Hey everyone!
I'm really excited to share with you all this special audio story I got to write, record, and produce for one of the podcasts that I follow, This Filipino American Life. As part of a new series of guest-produced audio stories they're doing, I'm thrilled to share with you all "About Tita;" a reflection on my Great Aunt Justita's life and how it intertwines with my own.
This was originally an essay that I had written a few years ago, but has never been published before. However, when I was approached by one of the members of the podcast to produce an audio story for them, I knew that this would make for the perfect opportunity to share it. Justita was a very special person in my dad's life, and even though I never knew her, she's a guide in mine as well.
The audio story's release makes for very special timing, for this month actually marks 25 years since my first and only meeting with her. To take this anniversary and make it even more unique is a very humbling experience.
Many thanks to the TFAL team for letting me share this meaningful story. Please go give it a listen. If you like what you hear, check out the other episodes on the podcast and consider subscribing as well!
Hey TFALers! Here's a bonus episode brought to you by TFAL superfan, Lauren Lola. We are collecting any stories that is out there in the Filipino American community. If you have any audio stories to share, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com!! Listen through the embedded player below, download directly here or subscribe to us on […]

The Office of the Secretary to Government of the Federation (OSGF) has entered into partnership with the Nasarawa State government for the rapid industrialization of the state.
This followed a meeting between the Nasarawa State Governor, Engr. Abdullahi Audu Sule and the Permanent Secretary, Special Duties Office (SDO), OSGF, Engr. Festus Daudu, on Thursday in Lafia, the state capital.
The governor expressed the hope that the partnership will improve on the economic potential of the state and which can in turn add value to the nation's economic interest. According to the governor, the state is safe and open for investment by prospective investors.
Sule said industrialization remains the focal point of his administration which seeks to create job opportunities for the teeming unemployed in the state as part of measures to reducing the poverty level.
"For us in Nasarawa state, our aim is to embark on industrialization of the state and so with the sensitive nature of the special duties office, we hope that this could be achieved if they assure prospective investors of the safety of the state," Sule said.
Speaking earlier, Engr. Daudu assured that his office will always be available where appropriate to partner with the state government at all times to render service in any area required in order to move the state forward.
According to him, the mandate of his office which include, monitoring the implementation of all federal government decisions that have policies, programmes and projects embedded in them and the verification and authorization of payments of all federal government interventions and zonal/constituency projects among others are key to the success of the state government development plans.
He said his office visit to the state is part of the measures of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration of rapid economic growth of the country.
The Permanent Secretary, who was accompanied by the four parastatals under his supervision, also visited the Emir of Lafia, Justice Sidi Mohammed Bage.

Publisher Crescent Moon Games announced that Morphite, the atmospheric exploration sci-fi shooter with platforming elements from Blowfish Studios, will launch on the 7th of September.
Set in a distant future where humanity has colonized the far reaches of space, Morphite follows the story of Myrah Kale, a young woman whose life takes a sudden turn when a routine mission develops into an interstellar adventure revealing her mysterious past and connection to the coveted substance Morphite.
Myrah will voyage to the furthest corners of space to explore uncharted planets with diverse landscapes teeming with exotic flora and fauna. With the help of a scanner, Myrah can sell the biological information of organic lifeforms she comes across to purchase upgrades for her ship, suit and weapons.
Inside Myrah's vessel, players will face random encounters in real-time combat, trade with other space travelers and utilize an easy-to-use Starmap to navigate a galaxy full of hand-crafted worlds where the fully-voiced main story takes place as well as procedurally-generated planets brimming with side quests.
Morphite is an atmospheric sci-fi shooter with inspiration drawn from classic console games including Ratchet and Clank, Metroid Prime and Turok. With those roots, bringing Morphite to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is a natural fit, and we look forward to sharing our universe with everyone this September.
Morphite will launch for PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch, and iOS devices.

