Synthesizers and sound modulation. A conversation with Kateryna Zavoloka
Kateryna Zavoloka is an artist from Ukraine, currently living and working in Wien. She composes experimental music, with sonorities ranging from electro-acoustic sounds to IDM, ambient and even techno. She's active since 2003, having released albums on labels such as Nexsound or Zeromoon. In 2006 she started her own label, Kvitnu, for which she also produces graphic design. Zavoloka is heavily inspired by Ukrainian traditions, field-recordings and also contemporary sound design technologies, heavily using synthesizers (both hardware and software) in her music.
Do you still use field-recordings on your albums?
Yes, sometimes I use old field recordings, which I made a few years ago, or, for example, just record my voice like some phrases that I read on Syngonia album.
How did you use recordings from the Maidan protests from Kiev before moving to Wien?
During Maidan revolution me and my friends were always there mostly during nights - and we asked ourselves - "what can we do there as artists" . So I just took my small audio-video recorder and start to film everything - at first it was just like anthropological interest, I just wanted to capture the history without any intention to use those sounds. I only used a small Zoom recorder, as it is not possible to carry big equipment in this situation, if you suddenly need to run. First two months there was not very big clashes with police, but then in January 2014 the real fighting with the riot police began. Exploding fireworks and Molotov cocktails from protesters and gas grenades from police, water cannons in - 20 degrees, and after this, shotguns… With clashes with police, protesters started to take huge metal sticks and beat them onto burned buses and any metal surfaces - that sound was very powerful, like a military march and symphony to me - imagine on big square suddenly all sounds silenced and one person screams "Слава Україні! - "Glory to Ukraine" - and all the people on the square started to sing the Ukrainian national anthem. This symphony was so impressive to me - you hear those sounds all around yourself, like multi-channel powerful freedom music - that was very strong.
And just after the revolution finished I didn't think to use those field recordings, but when Russia occupied Crimea and started war in the East of Ukraine - I wanted to say something, to make like a prayer, mantra protection for my home country and composed the album called Volya, that can be translated as "Freedom" and "Will" from Ukrainian. There I used those samples, mostly as drums and combined them with synthesizers.
What are your sources of inspiration?
Everything - books, magic, music, Nature, arts, films.
Could you please describe your studio and live setup? What instruments do you use?
I like to use various sound sources in the studio and usually I don't like so much to talk about technical equipment - it vanishes some magic and mystery from the process of creation of music. I don't want to know, when musicians write on album covers which synthesizer or instrument or field recording was used for it, unless it was some very rare instrument and it is in the concept or musician wants to pay tribute to engineers.
But mostly I use and like digital hardware synthesizers: wavetable synthesizers: Waldorf Blofeld, Novation Mininova and also Waldorf Streichfett string synth, analogue: Doepfer Dark Energy, Dave Smith Tempest drum machine, various pedals and effect-processors. As for software I like Native Instruments synths and Waves plugins. If to talk about old school synthesizers I must say I have recorded, curtsy of ina-GRM, the Coupigny synthesizer, a matrix synthesizer from 60'ties.
Would you go back to arrhythmic and experimental IDM such as what is to be listened on Plavyna? I really love this record, it's been on repeat in my playlists since like forever..
I try to not look back in time and be present. Music is time, it can never be repeated. I try to experiment with everything and let my music to evolve naturally.
Do you prefer working with hardware or software? What about Ableton Live + MaxForLive devices + midi controllers?
I like both hardware and software synthesizers, I like to record acoustic and natural sounds and try to use any audio sources and not to limit myself with only analogue or just digital. I like physical modelling synthesis too.
Your compositions range from IDM to techno to ambient (or mellow noise, as in your debut, Suspenzia) to pure experimental bliss (as in your collaboration with AGF, Nature never produces the same sound twice). In this eclecticism where do you feel best, where do you feel "at home" ?
Music is like a tree. The skeleton is made by drums and melodies are the leaves. For me the most natural thing is when my music starts, for example, with a complicated industrial sound design, then airy melodies follows, then strong beats, and after all these the sound is changing into something completely different.
How was working with the legendary Aphex Twin? Will we see a future song collaboration?
He is a genius and a very kind person, it was so great to have a few shows together with him - he invited me to support his rave shows. About future collaboration - can not say anything for now.
Who are the musicians you'd like to work with ?
For now I try to have less collaborative projects. I am working at a future duo project called Cluster Lizard. It is me and Dmytro Fedorenko (Kotra), label manager of Kvitnu label. We call our music Sci-Fi techno. Cluster Lizard is about galaxies, space, esoteric, alchemy, old sci-fi movies, cyberpunk. It has a very cinematographic sound, like a soundtrack for a sci-fi movie that was never shown. Me and Dmytro are huge fans of Sci-Fi books and films since childhood. Cluster Lizard already has a debut album called "Edge of The Universe" and we are finishing the second album now. For me, Cluster Lizard is the next level of my own art evolution.
What synthesizers do you use and what is your approach in modulating sound? If you were to build your own synthesizer what functions would it have? What about granular synthesis?
As I mentioned - I like physical modelling synthesis, also I love wavetable synthesis. If I would build my synth - it would have both those synthesis for sure, and endless sampler's possibilities. First of all it would have many knobs, potentiometers and faders and would be super user friendly, so you could compose without menu diving.
What do you understand by "music for sculpture"? What implies to work for a 3D, physical object?
That composer has to be more specific. What do you want to achieve? How do you want the listener to perceive the sound? Maybe the listener needs to feel the vibrations physically?
What's your philosophy in approaching sound? Do you improvise, do you write sketches?
Music is magic and I understand and feel the Universe through it. Yes, I improvise a lot but I also write concepts and ideas before I start to record an album or composition.
Your latest release, Syngonia, is more dance-oriented than your previous albums. What drove you to use elements from techno music? What drum-machines do you use? Do you go to raves?
Yes, I really like what is going now in techno scene. I think in a way it is more experimental and innovative than some "experimental" music.
What comes next, after Syngonia?
Syngonia will be followed by an album about the Fire element. It is going to be the last in this series, dedicated to purification by the Four Elements. I am working on it now, it is almost finished.

