Now that so much of our lives are "lived" online. What, if anything, will be left behind of our physical existence?
If you haven't already watched filmmaker Gemma Green-Hope's touching tribute to her recently deceased grandmother, take a moment to do so, you won't regret it. In it, Green-Hope uses an emotional compendium of the physical remnants of her grandmother's existence to give us an idea of the type of person she was and the kind of life she lived.
Books, photographs, letters, journals, a blue bike, a pretty knife...
It's beautiful.
We will all, inevitably, leave behind random and not-so-random items one day. And after watching Green-Hope's tribute, I couldn't help but wonder how different this inevitably heartbreaking "sorting" of possessions will look for my generation now that so much of our lives are "lived" online. What, exactly, will our loved ones sort through? And will it even come close to recreating an accurate representation of our lives?
Take myself, for example. One of my passions is photography. I have tens of thousands of photos that I've taken so far over the years, but take a guess at how many of my photographs I have hanging on the walls in my home?
Five. And they aren't even my favorites (or my best).
Granted, I've printed perhaps a dozen more that I've never gotten around to framing, and I honestly do intend to print and hang more, but for the sake of argument, let's round out that number to about twenty hard copies of my personal photos currently in my home.
So, if I were to die tomorrow (God forbid), there would only be twenty photos to physically "sort" through. Twenty. Out of thousands.
Now, I would like to think that by the time I die (which will hopefully not be for many, many years), there will be people I leave behind who would like very much to have the ability, as well as the opportunity, to "sort" through the tens of thousands of photos I took over my lifetime. After all, my photography is a big part of my life. It's how I choose to express myself. It could (in theory) tell someone a lot about the type of person I was.
Take. for example, the American nanny/street photographer Vivian Maier, who left behind over 100,000 negatives of her work. She never married and had no children or close friends. But based solely on the personal accounts of the few that did know her as well as intense review of her immense body of work, she is described thusly:
She was eccentric, strong, heavily opinionated, highly intellectual, and intensely private. She wore a floppy hat, a long dress, wool coat, and men's shoes and walked with a powerful stride. With a camera around her neck whenever she left the house, she would obsessively take pictures, but never showed her photos to anyone. An unabashed and unapologetic original.
Unlike Maier (with whom I am in no way equating myself), all of my photographic "negatives" as well as those of most modern photographers, exist almost exclusively in the digital realm.
Let's assume that digital remnants such as photos are accessible and that loved ones will be able to "sift" through them, will the fact that there is nothing to hold or touch change how we think about and grieve for the deceased? Will our lives seem somehow less real? Will the sorting experience seem less emotionally visceral? And if so, what impact will that have on the grieving process in general?
What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

DeLange, A., & Neeleman, J. (2004, December). The Effect of the September 11 Terrorist Attacks on Suicide and Deliberate Self-Harm: A Time Trend Study. Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 34(4), 439-447. Retrieved July 17, 2009, doi:10.1521/suli.34.4.439.53744
Suicide rates may be affected by world news. Our objective was to investigate the possible impact of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on suicidal behavior in the Netherlands. There was evidence of an increase in rates of suicide and deliberate self-harm in the weeks immediately following the attacks. These findings contrast with Durkheim's (1897) original suggestion that suicide rates decline in times of war and outside threat but are in line with findings of increases in suicidal behavior after media coverage of lethal violence.

For Sale
This 142-acre property in Johnson City, Texas, is more than just a home; it's one steeped in presidential history.
According to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com, President Lyndon B. Johnson purchased this parcel in 1963, one week after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. At the time, it was 800 acres. The website notes that this was Johnson's vacation home, one that insulated him from the press. His main residence was a 330-acre ranch on the Pedernales River in central Texas.
The owners of the vacation home, an artist and his family, are selling it for $2,800,000. The property, 377 Shiloh Road, has a 1,800-foot elevation with 360-degree views. The 2,840-square-foot main house has been updated, offering three stone fireplaces and several porches, including one with a shower. It has three bedrooms, two baths, and a kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances.
Other structures on the ranch include a 12,000-square-foot hangar-turned-gallery and a 1,140-square-foot ranch house.

