Why require Justice to be blind to passions? The standard model of jurisprudence offers two lines of answers: (1) Justice is about formal rationality and judging is essentially reason-giving, while emotions are irrational feelings, so justice is thus blind to passions; (2) Justice ought to be predictable to live up to the rule of law and judges should strive towards impartiality, while passions obscures judgment and instigates prejudice and partiality, so justice should thus be blind to passions, lest it decays into its very opposite. Mainstream jurisprudence also incorporates two major lines of attack against these claims: (3) Detractors argue against (1) that law suffers from indeterminacy and judges from breakfast biases; (4) detractors argue against (2) that equity requires practical reasoning when not empathy, mitigating the rigour of the law. These opinions are all grounded on specific, but often uncritically assumed, accounts of emotion. While (1), (2) and (3) are rooted in an irrationalist approach to emotion; (4) stems from a cognitivist approach to emotion. Both of these approaches are problematic. This paper attempts to shed light on the underlying accounts of emotion and highlights some problematic aspects of them. No matter if you defend (1)-(4), jurisprudents today need a better grasp on emotion in law.

It should really say joining the VERY fortunate few.
Lan Bui and I have a Canon C300 on loan.
It arrived on Friday and we will be putting it thorough its paces over the next few days.
So many things to try, so little time.
You can see our very first impressions of what promises to be a truly remarkable camera.
I say promises as we have not had chance to shoot anything just yet.
We will be shooting a couple of shorts and running some tests too.
In fact we have to get back to that...right now.
Please do ask any questions and we will do our very best to answer them.

A pregnant pause is a momentary stillness laden with significance. It is rich, prolific, provocative, wow. It is a threshold for ideas and can translate into one to one thousand emotions. It welcomes imagination and brims with untold possibilities. Sometimes, it is even pinched with humor. Life's most unforgettable moments are highlighted by pregnant pauses. Now, I gladly share with you mine.

Prominent jailed reformist Mostafa Tajzadeh has been sentenced in absentia to another year in prison. Kaleme reports that Tajzadeh has been confronted with new charges of "propaganda against the regime by writing letters to Ayatollah Khamenei Leader of the Islamic Republic from inside prison."
Mostafa Tajzadeh with his wife Fakhrolsaadat Mohtashamipour
Tajazadeh, who had announced that he would only appear in an open and official court to face any charges, did not appear at the court that sentenced him to another year in prison.
Tajzadeh was arrested following the controversial 2009 presidential election in the wave of arrests of reformist figures and was sentenced to six years in jail for "assembly and collusion to disturb national security and propaganda against the regime."

Warne skips Big Bash in hope of a UK White Christmas
The Big Bash League's marquee player Shane Warne will miss the Melbourne Stars clash with the Adelaide Strikers after travelling to the UK for Christmas.
The Stars sent a press release late on Christmas Eve saying that their captain had "pre-existing commitments in the United Kingdom" and would miss the match scheduled for Thursday December 27.
Warne made no secret of his location announcing on twitter: "Am spending my first Christmas away from Melbourne in 43 years I was hoping for a white Christmas in the UK & build snowmen too - sob !!! X".
It has been widely reported that part of Warne's contract to play in the Big Bash League has been funded directly by Cricket Australia. Neither CA nor the South Australian Cricket Association has commented on Warne missing the match in Adelaide where a large crowd is expected.
Former Stars captain Cameron White will take the reigns for the important clash with the Strikers, in which either side could all but sure up a semi-final berth.
"It was something that was pre-arranged I think," White said about Warne's absence.
"It is something that the team always knew was going to happen. He's actually bowling quite well at the moment. But the team is very comfortable with the situation."
The two teams enter the match in fantastic form. The Strikers thumped the Sixers by nine wickets in Adelaide last Sunday to notch their third win of the tournament. Their attack featured three spinners in Johan Botha, Cameron Boyce and Brad Young, as well as the express pace of Shaun Tait.
The Stars have their own firebrand, the form bowler of the tournament Lasith Malinga. But in Warne's absence the spin duties will be left to the part-timers of White, David Hussey, and Glenn Maxwell, unless they select the inexperienced left-arm orthodox bowler Clive Rose. The Stars will get Luke Wright back from international duties with England.
Shane Warne is scheduled to return for the Stars match with the Brisbane Heat on January 3.

Here are the Tulare County boys and girls soccer rankings:
1. Monache (3-0, 13-2): The Marauders took control of the East Yosemite League race with a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Delano on Tuesday.
2. Farmersville (2-0, 13-3-1): The Aztecs began defense of their East Sierra League title with a pair of victories.
3. Golden West (6-0, 13-2-1): An exhilarating 5-4 overtime victory over El Diamante put the Trailblazers in prime position to repeat as West Yosemite League champions.
4. El Diamante (5-1, 11-4-2): The Miners have nothing to hang their heads about after their stunning loss to the Trailblazers. They still control their own destiny as they look for their first WYL title.
5. Orosi (2-0, 13-0-3): The mistake has been cleared up. The Cardinals two losses previously reported came in penalty kicks in tournament games. Those losses officially go down in the record books as ties. An East Sierra League showdown against Farmersville is Friday in Orosi.
1. Tulare Union (3-0, 11-6-3): The Redskins needed overtime to beat Porterville, but they remained perfect in East Yosemite League play.
2. Redwood (5-1, 14-4-1): The Rangers had their hands full against Mt. Whitney, but they pulled out the win to finish the first half of the WYL season tied for first place.
3. Tulare Western (3-0, 11-2-2): The Mustangs passed their first true test in EYL play with a 3-2 win over crosstown rival Mission Oak earlier this week.
4. Mission Oak (2-1, 8-5-2): The Hawks lost a close one to Tulare Western earlier this week. A couple of bounces and close calls the other way and the score easily could have been reversed. Should be interesting to see how they bounce back.
5. Mt. Whitney (4-2, 9-6-1): The Pioneers finished the first half of WYL play with a tough loss against Redwood. The Pioneers are still in the mix for a league title.
*Records are based on those reported to MaxPreps.com by Jan. 17.

