Street style trend of the day was snug knitwear and cosy hats – shame the sun came out and everyone was boiling!
The beautiful Kate Nash took her place on the front row at many shows today, she is always ready with a lovely smile. Strutting around the court yard were Made in Chelsea's Lucy Watson, Mark-Frances Vandelli Orlov-Romanovsky and Victoria Baker-Harber.
Due to insane weather confusion – S/S in the shops, snowing in Manchester and sunny in London packing for LFW was a bit of a fail! I ended up leaving behind all the gorgeous light and breezy clothes I originally had marked for LFW and stuffing heavy coats and knits into my cases (yes plural). Then spent the entire day being far to hot and wishing for snow, never can win! Luckily I had packed these amazing sunglasses from TK Maxx, they remind me of beetle wings. The rest of my outfit was Vivienne Westwood and my gorgeous Rianna Phillips clutch.
My make up is all Bobbi Brown, who I had the pleasure of joining back stage too…
Saving the best for last here are my two personal favourite shows of the day, up first was Bora Aksu (first two images). A Gothic-romance of 1920's skull cap style head wear and floaty dresses, cinched in with intricate corsets. The chiffon capes were otherworldly, I look forward to writing the full review. Next Jena.Theo, a more personal presentation where I got to go backstage with the Bobbi Brown team. The make up look was fresh and dewy with a pop of reddy-pink lipstick to match the footwear of course! The nails were an amazing contrast of black leather-effect polish and bright orange and pink neon. This all made sense when the collection was revealed, a bright and cheerful array of smiley face emblazoned over-sized jumper dresses and striking broken graphic prints in black, orange, yellow and pink. You can also see Irene's nails from the Bobbi Brown team, she has a version of the mani I showed on my blog last post but shaped the tips into more of a heart shape for Valentines day, cute right!
More tomorrow and don't forget to pick up The Sunday Telegraph for the Stella magazine this Sunday 😉

'For every woman born a princess, destined to become a Queen'. It was evident from the glorious crochet wool crowns that there was a regal undertone to Bora Aksu's SS13 collection. The designer quotes Marie,Queen of Romania as inspiration for the collection. Her love of Art Deco, botanical gardens and her racy love life. Marie had many admires, she was a beautiful and powerful woman. Such qualities were reflected in the collection, the pale blues, soft greys and fresh whites create romance whilst the mustards golds and corals pack a vibrant punch. Creeping vines in Art Deco shapes add intrigue and depth. To say this was a beautiful collection is an understatement.

A group of old ladies, hunched up and shuffling, greet each other with a hug and shuffle off down the run way. The music changes and the Grannies jump into dance to Right Said Fred's 'I'm too Sexy'! The cakes, wool balls, knitting needles, pearls, bows, hearts, poodles and cats are all things designer Fam Irvoll brought together to create the perfect, dream world Grandmother. Irvoll famously draws on childhood memories and themes for her collection and this one was no different, a real candyfloss and tea, pastel sweet celebration of the charming old lady. The collection was far from twee with body-con mini skirts adding a glamourous edge and fitted tailoring keeping the silhouette sleek. Frothy dresses in candy colours, adorned with huge corsages would be equally welcome for day or night. The was a deinitively 1950's undertone to the shapes used. The whimsical shoes, were moccasins given a thick flatform sole and googly eyes, ears and a nose to create cute poodles. Tony & Guy created elegant bouffants amongst the eccentric wigs. Nails by Sharon Ashton were an elegant matt red and pink with 3D baby-blue bows. Echoing the make-up by Jo Sugar for The BodyShop, a pale blue eye with wing-tip liner and a pastel pink or orange-red lip.
You can see the show video at Fam Irvoll.com and see more show images in my FaceBook Album.

With the collection entitled Hell's Angels and the invite embossed in gold intricate patters intrigue was created before we even took our seat for the presentation. Wonderful storm clouds at sunset were painted around the room creating a dramatic back drop. Angel's did indeed come down in gossamer silk, shimmering sequins and iridescent beads. Yet they were grounded with twisting patterns of snakes, skulls and insects, invoking what would be found below the damp, cool ground. Splashes or rich ochre and burn umber gave a feeling of energy and the flow of purpose. The use of cow hide and tattoo designs echoed connotations with the earth, with living organisms. The prints, the textures, the cuts combined to make a the perfect urban wardrobe. Chunky, woven leather, cut-out Chelsea boots, balenced out floaty tops over skinny jeans and lent a casual edge to heavily embellished gowns. The female form was celebrated in corseted vests and the use of sheer chiffon. This wasn't just a beautiful collection, it was a desirable one. A collection you could easily imagine woman wearing in the city let alone in the heavens.

The street style at London Fashion Week just keeps on getting better and better! One thing I really enjoy about being here is getting to meet so many new designers. Just by stopping to talk to someone about their outfit you get to learn a bit about them and I'm always made up to find someone wearing their own design or supporting a designer friend.
I also spotted this girl wearing Nova Chiu who I first saw at last season's 'Ones to Watch' show and who happens to be showing tomorrow at Vauxhall Fashion Scout, really looking forward to the show.
Today I wore a random mix: Jacket, sunglasses and bag TK Maxx; Shoes and skirt Zara; Jumper Alexander Wang; Orange necklace Vivienne Westwood; Silver necklace Jimmy Choo at H&M.
 My show of the day had to be Fashion Shenzhen, a collective of designers from China's Guangdong province. The two designers which showcased their collection on the runway, Aum and Jixiangzhai (Mascot), both encorporated traditional Chinese dress details with modern cuts, fabric and design.
Other designers of note today have to be Burberry and Christopher Kane, the former a metalic rainbow, the latter taking a minimal stand. That's if Frankenstein can ever be classed as minimal!

