This year's Color Infusion Style Lab at the Cinematic Convention designer Vaughn Sawyers was inspired by old Hollywood and each character offered at the event represents one specific movie star of the golden era of Hollywood. The collection has a new look and new packaging designed to protect the dolls instead of the bags they used to come in. It is composed of 12 dolls and 12 separate outfits. And this year the edition size per style is 600 pieces across the board. This was decided to ensure that each convention guest would get an equal chance to own one of each of these exciting characters, as in previous years there has been a lot of grief from people who were not able to secure their preferred characters and styles (usually Declan).
Monroe Jillian wearing Outfit Golden Moment. Clearly Marilyn Monroe and a combination of two iconic outfits of hers, one gold and one silver, both designed by Travilla.
The doll outfit is actually two separates, a bodysuit and a skirt.
Up next is Jaeme Costas wearing outfit Mine All Mine. I'm guessing 30s and Adrian but the star eludes me. Anyone?

Up next is Jaeme Costas wearing outfit Mine All Mine. I'm guessing 30s and Adrian but the star eludes me. Anyone?
The next doll is Fan Xi wearing outfit Dark Victory. The doll is a Fan Bing Bing clone and the outfit's name is a Bette Davis film title from 1939, with costumes by Orry Kelly, but I do not remember it in the film. The outfit consists again of bodysuit and skirt.
Fabiana Diaz is shown wearing Outfit Shanghai Bound. The original film is from 1927 and the silent era. The very few images that exist on-line are not relevant to the outfit, which looks more 70s inspired.
The next doll is Adaline King wearing the outfit named Passion. This one was easy - Elisabeth Taylor inspired. It is again a two piece ensemble, bodysuit and skirt.
Taylor wore a similar outfit in 1962 to receive her David di Donatello Award for her performance as Catherine in "Suddenly, Last Summer" .
Dree Hill wearing outfit Rebel Desire is a piece of cake to identify if you are a Grease fan like me. It is the outfit Rizzo is wearing during the Summer Nights number. Mattel has done it as an exact copy for their Grease dolls but the pink jacket turned to purple here. The doll though is a dark Marilyn, gorgeous.
Here come the men, always really popular with collectors. First up is Tobias Alsford wearing the outfit Stars In Your Eyes, Tobias could be Sidney Poitier and the outfit's name is actually the title of a 1956 British musical.
Declan Wake is playing Frank Sinatra from 1947, sporting the outfit named Debonair.
Here is Frank wearing this outfit:
Next one is easy too: Elvis Presley. Miles Morgan is shown wearing the Blue Suede Shoes (what else?) outfit.
Sterling Riese in the Natural Talent outfit could be any star of the 20s or 30s Hollywood: Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Errol Flynn, you pick one.
Keiron Morel in his Tropical Sunset outfit looks like Troy Donahue with Frankie Avalon hair.
Donahue in Parrish wearing a similar jacket - in publicity shots of the era he's in a white shirt and beige pants.
Marlon Brando is represented by Callum Windsor wearing the appropriately named outfit Wild One.
Pity he does not have the hat. Here's the original.

If you are suffering from lack of sleep, you can now take cannabis oil for all your sleep issues. No sleep translates into ill-health. Sleep is an essential part of any healthy life and without it, we attract dis-ease. Did you know that there are two types of sleep? Non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) consists of three stages while rapid eye movement (REM) is one stage of sleep. If you get enough sleep, the full cycle of sleep should recur up to 6 times a night!If you are experiencing sleep issues, you can take cannabis oil to get these cycles in every night.
Address Sleep Issues for Your Health
Sleeping is critical to real health as it allows the body to recharge immunity, restore tissues, manage appetite and blood sugar, process learning, store memories and control metabolism and blood pressure. It is a process that helps to manage emotional and physiological issues in the body, restoring health to all organs, tissues and cells overnight. These processes are all regulated by the endocannabinoid system which means that cannabis cannabinoids will positively affect sleep and body restoration.
Take cannabis oil for all your sleep issues as it is safe and calming and a natural therapy for all conditions of mind and body. Sleep is a necessity as it cleans out the brain of toxins while the body rests. Cannabinoids in the cannabis work with the endocannabinoid system to maintain a constant state of homeostasis or optimum health. Cannabinoids cling to CB1 receptors in the brain and central nervous system, and CB2 receptors in the immune system.
It is good to know that cannabis oil can address these sleep issues: battling to fall asleep, sleep apnea, pain and too much REM sleep instead of deep sleep. According to Canabo Medical Clinic, cannabis oil can reduce phases of REM sleep, so inducing a better quality sleep.
CBD Can Help You Sleep at Night
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a potent cannabinoid that you can take for your sleep issues and it has no side effects. A good dose before you go to bed will enrich your sleep processes and ensure a dream-free, deep sleep. Do not confuse CBD with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which can keep you awake at night if you have too much. This psychoactive cannabinoid is best taken in combination with CBD and can then be used to induce sleep. The non-psychoactive CBD balances out the high created by the THC.
CBD has successfully been given to people with Parkinson's Disease and those who have vivid and disturbing dreams and it calms down the sleep process. Taking small doses of CBD during the day keeps people alert but taking a larger dose at night is a great sleep promoter. THC is the opposite! CBD can treat all the side effects from lack of sleep: less energy, less thinking ability, pain and inflammation, lack of appetite or cravings for food, decreased metabolism, slower reactions and depression. It can also treat the causes of lack of sleep: stress and anxiety, poor diet, pain and inflammation, and other conditions.
Take Cannabis Oil for all Your Sleep Issues
- Restless leg syndrome – the need to move constantly to relieve discomfort and tingling in the legs
- Insomnia – the inability to fall asleep and stay asleep
- Parasomnias – sleep walking, nightmares and other movements and unusual nightly activities while sleeping
- Sleep apnea – obstruction in breathing while sleeping
- Circadian rhythm disorders – a disarranged internal clock and disturbed sleep processes
- Too much sleepiness during the day – narcolepsy or other conditions where the need for sleep is overpowering
Poor sleep translates into disease. Take cannabis oil for your sleep issues today. Contact us for advice and take a look at our cannabis products.