Fallen Patriots celebrates "Hug a GI Day"
Mar 7, 2016
Send a Virtual Hug to Gold Star Children Who Don't Have Their Parent to Hug Anymore
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Hug a GI Day today, Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, (Fallen Patriots), a nonprofit that provides educational counseling and college scholarships for military children who've lost a parent in the line of duty, is collecting "virtual hugs" in the form of donations. Over 97% of those killed in action are men, leaving mothers, who earn on average less than $50,000 per year, with the financial responsibilities of raising a family. Donors can text "College" to 31996 to make a contribution.
Fallen Patriots has identified over 6,000 students who qualify for financial assistance, and they have helped over 600 scholars attend and graduate from some of the top universities in the country. However, there's approximately 14,000 more children that could use Fallen Patriots help, if they only knew about them.
For some, Hug a GI Day is a celebration of their loved soldier being home from deployment. For others, it is a time to celebrate soldiers who have sacrificed their safety for our protection. Gold Star military children have endured the ultimate sacrifice, not having a parent to hug.
Fallen Patriot scholar Brandi Anderson was only seven when her dad, Michael Charles Anderson, was killed by a mortar launched at his camp in Iraq.
"I miss my dad most when I go to a wedding, imagine getting married and not having my dad walk me down the aisle to give me away," explained Anderson. "It's times like these that his death becomes more prevalent to me and I understand to a fuller degree just what missing him is."
Brandi Anderson has a collection of hugs with her dad through the memories she holds in photographs. Though ordinary to most, she no longer has her dad to hug. His memory stays alive in her heart. Fallen Patriots is asking for followers to send virtual hugs to students like Brandi, by making a small donation.
About Fallen Patriots
Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation honors the sacrifices of military heroes by ensuring the success of their children through college education. Since 2002, Children of Fallen Patriots has provided more than $10 million in total assistance.

So, if someone were to ask me to think of two of the healthiest vegetables possible, it would be hard to narrow it down, but I can guarantee you that rutabaga and broccoli would be on the top of my list of possibilities! Check out the following pins giving good reason as to why these two veggies are two of my favorites!
See? Told ya so! 🙂 Anyway, with this in mind, I wanted to find a side that included these two delightful veggies. I've shared my recipe for mashed rutabaga before…after thinking about it, I figured, why not add in some broccoli and top it with a bit of shredded goat cheese and plain yogurt – best. decision. ever.
This stuff is REALLY yummy, and you just saw how packed with nutrients it is! Best part is that it is super easy to make! Let's get to it!
- 1 rutabaga, washed, peeled, and chopped into cubes
- 1 large bunch of broccoli, cut into florets
- garlic granules
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, plus more for topping
- hard goat cheese for shredding
- sea salt and pepper, to taste
1.) Cover the rutabaga with water in a saucepan. Place over high heat and boil until very tender, about 10-15 minutes. While doing this, steam the broccoli in a steamer until tender.
2.) Place the cooked rutabaga and broccoli into a food processor. Add garlic granules (to taste) and 1/2 cup of plain yogurt. Process on high until it reaches your desired consistency.
3.) Transfer to a bowl, and top with shredded goat cheese and a dollop of plain yogurt.
Yum yum yum! Makes for a perfect lunch, or as a side dish paired with a baked chicken breast for dinner. Enjoy! 🙂

It's been a year since 20 children and 6 educators lost their lives at Sandy Hook Elementary school.
But what have we accomplished in that year?
We have spent an incredible amount of time and an incredible amount of money to make our schools safe, yet we the threat of violence is very real.
The tragedies at Sandy Hook, Chardon, Red Lake, Virginia Tech and Columbine can't have been in vain.
It's imperative that we all work together: educators, parents, legislators, students, and first responders.
We have to learn from these past events and equip educators and stakeholders with the tools and training to respond to crises.
We have to make the small shifts that can make our schools safer without turning them into prisons.
We have to work to prevent violence in our schools: to identify, assess and manage those who are risk for violence against themselves or others.
We have to stop wasting time and money searching for a "quick fix" : buying security systems, arming teachers, bullet-proof school equipment, taking away all the guns, mandating ineffective drills.
We have to do the difficult work of implementing comprehensive, evidence-based, systemic changes that can help keep our students safe from all hazards.
We have to collaborate and figure this out-our children's lives depend on it.

Hitch #5 Blog Post by Jesse Bergeson - Powell Trails Liaison
The Selway intern crew spent their final field days working the beautiful Walton Lakes Trail. We are happy to report that the trail is clear from the Walton Lake TH all the way to Savage pass. They were lucky to have beautiful fall-like weather while they cleared fallen trees in this lovely (unburned) area.
The crew was not alone as they enjoyed warm sun, they also witnessed a marmot defend his rock crag home with high pitched chirps and warning calls. The lakes are a popular overnight trip or day hike for fishing.
Huckleberries can still be found if you know where to look, with some green ones still on their way to sweetness.
Get out and explore the area during this great time of year!