Business Trip, NYC or Connecticut
At Joshua's Limousine, we understand the value of superb customer service and client comfort. We are trusted by some of the top resort hotels in Connecticut and NYC… and service all regional airports in the area. Our goal is to make your passenger experience exceptional. For more info and to make a reservation please go to our reservation page.
The odd thing about business travel is to some extent, it is a mixture of what you know the very strange. The business you are going out to do you know how to do. Whether it discussing a new business project, developing a software product or attending a seminar or conference, the business part of your business trip is probably not the hardest part.
But if you are new to business travel, there are some aspects to it that are very different from travel for leisure and ways to prepare for the trip that will make or break whether it goes well or you come home frustrated in your efforts. Just like any business venture, the keyword for success in this venture is preparation. Above all, have your business program well organized and ready to use when you get there. If you are giving a presentation, have it finished, the PowerPoint slides prepared and tested and all of your equipment ready to go when you set out. The sheer fact that you are prepared for the work you are going to this new city to do will relieve your tension tremendously.
But preparation doesn't stop just in planning for a successful business effort. Do your homework about the place you are going and how you will handle the trip once you get there. Here are some key things you should think well in advance about to assure your trip goes well.
* Your plane flight. As soon as you know your destination, book that flight. The earlier you nail that down, the more you know you will have a flight and that your choice of seats is assured. This can make business travel by air much less stressful.
* Accommodations. Obviously, book your hotel well in advance to assure you will have a room when you get there. Only in situations where you are not sure where you will end up should you put this off. The last thing you want would be to need a room at 11 p.m. and everything in town is booked up.
* Extraordinary needs. If you have medicines or other needs that are going to require special planning, get out ahead of that too. If there are business needs you will require upon your arrival, you can ship things ahead for yourself so that equipment is waiting in your destination office when you arrive.
* Dealing with security. Remember that homeland security at airports is tight and the rules change from time to time. You can usually find the current restrictions and ways the airlines will allow you to travel on the internet. By knowing this in advance, you can avoid a lot of heartache when you get to the airport.
* Money. You don't want to have wads of cash with you when you travel but think ahead about how much cash and other monetary needs you should have. Travel with plenty of credit at your disposal. Emergency situations on the road can be defrayed with good credit or you can find yourself in a real jam without it. If you are traveling overseas, become familiar with the monetary system you will be using there.
* Things you take for granted. Little things mean a lot. If you have creature comforts you need in the hotel room, think about them and pack such things so you can feel as at home as possible. Something as small as your favorite pillow or a scented candle to relax you can make all the difference in your ability to rest and be ready for business the next day.
By doing plenty of good planning, you can assure yourself that you have what you need on the trip and nothing more. This will become more natural as you travel more. But take the time to prepare well and prepare early so as you venture forth on this big adventure, you know you have covered every base before you left home.

Jenny (Mrs. Ng Muk Kah) Sideparty Hong Kong
by John M. MacFarlane 2011
Jenny Sideparty (Mrs. Ng Muk Kah).
Ships at sea for some time develop rust patches that need to be painted while in port.The hull would be painted by crew members working from the waterline on rafts and staging or from some of the ship's boats. It was always a messy job with the risk of paint spatter on uniform clothing. No one enjoyed this work. It was standard operating procedure for most Commonwealth naval ships to engage Jenny to clean the ship, paint and collect garbage.
Jenny was a diminutive Chinese lady, impeccably turned out, who built a reputation over the years as the 'go to' contractor in Hong Kong for services to Commonwealth naval vessels. She had a team of 20-30 'girls' who chipped paint, shone brass and painted the side of the ship. They wore traditional Chinese working clothing and woven straw hats. Jenny insisted that the girls were paid but there were rumors that they were at best indentured workers. Jenny was very honest in her dealings with visiting ships and lavished attention and gifts on the skippers and other key members of the crew. As a child I was the recipient of gifts from Jenny who only knew me from stories told to her by my father. She and her side party earned their keep selling soft drinks to the ships' companies and accepting all forms of scrap not wanted on board.
Jenny Sideparty (Mrs. Ng Muk Kah).
Business card of Jenny (Mrs. Ng Muk Kah).
Older naval ships had a lot of brass in conspicuous places. Work parties were detailed to make them all shine brightly using a can of Brasso, a rag and plenty of elbow grease. Many pieces of equipment had little identifier brass plates on them. Duty sailors in Hong Kong would personally hire Jenny's workers to clean and shine them making their task effortless. This often backfired on those sailors however as the girls would find and clean many pieces of brass that had been previously painted over. After departure from Hong Kong this created new daily work as the expanded brass inventory had to be shined (at least until it could be sereptitiously painted over later on).
"Behind her perpetual great gold-toothed grin, Jenny complained: "I velly chocker. All time work in sampan. No learn to lead or lite." ("chocker" = "fed up".) But what she lacked in education she made up more than a hundredfold with her immense and impressive experience in ship husbandry, her unfailing thoroughness and apparently inexhaustible energy, her unquestionable loyalty and integrity, her infectious enthusiasm and her innate cheerfulness." (London Times Obituaries)
The working authorization for Jenny Sideparty to Work on a naval vessel.
"Jenny's huge collection of photographs – too big, she said, to put into albums – she stored in a large envelope. They dated back to the mid-20th century and showed her in the ships she served, with officers and men. In two thick albums she kept her letters of reference, all without exception filled with praise and affection. One was a commendation by the Duke of Edinburgh for her work on the Royal Yacht Britannia during a visit to Hong Kong in 1959. A Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was presented to her in 1938 by the captain of HMS Devonshire and someone else presented an engraved bar; "HMS Leander 1975"".(London Times Obituaries)
She was born on a sampan in Causeway Bay Hong Kong in 1917. Her mother, Jenny One, "provided serviceable sampans for the general use of the Royal Navy, and was useful for changing money". She was awarded the British Empire Medal in 1980. Jenny told my father that her children had all been put through English Universities. Jenny died in Hong Kong on February 18, 2009, aged 92.

