Men have "Movember," where they grow out their facial hair to raise money and awareness for men's health issues, and now ladies have "Januhairy," a reason to skip shaving and grow their body hair with pride.
Laura Jackson, a 22-year-old drama student at the University of Exeter in the U.K., started the movement after growing her own body hair for a performance and noticing her own reaction to it. "After a few weeks of getting used to it, I started to like my natural hair," she posted to an Instagram account created for the campaign. "Though I felt liberated and more confident in myself, some people around me didn't understand why I didn't shave/didn't agree with it."
Januhairy encourages women to let the hair on their bodies grow in support of a charity, Body Gossip, which empowers people to be the best version of themselves through arts and education. On her crowdfunding site, Jackson has a goal of 1,000 pounds (or more than $1,200) through sponsorships supporting women who grow their body hair.
Stuff We Love
"Society seems to be behaving as if the natural hair we grow on our bodies is unattractive and distasteful. We are so used to removing our body hair that we are becoming unfamiliar with our authentic selves," she wrote.
"Media and films have an influence on young women and how they feel they should be," Jackson told TODAY Style by email, explaining that Disney princesses and other portrayals of women had an effect on her self-esteem growing up.
On social media, the Januhairy campaign stirred a bit of debate. While there were plenty of supportive posts, there were also a fair share of negative commenters.
"It's important that we see these (negative) comments, because it reminds us why we are doing this campaign and what opinions we are trying to change," Jackson told TODAY Style. "These people don't understand this yet and that's OK ... that's what the campaign is for. At least we are all talking about it!"
It seems as though Julia Roberts was way ahead of the curve on this one. The movie star caused a commotion when she arrived at the premiere of "Notting Hill" with underarm hair in 1999. She recently dished on "Busy Tonight," however, that it was really an accident, as she'd misjudged the length of her sleeves and how much they would show of her armpits.
Gigi Hadid appeared to sport some underarm "fuzz" more recently in a Love Magazine advent calendar video, though it's possible it was just fabric from a jacket she'd been wearing. And women's shaving company Billie made history by running ads featuring women with body hair.
We may just have a trend on our hands!
The ultimate goal of Januhairy, according to Jackson? "This project will hopefully allow us to understand more about ourselves and from that understand each other more!" she said.

Maykr.com, in cooperation with bau, is initiating the Beacon Art Postcard Archive.
The printing of postcards has long since become de rigeur in the process of putting together an exhibition, and in away represents a very simple form of self publishing. Taken as a whole, over a period of time these artifacts, which tend to linger in disheveled collections on coffee shop and gallery windowsills well beyond the exhibition dates, create a physical record of the temporal flow of creative activity in a community. The intent of the Art Postcard Archive is to gather these promotional pieces together and create an historical record of the artistic activities in Beacon and Surrounding Areas. The parameters of the archive are a bit fuzzy right now, allowing for flexibility. Essentially, the collection will focus on all art exhibitions and events that have taken place in Beacon, and in the immediate area as well as exhibitions and events in areas further afield that include local artists, and those involved in the creative community in and around Beacon, NY. In addition to postcards, the archive will accept small flyers or similar material.
If you have operated a gallery in Beacon, if you are an artist living, working, showing art in and around Beacon with postcards promoting shows you've had here and elsewhere concurrent to your connection to Beacon, we'd appreciate the donation of a single copy for the archive. The archive will take the form of a box that will initially be housed at the Beacon Artist Union at 161 Main St. with postcards arranged chronologically. We intend the archive to remain an open source record, that, eventually, will be donated to the Beacon Historical Society. Adding current material to the archive is obviously easier than gathering older materials so we are interested in collecting any postcards from previous years and would appreciate any assistance in gathering material from past exhibits. If you'd like more information or if you have questions, contact me at info(at)maykr.com.
If you have postcards to add to the archive, feel free to drop them off at bau, or contact me directly. Also, if you have any questions or would like more information shoot me an email.

Here is a map of every restaurant patio in Vancouver
The city of Vancouver, obviously wanting its citizens to get outside and soak in some sunshine, has released an interactive map of every large restaurant patio in the city.
"Summer is in full swing and now is the time to get outside and discover a new patio or to visit an old favourite," said Mayor Gregor Robertson. "There's no shortage of excellent food and music to enjoy here in Vancouver and I'm happy to see that establishments that have strong neighbourhood track records are now able to stay open later."
The map lists 242 permitted large patios in Vancouver. Restaurants that have existing sidewalk patios can apply for extended operating hours — until 1 a.m. — between April 1 and Oct 31.
If you need some patio suggestions, OpenTable, an online reservation site, included eight Vancouver restaurants in its 100 Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Canada 2018 list.
OpenTable says Vancouver's best patio dining experiences can be found at CinCin Ristorante + Bar, Edible Canada at the Market, Fayuca, The Yaletown Keg, Provence Marinaside, Robba da Matti, Seasons in the Park, and the Teahouse Restaurant.
Let us know which one is your favourite in the comments below.