The next day Jesus was walking through town when John the Baptist called out: 'Look! I see the Lamb of God!', then John's two disciples quickly followed after Jesus. He turned around when He noticed them following Him and asked: 'what is it that you want?' Andrew (Simon-Peter's brother) and Philip exchanged a glance and Andrew replied: 'Rabbi we wondered where You were staying.' Jesus replied: 'come and I'll show you.'. They made their way through the narrow streets and then gathered into the small room as Jesus patiently spent time teaching and sharing what was on His heart. Late into the night Jesus looked intently at Simon and declared: 'you will be called Cephas' Peter looked at Him with surprise 'Lord do You mean rock or Peter?' Jesus smiled 'You will see'.
After a refreshing night's sleep Jesus set out to find Phillip and invited him to join him, Philip readily agreed and went searching for Nathanael to tell him to good news. It wasn't a hard search and Phillip excitedly declared: 'We've found the person Moses and the great prophets spoke about! His name is Jesus, to son of Joseph from Nazareth!', Nathanael looked at him with surprise 'Nazareth? I haven't heard of anything good coming from there!' Phillip urged him: 'please come and meet Him, see for yourself.'. As Nathanael approached Jesus he heard Him declare: 'now here comes a genuine son of Israel, a true descendant of Jacob. Here is a man of complete integrity, there is no deceit hidden in his heart.' Nathanael looked at Jesus with surprise 'how do You know all this about me?' Jesus smiled and replied: 'I saw you under the fig tree long before Phillip found you.' Nathanael fell onto his knees and proclaimed; 'Rabbi! You are the new King of Israel. You are the One we have waited for, the Son of God!' Jesus pulled Nathanael to his feet 'do you really believe all of that?' Nathanael nodded with tears of joy flowing down his face, Jesus looked intently into his eyes 'do you believe just because of what I said?' Nathanael shook his head and replied: 'I know You are Him.' Jesus smiled 'Oh you will see great things! You will see the heavens open and sight heavenly beings, you will understand that I'm the stairway between heaven and earth.'. The other disciples didn't understand what Jesus was saying but a deep revelation hit Nathanael's heart and he embraced Jesus.
After another late night of teaching Jesus and His disciples finally managed a few hours of sleep. Wearily they awoke and made their way to a wedding celebration in Cana. When they arrived Mary smiled as her gaze fell upon Jesus, she quickly ran to Him and embraced Him. After a short time chatting the formalities began and the large crowd settled down to witness the ceremony. The wedding feast was a sight to behold, tables were laden with the finest foods and people greedily ate their fill. The wine flowed freely and the mood was merry and light. Late in the night Mary noticed that the groom's mother seemed anxious and concerned, she made her way over 'is everything ok?' the lady turned and tried to smile 'um..' Mary could see her reluctance and pulled her to a quiet corner of the room 'I'd like to help if I can.' The groom's mother smiled 'Oh Mary you've already helped so much, I don't want to burden you further.' Mary grabbed her hand and replied: 'if I can help I will, just tell me what the concern is, please.' The groom's mother reluctantly shared that they had no idea so many people would arrive, looking quite embarrassed she continued to explain that they were almost out of wine. Mary gasped she knew that if that happened the family would be disgraced and much shame would fall upon the newlyweds, the words that she had often heard Rabbi's declare rung in her ears: 'Without wine there is no joy!'. Oh dear she could see the dilemma that the family faced, Mary assured the groom's mother that she would do all that she could and made her way to Jesus. Stooping down she whispered in His ear: 'there is no more wine.' Jesus looked at her puzzled 'that is not my concern.' Mary insisted that He help but He replied: 'Mother, it is simply NOT My time yet.' Mary smiled, patted Jesus' hand and walked to the nearest servants. Within listening distance to Jesus she pointed to Him and said: 'Please do WHATEVER He tells you to do.', she smiled at Jesus and sauntered away. The servants quickly raced to Jesus and looked intently to Him for instruction. Jesus sighed and prayed quietly before instructing them: 'fill those jars with water', Jesus indicated to the six stone jars that were nearby. The servants looked at Him a bit puzzled 'we use those for the ceremonial washing which has been completed.' Jesus sighed and patiently replied: 'please just fill them with water.' The servants nodded and quickly filled the jars. When the jars were full Jesus instructed them to take some out and present it to the master of ceremonies. The servant closest quickly obliged but Jesus could see his hand shaking as he carried the cup, walking up to the master of ceremonies the servant bowed and presented the cup. The man tasted it and exclaimed: 'Oh how wonderful!', beckoning the bridegroom over he declared: 'a host always serves the best wine first and when people have had their fill they usually bring out the less expensive wine.' Taking another sip he continued: 'but you have kept the best until now and what a pleasure it is to taste!'. The master of ceremonies slapped the bridegroom on the back and loudly declared that the best wine was now being served. The crowd let out a loud shout and Mary winked at Jesus. The servants stood amazed and looked at Jesus with curiosity, they dared not question the fact that it was only water that had been served to the master of ceremonies, or was it? The servants gathered around the jugs they were serving from and smelt the surprising scent of a rich wine, they looked at each other with slight fear gripping their hearts, who was this Jesus?
You read the wedding story in the Bible: John 2:1-12.
For more details about the importance of not running out of wine you can read the sermon 'What Do You Do When The Wine Runs Out' by Steven Spence, found at faithlife.com.
Also Biblehub.com has several commentaries that delve into this story.
The disciples can be found mentioned in: John 1:35-50; the first Disciples called: Matthew 4:18-22 & Mark 1:16-20 & Luke 5:1-11; and the 12 Apostles (Matthew 10:1-4 & Mark 2:13-19 & Luke 6:12-16). Those I haven't mentioned yet I'm sure will weave their way in soon.