The Street Style for London Fashion Week Day 3 was a beautiful medley of┬á Crayola coloured prints and wondrous patterns. One trend still reigned supreme – Sportswear, baseball caps, bomber jackets, trainers from bright Nike's to Marant style wedges all dressed up of course not like you are off down the gym! Wooly jumpers were also a key item in acid colours or clashing prints, with Kenzo being the most sighted brand around.
I fit right in with the trends I had been spotting all day, I guess it was a constant fashion mind set! I wore a vintage 80's Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren 'Savages' jumper, vintage Vivienne Westwood shoes, random vintage necklace eBay, tights and skirt TK Maxx
I joined the super-fabulous Sharon (@Sharon1nails), Pebbles and Zaida backstage at Nicole Farhi to see them work their magic. Nails were kept short and clean with a polished sheen to compliment the fresh, nude tones and autumnal prints used in the collection. The designer herself stopped by to get a quick manicure before the show too. You would not believe how chic this lady is, she pulled up to the show driving her drop-top vintage Porche, wearing wooden wedges and wide leg grey trousers, so elegant. Make-up was a dewy glow with sculpted cheekbones and hair a sleek half-pony tail. with a small bouffant on the crown. The details in the collection were awe inspiring, from tiny rivets to hold pleats to rectangular sequins forming a stripe down crisp white trousers.
Today also saw Margaret Howell, Marios Schwab, Matthew Williamson, Paul Smith, Mary Katrantzou and Vivienne Westwood Red Label. Trends so far are wide and varied but one thing which does seem to be constant is a softer, romantic vision for summer.
Vivienne ended her show with her poignant message 'Climate Revolution', wearing the dress she first reveled at the Paralympics closing ceremony. Yesterday Vivienne explain how the slogan was kept a secret and was carefully constructed and designed. The dress tied at the neck like a cape and had a 7ft train. Pockets were integrated either side so that her son and husband could place their spears into it and haul it up as a huge banner when Vivienne slipped it off, revealing her slogan to the world. The had asked Vivienne to embody the character Boudica for the ceremony, the warrior queen, that is one thing they certainly got right!

(Law from That's so Yesterday)
Today London Fashion Week kicked off for the Spring / Summer 2013 season. The vibe was more subtle, like a gentle fashion whisper than usual, which was reflected in the collections and in the people milling around Somerset House. Whether it will last the week or we will have a few booms and bangs is hard to say, what we can be sure of is a ton of exciting new inspiration which can be used now and into next year.
Key street style trends were a mingle of winter and summer fashions, due to this crazy weather we have been inflicted with this summer. Bright, cheerful and pastel colours were still a hit but mixed in with warm tartans and edgy studs. In fact everything was studded from jackets to jewellery. Touches of the sports-Luxe trend were apparent with lots of baseball caps, baseball jackets and trainers be it Nike's or Isabel Marant Wedges. Neon too showed no sign of going away with flashes seen in jewellery, accessories and footwear. For winter faux-fur will be huge, although for a fresh take try it in loud colours such as emerald green, ruby red and cobalt blue – all mixed together of course!
9am – Opening LFW was Antoni & Alison now celebratig 25 years in the business! The presented 'New Work' to symbolise looking forward and not back, in an array of bright colours, a real feast for the eyes.
One of the models with the after the show with the 'patchwork' eye shadow
11am – Caroline Charles – Bright, happy, cheerful florals and a delicious use of colour clashing. Charles always presents a charming selection of hats, this season however they were given a subtle 90′ Gothic twist with rosary bead belts and a flash of bare mid-rift.
2pm – Corrie Nielsen – We were transported into a fairy forest, with butterfly beauty and caterpillar cocoon warmth and security. Ethereal, whipped cream gowns with structure and binding shapes.
3pm – Bora Aksu – From fairy land to fairy tales we were delved into a kingdom of crochet crowns and princesses in soft jewel tones. The silhouette is regal but with a soft, romantic tone.
4:30pm – Fam Irvoll – Showing Off-Schedule at Vauxhall Fashion Scout Fam had us all wondering what to expect with her cleverly titled collection 'No thank you, Mr Botox'. Three old grannies stooped over and staggered down the runway, only to burst into dance to the sounds of 'I'm to Sexy' by Right Said Fred! Playful, cheerful and a real celebration of fun and fashion, with lust worthy peplum tops and cartoon printed dresses. Not to forget the doggies loafers!
So what did I wear to pound the cobbles at Somerset House? I based my outfit around the 'impulse buy' shoes you may remember me picking up the other week. Keeping it sleek with a nod to the sporty trend I paired the heeled trainers with a simple black pencil skirt, loose t-shirt and leather baseball cap.
(Leather cap eBay, Clutch bag & Lego keyring both gifts, Alexander Wang T-shirt and waistcoat, Vivienne Westwood pencil skirt, assorted jewellery, shoes from TK Maxx)
This post featured the following hot lady bloggers: 1. Law – That's so Yesterday, 3. Rebecca – It's Cohen, 7. Katie –Glass of Fashion, 8. Lois – Bunni Punch

If you're a Breaking Bad fan then there's absolutely no way you wouldn't like Better Call Saul. The show's main theme revolves around one of Breaking Bad's best characters, Saul Goodman, but it depicts how his life was prior to becoming Walter White's go-to guy. For the record, his real name is Jimmy McGill.
Just in case you aren't too convinced as to why you should start watching, Better Call Saul was the most Googled television show of 2015. It even beat out frontrunners like Game of Thrones and Empire.
To make things even better, the season two premiere is on February 15, which means you have more than a month to binge watch the first season! Trust me, I've been watching this show from day one and it's so good. If you're expecting a show like Breaking Bad, you aren't going to find one. The pace is very different and the story doesn't revolve around blue meth. However, it comes from the brilliant minds of Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, so you know it's a masterpiece.
Oh, and there's a pretty big possibility of extra special cameos this season. I'm looking at you, Walter White.
Don't miss what Zayn Malik said about One Direction and see Vin Diesel's touching tribute to Paul Walker!

