at long last, i'm posting my coloured tights episode!
since i normally wear neutral colours (my favourites are grey, black, and olive green), i find coloured tights tricky to wear. a few months ago, i picked up two pairs from dollarama - bright red and bright bright purple - but i tucked them away and soon forgot all about them. then i saw the anthropologie catelog and realized that the coloured tights trend has not gone away. not only that but they can be oh-so-stylish and fashionably-fun. i hope i can rack up the courage to wear them one day... the colours are too vibrant to be tucked away in my closet.
(music credit: sound jay)
in this video, i experiment with three ways of wearing the coloured tights.
// look #1 //
i wanted to ease into the trend slowly so i wore a long skirt over the tights and pinned up one side. i initially pinned the skirt up to about knee length on one side. but, as i continued to wear this outfit, i found that i wanted to see more colour. so i tucked the skirt out over the waistband and the skirt was essentially "pinned up" to thigh length on one side. the photos probably do a better job of explaining this!

grey sleeveless turtleneck sweater - benetton - purchased at goodwill
long striped skirt - gold phil - purchased at goodwill
grey booties - chinese laundry - purchased at beyond the rack
// look #2 //
this look is quite loud yet i think it could work at the right event. am i too late for hallowe'en? in all seriousness, i love the boldness of this look but i would probably never wear it. except on my balcony. great, my neighbours know i'm nutters now.

okay, how much do these black pumps rock?! i am so glad i picked them up. i actually contemplated not getting them because i was not into chunky heels this past summer. now i luuuuuuurve them.
80s style sweater - woodward's - purchased at courage my love
black shorts - h&m
black suede pumps - kimchi blue - purchased at urban outfitters
// look #3 //
when i was in high school, i used to wear coloured tights with fishnet stockings. i was less of a pear shape then but it was still a great way to tone down the coloured tights and also achieve a slimming effect. i thought i had fishnet stockings at home but i couldn't find them so i tried the look with black pantyhose. the colour of my tights is toned down quite a bit but i'm not sure i look any slimmer.

black tank top - h.i.p. - purchased at winners

black booties - wal-mart

Graceful Masculinity
17.06.2019, by Shalom Hartman Institute
G-d, the source of all genders, has many male attributes and is also the source of all good. The humility and respect that G-d has for the space that we take up in this world, despite the actual power differential that exists between the Creator and Their creations, provides an important template for our interpersonal interactions where the power differences are only a social construction

Jerusalem Day is a Day of Prayer for the Future

Not a day of victory in the war, but a holiday of commitment to peace. I am not naive and do not hold on to an illusion. It is clear to me that this is a painful process, but I do not give up hope

Stand erect with your feet about 1 metre apart.
Raise your arms sideways to shoulder height;
that is, your arms and shoulders should form one straight line.
This is the starting position.
Slowly lean to the right and bring the right hand to the right toe.
During this movement you may bend your right leg slightly.
Your arms should remain in one straight line, with your head facing forwards. Don't bend forwards.
This is important; you should bend as much as possible to the side.
To do this, you may push the left side of your pelvis slightly forwards.
Your arms, legs and the whole body should lie in one vertical plane.
When your right hand touches your right foot, your left hand should simultaneously point directly upwards.
To complete the movement, turn the head upwards and gaze at your left hand. This is the final position and is shown above. Return to the standing position, performing the movements in reverse sequence. Make sure you keep your arms in one straight line throughout the entire movement. Repeat the same movement, but leaning to the left.
Then return to the starting position.
This is 1 round.
Do a number of rounds.
Breathing: exhale while bending the body to the side and inhale while straightening the body and returning to the starting position.
Movement 2
Repeat the same procedure as movement 1, as far as the point where you touch your right foot with your right hand, your head facing forwards.
In this position your left arm should be vertical.
Slowly swing your left arm downwards over the left side of your head.
In the final position, your left arm should be horizontal and touching your left ear. Remember, you must try not to bend forwards but take great care to keep your whole body in one vertical plane.
To accentuate the influence of the asana, imagine you are trying to touch the opposite wall with your left band. Slowly return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side, leaning the body to the left.
Return to the starting position.
This is 1 round.
Do a number of rounds.
Breathing: same as given in movement 1.

Decades ago I discovered paradise in West Sonoma County
I was born and raised in Honolulu surrounded with the cultural tradition of Aloha'aina – love for the land – a personal connection to place. I am still very connected to my island roots, but I left at the age of 19 to see other lands. First stop was San Francisco, my home port for 5 years while working in the cruise ship industry. Traveling the world humbled my heart and gave me many new perspectives. I traded my sea legs for a ticket back to California.
I first visited Sonoma County in 1978 and had the immediate feeling that this is where I would eventually settle. Before I settled here I spent some years near beautiful Lake Tahoe, flexing my entrepreneurial muscles by founding a string of businesses including the area's first brewery… it is still going strong!
In 1994 I made the move and I continue to discover more to love about beautiful Sonoma County. I jumped into real estate and haven't looked back.
When I served on the Land Use Advisory Panel I brought a homeowner's perspective to the issues faced by the county. I work alongside other industry professionals – civil engineers, well and septic specialists, surveyors, etc. This shared knowledge provides an education for all, giving me the perspective to view a property as a whole. More than that, I realized how deeply we connect to best land practices.
This love for the land is what led me to work in real estate. The profession is an ongoing dialogue with the land. It enables me to work with people in a capacity that has heart and meaning. I seek to understand each client's hopes and goals so I can apply my knowledge and experience for the best end result.

