I love eating fish. If people who loves eating veggies are called vegetarians, then call me a "pescetarian".
Yes, I prefer eating fish in all its culinary forms than eating pork or beef. Do you know that fish is considered a brain food?
Fish also reduces the risk of heart ailments, stroke, obesity, arthritis, high blood pressure and cancer.
Pork, chicken and beef are usually prepared with chemicals or preservatives that may prove harmful to our health. Moreso, for canned sausages, liver spreads, corned beef and hotdogs.
Fish is likewise an iron builder thus lowering the risk of developing anemia. Mind you, most vegetarians may succumb to anemic deficiencies.
So, don't you wish you were a "pescetarian" like me?

Our Farmer's Market events showcase fresh flowers, fruits and vegetables. The rustic wood and organic greens bring a natural setting that gives guests a fresh taste of California. It is definitely a client favorite!
One of the things that we enjoy about creating a Farmer's Market theme is that there are so many variations that we can do to give your event the personal touch that you are looking for. We love creating custom chalkboard signs and incorporating pops of color through floral design and cart displays. We also have options for guests to take flower arrangements or bags of fruits and vegetables to enjoy after the event. Whether you are looking for herbs and lavender or sunflowers and picnics, we are able to customize your Farmer's Market look for your next corporate event.
Here are a couple of the Farmer's Market looks that we created recently. Take a look!

However, as Oleg, Tan and I expected, the insights gained in Turkey made it a highlight of our research efforts in recent months. Our twin headline conclusions were:
- Turkey has a better-than-even chance of a hard landing, which could be a catalyst for massive turmoil across global financial markets via Western European bank balance sheets.
- Stress in emerging market economies -- and their financial markets -- is largely exogenous. Many of the most pressing EM equity issues are resonating from Washington D.C. through U.S. macro policies (monetary and fiscal) and political swings. The short-term horizon remains treacherous for vulnerable markets, most notably Turkey.
The Backdrop
The Anatolian tiger economy displays symptoms of classic emerging market crisis. Turkey's economy has been overheating in a volatile fashion for a decade. The economy has expanded 3.5 times in local currency since the great financial crisis, largely because of an ever-increasing dependency on credit. Bank assets have increased an eye-popping amount -- more than 5 times in local currency over this period.
This is NOT at all analogous with China's great credit expansion over the past decade (up more than 4 times in local currency). While both economies have been supported by generous increases in leverage, China's has been funded almost entirely through high levels of domestic savings (which last year fell to 45% of GDP), while Turkey has imported capital in ever-increasing dollops.
Domestic savings, or the lack thereof, is THE growth constraint on large swathes of the developing world, including most of Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central/Eastern Europe. Unlike China, Turkey's saving rate at approximately 25% of GDP2 fell far short of its investment needs, leaving the country with the largest external imbalances among G-20 and large emerging markets. Moreover, Turkey's excessive investment growth was largely indulged in the construction sector, which creates little if any long-term competitiveness for the economy.
Enter the decade-long carry trade, which was sponsored by troubled neighbors in Europe and synthetic interest rates globally. The fallout is an unsustainable boom in the Anatolian tiger economy and heightened insobriety in corporate balance sheets.
Clouds Gathering over Sunny Istanbul
Symptoms of Turkey's overheating economy include elevated inflation, an enormous current account deficit, a boom in unproductive asset investments (real estate, public infrastructure), a widening currency mismatch between corporate assets and liabilities, and pressure on the Turkish lira.
Turkey is in trouble. Investors know this: The Turkish lira is down 24% year-to-date and 122% over the past five years versus the euro. Corporates know this: They are trying to restructure foreign debt maturities and de-lever with non-core asset sales. The banks now know this too: As levered entities, they are stuck as intermediaries between foreign borrowings and corporate loan clients.
The two unanswerable questions are:
1) Does Ankara (the new-old administration) get it and is it willing to do something about it?
2) Given that the global liquidity tide continues to recede, has the global monetary backdrop changed too dramatically to accommodate anything but a likely hard landing?
These are two unpalatable options, and the choice may not be in Turkey's hands.
Between a Rock and a Hard Place
At some point, Ankara also needs to re-anchor to a supranational body, for example, through renewed European Union ascendency discussions. This will help repair the deep damage suffered by the country's institutional pillars (judiciary independence, press freedom, central bank independence, and bureaucratic transparency and accountability) that has occurred in the past decade as the Justice and Development Party (AKP) replaced the former "deep state" of secular Turkey with a new set of favored untouchables. Alas, we think this agenda is unlikely to be implemented by the country's increasingly controversial populist leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Instead, muddling through -- with consistent impulses to grow beyond Turkey's saving limits -- is a more likely scenario.
This brings us to Washington. Turkey's fate, i.e. whether it has a soft or hard landing, is likely more in the hands of Washington (the Fed, the dollar, global political risks) and Brussels (ECB) than Ankara. This is a theme we will come back to in other notes from the field, namely that many of recent wobbles in the emerging markets are a direct result of policy moves in Washington. This includes headline grabbers like trade wars (China, Korea, Mexico), geopolitics (China, Russia), and monetary normalization (Turkey, Argentina, South Africa).
While the corporates we met during our trip were reasonably well managed, many appear lacking the long-term view needed to deal with the new realities they face. Instead, they are more inclined to either preserve capital or expand marginally outside of Turkey. To some extent, valuations reflect these unfavorable circumstances but the fragile currency, increasingly un-accommodative external environment, and populist government raise the chances of a broad earnings wipeout outside of a very specific group of U.S. dollar earners. Eventually Turkish assets will become interesting to own, but perhaps at a different risk-reward profile.
Navigating the Volatility
At the beginning of 2018, we raised the red flag about volatility as the return of inflation and rising rates made a retreat in global liquidity inevitable. Volatility is not new to us -- over the almost 23-year history of this strategy, we have navigated several crises in EM. In fact, volatile markets have historically been where we excel. Why? Volatility creates opportunities for skilled active managers and represents a threat for momentum or passive strategies that do not, or cannot, discern the underlying drivers and risks of individual companies or the markets in which they operate. We believe this environment favors those with an idiosyncratic approach and we remain focused on unearthing extraordinary companies with real options that manifest over time, paying appropriate prices and constructing a durable portfolio that is well-positioned to outperform.

