I came across Velicia's work last year after she was featured in an article on AFROPUNK. I started following her on social media and ordered this print from her online shop. Her work has also been featured in the New York Times.
1. How did you get to where you are right now as an artist?
It's been a long journey! Practice? Trial and error? A well thought out plan? I think an artist's journey is a mixture of all these things. I don't think there will ever be a "right now" for me because I'm always working on who I need to be as an artist.
2. Do you think it is important to have a formal education in order to be an artist?
I think it is important to be disciplined as an artist so whether you acquire that discipline in a formal learning environment or not you have to be able to push yourself, pick yourself up and move ahead. Sometimes a formal education can give you the tools to do that. For me, I loved learning in a classroom. I plan on taking a few classes this summer. For me, it's all about being inspired and learning something new always inspires me!
3. Describe a typical day for you.
I work a full-time job in addition to doing my artistic work. Although my day job is creative, I usually settle in to work when most people are getting off work. I handle my business communications or any administrative work I have during the day. Usually, I've planned out my artistic work in advance so that I can dive in. It took me a long time to become organized enough to reserve enough energy to tackle briefs. I get up early on the weekends and find that working in 3-4 hour stretches is satisfying and also allows me to have a life away from drawing. My ideal day would be spent working solely from my home studio. I'm close but not there yet!
4. Who or what inspires you?
I am inspired by non-traditional viewpoints of fashion. I like designers who experiment and break the rules. The rule breakers have played by the rules at some point so they really know how to maintain the structure of the clothing while presenting something, although unconventional, that someone can wear in their everyday lives. Inspiration? I look to the work of Antonio Lopez, Viramontes and Gruau. I adore Schiele and Klimt. When I'm being too controlled or literal (with my lines/approach) I look to them. I love looking at street art, murals, especially wheat pasting and graffiti. Some of my work begins as a sketch that has hopes of growing into a mural.
5. How do you get clients?
I am a graphic designer as well and have a few clients that have found me by word of mouth in my local community. I also subscribe to a freelance site and have managed to work on some interesting briefs. Most of the interest in my work has been through Instagram and some free portfolio sites, although I did have a page in the Directory of Illustration for two cycles. When I first posted a portrait of Naomi Campbell on Instagram, my daughter asked me if I had tagged her, I just gave her a blank stare! Technology is amazing. Mz. Campbell commented on my post and then followed me for a while. Has that translated into work? In a way, yes. Last year I drew the Quann Sisters (Urban Bush Babes) and that led to an article that AFROPUNK shared in an edited format and that led to the first New York Times style piece.
6. What has been the highlight of your career as an artist so far?
My career as an artist has been in the background while I was raising my family. When someone sends me an email just to say hi and that they admire my work it's a totally amazing feeling. Last year was amazing. I fulfilled one of my dreams to have an illustration in the New York Times Thursday Style section. Earlier this year, my son and I had a joint exhibition at a gallery in our area. There's still more that I want to do outside of digital illustration. There are still more highlights to come. Ask me again. Soon.
7. Have you had any career disappointments as an artist? If yes, how did you overcome them?
Being an artist doesn't make you immune to career disappointments. I allow myself to feel the disappointment and I talk it out with my family and a few trusted friends then I get back to work. Sometimes when a thing doesn't work out it is for the best. I think you just have to trust in your skills and remember that you are unique. You don't have to wait for anyone's permission to express yourself the best way you know how.
8. What is your dream art project?
I'd love to do a fashion inspired mural or even incorporate illustrations as part of a set design for the runway. There have been some briefs that I thought would be especially dreamy but then turned out to be nightmares! I can laugh about it now, however when it was happening, all I could do was stress eat!
9. Do you have any advice for any emerging or aspiring artists?
I have tons of advice. However, I think the best advice is to always be yourself. Work hard. Always learn something new. Don't try to grind in the same direction as everyone else. Style is fleeting, but talent is what will bring clients to your door. Most importantly...don't give up.
10. What's next for you?
Summer is usually a great time to get organized so I plan to overhaul my workspace. Purge, pare down, organize to be ready to welcome new opportunities. I'm also planning on doing a rebranding of sorts for my online store to include a wider variety of affordable art.

SHE may look like a kindly old grandma, but cops say 96-year-old Amanda Rice Stevenson is actually a deadly killer.
Investigators say she blasted her nephew Johnny Rice, through the heart with a huge .357 magnum handgun, similar to the one used by Dirty Harry.
The 53-year-old was found dead by his wife Deborah after she returned to their house on Sunday evening and she initially thought that he'd had a heart attack, when she saw him lying on the floor.
When she was unable to get the door open, because his body was in the way, she managed to reach around and touch him, but found his body was cold.
But when cops got managed to get into the St Augustine, FL home they found Rice dead on the floor, with blood coming out of his mouth, and multiple blood splatters around the scene.St. Augustine Police Department spokesman Mark Samson told the New Times Rice was shot "over a domestic situation" while he was lying in bed, and more exact details of what happened haven't yet been released.
But it's believed the retired postal worker was involved in a long running dispute with her nephew and police had been called to the house several times in the past month.
Samson added that they are still trying to determine who owned the gun.Stevenson is being held without bond and taken into custody on a charge of wilful homicide.
Court records show that she has two previous arrests, one for arson in 1995 and another four years ago for writing a bad check.

