Annual Open Exhibition at The Mall Galleries London. Entries accepted from both members and non-members.
Annual Open Exhibition at The Mall Galleries London. Entries accepted from both members and non-members.
See a page-by-page view of my previous SBP sketchbooks by clicking the link below. In 2012 my first sketchbook was titled:' My Mother's Last Christmas', a diary of the week I spent with her when she wasn't expected to live for much longer. Two years later I submitted a sketchbook called 'Inside Out' which was a series of self portraits.
It's time to fill in another sketchbook for the SBP in New York. This will be the third time I've taken part. Here's a bit of information about the set-up:
We are an independent Brooklyn-based company that organizes global, collaborative art projects. Our flagship endeavor is The Sketchbook Project, a crowd-sourced library that features 35,418 artists' books contributed by creative people from 135+ countries. Brooklyn Art Library is our storefront exhibition space in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY where The Sketchbook Project collection is on view to the public. Brooklyn Art Library, 28 Frost Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211. Open Tuesday to Sunday 12-6.The SBP currently holds around 35,418 sketchbooks by 162,081 creative people from 101 different countries.
Excited to be invited to join a new venture OCEAN ART by Jonathan Hall. One aspect of the business is to showcase artists who produce original paintings, including commissions, to yacht and boat owners worldwide. Whilst I don't paint figuratively, Jonathan liked my expressive original seascape paintings and was excited to add this extra dimension for his customers. Launching in January 2017 check out the website – with mesmerising wave- to see the fine quality replica yachts that Ocean Art make.
In William MacKenzie's art blog he wrote a very interesting feature on the SWA annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London. Click on the link below to see the full post.
This is what he wrote about my painting titled Reach. "Andie Clay's 'Reach' is done in the frustratingly unhelpfully described "mixed media". I would like to know what. There is some acrylic in there maybe. I like the movement in this piece with the bird like marks exploding out of the monstrous shape. Energetic piece."
Renowned Art blogger Katherine Tyrrell visited this years SWA exhibition and wrote a comprehensive review, see link below: http://makingamark.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/Review-Society-of-Women-Artists-Annual-Exhibition.html#more
Have just heard that three paintings from my musician series have been selected and will be on exhibition at the Mall Galleries in June. 'After Silence 3′ (above right) comes from my music conductor series.
The 154th Annual exhibition of the Society of Women Artists runs from 5 to 13 June and will be open 10am to 5pm daily, closing at 3pm on the 13th. Do get in touch if you would like an invitation to the Private View.
My Sketchbook has started its journey across the Atlantic to Brooklyn Art Library. I have called it Inside Out
"Using the covers of the sketchbook to hide behind, I have drawn a series of intensely personal self portraits. No bells and whistles, just me, a mirror and a 2B pencil. All the portraits were drawn within a 2 week period in March 2015. To me a sketchbook is a safe place where I can just be myself, and talk to myself through drawings and words. I never usually share them with anyone else. Looking back through old sketchbooks I love the freedom, originality and vitality of the drawings and strive to capture those qualities in my painting practice."
The Sketchbook Project is a crowd-sourced library of over 30,000 sketchbooks submitted by people of all ages and backgrounds from more than 135 countries. Sketchbooks are archived in the permanent collection at Brooklyn Art Library with inclusion in the 2015 Exhibition Tour when sketchbooks are taken out on tour in a purpose built vehicle. My sketchbook is also going to be digitised so will be available to view 24/7 worldwide.
Art Moves of Chelsea collected four of my musician paintings from outside the RWA in Bristol recently. They will deliver these to the Mall Galleries on the 25th of April for selection for the 154th Annual Exhibition which runs from the 5 – 13 June 2015. This painting is from my series of music conductors.
A selection of new work is on its way to Suffolk including these two horses – Proud Stallion (top) and Calm Mare. To see them in their new setting pay a visit to Seapictures Gallery in Clare, Suffolk where Sarah and Alaric Pugh will give you a warm welcome.

What to play online
The virtual casino is another name for the online casino. Online casinos allow the player to bet on casino games through the use of the internet. Virtual casinos offer largely the percentages and the chance of repayment that can be compared to traditional land-based casinos.
Many online casinos claim they offer higher refund percentages for slots games, and most of them publish the payout percentage that is displayed on their websites.
Suppose the online casino is using a proper program number generator that is random; Table games, like the game of Blackjack, have an established casino advantage. The rules of the game establishes the percentage of payout.
If you want to raise more money, it is better to choose to play the games with a better chance. For example, in the game of roulette, the player can choose to bet in many different options; these options offer different luck. Most often, the best bet is the one that comes with the worst payout – well, at least you have a higher chance of winning.
In the game of roulette, the betting options on the outside bets have lower payout, but it can increase your chances of winning the game. Online craps not give good luck to the players, so for the interval you might want to avoid this particular game.
The games that you will find to be the best online are usually games of skill, like blackjack and poker. In the game of Blackjack, you will play against the dealer's hand. In poker, you play against other players. Blackjack is a little harder when compared to poker.
It helps immensely to have developed your qualifications by playing poker; if you have done so you can do very well to cash out of the game. Luck can be easily on your side if you are a skilled player, because all you need to do is to learn the qualifications of the game, the strategy of the game. game, and how to read the features of your opponents' game pattern.
It is a little harder to beat luck in blackjack than poker because you have to get a total of 21 or as close to it as possible. Luck in the game of Blackjack may be inclined towards you if you are wise about the good time to stay or take a shot.
Slots are not as popular as other online games, because the chance of virtual slots is not that good. The payout is very good, but the odds are very high against you.
Online casinos are a great place to make money and have fun, but it's important to know which game are you going to play online in order to win.
SUMMARY: The kind of game you choose depends on your goal online. If you want to maximize your chances of making more money, choose games where luck favors you more.…

