Against luminous floor-to-ceiling projections in a raw Wall Street space, Donna Karan presented her 30th anniversary collection – and it couldn't have felt more fresh and new. Kicking off with a svelte pair of barely-there black hot-pants teamed with suede thigh-high boots and structured satin blazer, the collection immediately evinced a New York rock'n'roll vibe. Reworking classic Karan designs from decades past, looks were sophisticated and subtly provocative, with swathes of skin revealed beneath sheer layers of silk, lace and jersey. Legs were paid particular attention to – whether starring in a pair of hot-pants, poking through thigh-high Angelina Jolie style in an embellished gown, or barely concealed behind diaphanous bias-cut skirts and filmy, layered evening dresses. The breezy black sheer and opaque layers throughout were given structure and depth paired with chic tailored jackets, with plush outerwear in the form of luxurious fur coats and fur-lined puffa jackets offering necessary warmth. Texture was also at play, with velvet and intricate metallic beading alongside silk and fur – perhaps in reference to the halcyon days of the New York Jazz Era, and the city that made Karan a house-hold name. Key evening dresses appeared as updated disco-wear, highlights being the dreamy vivid red gown sported by Karlie Kloss and burgundy silk floorlength dress donned by a radiant Karen Elson.
Stepping out of revolting NY winter evening – a blizzard graduating into ice-cold torrential rain causing the street's filthy snow piles to turn into hazardous wells of grey slush – it was more than fitting to find oneself in Marc Jacobs' stormy Autumn/Winter 2014 set, complete with sculptural fabric clouds suspended in the rafters overhead. A little too fitting, perhaps. There's something to be said for fashion belonging, to some degree, to the realms of fantasy – to be removed momentarily from the everyday, i.e. the most depressing, glacial winter in recent memory. That said, while it may not have been the chirpiest spectacle, Marc Jacobs' surreal vision for the coming winter was certainly thought-provoking. As the audience perched on white leather pods with faux-clouds hanging overhead, drone-like models with bleached eyebrows and severe blunt-cut bobbed wigs and wide headbands stalked through the cavernous space as though in a trance to Jessica Lange's foreboding spoken-word rendition of early 20th Century standard, "Happy Days are Here Again". Appearing as a chic alien race, lookalike models donned 60s-mod meets 90s-raver Sci-Fi uniforms – go-go boots and chunky sneakers, flared knit leggings and boxy tunic combos, and mink bomber jackets atop sparse, elongated dresses with side split among the key pieces. Where last season's dark post-apocalyptic Victoriana vision for Spring appeared to be winter wear, this collection was the complete reverse – ensembles seemingly created for summer. Soft and strangely futuristic, the collection featured minimal, clean silhouettes with low scoop and v-necklines conceived in lightweight fabrics and a pale, neutral palette of soft pink, peach, taupe and white. Breaking the muted continuum, shimmering all-over sequin and bead embellished cocktail dresses added razzle-dazzle, while the unmistakable standouts of the collection were the closing light-as-air floor-length dresses featuring wave-like tiers of pastel organza.
An insane snowstorm didn't stop the fashion crowd attending Ralph Lauren's Autumn/Winter 2014 show this morning, where a new Polo women's collection was revealed. Youthful and upbeat, the Polo wares, aimed at a younger demographic than the mainline, consisted of wardrobe staples including leather bomber jackets, sporty outerwear in vivid hues, tailored separates, floral dresses and blanket coats. Following the initial 25 Polo looks came the Ralph Lauren mainline designs, distinct immediately from the earlier ensembles through attention to detail, luxurious fabrics and refined, elegant shapes – the styling of the dual lines was also vastly different, in particular the unsophisticated leggings-with-Mary-Jane's combo in the Polo portion. Ralph Lauren has always successfully marketed itself as a fashion brand that offers a lifestyle, a universe all its own populated with well-crafted, high quality attire. It follows that the collection, conceived in beautifully warm muted hues, would mirror this sentiment – womenswear timeless in its appeal, crafted from plush materials including suede, cashmere, Mongolian lamb, silk jersey and satin. Standout looks within the flawless, concise collection included confident menswear-inspired overcoats, double-breasted blazers and tailored trousers in crisp white, pale pink, lilac and soft grey reminiscent of 70s Bonnie & Clyde attire, and resplendent silk evening dresses in silver-grey that while ultra-feminine were surprisingly striking and modern.
In the midst of New York's bleak 'polar vortex', an insane cold spell that's seen the streets piled with dirty sludgy snow for weeks, Joseph Altuzarra's latest collection featuring elevated outerwear in brilliant colour was a welcome sight. Opening with a long, lean navy and royal blue double-faced overcoat, effortlessly belted at the waist suggesting a lithe 70s-inspired silhouette, the collection seamlessly moved on to include variations on the theme in black and cream, teal, camel and a bold somewhat 80s fusion of khaki and hot pink. While the effortlessly chic outerwear, including sumptuous shearling jackets and coats in winter white and chic black towards the shows close, proved the highlights, Altuzarra's sultry silk evening dresses and accessible separates were on point once again this season. In line with his intention to outfit elegant working women (albeit professionals with a fashion-forward approach to personal style), Autumn/Winter offered svelte and officious daywear in the form of suiting-inspired below-the-knee length skirts and dresses along with slim-fitting tailored trousers. A necessary shot of youth and vibrancy surfaced as striking artsy woven dresses with fringed hems hit the catwalk followed by audacious multi-hued mink coats, offering a quasi-bohemian alternative to an otherwise refined and understated vision for the coming winter.
Herve Leger
In sync with New York's wintry mood, it was a dark and stormy affair at Herve Leger by Max Azria for Autumn/Winter 2014 involving corset-inspired detailing, feathers and fur. The unexpectedly daring vision was an interesting departure for a label renowned for its straightforward body-con confections beloved by celebrities of the Kim Kardashian ilk – in contrast, it appeared to be the wardrobe of a sophisticated super-villain. Black and grey dresses were sleek and structured featuring sultry cut-outs exposing a little skin, with thick double-faced fringed skirt sections in contrasting colours creating a flippy and fun silhouette. Risqué open-toed thigh-high black boots and oversize leather and fur motorbike jackets in sombre tones completed the bold future-gothic looks, donned by models with high pony tails streaked with vivid hues. While some of the more audacious looks, including a skin-tight jumpsuit and cinematic deep purple dress with zipper and snake-skin detailing and intimidating black feather sleeves, might prove inaccessible, there was still plenty to appease devout Herve Leger fans in the form of on-brand sexy bandage midriff tops, high-waisted mini and knee-length skirts and jacquard-knit dresses in popping orange, cream and gold.
At Derek Lam the mood was playfully clashing, as boxy and sleek cuts and seemingly incongruous colour combinations collided. While it might sound a little chaotic, the multifaceted result was surprisingly clean and sophisticated with silhouettes ranging between elegantly oversized and expertly tailored, and lengthened hemlines befitting the modest turtleneck knit sweaters consistent throughout. The palette was particularly interesting, progressing from modish duck egg blue, tan and grey to forest green, crisp white, cream, pale pink and black – one patchwork leather pencil skirt deftly combining a variety of bold hues, chicly paired with a sharp black blazer. As we've come to expect from most New York designers over recent seasons, outerwear stole the show. Whether simple or statement-making, coats defined the key looks - from a cropped 50s-inspired lavender boucle jacket and roomy pale blue overcoat sans ornamentation (followed by variations in cream and grey), through to an eye-catching haircalf jacket in rich tan and a glossy forest green lacquered canvas coat.
It's always shamelessly exciting to catch a glimpse of David Backham at his wife Victoria Beckham's show each season, and for Autumn/Winter 2014 the fashion crowd caught a glimpse of the entire family as they stepped out onto the catwalk before the show. Given the recent launch of the brand's flagship Dover Street London store, and talk that there may soon be a Manhattan counterpart, this was a collection that had garnered some interest. Proof that Beckham's aesthetic is becoming more refined as it evolves, the outlook for Autumn/Winter 2014 was unfussy and ladylike in equal measures, with structured ensembles conceived almost entirely in crisp winter white and chic black, save for a singular vermilion dress and black and red wool overcoat with leather lapels. Gone were the sleek body-con mini-skirts and dresses Beckham became known for, replaced by elegant longer hemlines and chic looser-fitting silhouettes. Striking gold chain detailing along waists and necklines offered a hint of bling (perhaps a souvenir from her LA stint), while the final floor-sweeping pleated evening dresses delivered a touch of red-carpet glamour.
Desperate for a little fun at the end of a long snowy day, <strong>Opening Ceremony didn't disappoint with a collection shown against a wall dripping with Belgian chocolate. And it wasn't some masochistic situation where the melted chocolate was off-limits – the audience were actually allowed to dip their fingers into it, and for the more civilised attendees, mugs of hot chocolate were on offer. As for the actual clothing on show, guys and girls hit the catwalk outfitted in the cool and youthful, ultramodern wares we've come to expect from OC, this season conceived in rich colorways – the vibrant palette kicking off with forest green, navy, black and caramel, and graduating through to include popping red, white, pale grey, rust, vivid coral and purple. Shapes were graphic and bold, as striking womenswear including skirts and dresses flaunted asymmetrical hemlines and extreme volume. Prints were pop-tastic, with oversize polka-dots adorning sweaters and skirts, stripes appearing on cute day dresses and illustrative hand-prints on cropped trousers stealing the spotlight. The elaborate piled-on outfits throughout combining contrasting colours and materials were layered to perfection, the overall effect being an updated and elevated take on the current resurgence of 90s grunge-wear.
Against a sonorous Hitchockian soundtrack, Zac Posen's comparably imposing vision for Autumn/Winter 2014 - a stream of expertly crafted skirts suits, day dresses and sculptural evening gowns - took to the catwalk. Demonstrating his admiration and aptitude for the art of garment construction, Posen's sophisticated and ultra-feminine constructions appeared somewhat anachronistic – the attention to detail visible in the pleating, pin-tucking and draping akin to dressmaking of the 40s and 50s. Beginning with demure skirt suits and slim-fitting dresses in melange tweed complete with intriguing built-in mini-capes, the collection soon progressed to eveningwear with model Coco Rocha introducing the first – a sleek and sculptural burgundy cocktail dress alongside cat-eye sunglasses. The pin curled hair plastered with bobby pins and retro eyewear donned by the models throughout mirrored the vintage-feel of the more elaborate designs including a floorlength fishtail evening dress in mint green, burnt orange heavily draped gown and striking blue-grey red-carpet-ready confection with structured cape. Adding to the inherent drama, a handful of gowns appeared to have stepped out of a classic Disney film; one a ludicrously voluminous evening dress in stormy-hued silk satin with cinched waist, high neck and three-dimensionally full skirt, another Cinderella number in jewel green featuring padded pleating along the waistline to further intensify the cinematic proportions of the skirt, and intimidating jet black watermarked satin gown appearing the perfect get-up for an evil queen. Refreshing in his rejection of popular trends and consideration of the art of fashion design, Posen and his unique point of view continue to be an inspiring anomaly.
For the second season, Olivier Theyskens showed under the Theory label sans his name – it stands to reason then, that the Autumn/Winter 2014 collection for the American retail mecca should prove rather more saleable and mainstream than his previous capsule 'Theyskens Theory' lines. That said, among the chic, tailored dresses, jackets and cropped cigarette pants perfectly befitting the professional women the label caters to, were unexpectedly poetic flourishes; graceful asymmetrical hemlines, harmonious integration of diaphanous chiffon and opaque fabrics and sculptural deconstructed suiting. The aesthetic overall was incredibly neat and clean, from the almost entirely monochrome palette (save for rare touches of grey, tan and navy) and limited use of print, through to the lean, controlled silhouettes and cinched waist-lines. Outerwear came in two keys forms – mid-length jackets buttoned down firmly and nipped at the waist, and effortless knee-length overcoats worn open. Theyskens' exhibited real flair in several ensembles featuring innovatively reworked blazers with an undulating asymmetrical wave at the hip, niftily belted at the waist to create a slender feminine silhouette. The vision may have been conservative, but the experimental Theyskens' aesthetic we love him for was lurking there, just beneath the surface.
Paying homage to the suffragettes of the 19th and 20th Centuries, Karen Walker ditched her pretty mod-meets-grunge aesthetic of last season for a strong collection of tomboy-cool day and evening wear. It was Walker's most exciting collection in recent years, combining bold monochromatic Keith Haring-esque prints (one of her fortes), a chic spare palette, deceptively simple, boxy cuts and striking burgundy and black floor-length evening dresses that closed the show. Rarely does Walker present sharp, tailored black garments or evening gowns, and it was the inclusion of both that shaped the collection and proved its core. Beginning with an austere knee-length navy dress with cinched waist worn atop a button-down shirt and moving onto an oversize boyish pantsuit and chic, baggy suede trousers of the same hue, ensembles were understated and tough – quite a transition from the dreamy, hippie fare for Spring. Prints were graphic and playful on sweaters and maxi-dresses conceived in black and white, and featuring naïve renderings of laurel wreath's, hammers, hands and broken hearts. Breaking away from the sweetly staid and vaguely Victoriana collared dresses and shirts, coats drew on classic 60s shapes – oversize and cropped variations on a men's double-breasted overcoat and over-the-knee vintage-feel check coat with cropped sleeves and attached neck-tie the standouts of a well-executed collection.
Jeremy Scott
Whether or not you're a fan of his audacious aesthetic, it's impossible not to love what Jeremy Scott brings to NYFW each season – a necessary dose of fashion insanity. The crowd is always an hilarious mash-up of random celebs including ASAP Rocky, Grimes, Leigh Lezark Paris Hilton and Nicky Minaj thrown into a bonkers audience of fans and club kids donning Scott's fetish-rave wares. This time around, Jared Leto was the star of the front row – strutting in moments before the show, which was delayed in his honour, and broadcasting to the captive audience, "my apologies. You all look fabulous" – we couldn't help but chuckle. The vision for Autumn/Winter 2014 was all-American, with heavily athletic-influenced ensembles that practically screamed U-S-A!
With "We will rock you" blasting, guys and gals streamed past in matching football-inspired wear including jersey style dresses in cartoon-like red, blue and yellow ultra-furry fabrics emblazoned with graphic numbers across the front and back paired with fetish-inspired black patent lace-up leggings. There were also reworkings of baseball and basketball uniforms, one orange bomber jacket dress appearing as a deconstructed basketball while another oversized mesh tank was teamed with risqué underwear, garter-belt and stockings. The most interesting and experimental feature throughout the collection was what appeared initially as lingerie-like detailing, but was actually a play on lacing consistent with that of a football on bodysuits, dresses and skirts. Footwear was also striking; sporty high-heeled Adidas sneakers and dramatic thigh-high boots crafted from what appeared to be football shin-pads.

