Westminster politics is a mess and the MPs of UK Labour and the Conservatives are at odds with the views of their grassroots. Many MPs on the Conservative pro-Brexit right are rebelling against Theresa May but until the Brexit deal is done are not willing to move against her. Many on the Conservative left are at odds with the hardline Brexiteers and won't tolerate a Boris Johnson, Michael Gove or David Davis leadership.
Labour are arguably in a worse position. The better than predicted 2017 election result was delivered by Theresa May's awful campaign and not really by Jeremy Corbyn, but it bought Corbyn time. Time to win over the 172 Labour MPs who had previously passed a motion of no confidence in Corbyn's leadership, but he isn't doing much with it and Corbyn-mania is busted flush.
YouGov who have been recently showing a Labour lead of one or two points is now suggesting a 38% to 38% tie. Think about that: the worst Conservative Prime Minister of all time, massive political infighting within the government, Brexit mismanagement and a plethora of ministerial resignations and Labour can't even maintain a tiny poll lead.
Labour's anti-Semitism row is obviously a gift to the mainstream media but entirely predictable. In this column three years ago during Corbyn's initial leadership challenge I wrote: "If Corbyn wins, Labour party infighting and unbridled press character assassination will combine with the weight of corporate London to sink Labour in the UK polls".[Read more: Labour reverting to 1983 could lead to Scottish independence ]
So we have 185 pro-EU Tories with at least 15 in open rebellion against the influence of the hard Brexit minority and 172 Labour rebels who passed a motion of no-confidence in Corbyn in 2016. We also have 80 or so Tory MPs in constituencies that voted Remain, voters who won't relent and MP that supports anything other than a Brexit that at least includes single market access.
The last time this dynamic existed was when Michael Foot and Margaret Thatcher were opponents and those extremes led to the formation of a third party, the Social Democratic Party (the SDP) that aimed to win the centre ground.
It has become a genuine possibility that history will repeat itself.
The SDP formed in 1981 and entered an electoral pact with the Liberal Party, (the SDP Liberal Alliance). The new party had momentum and Thatcher's Government was unpopular until Argentina invaded the Falklands. Winning that conflict allowed Thatcher to call and win an early election in 1983. The Alliance still won 25.4% of the vote compared to Labour's 27.6%. However, given the spread of the SDP Alliance support (they came second in hundreds of constituencies) they only returned 23 Alliance (MPs) compared to Labour's 209.
More recently, Ukip tilted at the windmills, in 2015 securing 13% of the vote but returned only one MP (a Conservative switcher). They did gain nearly 500 Councillors (none in Scotland) and 24 MEPs. So although they were miles from power they did have enough resources to mount a campaign that changed the narrative on the EU, but didn't breach the Westminster system.
So the conditions are right, just as they were in the 1980s, for a new centrist party to emerge and crucially Brexit adds an extra dimension, a problem that represents a clear danger to prosperity, a problem crying out for a new party with an answer.
In the EU referendum 39% of Tory voters, 65% of Labour voters and 68% of LibDem supporters voted Remain so there is a huge swathe of the electorate that would naturally gravitate to a credible third party. Polls by ComRes and BMG confirm this, suggesting 42% of voters in England would consider voting for such a party.
Such a bold move would need five characteristics to break the two party system:
1) Money
Former Tory donor and founder of Love Film, Simon Franks, is rumoured to have a group with £50 million to back such a move.
2) Big names
That could include some Tories as well as the Blairite Labour MPs and flailing Liberals (let's face it, any half decent dating site would match them instantly).
A group with some of the following: Nicky Morgan, Anna Soubry, Chuka Umunna, Lord Adonis, Stephen Hammond, Angela Eagle, Stephen Kinnock, Liz Kendall, Vince Cable… would be credible. With 70 or so Labour rebels, 15 Tories and the LibDems they could form a block with nearly 100 MPs, enough to force an election.
Update 07/07/18: iNews reports several of those listed above are looking to take back control of Labour for the centralists (they will fail) and that Vince Cable had attended meetings on setting up a new party.
3) A policy that solves Brexit
There isn't one, but offering customs union, and single market membership and freedom of movement might be a compromise you could build a winning electoral mandate around.
4) A promise to reinvent politics
That may include a Macron style promise to involve more non-political experts, localise decision making and widen democracy with more people being engaged in the decision making process.
5) Enough MPs to have a backbone and the strength of their convictions to risk their seat at the Westminster feeding trough
And that is why it might not happen. If everything went well, in a new General Election the new party would need 25% of the vote to be relevant and maybe hold the balance of power, 30% to be the opposition and 35-40% to win.
I am not wishing for this, but it's an interesting scenario. It's possibly unlikely unless there is a no deal Brexit and a Tory hardliner deposes May, but it's still a scenario worth considering in planning for a second Independence referendum. Such a party would gain no foothold in Scotland – the SNP have a death-grip on the centrist space, but it would take Labour out of the game and leave a second independence referendum a straight fight between the Yes movement, its political partners the SNP and Greens, and Ruth Davidson whose Scottish Tories just couldn't hold the line for the Union the way Labour did in 2014.
So Westminster's vote on Brexit in Jan/Feb 2019 could create a pivotal moment – an opportunity for a new party to form, providing rebel MPs with an ability to say: "I have to put my nations wellbeing before my party, and seek a more palatable deal with the EU than Labour or Conservatives can offer".

Moto C Plus Review – A decent attempt but not good enough
So finally Motorola came up with the extended version of its super-cheap Moto C called Moto C plus. Just a few days ago when Moto C was announced, the excitement, it was expected that either the phone which is cheaper than the Moto E series will either be launched at an unimaginable price or the phone would have unimaginable specs at a decent price. But when the phone finally launched in India, it bombed the moment the overexcited smartphone users of India came to know about its price and its inferior specs.
But at the end of the day, what we as smartphone enthusiasts have to consider is the fact that Motorola is the pioneer of Mobile phone revolution in India and identifies itself amongst the elite smartphone brands of the world that includes the likes of Samsung and Apple and thus it would never really try to imitate its Chinese counterparts in terms of its pricing strategy.
Last update on March 4, 2018 / Affiliate links / Images from Product Advertising API
Now coming back to Moto C Plus, the phone is a Flipkart exclusive and is available at a price of Rs. 6999. Motorola organized a grand launch ceremony for the phone which I personally feel is too much for a smartphone that has just average specs and comes with a decent price. Although, it might seem that Motorola felt that if Nokia 3310 can create excitement amongst the Indian crowd then why not it's Moto C Plus. But Nokia 3310 has a special bond with the Indian consumers compared to Moto C.
As far as the specs of Moto C Plus is concerned, it has a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display and has a simple plastic built. The processor in Moto C is the MediaTek MT6737 quad-core 64-bit SoC coupled with Mali-T720 GPU along with 2GB of RAM. It has an 8-megapixel rear camera with f/2.2, autofocus, 1.12-micron pixels and a LED flash and a 2MP front snapper with f/2.8 aperture and surprisingly a front-facing LED flash.
The biggest highlight of Moto C Plus is its removable 4,000 mAh battery which will power the phone for more than a day on a single charge even with heavy data usage.
Apart from the above features, Moto C Plus has an internal memory of !6 GB that can be further expanded via an SD card and runs on Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box.
Avoid this one and go for Redmi 4 with much better specs and same price of Rs. 6999. As a latest update the price has gone down to around 5,600, so it may be a good choice at this new low price.

