Ms Proper – Wicked
Rising from the underbelly of Virginia's dystopian suburbia, Ms Proper experiments with a unique synthesis of sweet talking R&B and filthy mouthed Trap, all at once spouting melodic insults and adlibs of forgiveness in her signature, tender vengeance. Reflected in the blend of fierce low end production and smooth chords from collaborator LA Chase, her song 'Wicked' is a slow wind of whispered secrets. This month she drops her latest project 'The Aquarius Tape' that addresses everything from old lovers across the spectrum of the zodiac to her moving to Los Angeles with nothing but $5 in her pocket and a ruthless dedication to her pursue her dreams.
Jadu Heart – Purity
Shrouded in mystery, London based duo Jadu Heart first introduced themselves with 'Wanderflower', their magical debut EP which was then followed up by the equally impressive and 'Ezra's Garden'. In the lead up to their long-awaited debut album, Dina and Faro have now shared 'Purity', another dazzling affair which sees the pairs soothing and soulful vocals work through a spirited electronic soundbed.
Zed Yun Pavarotti – Septembre
French artist Zed Yun Pavorotti's 'Septembre' tells the story of a child-adult or an adult-child. It's a succession of images related to childhood, a confused speech that, by its confusion, tends to show the violence that falls free on a child when he must kill himself to renounce his innocence. Zed Yun Pavorotti delivers a number tinged with melancholy and depressive emotions with the abstract nature of his music adding to its mysticism. While trying to dive into the mind of the rapper from Saint-Etienne, the audience discovers the world of a big child, somewhere between reality and fiction, between concrete and stars.
ZSELA – Noise
Every now and then a voice comes along that simply takes your breath away – that's exactly the case with Brooklyn based singer-songwriter ZSELA and her sensational debut single 'Noise'. Carried by its simple yet heavenly instrumentation courtesy of Daniel Aged from inc. no world, unsurprisingly, it's ZSELA's gorgeously smooth and haunting vocals that steal the show here. Utterly enchanting and comforting, 'Noise' is a stunner that soothes your soul from start to finish.
The Theory For Our Revenge – 朧(OBORO)
The Theory For Our Revenge is the artistic project of Japanese fashion stylists, producers and visual artists: COLD FAITH and JHas. Last month, the duo unleashed their breathtaking debut single '朧(OBORO)', an electronic number that'll have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. From its cryptic lyrics to the equally mesmerising and unsettling production, '朧(OBORO)' is a sonic powerhouse that serves as a wonderful introduction to the pair's musical output.
Sid Sriram – Entropy
Chennai-born, Bay Area-based singer, songwriter and producer Sid Sriram's music oscillates between progressive R&B and soul with classical Indian (Carnatic) influences. His long-awaited debut album 'Entropy', which features previously released single 'It Isn't True' and '6 weeks', is packed with gems that exhibit Sriram's poetic songwriting, heartwarming voice and magnificent production.
Peppered with moments of spoken word magic, 'Entropy' depicts stories of love, family, identity, loss and heartbreak in a way that's both refreshing and powerful. From having his 'Eyes Open' in the first track to seeing 'Limitless' in the closer, Sriram brings 'Entropy' full circle, leaving the listener content and enlightened.
Kean Kavanagh – miracle
Consider yourself introduced to Irish singer-songwriter and producer Kean Kavanagh, whose sparkling new single 'miracle' is an extremely vibrant and atmospheric affair. A magical blend of R&B infused with gritty electronic punches, the track is driven by lush guitar lines and a stellar bass-heavy beat which bounces its way into your heart. Kavanagh's distorted vocals inhibit a dreamy and hazy aesthetic to mirror the song's free-flowing vibe.
Josué – High
Chi Virgo – Thinking
Dip into the lush soundscapes of 'Thinking', the irresistible debut single from newcomer Chi Virgo. The London based singer-songwriter lays down her stellar vocals over a dazzling array of vibrant sounds that mould the worlds of soul, R&B and electronic music. Opening with the jabs of those sci-fi synths, it's Chi Virgo's silky smooth vocals that steal the show on the incredibly catchy and infectious track.
404 – Fearful
London outfit 404 are made up of Bathwater, Silvertongue, Eliot, Devenny and Sonny, and their debut single 'Fearful' is a blistering affair. A sharp commentary on modern society, the track boasts a fierce and energetic vibe whilst encompassing a raw edge through its songwriting and production. Serving as a perfect introduction to the quintet's unique sound, 'Fearful' marks the first single from their forthcoming debut EP which is out next month.
Ateyaba – Lgbiri

unperfect – Gots To Give The Girl
Consider yourself introduced to unperfect, a brand new group from the U.K. whose debut single 'Gots To Give The Girl' is a delightfully impressive affair. Comprising of Chloe, Siobhan, Soipan and Tiah, the group encompass a refreshing take on classic R&B nuances with a modern edge. The sun-kissed and groove-inflected production serves as the perfect backbone to the instantly infectious track which wonderfully showcases each member's uniquely smooth and intoxicating voices.
Branko & Sango – Hear From You (feat. Cosima)
With his forthcoming studio album 'Nosso' just around the corner, Portugal based producer Branko has shared 'Hear From You', a collaboration with Sango, the Soulection-affiliated Seattle producer and London songstress Cosima. The single follows up last year's equally enthralling cuts 'Stand By' (feat. Umi Copper) and 'Over There' (feat. Miles From Kinshasa). Branko and Sango combine forces on the production which bursts with hand-claps, subtle blips and jarring synths whilst Cosima's richly textured vocals are smothered on top.
Altoparlante – Ando Chilango
Altoparlante is a music project formed by Adrián Rentería and Ernesto Natarén that originates from Mexico City. Founded in 2017, the duo's sound is mainly composed of Latin rhythms and harmonies fused with electronic intonations. Ernesto, who studied percussion in Cuba, is in charge of the melodic and rhythmic aspect of the music, contributing the "organic" element, while Adrián, an audio engineering enthusiast, takes charge of the electronic and technical side of the project.
Influences range from the funk of James Brown, through traditional Cuban music, to electronic music in general. The musical constant in the songs is the use of Latin percussive instruments (conga, yembé, batá, timbaes), metal section (saxophone and trumpet) and analogue synthesizers to create the harmonies. All of which can be heard in their latest single, the smooth and groove-inflected 'Ando Chilango'.

Throughout the record Supa exchanges roles with Lou Fresco, his alter ego, who incarnates the role of the protagonist, director and writer of this masterpiece. Film, photography, design and art direction are some of the creative fields that Morales had to explore to faithfully reflect his thoughts and feelings about his career, travel and experiences in 'SERIO'.
Dua Saleh – Nūr
Minneapolis based multidisciplinary performing artist Dua Saleh showcases her unique and eclectic sound on debut EP 'Nūr' which is executive produced by Psymun. The five track project boasts the newcomer's poetic wordplay, intriguing flow and subtly smooth voice over bold and captivating soundscapes.

