6 Ways to Up Your Style Game in 2018
To be sure, these are all great resolutions. But resolving to refine your fashion sense is easier than you might think, and will leave you with a little more strut in your step. Here are a few tips to amplify your style this year.
Get in better shape! Read more books! Save more money!
The right cut can go a long way. Getting your pants or shirt tailored to your exact measurements will make them look as if they were stitched from scratch. Learn some key tailoring terms to help you take "off the rack" off the charts:
The seam that binds the length of the inner pant leg. It measures the distance from the bottom crotch to the lower ankle.
Classic collar
The most popular style of shirt collar, with the wings cut straight and pointing downward.
How your pants drape over your shoes.
The excess of folded fabric added to a shirt or pant leg for aesthetic and practical purposes.
Where the fabric of a garment narrows.
"Let it out"
You want more fabric here, for a looser fit with the body.
"Take it in"
You want less fabric here, so it fits closer to the body.

Find Good Deals
Like our good friend and style icon Radcliffe told us, getting good deals doesn't mean sacrificing great style. You just need to know when and where to look. For example:
- January is the best month for buying suits
- October is your best month to find jeans
- November and April are good times to look for sneakers
- Tuesday is the ideal day to get great online deals on men's apparel
For more tips, check out our style post featuring Radcliffe.
Find Your Style Icon
Imitation is the best form of flattery. And when your imitation flatters you, even better. Taking notes from famously fashionable people — like Radcliffe or noted KxP booster and Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau — can help you create a foundation for your own personal style. Once you find your icon, describe them to a style expert at a store like GotStyle. This expert will be able to tailor your icon's fashion to work for you, creating a distinct style all your own.
Clear Out Your Wardrobe
Take a good look at all your clothes. You probably notice things you can't remember ever wearing. Others, you doubt you'll ever wear again. Part ways, friend. Bring your good stuff to a consignment store to sell and donate the rest. You'll free up closet space for new attire that highlights your updated style.
Invest in a Signature Piece
You don't need to dress to the nines all day, every day, to rock a killer style. All it takes is one article of clothing, like a pair of fine leather shoes, or an attractive accessory like a masterfully crafted timepiece. (Of course, a new pair of stylish socks every month can make a bold statement, too.)
Get a Style Subscription
A service like Cratejoy presents you with a wide variety of monthly subscription boxes to fill out your style repertoire. Looking for dress ties? How about some casual tees? Maybe even a grooming kit for your facial hair? All of these subscriptions can help you stay stylish through the seasons and effortlessly on top of the latest fashions.
Oh, and we'd be remiss if we neglected to mention our subscription offerings.

Loratadine Rash Causes and Reviews
A Rash is an area of irritated or swollen skin. Many Rashes are itchy, red, painful, and irritated. Some Rashes can also lead to blisters or patches of raw skin. Rashes are a symptom of many different medical problems. Other causes include irritating substances and allergies. Certain genes can make people more likely to get Rashes.
Contact dermatitis is a common type of Rash. It causes redness, itching, and sometimes small bumps. You get the Rash where you have touched an irritant, such as a chemical, or something you are allergic to, like poison ivy.
Some Rashes develop right away. Others form over several days. Although most Rashes clear up fairly quickly, others are long-lasting and need long-term treatment.
Because Rashes can be caused by many different things, it's important to figure out what kind you have before you treat it. If it is a bad Rash, if it does not go away, or if you have other symptoms, you should see your health care provider. Treatments may include moisturizers, lotions, baths, cortisone creams that relieve swelling, and antihistamines, which relieve itching.

If you haven't yet made Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls, oh gosh are you missing out! They are seriously my favourite meal ever - I make them at least once a week 😁
These Vegetarian Spring Rolls are a healthy alternative to the spring rolls you can buy at Thai restaurants. While the traditional spring rolls are super tasty - they are very far from healthy!
My favourite dipping sauce to have with these Spring Rolls and also the Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls is made by mixing equal ratio of fresh lime juice, fish sauce, water and then a little sweet chilli sauce to taste. Sweet chilli sauce isn't the best health wise because of the sugar but you can buy organic which doesn't contain nasty ingredients. I sometimes add a crushed garlic clove too - if I can be bothered! :)
- Practice makes perfect. The first few may not work too well or your roll may fall apart.
- Don't overfill your roll, especially if you are making these for the first time. The less ingredients the easier it will be to roll.
- Don't soak your rice paper for too long in water otherwise it will rip easily.
- If it does rip or fall apart then simply soak another paper and roll the whole thing twice.
- When you cook them in the pan, in the video I only cooked them on 2 sides. But I have since made them again and fried all sides (rolled them in the pan) and they were so much tastier!
Vegetarian Spring Rolls
- 1 x small red capsicum, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 zucchini, shredded
- 1 spring onion, finely sliced
- 2 coriander stalks, finely sliced (optional - I love coriander!)
- 1 large garlic clove, crushed
- 50g dried vermicelli rice noodles
- 1 & 1/2 Tbsp tamari sauce
- 1 egg
- Packet of rice paper wraps (I used 8) - I bought these from Pak'nSave.
- Cook the vermicelli rice noodles according to packet directions.
- In a large pan or wok, stir fry the capsicum, carrot, zucchini, spring onion, coriander stalks and garlic until cooked.
- Add the rice noodles, tamari sauce and egg and mix until the egg is cooked. Set aside.
- Pour boiling water into a shallow round dish. Slide a rice paper into the water and leave it in there for 10-20 seconds. Carefully take the soft rice paper out and place it on a plate.
- Place the vegetable filling ingredients in the paper, and roll it. Read my tips above and watch the video to help you here.
- Fry each spring roll in a little coconut oil until it crisps up. Make sure they don't touch in the pan or they will stick to each other and may rip when you separate them.
- For the best dipping sauce, mix equal ratio of fresh lime juice, fish sauce, water and a little sweet chilli sauce to taste.