To that end, when OmniFocus for the Web ships we'll be rolling it out as part of a new OmniFocus subscription offering. This subscription will grant you access to OmniFocus for the Web, and will also unlock the Pro edition of OmniFocus on all of your other devices. Your subscription will cover the cost of all upgrades, so you'll get the new OmniFocus 3 release today—and, when OmniFocus 4 ships some years down the road, you'll get an automatic upgrade to it as well.
Now, some of you have already paid to upgrade to OmniFocus 3. If you have what you need, you don't need to change anything: you can keep using OmniFocus 3 as you have been doing. New customers will also continue to be able to make a simple one-time investment to unlock OmniFocus 3 on their devices. We're offering subscriptions as an additional purchasing option, not as a replacement for the existing options.
The OmniFocus subscription will cost $9.99/month, giving you access to the web service as well as OmniFocus Pro on all your Mac and iOS devices. If you've already invested in OmniFocus 3 and just want to add the web service, the cost for that will be $4.99/month.
As a long-term OmniFocus user, I'm quite happy with the OmniGroup's decision to add an optional subscription for OmniFocus. OmniGroup has the reputation in the industry to make this approach work, too.
On the topic of having yet another subscription — I realize we're in a world nearing death by a thousand app subscriptions. I'm trying to invest in the software which saves me time or helps me do my job better and letting the others go.
OmniFocus is probably the highest-value application in my workflow, so I won't hesitate to switch to the subscription model when the time comes. I have no problem paying for the software which makes my life work.
If you're wondering if the $100/yr cost is worth it, think of it this way — if OmniFocus saves you even 10 hours of work over the course of a year (which it saves me way more than that), you've likely made your money back.

11th Day of Christmas 2018
I haven't kept up with the 12 days of Christmas as I had intended to, so I'm catching up at the end. My favorite Christmas song this season (I have far too many Christmas albums, so "Christmas song" is a loosely identified term here).
And this, from the same album, is my second favorite:
I start the Christmas music late in December at Chez Adventus, so I can keep it going through January 6th.

It's been over two years since the NYC chapter has visited Tisch Hospital and we were excited to return! This time, our volunteers were supplied by Indira Couture, a custom couture fashion company bringing affordable custom gowns to fashion fans. Indira knows well the experience of making women feeling extra special, so their support today aligning perfectly with our mission.
Today was about dividing and conquering! Many patients preferred to stay in their rooms, so the volunteers spent their time making individual room visits. We visited seven girls and one boy in their rooms and entertained two girls in the playroom.
The moment of crowning each patient is still so special - seeing their eyes widen and their body wiggle with excitement. And then how they love to just hang around as other patients come in for their experience. Most of the time, the kids are quiet and just observe, and we are happy to have their presence.
Hospital staff as so accommodating and thrilled at the event. We are discussing more ways For a Day can support the patients and families. A very special thanks to Tisch Hospital staff and Indira Couture for their support!

Travel Like Real Housewives Families at These Luxe All-Ages Resorts Around the Globe
As the Bravoleb demonstrates, traveling with kids doesn't have to mean sacrificing poshness.
If so many of the Real Housewives have taught us anything about travel, it's that luxury vacationing isn't just for the kid-free. Case in point: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards impeccably demonstrated this past summer during her annual European family vacation that chic, Instagram-worthy holidays are totally possible for families.
And, hey: Paging Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell: You may have kids now, but you still want to travel the way you used to, right?
To that end, we bring you some of the best high-end and family-friendly resorts in the world.
1. Mauna Lani Bay
For families interested in learning about Hawaiian history and culture while vacationing, Mauna Lani Bay is the perfect high-end destination resort. From weaving floral leis and playing the ukulele, to participating a vibrant kids' camp or snorkeling in the protected bay, everyone in the fam can keep their brains and bodies stimulated throughout the trip. Luxurious spa options — like the Lava Sauna replete with a black volcanic clay body treatment — help to create an otherworldly experience of relaxation. Savory and fresh foods decorate the menus of the resort's restaurants to create a perfectly rounded trip.
2. Grand Velas Riviera Maya
Photo: Ben Britz
If a dreamy beach scene with all of the luxurious fixings is what you're after — including activity options that will impress little kids all the way through teens — hop on a plane to Riviera Maya to stay at Grand Velas. With a teens' club and two separate kids' clubs, younger family members will have arcade games and dance floors at their disposal when they aren't on the beach, in the Caribbean, or chilling in the pools. With top-notch dining options (that can be customized to meet dietary restrictions across the board) and a world-class spa, families can vacation in luxury while also staying fully entertained. Swimming with dolphins, exploring Mayan Ruins, or even taking a drive to journey through the many nearby picturesque cenotes are just a few of the activities that can be accommodated by the Grand Velas staff. Nanny service can be arranged with prior notice, too.

3. Ritz Carlton Dorado Beach
Your getaway fantasies very well may be filled with palm trees, soft sand, and perfectly magical bioluminescent bays. If the latter is a strong attraction point for you, go ahead and put Puerto Rico on your travel list. Stay at the Ritz-Carlton Dorado Beach for a top-of-the-line family trip. Flush with kids and youth activities as well as everything from golf-with-a-view and ocean kayaking to coral reef explorations and underwater photography outings, you'll have all you've ever dreamed of for the perfect vacation at your fingertips. You'll have to venture out on your own to get to the Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques, but the voyage will be well worth the unforgettable reward!
4. Villa Sungai
An island paradise with more bells and whistles than you'd ever even know to expect or request alongside a designated kid zone? That's Villa Sungai in Bali. With babysitters, all necessary baby items available on request, and even plenty of over-the-top luxuries just for kids (a five-page dining and drinks menu, afternoon tea parties, hair-braiding, kite-making, snorkeling, and even mini manicure/pedicure treatments are all available for little ones), this resort is plush comfort for the whole fam.
5. Four Seasons French Riviera Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
With splendid Mediterranean views and a warm welcome for families, the Four Seasons French Riviera Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is an ideal upscale European family destination. A kids' club, babysitting services, and specially arranged children's amenities will help any family to feel welcome in this posh retreat. Add the spa, dining, and other relaxation options to that and your entire clan will be pleased as punch to be living it up in the French Riviera.
Jet Set is Bravo's launch pad for the most extravagant, luxurious, and unforgettable travel experiences. Ready for takeoff? Then Like us on Facebook to stay connected to our daily updates.