Practising powerful versatility, she bangs out unconventional bars and in the next breath, breaks to belt out a classic bridge. Lizzo is responsible for lyrical revolutions in the modern rap world that most might first recognise from groups like Grrrl Party, but she's since set a steadily burning fire under her own "Big Grrrl Small World" solo career. She spans genres, styles and aesthetic personas from funk infused battle raps to pop inspired ballads and soulful glam slams like her latest single, 'Juice'.

READER LETTER: Diss Express provides a forum for freedom of speech for all
How very worrying that there may be other people like Mr Griffiths of Palgrave (Diss Express, Letters, July 7) who seems to think that only views with which he agrees should be expressed in a local newspaper.
Freedom of speech is one of the fundamental cornerstones of democracy, which, of course, is not the case under a Marxist regime such as he appears to favour.
Fortunately, we are not yet governed by North Korea's Kim Jong-un or even Islington's comrade Corbyn.
Long may we be able to publicly declare our outrage and disagree with each other without fear of recrimination by the State, Mr Griffiths, and long may the Diss Express be free to provide a forum in which to do so.
Local newspapers should not be just about fetes, flower shows and football.

In her bid to medically educate staff of NNPC Lagos on topical health issues especially as it pertains to our daily working life, the medical sevices through the activities of the Occupational unit of the Field Clinics, conducts Health Education and Promotional activities at least once every quarter. In this edition, we have chosen a topic that reflects the mood of the majority of people in the current realities of economic meltdown, job insecurity, restructuring and reforms imminent in the oil and gas industry namely: Depression.
It was a time of sober reflections as we examined the different dimensions through which the current socioeconomic stress can drive staff out of control. We also explored and suggested ways and means of improving our coping skills because as we all agreed at the end of each session, DEPREESION no matter the severity it comes, has become unavoidable in our situation.
In psychology, a mood or emotional state that is marked by sadness, inactivity, and a reduced ability to enjoy life.
A person who is depressed usually experiences one or more of the following symptoms: feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or pessimism; lowered self-esteem and heightened self-depreciation; a decrease or loss of ability to enjoy daily life; reduced energy and vitality etc.Depression differs from simple grief, bereavement, or mourning, which are appropriate emotional responses to the loss of loved persons or objects. When a person experiences alternating states of depression and mania (extreme elation of mood), he is said to suffer from a manic-depressive psychosis (q.v.).
Depression is probably the most common psychiatric complaint and has been described by physicians from at least the time of Hippocrates, who called it melancholia. The course of the disorder is extremely variable from person to person; it may be fleeting or permanent, mild or severe, acute or chronic. Depression is more common in women than in men. The rates of incidence of the disorder increase with age in men, while the peak for women is between the ages of 35 and 45.
There are three main treatments for depression. The two most important are psychotherapy and drug therapy. Psychotherapy aims to resolve any underlying psychic conflicts that may be causing the depressed state, while also giving emotional support to the patient. Antidepressant drugs, by contrast, directly affect the chemistry of the brain, and presumably achieve their therapeutic effects by correcting the chemical imbalance that is causing the depression. The tricyclic antidepressant drugs are thought to work by inhibiting the body's physiological inactivation of the monoamine neurotransmitters.
This results in the build up or accumulation of these neurotransmitters in the brain and allows them to remain in contact with nerve cell receptors there longer, thus helping to elevate the patient's mood.
In this age of major downswing in the business cycles DEPRESSION is an unavoidable outcome. However

Coming Fall 2010
"I like to earn my turns in the backcountry mountains around the world. This was a line filmed for Deeper. It was a first descent for a snowboarder, no one had ever done it before. The approach to get up there took me 5+ hours of hiking and splitboarding. Your going to have to wait and see the footage in Deeper, but meanwhile heres a couple first hand photos to keep you stoked. Enjoy!
Signature line - Photo by Zach Clanton
Halfway through The Firing Squad - Photo by Zach Clanton
This spring in Utah I was committed to checking out an area rumored to have some fun pillows. On a down day, I had Neil Provo meet me for a mellow mission to head up and explore. The pillows ended up being too low in elevation so we kept going not knowing what we would end up finding. We got to where the trail ended and had to turn back due to a late start. I did take a photo of this line that ran all the way from the top through a extremely spicy diagonal ramp that ended in an apron. I couldn't get it out of my mind and I immediately put it to the top of my hit list (conditions permitting). Jump forward to a 5:30 am start – it was a solo mission, I was determined to complete the objective. With 2 ice axes and crampons I made my way up, tackling a scree field with loose rock near the top. Go time. Completely focused my mind turned off. It was me and the mountain. Coming into the diagonal ramp there was no room for error. Ice axe in hand I made it through the crux. Riding out the bottom, the stars aligned, I was thrilled that the line came together. When you're splitboarding the connection to the mountains is like no other.
Its amazing the gratification you get from splitboarding and hiking. When your out there off the beaten path you become more in tune with the environment. It allows you to bring it back to the basics, there's a deeper connection to mountains. For me, health starts here with Sambazon açaí."

SSWUG "Ultimate" Virtual Conference
As those of you (1 or 2) that read this blog know, I've been pretty involved with the SSWUG Virtual conferences. I am the conference chair for the SharePoint virtual conference. and am delivering 3 sessions for the SQL and the BI conferences as well.
So you may wonder why I'm writing about this yet again........
Well, the folks over at SSWUG have decided to combine the 4 Virtual Conferences into a single, "Ultimate" conference.
Here is an excerpt from their press release:
Tucson, AZ, September 16, 2008: November 5, 6 and 7, 2008, SSWUG.ORG is presenting a comprehensive learning event for SQL Server, Business Intelligence, SharePoint and .NET Development technologies, at www.vConferenceOnline.com. The online event will present sessions in 12 simultaneous tracks from 40 different industry-recognized presenters. The conference, presented entirely online with broadcast-quality sessions and classes, includes full video of the presenters, downloadable session materials, transcripts and much more. In addition, attendees are not required to travel, instead being able to attend the conference from the comfort of their office or home. "We're excited to present this fall conference suite – in the June conference, according to our attendees, combined, they saved more than $2,500,000 in travel and conference expenses alone," says Stephen Wynkoop, Editor and Founder for SSWUG.ORG. "This, combined with the amazing array of presenters, the decreased time away from the office and the complete learning environment provided by the vConferenceOnline tools means our attendees and exhibitors get an excellent, meaningful online event never before possible." SSWUG.ORG is combining four different conference disciplines in the comprehensive conference schedule. Attendees will be able to pick from Business Intelligence, SQL Server, SharePoint and .NET Developer technologies, all running concurrently. In addition, attendees are able to view sessions and download transcripts, scripts, examples and tutorials on-demand following the event.
Chris Shaw, Director of Virtual Conferences, outlines some of the concepts being addressed with the conferences: "We're really looking to create an amazing community event. We want to make sure attendees are able to gain real-world insights into the technologies they use and support. They'll also experience a wide array of technologies and, at the same time, they are able to come back, review sessions and pick up those finer points that may have been missed in sessions when they first are attended. The fact that you can review sessions on-demand after the original schedule means you won't miss a single tip, and you can broaden your skill set by attending sessions from other disciplines," said Shaw. "Our speakers are well-known book authors, Microsoft MVPs and recognized industry experts. Never before has such an incredible gathering of speakers been presented in an event like this, assuring that the information to be gained is top-notch and rock solid." The virtual conference also means people are more environmentally conscious, and at the same time learning in ways simply not possible at traditional conferences. From full transcripts to on-demand materials, real-time chats with speakers and networking with other attendees and vendors, attendees and exhibitors both win. "The focus is on learning, networking, tips, tricks and techniques that you can put to use the minute you've finished with a session. More than 91% of our attendees say they can use what they've learned immediately in their jobs. Combine this learning with the eco-friendly online approach, the complete elimination of travel expenses for attendees, the interaction and learning tools provided, the expert speakers – you have a way to vastly increase your knowledge without breaking the bank or expending significant out of office time," Shaw said.

