon, and Nvidia, all of which have 4K-capable set-top boxes.
With this new Apple hardware, the company will focus on producing and obtaining 4K content that will be accessible only to those with a new Apple TV. The company set aside $1 billion for its original content initiative in 2018, and some of that sum will go toward making new 4K shows and getting the rights to sell 4K titles on iTunes. Apple has reportedly been in talks with movie studios to sell 4K titles on iTunes at $20 each, but the tech giant faced pushback from Hollywood companies that believe these UHD movies should sell for about $30 per title. At the event today, Apple's Eddy Cue confirmed Cupertino's partnerships with big Hollywood players (Lionsgate, Universal, etc.) and other TV/streaming companies from Amazon to local services worldwide (like CBC or AnimeLab).
Cue also pushed the angle of gaming on Apple TV in light of the new hardware. The latest Apple TV box adds Metal 2 and the A10X Fusion Chip, so "we are able to run the game smoothly even with detailed clouds and up to eight players from anywhere in the world," said game designer Jenova Chen, of thatgamingcompany (makers of Journey and Flower). Chen was on hand to demo a game called Sky, a "romantic, social adventure game." Senior Reviews Editor Samuel Axon likened Sky to previous thatgamingcompany titles after watching the demo. "This probably has the same kind of unexpected multiplayer features as Journey," he wrote.
The new Apple TV with 4K capabilities starts at $179/£179 for the 32GB version. Orders begin on September 15, and the device ships on September 22.

With the selection of Representative Paul Ryan as his running mate Saturday morning, presumed Republican nominee Mitt Romney made federal spending -- including on higher education -- a major flash point of the coming presidential campaign.
Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican and chair of the House Budget Committee, is best-known as the architect of a House of Representatives budget plan to slash discretionary spending, including federal research funding, student loans and the Pell Grant program, over the next decade. The latest version of that budget plan, which many Republicans praised and the Obama administration has panned, would try to contain cost of Pell Grants by changing eligibility criteria to exclude more students from the program and limiting the maximum award.

R&B star Rihanna has stepped behind the camera for the first time to direct the advertising campaign for her new U.K. clothing collection.
The Umbrella hitmaker teamed up with bosses at high street store River Island to launch the range, which will be made available next year (13), and now she has shown off her camera skills by shooting the commercials with famed photographer Mario Sorrentino.
Uploading a snap of herself posing with three models from the set on Twitter.com, she writes, "Just directed my first ad campaign for my new collection with River Island, Spring/Summer 2013!! And that's a wrap at the end of a 2 day shoot w/ MARIO SORRENTI".

Foreskin Irritation
If a skin irritation on or under the foreskin develops, you can treat it at home by gently pulling the foreskin back, applying dilute Calendula tincture (see Chapter 14), and allowing the area to dry before returning the foreskin to its normal position. If a sexually active adult has sores or a rash, or if pus has formed, see your practitioner.
Occasionally the foreskin may get stuck in a retracted position and become swollen or inflamed. Apply ice wrapped in a cloth to the area and try to gently work the foreskin back into its normal position. If you are not immediately successful, emergency care is required.
Testicular Problems
Pain or swelling in the testicles or vicinity requires medical attention. A variety of problems may cause such symptoms.
Epididymitis is an infection of the epididymis, a compact, coiled tube attached to each testicle and in which newly formed sperm mature. Although epididymitis does not occur too often, it is more common than orchitis, infection of the testicles. Both these infections cause pain and swelling in the testicular area.
Testicular pain may also be caused by twisting of the testicle and the structures within the scrotum that connect it to the body. Called testicular torsion, this is not only extremely painful but also dangerous, because if the blood supply is interrupted, the testicle may be lost in a few hours.
Testicular cancer is one of the most common cancers in men under thirty. You should get checked immediately if you notice change in the size of or any lumps or nodules in a testicle. A cancerous testicle is typically painless. Testicular cancer is usually easy to treat when it is discovered early. Men should make it a habit to regularly feel their testicles (in the shower is a good time) to be sure that no changes have occurred.