A Raspberry Pi is a useful piece of hardware, and the various models available allow for a wide variety of projects.
While many projects rely on the powerful specifications of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, other models like the Pi Zero W are more suited for certain builds.
Whichever of the mini-computers you choose to experiment with, there will always be something interesting to build – especially when you add logic boards or mechanical components.
One of the more interesting concepts for a Raspberry Pi project is a DIY smartphone, which is not as difficult as it sounds to build.
Because the Raspberry Pi is already a computer, all it needs is a cellular data component to function as a smartphone.
The central component of a Pi-powered smartphone is the Pi, and the model you choose depends on your design and performance requirements.
A popular example of a DIY smartphone is David Hunt's PiPhone, which uses a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
Other designs like the ZeroPhone project focus on form factor instead of full-screen touch functionality, but the essential components are similar.
The basic hardware required for the PiPhone is:
- Raspberry Pi
- Lithium-ion battery
- 5V DC-DC converter
- TFT touchscreen
- GPRS/GSM module with antenna
- Electrical power switch
- Speaker/headphones and microphone
- SIM card
You will also need to connect all the components together for assembly.
Foam separators and cable ties, or a 3D-printed chassis and dedicated mounts can be used for the phone.
While the Raspberry Pi device range is not especially expensive in South Africa, some of the other components required for this project might be – such as the cellular module and touchscreen.
For example, a 2G GPRS board with with GPS is priced at R952 and would have to be imported, while Adafruit's PiTFT touchscreen is available locally for R806.
Certain projects, like the ZeroPhone, include specific PCB layouts for custom hardware which fits the form factor of the smartphone's design.
Building the device
Once you have the components, it is simply a matter of connecting the logic boards and power circuit correctly and setting up your chosen software.
The setup of the breakout boards and other parts would depend on what you purchased, although it is recommended you choose a cellular network module which uses AT commands to establish data connections – as this is the same type of command used by the device in the PiPhone project.
Many of the components, such as the GSM/GPRS modem board and the TFT display will have their own documentation available from their manufacturers, which will allow you to set them up to interact with the Raspberry Pi correctly.
Additionally, project pages for the ZeroPhone and PiPhone include instructions on how to download and install the software used to make these devices work correctly after the components are installed.
The projects all include step-by-step guides, but the nature of a Raspberry Pi's Linux-based operating system will allow you to set up your DIY smartphone in any way you choose.
You can install other applications on the device, set up retro arcade games, or include a video player and onboard storage.
If you have some programming knowledge, you could even write your own applications to send and receive SMSs, make and receive calls, and more.
There are a number of resources available online regarding the setup of a DIY Raspberry Pi smartphone, with links to two of the most popular projects below:
This project will require basic programming knowledge and research into the setup information for your chosen components.

As my blog readers and twitterers know, I got my bottom 2 wisdom teeth out yesterday and I was so nervous. I don't think I was as nervous about the dental work, but that I didn't know what to expect.
I knew I was nervous because I got turned around when I was downtown trying to find the parkade closest to the surgery centre. Don't worry folks, I didn't drive home or leave my car overnight in a parkade (too $$$). My husband took the bus over from work and picked me and the car up. I messaged him every detail of exactly where the car, car keys, and parkade ticket were so I would have to remember after my surgery. I didn't know how out of it I was going to be.
I got to the surgery centre almost exactly an hour before my appointment so I had a lot of time to sit and think. Too much time. I brought a book with me but I couldn't focus. I did a lot of people watching in the tiny room and I felt old. The other people there my age were parents waiting with kids! It looked like all the people getting their wisdom teeth out were at least a good 10 years younger than me.
I got a bit upset while waiting. There was a 4 year old there because she had rotten teeth that needed to be pulled. This made me so sad. I hope that the parents work extra hard at teaching her proper dental hygiene now. Unfortunately this little girl got a popsicle as soon as she woke up. There was another mom there that was angry her son's appointment wasn't on time, when everyone knows that they can schedule surgeries as much as they want but things happen. They told her that they have blocks of time for each surgery and sometimes it goes over and sometimes it is shorter. She demanded to see this schedule of people to make sure they were telling her the truth. Well lady, have you ever heard of patient confidentiality? She was so angry that they wouldn't show it to her.
Sometimes, I just can't understand people.
Finally (after peeing 2 times during my hour-long wait even though I hadn't had anything to drink in over 12 hours!), my name was called and I had to change into a gown. I thought they'd take me in right away but I had to wait in another room that was heated so it was cozy and warm and it had comfortable arm chairs and a People magazine out for me to read. I met the anesthesiologist who met me and went out my general health. After peeing one more time I was taken into surgery.
My only other surgery was my c section. This room was smaller, and therefore more scary and foreboding than the c section room. I didn't cry this time luckily (I pretty much cried for 3 hours before my c section). The anesthesiologist knew I do not like needles so he tried to do it without my seeing anything which was awesome of him. I know that the drugs they were giving me weren't going to make me completely knocked out but more floaty and uncaring so I wasn't sure if I should fall asleep or not though but then the nurse told me to close my eyes because she was going to be turning on a bright light. I took that as my signal to go ahead and snooze.
Next thing I know, I hear a whirring noise and the room seemed to be full of a lot of people. I wasn't sure if there was something over my eyes or I just didn't open them because I could see the bright light but I think that there was something there. I luckily managed to snooze through the worst of the noises, I didn't have to listen to any cracking or anything but, just as I woke up was when the dentist was saying that he didn't think he could get my impacted tooth out. The nurse was very encouraging to him but those are NOT the words you want to hear when you wake up during surgery. I know that the drugs were still working for making me floaty and uncaring because if I was with it, I would have completely FREAKED OUT when I heard the dentist say that. After a bunch of whirring and yanking, they turned off the light, pulled the thing off my eyes (if there was something ) and wheeled me into recovery.
They called my husband, in the way home we got the drugs, a giant shamrock shake to share (I ate with a spoon), and our daughter from daycare. My mouth was so frozen that he had to check each time I swallowed a pill to see if it was still there! It took a few times to actually swallow the T3 because it was so hard to sip water. I think my husband had fun watching me "eat" the milkshake because I couldn't feel anything so I had milkshake running all down my face. I ended up using many MANY paper towels until about 10:00 pm to mop up my chin from milkshake and drool.
I'm on the mend now and I can truly say that this is much more pleasant than recovering from a c section even though the end result is not nearly as satisfying as a c section.

