No other industry has seen more shakeups in the past 12 months than the mining sector.
This is due in large part to former secretary of the Department of Energy and Natural Resources (DENR) Gina Lopez. Under her leadership, the DENR suspended 23 large-scale mining operations and was on the way to suspend 75 mineral production sharing agreements. Such actions have had adverse effects on the Philippine Stock Exchange's (PSE) Mining and Oil Index since Lopez's appointment as DENR secretary in June 2016.
However, on May 3rd this year, the Commission on Appointment rejected Lopez's appointment as DENR chief. On that day, the mining index rebounded and hit its highest value in over 20 months.

Despite a generally shaky year, two mining tycoons managed to return to US business magazine Forbes' most recent list of the Philippines' 50 richest people after being absent from the previous year's list.
Walter Brown, the country's 43rd richest person with a net worth of $160 million, is the chairman emeritus of A Brown Co. Inc. The holding company has interests in real estate, agriculture and power sectors, with a majority of its investments and properties located in Mindanao.
Brown is also the president and CEO of Apex Mining Co. Inc., which runs the Maco Gold Mine in Compostela Valley. Its acquired subsidiaries also run mines in Benguet and Camarines Norte. In August, Apex Mining resigned from the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines, the industry group of large-scale miners in the country. In a statement to the PSE, Brown criticized the chamber for not doing enough to rid its own ranks of irresponsible miners.
"I do not agree that we should blame the illegal small-scale miners when the mining industry is put to task for perceived destruction of the environment," Brown said in a disclosure to the PSE on August 3, 2017. "I would rather that the chamber regulate its own ranks and discipline its members who do not comply with existing mining rules and regulations and those who pay lip service to responsible mining."
Interestingly, A Brown's stock price saw no growth in the past 12 months, and Apex's decreased by 94.5 percent year-on-year. On the other hand, A Brown's net income soared by 953.9 percent year-on-year to Php189.1 million in the first half of 2017, while Apex's net income grew by a more modest 33.3 percent to Php177.8 million in the same period.
Related story: Who's In or Out, Who's Up or Down in Forbes 2017 List of 50 Richest Filipinos?
The second returnee to Forbes' rich list is Philip Ang, who placed 50th with a net worth of $120 million. Ang is the vice chairman of Nickel Asia, which is led by fellow rich lister Manuel Zamora. Share prices of the country's largest nickel producer saw a modest 6.3-percent increase year-on-year, although its net income jumped by 774.8 percent to Php2.2 billion in the first half of 2017 from the same period last year.
The company saw an all-around increase in the value of its nickel ore sold in the first half of the year compared to the first six months of 2016. "The increase (in sales) was mainly due to higher prices for its nickel ore sales combined with higher shipment volumes and a weaker peso exchange rate," Nickel Asia said in a disclosure to the PSE.
The re-entry of Brown and Ang to the rich list reaffirms the profitability of the mining industry in the country, which remains a major source of wealth for many of the tycoons in Forbes' annual listing despite industry woes. Even Henry Sy Sr., the country's richest man for the past 10 years, has interests in mining through his SM Investments' 29-percent stake in Atlas Consolidated Mining and Development Corp.

Netflix has announced the addition of the upcoming iPhone X and Apple's iPad Pro to the streaming service's list of supported devices that can stream HDR-enabled content. These devices are the first from Apple to have this capability, so I'm sure even more will be added in the future. The devices join the Galaxy S8, S8 Plus, Note 8, LG V30, Sony Xperia XZ1 and XZ Premium, LG G6, Chromecast Ultra, and Nvidia Shield and Shield Pro.
To stream HDR content on the V30 or Note 8, you'll have to be subscribed to Netflix's highest-paid plan which costs $11.99/month. Once you're subscribed, just sign into the latest version of the Netflix app for iOS. Currently, only limited shows like Dare Devil, House of Cards, and Marco Polo are streaming in HDR, so your High Dynamic Range library will likely be pretty small for the time being. Hopefully, in the near future, more content will be added to Netflix's growing list.
It's worth noting that while the 10.5-inch iPad Pro is capable of streaming HDR for anyone who buys it, users will need to own the 2017 second-edition 12.9-inch Pro in order to see high dynamic range content. Hopefully, you didn't already put nearly $1,000 down on an iPad Pro just to find out you can't watch the best content Netflix has to offer. I give my regards in advance if you did.

