Jamie Foxx has admitted that living the celebrity lifestyle and appearing "fly" can often be too expensive as the heating bills for his pool and jacuzzi are shocking.
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' star has had a varied career since rising to fame over twenty years ago, and although he's a multi-millionaire he confesses living up to the celebrity lifestyle can be costly.
He said: "You want to be Beverly Hills, you want to be fly, so you get your pool on when people come round, so it's 80 degrees, 'Check the pool, check the Jacuzzi, it's 104' [degrees].
"But when you get that bill…next time they come over to my house it's freezing, ice cold. That thing is like two grand a month."
The 46-year-old actor – who has two daughters, Corinne and Annalise – worked as a stand-up comedian at nightclubs in during the early years of his career, and he's admits he sometimes ran into trouble.
He explained to The Sun newspaper: "One day when someone was messing with me in a club, this dude who was somewhat of a gangster said, 'Hey Foxx is someone messing with you?' and I said, 'As a matter of fact they are, there's the guy right there.'
"I was like a little girl and they sorted him out."
Jamie claims his "gangster" acquaintance then expected him to pay him back by getting him and his friends into all the clubs.
He said: "But then I owed him. So every time I went to the city it was, 'We are going into the club with you, right?' and I'm looking at 15 guys."

Curtain Cleaning
Specialist Curtain Cleaning to keep your curtains in the best condition
Not only is it important to have your curtains cleaned regularly to keep them fresh and looking great but also to increase their longevity.
As well as looking beautiful in your home they also play a very useful and functional role. They block out light and darkness, drafts, sound, heat and cold as well as acting as an effective air filter, capturing smells, dust, skin particles and smoke, which left uncleaned, will eventually damage the fabric.
The cleanability of your curtains will vary depending on the fabric, age, length of time since they've been cleaned and their exposure to ultra violet light that causes a break down in the fibres.
It is important to have your curtains cleaned together as no fabric is 100% colourfast.
When you send your curtains to The Garment Spa for dry cleaning you can be assured we will take the greatest care, using our extensive knowledge of textiles, over 50 years of experience and traditional hand-finishing techniques.
Initially your curtains will be measured accurately so you are charged the correct price then they will be thoroughly checked and assessed so the most beneficial treatment is chosen for your curtains.
They will then be dry cleaned at a low temperature in organic, virgin perc solvent that remains at a static temperature throughout the cleaning process. The temperature used is for delicate items – 30 revolutions per minute for 4 minutes with 4 second tumble clockwise with a rest for 8 seconds then a tumble, anti-clockwise for 4 seconds. They are then dried for 40 minutes at 30 revolutions per minute.
If your curtains are smoked damaged or need deodorising the process is slightly more rigorous. They have a double bath, effectively cleaned twice in solvent for 10 minutes with a 20 seconds tumble in each direction with a 2 second rest at 36 revolutions per minute. A specialist deodorising soap is added to the first cleaning cycle. The second clean, is in freshly, distilled solvent. They are then dried for 40 minutes at 30 revolutions per minute.
After cleaning, they are finished by hand on a large, steam curtain bed before they are gently folded and put on to strong drapery hangers which are protected by a robust cardboard tube to prevent your curtains being lined.
We recommend you have your curtains cleaned annually to protect them or three to four times a year if someone in your household suffers from allergies.

WhatiLearned.com - What I Learned
Boat shoes are some of the most comfortable shoes you can wear in summer, but it's easy to write them off as being too preppy for your personal style. We've found 50 great outfits with boat shoes that prove that wrong.
It's hard to find a pair of footwear that's easier to toss on running out the door than boat shoes. You can slip them right on, they fit securely, and you don't even need socks. They mold to your feet and become the most comfortable pair of shoes you own. What's not to like?
The primary misconception people have about boat shoes is that they're inherently preppy; this isn't necessarily true. They certainly have a strong history in the prep styles of coastal towns in New England. But that's like saying Vans can only be worn by skaters or Red Wings by construction workers. It's entirely possible to wear a pair of Docksiders with Getups that aren't brightly colored business casual or dressier. If played right, boat shoes might be one of the most versatile summer footwear options in your closet.
Check out the album below for some inspiration on ways to branch away from the preppy connotations of boat shoes.

Stock profits will be harder to come by in 2019 as corporations will no longer get a boost from lower corporate tax rates, according to Goldman Sachs.
David Kostin, the bank's chief U.S. equity strategist, said in a note Friday that an increase in the S&P 500's return on equity "appears unlikely" this year. Return on equity, usually abbreviated as "ROE," is a measure of profitability that is calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity. Kostin added the S&P 500's ROE increased by 2.37 percentage points to 18.6 percent last year, its highest level since 2000.
"Lower tax rates accounted for two thirds of the improvement in ROE but fundamentals were strong even excluding tax reform," Kostin said. "High tax rate stocks rallied in 2018. However, consensus expects corporate tax rates will actually rise in 2019, driving some of the weakness in the 2019 profitability outlook."
S&P 500 earnings grew by at least 25 percent in the first three quarters of 2018 and by more than 13 percent in the fourth quarter, FactSet data show.
The expansion was driven in large part by a massive tax bill signed by President Donald Trump in late 2017 that slashed the federal corporate tax rate to 21 percent from 35 percent. Trump signing the tax bill was widely anticipated as investors pushed the S&P 500 higher by nearly 20 percent in 2017.
However, corporate taxes are expected to rise in some sectors, especially in the communications services group which includes Netflix and Disney. This could put pressure on corporate profits in 2019, Kostin said.
Another headwind for companies this year could be rising wages, the strategist added. "Surveys suggest that wages and other costs are rising faster than companies are raising prices. Historically, this pattern has presaged declines in EBIT margins." He said S&P 500 margins should remain flat through 2020 with risks "tilted to the downside."
"The boost from lower tax rates is likely behind us," Kostin said. "We recommend investors focus on companies that are best-equipped to withstand cost pressures in 2019."
The Goldman strategist highlighted a basket of 50 stocks he expects will have strong return on equity this year. The basket includes TripAdvisor, Cisco Systems, Cabot Oil and Under Armour. Goldman estimates return on equity for TripAdvisor and Cisco will grow by 16 percent and 40 percent, respectively. The bank also sees Cabot's ROE expanding by 35 percent and Under Armour's by 44 percent.
So far, the basket has outperformed the S&P 500 by 5 percentage points in 2019 and 72 percent of its members have also outpaced the broad index. The S&P 500 is up 12.6 percent this year through Friday's close.