In Memoriam, Mark Cassorla
I always thought of Mark as "Marco". I'm not really sure whether this is because I grew up hearing other people calling him Marco or not. As I've mentioned before, I'm cursed with a horrible memory. So I honestly can't say whether anyone else ever called him Marco, although in my mind's ear, I can pretty clearly hear it rolling off his father's tongue. I'm also not sure whether I ever called him "Marco" to his face or whether the nickname resided strictly in my head.
What I can say is that in some sense I always felt closer to Mark than I ever felt to any other relative. I don't know how to explain it except to say that I thought of him as someone with whom I shared a certain spiritual kinship. We hadn't talked much in quite a long time. The last two times we saw each other were a few months ago when we buried his father (see my post from June 19, 02006) and on my wedding day almost three years earlier. The worst of times and the best of times.
We never really did spend a whole lot of time having deep and meaningful talks. But I always felt this bond with him. Maybe it was just that I looked up to him so much. I respected the hell out of him and I admired him. When it was time to pick a college, I think I was in my own way trying to follow in his footsteps by choosing Penn, where he had gone.
Listening to what other people were saying about him this week, it's clear that he was an absolutely brilliant man. I was always aware that he was extremely intelligent. But it's fairly odd to hear so many people, who in actual point of fact probably knew him better than I did, describe him as the smartest person they knew. Not odd in the sense that it comes as any true surprise, but odd in the sense that whenever I was around him he never made me feel stupid. Surely he could have done so. (I say "surely" because given what I heard this week it's fairly obvious that he was not only my own intellectual superior, but probably the intellectual superior of everyone he ever met.)
So I knew him as smart, but not arrogant. I knew him as someone with a terrific sense of humor. I knew him as someone who seemed always to be smiling or laughing. And I knew him as someone who was kind and generous.
In the summer of 1989, Mark was a college graduate with a Masters degree. His next stop was UCLA to get his Doctorate. I was a high-school graduate who had been accepted to college, figuring on going into mechanical engineering. I had chosen to defer matriculation for a year in an effort to get my head on a little straighter.
As it happened, Mark needed to get his car across the country to L.A. And he had a fixed date by which he needed to get there. Mark had a little manual-transmission Subaru and I had only ever driven an automatic. So I took a train up to New York state, where his father gave me a weekend lesson in driving stick. A few weeks later, Mark came and picked me up in MD and we spent a couple of weeks taking turns driving that Subaru across the country.
We veered this way and that. We did some touristy things along the way--visiting a theme park or two, spending a little time in the Great Smoky Mountains, visiting the Grand Canyon, playing some miniature golf here and there, going tubing somewhere in Appalachia. Mostly, we drove. We saw some nature, some vast plains, some big mountains. I remember we took a picture at Voda Road (in Kansas, perhaps?), which for some inexplicable reason struck us both as funny.
The thing about that trip is that it was exactly what I needed at that point in my life. I was extremely depressed at that point, having fallen in love with someone who just didn't feel at all the same about me. One thing that's true of me is that when I fall in love, I do so deeply. (Lucky for me, it hasn't happened often.) And so, to have it be so thoroughly unrequited was absolutely devastating to me. I was miserable, and while I'm not going to go so far as to say that Mark saved my life by letting me come along with him, I am willing to say that letting me come along was exactly what I needed. I needed to get away, and Mark gave me that opportunity. We didn't do a whole lot of talking, as I recall, and what talking we did was not of the heavy "affairs of the heart" sort. But getting away, travelling across the country, was probably the best sort of therapy that could have been given to me.
A few years later, Mark (and Kate, now his widow) came to my rescue again, when I was at art school in a seedy area of Los Angeles and the riots hit. Much of L.A. was burning, including the camera store that I had walked to to buy my first SLR. So where was my safe haven? Where did I escape to? I took a bus out to Santa Monica and slept on Mark and Kate's futon. As it turns out, I would have been safe staying in the dorm. The closest fire I learned of was about two blocks away at a Jack-In-The-Box. But at the time I fled, nobody knew just how bad things were going to get. I, with my naïve faith in mankind, started out initially thinking it would all blow over within a couple of hours of its starting. Turned out I was dead wrong on that one and it got a lot worse before it got better. A lot worse than I ever would have guessed.
So here I am, feeling as if Mark came through and rescued me at the two times in my life when I most needed rescuing, and wondering why I wasn't able to return the favor this time. I know this guilt is all part of the grieving process. And I know that the anger I have towards him for doing this one stupid, stupid, cruel, and stupid act is too. So he's leaving behind three beautiful, wonderful, strong, intelligent kids who now have to finish growing up without their father. And he's missing out on watching them grow up. He's leaving behind a mother who had already endured too much loss in the last few years. He's leaving behind a bunch of people who loved him. It's just not fair. It's just plain wrong.
I remember two specific conversations that I had with him. One was when he told me that to get a PhD in Mathematics (which he was working on at the time), basically you have to do something that nobody else has ever managed to do. This awed me, and I was so proud of him for doing it when he had done it. (I guess it turns out that his doctoral work has since been found flawed, but it was good enough to convince the reviewers, and I'm guessing that very few people on the planet have enough of a grasp of the subject to understand what it was all about, let alone where he went wrong).
The other was when Kate was converting to Judaism, and Mark was studying along with her and said that he found it interesting. He said it in such a way that I gathered that he was fairly surprised at how interesting he found it. And I got the impression that his interest at the time was more as an intellectual interest than anything else: Here's something that's fascinating to study, rather than You know, there's truth here. Given that, I was never really sure whether he had become a true believer or not. I could only guess, based on how they chose to raise the kids. But whatever conclusions he had reached, I trusted him to believe what was right for him. He was too smart for anything else, right?
And on that note, I'm going to draw this to a rapid conclusion. I'm not sure whether confusion/bewilderment is one of the stages of grieving or not. But that's what I'm ultimately left with, when I get past the anger and the denial and the guilt. How in the world could someone so smart come to suicide as the only available option?!?
So long, Marco. You'll be missed.