千九百五十: Back from Taipei
this t-shirt totally cracked me up; it says "Playing dead is prohibited"
Ok I'm totally behind on my posts now :x
I've just been to Taipei over the weekend with Ryo & I haven't even blogged about the Gold Coast Trip. Or the long weekend when I went to see the sunflowers. argh.
To remind myself, here's what's missing from this blog from then till now.
1. 15-18 July - Stay at Meriken Park, Visited Sayo sunflower fields, & went to see the 鉄人 at 長田。
2. 22 July - Appbank dinner at DD House
3. 29 July - 3 Aug - short trip to Tokyo, met Shuping & Maya & Fukushima-san & Manami-san. Went to the dino expo too.
4. 6 Aug - Yodogawa Fireworks
5. 7-Aug - High School baseball at Koshien
6. 10 - Aug - Morning High school baseball at Koshien
7. 13 - 17 Aug - Taipei with Ryo.
At least the photo in this post is updated, saw it in Taipei. As you can see, almost every weekend was packed since the last post, either travelling or doing something with Ryo, which is a good thing because we have been so apart the previous months with work / travel separately. Weekdays are crazy with work due to the quarterly release period again, and only got a chance to breathe end of last week & start preparing for Taipei & clear some of the errands/housework piling up.
I enjoyed Taipei alot, it was the closest I could get to Singapore so far from home. & also because i haven't actually had a chance to travel with Ryo since Feb when we went to Singapore. Singapore didn't really count cos I wanted to meet friends & we had to spend alot of time with family. In Taipei, everything was just cheap cheap cheap! when you can enjoy local food and transport for such low prices, travelling becomes 10x more fun, cos you don't have to keep counting how much the thing costs in your local currency & can just eat/drink w/o much consideration. Even so, we spent less than S$400 in total, around S$340 in fact for 5 days, and that's the total for 2 of us :D I guess we covered most of the costs by picking the hotel at Ximending, which covered most of the transport costs since it was central to everywhere. But generally the hotels costs as much as SG if not more, might as well settle for an OK one at OK rates. Which was lucky for me because if i had had to walk back to a really far hotel with my injured food at the end of each day I would have died. The pain almost killed me by the end of Day 3. Don't even know how it got so bad. Sighz.
Back to work tomorrow. Can foresee OT all the way to end of next week. The price I have to pay for a short vacation .. (T.T)

