7 Fonts Are All We Need
Did you know that there are about 297 display font families in Google Fonts and 345 in Font Squirrel?
However, we usually use only 2 or 3 per project, and we tend to repeat a lot of the choices we've made in the past.
If we already know there is a certain number of fonts that meet the requirements we usually have, why not simplify by limiting the typical research time required by having a pre-selection?
Trash the rest
All too often, I find myself feeling obligated to consider every font to be confident of my final choice.
This can quickly turn the process of typeface selection for each new project into something tedious and time-consuming.
Vignelli Associates studio used a depurative approach in the 70's when selecting their typefaces.In the words of Massimo himself for the promotion of his show "A few basic typefaces" in 1991:
"In the new computer age, the proliferation of typefaces and type manipulations represents a new level of visual pollution threatening our culture. Out of thousands of typefaces, all we need are a few basic ones, and trash the rest. (…) "
This does not mean that some typefaces are good and the rest are bad. But are they all necessary for our professional development? Does jumping from one font to another in each new project gives us more control over it?
Our fonts
As a small internal experiment, we decided to replicate Vignelli Associates' idea.
Our goal is to expedite and improve our work but also the development team, reducing the options to a handful of fonts that meet different requirements:
- Designed for screens (since our focus is UI)
- Wide range of variables
- Easy to implement (free or specific to an operating system)
- Features that consider different design possibilities such as being fit for headlines, for long paragraphs, modern, classic, delicate, geometric, and all that other nonsense that we designers pay attention to.
It was also necessary to test how the preselected fonts behaved when implemented on a website. Using its default configuration, observing how good its line spacing, tracking and kerning were, if it required many adjustments or a few to advance further in the filtering process.
The cheat sheet
To ensure easy access to our fonts, we created an online page with different combinations of sizes, weights, kerning and line spacing of the typefaces we selected. Abstracting from other aggregates such as color or content, in order to observe the fonts relate to each other in a more elementary way.
As long as we continue using these typefaces and reap their respective benefits, we will be able to refine our management and selection and this page will also be the place to reflect our learning.
Knowing how to properly work with typefaces requires having a wide knowledge of the font family chosen–this is very important in order to get the most out of it.
Hopefully, by limiting our typeface choices, we will not only improve efficiency in our work, but also become experts in their use.

... in trust
A few weeks ago one of my oldest friends called me out of the blue. I thought she was just ringing for a chat as she would occasionally do, but within a minute it turned out this was not so, she had some news. She's moving to Antarctica to a remote research station... for a period of 18 months, not the rest of her life, I'm glad to add.
I was overjoyed for her, and after I had spoken to her I paused to reflect on why I found the news so exciting. Partly, because she's living a dream of hers, and taking the opportunity while she still can. But it was more than that. I realised that a few years previously, news like that might have upset me, because I'm not very good at change, even other people's. I would perhaps have been sad that I wouldn't see her, envious that she was having an adventure, and anxious for her safety. All that would have been coupled with a generalised anxiety that we'd lose touch.
Hearing this news now though, I felt none of those negative emotions. Reflecting on this further, I realised it was partly because my own life was in a different, more secure place, and because she and I have been friends for 17 years, I know that our friendship has already withstood tests of distance and changing life circumstances, and I'm absolutely sure that we'll still be friends when she returns from her trip.
In these situations when one experiences an absolute, unadulterated joy for another, I feel sure that this is what God wants for them. Another aspect of this is that the sense of security I have in that old, tested friendship is the same feeling I have about my relationship with God.

Parade Day 2
I went to another Saint Patricks day parade this weekend. This time it was in Old Town Manassas VA, and the weather was perfect. Instead of a cold overcast dreary day, we were blessed with a fairly warm sunny afternoon.
Once the parade got underway I worked my way up main street going from one side to the other to get a good vantage point and to have the best light. You can only take so many pictures of parade participants until it can become boring, so I also spent time scanning the crowd for interesting shot opportunities.
My cameras of choice for this event were the Olympus OM-D E-M5 with the great Zuiko 75mm f1.8 lens to capture most of the detail along with the Fuji X100 for wide angle shots. I am just smitten with this Zuiko lens. At an equivalent 150mm focal length you can really isolate your subject and create excellent bokeh.
I decided to go ahead and process most of the shots I liked in black and white since I am such a huge black and white fan. However for some of the pictures leaving them in color provided the most appealing image. The opening shot worked best in color due to the vibrant uniforms being worn by the bag pipers.

Da Ali G Show
The HBO version of "Da Ali G Show," also known as "Ali G in da USAiii," is a satirical TV series created by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. In the series, Baron Cohen plays as three unorthodox journalists — the main character Ali G, a Kazakhstani named Borat Sagdiyev, and a gay Austrian named Brüno. The trio conduct interviews with unsuspecting people (many of whom are celebrities, high-ranking government officials and other well-known persons), during which they ask absurd and ridiculous questions. Through his characters' ridiculous nature, Cohen makes unscripted attempts at satirizing and exposing "people's ignorance and prejudice."

What a whirlwind of activity we have had today! Every camper hurried down the camp road excited to find out their cabin for these next two weeks. We have many new campers who are quite excited for the session to begin.
As everyone moved their belongings into the cabin, the counselors began going over activities for this session along with some general camp rules. The campers said hurried goodbyes as the camp day finally began!
Today was filled with rules and introductions which always seems to take some time no matter how many times we have done it! As soon as everything had been discussed, our new girls went with Catherine, our water front director, to be tested for swimming. It was not necessarily a test but more of a chance for them to show what they know to Catherine. They were placed in their appropriate swimming levels and hurried off to change for dinner!
Per tradition, our dinner consisted of hot dogs and baked beans! A new addition of sweat potatoes was added! For dessert, everyone gobbled up brownies. We are all now putting on tied shoes for our traditional first night evening program game. Tonight, we will be playing a dodgeball game that we call "Medical War"! In this game, campers have the chance to be a "medic" who will "save" campers on their team if they get out by a dodgeball thrown from the other team. Everyone really enjoys this game and all of the returning campers look forward to it, along with the staff!
We look forward to an exciting session filled with fun games, activities, and good weather!