Farmers must produce more food to feed a world population of 9.1 billion by 2050. Already, 800 million people face hunger and two billion are malnourished.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has estimated that farmers will need to be producing 60% more food by 2050. However, If we continue as we are, this means that 42% more cropland will be needed and 77% more greenhouse gas emissions will be released to the atmosphere (Bajzelji et al., 2014).
However, more using more land is not an option if we want to avoid irreversable climate damage, preserve our forests and other wild places, protect endangered species and promote biodiveristy.
In addition, people are leaving the countryside to live and work in cities, leaving a depleted rural workforce. In 2018, the UN estimated that 55% of the global population lived in urban areas, and that by 2050 this would rise to 68%, with 90% of the increase concentrated in Africa and Asia.
The key to global food security is sustainable intensification. This is an approach supported by the FAO, which involves increasing crop production by optimising the use of all resources and technologies including seeds, fertilizer and crop protection products, in integrated crop management systems that protect ecosytems and conserve landscapes.
Weed threat
Across major crops including cereals, oilseeds, cotton and rice, it has been estimated that, if uncontrolled, weeds would cause losses in productivity of 35% (Oerke, 2006). High yielding crops depend on clean fields free from weeds, especially during early growth stages when they are vulnerable to competition.
Weeds compete with crops for the resources essential for good yields: light, water and nutrients. They may also attract pests and diseases, make crops difficult to harvest and contaminate foodstuffs. Without effective weed control crops cannot make best use of fertilizer, further limiting yield potential.
FAO has calculated that losses in global wheat production due to weeds is equivalent to good arable land more than twice the size of France being wasted every year. Poorer countries are hit hardest. Research indicated that weed competition had a greater impact than diseases or insect pests.
Herbicides reduce this potential loss by about 75% (Oerke, 2006). Losses due to diseases and insect pests are potentially 15-20% and fungicides and insecticides reduce these by about one third.
Need for new herbicides
Herbicides are, therefore, very effective, when used as part of integrated crop management in the sustainable intensification of cropping systems. However, aggressive weeds resistant to important herbicides have become increasingly problematic around the world. Farmers have not had access since the 1980s to herbicides with new modes of action, which would address this critical issue for global food security,
The mission of MoA Technology is to find these new herbicide modes of action.

VILNIUS – Today's Internet and information technologies cannot give a 100 percent guarantee that online votes would be protected from any kind of attacks, Lithuanian Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius said on Thursday.
"The current level of the Internet and information technologies does not allow us to be 100 percent sure that voting results would be protected from any sort of attacks on them," he said in an interview with Ziniu Radijas.
On the other hand, Kubilius said, e-voting development could have been started from Lithuanian citizens residing abroad.
The PM suggests continuing discussions on the issue.
As reported, Tuesday Lithuania's parliament decided to reject amendments to the laws on elections to the European Parliament, president, referendum and parliamentary elections which spoke about applying a new form of voting - voting online, granting the right of online voting to Lithuanian citizens abroad.
A poll conducted by market research company Baltijos Tyrimai revealed that as many as three quarters (75 percent) of Lithuania's residents are in favor of allowing online voting in Lithuania.

A Simple Plan For Investigating Plumbers
Tips on How to Avoid Various Plumbing Issues Before Winter
Since winter is a period where there are a number of things that you won't be able to do such as maintenance and other kinds of plumbing concerns, it is right to make sure that as early as possible, this issue is properly taken care of so that it will not cause further damage to your property. As much as possible, try to prevent and make sure that you have performed the plumbing maintenance when winter is about to come and this will save you lots of money since if you won't be able to address this issue as early as possible, your pipe might not stand the clogged since if the contents of the pipe will continue to contract tightly and expand continuously, it will result to a burst pipe. So to be able to get ready before winter comes, try to read the following and make sure that you will heed this advice.
Select a Competent Plumber Within Your Vicinity
You might be residing in Toronto at present so all you need to find is plumbers Toronto and once you have decided to hire plumbers Toronto, you are free to talk everything related to you plumbing concerns as well as the job that you want to get done and after that, plumbers Toronto will provide you with possible solutions and then the plumbers Toronto will proceed to work on your pipes and in the end you will see the result of the work that plumbers Toronto has done and you'll be fully satisfied about it. You need to realize that finding competent plumbers within your area is really possible at the moment and by just searching on the internet using appropriate keywords such as "plumbers Toronto" for instance and you will be able to get accurate results as well.
Be Careful of What You Dump on the Pipe
Be aware that oil and many other greasy fluids can possibly solidify in the pipe and block some more fluids that will cause burst pipes and clogged pipes in the long term. Doing this will minimize the risk of having too much problems with your pipe when winter comes.
Occasional Running of Water is Necessary
This will minimize the possibility of having some ice froze in the pipe. This will be beneficial so your faucet will be used.
Turn the Hot Water in a Slow Manner
So if you're thinking about doing some things in a hurry, you need to understand that it is impossible for you to do it since there will be some disadvantage that can happen. Start with a tap water then after waiting for some time you can proceed to hot.
The Significance of Understanding
This is very important for property owners if they want to save money in paying for the services of people to repair their pipes. This is a good thing to avoid breakage.

What is the value of a Bitcoin?
Bitcoin has revolutionized the currency system. It is instantaneous and with no regulations. Easy transactions with no minimal fees have definitely caught the attention of the masses. Even though the concept is innovative and quick, users are still in dilemma as there are certain risks associated with it too. With a simple Bitcoin wallet, money can be stored both online and offline.
Bitcoin has been capped on a limit of 21 million by its inventor, supposedly Satoshi Nakamoto. Currently, 15.2 million bitcoins are already in circulation, which accounts almost 72% of the total. People are investing in bitcoins with a hope that they would it be able to sell it on a higher price. There were a series of ups and downs in 2011 & 2013 in the Bitcoin market. Thus, users are making careful choices due to market fluctuations.
Value of Bitcoin
Bitcoin has impressed some while others are still looking for more clarity regarding the return on investment. The value of Bitcoin has seen a series of ups and downs in the last five years. The market recently saw a rise in the currency value when ransomware authors carried out a cyber crime. They hacked several computers and scrambled the data. In return, they demanded a ransom in the form of Bitcoin. This particular incident made a negative portrait for the bitcoins but somehow the demand increased for this currency.
Many countries are still exploring Bitcoin as a payment option. Americans have taken a back seat for implementing this mode as their mainstream payment method. Lately, great response has come from Asian countries. Ever since Japan has shown interests in Bitcoin service, the market has definitely boomed internationally.
Services by western Union and money gram for money transfer are time intensive and expensive. Thus, Bitcoin has wide application and if explored positively, this currency would have much greater significance than traditional currency.