Five Minutes with Emma Rose Smith
Did you have something specific you wanted to communicate with this piece?
I had read a surreal short story by Julio Cortázar in which citizens summoned to a huge government house disappear. We skip around in perspectives, between many characters, but what's never described is beyond the door of the interview room. This is a kinder interpretation of what might have awaited the citizens in that story.
Is there a style/genre/or writer who has significantly influenced your work?
Dense and florid writing. Anything magical that surprises and convinces me. The sharp honesty of Helen Garner and Joan Didion. Toni Morrison, Annie Proulx, Marianne Moore, and Roberto Bolaño. Also the artwork by Remedios Varo.
Who do you show your writing to first?
To nobody. Then I work up the gall to show it to a notebook.
If you could be an animal, what would you be?
A turtle. To swim and also walk. And to stick my head in when I want to just sing to myself and hear the shell echo.
What is the strangest object you own?
A jar of human hair.
What do you read as a guilty pleasure? What about just for normal pleasure?
Always and forever, Catch-22. Also the news. And feminist theory, starting with Valerie Solanas. Ha!
What do you do when you aren't writing?
I bash out cocktails at a bar in Glebe, transcribe kids' poems at The Red Room Company, rewrite fiction drafts, get anxious, make zines, host literary events, and try to firm my buttocks.
Send us your favourite picture of an animal?
This is my ex-turtle Gina, who was indifferent to my morning singing. She now lives with a friend. I haven't gotten a birthday card.

There is recommended cleaning carpet with some dish soap, cotton towels, a steam iron, and careful technique. I have done carpet cleaning and will probably be doing more. Overall it's a pretty good video, but I wish to give some caveats:
You need to be careful about chemicals used on carpet; if you have the manufacturers' recommendations, know who your manufacturer is so you can find them, or know what kind of carpet it is so you can research recommendations for the following:
1. Material type.You need to read up on how to properly clean the carpet. Soap tends to be basic, and some materials should not be cleaned with basic solutions; others should not be cleaned with acidic solutions; getting it wrong way may remove chemicals applied for stain resistance so that perhaps this first stain of yours came out because the soil was around the fibers, but with their coatings remove the next stain may go (permanently) into the fibers and not be removable; you might also discolor the carpet.
2. Material generation/specific characteristics.
3. Chemicals applied to the carpet for its protection
Carpets can be one of five generations of Nylon; it can be Acrylic, Rayon, Cotton, Wool, Various kinds of sisal and jute (sometimes used only in backings), Polyester, etc.; it can be mixes of any of these, making cleaning more complex. And often one (untrained) cannot tell simply by looking at or touching it. (But even trained people might have to perform various tests either to determine type, or determine what's safe to use on it.)
Because they have to have many characteristics (e.g. resist water based stains, resist oil based stains, not be destroyed--e.g. unravel or bloat or else--by spills, maintain form under pressure, tread, and crushing for years, expand and contract with the environment but not too much, etc.), carpets are complex in a way. They're everywhere (at least in America), and have to be sophisticated enough to be something that can be tread upon constantly, crushed under furniture, spilled on, and generally just take abuse, but (as some southerners put it) "keep on keeping on" in spite of carelessness, neglect, under- or lack of maintenance, and all despite that their use is constant.
Centuries of weaving techniques are embodied in their construction; billions in materials and chemical R&D in their fibers and shape; their backings are mixtures of various materials to give them all sorts of properties and what exactly is in there can vary considerably; the very characteristics of the fibers themselves, not just material types and chemicals present, can matter to cleaning properly (i.e. not causing damage). I worked for one company that had a one-size fits-all approach and wanted us spraying silicon soil retardant/sealer indiscriminately, advertising how "gentle and nontoxic and green it is, though more expensive, than the kind of stuff typically used"; the problem is that there are some materials that one should not apply any kind of silicon to, period! And the business owner would have known this after decades in the cleaning business. I stayed there only a week and a half.
Thus my favorite comment to this video is:
And another, that starts to show it's more complex than "if you have a stain, use dish detergent":You should never put dish detergent on your carpet! This would have worked without the detergent.
Use an ammonia solution, wet towels and an iron, Follow the same procedures outlined here. Only the chemical changes. You are talking about cat food upchucked by the cat. That stain is a mix of stomach acid and Red Food Dye #4 which only ammonia will get. I have a carpet cleaning company and we use something called Red Out which basically is ammonia.Even this, however, can be a bad idea: one should not apply Ammonia indescrimnately!
The unfortunate truth (one that sucks) is that the manufacturers don't design carpets which take soils from animals or other substances to be cleaned by the ordinary Joe or the amateur. The manual the homebuyer almost never receives always warns to obtain professional services by knowledgeable professionals. Carpets just aren't as simple as they appear. To make it easy they usually say "steam-extraction cleaning only", though honestly bonnet and brush-scrubbing methods, if done right, where appropriate, by a discerning cleaner, can also be employed (but again, where appropriate as determined by someone who knows what he is doing: "steam only" is a bit of a simplification: I've done both, and will continue to use both, depending on where
I cringe when people go get those underpowered shampooers from the grocery, or local home improvement store, that can't extract enough solution to prevent worse soiling because residues are left, which are correlated with much significance to various mysterious illnesses (especially in children); there just "ain't no way" any sane business will sell or rent high powered suction equipment to people who aren't in the business: it is dangerous, and takes special handling, care, experience...without which one might electrocute oneself (with certain machines), blow-out a powerful motor with some pretty simple-to-make mistakes, and so on: it's all just too much liability.
Some months back we went to a house with carpets that looked just awful, and then spent more time extracting do-it-yourself-er shampoo than dirt, with pass after pass more foam bubbling up, and I sat thinking to myself how normally we might *want* (and probably could) to charge the customer for the extra labor: we're there to do various passes in certain directions for dirt and spills, not four times the effort to fix customers' own attempts at cleaning; I don't know anybody that tends to, but instead this lets one show customers why cleaning machines (besides vacuums) available to the average person are such a terrible idea (it's this extra residues that, besides posing a health threat, cause the carpets to become so darn dingy): when she said that she had tried removing the dirt and stains herself with rented shampooers, we could actually tell her before that we would probably be pulling out a bunch of residual shampoo, and as she watched the shampoo come back out (that she thought she had extracted), explained the threat to tenants' health and overall cleanliness: this was not someone who we would ever make much money off, either, and from a business perspective compared to our normal rates makes no sense to schedule, being she gets the friends-and-family "discount" (practically free and barely covers expenses, pay for time being a drastic reduction from normal or minimum desired/fair, etc.).
As for this video, ironing probably won't remove all the soiling of a very wet stain, for the same reason his stain came back the next day after the first cleaning: pollution passes straight through the carpet, rather than just sticking and going in to the fibers, so by cleaning the surface, the fibers wick some of what passed through back to the surface. The material that passes from the surface to below also tends to spreads (or tends to) underneath in the sub-floor, in the backing and so forth. What this means is that one should not clean just the spot, but all around it, but the area around it where soiling is not visible probably cannot be reached with this method: it is spread underneath! If you have ever ripped-out nice looking carpet in a mysteriously smelly house, you discover how far animal stains can go in those invisible places! (And, unfortunately, release the rest of the smell for your enjoyment while on the job.) And all that organic material becomes a smorgasbord and comfy home for bacteria to thrive on and make generate the odors.
So there you go, caveats.
Don't tell those I work with that I said this, but you definitely shouldn't spend your last ninety, or (depending on house size) several hundred, dollars on getting professional cleaning (of course a constantly incontinent dog that keeps hitting the same places might be an exception: I had one of those about a month ago, and recommended that they get a nice large, climate-controlled, dog house to make the old boy a permanent outdoor resident safely, to preserve their high-end dollar flooring materials).
Animal stains can actually be among the hardest things to clean. And heck, coming behind and cleaning after some DIY-er thought they did well by using an iron on the visible portion of a spill or animal stain often means, once professional equipment and techniques have disturbed any subfloor staining that was set before, that "new" stains will appear, i.e. really they are old, but they may never have been visible in the places they appear, though often a stain like that cleaned in this Youtube video also tend to reappear because material trapped further below was not extracted by the iron.
Whenever a spill or stain occurs, notate the kind and location, the date* that it occurred, and what you did about it. (*How long something has been in carpet can matter to proper cleaning, and even indicate if it's even possible: and don't lie, because once materials and soil are known, long-time cleaners have a good sense about whether or not it will be removable, and if they find it's not but you said it was very young, they know the materials aren't lying; we may not call someone a liar to their face, but it certainly is useful to have someone insisting this when you know that, giving you insight on someone without them knowing you have it.)
All this information can help to insure the highest quality of cleaning is accomplished. E.g. at another recent job a spot appeared and kept reappearing incessantly; the customer swore they never saw it before at first, and that they hadn't seen after the last cleaners hired had come the year before: the funny part was that they didn't seem to remember that they...was us! (disclosure: I am from the South, and not making fun of African American Vernacular, as some might perhaps take it: actually their vernacular is a legitimate dialect that is highly interesting!!!! And these customers were not African Americans.) Eventually someone admitted to maybe spilling cooking greast. Someone had cleaned the surface and thought the mess was cared for, but along the lines as already explained, it wasn't fully dealt with. I stayed and cleaned, and re-cleaned and re-cleaned, until the wicking had all ceased. (You might wonder why we didn't use steam cleaning? Actually it would have made no sense for the circumstances: with one tenant of the apartment being home bound they couldn't do steam, which would take too long to dry and pose hazards to her; therefore a scrub, encapsulation, and extraction method was used.)
So there you go! G'luck!!! Happy cleaning.