It's been tons of fun following Ashley on Snapchat. In just a short time, I've watched Ashley make a lot progress professionally. Every time she snaps now it seems like she's off somewhere networking or making a deal! Out of curiosity, I stopped writing this to check Snapchat and of course... today, she's on her way to Vaynermedia!
Ashley's Thoughts on Snapchat in 2016
1. Who are you and how have you leveraged the Snap platform in 2016?
My name is Ashley Kruempel and I call myself accidental entrepreneur because quite frankly I never knew I was going to start my own business nor did I ever intend to want to... You see just a little over year ago I was nobody on social media and had just started my LinkedIn account in the hopes of trying to find a full-time corporate position to put my degree to use. To make a long story short, fast-forward to today and now not only have I grown an audience on LinkedIn from 600 to over 3000 completely organically. It was at that point I realized that what I had was far more than a skill, but actually a talent and I began asking myself how far could I take it?
I've been leveraging social media since back in the days of a a while when we used to go to chat rooms and the most common phrase was a/s/l? I was selling my clothes on Facebook in Arizona when I was in college and you still needed a .edu address to sign up for an account. I heard about Snapchat from Gary Vaynerchuk and thought if I can book all these meetings here locally with a variety of C suite officials I wonder who I could get to through Snapchat... two weeks later I was snapping with Matt Mazzeo & Chris Saaca. Now, granted the conversation wasn't very productive, but nonetheless, I had an open line of communication with a celebrity status, reputation with the same person I had watched sit as a guest investor and shark on Shark Tank the night before. From that point on, I truly spent a lot of time consuming content from others that were in similar situations or that had already become successful. I was sharing their journey. I learned more about myself than I ever could've imagined and I also began to form truly valuable relationships with people from all over the world, all different walks of life, and all different stages in their career. That was amazing… I had wished that everybody knew how amazing it was to engage on social media, and if there were only a way that I could share this with everybody. And then the global snap swap was born… I had this crazy initiative to gather up 50 countries all in one day to host the most epic Snapchat takeover and a true display of community collaboration.
I specifically only used two platforms to pull this off. One was Snapchat and the other was Anchor. Surprisingly I ended up coming up with 30 countries in seven days which I was more than pleased with. I stayed up all night long and guided each social influencer through the takeover process as they each had 1520 minutes to show their perspective of where they were at the world from a personal view. What was even more amazing is how the participants went above and beyond what I had expected to truly show, not only where they were at, but something that has significant value to them or their nation. It really became a personal experience. With Victoria Taylor sharing the history of Robin Hood from a castle in the UK, too Erica Blair taking us to the beauty that is Chang Mai... Chris Covert invited us to the warmth of his backyard to jump on the trampoline... to the tropical paradise of the Scuba diving. A rare look from the streets of the Ukraine to the beauty and tranquility from a set of entrepreneurs in Costa Rica. From the perspective of an Airbnb hosting company.
The beauty was in the passion of the people, and was so clearly portrayed during this opportunity. Some people said that it was better than the Travel Channel and I truly think that's because it was from the personal view and made us feel like we were there with them. It was absolutely amazing and I felt a true connection to each and every participant and have both amazing relationships with quite a few of them since then. People who I probably may never meet but will always consider one of my dearest friends. That's the difference that I see that makes Snap chat so special. It's not about how many viewers you have or who your target market is, compared to who's watching your content. It's about connecting with people Snapchat has blown my business up from being able to do that.
Now that Snapchat has announced its plans to run an IPO later on this year, I love that it has become so relevant to the B2B community. It now sees the things that I've been saying for months and months, and is all the sudden interesting to them. This is where I see you Chaar gap in the workforce economy. And it's the use of a practical approach and social media. I mean it's sad, that around large groups when I introduced myself and I say that I work in social media, I usually get a shrug of the shoulders or a roll of the eyes like it's not important. But then, one by one, each personal connection that I make justifies my purpose, by being blown away through a two minute conversation. I owe the majority of that to Snapchat, and I also think that that is the value prop that Snapchat has against competitors like Instagram and Facebook. Sure, they might have a larger reach and they may have more analyzable metrics to satisfy everyone's ROI obsession, but the truth is in what you can do with your audience, not how big it is. I think that Instagram has a one up in some areas like retail and fashion for sure, but I don't know. I see a lot of opportunity for Snapchat in the future.
I'm sensing a one click monetization option coming soon, as well as they just rolled out the global search bar making it easier to discover people and with the VR acquisitions. As soon as the tech community catches up with what's going on in "SOCIAL Ville," they'll realize that they can launch their newly developed games through their platform in VR mixed with AI! I can't really knock Instagram stories because I don't know enough about it yet, but what I do know is that I don't know anybody who hangs out with someone they met on Instagram... so I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Either way though it really doesn't matter what platform you're on, it only matters that you're on the platform your consumers are on and that's why you should know what they all are. Whether you're going to use them or not, the worst thing you can do is brush it off and not care.
I've actually just started a speaking to her locally as I launch snapatwork.com, which is a one stop shop for all of your Snapchat for business needs on new relationship marketing techniques, here in the Twin Cities area. My company specializes in helping small business owners leverage social media, but we have specifically been doing quite a bit of work on Snapchat and now are headed into more live streaming. If you want to know more or catch up you can find us on snapatwork.com or SOCIALiMPACTBRANDING.com and of course this is why they say ask Ashley K, cause I know how to get the conversation started!
Thank You Ashely!
Ashley, thanks again for stopping by and taking the time to share what you've been working on. You'll have to come back by and fill us in on how the Vayner meeting went! Jump on Snap and follow Ashley today! User name: akruempell.
Make sure to read the thoughts of Justin Wu and Mike McGrail too!

Pianist Marcus Bingham is a recent graduate of Leeds College of Music achieving a BA (Hons) in Classical Music. Whilst studying piano, Marcus has been fortunate to receive tuition with distinguished pianists with national and international reputation, such as Raymond Banning, Marie-Noelle Kendall, Jakob Fichert and Nico de Villiers. Marcus has particular interest in piano accompaniment, chamber and classical contemporary music.
Previous engagements include accompanying for the Music and the Deaf Society in Halifax and the Leeds College of Music Annual Gala Concert (LCoM 50 Years). For two years running, Marcus was selected as a 'Young Emerging Artist' at the 2016 and 2017 Leeds Lieder Festival. More recent engagements include the world premier of 'Four Songs for Iris Barry' commissioned by the Bergen National Opera and appearances at the Bristol Song Recital Series.

