Baby Won't Burp? Here's How To Help Them Get Some Relief
Tiny babies need help with just about every bodily function, including burping. But sometimes, that bubble just won't come up. Knowing what to do if your baby won't burp can save you both a lot of discomfort and stress. After all, your baby will most likely let you know if a burp is stuck with loud and distressed crying, and sometimes, the usual shoulder-pat method does not quite work.
If your go-to burp techniques aren't working, then some advanced burping solutions may be in order. "Parents can help by giving infant massage or pushing the legs back and forth when the baby lies on her back — bicycling," said pediatrician Dr. Erika Landau in Parents. Infant massage is a whole topic on its own, but there are some specific moves that are designed to help gassy babies. In one method, you place a hand gently but firmly on your baby's tummy and massage in a clockwise direction, as explained in Essential Parent. This motion may help release those trapped gas bubbles. In another technique, you can hold your baby's knees together and gently press them toward the abdomen, as explained in Massage Magazine. It's a different way to help your little one get things moving.
For more in-depth demonstrations, YouTube videos are always helpful. In particular, this video from Lucy Jones, a baby massage and children's reflexology specialist, demonstrates several easy massage techniques for gas relief.
In addition to massage, sometimes a simple change in position is all the baby needs to bring up the burps. Generally, making sure your baby is sitting up straight, and then applying slight pressure to the tummy, is all that's needed for some gas relief, according to the website for Dr. Sears. In fact, simply wearing your baby upright in a sling may free the trapped air.
For some families, nothing cures gas faster than gripe water. Gripe water is a liquid supplement used to soothe babies, but you may want to use some caution with the stuff. As noted in What to Expect, some brands of gripe water contain alcohol or sucrose, ingredients that aren't suitable for tiny babies. If you want to use gripe water for gas relief, then review your brand's ingredients carefully, and get your pediatrician's take on it.
In addition, plenty of parents rely on gas drops to soothe fussy babies. A type of medical treatment, gas drops rely on the ingredient simethicone to break up gas bubbles, according to Healthline. They are generally considered safe, although gas drops may interact negatively with certain thyroid medications, as further noted by Healthline. It's another product that you should talk to your pediatrician about before giving some to your baby.
But what causes gas in babies in the first place? Plenty of factors can affect your baby's individual need to be burped. According to many experts, breastfed babies typically do not need burping as much as bottle-fed babies, because they do not gulp down as much air while feeding, according to Baby Center — that doesn't mean that breastfed babies don't ever need to be burped. That said, moms of bottle-fed kids aren't out of luck. Many bottles are now designed to prevent gassiness, as noted in Romper. By feeding your baby in a more upright position, and even using bottles that slow the flow of milk, your baby may be less likely to get gassy in the first place.
It's also worth remembering that not every infant will need burping after each meal. Every baby is a bit different. If your little one seems to be comfortable and happy following these feedings, then you might just have a non-gassy kid.
In fact, some experts think burping babies in general may not be all that necessary. "The theory is that babies swallow air during feedings and the air in their tummies makes them uncomfortable and gassy — hence the ritual of burping," said lactation consultant and nurse Jan Barger in Today's Parent. But in some cases, the baby just does not need to burp. This can cause stress and waste time for everyone involved. "I heard stories of many more exhausted mothers and other caregivers spending hours patting their babies in the middle of the night, trying to wait for the elusive sound of the burp," said researcher and mother Bhavneet Bhart in ScienceNews. Sometimes, though, the belch just isn't there, and trying to make the baby burp is fruitless.
As always, have a chat with your pediatrician if anything about your baby's digestion seems off. Persistent problems with trapped gas probably warrant a doctor's check-up. But keep in mind that sometimes a baby won't burp because he straight-up doesn't need to, and that's perfectly OK.
Check out Romper's new video series, Bearing The Motherload, where disagreeing parents from different sides of an issue sit down with a mediator and talk about how to support (and not judge) each other's parenting perspectives. New episodes air Mondays on Facebook.

SAN BERNARDINO >> Sheriff's detective Dave Clifford isn't only a skilled investigator, he's also this year's recipient of the Chief Patrick G. Crowe Public Safety Award.
Clifford accepted his award at the annual 'Blue Mass' ceremony, held Thursday evening at Our Lady of The Rosary Cathedral, 2525 N. Arrowhead Ave., paying tribute to all emergency personnel.
The Blue Mass first began in 1934, when Rev. Thomas Dade, a priest from the Archdiocese of Baltimore, initiated the Catholic Police and Fireman's Society while assigned to St. Patrick Catholic Church in Washington D.C. On September 29, 1934, about 1,100 police officers and firemen, dressed in blue uniforms, celebrated the first Blue Mass in St. Patrick Catholic Church.
• Photos: 14th Annual Blue Mass Held in San Bernardino
The award is given to a public safety member who exhibits exceptional service to the community, department or church in some way.
Clifford's nomination letter stated that he "clearly goes above and beyond merely just investigating abuse. He comforts those who need it, speaks for those who often can't, and works to bring justice to the children he serves."