"A fantastic holiday and we will definitely be back"
*** Prime position on the favoured edge of St Christopher's Village ***
Villa Swalletta is one of the best located villas on the development. A wonderfully furnished 3-bed holiday home in a prime position on the favoured edge of the St Christopher's Village Development with superb views of the surrounding countryside with its rolling hills, valleys, olive trees and orange groves.
"Villa Swalletta is the perfect place to relax, unwind & soak up the sunshine in beautiful & peaceful surroundings. Organisation was excellent from the directions down to the selection of guidebooks & info provided at the villa. A fantastic holiday, we will definitely be back."
Nathan & Laila.
"Wonderful holiday! Well-organised, good information and fast support from Tracy and the caretakers in Cyprus. First time in a long time we were sad to be going home."
Keith, Marion & family.
Click here to see what our guests say about us and Villa Swalletta
If you are looking to experience the traditional Cyprus, then Villa Swalletta is the perfect property for you. The villa is a wonderful place to escape from the rat-race of every day life back home. Set amongst traditional Cypriot villages, away from the noisy, hustle and bustle of the busy tourist areas. Here you can truly relax, unwind and enjoy the marvellous views, scenic drives, long walks, bike rides, jogging and sunbathing. The Troodos mountains are within driving distance and offer cool tranquility in summer. There are also many archaeological sites that Cyprus' 10,000 year old history has to offer.
Villa Swalletta is another superb 3-bedroom property on the very edge of the popular Saint Christopher's Village development. Stylish and modern interiors (sleeping 6-8 - sofa-bed in lounge), it has its own private pool and uninterrupted views out towards the rolling hills of Anafotida and the surrounding area. Finished to an extremely high standard with tiled floors throughout and superior furnishings - Villa Swalletta is a fantastic holiday home. The villa also has free WiFi / Internet access.
FOR BABIES: stair gate, travel cot with babies bed linen and extra thick mattress, highchair, plastic plates, cutlery, kids pool/beach towels and lots of pool toys.
Villa Swalletta also benefits from a selection of games for adults and children including: chess, dominos, playing cards, a giant kids puzzle, bricks and so on for everyone to enjoy. There is also a DVD player and a selection of DVDs for both adults and children. You can check out the DVDs available in our Entertainment Guide, supplied to everyone who books the villa. Great for those days when the kids have had enough sun - or you simply want to chill and relax inside the villa in the evenings.
Only 400m-500m from the local supermarket, charming tavernas and bars in Anafotida itself and a short drive to Mazotos or Anglisides where there is a wider selection of shops, supermarkets, bakers, pharmacy and other bars and restaurants.
The nearest airport to Villa Swalletta is Larnaca which will take approximately 15 minutes through wonderful traditional Cypriot villages along the coastline and scenic country roads. It really is a lovely start to your holiday as you meander up in to the villages through the beautiful countryside and mountains that surround the property. We provide you with very comprehensive directions so you have no problem finding the property from Larnaca airport. You can also fly in to Paphos airport which is approx 1-1 1/2 hours drive away along very good motorways.
The local well-stocked shop in Anafotida Village - close to the villa.
The property includes:
The Area
Cyprus is a wonderful island of contrasts. Where else could you ski in the morning and then be sunning yourself by the pool in the afternoon!!!!???
SKIING - Skiing is usually available in the winter months from the beginning of January to the end of March. There are 5 slopes and 4 lifts (Hera, Aphrodite, Hermes and Zeus) and runs vary in ability for beginners through to advanced and they even offer routes for cross country skiers. You can hire equipment at the Cyprus Ski Club "ski shop". Get there early though, as, on a busy weekend, the best equipment goes very fast! It's approx. 1 hour to Mount Olympus from the villa.
TROODOS MOUNTAINS - Located in the heart of Cyprus, the locals have christened the mountains a "Walker's Paradise" due to the vast array of fabulous trails. But there's no shortage of sporting activities for the energetic amongst you from skiing in the winter to paragliding, mountain bike riding, hiking, running and even rock climbing! There's also a multitude of sightseeing excursions in the Troodos Mountains. Take your pick from Byzantine Cypriot churches to the wine producing villages on the southern Troodos hills. Visit the Venetian Bridges near Tres Elias village or the village of Fini where you can buy some local handmade pottery. Or go and see the monks at the Kykkos Monastery.
ANAFOTIDA - the villa is only 200-300m from Anafotida, a traditional Cypriot village located in the Larnaca District of Cyprus, west of Larnaca. The village is mainly agricultural, with tomatoes being a dominant crop. The village centre is small, but there are 4 churches, 4 cafés (1 is a restaurant), a butcher, a small post office/shop, a bank (no ATM though), a barber shop, a small hairdresser's and a garage.
Cafe Aman: a local favourite with guests. Anafotida village. Stunning sunsets. Fab views.
ANGLISIDES - is about 3km from Anafotida and has numerous cafés, 2 banks with ATMs, a lovely bakers and 2 small garden centres. It also has 2 supermarkets with good supplies to save you going in to Larnaca.
MAZOTOS - located about twelve miles south-west of Larnaca town and 5 mins from the villa, is a traditional Cypriot village, again, primarily of agricultural nature with an abundance of Olive groves to be found in the surrounding area. Whist the village proper is somewhat set back from the coast, a few restaurants and even the Camel Park - a very popular local tourist attraction (great for adults and kids alike), can be found closer to the seafront.
The beach at Mazotos is only 5-10 minutes away where you'll see many people walking along the scenic walkway, fishing or sunbathing.
If you're looking for something a little livelier than Anafotida, Anglisides and Mazotos, then LARNACA, with its vibrant nightlife, is only a 15-20 minute drive away. Alternatively, you could go in to Limassol, which is slightly further along the coast in the opposite direction (approx 30 mins away). As with Larnaca, Limassol has a very varied and vibrant night-life being a popular tourist resort for many years.
AGIA NAPA, PROTARAS and PERNERA are about a 40 minute drive along the A3 motorway from the villa. Here you'll find a multitude of attractions, beaches, bars, discos and restaurants. At Agia Napa you can also enjoy the fantastic Water Word Waterpark - the largest themed water park in Europe (it really is worth a trip - we have been there many times). In our 30-page information pack, we give you a wide selection of ideas for your holiday including tourist attractions, restaurants, bars, entertainment, beaches etc. There is also a wide selection of tourist brochures and leaflets in the villa for you to use during your stay.
NOTE: Our 30-page information pack (sent to all confirmed bookings) gives you a lot more information about eating out in the local tavernas, bars and restaurants, entertainment, beaches, tourism and lots, lots more.
Rental Rates and What's Included:
The villa is rented on a weekly basis and prices are in £Sterling per week for the villa, regardless of the number of guests staying. Price includes:

Close Window and Return to Book a Holiday
We do ask our customers for a security/damage deposit of £300 (Sterling) to confirm your reservation. This will be returned within 2 weeks of check out.