"The financial profiles and credit quality of Japanese airline companies could come under pressure from a possible decline in traffic volume and increase in fuel costs," said S&P in a statement.

A federal magistrate judge obstructed the United States Justice Department from showing a German law firm 25 million pages of records revealed by Volkswagen in the government's diesel emissions investigation.
The order, issued on Friday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Corley in California, is a victory for the automaker, which deals with 1,600 securities suits in Germany associated with its diesel emissions scandal. The company turned over the files as part of prosecutors' probe of its setting up software to hide excess emissions.
The suits jointly seek almost 8.6 billion euros ($10.3 billion) from the automaker, according to a court filing.
The Justice Department took legal action against Volkswagen in Germany in September 2016 for the losses in federal government employees retirement accounts and retained German law firm GSK Stockmann to represent the U.S. government. It looks to recover 30.8 million euros ($ 37 million), in addition to interest and legal fees.
Legal representatives for Volkswagen challenged the Justice Department's planned transfer of the files and said if it were successful, all 1,600 plaintiffs would have access to them.
The automaker noted some Volkswagen submissions in Germany ended up being public in the German press days after they were submitted. "It is most likely that at least a few of these files would also be leaked to the press," VW lawyer Thomas Liebscher wrote in an affidavit.
Judge Corley stated that a protective order between the automaker and the government disallows the sharing of the files with the Justice Department's German law firm. Corley stated GSK Stockmann can not use the the files obtained by the department "to end-run around German discovery rules."
Volkswagen has accepted to spend about $25 billion in the United States to deal with claims from owners and regulators over polluting diesel vehicles and has offered to redeem about 500,000 vehicles.

China vs. The United States: Death By a Thousand Cuts
advanced weaponry to achieve ascendancy over our country.
China has "invested" roughly ten per cent of its economy over
here; those notes, called in when we are least able to repay,
are a potential form of Trojan Horse, trampling by economic
devious, deft, design. It can destroy our trees (the Emerald
Ash Borer came from cheap Chinese imported wood), put lead
and other toxins into imported baby bibs and pet food, and now
--high tech, fake IDs. According to Chicago CBS TV 2, the fakes
sell for about $100 each, and are almost impossible to detect--
even by Homeland Security. (Recalling Tweedle Dee and
Tweedle Dumb Ridge and Chertoff, highly-placed "national
security experts", I feel zero surprise at the latest news.)
It's time for clarity on U.S. security matters. Besides
insane, murderous Middle East primitive religious radicals,
China and Russia have never gotten over the "end" of
the Cold War. Russia's areas of attack involve cyber
situations, Mafia-like tactics and kidnapping gullible
girls for the sex trade. Lately spoiling for a fight, Russia
has tested us through proxies NATO, the Ukraine and
its Russian Separatists. China, however, harries my mind
more than Russia, whose moves via Putin patently
reveal themselves...
China has the expertise of subtlety and patience,
producing one small problem at a time, aided by
Clinton's NAFTA, which was poorly thought through.
Let's beware, be aware: China may become the next
superpower, simply by administering death by
a thousand cuts.

Nailed it right on the head again you did Amber!ReplyDelete
HEY EVERY ONE. Guess how much MADE IN CHINA items are on or around you right now? Frankly call many phome cable other companies now and you realize VERY LITTLE is AMERICAN MADE, SERVICED, ETC any more. Many AMERICAN COMPANIES uh oh look a little deeper and in some way you will find NOT THE RAIN BOW connection kermit the frog sang to us about back in the nine teen seventies but you will find THE CHINA CONNECTION!!! Careful of lots of that made in China stuff too! Some day we may see WE SPEAK ENGLISH here. For we may see Chinese language material around us.. Yes I am paranois and often find I have a good reason to be.
Oh Amber YEAH! Got a new lap top 4 days ago. Oh excuse me every one I better check ALL the labels on this thing and the box one more time to see where it is made. God bless. Good day..
I'm not sure that China would be likely to call in its chips at an inopportune time. Additionally, they've been selling off a chunk of their US bonds, but very slowly. They're holding about 8% of our national debt now; still significant, but down from about 12% just a few years ago. They're still heavily dependent on US outsourcing, which is why I don't think they're in any rush to slay the golden goose. Don't forget our own fellow travelers, corporations like Walmart, who wield their power like a cudgel, forcing many of their vendors to move their manufacturing operations overseas (read China) in order to meet their low-balled wholesale prices. And yep, NAFTA set the precedent; it's been a disaster.ReplyDelete