Simple Reminders for Pedestrian Safety Around Forklifts
Whether or not your company has a pedestrian safety program, you – as a pedestrian – should be aware of some basic safety procedures to make sure you stay safe. After all, 20 percent of forklift incidents involve pedestrians being struck by a forklift and no one wants that to happen to them. So keep these simple tips in mind to stay safer around forklift operation.
1. Be Aware
We can't recommend this enough because pedestrians can easily cause a forklift incident simply by not paying attention. Be aware of your surroundings. It's vital to staying safe when you're working or walking near forklift operation. Here are a few of the most important things to keep in mind:
- Forklifts are designed to stop slowly to minimize load damage and maintain stability. If you're in their way, they can't stop suddenly to avoid hitting you so make sure you stay out of their way.
- Forklifts have a wider swing radius than you'd expect. In contrast to cars, when forklifts turn, the back end swings out. Keep well clear of forklifts turning - including while they're in reverse.
- The operator's visibility can easily be obstructed by the load and blind spots in the facility. Never assume that the operator can see you. Look for hand signals and eye contact from the operator when you're near a forklift.
2. Stick to Pedestrian Walkways
Pedestrian walkways are there for your safety. Ideally, there will be physical barriers to further separate you and the forklifts, but when there aren't, stay well inside the designated walkway. If you must approach a forklift in operation, maintain at least 4 feet of distance.
3. Never Walk Under the Forks or an Elevated Load
Walking under the forks (whether they have a load on them or not) is extremely dangerous. Falling loads can easily cause a fatal injury so stay away from the potential path of a falling load. It isn't just loads that represent danger. Even without a load on the forks the lifting mechanism - which controls the forks - can fail with you underneath. Meaning the forks can fall on top of you, potentially causing a fatal injury.
4. Don't Ride on Forklifts
Unless the forklift is specifically designed for riders and you have explicit authorization you should not ride on a forklift. That includes standing on the forks. Forklifts are not designed to lift people and even when you're using an approved lifting cage that's securely attached to the forks, there is inherent danger to you.
Following these basic reminders will help you stay safer when you're around forklifts. For more ways to avoid an incidents with a forklift, read: The Complete Guide to Forklift Operator & Pedestrian Safety Training.