KEDS Principal Dr Calvin Smith recently had two new chapters published in two volumes exploring Latin American Pentecostalism.
The first, in a volume edited by Néstor Medina and Sammy Alfaro, explores Pentecostalism and politics in revolutionay Nicararagua and is entitled, "Revivalism as Revolutionary, Reactionary, or Remote: Pentecostal Political Heterogeneity in Sandinista Nicaragua".
The second chapter, which explores a growing wave of Pentecostalism in Cuba and its relations with the revolutionary government of Fidel Castro, was published recently in a volume edited by Amos Yong, Vinson Synan and Miguel Alvarez. The title of the chapter is "Cuba's New Revolution: From Religious Apathy to Pentecostal Revival".
Dr Smith also has a forthcoming chapter in another volume exploring the history, nature and politics of European Pentecostalism. His chapter focuses on Pentecostalism in Spain, with a particular emphasis upon Evangelicals under the Franco regime (he was raised in Spain as the son of missionaries during the latter stages of the regime). That volume will be published later this year. Meanwhile, Dr Smith is currently researching for a book on Spanish Pentecostalism.

Posted Monday, Jan. 30, 5:50 p.m. For the first time since Jan. 3, 1956, the GW men's basketball team has broken into the top 10 of Division I college basketball. The Colonials are No. 10 in The Associated Press writers poll and the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll after opening up the season 16-1 and 6-0 in the Atlantic 10.
The Colonials have been ranked in both polls all season, and with placement in this week's poll, the program equals its longest streak in The AP poll, with 13 straight weeks. The ranking is the highest the men's team has been since the week of Feb. 15, 1955 where the squad was No. 7.
Coach Karl Hobbs, is his fifth year with the squad, said he was happy but also cautious, as difficult portions of the season lie ahead.
"Obviously I'm excited about it but at the same time I'm very realistic," Hobbs said after practice Monday. "For me, it doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of the whole season."
Hobbs, who throughout the season has downplayed media speculation about his team's performance, said he is trying to make the Colonials focus on playing cautious basketball and treating every possession as if it were the last of the season.
Senior Mike Hall, a member of Hobbs' first recruiting class at GW, has been an integral part of the Colonials' rise to national prominence. Echoing Hobbs, Hall said it is important to remain forward looking.
"(The first recruiting class) came in when we were in the bottom of the A-10 and its kind of good to see that our hard work has paid off a little," Hall said. "But we know that doesn't mean anything. It doesn't guarantee us a spot in the tournament. We are just going to continue to work. It's motivation for us."
GW Director of Athletics Jack Kvancz, a former member of the NCAA tournament selection committee, said that the ranking makes for good exposure but does little for the team in a practical sense.
"No one is going to roll over and say, 'you're in the top 10,'" Kvancz said. "It's a great tribute to the guys on this team and Coach Hobbs and his staff to get the national recognition I know they deserve. I think it's a recruiting tool."
Thursday's matchup with A-10 foe Xavier will be one of the season's most important contests. The Colonials have never beaten the Musketeers in the Cintas Center and have lost nine of the last 10 games against the Ohio school.
The contest will be broadcast live on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. ESPN college basketball personality Dick Vitale, along with Brad Nessler, will be calling the game.
The GW Spirit Department is hosting "A GW road game at the Smith Center." The festivities will try to mimic the atmosphere of a home game, with the contest shown on the scoreboard monitors. Doors will open at 6 p.m.

Cafè. Kahveh. Coffee.
Some people think that coffee is one of the world's most important beverages. I am not one of those people. However, after coming to Italy I have begun to have a better appreciation for coffee - or as they would say café. Before I dive into my personal thoughts on this beloved beverage, here are a few facts you might want to know:
- Coffee is the second most valuable traded commodity in the world.
- Espresso is regulated in production and consumption by the Italian government. Yes, it is that important over here.
- Coffee is a diuretic & psychoactive (in high doses it can make you see things).
Getting back on track, let me give you a brief history on my experience with coffee. I grew up with a British father who is very passionate about his coffee. I always loved the smell of coffee brewing in the morning, when I can back from school...and yes at night too. But when I was young he would never let me have any, saying " You should not have too much coffee when you are young. Coffee is a diuretic." (Note he is also a doctor). As with anything that you want and cannot have, I built up excessive expectations for what coffee would taste like and did not realize how strong (and often in The States how bitter) it is. Long story short, I hated coffee in all forms. Straight, ice cream, yogurt, coffee flavoured candies, and anything else you could imagine.
However, my old roommate from Colombia - which is the world's 3rd larges producer of coffee beans - told me not give up on the drink. Every morning in she would brew Colombian coffee and I loved waking up to the rich smell. While I never had any of her morning brews before she left for Rome, I made a vow to try the Italian coffee I had heard so much about. And upon arrival in Milano I realized that I actually had little choice in the matter.
Here coffee is like water to the average Italian as it is consumed at all hours of the day. On an average day you will find your ordinary Italian having a cappuccino with breakfast, sipping a caffè macchiato in the afternoon, and ordering a caffè (which is a shot of espresso) after dinner. But how could someone stomach so much of this bitter beverage? I too used to think this, but in 100% confidence I can say that I prefer Italian coffee to any that I have found in your run of the mill State side retailer. While I believe that this is partially because Italians don't mess with their caffeine intake, I have also noticed that the way coffee beans are processed & drinks are made around Europe to be quite different overall. Not only does European coffee taste better to me, but it also looks beautiful!
From authentic French press & Irish coffee to Italian marocchino & Austrian mélange, the variety in coffee types, drink styles, & flavours has changed my mind about this art form. Now I'm not saying I have become a connoisseur or fan of coffee overnight, but I am beginning to see myself branch out from my strictly tea oriented palate. So cheers to all you coffee lovers! You might just be onto something...