Two senators who brokered a breakthrough deal to expand background checks on gun buyers said they expected to defeat efforts to block the bill as the Senate takes up its first vote on gun-control legislation Thursday.
The Senate is scheduled to vote on whether to begin debate on the bill, as more than a dozen Republicans have threatened a filibuster aimed at preventing consideration of any gun restrictions.
"I think we'll get there. That's a 60-vote threshold," Pat Toomey told CBS's "This Morning." On Wednesday, the Pennsylvania Republican announced the agreement with Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.
The Democratic-led chamber is expected to defeat conservative Republicans' efforts to block the legislation, which aims to expand criminal background checks of gun buyers to include sales made at gun shows and online.
Public opinion polls show up to 90 percent of Americans favor expanded background checks in the aftermath of the December massacre of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. But the legislation faces weeks of expected debate in the Senate and likely will get a cooler reception in the Republican-led House of Representatives.
Amendments also could make it unpalatable to some senators who now support it, including Toomey, who said he would not back any additions that would curb law-abiding gun owners' rights.
"I think they'll all fail," he said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Many Democrats, including President Barack Obama, and gun-control advocates have been pressing for renewal of the ban on military-type assault weapons and limits on high-capacity magazines. Gun rights groups have aggressively lobbied against any restrictions.
Any final bill out of the Senate could also include increased school security and tighter restrictions on gun trafficking.

Stance Socks
The design challenge for this project was to create a campaign to drive more connection with the consumers of Stance Socks. This attempt to united these demographics of stance consumers is a reflection of what the brand itself stands for. A series of three print ads were created, each showing a different lifestyle of a Stance consumer. These are just every day people that do unique things in there Stance Socks. The copy on the ads will inform the viewer of the Stance United movement and what they can do to be involved and see more. Posters were also created as a hand out to spark this inspiration within the consumers more. All of this content leads the viewer to the Stance website where they will find a look book map of the United States. Here they can click on each state and see different stance styles worn across the map. If they see a pair they love in the book, just one click and they are sent to the website to purchase that pair. The hash tags that are posted by the users will be creating these books for each state, bringing together all the unique ways Stance Socks are worn in one place.

Why does my microphone keep slowly getting quiet
I read an interesting post from Scott Hanselman the other day pertaining to microphones and remote workers. Oddly enough we have been battling an issue in the office over the past couple of weeks where a person's microphone would be awesome at the start of a meeting…but then slowly degrade over time. Not degrade in quality, just that the volume would slowly get lower and lowers. So he would be speaking and it was as if he just started to walk away from the conversation. As we use google voice, skype, and gotomeeting, there were three apps (we thought) potentially cancelling one another out. We looked and looked through the app settings for the culprit and finally just decided to look for an all app solution. As it turns out there is an easy one!
To permanently solve this issue for all applications start by going to the volume control in the lower left. Right click. Choose recording devices.
Select the device you are using for your microphone. Click properties.
Then choose the advanced tab.
Uncheck the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device".
Click OK. Good to go!

Striking course of Fire Island that paves a way for Lighthouse beach is one of the most dominating sites where one would have an occasion to enjoy the moment of splendor. Clothing here is very optional and you would rarely find anyone dressed up like normal but then it is a culture and it's not abnormal rather it's a phenomenon that attributes a lot to its tourism and enterprise.
Crank up your good times here at Lighthouse beach because they believe in life and they know how to make it large. Showing to nature is not an offence and showing natural things is not a sin so together we can put in this way like god hard or go home. Random nudity could be disturbing but expect to see many in vast stretches of beach. Amenities within are up tailed up private people and around its periphery you would find local liquor shops and restaurants where you can walk in to fire up your hungry stomach or can drink chill beer by enjoying a salubrious climate of the coast.
A white washed sand whistles and whispers along with nature and the rush of adventure around would promise to make your advent memorable. The silent walk could be observed during any time but be prepared to see some nude traveler walking along the coast beside that expect woman to go wild during the same advent. The very outline and board of the beach makes it very clear about how thing works here so if you have no mood to strip naked than it is better to enjoy an entertainment channel in home because we have some freaks walking with daring attitude and pride.

