Glam or glitter rock started in the early 1970's when musicians and performers decided to cover themselves in glitter and wear outrageous clothing. David Bowie most famously popularized this, but other musicians that were popular in the glam rock world include T. Rex (more particularly Marc Bolan), Sweet, Roxy Music, and Lou Reed. These musicians dressed up in layers of fabric and flamboyant clothing, often combining stereotypical gender roles so that they appeared as a feminine male or masculine female.
Many say that glam rock originated from late 60's psychedelic rock and fashions. I personally agree, as late 60's psychedelia and mid-70's glam and glitter rock fashions are quite similar. Both are nearly outrageous, defying the previously set limits and breaking the barriers. So this is why I have provided for you a simple list of tips and ideas on how to make yourself up in more mid-70's glam.
1.) Metallic Fabrics
When one thinks glitter, they simply can't pass the thought of shiny metallic colors as well. Metallics were popularized by the likes of both Marc Bolan and David Bowie, and such shiny fashions are still seen today.
Metallic Bodycon Skirt
Metallic Moto Jacket
Coated Leggings
2.) Striped/Designed Trousers
Pants with fun designs across them may seem rather bold for today's fashion. And yes, they are. But if you look around nowadays, a lot of people are wearing leggings with crazy patterns across them. Of course in the 1970's these patterns weren't quite as bold, so if you're going to buy leggings or trousers with patterns on them, make sure they're not as bright or neon and stick to simple stripes or checkered patterns.
Essential Grid Pattern Capris
3.) Outrageous Shoes
Outrageous fashion designs have been around since fashion itself started. But the real beginnings of outrageous shoes began in the 1970's with platforms. Although platform shoes are quite uncommon these days, many variations exist. For example, heels with incredibly high wedges are common in the fashion world today as well as Doc Martens, a popular brand of combat boots. Shoes with glitter are also common in the glam rock world.

Glittered Platform Sandals
4.) Lots and Lots of Gold
As well as metallic colors, gold is quite dominant in the fashion world. Gold is an item you can very much get away with wearing nowadays, as it's still seen a lot. A gold accessory is a nice touch that can accent almost any outfit and add a little glam to anything.
Pyramid Studs
Geo Cutout Cuff
5.) Bold Blazers
Blazers are an incredibly popular fashion even today. In the 70's, Marc Bolan was almost famous for wearing colorful, glittery blazers and jackets over his ellaborate outfits. The following blazers may help you as well.
Sequined 3/4 Sleeve Jacket
Quilted Stitch Bomber Jacket

Bubble Box
How far can digitalization go if it comes to cleaning the laundry? BUBBLE BOX is a largely digitalized cleaning service in the Zurich area. The company accepts orders from private and business customers via app, collects laundry on site, cleans it and delivers the fresh laundry within forty-eight hours. Orders and payments are managed entirely online. The users' desired pickup and delivery times as well as delivery vehicle logistics are coordinated in real time.
BUBBLE BOX was developed and implemented from scratch. Here a system was developed that automatically depicted all work steps from customer management and payment all the way to delivery and quality control. An algorithm developed by keylight harmonizes orders with delivery cycles, thus ensuring time and resource-saving delivery routes.
In many service areas involving analogue service elements – e.g., taxis, rental cars, food deliveries – competitiveness is gained by digitalizing platforms with simple and consistent digital service. BUBBLE BOX is one of three important players staking a claim in the Swiss metropolis. Through its consistent digitalization, the company is reaching for a considerable increase in its market share.
"For me, helping a digital venture to flourish means, on the one hand, going into every little
detail of the business to understand how to deliver customer value. On the other hand, I have to challenge my entrepreneurial clients to think their business in into a bigger, digital picture. This entrepreneur's' perspective and the people behind it is are what excites me most and what makes me get up every morning."

13 Jun
Wednesday 13th June was Poetry By Heart Day here at Wilton campus. For the third year in a row, Ms Easton and I have organised a whole school enrichment opportunity and competition, as we believe learning poetry by heart ignites the imagination.
As was proven beyond doubt, remembering poems for very many of our students creates an immediate pleasure which turns into a lasting delight. All of those who enthusiastically took part absorbed something from the world of poetry, which they then gave back to the world of Wilton with their personalities firmly stamped upon it. Those who became finalists affirmed the naturalness of poetry, and the way it involves familiar processes of breath and recollection and association, while at the same time they delighted in its strangeness and its connection to something transcendent.
All of the prize winners had clearly worked hard, not just in remembering the lines but interpreting the meaning and conveying that in their presentations. From the comic to the sad and more serious poems, there was an enthusiasm and commitment and our audience was often enthralled.
Well done everyone for personal and mentor group achievements and for earning the following house points:
Raiders 120
Warriors 105
Troopers 32
Also a special congratulations to Yannis Mitchell (Year 5) for being overall school champion; Fergus Butcher (Year 4) for winning second place and Archer Holmes (Year 7) for winning third. You are real champions!
A full list of the winners can be found here.

How is she coming along /3/? What else do I need to fix about her?
Tell her a joke, she looks like she could do with some cheering up.
The tear ducts/lacrimal caruncles in the eyes look wrong
Quick overpaint. Skin looks nice.
There's some wacky shit going on at the temple and below it.
The two corners of the eyes should form a line going downwards medially.
The apogee of the upper and lower eyelids form a line going inwards medially.
Where the zygomatic portrudes is a bit low. Could be because of the next point.
Eyes too small (and mouth a bit too high).
The nose gets wider the further down it goes.
So i'm relatively new to CG, less than a year. And this is the first time i really worked on a character but everybody seems to hate it. What did i do wrong ? How can i make it better (using blender) ?
nose, top of the eyelids, hairline, neck, big head, terrible background choice
It has the detail of that dancing baby from Ally McBeal, circa fucking forever ago. Look at a human face from all angles. Use the fuck out of references.
You're working on something that everyone knows well, so everyone can see the flaws. Your only choice is keep practicing and git gud anon. You'll get it.
That hair whatever you used to make it is terrible... The face it's missing anatomy... you should really study what makes a face, really you can fuck up anything about human anatomy and get away with it but the face.
Inventorfag here, I'm working on making a mold that would be 3D printed, I figured my best course of action would be making the object (that would be molded), and somehow inverse that into a mold. Does anybody here know how I could basically turn the model into anti-matter and put it inside of a block to create a hollow mold? I could try and print the model itself and make a mold out of clay, but I'd like to skip a step, and it's always good if I can learn something new. Anyone here have any tips or experience with anything like this?
Not an inventorfag but you want a Boolean subtract I believe.
Shell it?
CADfag here. A Boolean subtract would just totally destroy the mesh if you insert it into a closed mesh.
CAD applications have an obsession with optimizing the result, so if you're trying to subtract a ball from a larger ball, the smaller one is just going to disappear because it wouldn't change the silhouette.
You still want to do a Boolean subtract, except instead of a single object, you want to do it against the two halves of the mold.
However, I'm going to stop here because I can't...