Some of this menu I prepped the day before we actually ate it, so that the three-course meal could go blissfully smooth. For starters I made the passionfruit cheesecake. This was from a Nigel Slater recipe which you can find here The cheesecake tastes much better when chilled for several hours, so it's much better if you can do it the day before. I simply served this with a ready-made raspberry coulis and presented it using a heart shaped cutter. As presentation is so important when serving food, I always enjoy using cutters when I am presenting an important meal. The cutters I use are these Judge Heart Cutters and I use them in every romantic meal I make. I also love the heart tray from Sabichi to serve up sandwiches and soup.
Next I moved on to preparing the courgette, cheddar & potato soup. This way I could just reheat the next day when we had our three course-meal. This was a recipe from Good Food, you can find it here
My photo of my main does make everything look a little more dark than it actually was, although I do confess I like my fillet steak well done, I absolutely hate the sight of blood, so it has to be well done or I can't eat it. So before hand I made my creamy slow-cooked garlic mash potatoes in the morning. I got this recipe from here. Although I altered the recipe slightly and omitted the sour cream and just used Philadelphia Spring Onion & black pepper. It was the most delicious mashed potato I have EVER tasted.
Once the mashed potato was cooking away in the slow cooker, I could get on with making my port jus and my shallot puree. I simply chopped a whole bag of shallots and sweated them in a frying pan on the minimum heat for several hours to caramelise them. This way I could just split the amount and use them for the two recipes. The shallot puree recipe I got from here and the port jus recipe I got from here. I then simply served the meal with the sauteed mushrooms and a sprig of rosemary and the caramelised port onions for decoration.
The preparation I done beforehand meant that when it came to serve up, everything was stress-free, and we could really savour the meal. Thanks for this challenge Superbreak as I think this could well be the most delicious meal I have ever cooked.
Of course, preparation is always key to the perfect romantic moment and we are lucky as when it comes to finding the perfect place to stay Superbreak has done all the hard work for us - have a look http://www.superbreak.com/short_breaks/valentines_weekend_breaks.htm

Newsletter 2017
Dear friends,
Reaching the beginning of the new academic year, I am very happy to address you through this new communication channel of the Centre of Theology, Philosophy and Media Theory: a Newsletter. You have probably noticed that the word 'new' occurs in the previous sentence many times. This is because our Centre is still relatively young. Hence, wherever we set foot on, it is a new field and terrain. Despite this essential newness of our activities and of our very existence, we have many news to talk about. For example, we hosted two successful international expert seminars in the last year. We organized five interdisciplinary roundtables with talented Czech junior scholars. We welcomed distinguished guests from Cambridge, Glasgow, Chicago and even from South Africa. We attended a number of conferences and presented papers across Europe. Last but not least, we published in internationally recognized journals such as Modern Theology, The Journal for Youth and Theology and other journals (e.g. AUC Theologica). Many new things happened, indeed. Even more new things are about to come. Let me mention just one. In fall 2017, our first junior postdoctoral fellow will arrive in Prague. Details about our new colleagues and their projects at the Centre are, of course, included.
Dear readers, I guess that at this point you might be wandering what 'new' the Centre of Theology, Philosophy and Media will bring in the forthcoming semester. I hope you will enjoy this newsletter and, on behalf of the Centre' staff, I hope to meet you soon.
Kind Regards,
Martin Koci

China knew it would be marketing $3 billion of new dollar bonds in the midst of a trade confrontation and escalation in interest rates engineered by its top rival, the U.S. Officials might not have reckoned on selling amid a sudden investor flight from risk, reported Bloomberg (US).
In what's set to be an even bigger demonstration of China's pull in the international bond market, initial signs showed little hit to buyer sentiment from the biggest sell-off in world stocks since February and a retreat from credit and emerging markets.
China is selling $1.5 billion of five-year notes at 30 basis points over Treasuries, while the size for the 10-year notes was set at $1 billion at a spread of 45 basis points, according to people familiar with the deal who asked not to be identified. That's wider than where China's 2027 dollar bonds were indicated on Thursday, but orders for the three-tranche issue total more than $17 billion so far.
The debut 30-year offering will be $500 million at 70 basis points over Treasuries.
"The bond issuance is more like a vote of confidence in China's creditworthiness," said Ziyun Wang, partner and senior portfolio manager at DeepBlue Global Investment Ltd.
Market Strains
The sovereign's latest offering comes amid a jump in benchmark 10-year Treasury yields to the highest since 2011, which in turn contributed to equity benchmarks tumbling around the world this week. The Shanghai Composite Index was down more than 5 percent, and Japan's Topix Index lost more than 3 percent, in Thursday trading.
There were signs of stress in the credit world, too. The cost of insuring Chinese sovereign bonds against default for five years jumped to a three-month high. And Chinese investment-grade bond spreads have widened in response, according to traders.
When China resumed sales of dollar bonds last year after a hiatus of more than 13 years, market players saw it in part as a move to reduce offshore borrowing costs for corporate Chinese issuers. That hasn't really happened, however.
2017 Peak
"Last year's offering proved to be the high-water mark in sentiment, and China's blue chip SOEs have underperformed U.S. credit this year," said Owen Gallimore, head of credit strategy at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group. "This year's deal may not help reverse that."
Even so, Angus To, deputy head of research at ICBC International, expects the new bonds to attract strong orders, because they offer an attractive yield pickup over the existing ones.
China sold $1 billion each of five and 10-year bonds in late October 2017. The two tranches, which were priced at premiums of 15 and 25 basis points, were indicated at 26 and 41 basis points at 1:51 p.m. in Hong Kong, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Regular issuance of U.S. dollar bonds by the sovereign would still help establish a reference yield curve for state-owned companies. That may be helpful to Chinese issuers as they seek to refinance some $104.2 billion of dollar notes set to mature through 2019, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"The fact that the China sovereign bond is coming today as planned against the very weak market backdrop -- with U.S. equities tumbling overnight means demand is very likely well anchored," said Anne Zhang, executive director for fixed income, currencies and commodities at the private banking arm of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Team 2 consisting of Amy, Mike, LeShawna, Tyler, Bridgette, and Marissa. Chris then reveals that he has gone insanely mad, and that the main prize the 12 contestants will be fighting for: is their own lives! The first challenge is getting the key to the kitchen.. which is located inside the body of one member of each team, later turning out to being Dakota and Tyler.