Moxie Girlz™ make a splash this rainy season
The Moxie Girlz™ are having fun splashing in the rain this showery season in the new Moxie Girlz™ Raincoat Colour Splash doll range.
Each doll is dressed ready for a rainy day, with their fashionable raincoat, cute wellington boots and colourful umbrellas. Children will also have hours of creative fun using the included colourful marker to customise the doll's raincoats. You can use the pen to create fun new individual designs and then the creations can be washed away with water and created all over again.
The Moxie Girlz™ aims to encourage girls to reach for their dreams and embrace their individuality through self-expression, friendships and fashion. Every girl has the strength to do something amazing. Anything is possible as long as you stay true to yourself and never give up on your dreams.Dolls available in the range include Sophina, Avery and Bryten. Moxie Girlz™ Raincoat Splash dolls are suitable for ages three plus, priced at around £14.99 and available from all good toy retailers nationwide.
Moxie Girlz Raincolour Splash was very popular with my 6 year old daughter Amelie!
She couldn't wait to get the box open. Unfortunately she didn't have very much time to play with her doll this morning as she was running late for school. She still managed to create some funky designs on the Raincoat with the special pen provided.
Amelie loves the wellie boots on this doll, she loves removing them and putting them back on and placing the umbrella in the dolls hand.
Our moxie girl is called Bryten. The girls both enjoyed created their own designs on Bryten's jacket. The ink is easily washed off so the children can create as many different designs as they wish! Today the girls have been playing with Bryten and the other Moxie Girlz they already had. These dolls make fantastic fun for real "girly girls" ecspecially if you have a few of them.
The Moxie girlz dolls are bright, colourful and ofcourse always very stylish! They are made very well and we haven't experienced any broken arms or legs yet even through they have been well played with!
Check out the Moxie Girlz range from MGA