Louis, This was a very nice tribute to Marco. Erica and I both called him and refered to him that way. I had forgotten that I had heard about those memories with Mark. I was not in the family when he moved to LA, but I was in San Diego with Jon during the LA fires. Send my love to Beth.ReplyDelete
Louis, I was a good friend of Mark's growing up, though I hadn't seen him since we graduated high school. I'm terribly sorry for your family's loss.ReplyDelete

I graduated with Mark and although in the passing years, I have lost touch with most everyone from High School. Mark was a wonderful person and I know he will be missed. I am sorry for his families loss and wish his family only the best

I worked with Mark at Charter. I left there in July and just heard last night about his death. He and another co-worker sat next to my family in box seats at a Cardinals game a few years ago. My deepest sympathies are with his family at this time.ReplyDelete
God Bless

2019 Buick Firebird And Trans Am Design And Price Rumors – If you are to think the world wide web and various quantities of incorrect info circling close to, the Firebird and Trans Am, or at a minimum an edition of them is getting ready to achievement the showrooms the new year, marking an unparalleled return for your Firebird and also the Pontiac firm respectively. A youtube video lately uploaded for you tubing helps make the most terrible circumstance for this particular rumored recovery, exhibiting a whole new Buick performance car in the fitness of a Firebird and Trans Am.
Unfortunately, for everybody engaged, this great resurrection of your renowned Trans AM is improbable provided that Pontiac the company is on a steady decline and resuscitating their older designs might not precisely at present attend the key in their goal.
The Firebird and Trans Am had been untimely stopped in 2002 rather than to long after Pontiac discovered the initial indicators from the decline. Since the Firebird and Trans Am fanatics and enthusiasts equally have already been hanging around close to for any new release with their preferred versions. Now, the Pontiac brand name is MLS clear of developing their specific comeback, but because the video clip provided earlier mentioned suggests, Buick and GM are more than outfitted for delivering new, different versions in the public releases every one of the even though bolstering their own personal performance selection.
Dodge Barracuda, a Firebird main opponent!
Despite the fact that you have the little simple fact with it, you cannot reject that it is a somewhat eye-catching offer you. A Firebird and Trans Am designs make a fascinating accessory for the Buick's elegant collection.
If Buick does decide to discharge the newest Firebird and Trans AM models, they are going to turn up as 2019 types likely, but as there haven't been any programs introduced for that current 2017 product year, it really is difficult to speculate. Likewise, the pricing specifics is another very small challenging to figure out, but we think that the newest versions will start between $36,000 to $45,000.

I can finally blog!! Feels so good to be clearing my desk and place my laptop in the middle of it!
Playing music, having a cup of warm beverage beside me and typing these sexy keyboard. FEELS GREAT!!
My last paper was today and boy, did it felt great when I hand in my paper and exit the mafaking cold room!! I was scribbling (okay not really), just writing really fast because I wanted to leave the f*cking cold classroom.
Days before the end of exams, Aishah, Karise, Marz, Mingz & I planned to go eat waffles after Logistics paper, which is today.
Aishah suggested having our celebratory waffles at Createaf Waffles!
On the train there, we chit-chat and laughed while we're at it. As I entered the train, a bloody insect (a moth I assume) flew to my right ear, just below the lobe & it touches my skin!!!!!!!
Omgosh I could hear the wings flutter!! I freaked out, OBVIOUSLY!!
& being such good friends they are, they all laughed... Thanks guys you guys are the best.
Marz came shortly because she had IP meeting and so we're ready to order our waffles!!
Here is the menu:
Price is pretty affordable as compared to Geláre or typical cafes out there which burns a hole in our pockets. The illustrations are so tempting! I scan the menu seriously and saw 1 that captured my heart (or my stomach).
What we ordered:
|I ordered Sinfully Chocolate FULL, topped it off with Hazelnut ice cream. Yup you read that right, I ate a whole waffle. That's pretty normal, yes?
|Marz and Karise shared Banana Chocolate with Vanilla ice cream
|Mingz on the other hand ordered a healthier choice: Merry Berry with Matcha ice cream
|Aishah had Peanut Butter Crunch and had Hazelnut ice cream as well!
Chocolate sauce + chocolate flakes + Koko Krunch + Hazelnut ice cream = chocolate overdose.
It was so sweet and I felt a little sick.. I couldn't finish everything (I'm too weak) so Mingz helped me eat the ice cream and waffle I couldn't stuff it anymore.
Stayed for a while because we are too full to move & besides, we're the only customers in the shop.
Took some (bad) photos of the interior of the shop. Nothing nice about it.
Service: Speed: Food:
Will I come again?
Mingz got her sushi from Maki San and she was a happy kid.
Nothing is fun for us in Dhoby Ghaut so we decided to walk over to Somerset because MM & Aishah want to check out H&M (shoppiiiinnngggg). Marz was meeting her friend so we left without her...
We couldn't make do without a photo, can we?
Honestly, I'm proud of myself for leaving H&M without a bag on my hand. *Pats self*
Basically we walked the whole of H&M and *scape. Aishah got her mobile phone cover, Mingz bought a skirt from H&M & Karise got a macro lens! I'm considering getting 1 too hmm..
It was a really nice piece of skirt but it doesn't have my size :(
|Mirror selfie
Well, when we had our waffles it was neither lunch nor dinner.. Lunner? Dinch? Whatever.
I've learnt my lesson when I dined at Eighteen Chefs last time; I ordered Cheesy Baked Rice with Creamy Sauce.. It tasted.. Let's just say it's extremely creamy and I didn't enjoyed the meal..
So this time I had pasta with the basic tomato base. You can never go wrong with tomato base spaghetti.
Service: Speed: Food:
Will I come again?
We were taking selfies when this waiter offered to help us take a group photo.
He even pulled out Karise's chair when we're going to order our food! What a gentleman!
Never judge a book by its cover :)
So that marks the end of my day! It was a day well spent! Laughed a lot during dinner. Hope our friendship will continue to grow & become closer!
Here's to our Integrated Project happening now and Year 3 + Internship next year! ♥