Main Street Reimagined & District Identifiers | Worcester, MA
Project Summary
The City of Worcester and the Worcester Cultural Coalition recognize creative placemaking, cultural economic development and the arts as powerful tools to improve quality of life and as an opportunity to reimagine the city. The Urban Culture Institute is working with project partners to develop and implement the placemaking strategy. The Main Street Reimagined and the Worcester Wayfinding projects are conceived to reflect elements of Worcester's history, culture and community through the predominant themes of creativity, innovation and revolution.
Main Street Reimagined
Main Street Reimagined complements Worcester's current downtown artery reconstruction as a Complete Street. From north to south, the 1.2-mile long Main Street project stretches from the intersections of Lincoln Square (Highland Street/Belmont Street) in the north to Chandler Street/Madison Street in the south. The reconfigured Main Street will feature bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks with landscaping and street furnishings. Three new plazas will bring more attractive, welcoming frontages to the three downtown theaters along Main Street: the Hanover Theatre, Mechanics Hall and The Palladium. The overall goal is to increase walkability and vibrancy along the Main Street corridor through wayfinding and public art while taking into consideration activation and connectivity between primary nodes.
Main Street Reimagined is expected to create an understanding of the city's place in time and sense of place. The overarching theme is to celebrate Worcester's major achievements, its tradition of innovation, the past, present and future. Worcester was established as a town in 1722, became county seat of Worcester County in 1731, and incorporated as a city in 1848. Highlights of its industrial past include the development of the Smiley Face (Harvey Ball, 1963) and the first spacesuit (David Clark Company, 1965). In July 1776, Worcester residents witnessed the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence in New England. The Free Soil (anti-slavery) Party was founded here in 1848 and the first national convention of women advocating women's suffrage took place in 1850. Like many American cities Worcester is comprised of a diverse array of neighborhoods that have evolved and experienced continuous change and waves of immigration over time. The Worcester Historical Museum's ongoing exhibition program, extensive collections and research library holdings document the city's rich past. Currently, Worcester is experiencing a renaissance, sparked by the tireless joint efforts of its administration and neighborhoods in partnership with civic, economic, academic and cultural institutions as well as the non-profit community.
The following creative placemaking projects are in progress:
Main Street Reimagined Public Art & Streetscape Design, Phase One RFP
The RFP requesting professional artistic design & fabrication services for various furnishings & streetscape art was administered by the City of Worcester Executive Office of Economic Development in 2018. Eligible were artists, artist teams, and design professionals with experience in public art and monumental features. Professionals residing in or with studio space in the city of Worcester and the New England region were encouraged to apply.
Public art nodes at three newly configured plazas will feature landscaping, public art and lighting design:
District Identifiers
Selbert Perkins Design Collaborative previously developed a citywide wayfinding plan for the City of Worcester. Artist-designed wayfinding elements for up to 14 locations throughout the city incorporating public art into District Identifiers are being implemented in the second phase of the Main Street reconstruction project in 2019.