Thinking About Invisible Illnesses After Having a Sinus Infection
I have a sinus infection and it's been such a reminder of the downsides of "invisible illnesses/pain" that I face everyday with my back issues. The huge piles of tissues, cough, etc have elicited a generous amount of empathy from the people around me. It's such a simple label and has symptoms that people can see and hear.
Jay is perpetually sweet and the MOST supportive partner through all of my pain ALWAYS but he has been so extra attentive because I think he can relate to how I feel this time. He knows what it feels like to have a sinus infection + can see it with his eyes so empathy is just free flowing. Don't get me wrong, I'm so grateful. It just keeps making me think about how if THIS is the type of reaction I'm getting from a dumb sinus infection from people, imagine what kind of response I would get to my suffering with my back pain that's on a much larger scale (don't get me wrong the combo of being sick and in pain puts my past my maximum tolerance and I'm currently v unhappy haha).
I've found that the moments when I've been on crutches have been easier in a specific way in that they served as a message to the world. I can't take subways for multiple reasons with my back but one of them is that I've been stuck too many times without a seat because I look like a healthy 28 year old. I've wanted to wear a shirt that reads "please be patient when I walk slowly, I was hit by a car" many times. I think that the most challenging part of having an invisible illness/injury is suffering in silence to a large degree. In a way I think it's a great thing because I want to come off as "normal", I want to maintain as much normalcy in my life as possible, I don't want my pain to run the show all the time, etc. In fact, I keep my voice quiet a lot with the people in my life because I don't even want them to know how bad it truly is. But that invisibility sets you up for a lot of lonely feelings in your suffering. It's natural to understand what we've personally experienced but if we haven't experienced it, it's at least easier to understand if we can SEE it. It's such an important lesson that you never know what pain (emotional or physical) someone is walking around it and how you really can't judge a book by its cover (as cliche as that is).

Then on Sunday me and mom went to the mall and bought pajamas for the whole family, I can't wait till Christmas Eve to wear them!
And then you have Tim. I never really thought that I would ever talk to him but we've been talking and now we're going to the movies tomorrow. I want to go to the museum too but who knows. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time but it's weird because he's Teen's age. It's also weird how he first took intrest in me because of boht of us liking the Broncos. He's a little obsessed but that's okay because atleast it's the Broncos instead of the Raiders or something like that.
Sunday at Bible study we talked about stress and what we can do to stop it and what causes it. Anyways it felt really good to just have someone there to listen to you. I don't know, I just feel like I can't talk to my mom about the things that stress me out becuase it feels like if I tell her thn she'll stress out about me stressing. GRR!!!
Justine's coming home tomorrow!!!! I'm soo happy!!!! And she's going to be home all weekend. I wonder if we're going to do the whole after Thanksgiving sale freebies thing or not, seeing that we have the kids now.
I can't wait till Christmas! I really want to go caroling but I don't know who all to do it with. I remember going caroling back in grade school and having that one guy ask us to be in the newspaper but we had to say no because mom told us to. Soo many people thought that Teen and I were twins. You never realize how much someone means to you until they leave and go off to college, regardless if they're like 2 hours away. College is only 2 years away and I'm still not sure what I want to major and minor in. I was thinking I'd major in genetics and minor in pottery.

White Sunday - Bible Verses
Man I just hate having to learn long bible verses for White Sunday. I mean like its so boring and no fun, all you have to do is just sit there trying to memorize it over and over and over again. Its just so hard because once you get it you just forget it straight away I mean like when you're learning song lyrics its so easy but when you're learning bible verses its just just so HARD!
I think its only hard learning Bible verses because how its in your own language and you don't know how to speak it that much so it makes it even harder. But even if its in English it can be sometimes hard.

Oh my gosh, I'm the 3333rd viewer of your blog! Wow!
But don't you worry, Mehi, everyone gets their bible verses in the end. Even if it is hard work, and everyone else in your church youth may be still learning and need help, we ALLL get it at the end, usually days before White Sunday.
You get used to it (probably you already have) after a few more years!
But yeah, it's boring to sit and learn. So familiar, am I right?

Willy I have five bible verses then I have to learn two more for this skit that I'm in. Its SUPER hard man and I feel ever sadder for my friend who has six bible verses and then she has to learn like two more. White Sunday is so hard. The part I like about White Sunday is the feast at the end.LOL

A late morning visit to Lee Valley today, After waiting for the the early rain to clear I arrived at Hooks Marsh car park at around 11am.
Taking the bridge that crosses Seventy Acres Lake and Hooks Marsh Lake there's no sign of the Smew that were reported from Seventy Acres Lake yesterday.
I head across the River Lee and take a walk round North Met Pit. There's no sign of any Goosanders here yet, But I do find a single Goosander tucked in with a group of Tufted Ducks on Ashley Pit.
Goldcrests are seen in good numbers, and a Great Spotted Woodpecker drops in while making my way round to Holyfield Weir.
While scanning the lake and weir area a Kingfisher zips across the water and heads towards me and lands close by.
At the Bittern hide there's no sign of any Bitterns, But a Water Rail makes a brief appearance.
After an hour I'm thinking about moving on, when the hide door opens and Brian walks in.
Another hour or so and there's still no sign of a Bittern, but Water Rails are seen several times as 1-2 birds are seen crossing the channels or feeding in the channels.
|Grand Weir Hide
Time to head for home and plan tomorrow's outing.