Pac-12 announces tennis players of the week
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - USC junior Roberto Quiroz and WASHINGTON STATE junior Elizaveta Luzina were voted Pac-12 men's and women's tennis Players of the Week for play from Feb. 11-17, the Conference office announced today.
Quiroz (Guayaquil, Ecuador) helped drive the Trojans to a second-place finish in the ITA National Men's Indoor Championships with undefeated play in singles and doubles. He opened the competition with the point-clinching doubles victory in the Round of 16 against No. 14 Tennessee and was up by one set in his singles match when the Trojans secured the win. In the quarterfinals against No. 6 Baylor, Quiroz won across the board, getting the first doubles win and then earning a powerful straight-set victory over Mate Zsiga. In the crosstown rivalry clash against No. 2 UCLA, Quiroz upset No. 51 Mackenzie McDonald with a straight-set victory that helped USC upset the Bruins, with his doubles match going unfinished. The junior finished the weekend with two suspended matches as No. 5 Ohio State captured the doubles point, but Quiroz was up by one set in his singles match and two points in the doubles play.
Luzina (Moscow, Russia) continued her hot start to the season as she won both singles and both doubles matches over the weekend as Washington State posted back-to-back victories over nationally-ranked teams. Against 66th-ranked Fresno State, Luzina defeated Sophie Watts, the nation's 41st-ranked player in straight sets, 7-5, 7-5. The junior followed that victory with a 7-6, 6-1 win over Shan Blecher of No. 65 San Diego. The Moscow, Russia, native has posted a 21-3 record this season, going 10-1 in dual matches, all at the No. 1 slot. In doubles play, she and Lize Leenknecht swept both matches, defeating Fresno State, 8-4, and San Diego, 8-6. With the wins, the duo improves to 19-2 overall and 9-1 in dual play.
USC men's tennis hosts UC Santa Barbara and UC Davis on Friday, Feb. 21. Washington State women's tennis hosts three schools on the same day, facing off against Houston, UMKC and Eastern Washington.

Haim - Days Are Gone
Haim haven't released an album yet. It may seem like they have, but they haven't. Despite appearances at festivals across the country, a full debut on Later With…, top slot on the ever present BBC Sound of 2013, numerous EPs, Days Are Gone is their first long player. Three LA sisters (Este, Danielle, and Alana) and drummer Dan Hutton have garnered significant dollops of hype just by drip feeding their music into the collective consciousness. Add to that the fact that this album was originally scheduled for release in June and the sense of expectation is palpable. Full marks to their marketing bods for keeping us all onside for the best part of a year.
Luckily for the band the appetites that have been whet so far as going to be reasonably satiated when the last notes of these eleven tracks ring out. 'Falling' and 'Forever' are exactly what you'd expect the band to deliver: funky, angular pop at its finest. 'The Wire' slows things down, with a smooth vocal and a touch of r'n'b styled soft rock. As an opening salvo it works: it's catchy, edgy, pop of a kind that few others dare deliver. And in aiming high Haim have no shame in borrowing from the past, as the mix of 80s sound effects and soft Americana riff that lends 'Honey & I' something different shows. There's also a scent of that decade that continues with 'Don't Save Me' and the title track. The momentum is slightly lost on the opening of penultimate track 'Let Me Go' but it grows to a strong end. It's a shame then that 'Running If You Call My Name', a by-the-numbers Haim track, brings an end to proceedings
If there's a criticism, then it's the fact it's all a tiny bit same-y. Add to that the fact you've most likely heard all the best tunes ('Falling' and 'The Wire') already, in that carefully orchestrated year long pre-release campaign. On the whole though, Haim are different enough to justify the attention, even if as a listening experience it could do with a touch more real diversity. With a bit more of a stretch you feel there's something really special waiting to come.

Experience and applied research merge together to give birth to an integrated project dedicated to developing the huge potentialities of the olive properties.
Experience, respect and knowledge
Only a great experience in olive tree growing, a respectful transformation process and a deep knowledge of the chemical properties of the fruits allow to obtain naturally products with such an extraordinary antioxidant powers. OLIVIE's products not only contain hydroxytyrosol, but also tyrosol, olea europeine, flavonoids, vanillic acids, caffeic acids that are different kinds of polyphenols. OLIVIE is a line of very complete products that also contain Vitamins and natural mineral substances. For this reason OLIVIE is the richest "active" product available in the market today.
Why use synthetic and chemical products when natural remedies are available?
During millennia, when progress was still in line with the real needs of mankind, Men were efficiently taking care of their body by what was available in nature. Today reality is dramatically different and unfortunately many of the simple natural remedies have been forgotten; we are geared towards unnatural solutions despite their dangers. In this context, OLIVIE PHARMA, fortified by its consciousness, carries a leading role in spreading the awareness of the healthy properties of the olive and carries a culture of respect for both Man and his environment. OLIVIE: the natural olive benefits available for everybody.
A real help in the daily health
OLIVIE is the result of an integrated project that includes the olive tree growing, the olive transformation and the applied research for a wider and more efficient use of the olive peculiarities. The project resulted in the production of foodstuff, nutritional supplements and cosmetics based on olive extracts with a high natural concentration of antioxidants coming out from organic processes. OLIVIE shares its knowledge on the curative properties of the olive to help people fighting diseases in a natural, often cheaper, and efficient way.