IN just one season, JW Anderson managed to transform <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/brand/loewe">Loewe - the label at which he was appointed creative director at the end of 2013 following the departure of Stuart Vevers. His trophy T-shirts from his spring/summer 2015 debut were spotted at London Fashion Week and his leather trousers today sat happily on the front row. Already he'd managed to create "it" appeal - and such is the stamp that he's put on the brand (injecting his own cult of personality), it can be hard to remember Loewe pre-J Dubs.
This morning, he continued in that vein, this second collection an extended drilling down of his woman, who she is, what she wears, when and how. And even if she herself doesn't know, Anderson is going to tell her.
"We were trying to find the woman in winter. A bit laboratory, something future but in the reality," the designer configured of his starting point this season. There were whiffs of his eponymous line and its Eighties stance to be found here. "I do both brands. I want them to be different but want them to communicate what I feel. She [the Loewe woman] is older, harder. It's about playing," he said.
His toys of choice obviously began with leather - the remit of the luxury heritage house. He gave us mint and lilac trouser and mac combinations; blouson panelled jackets that were beautifully crafted and executed; a continuation of last season's wide-leg trouser - spotted here mostly beneath dresses in graphic green, grey or red prints. He added to that with glossy red, sophisticated navy, glistening green and pleated lamé skirts and dresses, lemon yellow funnel-neck jumpers that inflated into shape, tie details at the neck of capes and at the waist of silver pleated swaying skirts or more wide-leg trousers. It was that touch of the hand, a nod to craft.
Of course accessories played a part - an original core of the brand. "We went tougher on accessories. It's winter so you want something more robust. We were thinking about bags that fit into different periods of the day," said Anderson. They ran from handheld pochettes like little historical coin purses, to neat and compact handbags with turquoise chevron handles. Their lines continued onto the bags themselves and onto the toe caps of beautiful navy boots.
"The shoes and bags either need to contradict or work together with everything," he said of his train of thought, though quick to note that neither the clothes or accessories are more important than the other.
"There's a tension in the collection," he summed up. And no doubt, with the press raving already as they queued up to chat to the designer backstage, there'll be a tension as to who gets to wear this season first. Anderson's Loewe chapter continues with great success.

ROGER FEDERER and Andy Murray raised more than double the amount of money collected for charity last year with the success of their exhibition match earlier this month.
Andy Murray Live, presented by the SSE and set up by the Scot in 2016, raised around £300,000 in its first showing.
But Murray's charity game in Glasgow this time around saw them raise more than £700,000 with the funds being shared among charities Unicef UK and Govan based Sunny-sid3up.
The event was screened live by Eurosport, while over two-million people watched the action through Facebook Live. In addition to playing Federer, Andy also joined forces with his brother Jamie to take on Tim Henman and Mansour Bahrami in the doubles match.
The contest would be interrupted by a welcomed cameo from Still Game characters Jack and Winston, played by Ford Kiernan and Paul Reilly. The fundraising total was boosted by the addition of a glittering fundraising dinner around the show-court on the eve of the event. Will Young performed live and comedian Rob Brydon acted as MC and auctioneer.
Speaking after the match, Murray said: "It was always really important to me that this event should be for charity and so I'm really pleased we've been able to build on the success of last year and more than double what we raised.
"Being able to support children and those in need is really important to me. The money raised will make a real difference in Scotland and around the world."
Mark Devlin, Unicef UK's chief operating officer said: "We are incredibly grateful to Andy for his continued support as a Unicef ambassador to help children in danger.
"Right now, children's lives are at risk from sudden disasters, long running and overlooked conflicts around the world.
"The money raised by Andy and his fans will help Unicef provide life-saving food, clean water and vaccines, as well as education and psychological support for children affected by conflict and disaster around the world."

Title: Familiar Angel (Familiar Love #1)
Author: Amy Lane
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Release Date: October 20, 2017
Genre(s): Gay paranormal romance
Page Count: 193 pages
Reviewed by: Tosha
Heat Level: 4 flames out of 5
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
One hundred and forty years ago, Harry, Edward, and Francis met an angel, a demon, and a sorceress while escaping imprisonment and worse! They emerged with a new family—and shapeshifting powers beyond their wildest dreams.
Now Harry and his brothers use their sorcery to rescue those enslaved in human trafficking—but Harry's not doing so well. Pining for Suriel the angel has driven Harry to take more and more risks until his family desperately asks Suriel for an intervention.
In order for Suriel to escape the bindings of heaven, he needs to be sure enough of his love to fight to be with Harry. Back when they first met, Harry was feral and angry, and didn't know enough about love for Suriel to justify that risk. Can Suriel trust in Harry enough now to break his bonds of service for the boy who has loved his Familiar Angel for nearly a century and a half?
This was such an amazing read. I truly enjoyed this book so much. Once I started this book I could not put it down. It was just that good.
Harry, Edward, and Francis at a young age figured out that there is cruel people in the world. People who will use and abuse you for their own greed for money and for their own cruel pleasure. Being the oldest two Harry and Edward made a pack that they would do whatever was possible to get out of the brothel where they have been used many times over before that pain, heartache, and abuse can reach and touch their youngest brother Francis. When it becomes apparent that Cass (the man who has caused all their torture) has set his sights on Francis, Harry and Edward know that it is time to run.
What neither of them expected was to run into a scenario that was about to change their lives forever. When they ran, they ended up in the middle of something magical and out of this world. This is where they meet who becomes their mother and father, Emma and Leonard.
It is hard to trust the unknown but that is exactly what these three boys do when they accept what turns out to be an amazing gift that Emma gives them. Not only do they accept the ability to be able to shift and become a familiar and the Magic that comes along with it but they also accept the amazing gift of family. Something they never thought they would have.
Now 140 years later Harry is starting to get reckless and not heed the danger that he is constantly in so his family intervenes and calls down the one person that could heal the rest of Harry's heartache from the past….Suriel, one of the angels that watches over this family.
With the possibility of Suriel and Harry finally admitting their feelings for the other, life for both of these men becomes not only better but in some ways worse.
What will happen when a human and an angel fall for one another? Can they find a way to be together or is it all just a pipe dream?
This book was full of excitement and adventure. Not to mention danger. Any Lane did an incredible job on this book. I really hope she is going to write Edward and Francis' stories because if I had to guess Jose would be some incredible reading also. This is definitely a book on my highly recommended read list.