Could Learning A Language Benefit Us As We Get Older?
There are many benefits to learning a second language. Aside from learning languages to help us to get around and converse in other countries, having an additional language as a skill could help you in your future career. Perhaps most importantly, learning a language could help us stay healthy as we get older.
The benefits of learning a language
Image: Pexels
Learning a language benefits our brains in many ways. It helps us to make better decisions, makes us sharper and helps with our memories too. You will also develop key listening skills and have opportunities to meet new people and socialize. There are so many resources available today that learning a language can be easy and practical, fitting in around your life and spare time.
Learning a language and dementia
There have been many studies that link learning a language and reducing the risk of dementia in older people. It is believed that being bilingual can delay the onset of dementia by as much as five years versus those who were monolingual. Experts have suggested that languages should be being studied by children from the age of five onwards, and incorporated into university degree programs no matter what the discipline. Even as we get older, continuing to learn has been shown to boost our brain's function and to keep our brains active – showing there's never a bad time to learn.
Is learning a language more difficult at an older age?
Image: Pixabay
There are many reasons why learning a language is easier at a young age, but there's no reason why it should become more difficult as we get older. Our cognitive abilities are fully developed by the time we reach adulthood, which makes it easier to learn languages faster. Children may be able to soak up a lot of information when they're younger, but when it comes to being able to use a language properly, this wouldn't happen until they were older.
There are also different ways that you can learn a language. For example, you might find that downloading an app and doing regular exercises and quizzes is the best way to learn while others might want to adopt a more formal form of learning. Learning in a classroom environment gives you the chance to meet and practice with others, and share many of the same difficulties.
Learning a language can be done at a pace that suits the learner, but for some people, it may be necessary to learn a language faster for a job or career. There are some online courses which can offer 3 keys to learning English fast if you were looking to move to the US or other English-speaking countries from overseas. Many of the same principles can be applied to any language as useful methods for learning.
As we get older, it's important to seek ways to stay healthy as our bodies and needs change. Finding new challenges like learning a language is a great way to exercise your mind while also looking for ways to keep physically fit. It's never too late to learn a language, so why not start today?

this is an awesome place, it was so welcoming and felt like home! We loved the way the residents are included in helping in the kitchen, clearing tables, doing dishes, wiping tables. They were so comfortable and still able to live life but in a safe environment. we look forward to seeing our mother settle in here!

Not what I expected
I was not impressed with this community when I toured it. The community did not have a clean smell to it. I did not like the apartments as they looked shabby. The doors were all open when you walked down the hallway. This community felt more like a hospital and I did not think this environment would work for my loved one.

Excellent Job Taking Care of My Mother
I'am comfortable with my mother move to this community. Everything is working out well, and she is in good hands. They have a good staff, and they have been attentive, and helpful. They do a good job with the cleanliness, everything looks great when I visit. They are doing an excellent job caring for her, and her needs.

Caring staff!
So far, my mother has been happy with her move to the New Perspective. She is still adjusting, but the staff has all been very accommodating. She has a favorite aide there.

Helping Us Both Get Adjusted
This has been a difficult adjustment for both mother and I. This is a different environment for her, so she is still getting adjusted. This is a lovely community and they are doing their best to care for her. I am pleased knowing she is getting the proper care and I know she is safe. There is many activities for her to try out when she is ready. They are great with helping both of us get adjusted. I recommended it.

I really recommend Lighthouse of Cloquet!
I really recommend this community! The staff is great and makes sure my mom eats and takes her meds. She is is doing well. SHe does have her good and bad days or times of the day, but that's expected. She is in the early stages of Alzheimer's. She does like to socialize. It would be nice if there some more activities for her stage of Alzheimer's. Other residents are content with watching TV or listening to music. My mom likes to have her newspaper to read each day. The full on Alzheimer's patients are in a different area, which helps. There are only 10 residents in her building which helps a lot. Her room is wonderful. My mom said it doesn't stink there, it smells good so she is happy about that. I would say to make sure you follow up and remind them to do some things sometimes, my mom needs some help with paperwork. It is more expensive than I anticipated, but it is memory care so I expected to pay a little more.

I'm at my first year in Medical School, and fortunately we don't have summer classes in our school. I have started practicing the guitar using the "Jamorama" tutorial, and I have been going at it at all my waking moments (almost 8 hours a day).
I am concerned with the adverse effects of continuous practicing like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, etc.. So to remedy that I pace my practice sessions and I do finger exercises on the fretboard when I feel that my fingers are no longer limber.
My usual pattern is: 1 hour practice then a 15-30 minute break. I don't feel any bumps or painful spots along my hand. And after sleeping my hands are still able to play like before.
I really would like to learn how to play the guitar after our 2 month vacation. After our vacation my attention will all be focused on my medical studies. which explains the pace of my practice sessions. I've searched the internet about this and I haven't found a good schedule to follow for this kind of intensive study.
Thank you for replying and for the help.
All good guitarists have practiced for 8 hours a day for months at a time at some point in their life, without permanent damage. Just make sure you have good posture. You might also want to try one of those wrist bands that tennis players use. Jamorama is great, good choice. You might also want to try the Carcassi Method exercises if you have any interest in fingerstyle/classical playing.

Developing Strategic Capability Through Acquisition
The strategic capability of a firm or an industry is about identifying, developing and using its unique resources and core competences to gain competitive advantages in specific market to achieve results. Luxury is as a unique sector and the "allure and exclusivity" are well sought after by consumers, heavily imitated by competitors. The six unique features and competency (heritage, quality, exclusivity, symbolism, aesthetics and price) of luxury brand has led to many successful brand stories and resulting high financial performances. Most importantly, it distinguished the elite few from the masses. Globalization has almost become 'a must" for any profitable luxury brand. Mature markets such as Europe, North America and Japan are at the point of saturation, showing slow down in annual growth. Luxury business models are distinctively unique and cannot be replicated over a short period of years. It takes years and years to develop luxury brands with strong attributes such as know-how and heritage. In addition to that, every successful luxury brand should have unique brand story and values that cannot be copied by another brand. In view of globalization, desired brand exclusivity also limits excessive expansion into more market as it may lead to the mass consumption of these luxury brands. So how does one balance exclusivity and profitability in globalization? What are the practical global strategies for luxury? Is exclusivity still relevant in present context? For decades, acquisition of family owned luxury brands is one of key strategy adopted by luxury conglomerates to diverse their business portfolio, to strengthen control of distribution channels, and to adapt to the emerging market. Recent trends suggest that such acquisition pattern now has expanded into other sectors such as luxury hotels, online retailer and even premium lifestyle brands in domestic markets. What would be the strategy behind these strategic acquisitions? What are the possible synergies of luxury and lifestyle brands for the luxury conglomerate? This paper aim to explore the global strategies of luxury conglomerates through their strategic acquisitions and globalization in new sectors and mature/emerging markets. Key words
Luxury, strategic capabilities, key drivers, vertical acquisition, horizontal acquisition, conglomerates, lifestyle, emerging market, ecommerce, LVMH, Richemont, PPR, Swatch Introduction
"2011 was a pivotal for investment in luxury industry. Just in the early six months, M&A activities in Europe in luxury industry had approached $10 billion." Conglomerates are the major hunters in LVMH acquired Bulgari, Richemont "was said to be sitting on at least $2 billion in cash", PPR bought Brioni, and the Swatch Group cut the dividends in 2009 to "preserve cash to give it flexibility to acquire firms". ("Luxury brands under merger & acquisition pressure", article from www.moneycontrol.com) Comparing to the development towards European harmonization, the luxury industry has experienced profound structural changes, which are absolutely dominated by European companies, especially four predominant European luxury conglomerates. Besides the four major conglomerates, many of companies and brands were involved in acquisitions in the past 15 years. The major acquisition deals happened recently attracted the experts and luxury media, and inspired the discussion about the acquisition as a long-term strategic capability for luxury conglomerates and non-conglomerates in luxury industry.
Strategic capabilities of luxury companies
Brief introduction of luxury industry
Representatives of luxury industry always claim that their business is different form others. This is due partly to large amount of creative designers and craftsmen, and partly to the way brands communicate with customers. Luxury industry involves many segments that have the similar concept of exclusivity, craftsmanship,...