It ended up being a close race to the finish, but LeShawna reached the door first and won it for Team 2!

Poor guy.
Episode 2

Chris then announces that he caught all of their parents, and forced them to do their first immunity challenge in order to save them. there would be five rounds of a contestant from each team choosing a mystery drink without puking afterwards. It was really close but Katie won the tiebreaker sending Team 2 to vote someone out. The vote was very close between either Marissa or Tyler going. But in a vote of 3-2, Marissa became the first person eliminated, and was killed by being stuck in a pipe filled with nasty rodents.

Stirling v Montrose match reaction
Stirling Albion boss Greig McDonald dedicated Saturday's 3-1 win over Montrose to loyal fan Kevin Croall, who died at the end of January at the age of just 42.
Montrose took the lead through Stephen McNally but goals from top scorer Jordan White, Mark Ferry and Stephen Day earned the Binos a deserved victory in a match we dominated.
McDonald said: "We lost one of our own recently and Kevin was laid to rest this week. The players and myself want to dedicate this win to Kevin. His daughter Hailey helps out at the club as well and hopefully this was a fitting tribute.
"That's probably the best performance we have had since I took over. Some of the moves we put together were fantastic – we scored three and we could have scored six or seven. Scott Davidson can't believe he didn't get a goal!
"We are under a bit of pressure being at the bottom of the league and the guys showed a lot of character to come back – I thought we dominated the second half."
Montrose boss Stuart Garden said: "Our performance was poor and Stirling Albion deserved to win. We had a chance to go second in the table but we didn't pass the ball well and their centre-halves handled Garry Wood well."

The Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic technique is useful for a variety of chiropractic conditions.
What is the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Technique?
The Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic technique is considered one of the upper cervical chiropractic treatments. It was created by chiropractor Roy Sweat. The Atlas Orthogonal Technique "uses a percussion instrument" to adjust the "subluxation of the atlas vertebra". Based on BJ Palmer's teachings, who was responsible for advocating the "Hole-In-One version of spinal adjustment", the Atlas Orthogonal technique is generally used by "straight chiropractors". The atlas vertebra is at the top of the spine, in the cervical area.1 The "Hole-In-One" technique adjusts the atlas vertebra, and it gets its name from the implication "that a perfect adjustment in the upper cervical region of the neck would cause everything else to 'fall into place'".2 There are other upper cervical treatments, such as the NUCCA protocol (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association), developed by Dr. Ralph Gregory and Dr. John Grostic (the Grostic Technique). NUCCA is also concerned with the atlas subluxation complex (ASC).3
The "Neck Secret"
There are many Atlas chiropractic centers in the United States. According to Dr. Donald Liebell, the Atlas Orthogonal procedure, which moves the "Atlas Vertebra (top bone of the neck) into better position" can alleviate many conditions "by relieving nerve compression in the neck". The procedure itself is "safe and painless". By adjusting the atlas vertebra, the goal is to center the weight of the head on the neck by reducing the "structural/mechanical imbalance, which is causing nerve compression, body imbalance and wear and tear". When there is misalignment, it is said that nerve impulses are blocked or altered, and repositioning can allow the "body's natural healing process" to begin. The procedure actually uses "calculations from digital mathematical x-ray analysis" so that the chiropractor can know the "exact position of the atlas vertebra". The formula calculated tells the practitioner how much the atlas has shifted from a normal and balanced position so that corrections can be performed. The Atlas Orthogonal instrument is calibrated to the individual patient, and it "applies a precisely directed, split-second sound vibration on a tiny spot on the side of your neck (just below the ear)". The repositioning is gentle. It is Dr. Roy Sweat who invented the "Atlas Percussion 'sound wave' adjusting instrument in 1970".4
Atlas Orthogonal vs. Other Upper Cervical Procedures
The main difference between NUCCA and Atlas Orthogonal is that NUCCA practitioners use their hands and Atlas Orthogonal uses the instrument.5 Another upper cervical adjustment that uses an instrument is the Blair technique.6 There is also a Kale "Brain Stem" method for upper cervical correction, which is performed on "the specialized 'knee-chest' table (the patient's position is with knees on the floor and chest on the treatment table)."7 With Atlas Orthogonal (AO), the Sweat Percussion instrument is used after "3 main X-rays" are "taken with the patient's head clamped". The AO procedure itself is so gentle, the patient may not even realize it occurred. After treatment, therefore, before and after positioning is compared.8 How the AO instrument works is that inside there is a solenoid that "creates a magnetically activated impact on the end of the stylus", with very little force ("as little as 3 pounds"). It is a painless and precise adjustment that is performed within the body's "normal range of motion", as the head support allows the doctor to position the neck and head "to reverse the misalignment correctly, without spinal 'manipulation'". As a result, an AO adjustment is said to reduce nerve irritation and reactivate the "normal transmission of nerve messages sent from the brain to affected parts of the body". After the procedure, patients may feel a reduction in nerve pressure, and there are "different cycles of repair". Patients might report feeling relaxed or tired, although some might "experience some muscle stiffness in a different area of their body, while others may feel light-headed or occasionally a headache at first". These are considered signs that healing has started. It could take weeks for chronic pain to decrease. Ultimately, it is hoped that the atlas ends up "'holding' a good position". With the right treatment, patients should feel some relief within 90 days.9
Testimonials about AO
Atlas Orthogonal has been featured on television on "The Doctors", NBC News", and "CBS News". Talk show host Montel Williams has touted the effectiveness of AO as "the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me". He has said that he has experienced relief from MS neuralgic pain. After AO, he is "walking differently" and his "pain is less". He has also said, "I have already regained strength in my left leg". Former football player Michael Strahan used to have headaches, but they have been relieved since receiving AO treatments. Actress Eva LaRue had been in an accident where she was hit in the head, leading to shoulder and neck pain. She described AO as "a miracle". She said, "I'd been living with a certain amount of pain every day for about ten years and suddenly I walked out of the office with not a speck of pain". AO has been praised by chiropractors as well as some medical doctors. Dr. Stanley H. Block, MD, approved of Atlas Orthogonal, saying, "I whole-heartedly endorse this diagnostic and treatment method", which should be considered for patients with headaches and neck pain. Another medical doctor, Betty Gessel, an internist, said, "I am astonished with the help I have gotten with Atlas Orthogonal".10
Uses for AO
The Atlas Orthogonal treatment is used for a variety of conditions, include multiple sclerosis, arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines and headaches, stress, chronic pain, asthma, athletic and auto accident injuries, herniated discs, back and neck pain, scoliosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, arm and leg numbness, seizures, sinus problems and allergies, dizziness, sciatica, Bell's Palsy and trigeminal neuralgia, and Horner's syndrome.11 Subluxations, or misalignments, "are often deceiving". Some chiropractors, such as Brian D. Jenkins, believe that even though symptoms may show up in the legs, shoulders, arms, or lower back, the pain is really caused by the neck (cervical) region. When the atlas is misaligned, the head tilts and the body tries to straighten the head, but that leads to stress in the spine, pelvis, hips, knees, ankles and shoulders.12 The Atlas Orthogonal adjustment has been used for over 40 years. Dr. Jared Kohler is another practitioner of the AO method. He trained with Dr. Roy Sweat, Dr. Daniel Lewis, and Dr. Matt Sweat, and "is one of only 3 Board Certified Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractors in the Seattle area". According to his website, "When the atlas is subluxated…it places stress on the spinal cord/brain stem and many other nerves" and this results in "pain and poor health". Trauma, which creates misalignment, can be caused by falls, slips, car acccidents, sport injuries, and blows to the head. Micro-traumas, including poor posture and sleeping habits and incorrect carrying and lifting, may also trigger misalignment. These traumas are said to cause dysfunction in the nervous system. Legs may also have different lengths, or at least appear to be different, due to the misalignment. Patients might also have scoliosis, decreased curves in their neck, or other changes in alignment. AO is meant to correct the subluxation, to resolve dysfunction and pain, and fixing the subluxation is considered of "vital importance to overall health".13