She is an active recitalist and regularly performs throughout the UK, most recently in Bristol as part of the Bristol Song Recital Series. She is thankful for the support from The Rotary Club of Leeds, from whom she received the RotaryCooke-Webster Prize (2016).

She was alsoinvited to sing at Leeds Lieder Festival at the Composer's and Poet's Showcase in April 2017.
In 2017 Rachael also sung with British Youth Opera, and followed this with her European debut at the Veneto Operaestate Festival, Italy, with the Melofonetica Summer School in August 2017. This led to her being asked to perform at the Italian Cultural Institute as part of a masterclass series with Nicholas Chalmers (Neville Holt Opera) and Carmen Solís (soprano): La Giovane Scuola: Protagonists and Antagonists. During her studies at Leeds College of Music, Rachael was selected for the Margaret MarklandChoral Scholarship, leading to many performances with The Yorkshire Philharmonic Choir.
Rachael took on various roles, including 2nd Witch in Dido and Aeneas (2015) and Lay Sister in Suor Angelica (2016). She has been involved in various workshops and masterclasses, leading to her working with the likes of Mary King, Maitland Peters, Chris Glynn, Alison Pearce and Paul Phoenix

Why does the quantity thirteen evoke emotions of
uncertainty and uneasiness? Is it actually an
unfortunate quantity? What began this stigma
about thirteen?
Triskaidekaphobia means the worry of quantity thirteen.
Typically, this worry triggers panic assaults, impacts
household and enterprise relationships. Is thisoted
in superstition? Quantity thirteen displays man's worry
of the unknown.
Custom traces this worry of thirteen on the desk to the
Final Supper- Jesus dined together with his twelve apostles.
The inference was somebody was going to die
inside a short while. Judas betrayed Jesus,
overcome by his guilt, he hold himself.
Mythology has its personal story. The Norse gods have been
having a banquet for 12 on the Valhalla when Loki,
one of many evil gods gatecrashed the get together. Balder
was the god of sunshine, pleasure and reconciliation. He had
a blind brother whom Loki tricked into throwing a
sprig of mistletoe on Balder's chest which killed
him (Balder). Mistletoe is the one earthly factor
that was deadly to Balder.
Into the Center Ages, the stigma towards Friday
the thirteenth bigger stronger. On Friday, October thirteen, 1307,
King Phillip! V of France ordered the arrest of the
Grand Grasp of the Knights Templar and his senior
knights and different members.They have been tortured to
compel them to confess to "wrongdoings."
They usually have been executed. Sympathizers of the Templars
condemned Friday the thirteenth as an evil day.
Later within the 18th century, this perception about Friday the thirteenth
was once more strengthened. The British ship HMS Friday was
launched on a Friday, the thirteenth, the captain was a person
named Jim Friday. The ship was by no means seen nor hear
from once more.
Do these occasions justify the stigma hooked up to
quantity thirteen? It's documented that this worry of Friday the
thirteenth prices tens of millions of dollars a yr in enterprise loss
due absenteeism and canceled appointments.
Some "unfortunate" occasions related to thirteen is
the well-known Apollo thirteen mission in 1970. It was
launched on 1313 hours, from pad 39 (thirteen x three),
three of the sleeping preparations for the astronauts
have been timed to start out at thirteen minutes previous the hour
and so was one of many potential splashdown.
On April thirteenth, the primary of the a number of setbacks to
Apollo thirteen occurred and this added drama to the mission.
In lots of lodges and skyscrapers, there isn't a thirteenth
flooring.Most airplanes haven't any seat No. thirteen. In Italy,
it's ordinary to go away out thirteen in numbering the
lottery tickets.
13 for dinner? Not in France. A celebration of
13 can rent knowledgeable quatorzieme, a
fourteenth individual, from an company. In some huge
hospitals, there isn't a Working Room thirteen, to
spare the affected person added nervousness being wheeled
into Room thirteen.
thirteen is the perfect variety of individuals in a covenant.
It's believed that to left-handed individuals, thirteen
is their fortunate quantity.
However why is quantity thirteen given such a damaging
implication? This dates again to many centuries,
and nonetheless holds immediately within the twenty first century.
Maybe the anticipation of the negativity of
quantity thirteen makes it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Why might it not be any quantity?

Finished reading Austin Kleon's Steal Like An Artist, here are a few of the many things that really resonated with me:
- Fake it until you make it.
- Practice productive procrastination.
- When you open up your process and invite people in you learn more.
- When you are unknown you have freedom to experiment. You will never get that freedom again once people start paying you money for doing what you do.
- Be nice the world is a small town.
- Create an analog and digital workstation.
- Use a logbook everyday.
- Nothing is more paralyzing than limitedless possibilities, the way to get over this creative block put some constraints on yourself.
Who is this book for? Everyone.
Some of the advice you will already know yes, but it is so nice to hear it reaffirmed. Some advice will blow your mind and some you might not fully appreciate at this stage in your career / life / journey. Regardless you will be better off after this quick and enlightening read, I am.