Verses unsung
Beat against the walls
And subside.
The walls deride
Their frail attempts
To see the light
Of day. They
Flare up each day
Only to be extinguished
By the coldness
Hours fly, shadows
Change, while within
A wry colorlessness
Reigns. Unsung verses
Gather in heaps
On the cold floor,
Awaiting release –
Verses made captive by
Time and circumstances,
Waiting for Time
To set them free
Again. Insane urges,
Meanwhile, implore them
To beat and beat against
Cold walls and implode
To lie as ashes in heaps
In an effort to find release.

But I"m over the whole scene! Is it bad that many of my clothes I buy in a red shopping cart with my Market Pantry tortilla chips and Windex? Maybe!
Those pants are hot---you should totally get them. J/K. I applaud you for a. being able to fit into them---they really don't look bad on you at all---it's just the pants are just a wrong, wrong, wrongity mess of wrongness!! and b. I'm not sure who could--or would--be able to pull those bad boy's off!

What is Labor Day?
Labor Day is a federal holiday. All Government offices, schools and organizations and many businesses are closed. But, really, what is Labor Day?
Labor Day is a holiday in the United States that is dedicated to workers across the country. The intention of the holiday is to recognize the contributions that laborers make to the United States as a whole. The public holiday always falls on the first Monday in September – this year it is Monday, September 7th. Interestingly, one of key reasons for choosing to celebrate on the first Monday in September was to add a holiday in the long gap between Independence Day and Thanksgiving.
The first Labor Day was actually held in 1882 and it became a federal holiday in 1894. It was originally envisioned that the day would be filled with street parades to allow the public to appreciate the work of the trade and labor organizations. A festival was often held to amuse local workers and their families. These traditions have changed over the years. Now Labor Day is viewed as the last big hurrah of summer and a busy travel weekend. In fact, according to AAA, 35.5 million Americans, will travel over this coming holiday weekend. An estimated 87% of travelers will get where they're going by car (lots of eyes to see those Sponsor-A-Highway signs); 7% will fly and 5% by other modes of transportation, including bus and rail.
So there you have it – Labor Day in a nutshell. Just another Fun Fact from Adopt-A-Highway Litter Removal Service of America.
Back to School Safety
As summer draws to an end and the classroom bell rings in the new school year, 55 million children across the United States will be heading back to school. Of that total, AAA estimates that 13% of students walk or bike to school. Always in late August/September, road travel increases and traffic patterns shift, making this a dangerous time of year for both drivers and pedestrians. Here are some safety tips that parents can use to help get your kids safely to and from school:
- Practice the route with your children
- Teach them to always use the same route, no shortcuts
- Cross streets only at crosswalks, preferably with crossing guards
- Always use left-right-left rule when crossing the street
- Put away the cell phone – distracted walking/biking can be as dangerous as distracted driving
- Walk in a group
- Don't wear headphones
- Bikers should obey traffic laws just like vehicles
- If riding a bike or scooter, always wear a helmet
- Younger children should be taught to walk bikes across the street
- And, always Adopt-A-Highway's favorite tip – Don't Litter
Every child deserves a safe route to school – we can all help by taking a little extra care and paying closer attention this time of year.
Sponsor A Highway Spotlight: The Crab Cooker
With locations in both Newport Beach (since 1951) and Tustin, The Crab Cooker is an institution in Southern California. Eating at The Crab Cooker is like going back in time to the days when every beach town had a place where all the locals and tourists could get great food at a moderate price. The outside of the restaurant is painted in bright red. Inside the restaurant, the decoration is a collection of unique items ranging from paintings by famous artists, theater chandeliers, pots and pans, a wrought-iron gate, nautical equipment – and a giant shark. The restaurant is known for its friendly service and casual atmosphere – you eat off of paper plates.
The Crab Cooker's "World's Best" Manhattan-style clam chowder is fittingly named, and when combined with a loaf of fisherman's bread just simply cannot be beat. Other specialties include skewers of scallops, crab and lobster, oysters, crab or shrimp cocktail, salmon fillet and other fresh fish.
The company slogan – "Eat Lots A Fish!" – says it all. We at Adopt-A-Highway may be a little biased, but we suggest if you are anywhere in SoCal, a stop at The Crab Cooker is well worth it!
STOP on RED
Is saving a few seconds of travel time worth the potentially deadly price of running a red light?
August 2-8th is National Stop on Red Week, which is a one week awareness campaign, sponsored by the National Coalition for Safer Roads (NCSR). This week provides an important chance to promote intersection safety. NCSR is partnering with organizations and communities all over the U.S. to raise awareness about the hundreds of unnecessary deaths and injuries that are the result of red light running accidents each year. Some sobering facts about red light running include:
- Nationwide, more than 3.7 million drivers ran a red light in 2014
- In 2013, 697 people were killed and an estimated 127,000 were injured in crashes that involved red light running
- Drivers most frequently run red lights in the afternoon, with 30% of all red light running violations in 2014 occurring between 1 pm – 5 pm
- Friday proved to be the worst day for intersection safety in 2014 – safety cameras caught 596,518 total red light running violations – while Sunday saw the fewest violations, with 473,695 total
- Memorial Day weekend was the highest ranked holiday travel period, with 37,800
- One in three Americans know someone who has been injured or killed as a result of somebody running a red light
- About half of the deaths in red light running crashes are pedestrians, bicyclists and occupants in other vehicles that are hit by the red light runners
Intersection safety is an extremely important aspect of road safety in every community. Safety is the responsibility of every driver, every day. Adopt-A-Highway Litter Removal is all about road safety and we are happy to spread NCSR's message of "STOP on RED"! Really, is a few minutes' worth the risk?
Drowsy Driving
Are you tired? Did you realize that being tired on the roads can impact your driving ability? Sleep deprivation and fatigue make lapses of attention more likely to occur, and can play a major role in behavior that leads to crashes. Drowsy driviny is dangerous to you and others on the road. In fact, being awake for 18 hours is equal to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08%, the equivalent to being legally drunk. Research has identified young males, shift workers, commercial drivers and people with untreated sleep disorders or with short-term or chronic sleep deprivation as being at the highest risk for a fall-asleep crash. According to the National Sleep Foundation's Sleep in America poll, 60% of Americans have driven while feeling sleepy and 37% admit to actually having fallen asleep at the wheel in the past year. Are you at risk? Some simple suggestions before "hitting the road":
- Get adequate sleep—most adults need 7-9 hours to maintain proper alertness during the day
- On long drives, schedule proper breaks—about every 100 miles or 2 hours during long trips
- Arrange for a travel buddy—someone to talk with and share the driving
- Avoid alcohol and sedating medications—check your labels or ask your doctor
Adopt-A-Highway helps keep America's highways clean, please everybody promise to get some rest!
Distracted Driving – Again!
Distracted Driving is a term that is now used a lot! Why? Because it is deadly and because we are parents of teens! Distracted Driving is broader than just texting when driving, it is:
Any activity that could divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving. All distractions endanger driver, passenger, and bystander safety.
These types of distractions include:
- Texting
- Using a cell phone or smartphone
- Eating and drinking
- Talking to passengers
- Grooming
- Reading, including maps
- Using a navigation system
- Watching a video
- Adjusting a radio, CD player, or MP3 player
The reason text messaging gets so much attention is that it requires visual, manual, and cognitive attention, making texting by far the most deadly distraction. Here are a few statistics that should scare all of us:
- An estimated 10% of drivers less than 20 years old involved in fatal crashes were reported as "distracted" at the time of the accident.
- Drivers in their 20s are responsible for about 27% of the distracted drivers in fatal crashes.
- Five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road when texting. If traveling at 55mph, that is driving 100 yards or the length of a football field with your eyes closed or blindfolded.
Currently, 46 states as well as D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands ban text messaging for all drivers. Of the 4 states without an all driver texting ban, 2 prohibit text messaging by novice drivers and one restricts school bus drivers from texting. For information on your state's distracted driving laws go to distraction.gov
At Adopt-A-Highway we are all about road safety! In our Blogs we hope to inform you on ways to stay safe behind the wheel and provide information that can be shared with your friends, kids and other family members to keep them safe as well. We hope that it is useful and that when you are out on the roadways you will support those that support us – our incredible Sponsor-A-Highway sponsors!