The City invites proposals for creative placemaking streetscape elements.
Main Street Reimagined Budgets
Worcester Wayfinding RFP
Design and fabricate artwork for District Identifier signs scheduled to be installed in certain locations throughout the city of Worcester. Fourteen (14) signs, each featuring three to four artwork panels measuring 5'-3" H x 1'-7 ¾" W, will reflect Worcester's history, culture, and community in creative and interesting ways through particular themes related to creativity, industry, and revolution.
The District Identifiers are part of a system of place-making signage that emphasizes district identification and incorporates public art celebrating Worcester's unique identity. The District Identifier signs are anticipated to be installed in summer 2019. A theme has been carefully selected for each sign location, and the subject matter of the artwork shall relate to these themes. Artists are invited to submit design proposals for one to three of the District Identifier signs. Owing to the number of required artwork panels and project completion timing, it is anticipated that more than one artist/designer will be selected.
Wayfinding Budgets

Importance Of Cutting Branches Of Large Plants
People always prune the branches of shrubs or small plants to keep them in the right shape and to help them grow in the right way. This is something they can do on their own if they know about the right way to prune a tree. However, we also need to take care of large plants by cutting their branches too. This is usually not something we can handle on our own.
First of all, tree pruning requires a lot of hard work when the plant in question is huge. You are going to need man power as well as the help of a number of equipment. Only a professional has all this along with the knowledge about keeping themselves safe while cutting these branches. There are reasons behind cutting branches of large plants.
To Protect the Aesthetic Appeal of the Environment
If we let these plants to grow as they want to they are going to grow as in a forest. When we are living in a civilized area we cannot let that kind of plant growth to happen. It can destroy the aesthetic appeal of the environment by covering the house and the other areas of the property. Especially, when the land is small we need to keep these large plants in the right size to maintain a balance in the environment.
To Keep Everyone Safe
One of the main reasons for cutting branches of large plants with the help of a good surgeon for trees or an arborist is to keep everyone safe. These large plants can have dead branches. If we do not remove them at the right time they can fall down when we least expect it and harm people and property. There are also times when we have to take care of branches that grow towards power lines or towards the buildings in the property. We need to take care of such branches because if we do not everyone in the area could be in danger.
To Get the Right Amount of Shade and Sunlight
We grow plants to keep the environment beautiful. We grow large plants to get shade as well. However, when the branches are too long or too clustered they can make the property dark as the sunlight cannot reach the ground because of the branches. This can be a problem with growing other smaller plants. So, we have to make sure to remove the right amount of branches. We have to get rid of certain branches of large plants because of these reasons.

The ability to take aggregated energy data and draw conclusions around individual energy use has led to a whole new industry of energy reporting and behavioral change. In this week's episode, Tom Plant and Jeff Lyng (pictured) discuss legislation to require comparative energy reporting to utility consumers.
Oregon Representative and Energy Committee Chair Jules Bailey, sponsor of HB 2329 sums up the reasons for introducing legislation this way: "Comparative energy use information is good for consumers. It's cost effective, helps them save money and reduces the need for expensive new energy sources. These programs work, and it's time to expand them."