World's best. World's fastest. World's smartest.
Superlatives are the stuff of which news headlines are made. IBM, taking center stage at its Think 2018 conference in Las Vegas, scores big in superlatives this week in unveiling the world's smallest computer.
How small? Paul Lilly in HotHardware said it was a computer so small that you need a microscope to get a good look at it.
Measurement? 1mm by 1mm. Processing power? Joe Sommerlad, The Independent, said it was the same as the x86 chip that ran early IBM desktop computers.
IBM Research said "It packs several hundred thousand transistors into a footprint barely visible to the human eye."
The key point being made about its use is that it can be an anti-fraud device.
Is fraud that big a problem?
IBM presented its case. "Fraud costs the global economy more than $600 billion a year. And in some countries, nearly 70 percent of certain life-saving drugs are counterfeit. Complex supply chains—comprised of dozens of suppliers in multiple countries—make it difficult to prevent bad actors from tampering with everything from paper currency to consumer electronics."
So how does this tiny computer help? IBM's Arvind Krishna, the head of IBM Research, wrote Monday: "Nobody likes knockoffs. Crypto-anchors and blockchain will unite against counterfeiters."
Krishna brought blockchain technology and the grain of salt sized computer into that perspective.
"Within the next five years, cryptographic anchors—such as ink dots or tiny computers smaller than a grain of salt—will be embedded in everyday objects and devices. They'll be used in tandem with blockchain's distributed ledger technology to ensure an object's authenticity from its point of origin to when it reaches the hands of the customer. These technologies pave the way for new solutions that tackle food safety, authenticity of manufactured components, genetically modified products, identification of counterfeit objects and provenance of luxury goods."
Ensuring the authenticity of physical goods, said IBM, further involves crypto-anchors as tamper-proof digital fingerprints, embedded into products, or parts of products, and linked to the blockchain. When tied to a blockchain, they represent "a powerful means of proving a product's authenticity."
Olga Kharif in Bloomberg in December said Blockchain is getting bigger at Big Blue.
"The blockchain enables companies doing business with each other to record transactions securely," said Kharif. "Its strength lies in its trustworthiness: It is difficult to reverse or change what's been recorded. The blockchain can also hold many more documents and data than traditional database storage, allowing for more nuanced insights and analysis."
What's next: According to IBM, "The first models could be made available to clients in the next 18 months. And within the next five years, advances in microfluidics, packaging platforms, cryptography, non-volatile memory, and design will take all of these systems from the lab to the marketplace."
The computer will cost less than ten cents to make—and "packs several hundred thousand transistors into a footprint barely visible to the human eye," said IBM.


text: Relating to managing a enterprise, there's nothing like having a productive goal and never being able to realize that aim resulting from a disconnection between the management staff and the workers. In essence, a second stage accelerator bears a powerful resemblance to traditional management consulting corporations, however adjusted to satisfy the wants of SME's. However in the event you need help refining your enterprise model or if you are a primary-time CEO seeking steering from proven friends and entrepreneurs, these types of companies will be perfect.\n\nAt this level as the enterprise proprietor, you usually turn your attention to retaining key workers along with some particular benefits for yourself. Enterprise growth entails all duties and processes regarding both the analytical preparation, monitoring and support of progress alternatives.\n\nMoreover, no firm can home all expertise internally, thus the recommendation from exterior business professionals could at instances come in handy. To do your corporation autopsy find a quiet place the place you'll be able to sit and replicate on the lifetime of your enterprise.\n\nBecause this recession will finish throughout the next 12 to 18 months, little doubt about it. If you happen to wait to determine your personal brand of products until after the recession ends, you should have misplaced this treasured time to set up your online business on strong ground.\n\nIt is simpler for most people to ship the print job to the printer then only allowing it to release the documents when your card will get presented. An example is flowers; if your corporation makes products which can be devoted to women, then introducing flowers as visible parts (graphics) of your card will most definitely entice extra buyers.\n\n

CBS News has announced that it fired Charlie Rose and after eight women accused the prominent journalist of sexual harassment. Rose has apologized, though insisted not all the allegations are accurate.
American television network CBS has fired Charlie Rose from its popular "CBS This Morning" show after eight women accused the respected TV interviewer of sexual harassment.
"I've often heard that things used to be different," CBS president David Rhodes wrote in a memo to employees. "And no one may be able to correct the past. But what may once have been accepted should not ever have been acceptable."
The Washington Post published a report on Monday in which the women accused the 75-year-old of sexual misconduct, the latest in a string of harassment allegations against prominent American men.
The newspaper said the women, whose ages ranged from 21 to 37 at the time of the allegations, were employees or aspired to work for Rose from the 1990s to as recently as 2011.
'Lewd conduct'
Five of them said Rose had put his hands on their legs, one alleged he groped her buttocks at a party, while two described how he had walked naked in front of them after emerging from the shower.

The Washington Post said five of the women only agreed to be interviewed on condition of anonymity for fear of damage to their careers.
Rose was immediately suspended as co-host of "CBS This Morning" and as a contributing correspondent for CBS' "60 Minutes" show. US public broadcaster PBS and Bloomberg also halted nationwide distribution of his renowned interview show.
"These allegations are extremely disturbing and we take them very seriously," CBS News said in a statement, which was also posted to Twitter.