Reporting from Washington — The Obama administration, grappling with a spate of recent Islamic terrorism cases on U.S. soil, has concluded that the country confronts a rising threat from homegrown extremism.
Anti-terrorism officials and experts see signs of accelerated radicalization among American Muslims, driven by a wave of English-language online propaganda and reflected in aspiring fighters' trips to hot spots such as Pakistan and Somalia.
Europe had been the front line, the target of successive attacks and major plots, while the U.S. remained relatively calm. But the number, variety and scale of recent U.S. cases suggest 2009 has been the most dangerous year domestically since 2001, anti-terrorism experts said:
* There were major arrests of Americans accused of plotting with Al Qaeda and its allies, including an Afghan American charged in a New York bomb plot described as the most serious threat in this country since the Sept. 11 attacks.

Chinese language learning over Spring Festival? (Beijing)
I just posted this in Expat Q&A and realized it would probably be more suitable to post here...
Are there any immersion/intensive Chinese language classes happening during the Spring Festival holiday? I know it's a public holiday, but if such a class exists or if there is a school willing to build such a class at reasonable cost, or if you are a Mandarin beginner who would be interested in taking an immersion class with me during this week, then please reply to this thread. I'm looking for an all day class starting around January 23 and going for about 5 days.

When he approaches an unfamiliar mountain or rock face, Conrad Anker says he sometimes feels intimidated. That's surprising, coming from a man who's conquered many of the world's most difficult climbs: Everest (three times, once without supplemental oxygen), El Capitan in Yosemite, all three peaks of the Cerro Torre mountains in Patagonia and, perhaps most notably, the first ascent of the Shark's Fin on Mt. Meru — a climb that was previously thought to be impossible, and has not yet been repeated — among dozens of other astounding ascents.
Any apprehension that Anker has about summiting a new peak or climbing a new route, however, eventually fades once he has taken a step back to gather himself and consider a few key things. He studies the rock. He identifies the holds. He draws a map. He says to himself, "OK, it's been done before — it's not that bad." And then he climbs high, gracefully and free of inhibition, toward his goal. You, too, can climb like the greatest living mountaineer — all you need is some climbing gear, a healthy amount of ambition and a few useful tips from the man himself.
Yosemite Decimal Rating System
5.0-5.4: Basically just a steep ramp. Plenty of good holds. Nothing crazy.
5.5-5.7: This is where most first-time climbers begin. Holds are big and jug-like, spaced out like rungs on a ladder.
5.8: Holds are getting smaller now.
5.9: This is a good starting point for people who exercise regularly. Not too difficult, nor too easy. Likely a few tricky moves that require some ingenuity.
5.10 (a, b, c, d): Here's where the men and women are separated from the boys and girls. Holds are scarce, and most of them are about the size of your fist. The route likely has an overhang, a beyond-vertical angle all the way up, or both. The letters indicate relative difficulty — for example, a 5.10a is closer to a 5.9, whereas a 5.10d is closer to a 5.11.
5.11 (a, b, c, d): Every climber remembers their first 5.11. Achieving this takes serious dedication and plenty of hours spent shredding your hands in the climbing gym. Holds are either tiny or frustratingly slippery, and often require awkward contortions of the body to reach. Overhangs are often brutally steep.
5.12 (a, b, c, d): Basically a 5.11, but with steeper overhangs and smaller holds.
5.13 (a, b, c, d): This is where the pros like to hang out and hone their skills. Yet even for them (or most of them, at least), a 5.13 can be a real bastard.
5.14 (a, b, c, d): Conquer one of these, and you'll become a world-famous climber. Red Bull will probably contact you about a sponsorship. Ascending rock, just for the fun of it, is now your full-time job.
5.15a: The hardest climb in the world. If you successfully climb a 5.15a, either you're a) Chris Sharma, or b) a mountain goat with suction cups for hooves.