I sometimes have to look up words in a dictionary if the meaning is not completely clear to me. For that purpose, I can use a dictionary that i have at home, or use one of the various online dictionaries. The same is true when I do not know a word in a foreign language that I speak. I can look it up at home or get translations online.
Lingoes is a free dictionary and text translation software for the Windows operating system. The application offers an incredible feature set for a free program, more about that later in the review.
The program ships with an English dictionary and integration of multiple online translation services. Free dictionary files for additional languages are offered at the developer website. They need to be downloaded, unpacked and then loaded into the application.
All dictionaries are accessible at the same time. Words or phrases can be looked up by entering them in the search form on top of the program. Lingoes will automatically display the best match, and adjacent words in its interface.
The word definitions and phonetic form are displayed on the results page, along with the dictionary it has been found in. Phrases can also be picked with the mouse directly in the sidebar. Lingoes tries to automatically match the phrase to one of the installed dictionaries. It is possible to select a specific dictionary instead if the user wants to look up a phrase in one of the available dictionaries. Otherwise, the first matching dictionary will be used for the definition.
Dictionaries are added in the dictionary options menu. Here it is possible to install or uninstall dictionaries
A right-click on a word or phrase opens a context menu with several options, including possibilities to let the program pronounce the selected text, and search or print it.
A click on text translation in the main menu opens a small text input form in the program. Text entered into the form can be translated using one out of 13 different translation services ranging from Google Translate to Baidu Translation and Yahoo Babelfish.
The translated text is directly displayed in the program interface.
Text translation and dictionary look ups are the two main features of Lingoes. Hotkeys are available to use the program's functionality on a system wide level.
This feature worked nicely in all tested programs, from Firefox over Thunderbird to Microsoft Office. The program hotkeys are defined in the program configuration. Here are the most important standard hotkeys:
The speech functionality uses build in text to speech capabilities of the operating system, with an option to download the free Natural Voice engine pack from the developer website.
Lingoes is an excellent program for users who need dictionary and / or text translation functionality on a regular basis. The program is available as a portable version or installer, and can be extended to work with more than 80 different languages.Advertisement

I'm going down memory lane (in pictures) and giving you two of my all-natural hair care recipes that have contributed to my hair being healthier and more beautiful than ever!
Leading a natural life is easier said than done in our chemical-laden society. One may not realize the amount of chemicals we consume throughout the day until trying to eliminate said chemicals. I'm making progress each day but I, like everyone, fall back on old habits when in a hurry or traveling. For this "Gone Natural" series, I'll share my journey (successes and failures) on leading a more natural existence, one that coexists with the processes of nature versus an existence that tries to reverse nature or lives in combustion with it.
Hair Abuse
Growing up, my hair used to be dirty blonde with natural sunlights. During high school, like many of us women, the media and societal pressures made me feel like I should change my hair or dye it to be expressive, and I started changing the color of my hair from red to purple to blonde. I had this sudden urge when I was 17 to let my friend experiment on my hair (right before senior pictures, of course). She claimed to know what she was doing and I thought, "Why not?". We went for pink hair.
I destroyed my hair. My mom was horrified. My friend had moved to Orange County and started seeing this guy Alex to do her hair. She suggested I go to him and despite the cost of the swanky hair salon where Alex worked, my mom happily took me there for the sake of my hair.
Alex not only rescued my hair, but he made it fabulous, and we became best friends. For over a decade, we had a blast changing my look. Near the end of 2012, I decided to stop processing my hair and just let it grow out. I've always complained that my hair grows very slow (it's super thick!) but constantly dying it doesn't help. In fact, there was a time when I had a blonde chunk on the top of my hair that actually broke off. Alex and I laugh about that constantly now as we reminisce all the crazy styles we did. See my journey of forever-changing hairstyles since 2004 and how it looks now!
Natural Beauty
I must admit, I had forgotten what my normal hair color looked like or I mistakenly believed I couldn't have it again. We tell ourselves all kinds of things to avoid growing our hair out and convince ourselves that fake dyes are other colors are better than what we have. If I had just loved myself from a young age and not felt the urge to change my look, I could've saved thousands of dollars, avoiding ingesting pounds of toxic chemicals, and had beautiful, natural hair this whole time. Before, I wasn't one to get compliments for having beautiful hair, but that's now changed since going natural! At a yoga photoshoot, one stylist asked me if my hair is "virgin" (meaning not processed) and when I replied, "yes", she asked if I would consider selling my hair (she makes wigs). I said, "definitely not". But I was flattered nonetheless!
I use an all-natural homemade hair mask made of essential oils (recipe below) once a week to help stimulate the hair follicles and boost hair growth. I also made a serum that I use when I need some frizz control or shine (recipe also below). It's basically a homemade Moroccan oil. For shampoo & conditioner, I use organic and vegan brands and sometimes I skip that and rinse my scalp with straight apple cider vinegar. It helps to strip any buildup from products and the environment and gets my hair feeling clean and shiny. I've heard some girls say they use baking soda with water in place of shampoo but I haven't tried this yet (don't do this at the same time as vinegar as this could burn your scalp).
My hair is now back to the dirty blondish color as when I was a child and it gets blonde when I spend time in the sun. There are inches of my hair that are blonder than others from the different times of the year I live in Costa Rica as I spend more time outdoors there, and I like to think of my hair as rings on a tree, expressing the different places I've lived and been.
Rima's Homemade Moroccan Oil
This serum is appropriate for all hair types. The amount you use will be dependent on your hair situation! If you have greasy hair, use less. If you want frizz control or have hair that's drier, use a bit more.
- 1/4 cup organic Argan oil
- 1/4 cup organic Rosehips oil
- 1/4 cup organic Jojoba oil
- 1 teaspoon organic Vitamin E oil
- 10 - 20 drop of organic essential oils (think Lavender, Grapefruit, Sandalwood, or Peppermint)
You'll need
- Measuring cup
- Glass storage jar or pump (oils will eat through the plastic)
- Mix equal parts of the first three ingredients plus Vitamin E oil together in the jar.
- Add an essential oil or a blend of 2 - 3, being careful not to use too much. Test it out as you add them. You can always add more but the first 4 ingredients are expensive and you don't want to waste them if you add too much essential oil.
- Mix it all up and use sparingly. A little goes a long way! Use about a teaspoon at a time and base it on your hair needs.
#Natural #hair. Blog includes 2 #DIY #haircare #recipes, pics of my hair journey since 2004 https://t.co/dO98o4j4Fz pic.twitter.com/pSoRMkzykd— Rima Danielle Jomaa (@rima_danielle) November 17, 2015
Rima's Hair Growing Hair Mask
This mask is invigorating and energizing for the scalp, and it promotes follicle health and boosts hair growth. I apply this once a week a few hours before washing my hair. I add the oils with a tear dropper around my scalp and comb it through to the ends (don't worry about saturating the hair, though, as this recipe is for the scalp). Then I add some coconut oil to the bowl and comb that through my hair! I throw it up and let it sit and do it's magic. It's appropriate for all hair types.
- 20 drops organic Rosemary essential oil
- 20 drops organic Sage essential oil
- 20 drops organic Peppermint essential oil
- Optional: 20 drops organic Lavender essential oil
- About 4 - 5 Tbs of organic Jojoba oil (or other carrier oil); use less or more based on the length of your hair
- Optional: Organic coconut oil, liquid
You'll need
- Measuring spoon
- Glass bowl
- Tear dropper
- Comb
- Mix ingredients together in glass bowl.
- Use tear dropper to add it along your scalp, massaging it into your scalp gently.
- Use the comb to spread the oil evenly and start to bring it down towards the ends (focus mostly on the scalp). Don't worry if it doesn't saturate all of your hair, as this mask is meant to stimulate the scalp mostly.
- Optional step: I put some liquid coconut oil (you can soften it with the heat from your hands if it's formed) in the bowl to get the additional oils and then I comb that through my hair to the ends to get extra conditioning.
- Let sit for 20 minutes to a couple of hours before washing and conditioning hair normally (I wash my hair twice to get the oil out).
- Repeat weekly or as needed.
*Allergen Warning: Make sure you're not allergic to ANY of these ingredients prior to applying this much oil to you hair. The peppermint oil causes a natural tingling sensation but there should never be burning or pain. If there is, wash immediately with soap and water.
More of my Hair Care Secrets
- My hair is fairly thick, so I only wash it once a week (twice MAXIMUM), even with yoga and all that jazz. It allows my hair to retain it's natural oils versus being stripped away by shampoo and replaced with conditioner.
- In between washing, I use the "Scritch and Preen" method. Google it. :-)
- I braid my hair a lot when going to sleep, for yoga, or just during the day. I wanted to learn how to do nice braids so I taught myself various methods via YouTube. Now, people act as if I'm performing magic. I often hear, "Did you braid that yourself?" "How did you do that?" And my favorite, "You look like Elsa!" All for a french braid. When I do a fish tail braid, people really go crazy. I love the compliments and it's super easy to do, so teach yourself and practice!
- You can also braid your hair to help style it by braiding when wet and then letting it down when dry. I do that all the time and it accentuates my natural waves. I rarely use heat on my hair anymore! If I do, it's for a special occasion and feels like a "treat" or feels strange.
What ways have you gone natural with your haircare regimen?