Supreme Court notice to Chhattisgarh govt. on bail plea of activist
New Delhi, May 4 (ANI): Acting on a bail petition filed by civil rights activist Binayak Sen, in jail for the last 22 months on charges of aiding and abetting naxalite activities in the state, the Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to Chhattisgarh government.
A Bench headed by Justice D. K. Jain also directed the state government to provide medical aid to Sen, who has been suffering from heart ailments.
Sen, who has been in custody since May 14, 2007, has contended that there was no evidence against him to be booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
Sen has also sought bail on medical ground, saying that he had been suffering from a heart ailment and needs treatment at Christian Medical College, Vellore in Tamil Nadu.
Sen, a doctor by profession, has sought bail on the ground that the chargesheet against him has already been filed and he has remained in jail during the investigation of the case registered against him.
The Chhattisgarh Government has accused Sen, who is the vice-president of the People's Union of Civil Liberties (PUCL), of acting as a courier for an alleged naxalite who is in jail. (ANI)

Friday Night Lights – One Workout To Go!
17.4 – What a Workout!
Deadlifts, Wallballs, Rowing and Handstand Push-Ups….my favorite workout so far! We had another amazing night at CPM and I can't believe FNL is coming to an end. I'm very very sad and I'm not the only one. I've gotten several messages from members that feel the same way. If you know me well, you know that there isn't much that will get me out of the house on a Friday night. I get up early in the morning and I prefer to go to bed much earlier than most of you. But I have looked forward to this each and every week and I'm really going to miss it!
Here's my personal recap from last week:
- I really liked 17.3 because the first 3 movements were doable for most of the CPM members.
- Deadlifts are easy to scale by lowering the weight.
- Wallballs – easy to scale also.
- The rower tripped up a few of the shorter members (sorry ladies!) but otherwise didn't give too many of us trouble.
- Handstand push-ups were the movement that would make or break the workout for the majority of us. To actually meet the standards and finish the handstand with your arms locked out and feet on the wall is HARD!
- Despite the fact that I flew through the first 3 movements, I was unable to complete very many handstand push-ups. I'm still not convinced that I even had one good one but my amazing judge says I did so I'm going with that 🙂
- 17.4 was my final workout as a 30 something year old. Sunday was my 40th birthday but I've decided 40 is going to be really good. Every decade seems to be better than the one before and I'm confident that pattern will continue.
- The open workouts have "opened" my eyes to my weaknesses. Not that I didn't already know what they are but it's motivated me to get better at the gymnastics moves. #1 – drop a few pounds, #2 – get more mobile, #3 – practice the movements!
- I'm taking charge. If you caught Chris' FB live video, you may have noticed that I was a little stressed that evening. I like organization and it's often the reason I don't delegate or ask for help and I simply take over a project. Not always the ideal approach but I'm going to look at this as a strength rather than a weakness. Anyhow, I'm fully prepared to delegate some of my duties to others on Friday night and run the show! FNL has been a great learning experience for us at CPM. It's only going to get better! Maybe we will even introduce a little fall FNL action?!
We have one week left. Join us! You won't regret it. If you can't be there Friday night, watch Chris' Facebook live video. He's pretty darn funny hence the reason I forgive him for goofing off during FNL instead of helping me keep everything organized! Thank you CPM friends for supporting us on this Friday Night Lights journey. It's been a BLAST!

Yesterday the ECHO-Florida team did some amazing work. And the weather, while hot and muggy, cooperated. In one full, sweaty, and exhausting day the ECHO-Florida campus was readied, as much as possible, for Hurricane Irma. 21 buildings, acres of agricultural and appropriate technology demonstrations, a high-speed computer network, and more…all requiring some level of preparation.
Last night and today our staff turned their attention to their homes and personal property. Some are evacuating, others are making preparations to "shelter in place."
Now we wait. There is a lot of uncertainty about the forecasts with some projecting that the "eye" will traverse up the East Coast of Florida, others up the West Coast where ECHO is located, and some aiming right up the middle of Florida. All of them project serious winds, rain and potential flooding for us.
And we continue to try to turn from anxious thoughts to prayer. While we are asking to be spared the worst of this severe storm, we certainly care about everyone else who could be in this historic storm's path. The devastation in the Caribbean and the example of Harvey are ever before us and they are sobering.
Thank you for continuing to pray with us. We have also been encouraged by the words of support from people across the U.S. and abroad – we appreciate them!

