Parsons Alumna Nina Chanel Abney Featured in 30 Americans Exhibit
The work of Parsons MFA Fine Arts alumna Nina Chanel Abney '07 is currently featured in "30 Americans," an exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., which showcases some of the most important African American artists of the last three decades. Abney is the youngest artist to be featured in the exhibition, which also includes work by seminal figures such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and David Hammons, prominent contemporary artists such as Glenn Ligon, Lorna Simpson and Kara Walker, as well as emerging artists such as Kehinde Wiley and Shinique Smith.
Celebrity scandals inspire some of Abney's vibrant, often brazen paintings, which the Corcoran Gallery organizers compare at once to Francis Bacon, David Hockney, and contemporary street murals. I'm fascinated by how celebrity news has become not more interesting, but more important than politics. I like to infuse that with race issues,, Abney said in reference to her solo debut show, Dirty Wash. Since receiving her MFA at Parsons, Abney has held three solo shows in galleries in New York and London, as well as participated in group shows at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and Art Basel Miami.
In timing with the opening of the exhibition, Abney gave a lecture to students at the Corcoran College of Art + Design. To watch the video, click here. The exhibition is on view through February 12. For more information, visit the Corcoran website.

Indonesia: agencies calm public about tsunami threat
The public need not worry about a tsunami threat along Java's southern coast if they take mitigation measures to minimize the impact of disasters, Indonesian agencies have said following rising concerns about the phenomenon.

The National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) spokesperson Agus Wibowo urged the public to remain cautious, adding that several mitigation measures could be taken in the case of a potential tsunami-triggering earthquake, such as the 20-20-20 principle.
If the tremors of an earthquake last 20 seconds evacuate as soon as possible because a tsunami may come in 20 minutes; take shelter at a building that it is at least 20 meters in height, The Jakarta Post quoted Agus as saying.
Another important mitigation effort is constructing anti-earthquake buildings, he added.
He also suggested downloading the InaRisk application, which is accessible on the BNPB's website, for further information and warnings on potential natural disasters.
The Indonesian Government has established the Expedition Destana program, in which teams are sent to villages located along Java's southern coast to teach residents about disaster mitigation.
Daryono, head of earthquake information and early tsunami warning under the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), said the southern coast of Java was more prone to these natural disasters due to the subduction zone between the Eurasian and Indo-Australian plates.
He said there were several mitigation steps people could take, such as marking beach space that is safe from tsunamis and developing the public's capacity in facing disasters.
Widjo Kongko, tsunami expert from the Assessment and Application of Technology Agency (BPPT), said on July 17 that Java's southern coast, particularly Yogyakarta, could experience an 8.8-magnitude earthquake and a tsunami of up to 20 meters in height, the newspaper reported.
A subduction zone runs along the southern coast of Java to the east of Sumba Island and south of the Sunda strait, he added./.

We woke up without any sunshine for the first time in weeks'.
Sylar left his favourite toy behind so Sue went to the village post office to send it to him. We left our mooring at Shepperton after the rain had stopped around 1400hrs, we had to put jumpers on to keep warm. We had a call from my brother Alan as we passed through Penton Hook Lock and arranged to meet him at The Swan in Staines.
I had a glass of Seafarers Ale with Alan in the pub's patio area while Sue went into Staines for a few items. We got going through Staines bridge and then thought where should we moor for the night, the sun was shining by now and it was turning into a lovely evening so we decided to turn and moor in our favourite moorings just before Penton Hook Lock. The moorings are to grass and the owners of the houses on the towpath keep them neatly clipped, if you're not in the know you'd think they were private moorings.
I set the satelite dish up for the first time in ages and promptly turned the TV off as I couldn't find anything of interest. Now while I type this Sue has caught eight roach and a bleak.
Oops how did that get on the boat.

If you read the entry for Day 3 of "The Long Con" you see that a few Jacks showed up to eat during the daily feeding. This got me very excited because Bowfishing a large Jack is pretty much the reason I even started The Long Con experiment...
At first pass 3 very large Jacks shot by the feeding area incredibly fast. I had no chance to even draw the bow, let alone get a reasonable shot off.
Although I was very excited and waited patiently for their next pass.
After about 5 minutes one Jack came back on his how. He wasn't moving slow but not particularly fast either.
I drew my bow and took a shot.. BANG... Nailed it in the tail. The arrow went clean through and the had a very large Jack on the line!
Immediately the line started pulling out of the AMS Reel. Even though I had the trigger down, the Jack was far stronger than the tension in the line. I grabbed the line by hand and tried to pull it in, but even that was hard. I quickly wrapped the line around my hand as I tried to pull it in.
After a foot or two pulling it in, I have some slight rope burn on my hand and the Jack managed to rip off the line.
Below is a picture of what was on my line after the Jack worked his way off... Jack (pun intended) sh!t...
This was a very exciting and disappointing few minutes. This is now the second larger (I was able to get a smaller) Jack in 2 weeks that I shot and wasn't able to get on land. At this point I am not even sure if I could even shoot and get a larger Jack on shore without it working it's way off the arrow.
I will look into different arrows and see what I can find.
I show this Jack with my Cajun Sucker Punch Bow that I modified with an AMS Retriever Pro Reel. I use the standard Muzzy arrow.