This morning the UK has a Tory government. Not a coalition, but a full on Conservative government. All the polls were wildly wrong (bar the odd Guardian one that put the Tories six or seven points ahead of Labour) but those astonishing exit polls were spot on. Of course the possibility is that people were ashamed to say they were voting Tory, and right now apart from the diehards social media is curiously absent of people proclaiming that they voted Tory, but still that's oddly not the story of the night.
The story of the night is the SNP. They're on 56 seats out of 59 in Scotland. I think even the most optimistic SNP supporter expected the map of Scotland to look like this compared to five years ago.
One Tory, one Labour, one Lib Dem each left in Scotland. 56 anti-austerity MP's united by a common message and all from a variety of backgrounds outside of the political bubble, and of course the welcome return to Westminster of Alex Salmond who should at the very least make the opposition to the Tories interesting. The SNP now have to live up to the massive mandate they now have at Westminster and will probably get next year at Holyrood.
Everyone else lost. Labour and the Lib Dems got hammered for failing to present an alternative vision and being attached to the Tories respectfully. Labour's failure that started the moment Tony Blair got rid of Clause 4 is now complete and seeing MP's like Douglas Alexander, Margaret Curran and Jim Murphy be kicked out isn't just because they stood with the Tories at the referendum last year, but because they've failed Scotland and the UK to line their own pockets and put the party first. Labour have to realise they cannot ever come back from this by being a centre right party and this excellent blog by the journalist Paul Mason should be the first thing any new Labour leader reads. Labour now have to find out what they actually are as they're not a party of the left, or the right, or the centre. Milliband could have headed up a united left but he failed. Fuck, he could have actually been of the left!
And then there's the Lib Dems. They're not even going to get double figures in terms of MP's. They've failed on a massive scale and Nick Clegg only seems to have saved his arse thanks to Tory voters backing him. Liberal values are gone, lost because five years ago Nick Clegg, Vince Cable, Danny Alexander and the rest fancied those big ministerial cars, the salaries, the expenses and the power. They enabled the Tories all the way and failed to pull them back so their destruction means little to me, but I do think there's a need for a party of the centre.
That party could be the Greens but they too failed to get more than one MP. The same number as UKIP that couldn't even get Nigel Farage elected, and frankly fuck UKIP. I don't really want to think of the implications of today regarding UKIP.
But this morning we face five more years of the Tories, probably helped along with the bigots in the DUP, and thanks to the Fixed Terms Parliament Act, the only way of getting rid of them is a vote of no-confidence and I have no confidence that Labour will support one of those as right now the candidates for replacing Ed Milliband are equally uninspiring and reek of the same political class that so alienated voters from Milliband's Labour. The Tories now stand to make £12 billion in cuts, spend £20 billion of tax cuts for the rich, privatise the NHS, demonise immigrants, the poor, the disabled or anyone that isn't them.
On this morning the only hope is the SNP and their allies the Greens and Plaid Cymru. A larger anti-austerity voice poking and prodding the Tories (and there are some elected SNP MP's outside of Salmond who are quickly going to become hate figures from the right wing press and the Tories) at every single opportunity. The one thing 56 SNP MP's guarantee is that they'll have a voice (and as the third largest party they get the right to be third in every single Prime Minister's Questions) and it is going to be heard and it will change the UK as right now the Tories have no mandate to govern in Scotland, a point barely being mentioned right now because the implications of that are enormous.
But there is hope for the people of England and Wales. Plaid Cymru have seen their vote share rise, and local English parties like Yorkshire First have made their first baby steps at introducing a English regional form of the SNP's social democracy and civic nationalism to counteract UKIP's far right racism and the Tory/Labour Unionism. Leftish voters voting UKIP may be doing so because for all of UKIP's obvious bigotry they provide an anti establishment voice, something Labour don't do and don't understand that a number of people have had their fill of the British establishment.
Labour can shed their skin too thanks to the electorate getting rid of some major figures. They can think about doing something new, not just aping Tory or UKIP ideas and that will mean a lot of pain but frankly even had Labour been put into power today, they'd still have to adapt but this gives them the jolt they needed because frankly, this is probably their worst defeat in a UK election in my lifetime. Perhaps if they'd supported electoral reform during the 13 years they had in government things could be different, but every single mistake Labour has made over the last 30 years has come back to punish them today. So those that still believe in the Labour idea need to stop throwing around blame, dry their eyes and sort it out because the people of England need them to.
See, five more years of the Tories mean lives being ruined and destroyed. It means the end of the welfare state.

The history of the Georgia ReLeaf program:
In April, 2011, tornadoes struck many southern U.S. states, taking lives and destroying homes, businesses, and city infrastructure – including thriving community trees. To help restore the many environmental, economic, and social health benefits that trees provided in these storm-struck Georgia communities, the Georgia Urban Forest Council (GUFC), in cooperation with the Georgia Forestry Commission (GFC), established the Georgia ReLeaf program to bring urban forests back to life by planting trees in public areas such as parks, schools, main streets, and business districts.
In addition to tree planting for canopy restoration, the Georgia ReLeaf program also makes funding available for tree planting projects benefitting or involving our military veterans who have served our country. Examples of projects in this category can include tree planting at facilities such as veterans hospitals, memorial parks, and rehabilitation centers or other tree planting projects that involve veterans in the project implementat

Sudden Change
Changes can affect peoples' lives. Changes in the environment. Changes in our country. There are lot of changes everywhere, especially in education. Having a new president means starting a new beginning in different areas and fields.
Many people were shocked about the sudden changes of the DepEd board. Many expectations scattered about the new DepEd secretary. Br. Armin Altamirano Luistro.
Br. Armin Altamirano Luistro first set eyes on the world last December 24, 1961 in Lipa, Batangas. He graduated at De La Salle University and was seated as the DepEd secretary last June 30, 2010.
There were many issues being thrown to him in his 1st year of service. Br.Luistro is the main proponent of the K+12 issue who aims to add two years in to the current 10 year basic education curriculum. Many educational parties opposed in this plan, especially the students, teachers and parents.
He is also the head of the sex-education, in which, accortding to Br. Luistro, should be included in teaching from grade 5 to 4th year high school. Numerous students protested about this. Different schools held rallies about this issue. But br. Armin stood tall and believed that they will soon understand the reason for launching such a project.
But after all the issues being thrown to him Br. Luistro stayed humble and he kept his feet on the ground. Wishing that the students, parents and teachers can accept all, he's willing to support different educational programs that can help in the development of our country. Wanted to erase all the skepticism, he promised that he will do his very best to give the Filipinos the best education.
Hopefully, that promise is not only a simple promise but a highly noted priority on his list. To build a well-develop country that can help everyone. Making a big change that can help our fellowmen in setting their minds in different ways to help our country. Br. Armin Luistro can help in making this big change. Having him can make a sudden change.