FTW Staff Picks - Ricochet Robots
For The Win Board Game Cafe's Staff Picks is a weekly series where we take a quick look at some of the staff's favourite games, old and new.
Ricochet Robots
Genre: Puzzle
Designer: Alex Randolph
Player Size: 1 to 99 Players
Game Length: 30 minutes
For fans of: Braintopia, Ubongo
No that's not a typo on the box, Ricochet Robots, claims to support upwards to 99 players. The only other games I've seen make this bold claim is Werewolf & Mafia. And while playing a 99-player Ricochet Robot game would be completely ridiculous for purposes of everyone seeing the board - it's actually possible. And unlike Werewolf & Mafia, the game doesn't slow down as you add more players, in fact it probably ramps up in speed. Also advertised on the box is "over 1500 board configurations!" I came in thinking that was also an exaggeration, but it's actually a legitimate claim and each different configuration will change the way the game is played.
Ricochet Robots is a puzzle game where players race to find the quickest solution. Each turn a token is flipped representing a space on the board. Depending on the colour of that token, players must (in their minds only) build a path from the matching coloured robot to that space on the board. The rules for moving robots are that they may only move horizontally and vertically, and they must continue moving until they hit either another robot or a wall. Once they hit an object, they may stop there, or to continue moving they must turn 90 degrees in another direction.
Once a player thinks they've solved the puzzle, they shout out the number of moves their solution requires and flip the 1 minute sand-timer. Everyone else then has within that time frame to find a solution that is either less moves or they can say something equal or more moves if they think the initial player miscalculated. Once time is up, the player who guessed the least amount of moves shows their solution on the board. If they are incorrect, the next least goes. Whoever correctly presents the quickest solution wins the token. The player with the most tokens at the end of the game wins.
Ricochet Robots is fast and easy to teach. It can accommodate a large group of players and has a near-infinite level of replayability. The component-to-modularity ratio is off the charts. It's a game with some of the best value you'll find on the market. It's tough to find these days, but we've got a copy for play here at the cafe. For anyone who loves brain-busting puzzles mixed with speed, I'd definitely recommend them to try this one out!