Best Shots Reviews: DC NATION #0, CAPTAIN AMERICA #701
DC Nation #0
Written by Tom King, Brian Michael Bendis, Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV and Joshua Williamson
Art by Clay Mann, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Jorge Jimenez, Dexter Vines, Jordie Bellaire, Alex Sinclair and Alejandro Sanchez
Lettering by Clayton Cowles, Josh Reed and Andworld Design
Published by DC Comics
Review by David Pepose
'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10
Launching three of its highest-profile new storylines, DC Nation #0 is a striking showcase for the future of the DC Universe, delivering three original stories from top-tier creative teams for just the price of a quarter (or free on comiXology). While not all of these stories necessarily measure up to one another, there's plenty to get excited about with this oversized special, giving DC the best possible springboard for its 2018 flagships.
Let's address the grinning elephant in the room first - Tom King is indisputably one of the heaviest hitters in the DC bullpen right now, slinging haunting and literary stories seemingly effortlessly. So having his Joker-centric Batman wedding story lead the book almost feels like overkill, even when the Dark Knight doesn't actually appear in the story. Instead, King and artist Clay Mann spin up an unnerving example of the Clown Prince of Crime's undeniable malevolence, as he breaks into a random Gothamite's house and forces him at gunpoint to wait for a wedding invitation from Batman himself.
What's interesting is that even compared to his take on the character during "The War of Jokes and Riddles," King's take on the Joker feels different, almost as an acquired taste - rather than Paul Dini's rapid-fire one-liners, King's Joker is in full dad-joke mode, so crazed he doesn't realize he's more groan-worthy than funny. But with just eight pages, King really ratchets up the tension and absurdity of the situation, as we feel for the Joker's hostage as they wait for the mail to arrive. Meanwhile, Mann knocks the artwork out of the park - imagine Jim Lee's Joker mixed with the rendering of Olivier Coipel, and you've got a decent approximation of what to expect stylistically, but Mann's sense of storytelling and expressiveness is in a league of its own, with a silent panel of the Joker mugging for a reaction being particularly unsettling. Colorist Jordie Bellaire deserves a lot of praise for elevating Mann's linework, adding such a subtle sense of texture in particular to a splash page of the Joker peering through the mail slot.
Yet fans of Marvel Studios' new film Avengers: Infinity War will likely find a lot to like with Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson, and Jorge Jimenez's prelude to Justice League: No Justice, which has similar elements of sprawling and eclectic team lineups broken up into separate squads. While the premise itself might feel a little shaky if you think too hard about "energies" like Entropy, Mystery, Wisdom and Wonder, the execution is what matters most, as Snyder, Tynion, and Williamson give us a solid enough basis for splitting the Justice League into teams based on powers, origins and personalities led by Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg. Despite cool moments like Superman throwing Starro like a shuriken over in Team Mystery, it feels like Batman's Team Entropy is already the frontrunner for the coolest squad in the book, as we see a lot of sparks already coming off of team-ups like Lex Luthor, Deathstroke, and Lobo.
That said, it feels like 10 pages isn't quite enough for a story this sprawling - while Batman and Superman's teams get to stretch their legs thanks to some gorgeous-looking double-page spreads from Jorge Jimenez, Cyborg's team in particular feels like they get the shaft, getting crammed into a single page that never really gets enough space for Jimenez to give them an effective introduction. (Even Wonder Woman's team barely makes the spacing work, which is a little bit of a shame, because the idea of Earth's magic users battling alien ghosts is rad as hell.) Still, Jimenez gives this story a ton of dynamism, and colorist Alejandro Sanchez adds a ton of energy to the proceedings, giving each scene its own specific color palette and mood.
Which ultimately brings us to the middle chapter of the series, the biggest question mark at DC Comics right now: Brian Michael Bendis's run with Superman. Given how solid Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason's "Rebirth" run on the title was, you'd be forgiven feeling a hint of skepticism to Bendis's looser, quippier style - especially because Bendis's second story with the character feels both like an homage to a long-passed era as well as such a departure from what we've seen lately. Gone is the homespun wisdom dispensed by father to son on a Hamilton farm - returning to The Daily Planet, this feels like a stripped-down version of the Man of Steel's current exploits… which ultimately might be a step backwards, given Tomasi and Gleason's mature take on Clark and Lois as a superheroic family unit.
Given Bendis's love of dialogue, it's not surprising seeing him emulate the awkward soft-spokenness of Christopher Reeve's Superman in this story, as Clark Kent stammers his way through The Daily Planet's offices - yet one could also argue that Bendis captures the surface qualities of Reeve's Man of Steel, but doesn't seem to capture that aspirational spirit that makes the character so iconic. Additionally, Bendis might be a little too much of a tease for his own good with this story, which alludes to some soap-operatic changes going on in Superman's world, but doesn't do enough to establish where this series might be headed, other than stylistically. To that end, bringing in Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez on art feels like a nice nod to classic Superman stories - it's a little weird watching colorist Alex Sinclair try to bring this master artist into today's aesthetics, however, and one almost wishes they had gone for a simpler color palette.