Which is the most popular social media platform where you are allowed to use just 140 characters to get your message through? That's right. It's twitter. Launched in March 2006, Twitter managed to grab a place among top social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. People started using 'tweets', messages that were just 140 characters long to engage with messages and interact with the other users. Twitter soon became a platform for major brands and celebrities to express their opinions, short, crisp, and to the point.
Like any other social media platform today, Twitter is an excellent marketing tool owing to the fact that it has over 330 million monthly active users. Moreover, being a microblogging tool, it calls for creativity and innovation from brands that want to tell their stories on Twitter.
In order to use Twitter efficiently as a marketing tool, there is somewhat of a reverse logic that needs to be applied. In marketing, the key requirement is to reach out to a large audience. But, in order to reach a large audience, you have to have a large following as well. No one can market themselves with a following of 200 users. If this is the case, once you have started a twitter account for your business, your goal is to gain a large following. While this sounds easy enough, in theory, it is a difficult task in reality. It takes time and a lot of effort to grow the number of your followers through organic method. Naturally, if your business is in the initial stages, you have neither the time nor the patience to wait that long especially if you have investments at stake. So, in order to shorten the waiting time and speed up business, you may have to get more twitter followers from boostlize.
While this may sound surprising, it is actually a great idea to improve the exposure of your brand, not to mention that it increases the trust of your users. There is a logical explanation for this fact. Users are driven by the masses. A Twitter account with a large number of follower seems to be more reliable and trustworthy than a page with a comparatively lower number of followers. In addition, after reaching a certain number of followers, you will automatically begin to generate even more followers organically. In short, purchasing twitter followers can be seen as an initial investment for your brand to catch up on twitter.
Once you have decided to purchase your twitter followers, the next step is to hunt down reliable websites that offer such services. Take a look below to find some of the most reliable websites that offer Twitter followers in the United Kingdom.
Greedier social media

Tip: Always choose a provider who can give you either decent quality or good quality Twitter followers. Twitter followers with decent quality are those followers who have a real profile, complete with images, comments, and followers. There is, however, a slight hiccup in that these followers will not have been active on Twitter for quite some time.
A good quality Twitter follower is one who interacts with you. The follower has a real profile and is actively using Twitter. The follower will probably like your images, comment, and engage with you. The best providers give their clients Twitter followers falling into this category.
Having good quality Twitter followers will make your page appear more genuine and when other users see that plenty of your followers are engaging with you, it builds their trust.

By Peter Binks, Chief Executive Officer, BHERT
This article appeared in FORGE MAGAZINE: Available from newsagents from 14 December 2018.