A spokesperson said PBS was shocked by the "deeply disturbing allegations."
The show aired by PBS is produced independently, but "we expect our producers to provide a workplace where people feel safe and are treated with dignity and respect," the spokesperson added.
Rose: 'Greatly embarrassed'
In response, Rose said he was "greatly embarrassed" at his "inappropriate behavior" and admitted that he had "acted "insensitively at times."
"I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken," he added.
He went on to say that he didn't believe all the allegations were true.
Rose, whose reputation helped to attract the biggest names in politics, entertainment and academia to his interview show, is the latest public figure to face sexual harassment accusations in the US.
The first revelations emerged two months ago against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein , and since then similar claims have come out against high-profile men in the entertainment world and other industries.

The accusations have led to street protests and the #MeToo social media campaign by women and men who have also faced sexual harassment.

Former Test cricketer Vijay Bharadwaj joins BJP, says he is a 'big fan' of Narendra Modi
Bengaluru, June 8: Former India Test batsman R Vijay Bharadwaj began a new innings as he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The 39-year-old Bharadwaj took up the primary membership of BJP in the presence of Union Minister for chemicals and fertilisers HN Ananth Kumar, on Sunday (June 7) in Bengaluru.
"I am a big fan of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He is highly inspiring. This is the reason I decided to join the party," Bharadwaj told OneIndia on Monday.
Bharadwaj, who played 3 Tests and 10 ODIs for India, is however, not decided on his future course of action in politics.
"As of now I have just taken the membership. I have not decided what to do in future," he said.
Bharadwaj, after scoring heavily in Ranji Trophy, was selected to represent India in 1999. After an impressive ODI debut series in Nairobi (Kenya), he failed to remain consistent and his short international career ended in 2002.
However, he continued to serve Karnataka cricket for a long time, till 2005. He played 95 first-class matches and scored 5,553 runs with 14 centuries. After his retirement, he was involved in coaching and also in administration at Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA).

He's Dachshund,
about a year old.
He's a great addition to our family.
The Tchoupitoulas
We had to put The Tchoupitoulas to sleep yesterday.
I have never felt so much pain in my life.
He was my boy,
my baby,
I can't believe he's gone.
He was 16 months old,
and so full of life.
It felt so wrong to put him down,
but we had to.
My boy is gone,
gone forever.
I'm going to be silent for a while.
I'll comment,
but I just don't have much to say these days.
The past four years have been so painful.
Shug and I have been through it.
We're good people.
We love each other,
we would make great parents.
But it seems that we have fallen out of God's Favor.
I'll be back,
but right now
I just can't.

NCR urges banks to accept movable assets for loans
The National Collateral Registry (NCR) has appealed to commercial banks in the country to accept movable assets as collateral to increase the quantum of borrowing to small businesses.
Its Registrar, Mohammed Mainasara, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the 27th Seminar for Finance Correspondents and Business Editors in Gombe from April 24 to April 26, 2019.
At the seminar with the theme: Repositioning Micro-Finance Banks for Real Sector Growth, Mainasara said with the introduction of the NCR, small businesses should now be able to access credits at reasonable rates.
"It is expected that the Registry and credit reporting will motivate banks to accept moveable assets as collateral. It is also expected that the Registry will reduce bank default rate, boost production and create employment.
"It will also cut down the cost of verifying borrowers by 35 per cent, therefore reducing the cost of credit and non-performing loans," he said.

End Minimum Sentencing Requirements for Non-violent Drug Offenses
0 have signed. Let's get to 200!
The U.S. justice system presides over more than 7 million people, approximately 2.38 million of whom are imprisoned at the local, state, or federal level along with another 4.62 million people who are currently on probation or parole.
This is due to a system of mass incarceration that has long been the norm in the American criminal justice system. Christopher Wildeman, associate professor of Policy Analysis and Management at Cornell University, defines mass incarceration as the extremely high rate of imprisonment currently seen throughout the U.S that is perpetuated through harsh punishments for nonviolent crimes.
This system of mass incarceration began to take shape with the policies that created the War on Drugs as politicians enacted harsh penalties for minor crimes to appear as being tough on crime. The ACLU finds that "drug arrests now account for a quarter of the people locked up in America, but drug use rates have remained steady," which shows that current policies simply do not work.
Along with being an ineffective deterrent to crime, mass incarceration in the United States negatively impacts children by imprisoning parents and creates a cycle of imprisonment that is fueled by high recidivism rates in minority communities.
Ultimately, reforming this system of mass incarceration is the key to creating stable communities that decrease the number of people returning to prison and improve the lives of those most severely impacted by the cycle of imprisonment.
This petition is being sent to the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet. They handle the proposals put forth for changes to the federal court system and are thus is in the best position to end minimum sentencing requirements for nonviolent drug offenses.

Over the years, a significant portion of the land in the area left the public domain through mining laws, resulting in a highly fragmented pattern of public land ownership. The BLM is proposing to modify the mineral withdrawal in Public Land Order Number 184 to open lands to all forms of appropriation and entry under public land laws, while remaining closed to location and entry under U.S. general mining and leasing laws. These lands were originally withdrawn for purposes incident to national emergency and prosecution of World War II.
This notice gives the public an opportunity to raise any concerns and to comment on the proposal to modify the existing withdrawal. If the modification is approved and processed, the BLM would announce any intentions to dispose of public lands in a separate Federal Register Notice.
The public will have through May 11, 2015 to comment on the proposed withdrawal modification or to request a public meeting. If a meeting is needed, a formal meeting notice will be published in the Federal Register.
Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the Bureau of Land Management Colorado State Office, 2850 Youngfield Street, Lakewood, CO 80215-7093. For additional information, please contact John D. Beck, Branch of Lands and Realty, at the address above or by telephone at 303–239–3882.