This article will look at four questions: Why are the names Allah and Jehovah beginning to be used interchangeably by some Christians in this country? Why are those two deities not the same God at all? Why does it matter? What can be done? Footnotes are provided at the end to document the argument and conclusions on this vital distinction.
Many Arab Christians in America are now referring to Jehovah, the God of the Bible, as "Allah." Using the same name for different gods serves the objectives of the interfaith movement which is focused on political correctness and the unity of a one world religion. This lapse in linguistic rigor has helped contribute to the fact that 40% of evangelical Christians now believe that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. (1)
A partial Arabic translation of the Bible, for liturgical purposes, is often traced back to the 8th century A.D.(2) (after Mohammed established the regional presence of Islam) but no definite evidence exists on the date of those liturgical verse translations. The entire Bible was not translated into Arabic until the 19th century by British missionaries to complete the few verses that had been translated into Arabic for liturgical purposes earlier. (3)
We know that post-Islamic missionaries (from Great Britain, etc.) came to the Middle East after Arabic Bible translations were completed but they were reluctant to evangelize under the name of Jehovah because they feared Islamic reprisal due to Mohammed's history of violence and conquest. (4) British missionaries came to the Middle East when Muslims ruled the land. They had to appease the political rulers and used the name "Allah" in an attempt to avoid violence. The Christian Arabs typically used "al-Rub" not "Allah" before that time. (5)
It's important to understand that the name of Allah originated in polytheism and long before Islam ever arose. Mohammed was born in 570 and began preaching about his new religion of Islam (with Allah as its god) around 610. He gained 150 converts in his first 13 years of evangelism in Mecca and then went to Medina where he pursued physical, or combat, jihad while acquiring 100,000 converts up until his death in 632 A.D. using the name of Allah. (6) However, the god name Allah had existed several centuries before Mohammed co-opted it as the god of Islam. Allah was a truncated form of Al-Ilah, one of the 360 pagan deities worshipped by the nomadic pagan and polytheistic Arabs at the Kaaba in Mecca before, during, and after the time of Christ. (7) Mohammed's father was also named Abdullah (meaning "slave of Allah".) A tribe of Jews was called Abdullah bin Salam in the Bukhari Hadith. (8)
The Christian church exploded in growth in the first century A.D. Christian missionaries came through the Middle East/Africa regions in the late 2nd century and, in an effort to evangelize the polytheistic Arabs, sought a way to get these Arabs to understand the one true God of Jehovah. The missionaries may have used the name "Al-Ilah" (understood by the polytheistic Arabs as the one god higher than the other 359) in an effort to evangelize the Arabs at that time. Although we do not have archaeological, manuscript, inscription, mural, sermon, theological writings, or similar evidence of Christian missionaries using Al-Ilah as a reference to Jehovah in pre-Islamic history, many speculate that Arab Christians in pre-Islamic history used Allah as a reference to Jehovah. (9) If true, Christian missionaries, through lack of discernment, might have used Al-Ilah, a god that the polytheistic Arabs were familiar with as being the supreme god of the 360 gods worshipped by polytheistic Arabs at Mecca and throughout the region as an evangelical tool.
As Arabs converted to Christianity, some may have referred to Jehovah as Allah while the pagan Arabs referred to Allah as one of the 360 gods worshipped by the polytheistic Arab community. This concession to naming expediency on the part of Christian missionaries to reach polytheistic Arabs may have started the problem that we find today with two groups (Arab Christians and Muslims) using the same name of Allah to refer to two different gods. Al-Ilah was shortened to Allah. The problem is that the missionaries may have conflated two gods into one name in their zeal for evangelism. Some of these early Arab converts, e.g., Ghassanids, Lakhmids, Banu Judham, and Hamadan, etc. may have begun calling Jehovah "Allah" post 300 A.D., and 300 years before Mohammed created the Islamic "Allah." Mohammed used "Allah" as the means to bring Arabs out of polytheism and into Islam. The Jews and Christians of that time rejected his teaching as false (they were also familiar with the Al-Ilah becoming Allah) and Mohammed ultimately became a physical jihadist to compel conversion. Forced conversions to Islam (and Allah) continue to this very day. Unlike Islam, Christianity (as taught from the Bible) does not condone forced conversions. These are two very different religions with two very different gods. It makes no logical or theological sense to have these two different gods share the same name.
Here's why this matters so much: The contemporary problem is that some places (Mauritania) still use Allah as a reference to Jehovah while others (Mali) culturally reject that notion. (10) Riots erupted in Malaysia when some Christians used the name Allah to refer to Jehovah. (11) This is now becoming a problem in the United States as Arab Christians, among others, come to America and call Jehovah "Allah." Our culture, unfamiliar with this history, is ill equipped to reconcile this naming aberration. Consequently, we are seeing Christians say that they worship the same God as Islam. Sadly, this may have started with over-zealous Christian missionaries in the 2nd and 3rd centuries who chose a naming expediency in their efforts to lead polytheists into monotheism.
There is ambiguity among Muslims with respect to the Allah naming convention because Allah is the name of their God, and it, through colloquial use, is becoming a generic name for God. However, this contradiction confounds the Muslim when encountering other religions such as Hinduism, a polytheistic religion of 900 million adherents. (12) "When asked, does Hinduism have thousands of Allahs, Muslims say no, because there is just one Allah. The Muslim response is that Hindus worship idols." (13)
The lack of discernment in pre-Islamic evangelism and the lack of courage in post-Islamic evangelism on the part of Christian missionaries has corrupted the use of Allah as a name for Jehovah. Further, there is an interfaith effort (of questionable theological origins) called Chrislam that seeks to bring these two disparate faiths together. This constitutes heresy as Islam rejects Jesus as God and Savior while Christianity rejects the Allah of Islam as a means to salvation outside of Jesus Christ.
The Allah of Islam has 99 names, only one of which includes love, the primary character attribute of Jehovah, God of the Bible. (14) An extreme example illustrates the point of having one name for two different persons. Imagine naming a child Adolf Hitler in a remote tribal region yet when he grows up to be an international businessman, he finds social outrage when conducting business in the West. Those familiar with the German tyrant would see this as a horrendous offense to society while those who were ignorant of who Hitler was would be indifferent to such a naming convention. This, in an overly dramatic way, resembles the challenge to Christians who neither understand the origins of the name Allah in polytheistic Arab culture nor the co-option of the name Allah by Mohammed in promoting Islam.
What then can be done? The failure of discernment on the part of pre-Islamic Christian missionaries in the Middle East and the lack of courage (or fidelity to truth) on the part of post-Islamic Christian missionaries in the Middle East has contributed to the current problem of one name (Allah) being used to represent two different gods. American Christians today should be understanding of the global cultural confusion regarding the use of Allah for Jehovah but discourage the use of Allah for Jehovah by Arab Christians, and others, in the United States.
These two monotheistic faiths make separate and conflicting truth claims regarding salvation for eternity. Those that use the same name for the different gods of these two faiths serve the interests of ignorance, deception, or error. Discerning Christians and Muslims already acknowledge the differences in faith, the differences in the gods they serve, and the differences in the names of those gods. It is now the task for followers of each respective faith to preserve those differences in the public arena without succumbing to the political correctness of the interfaith movement while retaining a civil discourse and respecting the sincerity of each others faith.
Accepting the same name for two different gods as part of "political correctness" accelerates the onset of Chrislam efforts, increases the likelihood of apostasy, ignores the historical truth, and denies the reality of the two largest religions asserting competing truth claims. It appears that Martin Luther, founder of the Protestant Reformation, was prophetic when he said "It is better to be divided by truth than united in error."

Goals-based investing, a relatively new investment method or wealth management technique offers a impactful tool to help cover clients against market fear and risk by better understanding and managing preferences, prejudices and behaviours that would determine their financial performance.
By guiding clients to put money in accordance to their special needs, desires and time periods in a way that gives them confidence to go beyond occasional market disturbance, financial analysts can help them differentiate from the commons and improve their own chances for long-term growth.
Instead of focusing only on investment management and performance, goals-based investing is focussed around the investor him/herself. The effectiveness of an investment strategy is not compared only by traditional metrics like market indexes, variances and standard deviation. Certain specific and concrete targets mean a lot to clients, and that is what distinguishes successful advisor's approach from others. Investment strategies are tailor-made according to each client's personal ambition. Results are analysed by the client's progress toward reaching each stated targets. Moreover, risk is defined as failure to completely achieve all those goals. Goals-based investing also understands that investors may have more than one and often goals which may be conflicting. Instead of pooling all the assets of the client into one single portfolio, a different portfolio "purse" is created for each target. A client may want to plan for increasing assets at the time of retirement, or save for a holiday home, do something big for heirs, or wants to achieve any other number of targets, an investment strategy can be specially customized to each goal.
The chart above provides an illustration of how a goals-based investment methodology helps clients put their financial priorities in order based on needs versus wants, and the time period for each goal.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Goal-Based Investing along with its overview.

"When you quit doing the wrong things, you make more room for the things that make you happy. So starting today…
1. Quit procrastinating on your goals.
Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it. Action and change are often resisted when they're needed most. Get a hold of yourself and have discipline. Putting something off instantly makes it harder and scarier. What we don't start today won't be finished by tomorrow. And there's nothing more stressful than the perpetual lingering of an unfinished task.
The secret to getting ahead is simply getting started. Starting, all by itself, is usually sufficient to build enough momentum to keep the ball rolling. So forget about the finish line and just concentrate on taking your first step. Say to yourself, "I choose to start this task with a small, imperfect step." All those small steps will add up and you'll actually get to see changes fairly quickly."