Pretty much everyone is into taking selfies now. You can even catch grandparents getting in on the trend. That doesn't stop just because you have kids, and some moms will show you they're still bringing their A-game, even weeks after giving birth.
There are some beautiful moms out there, with beautiful children. That alone can make you internet-famous nowadays, no skills needed. When you look as good as these ladies do, everyone wants to get a little look into your life, whether it's to hate on you, or to admire your beuaty from afar.
While there are thousands of gorgeous ladies out there who have their selfie-taking game down on lock, there are just as many people who don't know what they're doing. Some are hashtag blessed, and others are hashtag a hot mess. Why on earth anyone would take a selfie with their kid on the toilet in the background is beyond me. And asking your son to take your sexy, intimate photos is just not appropriate.
Let's take a look at 10 perfect mom selfies, and 5 that need to be deleted from history. Warning: You may need to scroll back up after reading the end, just as a palate cleanser. Taking a look at some gorgeous mom selfies will surely leave you in a better mood. Unless you're feeling bad about yourself, in which case, yeah, the moms at the end might be the confidence boost you need to remember that it could always be worse.
15 Natural Beauties
How gorgeous are these two? The mom isn't doing anything provocative, and she's not showing too much (or really, any) skin. This picture leads me to believe that she's teaching her daughter to value herself, which seems to be a foreign concept to some. They're just so naturally beautiful, and my nosy side is wondering what the dad looks like. He must be pretty dang good looking, unless their daughter took after her mom only.
I wish I looked half as good as this beautiful mama. It's no wonder she doesn't feel the need to go showing her goods off to everyone, with a face like that! Her daughter has breathtaking eyes, and I'd be willing to bet her parents are going to have to keep an eye on her when she's in her teen years.
14 14 Days Postpartum
Chontel Duncan is a fitness guru and model that gave birth in March of 2017. She posted the picture on the left to her Instagram account, and people were quick to jump down her throat about the baby's neck. While some people defended her, most were concerned about the baby's ability to hold his own head.
She reposted the picture, explaining that her son had lifted his head in the first photo, and laid it back down on her chest immediately after. What do you think? I think people were being a bit harsh, personally. Babies are stronger than most people know, and I trust this mama's judgment. The point of the photo was to show how great she looked only 14 days after giving birth! It's possible that people were being a little jelly.
13 The Drotini Twins
The Drotini twins are extremely famous on Instagram, and it's easy to see why. These two girls are absolutely beautiful, and their mom is no exception. They post pictures on the internet all the time, and each one is cuter than the last. Brooke, the girls' mom, was pretty 'Insta-famous' before the girls were born, and now the number of followers she has is just insane! She dresses the girls up in the same outfits. I mean, come on, there's not much cuter than little girls with pretty eyes in matching outfits.
If I looked like that, I would post selfies with my son all the time too. As it stands, I'm makeup-less and in pajamas the majority of the time, and the look just doesn't do me any favors. Props to this mama for looking so darn good all the time, and for making such angelic little babies!
12 Model Mama
Fitness guru, Tammy Hembrow shows her amazing transformation from super pregnant, to ripped in just 6 months! She posted this picture to her Instagram page, and people were stunned. I mean, really! That right there shows a tremendous amount of dedication and hard work. Like most famous beauties, haters have commented rude things on her pictures, but I have a feeling that they're just jealous that she was able to bounce back from her pregnancy so quickly. This is not the norm for new moms, but she's a fitness guru, I mean, what do you expect? It's her job to look good, and to inspire others to get healthy and happy. Of course she shed the weight off fast! Instead of being bitter, we should all take a look at just what exactly this mama does to look so good.
11 Those Eyes!
These girls eyes are stunning! Dark eyes really don't get the credit they deserve, but this picture might make blue-eye lovers rethink things. And the mama's hair is perfection!
This picture can be found in articles all over the internet, featuring adorable mom and baby selfies, but I'm not sure who these lovely ladies are. They certainly have found fame from their beauty, and they deserve every bit of it. They have such kind eyes, and like most of the cute girls in this list, I'm sure this mama is going to have a hard time with her daughter once puberty hits. If she looks half as beautiful as her mom does (which it's evident she'll be every bit as gorgeous), she's going to have boys wooing her, left and right. She better get ready to break some hearts.
10 Instagram Mom & Baby Selfie Award Goes To...
Surely you've seen this cute mom and baby duo on the internet recently. Michelle Nhu's Instagram account has blown up since she started posting these adorable selfies with her daughter. Usually, the photos feature matching outfits, and I just can't handle the cuteness! Seriously! What cold-hearted person can look at this photo without at least hearing a little 'awww' in the back of their minds. Though it looks a little edited to me, they're both so pretty, it's not even necessary.
Can we talk about how she's able to get her baby to sit still long enough to snap perfect selfies? Around this age, my son turned into a nut-bag, and taking cute pictures together was just not a thing. Her daughter seems so calm and sweet! This mama really is blessed, from her looks, to her sweet daughter.
9 Before And After
Tammy Hembrow is back at it again! If you can believe it, this was her before and after shot for her second child. Still not shocked? The picture on the right was taken six weeks after she gave birth to her second baby. Yeah. Are you feeling as bad about yourself as I am right now? It's okay, just don't take to dissing her online like many others have. With success comes haters, and this mom is not unfamiliar with rude comments and talk of photoshop.
I'm not buying into what the commenters are claiming. I think she bounces back after pregnancy beautifully because she puts in a whole heck of a lot of work before, during, and immediately after giving birth. It's easy to make excuses for living an inactive lifestyle, especially while you're adjusting to a big life change, like having a new family member. But this mom is dedicated to having a nice figure, so she makes it happen. My priorities were way different after I had my son, and even a year later, I don't look anywhere near as good as Tammy. But I certainly am not going to assume that this can't be done.
8 Which One Is The Mom?
Do you remember this photo? It blew up in the Spring of 2016. Kaylan Mahomes tweeted this car selfie, with the caption, 'Mom, Twin, & Me.' Umm, but which one is your mom? Seriously, tell us, because we can't tell.
The photo was retweeted over 33 thousand times and was covered by major news outlets, much to the family's surprise. It was meant to just be a casual selfie, and it brought on fame! The girls even made an Instagram account named "momtwinandme", where they turned it into a guessing game. Eventually, they came out and revealed that mom is the lady on the far left, with the black blazer on. She is drop-dead gorgeous, and it's truly amazing that she hasn't aged at all. You rock, mama! I bet her daughters are going to age gracefully, too!
7 Selfie With Obama
How cool is this!? Jolene Jackinsky was waiting for her flight at the Anchorage International Airport in Alaska, when she saw a man who looked like Obama in the waiting area. Turns out she was right, and he sat and talked with her while they waited for their flights, even holding her baby and telling her how cute she is. Former President Obama was returning home after a family trip to Indonesia, so she really lucked out!
Obama even joked with Jolene's husband when he walked up, saying "I'm taking your baby." Can you blame him? She's precious! I think I would die if Obama held my son. What a cool experience. I'm sure it's one she'll remember for the rest of her life, and it will be a story to tell her future grandkids.
6 Workout Buddies
This mom is an inspiration! She lost 60 pounds after having her daughter, by working out with her every day! That completely eliminates the stress of finding a babysitter to watch your kids while you stay in shape. And her daughter is learning some important life lessons in the process. I bet she'll be healthy throughout her life because of her mom's dedication, and it's beautiful!
In an interview, this Georgian mom, Danielle Jones, says her daughter helped her lose the pounds she packed on during pregnancy by working out with her and even doing the moves with her. Apparently, 2-year-old Honor can do it all - push-ups, sit-ups, you name it! What a little cutie! In the process, Danielle has dropped 2 dress sizes and is happier than ever. What a beautiful duo! I can't think of a better workout partner.
5 Just...What?
There's nothing wrong with taking some sexy pics to send to your man. However, I tend to draw the line when you include your kid in the process.
She looks good, I'll give her that. But she's teaching her daughter some strange things at a young age. Things that she shouldn't even know about for at least several more years. I hope this mom is ready to handle her daughter sending pictures like this to boys. Maybe she'll even ask her mom to help her take them.
She needs to get her selfie game down, so she can send these pictures in private and let her daughter watch cartoons or play outside with all the other kids. I honestly feel bad for this girl. When people ask her what she did over the weekend, does she tell anyone? It wouldn't be good if any of her teachers caught wind of what she and her mom do as a bonding activity.
4 The Cigarette Is The Cherry On Top
I guess this one isn't technically a selfie because someone else is taking the picture. But it's close enough, and it needs to be deleted from history. Even if she was just trying to be funny (which I'm not convinced was her intention), her kid is looking right at her, soaking it all in. Yeah little Jimmy, that's not what women should be doing. Please don't expect girls in the future to pose like this for pictures.
To make matters worse, she's holding a lit cigarette in her hand. In front of her son. In the house. While she poses provocatively. I can only imagine what that poor baby is smelling 24/7. I hope she quit, at least in the house, but it doesn't seem like she's the type to care enough to do that. What was going through this mama's head? By the looks of things, not much. Ever.
3 Photoshop Fail
Oh, girl... You are not fooling anyone. I can't even be mad at this one, it's sad and funny at the same time. It's sad because this is the reality of hating your after-baby bod. But, I can't lie, it's also pretty dang funny. I mean, come on. That doesn't look natural at all. No one's waist is that small when they have shoulders that broad. The whole thing just looks completely off. Even the baby is looking at her in the mirror, like 'mom, just no.'
I wonder where she posted this, and what the response was. I honestly don't know what I would say if my bestie posted a picture like this. You can't support her making such dumb decisions, but you can't be mean about it either. It's a very thin line. Kind of like her waist in this picture.
2 Let The Poor Guy Go In Peace
Oh God, why? First of, what is up with her shirt/bra situation? She should wear a cardigan for sure. Or, really, she should just burn that top and put something else on. I have no problem with piercings, whatsoever. I have 4 holes in my face where piercings used to be. But the fact that she has them, is wearing a trashy shirt, no smile, a pound of eyeliner, and doesn't have the forethought to not take a selfie with her son pooping in the background... It's all just too much. Suddenly the piercings are working against her, making her look like an 'emo girl' from middle school who got pregnant at 13 and thinks selfies with her son pooping is edgy and different. Let the poor boy go in peace, and take your selfies somewhere else.
1 Take My Picture Son
Stop, just stop. Please, for the love of God, just hire a photographer to take your sexy pictures. Get a boudoir shoot done, and let your poor kid be a kid for a little longer. I just can't with this lady.
I have so many questions for this mom. If she was planning on sending this to someone, wouldn't they be curious who took the picture if the boy wasn't in the shot? And now that he is in the picture, isn't it off-putting? How did this picture circulate the internet? I would have deleted this as soon as I saw it, and then huddle up into a ball of shame for asking him to take a picture like this in the first place. Why are there multiple mirrors on the floor of her kitchen? Does she spend all day twerking and checking herself out? What is going on in this family?