Rosa and Josh are a quirky couple that usually do things a little differently. Rosa Isela says about their story leading up to the proposal,
'He was a well-dressed DJ at a goth club. I was a gypsy working for an environmental non-profit. My heart jumped to my throat the day I handed him my resume to work at the café he supervised in Union Square, San Francisco. Our lives had irrevocably intertwined at this mutual new job. We were friends for two years and after some sickening heartache (and more traveling for me), we go out for drinks to catch up, both single at this point. Three years later, he's holding my hand on a Santa Cruz beach, watching a lighting storm together when he asks me if I'll marry him. I chuckled an "of course" because we'd decided forever ago that we would. But this time, he says it again, and he gets down on one knee and pulls out a ring from his coat pocket. I'm living a dream.'
The fashion sense of this couple is superb! The outfits couldn't be better chosen, and coordinate so beautifully with one another, with a simple red-and-black color scheme that pops fabulously against the dark green forest setting.
Rosa isn't girly at all, by her own admission, and picked up the long red dress from Kohl's for under $20 and splurged on getting hair and make-up done at La Princesse Salon and Spa in Alameda. It was her first time wearing false lashes, and look how gorgeous and full they look! She felt it was "like wearing tarantulas" but oh boy, the camera loves the drama of this look and they are the perfect complement to the glamorous red gown.
Rosa also made her own earrings for this shoot using 2 crystal geode pendants from Michael's. She also found a glittery chain and attached clamps to turn it into a bracelet. The reason behind making her own jewelry is the same reason their wedding will be DIY: Josh and Rosa are both so eccentric (in their own words), they know there won't be another set up like it.
On shoot day, the weather was overcast with a significant chance of rain, but Rosa and Josh wanted to go ahead regardless. In fact, they preferred it! "We are not afraid of any beautiful gloomy weather, we both love rain and grey skies, and anyone who knows us might even think we chose the weather on purpose," she said.
So this was the perfect weather for the gray-sky-loving couple. A few drops of rain and lots of drama in the clouds. It also meant we were totally alone for the shoot with not another soul on our patch of Oakland's Redwood Regional Reserve.
Read Rosa's review of the engagement session here. A small excerpt:
"As an introvert, it was important for me to really feel like myself, not only in front of the camera, but with the photographer as well. It is hard to find calm and sincere people in the wedding industry who aren't hounding you or adding more stress to your big day. But with Zoe, I could tell she just genuinely cared about the overall well-being of me and my fiancé. I was nervous about being in front of the camera, as I am very camera shy, and we talked about this well before the shoot. She immediately understood me and had valuable insight to share to reassure me that I didn't have to fake anything during the shoot. I felt reassured that it was going to be everything I wanted it to be. She intuitively makes you feel comfortable.
Zoe's style is free-flowing, enchanting, and enlightening. She's a magical person and her photographs reflect her charm. It was a pleasure seeing her mind at work as she came up some on-the-spot locations to photograph us. We are so grateful to find a photographer who really has fun doing what she loves. We chose an environment that had bright and dark locations for our shoot (to reflect our eccentric personalities) and the techniques she used to bring out the vibrancy of colors in each surroundings came out jaw-droppingly gorgeous! Her love for natural light is expertly used to capture creative moments with skill and elegance. Zoe's photographs whisper songs of romance."
Thanks, Rosa! Get in touch for more information about booking your own engagement shoot with Zoe Larkin Photography.

Rwanda: Fear for safety: Fidele Uwizeye
There are fears for the safety of Fidele Uwizeye whose current whereabouts are unknown. He was arrested on 1 May 1998 and detained in Kigali but has since be transferred. The charges against him are unknown although some individuals have reportedly accused him of taking part in the genocide of 1994.
PUBLIC AI Index: AFR 47/21/98
UA 155/98 Fear for safety 19 May 1998
RWANDAFidèle Uwizeye, government employee
There are fears for the safety of Fidèle Uwizeye, whose current whereabouts
are unknown.
Fidèle Uwizeye - former préfet (local government official) of Gitarama under
the previous government of Rwanda - worked in the department of communal
development at the Ministry of Interior, Communal Development and Social
Reintegration under the current government. He was arrested on 1 May 1998 at
his home in the capital, Kigali. The charges against him are not known. He
was initially detained at the gendarmerie at Remera in Kigali. On 5 May, he
was reportedly transferred to another detention centre, the location of which
has not been disclosed. On around 9 May, his relatives, who had been taking
him food at the detention centre of the gendarmerie of Remera, were handed
back his various personal belongings. Officials at the gendarmerie reportedly
stated that Fidèle Uwizeye had been transferred to another detention centre,
but refused to reveal his whereabouts. They reportedly told the family not
to return.
The exact motives for the arrest of Fidèle Uwizeye are not known. Some
individuals have reportedly accused him of having participated in the genocide
in Rwanda in 1994.
Fidèle Uwizeye had testified in Arusha, Tanzania, as a defence witness in the
trial of Jean-Paul Akayesu, a former local government official indicted by
the International Criminal for Rwanda (ICTR)- the tribunal set up by the United
Nations to try the main leaders and organizers of the genocide. It is unclear
whether Fidèle Uwizeye's arrest and possible "disappearance" are related to
his testifying at Arusha. There have been other cases of individuals in Rwanda
who had acted as defence witnesses for people accused of genocide or indicated
their willingness to do so and have been subsequently subjected to human rights
violations, including killings and threats.
The number of "disappearances" in Rwanda has increased significantly since
1997. In many cases, the "disappeared" individuals are likely to have been
killed. In other cases, they are likely to be held in unacknowledged or secret
detention centres, including military detention centres to which the
authorities almost always deny access to the detainees' relatives and to
humanitarian and human rights organizations. Detainees in these detention
centres have reportedly been subjected to ill-treatment. There have also been
cases of killings of detainees. In addition, the conditions in many detention
centres amount to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.
There are currently around 130,000 people detained in prisons and detention
centres across Rwanda, the majority accused of participation in the genocide
which claimed as many as one million lives in 1994. While many of the detainees
are believed to be guilty, a significant proportion are widely believed to
be innocent. Amnesty International is not in a position to judge the innocence
or guilt of specific individuals, but is concerned about a pattern of arbitrary
arrests and prolonged detention without charge or trial.
Individuals associated with the former government of Rwanda are especially
likely to be viewed with suspicion. Some are known to have played a leading
role in the genocide, but others have been arrested without evidence of their
actual participation, simply because of the position they occupied under the
former government or because members of their families held such positions.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please send telegrams/faxes/express/airmail letters in
French or English or your own language:
- asking for information on the current whereabouts of Fidèle Uwizeye and for
this information to be immediately disclosed to members of his family;
- expressing concern for his safety following reports that he is being held
in an undisclosed location after his reported transfer from the gendarmerie
at Remera;
- asking for assurances that his safety and physical well-being are guaranteed;
- calling for him to have access to visits from members of his family, from
a lawyer and from humanitarian and human rights organizations;
- asking for the reasons for his arrest and the charges against him to be made