More digital apprenticeship roles needed - Julie Hawker, Cosmic CEO
We're all very aware that most young people now in their teenage years come with a skill, experience and aptitude for IT and digital technologies 'built in'. These millennials (born since 2000) have grown up in a world where digital has played a part in every stage of their lives so far – entertainment, healthcare, education, social interaction, communications and more.
At the very same time then consider how many businesses locally are desperately in need of new digital skills and the talent to harness its potential within the business. In fact, when asked most SMEs don't yet know what digital technologies can offer to improve their businesses – they simply do not have the time, expertise and basic knowledge to start this type of review.
And then, there's the dilemma which older teenagers are now facing: to go to university in order to develop their knowledge, skills and career opportunities (whilst at the same time racking up student debt of course), or have the courage to step straight into employment or work placement. Or, of course, get the best of both-worlds and find a great apprenticeship!
And so it was against this backdrop that Cosmic set out to develop our own digital apprenticeship programme – harnessing the potential which young people can offer for the growth of our business and partner businesses too. Our first step was to recruit the right individuals, and ideally to get the local schools working with us to provide the links to the recruitment process. Hugely disappointing reactions from these schools – unwilling to promote apprenticeships to students, too busy to share our flyers, or just not keen to interrupt other 'priority' school activities. And further disappointment in the balance of applicants when we finally did get enough response – why aren't more girls interested in IT career paths at the moment?
Pie chart to show the lack of female applicants for digital apprenticeships at Cosmic
Once the recruitment was progressing, and during interviews, the inspiration and motivation levels for the project increased significantly, and we appointed six young guys with huge potential and commitment. During their 12 month programme we enjoyed watching them grow and develop new skills, become great team players, and more importantly take on income-generating roles in our business. We also provided them with major opportunities for work experience in partner organisations – Mole Valley Farmers, Yarlington Housing, Eloquent Technologies. And so the benefits to their development were very valuable.
And at the end of September 2014 Cosmic were able to offer three full-time, permanent roles on our staff – Jack, Alex, Jamie (one of whom already secured employment through the pilot project) are all now a part of the team and further developing their learning, skills and playing a part in business development too. Others who left us at this point have been supported to gain work in other businesses – web development and tech support. And so we look back at the programme with a great deal of pride and also a clear understanding about the value which this project gave us in return. For example –
- Cosmic has now implemented a Living Wage policy – ensuring that the pathway from apprenticeship (lower paid) to permanent position also comes with a significant increase in wage levels to recognise the contribution made to the business
- Travel costs to-and-from work are increasingly becoming a barrier for younger employees who seek to gain great jobs but at distance from home. Not just the cost of fuel if they are drivers, but the cost of insurance is massive! And then for those relying on public transport both the time it takes to journey across rural south west, and the costs involved are off-putting. (and so we put in place an additional travel subsidy based on the miles from home)
- Harnessing young, enthusiastic talent in our business effectively is a challenge – we need structure, planning, quality management and customer focus. They need autonomy (freedom to choose), motivation, incentives, peer-support and (they need but may not want!) understanding how it fits in business – i.e. commercial awareness.
- Customer service skills are not taught in our education system – and yet they are fundamental to every business! We invested a lot time with apprentices so that they learned and developed great customer service skills. Emails, phone calls, meetings, presentations all provide people with a link to our business and we must get that right every time.
Last month the House of Lords published a report about the significant need for digital skills to be embraced by British businesses – "Make or Break"
The report outlines numerous issues facing businesses and the need for digital skills, and plenty of recommendations for the incoming government in May to focus on –
"Including a digital element in all apprenticeship schemes, as well as offering more digital apprenticeships for specific technology occupations and sectors (taking into account the predicted changes to the labour market), could improve general digital skills"
But more locally, even the business community doesn't recognise the major challenges ahead and we all need to inform and educate our colleagues and associates more fully. Digital skills will be needed by every business in the years ahead. There isn't a 'digital sector' which will be the only employer of young talent, and we need to have schools, colleges, employers and careers support which understand this context for apprenticeships. And digital businesses and agencies, like Cosmic, are keen to sit at the heart of future developments and to support other employers.

Six new paperbacks to check out this week.
The Gene: An Intimate History, by Siddhartha Mukherjee. (Scribner, $20.) A sweeping history of the study of genetics is paired with an account of mental illness in the author's family. In his Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Emperor of All Maladies," Mukherjee explored the ramifications of a corrupted genetic code, cancer; this work elegantly grapples with the moral consequences of learning to program heredity ourselves and control our own fate.
This Must Be the Place, by Maggie O'Farrell. (Vintage, $16.95.) In the back roads of County Donegal, Ireland, an American linguist finds a forlorn child with a stutter, and his mother — once a famous actress who vanished at the height of her career. The encounter sets off a love story spanning addictions, accidents and grief, all told in a novel "with a vivid sense of play," Elizabeth Graver said in these pages.
The Boys in the Bunkhouse: Servitude and Salvation in the Heartland, by Dan Barry. (Harper Perennial, $15.99.) In rural Iowa, dozens of mentally impaired men, after being released from institutions, were exploited for labor, humiliated and abused for decades. Barry, a journalist for The New York Times, chronicles the scandal through its conclusion, reached thanks to the help of a local reporter and other heroes.
Our Young Man, by Edmund White. (Bloomsbury, $18.) After success in Paris, Guy, a dazzling French male model, moves to the United States, where he cycles through wealthy benefactors and lovers, grapples with the AIDS crisis and maintains his career — all while resisting any signs of age. The novel "becomes an oddly poignant contemplation of what it's like to live 'way past' your shelf life and make choices that don't quite match your insouciant appearance," our reviewer, Michael Upchurch, wrote.
The Art of Rivalry: Four Friendships, Betrayals, and Breakthroughs in Modern Art, by Sebastian Smee. (Random House, $20.) A study of four notable pairs — Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas; Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso; Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning; and Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon — focuses on the "yielding, intimacy and openness to influence" that drove their friendships and creative tensions.
Nutshell, by Ian McEwan. (Anchor, $16.) The opening line of McEwan's brilliantly inventive novel — "So here I am, upside down in a woman" — sets up its premise: A pregnant woman and her lover plot the murder of her estranged husband — all overheard by the unborn child she is carrying. Privy to their scheme but seemingly helpless to intervene, the fetus contemplates questions of bloodlines and love.