God has given us life, which is itself celebration grounds. Life can be full of highs and lows, but there also many occasions for celebration. People tend to remember happy times in life and that is why we have birthdays and birthdays.

Calling Out the Church
Most of the time when, we hear the word "church," we think of the building we go to on Sundays. But, that's not how Jesus used the word "church" when He first spoke it. When Peter openly declared that Jesus was the Christ, the son of the living God (Matthew 16:13-16), Jesus blessed Peter and … Read more Calling Out the Church

A lot of phone calls and initial consultations I receive from those who have been involved in a motor vehicle accident are what does "no-fault" mean? Although somewhat self-explanatory, No-Fault refers to the type of benefits that are available to a person with injuries arising out of the maintenance or use of a motor vehicle regardless of who was at fault for the car accident. No-Fault benefits also arise from pedestrian accidents such as parking lot accidents as well. No-Fault benefits come from your own car insurance.
In the event that you are involved in a car accident which requires medical attention or wage loss, it's important to contact your own car insurance company and notify them. You will typically be required to give a recorded statement regarding the accident. It's at this time, that a lot of people call an attorney to see what their rights are. Once a claim has been submitted to your own car insurance, you will be assigned a claim number and given an adjuster to oversee your file. If you require medical assistance, provide the claim number to the appropriate clinic and your own insurance will pay for the treatment so long as it's related to injuries stemming from the motor vehicle accident and the treatment does not exceed $20,000.00. It is important to understand that No-Fault medical coverage caps out at $20,000.00 per vehicle unless you have stacking coverage, which isn't common. No-Fault will also reimburse for medical mileage so it's important to keep track of your mileage going to and from medical appointments.
In addition to medical coverage, No-Fault also protects the injured by providing wage loss coverage if the motor vehicle accident requires the injured to miss work and this includes missing time to attend medical visits. Minnesota law provides that wage loss will be covered at a rate of 85 percent of the weekly wage. Once again, this is also capped at $20,000.00. Lastly, No-Fault benefits also provide what's called replacement services. In the event that the motor vehicle accident creates injuries that prohibit a person from shoveling their driveway or mowing their lawn and they need to hire someone to complete those tasks, No-Fault will reimburse the injured those costs.
It's important to understand that these benefits can be cut off short of those caps if your car insurance company believes you no longer need treatment related to the accident. If they believe this, they will likely send the injured to an Independent Medical Examination (IME) with a doctor that they choose. A report will come from this visit and if the IME doctor believes your injuries are no longer related to the accident, then No-Fault will not take care of any additional treatment. It's also at this time where the injured consults an attorney to understand their rights. If the injured requires more additional medical treatment following the cut-off of the benefits, they will need to proceed to what's called No-Fault Arbitration to determine who will be responsible for paying for the treatment.

Miners – Moisture Effect Lipstick in Kiss Me Quick
This post may contain affiliate links.
When I think of the brand Miners it reminds me of the very first eyeshadow palette I had as a little girl (a cast-off from my Mum!), it was a pale blue duo and I used it when I was dressing up. Fast forward several years and Miners is making a comeback!
This is Moisture Effect Lipstick in Kiss Me Quick. There are currently only 3 different shades of Moisture Effect Lipstick available, all fairly bright shades, and they're priced at just £3.99 each.
Kiss Me Quick is a bright corally red shade with a creamy texture. It looks quite a matt texture in the tube, but once you apply it it's quite creamy and it has a lovely fruity strawberry flavour.
You can see from the image above that Moisture Effect Lipstick in Kiss Me Quick is very vibrant. It's not the sort of colour I would normally choose, and I've had mixed reactions from people while I've been wearing it – a couple of friends said it looked nice but very different to what I usually wear, and my husband said it was too bright.
I have found it to be very long lasting though, whilst drinking from a bottle of water it didn't leave any residue on the top of the bottle, and I only had to top up my lip colour a couple of times during the day after eating.
I've been pleasantly surprised with this Miners lipstick, I wasn't sure I liked the colour when I saw it in the tube but I think it looks better on the lips and it's great value too.
If you're interested in trying some of Miners' other products why not have a read of my review of Miners Tin O'Tint Strawberry from September?
UPDATE 6th August 2017 – Sadly Miners Moisture Effect Lipstick in Kiss Me Quick is no longer available. If you're looking for a good long-lasting coral red lipstick you might be interested in the Max Factor Marilyn Monroe Lipstick Collection that I reviewed last year.