I know this isn't ic, but I want some dvd or course about sculpting anatomy in zbrush.
What would you recommend?
If you cant draw your only hope is to learn to sculpt clay irl and even then you'll come back to "why did it turn out so bad?" desu
I can draw but I'm not that good acording to ic.
then you must be really bad. Mind posting some wip?
Im looking for some SFM models, is there any other place i can grab some thats not sfmlab or the workshop? They can be sfw or nsfw it dosnt matter....
a better question is, is there a way to import SFM models with FBX format with bones or just OBJ as a mesh ?
op here i know you can import FBX into blender but
I dont think it comes with bones, ill do a test really quick, sorry if im to noob to understand u
So i just did a fbx import and it came with bones so BUMP
I have one photo of a girl I want to model in Maya. Pic related isn't it, but it looks roughly similar; a 3/4 view of her face. What's the quickest way to make an accurate mesh of her face?
>i have nothing to contribute
facegen faget
That's from www.3d.sk/
Depends on the software, but you put a 3d head in place and shape it to the side profile, and ......front view
How much would my VFX workflow speed up if I used an SSD for all the files?
I'm currently using normal hard disk drives and SSD's are cheap enough to get a few... but I'm not sure how much more beneficial it'll be. Would simulations in fumefx go faster? Or rendering as a whole?
I got one recently and wasn't that impressed. Photoshop constantly gave me a low memory error so I had to change the scratch disk anyway. Mari become a bit more tolerable but again I cant save to the ssd. I would honestly wait until the capacity becomes 4tb for a real world use scenario.
SSDs are quite a lot faster, but how often do you swap/save something to disk? I would guess not that often, so it probably doesn't affect your workflow too much. There are probably other things that are a better investment, like more RAM or a better CPU or whatnot.
BTW, SATA SSDs are so yesteryear, it's all about NVMe now. That shit blows traditional SSDs out of the water. Also becoming quite affordable now. I'm running on a 256GiB NVMe chip on my new workstation now.
If your pipeline involves a lot of file reading and writing, you will notice the changes.
Otherwise, stick with what >>512208 said. For rendering, additional CPU and memory (and depending on your renderer, GPU) will be more beneficial.
Does anyone know what happened to this Tutorial that was on:
Does anyone have a mirror by chance?
I'm sorry to tell you this anon, but all 5 eps of the series are dead.
Also, hard surface tutorials on Zbrush are a dime a dozen.
ask the author himself if you really care
I liked his style, everyone is a little different but I remember his clicked the most. Plus, he wasn't a poo in a loo and I liked his voice
What kind of specs am I looking at when it comes to 3D software.
If you're feeling generous, could you also tell me what each spec contributes? For example, what does a more powerful GPU contribute to the 3D modelling process, etc.
you should shoot for a
i5 4 physical cores
16gb ram

>2x 2tb hdd for raid
2tb is still a lot of storage man, i dont see the issue here, expecially when you are just starting
can we have a positive thread on /3/?
things that worked beautifully, your achievements you're proud of, etc.
for example I'm quite new to all this. always heard how a fucking chore UV-mapping is.
now I did my first UV-mapping in blender on a character I made and it was actually fucking easy and even almost fun (especially the adding of seams while checking the test pattern for distortions felt really satisfying when getting the uv better and better).
>being satisfied with your work
>being an artist
you can only chose one.
>always heard how a fucking chore UV-mapping is.
now I did my first UV-mapping in blender on a character I made and it was actually fucking easy and even almost fun
Goddamit OP don't give me false hope.
Working on my first model know and I'm dreading UV mapping because of all the shit I've heard about it.
Here's a robot I modeled recently. Before I rig it, I want to know if there are changes I should make.
If it's ur vision it's up to you. I think the feet might look like you would trip over on them and have a lot of clipping issues. What about replicating the hands into a foot shape.
I used a boolean operation to in the shin to give the front and back parts of the feet room to move without clipping:
How would I go about ripping a 3D custom character made in a MMORPG game like Onigiri for use the 3D model to either 3D print or papercraft a personal figurine.
Varies from game to game. You could try a generic solution like 3Dripper DX, or you could check out the Xentax forums and see if anyone's hacked the game files yet.
Thanks... sort of got it but fun trying to get it to load into Blender. No textures but it's a starting point.
I used 3Dripper DX back when I played.
Hello Blender pros. I come from a heavy math / programming background. How deep can you go in terms of custom scripts? Can you make the objects move with a script? How good is the game engine?
How to git gud at blender fast?
Don't use Blender game engine. Use Unreal or Unity.
Very. Yes. No. You don't, it's a complex program that takes time to master.
python :)
I know this is the wrong board, but is there a place to legitimately talk about making 2d animation on 4chan?
I took a look at /f/, but I have absolutely no idea what's going on in there. Seriously, the fuck.
(Obligatory 3dma gif attached)
you'd think there would be a board for 2d.
Not many animators on /3/ either. But there are a few.
While there is a lot of similarities between the skillsets needed for 2D and 3D animation there is a pretty big differance too.
Both require you to understand how to make readable poses and develop a fine tuned sense of timing, know all the classic animation rules etc.
But in 2D you always know the final camera angle, and you get to morph your drawing to fit the frame however you please.
The final animation is at a low framerate and you really...

I realize you didn't ask this, OP, and if you already know this, awesome.
You know how /ic/ always tells people to study Loomis? Well, there's an animator that is just as crucial to study for animators. Get the book in pic related. You will not regret it. It's considered a must have for every animator out there, so much so that some studios GIVE their animators one.
We pick something very simple to create and we all give ourselves something like an hour to see what we get. It can be any stage of completion just modeled / sculpted not textured or rendered etc. We vote on a winner then they get to decide what to make next. I really like these rise of the tomb raider props or we could pick something from real life as long as it's simple enough to do.
How about you get better without any challenges or rewards you toolbag.
Actually doing that too anon. Don't really know why you are here tho with that attitude.
You know this is still 4chan right?