My forever-changing hair styles over the last decade
My hair is finally growing out again! It's literally taken a decade! The top picture, 2004, shows the longest my hair was before I chopped it off, and it's taken time and patience to grow it back out. I'm glad I no longer rely on dyes, plugs, or appliances to find my beauty and I can feel happy with who I am.

Romantic Wedding Hairstyles
Weddings are all about romance no matter if you are the bride or simply the bridesmaid so it makes so choosing a romantic hairstyle is the next logical step. If you have trouble deciding what type of hairstyle to choose the following hairstyles can serve as a worthwhile source of inspiration.
With all the romance that is floating in the air it might be hard to tell the difference between a romantic and an ''unromantic'' hairstyle. While romanticism is a relatively subjective term for each one of us, as each one of us might have different definitions when it comes to the elements that contribute to the impression of a romantic hairstyle.
However it is generally accepted that a romantic hairstyle is one that emphasizes the woman's natural beauty, softening her features giving her an innocent allure. Incorporating all these characteristics in a single hairstyle might seem difficult but luckily, hairstylists offer us a multitude of hairdos that are truly awe-inspiring.
Loose chignons are not only super trendy this year but also an optimal choice for those who aim to get an elegant and romantic look without having to worry about perfection. Chignons are suitable for medium long hair being adaptable for a wide range of occasions formal or less formal.
Creating chignons is fairy easy following a few simple steps. First, you need to create a low ponytail which you will use to create a loose bun. From here you have a wide variety of options depending on your personal style and your skills. From here you have a wide variety of options depending on your personal style and your skills. You may choose a partially or fully braided braided bun or you can opt for a stylish side chignon.
Soft wavy hairstyles are ideal for long and medium fine hair because it ads volume to the and are fairly easy to maintain, looking stylish and elegant.
Soft wavy hairstyles are suitable especially for those who have a square face shape as it invariably softens the harsh angles that are characteristic for this face shape. While these hairstyles can be easily recreated at home, to ensure maximum definition it's best to turn to the professional services of a beauty salon.
Remember that you should schedule your appointment long before the event to avoid any unpleasant surprises. On the big night you might want to carry gel spray or or a shine serum with you, in case you need to make some final adjustments.
Side swept hairstyles have always been considered some of the most romantic hairstyles around contributing to a timeless, feminine and glamorous look. Flattering for almost all face shapes and easily adaptable to various outfits deep side parted hairstyles are definitely interesting ad intriguing, regardless of whether you choose a glamorous side-swept updo, a half/up down hairstyle or a complicated structural hairstyle.
In order to create gorgeous wavy hairstyles many women are tempted to use a curling iron due to the fact that it can prove to be very convenient as well as a great time saver. However it is recommended to resist this urge because regular use curling irons damages the hair follicle making the hair look dull and lifeless. On the other hand, hot rollers are a much better alternative that has more mild effects over the hair structure being less damaging.
Hair accessories are an important part of a romantic hairstyle, adding a festive touch to any coiffure. Whether we choose delicate feathery accessories, big flowers or precious Swarovski crystals details are a necessary addition.
Regardless of the hair style you choose it's important to maintain your hair healthy and strong by adopting a intensive hair care routine at least a month before the major event for best results. Try to cut down on chemical treatments for your hair and avoid styling the hair with heat styling tools as much as possible. In addition, weekly hot oil treatments and homemade masks will help the hair regain the healthy glow that you desire if they are applied religiously.