Over the past decade, as Australia has wrestled with the challenges of its post-resources boom economy, shifting global alliances, and the Brexit-Trump double-whammy to the established order, we have had plenty of opportunity to find fault in our own backyard.
Australia has some of the world's best universities, a set of great research institutions, and companies that rank among the world's best in fields as diverse as banking and finance, mining, agriculture, and medical technology. How is it, then, that according to common perception, these great institutions cannot seem to find a way to work together?
It is a proposition almost unchallenged in the public domain that Australian companies and universities cannot collaborate. This is supported by the oft-cited OECD statistic from 2015 that Australian companies rank 33rd – out of 33 – in company–university collaboration relating to innovation.
That OECD analysis is patently wrong. It systematically undercounts more than 10,000 formal partnerships between 38 Australian universities and a range of Australian companies. These partnerships represent an annual investment of more than $1.2 billion – a figure that is growing by more than five per cent year-on-year.
Any of the 230 industry executives, university leaders and community managers who were at Melbourne's Park Hyatt on 13 November for the annual Business Higher Education Round Table (BHERT) Awards could have testified that there is no shortage of extraordinary partnerships between Australian universities, companies, and community organisations.
The BHERT Awards are in their 21st year, celebrating the very best university-based partnerships in the country. The winners are those collaborations that not only demonstrate impact at a national level, but also derive their value from an innovative approach to bringing disparate cultures together. In 2018, BHERT had the highest number of submissions ever received and, in the view of a high-calibre panel of judges, the entrants boasted the greatest quality and diversity of initiatives yet seen.
2018's winners include:
The partnerships recognised by BHERT are not overnight sensations; they have been in place for several decades, saved lives, generated millions of dollars in GDP, resulted in new companies, and shaped the way we support disadvantaged communities.
Australia's Chief Scientist, Dr Alan Finkel AO, is leading the call for a better understanding of Australia's collaboration performance. Like BHERT, he sees the OECD 2015 analysis as a flawed representation of Australia's performance. An attitudinal survey using 2011 numbers, where the survey base does not match that for the other OECD nations, cannot accurately reflect Australian universities' collaborative efforts.
That being said, there does need to be a measure of our performance and potential. BHERT's British sister organisation, the National Centre for Universities and Business (NCUB), publishes a 'State of the Relationship' report each year, which has a total of 16 different indicators organised into four categories:
The performance of each indicator is compared with its own five-year average. The NCUB metric is complex, but it does a thorough job of assessing the extent, diversity, and engagement of university partnerships. BHERT supports the Chief Scientist's call for a better measure of Australian university collaboration performance, which the Department of Industry, Innovation, and Science is currently exploring. In the meantime, BHERT places great weight on empirical and economic measures.
There are several available:
Some powerful examples of current university–industry collaborations include:
BHERT is not calling for complacency; our message is that Australia is doing well in many aspects of industry–university collaboration, but that we can do much better. Moreover, to drive economic growth and to properly address many of our societal challenges, enhanced partnerships between our universities and our companies and industries are essential.
It's largely agreed that the most significant areas of improvement in Australia are the engagement of small to medium-sized enterprises with universities, and the translation of research and development into economic outcomes and products.
There is considerable activity underway already to address these challenges. Notably, a cross-sectoral summit – hosted by the Group of Eight universities (Go8) and BHERT in Canberra on 29 October – took initial steps towards a new conversation. Go8 and BHERT brought together around 50 leaders, including the CEOs of 15 small to medium-sized enterprises, to discuss industry–university collaboration. The group identified opportunities to overcome barriers to partnerships, including:
Collaboration is often costly, requiring new investment and dedication of resources. This also presents risk, with there being no guarantee of productive outcomes for all parties.
The summit therefore addressed ways to optimise government support of business–university research collaboration, with key takeaways being a need for reframed department thinking, and a call for smarter policies and direct funding instead of the current tax rebate mechanisms.
With the government's innovation initiatives currently stalling, however, companies and universities are taking the lead, and working to establish operating frameworks in the absence of policy direction.
BHERT's aim, along with numerous partners such as the Go8, is to change the dialogue around industry– university collaboration in Australia.
Critically, the national conversation has shifted from innovation to collaboration, with the focus now being on real partnerships between real companies and universities, producing real products, real financial outcomes, real jobs, and real benefits to Australia. In many ways, collaboration is the new innovation, with successful collaboration offering great potential for Australia. It is up to us to keep the momentum going.

A Secret Weapon For 10 days in sri lanka– Victoria Park is probably the "attractions". It absolutely was inexperienced, with a few flowers blooming and wonderful for a short wander, but it was nothing at all Unique rather than definitely worth the time in my opinion.

Hoping to head to Yosemite on Highway 120 this summer? Not so fast
Snowmelt flowing over the roadway, along with a variety of infrastructure repairs being made, combine to keep Highway 120/Tioga Road closed through Yosemite National Park, according to the park and Caltrans.
There's no estimated opening date for the route, which is closed to all traffic, including bicycles. In years with similar snowpack, the road has opened in late June or early July. In recent dry years – 2012-16 – it opened no later than mid-May, according to a chart on the nps.gov website.
The park and its partners are repairing power, communications, water and sewer systems along Tioga Road following a record-breaking year for winter snowpack. "The park is diligently working to ensure that adequate sanitation facilities are in place to meet visitor needs and to protect the water quality in the Tuolumne River watershed," says a Yosemite news release.
Visitors entering the park through the Highway 120/Big Oak Flat entrance still can get to Yosemite Valley on Big Oak Flat Road. The Tioga Road closure extends from Tuolumne Grove, east of Crane Flat, to the Tioga Pass entrance station, The Fresno Bee reports. Vehicles cannot drive to Tuolumne Meadows nor enter the park from the east.
April snow surveys indicated that in its high elevations, the park saw the highest snowpack on record. In many locations above 8,000 feet, it measured over 200 percent of average, based on water content, according to the National Park Service.
Now, warm summer weather has increased snowmelt, resulting in high water levels that are fluctuating daily, Yosemite reports.
For more information, contact Yosemite National Park at 209-372-0200.

Jan 31 (Reuters) - U.S. industrial conglomerate General Electric Co reported a $666 million profit for the fourth quarter, recovering from the $23 billion charge it took three months ago as it began restructuring under a new chief executive.
On a per share basis, GE reported profit from continuing operation of 8 cents, compared with a loss of $1.29 cents per share a year ago. On an adjusted basis, GE earned 17 cents per share. (Reporting by Rachit Vats in Bengaluru Editing by Saumyadeb Chakrabarty)