Hong Kong's campaign for democracy has entered a crucial stage.
The students, who are at the forefront of this campaign, should brace themselves for a protracted fight as the community starts yearning for a return to normal business and the ranks of street protesters begin to dwindle.
Not too many people thought the street protests would last this long, but as resolve and interest flag, the responsibility to keep the fires burning is even more crucial now than at the start of the campaign.
The leaders of the movement have to focus on the fundamental principles that have nurtured the struggle amid efforts by opponents to shift attention to the negative impact of the protests. Only by keeping the people's hearts and minds fixed on those principles can the leaders win support beyond the student activists and the pan-democratic camp.
There is no mystery in the government's sudden decision to call off the dialogue with student leaders scheduled for Friday.
It was Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying who assigned his deputy, Chief Secretary Carrie Lam, to meet with the students. Leung is the director and Lam is the performer on stage. As such, it is Leung who doesn't want the dialogue to take place.
This is a point that should not be lost in the minds of the people: The students are seeking a way to break the impasse, but Leung has slammed the door in their faces.
It is not hard to understand why.
Several legislators from the pan-democratic camp have filed a complaint with the Independent Commission Against Corruption calling for a thorough investigation into a secret HK$50 million consultancy fee Leung had received from an Australian company.
The chief executive has denied any wrongdoing. But he certainly doesn't want media to focus on any inquiry into the transaction and the possibility that misconduct attended the deal. Better to shift public attention to the Occupy campaign and blame the activists for all the conflicts in society.
Given this scenario, Scholarism, Hong Kong Federation of Students and other pro-democracy groups should endeavor to refocus the issue to the struggle for genuine universal suffrage in the 2017 chief executive election and beyond.
Scholarism has already sent its members to all districts across the territory to apologize to the public for the inconveniences and economic fallout the campaign has brought. Their sincerity should help to win further support from the grassroots.
The people should be constantly reminded, especially at this stage of the struggle, that they should look beyond the short-term ill effects of the protests and see the long-term benefit, which is to gain the basic right to choose their own leaders, as distinguished from the "Beijing nominates, Hong Kong votes" concept.
At the same time, the leaders of the movement should stress that the campaign is not intended for Hong Kong to break away from Beijing. It should focus on the electoral reform issue so that central authorities will not think that the movement is challenging its rule.
As the Occupy campaign approaches its third week, most of the participants are feeling exhausted in body and spirit and the goal seems as far away as on the day the protests started. The number of overnight participants has been decreasing, and some protest sites are manned by less than a hundred people at daytime.
A senior official from the home affairs department was even seen walking on the blocked Queensway on Thursday, and some protest organizers are deliberating on whether they should return some of the main roads to the public while continuing to occupy Harcourt Road in Admiralty.
Tactics must be based on the objective conditions, but the principles behind the struggle must never be compromised.

It's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! MLK was an incredible public speaker. He had a profound influence on his community, his state, and his country. In my opinion, history textbooks don't portray the essence of his message or his understanding of the innate rights God has granted to humankind. King rose up and spoke against cruelty and injustice committed against Black Americans. He believed in acting out of love, and he believed that meant never backing down when an innocent citizen's rights or freedoms were withheld or taken away.
I've lived in southern states all of my life. King's image in my formative years was that of a passionate man of hero status. Growing up, I thought everyone had the freedoms King fought for. I assumed everyone understood it is wrong to treat any man, woman, or child—created in God's image!—as inferior to another man, woman, or child. Now I know that devaluing one innocent human life is the devaluing all of mankind as a worthless, disposable mass. King explained this within the context of society in a country: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." We are all "tied in a single garment of destiny."
MLK wasn't a perfect man, but he didn't let his mistakes stop him from using his influence for good. His Letter from Birmingham Jail is a chock-full example of his heart, his bravery, and his compassion. There was so much he'd seen and experienced in his life to make him bitter and angry, but he committed to acting morally in the face of injustice. His words inspired hope in his listeners, and they continue to inspire hope. It begs the question: If moral leaders inspire hope, what do immoral leaders inspire?

Caminito del Rey, Malaga
El Caminito del Rey, also known as ´The King's Little Pathway' just so happens to be along the steep walls of a very narrow gorge in El Chorro, in the province of Málaga. The 8 kilometre path, considered to be the 'world's most dangerous walkway' was in fact closed for many years due to the disrepair, but, since 2015 it has been up and running making a lot safer. The path runs through the beautiful Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, which is exactly 700 metres deep with the Guadalhorce River running along the bottom of it. Perhaps this is not something for those afraid of heights, but if you're willing to face your fears, this is definitely the way to do so.
Canyoning in Rio Verde, Granada
If you love anything water
If you love anything to do with water, Canyoning might be the best thing you've come across in Andalusia. With some of the most beautiful crystalline waters of the region, mystical cascades and breathtaking cliffs of up to 11 metres, it's quite the escape from normality. No matter what level you are, there is most definitely a tour guide for you that will make your experience more than what you could have hoped for. There are many companies that offer excursions as it is a very rural location so you will no doubt find the best one for you, all you'll need after that is a change of clothes after all the jumping and you are set to go!
Caving in Nivar Cave, Granada
Another thing you could take part in would be exploring through the underwater world within the Nivar Cave's just outside of Granada. The instructors that join you on the trip will teach you how to abseil and progress in a narrow cave whilst giving you the opportunity to rappel down amongst stalactites and stalagmites! You are not under any pressure whatsoever when in those caves, you take your time in what you do and take in the beauty of the experience without feeling pressured, after all it's not very often you can do these things right?
Skydiving, Cadiz
Now for the craziest of all.. The one activity where you'll have to try that extra bit harder to give your mum a heart attack when you tell her, so please make sure she's sitting down. It is within the bucket lists of many people and yet many people will never do it for a variety of reasons, However why not really get out of the comfort zone you've been stuck on for so long and tick off one more item on your list? In Cadiz, you can take the skies with professional divers and skydive from 3500 metres up in the sky. The dive will last roughly 40 seconds but without a doubt will be the most unforgettable 40 seconds of your life, after that the overall flight with the parachute will last 5 minutes until you finally reach land again and decide you want to do it again...

DAILYKENN.com -- Apparently the term "burglar" is out of vogue.
From themaven.net/bluelivesmatter ▼
Cherokee County, GA – A Baptist pastor used a gun to protect his wife and three daughters from a home intruder Nov. 16.
Euharlee Baptist Church Pastor Keith Beck heard glass breaking, and found 19-year-old Donavan Simmons trying to break into his house.
"The homeowner advised that the suspect was making entry into the basement area of his home when he shot in the general direction of the suspect," Cherokee County Sheriff's Office Spokeswoman Marianne Kelley told the Atlanta Constitution-Journal.
The pastor fired one shot, and hit the intruder in the head.
A neighbor, Bill Kennedy, told WSB TV the Beck family heard the intruder breaking into their basement window.
"Come to the door and she was screaming, 'Invader in the house!' and her two kids were still in there asleep," Kennedy said. "I think he did the right thing, protect his family."
The pastor's wife and 12-year-old child escaped the house, but the couple's two younger children were still in a bedroom when their father shot the home invader.
Simmons was taken to the hospital after officers found him in the Beck's backyard, where police said he stumbled after being shot in the head.
He was charged with burglary, making terroristic threats, and possession of a Schedule IV drug with intent to distribute.
Police said Simmons lives near the pastor, but it is unclear why Beck's home was targeted.
Neighbors were supportive of Beck's handling of the scary situation.
"I mean, I'm sorry that the individual chose to break into his home. But I'm glad the homeowner defended his family," Ledlie Conger said.
He said it's the second home invasion in the historically crime-free neighborhood in recent months. Conger's family was the victim of a home invasion a couple months ago, but the family dog scared the intruder away, according to WAGA.
"Someone breaking into your house, you got a right to shoot them," neighbor James Tanner agreed.