Yet even some trepidation over a radical reinvention of the Man of Steel isn't enough to tarnish DC Nation #0's luster, as all three stories bring strong execution and points of view to some of the biggest titles in the DC Universe. With hundreds of comics coming out every month, the law of averages says that there's going to be product that's just that - product - and it's so easy for anthologies or short story collections to feel forgettable or irrelevant. But DC really puts its best foot forward with this trifecta of stories in DC Nation, and opens up the ground floor to new readers with an incredible 25-cent price point. With a price tag that low, anyone interested in the DC Universe should really give DC Nation a look.
Captain America #701
Written by Mark Waid
Art by Leonardo Romero, Adam Hughes, JG Jones, Matthew Wilson and Paul Mounts
Lettering by Joe Caramagna
Published by Marvel Comics
Review by Pierce Lydon
'Rama Rating: 6 out of 10
While we wait for Ta-Nehisi Coates' Captain America relaunch, the last days of Mark Waid's run seem to really only serve as a showcase for artist Leonardo Romero. In fact, the issue doesn't even feature much of Steve Rogers at all - eschewing the Star-Spangled Avengers for a more macro story about what his legacy means in the future. Given how much potential these alternate future stories can hold, the result feels fairly punchless, but Romero saves the day with some stellar cartooning that overcomes a script that feels like it's just marking time.
Given how iconic his work on the character has been in the past, you can't help but wonder if Waid has run out of things to say with Captain America. His tenure on the title has been elevated by great art, but the hero himself is a cipher in his own title. Waid wants to talk about what Captain America means but it's increasingly clear that he doesn't really know. His run has vacillated between neoliberal nothinginess and nostalgia for an American Dream that doesn't really jive with modern living. But that lack of vision has marked the book since the beginning - there's a safety in not pushing the book forward and not forcing Steve to confront reality. If Waid's goal was to see the "real" Steve Rogers return to prominence after the events of Secret Empire, he's really only achieved that by mostly ignoring the implications of that event and Nick Spencer's run on Cap as a whole.
Instead, Waid is content with examining the idea of Captain America from a distance or through a lens that doesn't require him to really explore his own feelings about the character or the feelings of readers. The result is storytelling that you can feel tiptoeing around the dangerous bits. Waid continually tells us how Cap would feel about the things depicted on the page, but he never puts the character or really any character in any uncomfortable position. And in the end, that's disappointing, because it doesn't dig into what's great about Captain America at all. At this point, it just feels like Waid's story is jogging in place until new blood can arrive, regurgitating the Cliff's Notes version of Cap back to readers who probably already know them.
However, Leonardo Romero is a revelation, proving to readers exactly why his work on Hawkeye earned the title an Eisner nomination last week. Adam Hughes and JG Jones also handle a few pages here and even though their pages feature the shield-wielder himself, I find myself more compelled by what Romero is putting on the page. His line economy and storytelling instincts buoy a bad script by adding a level of propulsion to a narrative about a bunch of characters that we don't really know and don't have much stake in. That energy is the real thrust of the story, pushing the action forward rather than dragging readers through the plot. It may feel somewhat reductive to say this, but Romero's work is very reminiscent of Chris Samnee's, and it's easy to see why Marvel would tap him for this gig. You can easily see the Alex Toth influence in both of their work, and it's a great fit for the general eyes-wide-open optimism of superhero comics.
At the end of the day, Captain America #701 is a reminder that it's really easy to write a lifeless superhero story. Not every book needs to make a statement, but it shouldn't be so averse to the idea that it's just treading water. But given the book's relative limbo status as it waits for a new creative team, it's understandable why such a thin story would get the greenlight. Romero deserves a lot of credit for putting this issue on his back. Hopefully someone notices, and he's rewarded for his efforts with a long tenure on an A-list title soon. If you're looking for a clinic in visual storytelling, this is your book. But if you're looking for a good Captain America story, sadly, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Cristiano Ronaldo insists Portugal still believe in their Euro 2016 chances despite the forward missing a penalty in a 0-0 draw with Austria on Saturday, saying: "This is football."
Ronaldo struck the post from the spot after being fouled by Martin Hinteregger, while the Real Madrid star also had a headed goal ruled out for offside amid a host of missed chances.
Portugal's Group F campaign has had a stuttering start, with draws in their opening matches against Iceland and Austria, but Ronaldo is remaining positive.
"This is football," said Ronaldo, who broke Luis Figo's all-time Portugal appearances record against Austria. "It was something we did not want.
"We created plenty of opportunities, but could not finish. I also failed with a penalty and other chances.
"We must continue to believe and thank once again the Portuguese who were here.
"We will try to give our best in the next game. We have to think it's still possible. If we win, we will qualify. Portugal has to believe."
Ronaldo's side take on Hungary in Lyon on Wednesday.