We have set an ambitious target of doubling Scotland's business expenditure on research and development (R&D) from £875m in 2015 to £1.7bn by 2025. To assist with this, we are providing over £110m in grant support for business R&D over the next 3 years by increasing grant support for R&D from £22m to £37m per annum. Significant progress is already being made – business expenditure on R&D exceeded £1 billion for the first time in 2016.
Productivity Clubs
We recognise the importance of progressive business models, workplace innovation and Fair Work as central to our approach to creating value and business innovation. In partnership with SCDI, we will work with business to pilot two Productivity Clubs. The pilots – one urban, one largely rural – will support businesses who want to improve their own performance and share their advice and experiences to help others do the same. The Clubs will help support managerial capability and diffusion of innovation.
Can Do Business Innovation Forum
We will also now expand the role, remit and membership of the Can Do Business Innovation Forum to enable it to consider and take action on the economic and business opportunities and challenges of new and future technologies.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Judgment Portal, the first of its kind, was launched today and aimed at boosting public accessibility to court judgements, said Chief Justice Tan Sri Md Raus Sharif.
Speaking at the launch of www.judgements.my at Universiti Malaya here today, Raus added that the portal has been designated the official repository of Malaysian court judgements.
"The release of this portal is in line with the commitment made by the Malaysian Judiciary during the Judicial Year Ceremony this year, wherein I pledged to ensure transparency by ensuring court judgements is easily accessible to the public.
"This portal is also an initiative of the Malaysian Judiciary together with Asean Legal Information Centre and Malaysian Law Deans Council to provide easy access to reported Malaysian judgements, online, free of charge, accessible to all, from anywhere around the world.
"All court proceedings in the country, except for sensitive cases involving minors or sexual offences, are open to the general public. Judgements and orders are for all accounts and purposes, public information.
"The Malaysian Judgement Portal, in the long term, plans to provide an opportunity to local law students to get involved in editorially processing our judgements," he said during the launch.
Rauf also commented that the portal will serve to strengthen the symbiotic relationship between the judiciary and the legal academia.
He said the Malaysian Judiciary also planned to expand the contents of the portal to include selected High Court judgements as well as judgements from quasi-judicial tribunals such as the Industrial Court.
"With the creation of this website, it is hoped that baseless criticism against court decisions will cease and the public will be able to increase their knowledge and understanding of the law and appreciate the reasoning employed in reported judgements before coming to their own conclusions," he added.

hey folks,
a couple of weeks ago there was a ruling by the constitutional court of Germany that incest between brothers and sisters should remain illegal. The case involved a man who had four children with his sister and was sentenced to 2 years in prison. Their parents were divorced or something and they grew up in different families, so they only got to know each other as adults and fell in love. 2 of their 4 children are disabled, but doctors haven't been able to narrow down the cause of their disability. The mother (i.e. the sister of the father) is slightly mentally handicapped, too. The chief justice was in favour of legalizing incest, seeing as it is legal in some other countries, but the other judges outvoted him.
Anyways, some of the arguments against legalization that the judges cited were:
- the children of incestuous couples are likely to be disabled
- the more vulnerable/weaker of the two partners has to be protected
- the constitution says that families are the basic unit of society and have to be protected
- incest puts a lot of strain on the families involved
some arguments for legalization were:
- disability can have many causes, e.g. when one/both parent(s) in a non-incestuous relationship are disabled themselves, the children are very likely to be disabled. However, disabled ppl are, of course, allowed to marry and have children
- the incidence of incest is very low because normally children who grow up together (even if they are adopted and not genetically related at all) develop a psychological incest taboo, i.e. they will see the other children as their siblings and out of bounds sexually, even when they are NOT related. So legalizing incest would not result in a lot of ppl suddenly getting interested in it and practicing it.
- Sleepy's own argument: why should one of the partners be more vulnerable and weaker than the other, as long as they are both of age and have all their faculties intact? In this particular case, the woman (sister) was more vulnerable because she was mentally handicapped, plus the man (brother) beat her. But this isn't always the case, so how can you tell which partner needs to be protected? Plus, there can be a "weaker" partner (battered wife or husband) in any relationship and yet ppl are not generally prevented from marrying. You can only define who is the weaker partner after abuse has taken place, not before ppl marry ???
what do you think? (please refrain from comments about sodomy (sex with animals), pedophilia (I'm only referring to consenting adults, not kids or rape) and inflammatory analogies/comparisons of any kind. THANKS

This may be relevant currently, as students are finishing the year. Scrapblog is a way of creating an online scrapbook or yearbook, using text, images, video and a large number of ready made graphics. You can choose one of their themes, or create one from scratch with your own designs. Addition – to start from scratch you need to buy the stickers, backgrounds etc. There are, however, a large number of themes that are free, and these come with a number of stickers and backgrounds for free, so it is still possible to personalise your scrapblog without paying anything.
We are already planning on working with a year 6 class on creating a virtual yearbook, and this may be the perfect solution for all their memories.
Once you have finished your scrapblog, you can publish it and share it with everyone, or choose to only allow your friends to see it (obviously we stress with young people that the latter is the option they should be choosing). All of this is free, the cost only comes into it if you'd like a printed version. They do three versions, with the cheapest at $9.99. The catch (and it's a big one) is that the delivery to the UK will cost a whopping $71! Hopefully this will come down as time goes on. However you can download each page as a jpeg (see image below) and you can print these if you want a hard copy.

How to get your IT project funded: Build a Solid Business Case: Step 4, Calculate Part 1
This is a rather lengthy section with a lot of specific tasks. I'm going to split this one into parts as well.
My mentor at HP had the perfect saying; "when it's about money, get it right". That is so true when it comes to developing and building a business case.
Two of the most common reactions I see to some business cases are "I don't understand it" and "I don't believe it." Here are some of the common reasons that decision makers reject calculations within business cases that I have seen and experienced as part of a business development team:
- computation errors: believe it or not, I've actually seen the whole business case development team get completed discredited because their arithmetic wasn't correct. They multiplied 200 x 20 and had 400 instead of 4000. It was that simple of a mistake that the decision makers saw the team as careless.
- formulas' assumptions invalid: formulas make assumptions your decision makers will not accept.
- metric disbelief: regardless of what your business case team believes, the decision team considers stated metrics as inappropriate for the investment decision being faced. (Ex. business case states that "employee turnover" is currently 15%. The decision team believes that the "15 percent" metric is invalid.
- terminology confusion: words have different meanings for different companies. In an example of one customer of mine, they call virtual machines, "virtual worlds".
- explanation omission: no definitions are supplied for potentially misunderstood terms.
- calculation obscurity: the exact mathematical computations are nowhere in sight.
This step actually has three tasks associated with it. The first is something that was created long before I started in doing this type of consulting. I used these at HP, it's called a "payoff card". It's a one page, structure document and a core tool to my calculations. It's designed to collect and communicate succinctly the essence of what senior decision makers need to know regarding the value-based implications of a single decision criteria. The payoff card has three components:
1. The explanation: this describes what this payoff area is, why it is important as a decision criteria, now the solution being evaluated supports this payoff area topic, and what evidence and rationale exist to support key value assertions and calculations.
2. The calculation: this displays all computations used to compute the tangible value of the Payoff card topic area.
3. The value ladder: This is something that I showed you in the last step, but this shows how this particular Payoff card topic is aligned to
other Payoff card topics.
Here is my take on payoff cards. They have three uses: (1) to review the eligibility of its information for use in a business case being developed, (2) to document specific factors unique to the ROI analysis being created and (3) to communicate these factors to decision makers and others who need to know.
The payoff card provides advantages to you such as:
- Clarifies data needed, thus helping to assure crucial information in not inadvertently omitted.
- Encourages succinct explanations, thereby forcing sharpness of thinking and thus enhancing business case appeal and comprehension by busy decision makers.
- Provides flexibility, thus accelerating revisions, changes, and reuses.
- Speeds comprehension, thus increasing understanding.
Next I'll cover how to construct explanations.

In support of National Hot Chocolate Day, we've put together 5 healthy reasons to eat chocolate and why it is actually good for you. So next time you have a crappy day at work, those infamous boy problems, or simply want to give in to those oh-so-delicious cravings, then grab a piece of good chocolate and go for it!
- It's a Mood Booster: Think chocolate makes you feel better? Well, it actually does, for a reason! Chocolate contains phenylethylamine (PEA), which consequentially is the same chemical that your brain makes when you fall in love. PEA triggers your brain to release feel-good endorphins, creating that happy buzz running through your body.
- Your Brain's a Fan: Cocoa is high in flavanols, which have shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. In some studies, chocolate has proven to reduce inflammation in brain injuries like concussions, and improve memory loss with seniors. The darker the chocolate, the more flavanols, so buy quality dark chocolate!
- Cholesterol Friendly: Flavanols to the rescue again! Dark chocolate reduces "bad cholesterol" levels and boosts the "good"!
- It's Heart Healthy: We know chocolate already makes your heart go boom boom boom, but research has shown a correlation between chocolate and a decrease in heart disease. Women who ate one to two ounces of chocolate per week decreased their chances of heart failure by 32% when compared to women who didn't eat any chocolate.
- It's Jam Packed with Nutrients: That's right…dare we say "healthy"?! Chocolate is high in fiber, iron, potassium, magnesium, and more.
Lastly, we couldn't leave you without offering up two Dark Hot Chocolate recipes from some favorite blogs around the web.