Surety Today: Investigating a Contractor's Character with N-Surety's Underwriting and Analytics Capability
The three pillars of surety underwriting are character, capital, and capacity. These "3 Cs" have been the basis for evaluating bond creditworthiness for decades, and they remain so today. The manner that underwriters evaluate the principal's capital and capacity for work has become more sophisticated as new technological tools are developed. Technology has been a positive influence in these areas, but how do we evaluate the intangible nuances of character in today's electronically driven environment?
For decades, bond producers met with all clients on a regular basis to gather information and to deliver the executed bonds. Likewise, the bond producers and surety underwriters met regularly to exchange underwriting papers, review information, and discuss the state of the local market.
Bond producers knew their markets well, particularly the local construction contractors, and they advised their clients and surety partners accordingly. With email, texts, cell phones, and the overall ease of communicating and transmitting information, there are too few face-to-face meetings today. Producers and underwriters have lost the benefit they had in evaluating character when surety was a relationship business.
There is no substitute for having a long-standing relationship when evaluating character as part of the underwriting process. In fact, I have seen some bad claim situations where the contractor was a new client of both the bond producer and the surety. The question is how to properly underwrite character today when there is no long-standing relationship.
Sureties typically rely on third-party credit reports, reference checks, and bank verifications to investigate a contractor. Each of these can provide insight to character. The biggest underwriting mistake I have seen is an underwriter acquiring the information but not following up on red flags or unusual comments in the reports. Simply getting the information is not enough; it must be reviewed and weighed. It is also important to request credit reports on all related entities, including prior companies owned or managed by the current construction team.
Technology must fill the gap left in the underwriting when the underwriter does not know the individuals or companies and a face-to-face meeting is not feasible. While few simple Internet searches may tell you about the people involved and their background, does this truly provide the detail needed to evaluate character, such as credit worthiness, quality of workmanship, personal ethics, etc.?
I've had a chance to work with NIIT Tech on its N-Surety platform, which provides a technology solution that helps the surety underwriter to develop a solid profile of the contractor's character and risk assessment. Additionally, NIIT Tech offers companion technologies, such as social media and analytics under the brand name Digital Foresight ®, which can be integrated with N-Surety in furtherance of the risk evaluation.
Digital Foresight® is as a cloud-based enablement tool that can harvest an extraordinary quantity of information and fuse it seamlessly to a gain real-time understanding of risk. It monitors client's habits, preferences, life events, behavior, and opinions that can predict future customer behavior.
Successful bond approvals require the surety underwriter to use all tools available to best understand the character of the customers and their projects being bonded.

Socks Fit For a King: Troy Manson Signature Men's Socks
When in India, do what the Indians do! Or do what YOU want to do, is closer to my philosophy. I received a gift pair of these Troy Manson Signature Socks before my departure to India last winter, so I decided to take them with to enjoy. I found an unsuspecting bystander to model these for me so I could snap a quick photo at the Vijay Vilas Palace in Mandvi, India. *I'll let you do your own research on this, but I highly recommend this as a tourist stop for anyone lucky enough to visit.
This "Life Is A Puzzle" pair reminds me that although events in life may be scattered, they are all connected in some way, and one day, will hopefully make a whole bunch of sense. ;) Life is certainly a puzzle, no doubt.
Where to buy: Troy Manson Website: https://tmsocks.com/products/life-is-a-puzzle
Price: $9.99 Available in Men's Sizes
Material: 80% cotton, 15% Nylon, 5% elastic