Cost saving tip for Azure VMs
Everyone knows two things about saving money on Azure VMs: 1, chose a smaller size and 2, turn it off when you are not using it. It turns out that the second one has an additional demand: you need to not use premium disks.
What are premium disks?
These are great! Great for performance and together with managed disks you get 99.95% SLA from Microsoft even though you are not using scale-sets or redundant machines. The disks are managed in such away that they are copied between different parts of the hardware, so that the whole datacenter needs to be taken down to take out your disks.
Read more about premium storage here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/premium-storage
The problem?
But if premium disks are so great, why not use them? Of course, you should but if you are like me and have environments which are primarily not production environments, but rather smaller dev-focused machines, you do not need them. The thing is that if you use SSDs you need to pay for the full disk, all the time even the parts you are not using. So even though you might use 50 GB on a disk you need to pay for the full 127 GB, and you still need to pay for storage even though your machine is turned off. Still the cost might not be that big, but you might have several machines, or several disks and the cost stack up.
Here is a screendump from a subscription for two machines that has not been active the current period, cost is in SEK.
So only use premium disks when they are needed. They are a great feature of IaaS and should always be used in production machines, but in a dev-scenario choose standard HDD.
How do I change it?
It is simple: Turn off/stop you machine and find the "disks" setting. It is usually under networking on the VM in the Azure portal.
Click the Disks and in the list to the right, you can see what type of disks you are using. Click the disk you need to change.
Change Account Type to Standard HDD and click Save.

Marvel's Star Wars: Age of Republic takes us back to the good ol' days of the Prequel Era of the saga with short tales of the benevolent Jedi, scheming Sith Lords, and opportunistic agents of the criminal underworld. Continue reading "Age of Republic: First Five Recap"
Happy Holidays (And Goodbye 2018) !
It's Christmas time and about time to wrap up 2018. Best of wishes to all and to all a better 2019. It was a year of mixed emotions and reactions for fans – the first year we had two Star Wars films back-to-back, a year of backlash for some, and a time of course correction for others. There's a lot of good-looking Star Wars planned for this coming year and I plan to enjoy it to the fullest. And I hope it's enjoyable for fans too, whether it appeals to the masses or just gets a reaction out of a few people. While Star Wars is a commercial product, we can't forget that real artists and writers put heart and soul into new projects every day. While a singular work of fiction may not appeal to you, it's important to remember that it has a right to exist because it will appeal to someone, and it may be very important to them. Don't be 'that guy' who dismisses or is openly hostile to things because it doesn't appeal to them, and because it doesn't appeal to them it shouldn't appeal to anyone ever. Everyone hates that guy so for a better 2019, don't be that guy.
Here's to happy holidays, peace on every planet (despite our favorite franchise having 'wars' in the title,) and a few things crossed off your bounty list too.
Happy Life Day, and may your holiday be special,
-Supreme Leader David

Arizona has a history of appallingly bigoted and dumb politicians, but not even the inimitably dense and blissfully racist Evan Meacham or wingnut conspiracy theorist Joe Sweeney has descended to the filthy pit this Congressmember flails about in:
"He has no place in any station of government and we need to realize that
he is an enemy of humanity."
- Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), on Obama (September 26, 2009) in St. Louis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GKS–pkAl0 (Thanks to Tom Hanson)
No, Rep. Franks. An "enemy of humanity" is someone who uses ugly words and untruths to whip others into a frenzy of hate, prejudice, and intolerance. I'd love very much to believe that you're not a member of a Christian church; I'd be equally thrilled, though, if the one you perhaps DO call home delivers to you a searing rebuke, your own personal platter of hellfire and brimstone straight from your pastor's mouth to your brittle, cold heart.
I could, as you all know, go on at length about how despicable this man's words are and how he's demonstrated that he's utterly unfit to hold office — but I'll keep it short, straight, and simple:
If Franks is a member of a church, synagogue, prayer group, or para-church organization, he should be rebuked and counseled by his pastor/rabbi/minister immediately. He should apologize for his words and repent of his hatred of Obama, and if he doesn't, he ought to be bounced.
I don't know if the people of Arizona will rise up in outrage, but the Church there MUST. If no Church rebuke follows, and if he's allowed to remain, sans repentance, in his church, then I'd offer the State of Arizona and the Church therein as Exhibit A in my identification of the sickening prevalence of the Christian-ish. The first six letters mean nothing to those who would countenance hate speech like this, and the Savior those letters together represent will judge harshly those who claim his name but cling to their hard hearts.

A YOUNG mum who struck a man on the head with a bottle in a Wrexham wine bar was yesterday sentenced to nine months youth custody.
At the time of the offence, Clare Crawford, 20, of Bryn Hafod in Wrexham, was on bail for striking her own partner in the face with a bottle.
Crawford admitted the two assaults at Mold Crown Court.
The court heard that in November she had been bailed with the condition of not entering licensed premises – but on January 11 she was out drinking.
While in a wine bar she hit another customer with a bottle to the head.
Sentencing, Judge John Rogers QC told her: "The bottle did not break but you hit him with such force that you caused a one-inch cut to the victim's head."
"You must understand that if you hit people using a weapon, especially a bottle, then the sentences will get longer and longer."
Karen Mullin, prosecuting, told how the police had attended Crawford's flat in November and found her outside with blood on her face.
Her partner was inside with a wound to the head which was bleeding.
He told police she was a good mother, but was "mental" and hit him with the bottle. However, he refused to make a complaint.
While on bail on January 11 she was at the Chequers Wine Bar drinking where a group were having a night out.
She is believed to have asked them to be quiet. There was then an exchange during which they threatened to have her removed, and she then struck one of them on the head with a beer bottle.