RAMBLE: Wednesday -v- Middlesbrough
After a positive albeit unconvincing result in the 2nd round of the Capital One Cup against Oxford United in the week, it was back to the bread and butter of the Sky Bet Championship with Middlesbrough the visitors to S6.
First and foremost, a quick mention to our opponents in the 3rd round, Newcastle United. Personally, I'm looking forward to it and returning to St James' Park 6 years since our last visit (a 1-0 defeat.) Dare I say it's winnable?
They have Chelsea at home the following weekend so could that turn out to be a factor in how they approach the game? Either way, it's a fantastic opportunity to pit ourselves against Premier League opposition that's not Manchester City at the Etihad!
Middlesbrough also progressed in the League Cup with a 2-1 success at Burton Albion having been pushed to extra time. They'll play Wolves at home in the next round.
Secondly, we announced the signing of centre back Michael Turner from Norwich City on a season-long loan on Thursday. He was out of favour at the Canaries and spent the back end of last season on loan with Fulham. A very solid centre back on paper and could prove to be a great partnership with Tom Lees. Time will tell.
Middlesbrough have started the season identically to us: 1 win, 2 draws, 1 defeat and 2 cup wins.
En route to the match, I wasn't feeling confident. Looking at our recent performances, it's a cause for concern. A lousy 1 shot on target against Reading in a game where we deserved nothing, a positive result at Leeds but could've been worse and Oxford, we weren't spectacular by any means but we got the job done which was important.
Having said all that, there was a bit of hope in me given our recent results against the team from Teesside. The Owls have won 4 of the last 5 meetings (including the last 3) and 6 of the last 7 at Hillsborough (again, including the last 3.) Not to mention the ever-critical Dave himself opened the scoring in each of those previous 3 games.
It was always going to be a tricky task given the quality of Boro's squad and with them coming within a whisker to promotion via the play offs last season, they'll want to go one step better this time around.
Waking up to the news on Twitter that Daniel Pudil had signed on a season-long loan from Watford put a smile on my face. Another good signing made. That's 5 loanees we now have. Speaking to Watford fans on Twitter, they rate him highly and someone who gives 100%. We can only hope he puts in the same effort for the blue and white of Wednesday.
It was around 2:15 and after grabbing a bite to eat from Norwood Fish Bar on Herries Road (if you haven't been, I advise you to do so. You won't regret it), the line-ups were in. For the record, I had a chip butty and it wasn't greasy if you were wondering. I'm not that kind of person, trust me on that.
SWFC: Price; Hunt, Lees, Sasso, Wiggins; Hutchinson, Lopez, Lee; Wallace, Joao, Matias.
Middlesbrough: Konstantopoulos, Nsue, Ayala, Gibson, Friend; Clayton, Leadbitter; Downing Fabbrini, Reach; Kike.
It was a predictable line up. With Turner (who was on the bench) just arriving and with Sasso playing well, it would've been wrong to throw him straight in at the deep end. Hutchinson starting again made me worried given his injury record. Seeing Joao back was pleasing to see. Middlesbrough also lined up very strong.
It was 2:45. After collecting a match day programme and purchasing a 50-50 half time draw ticket (just to try my luck), it was time to enter the ground. I could already smell that match atmosphere.
Hearing whispers that Fernando Forestieri was going to be present at the game were pleasing. Moments before kick-off, he was confirmed as a Wednesday player on a 4 year contract. We're showing a statement of intent. I, for one, am very excited to see him play, after he's been unplayable when featured against us in previous seasons.
Mr Chansiri has invested heavily in the squad and deserves a huge amount of credit for that and I don't think we're finished yet. We're still after that goal scoring striker who knows where the net is. Maybe Gary Hooper is next through the door?
It's such a contrast from previous years, when we could be virtually certain that not much would happen. Now, we can feel genuine hope that we'll be getting quality players in.
With that news getting me in the mood for the match, the players were out and ready for action.
The first thing I noticed was, the band were absent due to the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final at Wembley. I know people hate the band but to be fair, when they're not there e.g. today, there is no atmosphere and I think there was evidence of that in patches.
The game started in good fashion with Joao getting a shot away only for it to be blocked behind for a corner which came to nothing.
Boro got back into the game after that and looked lively. We were unsettled at the back, mainly down to the inexperience of Sasso. I like him as a player but he does look shaky at times and can be a worry.
A quarter of an hour gone and the predictable happened… Hutch went down injured. After a horror pass, Sasso commits a foul which resulted in a free kick on the edge of the box. I feel for Hutch as he's a quality player but we have been playing too many games with him in the side.
The lad should've been wrapped in cotton wool and saved for future games. The free kick taken by Stewart Downing hit the wall and the follow up went high and wide into the Kop.
Minutes later, a cross into the box by Clayton found Ayala's head and Price acrobatically tipped it over. Price hasn't done anything wrong thus far; maybe he's not a bad replacement for Westwood after all?
Hutch was struggling with his injury and was subsequently taken off with Jose Semedo replacing him. I, and people around me, thought it was the wrong move. We all expected McGugan to come on and make an impact with Lee dropping deeper into the DM role. I felt like we needed that attacking midfielder who would get the ball and make something happen. Semedo doesn't offer that, he's more of a "play it safe" kind of player.
As the game went on, we were getting bossed in midfield and conceding possession far too easily. There were too many bodies in the middle of the park for Boro which made it difficult for us to play through the middle. Matias and Wallace hadn't really got going either.
26 gone and Ben Gibson went into the book for a late challenge on Joao. Inevitably, fans were calling for the red card but only a yellow was issued. Correct decision.
Our only effort of note came on the half-hour mark with Joao scuffing a weak shot straight at the goalkeeper Dimi, shortened for his first name Dimitrios. Joao has a lot of energy for someone so young; he was determined to make chances for himself. We have a good player on our hands; we just need to look after him in the right way and nurture him.
Boro were significantly on top and carved another opening not long after that when Downing picked out Adam Reach and Price was there again, this time saving with his legs.
It was only a matter of time before Boro would take one of their chances… On 42, a corner from Leadbitter wasn't cleared and found Reach unmarked in the box to fire home. It was coming but I couldn't help but feel it was avoidable. Sloppy defending from Wednesday.
Middlesbrough had confidence and smelt blood. Literally 60 seconds later, Reach was in on net again. A rare mistake from Tom Lees involving a mix-up between himself and Price presented an opportunity only for the danger to be dealt with. By this point, I was thinking how many we'd concede. We weren't offering much going forward but that was down to how Boro set up in midfield.
Wallace sent a free kick 30 yards out wide of the Leppings Lane goal which was the last action of the first half.
I was relieved and happy it was only 1-0. It could and possibly should have been 2 or 3; I wouldn't have had any complaints either. A very poor first half it must be said and a dominant one by Boro. We weren't at the races and put ourselves under a lot of pressure. Only a change of system could give us an opportunity of getting something…