ABC Announces New Primetime Schedule for 2019-2020 Season
ABC Announces New Primetime Schedule for 2019-2020 Season
Published: Tuesday, 14 May 2019
Written by SciFi Vision
Strength and Consistency Key to Fall Lineup, With Only Three New Scripted Series Added – 'Emergence,' 'mixed-ish' and 'Stumptown'
Most Stable Schedule in Over a Decade
In the Great Tradition of ABC, All New Series Have Broadly Appealing Concepts With Strong Female Points of View
New Dramas 'The Baker and the Beauty,' 'For Life' and New Comedy 'United We Fall' Set for Midseason
'America's Funniest Home Videos,' 'American Housewife,' 'American Idol,' 'The Bachelor,' 'black-ish,' 'Bless This Mess,' 'The Conners,' 'Dancing with the Stars,' 'Fresh Off the Boat,' 'The Goldbergs,' 'The Good Doctor,' 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'How to Get Away with Murder,' 'Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,' 'A Million Little Things,' 'Modern Family,' 'The Rookie,' 'Schooled,' 'Shark Tank,' 'Single Parents,' and 'Station 19' Also Set to Return Next Season
In her inaugural upfront presentation as president of ABC Entertainment, Karey Burke will unveil a slate of programming for the 2019-2020 season that is bolstered by the strength of established, fan-favorite shows and captivating new programs energized by bold characters and storytelling. Burke will present her plan to the advertising and media communities this afternoon as part of the first Disney Upfront Experience, which brings together the networks of Walt Disney Television and ESPN at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York City.
"Since the beginning of the year, ABC has been the No. 1 network with a schedule that is working, and we are going to nurture it," said Burke. "Going into next season, our priorities are stability and launching shows in a way our audience will know we are committed to them. Add to that some of the most buzzed-about titles and top talent of the recent pilot season, and we have an enviable combination that sets the stage for us to win with women and grow our overall reach."
Only three new scripted series will debut in the fall – dramas "Emergence" and "Stumptown"; and the "black-ish" comedy spinoff "mixed-ish" – a remarkably fewer number, thanks to the consistent viewership that many of ABC's current shows continue to offer. In the current season, ABC claims six of the Top 20 broadcast entertainment shows, including two of the top four dramas – "Grey's Anatomy" and "The Good Doctor" – and the No. 1 new comedy, "The Conners" – all of which will return in the fall.
"A Million Little Things," which grew viewership following its move to Thursday nights and ranks No. 17 among the Top 20, will also return in the fall, along with the highly anticipated 11th and final season of one of TV's most celebrated comedies, "Modern Family," which rounds out ABC's entries on the Top 20 list at No. 19.
Additionally, fan favorites "America's Funniest Home Videos," "American Housewife," "American Idol," "The Bachelor," "black-ish," "Bless This Mess," "Dancing with the Stars," "Fresh Off the Boat," "The Goldbergs," "How to Get Away with Murder," "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "The Rookie," "Schooled," "Shark Tank," "Single Parents" and "Station 19" will return next season, as previously announced.
New dramas "The Baker and the Beauty" and "For Life," along with the new comedy, "United We Fall," will debut midseason.
On average since the start of the year, ABC is the No. 1 TV network among Adults 18-49 (entertainment only). For the entire 2018-2019 season, ABC ranks a strong No. 2 in entertainment programming, pacing within 175,000 Adults 18-49 of tying NBC for No. 1.
Fall premiere dates will be announced at a later time. Please note that shows picked up to series but not listed on the schedule below will debut later in the 2019-2020 season.

Exercising The Ten provides them both with a new perspective on their roles, reinforced daily.
And there is ample evidence – experiential, anecdotal and clinical – that delaying or outright preventing his orgasm for extended periods provides benefits to the relationship, adds to her pleasure and comfort (directly and indirectly), increases his diligence in courting his Queen and does no harm to his physiology. It's all a 'win' for her, and that makes it a 'win' for him, too.
So while he may find his access to ejaculation a bit restricted, she, on the other hand, is free to explore and enjoy all aspects of her reign in her domain, including hand signals as a form of control, and, importantly, her own pleasure and orgasm. In the latter, it's true: "The tongue is mightier than the sword."
From 'She Comes First', by Ian Kerner:"Irony, bitter and cruel, seems to be embedded into our respective processes of arousal: that a woman, so unique in her sexuality, possessing both a clitoris – and organ designed solely for the production of pleasure – as well as the ability to experience multiple orgasms during a single session of sexual activity, should so often find this vast potential for blazing ecstasy smoldered…all for lack of a match that can hold its flame. …
Few, if any, of the world's problems can be solved with a mere twenty minutes of attention, and yet here, in the complex sociopolitical landscape of the bedroom, we have an opportunity to create bilateral satisfaction. When put that way, in the context of sexual peace and equality, is twenty minutes of focused attention, applied appropriately, really too much to ask, especially if it can save your sex life? Take the path of the true gentleman: postpone your pleasure….Ushering a woman into orgasm is both exhilarating and liberating. When she comes first, anxiety and pressure are dispensed with: you are emboldened, empowered to pursue with gusto the gratification that awaits you – a climax that will be heightened all the more for having been postponed."
Salient items, Uniquely Rika 'D/s Questionnaire':
4. The dominant partner should be in control of the submissive
partner's sexual release
a. 24 hours a day / 7 days a week / 52 weeks a year
b. Whenever we're playing
c. Never, he should be free to orgasm whenever he wants
5. Situations where a woman is orally pleasured by a man who
is compelled to act is a huge turn on and increases satisfaction
of both partners
a. Strongly Agree
b. Agree Somewhat
c. Disagree
8. A woman being pleasured orally by a man who has been
denied his own orgasm is a turn-on and a strong fantasy I'd
like to fulfill
a. Strongly Agree
b. Somewhat Agree
c. Makes no difference
d. Disagree, it's really a turn-off