Today's look is a pretty and polished look. With the oxfords and the white blouse and not to mention the white headband, I'm definitely channeling a clean and feminine look. Not to mention I really love the big bow that's in the middle of my blouse. It prevents the outfit from looking too plain by adding an extra detail to the blouse. This way its not just a white blouse.
If there was no bow I would've probably style it with a statement necklace or something of some sort over the blouse. I know I'm wearing tights in this outfit since it was still chilly, but the blouse is definitely thin enough to wear it even with warmer weather and I can wear it without tights as well. But I think having the tights is what lets me pair it with the oxfords, it just didn't look as right when I wore them by themselves but that all depends on opinion and your style.
Paired with the blouse is a red skater skirt, and they're great because they're versatile and can flatter many body types and at one point I was really into wearing them and I still style them into my outfits but these days I prefer more pleated skirts or ones that aren't as flared out.
Look at my weird bangs... it's so in the middle of being too short for the rest of my hair but being too long to be proper bangs.

It's for myself. To chronicle the passions in my life, to express my thoughts in words, to honor myself. I am grateful that each morning when I wake up, even if I am feeling low, I look forward to doing something creative. It could be through art, gardening, cooking, so many ways... It just flows through me and I lose myself in time. I become fully present in the moment which is the place at which I am most content in this life.

Facebook, Google, Twitter and Microsoft have said they will ramp up efforts to fight terrorist content after a meeting with the Home Secretary.
The companies pledged to increasingly share best practice and work together on technical tools to spot and take down extremist propaganda.
Tech firms such as Facebook have been criticised for not doing enough to prevent terror-related content.
:: WhatsApp feels the heat over Westminster terror attack
The issue was brought to the fore again in the days after the Westminster atrocity after it emerged 'terror handbooks' on how to launch an attack were easily available on the internet.
Khalid Masood was also revealed to have been on WhatsApp minutes before starting his rampage.
The app - which was not represented at the meeting - uses 'end to end' encryption, which it says means that neither it nor the authorities can read Masood's messages.
:: Messaging apps and terror: Seven key questions
After the summit with Home Secretary Amber Rudd, the tech bosses said they would "encourage the further development of technical tools to identify and remove terrorist propaganda".
"Companies apply unique content policies and have developed - and continue to develop - techniques appropriate for or unique to their own platforms," they said.
"Nonetheless, there is a significant opportunity to share the knowledge gained in these varied efforts to develop innovative solutions."
They also said they would look at creating a new forum to work together more and boost the sharing of best practice.
"Each of our companies also commits to urgently improve that collaboration," they said.

The four firms will also give more support to newer tech businesses on how to fight terrorist material.
Speaking after the summit, the Home Secretary said she wanted social networks and internet firms to take a more pro-active role "to go further and faster in not only removing online terrorist content but stopping it going up in the first place".
Ms Rudd said it was also important that smaller and emerging services got support from the big industry players to stop terrorists using them as an alternative.
She last week accused tech firms of giving terrorists a "place to hide".

A family is sitting around the supper table. The son asks his father, "Dad, how many kinds of breasts are there? The father, surprised, answers, "Well, son, there are three kinds of breasts.
In her twenties, a women's breasts are like melons, round and firm. In her thirties to forties, they are like pears, still nice but hanging a bit. After fifty, they are like onions." "Onions?" said the boy "Yes, see them and they make you cry." the father replied.
This infuriated the wife and daughter so the daughter said, "Mum, how many kinds of willies are there?" The mother, surprised, smiles and looks at her daughter and answers, "Well dear, a man goes through three phases.
In a man's twenties, his willy is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his thirties and forties, it is a birch, flexible but reliable.
After his fifties, it is like a Christmas tree " "A Christmas tree?" said the daughter "Yes, dead from the root up and the balls are for decoration only"

Have you had moments during your day when you began doing something and the next thing you noticed hours and hours had passed? It seems like minutes but in fact hours had gone by. All this time, you were a state of being called flow, also known as being in the zone or at your peak. At some point in our lives, we have all probably, had moments when we were so engrossed in what we were doing that we completely lost track of time. Often times, this is when we are creating or simply enjoying something intensely.
This has happened to me as well and during such moments, I have experienced a certain ease about things. Ideas flow easily. Creativity is buzzing. I feel energized and often feel like I have dissolved myself in what I am doing. It is absolutely beautiful.
When we are in the flow, there is no resistance. We float along like a canoe that is moving along, in the direction of the river. There seems to be no effort involved. Like the clouds floating wherever the wind takes them.
How can we recreate such moments on desire? How can we repeat them over and over again? And can we live in a perpetual state of flow, every minute of our waking hours?
I can guess that there is research being done out there on this. As I come across it, I will update it to this blog.
For now, I will become aware whenever I have just come out of such states. What we focus on, we become. So be it.
Share with me your moments of being in the Flow. How do you feel when you are in one? Do you know how to recreate such moments on desire?
-Sophia Ojha

I believe there is no best photo but only best moment in every life of people. A perfect combination of body language, expression and the environment build great photos. And photography equipment with highly technical skills give a complete taste of photography.
My passion to photography was inspired by life diversities around my childhood, where different ethnics and lifestyle were showing me a lot of great moments.
I started to take photos since 2008 as a hobby, and getting more enthusiastic in the last 3 years with some works of portrait photographs, traditional events and journalistic.
This is where I put most of my photographs. This website was founded in Sept 2017 by Eko Wahyu HIDAYAT as a showcase for my photography that mostly capture about urban life, people, and story photography.