text: The Hood River Middle School science and music addition is a Platinum LEED certified project designed as a hands-on learning laboratory, where students interact with the site's resource systems. GreenWorks worked closely with teachers and the school principal to design a site that meets school needs while utilizing a small ecological footprint. Resource system information, such as onsite rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment and solar power generation, is tracked and fed to a central dashboard where students monitor the buildings' resource flows. In the native plant arboretum, each student is responsible for a plant that they care for, water, measure and observe throughout the seasons. The learning garden is an ever-changing canvas, which provides harvests enjoyed by students and the community. Students harvest and sell the produce at the local farmers market and learn permaculture principles in the multisensory, food forest where they grow and harvest plants for food, fiber, dye and other uses. A covered bike shelter and recycling shed provide appropriate space for the school to continue sustainable practices. Outdoor gathering spaces around the building create room for impromptu gatherings, concerts, music practice, harvesting and relaxing. GreenWorks' services included schematic design, construction documents, specifications, LEED documentation, bidding assistance and construction administration.

What's Your Selfie Technique?
Oh, don't pretend like you don't have one!
I love xoVain and I hope you can help. My boyfriend and I have been together for four years now, and we're building a future together. His mother is traveling to visit us in the next few weeks and I am FREAKED OUT to meet her for the first time! What am I meant to do with my hair and makeup? I want to make a good impression and show her that I'm good enough to marry her son. What should I do, beauty-wise, when I meet my future mother-in-law for the first time?
Angela Lansbury
Meeting the parents of your significant other is always a nerve-wracking experience, because no matter how confident you are, it always feels a like a high-stakes job interview. And I don't think anyone actually likes job interviews.
However, you can also find strength in that feeling. If you were interviewing for your dream job, you would probably want to present yourself as the best, most put-together version of yourself that you could. You would want your makeup to be well-applied and striking, but not overpowering. You would want to wear your hair in a way that suits you and makes you feel your most confident and beautiful. Your entire beauty philosophy would be YOU, turned up to 11. And I think that's the approach that you should take here when you meet the parents.
Because that's the most important thing: you have to be yourself, right down to your beauty game. The parents of your partner will likely be in your life for a long time, so if you're putting on an act, at some point in the future it's going to get some cracks in it. Maybe you can pretend to be someone you're not for a little while... but for an entire lifetime? No way. Talk about exhausting.
Finding that balance between being appropriate and being yourself can be tricky. So how can you maintain YOUR look while also impressing the heck out of the family?
Do your research.
My mum loves when I wear really, really bright red lipstick. She's never really explained why, but when we go see a movie or go out to lunch, chances are that my lips are going to be furiously red.
I like red lipstick just fine, but in my normal life I prefer shades in the pink family. I wear it for her, because it makes her happy and it's a good way to show that I love her.
Obviously. I am not telling you to wear makeup that you'd never, ever wear to make someone else happy. But if you know that your future mother in law likes a pop of colour, why not find a pop that suits you and wear it to meet her?
Consider the occasion.