From the 5th to the 9th of July 2017 the XVIIIth version of the International Symposium in Medical/Health Geography was held at the University of Angers in France, along the banks of the River Loire (Figure 1). This bi-annual conference brings together around 200 of the world's leading medical/health geographers and in keeping with the tradition of the conference there was a strong Maynooth University presence, nine in total, consisting of both current and former researchers. There were six current staff/students and an additional three former colleagues, along with a number of other Irish presenters from Edinburgh and Canterbury Universities. From the current staff, Jan Rigby, Martina Roche and Ronan Foley attended and presented, while postdoctoral researcher, Dunsin Arodudu and PhD students Hannah Grove and Darren O'Rourke also attended and/or presented. In addition it was really good to see former Maynooth University colleagues that included; Melanie Tomintz (Canterbury, former NCG), Andy Power (Southampton, former Geography/NIRSA) and Niamh Donnellan (Canterbury, former Geography MA).
The subjects the Maynooth presenters covered were wide-ranging, reflecting the breadth of work currently taking place in the department. These included two appearances by Ronan Foley, the first of which was an organised session co-organised by Ronan and Sarah Bell (Exeter) on the current state-of-the-art in therapeutic landscapes. This included a co-presentation with colleagues from Exeter and McMaster and a response from key researchers in the area, incorporating a remote contribution from the concept's original founder, Wil Gesler (Figure 2). A second paper was co-presented with Dunsin Arodudu on their current EPA funded-project on Green and Blue Infrastructures and health outcomes. Hannah Grove, a SPHERE-funded scholar (supervised by Jan Rigby) presented a very well received poster on her research on healthy activity and enabling spaces for older adults in County Kildare (Figure 3). Our former colleagues are engaged in a wide range of work related to Smoking, GIS and Active Transport, Health Services and Geographies of Care. In addition, a new key textbook on Critical Health Geographies, of whom Andy Power was one of six co-authors, was launched at the conference to considerable acclaim.
From a social and networking perspective the conference was, as always, a joyful event and the conference was very well-organised by a team of French colleagues led by Sebastian Fleuret, who in addition to the formal meetings, also organised field-trips to local vineyards, troglodyte caves and a typical Chateau, home of the current Duke of Anjou. There were also receptions at the start and a conference dinner in a local church and many old friends were re-met and new friends made during the event and as to be expected the French cuisine was appreciated by all, in including the Maynooth visitors (Figure 4).
The content of the conference was incredibly rich, with the six or so parallel sessions making the choice of session always difficult. Equally the strength of the subject was evident across a wide range of important topics of public concern and covered everything from the health effects of climate change and a huge range of papers on the value of the natural environment to health and wellbeing, while other especially interesting work covered themes and methodologies like geo-narratives, health across the life-course, emergent diseases and the ongoing duty of health geographers to draw attention to disparities and inequalities in health outcomes across a range of urban/rural and global north/south settings.
The XIXth Symposium is planned for Queenstown in New Zealand in July 2019 and there is every reason for us to hope for a similar and possibly expanded Irish attendance. From Maynooth, there are new projects being developed on elder orphans and geographies of care, farmer's health and wellbeing and spatial decision-making in Irish health care politics alongside ongoing work on green/blue space and health and mortality as well as some newly developing relationships with British and European colleagues. We have also begun discussions with the Medical Geography Commission of the IGU around organising an event in Ireland in the lead up to the 2024 IGU Congress in Dublin. The subject remains a strong one not just in Maynooth, but also through some excellent individual researchers in Galway, Limerick and Dublin and we see this as a real growth area in Irish geography more broadly.

Urocerus gigas (Giant woodwasp, Banded horntail, Greater horntail)
A woodland species found throughout the UK, usuall in or near coniferous woods, and from May to October,U. gigas is a wood boring insect which attacks softwoods of freshly felled logs/unhealthy trees. The species leaves discrete tunnels, frequently filled with hard packed coarse fibrous frass, hard to dig out from tunnels. The tunnels are large, round and discrete between 6-7mm.
Size: Up to 40mm
Special features: Great Wood Wasps are often mistaken for Hornets because they look similar to a wasp but considerably larger.
They're sometimes called 'Giant Horntails' for obvious reasons. The female Great Wood Wasp has a long pointed tube at the back of her body, and this is usually mistaken for a stinging organ. In fact it's an ovipositor, which she uses to lay her eggs in the trunks of coniferous trees. Despite their slightly fearsome appearance, these insects are quite harmless.