With a tape-delayed televised Ohio State vs. Penn State football game playing and the smell of Texas BBQ in the air, OSU's Mainland China alumni club met this past weekend for its inaugural event at a Shanghai restaurant.
The group calls itself "Buckeyes in China," and already numbers more than 100 people. Together, they hope, to boost cooperation between Ohio and Chinese businesses.
"Our members are located in several Mainland China cities, including the most popular business, education and travel centers of Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou," said Robert Benedetti, an '82 OSU grad and alumni chapter organizer.
Buckeye sporting-event gathering, often called "game-watch" is a staple for OSU alums worldwide, said Kimberly Lowe, director of OSU Alumni Clubs.
"We're excited to add Mainland China to our family of more than 400,000 alumni and 225 clubs around the world," Lowe said. "Asia and China in particular, is an important organizing region for us. And we expect it to grow into one of our largest clubs in the Far East."

Dianne Blell is a New York based photographer specializing in mythology and subjective reality photography. She received her BFA and MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She has been exhibiting her work since the 1970s and received the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, and several other awards.
Blell's work concerns stories of love, relationships, and intimacy, more specifically the compelling forces of yearning, desire, and the romantic pursuit of "ideal" love. Her most recent series, "Desire for the Intimate Deity," investigates the universality of the idealized stages of courtship in the socio-ethnic and religious based mythology of Hindu folklore. She uses Rada and Krishna as her central characters, whom, in the pursuit of love, represent mythological archetypes of the human condition. Blell's narratives also portray the lovers' search for the ideal union with the divine. They are consciously styled after Moghul miniature paintings, and the models and locations are familiar to those who know traditional Indian paintings.
Blell's photographic narratives are produced, designed, painted, and constructed in the studio. She paints the sets, costumes the models, and builds the stages. The background sets and the subjects are photographed separately in large format 4x5 film and then elaborately assembled on her desktop into final compositions. The series of Rada and Krishna stories has been a project that has taken ten years to realize.

The Grool is the main villain in the thirtieth Goosebumps book, It Came from Beneath the Sink!
This horrid creature is frightening yet interesting. It is composed of spongy epidermis similar to that of a common household kitchen sponge. The Grool's texture, however, is much slimier as it produces bile through microscopic ducts controlled by a narrow but complex central nervous system.
This intriguing system varies from us humans in the sense that the Grool has neither a way nor cause for reproduction, digestion, or respiration. The tiny nerve synapses are kept far from each other in hopes that the creature will stay focused and attached to its original owner. This strange phenomenon is brought about through the oddities ability to send unbelievably powerful electric impulses outward, which in turn can confine a single person to a life or death symbiosis with the Grool.
This mutually assured destruction means that, if the Grool becomes separated from the owner at such a distance whereas the impulses are severed, its captive will die due to all loss of electrode brain function.
The Grool strangely feeds off misfortune which can actually be explained by the same nerve synapses aforementioned. These synapses collect data as energy basically like a photosynthetic computer and the conversion process occurs instantaneously.
The Grool's only weakness is collecting data interpreted as pleasant, as this causes an overload in production of serotonin, a toxic neurotransmitter which causes the beast to regress until it is as harmless as an average dish-washing sponge.
Grools basically dwell in damp caves deep within rainforests and some have even been spotted washed ashore by the tides of the Galapagos, of course causing havoc to those islands. Though they seem easily defeated, their ominous presence and abilities causes fear and anguish to be amplified by twenty three percent, reducing chances of defeat the more powerful it gets.

So Elisa (she's a fan of Masterchef + they had a 50% everything special for January only) dragged us to Richmond which is a few minutes outside of the CBD, passed by this long street of Vietnamese food that made me crave pho pretty badly and then to a somewhat remote location.
Something to share:
Pressed pork belly, roasted cauliflower puree, Japanese scallops $18
Although the cauliflower was far from being a puree, they just seemed a tad steamed before being put onto the fry pan. The scallops and pork belly however were relish, the pork, juicy, tender and yeah melt in mouth feeling. My only ask is to load that plate up with more pork belly.
Sweet corn and gruyere 'cigars', tomato relish $14
For something to be shared, it was a bit hard unless you're dining with two. Crispy pastry though, and the gruyere and sweet corn filling went well with the accompanying salad and tomato relish
Rotisserie 'du jour', cabbage and nashi pear salad, jus gras $35
I picked this one out from the menu (yeah trust me to go for the expensive option), when it arrived on the plate the waiter asked if I had order Moroccan chicken and I was thinking 'I clearly don't remember seeing that on the menu' so we clarified it by asking if the salad was correct which it was. The jus gras is the accompanying sauce or juice (jus is the French translation) reminded my mum of this medicinal tonic that I drink when I have the flu. I think I ended up being slightly afraid of the jus gras after she mentioned that
Ricotta and basil gnocchi, king brown mushroom, peas, porcini oil $25
I think that gnocci isn't really for, just a personal reason here mostly because I don't have a fond affection for a dish that is mostly cheese based but I am however a lover of fungi so the king mushrooms were definitely to my liking. It was also interesting to have king mushrooms cooked in a Western style dish because I've only had in done Asian
Didn't like how the menu was just a double sided piece of paper
Mango and macadamia "Bombe Alaska" $15
First ever bombe alaska and I must say that I am not a fan of meringues, fun and relatively easy to make just far too sweet even for my standards (I love my desserts), the rum sauce however did help