text: Shadia Bseiso made headlines in October, becoming the first Arab female performer to sign with World Wresting Entertainment Inc. [Satish Kumar/Reuters] It was never Shadia Bseiso's plan to become a WWE wrestler. The 31-year-old Jordanian athlete, versed in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, had built her career on-camera as a live events and sports presenter. "I wanted to be as accomplished as possible as an athlete so that I could gain a lot of credibility as a sports entertainment presenter. That's what I had in mind," she tells Al Jazeera. In January 2017, Shadia was invited to a casting audition to host the first World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. (WWE) show in Arabic, "Wal3ooha" - meaning "light it up" - in Dubai. But spotting her potential to become a WWE Superstar, the sports entertainment company offered Shadia a chance to compete at the invitation-only athlete tryouts. She seized the opportunity and made headlines in October, becoming the first Arab woman to sign with WWE. "I would like people from the region to first be proud. I would like to make them proud as an athlete and as an entertainer and as the first Arab woman to sign with WWE," says Shadia. "It's a really big deal and a very big responsibility." Shadia was born and raised in the Jordanian capital, Amman [Satish Kumar/Reuters] Under a developmental contract with WWE, Shadia has relocated to Orlando, Florida, where she is being coached at the company's training centre in the hope that she will be scooped up by popular WWE TV wrestling shows such as SmackDown and RAW. "Bseiso's athletic abilities, confidence, and natural charisma - the last of which she showcased as a bilingual TV presenter - earned her the opportunity to further develop her skills with WWE," the organisation said upon signing her on. Shadia says she was surprised to find herself working with WWE. "The road to WWE when you're from the Middle East was never clear. There weren't any tryouts. You see athletes of Arab heritage, but [they are] people who grew up in Canada or in the UK. None from the region," she says. "This is why this is so beautiful right now for this generation and the next generation and the one to come. Girls and guys can grow up in the Middle East and say: 'I want to be a WWE superstar'." The path to WWE The presenter-turned-athlete was born and raised in the Jordanian capital, Amman. She started her career as a radio show host at a young age in Lebanon, where she was completing a Bachelor's degree in Business Studies at the American University of Beirut. After graduating, she moved to Dubai where she continued working in radio before setting up her own company, SDB Media, for live presenting shows. {articleGUID} From hosting for Hugo Boss alongside actor Gerard Butler to events for Nike, Porsche and Pepsi, Shadia quickly became a recognised name in the field of live presenting. At the same time, she trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and CrossFit and competed regularly in the UAE. "Shadia is a very hard worker. She was the first among my siblings and I to land a job at around 15 or 16," her sister, Jehan, tells Al Jazeera from the Lebanese capital, Beirut. "I absolutely felt that she would do big things. She is very determined whenever she puts her mind to something - she is the kind of person who does not procrastinate," says Jehan. Social stigma Sports seems to run in the family. Shadia's other sister, Arifa, is the head of the women's national boxing team in Jordan and a brand ambassador for Nike in the Middle East. She was featured in an online Nike commercial, which went viral, aimed at smashing stereotypes about female athletes in the Arab world. What will they say about you? Maybe they'll say you showed them what was possible.#believeinmore #nike pic.twitter.com/rqn24qpDsn — Nike (@Nike) March 8, 2017 In some countries in the region, women continue to face social stigma when choosing to pursue sports as a career. Aline Bannayan, a veteran Amman-based sports journalist, says Shadia's recognition on the international scene is representative of progress in the region. "Bseiso's achievement, regardless of what the sport is, speaks for itself. It will open the door for other women," Bannayan told Al Jazeera. {articleGUID} "Ten, 15 years ago, women's football in the region did not exist. Jordan is now going to host the Asian women's cup next month," she continued. "The stereotypes are slowly being eroded, and a lot of walls are being broken down," said Bannayan, adding that while wrestling is not a common sport in the region, "this achievement is important regardless". Gender equality, says Shadia, is of utmost importance. As her fame rises, commentary about Shadia circulates on the internet. "If you go online - you'll find all sorts of opinions," says Shadia in response to a question about being judged. "I am completely okay with people having their opinions. I always surround myself with a very positive circle - you need that, really." {articleGUID} "I want to be a positive role model. I hope that I truly change the image and for it not to be an issue for girls to want to do whatever they want to do," she says. "I'm going to work as hard as possible to show that females in the region are empowered, unstoppable, ambitious, goal-oriented and winners. That's the goal." WWE's depiction of Arabs as villains But battling gender stereotypes at home might not be Shadia's only challenge; WWE has had a controversial past with its depiction of Arab characters. In 2005, the network portrayed an Italian-American wrestler, Mark Copani, as an Arab-American, giving him the stage name "Muhammad Hassan" and having him appear in a "terrorism" storyline. The show aired on the same day the London bombings took place - July 7, 2005, which caused an uproar and led WWE to abruptly end Copani's career. And, during the 1980s wrestling boom, WWE often depicted wrestlers of Middle Eastern origin as villains. During the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, General Adnan, an Iraqi, Colonel Mustafa, an Iranian, and Sgt Slaughter, an American, were portrayed as "Iraqi sympathisers" wearing Arab headdresses and donning Iraqi flags on their military stage uniforms. They were referred to as the "Triangle of Terror". {articleGUID} When asked whether she would agree to perform against the backdrop of similar storylines, Shadia chose to be diplomatic and refrained from commenting. For now, she is headed full steam ahead to the WrestleMania show. "You see people who were at the performance centre three and four years ago; they are now huge superstars on WWE SmackDown and RAW. "It's doable, and I'm gonna do it."