When protecting yourself from cybersecurity threats, knowledge is probably your greatest resource. However, knowledge can only get you so far when hackers are constantly scheming sophisticated ways to break into your computer, mobile devices and online accounts. In addition to knowledge, you need the right security tools to help protect your data and systems from intrusion. As part of our Cybersecurity Awareness series, we're going over four key security tools that are effective and easy to implement, each only requiring basic knowledge of how computers and mobile devices work to set up. If you're ready to give your personal cybersecurity a serious upgrade, continue reading.
Password managers
The typical suggestions for creating strong passwords are to make them complex, unique and at least eight characters long. That's good advice, but these days, many people have dozens of digital accounts, so it's impractical to implement without a little assistance. Enter the password manager, a program that stores and encrypts your passwords, and lets you easily access them whenever you need to, usually by entering a single master password. Password managers can help you dramatically increase your password security, are one of the simplest security tools to use and can come with a variety of helpful features, such as automatically filling in login boxes and generating robust passwords for new accounts you create. Some Internet browsers, such as Firefox and Chrome, even come with password managing features built in, though if you're serious about cybersecurity, then you should probably get a dedicated local or cloud-based password manager program. Local password managers store your passwords on your system, but if you have multiple devices, you'll have to manually update all of them whenever you add a new password or change an old one. Cloud-based managers store your passwords on their servers and sync any changes to all of your devices, but they also often charge a monthly fee for service and can be vulnerable to data breaches. Examples of trusted password managers include KeePass, LastPass and Dashlane.
Malware protection
Malware, an abbreviation for malicious software, is a constant threat on the Internet, even for the tech-savvy among us. It can spread through email, fake versions of popular apps, your Internet browser and even false advertisements, and often it's not obvious when your computer or mobile device has been infected. To ensure you're safe, you should get some form of malware protection software, which is essentially the modern incarnation of antivirus. Good malware protection will regularly scan your system for malware and remove any that it finds, as well as monitor the files you download and sometimes even scan the websites you visit for suspicious code. You may have to set your malware protection to a scanning schedule after you install it, and if that's the case, scanning once a week is usually all you'll need. Note that malware scans can take up a lot of your system resources, and while running one, you may find that your computer or mobile device is quite sluggish, so you will probably want to schedule them during off-hours when your computer or device will be on, but you won't be actively using it. You should also note that malware protection software is not the be-all and end-all of digital security, and will do nothing against some cybersecurity threats, such as phishing. Some examples of good malware protection software with free versions are Avast, AVG and Malwarebytes.
Two-factor authentication
Even if you have a strong, unique password under lock and key with a password manager, it's not safe if the company that requires it suffers a data breach and leaks it to hackers. To further secure your online accounts, you should enable two-factor authentication on them whenever you can. Two-factor authentication, sometimes abbreviated as 2FA, adds an additional level of security to your accounts by requiring another key apart from your password to log in. That key could be a number that the service sends you via SMS text or email, or a code generated by an app that you've downloaded, or even a token stored on dedicated authentication hardware, like a USB stick that connects to your computer or mobile device. While it's easy for you to supply the two-factor key, it's fairly difficult for a hacker to get as it's often generated by something people tend to keep close to them, such as a phone or keychain fob. While text message-based 2FA is the simplest to use, it also has some vulnerabilities, such as phone porting attacks, which let hackers intercept your texts and calls on another phone, but it's definitely better than nothing. If you're interested in app-based 2FA, some examples of services are Google Authenticator and Authy, and if you're interested in authentication hardware, YubiKey seems to be the most popular solution.
Backup storage
While you may not consider it at first, you should absolutely include backup storage among your most important security tools. Having backups for your data can help mitigate the damage of ransomware, an increasingly common type of malware that locks your computer down and threatens to delete your files unless you pay the hacker responsible a ransom. It can also come in handy if your computer or mobile device gets infected with any kind of nasty malware that your protection program can't get rid of, as it can make it much easier for you to completely wipe your computer's memory and rebuild your system. How often you back up your data is up to you, but you should aim to update your backups at least once a month, and if you often work with important files, you may want to back up as often as once a week.
As with the other security tools we've covered, you have some options to choose from with different advantages and disadvantages. External hard drives, the classic data backup solution, have an up-front cost, take up physical space and require you to plug them into your device to manually perform the backup. However, they give you complete control over your data, have fast transfer speeds and once you buy an external hard drive, you own it outright, so there are no additional costs. Cloud storage services, which are companies like IDrive and Carbonite that use the Internet to back up your data to encrypted servers that they protect, have the opposite perks and problems. They typically charge you a monthly fee to store your data, your transfer speeds depend on how good your Internet service is, and your data is stored on their servers, which gives you less control over it. To make up for that, you can set them to perform backups automatically on a schedule, and you don't have to worry about buying any hardware.
If you have specialized needs you can supplement your cybersecurity with additional security tools such as VPNs and DDoS protection, but these four solutions are good to get you started. To learn more about protecting yourself from digital threats, follow our technology blog, and stay tuned for more in our Cybersecurity Awareness series as we celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

Supermarket tomatoes could get back their long lost tanginess which had been missing in the commercially cultivated fruit for the past five decades. Researches at University of Florida claims to have found out five genetic traits that have been missing since the mass production of tomatoes that happened in 1960's. The genetic traits that add sweet-yet-acidic taste were mostly missing in the fruit one gets to buy in the supermarkets. They assert this to be a natural breeding method rather than genetic modification.
Harry Klee, horticultural scientist and co-author of a study in University of Florida's journal Science said: "We know what's wrong with modern tomatoes and we have a pretty good idea how to fix it. Nobody deliberately set out to make tomatoes that don't have flavor. Basically it was a process of neglect."
Even as the produce of tomatoes tripled since 1960, the taste and quality has suffered a lot. Mass production focuses on size and sturdiness and provides inattention to flavor. Klee expressed hope in bringing back the lost flavors through the current findings. If the major seed producers are willing to adopt the new technology, one could buy the flavorful sweet and sour tomatoes in supermarkets within three years, the research says.
Research also found that tomatoes lost 13 genes that enhanced its flavor during the last century. The bigger the tomatoes get, the lesser they taste. Klee added: "Modern commercial tomatoes do not have the flavour of older varieties. Our results provide a roadmap for improvement."
Many supermarkets were accused of "mishandling" tomatoes at its stores through putting them at refrigerator temperatures, which would damage its flavor even more. Phil Morley, a technical officer for the British Tomato Growers Association said that supermarkets need not have to refrigerate tomatoes, but many stores were still unaware of this. He said: "Good retailers like M&S and Waitrose understand this, but many of the others don't always get it."

New photos from the set of Shazam! offer an up-close look at Mark Strong's Dr. Sivana and Jack Dylan Grazer's Freddy Freeman.
The images show close-ups of the two characters on set. Freddy wears a Superman t-shirt, while Sivana wears a black jacket with fur trim and boasts a nasty scar over his eye, much like his comic book counterpart. Although the location of the Freddy scene is unknown, it seems likely that the image of Strong comes from a scene caught on video that appeared online earlier this month.

Dr. Thaddeus Bodog Sivana first appeared in Bill Parker and C.C. Beck's Whiz Comics #2, which released in 1940. Dr. Sivana is a mad scientist who relies on his intellect and inventions, and his skills as a master manipulator, to battle his archenemy Shazam (née Captain Marvel). The aforementioned set video seemed to hint that he may have superhuman abilities in the movie, though it's also possible that he's equipped with an invention that enables him to go toe-to-toe with Shazam.
Arriving in theaters on April 5, 2019, Shazam! stars Zachary Levi as Shazam, Asher Angel as Billy Batson, Mark Strong as Doctor Sivana, Grace Fulton as Mary Bromfield, Jack Dylan Grazer as Freddy Freeman, Ian Chen as Eugene Choi, Jovan Armand as Pedro Pena, Ron Cephas Jones as the Wizard and Cooper Andrews and Marta Milans as foster parents Victor and Rosa Vasquez.