Sixty-one tomorrow, and I don't feel a trace of the angst which afflicted me at this time last year. Last year it went on for almost a week, a feeling that now, finally, the end was nigh, that now I was an 'old man' and all that entailed – weeing several times a night, getting cranky, admitting that technology was baffling, that kind of thing. Well, the worrying was pointless. Sixty came and went, the world didn't end, and I still felt the same as I had always done, utterly baffled by how I had arrived at the age I was in what seemed like very few years. My mother died of a massive heart attack at 60 and my father developed prostate cancer and died of a variety of cancers at 68. His parents also died at what would these days be thought 'an early age', but what then, the early 1970s, seemed about the right age. My grandmother, Elsie, died when she was in her early 70s and my grandfather, Walter, followed her not many months later. He had some kind of lung disease, which is not surprising as he smoked heavily all his life. I don't know what Elsie died of. My German grandfather, Heinrich Hinrichs, died very early indeed, at 55 of liver cancer. But my German grandmother, Maria, live to a ripe old age. She didn't pop her clogs until she was, I think, 96. It might have been 95, but she was most definitely in her 90s. Furthermore, she, too, smoked, but only the occasional fag. For some reason, I always assumed that I had her genes and would live to a ripe old age, but my heart attack four years ago rather changed my mind on that score, and my stepmother's stroke three years ago reinforced the suspicion that death can come right out of the blue. But what's all this bollocks about death? I started this entry by saying that this year seems to be the complete opposite of last year and I don't seem to give a fuck that tomorrow I am 61 whereas turning 60 last year seemed like the end of the world. (Incidentally, I had a little chat with my son Wesley (who is only 11) and told him some of the best advice I could give him was not to worry too much. We do tend to worry a lot when we are younger, and it is all rather pointless and stupid. I remember being very concerned, before I eventually lost my cherry (to Wendy Romanes in Edinburgh) that it would never happen and that I would die a virgin. Well, it did. Mind, the young are apt to discount any advice which comes their way, which is a pity. And as young Wes takes after me in many ways, it will go in one ear and out the other. Usual routine tomorrow, driving off for my four days of fighting the good fight as part of Her Majesty's Press, but I have bought a couple of cakes to share with the people I work with and then I shall have a meal with Wei Hsiu after work. But despite what I have written, I must admit that I do wish I were younger, that I could carry on screwing (it's rather died a death since I got married, although for several reasons, my heart attack and the medication I was strongarmed into taking being two of them) and that I wasn't invisible to women. That, unfortunately, I am. I am on the brink of joining the league of 'nice old men' or, depending who is asked (Jenny Coad perhaps being one) 'nasty old men'. Oh well, it happens to us all.
. . .
Unusually, I shall write an entry not on the day but two days earlier, or at least that is what it will seem like. I wrote the above on the night before my birthday, and this is being written in the early hours of the day after my birthday, November 22. Incidentally, it's the years John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. The usual question is: where were you when you were told of the assassination? Well, I was in the Junior House changing room at the Oratory as we were all getting our coats and stuff to walk the mile or so to Junior House. A prefect of other came in - I seem to remember it was Juckes, but I wouldn't swear to that - and told us. In this day of universal terrorism every other weekend, such an event would not cause so much of a flutter, but then it was different. The West and especially the U.S., had persuaded itself it was invulnerable - despite the A bomb paranoia - because we were 'the good guys'. That smug confidence was shattered by the assassination. I won't say it was shattered forever, because several tens of years from now, our children and their children won't give a rat's arse to what we feel, but will be far more concerned with what they feel.
Anyway, had a great Chinese meal with Wei Hsiu at some place called the Phoenixe Palace just around the corner from Baker Street, and I'm pleased to say it was lightyears away from the standard sweet and sour pork with rice and a side order of spring rolls and fried seaweed. Wei Hsui had been there before with a Chinese friend and knew it was good. Plus, as it was my birthday, she treated me. But 61 is odd.
My stepmother gave me three very nice tartan flannel shirts, but they remind me of the kind of shirt which is de rigueur for the local bowls' club treasurer to wear. You, dear reader, won't understand this until (and if) you reach 61, but it wasn't a joke when I wrote above that I ask myself how the bloody hell I got here so quickly, as you will find out. And like me, you will feel as though you are still in your early 20s and wonder, whenever you catch sight of yourself unexpectedly in a shop window or mirror, who the bloody hell is that old git staring at me. I wish he wouldn't. What you don't see is that as you look away, so does he, having thought exactly the same thing. In honour of my birthday and all those who have their birthday on November 21, I include a photo of a generic old fart. Rest assured that I look even older and more decrepit.
. . .
Heard a joke today which is now rather old hat, but which was going the rounds when Iceland went bankrupt:
Q What's the difference between Iceland and Ireland?

IPG Mediabrands announced that, according to Media Post's Media Daily News on Monday, January 16, it "will move to a pay-for-performance model that links the agency's performance and compensation to the clients' business outcome, according to global CEO Matt Seiler. Other ways create a 'horrible disservice' to clients, he said. 'It's simple, if our clients don't achieve their business plan, we don't get paid.'"
TheMedia Daily News story went on to indicate that:
Last year, IPG Mediabrands hired McKinsey & Company to start shifting the business mode. "Frankly, we are happy to move the whole industry in that direction, too," Seiler said.
The move means tying IPG Mediabrands' pay-for-performance business contracts directly to the emerging technology focus spearheaded by IPG Media Lab, which continues to rise in applications, about 600 in its database total. The physical IGP Media Lab in New York highlights 50 applications, helping brand execs better understand emerging technologies by touching and feeling the apps
Nine days later, on January 24, this headline appeared in Media Daily News: "Carat To Steer $3B GM Media, Digital: Global Savvy Was Key To Win."
General Motors has awarded its estimated $3.5 billion global media planning and buying account to Aegis Group's Carat, after a formal review that began in August, the carmaker confirmed Tuesday.
Other contenders included the U.S. incumbent Starcom, Omnicom Media Group and Interpublic's [Mediabrands.] Commenting on the award, GM's Global CMO Joel Ewanick said: "We wanted a media agency partner with the sophistication to leverage global marketing opportunities." He called Carat's approach "innovative" and able to "drive significant marketing value" that would align with the company's global and regional brands.
And further in the Media Daily News Story:
Reps for IPG's Mediabrands and Omnicom Media Group did not immediately respond to queries for comment.
So, let me make sure I get this straight: IPG's Mediabrands' CEO Matt Seiler makes a wild claim that Mediabrands' new pay-for-performance compensation model is going to be a game changer because of some gobbledygook about technology, and then a little over a week later GM, one of the world's largest advertisers, pulls a portion of its media buying business from Mediabrands and gives it to Carat. Could the two be linked? You make the call.
At the time, Seiler's announcement seemed like he was waving a white flag in order to scrape up any crumbs of business he could find by essentially agreeing to work on spec, a move that has been tried many times over the years by desperate agencies that are on a precipitous decline. The GM announcement that Carat had won its business meant that Mediabrands had lost its piece of the GM business, which put a spotlight on the hypocrisy of Seiler's previous week's announcement.
If pay-for-performance were the most effective and efficient agency compensation model, the Big Three conglomerates, WPP, Omnicom, and Publicis, would be using it and it would have become the preferred way to compensate agencies. These conglomerates are as profit minded and as confident of the efficacy of their work as Seiler's Mediabrands is, but they and their clients have not adopted the pay-for-performance model. Why? Because "performance" is too hard to measure, as it involves creative execution, competitive activity, pricing, weather, luck, and distribution channel effectiveness, among hundreds of factors.
Therefore, when pay-me-if-it-works is touted as the best new system and all other systems are called a "horrible disservice" by a media agency that has just lost one of the world's biggest spending advertisers, presumably because GM didn't think Mediabrands did a good job, Matt Seiler makes about as much sense as a Republican candidates' debate does.
And, similar to the debates, the perception that is created is not one of effectiveness, but one of desperation – not a good way to win new clients.