Full-on nighttime smoky eyes might not be appropriate for a casual brunch. You should definitely have multiple looks in your arsenal--something glamourous for the theatre, something good for dinner, something casual for daytime. This is especially important if the parents (or you) are travelling to meet up, because odds are there will be multiple meetings, and you will need multiple looks.
Don't look too far afield.
If you have a signature look, don't abandon it! Think instead about ways that you can alter it for maximum impact. I love a giant dark cat eye, but that can really pull focus from ME and put it on my makeup instead. I don't want that. A very thin line for liquid eyeliner along my top lashline gives me the look that I love without being distracting.
Likewise, I am all about the boldest, pinkest lip colours money can buy... but that's not always the right thing to wear. Instead, I might wear a bright yet mature colour, like Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain in Smitten.
This is SUCH a flattering colour on everyone--it reads as fun yet mature and put-together, and it's never stuffy. Plus it makes me happy, and I'm always more myself when I'm happy.
Don't make any big changes.
I know the temptation to cut anxiety bangs the day before a big event, but you have to fight it. Now is not the time to try a pixie for the first time since you were seven, nor the time to suddenly go blonde. Stick to what you have going on right now, simply because it's a known quantity. Even the best haircuts in the world have an adjustment period, and feeling additionally uncomfortable while meeting in-laws has got to be the worst feeling in the world.
So if you're trimming your hair, getting your colour touched up or getting your brows done, schedule it for the week before. No bang cuts the day of. Don't try a self-tanner or a major facial for the first time in your life. Maintain!
Keep it simple.
This is the most important thing. I LOVE an over the top makeup look like you would not believe, but there's a time and place to deploy it. Meeting in-laws for the first time is not the occasion for neon-green eyelashes and glitter galore, because much as I hate to say it, sometimes that can come off as distracting. Keep it simple and well-executed, and let the focus stay on all the wonderfully clever things that come out of your mouth, rather than the colours that you can put on it.
This is also helpful for you, too. I know when I'm nervous, my makeup skills drop down to around kindergarten level. When under the gun, it's far easier to pull off a simple look than one that requires a lot of fussing. So really this is a win-win!
My "simple" look would look something like this: skin perfected, cheeks rosy and slightly highlighted (I may skip this altogether, depending on the occasion), eyeshadow neutral, eyeliner minimal, brows defined, lips rosy but not too obtrusive.
If I need to make this look fancier, I can add some more eyeliner or some darker eyeshadow. It's very versatile!
When it comes to hair, a lot will depend on what you like and the type of hair that you have. So long as it's neat and well cared for, you're likely going to be fine.
If I were wearing my hair down, I would straighten it. That's a much more low-maintenance style for me that wearing it curly or wavy, plus it makes it look extrashiny. If I were wearing it up, I'd pull it back in a low ponytail with a tortoiseshell clip, which always looks chic, or I'd wrap a little bit of hair around the elastic. These are little things that always make you look like you've made an effort.
Meeting parents can be really stressful, but also really exciting! Just remember that this isn't about proving that you're "good enough" to marry someone; of course you're good enough--you're freaking awesome. This is about parents meeting the person who makes their child happier than any other. If you show them even half of how amazing you are, they're going to love you just as much as your partner does. I'm sure of it.
Yay! Guys, I so love hearing from you. Drop me a line if you have a question you'd like to see answered in a future beauty advice column! I'm on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
What's your go-to meet-the-parents beauty style? Does anyone have any fun/amazing/embarrassing stories about the first time they met their in-laws?