|Documenting Architecture
There is a positive undercurrent of individual branding in art and architecture that is running parallel with digital and technological transformation. This unfolding puts me at a crossroads where my voice and designs are broadcast to a larger audience.
Throughout my architectural education, I have become interested in individual initiatives like student startups and began to document and showcase them to the community. When witnessing the energy of our ambitions as we made our mark in progressive areas like Wynwood, the Design District, Little Haiti, and Downtown, it became clear that the growing talent of young artists and designers impacted more people in greater strides. Whether it's by painting murals, volunteering in art galleries, biking to re-claim the street, designing local charrettes and installations, or building sand castles, all this work collectively aspired to FIU's name as well as our own. To help spread this trend and add a layer to student accomplishments, I started Awake Magazine, effectually documenting the architecture student and making our voices heard.
Thanks to the positive attention it has garnered, many doors have opened for the writers, designers, artists, and photographers that make up the team. This consequential infusion of talent within the community is a familiar avenue for the school, which prides itself in being the "first" of many ideas that started in Miami. With events such as Festival of the Trees, Eco Couture, Innovation Lab, Young Artist Initiative, and so much more, it opens up opportunities for student-driven creativity. Self-made projects are on the rise and it's thanks to a nurturing artistic environment in which everyone can thrive. For this reason, I hope to use my expressive and creative outlets to diversify that environment and continue to foster more artists in our local community – waiting to see the worthwhile changes that take place as a result.
|May 2016
|Humanity as Data
Miami is currently undergoing the rubber-band effect: a connection from point A to B grows farther and farther apart while everything in-between is avoided and stretches beyond repair. Horizontal instead of vertical development is hurting, not helping, the traffic flow, further destabilizing any chance at establishing a center. Driving around Miami gives a strong sense of urban incompleteness, and as architects we must do something to mitigate this while transportation becomes increasingly complex.
A possible next step is to begin tracking and collecting all data within the urban fabric, forming a living supercomputer. In this virtually connected city, all energy, traffic, communication, waste, and social-cultural function is stored and accessible to the public. An amalgamation of human footprint becomes the key to sustainable urban environments, where everything from water usage to dining preferences becomes measured and dynamic, synchronizing with the city to reflect up-to-date living conditions. Society is plug-and-play, as are buildings in which smart components can be added or subtracted to based on that information.
The designer addresses more critical issues highlighted by this data and is able to narrow-in on complex urban problems. Design strategies would revolve around metrics, leaving no room for error. Architectural experimentation is then allowed a sandbox environment where responses are immediate, resulting in a narrowed focus on feedback. Quantifying and abstracting humanity as data has been my main approach for developing sound design ideas. Taking it further and utilizing it on a macro scale, I am positive a new center for the city will emerge.