Hearing Tests
Hearing impairment affects more than just your ability to hear — it affects your quality of life. Hearing HealthCare, Inc. stresses the importance of an accurate and timely hearing test. The hearing evaluation is just the beginning of your treatment, and it's essential to setting your unique care plan in motion and taking action on hearing loss. Your in-depth hearing evaluation will help us craft a treatment plan that renews your ability to hear, allowing you to truly hear your best and live life on your terms.
Step One: The Interview
The interview process helps our providers determine the extent of your hearing impairment and aids us in uncovering any specific areas requiring further attention. Some typical questions you'll want to prepare for are:
- Has anyone else in your family had hearing problems?
- Have you had any illnesses or injuries that might have affected your hearing?
- Have you taken any medications that might have contributed to hearing impairment?
- Have you been exposed to loud noises in your workplace or while participating in leisure activities?
Step Two: The Examination
Our providers will take a close look inside your ear canal and figure out whether the hearing difficulty you are experiencing could be caused by an obstruction or damage to the ear canal or eardrum. We use a special instrument called an otoscope to inspect your outer ear and tympanic membrane (eardrum).
Step Three: Hearing Tests
Next we'll need to figure out the nature of your hearing loss. We will include the following hearing tests when deemed appropriate:
- Pure-tone testing to measure under headphones and bone conduction to determine your hearing sensitivity at various frequencies (pitches) in each ear. These results are mapped out on an audiogram (grid) depicting how loud (measured in decibels) you need the different frequencies in order for you to just hear them.
- A speech assessment to measure how well you understand ordinary words at comfortable listening levels
- Otoacoustic Emmissions (OAEs): OAEs evaluate the outer hair cells present in the inner part of the ear by measuring an echo that the hair cells produce when stimulated with sounds at various frequencies. If the hair cells are damaged or not present, they will not produce an echo.
- Immittance testing to measure how your eardrum and middle ear react to varying degrees of air pressure and sound pressure
- Acoustic Reflex Testing to further investigate the auditory pathways.
- Other various testing under headphones will be implemented when results suggest further diagnostic procedures are necessary.
While performing these tests, your results will be documented on an audiogram. An audiogram is created after you take a puretone hearing test to map out the type, degree, and configuration of your hearing. The audiogram is a picture of your hearing by frequency (pitch) and intensity (loudness). Frequencies are measured in Hertz (Hz), and the intensity is measured in decibels (dB). We will help determine whether you have trouble hearing low or high pitches and what that means for you moving forward.
Depending on the results of the hearing evaluation, we may determine a visit to an ENT or your primary care physician may be necessary to help further diagnose and treat your hearing.
Step Four: Treatment Options
Hearing Aids
If you have a hearing loss, we will discuss treatment options with you – which may include hearing aids. We will work with you to match your lifestyle needs with the appropriate technology, specifically designed to treat your unique hearing loss. The basic components of this instrument include a microphone, an amplifier, a receiver, and a tiny processor. The exceptional effectiveness of your devices is the result of a powerful combination of professional expertise, software, and hardware.
Surgery & Implants
We now have the ability to surgically insert devices into the ear to improve hearing, facilitate lip-reading, and make it easier to distinguish certain sounds. Typically, these are most helpful if you are deaf or profoundly hearing impaired and hearing aids are not a useful treatment for you. Surgical implants include:
- Cochlear implants
- Middle-ear implants
- Bone-anchored hearing aids
- Auditory brainstem implants
Frequently Asked Questions
• Feeling that people mumble
• Having to turn up the volume on television, telephone, or personal listening devices
• Trouble following conversations in busy venues (concerts, restaurants)

Malaria cases up 9 per cent in Ireland
Travellers advised to take precautions after increase in cases among African community
Anopheles mosquito - carrier of malaria: People born in western and central Africa who are resident in Ireland and then return to their country of origin with Irish-born children should be aware that their children have no innate immunity to malaria.
Long-haul travellers have been urged to take suitable precautions against malaria after new figures showed a 9 per cent increase in the incidence of the disease in Ireland.
There were 71 malaria cases here last year, compared to 65 in 2012. All appeared to have been imported by travellers returning from malarious regions of the world, particularly Africa.
Third highest in Europe
Ireland now has the third highest incidence of imported malaria in Europe, after the UK and Luxembourg, according to the HSE's Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC).
Men outnumbered women by 2:1 among cases reported, which included 12 children.
Almost half involved people visiting family in their country of origin, in particular Nigeria and other African countries.
But while the HPSC says the incidence is highest among people travelling to visit family, malaria prevention messages should also be targeted at tourists, business travellers and other travellers with little exposure to the disease.
Children at risk
It says children can be particularly at risk. People born in western and central Africa who are resident in Ireland and then return to their country of origin with Irish-born children should be aware that their children have no innate immunity to malaria, while their own immunity will have waned considerably.
These groups should take preventative medicine and take steps to avoid mosquito bites, according to the HPSC.
In a report published to coincide with World Malaria Day today, the HPSC says 28 of the 71 cases reported last year involved people born in Nigeria. Eleven relate to Irish-born patients while eight involved people born in other African countries.
In 2010, at least 660,000 people died of malaria.

A recent report released by the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources and the Executive Office of Commerce found that the clean energy sector added 613 jobs over the last 12 months, (for a total of 9,832 clean energy jobs). It also projected that another 1,600 energy efficiency and renewable energy related positions would be created over the next year.
The rate of job growth in the industry — 6.6 percent over the past year — easily outpaces the overall rate in Rhode Island of less than 1 percent for the same period, according to the report compiled by BW Research Partnership, a firm with offices in California and Massachusetts. It describes the industry's growth over the past year as "remarkable" because 40 percent of the companies in the sector only started offering clean energy services in the past five years.
"Our mission is getting people back to work and preparing them for the jobs of the 21st century economy," Governor Raimondo said in a statement. "Our clean energy economy growth is encouraging and represents a sector on the move."