To maximize the interest in your talk and to lower your stress if you don't often do presentations, we have set up the following process for our volunteer speakers:
- Send us your ideas for a talk and we'll consider where your session fits into the program and get back to you.
- Check out our tips below and then develop your idea for a talk into a presentation and handout. We'll review it and help you with the content, presentation, and handout as needed.
- Get comfortable with your presentation – maybe try it out at your local Esperanto group or just get familiar with all your material.
- Relax and enjoy the conference – you are helping us to make it great! We'll have someone in the room with you to introduce you and to make sure that everything goes smoothly.
Tips for Speakers
- Content is Key: You've got something interesting to share and that's the main thing on which to focus. Skip the introduction and background and get straight to the interesting things you have to say and tell your story. You can always use the approach of particular, general, particular to introduce and develop your general themes. Lay out the problem: who cares about it and what is the solution? Don't be afraid to leave questions for the audience to ask or put out questions that you don't have an answer to. Feel free to repeat and reinforce key points since that is just good storytelling. Interactive presentations where the audience participates are more interesting than a presenter doing all the talking, so figure out ways to involve the audience through questions and activities.
- The Slides and Handout seamlessly support your Content: Any details you have should be put in a nice concise handout. The audience will know they don't have to take notes on a lot of specifics and can instead focus on listening to and interacting with you. This also frees you up from trying to show a bunch of details on low-resolution slides or boring the audience with reading out details. The presentation can instead use a few carefully chosen supporting pictures, text, audio, and/or video. Use the slides as mileposts to get through your content within the allotted time and as a reminder that keeps you focused on the audience and what they are looking at rather than a set of speaking notes. You can print out copies of your handout at the conference.
- Don't Worry About the Presentation – you've got great content: Get familiar enough with your content so that you easily talk through it and hit your key points, but you shouldn't memorize a speech. Your audience wants you to succeed and they won't know if you make a "mistake" unless you call attention to it. Don't apologize for a complex concept or content or for interjecting something you forgot to cover – just say what you need to say. Speak to them like a trusted colleague. Humor and enthusiasm are great if they resonate for you with the topic.

VIDEO: NU students protest for climate change action
By Annie Cebulski and Scott Brown Over 400 environmentalists and concerned citizens gathered in Chicago on Wednesday for a march and vigil as part of the national People's Climate Movement. The event brought together a coalition of sponsors from many issues, including the Sierra Club of Chicago, the Service Employee's International Union, and the Archdiocese of Chicago, all hoping to motivate citizens to demand governmental action on justice and the environment, including supporting the EPA's Clean Power Plan. The activists, including members of Fossil Free Northwestern, listened to speakers and got fired up in the pews at Old St. Patrick's Church before marching through Chicago's downtown. The procession ended at the Thompson Center, where demonstrators lit candles in vigil for the environment and the human lives already impacted by climate change.
Check out the video below to see what the activists saw as they hit the streets.

Homeowners or those people who planned to buy a new home are sure that they can get far more benefits of buying a new home rather than a sale house. The idea of just having a second-hand home is not a good idea. That is why most of people would like to change new homes with really the new homes. Here are some of the reasons why people would like to have or to build a new house.
New house, new design
When you buy a new house or a new home for you and your family, you need to choose everything that it will have like the cabinets, style of the living room, kitchen, appliances and also all of its coverings and up to its floorings. As people most say that the style of your home is the taste or the attitude of the people living in there, your home is also your reflection.
Room and floor layouts
In lay outing your new home, you are really into having it done or decided by yourself rather than those casual home builders. It is of course because you want to have a personal touch with your own home and you really want to accentuate it with your own. If you have a say and you want to interfere in the designing of your house or home, you can choose where to put your rooms, kitchens and even living rooms. There are now home builders and agencies or people who are tasked to do these that will let you since it is your home or house. They will let you decide and even give opinion to people working with or on it. You can decide about the whole construction thing happening.
With your plans to have a new home or house, you will be then again having your new materials or accessories and even appliances for your home or house. Brand new products have outstanding warranty or longer warranties. In this instance, you can save a few bucks for material or appliance innovation or maintenance. You can also make sure that since you have new appliances, your home will be safe and ensured since these appliances will have its own warranty each.
You can have a great house with the help of renovation builders.

Diego Maradona - Argentina World Cup 86 Poster Art
Diego Maradona - Argentina World Cup 86 Poster Art
Diego Armando Maradona is one of the greatest players in the history of the game - many even regard him as the greatest. He was a brave and natural born leader on the field. Short, stocky and left-footed with awe-inspiring ball control, dribbling, passing and playmaking skills, made him almost impossible to contain at his best. And the world got to see him at his peak in the 1986 World Cup. His tournament contribution to Argentina's triumph has been generally accepted as the best in history by a single player of any World Cup.

For many us, it's ingrained to make 'this year my year to get fit' part of our New Year's resolution. But it's a fleeting fancy for the longest month of the year and is normally broken by the end of January. As employees spend 60% of their waking hours at work, we wanted to make sure that Sixers make healthy choices throughout their days.
Six becomes sugar smart
We recently teamed up with Bristol City Council, and Jamie Oliver's Food Foundation to create a video for the Sugar Smart Bristol campaign. Highlighting Bristol's alarming love for sugar, and help Bristol become a Sugar Smart city.
According to their statistics:
- 57% of adults and more than a third of 11-year-olds in the city are now officially overweight
- 3 out of 4 in some areas of Bristol are overweight or obese
- 4 in 5 people in some areas of Bristol are not physically active
- a quarter of five-year-olds in Bristol have tooth decay
- 47 per cent of 15-year-olds do not eat five fruit and veg portions per day and 83 per cent are not getting enough physical activity per day.
Change for life with Sugar Smart Bristol
This shocked us into making some changes. Our normally sweet-toothed Sixers have been doing their best to get fit, healthy and ready for 2017. We've introduced salad swaps, yoga classes, weekly fresh fruit deliveries, to curb those daily urges for treats.
We've managed to keep up momentum with these great incentives. We're now looking forward to the summer where we're starting to put together some great sports opportunities (including a sports day that will see all the classics come out).
"A healthy workforce is a resilient one, which is better for the economy".
Marvin Rees, Bristol Mayor
If like us you've been stunned by the stats, fear not because there's always time to change! Have a look at the Sugar Smart Bristol website for some tips and tricks on how to easily swap your treats for something healthy. There's a handy app to help you make changes even easier by showing you how much sugar really is in day-to-day products.
So make your sugar smart changes today.