Fr. Allen's homily on Sunday, 19 August, concerning the abuse scandals in the Catholic Church:
I want to speak to you this morning about the latest abuse scandals in the church, emanating especially from the release last week of the grand jury report in Pennsylvania, but also from the revelations about Cardinal - now former Cardinal - Theodore McCarrick, the retired archbishop of Washington, D.C. I know it's not pleasant to hear these things, and one aspect of the harm done, though certainly not the worst, is that rather than pondering the words of our Lord - Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you - we are talking about these sordid, vile, and criminal betrayals instead. But we must.
And the first thing I want to say is, I am sorry. I am sorry for what has happened at the hands of my fellow priests. I have begun doing penance for reparation of these sins, and my private Masses, for at least the rest of this year, are offered for the victims of priestly abuse.
As to these latest revelations, you should understand that, in the main, the Pennsylvania grand jury report confirmed what we already knew, both good and bad. First the good, and this really is important. The Catholic Church in the United States, our parishes and our schools, today are very safe places for children. Since the rounds of scandals that began to emerge in the 1990's and especially the Boston-area scandals of 2002, incidents of abuse are very low, particularly as compared to other institutions both religious and secular, and when they do occur and are reported, they are handled immediately and properly - that is, transparently and with the immediate and appropriate involvement of the civil authorities. Here at Corpus Christi and St Mary's we very carefully and intentionally adhere to all the safe environment protocols put in to place since the Dallas Charter was adopted in 2002. Your children are safe here, and I say that as one who is a father of young children. They are safe at our local Catholic Schools. That doesn't mean that continued and careful vigilance isn't needed; it is. And you must hold your priests and principals and teachers and other leader's feet to the fire.
The Pennsylvania grand jury report covers abuse reported to diocesan chanceries going back 70 years. The overwhelming majority of that abuse occurred in '60s and '70s by priests born in the '30s and '40s. This is just what we learned in 2002. What is new in the Pennsylvania report, and what has, very appropriately, I think, aroused so much anger, is that it gives a deeper, more clear, more horrifically detailed picture of the nature of the abuse that occurred, and also of, in some cases, the utterly inept, and in many other cases actually malfeasant, covering-up, protect-themselves-and-their-institutions-first response of the bishops in question, some of whom are still active. And making things worse is that as these revelations came out, so many bishops and cardinals came out mumbling PR firm-provided talking points about the need for new policies and procedures rather than lamenting their own sin and promising penance, amendment of life, and reparation. Some of them failed in their duty to protect the sheep, but have avoided accountability under a subterfuge of management-speak and corporate expressions of sorrow rather than taking personal responsibility. I don't think they will be able to escape that responsibility any longer, but we will see.
A couple more observations:
This is not a uniquely Catholic problem. Again, other religious and secular institutions are having the exact same issues. That itself is not an excuse and shouldn't make us feel better; we ought to be better. We are the Catholic Church, the Church founded by Jesus Christ, and the Church ought to be a beacon of light, sanity, charity, and rightly-ordered life in the midst of our confused and darkened culture.
This horror is not a product of priestly celibacy. Our celibate priests are less likely to be abusers than the population at large, or, for that matter, the married clergy of other denominations. We know that the great majority of abuse is perpetrated by adults against their own children. And it strikes me as passing strange - I say this as a Catholic priest who actually is married and has children - to suggest that what would help these predators is to have a wife and children.
Having said that, there is something no one has wanted to talk about but which has been dragged into the light by the McCarrick scandal, which has to do with abuse and harassment of seminarians and young priests. There is a crisis of chastity within the priesthood, which is related to the abuse scandals (which are overwhelmingly same-sex in nature) and that crisis is related to the sexuality of some of our priests. It's difficult to talk about in this setting, both plainly and with the nuance required, and to take grateful of account of the great majority of priests who live good and holy lives in the face of all sorts of challenges and temptations, but it will have to be dealt with.
Now, where do we go from here. I'll offer just two thoughts, one on the institutional level and one on the more personal, spiritual level.
First of all, on the institutional level, there should be a forensic audit of every diocese related to abuse claims with the results made public. Every diocese will need to have its Pennsylvania moment. We will find, no doubt, many more examples of bishops and their chancery staffs having failed to properly handle abuse claims and having facilitated abusers by moving them around from parish to parish. We will find that some beloved bishops, bishops who have otherwise done good and beautiful service to the church have badly failed in this regard. But it all needs to come out, every last sordid bit of it. Truth, reconciliation, healing - these things are inextricably linked. We cannot heal without truth. Our bishops have now asked for an Apostolic Visitation - that means a Vatican investigation. Good. But let me say, as many have said, that for that investigation to have any credibility it must have significant, competent, and independent lay leadership. I think that's what we're going to get, but if not, we must be prepared to demand it by whatever licit tools of protest are at our disposal.
And second, and on the more personal and spiritual level, there is a place for anger. Not the deadly sin of anger, the anger that burns out of control and destroys and generates hate and resentment, but the anger of our Lord before the money changers in the Temple, the anger of our Lord as he stood before the grave of Lazarus, the anger of the psalms that long for justice and wholeness and will not be satisfied with less, the anger that serves charity.
But what is that place? How can anger be channelled to charity? I read an interview yesterday with Leah Libresco, a young writer and convert several years ago from atheism. She was asked how she remains joyfully Catholic in the midst of these scandals. She notes that she knew enough biblical and church history before her conversion to be aware of the reality of sin and hypocrisy within the Church. But then she said,
But I think one thing to hold onto is that when we recognize these abuses as horrific, the strength of our response also invites us to recognize the holiness of what has been profaned. A priest's abuse of seminarians carries an additional evil, in addition to the grave evil of sexual abuse and the profanation of authority (that would also apply when any boss or supervisor used his power to entrap his [employees]). The priest also sins as a husband to the Church, dishonoring his vows of chastity. He sins as a father, who wounds his children when he was ordained specifically to heal them through the Eucharist and in the confessional. Hold on to your horror, and remember you are angry because holy things are profaned (the child of God treated as a plaything, the sacraments, etc.). Then run to adore those holy things, as well as to admonish those who profaned them.
And that is what I invite you to do now, this morning. Remember why you are angry - holy things, the gifts and sacramental mysteries of God grace, and God's own beloved children, have been profaned. Hold on to that horror, but then let us adore those holy things even as we demand change so that these things never happen again.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or possibly make them even whiter than your natural color. This office utilizes two whitening proceedures:
Impressions are taken of your upper and lower teeth. Soft plastic trays are fabricated to fit tightly over your teeth. When the trays are delivered to you, you are given several tubes of whitening gel. You will be instructed how to place the gel in the trays at home. The tray and gel system are used for approximately 14 days, either overnight or up to one hour per day. Teeth can lighten up to 8 shades with this method!
ZOOM In-Office Whitening
This proceedure is done in the office. Your front teeth are isolated with a rubber dam, a special bleaching gel is applied and a intense light is directed to your teeth and the gel. This proceedure takes approximately an hour and one half of your time. This office also fabricates trays for you to take home for touch ups in the future. Teeth can lighten up to 10 shades with this proceedure.
Not everyone is a candidate for teeth whitening. A complete examination should be performed before proceeding with the whitening proceedure. Please contact us today to see if you are a candidate for this type of whitening