Watch her first video for yourself and let us know what you think! Will she quickly become on of your YouTube faves?

BENDIS Has Chosen Next JESSICA JONES Writer (And It's A Woman)
Brian Michael Bendis has assured fans that characters he created, such as Jessica Jones, Riri Williams, and Miles Morales would continue to appear in Marvel Comics after he leaves for a DC exclusive deal in 2018. And, what's more, he's already chosen the writer to take over Jessica Jones when he departs - though he's not naming her yet.
"Truth told I was already leaving [Jessica Jones] after 'Purple' for a Marvel project that is sadly no longer, and had already picked my replacement. She is amazing," Bendis explained on his Tumblr. "I will not be updating you on Marvel's plans here as it is theirs to announce and certainly not my place. But do not take that as anything but me respecting the process. I am so happy for all m'babies next evolution."
As for what that project may have been, Bendis didn't say. However, in June of this year, he announced Punisher: End of Days, a spin-off from his Daredevil: End of Days mini-series, which was never solicited.

A designation of catastrophic impairment (CAT) following a car accident provides an injury victim with access to greatly enhanced medical, rehabilitative and other benefits under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS). There are several categories of impairment that qualify immediately as catastrophic, including a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 9 or lower.
The Glasgow Coma Scale is a widely used assessment tool that was designed to identify potential brain injuries at the scene and on the way to the hospital. It is scored out of 15 and evaluates three areas: eye opening (4), motor response (6) and verbal response (5). An overall score of 3 indicates total lack of response.

UTICA – With 220 days left until the 2018 Boilermaker Road Race on July 8, race officials have unveiled the new logo for next year's race along with a new sponsor.
The Boilermaker has re-designed its logo each year since 1993. The new logo for the 2018 race was designed by Boilermaker intern Ben Keeler.
For the first time, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield will sponsor the Boilermaker 15K race. The 5K race will be sponsored by Carbone Auto Group.
The registration caps for the 15K and 5K races remain the same as last year, with 14,500 runners for the 15K and 4,500 runners for the 5K.
Early registration for the Boilermaker begins at 12 p.m. March 8 and closes at 12 p.m. March 16, and that's for people who finished the race in 2017 and those who deferred their registration to this year. Open registration for the race begins at 12 p.m. March 17.
Once again, Race Director Jim Stasaitis wants another uneventful event, and that meals that safety is the No. 1 priority.
"We want safety for our runners, for our volunteers and our spectators," said Jim Stasaitis, director of the Boilermaker Road Race. "So we're working on that year-round, as far as security, whatever. We want it safe, we want everybody to still have fun, and everybody involved on the security team knows that and we've got great cooperation and everybody does a great job with that."
Merchandise with the new 2018 Boilermaker logo is now available for purchase at boilermakermerch.com.
Tune into the NEWSChannel 2 Live at Five Newshour to hear more about the new sponsor and some changes you could see on the Boilermaker course in 2018.

Moscow (AFP) - Two Ukrainians went on trial in Russia on Tuesday accused of murdering dozens of Russian soldiers in Chechnya in the 1990s while fighting with separatists in a nationalist hit squad.
The powerful Investigative Committee said that the supreme court of Chechnya in Grozny began hearing the case of Stanislav Klykh and Mykola Karpyuk, both of whom are charged with murder and belonging to a militant organisation.
The men have been held in pre-trial detention for over a year after being arrested separately when they came to Russia last year.
Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said they were members of a Ukrainian nationalist group called UNA-UNSO that aimed "to oppose the Russian government in any form and eliminate Russian citizens of Russian ethnicity."
The Investigative Committee said the pair came to Chechnya with several other Ukrainians to "attack and kill citizens, Russian soldiers and security officers".
Markin said they clashed with Russian troops in Grozny from December 1994 to January 1995, "killing at least 30 soldiers."
Karpyuk is a well-known nationalist in Ukraine, while Klykh is a journalist who lectured on history at a Kiev university. Their supporters said neither has ever been to Chechnya.
Their defence calls their prosecution politically motivated.
The case reportedly rests on the testimony of a Ukrainian already serving a long sentence for armed robbery who agreed to cooperate with investigators and will be tried separately on the same charges.
Klykh's lawyer Marina Dubrovina has said her client was subjected to torture including electric shock and starvation.
She said he was pressured to testify against far-right Ukrainian organisations vilified by Moscow.
The case is part of a sweeping probe into the participation of Ukrainians in Chechen hit squads led by a far-right Ukrainian nationalist, Oleksandr Muzytchko -- also known as Sashko Bilyi.
Muzytchko later became the coordinator of Right Sector, a far-right nationalist group in western Ukraine. He was shot dead by Ukrainian police last year.
Right Sector, which has been banned in Russia, played a key role in the deadly protests that unseated pro-Moscow president Viktor Yanukovych last year and its well-equipped fighters have also fought pro-Russian separatists in the east.
Last week the head of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin made widely ridiculed allegations that Ukraine's bespectacled Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk also fought in Chechnya, though Tuesday's statement makes no mention of him.
Russia fought two messy wars in Chechnya against separatists calling for an independent state. The military campaign ended with the installation of Ramzan Kadyrov, a former separatist warlord, at the helm of the war-torn region.