Best Office Gifts – 2018 Updated
Countdown to Retirement Clock
This is a fun little clock that shows how much time is left in their retirement. It is kind of memo/reminder that two of you have to spend more time to hang out together. It's also a very thoughtful and emotional gift if their retirement is around the clock and they are getting very excited about it. In anyways, it would be a fun little gift that sits at their desk and helps them calm down while counting days to retirement.
Walkie Talkies
If the cell phone reception doesn't work, or you hate calling them every now and then, it's time to go old school and grab some walkie-talkies. This piece of equipment can help you touch even within a pretty large area. It will also add a bit of nostalgia reminding you of the time that you spent playing walkie talking with your best friend. Charlie to the tower, over and out.
Best Coffee Cup Holder
If you've got a coworker that is very frequently spilling their coffee/tea or any other beverage on their desk, this is a very thoughtful gift that will reduce/stop the number of spills. It will keep them happy, not irritated, and more productive throughout the whole day.
Desktop Dogs
Now, there is no second argument that dogs are cute no matter what. Same goes for these dogs, they're as cute as they can be while each of them having their own purpose. One of them has a magnetic nose to keep a paper clip handy for easy access. The other one holds a pack of sticky notes ( the morning paper that he fetched in the morning ). If your college loves the dog, he'll absolutely adore these.
Personalized Bobblehead
Another way to show how much you care about them. If you look around, you'll find almost all famous athletes have their own bobblehead, and a lot of famous people have got their bobblehead too. But it seems like these bobbleheads don't find their way into the office. But, You can obviously fix that problem with these customized bobbleheads.
Blomus Notepaper Roll Holder
I frequently use post-it all around my office to jot down little reminders, but this has only one problem, that I run out of space pretty soon. Now, with this roller, I can go for as long as possible and there will always be more writing space to write on. All you need to do is grab a few rolls of calculator paper, and you're set. Plus, you can also mount it on a wall.
Vector Cup Holder
Now, I am sure that it has happened to all of us at some point, that intentionally we spilled a cup of beverage all over the place. Now, depending on which field you are in, this can sometimes be a very serious issue. In some cases, it can also destroy a laptop/computer. The high-end-clip eliminates all such possible threats.
It is suitable for cans, mugs, and cups of varying sizes, you can also use it with travel vessels. It can also be folded for easy storage, although you won't need to fold it since it sits peacefully at its place. You have to clip it to the side of the table, much like a guitar capo. There are many cheap ones available as well, but you have to go with a trusted one since you are trusting it with your coffee.
SimplePosture Lower Back Pain Relief Lumbar Support Pillow
I know, working in an office isn't difficult as working on a construction site, or some other very intense physical work, but you can't disagree that long work hours in front of a computer destroyed your back. If your coworker has ache at the end of the day, this can be a very helping and caring gesture. It provides a little extra lumbar support. The cushion is capable of alleviating the lower back pain and even makes the user feel more relaxed.
Foot Hammock
This comes among my list of things I ought to have for my personal desk, and I don't think why it shouldn't be your favorite too. It works great for providing relief to your legs to rest on. It makes your leg comfy and relaxed all day.
Erasable rewriter
I kickstart every day with a proper plan for the day, a plan for what I'll do, how I'll do and how much am I supposed to do. Now, in the start, this was being done on paper. I used to write it down on the notebook, and then on the next day, I'd write on next page. Then, I turned to rewritable notemaker. You can delete with one simple button. It comes with a stylus with which you can write easily.

We all say it's not going to happen to us, but then we reach our (not-so) late twenties and start to freak out because we're on the expressway to a mid-life crisis and after that our lives are practically over right? Dramatic? Us? Never.
MIRA Clinic are all too familiar with the shock realisation that your little cousin is no longer eight and has actually graduated uni now, so we teamed up with them to bring you this list of way too relatable ageing feels. Why? Because they offer a offer a range of treatments to help us come to terms with the ageing process and accept the beautiful people that we are inside and out.
In celebration of the roller-coaster that is ageing, here are 24 thoughts we all have about getting older. And just in case you're worried, you are going to be ok!
1. Each time a new gray hair comes through: "I am going to make like Helen Mirren and embrace my grays."
2. Next minute: "GET ME TO THE F*CKING HAIRDRESSER, STAT."
3. "The butterfly tattoo I got when I was 19 has got to go."
4. Anytime someone asks you how old you are you have to do some serious mental math: "2018 minus 1984 means I'm going to be…34."
5. "It's ok, the last 30 years took forever, I'm not going to die soon."
6. "What does [insert millennial acronym here] mean?"
7. "Can I retire soon?"
8. That feeling when the oldies radio station starts playing your fave tunes from high school.
9. "Is that ANOTHER chin hair?"
10. You've thought about getting lip fillers more than once.
11. "At what age will I stop getting pimples? I have wrinkles?! Enough already!"
12. "Yessss!": When you get asked for ID.
13. When you need a higher paying job because you can't quit your $780 anti-aging serum addiction.
14. "Where are my savings? Shouldn't I own a house by now?"
15. "Why does my entire body hurt?"
16. "My thirties are going to rock!": Until you hit 28.
17. "It's March already? Slow down time!"
18. "Can I just retire now?"
19. "Would it be wrong to ask for wrinkle relaxers for my birthday?"
20. "Do vampires exist?"
21. "Am I getting enough calcium?"
22. "I really need to get on top of my super contributions. At this rate I'm not going to be able to retire until I am 78."
23. "I can't wait to do my tax return and spend it all on Kmart homewares."
24. "I am a beautiful butterfly and the lines on my face are a map of where I've been and I'm ok with that!?"
The struggle is real. Check out Mira Clinic in the directory now.