Rural Spanish property and title deed issues
Title deeds, or the lack of them, are another big problem in rural areas. Barbara Wood of The Property Finders, a buyer's agent with many years of experience in rural Andalusia, says, "after more than a decade in the business I have yet to see a correct set of rural title deeds".
In the worst case title deeds don't even exist, which according to Wood is a no-go area for British buyers. "In rural Spain there are many legitimate claims to property that have never been formalised in notarised title deeds. Whilst it is possible to buy these properties British buyers would be biting off more than they could chew. Just walk away if there aren't any deeds".
More common, though, are title deeds that don't correspond to the amount of land being offered for sale, or that don't reflect the size or existence of a dwelling. It's usually possible to resolve these problems satisfactorily before buying, but once you have bought, the problems become yours, and vendors will have no incentive to help you resolve them. You need to identify title deed problems in good time – something many British buyers fail to do – and build the solution into the negotiations with the vendor. The golden rule when buying in rural areas is never buy until the title deeds are correct.

As per the title, this is a feature request to add the ability to join a "Skype meeting" or "Microsoft Teams meeting" from a Lifesize Cloud attached device. Today despite being able to call both to and from SfB (Skype for Business) users, it's not possible to join a Skype for Business or Microsoft Teams hosted meeting from a Lifesize Cloud device or client.
This capability is highly desirable for end-user customers who've chosen to utilise SfB or MS Teams as their preferred desktop UC client and wish to leverage the higher quality of experience provided by Lifesize meeting room systems. It's important for customers who wish to preserve the same workflow of creating a "Skype for Business" meeting invite via the Outlook add-in and inviting colleagues to join, or similar workflows in MS Teams irrespective of the client or device they'll be join the call with/from.
Another scenario is for customers who use Lifesize Cloud as their communication solution of choice, but have been invited to join a "Skype" or "MS Teams" meeting. Today the only option is to join via a web browser, despite having Lifesize Cloud clients or meeting room systems.
In both cases, offering the alternative of suggesting the customer joins a "Lifesize Cloud" meeting is not an acceptable option.

The Realities of a Life in Cuba
by Raea Palmieri
This past winter break I had the privilege to travel to Havana, Cuba. While I was getting ready for the trip, I was looking at pictures various celebrities posted from their trips like the Kardashians and Beyonce, but to my surprise, Cuba was nothing like what it was through their Instagram lenses.
The day we arrived in Havana, we got picked up from the single-terminal airport in a 1950's Chevy car. While pictures and stories tell of Cuba being filled with well kept, beautiful vintage cars, the reality of the situation is much more bleak. Starting the car and keeping it running for the duration of the drive to the hotel was a job in itself. Once we arrived at the hotel, excited to relax and shower, we were beginning to realize the realities of this trip. The "nicest" and "5-star" hotel in Havana was the American equivalent to a Motel 8. As we walked into the room and turned on the lights, the dirt-stained lamp shades, the faucet-less shower, the cockroaches scampering across the floor all mixed together made for a very interesting and uncomfortable first night.
The next day we packed our bags and decided to move to a bed in breakfast sort of place. Moving to stay at this home was a much more cultural and better way to experience Cuba. While it was still far from luxury and relaxing, anything was better than the Havana hotel that had not been renovated since 1970.
Traveling around the city of Havana during our days there was a once in a lifetime experience: the culture, the communism, and the people there are all nothing I have ever seen. Having our entire trip planned out for us, however, made it feel like we were being controlled at every moment—a feeling we were all unfamiliar with when being on a supposed "vacation." Despite our impression that we would be in control of our environment, the Cuban government made sure that was near impossible.
As we travelled through the city it was obvious that nothing was being upheld—every building was in transition to being a pile of rubble, if they weren't already. However, there were buildings and statues and memorials that were seemingly in perfect condition. These buildings were run by the government. Among these were the ballet, the capital building (ironically based on the capital building in Washington, DC), and monuments dedicated to Fidel Castro and the Revolution. Having immense pride in their few immaculate buildings and monuments, these were focal points during our tours of the city.
Looking back on this trip I am able to appreciate it for what it was: a cultural excursion. Having traveled and gone through my experiences, I am able to further understand the life in a very different government than we have in the United States. I have a greater sense of privilege, but I also feel very lucky to have the simple freedoms that we have in America. A moment that really struck me was when our guide, Duni, told us about his very young daughter and his aspirations for her life, a life in America. He proceeded to say, "I hope one day I will be able to say these words…I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America!" Hearing this from a man who was a relative stranger really opened my eyes to how many people in situations like his, in a country like Cuba, want a life like the one we take for granted every day.
Going to Cuba was extremely unique and unlike any place I have ever been, but having said that, I would not want to go back until the governmental power and structure changes.

FeedbackLoop Label suggests Landrecorder self-released album.
LISTEN / DOWNLOAD HERE: http://landrecorder.bandcamp.com/album/recordings-1-18
Self-Released by Landrecorder
Here's the sum of the last 12 months or so of my field recording and music making.
It's been inspired by growing up on the Solway Firth, by my new suburban life, by the domestic bliss of being a new parent, and by traveling away from home on the short trips I've had to take with work to France, Germany and Poland in the last few months.
There's mix of tunes old and new - many have appeared on my blog or on Soundcloud in various guises - and I hope you'll find something in there you enjoy.

This was a marvelous project pursued during 4 years. It had the main intention of providing listeners pleasure and tribute to the artist.
Available music in the web is a marvelous world to uncover. There are netlabels and record labels for all genres and you can find out there everything. Go and find them out.