September Rocksbox
A new Rocksbox just came in the mail, and I'm in love with it! The great thing about Rocksbox is that in addition to making a wishlist of items, you can also leave feedback on your past boxes telling them why you did or didn't like a piece, which helps them pick better items for your future boxes! Remember: you can get your first Rocksbox FREE with the code "AudraKochXOXO"!
Kendra Scott Elisa Necklace in Platinum Drusy
One of Kendra's most classic and delicate necklaces, I love the gold chain layered with a sparkly drusy platinum stone. These necklaces look great layered with one or two others with the same metal-tone chain.
Kendra Scott Kimmel Earrings in Gold
I love these delicate threader earrings because they're so different than most Kendra pieces, and a bit more on-trend than most of her classic and easily recognizable designs. They make a statement without being too in-your-face, and are awesome for throwing on when you need a simple piece to make it look like you put some thought into your outfit.
Sophie Harper Pave Spiral Ring in Gold
I've been obsessed with gold rings lately, a few months ago, I had one from Gorjana, and after that, another from Moon and Lola in Rocksboxes, but I think this one from Sophie Harper is my favorite one yet! It has a gorgeous spiral design with a few pave stones that add a little sparkly, but not too many to make it gaudy.

text: My daughter bought me eye cream for Christmas and it was just this tiny little thing. Well, I decide that I'm going to treat myself and go buy a new one. I get to the cosmetic counter and say "I'd like to buy some "Perfectionist"" "sure" she says "which size?" and takes out all of the sizes they offer. Well, I may have grown up poor but my mother loved Watt & Shand's Department Store - so I'm forewarned. "How about the smallest one?" - when I say small... I mean really small. "how many ounces is that?" "That is our one ounce size" she says in her most proper diction. "That will be $85.00." "Hmm.... I think I'm going to think about that one" - she's thinking "yeah, lady, I bet you are" but truthfully, I am thinking about that.... I'm thinking what in God's creation can be in that tiny bottle that would justify Estee Lauder to charge $85.00 for an ounce of cream! I mean, I could be a spokesperson for Perfectionist - I really could. I lost quite a bit of weight while crying over the reception hall and in the process have lost the fat pads under my eyes.... age gets you one way or the other... fat and happy or slim and ugly. What's the deal? Anyway, Perfectionist is a tiny little magic wand in a bottle. When you put that stuff on and then put concealer on to hide the raccoon eyes that you have now that you don't have fat pads, the little wand just fills in those ugly little creases that the concealer makes. *sigh* creases or raccoon eyes.... I'm going to have to deal with the raccoon eyes for a little while. I can't justify buying an ounce of glory for $85 when taxes are just around the corner. They must put a little drop of water from the fountain of youth into that bottle.BTW.... I should call the Bon-Ton! They have a $30 mark-up on Perfectionist!! When I went to create my link I see that I can buy it on line for $55.00.... I may be able to justify the glory cream for $55.00! In Tony's eyes $85.00 may as well be $100.00 but $55.00 is truly just $50.00... right?!

This afternoon we had our IB Art Vernissage, one of my favorite IB traditions. Initially it feels like something so different from what I do every day with the same students and possibly that's why it appeals to me so. It also takes place directly outside of my classroom in the student lounge and I enjoy the anticipation created by observing the students and our IB art teacher prepare for the event.
At our school the IB art program has a reputation of being difficult and being a potential source to bring down one's GPA. However, my daughter, along with several other students, decided to embark on the two-year journey of IB art as part of the diploma curriculum. The students are expected to select a theme early on in their pilgrimage towards becoming artists. Their artwork, then, over the two years is to relate to their theme.
I look at the displayed work and I am impressed. None of these IB art students plans a career in art and would have never experienced painting on a canvas, being inspired by multiple artists (and being able to discuss it), creating a clay sculpture, and working in a host of other mediums without this class. All of them are articulate about how each piece of art relates to their chosen theme. I am touched by how each student is clearly personally invested in his/her work. It is enlightening to speak with the individuals and I so enjoy seeing them in the context of an art exhibition. Of course, they are engaged in an entirely different way as compared to when they are explaining the role of the light dependent reactions in photosynthesis. Their effort and hours of toiling away in the art room have paid off! One teacher exclaims, "Now I know what they do tucked away in the art room! I've always wondered what goes on for hours and hours in there." Appropriate "oohs" and "aahs" and nods of approval exude from the group of spectators circulating through the show. I sense pride and accomplishment from our students.
There is plenty of literature to support the value of art in education. An article I recently read refers to skills attained from participating in the arts. These skills include the following (1):
- Creativity
- Confidence
- Problem Solving
- Perseverance
- Focus
- Non-Verbal Communication
- Ability to receive constructive feedback
- Collaboration
- Dedication
- Accountability
Through taking this IB course, our students have gained an actual skill set that will be valuable to them throughout all aspects of life. While the students presented, it was clear that these skills have, indeed, been transmitted to the students through their artistic odyssey.
If you know someone deliberating on whether to take an art, music, dance or drama class, encourage them to do so! Future IB students don't steer away from the Group VI (The Arts) subjects!
In my own life, balance and those very skills listed above became part of who I am through my participation in the orchestra program in my high school and later by playing with a symphony while in college and graduate school. Additionally, my world was enlarged through the exposure to music, composers, and different artists. The weekly rehearsals provided an appropriate diversion from my classes and research, allowing me to return fresh and prepared to progress even further having stepped away for a bit. Plus, it was just plain fun to be part of the creation of beautiful music! How about you? What are the benefits that you have experienced from participating in The Arts? Share below!