How To Know If You're In Financial Spiritual Warfare
There are many different forms of Spiritual Warfare however, it all means the same thing -that something is attacking you! If something is attacking you then you need to fight back!
The big questions is, what is attacking you and how do you fight back?
You can't fight something you have no idea is attacking you therefore, I've put together a list of different forms financial attacks that you could be experiencing and how to fight these attacks using the full armor of Yahushua ha Mashiach!
Finance is the source of so much hardship and negativity! This message is for you if:
- You've done all that you can but you still can't seem to catch a break.
- You know that you're meant to be financially free however, every time you think things are going well, you get knocked right back down.
- You're barley making it by with your bills.
- You can't pay your bills at all even though you've been applying to jobs aggressively.
Being financially unstable can bring about:
- Depression
- Suicidal thoughts
- Stress/health issues
- Anxiety
- Jealousy
- Hopelessness
- Hate
If all of the above statements sound like you, I want you to read these next lines carefully! Experiencing lack or going without is not normal! I repeat IT'S NOT NORMAL! Therefore, if you're experiencing financial hardships, you are in Spiritual Warfare and it's time to fight!
What are you fighting? Little demons (negative spirits that you cannot see) trying to keep you in a constant state of going without..poverty…lack.
It is very crucial that you acknowledge that this is happening to you if you are having financial hardships because our creator does not want us to experience these hardships. He want's us to have life, AND have it more abundantly!
For you to fight these negative spirits in Spiritual Warfare, you have to know where they came from and why did they choose YOU of all people to attack?! A few answers could be:
- They jumped off someone else onto you. (these spirits cling to happy/stable people) I would like to bet that before you were going through this hardship, you were actually happy and doing GREAT financially. Not just okay, but GREAT….then you hit rock bottom.
- You brought it on yourself. You have to be able to admit to yourself if you've just gotten lazy and comfortable in your financial hardships. Or, made bad decisions. In this case, you've willingly opened the door to let these negative spirits take control of your life. Either way, it's time to take back control of your finances!
How to fight back and gain control of your finances again? Put on the full Armor Of Yah! "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12
"Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place"
Know your truth! You did not come from lack, you are already wealthy -you just have to believe it!
Ex. If you were to see Donald Tump's son walking around here with raggedy pants, shoes, and shirts…would you think he were poor, or going without…..NO! His father is rich therefore, he is rich!
All he'd have to say is "Hey dad, can I have $$$"
Which I'm sure there'd be certain rules and regulations he'd have to follow to continue receiving abundance from his father.
"In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one."
Have faith in our creator! Yah will ALWAYS follow through with his promises! Build up faith by getting into his word that never wavers.
"For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20
"Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." Hebrews 11:6
Have faith that you will overcome. Even if it takes years, know it without a doubt in your mind!
"Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
Speak nothing but positivity in your life, by doing this you are swinging your sword, cutting those negative forces that come against you with your words!
- Sing positive songs
- Speak positive affirmations
- Speak those things that are not as though they are
- Give thanks and focus on what you do have
We often times want things to happen on our timing however, we have to remember that Yah's timing is PERFECT timing!
Put on the full Armor of Yah and fight back! If you are in Spiritual Warfare, you have weapons and tools to protect yourself!
Yah will not run to your rescue if you do not use what he gave you!
I'd love to hear from you. Has there ever been a time when you felt like you were being financially attacked? What did you do about it and how long did you go through this period?

5 Reasons Why I Don't Want To Be A Life Coach
This year has been an EXTREMELY indecisive one already. However, I somehow still believe that things are working out for the better.
Last year, I was so sure about everything. In result, I published "The Key: Unlocking Your Success", survived a second year in my apartment, lost 15 lbs, gained soooooo much philosophical knowledge. No, really! I can teach an entire lesson on a plethora of philosophical topics such as, theology, astrology, Health & Wellness, etc.
Order Out Of Chaos
If my life were a book, this chapter would be titled Order Out Of Chaos!
So many things went wrong, and are still going wrong that I'm beginning to lose count.
However, I am in no way in a bad mood about it. I trust that my trials and tribulations are taking me somewhere surreal!
How do I know this..?
Well, every time something really bad happens….something really good happens in return. My life has turned into this crazy roller coaster that I can't get off of no matter how hard I try.
Think about this:
You're on a roller coaster for longer than usual, you start to get sick from all the spinning. But then….you open your eyes, and take in the view of the beautiful open skies…… and you're like, this isn't so bad after all……then you get sick again.
At the beginning of this year I was so sure that I wanted to be a life coach. I was on the right track –still kinda am, and then something switched. Like it always does. I reevaluated myself. I took a deeper look at myself and where EXACTLY did I want to be in the next few years, as well as what kind of person did I want to be.
And just by taking a look around, I figured out a few new things about myself and about the world.
5 Reasons Why I Don't Want To Be A Life Coach Anymore:
1.) There are life coaches EVERYWHERE!!!! Seriously, remember that one episode of Oprah, when she was giving away free cars?
Maybe this is a personal problem, but it bothers me to follow trends. With that being said, if I do happen to get sucked up in a trend, I try to make sure it's something that I really want to do.
2.) I don't like authority figures. If they're not God, or playing the role of a parent…I feel as though the term Authority Figure should be reserved for our creator and parents (in the case of having authority over their children) only! We're all here coexisting on the planet there are no levels in humanity. We're all humans helping other humans. In this day and age, everyone's so wrapped up in having a title –or money, rather than actually learning the ropes.
3.) I don't want to do anything other than what I'm passionate about. If that results in me losing money, friends, or putting in hard core work, so be it!
4.) There are a ton of life coaches giving other life coaches a bad rep. YES, I said it! I think it's immensely awful and misleading to sell a lifestyle to someone rather than the actual help they need. Everyone's idea of having a successful life isn't sipping mimosa's somewhere on an island. Maybe….just maybe, it's giving back to their communities….sponsoring multiple children?
5.) Lastly, most life coaches (not everyone) is in it for the cash and I personally just don't want to be apart of that kind of community. I don't care about money. It's just paper my friends. If we needed rocks to survive, everyone would be collecting rocks. If you start looking at money for what it is…paper. It will flow to you effortlessly.
So there you have it. My 5 Reasons as to Why I Don't Want To Be A Life Coach…..anymore.
Until next time…..see you later!