there…there is where beauty never wanes
and illusion found discarded
barbed is the language of human hearts
tumbled and bare skinned
rehearsed in risk
and still…
she opens
there…there is where beauty never wanes
and illusion found discarded
barbed is the language of human hearts
tumbled and bare skinned
rehearsed in risk
and still…
she opens
"there is no pretense to my breathing
or its mere seconds of suspension
when I feel you well up within me…"
There is no other that I choose, and yet how can I live the rest of my years here with a cold loneliness, a void hidden deep within. I, in constant flux of this living and dying. It is like a thousand thieves steal my gentleness and I rage for extraodinary…these winged words fly away and remain uncaptured by him
I use to think I needed to reach a certain place to be defined as successful, but I have move beyond those thoughts. I choose to not remain in a certain place, nor plant my feet on any plateau, nor assume I am completed pieces of a put-together-puzzle! Life is evolution, ever in motion, in a constant state of flux, a river snaked to the ocean, evaporation to rain, of storms and swells, lapping tides, rushing and crashing, to calming ebb and flow.
I willingly dive into life's waters, yet it is not always an easy choice. Even seemingly safe waters are decieving, distances are skewed, the shallows are not necessarily safe, and a deeper depth just may save you…what appears to be, is not always what is. To live is to risk! Evanesce of pain and hurt requires change, requires one to rage war within, requires an acceptance of dark to find light, to search bloody battlefields of self to find love, to love oneself and to love others.
To become love is my choosing and it has been so very hard these past few years to be open to change, to brave the heartwrenching pain that comes from stretching beyond self-imposed thresholds, so that I may peel back layers, dismantle the metal armor, tear rancid flesh from my bones lying in blood and dust, just to expose the very core of my existence. I am full of scars, and still tend to the cuts bleeding…self-love does rage against self-hate. Yet, how precious my spirit, my soul, willing to risk all that I created, everything desirable and undesireable, all that I have known, to become more than a statistic, more than a label, more than my sex, more than my physical body, more than someone else's measure of my worth.
And where does all this leave me? Still willing! Trusting this moment to lead me into the next moment, to guide me from novice to mastery…through war…to love
I have lived a lifetime in this last year. I am aged and I am split into versions of me. I'm letting go of the old to clear way for the new, yet I have deep ties to the older version of me that I won't…can't unthether. Not that anyone is asking or expecting me to. Some things I must hold and carry with me, which I am gloriously happy to do so.
The next steps I take are a sensitive matter…this path requiring a delicate balance. I must trust my ability, spread love farther, deeper than ever I've chance. I am willing! I am willing to experience life rather than be in it. To fling wide my heart and paint my passion, rest and withdraw when necessary, ride the waves of emotions, trust my inner-knowing and LOVE from the deepest depths within me. I am willing to live, never having not love with grace and beauty,
This is a pivotal point, a portent, a masterpiece emerging, a wildness honing…
I don't want to return
to those seconds where I died
it is not the scene of a pretty flower wiliting
rather a self-massacre
a dissection of heart and mind and soul
I drowned in my own pooled blood
it was warm for a few minutes
as if relief escaped the wound
I so thick-layered with darkness
I could only reach out into the emptiness
I don't need to return to that lifetime
I just never want to forget death
for rebirth follows
long ago in that darkness
a star shone its message
and my heart still yearns
for its lighted hope
I have really stepped away from writing for quite sometime now. It's not an intentional thing, rather I just found myself distant from my writing self. Perhaps I created these heavy barriers! My fears spoke a little while back, I was paralyzed for a few minutes in the space of a few minutes, and that fear ultimately pushed me into a silence I no longer care to fucking endure. Of course there are more reasons I care not to reveal but let me say it is/has been a rough path I wander. I know now why I have gone this way…I do so for growth, truth, clarity, because it is a necessary process, the kind where towers collaspe, the truth of the weak foundation exposed, the kind where I welcome the shedding of old skin, ridding the dust that has settled inbetween the cracks of all the previous years. Despite the overwhlming ache and pain, in the deepest part of my soul, this shedding comes regardless. All these dark layers, the wastelands that are uncovered, they are the fuel for a beautiful propulsion through an opening in the veil. I gratefully, achefully, painfully, knee-deep and drowing, wade through it all. I don't want to go back to the other side, the side faded of the truth of me. So I let the vapor overtake and permeate, the ghosts care not to stay here in this atmosphere. This valley I look out into and walk through is for the greatest reason and that greatest reason is always for LOVE…a love beyond the limitations of our human mind. It starts within! A deeper, slow growing seed, watered for longer than a millennia, or more, and often again and again!
The poem is not necessarily speaking of the field I have been in. And yet is so true to form in my writing. Multiple layers weaved through simple words as the humaness of me and the spiritual inner knowing of me soaks into and colors the pages. I never see it until later afte r the writing is down on the page.
This morning during my walk I realized how much I miss the poetess in me. I feel more beautiful, as if she is the only truth to me, but I know I am she and she is me! I am many parts of a whole…some parts lay stilled, far away, seperated from me/she (That is a longer story!)
Anyway, this morning during my walk I knew I needed to bring back my breath, open my heart again, break free from self-imposed chains of expectations that have failed to come true. So after my walk, when sharing space with my granddaugter and one of my beautiful daughters, we sat quiet as the music played. I was relaxed and at peace, content for the gentle moment. I could feel the energy building, the words daring to writhe to the surface. A hunger…a knowing
Music is a muse that manifests poetry from a deep place in me. I always feel I am reminisceing of earlier lifetimes when writing. Often I stare out the window and let the sound move through me. That is just the dancer in me…lost in the rythmn and it was in that moment, lost for a few seconds, that suddenly a flash of blue and red flew by my window. And there they were, the cardinal and the blue jay, stilled, as if time stopped or at least slowed, wings wide spread, chest to chest, a beautiful war, a beautiful dance…
And, so very reminiscent of the many shades and shapes of us, my love!
you are the silence
may I never breathe in any other noise
let us keep our place there
where we are the roar of waves
ageless ebb and flow
undeciphered by any other
locked on & intertwined
coded pieces of home
you are earth holding my water
the expanse of air to my flame
searching no other
only you will understand
the drops of love existing
within this silence
why should she resist
resonating within her heart
he is risk luring her to leap
yet, hesitation borders the edge
where silence pulls her mind
want & ache propel her veins
dread is not her cloak
nor fear her religion
only he, a lighted sky; aflame
revolution of wildfire storms
as love touches the boundary of skin
beautiful scars lay permenant underneath
blood rushes
breath flows
earth consistenly shifts
sensuous years left spinning; still unknown
time an ever-revolving mystery
and our love…
a certain keeping
slipping us into the deep
we, a whisper away
I let it all fall away
this aged untruth
brittle & cracked
little bits & pieces blow away
in every gust of your air
why should I awaken at this time
in unexplainable phenomena
is any reason necessary…
I must be unafraid
an opened heart
dreaming light
breathing ageless memories
and find you are
the violence and violet
of my veins
Lines & poetry - brief takes on life, relationships, online, incognito or otherwise...
My soul connection/twin flame journey
Welcome to my world.