text: Nov232017Skin WHY YOUR FACIAL MOISTURISER JUST WON'T CUT IT AS AN EYE CREAM You're probably stocked up on facial moisturiser and may not think an eye cream is necessary as well, but the skin around your eyes is a lot thinner than the rest of your face with very few oil glands so it deserves a richer, more intense product. An eye cream does much more than simply add hydration, it can help to transform your whole appearance by waking up tired eyes so you look bright and fresh no matter how many hours of shut-eye you may have caught! Keep reading for just three reasons you need to add an eye cream to your current skincare routine. FOR DARK CIRCLES This is one complaint the majority of women have, and while dark circles may be blamed on genetics, there are other factors like lack of sleep and poor diet that can certainly contribute and make them even darker. The raccoon look is never in so look for an eye cream that contains brightening ingredients like eyebright that can help to combat dark circles resulting from discolouration, as well as ingredients that can help to boost collagen production to fill in hollows under the eyes that may be contributing to dark circles. FOR FINE LINES Fine lines under the eyes are a real nuisance, especially when applying concealer as the concealer can draw attention to lines you are trying to conceal! Fortunately, an eye cream can help with this. Look for an eye cream that is brimming with antioxidants to fight free radicals that can contribute to fine lines and wrinkles as well as hyaluronic acid to firm, tighten and smooth out fine lines. For a handy tip, always apply your eye cream under your concealer for a more flawless finish! FOR PUFFINESS Puffy eyes are a real drag and are a result of swelling in the tissues around your eyes from build up. Too little sleep, too much salt in the diet and even allergies can all contribute to puffy eyes so you want to look for a product to soothe and cool, and reduce irritation. Calendula has excellent anti-inflammatory benefits, while rose offers powerful nourishing properties to soothe and hydrate all in one. A great tip is to keep your eye cream in the fridge so you can enjoy a refreshing dose of coolness that will instantly deflate your under eye bags when you apply it in the morning! GET YOUR HANDS ON ALL THESE INGREDIENTS IN ONE PRODUCT! It may seem impossible, but our organic anti-wrinkle eye cream contains all the above ingredients to target all your eye care concerns. Over time, the skin around your eyes will appear firmer and more plump with fewer lines and wrinkles, you can say bye-bye to bags and your under eye skin will be much brighter helping to give your eyes a refreshed and wide awake appearance!

Hot on the heels of the overturning of his previous legislation, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch vowed to bring new federal regulation regarding sports betting. Now he is being joined by fellow Senator and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in these calls, with Schumer offering specific ideas as to the legislation.
"With the Supreme Court's ruling, it's incumbent on the federal government to take a leadership role and provide the necessary guidance to prevent uncertainty and confusion for the leagues, state governments, consumers and fans alike," Schumer said in a statement on the issue.
Naming the Specifics on Legislation
Schumer touches on some things that are "common sense" regulation – no players under 21, commercial targeting not aimed at youth or problem gamblers, etc. – but there are some things that he has come up with that could be problematic. One of the regulations suggested by Schumer states that sportsbooks would only be able to use "official league data" to determine the outcomes. This basically means that the professional and collegiate sports leagues would offer their "official" statistics to sportsbooks (presumably for a price) and those stats would be the determining factor in any bet. Not stopping there, Schumer also posited the idea that the leagues would be the ones that would determine what would be wagered on.
The problem with this situation is that the leagues could basically determine who they wanted to offer sports betting by controlling who has access to the "official" data. That "official" data is also quite questionable in that the results of sporting events are public knowledge – everyone knows who beat whom and by how much – thus making the monetization of "official" data a step simply to impact who can offer the betting.
The National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Professional Golf Association (PGA) initially have indicated their support for the proposals from Schumer, with the National Football League (NFL) and National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) offering their support in a separate statement. In both cases, the professional and amateur sports agencies have stated that federal legislation is necessary to present "consistent, nationwide integrity and standards to safeguard the sports millions of fans love."
Hatch, who was the creator of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992, had proposed legislation that would have to be rushed through before the end of the current Congress. Schumer's proposals have not been codified as of yet either. There is, however, a bill in the House that has stalled on the sports betting issue.
Sports Betting Growing on State-by-State Level
Since PASPA was overturned by the U. S. Supreme Court in May, several states have stepped up and passed some form of sports betting legislation for their state. Of course, New Jersey was one of the first to offer sports betting as they were the originators of the lawsuit that resulted in the overturning of PASPA. But there have been other states that have wasted little time in activating their own sports betting industries.
Delaware was one of the first to offer sports betting, quickly followed by Mississippi in June. As a part of their own online gaming legislation, Pennsylvania has also stepped into the sports betting realm. West Virginia, looking to keep up with Pennsylvania, quickly pushed through sports betting regulations for their casinos. Finally, several states including Louisiana, California, South Carolina, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Michigan, Missouri and Iowa (among others) have legislation that could be passed this year that would open the doors for sports betting in their states.
Still Unlikely Legislation Will Get Through
Neither Schumer or Hatch have any current bill that would push through their legislative agenda, which would be necessary to go along with the current House legislation that is currently stalled (the House bill is called the Gaming Accountability and Modernization Enhancement Act, or the GAME Act, and its nomenclature is HR 4530). But time for committee discussion on issues is scarce over the next few months with the midterm elections and the "lame duck" session after the midterms. Accord to GovTrack, which follows legislation in the Congress, there is a 3% chance that the bill will be passed.