How To Smash Your Goals Effectively
The key to setting goals and SMASHING them is simply, only setting goals for things you want to do, everything else is easy.
I know…I know……..I will elaborate more.
Does this sound like you?
- Setting a ton of goals only to actually achieve a small few.
- Not feeling motivated enough to start working on your goals.
- Planning your goals, start working on them, then giving up after a short while.
- Feeling too overwhelmed to start at all.
Nobody's perfect, and I've been where you are. Which is exactly why I want to help!
Let's face it, we're only going to do things that we really want to do. Things that we're passionate about. So why not, only do those things?!
Then again, we all get faced with a task every once in a while that we don't necessarily wantto do, but we need to do to reach our goals. However, the reason that we're doing it is much greater than the actual task. Whenever you get faced with a task that you don't necessarily want to do, focus on the reason why you're doing it.
We tend to only put our all into things that we are passionate about therefore, make it personal! Doesn't matter if it's a tiny goal, or a large goal. Focus on why you're doing it because even though you may not be passionate about doing the ground work to reaching your goals, your reason why is something that you're actually passionate about. Think about how it's going to positively impact you, about how you'll be one step closer to the kind of life you want.
I know that you can do anything you put your mind to, however that doesn't mean that you should. Pick and choose your battles. Figure out EXACTLY what it is that you want, make sure you're all in, then get to work!
But, you have a ton of goals that you want to achieve…..
You feel overwhelmed sometimes, and you're not sure how and where to start.
Now, you might be a kick butt/hard working goal getter that can multitask like a boss and produce great quality results along the way! However, most people aren't a master multitask-er, and that's totally okay! I personally find that multitasking often times produce forced results. Whereas if you are to focus on one task at a time, it'd be easier to produce high quality results. Although, there are some people that can kick butt doing it, more power to you guys out there that can!
Here's where you start:
You have a goal that you want to achieve, but you also have other goals that you really want to achieve. Don't focus on how long it's going to take you to achieve them, simply just decide which goal is most important to you at this moment. Right this second, decide on what you're most passionate about, then go for it! Usually what you want most tends to require the hardest, most tedious work.
I know thinking about all that it's going to take for you to achieve your goal can become overwhelming at times.
Here's a few helpful tips that WORK:
- Break your goal up into smaller goals. (little tiny baby steps my freind)
- Set up a reward system for yourself. Ex. When you finish one baby step, treat yourself to a movie, coffee, glass of wine…whatever floats your boat.
- You may or may not need to, but I find that creating a vision board and list has helped me tremendously! I can visually see my goals in front of me everyday. Just looking at my vision board alone gets me super excited about working to achieve everything that's on there.
Get out your glue sticks, magazines, markers, and get to work on the life you want! Need a little help planning your day by day schedule? Check out my free weekly planner in the resource library.

If All Humans Want The Same Basic Things, Why Is There So Much Violence And Strife Between People
If you really sit down and think about it…..we all generally want the same basic things in life:
- money
- love
- purpose
- functionality & good health
Although, even though we have these same basic wants and needs….there's still a plethora of violence and dissension!
No one ever really thinks about why this is, we just dance the good dance of life and hope for the best.
The great divide: Man has fallen
We are a fallen people. With that being said, there's a lot of evil in the world because of it. It's not our want's and needs that creates atrocity, it's our intentions behind the action.
You may think you know someone, however it's factually impossible to truly know someone fully. It's only possible to know a person as much as the information that they allow you to know about them. We all have many sides of ourselves that we choose to show to different people.
When we're interacting with others, it's an illusion. You can physically hear and see them, but you don't really know the person behind the mask. Two people can want the same outcome, but the intentions are COMPLETELY different!
We all want an abundance of money, love, purpose, and good health, however the different reasons could be:
- war
- power
- greed
- selfishness
- evil intentions
- humanitarian acts
- family needs
- personal health issues
The list could go on and on…..the solution would be to practice discernment. Hence, giving you the ability to instantly know a organizations/persons true intentions to figure out if you should steer clear of them or keep them around.

If I had a dollar for every pan of roasted veggies I have made in my lifetime, I would be rich. If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me how I make my roasted veggies, I would be even richer.
With that being said, I'm not sure why it took me over three years to officially post a recipe for my beloved roasted veggies, but better late than never I suppose. They are so so simple to make, and super satisfying! Now you can easily refer back to my method of making them whenever you have questions. After doing it a few times, you'll have it memorized and be a veggie roasting pro just like me! ; )While I am posting the recipe for my roasted veggies, there is something important that I want to address. As a dietitian (and food blogger), I encounter a lot of individuals who dislike vegetables, or think that they dislike vegetables. Certain veggies, such as Brussels sprouts, are on the list of veggies that most people believe they dislike, whether they have tried them in the past ten years or not. All I am asking is this: if there are any veggies that you have never tried, or haven't tried recently, that you think you don't like, but you have never tried roasting them, please try them again. Roasting brings out an absolutely amazing flavor in so many veggies, unlike steaming. No offense to steaming, but steamed veggies suck in comparison to roasted veggies. Yes, roasting takes more time, but the oven does most of the work for you! It only takes a few minutes to season the veggies, then they hang out in the oven for 30 minutes. It's well worth the extra time. I PROMISE. Give it a chance. For those of you who are very black & white and need exact amounts for everything, you might hate me, but this process really isn't very scientific. It doesn't really matter how many veggies you're doing at a time. This cooking temperature and time should remain pretty consistent regardless (at least for the veggies I list below). I also don't measure the spices. I just sprinkle on as much as I feel is necessary and call it good. Cooking is kinda like life. Don't take it too seriously, and it'll all turn out okay! ; )
- Roast veggies at 400 F for 30-35 minutes total. I always flip them halfway through using a large spatula, around the 15-minute mark. This helps them cook/brown more evenly, and also gives you an idea of how well they are cooking and if you might want to cook them shorter or longer than usual.
- This is the method I use for my go-to veggies, including broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, carrots and sweet potatoes/regular potatoes.
- I always use either extra virgin olive oil (my favorite is the Kirkland's Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Costco) or avocado oil (either Chosen Foods or Primal Kitchen; also cheaper at Costco).
- I typically use 2-3 Tbsp of oil, depending on the amount of veggies I'm making at a time. I like to make a large amount at once so I have leftovers for the next few days.
- I often get questions about how I get my veggies to stay *crispy* the next few days. Unfortunately, they are not going to be as crispy leftover as they are fresh, but I still enjoy them. To each their own.
I like to keep things simple with my seasonings. I only use garlic powder and pepper when seasoning the following:
- Brussels sprouts
- Cauliflower
- Broccoli
- White/red potatoes
- Carrots (Sometimes I like to also add paprika and chili powder to make them taste like seasoned carrot "fries")
For sweet potatoes, I simply season with cinnamon.
Let's talk about SALT.
Someone commented the other day that they had to add salt to my recipe, and thought maybe I forgot to add it in the ingredients. The truth is, I very rarely add salt to recipes. A lot of foods that we eat on a daily basis already have plenty of sodium in them, so I do my best to avoid adding salt to my meals as much as possible. However, that does not mean that you can't add it! I have truly gotten used to eating my food without adding salt and don't ever feel like I "need" to add salt, but if you need that extra flavor, go for it! As always, you can modify my recipes any way you want to please your (or your kiddos) taste buds. 🙂
The time and temperature may have to be adjusted slightly for other veggies depending on what you're making, but for the ones I listed above, this works like a charm every time! Lastly, different ovens may cook differently, so adjust cooking time as needed for your oven.
I hope this helps! Now send me all your delicious veggie roasting pics! ; )