The Garrett/Ladd Story
Ladd's, Inc. has served southeastern Michigan residents since 1906. The firm was founded as E. W. Eyster Real Estate, a land development and real estate company located in downtown Detroit. Eyster decided to move closer to his base of operations in 1933, relocating his company to Royal Oak.
Eyster sold his interest in 1947 to Lyster C. Ladd (a salesman who had joined Eyster in 1924) and soon thereafter, the firm was renamed Ladd's, Inc. In 1961, Ladd made the decision to move his office to the mushrooming suburb of Troy, and six years later sold the company to his sales manager, Joel A. Garrett.
Under the leadership of Joel, and children Dale and Ann, the firm developed more than 100 subdivisions in southeastern Michigan including Emerald Lakes in Troy, Avon Lakes Village in Rochester Hills, Barclay Lake Village and Clear Spring Lake in Shelby Township.
Today, Ladd's Inc. is lead by Joel's daughter, Ann Sobey, and is the exclusive sales and marketing company of Garrett Homes.

Your orthodontist knows you probably have plenty of questions about getting braces. Here are a few that prospective patients often ask.
In order to determine your specific needs, the orthodontist will completely evaluate your mouth. This will likely include:
Your orthodontist will then carefully evaluate your specific needs and provide you with a treatment plan for correction. Following the recommended plan is important for proper correction.
Teeth normally fit tightly against one another. Your orthodontist will insert before placement of your braces to provide some space between teeth for attaching the bands. There are two types of spacers, small springs or plastic modules. In just a few days they gently move desired teeth slightly apart.
Spacers often cause some soreness, but this goes away in a few days. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to relieve the irritation. Your normal chewing also helps to get your mouth feeling better.
Call your orthodontist immediately for a replacement. That little spacer is making just enough room for a comfortable fit for your braces and plays an important role.
You can eat just about anything, but there are some exceptions. Getting used to braces also usually means making a few adjustments in your eating habits. This is because some food might damage your orthodontic braces or cause problems for your teeth. Here's a list of items your orthodontist will suggest you avoid (or some ways they can still be enjoyed with caution):
By Brian J. Gray, DDS, MAGD, FICO
A vast majority of adults and adolescents can be helped with Invisalign invisible braces treatment. Invisible braces are one of the cosmetic dentistry options that can work for your teeth!

Marvels Black Panther
Black Panther is Marvel Studios first movie with a black superhero in the lead, something for which fans have spent a long time asking. The trailers make this movie look amazing, and the buzz is high for Black Panther. It's not one of the most anticipated films of 2018 for no reason. Most Marvel introductory solo movies do well, but they don't usually perform at the level of a Marvel sequel or Avengers movie. However, those movies didn't have this level of excitement, and I think that certain factors will propel this movie over the likes of Doctor Strange and Ant-Man. It could very well end up being Marvel's highest grossing non-sequel movie.
Story line for the movie
After the proceedings of Captain America: Civil War, King T'Challa returns home to the isolated, technically advanced African nation of Wakanda to serve as his country's new leader. However, T'Challa soon finds that he is challenged for the throne from groups within his own country. When two adversaries conspire to destroy Wakanda, the hero known as Black Panther must team up with C.I.A. agent Everett K. Ross and members of the Dora Milaje, Wakanadan special forces, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.
Soundtrack Will Be Produced And Curated By Kendrick Lamar
The 30-year-old artist was hand-picked by Coogler who said he was "honored to be working with such an incredible artist whose work has been so inspirational, and whose artistic themes align with those we explore in the film."
"Working on such a powerful movie is a great opportunity. We're always working on new goals at TDE, so teaming up with Disney, Marvel Studios and the Black Panther film makes perfect sense," added Tiffith.
It was obvious that hip-hop would play a large role in the Marvel movie when "Legend Has It" by Run The Jewels played during the film's first teaser trailer back in June.

USD/CAD supported by 55-hour SMA
The US Dollar began to weaken against the Canadian Dollar on Wednesday after the currency pair failed to move above the upper boundaries of both a descending trendline and the upper trendline.
The 55-hour simple moving average is currently providing support for the currency pair to push higher.
Everything being equal, it is likely that the USD/CAD currency exchange rate continue moving in the ascending channel until it reaches the upper boundary of its pattern during the following trading session.