Me, J, High Beam #1, High Beam #2 and Brock when to the Winefest this year at Waterside in Norfolk. The weather was shit but we still ended up having a good time.
I got drunk for the 1st time ever in my life! Who would've thunk that 5-6 glasses of wine wouldve did that to me so quickly?! Once I realized I was faded I started panicking, tweeting, texting, tearing up, calling my mom, dancing w/ no music, and a whole bunch of other random shit! Luckily for ya'll I brought my flipcam so ya'll can share the madness of my 1st public intoxication.
I will NEVER get drunk again.

Sreekantan, BV (2017) Multi-Billion Dollar Projects to find answers to some Fundamental Questions in Physics and Astronomy. [Audio] (Unpublished)
2017-PL-BVS-19April.MP3 - Presentation
Download (48MB)
|Everyone who has an eye and a ear for the happenings in the frontiers of science knows that two major discoveries have been made in the last few years ---the discovery of the Higgs Boson 1n 2012 and of Gravitational Waves in 2015. In both these there has been global participation from different countries of the world. Each one of the experiments has cost the world tens of billion dollars. The production of Gravitational Waves was a consequence of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity proposed in 1915 and the Higgs Boson prediction was a consequence of Quantum Field theory. Apart from these, there are still many subtle issues concerning both these theories that need clarification through further experimentation. Also many projected discoveries in particle physics are awaiting discovery--super symmetric partners of known particles, Proton decay Axions, WIMPS etc. Astronomy has thrown in many surprises, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, whose identity has to be determined the magnetic spectrograph on space station has given new results on primar cosmic rays that contradict ground based and balloon based experimental results of earlier years. To resolve these issues,, mega buck international collaborative ventures are in various stages of undertaking. In this talk an attempt will be made to focus on the scientific importance of these projects and outline the technical details and implementation efforts in different countries.

Anambra Church Massacre,(Ozubulu)
Anambra Church Massacre: See The Photo Of Man Gunmen Allegedly Came For #PrayForOzubulu
Earlier today, residents of Ozubulu were hit by a tragic attack that left many worshippers dead, after gunmen stormed St. Philip's Catholic Church, Amakwa Ozubulu in Anambra state..
However, social media report claim that the attack was a spillover of a drug related feud, between two Ozubulu brothers who live in South Africa.
However, Governor Obiano's Senior Special Assistant, on Social Media, Ifeanyi, revealed that the main matter was said to be between Chief Aloy Ikegwuonu a.k.a Bishop (rumored to be a drug baron), and another Ozubulu man popularly known as Obrocho.
It was gathered that the gunmen had traced him to his house, but were told he had gone to church where he was meant to hold a thanksgiving service.
According to reports, the battle had claimed some lives already over there in South Africa.

International Pillow Fight Day 2014, Trafalgar Square | Photos of London
The first rule of International Pillow Fight Day : You do not attend without a pillow.
I only went to take some pictures, yet ended up battered and bruised. And I was unarmed too, nothing to retaliate with or shield me from the unrelenting attacks from everyone and anyone – isn't that bad pillow fight etiquette? Still, I loved the experience and left with a huge smile across my face.
Despite BoJo's best attempts to prevent pillow fight day taking place at Trafalgar Square (barriers, policemen and 'coincedental' cleaning prevented the event taking place below Nelson's watchful eye), the event was still a success on the North Terrace in front of The National Gallery. There aren't many words needed so I'll let the pictures do the talking… let the feathers fly!
I'm assuming this is the organiser on a megaphone in just his boxers…
Clearly from the expressions, people were not ready to do battle.
He may be smiling but his eye suggests he wants to beat me to death!
I got too close to the action – let the feathers fly!
Some double teamed to create a double whammy of pain!
Some were beaten to the ground…
Someone shouted '10 points for the giraffe!!!'. Others duly accepted the challenge.
A couple of the regular street entertainers joined in full costume, including this guy in a suit who had enough of pillows flying too close to his head and went all Matrix on people's asses!
And a (minor) celebrity graced our presence too, the Silentnight hippo!
Weirdly, there was a man who was not participating or taking pictures but holding a bunch of heart-shaped balloons and paper which said 'when was the last time you said I love you?' – at a pillow fight?
And The National Gallery was such a grand battleground, it looked splendid covered in feathers.
And even though I didn't have a pillow, I still ended up looking like this. I may be smiling but I got numerous feathers in my eye and felt like I swallowed a whole pillow!