I love the feeling I get when I discover a beautiful new (or new to me) designer for the first time. A wave of excitement washes over me as I admire the cut, construction and fabric. What could possibly make it better? Knowing that the label is ethically made and their brand mission is to give back! It Is Well LA makes wonderfully well made clothing and donates10% of their proceeds to Generosity, an organization that builds clean drinking wells for communities in need. Well that's pretty awesome in my opinion (sorry had to). I fell in love with their flowy fabrics and the ease of their pieces. They are simple but are made with an acute attention to detail, something that makes for a wonderful wardrobe staple. Read on for a bit more about the brand in their own words and get shopping! Some of their bestselling gauze pieces are now available online (with more styles coming soon) and they are offering 15% off your first purchase.
Who is It Is Well LA?
We are a husband and wife team. I (Amy Cho) design and my husband Young is in charge of operation and sales. We are a small company and we pretty much do everything ourselves from design to productions to sales. I always had a strong passion for fashion but was never brave enough to pursue my dream as a designer. Then I met Young who was already in domestic manufacturing business and he encouraged me to start off as a part time designer at his company and eventually I ended up being a full time designer.
You donate 10% of your proceeds to help build drinking water wells for those in need, philanthropy is an important part of your brands ethos, can you tell me a bit more about this?
As we got married and had our two beautiful boys, we were awakened to the fact that many children were not as fortunate as our own. Our journey to help others began with sponsoring two children in developing countries through " Compassion International". A quote by Winston Churchill, "We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give" inspired us to expand on our goodwill. Then one day, we were challenged by a missionary pastor to help 500 people in need. We discovered that we could meet that challenge by sponsoring a clean water well in a community where the women walk hours per day to collect unsanitary water. When we learned that one clean water well in one of these communities can create better lives for up to 500 people, we went to work right away to start It is well L.A. collection.
A little more about the brand..
Our line offers simple, easy, timeless silhouettes made from quality fabrics that feels amazing on. Almost all of our line is made with Eco-friendly fabrics such as Linen and Tencel. Our collection is all made locally in Downtown Los Angeles to create and generate jobs for our community. It is our passion to create quality clothing that will make one feel well, inside and out. It has been a quite a journey to get here but our cause is what keeps us going and we can truly say we love what we do!

The easy part is clearly behind us now. This morning it took 1 hour and 45 minutes from start to finish to feed them, entertain them, and clean/rearrange their pen. That doesn't include laundry. These little sweeties have begun to go through 4+ whole newspapers a day, 1-2 lbs of raw food a day, and require more entertaining and 1:1 attention now that they are older and more interactive. Also, Curry has to be bribed or forced to go in and nurse them, as she seems to have lost interest now that they have sharp little teeth.
We have begun having visitors- our first were my chiropractor Dr Peter and his daughter, Nyla who is 4. The next day we had Michelle and her 2 daughters Emily (14) and Amy (12). The puppies love it! They are not the least bit shy, and like being handled, cuddled and played with.
Saturday is our first open house for buyers, and I will be busy getting ready for that for the next day! Keeping the house clean has dropped lower on the priority list than it used to be, and is tougher too since we have this litter of pups.

ASU focused on eliminating mistakes vs. UCLA
TEMPE, Ariz. — Among the many things plaguing ASU football on its path to a 2-2 start, the self-made errors â most notably ball-control issues â are what's stood out the most.
Through four games, the Sun Devils have lost seven fumbles, putting them at 125th in the FBS. Only Florida Atlantic has lost more, with nine. ASU coach Todd Graham has preached ball security, but he still can't put a finger on why it's been such an issue.
"The No. 1 thing we've got to do is come out of this game with 100 percent ball security," Graham said after practice Thursday. "We've got to take care of the football like we always have."
Graham's not wrong in noticing this has been uncharacteristic of his teams at ASU. Last season, the Sun Devils only lost four fumbles all year. In 2013, the Sun Devils lost six. They've already exceeded both those numbers in just a third of the games.
RESPONSE TO BLOWOUT: Graham and quarterback Mike Bercovici stressed that the team's focus in practice this week has been themselves.
"From the second we entered the building Tuesday morning, I think you can tell we have leaders and it's showing," the redshirt senior quarterback said. "It's been fun. That's kind of been the motto this week â to have fun."
After a 42-14 whooping, it could have been difficult for ASU to stay positive, especially after Bercovici looked downtrodden at his Monday news conference. But the message has been to keep an upbeat attitude and that the season's not over yet.
INJURY UPDATE: After playing in his first game of the season against USC, sophomore running back Kalen Ballage will continue to work his way back into the rotation Saturday against UCLA.
Returning from mononucleosis, Ballage played every special teams snap and carried the ball nine times for 33 yards.
"He had a hard time last week," Graham said. "Coming off that type of illness, that's not easy â he wasn't able to do anything for three weeks."
Photo gallery
Entering the season, the plan was for Ballage to provide pass-rush help at Devilbacker. However, he's not yet at the point in his conditioning where he can play both ways. Any snaps Ballage gets against UCLA will come on offense and special teams.
While Ballage is not yet ready to take on a full workload, the emergence of redshirt freshman Ismael Murphy-Richardson has provided Graham with another option at Devilbacker.
"He's very talented," Graham said. "We have to continue to polish the raw off him. The only thing keeping him off the field is him and his development. But he has developed, and that's why you see him playing more.
"I think Ismael can handle the pass-rushing deal for us."
Murphy-Richardson didn't play Week 1 against Texas A&M but has seen the field every game since. He's recorded three total tackles this season, including one last week.
With Ballage continuing to work his way back, ASU should be at close to full strength on Saturday.
Cornerback Lloyd Carrington had been limited in practice all week, but Graham said he will play. Safety Armand Perry progressed off crutches and into a walking boot this week, but he will not play for the second straight week after he injured his left ankle against Cal Poly.