Hey, I wanted to see [insert film title], but missed it. Can I borrow it from you? or Can I get a copy for my collection?
Short answer: No, I'm sorry, but you can't.
Long answer: No, I'm sorry, you can't because we have to mail many of the films to their next festival (for example, the Animation Show), and/or the filmmaker has specified to us that his/her film not be distributed outside of the festival, or the only copy of the film we had was on 35mm, and what would you have done with that?
So what do you do if you want a copy of one of the films we screened last weekend? Contact the filmmaker directly, or visit the film's website to see if there is any distribution news.
But as much as we are thrilled that you liked our selection, there's really nothing we can do.

|So as you all know, I throw an Oscar party every year. And though I had planned on a big bash yet again this year, it seemed almost everyone was out of town! I still had a get-together, but since my guest list was pretty small, I opted to make dinner instead of the usual all-out soiree. I found this amazing beet risotto recipe and knew instantly it would be perfect for the occasion: the intense red color is so reminiscent of the red carpet! And the fresh lemon zest adds the perfect golden accent, just like the coveted golden statues of the evening! Even though the awards are over, I still urge you to try this recipe. It is truly outstanding and worth a celebration of its own! oxox, Chelle

Megan has her own definitive style, mixing classical influences with beats to create a unique and original sound. Her operatic approach links to an almost 'drum and bass' feel at times creating a surreal re-incarnation almost reminiscent of the 'Blue Diva'. Her first original single release 'CRY DON'T CRY' [available now] features an extended mix demonstrating fully her amazing vocal talent.
She has been singing since the age of 13, gaining her first real opportunities to perform on stage during her school years appearing in 'MacBeth', 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' and 'Evita'. She has also toured Austria soloing with a full choir to rave reviews across the country.
The maturity of her voice belies her years as she is already creating interest across the music industry with powerful performances and haunting melodies, giving her an original and refreshing sound for today's music scene.

I have to confess that the second half of 2014 was, relatively speaking, a politically inactive time for me. We've been blessed with the birth of our baby daughter in November and I expect to be starting a new job next month. While I am not a target parliamentary candidate, I'm clearly going to be doing a lot more in the coming four months, but our progress in Liverpool isn't about me, it is about the future. The fundraising appeal is on the right of this blog, so if you feel inspired to support us, please click on the link.
Last year, we leapt from being the smallest group on the council to become the official opposition. We had brilliant results in both St Michaels and Greenbank wards, doubling our councillor total to 4. The collapse of the Liberal Democrats across the city saw them drop to just 3 councillors. They still have the experienced political operator Richard Kemp here in Church ward, but after failing to hold the seat in 2014, it's likely that he and the last Liberal Democrat councillor in Woolton, will be swept away in an increased General Election turnout.
We saw first hand the effects of increased General Election turnout in 2010. In local terms we were on track to take the third seat back then. Tom Crone had already been doing case work for years as part of the team, and the Liberal Democrats (defending their last seat in the ward) had parachuted in a last minute unknown candidate. Cleggmania then kicked in as a result of the Leader debates and gave a huge boost to the Liberal Democrats in postal votes. It was enough to enable them to hold the seat. After my loss to Nick Griffin in 2009, seeing Tom fail to gain that seat for us 2010 was the second most disappointing moment I've experienced. We won't let that happen again.
In 2015 we will see Liverpool's longest serving Green councillor step down. John Coyne joined us just before the 2006 Local Elections and will have served as a Green councillor for 9 years (he was a Lib Dem councillor for 4 years in a time when many Lib Dems had been elected due to their opposition to the Iraq war). He has been our group leader twice and was our Mayoral candidate in 2012. He has accelerated our development as a party significantly and has given tremendous service to the party locally, regionally and nationally. St Michael's ward will also have to select a replacement and there are two real contenders.
Anna Key has been selected to defend the seat. I know Anna personally through voluntary work. She is incredibly hard working, intelligent and capable. She is also rooted in the St Michael's community, living there with her family. She would make an excellent local councillor and would also make a bit of history as Liverpool's first Polish born councillor.
Labour have made an unusual selection. Steve Fitzsimmons has experience as a ward councillor for Woolton and lost his seat in 1998. Whenever I've come across Steve at election counts in the past, he has always been very polite and engaged in a bit of conversation.
Despite the smiling faces of some of our Liverpool Labour councillors in the photos, the tough task for Labour will be motivating activists to work for Steve in the run up to the election. He was a Conservative. To be fair, he said in 2011 that he was joining Labour because the coalition cuts were too deep. However, he is also on record as having been a "Thatcherite". Across the water there is the marginal seat of Wirral West for Parliament, being contested by Margaret Greenwood for Labour against Esther McVey. I was once a Labour activist in the run up to a General Election in 1997, and I know where I would have been focusing my efforts.
In Greenbank ward, where the awesome efforts of Lawrence Brown and his team won the seat in 2014, we are up against an incumbent Labour councillor in 2015, Laura Robertson-Collins. She won the seat from the widely respected and long serving Liberal Democrat councillor Paul Clein. He was swept away in the first post-coalition local election in Liverpool. Our candidate is David Morgan. He has been working hard alongside Lawrence since we won the seat and there is now a very real choice for voters in Greenbank at the local elections.
In the 2010 there were only two wards where the Liberal Democrats look to have outpolled Labour in the General Election - those were St Michaels and Greenbank. This seems to be evidence that there is no "natural" Labour majority in these wards even on an increased turnout. For those reasons, winning both St Michaels and Greenbank has to be the starting point for us in 2015. The Liberal Democrats likely to be reduced to just 1 seat on the council, Jake Morrison stepping down as an independent and even fortress Tuebrook under threat for Steve Radford's Liberals (I'm sure there is scope for lots of misleading "Liberal coalition" type literature that might swing it at a General Election).
Right now the council seems to be heading to a minimum of 81 Labour councillors out of 90. That isn't healthy for local democracy. If we can increase our council group even with the challenge of differential turnout, we can give Liverpool a real opposition voice. There are other possible Green gains that I'll speak about, but the next blog in this series will be all about Liverpool Riverside and our challenge across the constituency.