Amazon has listed several hundred China-based jobs on its website and LinkedIn, as the company looks to grow its business in the country, Bloomberg reports. The Seattle-based e-commerce giant has struggled in China — in 2016, it had just 1.3% of the country's online retail market, which actually marked a decline from previous years.
The hundreds of job opportunities likely display that Amazon is not planning to get out of China, despite its difficulties, and plans to find ways to make itself more competitive with domestic titans Alibaba and JD.com.
The positions may shine light on Amazon's strategy for growth in China:
- Amazon is hiring for multiple positions related to Alexa development, indicating it might have plans to extend the voice assistant's reach to China. There are positions for software engineers and designers for Alexa, which could be part of an effort to give Alexa Chinese language capabilities, in the hope that voice shopping would boost Amazon's performance in the country. Although the Echo is not currently available in China, limiting Alexa's potential value, Amazon is also looking for someone to help third-party hardware makers integrate with Alexa. That could help spread Alexa in China, providing Amazon with a foothold in a voice shopping industry that already has offeringsfrom Alibaba and JD.com.
- Another listing hints that Amazon is building a content team in China, potentially for Prime Video. The posted position seeks an executive to help handle licensing and original programming in China, which could be an indication that Amazon is committed to bringing Prime Video to the country. This is likely to be a tall order due to China's heavy censorship — the Chinese Prime offering is currently without Prime Video because of government restrictions. However, by having someone on the content side operating locally, Amazon may be in a better position to create a successful video offering in China. That, in turn, could attract additional Chinese Prime subscribers.
As Amazon looks for new methods to grow in China, cross-border e-commerce may be its ticket to success. Although its local iteration is struggling, Amazon's share of Chinese cross-border e-commerce is estimated to have reached 7.6% in Q2 2017 by Analysys, as cited by Bloomberg. Cross-border e-commerce in China holds a great deal of value — Forrester projectsthe country will account for 41% of all cross-borer e-commerce in 2021. Moreover, if Amazon can establish itself as a mainstay in China's cross-border market, it could build familiarity and its reputation, making it easier to get people to use Amazon for domestic e-commerce. The company's US ties may prove valuable here, as the US-China cross-border corridor is one of the biggest in the world, affording it an advantage over Chinese competitors.

Nutritional Information for Olive Garden Dressings
Skip To:
Olive Garden is one of the most recognizable Italian restaurants in the United States. Most meals come with the signature salad and bread sticks, which have become so popular that the restaurant offers a special lunch option of soup, salad and bread sticks. If you are watching your weight or are on a restricted diet, you may be concerned about the house salad dressing. Your server will bring the salad with the dressing on the side upon request.
Adding dressing to a serving of Olive Garden salad adds 230 calories. A serving of salad without dressing has 120 calories. A serving with dressing has 350.
Olive Garden salad dressing is a vinaigrette style, which is mostly fat. The good news is that most of the 22.5 grams of fat in the dressing is an oil, not a solid fat. Solid fats are high in saturated fats and trans fats, which can raise your cholesterol and contribute to heart disease. Oils are high in monounsaturated fats, which do not raise your cholesterol.
Most Americans should limit their sodium intake, and 2,300 mg of sodium, about one teaspoon of salt, is the limit for most adults, according to the 2005 Dietary Guidelines For Americans published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. One serving of Olive Garden salad dressings contain 1,380 mg of sodium — nearly half of the recommended daily allowance for healthy adults.
Carbohydrates are the basic material that your body uses for energy. The body breaks down foods such as grains, vegetables and sugars into glucose, or blood sugar. This blood sugar fuels cells, tissues and organs. Some carbohydrates, such as sugars, are simple. Your body breaks them down very quickly. Others, such as whole grains and vegetables, are complex. Your body takes longer to break them down, so they give you a more sustained energy source. One serving of Olive Garden salad with dressing contains 22 grams of carbohydrates. A serving of salad without dressing contains 17 grams of carbohydrates. Most of the carbohydrates in a serving of salad come from the lettuce and vegetables.
If you are sensitive to gluten, the protein in wheat, eating out can be challenging. Olive Garden salad dressings are gluten free. Be sure to order your salad without croutons. Ordering your salad without croutons also lowers the overall calorie and sodium count of the dish.

Writing Tips Round Up: Avoiding clichés4 min read
"Common metaphorical expressions such as 'it's raining cats and dogs' are 'dead metaphors'. Dead metaphors are figures of speech that have lost their meaning through being repeated so often. Without the metaphor being explained, many English speakers will know that 'raining cats and dogs' means that it is raining hard (not that domestic animals are actually falling from the sky)."
This Now Novel post is a good starting point for studying the cliché, covering every category you might think of, from setting to simile.
"In general, soap opera dialogue is dramatic, quick-paced and not how people talk at all. Note the dramatic, weighty pauses in-between lines, or the pause while the camera pans over the actor's shocked face. Many authors attempt this drama unnecessarily in their fiction, often with words like "suddenly", "shockingly" and "angrily"."
Over at Re:Fiction they're tearing the soap-opera novel to shreds and giving you plenty of reasons to avoid falling into its trap. Time progression, flashbacks and dream sequences are all tackled in this feisty guide!
"Characters must ultimately drive a plot, propel it forward. If your characters don't act in ways that are plausible (as Aristotle indicated all those years ago), your plot becomes weak, and once your reader questions a character in this sense, your narrative spell is broken."
Writers Workshop sets their gaze on character clichés as they delve into how to write compelling protagonists, avoiding caricatures and stereotypes.
"Love triangles are prevalent across urban fantasy, as in many other genres too. What makes them frustrating is that you've seen them before, many, many times, not only in other books, but on TV and in the movies as well. Romance triangles can also make the heroine who is part of a couple with the first guy seem selfish, and make the third guy who usually comes onto the scene, interfering with the both of them, self-serving."
To narrow the scope even further, Writing Tips Oasis takes a look at the cliché epidemic in urban fantasy fiction and how to dodge romantic triangles and the ever-present "chosen one".
"Biting Lip Syndrome" (BLS) is a term I've coined to describe the all-too-common shortcuts writers use to build their characters; biting one's lip is the most prevalent of these. This is especially true of female protagonists. Instead of providing a nuanced or varied response to the plethora of stimuli, their responses stay largely the same. They bite their lip when they're feeling shy, when they are holding their tongue, when they're aroused and when they're scared."
Finally, this incredibly fun post from Letterpile digs through some of the most overused tropes used in YA fiction, from the Overly Qualified Protagonist to Biting Lip Syndrome.