Solving challenging business problems requires new ways of thinking. We leverage a broad range of unique methodologies to solve business problems.
Customer-centric transformation starts with changing mindsets inside the organization and changing the way an organization thinks about its customer interactions.
A strategy isn't useful if it gets tucked away in a file cabinet. We have successfully implemented customer experience strategies to deliver business results and we can do the same for you. Churchill said it best: "However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results."
Your customers are human beings, not data points, and they deserve a seat at the table. Change works best when it happens WITH people, not TO people. We partner with your team to design the future.
My interest in bringing empathy and customer perspective into the business world came early in my life when I was growing up in Moscow. Russians like my grandfather built spaceships and other great things, but the art and science of simple product/service design was virtually non-existent (except for the spaceships; those are pretty amazing.) My early interactions with a customer-unfriendly system fuels my passion to create extraordinary experiences for others.
I have over 15 years of practice in the financial services industry, where I served as a market strategist and customer experience expert. I am also a Certified Professional Coach specializing in change and transition management. Although I am still unable to build any kind of a spaceship (that gene did not get passed down to me from my Russian grandfather), I can help you grow your business through innovative and unique customer experiences.
I am a cultural anthropologist with a passion for understanding patterns in human behavior. I seek to discover why people do what they do, especially since they don't always do what they say!
At RedSquared Consulting, I have the opportunity to apply my ethnographic expertise to help our clients understand their customers' needs, behaviors, and motivations. Prior to RedSquared, I was an experience design strategist at a Fortune 200 company and an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago, where I also earned my PhD in anthropology. I love to write, to teach, and to inspire, and I have published widely in peer-reviewed journals and books. When I am not championing the needs of customers, you'll probably find me either researching or getting ready for my next great trip.
Keith Winn served as a senior financial services executive for more than 30 years. Most recently he was Senior Vice President of Member Experience at USAA. There he directed a business unit accountable for delivery of USAA's banking, insurance and investment products across all channels.
Since then, he has provided advice to participants in financial services and healthcare industries. He has applied his domain expertise to a broad set of functions, including president of a $100+ billion asset management company, Fortune 200 company operational risk committee chairman and chief operating officer of a wealth management business.
Keith and his wife, Linda, have devoted much of their lives to children and families at risk. They served as foster parents for almost ten years as well as holding board positions for foster care agencies. Today Keith is Vice-Chairman of the Board for MedShare International, a humanitarian agency that has delivered medical supplies and equipment to approximately 100 countries.
My path has involved developing computer systems for domains as varied as military logistics, electrical power, medical imaging, and financial services. Along the way, my resume has accumulated the usual alphabet soup of programming tools (one of them even became my nickname).
In each space, my work has had a common theme: take something complicated, and find a way to make it simpler. That was true for systems used by other programmers or user interfaces for novices. Always, the goal is the same: find out what the customer needs, and simplify, simplify, simplify.
Michael Powell is a cultural anthropologist and experience strategist, who translates human insights into more compelling customer experiences, strategic innovation and organizational change. Prior to RedSquared, he spent more than a decade leading research efforts at Shook Kelley, an award-winning strategy, design and branding firm based in Los Angeles. He has also worked on consulting projects and ethnographic research in a wide range of industries, as well as co-founding a startup food retailer brand.
Michael is a published writer and speaker on culture and design, for both business and academic audiences. He also frequently works on non-profit projects, applying his unique experience in research, branding and design to tackle important public policy issues. He has a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Rice University, and lives in Houston, Texas.
As an advocate for understanding and designing toward the Customer Experience, I've made it my mission to help companies meet their strategic goals. I do so by making the invisible visible through research, making the complex simple through my unique, human-centered perspective, and bringing understanding and meaning through expert facilitation.
With over a decade of designing successful products and strategies for clients of all shapes and sizes, my passion lies in helping these partners think holistically about driving, and enacting, real change. By bringing the human experience to the surface, I help businesses not only increase their bottom line, but also their longevity through customer loyalty.
As founding partner of CX by Design, my mission is to identify nuggets of opportunity within an organization, reorient its existing systems and structures to improve the human experience, help others extend their thinking, and drive material business advantage.
A passionate believer in holistic strategy and design, I use my extensive business background and deep-rooted expertise in Customer Experience and the Design Thinking methodology to help companies understand, define, and discover opportunities at the intersection of business, people, and technology.
Having designed, built, and successfully sold several companies, I help businesses shape abstract concepts into concrete online and offline products & services that respond to the needs and motivations of real people.
When not solving strategic challenges, I can be found in pursuit of good coffee everywhere.

HONG KONG (Reuters Breakingviews) - A Japan-Korea trade dispute is muddling the memory chip sector's outlook. Quarterly earnings at the $48 billion SK Hynix plunged 88% from a year earlier. Yet its shares rose on hopes that Tokyo's recent technology export curbs on South Korea will depress supply and lift prices. The risks of weaker demand and supply chain ruptures suggest any rally has weak legs.
On Thursday, the world's second largest memory-chip maker said earnings in the three months to June slumped to 537 billion won ($455 million), missing the average analyst forecast from Refinitiv by some 15%. Average selling prices for SK Hynix's memory chips, which are used in smartphones, servers and other devices, fell by a quarter compared to a year earlier, as demand badly undershot the company's expectations.
However, shares of the Seoul-listed chipmaker promptly rose as much as 3% on the news. Even before this rally, investors have added roughly $4 billion to SK Hynix's market capitalisation since the start of the month, when Tokyo tightened curbs on local exports of three vital semiconductor-making materials to South Korea – ostensibly in response to Seoul's Supreme Court rulings to order some Japanese companies to compensate forced wartime labourers. Shareholders are now betting that a looming shortage would prop up prices. Indeed, executives at SK Hynix said the company would cut investment and production.
True, Japanese suppliers accounted for 70% to 90% of global production of the materials in question; spot prices for so-called DRAM chips spiked in the week following Tokyo's decision to erect trade barriers. Even so, just a fraction of buying is done on the spot markets, so it's not clear what the impact on fixed prices will ultimately be. Industry tracker TrendForce estimates chipmakers are still sitting on over three months' worth of inventories, which will continue to squeeze prices.
More generally, demand still looks tepid. Handset shipments are on track to shrink again this year, while improvements in the PC and data-centre markets also look muted. Absent a quick resolution between Japan and South Korea, sourcing alternative supplies outside of Japan could be costly and highly disruptive for the likes of SK Hynix and rival Samsung Electronics too. Investor optimism seems misplaced.