Avoid Parking Lot Mishaps
Most of us have had a fender bender or bump in a parking lot sometime in our driving career.
Maybe it is because we are running errands that we have done so often we get a little relaxed in that Trader Joe's parking lot. No matter the reason here are some simple steps to avoid those parking lot mishaps:
Check the other cars before getting in your vehicle – are there other people loading their items in the car, somebody getting in the car? If you survey your immediate area, you'll be aware of where other cars may be pulling out.
Use the rear view mirror, camera and your eyes – don't rely on just one method – to make sure there is no person or car in your way as you back up.
Keep your foot OFF the gas when backing out of a space – did you know cars in the aisle have the right of way? It is up to you to stop pulling out before a collision.
Be on the lookout for distracted pedestrians – people are often multi-tasking when in the parking lots – looking for keys, texting, corralling kids – they may not see you, so be sure you see them by being extra alert.
Move slowly – take the extra time to go slow in parking lots, it is a sure way to save on a new bumper.
If the worst happens and somebody is injured in an accident, call for medical attention. If you are involved in a minor mishap, pull into an empty parking spot, take pictures of the damage and exchange insurance information with the other driver. That is why we have insurance!
Just some helpful hints from your friends at Adopt-A-Highway Litter Removal Service of America.

Welcome to the Official Attendee Housing Site for the 19th International Conference on Neurology and Neurological Disorders that will be held in Melbourne, Australia
Accommodations will be provided at the Conference Venue.
Venue: To Be Announced
Address: To Be Announced
Conference Dates: Nov 04-05, 2019
Melbourne, the capital of the state of Victoria, Australia, is located at the head of Port Phillip Bay, on the south-eastern coast. It is the core of an extensive metropolitan area, with a population of more than 1,000,000. In Australia, it is second only to Sydney in population, and there is a good-natured rivalry between the two cities.
Melbourne city has many beautiful parks, and the person with an eye for architectural detail and history can find much that is varied and attractive. Melbourne has a reputation for conservatism and financial soundness attributes that have contributed to its growth and are revealed by the burgeoning skyline of the central city and the rapidly expanding eastern suburbs.
The expansion of Melbourne from its origins at the mouth of the Yarra River to its present shape displays a strong correlation with the geology and drainage of the land. West of the original city site, basalt flows during the Cenozoic Era filled the existing valleys and left flat, uniform plains. The eastern region, however, consists of undulating and dissected beds of sandstones, shales, and conglomerates laid down in the Silurian.
Not surprisingly, the development of Melbourne has been mainly eastward into the broad reaches of land between Darebin Creek, the Plenty and Yarra rivers, and Koonung and Gardiners creeks. In a strikingly asymmetrical fashion.
Melbourne's weather results from the eastward flow of high-pressure cells separated by low-pressure troughs. These patterns follow a course that passes south of the continent in summer and over northern Victoria in winter.