The one above washed up onshore near Catalina in Southern California on October 16, 2013.
Be sure to update your earthquake kits, SoCal/NorCal.
UPDATE (10/20/13): Another oarfish washed up in SoCal this same week, in Oceanside. Here's hoping: 1. These fish are being carried in by a weird climate-change current, or; 2. The quake turns out to be a sub-7. Of course, like much of Tokyo and Japan, California is rife with state-of-the-art earthquake technology, and has been retrofitting like crazy in the last ten years or so.
UPDATE INFINITY: Oh. This timeline bugaboo has passed. (OR HAS IT?) It may no longer be relevent. If you're reading this and anticipating some incipient doom and gloom... there may not be any. That catastrophic timeline has been retired. The only remaining gloom and doom is in your head, so get rid of it. You can do it. We're all counting on you.
In the meantime, Da-da's new book is available on Amazon.

A couple weeks ago, a speaker in one of my church groups asked, "Are you using major disruptions in your life to grow or to shrink?"
This question really hit me. As my regular readers know, I've had some major disruptions in my life over the past year. They've been prompting lots of personal growth, but they also come with the temptation to hide from that growth. There are days when the last thing I want to do is keep going. I want to curl up small in a nest of fluffy blankets and let the whole world go by without noticing me.
One of the main reasons God lets us go through trials is to give us opportunities for growth. In scripture, this is often refereed to as a testing or refining process designed to make us more like God. He doesn't expect us to fully become like Him in this life. But He does want us to keep growing toward that goal, not shrinking away.
Growth-Ready Mindset
When I say we shouldn't be "shrinking" I don't mean that we have to be big, excessively confident, loud, or something of that sort. God can use people like that, sure, but He also uses the quiet, small, "little people." He works equally well with meek Moses and brash Peter.
God likes working with people who can recognize they're not complete yet. Everyone must be brought to a point of humility — a place where we know how much we need God — before we can start growing. Read more

Welcome to the beautiful, dark, twisted, '70s disco inspired fantasy of Alessandro Michele and Gucci.
Here heels are high, colors are strong and sunglasses are shiny.
This 75 piece collection has everything. From wide-leg pants, to romantic sheer dresses and turbans. There were many prints, mixed in a way that only Alessando can.
While watching it I felt like I was at a circus or '70s themed party. Everything sparkled. And every outfit was very different from the previous one. You see this model wearing Victorian dress and the next thing you see is shiny pink matador inspired outfit.
Alessandro Michele did a great job once again preserving Guccio Gucci's legacy. Very extraordinary and fun collection. He taught us a lesson of fashion history with this one.

And what about those hand fans? I think they will be the biggest trend of Spring Summer 2017. Beautiful and useful.
Yours fashionably,
Mademoiselle Matea