Let's see what the Dow I brings us this week. It is of the highest importance the following on how the markets react after closing last Friday the Dow index in an uptick increase in a 4 consecutive weeks.
But last week increase ended almost flat.
Most influencial analysts in investors' decisions perceive that the crisis finally touched its floor and the confidence of investors are solidly recovered.
Indeed , on the other side of the river there are some clever, stock markets analysts, and non profit econimic organizations, that view this uptrend as a pure great manipulation of market prices, orchestrated from within the Summit of the greatest World Economic Powers.
In my opinion there is no solid base to rely upon, therefore anything could happen, abundant data and contrary opinions can be found in this blog . Review it,and carefully, pay close attention to the unforseeable market reversals or confirmations of the so called, ¡¡¡ ECOCOMIC RECOVERY!!!.
I prefer to stay as a watchman .
In the meanwhile, I leave you with a video I selected from RTTNews that summarizes the markets developments in the past week.

Mirror's Edge {Based} Content [Update 07/06]
- new d/l here:
- It's been a year since i used this editor to the extent needed, so go easy on me.

UT3 Old, New & Phys X Server: Check your Browser :)
Unreal Info, Content & projects:http://unrealbyfusilade.wordpress.com/
Enjoy the Uncooked file + Content- Please report any ideas or possible fixes for known issues.- The map is RAW; so anything you consider "Flat areas" will no longer be flat for UT3 Gameplay- this will however cause my mind to explode because i dislike geometry that makes no sense to the environment...- It is a tough choice to do this as it is against my nature but in the best interest's of gameplay.- The car park might nto make any sense - but then again- in Mirror's edge there was no real room for pedestrians and the map made completely no sense either so ....
edit: ^^ all irrelevant now.
Like the mix of white / orange & it look very nice overall :DWall metal meshes & decals look very cool too :)

Thanks for looking guys, really appreciate it.- feel free to comment about potential gameplay + weapon placement ideas, i have started ripping up the scene for UT3 gameplay, there is alot more variation.- @ Bl!tz... your saying epic cars looks bad?-- Lol yeh i know + i totally agree LOL.- sorry epic hehe.....but did you notice i added real collision to it ?
*HU_City {Plus}
- step 1
* Exported + added new collision + new UV's,
- step 2
* i need to ... make new materials and do cubemaps -
check the progress notes; Cubemaps are not yet done, but i will keep you posted ... ** If you use the new Epic HU_City cars content, you can create an alpha for the windows and make your own cubemap, i just do my cube maps last becuase i like to have the the map complete to Render2Texture.- same for the glass.
^^ The HU_CityPlus content can be released after the map is complete. New cars will be texture wrapped.
Thanks All
p.s. if anyone still plays ut3 ... War-DowntownPlus is now on my server
- atm it just has tank blocking volumes where they should be [steps at prime nodes]. some changes to ascetics and ammo counts etc/ more will come each month
My Leveldesign PortfolioMap Packs for Unreal Tournament 3
Internal Coördination of the UOF4 Low Poly Map Pack
Thanks to all so far for the tests.
1 thing- the line you talk about- is the known issue- and if you fix it- then i will buy you roses.
* i currently have concerns about gameplay at this time.
* One Thing i did with DM-Roughinery was make different contrast textures for the walls [light and dark]- i will do similar with this map only an optimsied version.- i will also be using shader variations on every wall area, to more accurately relfect speculars [based on light scene], by added colour and varying values dependant on wall/ lighting affecting said area
- sometimes i have completely remade a texture from scratch- also alot of content is still the ME stuff with only minor changes- Credit is only due to me for the immense amount of time and effort it takes to replicate this stuff and hopefully improve/ integrate it correctly into UT3 -[which sadly- may not be good enough i fear]
-- Edited by TKBS on Monday 29th of April 2013 08:04:32 PM
Some progress made - i just don't have the time to map like i used to and this week i would like to test LPS's DOM map.- no more up dates until final so it will be a big Gap- Do people like the progress?- is it a movement in the right direction?
Sorry, I didn't had the time to play the map yet It's on my "to do list"
But keep it up m8, it's on the good way, no doubt
got message error while trying to D/L it with both IE and firefox....
still not working.....even with google chrome....i hope the 7 times download count arent my trys....never mind i ll try again tommorow
Thanks for the reports, the map downloaded for some people, not for everyone, i cannot explain this.
common dude*! please upload it somewhere else (mediafire or so) or you ll not get too much feedback...GAMEFRONT SUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX !!!!
*: if u allow me to call you so of course....muhahaha
Love your enthusiasm & appreciate it :)/
*GameFront crap did not work for everybody So i continued to work on the map, then realized its crap lol.-Gameplay needs alot of focus
* Weapons need moving
* i want another level/ layer - but needs gameplay testing first..* 1 Room [near the lil foliage area] has lame lighting, sorry- i just forgot about it.- Glass effects are not what i would like.
{for now its my old kismet with 1 new idea tested (animation in 1 instance)}
- im not sure whether i should use code or stick with kismet or use animation-- mainly because kismet is within the map and not an additional file and animation is a mission.
^^also cubemaps are fing annoying/ coudl be improved maybe- Lifts are now "E"functions with absolutely no indication of this .. and the lifts have no doors, again sorry these just have been left until the very end.Thanks
p.s. feel free to comment as you like [a to-do list if u will] but consider the above first as these are effectively my to-do list
thanks for the new link, D/Led it in a blink just tryed it, mixed feelings about the gameplay though, this kind of layout remind me games like fear and others shootersi liked some of your ideas and others lessi found very fun to jump on the trucks then i asked to me why i did it as there was nothing to collect there...same reflexion when i was Inside em....as in some place u have too long alignements of health vials perhaps can u dispatch em in and on the trucks to make the climb more attractive...i dont like too much toses vials alignements, it s quite unbalancing the match ...espacially when u add a helmet near them (overpowered places+ easy spot to camp and kill @ the end of the corridors with the portal)some shadowing are very nice (the shadows on the cars through thoses grids is superb)i was surprised with the lifts...they dont work (or i didnt find the way to get em working)some détails i didnt like:here wood on one side tiling on the other...without triming....
classic glasses would fit better imo
ROFL: how did u succed to drive that truck there? some magic?nice map u ve got there, if u succed to organize a lil more the gameplay (item placement mainly and more z-axis imo)texturing is original and add something new to this old UT3, thanks for your work and for sharing, keep it up
lol @ your last image- { i realized that a long time ago and hoped no-one would notice- LOL}
So Beta_02 for you guys is my personal Beta_03; - i drop a beta back without releasing so that i can ensure improvements.- i think the only aspects i lack atm are atmospheric [additional ambience, sounds, cascade's etc]. but this is np as i have a million maps to take c+p from].- Thanks in advance to anyone who tries and comments, [Thread purged :)]
Sorry about the jumppads, i will have to come up with a better method of traversing heights