A half time sub was made with Nuhiu coming on for Wallace; Dave loves a goal against Boro. We were going 4-4-2! I agree with Tom who mentioned it in the Oxford ramble that Wallace is just like Maguire but he offers more of a danger from a set play and he can deliver a ball into the box on his day. Barring a goal at Ipswich, his performances so far haven't been particularly impressive.
And no, I didn't win the half time raffle. I'm sure you were all dying to know that.
I was hoping that Carlos and Bully got into the players faces during the interval and it looked like they did. We started the half with a bit of energy. Alex Lopez sent an effort just wide of the goal. Moments later, Lopez took a free kick 25 yards from goal and Dimi pushed it away.
To all the Nuhiu-haters, he changed the game from our perspective. Don't think anyone who was at the match could slate his performance. He brought the midfielders into play, mainly Matias who was anonymous first half. I'm not Dave's biggest fan and I appreciate the effort he puts in but is that really enough? It's certainly open to debate.
By the hour mark, we were attacking with a real purpose and looked the more likely to score. By this point, Boro made a change with David Nugent replacing Kike.
Shortly after, we win a free kick on halfway and Diego Fabbrini, Boro's 31, seemed to have elbowed Jack Hunt. I missed the incident in live play and having seen a replay, it was a clear elbow. Referee didn't give anything, surprise surprise. Cue the chant of "We always get sh1t refs."
A few minutes later on 64, the ball set up nicely for Matias on the end of the box from a poorly-cleared Hunt cross. He fired a shot which took a huge deflection and looped over Dimi into the Kop net.
3 sides of Hillsborough were rocking. It's just what we needed after the start to the 2nd half. The momentum was with us and we won a corner almost straight from kick-off.
The corner came to nothing and Boro broke away. Nugent released Fabbrini, another player on loan from Watford, down the left with only Price to beat and shot across goal into the bottom right-hand corner. A classic counter-attack.
We committed too many men forward for the corner. I think we got a bit too carried away.
A swift reply from Boro who could've been rocked by our equaliser.
I was gutted. So naïve from our point of view. I think if Boro hadn't scored so soon after us equalising, we wouldn't have lost.
Hillsborough went silent. From the ecstasy of an equaliser to despair of going behind within minutes. That's football in a nutshell.
You could tell that we were badly affected to going behind again. Players' heads dropped and we were back to square one. We attempted for an equaliser but didn't really creating anything meaningful. The only effort worth mentioning is when Tom Lees headed wide from a corner on 79. At this point, Sougou was on for Lopez.
I was shocked and surprised at the amount of booing – it's just selfish and does nothing to help the team! People who pay the money to go to matches have a right to an opinion of course but booing the players will do the players confidence no good whatsoever.
Boro were in control and always looked a threat on the break. They were rewarded with 4 minutes to go. Again, we had too many men forward and Nugent, who was a real handful since coming on, was again the provider with sub and new signing Christian Stuani smashing it in from the right hand side of the penalty area into the far corner. Given our second half performance, it was a bitter pill to swallow.
This was greeted by thousands of fans heading for the exits.
It was mentioned in the Leeds Ramble last week and I can't help but agree that left back is our weakest point. I know it's only been a few games but Wiggins fills me with no confidence whatsoever. I haven't been impressed by him. Hopefully Pudil changes that.
It could've been 4-1 in stoppage time but sub Adam Forshaw's header was palmed away by Price and onto the post.
And that was that.
The full time whistle went to boos from the Wednesday fans, which was expected.
A summary of the game and my thoughts on the match:
First half we were very poor and lucky to be 1-0 down. Second half, we went 4-4-2 and we were a lot better. I've been saying it after the last few games that 1 up front isn't working, particularly at home. We also need to up the tempo more. We missed McGugan in the middle; he would've given us that attacking impetus. Yes, he's just become a Dad but the point stands.
Kieran Lee gets my MOTM, best player on the pitch (for us at least).
Apart from the first 20 minutes in the second half, we were completely outplayed and outfought by a good Boro outfit. This has been a side who've been preparing to get back into the top flight for a number of years whereas we've just started.
As it's been said before, we're a work in progress; only 3 of our starting XI were at the club last season (Lees, Lee and Hutchinson.) A lot of work still needs to be done before we're a settled side.
I think people also have to remember it's not been an easy start to the season. 2 of the 5 teams we've played finished in the play offs last season. 5 points from 5 games isn't disastrous. Forestieri will offer much needed support going forward and Turner gives us that experience at the back. At the end of the day, it's going to take time for players to gel.
The international break has come at a good time I feel, we need to get the new signings gelled properly and take it from there. We have a lot more quality in the squad now compared to last season and the players needs to work hard, adapt to our style of play and put things right. We have seen glimpses of what we are capable of, just not consistent enough. Once we hit that consistency, we'll be hard to beat. We've got to show a little bit of patience.
It will take time for CC to find what his best team and formation is. Some of our fans expectations are too high at the moment. I don't expect top 6 but I want us to be at least challenging/having a go and seeing where it takes us.
We've scored in every game so far which is a positive. Matias is finding his form after 2 goals in as many league games and Westy will hopefully return after the break. The sooner he's back the better.
Finally, transfer deadline day is fast approaching. I'm really disappointed that the transfer window slams shut at 6pm this year rather than the usual time of 11pm. I don't know what you think but that ruins the fun of it. I'm used to staying up late watching Jim White on Sky Sports News (with that infamous yellow tie of his) and seeing deals that have either gone through or collapsed.
At the time of writing, we've just had a TEN MILLION POUNDS bid for Ross McCormack rejected by Fulham. Paying that amount of money doesn't guarantee success. Fulham paid £11m for McCormack last summer, getting 17 goals and finished below us in the final league standings. They haven't started this season well either.
If you're asking me, I hope we don't sign him as I'd prefer Hooper/Vydra. I think we'll be getting better value for money. More so with Vydra who compliments Forestieri well.
Darryl Lachman must be wondering why he signed a 2 year deal. Not yet given a kick and now pushed further down the pecking order following the arrival of Turner. It seems very bizarre, not to mention he was our first signing!
One player made available for loan is Stevie May. He splits opinion and mine is that he deserves the opportunity to show what he can deliver. If he is to temporarily leave, I hope he comes back a better player. It's a shame to admit it but I think his Hillsborough career is over regardless. It just hasn't worked out for him and these things happen.
Onto Burnley in 2 weeks, the first of 4 away games in September! Hopefully, we're more refreshed.
This was my first ramble article for Owls Alive. Hopefully there's more to come.