All mixed up
There is only so much charity shopping you can do, so in order to get our weekly vintage fix, we drove down to the town of Geel, just under 60 kilometers from where we are, where there's a delightful shop selling all manner of vintage and retro goodies, called Expo 58.
The dress I was wearing was picked up at a charity shop retro event back in 2014, when I plucked it from a mannequin after I'd fallen in love on the spot with its groovy pattern.
It is handmade and fully lined, and it's got a little slit at the top, which is not serving any purpose at all since it shows more of the same fabric. The skirt has got an inverted front pleat and there's a self fabric belt with a round blue buckle.
There are two reasons which keep me from wearing it to death. One is that it's cotton and needs ironing. The second is its rather annoying high collar which starts bothering me after a couple of hours' wear.
In order to break up the monotony of the pattern, lovely though it is, I added a white pearly brooch and a pink double string of pearls which belonged to my Great Aunt Josephine.
I think this three quarter sleeve mustard cardigan is perfect with it, adding a contrasting colour. Wearing a cardigan means I can add another brooch, and I chose a large, early plastic one with carved flowers.
I'm taking tentative steps towards pattern mixing, following the example of the queens of pattern mixing, Beate and Goody, by wearing a black and white checked jacket on top. It came without its belt, but needed one to give it more shape, so I added a fuchsia pink belt and pinned a large fuchsia flower corsage to its lapel, both tying in with the pink in the dress.
Burgundy Clarks shoes and a small reddish brown handbag were the final touches.
Oh, and did you notice my watch strap? The watch's original strap needed replacing when I suddenly remembered this strap, part of a lot of original 1970s watch straps found at a charity shop about two years ago.
Back to our little trip! We have been to the shop before, the last time was in December, when I blogged about it here, and we never leave the shop empty handed.
Lovely owner Stefanie is one of my readers too, which I'm really chuffed about!
There was a rail of vintage clothing in the shop's entrance, and I'd already chosen an armful of dresses to try on, when Stefanie noted all the commotion and came out to say hello.
Three of the dresses came home with me, and I'll be making a point of wearing the two summer dresses before the summer is out.
The third dress, a red plaid long-sleeved one, was actually made in Belgium. Look at that lovely label! I didn't like its buttons, and have already changed them, so that it's ready to wear. If the weather keeps going downhill the way it does, this may be very soon ...
Other things we bought are:
A delightful yellow wicker basket.
A box of stain remover, to be put into our kitchen display cabinet with our other vintage packaging.
Two paper grocery bags advertising La Vache Qui Rit (a.k.a. The Laughing Cow) and Spa mineral water.
We have framed them and hung them up in our kitchen.
Finally, a mystery object made from sturdy carton, featuring two Scottie dogs. I'd not idea what it was until Stefanie told me it was a backboard for hanging a daily tear-off calendar.
Sunday brought a mix of clouds and some sunshine, with a couple of showers thrown in.
We stayed at home and I continued with my mending. The upside of the unseasonable weather is that I have actually reached the bottom of my mending basket. Yes, you have read that right! I even finished shortening the lining of a winter skirt which had been waiting since, well, last winter!
This is one of the other things which had been languishing in my mending pile.
Right, that's a funky piece of fabric, but what is it?
I won't leave you in suspense for long: it's a maxi skirt!
It was far too long, so needed shortening, and as it is lined, I needed to shorten that as well. Quite a job, as I've been doing it all by hand, having yet to master my Mum's sewing machine.
Isn't that print absolutely fabulous?
I did some more pattern mixing by wearing it with an orange polka dot shirt. Not very adventurous, I know, but I'm still learning ...
On top, a blue linen mix jacket I charity shopped a couple of months ago.
Oh, and the fringy suede shoes were a present from my friend Ann.
We met on the bus (one of the perks of public transport) and she lives nearby, and last Friday was her very first visit to Dove Cottage, where she joined me for coffee and cake and a catch up!
Oh, and linking to Patti's Visible Monday!

You're doing brilliantly with the pattern mixing, I love the two houndstooth prints together. It always looks so good on other people but I just can't bring myself to do it - I've tried twice over the last week but each time I just didn't feel right and had to get changed again! Love the groovy dress - could you just alter the neckline to get more wear out of it? xReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! I'm not really a confident pattern mixer, but I'm trying to be more adventurous. Will see how it works out. I do think the standup collar goes really well with the dress, so I'll just keep on wearing it in little doses ... xxxDelete
Oh Ann wonderfull findings. You have such a good hand for charity vintage shopping. This skirt is stunning, you are right. You look amazing in all this clothes, but the skirt is really wonderful.ReplyDelete
XO <3 TinaReplies
Thank you Tina! I'm glad I've finally made the effort to shorten the skirt ... xxxDelete

A wise move of you & Jos to visit that lovely vintage shop. That first dress is gorgeous, I love the high neck and the bodice detail and I adore printed cotton - I quite like ironing (weirdo!)
Don't those buttons transform that dress? Great bit of DIY! xxxReplies
I actually had to think of you when I first laid eyes on the skirt. It's got your name on it if I ever get tired of it. I seem to be buying more and more printed cotton items lately. Something to do with hot flushes, I guess ... xxxDelete
I love all your outfits, all of them are fantastic colours and patterns.ReplyDelete
One upside of the weather is the time spent catching up on things, I've been doing that too.
Dove cottage looks lovely and cosy and I love the coffee set. xxxReplies
Thank you Sally! I'm glad you love the coffee set. It's vintage 1960s, from a Belgian pottery called Boch, and one of my pride and joys! xxxDelete

Thank you Beate! It feels good to know that my pattern mixing attempts are appreciated by the queen! xxxDelete
I love the print of the dress you wore, it's almost half Art Deco and half 60s psychedelic! And talking of psychedelic, that skirt is incredible! What a pattern. xxReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Cate! You're right, the dress's print does lean a bit to Art Deco. xxxDelete
Excellent pattern mixing-the hounds tooth jacket is lovely. The watchbands are so very mod-love them.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Goody! It took me more than a year to actually use one of the watch straps. They look so wonderful on their cards. I actually had a similar watch strap when I was in my teens. xxxDelete

I love the way bloggers all draw inspiration from each other. Goody is mine when it comes to accessorizing. I knew Vix would love that maxi too...ReplyDeleteReplies
That's what I love too, Mim. And nobody does accessorizing like Goody! I knew Vix would love the maxi the moment I laid eyes on it! xxxDelete
Those are brilliant pattern mixing experiments, Ann!! The first dress is awesome, I adore the print and style. I think such a busy print doesn't even need much ironing. Here, I said it, I am a lazy bum and rarely iron anything. I love the mustard cardi with your dress, and that jacket is perfect. Stefanie is a gorgeous lady, and your new dresses are fantastic! And the maxi skirt outfit is mind blowing! Just beautiful everything - colors, patterns, shapes, details... Great job!!ReplyDelete
How sweet to meet a friend on the bus. I miss such happy coincidences. Lots of love!Replies
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's trying to avoid ironing at all costs! Stefanie will be so flattered when she reads your comment! Oh, and I've actually quite a few "bus friends" ... xxxDelete
Your pattern mixing is great, those combos you have chosen really do go together. Totally agree with your choice of new buttons for that dress, it looks so much nicer. Can't wait to see the other new dresses. Oh those funky watch straps are fab, so many lovely things! xxxReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Claire! I've already worn the other two dresses, so they'll be on the blog soon! xxxDelete