Almost needed to make a new category for this subject, but I think Elegant Dressing fits the bill - just. Pat McGrath, is the legendary fashion editorial and runway makeup artist for iconic design houses such as Versace, Balenciaga, Stella McCartney, Christian Dior, Givenchy and Gucci. McGrath's been at the epicenter of the fashion world for over two decades, creating signature looks for each designer from season to season worn by top models including Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid and Joan Smalls.
McGrath launched her makeup line Pat McGrath Labs in 2015 with just one product available on her website and through Sephora stores, which I was all about and shared in my December 22 2016 Elegant Dressing Post. Barely three years later the brand received a $60 million minority investment from New York based investment company Eurazeo Brands giving Pat McGrath Labs an astonishing valuation of $1 billion!!
This news comes right on the heels of Kylie Jenner's Kylie Cosmetics company that begun with lip kit palettes. Forbes valued Jenner's company at $900 million, another stratospheric amount and last week graced the Forbes magazine cover. However, on Monday with Eurazeo Brand's infusion of cash Pat McGrath blew right past her.
The meteoric rise of these two makeup moguls is of particular interest to me having been involved in the cosmetics world during my early professional life; initially as a fashion model followed by several years working at Estée Lauder then Donna Karan. Even now years later in a completely different field as an interior designer, and with friends still in the business I continue to have a keen interest in the industry.
In Jenner's case fame from Living with the Kardashians brought worldwide name recognition which she parlayed into a makeup line that went from zero to $900 million also in 3 years with sales generated through her Facebook and Instagram accounts. Forbes is forecasting that in another year Jenner at 21 will become the youngest self-made billionaire, although we can debate whether her success is actually "self-made."
McGrath's story is entirely different. She grew up in Northampton, England with her mother who emigrated from Jamaica. As McGrath shared in her interview with The Guardian newspaper, she was introduced to makeup by her mother Jean..."She always put on a full face of makeup then got in the bath to get that dewy finish. It was next level, but this is where I got my makeup tips from — at seven years old." That was the genesis of her passion for makeup and left Northampton for London to pursue a career as a makeup artist.
Pat McGrath is an exceptionally gifted artist who produces an inexhaustible supply of makeup statements. She maintains an at times punishing work schedule that includes leading her team through 60-plus shows during Fashion Week, creating transformative looks that have sparked global trends.
Ms McGrath's idealistic outlook has remained constant..."It has always been my dream to create an iconic beauty brand that goes beyond the usual limitations, that's outside the parameters of what is expected." At age 53 Pat McGrath sits atop of her $billion dollar self-made empire - totally awesome!
McGrath and Jenner have disrupted the cosmetics industry's traditional department store concept with neither maintaining a presence there. Choosing instead to drive sales through their social media platforms and in McGrath's case also with Sephora, the personal care emporium.
Can't wait to hear about what are sure to be eye-popping stats from Rihanna's Fenty Beauty whose fab lipgloss Fenty Glow I've been wearing and loving all summer!