anzeige / paid collaboration with femSense – thank you!
The contraceptive pill and I. We've had a grand time, haven't we? I still remember the day my doctor first gave me the pill and the utter pride I felt that day. However, as you get older, things begin to change. So do dinner table conversations with friends. Whereas we used to laugh and laugh about that one wild SpongeBob episode where Thaddeus suddenly turns pretty, we now often turn to fertility and reproductive health; what would we do if we were to get pregnant? What does it feel like when you ovulate? And why does your discharge always change throughout the month?
We still laugh about childish things, but reproductive health has also become a big part of our lives. One that we take seriously. When I started opening up about the topic on Instagram, the feedback I received was tremendous. So many of you asked me about cycle-tracking, coming off the pill and contraception in general. This is why I am very happy to have teamed up with a local start-up to answer your questions regarding women's health and also introduce a cycle tracker with a hidden bonus ;)
Disclaimer: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I am solely talking about my personal experiences with the pill and cycle tracking.
Coming Off The Pill: Your Questions Answered
How long were you on the pill? When did you start taking it?
I was started taking the pill when I was 14 years old and started taking it right after. I was constantly on it for about 8 years and only switched brands a couple of times in between because I was never feeling too well on it. After I first went off for a couple of months, my period got really heavy and I almost couldn't bear the pain anymore. So I went to a new doctor and she ordered me to get back on the pill again. About two years ago I decided enough was enough and skipped if for good.
My doctor prescribed me the pill because of the pain. I would like to know if I am the only one.
You definitely are not the only one. As I said, I also went on the pill to combat the intense pain I was feeling whenever I had my period. This is also why I went back on again after ditching it for the first time. I only wanted something to ease the pain – and ease the pain it did. As far as I have experienced, the contraceptive pill gets prescribed for a number of factors and way too easily. Be it acne, weight gain, pain or mood swings – the pill is usually the first thing recommended. There are other fixes as well, though. What helped me a lot with my pain, for example, is supplementing with magnesium, CBD oil, and baths.
Did you have weight fluctuations while taking it or while getting off it?
I did see a difference in water retention and also the way my body is shaped. My breasts obviously grew a lot when I was on the pill and I am sad to report that I lost all of that after getting off it again. However, I also see my whole body being a lot less "watery" and I feel like my metabolism works much better now that I am not taking it anymore.
Did you experience any side effects/changes after going off the pill?
The first few months were rough in terms of my skin. I got awful acne and had to combat hair loss and very fragile fingernails after getting off the pill. Also, my period-pain came back again and I had intermenstrual bleeding about every other month. The first few months were weird. My period wasn't regular, my nipples were swollen and I felt nauseous all the time. One more thing I'd like to add is that my main reason for going off the pill was the fact that I felt depressed and anxious all the time. I did not feel like myself anymore and wanted my own emotions back. Of course, that also affected my mood and personality within the first few months of getting off the pill.
How long did it take for your cycle to become normal/regular again?
All in all, I think it took my body about 1 – 1,5 years to completely normalize again after having been on the contraceptive pill for so long. Now, my cycle is 100% regular and I could even tell you on the spot the exact moment I am ovulating or starting my period. It's beautiful to be so in sync with your body and to feel everything that is going on inside you so deeply. I have always felt a bit distanced from myself.
Which contraceptive method are you using right now? Are you not afraid of getting pregnant? I'm taking the pill solely because of the security it provides me with.
At the moment, I am solely using my cycle trackers and condoms. However, I am in a stable and constant relationship and my partner and I have openly discussed the possibility of a pregnancy and its effects on our lives. I am 100% that we will be able to deal with anything to come. I am fully aware, though, that this experience would be totally different for me if I were in a different relationship or single.
How did you prepare for coming off the pill?
When I went off the pill I immediately downloaded a cycle tracker to have a better understanding of my body, its reactions and the way my cycle manifests itself in my mood and health. I prepared by reading a bunch of books/articles on the topic and consulted my doctor about my idea.
Cycle Tracking With femSense
As I have mentioned before, the most important part for me when coming off the pill was learning about my cycle and getting to know my body better. I wanted to tap into an entirely new sense of self and so I did. So when I started to write down everything that was going on in my body and soul, I started to realize reoccurring patterns in my behavior, cravings and also bodily functions during the months.
The femSense app helps me to track my menstrual flow, mood, sleep and symptoms in order to analyze my cycle and get a better understanding of fertile and non-fertile days. Funny thing is: I always thought that I was fertile 24/7 all year round. However, a woman is only fertile on about 4 days per cycle. And now, after months of tracking my cycle, I can even feel my ovulation. I can sense it in my body and that is such a beautiful thing to be so in tune with your entire self.
Before I used to always talk myself down when I was having cravings during the month. However, now I know that I always have 1-2 really high caloric days right before my ovulation. It probably happens because my body wants to prepare itself properly for a possible pregnancy. Whenever I feel a symptom flaring up, I double-check my femSense app to see how far I am in my cycle and usually, that gives me a pretty good idea of why I am experiencing a certain symptom in my body.
For The Future: From Cycle Tracker to Kinderwunsch
I know there are plenty of cycle trackers on the market and some people even like to jot down their symptoms into their bullet-journals instead. What makes femSense so unique, though, is the fact that they are the only ones that not only help you in getting to know your cycle but also supply you with the first step towards having a family. I am by no means in a position where I want to have a kid or family. However, I know that some of you are. And this is why I also briefly want to talk to you about the Kinderwunsch option in the app.
When you are ready, upgrade the app to "Kinderwunsch" and use the intelligent patch to confirm ovulation. You will then stick the plaster under your armpit from where it measures your temperature throughout the ovulation period to give you a perfectly accurate understanding of when it's best to conceive. I tried the patch out of curiosity. And let me tell you, I was absolutely amazed by the possibility to read your body temperature with your phone through the NFC-chip in the plaster. It is a totally natural way to get to know your body even better and prepare you for your future.