Do you ever feel like your running around in circles?
Well I was this morning. By choice. Around a soccer field.
I haven't ran in a long time. AGES, in fact. But this morning I decided I was going to run with my hubby! Surely not as far as he was going (he's training for a half marathon in December), but I wanted to see what I could do. I hike with him sometimes, and I also do my "100 things" every week day (pushups, squats, lunges, dips); so I knew I wasn't in that bad of shape. I also have these super cool running shoes, which I love and haven't worn in a while:
So, we walked the ¾ mile down hill to a soccer field that is behind a little pulperia (a small convenience store). Why? Because it's the ONLY flat place to run around here. I was not attempting my first run going uphill (or downhill for that matter!).
It was a gorgeous morning! Well it was also early (6 am to be exact) – so it was cool out, the sun was just rising, and it was very quiet (no motorcycles revving or dogs barking)… Look at this beautiful soccer field:
So we started running (slowly – for my benefit)… and it was a really nice run! We saw a MotMot at one point – beautiful, gorgeous bird with a long tail, and also parrots flying by and squawking LOUDLY. We took a 1-minutes walk break every 2 laps (about every 4.5 minutes of running) so that helped me tremendously. The soccer field was nice and cushy (no pavement pounding). And I ended up running TWO MILES – which is HUGE for me! It felt good! I want to do more next time!
Greg went on to run 2 additional miles, while I walked and snapped pictures and waited patiently for him…
What a great start to my day! Cheers everyone! — Jen

Nope, not a chance, forget it!
That is the response from the Prime Minister to calls from provincial and territorial leaders to attend a first ministers meeting on the economy in November.
Premiers at the Council of the Federation meetings in Halifax last week said they need to sit down with Harper to get a better sense of Canada's position in turbulent economic times. It appears that joining together to request a meeting with the leader of the national government was a wasted effort!
In his defense, the PMO says the boss has endured 74 individual meetings with the leaders of the provinces/territories since 2010.
A rationale for not meeting with the leaders as a group stumps me but when it comes to economic issues, Canadians appear to trust the Prime Minister. A recent poll showed that 56 per cent of Canadians approve of the Conservative
government's management of the economy. That is 10 per cent more than approve of Harper as Prime Minister!
While only 47 per cent of Canadians
approve of Stephen Harper, 56 per cent approve of the Conservative
government's management of the economy. That is not a number to sneeze at! They appear to have swallowed the Conservative spin that their leadership led Canada to emerge from the global recession relatively well-off.
Taylor Scallon, a communications strategist with Counsel Public Affairs, refutes the Conservative mantra with a little fact check in a column found at iPolitics today. Like many Liberals, Scallon says the party has surrendered the issue of the economy to Conservatives, allowing the spin to go unchallenged. It is an informative article.
For critics in this province who question Premier Dunderdale's ability
to get face time with Stephen Harper, it shows that she is not alone.
The Prime Minister appears to have a healthy disdain for regional and
provincial matters.
It is a clear signal that this era of unilateralism

- Just a couple from tonights very enjoyable night photoshoot at RAF Northolt, courtesy of Phil, all the volunteers, OC 32 Sqn and the station commander. It was good to bump into the usual bunch of reprobates, too many to name but you know who you are, most of the time...
I'll add some more later, these are just quick edits of two that jumped out at me!
Cheers Phil for all the organising.

I really like taking pictures in Photo Booth style at a wedding – BUT I still take the picture myself, ha! Maybe I should get a hat with a big photo booth sign or so :) I prefer using standard lenses to wide lenses so everyone on the picture looks how they really look. I tried it out a while ago just for fun to see how it would turn out and I think it's a blast! You get these cool flashy pictures and it doesn't really matter that everyone is already a bit sweaty looking after hundreds of dance moves. It just shows afterwards that people had maximum fun.
I just use an external flash and a softbox which makes me quite flexible and I don't need a lot of room. I'm thinking about getting a colourful backdrop but then it also depends what you prefer! If you think I might be the right photographer for your big day, or if you'd just like to find out more, please get in touch with me!

Suicide not uncommon in dangerous jobs
Even "heroes" have problems.
While the announcement that Officer Matthew Morelli may have died by his own hand comes as a surprise to many people, criminologists say that police officers are exposed to such heightened levels of stress that it could lead to inner conflict and turmoil.
"Police work is often considered a physically dangerous job, but what's often overlooked is that it is an emotionally dangerous job," said Jim McCabe, an assistant professor of criminology at Sacred Heart University and a retired New York City police officer.
While no one can definitively answer why any police officer would commit suicide, the emotional and physical stress of law enforcement may cause "chronic, prolonged depression," according McCabe.
"From an individual standpoint, when you're the one who's being called for in emergencies and you're the hero, so to speak," said McCabe, "to admit that you're having problems or to admit you are succumbing to the stress is something that is very difficult to overcome."
Different elements of police work, such as regulated procedures and the pace of the job, may contribute to emotional stress, said McCabe. While most officers deal with the stress of their job in healthy and productive ways, McCabe said, the stress causes others to react in a manner "contrary to what normal, well-adjusted human beings would do."
McCabe said the typical day of an officer can be characterized as "boredom punctuated by terror." Though there are large amounts of down time and routine calls, officers are constantly cognizant of their job's dangerous elements, McCabe said.
"You could be sitting there one day, driving down the road and, the next thing you know, it's a life or death situation," he said.
The role of the hero also adds to the stress of law enforcement, as officers must help others and asking for help sometimes seems out of the question, McCabe said.
Instead of feeling like an individual, a sense of being part of a social machine can develop over time within police officers due to the nature of their service, McCabe said. This feeling is punctuated by a perceived lack of individual recognition from the public and other officers, McCabe said.
"You're dealing with people's problems all the time," he said. "Nobody calls the police to say, 'Hey, how are you doing, officer? Thanks for keeping us safe.'"
Due to the strenuous nature of their job, officers often rely on each other for emotional support, McCabe said. The camaraderie may cause officers to become suspicious and distrustful of people outside of the police force.
Turbulence at work often leaks over into an officer's home life, McCabe said. The family could be supporting to an officer, but officers sometimes withdraw from their family and strain the relationship, according to McCabe.
"The family could be a source of support but could also be a source of added stress," he said.
Suicide is not a unique phenomenon with police officers, and it is hard to grasp exactly what aspects of the job lead to this action, McCabe said.
"It's hard to pinpoint one element or one thing," he said. "Even sometimes notes are misleading. A note doesn't necessarily give the full details as to why the person did what they did."
Former Republican Council-woman Joanne T. Romano, whose father was a Norwalk police officer, strongly supports counseling for the officers. Romano said she personally witnessed the toll of law enforcement-related stress on her father.
Counseling is offered at almost every police department, and it is often suggested for officers who have experienced a traumatic situation, McCabe said.
Norwalk currently uses the Public Safety Employee Assistance Program for the city's police and fire departments for its counseling.
Under the program, Norwalk's 171 police officers and 141 firefighters are able to call the program hotline at any hour of the day and speak immediately with a trained counselor, and even meet with the counselor if necessary.
Police Chief Harry Rilling said on Tuesday that officers are reminded daily at roll call of the services that are available to them.
"We always find ourselves looking back and saying what could we do differently. We do have Public Safety EAP. They provide counseling services, our supervisors receive training, our officers are spoken to at roll call," Rilling said. "We do a lot. Could we do more? We'll have to see."

Q: Our son is renting a condo in an area where it gets very hot in the summer. Two weeks ago, he came home from work to find that his air conditioning unit was not working. It was after hours on Friday evening and he tried to reach the property management agency to have them check it out, but no one was in so he left a voicemail message on their answering machine. They have no emergency number and the office is open only Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The temperature reached nearly 110 degrees that Saturday and Sunday.
My son was inconvenienced — he couldn't stay in the rental unit because the heat was unbearable. We watched his dogs for him and he spent the weekend at a friend's house and went to work from his friend's house. He was able to reach the property management office on Monday and they came right out to fix the air conditioning unit that same day.