Standard operating hours for the facilities are from 8:00 am until 11:59 p.m. Arrangements for activities before or after these posted hours can be made through your Event Coordinator. Your contract with the facility will show either these standard building hours or other hours agreed to at the time of contracting. Times earlier or later than standard building hours are subject to overtime charges, and exceptions not shown in your contract must be approved in writing by our Assistant General Manager. Talk to your Event Coordinator ahead of time to plan for your early and late hour needs.
Once you have signed a license agreement, our Events Services Team will serve as your primary source of contact for services and equipment. An Event Coordinator will be assigned to work with you approximately 12 months prior to your event.
Think of your Event Coordinator as the number one player on your team. This individual is assigned to work with you and your staff from initial planning through the close of your event. Later in this handbook, you will find a timeline and series of due dates for providing information to your Event Coordinator:
The marquee over the main entrance offers you the opportunity to identify your event to your attendees. Please provide your Event Coordinator with the exact copy of what you would like on the marquee for your event. Due to scrolling capacity, the messaging on the marquee is limited to the name and date(s) of the event. In addition, we will post your event name on our website with a link to your website. These services are provided to you free of charge. All events are posted 30 days in advance and will run through the last day of your program.
All food and beverage services are provided exclusively by the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel. A wonderful meal combined with impeccable service will make your next convention or event at DeVos Place unforgettable. The Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, renowned for its culinary excellence, will provide your group with an in-house Sales and Catering team that will assist you in planning delicious offerings that will have your guests talking about the event for days. The Amway Grand Plaza's experienced culinary team can provide selections for beverages, appetizers, and succulent main courses all masterfully prepared by Certified Master Chef, Josef Huber. And you can rely on professional attentive service before, during, and after your event as your attendees savor meals of five diamond quality without the five diamond price.
A concession counter is located at the south end of each exhibit hall. Please arrange for hours and placement of concessions with both the Concessions Manager and your Event Coordinator.
Our Engineering Department ensures the heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, lighting, and other critical building systems work correctly for the comfort and safety of your staff, attendees, and exhibitors. They rely on you for accurate and timely information.
We are your full-service telecommunications source! Our Engineering Department installs telephone lines and instruments as well as high-speed Internet service. Phone lines may be ordered by filling out the phone line service order online at http://www.devosplace.org.
Phone lines do not come with a telephone instrument and are available for an additional charge. DSL lines require a minimum of 45 days advance notice.
BlueWater Technologies is our preferred, in-house supplier of audio visual, sound reinforcement, projection, and other related services. They are the only authorized operator for the DeVos Place Convention Center house sound systems. We recognize that many meeting planners have contractual relationships with other audio visual suppliers. You are welcome to work with your preferred supplier, however all labor must be scheduled through the Union I.A.T.S.E., Local 26.
A fixed sound system is installed in all of the Grand Gallery and Overlook Meeting Rooms. This system is capable of providing excellent sound for speakers and announcements. The Exhibit Halls have an overhead sound system. This system works well for announcements and as a paging microphone, but it is not suitable for a presentation. Paging microphones set up in the show office that corresponds with your hall is free of charge. Additional paging microphones are available for a small fee. The lobbies in the Grand Gallery do not have a built-in sound system. If you desire to have announcements made in these areas, a free standing sound system will need to be installed.
One radio will be allocated to you by your Event Coordinator. Rental radios may be ordered from Blue Water Technologies if you need to communicate amongst your staff. If your event spans the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel and DeVos Place, you will want to consider renting a repeater.
Media falls into 3 categories: Press, Radio and Television. Each group must advance their needs prior to the event with their Event Coordinator. All facility equipment and services will be charged for media usage. This includes electrical hook-ups, telephone lines, tables, chairs, risers, etc. All media groups are subject to the same Exhibitor Guidelines as all vendors displaying at the convention center. This includes signage, banners, no stickers, etc. You are responsible for informing your Event Coordinator of which charges are approved by the show for use by the media. These charges will be included on your event settlement. Parking for live broadcast vehicles is limited around the facility. It is imperative to coordinate prior to your event for any live broadcast locations. DeVos Place does not have free parking to offer to press vehicles, journalists, or on camera "talent." All media involved with an event is responsible for their own parking.
DeVos Place has a signed labor agreement with IATSE Local #26. The agreement is very comprehensive. Please coordinate your needs as specifically as possible with your Event Coordinator. It is helpful to have a script of the proceedings and timeline of rehearsals, etc. if you have a full production. For smaller events with less AV needs, you will need to communicate exactly what equipment will be used and what will be happening on stage at any time.
If your event includes a general session or a large meeting that utilizes staging, lighting, large-scale video and sound reinforcement, or a major theatrical presentation your Event Coordinator will arrange for Union labor to help during load in and load out. Regardless of whom you select as your audio/visual supplier or your production company, the facility's Union House Head(s) staff must be used.
Your Event Coordinator work with you to arrange for any additional security staff required to service your event. In the interest of public safety, DeVos Place may, at its sole discretion, require the presence of Grand Rapids Police Officers during certain events. DeVos Place may require, Grand Rapids Police officers to direct traffic on Monroe Street for shows that expect large crowds.
If your event requires armed guards, they must be sworn law enforcement officers, licensed to work in the State of Michigan. (Or Federal Officers such as the FBI, Secret Service, etc.) At no time will armed guards, other than sworn law enforcement officers be allowed into the building.
We are responsible for providing a secure building perimeter (including loading docks) and a 24-hour security office where the emergency response system is monitored. In addition we provide security and traffic control on the loading docks during move in and move out. They also manage our lost and found services. You have the option of contracting with an outside security company for dedicated details within your event space. When doing so, the selected company must provide us with specific documents to include a current insurance certificate and proof of workers' compensation coverage. It is our pleasure to provide you with secure entrances and public areas, as well as to coordinate emergency services through our security office.
Upon request, your Event Coordinator can provide you with keys to your specific rooms. A limited number of locks can be re-keyed to accommodate your specific needs. The charge for this service is $150 per cylinder. Please let your Event Coordinator know how many keys you will need and the specific rooms. You will be asked to sign a waiver upon receipt of the keys. There is a $500 fee charged for each key that is not returned. You are responsible for all keys issued for your event.
EMT's will be scheduled and billed to the event settlement for all public events held at DeVos Place. They will be scheduled one half hour prior to doors opening and will leave when the patrons are gone. Any event that is not open to the public and request to have EMT's on site, may schedule them via their Event Coordinator.
Wheelchairs are kept in the First Aid office for emergency use only. AMR or Security will operate in the case of an emergency. DeVos Place will have 4 wheelchairs on site at all times for guests to use as needed. The DeVos Place security office will handle the distribution of all wheelchairs in conjunction with AMR and the Event Services staff. All users will be required to sign a wheelchair release form at time of check out.
Working through your Event Coordinator, our operations crews set all of our tables, chairs, staging, recycling and trash receptacles, and other equipment where and when you need it. They'll move the meeting room air walls into the right places and handle your changeover requirements with dispatch.
This is one topic that we'd like you to read carefully -- We provide your initial set-up at no charge, as long as we receive your set-up requirements in final form at least 30 days before your first move-in day. This includes all of your non-exhibit areas (meeting rooms, offices, general sessions, meal functions, etc.). However, you will be charged for labor costs for any changes to these initial set-ups. If substantial changes are requested after we have scheduled our labor, you will be charged for the labor to set and/or change these areas.
Nothing may be taped, nailed, tacked, or otherwise affixed to ceilings, painted surfaces, fire sprinklers, columns, fabric or decorative walls. This goes for surfaces throughout the building, not just in the exhibit hall -- so you will see this rule again as it applies to meeting rooms and ballrooms. Please pass the word along to your staff, speakers and exhibitors.
No lighter-than-air balloons will be permitted inside DeVos Place. Some areas of DeVos Place use "beam" type smoke detectors. The potential exists for balloons to trip these detectors and set off the facility fire alarm system. The client shall be responsible for enforcing this provision. If vendors or decorators bring in helium the balloons will promptly be removed from the facility.
Unfortunately, even with recycling, trash removal is an inescapable cost item. DeVos Place provides labor and removal of normal post-event trash at no charge. However, if amount of trash is considered excessive, client shall be charged for refuse removal. For removal of all compactors and debris boxes, we will pass on to you the charges that we incur.
As the Licensee who has contracted for the use of the facilities, you are responsible for any damage caused by your staff, contractors, exhibitors, speakers or attendees. This is intended to help us recover costs for repairing damage to the facility (which exceeds reasonable wear and tear) caused by anyone connected with your event.
Your Event Coordinator will schedule a "walk-through" on the first move-in day. A second "walk-through" will be scheduled at the conclusion of the event to compare conditions and determine responsibility for any repairs or replacements. You will be kept informed of any damage occurring during your event, with both written reports and photographs, when possible.
Our goal is to keep our facilities in good repair so every client enjoys the attractiveness and serviceability of the center equally. We know you cannot possibly oversee everything that happens when you are on-site, and that you cannot control all of the actions of your guests or exhibitors. You should minimize your risks and make sure that your exhibitors and guests know the rules that apply to them. Let them know that you will hold them responsible for any damage they cause in the facility.
If your event requires ushers or ticket takers or coat check, your Event Coordinator will arrange for those personnel through our Front of House department. We provide equipment and staffing for coat and parcel check services (on an exclusive basis) through our Front of House department. These areas will be designated in appropriate high-traffic locations where space is available in relation to your floor plans.
We can provide this service based on your preference:

England outplay Windies in third Test winBy AAP Newswire
England have wrapped up a comprehensive 232-run victory over West Indies in the third Test despite a century from home batsman Roston Chase.
Middle-order batsman Chase scored an unbeaten 102 for his fifth Test ton after England pace bowler James Anderson ripped through the home side's top order with three quick wickets.
Although West Indies had already won the series with victories in the first two Tests, England's win in the finale will provide a boost as they eye a home Ashes series against Australia starting in August.
"This week should be a real confidence booster going into a very exciting summer of cricket," Joe Root said at the victory presentation.
Chasing an unlikely target of 485 runs for victory on day four, West Indies made 252 in their second innings.
Root had declared England's second innings in the morning at 5-361 after he fell for 122.
The successful bowler was Shannon Gabriel, later charged by the International Cricket Council for comments made to the England captain during his innings on day three.
Root responded to inaudible outburst from Gabriel by saying, "Don't use it as an insult. There's nothing wrong with being gay".
Chase brought up his century with his team already nine wickets down when he cut part-timer spinner Joe Denly for four.
He was aided by an entertaining 34 by tailender Alzarri Joseph, who slogged three sixes, but pickings were otherwise slim for the hosts, who crumbled again after scoring only 154 in their first knock.
"We still have a lot of improvement to make but lots of positives came out of the series," said West Indies captain Jason Holder, who was suspended for the match due to his team's slow over rate in the second Test.
The hosts' top order had no answer to Anderson's movement off the seam, with John Campbell (golden duck), Kraigg Brathwaite (eight) and Darren Bravo (duck), all caught in the slip-gully cordon.
Mark Wood, who picked up five wickets in the first innings, had Shai Hope (14) caught at cover off a leading edge just before lunch. Wood was later named Player of the Match.
"He bowled fantastically well, a huge amount of pace," Root said.
Anderson finished with 3-27 while spinner Moeen Ali had 3-99 as England won with more than a day to spare.