A Passion for Fragrance since the 1700s
We owe much to the skill and expertise of master perfumers. Our story began in the 1700s when Count Orlof, a member of the wealthy Russian aristocracy, asked a London perfume house to create a fragrance that captured the distinctive aroma and atmosphere of the Russian Court.
The perfume house crafted a distinctive fragrance, by blending a symphony of ingredients, including Turkish Rose, Lavender, Cumin and Precious Amber. The fragrance was called 'Eau de Cologne Imperiale Russe'.
After the scent came into the ownership of Cussons, it was chosen as the signature fragrance for the launch of a new soap brand called Imperial Leather.
That the fragrance continues to be used to this day, more than 240 years after it was created, is a testament to the skill of the perfumers who originally developed it.
Our Expertise
Over the decades, we have continued to develop new fragrances with our team of perfumers, to ensure that all of our products are always at their fragrant best. A little known fact about Imperial Leather, is that out of the 10 acknowledged perfumers in the country, 2 of them are employed by us - helping to ensure that everybody can enjoy the exquisite fragrances, found in our shower, bath, handwash and bar soap products, every day.

Ask any person about their success and they will flood your ears with their failures, and with their bad ideas that spawned new ideas. The consistent message you will get is that success does not come overnight and that you have to be willing to try new approaches. Obviously, that statement is a weather-beaten cliché. But for Dr. Chris Villanueva, those tried and true clichés are not only a part of the path behind him but also the path he walks every day. Read more on crunchbase.com to know more about Dr. Chris Villanueva.
A Fresh Young Face with an Innovative Approach
MB2 Dental was founded by Dr. Chris Villanueva as a fresh new approach to all aspects the dental practice. In pretty much any industry certain conventions become incumbent and over time stale; not allowing for any growth or even any room for new ideas. Many times "the old guard" scoffs at the new generation of entrepreneurs. Villanueva did an interview with Ideamensch in which he talked about some of the factors that led to the creation of MB2 Dental.
- Limited choices out of College
- A Bureaucracy that impeded the practice
- Negative effects on patients
- A desire to create something new and innovative
"I had the idea to create a model where you get the best of both worlds – so came MB2. We put doctors, and therefore patients, first…period."
—Dr. Chris Steven Villanueva
No CEO Horror Stories Here
Villanueva is meticulous and consistent in doing things differently. There is no shortage of stories about callous and egotistical CEOs throughout the corporate world. At MB2 Dental, Villanueva has made collaboration and free flowing lines of communication a must. He explained in his interview how too many CEOs want to control everything and make every decision rather than surround themselves with smart motivated individuals and get out of their way. Provide the inspiration and direction. Read more articles on crossroadstoday.com.
The doctor did not shy away from talking about his failures. He briefly recapped his failed pizza business near one of his offices. But always keeping a positive outlook he learned from the experience and is still touting the brilliance of his jalapeno and pepperoni recipe.
I would encourage anyone to read the brutally honest interview. In addition, another article and podcast are available on the Epodcastnetwork.com. Where you can listen absolutely free to Dr. Chris Villanueva cover much of the same information outlining the clear goals of MB2 Dental. In the years to come perhaps the philosophy and practices of MB2 Dental will become widespread; benefitting patients and practitioners.

Wireless charging isn't really anything too terribly cutting edge. Qi Adapters have been around for a year or two, and are available for a plethora of devices. Now, however, Sony is aiming to make wireless charging faster – much faster. As in, about an hour for a full charge.
Sony's new wireless charging unit, which is based off of a new version of the Qi standard, is said to wirelessly transfer power at 10 to 15 watts. This ultimately cuts the charge time for most devices down to – you guessed it – approximately an hour.
While there is some concern about rocking that much power in a wireless transfer causing combustion, Rohm – a chip and power company involved in the new device – says that their chips are more than ready to handle the load.
The new family of chargers are set to hit Xperia phones in the second half of 2014.

The Reinvention
Over the years, there have been occasions where I've metamorphosed into persons (or personas) via an organic naturally occuring manner, induced from the situations that I've been placed in, such as the passing of your beloved parent, the adaptation of a new job role or even as simple as the act of falling head over heels in love.
Nevertheless, I managed to grow along the way and am thoroughly grateful and fortunate that these developments have carried me forward into territories where I otherwise could never have imagined.
From an ambitiously carefree Bukit Panjang Secondary student to a gratuitous Designer in a nascent company to a pedigree full-fledged Production Manager, there is truly one very simple and honest thing in common — bloody damn hard-work.
Friends and families on the outside will only get to view the me that's mildly successful, the overly cheerful and one that's able to tackle anything, anywhere. Only a few will get the chance to take a peek into the deeper layers of my life, the one that's full of struggles, inconsistencies, fears and tears.
Lately, I've had the fortunate opportunity of creating something new — and I love creating and developing new things. This is something that I believe I truly excel at, and have thoroughly enjoyed working and spending my days.
And as September 2016 creeps closer towards October 2016, it is now time to realise that I am nearing a crescendo of hard work, of pain and struggles as well as immense pleasures.
As it is now, It's nigh time for me to reinvent myself and my future.
The future is amazing.