Demanding guests in Free Live Chat? Short private chats, with members who only want to jump straight into the action without any social interaction with you? Does this happen with every model? On all webcam sites? What could really be causing it? Is there a way to avoid these kinds of situations? What is the secret to having long Private VideoChats, high quality members while having more fun and less stress at work? Don't worry, throughout this article you will discover the answer to these questions and more!
Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for WebCam Models to feel offended/ abused by unpolite members in their room (Free Live Chat and Private Video Chat) at some point. I define the terms "offensive" and "abusive" as any behavior that disrespects the human being behind the screen. Performing as a WebCam Model is not the same as acting like a porn star following the script of a porno flick. When we are talking about CamGirls we are talking about amateur models offering online live interaction, both social and sexual.
Despite the fact that WebCam Models are working many hours per day (and not filming just one movie per year), in psychological terms it is not possible for the human mind (when healthy and unperverted) to separate these aspects completely. The logic in question is basically the following (or at least it should be along these lines): I can expect to deal with very sick people during my day, but I cannot force myself to get sick as well in order to "secure my employment" or to "develop my career".
All of these points should be obvious, but after 6 years of camming I still feel the necessity to remind my Industry colleagues. At least having the voice to write about it now gives me the opportunity to share what I have learned about how to correct the rude behavior of guests in my room, making them respect me instead of treating me like a living doll.
Some WebCam Models feel as though some guests are coming into their room and mistreating them or not behaving properly. Some claim that guests are rude and demanding and make nonstop requests. If you identify with these scenarios and/or if you would like to have more friendly and talkative members, I hope this article helps you (especially if you are just beginning your career or starting out on a new website and don't have any regulars to "save" you 🙂
If you aren't happy with the way your members are treating you, the first thing you need to do is to change the way you treat yourself. Beautiful in theory but completely useless in practice? No way! I am going to show you how you can do this step by step:
1. Take care of and pay attention to your Model Profile: Maybe you think it's meaningless, but it describes yourself and means a lot: it's you, in a text-based version! Stop trying to impress members and grab their attention with potential keywords unrelated to your real, genuine expectations in your room. Describe yourself by showing them that you're a real person and that they need to respect you as a human being before they enter the room to play with you;
2. Update your Status/Topic of the day: If you are in Free Live Chat and you work on a website which offers an option like "Status" or "Topic" of the day, don't hesitate to advise members: "You are welcome to enter my room if you have the sensibility to understand that I am not a living doll, but a person just like you. The nicer you are to me, the better my performance will be and the more I will want please you";
3. Make sure everybody is reading it: While you are talking to your guests in Free Live Chat, you need to educate them ahead of time to respect you. If they start being disrespectful (and only you can define this limit), just remind them about your status/topic or if it's unavailable, to read your profile. According to my personal experience, 100% of the guests have apologized or left the room without insisting;
4. The website rating system: I have been discussing this problem with a friend and we jointly concluded that the root of the problem is not the members themselves but the rating system of the sites. The rating system forces us, models, to put up with abuse from members because we are afraid of receiving bad ratings as it will make us lose traffic, visibility, and reputation. So my suggestion is for models to talk to members in Free Live Chat before starting a show in Private and make sure they are polite enough;
5. Don't be afraid to lose money: Rude guests who are just looking for a "porn actress to follow a script" NEVER stay more than a few minutes in Private and only make us feel worthless. Big spenders are those who are really involved during Live Interaction which is the real purpose of our job online;
6. Work your self-esteem: Don't let anyone not treat you like a person. You don't have to follow or accept every request, or deal with members who don't bother saying "hi" or "bye." Even if they claim that "they are paying, so you have to do it," the reality is completely different. The idea of a CamGirl job is NOT to act like a sex machine or prerecorded porno movie, but to promote the LIVE INTERACTION between models and members, which includes the social aspect, and that is incontestable!!
The argument that makes the most sense for this whole situation is not entirely related to money (members are paying for a service, as such models need to offer said service without complaining), but mainly to a cultural issue.
Historically, it was possible to find evidence of matriarchal societies during the BC era, in which the figure of the woman was considered sacred and a symbol of fertility, because of her capacity to conceive life. However, following the Ancient Civilizations, the value of women has gradually moved to a secondary position, within a patriarchal society without representation and political rights, confining themselves to domestic and family spheres. Only in the mid-XVIII century, the first movements emerged to fight for autonomy and more egalitarian conditions between the genders. The Human Rights Declaration set the first milestone for the struggle of freedom for all, including based on gender. Since then, many achievements have been reached, such as social representativeness, the right to vote and the labor market, recognition of women's rights by the ONU, etc. However, in spite of the rights achieved, women continue living in this secondary position in our current society, being inferior and suffering innumerable prejudices and violence (not always physical).
This historical reminder is important to remind us that the male rudeness we deal with today in VideoChat has nothing to do with the famous "But they are being paid to…", because when you buy any kind of service, you don't really treat the person serving you like an object (in other words, the service doesn't include the objectification of the person who serves it). What is happening in our rooms is a repetition of well-known macho behavior, incentivized and worsened by website rating systems. The main issue comes from the fact that all members are allowed to rate models, even those who interact with the model for just 1 or 2 minutes in Private – the bad rating negatively effects the model's position on the site.
At this point in the discussion, let's remember that social representations of gender are cultural burdens, the result of centuries of history, marked by inequalities between social roles for men and women. Female objectification is one of these social representations of gender and happens when a woman is reduced to a mere object for patriarchy, ignoring her emotional and psychological aspects, as well as her dignity. Would you like to see some examples of the macho culture in practice and imagine how it could affect a model? I can show you:
• "hi, how are you?" x I AM HORNY
• "could you please stand up?" x SHOW MORE
• "do you mind getting naked?" x CLOTHES OFF
• "do you like playing with yourself?" x TOYS BB
• "I'd love to hear you…" x MOAN MY NAME
I could continue adding to this list until the sun rises tomorrow (or the day after that), but I'll save you the time and effort. I think these sentences are enough to express the main point of the question: the big issue is not content (the show) but the fact that there are two completely different ways to treat the model spending exactly the same amount of time in the room (a.k.a. the same amount of money). After all this dialogue, I think we can assume that there is a real cultural issue behind this situation.
As a final consideration, I can't say that I'm happy to conclude that even after so many centuries, men and women still don't have equal rights. Thus, the struggle for gender equality and female empowerment continues because there is still a long way to go in order to deconstruct the view of male supremacy that has been built and accepted for millennia.
On the other hand, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to write this article in an attempt to help models who share the same professional challenges as me and improve their quality of life and so much more. I am also happy to reach people who occupy other types of positions in the Live Cam Industry because it's one of my goals in life (maybe just a dream?) – to humanize the Industry a little bit more. Once again, many thanks to AW News for giving me the opportunity to voice my thoughts and opinions!