PianoForte Salon Series Airs Friday at 10:00 pm
Pianist Roger McVey comes from Idaho to play a Chicago piece—Defensive Chili by Marc Mellits, whose titles read like a WXRT playlist: Beatles Trip, Baby Chicken, Just Noise, Zombie in a Penguin Suit. Mellits calls his style eclectic, with "driving rhythms and soaring lyricism." Defensive Chili is a grooving work for solo piano. McVey adds to that a contemplative, atmospheric piece by New Zealander John Psathas, best known for his fanfares heard at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
McVey teaches at the University of Idaho, and studied at Indiana University with Menahem Pressler. He caps the program with a piece 100 years older than the other two, but arguably more modern: Rachmaninoff's Piano Sonata No.2 in Bb Major. The sharp juxtaposition of Rachminoff's ideas are emphasized in the version played by Roger McVey which comes from a 1931 revision by the composer.
The PianoForte Salon Series presents live piano recitals at noon on the first Friday of the month at PianoForte Studios located at 1335 South Michigan Avenue. The concerts are free to the public. The recitals air live on WFMT, except during April when the noontime concert is recorded for broadcast at 10:00 PM that evening (Friday).

text: Historical timeline Irvine has a long history of shipbuilding, and young people can find out about the construction and restoration of ships during their visit to the Linthouse Engine Shop. Our stunning Victorian glass—roofed building is often referred to as Scotland's 'Cathedral of Engineering' and was originally part of the Alexander Stephen Shipyard at Linthouse, Govan, Glasgow. Inside the Linthouse Engine Shop can be found much of the Museum's Collection, and a variety of interesting and different sized vessels are available to view. These include a rare 19th-century galley boat, Lady Guilford, and the RNLI TGB Lifeboat, as well as several unique figureheads from nineteenth-century ships. Just round the corner from the Linthouse, visitors to the Museum can tour the Shipyard Workers Tenement Flat, restored to its late 1920's appearance, and then walk to the harbourside to tour the historic MV Kyles, built in 1872 and believed to be the oldest surviving coastal vessel of its type afloat in Britain. A guide for teachers, with links relevant to the Curriculum for Excellence, is available from the Museum. This details the activities programme being offered by the Scottish Maritime Museum which has been designed to enhance students' learning, either during a visit to the Museum or through 'outreach' to schools. Since the Museum focuses primarily on the maritime history of Scotland, our educational activities cover the broad areas of Science, Technology, Expressive Arts and Social Studies.

I am sorry but many do not
I am sorry but many do not share this sentiment. The root causes of Poverty in Africa is corruption where the rule of law does not exist. The case has always been for every $1m pledged $1b is taken out of her in cash, goods & services. There are challenges but not as described here. Poverty became extreme poverty & now, 2015 has become 2030, that is an indictment on the world of Nobel etc. There is so much more to do on our tiny planet.

Maybe you were young and impressionable or it didn't turn out exactly the way you wanted; but, for whatever reason, you've had your tattoo removed using a laser. But, you kind of miss having ink in that spot and you have a great idea for a new tattoo. Should you?
How does laser work on tattoo removal?
Depending upon the colour and depth of the ink on your tattoo, it can take anywhere from three to more than 12 sessions to fade or completely eliminate the tattoo using laser. The laser breaks down the pigment in the ink so it can pass through your bloodstream. After having a laser treatment, don't wear tight clothes in that area and keep out of the sun, pools, saunas, and steam rooms. Don't take hot baths, either.
If you're really wanting a new tattoo in the same spot, you'll have to wait a bit – at least six to eight weeks – to make sure the area has healed properly. There should be no signs of bleeding, infection or scarring. Thin-skinned areas may scar easier than thick-skinned areas. Some people actually have a tattoo removed purposely to have another take its place.
Things to consider
Since the skin where your tattoo has been removed will likely be uneven and more delicate, it's really important you find an artist who is very experienced, comes highly recommended and perhaps has had a number of clients in the same boat. Ask questions. Ask to see a portfolio of work. A reputable artist will give you the right advice.
Also, because this new tattoo will be in the same spot as the one removed, you may notice the pain more while you're getting your new ink. Scar tissue sits on nerve endings, so bear that in mind. The location of the tattoo also has something to do with it – it will be more painful on your ribs as opposed to your upper arms, for instance.
So, if you want to get that old (or not so old) tattoo removed, give Fairview Laser clinic a call. They use the Nd-YAG laser. In most instances, a 95 per cent fading may be accomplished. Their expert team will let you know about how many sessions it will take to fade that perhaps not so nice memory!

Highlights of our trip included a visit to the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Temple at Karnak in Eqypt and an unexpected trip to a papyrus factory where the technique of making papyrus paper was demonstrated to us - unfortunately we weren't allowed to film that. There were some amazing pieces of artwork on the papyrus for sale, we couldn't resist one of a Bastet Cat with a couple of cartouches either side which we had our names painted into. The cat is one just like this image which I found on an online Eqyptian Papryus shop.
One of the other highlights was our visit to Malta - an island that neither of us had ever visited before. We saw some stunning architecture in Mdina, especially in the old part of the town. We also went to a glass-blowing factory and were lucky enough to watch the workers making the pieces of glass ornaments, vases etc. There were some beautiful creations in the shop, which I took video footage of, but I decided not to buy anything despite my desires, as I really could have gone overboard in there! Lots of vases, bowls, plates, paintings with glass, several of which were in the style of artists such as Van Gogh, Monet and Cezanne.
Once we have sorted through our photographs I will post some of them here.
On the cruise, I joined the passenger choir, which I loved being a part of. Since I would be missing a concert back home with Hull Musical Society, I was chuffed to be able to take part in a concert on the ship one evening towards the end of the cruise. We sung "Ascot Gavotte", "Edelweiss", "Be Still, My Soul", "As Long As I Have Music", "A La Cart", "Moon River", "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho", "Flying Free", "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "The Drunken Sailor". The concert was filmed by the cruise photographer, but Keith (my husband) also filmed it and has since made a DVD of it - this is one of my treasured memories of the holiday.
I am now working towards some exhibitions during the next few months, trying to build up my collection of smaller artworks as well as creating some more larger ones - I have been painting another magnetic note-pad this morning and a trinket box, too. For some reason, since we got back, we have both been getting up at around 6 or 7am and going to bed earlier in an evening! I have also been doing some more work on two of the plays that the Youth Section are to perform in July - we need to start ordering some of the costumes and props soon, too!
Right, that's enough for today, will try and upload some holiday photos soon.