This Side – Nickel Creek
Sugar Hill Records 3941
Nickel Creek's latest release can be epitomized in one word:
experimentation. On previous releases, the band crafted blithe
instrumentals, often caring little for the textures and placement of words.
At times, the trio's virtuosity weighed down their Sugar Hill debut, as
flummoxing technical flair trammeled the disc's cohesiveness, much like past
newgrass releases. Despite the publicity, the album's notoriety primarily
came from two tracks, "The Lighthouse's Tale," and Tim O'Brien's "When You
Come Back Down", where – under Alison Krauss's guidance – the group
conflated melodic emotionality with lyrical content.
The success of both tracks likely offered the group a succinct epiphany:
great songs, not jaw-dropping playing, garners critical acclaim. As a
result, the band began to examine the music they considered cathartic, often
imbued with emotion both lyrically and instrumentally. Influences as
disparate as Radiohead, Dave Matthews, Travis, Wilco, Coldplay, Murray
Perahia, J.S. Bach, Brahms and Bartok offered the trio a contingent
vocabulary for expressing more sophisticated issues.
Sophistication can often be synonymous with maturation. More than any other
permutation, the passage of three years has allowed the trio to learn about
the tedious tasks associated with introspective songwriting. In a recent
interview about Nickel Creek's previous release, Alison Krauss reminisced
about "asking the band if they had any songs about love or tragedy, and they
just looked at [her] somewhat shocked". This made the eponymous debut
somewhat problematic: the inexorable blithe elements detracted from the
brief moments of introspection. Some would even claim that those moments of
maturity on the first album were forced as the trio tackled another writer's
analysis of coeno-literary themes.
In contrast, This Side explores more murky conflicts through the
group's collective perspective. When, on "The Beauty and the Mess", Sara
Watkins sings about the desperate loneliness of the concert crowds, and
their concern for "beauty" and not the personal "mess", listeners are
offered a brief glimpse into the members' lives. Criticism might be
appropriate for some financially beneficial musicians bemoaning their
existence, but – as listeners – it offers a modicum of realism to the
lyricism. Later in the piece, when Watkins sings, "when I play, I say
everything I wish I could verbalize", the band quickly eschews complaining
and instead examines musical theory. Lyrics and music are a more immediate
means of communication then the emotionless confines of everyday human
contact. Our world's languid situations, devoid of intellectual interaction,
can only be usurped through "melody and a band's musical conversations," as
Brad Mehldau might state. The occurrence of such an analysis of Nickel
Creek's lyrics represents an enormous advancement, however they are
Melody and the pertinent combination with such sophisticated lyricism
supplies This Side with the redolence of pop music's great albums.
When Chris Thile chants Stephen Malkmus's "Spit On a Stranger," swirling
feedback and distorted vocals result in a psychedelic performance which
could have been an outtake from Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The
Malkmus cover epitomizes the band's appreciation for sonic ambience and the
plausible cohesiveness attainable through such an ideology. Apropos to
Wilco's musical constructions, Thile writes:
All of the gloriously unexpected hums, howls, and static might have been
an afterthought, but as I become more and more familiar with every moment it
becomes increasingly clear that the sounds, many of which emanate from the
band's keyboard specialist, Leroy Bach, are every bit as much a part of each
song as the words or the melody. There is always something to listen to, and
though on some records that means that the elements of a track are jostling
each other for aural attention, every single sound on Yankee Hotel
Foxtrot is there to increase understanding and overall enjoyment of a
song and/or the album as a whole.
Reflecting Thile's commentary, a rather banal Beatles rhythm and melody
receives a pre-chorus Bartok-inspired string quartet arrangement on
"Should've Known Better" The string quartet interlude has two conspicuous
qualities: sounding both dissonant and harmonically mellifluous. For the
listener, the interlude's duality unites as the string quartet agglomerates
perfidious melodic expectations with the song's. With the melody perfectly
matching the lyrics, the references to Wilco become adequate, as Nickel
Creek has finally accomplished what Wilco spent nine years to achieve.
A sense of irony also envelops Thile's adoration of Wilco. Inspecting the
midwest band's timeline, the Tweedy-led group moved deftly from country, to
Byrds/Rolling Stones inspired-pop, to eventually reach their current mixture
of Brian Wilson melodies and avant-garde whimsies. With each release, Wilco
dramatically changed, often departing to other musical notions before the
critics delineated appropriate compartmentalization for the band. Maybe
Nickel Creek has followed a similar modus operandi: to expand on their own
muse with no concern for the marketing processes. While the music references
modernity's most beloved acts, the originality permeating from This
Side makes the release more than an irrelevant collection of bluegrass
virtuosi tackling another album brimming with excessive improvisations.
Transcendence might be too bombastic a term to describe Nickel Creek's new
experimental focus; then again, no other term seems more germane.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2 1/2-quart ovenproof bowl and two 8-inch-round cake pans with cooking spray. Beat the cake mix, eggs, buttermilk and vegetable oil in a large bowl with a mixer.
Divide the batter among the bowl and pans; bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 25 minutes for the pans and about 45 minutes for the bowl. Cool in the pans 15 minutes, then unmold onto racks.
Make the lettuce: Sprinkle some green or white sugar on a cutting board. Roll out the spearmint candies to 1/8 inch thick with a rolling pin, sprinkling with more sugar to keep the candies from sticking.
Cut each flattened gummy piece into 3 strips. Fold each strip accordion-style to make ruffles; pinch the ends together.
Make the cheese: Roll out the orange fondant on a cornstarch-dusted surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Trim the fondant into a 7-inch square; cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
Trim the top of 1 round cake and the flat side of the bowl cake to make them level; crumble the trimmings. Mix the vanilla frosting, 4 tablespoons chocolate frosting and the yellow and red food coloring in a bowl to make a light brown frosting.
Make the bottom bun: Put the trimmed round cake on a serving plate or cake board. Frost with some of the light brown frosting. Arrange the gummy-candy ruffles around the edge of the cake.
Make the patty: Spread the remaining chocolate frosting over the top and sides of the untrimmed round cake. Press the crumbled cake trimmings into the frosting.
Assemble the burger: Put the chocolate patty on the bottom bun, then drape the orange fondant on top. Frost the bowl-shaped cake with the remaining light brown frosting; place on the patty. Press the rice cereal into the frosting.