What One Thing Determines Your Marketing Results The Most?
Most business owners don't know the answer to what's the single biggest factor in their marketing results.
In fact, most people don't know the answer to what's the single biggest factor in the results they get in any area of their lives.
But the good news is that:
- The answer to both those questions is the same
- Once you know the answer, you can use it to change the results you get in any area of your life
- Everything you need to know to put this powerful info into action can be summarized in 2 simple flowchart diagrams
Ready to find out what one thing determines your results more than anything else? (Whether it's marketing results or any other type of results?)
Excellent! Then let's move on.
What Preferred Results Are You Getting?
Think about one area of your life where you're currently getting the results you want:
- The cleanliness or orderliness of your garage
- How regularly you win at golf (or racquetball or Scrabble or whatever)
- One of your relationships (marriage, friendships, business partner)
- One of your employee's performance or attention to detail
Regardless of the area of your life, there's a good reason why you're currently getting the results you want.
Still, you might not be aware of WHY you're getting your preferred results.
Maybe you feel it just sort of happens that you get the results you want. Always has. Always will.
Or, in sharp contrast, maybe you're very aware of WHY you're getting your preferred results because you did NOT get these results at one time…but you've worked long and hard to get those particular results now.
Either way, all that matters is you ARE getting the results you prefer, and there IS a reason why.
And once you know that reason, you'll be empowered to get preferred results in other areas of your life…like in your marketing.
Why Do You Get The Results You Want?
Still have that area of your life in mind where you're currently getting the results you prefer?
Excellent! Now look at the flowchart below. Doesn't it illustrate how this area of your life is currently working?
Maybe you've never thought of how this area of your life works before, but doesn't that flowchart capture what's going on?
You have a way of going about things. That determines what you do. That determines what you get. And since you like what you get, the whole thing gets reinforced.
In other words, you have a system that's giving you what you want.
And so you're continuing to work it over and over and over.
Why wouldn't you? You're getting the results you prefer, after all!
Now think of ANOTHER area of your life where you're getting the results you want. Got it?
Now look at that flowchart again. You'll see that diagram captures what's going on there too!
Can you see how powerful it is to have a system like that?
And to be aware of how that system is producing results in your life?
I hope so…because now we're going to look at how you can put this info to use in the areas of your life where you're NOT currently getting the results you want.
How To Get The Results You Want
So now we know how you already get the results you want (system > actions > results > desires fulfilled > system reinforced).
We also know the process always works the same regardless of whether it's marketing results you want or any other type of results in any other area of your life.
But how does this info help you in an area of your life where you are NOT currently getting the results you want?
Here's how. By taking that first flowchart and expanding it to show you that you have 1 of 2 ways to respond when you're NOT getting the results you want:
- The first way to respond does NOT create the changes needed to get your preferred results
- The second way to respond DOES create the changes needed to get your preferred results
Here's what that expanded flowchart looks like.
See that new stuff sticking off to the right-hand side? That's what's been added since the first flowchart.
First it shows that when you don't get the results you prefer, your desires are unfulfilled (see that purple box on the right!). In other words, you're disappointed, or you feel pain.
But just because you feel pain or disappointment doesn't mean anything changes…because you'll see the flowchart shows the 2 possible ways you can respond when you're not getting the results you want:
- Response #1: Do NOT change your system
- Response #2: DO change your system
Response #1: Do NOT change your system
If you go with Response #1, where you do NOT change your system, you just end up going right back to working your current system…
…the very system that did NOT give you the results you wanted in the first place…
…so you keep on NOT getting what you want.
Take a look at the flowchart again to see how that works:
Response #2: DO change your system
If you go with Response #2, you DO change your system…
…but you probably already noticed that changing your system is NOT a guarantee you'll immediately get the results you want.
In fact, you COULD change your system, which WOULD change your actions, which WILL change your results…only to find you're still NOT getting what you want.
But at least with Response #2 there's the possibility of getting the results you want.
And new possibilities are exactly what we're looking for when we're trying to get new results.
In other words, you will NOT have a good reason to expect getting what you want until you CHANGE YOUR SYSTEM.
Yes, you might have to change your system multiple times, leading to new actions and new results each time, until you're finally getting your preferred results.
But that's the only true option you have if you want to go from NOT GETTING the results you want, to GETTING the results you want.
Your System Determines Your Marketing Results The Most
And to bring all this back full circle to your marketing results, that means it all comes down to this: your system is the single biggest factor in the marketing results you're getting.
Not getting the opt-in rate you want? You need to change your SYSTEM.
Conversion rates too low? You need to change your SYSTEM.
Happy customers but less referrals than you'd like? You need to change your SYSTEM.
It might seem obvious…but then why don't most business owners do precisely that? Why don't they change their SYSTEM?
Most People Change The Wrong Thing
Instead of changing their SYSTEM, most business owners focus on changing the wrong thing. They focus on changing their ACTIONS.
We all do it. We think that if we change our actions, we'll get different results.
And that's 100% correct! IF we change our actions, our results WILL change…because the vast majority of the results you get in life are determined by your actions.
The only problem is that our actions are determined by our system.
So if you don't change your system, you won't be able to sustain changing your actions over the long-haul game that business is all about.
Sure you might change your actions for a while – send out a few newsletters, mail a few postcards, make a few follow up calls, ask for a few referrals – but eventually, if your system hasn't changed, your actions will slip right back into what they were before.
Why? Because your system determines your actions.
No system change, no actions change.
Warning! Changing Your System Isn't Easy!
Why is it hard to change your system?
Well, look at that flowchart again.
Notice anything?
At the very top there's that green box with 'Your System.' And on the far-right there's that green box with 'Your New System.'
When it comes to changing your system, it will usually be the case that you'll actually have to be working TWO systems at the same time:
- 'Your System' (or your old system)
- 'Your New System' (or your latest attempt at coming up with a system that produces the results you want)
Why do you have to work TWO systems at the same time?
Because a business is like a river: once it starts, it can't shut down for a while (or else it's no longer a river or a business).
And that means you have to straddle your efforts between different systems, which means different sets of actions and policies and procedures and so on.
Not an easy task!
Which is why most business owners decide to just try changing some actions here and there. That's MUCH easier!
So you send out a few newsletters, mail a few postcards, make a few follow up calls, or ask for a few referrals – but like we already saw, if your system hasn't changed, your actions will eventually slip right back into what they were before.
It's only natural. We're creatures of habit, after all.
But that means that if you really want to get the results you prefer, you have to face the challenge of straddling TWO systems at the same time.
Sure, it's not the easiest thing to do, but remember: no system change, no actions change.
What If You Don't Have A System At All?
Maybe you think it will be easier for you because you don't have a system at all…which means you won't have to juggle between two systems at once.
But do you really not have a system at all?
No process documents or flowcharts?
No defined sales pipeline or funnel?
Just winging it with each new prospect or client?
Well, even if that's the case, then THAT is your system: your system is that you do it differently every time.
And see how that system determines your actions? Your actions are different every time!
And see how your actions would change if your system DID include process documentation and flowcharts and defined sales pipelines and funnels?
Your actions would be consistent!
And consistency means you can do meaningful measurement.
And meaningful measurement means accurately knowing the results you are – and are NOT – getting.
And accurately knowing the results you're getting means being able to make educated changes to your system to improve the results it produces.
And all that can even be built right into your system: measurement, analysis, proactive change…and then repeating the process.
Because ultimately that's what a system should do for you:
"A system should give you a clear, documented, repeatable, step-by-step way to act so that you get the results you want."
How Will You Change Your System?
So, if you can only change your marketing results by first changing your marketing system…and if it's hard to change your system…how will you do it?
Where do you start? How do you stay on track?
That's the kind of thing we specialize in here at Marketing Hospital!

Ballet in Two Acts
Choreography by Boris Eifman
Music by Pyotr Tchaikovsky
Set and Costumes by Vyacheslav Okunev
The premiere was held on 12 September 1993
Pyotr Iylich Tchaikovsky – one of Boris Eifman's favourite composers. When the choreographer has plunged into its biography and has learned about sufferings, about hellish torments of soul of the composer, provoked tragic element of its music has heard it absolutely in another way.
'The creative process of a great artist is always a mystery. It is just as difficult to understand as it is to penetrate to his private life. For where is the dividing line between everyday life and creativity?

The pose for this is based on an old Absolut Vodka magazine advert... I loved this series of images, they are truely classic, and this isn't the first pose I've used from the series; but this is perhaps my favourite, and I have been saving this for a very special character for whom it would especially suit... and along comes Victor Nikiforov!! A Russian who loves to drink!! How more appropriate can you get!! LOL
Since Victor is an ice skater, Russia is super cold in winter, and vodka is best 'on the rocks', I chose a stock photo background which gives the impression of ice, however it is actually a close-up of blue glass!! I also stole the image of the bottle from the original advert, since I couldn't get the transparancy right when I tried to draw it myself!! XD

Young people from Warwickshire-based youth arts organisation Aspire in Arts will showcase their talents at their own live show in Rugby.
They will be performing a mix of original and contemporary cover songs at the Benn Hall on December 10.
The concert will feature their live band, plus street dance performances.
The project, 'Beats, Bars and Banter' is funded by the National Foundation for Youth Music with additional support from Warwickshire Race Equality Partnership (WREP) and Rugby Borough Council is open to young people aged 11-25 in Rugby.
Each week, young people have had the opportunity to take part in a variety of music and music related workshops every Thursday 4pm-6pm at Hill Street Youth Centre in Rugby.
Young people can take part in singing, songwriting, studio recording, music production, instrumentation, making music videos and live performances.