Act Professional: What New Grads Need To Know Land A Job
By Susan Ricker
Congratulations on graduating and joining the workforce. Before you spend your first paycheck, start your new job off on the right foot by following these steps for acting professionally at work.
Organize your wardrobe
During the interview process, you probably got a glimpse of your future colleagues' work attire. If not, you can always email the hiring manager to ask about the dress code. What's appropriate to wear will vary by industry, company and region of the country. However, there are some basics for picking your outfits. You want to convey your professionalism and attention to detail. Skip anything stained, torn, baggy or tight, and instead opt for collared shirts or blouses paired with clean jeans, dress pants or skirts.
%VIRTUAL-hiringNow-topCity%Create your own social-media policy
To friend or not to friend? That is the question when it comes to your new work buddies. You already should have changed your social-media website settings to private and avoided posting any embarrassing profile pictures of keg stands or controversial status updates. If you've listed your new company on your profile pages, be respectful and find out if it has a policy about personal social-media use. Whether it's using websites while at work or mentioning your company in status update, you don't want to risk being fired over a Tweet. Adding work friends is up to you; most social-media sites have enough privacy options that you can add every type of friend and still be yourself.

Get on a schedule
After you determine your regular work hours, keep an eye on how long everybody actually stays. For the first couple of weeks, make sure you arrive punctually, and stay at least until the end of the day, unless your boss says you can leave earlier. Some days you may stay later than others, but pay attention to the office culture. Some companies are flexible about hours as long as the work gets completed on time, while others expect employees to punch in with time cards to keep track. Bottom line: Be punctual and professional about your work hours. Schedule your day if it helps your productivity, and give yourself enough time to get through your to-do list.
General tips
- Buy a daily planner or set up a calendar through your email or phone to help you stay organized.
- Don't show up late for meetings.
- Keep your cell phone on silent unless it's a work phone.
- Don't spend all your time texting or surfing the Internet.
- Don't bring a lunch that will leave behind a strong smell the rest of the day.
- Don't use sick days or take unplanned vacation days right after starting.
If you have questions, observe the behavior of your co-workers, and don't be afraid to ask somebody. No matter what, it'll never be OK to steal lunches from the staff lounge.

King's College Choir launches its own record label
King's College Choir is taking control of its recording output and launching its own record label. The first release under the new label will be Nine Lessons & Carols on 22 October 2012.
The Choir has released more than 100 albums with EMI and Decca, selling millions of copies worldwide. But its own label will give it unprecedented freedom to manage its recording portfolio.
The Director of Music, Stephen Cleobury, said: "I am delighted that this new development will allow the Choir to spread its wings in terms of recordings, which have been such an integral part of our life going back so many years.
"We will also be able to record more adventurous repertoire as well as bringing a fresh look at some of the most important pieces from the choral literature."
The Choir's first disc, Nine Lessons & Carols, will include traditional carols as well as commissioned carols by Mark-Anthony Turnage, Tansy Davies, Dominic Muldowney, Gabriel Jackson, Brett Dean and Einojuhani Rautavaara. It will also include a new work called All Bells in Paradise, which was especially written for the CD by the renowned choral composer John Rutter.
Nine Lessons & Carols will be available from The Shop at King's, all good record stores, and for digital download from 22 October 2012.
The second release on the new label will be Mozart's Requiem, which is planned for next spring. The recording will draw upon the best musical scholarship available, reflecting the College's role as a place of education, learning and research.

Ensure the Gala is for a Cure
Galas are terrific fund-raising events. They are fun to attend and raise tens of millions of dollars a year for type 1 diabetes.
Whether or not you plan on attending a gala, we all wish this money will be used to find a cure for T1D. However, in order to make sure that the money is used for T1D cure research, we need to take action.
Today, only a minority of funds raised at galas are actually used to fund research projects. Please see the infographic below.
Ensuring that your gift is used for research is as easy as speaking up. Email JDRF staff and or senior executives. Call the office. Write a note to event organizers. Print this infographic and bring it to your next JDRF event. Join us in helping to restore focus on cure research.

Hi all! As you may have realised I've been a bit absent from the blogging world for almost two months now! This is the longest I have gone without blogging since I started this blog actually! I have been super busy in my personal life (as well as having a nasty chest infection lasting 3 weeks 😦 *cries inside* ). Anyways, in those two months I have bought a wholllllle lotta make up and a copious amount of clothing so expect a lot of make up reviews, a few hauls and as always the OOTDs! I have missed blogging so much in these past two months but this break has given me so much inspiration for writing material. So let's get onto the important stuff!
Review of Urban Decay All Nighter Make Up Setting Spray
£22.00 from Urban Decay
I have only ever bought one product from Urban Decay – Naked 2 – the eye shadow palette. This palette has the best eye shadows I have ever owned in so I had pretty high expectations of this setting spray!
Usually for setting spray I just use normal hair spray which works okay(ish) but you know what it's like when you go into a department store and see all lovely products then get talking to the sales assistant about your mutual love for make up and BAM you leave with about ten bag fulls of make up – well this was one of those moments!
I never intended to purchase the setting spray but I am sure glad I did! Although £22.00 is a bit steep for a setting spray there is 118ml of product in the bottle. So it will take me at least a year to get through this which works out about £1.83 per month – so that doesn't seem so bad!
There is also a travel size mini one which will be great for those airport trips! There are three types of setting spray you can purchase : the oil control (for oily skin), the cooling and hydrating (for those with drier skin) and the all nighter (which is for any type skin).
I bought the all nighter setting spray.
Does my make up stay on well?
It is no joke when I tell you my make up stays on from morning until night! It is amazing! I read a review recently which went viral about a poor girl being dumped and crying and her make up being completely intact still. Literally this is the best product possible in my make up bag. I cannot praise this enough!
How do I apply it?
After your make up has been applied just spray your face with this product (you'll probably need to do about three to four sprays). It doesn't make your make run or look shiny at all. It dries pretty much instantly and you don't need to do anymore!
How much do you need to apply?
Not much at all – about four sprays max. This product (especially the larger bottle) will last you a long long time!
Would I rebuy this product?
100% yes! It is kind to my skin and keeps my make up in place for a long length of time!
Any tips for using it?
If you apply your mascara last (like me) then wait about 3 mins before spraying so the black liquid doesn't go onto your skin when you close your eyes.