Mango Salsa, Spicy Tempeh, Quinoa & Millet Salad Bowl (GF)
One of my favourite ways to use mango (if I haven't already sucked all the flesh off the pit…) is in a salsa, or pico de gallo as they're more specifically called. It's so simple but the flavours are immense and it kicks a ton of flavour or colour into any dish. In this recipe I'll be making a salad bowl with this simple salsa and a few of my other favourite ingredients.
The mango salsa is sweet, juicy, tangy, sour and salty all in one bite and the onions give it that slight crunch. Paired with leafy greens, tempeh and a blend of quinoa and millet, this salad bowl is super light and fresh but won't leave you feeling hungry – perfect for those warmer days.
I'm using a mix of millet and quinoa as they cook similarly, but mostly because I like to balance out the imported ingredients I use with some local ones. Because quinoa is imported, I know a lot of people find it quite expensive in Malaysia so combining it with a seed that is more native to Southeast Asia helps cut that cost. On top of getting a wider variety of nutrients you're also supporting smaller farmers than big international companies. Buying locally is so underrated (I'll probably do a post about it on it's own) so don't be afraid to source out alternatives to imported ingredients you see in recipes.
Tempeh is a shining example of inexpensive local ingredients that are sought after all over the world for it's health benefits. Take advantage of the mere RM1.50 you'd have to pay for a fresh block vs RM15 (£3) people are paying abroad for the lesser fresh version! It's the best when bought fresh from the market but you can find them at most supermarkets too.
For those of you who aren't familiar, tempeh is a block of fermented soybeans originating from Indonesia. Don't worry, it tastes a lot better than it sounds – it has a unique nutty flavour and a firm yet surprisingly creamy texture. As with other fermented foods it's packed with probiotic nutrients and is high in manganese, calcium and certain vitamin Bs. Because it has it's own strong flavour I usually like to keep it simple, so for this salad bowl I'm just spicing it up without masking its original nuttiness.
If you're looking for a way to spice up your regular salad bowl, give this a go. I always find myself making this for the family when I can get a hold of mangoes and it's a favourite xxx

(Reuters) - A survey of coral reefs off the Hawaiian island of Oahu has shown warm ocean waters recently contributed to a higher rate of coral bleaching than the state has seen in decades, sparking concerns about the ecosystem, a state official said on Tuesday.
The findings from dives last week by researchers with the Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources follows federal warnings of a possible large decline in coral cover in the archipelago this century due to climate change and warming oceans.
Coral underpins the region's aquatic ecosystem by providing shelter to countless species of fish, and Hawaii's varied marine life supports the local economy by attracting visitors from around the world.
"People come to Hawaii to see corals, they come to Hawaii to use our oceans," said Frazer McGilvray, administrator of the Division of Aquatic Resources. "If our corals die, it could potentially take a long, long time for them to recover."
He said that when ocean waters warm, it distresses coral and leads the organism to expel the algae that is vital to its survival, which in turn causes bleaching of the coral.
As water temperatures cool, coral can recover its color, and it remains unclear how much of the coral has died as it has bleached white, McGilvray said. The survey did not produce forecasts for how much of the coral may die from the bleaching.
He said his agency had received reports of coral bleaching throughout the archipelago so it sent divers to investigate in the waters of Waimanalo, Lanikai and Kaneohe Bay, all sites around the Hawaiian island of Oahu.
The survey found 75 percent of major reef-building coral at those sites was showing signs of bleaching, McGilvray said, adding that the last time researchers saw a similar rate of bleaching in Hawaii's ocean waters was in 1996, and even then it was less severe.
"It's pretty alarming," McGilvray said. "That's a high, high percentage of corals to be bleaching."
The bleaching comes as Hawaii has experienced a recent warm spell. Divers with the Division of Aquatic Resources have measured ocean temperatures of around 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29.4 Celsius), which is higher than the normal range of 72 degrees to 78 degrees (22.2 to 25.5 C), McGilvray said.

Pick a Saturday afternoon, any Saturday afternoon, and grab your favorite beverage and perhaps a good cigar. Settle in for a couple of hours and enjoy Pike Bishop's Diamondback: Shroud of Vengeance. This is an adult Western, the 1970s and 1980s version of a pulp Western, and it's just old-fashioned fun. It's the type of book that ends a chapter with an "!".
Cord Diamondback, the classic Western cliché good guy, with just the right amount of a dark edge to him, is fast with his fists, fast with his gun and fast with women. He's been called to New Mexico's Blood River County where it is hoped that his physical talents, along with his knowledge of the law (having attended Harvard Law), can save the miners, the mines, Judge Morgan and, of course, the lives of more than one beautiful, smart and willing young woman. Is the mine worth a fortune, or quickly going dry? Will the miners survive a winter without food and shelter, or even survive the Apache attacks long enough to make it to winter? Will Cord live through the murder charges and the lynch mob? Will he survive a deadly Apache gauntlet, the gun runner Jemel Sullivan and the classically evil mine owner Odin Lassen?
Diamondback: Shroud of Vengeance is the sixth in a series of nine Cord Diamondback books. I'm looking forward to reading the other eight.
The author, Paul "Pike" Bishop has published fifteen novels, with quite a few more in progress. As a thirty-five-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, including more than twenty-five years in sex crimes investigation and twice being named LAPD's Detective of the Year, Paul's expertise has naturally led him to write about crimes and more specifically, interrogation, which was his specialty. His most recent book (and my favorite), Lie Catchers, is the first in what will hopefully be a long series featuring a couple of distinguished LAPD interrogators: Ray Pagan and Calamity Jane Randall.
Paul lives in Southern California, happily married to his high school sweetheart, and when he's not writing or teaching interrogation classes to police departments around the country, he willingly and happily shares his expertise with young writers.
Diamondback was Paul's first break, his first novel. As an "adult" Western, the publishers required, as all publishers of adult Westerns did at the time, at least two graphic sex scenes. While Paul was uncomfortable writing them, and hasn't done it since, the opportunity was too important to pass up, so write them he did.
My favorite line from the book…
"My brother told me he'd meet me in hell, Mr. Diamondback, but he didn't realize I'd been living there for years."