text: Hey all! So I store my guitars in their cases mainly because they're pretty dang expensive and don't want to test putting them on a stand without the case. I have been trying to find a rack that can be used specifically to store guitar cases with the guitars in them but have been having trouble as there only seem to be a couple solutions on the market. The first one I found is this one: It's right up my alley price-wise but I am going to be storing both electric and acoustic guitars and a lot of the reviews say it's not wide enough to securely hold the rectangular electric guitar cases The second one I found is from these guys: https://www.guitarstorage.com/guitar-case-storage-racks/ These look to have enough width to properly hold electric guitar cases and acoustic guitar cases but not really digging the looks and a $300 minimum price tag is very spendy as well. Is there another option on the market I'm not aware of? Is anyone here using something they can recommend? Thanks!

Baking, the oven and cakes are very new to me. I never saw an oven in my life until I moved to Ireland. Being surrounded by Irish family and friends who are always talking about baking I found myself integrating gradually. I chose to stay with simple and easy baking however. I like the way this warm lemon and syrup cake is not that complicated and so tasty, it could even serve in the desert category plated with baked or poached pears and cream. I only made it last night and it has disappeared already!
Warm Lemon and Syrup Cake
3 eggs
175g Caster Sugar
175g Self raising flour
60g Almonds
Grated rind of one lemon
2 tbsp Lemon juice
Baked or poached pears to serve
Caster sugar
Juice of 3 lemons
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and base-line a deep, round, 20cm cake tin.
- Place all the cake ingredients in a large bowl and beat well for 2-3 minutes,until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Tip the mixture into the prepared tin, spread level and bake for 1 hour or until golden and firm to touch.
- Meanwhile, make the syrup. Put the sugar, lemon juice and 5 tbsp of water in a pan. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, then boil, without stirring, for 1-2 minutes.
- Turn out the cake onto a plate with a rim. Prick the surface of the cake all over with a fork,then pour over the hot syrup. Leave to soak for about 30 minutes.
Serve the cake warm with baked or poached pears and cream.

Multi-Touch Surface Computing
Saw this over at TechCrunch from a couple of days ago. Not widgets related but very interesting none-the-less. Microsoft announced Microsoft Surface, a multi-touch surface computing platform. Users interact with the surface computer through touch, gestures and physical objects placed on the surface.
While touch screens and surface interactions is nothing new, Microsoft has prototyped a package that looks great. See the embedded video below for the demo. The applications can be limitless; table tops, walls, counters, photos, videos, remote controls, maps, menus etc…
Microsoft is looking to release this for initial commercial partners as early as late 2007.

I know this topic has been raised before, but nothing I've read here has led to any solutions for me.
Problem: I have downloaded a trial version of CO 12 Pro Fuji, and not matter what I do, I can't access the film simulations.
I am shooting on an X100T in RAW only, but with the Br film simulation. This gives me a BW viewfinder but results in only RAW files being recorded and imported. NOTE: I have also tried shooing with the STD film simulation set in the camera, but this makes not difference to the problem described below.
Here's what happens when I attempt to apply, say, the ACROS simulation to a file:
• I select a RAW image, which shows up in color in the viewer
• I go to the Color tab
• In Base Characteristics, I select the "Fujifilm X100T Generic" for the ICC Profile
• The Engine is already set to Capture One 12
• When I select the Curve drop-down, I get only five options: Auto, Film Extra Shadow, Film High Contrast, Film Standard, Linear Response.
I expected to see other Fuji simulations in this list, including ACROS, but they're not there.
Am I mis-reading the instructions in some basic way, or missing some crucial step?