It's a proven brand, which is why Sony and Marvel keep coming back to "Spider-Man." Three different incarnations of the franchise in 15 years? He's Wolverine, with a paper-boy-next-door appeal, no matter who is playing the spider-bitten webslinger this time around.
Reviews have been generally good. It earned a 73 on the nuanced, fine-graded metacritic scale, and "Citizen Kane" marks on the "rotten or not" simpler Rottentomatoes system. I'm not much of a fan, but I'm in the minority, though not as small a minority as the fanboys would like.
But how much will the Tom Holland/no-name-director "Spider-Man: Homecoming" earn on this, it's opening weekend? Hitting 4400 screens at once, not so long that it'll limit the number of screenings each day (though 2:22 is pushing it).
Box Office Mojo is predicting a robust post-July 4 $110 million opening.
The Box Office Guru is figuring $102 million, when the last showing Sunday night has been tallied. Word of mouth probably won't hurt it, as audiences are being given something a little different — no "origin" story this time. And as summer movies are calculated thrill rides, the big effect scenes should play — even if most of them are just like every other comic book movie's action beats.
But with most of the summer's other over-sequeled franchises under-performing, one does wonder if these predictions aren't setting the bar too high. Is there pent up demand for more Robert Downey Jr., a new Spidey (again) and Michael Keaton as a genuinely scary small-business owner/arms dealer/Vulture bad guy? We'll see.
"Baby Driver" is figure will hold a lot of audience, even if "Homecoming" sucks most of the oxygen out of the cinemas.
"Beguiled" could call out of the top ten. "The Big Sick" is opening somewhat wider and could cash in as alternative programming.

Another pair of prams have arrived. This time from Isdihara who has this to say:-
116. "Sending along a scanned image of the two prams I tatted during TIAS 2013. I kept up with the releases through to the end, but set aside both baby buggies at the final installment because I didn't want the fun to end! (Kinda crazy logic, I know.)
I had so much fun with this TIAS! Thank you so much for all the work that you put into these annual events. Don't know how I ever managed to make it through January doldrums without TIAS.
Big hugs"

What Slows Down Weight Loss
We all get very excited when we start losing weight and see results within first two weeks of following a strict routine of diet and exercise. However, over a period of time we notice no further changes. This is because the weight loss process is not as active as it was earlier. Here are some reasons why your metabolism slows and you stop shedding the pounds.
Your posture is not right
Many people don't know that your calorie loss suffers when you are slouched or not allowing proper intake of oxygen while working out. Stand tall and do your moves slowly rather than rushing through your routine. By correcting your form, you would be able burn extra calories per session.
Don't go for workout when thirsty
If the water quantity in your body is low, you will get tired easily and the workout will seem much tougher. Sip at least 15 ounces of water 2 hours before starting the work out so that you can remain energetic throughout the process.
Don't read while on a treadmill
Instead of reading while being on the treadmill, listen to high intensity music and burn more than 15% calories in each session. Avoid using cell phones or reading a book as it distracts you and your intensity becomes too slow.
You don't like your workout
If you don't enjoy the physical activity that you are indulged in, you will not be able to gain too much out of it. Imagine being forced to run on a treadmill each day? How long can you keep doing it? Rather than forcing yourself to something you don't like, take up a routine that you enjoy so that you can willfully commit to it.

Abstract: The theory of Quantum Chromo Dynamics QCD reproduces the strong interactionat distances much shorter than the size of the nucleon. At larger distancescales, the generation of hadron masses and confinement cannot yet be derivedfrom first principles on basis of QCD. The PANDA experiment at FAIR willaddress the origin of these phenomena in controlled environments. Beams ofantiprotons together with a multi-purpose and compact detection system willprovide unique tools to perform studies of the strong interaction. This will beachieved via precision spectroscopy of charmonium and open-charm states, anextensive search for exotic objects such as glueballs and hybrids, in-mediumand hypernuclei spectroscopy, and more. An overview is given of the physicsprogram of the PANDA collaboration.

It was a long time coming, and a pretty nasty flight to Heathrow via Detroit. But Paola made it at last, complete with the Settlement Visa stuck firmly in her passport. We overcame Worldbridge and their incompetence and got the documents back. In the end. Now it is time to explore. Ringwood first. Then Bournemouth. I have a very cool trip to London planned for our anniversary.
The stress of immigration left behind. I've loaded Skype up with the subscriptions we need to keep in touch with the other side of the Atlantic. Her browser is loaded up with job sites. I've bought her three driving lessons on Groupon for the bargain price of £12 – all those years of driving in Mexico City and she never learned to reverse park. Her emergency stop should be superb though. Even if it is known simply as 'stopping' in Mexico. My homesick heart has company. And my Flickr account has a new source of material. Yesterdays shots around Poole Quay took me past the 8,000 photo mark.