What are Some of the Benefits that You Will Get from Talking Installment Loans
An installment is just a borrowed amount that must pay back over a contracted period in regular payments which is always done on a monthly basis. We also have other alternatives of loans such as payday loans which is the same thing as an installment loan. In this article, we are going to discuss some of the benefits that you will get when you apply for an installment loan.
You find that most of the people prefer applying for this loans due to that fact that it offers them flexible repayment periods which is one of the things that people look into when applying for loans. This means that the money lender will not have to force you to make massive repayments once. This is one challenging area that prevents people from taking other types of loan. One disadvantage of this is that you will not be in a position to commit such vast amounts of money as well as taking care of other things in your budget. On the other hand, when you take installment loan you will have to decide on the period of repayment, and it is usually distributed over an extended period. This means that you will only be required to make some partial payment monthly until the end of repayment period.
You find that most of the people like installment loans because of the regular repayment rates. You find that installment loans have fixed interest rates for the life of the loan. This is beneficial since you will not have to worry about rising interest rates which will force to make vast amounts at the end of the month. As a result, you will be in a place to see the payment that you are expected to make each month since it is something predictable.
Also, installments loans are beneficial because of their longer-term ranges. This means that you can make an extended period to repay the installment loan. This is always beneficial as this will lead to lower monthly payments. You will be in a position to have your peace of mind since you will not have to stress yourself about where you will get the money. With this you will be in a place to run your life smoothly as you repay the loan in bits.
It also makes a short time to develop. You will be in a position to get your money after a short time the moment you make use. This is because most lenders don't need a lot of documentation to approve an installment loan. With this, you will be in a position to get your money after the end of the deal.

The power to inspire, to provoke, to make people feel, create hope, desire. Art is the power to challenge, to mobilize, to unite, to revolt, to force social change. Art is power; it has a voice, an emotion, an opinion. It pulls people in conversation; about the corrupt, the wrong, the injustice, the subversive.
The artist is the rebel. The troublemaker, the activist, the creative insurgence that defies order and the status quo. The bravery of these restless spirits is what inspires Art No Cube to do whatever it can to shine a spotlight on their work, spread their word and reach as many people as possible. Their mission is our mission. Their songs are our songs. We will carry their poems, painting, photos and installations or whatever form or shape their art embodies. We will promote their dreams, and push the change they have envisioned.
We want to be the voice of the radical artist; the dreamer who's craving to share his vision with the world. This voice doesn't always fit on the white walls of a gallery. More often than not, this voice needs to be heard on the streets, in neighborhoods, in public places and malls, in bars and restaurants or in your daily commute.
We will bring these voices to where they need to be heard.
Our audience is the tribe of critical thinkers. Men and women who want to be provoked, who don't hide for radical ideas but seek out the uncomfortable thinking necessary to make change happen

The British Newspaper "The Guardian" has chosen Lisbon as the best European City for this year's Christmas Shopping. The Portuguese Capital came ahead of other Cities, well known for their Holiday Spirit, like Lille, Munich, Ghent and Copenhagen.
Lisbon may not have the traditional snow, but more than makes up for it in other ways that give it a very particular holiday spirit, different from other cities. The newspaper highlights the "scent of chestnuts" that "fills the air"; "concerts… held in churches" and how the City "sparkles" with all the lighting in the streets, particularly a "massive tree in Praça do Comércio".
The fact that the "festivities feel refreshingly uncommercialised" is also mentioned. Not that it stops the author from recommending a few local shops, the great majority of which are family owned local businesses like "Luvaria Ulisses", a glove shop; "Chocolataria Equador" or "Conserveira de Lisboa" that sells traditional Portuguese fish preserves in tin cans.
"Bolo-rei", the most traditional pastry for this season, like the one baked at Confeitaria Nacional (present in Riyadh) also features among the recommendations alongside "filhoses", a fried delicacy. For a Christmas Eve Supper in Portuguese Style, Codfish, the dish most beloved by the Portuguese, especially during the Christmas Season, could not be left out.

The number of pooches in the chemistry building is booming once again which raises a perennial pet question: do chemists show their affection differently than other dog owners?
Decide for yourself. Izzy is just one lobe short of becoming d(z^2). And, so far, she is willing to sit still for this. (I can't help asking, though, if d orbitals are dog orbitals, what do s and p orbitals look like? Send me your pictures.)

Financial Concerns Exposed
What tops America's list of concerns?
My financial concerns. I go to bed to them and wake-up to them. They have become my whole reason for living. Financial concerns are making us miserable with each other. They are dividing and conqueroring. Any serious illness raises important financial concerns. Financial concerns are driving us deeper and deeper into depression. Never enough? I am happy I do not have a 9-5.
I release financial concerns. I am free, and I am prosperous. Letting go of worries and concerns free's me. I ask myself an important question: "What really matters most, in my life right now?" The answer: My health and that of those around me – good healthy relationships.
Health and happiness are more important than any financial concerns. I acknowledge the prosperity already evident in my life. I open my mind and heart to the abundance that is already here. I have faith that any resources I need will be provided.
I share and do my part to open the way for greater prosperity to manifest. Because, I have everything I need today, tomorrow and always. I am one with Spirit and all is well.
Live more abundantly, be content with what you have.
A business is a blessing. Enact reforms and new initiatives Here is how.