Hundreds of holidaymakers 'out of pocket' as tour operator closes
FF TD says tourists are 'stranded' in Ireland after Exploring Vacations ceases trading
A view of Gurteen beach in Co Galway. File photograph: Bryan O'Brien/The Irish Times
Hundreds of holidaymakers have potentially been left out of pocket after a Mullingar tour operator ceased trading.
RTS Travel Ltd, trading as Exploring Vacations, has ceased to trade as of Thursday.
A notice posted on the company's website states: "The board of the company intends to convene a meeting of creditors, to be held on October 3rd, 2018, at which a liquidator will be appointed to the company. Notice of the creditors meeting will be sent to all creditors in due course.
"We deeply regret the inconvenience that may be caused to our customers by the company ceasing to trade. If you have any questions please email email@example.com and we will endeavour to assist you."
The rest of the information about the company has been removed from the site.
Exploring Vacations takes upfront payments for arranging trips abroad, mainly for US tourists travelling to Ireland.
A spokesman for the Department of transport, tourism and sport said "officials in the department are looking into the circumstances" of the closure.
"The Department's primary concern is the position the affected tourists find themselves in. Fáilte Ireland have indicated if visitors need help or information to secure alternative accommodation or services, our tourist information network is more than happy to assist," said the spokesman.
Cancelled reservation
US tourist Daniel Totten from Detroit told RTÉ's Liveline he was heading to Galway when his hotel informed him his reservation been cancelled as Exploring Vacations had ceased trading.
"The hotel had no way of contacting the company so we went back to Dublin and got another hotel but we're spending more money than we planned on spending as a result of this," he said.
Mr Totten paid Exploring Vacations about $2,000 (about €1,719) for hotels and B&Bs for his Irish trip.
"We kept getting changes to our reservations and changes to location right up to the date we were arriving, so we wonder now if it is because the hotels realised they probably weren't getting paid," he said.
Fianna Fáil TD and party spokesman on tourism Robert Troy has called on Minister for Tourism Shane Ross to put a response plan in place to help tourists who have been left stranded following the collapse of the company.
"Hundreds of tourists have been left out of pocket as a result of the collapse of this tour operator. Tourists arriving in Ireland have been left stranded as their accommodation has not been paid for and their transport arrangements haven't been put in place.
"This is having a significant impact on tour providers [and] bus and car hire companies, to name but a few who have all been left out of pocket. There needs to be an investigation to find out how this happened and where the money paid over to the company has gone,"said Mr Troy.
The Department of Transport and Tourism has been reached for comment.

Amid incidents of communal conflicts in parts of the country, people in a tiny hamlet in Dhanbad district are sowing seeds of love and peace.
Amid incidents of communal conflicts in parts of the country, people in a tiny hamlet in Dhanbad district are sowing seeds of love and peace. Around 40 Muslim families in Vikhrajpur village of Baliapur block, 20 km from district headquarters, have been growing flowers and weaving garlands for Hindu temples in and around the district for the past four decades. The families depend on flower cultivation for their livelihood, said a farmer Sheikh Samsuddin.
"We supply flowers and garlands to a trader in Jharia township, who then sells the wreaths to agents of different temples as per requirement," he said, adding that the garlands were sold at Rs 5 per piece. On occasions such as Ram Navami and Durga puja, the farmers often shoulder the responsibility of decorating the temples free of cost. Dayashankar Dubey, a priest at a local Kali temple in Jharia, said the farmers in Vikhrajpur had never failed to deliver wreaths during festivities.
"The temple committee tries to compensate their contribution in different ways," he added. Communal tension has never deterred them from supplying flowers to the temples. "This is the question of our livelihood… No communal strife in the last 40 years has stopped us from growing or selling flowers," said Md Safi, another cultivator. There have been occasions though when the farmers were pressurised to change their profession.
"Pressure comes from different quarters to switch profession and sell profitable items like vegetables or cash crops, but the villagers here are sentimentally attached to flower trade," said Anwar Ali, a villager. Ali, however, admits that the money earned from the trade is not enough to provide for his family. "We have to look for a side business to support our families because flowers don't bloom round the year," he said.
Saukat Ali, who has been engaged in the flower trade for more than two decades, is of the view that the farmers can cater to the needs of temples across the state if provided with proper irrigation facilities. "The government officials have visited us five times in the last 10 years and promised to look into our demands. No help, however, arrived so far," he rued.
Echoing similar sentiments, social activist Anwar Ali Khan said the farmers had approached former BDO Kundan Bhagat and former deputy commissioner Ajay Kumar Singh several times in the past but to no avail. Baliapur Block Development Officer (BDO) Dhiraj Prakash, who assumed office a week ago, said no one had approached him for help so far. "I have recently learned about them (flower farmers) and would try to help them under the MNREGA scheme," he added.

Reindeer on the Svalbard islands are a sub-species of the reindeer that live in Greenland and Norway and elsewhere in the Arctic. They are fatter with shorter legs; thus they are adapted to the extreme climate. Svalbard is an arctic desert -- not much snow at all, very dry, few nutrients in the thin layer of soil, much permafrost, quite sparse vegetation. The reindeer live on the few varieties of moss and lichens growing on the permafrost.
We saw at least a few reindeer on almost every hike that we took from the boat, and also some quite near to the town of Longyearbyen. There's a hunting season for people who live there, which is carefully monitored to cull the herds. The hunters who receive a permit and take a reindeer eat the meat and use the hides for warmth. The reindeer meat that we sampled on the boat was from mainland reindeer, which are more numerous.
|The reindeer at rest in the first photo above is a tiny spot on the
right hillside in this photo.
Female reindeer have a shovel-like tine on their antlers which they use to scrape away snow and get to lichens in the winter. They thus keep their antlers; the males use the antlers in fights over females and then lose them.
|Our guide shows us an antler shed by a reindeer last fall.
|Reindeer grazing near the kittiwake nests.

|Reindeer in the snow, seen on a different hike. Because their fur is hollow and fluffy, it's especially good at thermal insulation.
|Baby reindeer belonging to the pair above.
|Reindeer fur that the guide showed us.
We expected to hear that polar bears to prey on reindeer, but we learned that the reindeer are too fast for them. Though a polar bear can sprint, their heavy fur (also hollow and very effective at insulation) means that they become overheated if they try to do a long run, as they would need to do to take down reindeer.