2.5/5 stars
What if… Imagine!… What if there was no music of the Beatles in this world. It is a good way of approaching an icon's omnipresence in our universe. What if the plays of Shakespeare, the symphonies of Beethoven, the voice of Lata Mangeshkar or the performances of Meryl Streep were not with us? How drab life would be!
Not being a particularly fanatical follower of the Beatles' music, Danny Boyle's steadfast outpouring of giggly gush got a tad tedious for me. But to its credit, the film never plunges into pedestrianism. It preserves its perky optimism till the end. And none perkier than Joel Fry who plays the Beatles-fixated protagonist's sidekick. Fry is the sunshine of this sweet but drab aspirational saga.
The basic premise of the world losing memory of all the Beatles songs during a 12-second global power outrage is hard to accept. The heart is in the right place. But the absurdities abound. What is a young brown Indian (or is he Pakistani) Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) doing singing rock and roll in London? It's like a jazz singer from New Orleans singing on the roads of Patna. Who would take him seriously?
Himesh Patel's act is at best, unassuming. But he lacks screen charisma. And it is hard to imagine nations of youngsters swooning over him just because he sings Beatles songs that no one recognizes. Plagiarism is thereby rendered puerile and futile. It's even more difficult to accept the talented and pretty Lily James squandering her life and attention on this unlikely brown-skinned Beatles avatar.
Significantly the film makes no mention of Patel's cultural background. He is just a Beatles fan who chances on a trick to immortality. He could from nowhere. The archetypal Nowhere Man. Among the things that happen to him thereafter, a barrage of improbable episodes strung together with the eagerness of a child playing with building bricks in a sandpit, there is nothing that we don't know will happen.
It pretty much fell apart for me when Ed Sheeran (yes, Ed Sheeran!) showed up at Jack Malik's home as a fan of the aspiring singer's Beatles catalogue with an offer that Jack just can't refuse. While Jack and Ed confab casually in the cramped kitchen, Jack's dad (Sanjeev Bhaskar) walks in and says, "You look like Ed Sheeran."
Yes, that's how low the laughs fall. After a while it feels like Himesh's Jack Malik is going through the entire repertoire of the Beatles' song one number after another as audition for a movie about the Beatles, though not the one that we're watching. Yesterday adapts all the tropes clichés and predictable plot manipulations inherent in a rags to riches showbiz stormer's story. By the time Jack Malik had to choose between Love and Fame (why must a successful man have to make that choice in every film?) the yawns had far exceeded the yums.
This is a film that won't appeal to generations that have not grown up revering the Beatles as the ultimate musical experience. As for those who adore the Liverpool 4, even they would be tempted to say, Let it be.