The Credit Condition in Austin
Austin, dubbed the Live Music Capital of the World, is becoming one of the fastest-growing metro regions in the U.S. While the impressive music scene, booming job market, and lip-smacking Tex-Mex options may help the local economy prosper, it's also causing a surge in real estate pricing and living expenses. With the median price of a single-family home now selling above the national average, it's no wonder that Austin residents are averaging a low credit score of 682 and why they need credit repair. The home of SXSW pales in comparison to surrounding cities like Georgetown, TX, with a score of 724 and Cedar Park, with a score of 716. There's a need for credit repair in Austin.
How is Credit Calculated?
The scoring standards come from FICO®, a formula used by credit card issuers, lenders, and other creditors to evaluate how likely it is that you'll pay your bills on time and in full. When assessing your credit risk, the FICO® system conducts an audit of your payment history, debt ratio, length of credit history, new credit, credit mix, and accounts owed, to calculate a number between 300 and 850. If you reside in the Austin metro area and are dealing with poor credit, there are a number of credit repair solutions designed to give you financial freedom that tastes as sweet as all the charcoal-glazed-barbecue that Austin Texas cuisine has to offer.
Having bad credit doesn't mean you need to carry around the stigma of being irresponsible. Unforeseen life events, such as a medical procedure that delivered a mountain of bills, can happen to anyone and cause financial hardship. Even mistakes from our youth can follow us into adulthood and negatively impact our credit scores. Despite how you arrived at your current score, our credit repair Austin services will ensure you continue to cheer on the University of Texas Longhorns and be greeted by Stevie Ray Vaughan's glorious bronze statue.
The Credit Inside Scoop
It's easy to get caught up in the urban bustle of Austin and max out your credit card on a new ride or splurge on a kitchen remodel that ends with an introduction to a determined third-party debt collector which might force you to repair your credit. With each new purchase comes an electric joy that pulses through your body like a sugar rush. However, we often overlook the possible repercussions that accompany each purchase or financial decision we make. Lenders and creditors use these opportunities as a way to gauge your level of reliability and the likelihood that you'll make timely payments for loaned money.
Common mistakes that lead to bad scores:
- Habitually late on payments
- Filing for bankruptcy
- Having an account charged off
- Defaulting on a loan
- Closing old lines of credit
- Constantly maxing out credit cards

{the beginning of the end}
it's no secret that i'm not a fan of camping.
when ben and i were dating seriously, we discussed the fact that i'm a self-proclaimed 'indoor-girl', and i asked if this was something that could potentially damage our bright and shiny possible future.
{side note: my definition of 'indoor girl' is this:
- an absolute lover of the outdoors and nature, until it requires me to:
- sleep on anything aside from a mattress and box springs.
- sleep/eat/live inside four walls made of material that cannot provide protection from inclement weather, dangerous 4-legged predators, or shriek-inducing creepy crawly things (when the enter/exit door is left unzipped, of course)
- dig a hole in the wilderness, or hover over a non-flushing, fly-covered latrine, or even worse.... (cue the dry heave) asking me to "pack it out." for any of you reading who knows what that statement means, i am so sorry.
- sleep while sharing the same 100 ft space with my three children (whom i love and adore) because of their severe inability to sleep anywhere unless they're tucked in their own beds. (and even then, their sleeping habits are extremely questionable)
ben thought long and hard about my question. he was not only a self-proclaimed 'outdoor guy,' but he had actually communed with other nomads/hippies/earthlovers by joining in the "rainbow gathering" and accepting this way of life as his own, for a time. this was who we were when we met in high school... my curly hair, overly-mascaraed eyelashes and show choir uniform vs. his poofy white-boy fro, Grateful Dead tie-dyed t-shirt, frayed jeans and ever-present hacky sack.
i told him i wouldn't stifle his love of sleeping under the stars with dirt in his teeth and the next morning's trail mix near his pillow--he was welcome to go on trips and expeditions when he pleased. i asked the same of him, to marry me without the thought of changing me, knowing i would prefer always to sleep in a hotel, with flushing toilets and my tube of mascara waiting by the bathroom mirror.
we agreed that our love for each other and immense compatibility in other areas far out-shined this measly indoor girl vs. outdoor guy conundrum. for the past almost 11 years, this has worked for us. ben has found male friends and family to go on weekend explorations through slot canyons and steep mountains, while i've found girls who appreciate a night away tucked into egyptian cotton sheets and showering with small tubes of complimentary shampoo.
but then our children grew up, becoming old enough to love the idea of sleeping in a tent and eating fire-roasted marshmallows until their bellies distended with sugary goodness.
i wrote about the last time we went camping as a family; the sleepless night and flustered morning when i handed 5 month old leah over to a stranger while i made a mad dash for the outhouse before my bladder exploded. i still remember that moment of panic.
we hadn't been "real" camping as a family since that time, until the ward campout was announced a month ago in church, and immediately the kids begged us to go. my instincts told me to pretend i didn't hear them, but i looked into their adorable, pleading eyes, then into the chocolate-y brown eyes of their father, and i found myself saying yes. i knew it would be a sleepless night, but my sense of optimism took over. i pictured dirty faces, hiking among trees together, sitting around the fire playing games...and convinced myself i could just take a nap the next day. i wanted to be a good sport, to try again.
in the back of my mind, i knew i didn't want to be someone who always says "no" to things just because i don't love it and know it's going to be a lot of work. how could i teach my kids to try again and do hard things, if i wasn't willing to?
knowing it was going to be cold, we packed multiple layers for each family member, and left mid-afternoon, ready for our adventure....

But it might take a while.
Posted By Will Borger | On 27th, Jun. 2014 Under News | Follow This Author @will_borger
When Microsoft took the stage at E3 last year, things were very different. Always-online DRM was still a thing, Kinect was still going to be sold with every box, and used games were in serious danger of not being playable on Microsoft's console. That lasted until Sony's Jack Tretton came on stage and utterly destroyed Microsoft by announcing that they were making consoles the way they always had. There was clapping, people cheered, and good times were had by all. Except, of course, Microsoft.
What got lost in all of this was Microsoft's family sharing plan, or the ability to share games with up to 10 family members, which was actually pretty cool. Well, according to Phil Spencer, family sharing may still be coming. At some point. Maybe.
Speaking to Gamertag, Spencer said, "We looked at the digital features that we had talked about last year and as a gamer, there were a lot of those features that I think really resonated and were smart features for people who really have a lot of games and maybe play on a couple consoles or have bunch of people in the house or want to share with friends. As I look at our monthly update roadmap, those kind of features are in our roadmap. There is a little bit of a challenge now that you've got DRM on a disc."
This isn't the first time that someone at Xbox has hinted at the return of family sharing. Last July, Microsoft corporate vice president Mark Whitten said that family sharing could return if it's "something people are really excited about and want," though he did note that there were still some technical hurdles to overcome before that could happen.
"Taking Family Sharing out of the launch window was not about 'we're going to take our toys and go home' or something like that," Whitten said. "It was just sort of the logistics of 'how do we get this very, very clear request that people really want, that choice, and how do we make sure we can do an excellent job of that, get to launch, and then be able to build a bunch of great features?' In the future I think you're going to see the ways that we change how you discover, how you consume, share, play."
Microsoft's always-online console may be dead, but it's nice to see that the company didn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Family sharing should be pretty awesome when (and if) it ever happens.