Gentlemen, I'm an F.N.G. here. I never have used inSSIDer before. I'd like to kill a doubt.
Does inSSIDer manage wireless networks? I mean... I'm using it here, and it found wireless networks, but couldn't connect. Is it possible?
Sorry if I'm using the wrong application for this task.
If anyone you can help me to find another way to connect via software... I'd be glad.
Let me explain my situation:
I am working on a laptop that's giving me too much trouble. It's a Philco PHN 14118. Its WLan adapter is an RTL8187SE (I didn't find any utility for this adapter, even at realtek website). I'm searching for some software that can detect & connect by itself.
So... that's how I got here. I'm working on it for 5 days and I didn't succeed.
Thanks to everyone who can help me.

This is a photo of my sister taken in 1934, before I was born and in a rental house I never knew. This is not about nostalgia. It is about the photographer.
The photo is one of the best portraits I have ever seen, a masterpiece perfectly lit, mainly by the natural light from the window, but also from the opposite side by a diffuse light or perhaps a reflector. Sunlight falls on the window frame, but not directly on her where it would only wash out her pale skin tones. The camera angle is above her, looking down, emphasizing her vulnerable smallness. Her leg and white shoe stand out starkly against the shadowy underside of the bench that shows no distracting detail. The scene is carefully arranged with her doll on the radiator cover and a plant on the windowsill, both only partly shown to suggest, but not to distract. A fresh white doily brightens the radiator cover and adds interest. The dark window frame and the doily edge forms a giant arrow pointing to her, the center of our attention. Her face is precisely at the one-third intersection that naturally draws our attention. Her eyes are looking to the side with guarded amusement. She is enjoying the procedure, but is not relaxed, trying her best to follow every instruction. Her details are in sharp focus. She must have been told to hold still while it was taken (we all were for any photo), but also the camera was of professional quality, much better than the common types used for snapshots. The surrounding area only inches away is slightly blurry, another way of subtly directing our attention. Whoever took the photo knew exactly what aperture would give the proper depth of focus, and he nailed it.
The anonymous photographer was almost certainly a man. The photograph is marked "Frank & Seder," a department store at the foot of 69th Street near the transportation terminal (see 10/1/2005 posting), and also at 11th and Market Street in Philadelphia.
In those days, department stores would send out a photographer to take a portrait in your own home. They would walk into a strange house, lugging all of their equipment, glance around, and quickly come up with a setting. Most of the subjects must have been children with all sorts of temperaments. My sister was obviously delighted with the attention and the chance to dress up on an ordinary weekday morning. I can imagine my mother saying, "Hurry, hurry. The photographer will be here soon," just like in a Bobbsey Twins book.
He had to get the children to sit still while directing their eyes away from the camera. "Watch the birdie" referred to a stuffed bird on a stick that was held high and to the side, but I remember from my own sessions a puppet in the photographer's outstretched hand while the other hand tripped the shutter by a cable extending to the large camera on a sturdy tripod.
I suspect the payment was only for the finished photo, and if it did not come out, the photographer did not get paid. It was a tough way to make a living, working out of your car from a list of addresses, relying only on your talent and the hope your customers will appreciate it.
I digitally colorized the scanned photo—the original is black-and-white—but that was easy and took no talent on my part. All of the credit goes to the unknown master who visited the house in 1934.

Applicability of Laws and Ordinances
Index term: Indulgence
They whom God hath endued with insight will readily recognize that the precepts laid down by God constitute the highest means for the maintenance of order in the world and the security of its peoples. He that turneth away from them is accounted among the abject and foolish. We, verily, have commanded you to refuse the dictates of your evil passions and corrupt desires, and not to transgress the bounds which the Pen of the Most High hath fixed, for these are the breath of life unto all created things. The seas of Divine wisdom and Divine utterance have risen under the breath of the breeze of the All-Merciful. Hasten to drink your fill, O men of understanding! They that have violated the Covenant of God by breaking His commandments, and have turned back on their heels, these have erred grievously in the sight of God, the All-Possessing, the Most High.
Exile and imprisonment are decreed for the thief, and, on the third offence, place ye a mark upon his brow so that, thus identified, he may not be accepted in the cities of God and His countries. Beware lest, through compassion, ye neglect to carry out the statutes of the religion of God; do that which hath been bidden you by Him Who is compassionate and merciful. We school you with the rod of wisdom and laws, like unto the father who educateth his son, and this for naught but the protection of your own selves and the elevation of your stations. By My life, were ye to discover what We have desired for you in revealing Our holy laws, ye would offer up your very souls for this sacred, this mighty, and most exalted Faith.
O people of the world! Follow not the promptings of the self, for it summoneth insistently to wickedness and lust; follow, rather, Him Who is the Possessor of all created things, Who biddeth you to show forth piety, and manifest the fear of God. He, verily, is independent of all His creatures. Take heed not to stir up mischief in the land after it hath been set in order. Whoso acteth in this way is not of Us, and We are quit of him. Such is the command which hath, through the power of truth, been made manifest from the heaven of Revelation.