What CBD Feels Like
The medical world is changing as more discoveries surface about the unusual chemical Cannabidiol (CBD). People are reporting that it helps with their chronic illnesses and mood disorders when other treatment options just weren't working. There are even many who use hemp oil as a routine to keep their general health maintained. And you start to wonder, what's this all about?
What Is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical found in the cannabis plant. In states that don't permit recreational marijuana consumption, the CBD oil is extracted from industrial hemp. Industrial hemp is packed with CBD but has barely any THC content which is what makes it legal to use in every state throughout the United States, even those where recreational marijuana has not yet been legalized.
CBD indirectly interacts with a system in our body called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). Its method of interaction with the system is the main reason it doesn't have the same "high" effect as THC. The ECS's job is to maintain homeostasis. This means that it regulates the body and makes sure everything is functional. This system is made up of endocannabinoids, receptors, and metabolic enzymes.
The endocannabinoids are chemicals that are almost identical to the cannabinoids we find in the sativa plant, except they are created by our brains. They also help regulate traffic in our brain and body, but only if the ECS is healthy and functioning properly.
The two primary receptors that interact with CBD are CB1 and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are located mainly in the brain, and regulate the functions in the nervous system. CB2 receptors are spread out all over the body and take care of everything outside of the nervous system, like the immune system.
Metabolic enzymes are important because they make sure a reaction in your brain doesn't last forever. They are proteins that eat up the chemicals and hormones that cause reactions after they have been in use for the right amount of time, while also maintaining and repairing living cells.
It may be odd that CBD comes from the same plant as a chemical like THC, but doesn't get you high. If it has so much involvement and interaction with our brain, what does it make you feel? What CBD makes you feel is something that many people have been searching for for years; Relief.
CBD Feels Like: No Anxiety
Anxiety is something that plagues us all, regardless if we have a mental illness. It is a natural chemical reaction, but in the world we live in it is continuously activated. Traffic, endless meetings, poverty, relationships, and maintaining a family all cause us to have stress. And then there are those who do have mental disorders who will feel the pressure of stress times a hundred because their brains are firing off too much information.
CBD redirects brain traffic using retrograde signaling. All day your brain is firing off tiny electric impulses from one neuron to the other to make sure you can go about your day. But sometimes our brains are overactive, especially during times of stress, which causes the receiving neurons to freeze up and not know how to react. When you take CBD, it calms down excited neurotransmitters that may give you the feeling of worry and suppresses your anxiety so you can feel calm and relaxed.
CBD Feels Like: No Nausea
There are many reasons people feel nausea. Pregnancy, chemo treatments, intense hunger, boats crashing against the water, and of course even anxiety can give you the feeling of nausea. For whatever reason you have it, you just want it gone. Nausea can cause severe weight loss that can, in turn, make nausea more consistent. Anyone who has ever been sick before knows how impossible it is to eat when your stomach is upside down, and some people have to feel that way for days at a time.
When studying a link between cannabinoids and nausea, they discovered that the interaction with the CB1 receptor lowered nausea in patients. The initial trigger of vomiting is the release of a bunch of serotonin. CB1 receptors reduce the amount of serotonin that gets released into the gastric system, which in turn reduces the urge to vomit. When recovering from extreme nausea, it may be difficult to get eating again. Luckily, CBD helps AIDS patients improve metabolism & increase appetite.
CBD Feels Like: Pain Managed Naturally
Age old injuries developed diseases, and just a less than perfect gene pool are all culprits of chronic pain. Many people shove as many narcotics down their throats as they can just to get a few hours of relief, only for it to return three times as strong as soon as the medicine wears off. Physical therapy doesn't work for everyone, and some are tired of being dependent on a deadly pill, and that is why many people suffering from chronic pain are switching to hemp oil medication.
There is an endocannabinoid in our brain that we produce called anandamide (AEA). It was actually the first endocannabinoid discovered, which lead to the discovery of the endocannabinoid system. They called it "The Bliss Molecule" because of its euphoric features, including reducing pain sensitivity. This chemical is almost identical to THC. It gives the same effects, but they don't last as long. This is due to how delicate AEA is compared to THC.
CBD elevates the levels of AEA in your body and stops the metabolic enzyme FAAH from devouring it. The enzyme is what makes the AEA not last forever for a continual natural high. CBD prevents those enzymes from doing their job while magnifying the chemical, giving it a boost to do its job in relieving pain.
CBD also helps the endocannabinoid system achieve homeostasis in areas where your body may be lacking. Patients with arthritis report pain relief when taking CBD, because the endocannabinoid system is in charge of the synovium between your joints.
The synovium is what keeps your joints moving smoothly, but when it thickens is when you start to receive joint pain. Synovium thickens because it Is getting inflamed. Inflammation occurs when the body senses something attacking, and it needs the immune system to clean up the mess. Immune cells will fill the area causing swelling and should return to normal after the risk is gone. But when they don't, you have the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis. CBD interacts with the CB2 receptor which is in charge of regulating the immune system. Creating a healthier balance, and reducing inflammation.
CBD Feels Like No Depression
Depression is a monster that sleeps under the beds of millions of Americans, clinging onto them keeping them from daily activities and even work. Depression isn't just being sad, it is lacking the chemical reactions for motivation that help you survive. It is a very complex disorder, affecting many parts of the brain. One thing it affects is your reward system.
When you eat, sleep, or have sex, your reward system goes off, telling your mind and body "Yes, this! We want to do this all the time!". People with depression don't have that. They can lay in bed for days at a time, go days without eating, months without showering, and years without being able to have intimate relationships. Everything in their world is gray and pointless because their brain seems to be color blind. CBD can bring color back into your life.
Research on CBD has shown that CBD reduces anxiety and depression like symptoms. CBD elevates the subtype neurotransmitter of serotonin, which is linked to having anti-depressant effects. And while they watched it in action in the lab, they found that CBD lifted moods very quickly.
CBD Feels Like More Energy
You may be wondering how a chemical that comes from the cannabis plant can give you energy when the popular THC is so famous for making people drowsy. But the way that CBD offers energy isn't a fake surge or boost, it's by helping your body allocate the nutrients your body needs, by helping your body find a natural and healthy sleep cycle, and of course by elevating your mood.
CBD doesn't help you sleep because it makes you feel drowsy. CBD eliminates pain and anxiety which are the leading causes of disruptive sleep patterns. This natural remedy can actually act almost like a stimulant because of how CBD blocks the degradation of AEA through the CB1 receptor. This doesn't make it impossible to sleep while taking CBD, but it makes you have the uplifting energy sensation for longer.
CBD helping with the distribution of nutrients is also a great way it helps you gain energy. The endocannabinoid system is in charge of food intake and energy balance. Making sure your body receives the right amount of nutrients as well as correctly displacing the energy.
The ECS also interacts with other parts of the body involved with nutrition such as the hypothalamus, the limbic forebrain, and the brain stem. When any of these areas are malfunction, overstimulation can occur which is when people turn to overeating. CBD can help regulate the stimulation of the ECS, which keeps you eating at a healthy volume which promotes high energy.
We have a great article that explains the endocannabinoid system, take a look!
To some, CBD feels like being normal, something they haven't felt in a long time. To others, CBD feels like the sun is shining a little bit brighter. Trying some today could help brighten up your life, even if you didn't know you needed it.

The best Bundt pans you can buy
The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like. Business Insider has affiliate partnerships, so we get a share of the revenue from your purchase.
- High-quality Bundt pans are easy to maneuver, bake evenly, produce attractive cakes, release your baked goods effortlessly, and are a snap to clean up.
- The Wilton Perfect Results Non-Stick Fluted Tube Pan is our top pick because it's inexpensive, lightweight, and has easy-to-grip handles.
Today, there are dozens of companies selling their own Bundt pans, only you will often see these pans referred to as "fluted tube pans" to avoid potentially infringing on the trademark. Nordic Ware continues to be the most popular brand thanks to its selection of countless designs.
Bundt pans are used for a variety of purposes, including molding frozen desserts and gelatins and baking festive breads. For this guide, though, we are going to focus on which pans are best for crafting cakes.Using a Bundt pan to bake cakes is quite simple. First, you use a baking spray or shortening to grease the pan - use pastry a brush to get into all of the crevices. Slowly add the batter - any cake batter will do - to the pan. Once it's all in, tap the pan a few times to get the air bubbles out. For even baking, spread the batter so it's higher on the sides than the center.
Once the cake is ready, remove it from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Tap the pan a few times and invert it over a cooling rack to let the cake slide out and cool completely.A good Bundt pan must produce cakes that are attractive to look at. There are two factors that play into this. First, the shape of the actual pan will give you a good idea of what your baked goods will look like. The designs range from your classic symmetrical round pan with ridges to incredibly intricate grooves for catching glazes. The other factor to consider is the product's tint. Typically, the darker the pan, the darker your cake will be. So, you will likely want a pan that is lighter in color.Several different materials are used to make Bundt pans: silicone, ceramic, glass, and an array of metals. We only included aluminum and steel pans in our guide because silicone is floppy and fails to brown correctly and glass and ceramic do not conduct heat well. A heavy-duty aluminum or steel pan with a nonstick surface will cook your cake evenly and give it a nice even browning.Advertisement