Rich context enables granular visibility and control
Patented and built in the cloud, Netskope Cloud XD™ is the brain behind Netskope. Unlike any other technology, Cloud XD understands all inputs (logs, SaaS, IaaS, web) in extreme definition and performs big data analytics on details including user, group, location, device, service, destination, activity, and content in real time. This helps enterprises eliminate the blind spots legacy vendors can't see and make policy enforcement simple across thousands of SaaS and IaaS services, and millions of websites. Cloud XD understands users, devices, locations, dates, times, content, and activities such as "share," "approve," "edit," "download," "send," "post," "upload," and more across any cloud service, service instance, service category, or website. By mapping out the API interactions of billions of transactions across tens of thousands of services, Netskope has built the intelligence you need to go beyond wondering what byte movements represent. This allows you to understand risky behavior and take action to protect sensitive data, stop online threats, and respond to incidents immediately and thoroughly.
Cloud XD uniquely and comprehensively covers all cloud and web traffic sources, including web browsers, mobile apps, and sync clients.
Rather than take a sledgehammer approach by blocking cloud services and websites, use Netskope Cloud XD as your scalpel. Identify risky activities and the details surrounding them, such as sharing outside of the organization's sanctioned instance or downloading confidential data to a BYO device, and block or throttle those instead. The result is safely enabling the cloud and web while carving out the risk rather than blocking outright in a single control point.
Eliminate blind spots across all cloud and web transactions. If you can look deeply into cloud services and websites and gain a full understanding of how they are used in your organization, then your security initiatives such as policy development, DLP, threat protection, and incident forensics will be stronger and more successful. With Cloud XD, you're able to see rich information like user, group, location, device, service, destination, activity, and content in real time, across thousands of SaaS and IaaS services, and millions of websites.
Cloud XD performs big data analysis of user, group, location, activity, and content across thousands of cloud services and millions of websites to detect the rich details needed for simplified security policies against non-compliant behavior, data protection, and cloud threats. And rather than go through the tedious process of creating a separate policy for each cloud service and website, take advantage of unified policies from Netskope. Cloud XD normalizes activities like "upload," so you can seamlessly enforce policies at the category level, such as "Block upload of sensitive content to any cloud storage outside of the company's corporate instance."
By mapping the API interactions of billions of transactions across tens of thousands of cloud services and millions of websites, the Netskope Cloud XD helps you understand cloud and web activities like "share," "approve," "edit," "download," "send," "post," "upload," and more.
Because Cloud XD gives you more granularity across the board, you will have stronger policies. You can be more precise and targeted across both sanctioned and unsanctioned services and websites whether users are on a web browser, mobile app, or sync client.
Cloud XD gives you rich cloud and web use details for your reporting, analytics, and forensics. By decoding and normalizing metadata about users, services, devices, locations, activities, and content, we make these details available for your ad-hoc queries, forensic audit trail, incident management processes, and compliance reports.
Cloud XD takes your cloud threat protection to the next level by augmenting anomaly detection with rich cloud use details. Your threat vector coverage is expanded to include cloud and web access methods with zero blind spots.
Netskope Cloud XD incorporates relevant information into your DLP policies for more precise and accurate detection. Your DLP coverage can be set across thousands of cloud services and millions of websites.

Small Business Week and the Digital Economy: Internet Freedom is Fundamental to Entrepreneurship and Business Growth
By SBE Council at 30 April, 2018, 3:59 pm
By Karen Kerrigan-
During National Small Business Week, we are reminded about the significant role America's small businesses play in supporting communities across the United States and contributing to our national economy. And in a business landscape that is becoming increasingly digital, it's important to remember that sound internet policy is essential to creating an environment that positions small business to innovative and succeed.
The digital economy has evolved at a rapid pace. With bipartisan support, this dynamic ecosystem thrived under a light-touch regulatory framework. The approach was intentional – allowing the internet to grow into what it is today. But in 2015, President Obama's FCC reversed course and implemented "Title II," an unnecessary scheme subjecting internet access services to heavy regulatory burdens.
What happened next? Investments in our digital economy went down by billions and bureaucratic red tape soared. American small business owners and disruptors held back by the burdens of this regulation were among those who paid the price. The burden especially harmed small internet service providers (ISPs), which provide broadband and internet connections to rural and underserved areas of our country.
Thankfully, the current FCC views Title II as a flawed approach and took action to reverse the damage by advancing the "Restoring Internet Freedom Order." Freeing the internet ecosystem of suffocating regulation is what will open the doors to greater investment, innovation and opportunities for small business owners, start-ups and entrepreneurs.
However, the fight for internet freedom is not over. Some activists are lobbying hard to reverse course and return to Title II – a framework we know doesn't work, as it would restore outdated rules that are inappropriate for the modern era. The Senate is expected to vote on a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution in the coming weeks to do just that.
Approving this CRA would be a massive mistake. Instead, our lawmakers on Capitol Hill need to focus on a bipartisan bill that addresses 21st century challenges with common-sense solutions that apply to all players on the internet. This would bring regulatory certainty and parity, which will incentivize investment and put businesses of all sizes in a better position to compete in the digital economy and the global marketplace.

text: Botswana's UK-based sexy songstress Lorraine Lionheart has taken things a notch up by bringing something playful on top of her musical talent. Lionheart has launched a podcast dubbed Tasso – a podcast that talks about sex. The songstress revealed that the podcast is rated 18 and above because there will be no filter where she will be discussing sexual issues raw. "This is not for the faint-hearted and I am not one person who shies away from sex and talking about it; so definitely there will not be any filter and the episodes which are aimed at pushing boundaries will air for one hour each week," she said. Lionheart said the podcast would be explosive – discussing all the aspects about sex and everything surrounding it. She said even though she knows that Africans can be reserved when it comes to talking about sex, she believes that through this show many will be able to open up and even discuss the issues that they are not usually able to talk about. The first podcast was aired on February 1 and it can also be found on the Tasso website.