Critter cannon is a funny spin off of the more popular Kitten Cannon. This flash game plays the same way that Kitten Cannon does too. Shoot critters out of your cannon and see how far you can launch them. Snakes and roadkill are bad and will slow down your poor critter or even stop them dead in their tracks (in case the fall didn't already kill them), bombs and explosives normally would blow critters into millions of bloody little pieces but in this game, the bombs will send your critter further and faster so they are a good thing. Equally good are the lawn chairs. They will act as a spring board and, much like the bombs and explosives, they will bounce your critter further giving him more momentum. Now tell me what could possibly be more fun than blasting poor hapless critters out of a cannon for no apparent reason? Well, probably a lot of things are more fun but this is still a great flash game. See how far you can launch the critter!

Yo have daharo bhikkhu yunjati buddha sasane
So imam lokam pabhaseti abbha mutto' va candima.[382]
The bhikkhu who, while still young, devotes himself to the Buddha's Teaching,
illumines this world like the moon freed from a cloud. [382]
Samanera Sumana was a pupil of Venerable Anuruddha. Although he was very young, due to his past goodkammahe became an Arahant endowed with supernormal powers. Once, when his teacher Anuruddha was ill, he fetched water from the Anotatta lake, a lake which was very far away from monastery and difficult to reach. But because of his supernormal power, he was able to perform the journey through the air. Sometime later, Anuruddha took Sumana to pay homage to the Buddha at Pubbarama monastery.
At the monastery, many samaneras teased Sumana and made fun of him because he was very young. The Buddha wanted to make those samaneras see the rare qualities of Sumana. So the Buddha announced that he wanted some samaneras to get a jar of water from the Anotatta lake. However, none of them was able to undertake the job. Finally, at the request of Venerable Ananda, Sumana went to get the jar of water for the Buddha. As before, he went to the Anotatta lake and came back through the air by his supernormal power.
At the congregation of the bhikkhus in the evening, the bhikkhus told the Buddha about the wonderful trip made by Sumana. The Buddha said, 'Bhikkhus, one who practises the Dhamma zealously is capable of attaining supernormal powers, even though he is young.'
*Attachment hinders spiritual development. For this reason, Buddhism does not encourage any personality cult, however great or holy a religious teacher might be. In the Buddha's Teachings we have to work for our own emancipation without depending on others.

The case involves five men who claim to have been victims of extraordinary rendition.... They sued a San Jose Boeing subsidiary, Jeppesen Dataplan, accusing the flight-planning company of aiding the CIA in flying them to other countries and secret CIA camps where they were tortured.A year ago, the case got thrown out based on an assertion of the spurious "state secrets privilege" by the Bush team. However, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to hear an appeal brought by the ACLU. In response, the Obama team reasserted the privilege, one founded on lies, under which the Executive Branch claims the power to make an unreviewable decision that allowing the case to continue would threaten national security - without even being under any obligation to explain how or why it would do so. While theoretically courts can refuse to recognize the privilege, they rarely if ever do - so it becomes a one-size-fits-all cloak for government misconduct, including shielding itself from examination of its extraordinary rendition and torture.
Justice Department spokesman Matt Miller said
"The Justice Department will ensure the privilege is not invoked to hide from the American people information about their government's actions that they have a right to know. This administration will be transparent and open, consistent with our national security obligations."Or, more clearly, we'll tell you whatever we in our sole discretion decide you have the "right" to know.
Footnote: The link at "states secrets privilege" is to an old post with a now-defunct link to an LA Times series. But this link to a review of a recent book on the case that gave rise to the "privilege" should do.
Another Footnote: A bill has been introduced in both houses of Congress that would set limits on the use of the state secrets privilege. It would among other things require that the government at least demonstrate to a judge that there really is some jeopardy to national security involved instead of expecting the judge to accept the claim without examination of it, as usually happens now.

A Bathroom Fridge! Genius.
Well, who knew such a thing existed? Ever since I went to Las Vegas, I've lusted after a TV in my bathroom – seriously, one of the best things I've ever done was lie in the hottest, bubbliest ever bath in a sumptuous and ridiculously oversized hotel bathroom watching Jeopardy. It just felt, well, decadent. Ruined of course by the small-size towels on getting out, but that's another matter! I like the idea of a fridge in the bathroom for the same sort of decadence reasons: ideally I'd like one to keep all my beauty treats (especially organics) in tip top condition, but know it would only be a matter of time before they were all replaced with cans of diet Coke.

There is power in writing down your goals, and I have witnessed it first-hand. I started writing down my goals and dreams after reading several of Brian Tracy's books, Chalene Johnson's book, and listening to Hannah Keely's videos.
I always had yearly resolutions growing up, but nothing that I wrote down. It wasn't until 2014 that I really started focusing on what I wanted in life, and I wrote down my goals several times a year. I didn't even look back on them. In 2014, I wrote a letter to my future self that I was supposed to read in 2015.
The Power of the Future Letter
I just stumbled across that letter this weekend while cleaning out the office. The letter talked about how much happier I was as a mom and how much more I enjoyed motherhood. I paused for a moment. I was enjoying motherhood so much more than I was as a first-time mom to a two-year-old, and it wasn't because life magically got easier.