Philosophical answers to anxiety
Freud emphasised the importance of external factors in the genesis of anxiety while Heidegger says we are anxious because we care, says philosopher DR PETER BANKI, who will be speaking at Clear Spot Club's anxiety event on May 4.
How long have philosophers been thinking about anxiety for?
It's hard to know really exactly. It's possible that it was thought under other names. Anxiety as a modern concept probably dates from the birth of psychology as a science in the 19th Century. The Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard wrote a famous philosophical treatise on the concept of anxiety (Angest) in the nineteenth century.
Which philosophers do you think are particularly engaged with it?
The two which are most important for me are Sigmund Freud and Martin Heidegger. Both of whom see anxiety at the very centre of our emotional lives.
In terms of the ancients, who wrote about it?
I believe Hippocrates identified symptoms in some patients that we might today associate with anxiety and phobia. Cicero and Seneca also wrote about worry and anxiety and made the link between physical and mental illnesses.
Whey does Freud interest you? What did he say about it?
Freud emphasised the importance of external factors in the genesis of anxiety, which from my point of view is very important. Primary anxiety is typified by a traumatic situation in which the individual is over-whelmed by helplessness in face of mass stimulation, and secondary anxiety is a signal actively produced by the ego as a warning that a traumatic situation threatens to occur.
Freud also saw anxiety as part of the ego's mechanism of defence following a traumatic incident.
The implications of Freud's formulation for a predominantly cultural or environmental approach are obvious and bear important relations to many current controversies within the realms of dynamic psychology.
And Heidegger too. What did he say?
For Heidegger, we have a constitutive anxiety which is to do with our being not at home in the world and because our fundamental comportment in the world is one of care. Because we care, we are anxious. Anxiety for Heidegger is not simply negative. He trans-valuates anxiety as that which motivates us to act for the sake of something or someone we care about.
If we weren't anxious, it would mean we didn't care. Heidegger also gives emphasis to the concept of the Unheimliche, which was also very important for Freud: the double-sided experience of at once feeling-at-home and not-at-home in the world. Inasmuch as we are at home in the world, we are also not at home, and visa-versa. But he says that the more primordial experience is the strangeness of being not-at-home.
Why is anxiety commonly seen through a medical lens these days?
Probably because we don't want to look at the wider political and philosophical questions that it raises. We see it simply as an illness of the individual, which we can address with psycho-therapy or drugs. I think a philosophical and socio-political analysis can be extremely beneficial to the individual to help them to deal with anxiety, to manage it.
How would you like to see it framed?
I'd like to put anxiety in dialogue with a thinking about justice and love. Not simply romantic love, but also love in a more general sense, what the ancients would have called Eros. I think love has the capacity at once to soothe anxiety, to settle it for a while, so one can rest, but also in a positive way to create and sustain anxiety in the sense of motivating us to act in inventive ways for the sake of who and what we truly care about.
I think if there is a poverty of love, anxiety will only be destructive. When there is love, anxiety is not necessarily negative. I also think humour has a very important role in helping us to manage our anxiety.
DR BANKI will be speaking alongside sociologist MICHAEL PUSEY and social work lecturer EMMA TSERIS on May 4. BOOK NOW!

Oh man, here are my "lets burry ourselves in nostalgia" pics of the day, look at all these cool pastels, floral prints and leg ties.If it's true that there is nothing new under the sun, then there is no better proof than these photos. While many of the styles featured here look very much like some of the ensembles hoofin' it down the runways lately, they're actually the originators from over forty years ago!
Shot by Arthur Schatz in 1969 for Life Magazine, the scenes pictured below capture a day in the life of typical late sixties high school. Whether these were candid or styled, I don't know. What I do know, however, is that these girls knew how to rock it! Check it out:

Update: Oil price falls briefly below $90/barrel2 min read . Updated: 06 Oct 2008, 01:52 PM IST
Update: Oil price falls briefly below $90/barrel
Update: Oil price falls briefly below $90/barrel
Singapore: The benchmark New York oil futures contract briefly fell below $90 a barrel Monday in Asia after Wall Street's financial meltdown extended to Europe, triggering fears of a global slowdown, dealers said.
In late afternoon New York's main contract, light sweet crude for November delivery, hit a low of $89.96 before rebounding to trade $3.43 lower at $90.45.
London's Brent North Sea crude for delivery in November had already dropped below the 90-dollar mark, on 16 September.
The Brent contract traded $3.70 lower at $86.55 in late Asian trade on Monday.
World oil prices first broke through the $100 level at the start of the year and touched record highs above $147 in July. But they have fallen sharply since then on concerns that demand is slowing during the global financial crisis, dealers say.
"I think it's just sort of continuing the steepening gloom you are seeing," said Jason Feer, vice president of energy market analysts Argus Media in Singapore.
He said that in the absence of weather or political factors to influence oil prices, investors "are concerned about the economic issues."
On Sunday, BNP Paribas announced it is taking control of ailing finance group Fortis' operations in Belgium and Luxembourg, in a deal that will make Belgium the largest shareholder in the French bank.
Germany also sealed a public-private rescue plan for the country's fourth biggest bank Hypo Real Estate as the government extended a blanket guarantee for all personal bank deposits to avert panic withdrawals.
The announcements came on the eve of a meeting of European finance ministers in Luxembourg. They will seek to flesh out broad plans for restoring confidence in the crisis-struck banking system, agreed to over the weekend by Europe's biggest economic powers.
"The risks of a severe international economic slowdown, possibly extending to a recession in some developed economies, have increased as a result of the recent strains in the international financial system," said David Moore, a commodity strategist with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney.
"If there is a severe downturn in the international economy, oil prices could prove weaker than forecast," he said.
French leaders on Friday scrambled to reassure consumers, voters and investors after the official statistics agency warned that the eurozone's second largest economy had slipped into recession.
CFC Seymour securities said from Hong Kong on Monday that recent data from the US and elsewhere "highlight the fact that the financial crisis is turning into an economic one, and the process is so advanced that the bailout will not reverse it."
The comment referred to a bailout package that will see the US government buy up to $700 billion US worth of tainted mortgage-related assets at the root of the global crisis.

a forgotten thought...
Ugh. I can't believe I forgot to mention this. It's already starting with Emma. The dreaded boy problems. The past two days she has come home from school telling me that "Tyler is sniffing my (her) underwear." She even came home on Tuesday with her pants unbuttoned. Now, I know she sits with Tyler on the bus, and I'm sure it's all innocent but come on. WTF? I told her today that she's not to let Tyler sniff her underwear...it really disturbs me to even say that sentence...and she doesn't have to sit with him on the bus if she doesn't want to. I emailed her teacher and asked her what she thought I should do but haven't heard back from her yet. What would you have done?
1 comment:

I think you're right not to make a big deal of it yet, but I'm with you, I'd be appalled. I'd probably explain to E that her panties are private and that noone should be looking at/touching/sniffing them, it's just not appropriate. I'd also get ahold of that boy's mother and let her know, because that obviously isn't something a young child would think up on their own... so she might want to know that her child has been exposed to panty sniffing... and who knows what else.