With the cold winter outside, I decided to introduce an easy and fun colourful flower demo for the Art Project of the Month for February at Halton Women's Place. The demo was inspired by the artwork of British artist Yvonne Coomber, who creates large beautiful floral landscapes with splattering and vibrant colours. The techniques used for the class were inspired by artist Angela Anderson, who also based her tutorial on the vibrant and fun artwork of Yvonne Coomber.
The women were provided with some basic supplies, using sponge brushes for a quick wet background and then moved into fun splatter mode with toothbrushes and very watery paint. The general consensus was the splattering was the best part! Although a little messy for the hands but worth the fun in the end. We then used Q-Tips to make little dots of varying sizes for the flowers, keeping in mind perspective with the larger darker flowers at the front receding to lighter and smaller ones in the distance.
The women did a fantastic job of creating depth in their paintings and then continued on to create their own personal garden using their own style, painting a sun, clouds, and sometimes birds too. It was a great time chatting about flowers and spring in the middle of winter, as well as also about how the artwork of other artists inspires us.
Here are some samples of their creations:

Herndon, Alonzo Franklin
- Alexa Benson Henderson
Herndon, Alonzo Franklin (26 June 1858–21 July 1927), barber and businessman, was born in Social Circle, Georgia, the son of a white father (name unknown) and a slave mother, Sophenia Herndon. Born on a farm in Walton County, forty miles east of Atlanta, he was a slave for the first seven and a half years of his life and, in his own words, "was very near it for twenty years more." After emancipation, he worked as a laborer and peddler to help his family eke out a living in the hostile rural environment, where he was able to acquire only a few months of schooling. In 1878, with eleven dollars of savings, Herndon left his birthplace to seek opportunities elsewhere....

When a man suspects his wife of infidelity but is not sure enough about it — he can't do anything. But it is difficult to live in peace, too: he is anxiously looking for signs of infidelity of his wife in everything — whether they exist or not.
If the below mentioned things are happening to you and leading you to depression, yet, you feel you are giving 100% to the relationship but it's not going the way you want, you are on the right page.
Watch Out Signs:
With all her war paint on.
The first robin is the fact that she is giving a lot of sudden importance to her appearance: a bunch of beauty salons with salariums, manicure, hairdos and depilation in a row, especially if she has seldom ever done this before; new fancy clothes and what is more, new underwear!
A skeleton in her cupboard.
If you used to have an access to her accounts and could read her texts, the situation has changed now. She is hiding her emails and social network messages from you, gets a dozen of texts from "network providers" and sometimes, for some reason, even replies to them; or she is busy texting her friends late at night and after all the chats she is usually in high spirits which immediately get down as soon as she sees you. If you do dare to peek into her messages, be ready for a scene.
Busy bee.
You discover her immense love and striving for work: she is leaving early and coming home later than usual, the work extra meetings she mentions to excuse herself happen on a regular basis, or she even goes to work on the weekends. Just don't confuse that with her desire to earn money for a trip for both of you. Another excuse which takes up a lot of time is a new hobby.
Alien at home.
She's got a sudden change in the way she treats you: being unusually sweet like honey with you or, on the contrary, getting into quarrels on miscelaneous issues which are so minor that you two never even discussed them before, and an abyss of indifference slowly flows from her side.
Goldfish memory
If your wife often forgets the wedding ring at home or forgets to text or call you back, it's high time to think about this strange forgetfulness. She never complained to you of Alzheimer's disease, did she? Same goes for missing your calls because, as she says, she doesn't hear them.
Mysterious friend
She is not responding to your phone calls and text messages and declining your phone calls when away or she simply turns her phone off, saying she is at a meeting or that her battery is low; ignoring you like you don't exist. She has met and texts a new friend—someone, called Jessica — days and nights, but she never picks up when the Jessica is calling.

SCHEME FOR NATURALISATION OF INVESTORS IN CYPRUS BY EXCEPTION on the basis of subsection (2) of section 111A of the Civil Registry Laws of 2002-2015
Within this framework and taking into account the strong investor interest, the Government of Cyprus has established and revised a "Scheme for Naturalization of non-Cypriot investors by exception" on the basis of subsection (2) of section 111A of the Civil Registry Laws of 2002-2015, with specific incentives, terms and conditions and control procedures in order to prevent abuse.
On the basis of the Scheme, a non-Cypriot citizen, who meets one of the following economic criteria (A), either personally or through a company/companies in which he/she participates as a shareholder – in proportion to his holding percentage, or through investments done by his/her spouse or jointly with the spouse or even as a high-ranking senior manager of a company/companies that meets one of the economic criteria (A), may apply for the acquisition of the Cypriot citizenship through naturalization by exception.

It is understood that investment in land that is situated in a building zone of zero development, is excluded.
Α.2 Purchase or Establishment or Participation in Cypriot Companies or Businesses:
The applicant should have made a purchase or should have participated in companies or organizations established and operating in the Republic of Cyprus with investment costs of at least €2,0 million. The invested funds shall be channelled towards the financing of the investment objectives of these companies exclusively in Cyprus, based on a specific investment plan. The applications shall be evaluated to verify that the companies or organizations have proven physical presence in Cyprus, with significant activity and turnover and employ at least five (5) Cypriot or citizens of European Union member-states. The minimum number of employees shall increase, if more than one applicant invests simultaneously or almost simultaneously in the same business or company. In addition, the employees of the companies need to have legally and continuously resided in Cyprus during the five years preceding the application submission date.

In order to confirm that the investments that meet the criteria of the current Scheme will be kept for at least three years, the manager or the auditor of the Fund shall inform in writing and on an annual basis, the Ministries of Finance and Interior with reference to the value of the initial investment. The purchase of financial assets of Cypriot companies or organizations of at least €2,0 million, such as bonds, bills and securities, issued with the approval of the CySec, by companies that have proven physical presence and substantial economic activity in the Republic of Cyprus, and have as a purpose the financing of the investment plans of these companies or organizations exclusively in Cyprus, based on an investment plan, fall under this criterion.