Hamlet by Plastic Theatre
I'm always up for a challenge and a bit of stress sweat, so when I heard my friend and actor Sharon Sutton was playing in Hamlet, I asked if I could come and video the play, only half aware of what was going to happen that night !
They were playing at Pearse Centre on Pearse St, near the Trinity Hotel. It's running until the 9th actually, from 7.30pm.
It was all at 200%, all the excitement and energy from the cast like palpable euphoric bubbles in the air, simply a magic moment !
Shooting a long, rather continuous and moving scene(s) with the 5DmkII is a tough one, and I think I handled the challenge well but there were so many factors to think about, it certainly takes a good bit of experience until I absolutely nail it.
I still had vivid memories of a crazy 2 hour long talk where the speaker (an IT super duper expert in his field AND the most focused and continuous talker I've seen in a long time !) which made me hang on to every words and intonations, waiting for the right time to cut the video before it would be too late (from my experience, the max clip length on the 5D is anywhere between 12 and 13minutes...). Since then, I bought a 32GB card it ahah in your face long scenes! well, that resolves the problem of having to change cards when really you dont want to but not the length of clips.
I had my usual camera...I could have taken a second 5D mkII but realised it wouldn't be manageable with the amount of memory it consumes. So instead I had a Q3 HD next to it and a H1 on the edge of the stage to get a nearer sound as I was set up at the back of the room. I have to say running through the different light set up with the light designer was so helpful especially when I didn't see most of the material before so there was already a lot of factors to adjust from on the spot, it was good to know what kind of range of exposures I'd have to go through and what were the best combinations.
Now I have 3 hours of footage from 2 cameras and one recorder to go through :-D I ll let you know how I get on !

It was exactly one year ago when I experienced a sudden need for change: I felt that my lifestyle could be improved and it was time to take better care of myself. Long hours for my job at a branding agency and on top being model, photoshop wizard and girl for everything for my blog had left his marks. I didn't feel as fit as I wished, even if I never had issues with overweight. A glass of champagne at endless blogger events, compensation of stress through chocolate and my main exercise being a few steps to the bus were just not the best I could do for my future. Besides, as a fashion girl, it just matters to me that I fit into all crazy dresses and they look good on me.
Before I had a concrete plan, the plan found me: My blogger friend Jesca Li released a post, about her experience with a program at Atlas Transformation in Zurich that combines one-to-one EMS personal training (electrical muscle stimulation), a metabolism cure and weekly semi-personal training group sessions (once or twice per week training with 3-8 attendees). What convinced me was the proof in form of her before and after pictures: The difference is just remarkable and I thought if she could do this, I could too. Before I had second-thoughts I booked my first appointment.
When I arrived at the gym which is at a very central location very close to Bellevue I was positively surprised: Atlas Transformation turned out to be nothing like the gyms I've known, but a small and sophisticated studio that makes you feel comfortable whenever you step in. My trainer Jenny and me had a lovely chat about my goals and right from the beginning I felt in good hands and still love her encouraging and positive way.
I started with EMS and the Barre Fusion class, both once a week. In the beginning, the training was very challenging for me: I never did a plank before and my coordination was just a disaster. But the newly found motivation kept me going and it also helped to get in touch with the girls from my group training to exchange experiences. I love the EMS training because of its effectivity: The electrical impulses target muscle reactions while you train and that's what makes a short 30 minutes feel like an hour of regular workout. I usually do the EMS during my lunch break. That they have amazing plant-based healthy snacks such as a delicious acai bowl is very handy then.
During the personal training sessions, Jenny is always generous with inspiration, as an example, it was her who made me fall in love with smoothies and say goodbye to alcohol almost completely. All she needed was to tell me once: No pressure, no sinister words of warning, just motivation! Being a vegetarian since I was fourteen I also decided to go fully plant-based and it was extremely helpful that a wholesome plant-based diet is part of the Atlas Transformation philosophy.
It didn't take long until I saw results and that hooked me up for more. I kept my curves but my body changed and I even fit into the clothes I used to wear when I was 17, omg! And indeed my metabolic age went from 22 to 19, I dropped my weight by 5 kg, decreased my body and viszeral fat with keeping my muscle weight at the same time. I reached my finetuning goals for my shape, gained posture improvement and increased my body awareness through this training combination.
But the probably most surprising part of my change is that I started to enjoy exercise. I didn't want to admit it in the first place because I carefully built the image of being the pale fashion girl who despised sports, but now it's time to get rid of that old me: New me feels better, healthier and happier and you just can't keep her from going!