Back home from a hectic week in Vegas for WPPI and feeling glad to been there representing Sony, tired (these things always knock me out) and was anxious to get home to Nicki and the kids.
While I spent a LOT of time in the Sony booth, I did get a chance to browse the trade show floor and I saw a few things that I wanted to share.
1) Of course I have to start with the "Bell of the Ball", and that is the announcement of The Sony a7III.
This is going to bring a ton of wedding and portrait shooters into the Sony fold if they have not come over already. For under $2k with dual slots, the fast battery, joystick controller, 10 fps, silent shooting, insane 4K video, it's just the most value for dollar of any brand on the market. No doubt about it.
Check out the article I wrote on my blog regarding this camera and it's high ISO performance.
1a) Sony announced their new transceiver flash, the HVL-F60RM, which is a 60 Guide Number flash. It also features the companies unique swivel bounce feature and 3 LED lights which can also provide low light focus assist in AF-S mode of shooting which is perfect for wedding photographers. They've also added an external battery pack to help power hungry wedding shooters speed up recycle time. One of the small but very important upgrades is the addition of more metal around the foot of the hotshoe which should make the unit more robust than others that do not have that improved foot.
2) I spent some time in the Madera Books booth and was incredibly impressed with the quality of materials and workmanship in their products. The "flush-mounted" albums (the one that mount a complete sheet of photo paper to a board and then are bound) are thick and substantial and have a real boutique feel to them. They're a smaller company that is creating some wonderful books.
It was also great to reconnect with Jessica Claire, who's brother in law Michael Norwood is the principal with the company as well as Victor Sizemore, a destination wedding photographer. Both I have known for nearly 15 years and they are doing such wonderful work and nice to see them sharing their love of Madera at the show. (That is the thing about the WPPI experience. It is in Vegas and that is typically a Love/Hate thing for most folks but the best part of it is seeing old friends who consistently come here (and my friends in the photo equipment industry).
3) Speaking of books, I ventured over to my friends at Graphi Studio and saw their unique presentations. They are truly the most unique ways to present albums that I have ever seen. They're not books in the classic sense, but instead they are pushing the boundaries of what people perceive of wedding albums and the results were astonishing. Very stylish yet timeless and with leathers that are quite wonderful to the touch. But the thing that knocked me out the most was the Amalfi Paper in a Japanese bounce book style that they displayed on a destination wedding by the talented husband and wife team of Two Mann Studios. The range and vibrancy of the prints. Lovely to see Maureen Neises with GraphiStudio who is in charge of their US office.
4) My tripod sponsor Sirui USA was on hand and they reported that sales were brisk (they were selling through retailer Samy's Camera who had a booth). I'm glad to see folks starting to discover this gem of a company. Not only is Paul Zakrewski, their marketing director, on of the nicest people in the business, they make some insanely great tripods that hit a sweet spot for price and performance. I absolutely love using their Video Monopod and their Tripods for my stills and video work. They showed a prototype 3 way head which should be of interest to landscape and interior photographers.
Having breakfast with Paul and fellow Sirui Ambassador Marc Weisberg was a highlight of the day. If you are an interior photographer and want to learn from simply the best in the business, check out Marc's seminars at: https://luxuryrealestateimages.com/mastering-luxury-real-estate-photography-3-day-intensive-palm-springs-ca/
5) Sigma announced that they are coming out with 9 new lenses (prime lenses from 14mm to 135mm!) in their highly acclaimed Art Series made natively for Sony E mount. This is huge because it shows that more and more companies are realizing that Sony is in it to win it. Sigma will also retrofit the mount of their Canon and Nikon glass for Sony E mount which is also a big deal since it saves photographers money.
And I also got to put my hands on their new 14-24mm f2.8 Art Series wide angle and it is solid. The zoom mechanism and the manual focus mechanism are some of the smoothest that I have ever used on an auto focus lens. These really felt as if they were dampened like you would find with old school, helicoid manual focus lenses.

Affordable Payment Plan Options with Houston Newborn Photographer Sarah Borchgrevink
When photographing a new baby in my studio, I often spend around an hour setting up for your sessions. I pull many beautiful items that are typically hand crafted and are from other local businesses such as wraps, tie backs, textiles, and antique shops such as buckets, bowls, and all the props you may have seen in my newborn portfolio or studio.
I also spend 1-2 hours photographing your sweet cherub and then around 3 hours retouching the images before sending you the gallery. Afterwards, the images are yours for a lifetime. They'll be loved, treasured, and displayed for years to come. You'll see them throughout their childhood, at their wedding, and passed down as a family heirloom. You're not taking these images just for yourself: but for your children.
What You're Investing In: Art & Talent
As a full time small business owner, there are expenses professional photographers have to upkeep. For instance, just a few of monthly expenses your photographer are responsible for is a 30 percent income tax, the rent or mortgage for our business space, health insurance, utilities, business insurance, vehicle usage, supplies, professional website maintenance, subscriptions to editing software, meals, training and mentoring, our bookkeeping or CPA services, attorney on retainer, gas and mileage, etc. The list is never ending. This why professional portrait artists charge the rates we charge: because in order to run a successful business we have to be responsible owners. It's all part of our cost of doing business. I say this in complete transparency so clients see there is a reason behind the rates you see listed on a pricing or investment guide.
Also, as a Houston Newborn Photographer, I've invested into my own newborn photography education through safety workshops, newborn mentoring, and classes on lighting, equipment, styling of your sessions and post processing of images. I use top of the line camera equipment as well as a custom built super PC so your sessions are edited efficiently. I am still mentoring and will continue to do so because being stagnant is not an option.
Why Flexible Payment Plans Are An Option To All my Clients
A few days ago, on Facebook, a close friend told me the following, " I really wish I had budgeted and planned ahead so I could do newborn sessions for my daughter! Worth every penny but sometimes pennies are hard to come by." Another friend also relayed, " I am so sad that we couldn't afford newborn photos." Hearing this made me feel like I had done my friends a disservice. While they did not inquire into my professional newborn photography sessions, they also did not know that payment plans are always an option with my studio. Professional newborn photography is an investment, one of which you'll never regret making, however, I also understand sometimes parents have many other expenses during their pregnancy. Photography is a luxury.
With my friends explaining this to me, I feel compelled to write a post explaining that I offer payment plans year around to everyone. Don't be afraid to ask. You should not miss out on these precious, fleeting images. Newborn sessions take place in the first 14 days of life so this allows you to capture this brand new milestone with affordable options.
How My Payment Plans Work
If a payment plan is the way you'd like to book, let's get this process started! I have a few options for you to select from. You may select 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. There is a $100 non-refundable retainer to secure the payment plan. The rest of your balance is broken up into your selected time length. Many parents are excited to still be able to have the session with a smaller up front investment. Then, you have time needed to pay for your session.
How Are Payment Plans Setup
Clients have two options for setting up a payment plan. They may pay through credit or debit cards of their choice. You may also use personal checks. You are invoiced according to your payment plan preference (1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months). There is no interest so you will not incur any additional charges other than your flat rate listed on the pricing guide.
When you receive your images or products
Ten business days after your final payment has been made, you will receive an online digital gallery filled with your perfected and retouched high resolution digital files. There will also be instructions on how to order the heirloom prints that come in your collection. The digital files are yours to download, share, print, enjoy, etc. You may treasure them forever! While I do not release any final copies without payment in full, your photos are backed up onto two different hard drives as well as a cloud subscription so they stay safe while they await to be retouched.
Option to pay off your payment plan earlier
Many times, the clients I have done payment plans with have chosen to pay their session off earlier than expected. While there is no rush to do so, this is an option if you choose to complete your final installment at an earlier date. Parents are excited to receive the images and often cannot wait to have the gallery.