It's New York Fashion Week and I'm beyond thrilled to check out another season (it really doesn't get old). Each season for the past six years I've been going backstage to interview the glam squads before the shows and watching the shows to see the latest and greatest from all of the designers. This year, I have several fun projects to juggle between the madness. Here's four ways I prep and that really help to keep me sane... I Have Clones
I have help! Ever since I've been freelance I've had interns help me for BeautySweetSpot during NYFW so I can focus more on freelance writing assignments and other projects that I'm actually getting paid for. It's all about the hustle, so I try to clone myself.
I Have A Strict Schedule with An Open Mind
I have a redicilously organized schedule that only looks redicilously organized to me. I swear if you were to look at it you would only find yourself confused, but I've been doing my schedule this way for about two years and it works. I attempt (attempt being the key word) to have a plan, a set schedule of events, shows and backstages that I'm attending and potentially covering going into the week. However being a NYFW veteran, I'm flexible. I had to learn how to deal with my Type A personality and go with it. It must change at least twice a day as more invites are sent out and I run into industry friends and make more plans.
I Strategically Pack My Mobile Office
I pack a tote that includes a freelancers must haves for one of the most thrilling weeks of content gathering: camera, iPhone, iPhone charger, mini MacBook Air, Mac charger, flats, notebook, and a Luna Bar. I also toss in whatever lipstick color I'm wearing that day, blotting papers and business cards. Having a mobile office is priceless! There will be days where I'll have about two hours until my next show or event and can pop into a coffee shop or NYFW sponsored lounge and get some work done.
I'm not one to plan out "looks." Therefore, I'm normally somewhat scrambling to get dressed everyday, but like to be sure that I have something appropriate to wear each day. By appropriate I mean chic. I do a closet scan a week before to see what I'm lacking and add fillers (ie: a new pair of heels or an event-worthy dress I haven't worn before). This season I didn't need any fillers. I'm good, but what I did do and I do every season was stock up on necessities like tights. If I'm wearing them daily, I will get a run in them!

For months we have been seeing the trailers for Inherent Vice. And with a cast that includes Joaquin Phoenix (can someone please tell me the story behind his name), Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, and Reese Witherspoon, the movie is chocked full of talent. Joaquin Phoenix has been nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in the film.
Here's the plot in a nut shell - Set in California, you have "Doc" Sportello (Phoenix) a private eye. This is the psychedelic drug crazed 60's and 70's. There is a narrator throughout the film - Sortilege. She starts, "If it's a quiet night out at the beach and your ex-old lady suddenly out of nowhere shows up with a story about her current billionaire- developer boyfriend, and his wife, and her boyfriend, and a plot to kidnap the billionaire and throw him in a loony bin... "
Then Shasta (Katherine Waterston), "Doc"'s "ex-old lady says, "I need your help, Doc!
Sortilège continues narrating, "Maybe you should just look the other way." She pauses. "But if you're Doc, it may all start to get a little peculiar after that..."
And the story starts.
It is almost mad cap, well mad cap in a slow drug hazed way. The movie is based on a 2009 novel by Thomas Pynchon (which I have not read). As the film moves along, more bizarre characters start popping up. Josh Brolin plays an uptight straight laced crew cut police detective who always seems to be one move behind "Doc". My favorite character is Dr. Rudy Blatnoyd (played by Martin Short) the dentist dressed in a purple velvet suit. Reese Witherspoon plays Penny Kimbell, the Deputy D.A. and "Doc"s' current squeeze. And Owen Wilson plays Coy Harlington who seems to show up everywhere.
Maybe I am slow on the uptake but it took me a while to put all the characters together. The plot seemed very loose and the story made little sense the first half of the film. "Doc" seemed to be looking for the billionaire but the audience was not given enough information to follow along. About three quarters of the way through a new twist was introduced and suddenly it all began to come together. By this time I was looking around to see if anyone on my row was smoking anything funny they would share. Perhaps I needed to be on the same plane as "Doc" to comprehend.
When it was allover it was a good story, a little offbeat - OK, a lot offbeat. But what would one expect when you combine a stoner film with a plot that may or may not include drugs, a herion cartel, the Mason murders, the LAPD, a billionare, and other vices. It is funny. It is well written. And Phoenix does a great job playing "Doc".
Go see it, but keep in mind it may take a while for it all to come together. But, then it may not for you.