Crime in disguise-honour killingJune 29, 2012 16:09
When we talk about development of the country, GDPs and NDPs-which sound Greek and Latin to aad aadmi-always gain the momentum. And no economist probably cares to look development as an overall development of the state including low crime rate and no social evils. While policing is there to put a check to crime in the streets, who will take care of the crime in disguise-honour killing-that takes place at home? A rhetoric question! As long as social evils are linked to traditions and cultures, barbarious incidents of parents killing daughters keep hitting headlines!
Yet another case of honour killing came to light in Delhi. A 24-year-old married woman was allegedly murdered by her own mother and brother after the victim showed reluctance to stay with her husband. She reportedly pressed her mother that she be allowed to return to her boyfriend. The irked mother, with the help of her son, gave an end card to her love story by killing the victim and dumping the body in far off place in New Delhi.
The incident came to light after victim, Deepti Chikara's, boyfriend emailed the Delhi police on the suspected murder of his girlfriend. The police interrogated the duo (mother and son) and they admitted to the crime. The police said that Deepti went missing from home in April, according to the locals. Deepti was forcefully married to someone else since the person whom she loved hailed from a different caste.
There have been n number of social evils in India including the modern day's so called traditions-dowry and caste. Thanks to people such as Rajarammohan Roy and Kandukuri Veeresalingam who successfully abolished sati and bride price. But, who is going to uproot dowry and casteism? If you have a pinch of angry against these two social evils-raise your voice even if people around you laughs at you...a sea of them would follow you, soon!
Kill casteism and honour killing automatically vanishes!

How to Avoid Cakey Foundation
Hello, girls! I hope you are all doing well and enjoying this wedding season with your family and friends. The wedding season is here, and I am very sure that everyone has a tight schedule. I, myself had faced the same situation yesterday when my parents told me to get ready for a wedding party of our family relative. That was a last-minute invitation, so I wasn't really prepared for it. I tried to book an appointment in a parlor but they couldn't accommodate me, so I had no choice but to do my own makeup.
When we reached the party, I noticed an attractive girl with a beautiful outfit and flawless makeup. She looks really gorgeous, but I somehow felt disappointed when I got close to her and noticed that her foundation was cakey. That's when I got an idea to write about this topic to help others avoid the same mistake.
Foundation is one of the trickiest cosmetic products to use. While it can give you flawless and younger skin, incorrect application of this product may also make you look old and tired. Wrong shade and application can ruin your entire look, so make sure you follow the steps below to avoid cakey foundation.
Skin Care Routine Which Gives You A Flawless Skin
It is important to follow a skincare routine according to your skin type. Remember that having a flawless look start even before you put on your first cosmetic product. Start right by following a beauty regimen that is suitable for your skin type to achieve a flawless face. If your face is soft and smooth, applying a foundation can be a lot easier. Also, try to exfoliate your face before putting anything because that helps in removing dead skin cells.

Using The Wrong Foundation For Your Skin Type
A foundation is a must for a flawless-looking skin, but it is hard to keep it right. Choosing a wrong foundation for your skin type is so much responsible for creating a cakey look. If you apply a creamy foundation on oily skin, it delivers clogged pores or acne and later on your face will look shiny and the foundation will start to get cakey. On the other hand, if you apply matte formulations on dry skin, it can result in dry patches on the skin, and you'll notice that your skin looks very dry afterward.
Aside from choosing the type of foundation you should use, you must also keep in mind that it's also important to consider the right shade. Figuring out which shade of foundation to choose is a lot easier if you know your skin tone. Whether you have a cool or warm skin tone, there are a lot of options for you, so you can easily get a foundation based on your complexion's needs.

Using The Wrong Technique To Apply Foundation
If you don't apply your foundation properly, then you'll definitely have a cakey look later on. Don't worry about not knowing how others put on their foundation because there are different ways to apply it. The three most common techniques to apply it are with your fingers, foundation brush, or makeup sponge.
Just always make sure whatever method you choose, it is important to keep your tools clean. Applying foundation with makeup sponge in a dabbing style is always better than a rubbing style. This is to prevent acne or oils from spreading, make sure to clean your brushes every one or two weeks.