#WEPff #GuestPost--Arpan Ghosh--On Writing #FANTASY--#IWSG Anthology
17 comments:
Arpan, thank you for this great post. Can't wait to see you enter the FANTASY Anthology. Also looking forward to your, and everyone else's entry for the GARDENS challenge.ReplyDelete
Denise :-)
Thank you Arpan.ReplyDelete
Bookstores and libraries are right up there in my favourite places too. And over the years I have read a LOT of fantasy. And love it. Exciting journeys into places which SHOULD be real.Replies
They absolutely should be real.Delete
May we continue to travel to such exotic and wondrous locales!
Congratulations again, Arpan, on your win! Your writing is always filled with magic and wonder, and the WEP is so honored that you've chosen to stretch those writing muscles during our challenges! How exciting to see Fantasy chosen by the IWSG - your post is full of inspiration! Thank you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much for the kind words, Yolanda! I am truly humbled.Delete
I'm looking forward to penning my next unusually strange tale.
Nice to meet you, Arpan. I was rather hoping that 'crime' was chosen for the anthology this year and broke into a sweat when it revealed 'Fantasy'. Read plenty of it but not written in this genre before. But now, I'll hang on every word of inspiration you've written above and I will have a go :)Thank you!ReplyDelete
Thanks Denise and Yolanda for all your hard work. Can't wait to have a bash :) Gardens...hmm..still mulling :)Replies
Yes, Nicola, I'm no fantasy writer, but many WEPpers are, so they'll be in the money. I was hoping for Romance, but somehow feel that'll never make the cut! But I'm going to have a go at fantasy. I've written a few little things in the past...Delete
Thanks for coming by. I hope you come up with something for Gardens. I haven't started yet. :-)
Nice meeting you too, Nicola!Delete
Fantasy can seem like a daunting genre to tackle, but it's just about unlocking the imagination. After all, isn't every fictional tale a fantasy of some sort? :)
I'm eager to see what you come up with!
Thanks for the opportunity, Denise! It was a really fun post to write! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Pleasure is all man Arpan. I'm sure many of us will be inspired by your post. Thank you. :-)Delete
Wonderful post, Arpan. I'm a fantasy writer myself, and for me, fantasy is an escape from reality. Just like you said: Opening the door to another world and allowing myself in.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much, Olga!Delete
I think now, especially, we need a few breaks from reality from time to time.
Beautifully written Arpan! I love fantasy and I love your definition.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you!Delete
It's flattering to get such praise from a fellow southpaw. :)
Thanks for sharing your love of fantasy, Arpan. It is exciting to learn that fantasy is the next IWSG anothology theme; now if only I could get a handle on writing short fiction.ReplyDelete
Thank you Arpan. I can identify with much of what you said although I am not the typical fantasy writer. However, at a young age, I started building my own world that was much different from the one I was living in.ReplyDelete
I don't know whether I will submit to the next anthology because I am still thinking about it. I am a member of the IWSG and it is a super group of writers.
All the best.

Then I got to studying the recipe and went "Oh my gawd!". No, it wasn't too complex to make, it just seemed that the list of ingredients went on and on and on... On the bright side, everything listed there was easily accessible to me (and you too, I imagine). And so quickly running out of excuses, I decided to forge ahead and make this. Let me tell you, regret it I did not, for the flavors of the tuna cakes when combined with the kick-ass spiciness of the green curry and the sweet heat of the banana chutney were out of this world! Imagine a fireworks display taking place in your mouth, it's not the heat you're concentrating on but the beauty of the explosions.
I somehow forgot to take a shot of the cilantro and mint - the two major green contributors!
Makes 8
1 cup flour
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Tuna Filling
2/3 cup (100g) firmly packed drained canned tuna
2 tablespoons very finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons very finely chopped cilantro (coriander) leaves
2 tablespoons freshly grated or moistened desiccated coconut
2 teaspoons lime juice
Salt to taste
Banana Chutney
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoons mustard seeds (I used Nigella seeds)
10 curry leaves
2 dried red chilies, soaked in water 5 minutes, roughly chopped
2 medium ripe but firm bananas, roughly mashed
6 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Green Curry Dip
4 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
4 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 large green chili, chopped
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro (coriander) leaves and fine stems
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons coconut or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 large onion, chopped
10 curry leaves
1 large tomato, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons curry powder
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon salt

Looking for baked halibut recipes? This easy baked Alaskan halibut recipe can be on the table in under 30 minutes. Serve it with rice and a simple salad.
If you are here looking for garlic chicken, I unfortunately don't have a recipe for that any where on my site. Nor do I know why all of those pins on Pinterest direct you to my halibut recipe. The recipe you are looking for is here at Cooks.com.
Thank you Alaska seafood for sponsoring today's post!
If you follow my blog regularly, you know that back in December I had an allergic reaction to crickets, which led me to find out I am allergic to shellfish. Can we all commiserate together? It was quite a shock. At my birthday dinner a few months earlier I had celebrated with large amounts of shellfish. Everyone should eat large amounts of shellfish, all of the time… unless they are allergic to it.
I mourned some of my favorite foods (particiulary lobster, crab and shrimp) for a little while. Then I decided to take the matter into my own hands. Just because I can't eat shellfish, it doesn't mean I can't eat fish.
Making fish at home is very easy and you can find really great fresh and frozen Alaskan seafood at the grocery store nowadays. Did you know Alaska supplies nearly 60% of the nation's seafood and about 90% of North America's salmon comes from Alaska? That is pretty amazing! I've started checking the packaging of frozen fish and making sure it's from Alaska before buying.
I digress. Five species of salmon, several varieties of whitefish, and numerous shellfish species come out of Alaska which means mouthwatering seafood options for every taste and cooking method and fresh, frozen and canned seafood available year round. If you're wondering when specific types of Alaskan seafood are available, check out this infographic:
I decided to use halibut for this recipe because I love it and I feel like it may not be cooked at home as much as it should be. I pondered making a number of baked halibut recipes but decided to stick to an easy halibut recipe.
Easy Baked Alaskan Halibut
Halibut doesn't have a lot of natural oil so it's important to keep it moist, otherwise it will dry out fast. There are a lot of different ways to cook halibut. You can grill it, bake it or fry it in a pan; as long as you make sure it is moist it will be delicious.
We basted halfway through the baking process and ended up with flaky and juicy meat. I made up a quick lemon butter and used that to oil the baking dish and to baste the fish. It may be simple but it is simply delicious.
I don't usually baste with butter but I thought it would be okay with halibut. Alaska seafood is really good for you – it's high in protein, low in saturated fat, low in sodium and one of the best sources of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. This made me feel so much less guilty about all of the butter. Everything in moderation, right?
I served the baked halibut with a small side salad and some wild rice. It was so easy to make and so quick that it is now on our weeknight rotation. You can never have too many delicious 30-minute meals!

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
There is something very christmassy about this cake. My favourite dessert ever has to be a good slice flour-less chocolate cake, but carrot cake is a close second. The best part about this cake is that it's like wine, it only gets better with age! Provided it lasts more than a day in your house..
- 1 1/2 c vegetable oil
- 1 c caster sugar
- 1 c brown sugar
- 6 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3 1/4 c flour
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 1/2 c grated carrots
- 1 c chopped walnuts
- 1/2 c raisins
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees. Prepare tin with parchment paper. (Use two 8" tins for full recipe. I made half the recipe in a loaf tin.)
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the caster sugar, brown sugar and vegetable oil until well combined. Add in the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Add in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt, baking power, baking soda and cinnamon. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture. Add the remaining into the wet ingredients and mix well. Do not over mix.
- In another bowl, add in the carrots, walnuts and raisins. Now add in the two tablespoons of the flour mixture set aside earlier. Toss everything together.
- Now add the carrots into the batter and fold everything together.
- Pour into prepared tin and bake for 40-55 minutes.
- Cool in the fridge and ice. Decorate with walnuts.
For the cream cheese frosting:
- 170 g cream cheese(room temperature)
- 120 g powdered sugar
- 57 g unsalted butter
- Whisk the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until it looks fluffy.
- Add in the butter and whisk well.
- Add the sugar in stages and whisk until combined.
- Refrigerate the frosting for 15-20 minutes.
- Apply on cooled cake.