Kebabs & Curries
Time Out says
Sitting above the street chaos that surrounds Mustafa, Singapore's latest rooftop restaurant can be visited in flip-flops, shorts are not frowned upon, the bill doesn't dig deep into your wallet and children are kept happily amused by jumping fountains. Kebabs & Curries achieves a perfect balance of tacky and charming, with the dining space divided between an indoor space under a glass and steel dome filled with fake flowers and bright neon lights, and an open-air wooden deck offering views of the busy Little India streets from above. The menu is filled with northern and southern Indian staples. Two kitchens keep separate the prep and cooking of vegetarian and meat dishes: garlic- and butter-slathered naan and skewers of tandoor spiced chicken roast in the kitchen's clay oven, while the creamy dahl makhani simmers and crisp dosa is rolled in a meat-free setting. Kebabs & Curries is booze-free; all the better to toss back the perfectly tart, chilled mango lassi ($3) sprinkled with dried coconut – we've anointed it the best lassi in town.
Main courses $5-$8.

On Friday night, sold out O2 Academy witnessed the Slaves live experience. It was no surprise that the 1,200 capacity Liverpool venue was packed to the rafters as the Kent duo are about as mainstream as UK punk bands get nowadays.
From their 2015 breakthrough with debut album 'Are You Satisfied?' to their strong follow-up 'Take Control' released just a year later, they built a large fan base through several nationwide tours, big festival appearances and some fans at Radio 1.
The whole room was heaving long before Slaves' fellow Kent natives and label-mates Lady Bird left the stage. When the headliners emerged in front of a neon sign reading the band's name, you could tell immediately they meant business. With drummer and vocalist Isaac already bare-chested, they wasted no time, hurtling straight into the frenetic 'Sockets'.
There was plenty to choose from in a varied set that was a grand total of 17 tracks in length. It was a chance to hear some songs from the recently released third album 'Acts of Fear and Love' for the first time for some fans, while a couple from the Slaves back catalogue such as the 2014 track 'Beauty Quest' went down a treat.
I was massively impressed by the energy from the pair the two times I had seen them live previous to Friday night, once in Scotland at T in the Park and once at Manchester's Albert Hall two years ago. I was glad to see nothing has changed with these boys as guitarist Laurie clambers on top of the speakers and Isaac relentlessly hammers his drum kit and screams his lyrics until he is literally drenched in sweat. "Look at my trousers, I'm soaked through" he mutters into the mic during a momentary breather.
Not only the performance deserves praise, but so does Slaves' audience interaction that is such an important part of their live shows. From their little anecdotes about how their songs were written and starting the now customary chant of 'f**k the hi-hat!' and even encouraging everyone to hug the person next to them because it's 'all about the love'.
The reception for new singles 'Magnolia' and 'Chokehold' were brilliant and Slaves obviously fed off the crowd's enthusiasm. The album Acts of Fear and Love has been well-received in general and if the rest of the tour lives up to the standards set in Liverpool, I can't imagine that being any different.

The public watch body turned to court last month for an order setting aside the decision of Sassa to pay R317-million to Cash Paymaster Services (CPS) regarding the registration and payment of grant beneficiaries.
In a damning judgment, the judge found that the payment was unlawful and affected for ulterior purposes or motive. She also said the payment is not rationally connected with the purpose for which it was made.
Judge Tsoka said: "As a result of Sassa's unlawful conduct, the fiscus has been robbed of a substantial amount of money intended for the most vulnerable and poor people of our country. The fiscus is poorer as it did not receive fair value for what it paid."
"It is just and equitable that the payment of R316 447 361 made by Sassa to CPS, together with interest, be returned to the fiscus for the benefit of those for whom it was intended in the first place. This, in my view, is a just and equitable remedy that would effectively vindicate the fair process violated by the parties. The remedy would entrench the rule of law."
Advocate Steven Budlender, acting for CW, earlier argued that the decision taken by Sassa to vary a services contract with CPS for the distribution of social grant payments to the poorest of society, was at the heart of this case.
CW argued that the variation, which resulted in Sassa paying CPS R317 m, was unlawful. Budlender said the money was paid in circumstances where the parties had not even agreed a cost for the varied services and where Sassa had failed to establish that this amount was even owed to CPS. "This is irrational," he said.
Judge Tsoka agreed with these arguments and said this payment was unreasonable and made without any valid reasons.