Lost In Space
The other day I turned around and was staring into a big black hole. You probably think that metaphorically speaking I was deep in thought, ruminating about my problems and staring off into the distance.
But I was in my yoga class.
And it wasn't a big black hole, but someone's big black shirt rolled up into a ball and placed at the back of my yoga mat in a crowded class. The class had already started so I didn't feel comfortable picking up the shirt and asking the member (albeit passive-aggressively) if perhaps she could put her shirt into one of the empty cubbies in the back of the room where people put their…you guessed it, clothes and purses!
Now, instead of inhaling and exhaling during downward dog, I pictured the big black shirt behind me turning into a growing sinkhole.
But during that time, it got me thinking about personal space, the lack thereof in NYC, and how claustrophobic and space-aware I've become ever since I moved to the city many years ago.
Are you also starting to turn the corner re: personal space issues?
Big Railroad Blues
I know I'm not alone. The other day, I read my friend Michelle's post on Facebook about her experience on Long Island Railroad. On her commute into work that day, the car she was sitting in was virtually empty. Moments later, someone came into her train car and literally sat right next to her. What possesses people to do that?
Below the belt
The other times I notice personal space issues is at the grocery store. I've only experienced this in NYC when the person behind you acts like they just won the lottery when you tell them that it's okay to start putting their items down on the conveyer belt behind you. Usually, they will stand there holding 10 items till you give them the go ahead that it's okay to share that personal space with you. Does this phenomenon happen in the suburbs too or is this type of behavior restricted to big cities?
Speaking of grocery stores, like many of you, I'm a huge fan of Trader Joe's. But that is definitely a store you don't want to visit on a busy weekend. After navigating tight quarters, you find yourself in a checkout line that wraps around the aisles. Forget an item on your list? There's no going back! Fortunately for me, there are many grocery stores in the city who offer delivery options.
Don't stand, don't stand, don't stand so close to me
My friend Mitchell used to have a 12-inch rule when he went to concerts, especially in small venues where there was only the option of general admission and standing room. He would tell me that there is no reason why anyone has to stand that close to you and 'get up in your grill' by standing closer than 12 inches away. Shortly after Mitchell pointed that out to me, I became hyper aware of how close people stand next to each other at general admission shows! I'm now a big fan of reserved seating.
Giving someone the shaft
One of my favorite observations of 'tight quarters' is on an elevator. Don't you just love when you're the only one on the elevator and the door opens, a person walks in, and stands directly in front of you? Your breath is literally hitting the back of their neck. This happens time and time again and it always cracks me up. Maybe that person thinks the door will open and 12 people will try to pile in and the elevator might run out of space if they move up a few inches.
The lady doth protest too much
As most of you are aware, there are protests happening nationwide weekly. I'm very liberal when it comes to politics and usually agree with the majority, especially these days. I won't get into the specifics (although I'm sure you can read between the lines).
But I have unfortunately drawn the line when it comes to marching in some of the protests where there are wall-to-wall people. Don't get me wrong—I marched in a few—but I do realize that being in large crowds, surrounded by barriers, is a little too intense for me. I always need to know that I have an escape route and sometimes there are none in the crowded narrow streets of NYC.
I continue to be amazed by people who seem unphased by the crowds. I wish I could be one of those people.
Space oddity
Are you like me regarding personal space issues or are you able to go with the flow and somehow rise above the chaos and crowds? What tricks do you employ to help you cope when someone starts encroaching on your personal space? We'd love to hear your stories.
As for me, I'm personally trying to be more tolerant in the future…especially in my crowded yoga classes.

Dear Readers and Friends,
What a pleasure to hear so many wonderful comments about our first cookbook: Recipes From Gloria's Restaurant in New York City. You told us that you liked the detailed recipe descriptions with photos to help you with every step.
With that much positive energy, we decided to put together a second book of recipes from my mother's restaurant. Judy, Barbara, Henry and I once again converged on Barb's kitchen in Bainbridge, Georgia to put together more of my mother's delicious Italian recipes.
It's an odd feeling to look back half a lifetime to the days when I was a young lady with three children working for my mother. My mother and I along with Todd the waiter and Sisie the dishwasher lived in the same brownstone walk-up on Third Avenue and 28th Street - two blocks from the restaurant. And it's sad to think that there are so few people still alive who remember my mother's obsessions and craziness mixed together, like one of her recipes, with her kindness and love. In a small way, I hope these recipes keep her memory and influence alive.
A special thank you to Barb for loaning me Henry, her husband (who is also my ex-husband), to handle the logistics for this second cookbook that I want to call: More Recipes and Stories from Gloria's Restaurant in New York City. How the four of us fit together in Barb's small house with its two tiny bedrooms is a discussion for another time. Or maybe another book. (Hint: Henry likes to spend time in his woodworking shop.)
This book is divided into two sections: (1) More recipes from my mother; and (2) Stories from the restaurant.