In April, Turkish Vogue decided to make two issues and to put Lara Stone on the cover of both of them. On the first cover, we see a simple black-and-white portrait of Lara photographed by Cüneyt Akeroğlu. The second cover shows Lara as a strong woman dressed in bright colors. The idea of the April issue was to show how different each woman can be under different circumstances.
*editors note: Lara still has no eyebrows.

Gartner takes the long view on MMS
A recent Gartner report confirms they are still wary of the nascent Managed Mobility Services (MMS) players. They are still seen as having insufficient depth in worldwide deployments of smartphones and tablets. Assessment criteria included technical and financial management, security and content management with special focus on authentication encryption and containerisation drawn from policies on access and use of corporate resources. Enterprise mobile management is still an emerging delivery field, but with a lot to prove to clients as IT departments struggle to keep pace with change.
Forrester eyeing up the challenges for mobility in business
Meanwhile Forrester have published their report on Enterprise Mobile Engagement. 74% agreed that mobile engagement was a major business priority, whilst 43% reported that creating and maintaining a wholly in-house mobile solution, integrating new architecture on different platforms was a significant challenge. Forrester believes there is good merit in using external suppliers to allow IT departments to focus on core business needs. The benefits of such trusted assignment should enable a healthier management and efficiency by taking a cross channel approach.
Do Apple's new phones take the pip and does it herald the end of the password?
This week at WWDC Apple had few surprises for us and announced two new iPhones as expected. The first was the iPhone 5C and is last year's iPhone 5 in a brightly coloured plastic shell, rumoured to be a cheap phone for emerging markets. But at a starting price of £469, it is surely not cheap.
Apple's new iPhone 5S unveiled a subtle Touch ID feature to enable users to access their phone with a press of the finger. The technology has long been vaunted and follows Apple's purchase of Authentec in 2012. However, the technology is not yet without pitfalls – gelatine in Gummi bears for example have been sufficient to spoof fingerprints and enable faking elsewhere. Also, privacy issues surrounding storage of biometric body data alarm some. However, the Fido (fast identity online) Alliance between Blackberry, Google and Paypal signal serious intent to make it happen in the future. A mix of multi-modal biometrics (iris reader + fingerprint) with more live two-factor authentication might underpin the next evolution of security.
Whether Apple has done enough here to support the next 12 months for iPhone will be an interesting waiting game.
The Smart Watches are coming
Both Sony and Samsung are betting on wearable computers to be the next commercial IT trend. With announcements of Smart Watches form both companies just weeks before Apple's WWDC, it seems they may have been expecting Apple to join the wearable computers market, as had been heavily rumoured. The Smart Watches connect up to your Smart Phone and gives you the ability to glance at your watch to check notifications, without pulling your phone out of your pocket. The main downside to these so far is the lacklustre battery life compared to a traditional watch. If you can get used to a change in your charging habits and see the benefit of glanceable notifications at any time, then this may be the must have accessory for you.

Lightweight materials and structures - today and tomorrow
The present work gives fundamental overview about the modern lightweight materials and their applications for reliable structures like aircrafts, vehicles and trains. Almost all innovative products are also characterized by energy efficiency and sustainability of structures. In nearest future a lot of composites with carbon fibers and different laminates will be used in production scale. Lightweight materials such as aluminum and magnesium based composites will have a huge potential for the future development.
Another trend to reduce the weight of the structure is the increasing of stiffness by structured sheets, extruded Al-Panels or Al-Foam-Sandwiches (AFS). In the last one Al offers not only its low density and the good mechanical properties but also the advantage that it is extremely suitable for foaming due to the relatively low melting point. Furthermore, it offers the particular possibility of manufacturing a strong, large-area material joint-AFS, due to the utilisation of a similar material combination – conventional or structured sheets in the cover layers and aluminium foam in the core. The semi-finished AFS products can be processed flexibly in the still unfoamed condition as well as in the already finish-foamed condition. Investigations into the welding and the resulting joint properties are necessary so that the advantages of AFS can be used effectively as a material for welded structures. In the presented paper, systematic investigations were conducted into the weldability of AFS in the foamed and unfoamed conditions, mechanical-technological properties of the joints (joining nodes) were established and FEM modelling procedures were carried out.
The problem of joining for such type of similar and especially dissimilar materials can be solved preferably by means of Friction Stir Welding (FSW). The FSW developing to Impulse Friction Stir Welding (IFSW) and the influence of impulse parameter on the mechanical properties of the welded joints are discussed in the third part of the presentation.

Food Waste Friday
Not too bad of a week. Most of our food is in good shape.
Food we wasted:
One orange that got squished at the bottom of the fruit bowl.
Food we saved:
I fished three broccoli stems out of the compost bucket, rinsed them off very well, and added them to the bag of vegetables for stock in the freezer. Who knows why, but I had it in mind that you couldn't use broccoli for stock. Now I know.
Eric made kimchi again and added a bunch of vegetable scraps to the freezer bag.
An apple started to rot in the fridge, but I saved the good half and froze it, then yesterday I used it as a smoothie ingredient and it was fine.