Everyone knows that when you buy a car, it starts losing its value immediately. This is called depreciation. However, not all cars depreciate at the same rate. Every year, Edmunds evaluates new car models and estimates which vehicles will hold onto their value longer than others and awards those models Best Retained Value Awards.
This year, three Honda vehicles came away with the top prize in their respective segments: the 2018 Honda Accord, the Civic, and the CR-V. This means buyers who choose these models can feel confident that they will get more money back into their pockets when the time comes to trade it in or sell it.
"Buying a new car is a huge financial decision, and our 2018 Edmunds Best Retained Value Awards are designed to help shoppers discover the brands and vehicles that can help them get the most out of their investment," said Avi Steinlauf, Edmunds' CEO. "This year's winners underscore a commitment to quality and reliability and are good bets to hold their value over the course of ownership."
In the Best Retained Value Awards, Edmunds' analysts study years of market data to determine which model are expected to have the highest projected residual value after five years. So, if you are looking for a new car that will give you a lot of value, a Honda is always a great choice.

Philips Hue Unboxing & Setup Part 2
In this second part to my unboxing and setup of the Philips Hue lighting kit we acquired, I want to cover off how things have gone so far setting up the lights in our living room. I also want to show you the Philips Hue Tap Wireless light switch. That will include an overview of setting it up.
In my post Philips Hue Unboxing & Setup Part 1, I explored the Philips Hue Bridge, and bulbs I'd ordered for our living room. I've gone through the process of installing that, and everything seems to be working well. One bulb (the E27) is in a floor standing lamp in the corner of the room. The E14 candle bulb is installed into a table lamp, and the Bayonet cap B22 bulb is installed into the ceiling light fitting.
With everything setup and installed, I can now use the Philips Hue app to control the lights. I can turn them on and off, set brightness, control colour and colour temperature. I can also activate scenes, and create my own. All this 'control' can be exercised over all the lights in the room, or at an individual level with ease.
However, whilst the app may be simple, a real light switch is simpler. With an app, you still need to find and unlock your smartphone, find the app, get to the right place in the app, and then use it to turn the lights on. A light switch is still simpler, especially for activating lighting scenes you use most frequently. That's where the Philips Hue Tap switch comes in.
This puck-shaped device sticks on the wall using command-strips (which means it would also be very easy to remove should you need to). The entire front face of the device is a button in it's own right. Inset into the face are three smaller buttons.
The switch is wireless, and even more cleverly, requires no batteries or hardwire power. It uses the kinetic energy generated from a push of the button to transmit the signal to the Bridge! That's pretty smart, and means it's a zero-maintenance solution, with no additional running costs.
Setting it up is pretty easy, just remove the backing paper on the command strips and affix it to the wall. I did this just inside the door to my living room. It's actually pretty handy for us, since the 'real' light switch is on the wrong side of the door in our living room! Once affixed, the Tap switch can actually be twisted off its backing plate, allowing you to take it with you into a room, using it as a remote control.
Setup was straightforward. Inside the settings screen of the Hue app, you can tap the 'accessories' section, and then add a new accessory. You simply choose that you are adding a Tap switch, and the discovery process begins. This involves pressing and holding the main button on the Tap switch for 10 seconds. After that, it's recognised. You can then rename the switch to something more descriptive, and assign it to up to three rooms.
The switch buttons have some scenes allocated by default. The main button 1 is 'Off', 2 is Bright, 3 is dimmed, and 4 is nightlight. Changing the scenes is easy. You are shown a pictorial representation of the Tap switch in the app, and can simply tap on a button, and then select a new scene, including custom scenes you may have configured.
The switch works quite nicely, giving a satisfying 'click' when pushed. By default, if you want an easy way to turn lights off, you'll need to have a button assigned for that. However, I note that there is a way to enable a 'toggle' function. I'll be exploring that in more detail later.
For now, that's my complete setup done. You can see this in more detail in the video . I plan to do a 'first impressions post, perhaps with accompanying video soon. I'll use this to share my initial thoughts on how it's all working, and outline in a bit more detail how setup went (but to be honest, it was pretty easy, full marks here).

Heads High As Nyakeya Bays For Leopards Blood
Despite going for seven matches without a win, Cliff Nyakeya believes the lads can turn the tables with a decent defensive performance against AFC Leopards when they clash at the Kenyatta Stadium. on Sunday.
The Slum boys have endured a seven match winless streak that was amplified by the 0-2 loss to relegation threatened Sony Sugar last Sunday at the Camp Toyoyo Grounds.
Cliff Nyakeya celebrates his second goal in the 3-4 loss to AFC Leopards at the Kenyatta Stadium on Saturday, March 10, 2018.
Nyakeya, who netted a brace against Ingwe in the 3-4 loss in the first leg, is confident that they can overturn that result in Machakos.
"We have been conceding very early and that has been our major undoing. If we can keep it tight for the opening half hour then we stand a big chance of bagging maximum points because we will certainly score," began Nyakeya.
"This calls for a collective effort from the team. Everyone is aware that he has a role to play when we lose the ball. We have to concentrate and communicate effectively on the pitch," he underlined.
Cliff Nyakeya is joined in celebration by Francis Omondi in the first leg encounter against AFC Leopards played at the Kenyatta Stadium on Saturday, March 10, 2018.
The speedy winger seems tp have finally found his breakthrough in his third season at the club having scored nine goals in 24 appearances. With one eye on the Golden Boot, he fancies scoring against AFC Leopards again.
Golden Boot
"It has been a good season but I have not yet met my targets. It was nice scoring against them in the first leg so why not? The Golden Boot is still within reach so I have to keep scoring in the remaining matches," he asserted.
Elvis Rupia, who joined Zambian side Power Dynamos in June, is the leading scorer in the league with 15 goals. Clup top scorer Clifford Alwanga is third with 10 goals while Nyakeya is fourth.