Three, that's how many comics I bought on Saturday. I stuck to my list and managed to spend about $30 less than I normally would have at the comic shop. I'm pretty proud of myself.
Oh, I wanted to mention that I didn't update for the last couple of days because Blogger wouldn't allow me access for some reason. I'm sure it's just a glitch, but I thought I'd explain.
Friday night Julia and I went to a surprise party at Shana's for Dustin. It was a nice, reasonably-sized group of people and we had a good time chatting with others. It was a nice time. Much better than either of us expected to have, actually.
Saturday I met up with Chris Pramas and Rick along with Matt, Seth, and Jason down at the Science Fiction museum to check out the Battlestar Galactica demo tour kickoff. That seemed to be going very well and after some of the others checked out the game we went and played History of the World for the rest of the day. It's definitely one of my favorite world-conquest games and we had a good time -- although playing with six players means lots of time between your turns, which wasn't quite as fun. Anyway, I'd love to try and set up gaming days like this every now and again, so I hope we can all coordinate that every now and again.
Sunday, Julia and I went to a small gem and jewelry show at Seattle Center. It was interesting to see the show. It reminded me of a small gaming convention in a lot of ways, especially with regards to how passionate people are about their hobbies and how fun it is to find good deals. Due to a bag that accidently was left behind, we had to go back downtown after we'd returned home, but happily the bag was found and Julia was able to pick it up after a little running around.
Afterward we hooked up a new TV that we'd picked up from a co-worker's earlier in the day and watched the Academy Awards. . . well, the Awards were on, but I was working on a D&D character and she was putting together some jewelry. It was a fun day and it was fun to see Julia in her element.
Last night I woke up at 3:00am and had a little panic attack regarding money. One of those stray thoughts that happen when you're half asleep coasted through my brain, freaked me out, and I couldn't stop thinking about my finances, so I got up, made out a list of where my money goes every month and discovered that I'm running a deficit every month due to the amount I spend going out to eat. That's no good, so I'm going to try to reign that in quite a bit. Sure, it's not as fun, but it's really a detriment right now, so it has to stop. Plus, I'd like to be able to save up to do some really fun things with my girl. That's not going to happen as it is.
More later.

"Indigenous scholars suggest that a process of decolonization must be enacted in order to activate the process of including Indigenous Knowledge into Western [current] schools' structures so that the balance between knowledge systems can be achieved." Garcia & Shirley, 2012
Join us for this interactive and informative eCourse where you will focus on how to weave Indigenous Knowledge systems into your current teaching and learning practices. Each section will build understanding of what Indigenous Knowledge systems were and continue to be, as well as create an awareness of traditional Indigenous pedagogical processes and how they could be respectfully incorporated into current teaching practices. As you dive deeper into each section, you will build an appreciation of how weaving together Indigenous ways of knowing with current pedagogical practices can benefit all students.
Section 1: Educational Synthesis: An Introduction to Indigenous Knowledge Systems
You will focus on building an understanding and appreciation for Indigenous Knowledge systems. As a participant, you will learn about the importance of land, language, Elders, and relationships in traditional education and how to use these new understandings in synthesis with your current teaching methods. This section is designed to help educators understand that Indigenous Knowledge systems cannot live in contemporary schools; rather they can inspire us to teach in varied ways that benefit all learners.
Section 2: Creating a Culture of Belonging: Supporting Curriculum and Understanding Indigenous Learning Processes
The second part in the Weaving Ways eCourse will focus on creating educational environments that foster belonging. You will be introduced to three Indigenous themes that research has identified as successfully supporting a sense of belonging in classrooms, or as whole-school approaches. As participants, you will unpack ideas of belonging and brainstorm ways to weave these teachings into what you are currently doing.
Section 3: Instructional Design: Supporting Curriculum and Understanding Indigenous Learning Processes
In the third section of the eCourse, you will explore how Indigenous communities approach understanding in ways that are holistic, collaborative, and relational and consider how these approaches can enhance your current practices to support deep learning for students. You will be introduced to a variety of online resources with tools, examples, and templates to support your planning and thinking.
Section 4: Pedagogy: Supporting Curriculum and Understanding Indigenous Learning Processes
This fourth section in the Weaving Ways eCourse will focus on historical forms of teaching in Indigenous societies. The goal of this section is inspire you to teach in alternate ways that benefit all learners. We will talk about the importance of people, places, and processes and discuss how you might weave these traditional teaching methods into current teaching practices.
Section 5: Sharing Through Story: Supporting Curriculum and Understanding Indigenous Learning Processes
The fifth and last section of the Weaving Ways of the course reveals how stories connect us to family, friends, the land, and even ourselves. These teachings have the potential to benefit schools and help to support the curriculum implementation process by seeing stories as an extension or a foundation to our curriculum. Learn how song, dance, landscapes and art can be woven into the ways you currently teach or tell stories.

When my engine is idling, especially when cold, there is a knocking or banging sound coming from inside. Is this normal?
Believe it or not it is perfectly normal. The actual cause of that noise seems to be in some dispute with 'expert' opinions ranging from the clutch basket (because you'll notice the sound goes away when you pull in the clutch lever) to the balance shafts bouncing around due to slack in the drive chain. Still others blame the clutch overrun mechanism that protects against the rear tire sliding if you downshift and pop the clutch.
I lean toward the clutch basket theory. There are tabs on each of the friction plates that fit into slots in the basket. It isn't a particularly tight fit. When a V-Twin idles the power pulses aren't even so the engine is actually speeding up and slowing down which makes the clutch plates 'slop' back and forth in the slots causing the knocking sound. The good news is, it isn't hurting anything, it's just annoying.
There is a fix. All you have to do is be sure your engine is idling at the factory recommended 950 rpm (+ - 50). At that speed the idle is smooth enough that whatever lash is causing the banging isn't an issue any longer. BTW another good reason to keep the engine at recommended idle speed is oil pressure. Dropping RPM so you have that really cool sounding potato-potato sound means little or no oil getting up to your overhead cams which means excessive wear which means big bucks out of your pocket.