This story was delivered to BI Intelligence " Digital Media Briefing" subscribers. To learn more and subscribe, please click here.
Univision is finally launching a platform that will enable programmatic ad buying on popular satirical news website The Onion and a variety of other assets, Adweek reports.
Along with The Onion - which is now part of Univision's Fusion Media Group - other properties such as Univision Digital, The Root, and The A.V. Club will be powered by a platform called Mosaico Trading, which will act as the programmatic advertising and audience solutions business unit to more precisely target digital audiences.
Univision's programmatic offering is long overdue, as programmatic spending has seen a big jump among marketers in the past couple of years. In 2015, 32% of US marketers allocated more than 50% of their digital ad budgets to programmatic, up from 14% in 2014, according to a January 2016 survey from AdRoll.
In particular, the Mosaico Trading platform should help brands that advertise with the publisher capitalize on Univision's multicultural audience. Univision Digital's SVP of sales, Fernando Rodriguez, claimed that 60% of the Hispanic audience across all media is not properly identified by advertisers.
Through enhanced programmatic technology, Mosaico can leverage first-party data from Univision's consumers to help advertisers reach very specific audience segments where others might have fallen short in the past.
The move comes on the heels of Univision's upfront presentation, in which it announced the availability of programmatic ad-selling across its linear TV properties. Univision will leverage ONE by AOL - a programmatic advertising platform - to give potential buyers and clients access to the media company's entire television programming inventory.
Through automated data exchanges, ONE will help streamline the advertising process, making it easier for clients to execute TV ad buys, according to Univision. Programmatic buying through ONE will be available to Univision clients as early as the fourth quarter of this year.
And while programmatic TV is still rather nascent, it's an opportunity that is slowly being embraced by other media conglomerates. In February, NBC announced it will offer its entire linear portfolio to select programmatic buyers. And in March, Fox Networks said that select ad buyers will be able to buy a portion of its national cable linear ad inventory using Fox's programmatic tools. Magna Global predicts that programmatic TV spend will surpass $10 billion in the US by 2019, up from $2.5 billion in 2015.
Programmatic advertising is set to surge in the coming years, and digital ad stakeholders will have to work hard to moderate the negatives side effects that come with an increased number of automated ad placements.
BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has compiled a detailed report on programmatic advertising that sizes up this market.
Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:
- Advertisers and publishers are rapidly adopting programmatic ad-buying and selling tools. More than four-fifths of agencies and brands already purchase display ads programmatically, while an even greater proportion of publishers are pursuing programmatic channels as part of their sales strategies, according to surveys and our own conversations with industry participants.
- Spending on programmatic advertising is growing quickly, at ~20% annually.
- Real-time bidding is growing even faster than programmatic overall, at a five-year CAGR of 24%. RTB revenue will top over $26 billion by year-end 2020, up from $8.7 billion this year. Mobile RTB and video RTB are growing even faster, at roughly 2X the rate of programmatic overall. (The report has the full growth breakdowns.)
- Media-agency programmatic "trading desks" are being decentralized as programmatic expertise begins to permeate the agency and brand ecosystem. This may speed growth in programmatic spending among agency clients.
- The ballyhooed fusion of native and programmatic advertising may be one step closer, thanks in part to OpenRTB 2.3, a new specification from the IAB that makes automated trading of native advertisements technically feasible. Such efforts could bring scale to native advertising and help unlock brand spend.
- Pricing is following two divergent trends: for premium- and guaranteed placements they are on the upswing, while prices continue to plummet for miscellaneous inventory.
In full, the report:
- Forecasts programmatic and RTB spending by format through 2020.
- Looks at the latest programmatic adoption trends among both publishers and advertisers.
- Explores the emerging trend of "decentralizing" agency-trading desks and native programmatic.
- Outlines the latest news and trends affecting top programmatic-focused companies.
- Analyzes how programmatic and programmatic-premium is impacting digital ad prices.

JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Sunday that Israel would ensure that Iran never obtains nuclear weapons, while also taking credit for keeping Iran from already having them.
Netanyahu has been an open and vocal opponent of the deal with Iran. Speaking at the start of the regular weekly Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said: "Israel's policy has been and will remain exactly what it has been: not to allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons."
He also said that the recent accord would strengthen and embolden Iran's leaders, since the lifting of most sanctions would free up money for Tehran to arm and support the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad, Shia militias and Israel's enemies in the region, including Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
"What is clear is that Iran will now have more resources to dedicate to their terrorism and aggression in the region and in the world, and Israel is prepared to deal with any threat," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu believes, as he said in a statement issued late Saturday, when it became clear that the United Nations would accept Iran's partial dismantling of its nuclear infrastructure in what has been called "implementation day," that "Iran has not relinquished its ambition to obtain nuclear weapons."
Israel, the prime minister said Sunday, would strengthen its defenses, increase its intelligence resources and would "warn of any violation" of the agreement, while urging the United States and the other members of the U.N. Security Council to reimpose harsh sanctions on Iran if violated the deal.
"Without an appropriate response to every violation, Iran will surmise that it can continue to develop nuclear weapons, to destabilize the region and to spread terrorism," he said.
The U.S. is maintaining and even increasing other sanctions on Iran for non-nuclear actions, like support of terrorism and violation of U.N. resolutions on testing of ballistic missiles.
Netanyahu's harsh opposition to the accord and his criticism of President Barack Obama for being naive about Iran — including in a speech to the U.S. Congress last year — infuriated the White House and strained relations with Washington, by far Israel's most important ally.
Yet with the agreement now completed, Netanyahu has spoken less about it in public and Sunday seemed to try to make the best of what he considers a bad deal, saying that Israeli efforts had put a nuclear weapon out of Iran's reach for the time being.
"If it weren't for our efforts leading the way in enforcing the sanctions on Iran's nuclear program, Iran would have had a nuclear weapon long ago," he said.
Yaakov Amidror, a former national security adviser and major general, pointed out that Israel was hardly alone in disliking the Iran nuclear deal, which has also been sharply criticized by Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the Persian Gulf states. "I think in the Middle East most of the countries, most of the leadership do not like this agreement," he told Israel Radio Sunday.
For Israel, he said, "the agreement is an additional factor in the behavior of the state of Israel like any other given that exists in the Middle East."
He said he was not surprised that Iran would live up to the agreement it struck with the United States and other world powers — because it favors Iran. "It is an excellent agreement for Iran and therefore Iran will fulfill it down to the last detail," Amidror said.
"It has to rebuild its economy and enter the circle of international legitimacy because it can make, within this agreement, very great strides forward in the area of missiles and in the areas of nuclear capability. One would have to be a complete idiot not to fulfill this agreement at least in the first five to 10 years."
The main question now for Israel is whether the International Atomic Energy Agency, which will monitor Iran's compliance with the deal, acts in a way "more political or more professional," Amidror said. He also wondered "how much effort American intelligence will make, despite the agreement, to try to find Iranian violations."
For the moment, he said, he had confidence in Israel's developing system of anti-missile defenses, especially the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 systems, which are the country's main defense against any potential Iranian missile strike.
Also Sunday, in a continuing wave of stabbing attacks on Israeli security forces and civilians by Palestinians, a woman was killed in her home in the Israeli settlement of Otniel, south of Hebron, by a Palestinian who fled the scene, the Israeli army said.
Names were not immediately released, and the army was searching nearby Palestinian villages for the attacker.
The murder of the woman is believed to be the first such attack inside a settlement home in the last three months.
Earlier Sunday, a Palestinian who attacked a soldier near Nablus was fatally shot. The soldier suffered minor injuries. And a Palestinian woman was arrested near the settlement of Kiryat Arba carrying a knife, according to Israeli authorities.
Since Oct. 1, 2015, 24 Israelis and 155 Palestinians have been killed, some of the latter shot by Israeli forces during protests and clashes.
Israel Radio identified the dead woman as Dafna Meir, age 38 or 39, a hospital nurse and mother of six, including two foster children. Other news reports said that her three youngest children were at home during the attack but were unharmed. Netanyahu issued a statement, saying: "In the name of all Israelis, I want to embrace and support the family. All of us are hurting and share in your painful grief. We will find the terrorist, and he will pay the full price for this heinous murder."