Sailor Moon is one of the most popular animes to ever exist, and it's two cat guardians, Luna and Artemis, are part of the reason why.
While the joy, hope, determination, and spirits of the young Sailor Scouts inspire fans, the cat duo lead the way. Without their feline friends, the group never would have succeeded as much as they did.
Also, of course, who can resist a furry companion?
The Sailor Scouts go through a lot of hardships and their cats are what guide their way. Luna and Artemis give advice, tools, information, support, and friendship.
They follow the scouts through their entire journey and make them better heroes along the way. While a cat isn't the first mentor one would think of, in Sailor Moon, they fit just right.
However, the beloved Luna and Artemis do have their flaws. Some of the things about them are incredibly cryptic, confusing, and even nonsensical.
They may help save the universe, but they aren't free from scrutiny.
Here are the 21 Things About Artemis and Luna That Don't Make Sense.
21 Their Separation on Earth
Queen Serenity sent her cat advisors to Earth so that they could find the Sailor Scouts. However, instead of sending them together, she sent the two cats to separate places.
While that does give them a wider search area, the pair could have used each other in their mission.
Alone, Sailor Venus is the only scout he discovers. Luna discovers the rest.
As all of the scouts were reborn in Tokyo, it didn't make any sense to separate Luna and Artemis at all.
If they had stayed together, Minako would have joined the rest of the Sailor Scouts much earlier.
This means that Luna and Artemis could have become a more effective mentoring team much quicker.
20 Their Daughter From The Future
One of the strangest part of the series was including Chibiusa and Diana, as these characters aren't just time-travelers from the future, but the children of Usagi and Mamoru and Artemis and Luna, respectively.
Sailor Moon is known for being creative, but sending kids back in time is a bit strange even by its standards.
Sending the kids back is particularly dangerous because their parents can't care for them and they could perish on the other end.
The decision seems too dangerous and really reflects poor judgment on future Artemix and Luna as parents.
After all, despite Diana and Chibiusa's abilities, they are still children in the context of the immortal Crystal Tokyo.
Chibiusa is 902, but she is also the body and whims of a seven year old. Diana is similar.
19 Luna's Teasing of Artemis
Luna, while a mentor and friend, is also very condescending to both Usagi and Artemis.
Oddly enough, though, these are the people she cares about most. She is the stricter of the two cat advisers, and perhaps her slights make sense for the young Usagi, but they don't for Artemis, despite the fact that he's meant to be her partner, her companion, and the love of her life.
Witty banter is fun, but Luna's always pushes the line a little to seem unkind.
Sometimes what she says makes it seem like she doesn't love Artemis at all, which is hardly the truth.
Her quips put an odd strain and weird power dynamic in their relationship. Even if it's meant in good faith, Luna never should berate people she loves so much.
It may be funny for others, but it's not funny for them.
18 Their Normal Cat Behavior
Sailor Moon reveals that its furry guides aren't just cats who talk. They are actually aliens from a different planet. It's a fascinating part of Luna and Artemis' characters.
However, it is a bit disjointed that they do have the same cat-like behaviors as earth cats since they're supposed to be aliens.
It's already pretty unbelievable that their two forms look like cats and humanoids. The addition of them, at times, acting like normal house cats pushes that disbelief over the edge.
After all, wouldn't a wizened adviser find belly scratches or cat treats a little undignified?
Furthermore, it's simply lazy writing. It could have been fascinating to see more difference between these creatures of Mau and the earth creatures they look like.
17 Their Use of Computers
A mind-blowing part of the original Sailor Moon series was its use of computers. Computers for recreational use were fairly novel.
Some characters, like Usagi, didn't know how to use them much except for video games. This makes it even more astounding that Luna and Artemis are heavily fluent in computers.
They both manipulate programs, accumulate data, and communicate through them.
How did two cat-like aliens learn to be proficient in computer science? Who knows.
The Moon Kingdom itself was high tech in its crystal power, but it didn't seem high tech in circuitry.
They also probably would have had to learn from someone, as computers are hard to pick up without long-term exposure.
However, in Sailor Moon, no questions asked, cats are just computer whizzes.
16 Luna and Artemis' Erased Memories
When Queen Serenity sent her advisers Luna and Artemis to Earth to guide and protect the reborn Sailor Scouts, she erased everyone's memories.
Doing this for the Sailor Scouts allowed them to have regular upbringings before reclaiming their lost pasts.
Artemis and Luna, though, never should have lost this memories. Not having their full memories only made it harder for them to reconnect all the scouts.
If this was the case, Luna never would have mistaken Ami for a villian. She would have recognized Rei faster. There would be far less confusion about the identity of Tuxedo Mask.
Also, most importantly, the identity of Princess Serenity wouldn't have been some obscure mystery.
To be their most effective, the duo should have kept their memories to get the team up to speed much faster than they did.
However, instead, they remained nearly clueless for far too long.
15 The Group Never Visiting Planet Mau
Sailor Moon, understandably, focuses a lot on the history of the Moon Kingdom and its various affiliates. When the Scouts go into space, those are the places they go to.
However, for all Luna's and Artemis' involvement, the group never goes to their homeworld, Mau.
Mau has fallen under some terrible times, as its Sailor Scout has been overthrown and a new person is stealing her powers.
Instead of going to help resolve the chaos of their planet, though, the cat advisers and their team never go there at all.
It would already make sense to visit at least once because the cats come from there. However, it makes even less sense because the planet is in turmoil and the Sailor Scouts could really help out.
There could have been an entire arc about going to and saving Mau, but instead it's only mentioned in passing.
14 Their Gender Swaps
In most versions of Sailor Moon, Artemis is a boy and Luna is a girl. However, two different dubs have some contrary opinions on that. In Portugal and France, the dubs of the series switched the gender roles of the two characters.
In France, they simply made a mistake, assuming Artemis was a girl. Partway through their broadcasting of the show, they realize the error and fix it. Their gender swapping was just a tremendous oversight.
Portugal, however, is more fascinating. They made Luna a boy and changed Artemis into a girl, even changed his name to Artemisa.
It's unknown why they thought this was a necessary change.
Unlike France, though, they stuck with their decision. Ergo, in Portugal, Luna is a guy now.
13 Artemis Secretly Advising Luna
In Sailor Moon, Luna used a computer with a specific password to accumulate data and reference some information.
What she didn't know was that one of her sources was actually Artemis, advising her in disguise. She only finds out it's him when, once, he makes the mistake of showing his face on screen.
However, Artemis' decision to keep his assistance secret doesn't make any sense.
There's no reason why he shouldn't just come out and tell Luna it's him. This would have connected them much quicker and would have made her group of Sailor Scouts aware of him and Sailor V much faster.
Also, Artemis could have gotten appreciation for his help, instead of just being some nameless stranger behind a screen.
Their mission, and his relationship with Luna, could have progressed earlier.
12 Where They Hide Sailor Tools
Early on in the series, Luna slowly reveals different tools and items to Usagi and her friends to use.
For example, she's the one who gives Usagi, Ami, Rei, and Makoto their original sailor scepters. Similarly, Artemis must have done this for Minako.
These tools become vital to the girls' ability to fight off evil.
There is one very inexpiable part about all of this, though: where do these tools come from?
When Luna summons these tools, she sometimes jumps and they appear out of thin air, or she simply kicks them over to the girls.
However, it's never explained where these tools come from, where they're stored, or if they exist in some odd storage plane only Luna and Artemis can access, etc.
These two cats create powerful weapons from thin air. It's baffling.
11 Cats Counseling a Queen
Queen Serenity ruled over all of the Moon Kingdom on her own, created the Sailor Scouts and raisingher heroic daughter.
To get so much done, obviously she needed help. However, it's a bit surprising that her help came in the form of two alien cats.
Artemis and Luna are good friends and wise do-gooders, but they aren't the most logical counsel.
After all, they are the only cats off Mau that the series shows. What made them particularly good advisers instead of anyone around her?