It's been a bittersweet weekend with the 11th anniversary passing of Don.
It seems like yesterday I drove Don to attend
religious services not long after the passing of mother (Pauline). Don was
already in the throes of his cancer treatments, yet he was
able to hobble down the isle and sit with me as we prayed for Mom and
sister Joan, who had passed two years earlier.
I remember Don having a really good spirit that night, as he did most of the time,
even despite his serious illness. Despite grieving for our family members
there was the strong hope in both of us that Don could beat his illness and that positive attitude would give him more time that most. I remember that night, again, like yesterday,
hoping beyond hope that Don could beat the odds; if anyone could he could.
The other thing I remember especially well during the time when Don was going
through his illness and treatments was that he continued to put others ahead of
his own problems. Every time I would talk to him he wanted to know how
Pucky was doing. Pucky was Joan's dog for whom I took over guardianship after
Joan passed in 1999. Pucky, a chihuahua-fox, had that same indomitable spirit like Don
and was going through her own tough times with kidney failure
Sadly, she would pass this same week as Don,11 years ago, after her own long struggle.
It was certainly a double blow to lose both Don and Pucky at the same time , while
Dad was beginning to experience his own medical problems; it was certainly no easy feat
for Dad, who had been looking after Don, daily, the past years, after losing his wife
and daughter. Words don't come to describe the empty pit-in -your-stomach feeling losing your closest people/pets (I had lost Joan's older dog, Roscoe, just two years earlier,
not long after four cats in their infancies).
I learned a lot from both Don and Pucky, and TRY to live by the qualities they
showed me, especially in their later years as I got to know them better.
I still miss them a lot, and always will.
While Pucky had a full life, for a dog (18 years) I always feel especially bad
for Don, who spent so much of his time caring for others in his short-lived medical profession as well as being a dedicated father and friend of many-some of whom may not always have been there for him, especiailly when he was in need . Don did live longer with
his cancer than the great majority of people with his kind of cancer. I just hope he got more than a little back in his shortened life; for sure two great kids that will
perpetuate his legacy. We know he was appreciated by many, including his co-workers at Kaiser Hospital who awarded him Doctor of the Year. Dad and I went to accept that award in Don's posthumous honor. As they say, Don was 'chip off the old block,' much
revered by his patients as was Dad. If Don had any enemies I never heard of any.
but lots and lots of admirers.
I like to recall certain memories and 'living thoughts' of Don (and others no longer with us) that inspire if not daily then at least once or twice a year on these notable days. And, I always enjoy hearing stories about Don and my other family members which keeps them 'alive;' I cherish my brother Don, Pucky along with all my family members; just because they may not be so-called 'active' participants in society today they remain very 'active' in my hearts and thought processes, and , hopefully, some of yours'.
Thanks for caring and sharing,
With Love,
Burt K.

EUGENE, Ore. – With the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) expiring this year, some are wondering if it's a good option to refinance their homes.
KEZI 9 News spoke with Oregon Pacific Bank President and CEO Ron Green to learn more.
What is HARP and does it make sense for me?
HARP was a government lending program started by the federal government during the recession. Many lost 30 or 40 percent of their home values, preventing them from doing a traditional refinance when interest rates declined. A lower interest rate means lower payment.
The HARP program exists right now, and the question is very timely, Ron Green said. It's set to expire Dec. 31, so Green recommended checking into it.
The good thing is that in the last several years, the economy and property values have recovered nicely. You might not need the HARP program any longer.
But Green said to ask your favorite mortgage lender or broker in town about whether you should look at the HARP or traditional refinance. Green said they'll set you straight and help you out.

When he talks about you, no longer come out from the swarms. It is a pretty clear thing: Ivanka is Donald trump's favorite child. To your come, neither his older sons Donald Jr. and Eric, his youngest son, Barron over. And certainly not Tiffany Trump, the daughter he got with his former affair with Marla Maples.
President of the adviser
her father had attacked Clinton sharp: Ivanka Trump took advantage of the private account service
DPA Donald Trump raves about daughter Ivanka
When it comes to the US President, could hold the 37-year-old Ivanka even eventually the highest office in the country – namely, his -. This is from an Interview that has led Trump with the U.S. magazine "The Atlantic". "If she wanted to ever run for President, she would be hit very, very hard," he says. "It has created millions of Jobs, and I never would have guessed how successful they would be," he boasts. That you "have to allow millions of Jobs," The Atlantic "" however, directly.
For Donald Trump are such Details but, apparently, beside the point. Ivanka may, in his eyes anyway, nothing wrong. "She is a born diplomat. You would be great at the United Nations," he says. He had not proposed, however, for the Post, because he might then nepotism would be accused of. His daughter, the Trump in official Meetings, sometimes called "Baby", was also "very good with Numbers". A Job as world Bank Boss would have been in his eyes. In the past, it was assumed that Trump didn't want to nominate his daughter for the Post. Now he has confirmed the rumors. "I have seen you under considerable pressure. It responds very well – it's usually genetically predisposed to it," he boasts.
world Bank Job, is not in his Hand
in fact, the U.S. President decides on the management of the world Bank. However, he may make a recommendation to be considered by the Board of Directors. At the beginning of April, David Malpass has been elected unanimously to the world Bank chief. He is close to the President, had advised during the election campaign, trump's Team.
In the past, Trump has not been accused again and again, to hold Items with his children, even though they were qualified enough.