With the advancement of the technology, people tend to involve in more of the business actions that greatly reduces their personal health. One of the major reasons for such incident is the modified food habits of the people and the modified environmental conditions. These factors do not affect health more directly; however, they become the primary factor that increases the possibilities of the occurrence of several health defects. This is made possible with the changes in the hormonal level of the by tissues, as these hormones control the effective bodily functions any changes in their level would make a drastic change in the health of the people. But with the availability of the modern meditation techniques, one could various treatment methods and the therapies along with new medical products for restoring the normal functions of the body tissues. And mostly these products are also used to improve the effective functioning of the body organs. One of such products would include MK677. It controls the hormonal levels of the growth hormones, Ghrelin, and insulin, etc. It is mainly used by any of the bodybuilding professionals and the athletes as MK677 increases activation of GH that induces increased body muscle mass and strength.
Hormones and the health!
Hormones are the chemical substances that play a major role in controlling the various functions of the body organs. Apart from the physiological functions, these hormones do make a greater impact on the psychological health of the people. So it becomes more necessary to maintain an effective balance in the hormonal levels in the body system. Any deviation from such normal level could result in serious discomfort and health issues among people, so people tend to care more while involving in any of the hormonal intake medicines and the treatment methods.
Why choose MK677?
MK677 is the nickname for the product Nutrobal which is a secret a gogue. They are more popular among the bodybuilders and the athletes who are in need for the effective maintenance of the body weight and an increased muscle mass. MK677 is generally used to improve the muscular gain procedures by means of increasing the level of natural hormones such as the growth hormones in the body. And they function in a way similar to that of the anabolic androgenic steroidal drugs that are available in the market. But one of the major reasons for their increased preference is that they are most likely result in side effects than the conventional anabolic steroids.
This MK677 increases activation of GH by inducing the pituitary gland this, in turn, increases the growth of the muscles and strengthen the bones and also improves the libido. Though there are not the exact replication of the natural growth hormones it regulates its production, and also it also stimulates the secretion of the Ghrelin that is involved in improving the metabolism and the digestion and etc. Thus, with such usages, they are more likely to provide the similar results of the anabolic steroids that replicate the functions of testosterone, but one of the major advantages of the MK677 is that they do not result in any of the negative impacts on the health of people as that of the anabolic steroids.

how the weary find their wings
I see her sitting near the back of the room as she watches the voices swarm around her. A tired sigh breaks from her chest; I can't hear it but I see it tearing through her soul too. Her eyes move back and forth to keep the tears from falling out and stealing her cover; the mask she fights against but also fights for.
And it is this paradox that breeds the insanity she feels pressing hard against everything precious and fragile within her.
I wait for her to catch my eyes, if only for a second. I know the prison bars so well, so closely, so presently — this cage without doors. Somehow we stumble toward proving the words we hate: trapped. forgotten. tired. broken. hidden.
These are the words of the anti-gospel, words that cut and rip and shatter, words that slip in like thieves and reign as tyrants. We have learned the foreign language of the enemy better than the language of our homeland, of our Father, of our hope.
This is why the good news is vital to our every single day and we must learn to speak it well. We need to be grabbing the fragile sisters and brothers sitting in the backdrop and help them find their wings. And out of all the voices screaming for our attention in our music, friendships, textbooks, chit-chat, news feeds, family gatherings and lunch breaks we must be living and breathing the good news that can save caged souls and restore weary hearts.
Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God"?
Sometimes we need to acknowledge that we feel hidden, disregarded, alone. Confession opens the door wide for mercy. And good news was meant to invade bad spaces.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.
We are fragile, failing, anything but everlasting. But He is everlasting and that makes Him a safe place we can trust. He literally spoke blue skies and storm clouds and mountain tops and autumn leaves and snowflakes and galaxies and eyelashes and laughter into existence with His Words. He is Creator, and He can create beauty from desolation, even in our weary hearts. We grow tired, faint, and weary, but He does not. He is never weary of you. He understands us better than we will ever understand ourselves or Him.
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
In your weariness, does God seem tightfisted to you? Listen here, He GIVES. When we have nothing left to give, He gives. He gives power. He increases your strength. "For You equipped me with strength for the battle…" (Psalm 18:39)
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:27-31, ESV)
Not even your early twenties can stand up against exhaustion. We are bound to limitations and only the waiting soul finds the back door out. God gives RENEWAL. Think of it: "to begin again, to restore, to replenish, to revive." All those miracles happen to those who wait for the Lord; not the government, not the doctor, not the next paycheck, not the medicine, not the end of the bottle, not the next child, not a better husband, not a new job, not a new home, not a new electronic device … but those who want RENEWAL wait on the LORD.
No longer on the sidelines, they run forward in joy.
No longer afraid of reaching the end of their rope, they walk in hope.
No longer hidden from the Lord, they are seen.
And the cages break open and their wings are found.

Title: I Thought My Father Was God
Author: edited by Paul Auster
Genre: Non-fiction
Why I liked this book: Everyone has special stories — the ones they tell at parties, the ones they tell to make their friends laugh, the ones that they tell late at night over a bottle of wine. Stories about family, about life, about the little things that are too good to be true, or too horrible to be made up. I Thought My Father Was God is a collection of those true favorite stories of hundreds of Americans, gathered up through NPR's National Story Project.
I've been listening to these stories using the Audible.com audiobook, which is read by Auster himself. He has a lovely reading voice, and a strong sense of character, tone, and pacing, which makes it an easy book to listen to. But the content of some of the stories make it hard, as well. I've been moved to laugh out loud (on an airplane, prompting some funny looks…), smile in recognition, and suddenly begin crying, all from the stories in this collection. They showcase some of the best, the worst, the funniest, the most touching, and the most unbelievable of the things that happen to real people living real lives.
Read it. It'll make you grin, it'll make you grimace, and it'll drag you in and not let go.

2019 Chevrolet Cruze RS Review – The Chevrolet Cruze RS is a front-drive compact car that's available as a sedan or a hatchback. In Chevrolet's car lineup, the Chevrolet Cruze RS slots below the midsize Malibu and above the subcompact Sonic and Spark.

The initial generation Chevrolet Cruze RS got the sort typically from handsome great looks a decent number of in the compact sedan portion could great primarily dream about when it comes to 2011, however, time has allowed individuals aggressive types to remember to brush up alone designs.

I haven't been to the South of France in over ten years and this needs to change. Le Mas des Poiriers is an 18th century farm house turned luxury hotel in Provence. Located near the magical Medieval city of Avignon (I saw a ballet there once inside the Palais des Papes!), the property consists of 65 acres of pear orchard and sunflowers. Newly renovated, the property now boasts nine bedrooms, a tennis court, and swimming pool. The gorgeous rooms were decorated in a classic French country style by designer Susan Bednar Long using all Pierre Frey fabrics (talk about the dream!). Below, explore more of the secluded French escape.