UROC Trafficking Panel0
Prostitution and sex trafficking's impact on urban communities and how to end the practice in Minnesota is the topic of a public discussion at 6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 18, the University of Minnesota Urban Research and Outreach-Engagement Center in Minneapolis.
The second in UROC's Critical Conversations public discussion series, The Impact of Sex Trafficking and Prostitution on Community Health: Reducing Harm, Promoting Healing, will focus on how North Minneapolis and other urban communities can take action steps to end sex trafficking in Minnesota.
Sex trafficking and the prostitution of women and children is a growing concern in the Twin Cities, with Minneapolis named by the FBI as one of the top U.S. cities for trafficking of juveniles.
While Minnesota's 2011 "safe harbor" legislation is groundbreaking, UROC's director of research Lauren Martin believes we have far to go. "As a metro area, the Twin Cities is doing a lot of things right," Martin said. "But I also think the broader community thinks we're better off than we actually are."
Martin, who will co-convene the discussion, recently authored a cost-benefit analysis of government-funded intervention in the prevention of early adolescent sex trafficking commissioned by the Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center.
"Lauren Martin's research shows that prostitution and sex trafficking is tied to poverty, exploitation and lack of choice," said UROC executive director Heidi Barajas. "This Critical Conversations throws a spotlight on issues surrounding sex trafficking — only by illuminating the issues can communities begin to address the problems."
The event is produced in partnership with Kwanzaa Community Church's Northside Women's Space and the University of Minnesota Center for Integrative Leadership, as part of its yearlong series of events on the local and global impact of human trafficking.
"Kwanzaa's Northside Women's Space is co-hosting this Critical Conversation because we see the impact of sex trafficking on our community and seek to foster a broader community dialogue on the issue," said Pastor Alika Galloway.
The event will feature an overview at 6 p.m., and small and large group discussions from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The event is free and open to the public (including media); however, online registrations atz.umn.edu/oct18criticalconvo have already reached capacity.
UROC's mission is to link the university in public partnership with urban communities to advance learning, improve quality of life and discover solutions to complex urban challenges. For information visit uroc.umn.edu.

Chris Pine revealed he's still interested in reprising his role as Captain Kirk for Star Trek 4, but he's currently in a holding pattern with Paramount Studios. Plans for the film hit a roadblock earlier this summer negotiations stalled between the film's two main stars, Pine and Chris Hemsworth.
In the wake of the success of Star Trek: Discovery, Paramount's moved forward with plans to release not one, but two possible films in the Star Trek franchise, one being Quentin Tarantino's ambitious attempt to create an R-Rated film that involves cast members from several of Star Trek's previous series, and the other being the fairly more straightforward fourth installment of J.J. Abrams' Kelvin Universe timeline. At first it appeared that that film was more likely to get off the ground sooner given its ready-made all-star cast and a somewhat more developed time-travel story involving Kirk and his late father George (Hemsworth). But while Hemsworth and Pine's soaring status made them very attractive gets for the upcoming film, it also made them very expensive, and contract negotiations ran into problems reportedly over their paychecks. In the aftermath of that revelation, speculation has been rampant about whether or not Kirk and Kirk would be recast or if the franchise would simply continue with a different story absent its most recognizable character at the helm.

For those who think that's impossible, hope remained alive today as Chris Pine revealed he's still very interested in the project, but is just waiting on word from the studio to see if it can happen. During a red carpet interview at the Toronto International Film Festival, Pine said this in response to Variety's question about the state of his participation in the project:
"I don't know, I mean I'd love to be involved, and we'll see what happens and I'll await the phone call. Until then, I look forward to it."
The fact that Pine is still actively enthusiastic and positive about the project means his participation in the movie is still a possibility. That's a very good thing considering there's a huge risk in launching Star Trek 4 without Captain Kirk. Despite any reboots' ability to reinvent its source material, losing a character that's as much of an anchor as Kirk would represent a huge risk to a franchise that has far from proven its ability to exist without him. The Abrams movies have largely built themselves around Kirk - Zachary Quinto's Spock has figured in prominently, and the supporting cast has more than paid their dues, the captain's story has always driven any Star Trek narrative related to the Original Series.
While the Kelvin Universe movies don't need George Kirk to survive, they arguably need James in some capacity to avoid a noticeably gaping hole where Star Trek's inaugural captain would be. The only way in which we could see Kirk sitting out a Kelvin Universe film in a palatable way would be for that series to compose his death in a way that was reminiscent of Spock's death in Wrath of Khan and then to follow it up with a (hopefully better executed) reboot of The Search for Spock. But considering Into Darkness already did away with that possibility, it's hard to see how Paramount could make Star Trek 4 without the movie feeling strangely lacking.

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Bridgewater State University senior midfielder Nicole Simas has been selected as the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) GEICO Women's Soccer Player of the Week. GEICO is the proud sponsor of the MASCAC weekly awards program.
Simas netted a pair of game-winning goals in a perfect 2-0 week for the Bears last week. The Dartmouth, Massachusetts product potted the winning tally in a 1-0 double overtime victory at MCLA as the Bears secured the second seed and a first round bye in next week's MASCAC Tournament. Earlier in the week, she notched the game-winner in a 3-1 non-conference victory over UMass Boston.
Through 16 games this season, Simas has recorded a team-best eight goals to go along with three assists for 19 points. Four of her eight markers have been game-winners.
Simas is currently tied for the MASCAC lead in game-winning goals. She is also tied for fourth in the conference in goals and tied for sixth in scoring.
In 51 games over three seasons at Bridgewater State, Simas has amassed 21 goals (nine game-winners) and three assists for 45 points. She presently ranks 14th among the Bears' all-time scoring leaders.
The BSU women's soccer team enters this week's MASCAC Tournament with an overall record of 9-5-2 (5-1-1 MASCAC). The Bears will host a semifinal round game on Friday, November 2nd at 6:30 PM versus either #3 Westfield State University or #6 Fitchburg State University.
Notes: Simas is the third member of the BSU women's soccer team to earn MASCAC Player of the Week honors during the 2018 campaign. Junior forwards Emma Sanders (Seekonk, Mass.) and Alana Vincent (Taunton, Mass.) also garnered the accolade earlier this season.