FX:USDJPY U.S. Dollar / Japanese Yen
39 views
A fairly steep trendline going up on USDJPY 15M timeframe. Should the trendline break we probably wouldn't go short until the price clears the 1.2411 level with a strong bearish candle aiming for a target of around 1.2370 or at least the trendline just above it. The overall bias for this pair is long though so that should be kept in mind.
Related Ideas
I like how you are just using price bars to make your analysis. It is very clear what you are looking for. Would you consider posting WHEN you see the entry signal happen? That would be great for all of us to see when an idea is "actionable" instead of just "brewing". Thanks for posting your charts and look forward to seeing more from you.
ClearEdgeFX timwest
Thanks for your feedback. I certainly will post entry signals on higher time frame charts. The 15M charts are just for spotting potential opportunities for those who prefer to trade on short-term and intraday timeframes. In this particular case the conservative approach of aiming for the lower trendline would have netted out 20 pips. If I happen to catch a good opportunity to enter on 15M charts I will post it, but usually I take trades on 4H and up.

I have a pretty yellow cactus blooming today, Parodia schlosseri (Parodia erubescens), which is native to Uruguay. I think that's what it is, anyway - it didn't come with a tag. Whatever it is, it's pretty.
The bright red stigma in the center is so striking.
Each flower lasts a couple days, opening in the morning when it gets direct sunlight and closing in the evening.
So pretty.

Jeremy Vine to replace Matthew Wright on Channel 5
Jeremy Vine will become the presenter of Channel 5's new daily current affairs programme after the departure of Matthew Wright.
Wright announced last month that he was quitting The Wright Stuff, which he has presented since 2000.
The new look Channel 5 show will air from September with the show getting a new name for the first time in its 18-year history.
Vine will juggle his new role alongside his daily BBC Radio 2 show.
In a statement, Vine said: "Matthew Wright has built a brilliant show that's a big part of the British TV landscape.
"I'm delighted to be carrying on all the conversations he has started, with all the guests he's made me feel I know over the years.
"Radio 2 has a beautiful editorial overlap with the serious but accessible agenda of this show. I am proud to be Channel 5's choice to front it."
Wright spoke last month about why he was leaving and told the panel on Loose Women, "There's not a lot to say really other than the fact that, you know, better than most, the demands of getting up for a daytime show.
"I'm up at three o'clock in the morning these days and I go to bed at half seven.
"I've had 18 and a half years of it, Mrs Wright, we pass like ships in the night and you're looking around and thinking, at some point you've got to have a change."
Amol Rajan on Matthew Wright's departure
The Wright Stuff rated relatively well for the Channel, had a proven formula, and its longevity made it a key part of the Channel 5 brand. It also made noise on social media, and occasionally generated news and profile for the channel.
In the end, ITN won the right to broadcast the show. But the move was an uncomfortable one. Many of the staff who had long worked on the show were not brought over, and there were technical issues in the studio.
Over the past several months, the show has maintained its audience share, but away from the cameras there has been tension aplenty.
ITN is an outstanding international production company, with an exceptional record in News. The Wright Stuff is an entertaining chat show. It is certainly driven by the News and presented by a former tabloid hack; but its jovial and fun spirit struggled to make the transition into a new culture.

From June 17–28, 2018, the Albertus Magnus Center for Scholastic Studies, in partnership with the Monks of Norcia, will hold its seventh summer theology program in Norcia, Italy.
This summer's program will be "Human Suffering and Divine Providence: Thomas's Commentary on the Book of Job." We will read and discuss St. Thomas Aquinas's Commentary on Job, considered one of the saint's finest Biblical commentaries, dedicated to a close analysis of an Old Testament book that has always been a favorite with preachers, moralists, and artists.
The affliction of just men is what seems especially to impugn divine Providence in human affairs. For although it seems irrational and contrary to Providence at first glance that good things sometimes happen to evil men, nevertheless this can be excused in one way or another by [invoking] divine compassion. But that the just are afflicted without cause seems to undermine totally the foundation of Providence. Thus the varied and grave afflictions of a specific just man called Job, perfect in every virtue, are proposed as a kind of theme for the question intended for discussion. (From Aquinas's Prologue)
This year, the program is pleased to welcome as a guest tutor Dr. Michael Sirilla, director of the graduate theology program at Franciscan University of Steubenville. Additionally, Fr. Thomas Crean, OP, of the Dominican priory in Leicester, England, and Fellow of the AMCSS, will be joining us. Fr. Crean is currently teaching at Newman College, Ireland. Besides the daily seminars and lectures offered by the tutors, there will be a guest lecture by Fr. Benedict Nivakoff, OSB, Prior of the monastery, as well as Fr. Cassian Folsom, OSB, its founder. The two-week program culminates in an authentic scholastic disputation, moderated by one of the tutors.
In addition to the academic program, there is the opportunity to participate in the daily life of worship of the Benedictine monks who live and pray in the mountains overlooking the birthplace of SS. Benedict & Scholastica. Optional excursions include a trip to Orvieto, where St. Thomas lived while he was writing the Commentary on Job.
Participants are encouraged to plan for extra time before or after the program in order to explore Rome, the glorious foundation seat of the Church.
For more information, including costs and registration, visit the Summer Program details page.
The St. Albert the Great Center is dedicated to the revival of theology undertaken according to the mind and method of the great scholastics, and in particular, the work of St. Thomas Aquinas. All are welcome to apply, including graduate students, seminarians, clergy, and religious. The AMCSS will issue an official transcript with a grade for any who requests it.