It's not their abilities that are in question. The question is more about why Serenity trusted alien cats over anyone else and why they left Mau to be advisers to a humanoid queen.
There is a lot of the Moon Kingdom's past shrouded in mystery and little of it can be explained.
10 Artemis' Crush on Sailor Venus
Artemis, fascinating as he is, has a bit of a secret: he has a crush on his Sailor companion, Sailor Venus.
While Luna juggled her four wards, Artemis and Minako spent a lot of time on their own trying to protect the world from evil. They grow so close that he often uses her pet name, Mina, and they are nearly inseparable.
Mina sees Artemis as her best friend, but Artemis is a little more affected by her kindness and beauty.
Is it weird he's a cat alien? Of course. Is it also weird she's fourteen? Definitely.
Though Artemis harbors this crush on her, he never acts on it.
It's unknown if he still feels this way, even if his one true love is Luna.
9 The Pair's Alien Origins
When fans first meet Luna, she just seems like a strange, hyper-intelligent cat from the past.
However, as Sailor Moon develops, it's revealed that Luna and Artemis aren't cats at all. They are aliens from a planet called Mau. There, all the people look like cats.
It's not just a planet full of cats, though. The residents of Mau are all highly intelligent and each have a humanoid form they can take, though they can't maintain it for long.
The planet is prominent enough to even have its own Sailor Scout, though she was defeated and her powers were stolen.
Other than that, not much is known about the mysterious race.
Overall, though, fans know that Luna and Artemis are so much more than meets the eye.
8 Their Inconsistent Ability to Recognize Sailor Power
Luna is the one who awakens the majority of the Sailor Scouts, while Artemis is in London with Minako. The wise cat has a varying ability to identify the girls, however, and it causes Usagi and friends some trouble.
For example, she recognizes Usagi's abilities nearly on sight. No other scout is quite as easy.
When it comes to Ami, Luna could tell she had great power, but mistook that power for evil. This led to Usagi stalking poor Ami until they realized the truth.
For Rei, Luna didn't notice her power at all until her Mars power symbol showed up on her forehead.
As for Makoto, Luna mentions feeling a "power within her" upon meeting, but ignores it otherwise. Then, symbol shows up and Luna awakens her powers.
Luna is wildly inconsistent in her ability to recognize scouts and it's senseless at best.
7 Luna Thinking Diana Isn't Her Daughter
When Diana first appeared, she caused a lot of tension between the two leading cats.
Luna, for unknown reasons, thought that Diana couldn't be her daughter and assumed Artemis cheated on her/left her in the future.
This made Luna very sad for awhile, as she believed that Artemis had betrayed her trust.
Diana, however, looks like a perfect blend of Luna and Artemis.
Also, since it's known she came from the future, it's obvious that it's they're daughter.
While Luna showing her deep feelings for Artemis is sweet, it's an illogical reaction.
Look at the gray skin, the face, the companionship with a Sailor Scout. Diana couldn't be anything but hers. However, sometimes wild assumptions make for for good drama.
6 Their Unused Human Forms
All cats from Mau are extra special because of their ability to take on a human form.
While they can only use it for a little while, it is a seriously fascinating aspect of their race.
It even could be very useful in getting Luna and Artemis into places where cats aren't allowed, or as a way to distract or trick enemies.
Despite the possible uses for this human form, neither cat uses it at all during the anime. Luna only uses her human form once, during the Sailor Moon S movie. However, even then, it's to kiss a human, where her priorities are a tad askew.
Though it's understandable not to use the power too much, it's crazy that the cats never use their human forms to help the Sailor Scouts.
5 Luna's Poorly Timed Warnings
Luna, especially early on, leads Usagi on wild investigations around town to find sources of evil.
Unfortunately, Luna also overestimates Usagi's reaction skills.
Many times, Luna leads Sailor Moon and friends into danger, only to give them warnings after the danger's already afoot.
For example, in one episode, an enemy is using clocks to drain people's energy. Luna finds Usagi's clock suspicious, and even dangerous, but doesn't tell Usagi this until she's already suffering the effects.
This almost gets Usagi seriously hurt during a fight.
Luna always finds good leads and helps pull things out at the end of the day, but it would be better if these kind of situations could have been avoided.
Her warnings could use much better timing.
4 Their Unnaturally Long Lives
Luna and Artemis' ages are obscure, but decidedly much older than the age of average cats.
When the Moon Kingdom existed, the two were old and wise enough to be advisers to the queen. Then she sent them to Earth, where they waited for the Sailor Scouts for many years.
Then, they lived unknown amount of years to marry and have Diana, the cat companion of the 900 year old Chibiusa.
In theory, they cats could easily be over a thousand years old.
While not vital to the plot, revealing their ages would have added depth to their characters and the abilities of their race.
The cats of Mau are relatively unknown, other than what we see from these two. More information would have made sense. Instead, fans are left in the dark.
3 Their Poor Life Mentorship
Luna and Artemis are the best mentors the Sailor Scouts could ever ask for. However, they are also the worst mentors for teenage girls.
When it comes to saving the world, the cat pair are fantastic, helpful, and wise. When it comes to life, they're judgmental, goofy, and sometimes just as immature.
Luna is off-puttingly critical, and Artemis, when there isn't a fight, is not very serious.
Because of this, they don't guide the girls very well in their personal lives.
This kind of disjointed mentorship might be why Usagi spent so much time hiding her relationship with Mamoru from her family, why they can't seem to get Rei and Usagi to stop fighting, and why Usagi still cannot pass a test for the life of her.
2 Luna's Attraction to Humans
Artemis isn't the only one with strange affections. Luna falls in love with a few humans – namely, two specific human males: Yaten Kao and Kakeru Ozura.
Luna spends time with Yaten when he's at Usagi's school. He longs to find the one, and Luna grows a crush on the sensitive young man.
Her relationship with Kakeru was a little more serious. The young astronomer saves her from being hit by a car.
She falls in love with his kind heart, but is devastated to hear that he has a girlfriend. Luna uses her human form to get in a kiss before letting him and his lady walk off into the sunset.
It's unfair to say it's crazy for an alien to love a human. However, Luna does seem to fall in love a little too quickly with Earth men.
1 Their Survivability in The Streets of Tokyo
Before finding the Sailor Scouts, Luna and Artemis are forced to wander the streets.
Though this is a horrible life, it's shown that they meet a few people along the way.
Luna, in particular, manages to run into a small pack of wild boys trying to attack her. If it wasn't for Usagi, who knows what would have happened.
The streets of Tokyo aren't very kind to strays. The fifth episode of the series, surrounding the effects of evil pets, shows the conditions of strays.
While kids are distracted by the evil Chanela, they ignore a puppy whose taken to eating trash to live.
Any city streets are cruel towards strays. Artemis and Luna were lucky to survive, even if they are intelligent aliens.
Did we miss anything else strange about Luna and Artemis in Sailor Moon? Let us know in the comments!

Bain's talk came only a few hours after Apple announced the deep integration their iOS 5 would see with Twitter, so I'm sure he was pretty excited to share some of the high engagement numbers that Twitter ads – also known as Promoted Tweets, Trends and Accounts – have been seeing.According to Fortune, Bain started off by piquing marketers' and brands' interest: one of the first 10 follows that a new Twitter users chooses is some sort of brand, and between 20 and 40 percent of all users follow at least one.Talking in more detail, Bain said that, while Twitter measures engagement along a number of points, the largest is click-throughs on links shared on promoted content: 80% of all Twitter engagement consists of link clicking. The remaining 20 percent are retweets and @mentions or @replies. His analysis of this 20 percent is that people view Promoted Products not as ads, but as content that they feel is worth retweeting.And, perhaps one of the most telling numbers, is the fact that participants in Twitter's Promoted Product line went from just six when they launched a year ago in April, to over 600 advertising partners today.Twitter's advertising solution is growing among marketers, and their plans to roll out a self-serve dashboard in the future will only speed up the adoption rate among brands looking for a social media foothold.Image courtesy of Fortune Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kaL6qm copy Adweek Adweek