This paper introduces and combines two novel techniques. Firstly, we introduce an efficient numerical method for the propagation of entire sets of initial conditions in the phase space and their associated phase space densities based on Differential Algebra (DA) techniques. Secondly, this DA density propagator is applied to a DA-enabled implementation of Semi-Analytical (SA) averaged dynamics, combining for the first time the power of the SA and DA techniques. While the DA-based method for the propagation of densities introduced in this paper is independent of the dynamical system under consideration, the particular combination of DA techniques with SA equations yields a fast and accurate method to propagate large clouds of initial conditions and their associated probability density functions very efficiently for long time. This enables the study of the long-term behavior of particles subjected to the given dynamics. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the evolution of a cloud of high area-to-mass objects in Medium Earth Orbit is reproduced considering the effects of solar radiation pressure, the Earth's oblateness and luni-solar perturbations. The computational efficiency is demonstrated by propagating 10; 000 random samples taking snapshots of their state and density at evenly spaced intervals throughout the integration. The total time required for a propagation for 16 years in the dynamics is on the order of tens of seconds on a common desktop PC.

text: TwoDB Tuesday, May 1, 2018 8:30 PM 10:30 PM 20:30 22:30 Google Calendar ICS Award-winning DJ/producer duo twoDB doesn't allow the boundaries of genre rules to hold them back. In fact, it's what makes this New York-based act so special. Fans and other DJs alike know that they can expect a wide variety of dance music from twoDB, from progressive house to trap to big room and beyond. It's this array of different styles that's helped make twoDB into a widely-respected name in dance music. They've been tapped by major labels such as Republic Records, Atlantic Records, and Capitol Records to do official remix work for artists such as Katy Perry, Rudimental (w/ Macklemore and Jess Glynne), Niall Horan, Noah Cyrus, and more. They've also received recognition for many of their unofficial remixes, including winning an award at the 2018 Remix Awards in Miami for their remix of Ed Sheeran's "Perfect", which topped the Remix Top 30 chart for 3 weeks straight and was "the most played remix in America" according to RT30 boss Hollywood Hamilton. twoDB also took home the Remix Award for Rising Remixer of the Year, a testament to their aggressive work ethic and release schedule. They are supported globally by mixshow and club DJs, who play their music as fast as the group can deliver it. Beyond remixes, they spent much of 2017 building up their catalog of original records, and released iParty (ft. Fo Onassis) at the end of the year to support from club DJ's across the country. They kicked off 2018 with the release of the progressive house banger Sauce, and released a brand new remix from California producer Kepik for their single Ocean Avenue. The rest of 2018 will see the release of several more singles and plenty of remixes, as well as a focus on expanding their live presence into new markets.

The Alexandra Series is a true reflection of the many possibilities that exist in this new age of digitalisation. This project, inspired by the #SiemensFABRIC campaign showcases the impact that data collection, analysis and visualisation can have in catalysing the township economy. Understanding the layered intricacies of African cities is the foundation of #SiemensFABRIC (a revolutionary project that showcased how the underlying data of an African city can help transform them into the smart cities of the future), demonstrated by using data to design unique fabrics for each city. Siemens embarked on a data visualisation project in Alexandra to see what could be learnt about the "DNA" of the township but also how this information could be better understood to improve living conditions for the community. After tapping into its digital resources to consolidate this data, the company used the visualisation to create layered patterns of the community which were then printed onto South African woven fabric. The result; a vivid visual representation of the community of Alexandra told through its data attributes.

Located on the Peconic Bay side of Long Island's South Fork, Sag Harbor is a postcard-ready small town that has attracted writers, artists and notables for decades. We spent a beautiful few days there, and on neighboring Shelter Island, shooting our Zenergy story with yoga instructor Colleen Saidman Yee, who lives in Sag Harbor when she's not traveling the world. Here are her recommendations and ours on how to spend the perfect weekend.
What To Do
"Downtown" Sag Harbor: located nearly on the water, Sag Harbor's main drag, the intersections of Main Street and Bay Street, is the ideal place to while away a few hours strolling and browsing, with its eclectic array of small local shops, cafés, and a charming old movie theater to boot. With picturesque views of Peconic Bay, Havens Beach is Colleen's favorite spot to get away from it all, breathe, and relax. Her yoga studio Yoga Shanti, is famous for its warm, welcoming style, making it ideal for beginners and just as sought after for advanced students.
Where To Eat
Provisions Market in Sag Harbor is Colleen's choice for a healthy smoothie and a delicious breakfast. For a more indulgent treat, the croissants and other baked goods at Marie Eiffel Market in Shelter Island are not to be missed!
Where To Stay
A quick ferry ride from Sag Harbor, The Chequit on Shelter Island is a lovely place to spend a relaxing afternoon, reading on the porch, sipping wine. The rooms are stylishly comfortable; it feels like a hotel from a different, more gracious time, but with all the modern touches we've come to love and expect. Added bonus: Red Maple, The Chequit's restaurant, serves delicious, seasonally inspired food, for the perfect cozy night in.
What To Wear
This cold shoulder top from our updated Zenergy line is just like Sag Harbor: chic, easy, and classic. Wear it now, this fall, and forever. We've paired it with our Grace Zip Pocket crops, the perfect transitional pant from summer to fall.

Welcome! I'm Teresa, the hen in a farmhouse nest. I was born in Canada and am now a US Citizen. I inhabit a wonky farmhouse with my husband, Brian, our dogs and parrots and a miniature pig. We also care for alpacas, ducks, chickens, a pair of geese, rabbits, goats, and a couple of barn cats.
Jane Austin once wrote, "There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort". I have to agree. While I often daydream of visiting far off places, my heart longs to be at home. Whether I'm inside or outside, I can find plenty to keep me busy and content. I enjoy the French country decorating style, renovating (as time and budget allow), gardening, reading, creating, and blogging.
I hope to inspire you with simple farm living as we renovate and decorate our wonky farmhouse.