It should go without saying that "seeing some kangaroos and koalas up close" is on most visitor's to-do lists for a trip to Australia.
When searching for a place in/near Sydney that would provide such an experience, Taronga Zoo regularly popped up as an option, but I wasn't interested in going to a zoo. Most zoos keep the animals at a distance, and don't focus on a specific set of animals. I've seen lions, tigers, and bears before and didn't want to spend money on things I'm familiar with; I wanted an authentically Australian animal adventure. A couple of keystrokes and key terms on Google pulled up Featherdale Wildlife Park.
Featherdale specializes in Australian wildlife, and provided an interactive experience with the animals. It was also less expensive than Taronga. That was all of the convincing I needed.
A short train ride outside of Sydney's city limits took us to Blacktown, and from there, a short ride on a metro bus dropped us off in front of the park. The whole trip took less than an hour.
Featherdale definitely gave the hands-on wildlife experience I was looking for. From the moment you walk in, there are several areas in the park that have the kangaroos and wallabies walking freely with options to feed them and the chance to get up close and personal with a koala bear. The park also houses Tasmanian devils, emus, dingoes, quokkas, and plenty of other local wildlife for you to discover, with many of these exhibits also having scheduled feedings/interactive time throughout the day for visitors to participate in.
The staff members were all extremely knowledgeable about the animals and seemed genuinely interested in the welfare of the wildlife, which is usually a good indication as to how the animals are treated at a facility.
Featherdale only takes about 2 hours to fully experience, so if you go early enough, you'll still have plenty of the day left once you arrive back in Sydney for other activities. Many people opt to make Featherdale a stop on their way to visit the Blue Mountains, which is a full day itinerary.
TRAVEL HACK: Go during the week for lighter crowds and more time with the animals.

Classic, pure, dreamy and romantic, are all words that spring to mind when you think of the colour white. This barely there hue really comes into its own when paired with the softest shades of grey, linen and blush…

As you can see this neutral palette works perfectly whatever the season. Lift the colour scheme for summer by mixing light, airy and transparent fabrics with the whitest of flowers teamed with fresh green foliage. Alternatively, tone it all down a touch with soft greys and beige's. Create depth and texture in your bouquet by introducing a sprinkling of berries and tie together with trailing silk ribbons. Create drama with candlelight twinkling amongst pretty glassware and florals.

Tackling Task Management
Task Management. Multitasking. Sounds good on a resume, right? How many of you would say you have mastered this skill? How many of you were simultaneously making other mental notes during that quick thought?!
I'll be the first one to raise my hand to say that I've become a multitasking queen. A Queen. At. Multitasking. I have the freedom to work from home so as of late, I've been finding myself doing about 5 things at any given moment to truly maximize the hours in the day. The second I hit "brew" on my coffee machine, I'm deep in visualizing a mental checklist of my morning chores to tackle while I filter through my email and begin to schedule out and prioritize my work day. Start a load of laundry. Wipe down the counter tops. Open the windows. Email boss. Dust the TV stand. Send sister birthday card. Book travel for upcoming work trip. Sip coffee. Prep lunch. Post to Instagram. Breathe. Repeat.
And the list goes on and on and on. Suddenly, I find myself constantly looking for small tasks and work to push through so I can satisfy that mental checklist of "getting things done." Ever find yourself in this situation? I do, frequently. In an effort to become more efficient, you actually begin to lose the ability to truly listen, live in the moment, and you become more forgetful. We end up juggling a million different things at once, throwing ourselves into a stressful tizzy. No fun for anyone.
So I'm suggesting grown up time outs. Yes, I always encourage maximizing your time and to give it all you got--but don't forget to take breaks; focus in on your conversations with your friends, co-workers and strangers. Be present in your workouts and listen to your body. Make a list of priority items to get done and tackle them right away. Then enjoy the spontaneity that each new day offers. Try to actively stop thinking about whats next on your long list of daily to-do's and experiment with being present and engaged in whatever task you're currently working through.
Think of it like this; your brain is like a computer---the more applications and windows you have running, the less speed and lack of optimized performance you'll have.
Practice mindfulness. Shut off those pesky social notifications on your phone because guess what? They'll still be there when you return to your phone. Give yourself a well deserved hug and treat yourself to a morning of calm. Lets get back to the basics and give our loved ones our full attention instead of half-involved chats and surface updates.
Seriously, though. Put down your phone, stash the laptops and live in the moment. Thanks for the read ;)