LUBBOCK, Texas – The No. 3 Texas Tech baseball team used a five-run fifth while sophomores Clayton Beeter and Micah Dallas put the clamps on Houston Baptist to earn a 5-1 victory on a brisk Opening Day at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park.
The Red Raiders (1-0) improved to 7-2 on Opening Days under head coach Tim Tadlock behind the arms of Beeter and Dallas, who limited HBU to just two hits and combined for 11 strikeouts in the contest.
Senior Brian Klein led the charge offensively by going 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run, while freshman Jace Jung added a multi-hit performance and an RBI as well.
Jung was one of four freshmen who earned a spot in the opening day lineup along with redshirt freshman Cal Conley at shortstop, Nate Rombach as the designated hitter and Dillon Carter in left field.
Carter jumpstarted the five-run fifth with a double before Rombach put up the first run of the season by touching home on an RBI groundout by Conley. A couple of Husky miscues allowed Carter to cross the plate, and then Klein and Jung connected on RBI singles to make it 4-0. Another error allowed Fulford to score, who reached base by drawing a walk prior to the singles.
Beeter set career highs with 6.0 innings pitched and six strikeouts, earning his first career win in his starting debut. Dallas earned the save as he tossed the final 3.0 frames and only allowed one base runner.
HBU's Kyle Gruller took the loss for the Huskies as he was responsible for four of the five runs scored in the fifth. Shortstop Nathan Soriano had one of his team's two hits and scored their only run of the game.
Following the season opener, the Red Raiders will return to the field Saturday for a doubleheader at 12 p.m. Tech will face Houston Baptist for the second time before taking on Northern Colorado approximately 45 minutes after the conclusion of game one.
Sophomore right-hander Austin Becker will make his Red Raider debut in game one against senior left-hander Solomon Klimeck for the Huskies. In game two, Tech will go with junior Bryce Bonnin against Northern Colorado, while the Bears will match up with junior right-hander Dylan Bowers.

BERLIN – Government data show that German industrial production grew for the fourth consecutive month in February, underlining expectations of a pickup in Europe's biggest economy.
The Economy Ministry said Monday that production rose 0.4 per cent compared with the previous month and it expects figures for the full first quarter to be "appreciably above" Germany's performance in last year's fourth quarter. In year-on-year terms, production was up 4.8 per cent in February.
Germany's order pipeline also is in good shape. Data released last week showed that industrial orders were up 0.6 per cent on the month in February.
The government's panel of independent economic advisers last month raised its 2014 growth forecast for Germany to 1.9 per cent from 1.6 per cent. Last year, the economy grew by only 0.4 per cent.

Testimonial: "From beginning to end, it was a magical evening..."
"Thank you for another beautiful event at Silverado Sierra Vista. From beginning to end, it was a magical evening. My husband was blown away by every detail! From first walking in, the decorations, the tables, walls, everywhere! The delicious food, served by the administrators, elevating the function, everyone dressed so beautifully! The camaraderie of residents, staff and family was lovely! I think it was helpful to have the party at one venue. My mother, albeit confused, was delighted to see 'old' friends like Ginny and Lydia. Even Martha said hello to mommy! My mother stayed until the end, because of the positive, party atmosphere, and the music. At the end of the evening she stood up and held my hands and swayed to the music. Please thank the chefs and kitchen crew for the delicious food, gorgeous dessert presentation, and the elements of a special evening, with the flowers and arrangements around the table supplying the buffet. It was great to see everyone from Terrace Park, including other family members who reached out to say hello. It was comforting to me, as well as enjoyable.
Thank you all. You really have set the gold standard for events at the community. It takes so much work to pull it off. It is noticed and very much appreciated.
Warmest regards and continued thanks."

Happy New Year! I am so happy to be back to recording these meditations after a brief maternity leave. This week's meditation is a short one inspired by a conversation I had with my dear friend Octavia.
As we discussed the resolutions, dreams and ideas for 2019, we both agreed that you can name resolutions all day long, but unless you do the work to identify and clear what has stopped you in the past, these resolutions, like so many others, will fall by the wayside sooner rather than later.
Join me today for 10 minutes to hone our "clearing" skills as we set out to create a 2019 that is all we want it to be!
And, be sure to tune in next week as my new 3-week series, Activate, goes live!

Did the Patriots need a running back? No, but in Alabama's Damien Harris they saw a player who was simply too good to pass up.
FOXBORO – Mount his picture on a billboard along Route One.
Damien Harris is the poster child for the Patriots' annual approach to the NFL draft.
"It's the same as we do every year," Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio said late Friday night at the conclusion of the third round of this year's selection process. "We look at what's up there, we look at our options, and we pick the players that we think are going to fit our team the best. We're not necessarily worried about what position they play. If you build up enough good football players over the course of time, then hopefully you put yourself in a good position."
So, did the Patriots, a team with notable shortcomings at other positions (hello, tight end), need to invest a third-round choice in the running back position?
Of course they didn't, not with 2018 first-round pick Sony Michel in the lead-back role, highly productive third-down back James White, the versatile and ever-efficient Rex Burkhead and special teams standout Brandon Bolden already on board.
But with a running back who amassed 3,070 career rushing yards to leave Alabama ranked eighth all-time in school history available, the Patriots selected Harris, whom many projected to go much higher than the 87th selection overall.
Put in its simplest terms, the 2019 draft made the Patriots an offer they couldn't refuse. The Pats felt Harris was just too good a talent to pass up.
"This guy has been a pretty consistently productive player," said Caserio, "so this is more of, I would say, falls into good football player category relative to the other options that we were looking at on the board, that's where he kind of fell."
Perhaps the player who should be most concerned about Harris' arrival is Burkhead, who, while a four-down back, has had his problems staying on the field during his two seasons in New England. If nothing else, though, Harris could provide insurance for Michel, who has a history of knee problems, an issue that's been well documented.
So add Harris to the reigning champions, a team that placed heavy emphasis on the ground game during what truly became a Super Bowl run.
Over four years at 'Bama, the 5-foot-10, 214-pound Harris averaged 6.4 yards on 477 carries, ran for 23 touchdowns, rushed for 1,000 yards in 2016 and 2017 and another 876 while running in tandem with Josh Jacobs (whom the Oakland Raiders selected in the first round) in 2018. He also caught 52 passes for 407 yards and two TDs (including 22 for 204 yards in 2018) and contributed on special teams (most notably, blocking a punt in a 24-7 win over Florida State two years ago).
"I had snaps at almost all special teams (units)," Harris said in a conference call with the New England media following his selection. "I played primarily on punt and punt return and always loved doing it. It was always fun for me and I just wanted to help make our special teams better, help change field position, be an attribute in the kicking game."
Offensively, Lindy's Pro Football Draft Report says that "what makes (Harris) so remarkable is his powerful running style combined with his vision and cutback ability" and lauds him as "a gifted receiver" who "can really put his foot in the ground and go after the catch."
Harris, who played peewee football in Kentucky with Jarrett Stidham, the Auburn quarterback the Patriots selected in Saturday's fourth round, says that he's "just a dependable player, somebody that whenever you ask me to do something, I'll do it.
"I think I just show a lot of great attributes on the field, things that help me be a great running back and they can help the team be successful," said Harris. "There's a lot of things that I can do well, there's a lot of things I can still improve on, so I'm just ready to come in and be my best me and get to work Day 1."
Harris believes that the relationship between Nick Saban, his coach at Alabama, and Bill Belichick, who will be his coach with the Patriots, will ease his transition from college to the pro ball. Saban, of course, served as the defensive coordinator from 1991-1994 on Belichick's coaching staff during the latter's reign as head coach in Cleveland and the two remain close to this day.
"I think Coach Saban prepares all of his guys to be ready for this next level and be ready for the NFL," said Harris. "Obviously, Coach Saban and Coach Belichick are very similar, they know each other, they're friends, so I think that on top of Coach Saban being the coach that he is, I think him having that relationship will also help me transition to the NFL and the Patriots and help me be successful."