Well, as you probably heard the WDW 1/2 Marathon was cancelled in January. I was supposed to run the half on my 21st birthday but the night before the race, we were carb loading at Il Mulino and received the email that the race had been cancelled due to possible lightning the next morning. I completely understand why they decided not to risk having thousands of runners stand in a parking lot when there was a 90% chance of lightning forecasted for hours. RunDisney did a great job of offering other options to compensate for the cancellation from a full Disney gift card reimbursement to transferring to another runDisney race. I didn't expect them to do this, but it was fantastic and truly Disney guest service that they did.
On the bright side though, I was then able to go to the bar at our resort and right after midnight (and right before closing) I was able to get a drink with one of my cousins (shout out). My aunt and uncle ran the half on the 7th, as many other motivated runners did and were cheered on by other resort guests.
My friend, sister, and I went to Hollywood Studios for opening and I rode Rock'n'Roller Coaster as the first ride on my 21st birthday which was awesome. It ended up being a very cold day so we left Studios, had lunch back at the resort and then went to Disney Springs for my birthday dinner with all my family members.
I will definitely run another runDisney race, but since I don't know what I am doing after graduation in May yet, I didn't want to register for any others!
Filed under Running, Walt Disney World, WDW Marathon Weekend 2017
My study abroad semester has just about a month left which is crazy! What is even crazier though is that my 21st birthday and 7th half marathon is just under two months away.
The Walt Disney World Half Marathon falls on January 7th this year, which is my birthday, and I am so excited. As usual, I have been running a bit but could definitely be running more than I am. I'm really looking forward to the race weekend as I'll also be running the 5K and enjoying my time at Disney.
The 4 Things I Can't Wait for are…
3 Things I'm Dreading:
4 Things I Can't Wait For plus 3 Things I'm Dreading makes for a total of 7! And we are running on January 7th! What is everyone looking forward to or not looking forward to about WDW Marathon Weekend?

is TOMORROW at noon Eastern for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members! And then a week from tomorrow, registration opens for everyone at noon Eastern as well. I'm crossing my fingers that registration goes well for all tomorrow as well as next week. If I don't get in tomorrow, I will be trying again next week!

D-Luxe Burger is a new burger place which will be open in May in Disney Springs. To be honest, I do not care about having a burger place in Disney Springs. What caught my eye is that D-Luxe Burger will have a wide range of gelato milkshakes! I think that is the best Disney news I have heard in a while.
Disney is also piloting an After Hours ticketed event for Magic Kingdom where you pay around $150 to stay in Magic Kingdom from 11pm-2am. The latest buzz in the online community is worry about the Extra Magic Hours for resort guests going away. I would really hate if this was true because I personally won't be paying for four hours in Magic Kingdom.
My family was in Walt Disney World a few days ago (without me) and could not get over the parking system at Disney Springs. They also asked why I had not mentioned it before so I figured I could mention it now. The parking garage at Disney Springs tells you how many spaces are free and also has green lights above the spots that are open and red lights above the spots that are occupied.
Only a few weeks until registration opens for January WDW Marathon weekend! Is anyone signing up? I hopefully will be.

Here's a lovely photo from two year's ago when we spent St. Patrick's Day in Disney. We went to Raglan Road the night before for dinner and went to Animal Kingdom the day of where everyone was dressed in green. How did everyone celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year? Unfortunately, I did not do much to celebrate the holiday and couldn't find my favorite St. Patrick's Day movie "The Luck of the Irish" from the Disney Channel anywhere online.
Well Disney's TAG Store has opened. It is a whole store on travel items! Head over to one of my favorite Disney news sites, wdwmagic, here to see the photos. This store looks awesome…which is great but also means I need to leave a lot of room for souvenirs in my luggage. If I win the lottery, I will fly to Disney one year and just buy everything I need at Disney stores for the trip, from clothes to shampoo to my suitcase to transport all of it home!

You ever get the feeling you just have too much STUFF?
That's where I've been over the past few days.
Looking around, I just realize how many things I have.
Doo-dads and thingamahjiggers and whatzits that take up space and clutter my mind.
Since arriving back in Moose Jaw (when I've been here...there's been a LOT of travel for work!), I've been on a mission to de-clutter and lighten our lives. So far, we took a HUGE batch of recycling out, took a load over for donation to the Salvation Army and having been cleaning out and getting down to the minimums.
It's been a welcome change and I like that we are minimizing.
While spring hasn't quite yet made her appearance here in the Jaw, spring cleaning is in full swing at our home.
We've also been planning a big getaway trip for this summer. I have to be in Europe for work in August, so Dave and I are going to meet up over there and take some time with the cell phones and computers off. We are really looking forward to it!
I'll be sharing some photos from our recent jaunt to Canmore, Alberta soon...so stay tuned!