This is a straightforward question. Unfortunately, the answer is not easily accessible for anyone who wants to comply with the rules of the road. Because of the inaccessibility of the law and the growing interest and use of bicycles in Buffalo, it is time to take steps to make the rule widely available so that our streets are safer.
Bicyclists May Need Greater Protection to Prevent Accidents
Buffalo is seeing terrific upgrades to its bicycle infrastructure. The upgrades have included the installation of 11.3 miles of bike lanes in 2013. These lanes will hopefully not only encourage bicycling within Buffalo but also make it safer. A new report out of Rochester indicates, however, that a bicycle safety law has not been enforced.

2016 Arts and Archives: Belvedere and Josephine with Sunshine
The Lower Palace of Belvedere
After the magnificent breakfast at our hotel we walked to the Belvedere palaces, Prince Eugene of Savoy's summer and winter residence, which are considered to be one of the world's finest Baroque landmarks. In addition to the other permanent collections the galleries house the biggest collection of Gustav Klimt (The Kiss was purchased in 1908).(no photos from teh collections)
In the afternoon we had a very informative tour of Josephinum, which is an important part of the Medical University of Vienna's cultural heritage. The collections have evolved to reflect the institution's almost 650-year history and their depth and variety makes them a treasure unique in the world.At the heart of the Josephinum's collections are the original stocks, acquired by Joseph II when the institution was founded, especially the world-famous wax anatomical models. Ever since the Josephinum was founded in 1785, the collection of wax models has been accessible to a wider audience, even if it was primarily commissioned for teaching purposes. Originally the collections included around 1200 vax figures, at the moment the collection includes 1000 items. (- no photos from the collections)

Questions and answers about everything except Fred Funk's skirt:
How did Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson finish 2005?
Apparently on the same page. Neither is expected to begin 2006 by playing in the Mercedes Championships.
Are they confused? Don't they know the shorter schedule doesn't debut until 2007?
They're well aware and have consulted many times with PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem. At last month's Tour Championship, Woods endorsed a longer offseason, before departing for Japan, China, Hawaii and Palm Springs. Mickelson must like the idea, too. He didn't even go to the Tour Championship. And, no, it wasn't because he was still tired from playing that extra hole at the Presidents Cup.
Is the FedEx Cup a good concept?
It's a knockoff of NASCAR's Nextel Cup, designed to provide golf with a gripping September playoff. Tony Stewart won NASCAR's 10-race "Chase for the Championship."
Was it a great chase?
Not really. Stewart didn't win any of those 10 races, and all he had to do in the final event was avoid a crash. He drove like he was going to the grocery store, finished 15th and then went directly to the parade in Times Square.
How can the PGA Tour prevent a similar anticlimactic finish?
By having a points system that won't allow, say, Woods to snag a $10 million jackpot by shooting 80, then flying home early. Or to Japan, China, Hawaii and Palm Springs.
Did the LPGA create a buzz in 2005?
Absolutely. Annika Sorenstam, Michelle Wie, Paula Creamer, Morgan Pressel. Plus, Ai Miyazato won the qualifying school tournament by 12 shots. She's only 20.
Why are so many prodigies women, not men?
Vijay Singh's theory is that guys get burned out in high-pressure college programs. Then, if they make it to the PGA Tour, they discover they can live happily ever after with toys instead of trophies.
So, women are taking over?
Everywhere. There's a 25-year-old Diandra Asbaty on the Professional Bowlers Association Tour. Look at Oprah Winfrey's reception when she finally went on David Letterman's show. He all but genuflected, and she didn't even give him a free car.
Does Asbaty use the same dressing room as the men?
Seen any bowlers lately? They don't need dressing rooms.
NASCAR just signed a $270 million deal with ABC-ESPN to televise most of the season-ending demolition derbies starting in 2007. What does that mean for golf?
It might mean that, when the PGA Tour negotiates its TV contracts next year, Mike Tirico, Paul Azinger and Nick Faldo won't have to whisper on weekends anymore.
Any fallout from the "Bamberger Helper" incident?
I didn't sense much of a public outcry after a writer from a national magazine precipitated Wie's disqualification from a tournament. Most golf fans I talked to were more amazed that a writer would actually leave the press tent and set foot on a course. Must have been between meals.
Did technology affect golf in 2005?
A tired theme, in our opinion. You can't legislate against progress. The big story in bowling, besides Asbaty, is the new scented ball. You can now collect the 7-10 split with an amaretto ball. In tennis, it was the introduction of a magnetic racket, which instantly returns to its original shape after you hit the ball and which doesn't smell like amaretto. Yet.
So, you're really not worried about emerging technology?
I worry about technology when I call my bank two blocks away to find out whether a check has cleared and the person who picks up the phone is in New Delhi.
Any suggestions for last-minute stocking stuffers?
Absolutely. Sharper Image has a RadarGolf gizmo with 12 balls that cannot be lost because they contain tiny microchips. It sells for only $349.95. When I asked a salesman whether those balls will go as far as a regular ball, he asked how far I usually hit a regular ball. I told him, and he said, "Would you instead consider spending $349.95 on a lesson?"
On a serious note: Was it all about dimples this year?
Not for golf's first family. Steve and Krista Nicklaus lost a son in a tragic drowning accident. In Jack and Barbara Nicklaus' Christmas card, there are pictures of all of their grandchildren with an insert: "Jake. In our hearts forever."
Bob Verdi is a senior writer for Golf World magazine