Development Alternatives (DA) is committed to creating climate change awareness and communicating the need to build resilience against climate change, for marginalised communities in the Bundelkhand region of Central India. The rural poor and indigenous people are most vulnerable and adversely affected by the consequences of climate change. These poor and vulnerable are least able to cope up with or voice out their stresses related to climate change. Moreover, sustainable development efforts related to climate change adaptation and mitigation have been limited at the local and grassroots level. In Bundelkhand, these have been particularly low. Communities in such vulnerable regions need strategies to adapt to climate change.
DA projects have led to new and effective solutions for tackling the problem of trafficking of women (later adopted by UNDP and USAID), minimising the health hazards of pollution caused by mining and quarrying operations, and creating new job opportunities for people in communities stressed by growing resource scarcities.
Over the years, more than a dozen projects on resource management practices of indigenous people have been undertaken, with particular reference to common property resource management systems.
Sustainable Civil Society Initiative to address Global Environmental Challenges (SCSI)
The project attempt to influence vulnerable communities, local administration and facilitating agencies in the public sector towards development to enhance the adaptive capacities of communities. The initiative has promoted efficient resource use and enhanced incomes for small and marginal farmers, women and building artisans...
Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP-Niwari) in the Niwari of Madhya Pradesh
Enhancement of agricultural productivity using watershed technology and building community partnerships for management of water resources...
Development of WADI (Agri-Horti based livelihood) among Sahariya tribal families in Babina Block of Jhansi District of Bundelkhand Region in U.P
The objective of the project was to improve the quality of life of 500 Sahariya tribe families by strengthening their livelihoods through implementation of the WADI concept.
International NGO work is crucial in campaigns that mobilize citizens at the community and national levels. Currently, NGOs are critical contributors in global efforts to achieve the UNs Millennium Development Goals.