Then there was a part of how skinny I was because I had lost a lot of weight. Wrong! Another part congratulated me for being debt free. Wrong again! Maybe this writing down goals thing isn't all that beneficial. I thought for a moment.
The next part of the letter talked about how we were living in our dream house. When I wrote that letter, I had plans of building our own one story because we were struggling finding a one-story home with a large yard that had everything we needed. When I wrote that, we didn't even have plans to move. We thought we wanted to live in that house for at least five more years, but sure enough, we are living in our dream home right now. We didn't build it, but it has everything I wanted.
Then the next part of the letter talked about how my kid books were published. I had the idea for Blondie McGhee since 2012, but did not even write a single word for it until 2015. Sure enough, I have six Blondie McGhee books, with one on the way, and a picture book that wasn't even thought of until after I wrote the letter.
One of the final things I wrote was, "And guess what, you are going to Hawaii for your anniversary!" I gasped out loud and read that to my husband because at the time, we were indeed going to Hawaii in four months for our seven-year anniversary.
That statement was so dead on, and I was surprised because when I wrote that, I was three months pregnant with my second daughter. It's not like traveling was likely to happen in my near future.
Top 4 Things You Need to Know About Writing Down Goals
I share all of this with you for a few reasons –
Your dreams and goals evolve, and that's okay.
Originally, I thought I wanted a publishing contract and to build my own one story home. However, my dreams still came true, just in a different way. It is important to be open for game changers and not to be afraid to change your mind if your lifestyle or preference changes.

There is power in writing your goals and telling people your goals.
Don't underestimate the power of writing out what you want in this life and telling other people what you want. I don't necessarily believe that you are speaking your dreams to the universe so that the positivity will reflect from you and come back and hit you, or whatever some people believe. However, I do believe as Brian Tracy says, "Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy."
This quote is true for those who tell themselves they are "losers" and will never reach their goals, as well as true for those who tell themselves they will accomplish X goal. If you tell a child that they are dumb every day of their lives, then they will most likely score horribly in school and feel like a failure. That child could have been a genius, but because they heard that negative message daily, it became their truth that they held on to until they became it. The words we speak to ourselves and others are more powerful than we think.
Don't set a year expiration date on your dreams.
Had I read my letter when I was supposed to, September 2015, I would have been disappointed. At the time, I had made a few changes of being more positive, keeping a cleaner home, and even started writing the first Blondie book, but my most of my goals weren't truly fulfilled until 2016 and 2017.
As Bill Gates says, "Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years." In addition to this, I would say write out your dreams and goals for the year, and then give yourself two to three years to accomplish them.
There is no right time for writing down goals.
I wrote that letter to myself only nine months after my mom committed suicide and four months after I miscarried my 11-week baby. There will always be trials and challenges in your life. Sometimes they will be as drastic as losing a loved one, and other times they will just be annoying and frustrating, like dealing with a hard family member or surviving motherhood with a broken washing machine.
Don't let the hard times derail you from your goals and dreams. Of course, these challenges might put a damper on your progress. For example, the stress and grief of my mother's death in 2014, my grandmother's death in 2015, and then finding out I had a secret half-sister in 2016 led me to stress eating and spending and not making any progress on my weight or paying off all my debt. But, I am not giving up on that dream, and I expect 2018 will be the year that my written down goal becomes truth.
How Should You Write Down Your Goals
There are so many methods of writing down goals, so pick one that you like and don't feel like you have to stick to one method.
Hannah Keely recommended making a vision board, writing down ten goals, and then writing a letter to your future self. Rereading the letter was a lot of fun, and my husband and I are going to do that again this year.
Chalene Johnson recommends writing down your monthly goals daily without looking at what you wrote down the day before.
Daymond Johns, Shark Tank investor, also writes his goals down daily and reviews them nightly.
Brian P. Moran, author of the 12 Week Year, recommends focusing on smaller goals that can be accomplished in 12 weeks, and therefore helping you get more done the whole year.
How often do you write down your goals? Have you experienced the benefits of writing down goals?

I'm not gonna lie it was a crazy feeling reducing all of our belongings to what would fit into the back of two tiny scions and hiking it across the most of the country. . . however as I look back, it twas freeing! You see, I hate stuff. . . clutter. . . junk. . . garbage that just keeps us immobile and holds us down. Since our move I've made a huge effort to not accumulate "stuff" and as a result I feel alot more free. What sparked this random rant?

What Is Amprenavir Used For?
Amprenavir uses include the treatment of HIV and AIDS. Occasionally, a healthcare provider may prescribe amprenavir in an "off-label" fashion to prevent infection in people exposed to the HIV virus (such as those who have been stuck by a contaminated needle). Amprenavir is approved for use in adults and children as young as four years old.
What Is Amprenavir Used For? -- An OverviewAmprenavir (Agenerase®) is a prescription medication used to treat HIV and AIDS. It belongs to a group of medications known as protease inhibitors. Amprenavir is only approved for use with other HIV medications.
Amprenavir is no longer available in the United States. The manufacturer stopped making it due to low demand, since it has been largely replaced by fosamprenavir (Lexiva®), a similar medication.
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was initially reported in the United States in 1981. Since then, it has become a significant worldwide epidemic. AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Initially, an HIV infection does not usually cause any obvious symptoms (see HIV Symptoms), and most people have no idea that they have been infected with the virus, unless they happen to be tested for it. However, by killing or damaging cells of the immune system, HIV will eventually begin to progressively destroy the body's ability to fight infections and certain cancers (see AIDS Symptoms).
HIV is commonly spread through sexual contact with an infected partner. Transmission also happens through contact with infected blood, which frequently occurs among IV drug users (who share needles or syringes contaminated with blood from someone infected with the virus). Women who have HIV can transmit the virus to their babies during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding.
Amprenavir is always used as part of an HIV "cocktail." These cocktails usually consist of three or four (or sometimes five) different HIV medications (technically known as Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy, or HAART). Using a combination of medications helps to prevent the virus from becoming resistant to one or more of the drugs.