Set With Powder
It is very important to set your foundation with a powder because liquid and cream foundations both have a wet finish. So, brushing a bit of powder over them will help them to set in place for the entire day. It will only take a small amount of powder to do this. Be careful not to use too much powder otherwise it can settle into fine lines on your face and make your face cakey. Always try to apply powder in dabbing style with a puff, not in a rubbing style.

- This long-lasting powder leaves a natural, pore less-looking finish with long-lasting shine control
- Perlite mineral technology absorbs oil to mattify skin
- Pores virtually disappear thanks to blurring micro-powders.
Remove Excess Oil from Your Skin
Use a blotting paper to pick up excess oil from your skin. But do not press down the blotting paper into your face because that means pushing the trapped excess oil into your pores and blocking other oils from oozing out and making your face even oilier in just a few hours. That can even start creating an acne breakout. So, instead of wiping off excess oil by swiping the blotting paper lightly and just gently dab it on your face.

Wiping out the capitalist paradigm to question the potential evolution of our cities and the architect's future role in a world without money inevitably leads to an inconclusive publication
At a recent lecture on the history of capitalism I was amused, if not slightly saddened, to learn that London retains almost no trace of the British East India Company, whose whispered legend shaped my childhood in Calcutta. The corporate headquarters, East India House (1648) − a grand, colonnaded and porticoed building − was demolished as the Company went into decline (although more than a dozen years before it was dissolved completely). Its site on Lime Street was eventually occupied by Rogers' mighty Lloyd's building. This year that company further crystallised their assets in vertiginous steel and glass with a new Leadenhall building. Thus and thus do financial institutions shape our cities − securitising risks with 100-storey assets; carrying forth the feverish enterprises of East India Company-men into the age of a new Empire obsessed with growth.
The third cycle of Think Space − a 'platform for spatial experimentation and exchange' initiated by the Zagreb Society of Architects − takes money as its theme. The Think Space platform consists of three parts: a competition cycle, a call for papers, and an intriguing 'unconference' (seemingly differentiated from a 'conference' only by its non-institutional and energetic attitude). The accompanying book brings together extracts from the first two activities, collecting the best design entries as well as the most thoughtful papers. The selection of money as a lens to consider architecture is both timely and timeless: form has long followed finance; indeed, finance is arguably the primary driver behind architectural production both today and historically. Buildings are erected either for the consumption of goods in exchange for money, or devoted to the production of it, through increasingly dematerialised labour practices. And yet, though the dependency of architecture and construction on money for their realisation is well known, the exchanges between the two are seldom discussed.
The double act of Ethel Baraona-Pohl and César Reyes Nájera − joint curators for the Money cycle of Think Space − are aptly qualified to deal with this topic. Baraona in particular has led many discussions, in print and online, on the need to think beyond established capitalist paradigms: their publishing house DPR-Barcelona was one of the first booksellers to accept bitcoins. The pair also appointed an illustrious panel of judges for design competitions and for the appraisal of papers, including Pedro Gadanho, curator of Contemporary Architecture at MoMA in New York; David Garcia, director of MAP Architects and founder of The Institute of Architecture and the Extreme Environment; Brendan Cormier, curator, researcher and managing editor of Volume magazine, and Keller Easterling, an academic at Yale University and author of the forthcoming Extrastatecraft.
The selection of money as a lens to consider architecture is both timely and timeless: form has long followed finance
However, the publication that emerges from Think Space/Money would have benefited from a stronger hand at the tiller, as the material takes multi-directional swipes in a manner either too superficial to be given much credibility (particularly in the case of competition entries), or too sluggish, in papers provided without context or proper academic citations. A little more on how submissions were evaluated, or perhaps a closing statement as well as the brief from each of the adjudicators, might have helped to tie these themes together. For instance, it is confusing to find one whole category dealing with extreme geoclimatic frameworks. Meanwhile, 'exchange', as a theme, prompts responses which reconsider compensation for labour and ensuing civic implications. Projects proposing ad-hoc cultural centres suggest structures that represent the coalescing of spontaneous labour and energy into monumental form; alternative currencies are evaluated while their spatial realities and implications for identity are considered. These ideas tend to be better as specific examples rather than conceptual designs, such as the thorough proposal for public spaces in Athens in the paper 'Bitparcels', which described collective ownership and participation on a governance level (crucially leaving architecture to architects, but opening broader societal processes to all).
Perhaps it is Easterling's 'Subtractions' theme (see Alessandro Bava's review) − as 'a moment in a set of exchanges and advances, aggressions and attritions' which has the most direct implications on the agency of the architect as we currently recognise him or her. However, the winning entry, from Antonas Office, is hard to gauge; the scant paragraph presented with a small grainy thumbnail does little to elucidate its concerns. Elsewhere, the consideration of what architecture might be without the exchange mechanism provided by money, through other measures of 'value', is in turn woolly and exuberant: frequent keywords include collaboration, localisation, cooperation and most of all, the dissolution of the traditional architect. The breathlessness with which the traditional roles of the architect are not only blurred but joyfully dissolved recalls every other chapter of history where such a prospect seemed appealing; kill your parents. If Marx's concept of labour, production and capital are starting to look a little old, immaterial culture (and its understanding of the bank books) is perhaps still in its adolescence.
That's not to say one should argue with the courage and exhilarating, optimistic intent inherent in the ideas here. These are, after all, the reflections of professionals who are used to thinking about, and making do without, money; relying instead on the polyglot rhetoric of cultural theory and technological optimism. Take the idea of the multitude-architect − the builder of networks and communities rather than arches and walls, which draws heavily on Judith Butler and Italian Marxist Franco 'Bifo' Berardi's work. But what if, as the author of this paper suggests, the architect transmogrifies into a 'spatial minstrel'? Well, then others will have more to do; even if we divest ourselves of the responsibility for the physical environment, those impulses which continue to believe in 'fixed' capital will keep shaping the world around us, regardless.
The ideas presented in this collection are necessarily inconclusive; they discuss formats and possibilities for a life which doesn't yet exist, outside the capitalist paradigm, and in which the vast majority of architectural activity in fact has little interest … Yet just as real is the groundswell of activity − including architectural activity − which is starting to consider alternative civic, social and physical agendas. If implications for architectural design seem abstract at this point, it is certain that emerging as well as established structures are subject to change and that the professional contingency and compliance with such precarity of money is under intense scrutiny. The Think Space/Money publication is, of course, not a definitive exploration of such matters − but as a record of concerted conversations, its contents will be an interesting barometer in the future.