Dear Foreign Minister:
We write to you on the occasion of the visit by Sudanese presidential assistant, Nafi Ali Nafi, to Tokyo. We understand that Japan wishes to support a swift resolution to the crisis in Darfur, and we welcome in particular the support you have given to ensuring consultation among Darfurians. However we wish to highlight that the political process will not provide protection for civilians who are today under attack in Darfur, nor will it provide justice for the victims of atrocities and abuse perpetrated over the last five years.
The government of Sudan continues to carry out massive direct attacks on its citizens in Darfur. On February 8, 2008 Sudanese armed forces backed by Janjaweed militia carried out attacks on three villages in West Darfur that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians, and the displacement of tens of thousands more. Since then the government has continued to bombard the area, ensuring at least 20,000 civilians on both sides of the border are cut off from life-saving humanitarian assistance, and on one occasion destroying an IDP camp from which the residents had only recently fled.
The government of Sudan has also actively obstructed those who could protect these people. Japan has repeatedly voiced its support for the United Nations/African Unions peacekeeping force (UNAMID), which would, at full strength, be the largest ever peacekeeping operation. Sadly Khartoum has thrown up endless barriers to deployment of the force and today UNAMID is barely one third of its authorized strength. Even now the government of Sudan continues to delay assignment of land and delivery of equipment for the force, as well as refusing non-African units. The government argues that it will accept these only after deployment of all African units, but this misses the critical point that these units are so important precisely because they have capacities not currently available in Africa, and are ready to deploy immediately.
Meanwhile other governments have also weakened the force by failing to provide vital equipment, particularly helicopters and other transport. We do not take any position on the interpretation of the Japanese Constitution regarding the Self Defense Force's involvement in peacekeeping operations, but we would urge Japan to consider whether it is able to provide its transport helicopters to UNAMID in accordance with the Constitution.
The government of Sudan has also perpetuated an environment of impunity for crimes in Darfur. The national courts have failed to prosecute any person for serious crimes in Darfur. In April 2007 the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued warrants for two men for atrocities carried out in West Darfur. However Khartoum has repeatedly reiterated its refusal to cooperate with the court or to hand over the two individuals subject to arrest warrants. One, Ahmed Haroun, remains state minister for humanitarian affairs in Darfur, responsible for the welfare of the very victims of his alleged crimes. The other, Ali Kosheib, was in custody in Sudan on other charges, but was released in October.
As a new state party to the Rome Statute, and with the appointment of Judge Fumiko Saiga to the ICC, Japan has shown its commitment to the Court and to international justice. You now have an opportunity to demonstrate the depth of that commitment by calling on Sudan to cooperate fully with the court and to immediately hand over Haroun and Kosheib.
There can be no trade off between civilian protection, justice and the political process. The ongoing attacks on civilians and the refusal to provide any accountability for grave international crimes can only damage the prospects for peace in Darfur. Japan should use this opportunity to call on the government of Sudan to immediately end the attacks, to end its obstruction of UNAMID, and to fully cooperate with the ICC. In addition Japan should consider whether it is able to reinforce its commitment to an effective peacekeeping force by providing transport helicopters to UNAMID.
Yours sincerely,
Georgette Gagnon
Director, Africa Division

Many classic TV shows are chosen for a reboot, remake, or continuation, and the latest to be added to that list is cult mystery drama Twin Peaks.
The show, which had been on ABC for 2 seasons and 30 episodes between 1990-1991 (and a series prequel/epilogue movie spin-off known as Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, in 1992), will now be making a continuation a quarter-century on, with a 9-episode third season now scheduled to air on Showtime in 2016.
This return is confirmed as being a present-day continuation of the story in real time as opposed to a remake. The premium cable network will have their new big draw written by original series creators David Lynch and Mark Frost, and Lynch also serving as director.
Having teased the comeback late last week on Twitter with tweets referencing the show, Lynch then made a post yesterday linking to a special 'teaser video', stating: "Dear Twitter Friends… it is happening again."
Frost noted that the show will retain a number of classic characters from the show, but not to expect everyone given the time lapse and that there are no confirmations of casting just yet, citing that it is "far too early to talk specifics" on actors this far from production.
The YouTube video release by Showtime noted on the series: "The groundbreaking television phenomenon, Golden Globe and Peabody Award-winner Twin Peaks will return as a new limited series on Showtime in 2016. Series creators and executive producers David Lynch and Mark Frost will write and produce all nine episodes of the limited series."
Twin Peaks originally saw Kyle MacLachlan star as "Dale Cooper", an FBI special agent tasked with a job in the fictional small and mysterious town of Twin Peaks, Washington (USA), the investigation of the murder of the town's homecoming queen "Laura Palmer" (Sheryl Lee).
Considered one of the biggest cult series of all time, fans and critics enjoyed the show for its offbeat humour and surrealist themes, so will what the creators made in the early 90's be able to continue into the mid-10's? The new teaser of the show can be seen below:
Though the gap for a show like Twin Peaks has been considered 'filled' at various stages in its hiatus, with a show on Disney XD often considered by reviewers to be a spiritual successor:
