They're now doing a Winter Shuffle and here are the films and events listed so far. The festival runs from Thursday 5 to Sunday 15 December 2013. All the links below should take you to the ticket buying options for that event and the info was pinched from this page: http://www.tickettailor.com/all-tickets/2749/eb4c/
The Shuffle Festival's website is at http://www.shufflefestival.com/ and they're on Twitter at @ShuffleFestival
This is a review, from a Benedict Cumberbatch fansite, of an event at the Summer Shuffle - Danny Boyle and a couple of people from the band Underworld were doing a Q&A alongside a showing of Danny's Frankenstein (filmed from the theatrical production). I saw this (not at Shuffle) and it was incredible. The blog post has a few pictures and videos of the Shuffle site.
Although he's not curating this festival Danny Boyle's doing a couple of Q+As in the list below. Science communicators might be interested in Dr Aarathi Prasad's Q+A about 'virgin birth' (here's a link to a show she did on the Little Atoms podcast) and anyone who likes Jarvis Cocker and Nic Roeg will be delighted at the Saturday 14 Dec evening event.
For timings visit the Shuffle Festival page and click on "Programme" from the links at the top.
There will also be theatre events but I don't think the programme's available for that yet.

"You've got to be stealthy if you want to get the best stuff," says Mickey Herkin, a twenty-four year old Civil Servant from Newbury, as he carefully approaches the object of his desire – a ragged and rain-damaged porn magazine lying in a lay-by off of the A34. Mickey is a porn hunter, one of a growing band of young male Britons who specialise in collecting unwanted pornography which has been discarded in public places. "Bloody hell! It's a copy of Janus, the spanking mag – you don't often find that just lying around. It's subscription only – usually read by the more discerning specialist collector," he crows gleefully, as he examines his prize, before continuing to explain the conventions of his past-time. "It's an unspoken rule – you can't pick up a jazz mag if anyone else is about – to be seen doing it is just socially unacceptable!" Purloining magazines from the homes of friends, shops, or even complete strangers' rubbish bins is also strictly forbidden – the pornography must be hunted down and captured out in the open!
However, in an age when nudity is common on television, film and even newspapers, when both men's magazines and glamour publication for women carry pictures which only a decade ago would have been pornographic, why do men like Herkin find it necessary to hunt down smut in back lanes and darkened alley ways? "In many ways it is about the primal thrill of the chase! That rush of adrenaline you get when you think you've spotted an abandoned copy of Escort on a park bench – and then the sheer excitement of stalking and capturing it before some other sexual predator gets to it," he enthuses, claiming that it is the ready availability of filth which is fuelling the popularity of porn hunting. "When you can get it in any high street shop, it takes the magic of porn away – it's no longer a guilty pleasure! Collecting porn should be a furtive activity – you should feel like a naughty schoolboy when you try to buy a top-shelf mag in the newsagents!" Herkin is at pains to emphasise that porn hunting is a far from easy past-time. "You have to be vigilant at all times! You never know when you might spot an unattended wank mag," he says. "The uninitiated are often surprised to learn that best hunting grounds are usually country lanes rather than city streets! A lot of younger people tend to drive out to secluded places after dark for illicit sex, or mutual masturbation sessions – once the mags have served their purpose to 'warm up' the participants, they get discarded! Of course, as these youngsters mostly still live with their parents, they're also too embarrassed to risk taking the magazines home with them!"
Spotting these rural porn dumping grounds requires skill – the ability to spot the tell-tale clues is crucial for the successful porn hunter. "I find that jizz-filled used condoms hanging in the bushes at the entrance to bridle ways and farm tracks a promising sign – that and empty beer cans and the signs of camp fires in copses," muses Herkin. "Of course, the fire can be a negative sign, they might have burned the mags! Sometimes they only remember to jettison them as they are driving away – it's always important to check the trees and hedgerows along the nearest road for several hundred yards in each direction!" With 'dogging' – outdoor sex between strangers – becoming increasingly popular, the lay-bys on old A-roads where prospective participants meet are also becoming an increasingly fruitful hunting ground for the likes of Herkin. "Like country lanes and woodland clearings, these have the advantage of usually being deserted, so the risk of detection is minimised," explains the young Civil Servant. "That's the main problem with porn hunting in urban areas – too many people about, too much potential competition!"
Nevertheless, for the bolder porn hunter, towns can prove very happy hunting grounds, bus stops, hedgerows and public parks located near schools providing the best opportunities. Actually capturing the magazines can be a hazardous process – even life threatening. Herkin once broke his right arm and suffered severe concussion after falling out of a tree whilst trying to rescue a near-pristine copy of Razzle which had blown into the upper branches. On another occasion he was nearly hit by a speeding car whilst retrieving a sodden Asian Babes from a drainage ditch on a blind bend. "It's no safer trying to get the stuff in towns – I once spent four hours in my car staking out a school in the hope of seeing some porn mags being discarded, only to be arrested by the police as a suspected peadophile," reveals Herkin.
Once he has the porn safely in captivity, Herkin goes to elaborate lengths to nurse it back to health. "Often the pages are damp and sticking together – in such cases it is necessary to remove the staples and carefully disassemble the whole publication, drying each page individually before reassembling it," he explains, seated in his basement, which houses his collection, many of which, restored to their former glory, are mounted on the walls. "My basement is equipped with a set of sun lamps and several low-wattage electric heaters to aid in this process. Of course, even after drying the pages are often wrinkled and creased – in such circumstances I carefully iron them all before stapling the magazine back together. Any tears are carefully repaired with sticking tape." Of course, some pages may be torn, rain damaged or faded beyond repair, or the magazines' covers might be missing. In these cases Herkin searches through his stock of magazines rescued in an incomplete state, to try and find duplicate pages and covers. "Mind you some are beyond repair – I absolutely refuse to handle the ones covered with semen stains", he says.
Although his magazines take pride of place, Herkin is quick to point out that porn hunting needn't be confined to the print medium. "Television can also provide good prey – these days you never know when a bit of porn might surface on mainstream TV. I spend hours scouring the schedules and setting the video for films and programmes that look as if they might contain something titillating," he says. "Sometimes it's an actual bona fide porn movie being shown in the all night schedules, often it is a contemporary drama series, especially on BBC 2 or Channel Four, which is near guaranteed to feature a few bared breasts!" In recent years the internet has also provided rich pickings. "The key here is to locate the really good free porn sites – not the ones which just tease with a hint of pubic hair or lots of cleavage, nor those which want credit card details just to show you a bit of nipple", advises Herkin. "They're just a rip-off! Trust me, the best pornography is always available for free, if you just keep your eyes open and your wits about you!"

Bobsled Bonanza is a mini-game which can be unlocked after beating Adventure Mode in Plants vs. Zombies, Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West, and Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition. Bobsled Bonanza is a Pool level, which starts with four permanently placed ice trails on four ground lanes (up to the fourth column), and almost all of the zombies that appear throughout the level are Zombie Bobsled Teams and Zombonis. If the player melts the preplaced ice, they will face several Zombonis before any Zombie Bobsled Teams.
- Main article: Bobsled Bonanza/Strategies
Suggested plants
- Sunflower
- Peashooter and/or Cattail (for pool lanes)
- Lily Pad
- Spikeweed (recommended to upgrade as soon as possible)
- Spikerock
- Squash (optional, if you do not have Spikerock)
- Potato Mine
- Jalapeno (optional, to melt ice and get rid of Zombie Bobsled Teams)
- Imitater (optional, to imitate Potato Mine, Squash, or Jalapeno)
- Starfruit (optional)
- Chomper (optional)

The Complete Zombie
Video walkthrough
- On the DS version, the Zombie Bobsled Team can appear outside of the bobsled.
- It has the second longest wait time between planting and the first zombie of the level coming with a 45-second wait time, with Pogo Party being the longest.
- If the hidden mini-game Air Raid is counted, it has the third longest wait time.
- The Tree of Wisdom says it is "really, really, really difficult" to beat both this mini-game and Pogo Party without the Squash.
- Unlike any other game modes, the ice trails do not disappear. In the Nintendo DS version though, ice trails normally disappear after Zombie Bobsled Teams appear (unless a Zomboni is in the same lane).
- For some reason, on some older iPhone versions of this mini-game, the ice at the start covers an extra square.
- It is the only mini-game where ice trails are already placed on the lawn before the start of a level.
- It and Zombie Nimble Zombie Quick are the only mini-games to have four flags for all versions.
- It is the only time in which the Zombie Bobsled Team appears on the seed selection screen and the only mini-game where they appear.
- There is a level with the same name that appears in Disney's game, Where's My Perry?.
- On the seed selection screen, the Zombie Bobsled Team does not have an idle animation. This is because it does not appear on the seed selection screen anywhere else.
- If the player manages to clear out all of the pre-existent ice trails, regular zombies will appear in a much higher density.
- This mini-game is a much easier way to earn the Chill Out achievements, as long as the player burns the bobsled using only Jalapenos or Imitated Jalapenos, at least 3.

The Sony conference at E3 2017 took place on Monday and showed a bit more of the 2017/2018 games already planned for Playstation 4. Gameplay from Days Gone, Spider-Man and new trailers from God of War and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, surprised. However, many fans were saddened not to see The Last of Us Part II.
To comfort our hearts, the director and writer of Naughty Dog game, Neil Druckmann, said through twitter, understand our anxiety about news of the continuation of our favorite game, but that moment is from The Lost Legacy.
Believe me, we're super excited to show you more of Ellie and Joel's 2nd journey, but right now it's Chloe and Nadine's time to shine.— Neil Druckmann (@Neil_Druckmann) 13 de junho de 2017
Even if this is not very comforting, make sure that for the next events we already know who will be the absolute star of the show. Watch the new trailer for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, game that arrives in August:

Discussion in 'Photography Beginners' Forum' started by Fraggo, Mar 18, 2009.
Is there a way to make homemade gels?
I guess you could buy transparency sheets and color them with felt pens etc. Or if you are really cheap, use plastic wrap and color that.
If you are using hot shoe flash units, you can get free sample booklets that are the same size as a flash head. I've got one, it probably has 50-100 different colors...and it was free.
This is worth looking up the info. A friend of mine was using some pieces of transpancies cut just the size of the flash. He was using painter's tape to hold the film in place.

they would be used with studio lights, so i can color saran wrap and have fun with that then? and thanks for the link mike.
Be careful with the heat though. Studio lights can tend to get hot...and that doesn't mix well with plastic. This is probably one reason why good quality gels can be expensive.
I have THIS for my studio lights. Not too bad for $50.
Do you think wax paper would work? i know its not the same material as the gels of course, but would it be worth to try.

Order volumes for online retailers have plunged by 50-60 per cent since the surprise announcement on demonetisation on November 8, according to ecommerce industry experts, logistics providers and company executives ETspoke with. In India, at least 60 per cent of online purchases are still paid by cash. The paucity of currencies that are still legal tender as the country recalibrates its money supply in its fight against corruption is discouraging such online purchases as well as resulting in high order cancellations.
There slump could negate the gains earned from October's festival season bonanzas, say experts. "It will be considerable," said Sreedhar Prasad, partner ecommerce and startups, KPMG. "If it takes about two weeks for the country to come back to normalcy, that means 60 lakh orders are at the risk of not getting placed, which will have a considerable impact on cumulative sales."
Flipkart and Amazon India declared blockbuster sales from their flagship events last month, which offered much relief to an industry that had been weltering under a funding crunch. Now, fears of another slump, even if temporary, seem inevitable. "On the 9th, there was a general drop in sentiment so orders decreased from that perspective. The drop in business across the board is real," said Sanjay Sethi, chief executive of online retailer ShopClues. "While we are supportive of (demonetisation), the move is painful for us in the short term. It will take 45-60 days to stabilise."
While ecommerce executives said it was too early to be able to gauge the full impact of the recall of the Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 bills, the immediate fallout is evident. "The orders placed a week to two weeks before the announcement also have been impacted and the logistics supply chain is choked," said a top executive at an ecommerce company. "There is very less liquidity in the market, which is causing a temporary disruption."
None of the online retailers ET reached out to agreed to disclose their order volumes and value post the announcement.
Flipkart, the country's largest ecommerce company, and online marketplace Snapdeal insisted the impact was only marginal.
Cash on delivery payments (CoD) "overall dipped by 20 per cent. However, prepaid volumes have increased by more than 60 per cent," a Flipkart spokesperson told ET. "There has been a marginal dip in order volumes but nothing very significant," a Snapdeal spokesperson said. "Close to 50 per cent of our orders are prepaid. Additionally, every Snapdeal client has a Freecharge (digital) wallet account, so it's very easy for them to switch if they want to."
A reduction in the quantum of cash-based payments is expected to help online retailers save on the cost of processing such orders and also minimise product returns, which is pegged at 20-30 per cent of all online retail orders. The cost of cash-on-delivery orders is 2-2.5 per cent of the order value or Rs 30-50, whichever is higher. 1That is a major cost centre for ecommerce companies, who continue to operate on wafer-thin margins.
Given that every online retailer has been making a concerted move to woo, and retain, consumers hailing from India's small cities and towns, where a significant portion of the populace do not have access to credit and debit cards, and even bank accounts, the demonetisation move could not have come at a worse time.
"The orders coming from tier-II, tier-III and beyond will also reduce this month as shopping is no longer the priority of those buyers, leave aside shopping online," said KPMG's Prasad.

So, for anyone that cares, I was born and raised in Montreal, the land of poutine and absolutely gorgeous women. That's about all I'm going to miss.
I got a job working for Huawei (and it absolutely effin rocks) and I bought a house in Kanata (25 minutes west of Ottawa) which I will be moving into in a few weeks.
No more language problems, shitty roads, constant road works, excessive taxes (highest in north america), construction mafia/unions, politics based on separation etc...
I will finally be able to vote on issues rather than just vote for the non-separatist party, I can actually chose in which language to educate my children, and ... peeople are really polite here.
Plus, it pays better here. But I will miss the eye candy.

High-tech industrial hardware startups really don't make the headlines as often as they should, because Pokémon Go, the Kardashians, Donald Trump…
But Keit's team can say they've done work on making beer better, as well as on a mission to Mars, and the Oxford-based startup has just raised £1.4 million in equity funding, so they definitely deserve a moment in the sun.
Keit has created a probe that helps companies that work in "high value liquids" industries, from chemicals, to energy, to food a drink, measure what's going on inside their concoctions, in real time.
Spectroscopy, as it's known in the business, isn't anything new – it's high school science, remember shining a light through a glass prism? Well, Keit's technology uses the mid-infra-red part of the electromagnetic spectrum, shining light into liquids to reveal the presence or absence of certain chemicals depending on the amount of light that's absorbed.
The spectrum sends a radio signal back to a PC, either wired or wirelessly, with a human-readable data analysis of what it's been able to 'see'. That means it can help its users quickly detect if something has gone wrong with their industrial-scale batch of beer, so they can save it from spoiling, as well as being used as a quality assurance tool.
Keit CEO Dan Wood speaks anecdotally of large companies today that, in order to test oil they have produced to check for counterfeits, staff have to post cans of it back to their labs. What Keit has done, aided by its work trying (and ultimately failing) to get to Mars, is create a small, robust device that's immune to vibrations from equipment and grease from the production line. The MicroFTS device also has to not explode in environments where it's coming into contact with highly explosive materials, of course.
Keit lives on Oxford's Harwell Campus, site of the world-famous Rutherford Appleton Laboratories space hub and now the UK Space Gateway. It's pretty much the home of big government science in the UK and now it's also inhabited by high-tech spin outs, like Keit.
What Wood is most excited about is how his company's innovation will mature just as new biorenewables firms are hitting the mainstream to replace traditional petrochemicals.
"Many big oil companies have already spent huge amounts of money on their industrial kit, which they're unlikely to just replace," he says. "But there's a huge amount of innovation happening in biorenewables and the industry is moving fast, so it's particularly emotionally satisfying to be involved in this area."
He said Keit is right at the beginning of its commercial journey but the MicroFTS, which currently looks like an armoured shoebox with a probe coming out of it, will soon be handheld and battery powered. Right now, the company is also dependent on third-party detector technology.
The £1.4 million round was led by Harwell Campus science investor Longwall Ventures, and joined by the British Business Bank and the Regional Growth Fund-backed Angel Co-Investment Fund, plus public research investor Rainbow Seed Fund.

Here's a look at what is coming from Jo Malone London this Christmas. With a magical, majestic theme, there is lots to see…
Special Mentions
Orange Bitters
For the first time ever this year, JML will be releasing a new and limited scent especially for Christmas. Orange Bitters is a warm, sensual winter scent, a vibrant nod to mulled wine and festive spices. The bottle comes in a stunning checked print in keeping with the theme.
This scent will also be available in a candle, which in another Jo Malone first will be housed in a ceramic pot with ceramic lid. One of the things I love to do with my candles is to wash them out when they're finished and keep the jars for storage. This ceramic pot is so lovely, I think it is the kind of thing you could keep as a Christmas ornament for many years to come.
Advent Calendar, £280
The JML advent calendar will be returning this year, and this time with extra special surprises! A miniature of the upcoming scent, Basil and Neroli, will feature in the calendar. Usually the most recent launch is never present, so this is an exciting addition.
Also included are miniature candles this year, roughly half the size of the travel candles you can buy on counter. As always these sell out in a heartbeat so I would advise you to speak to your local JML team to see if they will allow you to reserve yours as soon as now if you wish to order one this Christmas.
The return of the Frosted Cherry
One of my favourite pieces from the collection is this rounded selection of five candles. Again, these are in a smaller candle size as above, and some of the additions are lovely.
Alongside the delicious Green Tomato Leaf (one of my ultimate favourite and a must for those with a green thumb), the much loved Frosted Cherry candle will make a return in 2016. This is a limited candle from JML Christmas past that seems to have been gone but not forgotten.
Large Christmas Cracker
The large Christmas cracker is always in the Jo Malone offering, but this time for the very first time you will be able to fully customise what it contains! An exciting twist, this way you have this elaborate, striking packaging and a fragrance combination chosen to suit your loved one.
Personalised Baubles
If you're on the JML mailing list you'll know that they always host the most beautiful activity in their boutiques. If you're not, I'd suggest you sign up.
This year, their Christmas activity will be to personalise Christmas baubles for you. With four luxurious ceramic designs to choose from, these again will be a Christmas gift that you can treasure for years.
A little tip for you; JML use ceramic blotters in their boutiques. Are you wondering why? When a fragrance dries to a ceramic blotter, the scent you get is the closest scent to what the fragrance will smell like when it dries on the skin. Therefore the perfume selecting experience is far less confusing than the usual instant sprays of alcohol and fragrance, often confusing and overwhelming.
The packaging
Such a simple thing but hugely important – I think the packaging of everything this year is very special. The smallest addition of a golden, harlequin printed ribbon has transformed the classic brand that we know and love into a bundle of magic and surprise.
The whole line up…
Pomegranate Noir Limited Bottle
Pomegranate Noir Gift Set
Cologne Intense Collection
Classic Cologne Collection (note: the new autumn scent Basil and Neroli will feature as a miniature this year!)
Cracker of Miniatures
Personalised Boxes – available on counter
Collection of Soaps
Jo Malone Townhouse
Jo Malone Trousseau, fully customisable and price dependent on contents
Pine and Eucalyptus Scented Ornament
Jo Malone London will launch their Christmas collection later this year.

Moving stinks. This is the sixth time my wife and I have moved in the last 15 years. It never seems to get any easier. In fact, this one has been the biggest challenge, I think, because we now have substantially more "stuff" than we did the previous five times. I suppose that's because we had two additional bedrooms worth of "stuff" to move this time around. But there still seems to be a lot more than just two more bedrooms.
Nonetheless, we are slowly getting the "stuff" we think we'll need unpacked, put someplace, and then repacking the rest back into storage for the big move up the hill that will occur a couple of years from now. You see, this house is only temporary. That means we have to move again in a couple of years. Yay! Luckily that move won't require us to load and unload multiple 26′ moving trucks or drive hundreds of miles. Instead it will be just a few hundred yards up the hill to the other side of the property.
So for the last few weeks, we've been tackling the cleaning, unpacking and general property maintenance that comes with moving into a less than well cared for, 1950's era, rural farm house (plus there's still that day job thing to deal with). We're also in the process of disassembling an old, dilapidated shed that our homeowner's insurance company says needs to be taken down if we want to keep our coverage. Not many jobs are quite as "fun" as taking down an old farm outbuilding, board by board (we're salvaging the lumber for a future project), in the middle of July. Did I mention how "fond" I am of wasps?
Needless to say, the shop has been vacant, except for the numerous flying woodworkers that call the building home. I had the fortunate opportunity to teach a saw sharpening class in the new space shortly after moving in (thanks John!), but other than that, the tools have just sat there in a state of chaos. Over the next few weeks, however, I hope to change that. I should finally get some time to begin unpacking the shop, after I take care of a few exterior issues.
The building isn't too bad, at least structurally. The roof, while a bit weathered, keeps it dry on the inside, so that's a good start. It's quite overgrown around the perimeter, which I plan to take care of this weekend (anyone want a cartload of fresh mint?). A few of the wall panels are loose, but that won't require more than a few nails to remedy once the vegetation has been eliminated. The more pressing issue will be the eviction of the current tenants. If there is a Daytona Beach for wasps and hornets, the eaves of this building must be it. They are literally packed with comb from rafter to rafter. I've already gone through several cans of pesticide, but there are many more nests to bulldoze up there, plus a few more on the inside of the building. These are, of course, in addition to those within the building we've been disassembling (you can see part of that building just behind the shop in the photo above).
Other than the unwanted guests of the flying variety, the shop is in OK shape. It's roughly 12′ wide by 28′ long. So it's about the size of an extra deep garage. It may not seem like that much room to some folks, but it's almost 4 times more square footage than I gave up, so I'm thrilled with the amount of space. It's not insulated, so it gets hot during the heat of the day, but the heat of the day doesn't often get above 85 degrees up here in the mountains, so it's been quite tolerable. Winter might be another story, but we'll burn that bridge when we get there. It has two small windows, though they're not really large enough to provide much natural light. Luckily, it was a woodworking shop before we bought the place, so it's already been wired, and there is plenty of additional artificial lighting. The overhead door is nice for ventilation and providing more natural light, but then there are all those wasps and hornets to deal with, so I'm not sure how often I'll open it until I can eradicate them.
The inside of the shop is in fine, usable condition. The rafters are open, providing for a nice, built-in lumber rack. The walls are open stud framing, which will simplify the task of finding a stud when hanging things on the walls. There's more ceiling height than there was in my old shop, which will be nice for handling long boards. Overall, there will be plenty of space for all of my tools and benches, and lots of additional room to add a few more items. So I'm very happy with this space for a temporary shop. It's not my dream shop, but it will do for a couple of years until I can begin construction of the dream shop…right next to the dream cabin in the mountains. Until then, I'll enjoy the space that I have, and the daily visits from my new neighbors.

There's a something of a brouhaha over Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland because yet again the director has strayed from the original source material. Given critical opinion of 'Planet of the Apes'*and to an extent 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' this is understandable. Burton and sci-fi did not work, while C&C Factory was a good fit for Burton but what was with the excessive CGI Oompa Loompa/s?
A conspicous portion of American McGee's Alice PC game concept seems to be incorporated into Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The major plotline is closer to the game than Lewis Carroll's books: An adolescent Alice returns years after her first adventure in Wonderland to find The Red Queen/Queen of Hearts has taken over. She must ultimately fight her and free all her Wonderland friends from tyranny. Carroll's Alice was only 6 years old, fought no one and - though she tried at every opportunity - failed to successfully befriend anyone in Wonderland except for the Cheshire Cat. She did fair better in Looking-glass Land.
The Red Queen is not the Queen of Hearts, but two separate characters in different books - in the film they are merged into one. In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts rules Wonderland and is based on the queen from a deck of playing cards. Her sister is the Duchess and mother of the baby who turns into a pig. In Through the Looking Glass, the Red Queen is from Looking-glass Land and based on the queen from chess. Her ditzy sister is the White Queen.
Announcement, 2007
digital collage
Film adaptations of Caroll's two Alice books usually combine both stories but use Wonderland as the dominant thread with most of the characters from Wonderland. The talking flowers, Tweedledee and Tweedledum are examples of Looking-glass characters which are often incorporated into such productions. Hatta and Haigha are Looking-glass versions of the Mad Hatter and the March Hare sans teaparty. There are few film adaptations of Through the Looking Glass. Perhaps this is because while it is a good read, it doesn't have the same level of clever delight and originality found in Wonderland. Nonetheless the author recommends you read both because they don't write children's stories like this anymore.
In summary Tim Burton has taken his liberties with an existing story/ies but he isn't the first and he won't be the last. So sit back and enjoy the visual feast this movie is sure to be, and hopefully the 'reimagined' plot will follow!

Face masks is a relatively new idea to me because I discovered how beneficiary and fun they are only a few months ago.
I have normal to dry (in the colder months) dehydrated skin and I wanted a weekly step towards really cleaning my skin because I do live in a city, commuting every, so I was looking for something more.
So, today 's post is about clay or "mud" masks. But, first of all, what does a clay mask do?
I have normal to dry (in the colder months) dehydrated skin and I wanted a weekly step towards really cleaning my skin because I do live in a city, commuting every, so I was looking for something more.
So, today 's post is about clay or "mud" masks. But, first of all, what does a clay mask do?
- Deep clean the skin, pulling away all dirt, grime etc that's been building up, especially if you're living in places with high pollution etc.
- Getting rid of dead cells
- Stimulate blood flow
- So you end up with fresh "baby" skin
They're primarly marketed towards combination/oily/acne prone skins but it doesn't mean they can't be used by other skin types, it just takes a little extra care:
I don't let it fully dry before washing it off because if I let it totally dry my skin feels parched afterwards.
How I use them:
Once a week, I apply a moderate amount all over my face, neck and on the upper part of my hands, leave it on for 6-7 minutes and then rinse off. I always follow up with a hydrating mask.
Ren Invisible Pores Detox Mask:
I got this one out of pure curiosity, with a hefty discount on some online store, I think about 17€ final price.
It claims to:
- Reduce the appearance of pore size and blackheads
- Draw out impurities
- Leave the skin purified, smooth and toned
Does it deliver?
I don't have blackheads so I can't tell you about that but it does all the rest.
What I love about it:
- Brilliantly designed package with an little stopper attached to the pump so that it stays shut, keeping the product sanitary and the pump from clogging at the same time.
- Creamy, smooth consistency that spreads very easily
- Doesn't irritate my skin, doesn't feel weird on.
- Easy to wash off.
- Leaves my skin baby soft and fresh
- Parabens, sulfates, mineral oil etc free
What I don't love about it:
At first I used to remove it by rubbing it off while dry and then I washed it off. This way my skin was extra smooth but the sink etc was covered by a fine powder (the dry product I rubbed off my face), very messy to clean!
Glamglow Youthmud Treatment
This is a hyped product and I got it on a whim, when I saw it 35% off at my local Sephora (I think 30+€)
It claims to:
- Leave the skin radiant and glowing
- Activate moisturising collagen synthesis
- Exfoliate
- Tighten skin texture and pores

- Absorb impurities without removing natural oils
- Help to protect against free radical damage
Does it deliver?
Well, as it happens some times when a product is so much praised, it didn't wow me.
My bait was the "radiant and glowing" aspect of this miracle in a jar.
I know that this is a gimmicky way to lure consumers and I should know better but deep down I did hope it will give my dull, tired complexion a little boost, like a mini exotic holidays in a bottle (no, I'm not 5 years old, just a gemini that when reason doesn't prevail I get a liiiitle tiny bit carried away with expectations!)
Leaving the glow mishap aside, it is a very good clay mask, doing more or less the same thing my Ren Detox mask does. It is also paraben free.
What (other) I don't love about it:
- The consistency! I have never seen anything like it. It is a thick paste (you have to shake it up before use, I don't just shake it up, I put it in the washing machine, lol).
- It is difficult to spread it out evenly.
- It has some leaves in it that hang off and make my face look like a salad bowl after lunch.
- It doesn't want to come off and I don't want to use extra pressure because it isn't smooth and I don't want to scratch my face by accident.
- I don't like jars (in general) I find them unsanitary and more chances for the product to go bad faster.
I don't count as a negative the strong tingling sensation because I don't mind nor do I have sensitive skin.
Bottom line: I will definitely use it up but I will not repurchase. Out of the two I definitely prefer the Ren one.
Glamglow on the left, Ren Detox on the right
Word of notice: when you use a product for the first tine, skincare more so, always test it on your arm before use. You never now if there is something in it that will irritate your skin.
What's your favorite mask?
That's it for now, I hope you are all well and thriving!

The issue is not whether we will make mistakes as leaders. The real issues are how we respond when they happen and what we learn as a result.
This four-step process will help you increase your credibility and retain your sanity when a leadership mistake occurs in spite of your best efforts:
- Perform triage to contain whatever has happened.
- Create a system to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
- Forgive yourself—and move on.
- Share the mistake with others so they can avoid committing it themselves.
Jaime Richardson headed up marketing for a national manufacturing company. Her team produced an expensive printed calendar to send out to all customers. The theme of the calendar was quality, and the key message was about how the company embedded quality in everything they did. When the calendars arrived from the printer, Jaime grabbed one from the box, and as her team gathered around, she flipped through it, excited to see the finished product.
The calendar was beautiful, reflecting their quality message with vibrant color and images. But when Jaime got to August, her eyes opened wide. Instead of August 28, August 38 appeared in large black letters.
Her team was devastated. They'd worked so hard to produce a high-quality marketing piece to reinforce their commitment to quality—and the irony was that their customer gift contained a mistake. Jamie called the printer immediately, but the calendars had already been sent out to every customer on their list. Here's how she followed the four-step leadership recovery process:
- Perform triage to control what happened: The first thing Jaime did was inform her boss and propose a recovery plan. He was impressed with both her plan and how quickly she'd come up with it. He agreed. Jamie immediately asked the printer to correct and produce a new set of calendars and sent them out with a note from the CEO to all customers explaining that the first batch contained a mistake, and so they were sending out a correction. In the note, she also took the opportunity to reinforce that providing the highest level of quality was their commitment to customers and that they would always make things right. The CEO received notes from several customers thanking him, and in the end, the mistake turned out to increase their credibility with customers.
- Create a system to avoid a similar mistake in the future: Jaime and a member of her team had carefully proofed that calendar more than once. Unfortunately, one of the executives had come down and requested a small, last-minute change. Because they only proofed the requested change, they didn't see that somehow in the process a typo was entered for the August page. To avoid any similar mistakes in the future, Jamie and her team devised a new process for managing last-minute changes.
- Forgive yourself and move on: When Jaime went in to apologize yet another time, her boss said, "Well, did any babies die?" Jaime was so surprised, she couldn't think of a thing to say. Her boss just smiled and said, "Look, if you're not making any mistakes, you're not growing. And if you're not growing, you'll never be the leader I know you can be. This isn't the worst thing that could have happened. Let it go."
- Share the mistake with others so they can avoid committing it themselves: Jaime used this story to help train new employees when they joined her team, and even more important to reinforce the fact that everyone makes mistakes. She also shared it during a speech she gave to her professional association, and the fact that she was so open about her department's mistake caused others to share and everyone learned more in the process.
In order to grow, every one of us needs to reach and risk. Sometimes we will make mistakes. But as Marvin Weisbord said in his book, Productive Workplaces, "Unless we make our own mistakes and learn to forgive ourselves, we cannot learn at all."
How have you recovered from the mistakes you have made on the job?

Marketplace Helps People Who Are Not Eligible for Medicaid or Employer Based Coverage
With one application individuals and families can be evaluated for their eligibility for Medicaid/CHP+ and tax credits to help pay for private insurance in the Marketplace. The Marketplace is for U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents and all other lawfully present immigrants who currently buy insurance on their own, who are uninsured, or don't have access to affordable coverage through their employer. Note: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) permit holders are not eligible.
Tax Credit Lowers Your Monthly Premium
If you are eligible for tax credits they can be applied directly to your monthly premiums in order to reduce your monthly payment. Tax credits are calculated by the Marketplace using your estimated 2019 household income. Use Connect for Health's Quick Cost and Plan Finder Tool to estimate your tax credit amount. To find out what counts as gross income, visit Health Reform: Beyond the Basics to see the formula for calculating Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI).
Financial Assistance Reduces the Cost of Insurance
Financial assistance in the form of tax credits and cost share reductions is available for plans purchased through Connect for Health Colorado. Many households assume they earn too much to qualify. A household of four earning up to $100,400 may still qualify for financial assistance to reduce the costs of premiums. Not sure about your household's eligibility? Meet with a Health Coverage Guide to see if your family qualifies for tax credits.

Health Care Reform: The Affordable Care Act Remains the Law
The passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2010 created a number of changes in the private and public health insurance system. The Affordable Care Act remains the law and the requirements, financial assistance, and protections put forth by the Act are still in place.
Key Changes Are Still in Place
- Young adults can remain on their parents' health insurance until age 26.
- Insurers cannot deny coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions or exclude those conditions from coverage.
- Advance premium tax credits and cost share reductions are still available for individuals who qualify.
- Certain preventive health services, like an annual check-up, are covered at no cost to Coloradans through their plan's network.
Insurance Requirements
The 2014 federal law that mandated that all individuals are required to have health insurance remains in effect. The only change to the law is that the penalty for being uninsured will not be in effect in 2019. There continue to be exemptions to the requirement, including people who have certain religious beliefs, people who are members of a federally recognized tribe or who cannot find an affordable health plan. People who are not lawfully present in the United States and people who are incarcerated are also not subject to the mandate. Health insurance in universally considered a cornerstone to protecting your physical and financial health.
More People Are Accessing Affordable Insurance
In 2017 Boulder County saw a historically low rate of just 4% of residents remaining uninsured. Maintain your coverage with the financial benefits available.
- More individuals than ever are able to qualify under Medicaid Expansion for Health First Colorado, Colorado's Medicaid program.
- A Premium Tax Credit helps eligible families reduce the cost of their monthly premium when they purchase insurance through the Connect for Health Colorado website.
Tax Resources
There are three forms for you and the IRS to use that indicate your insurance coverage history each year.
Individuals who have obtained insurance through the Marketplace will receive this form showing their months of coverage and any applicable tax credits.
Individuals who have been covered by Medicaid or CHP+ will receive this form showing their months of coverage.
Individuals who were offered coverage through their employer will receive this form indicating the months for which they were eligible for coverage. In some cases, the form also includes information on whether individuals and dependents were enrolled in health coverage offered by their employer. The employer is also expected to report this information to the IRS.
Form 8965
This form is used to show gaps in coverage and to apply for exemptions to the tax penalty for not having coverage.
Form 8962
This form is used to calculate your final tax credit amount based on your actual income earned. This information is then reconciled to the tax credits that were paid out on your behalf during the year based on the income estimate you used when you applied for assistance.
If you had Marketplace coverage in 2019 you should receive your 1095-A form by the end of February 2020. You can access your 1095-A form through your Connect for Health account in the "My Documents" section.
If you had Medicaid or CHP+ in 2019 you should receive your 1095-B form by the end of February 2020. You can access your 1095-B form through your PEAK account in the "Communications" section.