Elaphe: driving the development of electric vehicles
"Elaphe has used the PCT extensively and for several reasons. The process is simple and provides a search report, which can supplement our own research on the state of the art. In a dynamic environment where new innovation is born every day, the timeframe of the PCT process gives us a certain freedom to delay strategic decisions until such time as the market and product information is clearer and the economic benefit of pursuing a patent is easier to evaluate," Mr. Gotovac explains.

ARIPO's drive to strengthen Africa's innovation ecosystem
"While significant progress has been made, there is still a great deal to be done. Africa's pool of IP professionals remains small and falls well short of what the continent needs if it is to harness Africa's potential for innovation. In 2016, according to WIPO, IP offices located in Africa received a fraction – just 0.5 percent – of the 3.1 million patent applications filed around the world", states the article. "The general lack of IP awareness in Africa explains the low percentage of international applications filed under WIPO's Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and the low uptake of IP support services offered by national IP offices and ARIPO," explains Mr. Fernando dos Santos, Director General, ARIPO.

The Patent Cooperation Treaty at 40
"At its core, the PCT addresses two very real needs and this is the key to its remarkable success. On the one hand, it offers applicants a practical tool to assist them in seeking patent protection in international markets. And on the other hand, for the patent offices of PCT member countries, it serves as an effective work-sharing platform and creates opportunities to generate efficiency gains in processing international patent applications. The partnership of national and regional patent offices of PCT member countries has also been central to the PCT's success. Their engagement, insights and experiences, along with feedback from users, has enabled the system to evolve and respond to practical real-world needs. That, coupled with a dedicated international team of support staff, both at WIPO's headquarters and within the patent offices of member countries, has made it possible for the PCT to become recognized as a reliable and high-quality service provider." "The PCT has come a long way in the past four decades and has recorded many notable achievements. But there is still much to achieve to ensure it continues to support "innovation, investment and development," as foreseen by its founders. That is why, together with its partners, the PCT is continuing to push ahead to improve its services, for the benefit of all stakeholders," notes the article.