His friends are below his age, he has no steady male figure in his life, I try to be as open to him as possible so that he doesnt feel that he needs a male person to talk to. Please help about what I can do about the weight loss, its really terrible.he has been caught with a cigarrette and no one smokes in the family. More: All ExpertsADHD Expert Expert's Reply A.ADHD Expert Dear Apile,As Ritalin is known to reduce appetite and cause weight loss, it is recommended to be taken before breakfast to ensure a hearty meal can be eaten before the loss of appetite sets in. To counteract the weight loss, you can give him a supplement drink such as Ensure.The change in moods experienced by your son is also common with Ritalin; a change in dose may help this matter which your prescribing doctor will be able to do if necessary.From your post I do not know the reason for his friends being younger than him: if it is by choice, it may be an unconscious attempt to boost his self esteem. Depending on the age gap, it may not be anything to be concerned about, however, particularly as he gets older he should be encouraged to make friends with same age peers.The potential smoking issue may be him rebelling or simply experimenting; either way there needs to be a consequence for such behaviour - underage smoking is illegal.That you mention the lack of a "steady male figure" seems to indicate you have concerns about this; if need be, you could link him to a 'big brother' through a mentoring programme (www.bbbssa.org.za).Best of luck,Delia The information provided does not constitute a diagnosis of your condition.

Contributed by Paul Johnson
I have successfully given up smoking cigarettes by using modern vapor devices and liquids, after over 45 years of tobacco use. Not because I was having health issues; frankly, I didn't feel all that bad. Sure I was short of breath and my blood pressure was a little high but over all, if I took it easy, no serious issues. Like many others, I have lost friends and loved ones to tobacco smoking related illnesses and diseases. My family members have asked for years for me to quit out of concern, and the government and society in general have pushed and pushed to make America tobacco free because it is killing millions of people every year and there is evidence that second hand smoke is also harmful. As a result, I finally realized that it would be in my best interest to quit smoking, both for myself and in consideration of my fellow man.
Over the years I tried the patches, the gum hypnosis and even "cig-a-likes" to try and quit, only to relapse shortly after stopping the use of these products and methods. I didn't know why until I discovered modern vapor devices and liquids. The "cig-a-likes" have been around since 1965, but have always been limited by battery life and flavor issues. They did provide significant tobacco harm reduction, but were inconvenient.
Modern technology provided the solution and my success in quitting smoking was immediate and sustained. Why? Because modern vapor devices provide the hand and mouth habit along with the visual perception of exhaling a vapor while providing the nicotine I enjoy. If you've never smoked, this is probably the thing you understand least: the physical habit or ritual.
If you do smoke, please try vaping. Don't be fooled by the anti-vaping propaganda that has become so pervasive. Ask yourself why the same people that have been trying to convince you to quit smoking for decades are now trying to scare you into believing that the solution to their goal is as bad, if not worse than smoking tobacco. Vaping is not smoking. In fact, most vapers are anti-smoking advocates and reformed smokers.
Let's look at an FDA funded study by the National Institute for Health, dated March 2016. Their conclusion was "The evidence suggests a strong potential for vaporized nicotine product use to improve population health by reducing or displacing cigarette use." It goes on to say, "Countries whose policies discourage nicotine product use, run the risk of neutralizing a potentially useful addition to methods of reducing tobacco use." Yet the FDA ignores its own science and instead "deems" modern vapor devices to be tobacco products less than a month later. Why?
I've also been confronted by never smokers and anti-vapers who believe that vaping is just a new way of smoking. It is not. There are no carcinogens in modern vapor products except extremely low levels in the liquids that actually use tobacco as a flavoring. Most vapers prefer the hundreds of delicious flavorings that are now available. After all, they have quit smoking and want to rid themselves of tobacco forever.
The nicotine levels in the liquids can be adjusted to the user's particular taste and are considerably lower than in traditional tobacco products. Some prefer zero nicotine liquids. There is no smoke from burned tobacco, only vapor and therefore no second hand smoke. The amount of expelled nicotine in the vapor is not measurable and therefore poses no second hand threat whatsoever. (Royal College of Physicians Report – 2015)
Furthermore, nicotine is being studied and used in the treatment of Alzheimer's & Parkinson's disease with promising success. It has been proven to be no more addictive or harmful than the caffeine in your morning coffee.
I'm the one who doesn't understand. The government and society have pleaded for decades for smokers to quit smoking. Modern technology has provided that solution with little if any harm to the user and no harm to bystanders. Yet the government, big pharmaceutical companies and big tobacco companies are trying to vilify a product that has the potential of making the world tobacco free. Ask yourself why.

- Fraser Public Schools
- The Fraser Difference
Work Begins on Pool, Summer Projects
The biggest portion of projects from the Fraser Difference bond is underway, just as the one-year mark since the election approaches. The Board of Education awarded bids totaling more than $8.1 million at the February 26 meeting.
The scope of work this year focuses on Fraser High School, Richards Middle School, and Disney, Eisenhower and Twain elementary schools. Work will also be done at the Administration and Operations and Maintenance buildings.
The bulk of the work will begin once the school year ends. Parking lots at all of the buildings mentioned will be resurfaced. Lots at Eisenhower and Twain will be expanded and redesigned for better traffic flow.
Work began in mid-March on the overhaul of the Fraser High School pool and locker rooms, which have gone relatively unchanged since they were added to the school in the mid-1970s.
In the pool, all of the tile will be replaced. Crews will also install a sound-absorbing ceiling, climate control system to reduce humidity, and replace the scoreboards and touch-pads for more reliable time keeping.
The high school will also see elevator upgrades and improvements to the athletic fields north of the school.
Additional projects at Richards Middle School include improvements near and in the gym. These include installing air conditioning and a new sound system inside the gym, and upgrading the bathrooms nearest the gym.
Disney, Eisenhower and Twain will also benefit from playground upgrades, air conditioning and a sound-absorbing ceiling installed in the gyms, and have classroom sink cabinets replaced. The roof at Eisenhower will also be replaced.
Finally, the roof at the Administration Building will be replaced, and the elevator will be upgraded.
Work is scheduled to wrap up before school starts in September.