I want to know what platform you use and please give a reason.
now it already many platforms are popping up in the world of forex, there is MT4, MT5, Zulu, cTrader etc..
I want to know what platform you use and please give a reason.
Hello my friend, I am using mt4 platform for my trading, I have been working in forex since many year's and till now I have only spent time with mt4 trading terminal. I have a few months of experience with mt five trading platform too. I don't have any information about zulu trading terminal. If you have any information about zulu trading platform that you can share that with us.
i am using metatarde 4. its very simple and easy to you. and its easy to find mt4 indicator very easy available on net.
I am using the MT4 on my computer and it is working fine for me, I think it is the best and the most used, most people are also making use of it too. There is the new one called MT5 I never liked it, I think it will be waste of time having it, because MT4 is more better and consumes less data.
I like to use meta trader 4 on computer and also like meta trader 4 on android. Now the android meta trader and also meta trader on computer can be sync on the brower history and also getting the notification on the phone by the transaction in the meta trader 4 on computer. I also give notice on meta trader 5 but until now I still prefer to use meta trader 4
i am use mt4 because it is best for me and i have good skill on mt4.and mostly traders use this because mostly traders use different indicators and they are follow those indicator for trading and make profit. also those indicator help them for earning.i am also use some indicator and it is easy to install on mt4 terminal.
I am using meta trader 4, the reason is very clear its old, popular, and easy to handle. Hedging is allowed, scalping is allowed, automatic trading allowed, means its complete package for trader, mt4 provide a lot of facilities to its trader's and that's why its unique from other trading platforms, I don't have any experience of mt5, ctrder,etc. I don't like only one thing is in it that is its server speed, I have heard from friends that mt5 server is fast than mt4 and I would request to robo forex broker to please improve their server speed in mt4 too.
As till now am only using meta trade 4 platform the time I entered in the forex market from last year.As I have heard about meta trader 5 but saying truth yet I haven't tried that too as I find meta trader 4 enough for me and reliable platform to trade.

Honor Ali via a contest for
artwork by SJSU students
Instead of spending a fortune on the Muhammad Ali painting, there is a better way for Santa Clara County to honor him. It will save the county a huge amount of money – and provide an attractive benefit to the winner.
The county should open a contest to create an artwork that honors the early life of Muhammad Ali and which also recognizes the role that the school played in his life.
The contest should be open to current San Jose State students and offer a modest but significant reward – perhaps $5,000. This reward is far less costly than the huge amount currently proposed.
In this win-win-win solution, the county will retain money to spend on urgent issues, such as housing and traffic problems. A talented, deserving student winner will gain recognition and money. And the public will have a worthy reminder of Muhammad Ali's life and achievements.

text: Dr John Hewson is an Australian economist, company director and a former politician, who served as federal leader of the Liberal Party of Australia from 1990 -1994. John Hewson was born in 1946 in Carlton, New South Wales. He was educated at Kogarah High School and then at the University of Sydney where he graduated in economics. He then gained a master's degree from the Regina campus of the University of Saskatchewan and a second master's and a doctorate in economics from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Returning to Australia, Hewson worked as an economist for the Reserve Bank of Australia. From 1976 to 1983 he was employed as an economic advisor to two successive Liberal treasurers. During this period he developed a keen interest in politics and was determined to enter politics himself. In 1987 Hewson was elected to the House of Representatives in the seat of Wentworth. He served as Shadow Finance Minister, Shadow Treasurer and Shadow Minister for Industry and Commerce and was elected Leader of the Liberal Party and the Federal Coalition in Opposition after Andrew Peacock was defeated at the 1990 election. In 1991 Hewson launched economic policy package 'Fightback!', a radical economic policy package, which was heavily criticised by Prime Minister Paul Keating. Hewson was defeated by Keating at the 1993 election, losing what many had described as 'the unloseable election' for the Liberals. In February 1995 Hewson resigned from Parliament, after having one of the shortest careers of any political party leader in Australian politics. Since his departure from politics, Hewson has served as a director of a number of companies and has written extensively for the business and general press, and spent time on the lecture circuit.

When the girls from Lucky contacted me about being part of their blogger issue I actually did a double take. At first I thought the email said I going to be part of the Issue and not the cover – which would be Chiara and Nicole – and that made obvious sense. Then I re-read it about 20 times and it came home to me… I was going to be on the c0ver too! Things became embarrassing. I may have ugly/happy cried/sobbed. I was incredulous! Me?? I'm a fangirl – not a covergirl!
Well, I guess now I'm a covergirl. WOW.
I'm so thrilled to be able to share this with you – the highest peak of my career.
I'm so grateful to the inspirational Eva Chen and all the girls at Lucky Magazine and of course, Conde Naste, for believing in me – and not only me – but other fashion bloggers and entrepreneurs, leading a new generation through the way we use digital media in our industry.
I'm so proud to be sharing this cover with two women I admire and respect so much, both a shining example in my industry. They are so incredibly hardworking and dedicated to their brands – with wonderful talent to boot! I'm always excited to see what's coming next for both of them.
I'm also humbled to know, it's through the support of you, my readers and followers – that I've been able to receive the recognition and encouragement that has built me to this point.
Though words can't really say it right – Thankyou so much!! xx