Teaching for exams/
When I was teaching, I subscribed to the Times Educational Supplement, and was regularly engaged in all kinds of polemical correspondence. When I retired I withdrew from all that, cancelled the subscription, and stopped following educational stories at all. But now I can't stay away, have to get involved again, for one, unavoidable reason. Yup. Michael Gove.
I had a letter published in today's Guardian, one of many attacking his proposals for exams. He has this ideal diagram, where coursework is shoddy, unreliable and vague; only exams are keen, precise and intellectually respectable. So "rigour" requires no more coursework, only exams.
Back in the 1960s, I remember "only exams." It means that I have to practise exam technique, teach kids how to prepare, to read exam questions, to write under timed conditions. There are some bright pupils who enjoy that process, and whose results benefit from it. (There are other bright pupils who find it incredibly dull.)
But for a large number, who won't be successful in any exam, it's a huge turnoff; repetitive, and leading to inevitable failure. In fact, it's a good reason to skive. That's where we're heading, and he either doesn't know or doesn't care.

Little Mama Products Offers Skincare Goods that Honor the Southwest
Natural soaps filled with scrumptious-smelling oils and fragrances. Luxurious body butters designed to soften skin that has been effected by the desert sun. Lip balms and body scrubs in a variety of appealing scents. These are just some of the many skincare products that Sue Harris creates at Little Mama Products.
Located in the foothills of the North Phoenix Mountains Desert Preserve, Harris—the creator, owner and sole employee of Little Mama Products—has been busy providing her many happy customers with natural soaps and other products for 15 years.
As Harris recalls, her interest in natural products, combined with battling a stubborn skin condition, inspired her to learn to make soap.
"I have always been a sort of earthy, make-it-yourself, natural healing kind of person. I also have real sensitive skin, and had been dealing with eczema here and there pretty much my whole life," she says.
When a friend offered to show Harris how to make soap, she jumped at the chance.
"After the soapmaking session at her house, I came home and started doing research and formulating my own recipes. It felt so natural to me," she says.
After using nothing but her own soap for a month or so, Harris realized that all of her eczema issues had vanished, which quickly made her decide to turn the hobby into a full-time job.
Harris then began to sell her homemade soaps, which are all made from her own formulas and recipes, at a local farmer's market. Soon, she had her own booth along with an online business featuring over 100 varieties of soap, as well as other products.
"They are all formulated to lather nicely, yet not dry you out," says Harris, adding that she usually uses between 10 and 13 different oils and butters in each soap.
"There are soaps scented with essential oils only; soaps with fun, fruity fragrances; soaps with scrubby bits such as ground loofah, ground coffee and shredded organic coconut hull; Southwestern specialties that tie in thematically to our wonderful state; facial soaps; 'manly' scents; goat's milk soaps and even a nice selection of unscented soaps."
Her three current top sellers for soap are "Wake Up," which features peppermint and caffeine powder; "Sweet Sunshine," an unscented goat's milk soap with extra helpings of shea butter and almond oil, along with locally grown calendula petals and "Battle Zone," which was created for people with oily skin that tends to break out.
"Right now, I am personally pretty crazy about 'ELO,' which is a blend of eucalyptus, lavender and orange essential oils, in a luxurious soap that incorporates organic kefir instead of goat's milk," she says. "I also make body butter, which is extremely popular, and lip balm—because we need it!"
And Harris truly loves being able to create nourishing skincare products.
"Soapmaking is a thrilling combination of chemistry, math, art, passion and magic. I love every aspect of it," she says.
She is also extremely fond of her customers, many of whom have been with her since Little Mama Products began.
"The thing that makes me happiest of all is when someone will come in and tell me how their skin or their child's skin has become completely happy since they started using my products," says Harris. "That is my real bottom line."
Little Mama Products can be found nearly year-round at Roadrunner Park Farmer's Market, 3502 E. Cactus Rd., Phoenix. Check the company website, LittleMamaProducts.com for the schedule and/or to place an order.