Engage before, during and after – Insights from a series of webinar
Doing a presentation online is as if doing it 'in real' or so I thought before having engaged in the organization of several webinars. Well – that is not the case at all. Read through the short list of insights of the DDLG network in order to not make the same mistakes as we did or to achieve the same satisfaction.
Andrea Iff, SDC
During the last months, the DDLG network jointly conducted several webinars: a short series on political economy, a joint webinar with the network Employment and Income E+I on Local Economic Development. We used a webinar to introduce the concept of Iterative Adaptive Management to our network members. I will simply divide these experiences in two sections: what went well, and what didn't. So you can decide from which of those aspects you want to inspire yourself for your next webinar:
What went well?
Involve participants as presenters
When experienced network members were involved as presenters and resource persons, their colleagues were more attentive, they asked more questions. It seems that these presentations by peers were more relevant and created more interest.
Learning: Engage with network members way before the webinar; involve them and use concrete examples.
Inspiring external presenters
In one webinar there were two presenters. This created a very interesting dynamic. The webinar was livelier than others with just one presenter. The two presenters sometimes even started a short dialogue amongst each other. In another webinar, we had a very dynamic and inspiring presenter. He engaged with the public, he was authentic and "real". He drank coffee during the presentation, which created an atmosphere of a café conversation rather than a formal lecture where one talks and everyone listens.
Learning: The choice of the presenter matters. Make the presentation lively and engage with the audience. Participants tend to disengage if there is a distant expert presenting without interaction.
Chat box moderator
In several webinars, there was one person that dedicated her/his whole attention to facilitating the conversation going on in the chat box. It turned out that this was important. In the webinars in which we did not have a chat box moderator, the chat contributions felt like 'just hanging in the air'.
Learning: Always appoint a chat box moderator.
Interactive presentation
The webinars in which participants were allowed to ask questions along the way and the presenters answered them as soon as it made sense in the flow of the presentations were much livelier than those where presentation and Q&A were strictly separated.
Learning: Try to engage with the audience as much as possible. Integrating the Q&A into the presentation is a good way to engage participants.
Interactive tools
In one webinar, our webinar partner used interactive tools to gather more information about the participants (i.e. their knowledge on a topic, the geographical range, etc.). This was very cool!
Learning: Use fancy gadgets to get closer in touch with the participants.
What didn't?
Know your audience
Once external experts introduced a concept. We as DDLG network did not know in advance in how far the concept was already known by SDC staff. With hindsight, the webinar was not really useful; people did not profit from these experiences.
Learning: Engage with network members and try to find out what the needs and questions in a particular area are.
Keep the dynamic alive
The presenter in one webinar went offline after the presentation, just before people had the opportunity to ask questions. His screen went black (for unclear reasons: for having a break, for having a look at the questions, to collect his thoughts?).
Learning: You kill any Q&A session when you disengage participants and interrupt the flow and the dynamic at the wrong moment.
Have a clear purpose
For one webinar, we collaborated with our strategic partner, who himself mandated the presentation again to a third party. That was a big mistake. It is pertinent to always engage directly with the presenter. On our side, we did not take the time to really clarify our aim and need.
Learning: Always engage directly with the people doing the webinar. Always have a common ground on what you want to achieve.

text: DA to lay charges after ANC supporters threaten to throw chairs at Khayelitsha event Tammy Petersen, News24 SHARE THIS 2016-07-06 11:20 ANC supporters have disrupted a DA gathering in Khayelitsha. (Cameron Arendse) Cape Town - The Democratic Alliance says it will lay intimidation charges with police and lodge a complaint with the Independent Electoral Commission after a group of African National Congress supporters threatened to throw chairs at its supporters at an event to introduce its ward candidates on Tuesday.DA Cape Town media manager Cameron Arendse said police had eventually managed to remove the group of about 10 supporters wearing ANC T-shirts, who had been chanting and arguing with the DA members in Kuyasa, Khayelitsha.Among those at the event were DA leader Mmusi Maimane and Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille."Despite this undemocratic behaviour on the part of the ANC, DA representatives and members remained disciplined and committed to not engaging in political violence," Arendse said.The group of ANC supporters, made up mostly of older women, had picked up chairs and threatened to toss them at those in attendance."The ANC's disruptive tactics and intimidation of our members and public representatives go against the very spirit of free and fair elections. In line with this, we will lodge a complaint with the IEC," he said.ANC provincial executive committee spokesperson Jabu Mfusi said that those who had participated in the disruption were not necessarily ANC members, despite some of them wearing the party's T-shirts."Our members are trained around the code of conduct of the IEC. We can't and won't prevent the DA or any other party from canvassing," he said.Mfusi condemned the incident, saying the ANC did not encourage such tactics."But the DA also mustn't be cry-babies. They want to win by hook or by crook. They don't have support here.

Have already booked for a party of 5 ladies me t year and would definitely recommend. Chris the keyholder is very helpful.Read more
Perfect Villa for a relaxing break. Great location with beaches, shops and restaurants all within 5 mins walk. Lovely villa on a great private residential complex with all the amenities you could want.Read more
We have just stayed at this duplex apartment & it was an excellent location within walking distance of all bars and restaurants of which there was plenty of choice. The accommodation was spacious & excellent prime position for the pool area. Would definitely recommend!Read more
We had a lovely time at Costamarina apartments...the apartment itself is very spacious & aircon more than ample if you leave all the doors open at night. Well equipped kitchen with microwave as well if self catering & a washing machine! Considering the apartments are not 'manned' everything in the communal areas is spotless & the pool lovely & clear. You are spoilt for restaurant choice & I would recommend the Spanish restaurant right next door. There is a weekly market right at the end of the road on a Thursday which was great. Unfortunately the courtesy bus to the water park does not run anymore so a taxi would have been much less hassle than the bus if you haven't hired a car! The only downside was that no one on the complex knows the WiFi code. However a trip to bar liquid (on the 'strip' side of the complex) will solve that issue & you can pick it up from that side of the building & by the pool! All in all a fab holiday, kids loved & made lots of friends round the pool & didn't want to come home 😔Read more
Property has everything you need for a great family holiday in a quiet area yet close to all amenities.Excellent communication and a hassle free check in and and out with easy airport transfersRead more
Nice location, 15-20 minutes walk to beaches & the 'strip' The villa is very nice but it could do with redecorating and replacement of the existing pillows and bedding.Read more