The HorrorPack Subscription
This month's HorrorPack was full of great flicks that were all new to my collection! The March HorrorPack featured Silent House, The Rite, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Psycho Killer. I am definitely going to renew my subscription after I get my last one in April. You can check out February's HorrorPack review here. Spoiler alert: Do not go any further if you subscribe to the HorrorPack and have not received or watched your movies!
I added stars next to the film titles this time. I am using five stars for perfection and one for wish I didn't waste my time. As always, feel free to comment and let everyone know what you thought of the movies, the ratings, or both!
Silent House **
Silent House wasn't the worst movie I have ever seen, but it wasn't even close to the best. The idea was very cliche in my opinion, finishing off with an average ending. The idea of a young woman suppressing her childhood nightmares only to remember them years later. But she doesn't remember them, at first. She loses her mind thinking that someone else is in the house with her for way too long. If the movie was shorter or if there was more action, it would have been much better. To me, it just lasted too long for the amount of time spent on story line and scares.
The Rite ****
I remembered seeing The Rite but didn't remember the details or the ending. I love a good possession movie and this is just that! The Rite was full of twists and turns and a good amount of jump scares. This was one of the most fun movies to watch from this month's HorrorPack. I especially enjoyed that the priest was possessed. I haven't noticed much of that in possession movies and that is what separates The Rite from other movies in the genre.
Bram Stoker's Dracula ****
I had actually never seen this before getting it from HorrorPack! As soon as I opened the box, I was excited to finally get the chance. The film itself was different than I had expected, I guess since my vampire knowledge stems from 30 Days of Night and The Lost Boys (which will be available to stream next month). Bram Stoker's Dracula reminded me of Romeo and Juliet! Dracula is stricken with grief after arriving home to a dead wife. Short version: he finds her lifetimes later reincarnated as Mina. After Mina remembers him, she wants nothing more than to be what he is and live as he lives. Full of action and adventure, this is one of those all around good films with a little something for every taste.
P.S. It really confused me that Dracula was a wolf throughout the movie. I was waiting for Dracula's nemesis to come out at any time until I found out that he was the werewolf.
Psycho Killer ***
Psycho Killer surprised me. The film art was good but I had never seen or even heard of it. I was expecting some weird, off the wall movie with questionable filming. Thank goodness, I was wrong! I wouldn't say it is the greatest movie or my favorite, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The beginning was a little rough and implied that the movie was going to focus on perverts and be written in bad taste (last month's HorrorPack included one like this). The film follows Ella as she realized that she has urges to kill. Thinking they are sexual, she visits a strip club and finds her first victim. The killing continues until she is arrested with seventeen kills under her belt. The acting was pretty good and the filming wasn't terrible. She even gets out of jail, in the end, and leaves with her boyfriend to go find her father.
FYE & Vintage Stock Movie Haul
This month I had two very good movie hauls! I ordered some movies right before I left on vacation and came home to a box full of horror. I also visited a store called Vintage Stock and bought a mystery bag. The bag guaranteed 25+ movies and I went for it.
My FYE movie haul finished a few collections for me. I already had Insidious and completed that with the second and third additions. War for the Planet of the Apes is the newest movie it the series and was the only one I was missing. As I mentioned in Monday's post about new horror streaming releases, I was missing the newest Nightmare on Elm Street. With that collection finished, I can now work on a review post for the entire collection. The silence of the Lambs is one of my favorites, but I had not seen any of the other Hannibal films. I now have all four of them and may do a review on those, as well. After finding out that Split was a continuation of Unbreakable, it was added to my list of movies to get. Lastly, Trick 'r Treat, because every horror and Halloween obsessed person should have a copy of this!
The mystery bag from Vintage Stock was different and exciting. If you can't tell by all of my monthly subscription boxes, I like a good surprise. The bag included all kinds of movies, mostly action like Casino Royale and Sniper (one and two). The gems in the bag were The Bone Collector, Breathing Room, Captivity, Club Dread, and Dark Fields.

Kendall Jenner may have just started a new fall trend. No, really: She posted a shot of a super cropped top on Snapchat with the caption "under boob is my thing". Boom.
Kendall has certainly been a supporter of the free the nipple initiative, wearing tops with down-to-there necklines, sheer bodysuits, and barely-there tops. Leave it to Kenny to figure out how to take the trend into fall, though. While she covers up with a ribbed knit, long-sleeved, sweater, her abbreviated top is still flirty in a more subtle way. Be warned, though: raise your hands too high and you've definitely got a wardrobe malfunction on your hands.
She paired the undersized crop top with a pair of high-waisted jeans and her signature choker look. While this super revealing crop top is head-turning, to be sure, Kendall balances out the skin-baring style with more casual shapes and materials with the rest of her look. Between Kendall's striped top and Gigi Hadid's lace-up sweater, it seems to be the week of bearing it all. Kylie and Bella: you're up next.

This is a quick post to point out a recent research study conducted by Dr. Reed Ferber of the University of Calgary and The Running Injury Clinic.
The research indicates that hip strengthening exercises are better than stretching to help fight IT-band syndrome.
Alex Hutchinson's article in The Globe and Mail breaks the study down nicely: Strengthening beats stretching when it comes to this common running injury

Bad Words
Jason Bateman takes his trademark 'I'm the smartest guy in the room' smug attitude to a new level when he sets out to win a national spelling bee tournament intended for those who haven't yet graduated from eighth grade. The thing is, despite being somewhat of a genius, he never actually graduated past the eighth grade, so technically, much to the dismay of parents, teachers, and the tournament staff, they have to allow him to compete.
'Bad Words' could fairly be compared to 'Billy Madison', where Adam Sandler goes back to grade school to pass each grade in two weeks, yet it isn't nearly as silly, slapsticky, or funny for that matter. It's more of a dry comedy, much like you expect from Bateman's wit. But it certainly does deliver plenty of the bad words promised in the title. Bateman is filled with bitterness, for reasons kept unknown, and spews profanity and racial epithets without hesitation and with total disregard to his audience. He's a man focused on his mission, and the mystery of his rationale behind it was, for me, what elevates this from being a so-so dark comedy to an interesting movie. The occasional laughs and the charming camaraderie between Bateman and a young Indian competitor are enough to make it a fun viewing, but any movie where I can't deduce the final reveal in the first five minutes is even more worth my time.
Grade: B+
Who is this movie for? Bateman fans and those that enjoy a good festival-type dramedy with a whole lot of bad words and racial slurs. Pair it with 'About Last Night' for a double feature of comedies not to take grandma to.

Wonderful screening the other day thanks to the ArtReach Foundation in Atlanta whose founder and head, Susan Anderson, organized a small gathering of people intensely committed to the well being of servicemen and women, veterans and military families. I had first gotten to know ArtReach a couple of years ago when I attended one of its workshops in which veterans and civilians explored the journey home through movement, art, and writing — and the sheer joy of play. It was pretty powerful stuff.
It was great to see the kind familiar face of George Wieder and the dynamic Christi O'Hare, who heads ArtReach's Project America for veterans. Between them and Susan Anderson, this would have been enough to guarantee a good conversation — but add to the mix…
two doctors from Georgia Tech Research Institute (one of whom is also a vet) who will be researching the impact of ArtReach's work;
Peter McCall, founder of Care For The Troops, which is an amazing resource;
Catherine McCall, a family and marriage therapist who is very active in helping prevent and heal child abuse;
Chaplains with the Georgia Army National Guard also came, including its head chaplain, Air Force Lt Col Elizabeth A. Harris-Lamkin, who had some very interesting things to say about mentoring young chaplains — pastors in their own communities one day and, the next, they are deployed to Afghanistan where troops in their care come from across the spectrum of faith and non-faith and all face life and death situations
…and what you get is an intense and honest conversation that delved into the challenges chaplains face, how different people believed they should act, the role (positive and negative) of outside critics and observers, the need to understand the realities on the ground, the First Amendment duties and constraints on chaplains, the difficulties of legislating 'good behavior,' the enormous need of troops and families, wounded warriors and suicides, the role church congregations can play in helping military families,…
Thank you all for taking the time to watch the film and discuss it and the issues it raises with such insight and compassion.