Today I created a new Medical information sheet so that I had all our family's medical information together and organized in case of an emergency.
So, where do you keep your medical information or do you even keep it at all? I keep a list of medications my daughters have been on (you never know) from the pharmacy as well as my last blood test results (to compare my levels with next time). Maybe I'm a freak, well I most certainly am, but I think that stuff is important to keep.
Where do you keep Important Numbers like your doctor, mechanic and kids school? Where do you keep your Resturant and Take Out Numbers for those nights you just don't want to cook? How about your sister-in-laws cell phone number? Do you have a Family Yellow Pages?
If you were given concert tickets tomorrow, where would you keep them? Your kids daycare or school schedule? Do you have a calendar with dates of anniversaries and birthdays of all your loved ones?
I used to struggle with all these little things. I struggled with finding a place for all the paperwork I needed to get to easily without it in piles on my kitchen counter. Enter my Household Management Binder. It's a one stop place for all those little important things we should keep, but often misplace.
So, what are you waiting for? Make your binder today!

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
If you don't ask, you don't get.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.
The Gunnar Challenge offers new workouts every day, a meal plan and daily 'verbal vitamins,' which are a motivational video or workout tip. The thing that really makes the program work is the forum, where Challengers can communicate with each other and with me.
I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything… at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.
Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.
It's always too early to quit.
Do whatever you do intensely.
There is always room at the top.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I'm thrilled to continue my partnership with U by Kotex for Generation Know while helping to empower girls. I've always been a motivational resource for my younger sisters and hope I can positively impact and inspire other young girls too.
Never, never, never give up.
One day, I got so disgusted that I sat down and wrote a list called 'Justin's list of things to do before he kicks the bucket.' I wrote it for myself and shortened it to 'Justin's Bucket List.' It was there on the wall, not as a story idea but as a motivational tool for myself, which actually ended up working pretty well.
Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.
Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential… these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.
Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
One finds limits by pushing them.
You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
Every exit is an entry somewhere else.
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
They can conquer who believe they can.
No matter how many goals you have achieved, you must set your sights on a higher one.
One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.
I don't know what it's like to have a typical father figure. He's not the dad who's going to take me to the beach and go swimming, but he's such a motivational person.
He conquers who endures.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
As long as I'm not selling out the people that ride or die with me, I'm glad I'm not an MC. I'm a motivational speaker. I'm not that rapper dude.
Our subliminal mental processes operate outside awareness because they arise in these portions of our mind that are inaccessible to our conscious self; their inaccessibility is due to the architecture of the brain rather than because they have been subject to Freudian motivational forces like repression.
To begin, begin.
Deserve your dream.
Only the educated are free.
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.
The weeds keep multiplying in our garden, which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name.
Set yourself earnestly to see what you are made to do, and then set yourself earnestly to do it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.
Music – it's motivational and just makes you relax.
I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability, or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life.
Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.
If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: 'If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?' But… the good Samaritan reversed the question: 'If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?'
Poverty was the greatest motivating factor in my life.
What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.
You can't expect to hit the jackpot if you don't put a few nickels in the machine.
Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
A goal is a dream with a deadline.
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
Never give in and never give up.
The people who influence you are the people who believe in you.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
Hitch your wagon to a star.
It always seems impossible until it's done.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
I was motivated to be different in part because I was different.
Success is the only motivational factor that a boy with character needs.
Marvin's Motivational Moments actually started as something that was actually therapeutic for me. I would sit up late at night after my wife passed trying to adjust to being alone.
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.
A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.
The more things you do, the more you can do.
You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Go big or go home. Because it's true. What do you have to lose?
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
Pursue one great decisive aim with force and determination.
I think people who are creative are the luckiest people on earth. I know that there are no shortcuts, but you must keep your faith in something Greater than You, and keep doing what you love. Do what you love, and you will find the way to get it out to the world.
We need to accept that the commandments of God aren't just a long list of good ideas. They aren't 'life hacks' from an Internet blog or motivational quotes from a Pinterest board.
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
Throughout my career, the pounding in my heart, the fright, has been ever-present, but I never turned back. Fear can be a highly motivational part of the journey.
I am not afraid… I was born to do this.
Know or listen to those who know.
One of the things that I did before I ran for president is I was a professional speaker. Not a motivational speaker – an inspirational speaker. Motivation comes from within. You have to be inspired. That's what I do. I inspire people, I inspire the public, I inspire my staff. I inspired the organizations I took over to want to succeed.
The turning point was when I hit my 30th birthday. I thought, if really want to write, it's time to start. I picked up the book How to Write a Novel in 90 Days. The author said to just write three pages a day, and I figured, I can do this. I never got past Page 3 of that book.
I attribute my success to this – I never gave or took any excuse.
Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
You will never win if you never begin.
I've always thought of acting as more of an exercise in empathy, which is not to be confused with sympathy. You're trying to get inside a certain emotional reality or motivational reality and try to figure out what that's about so you can represent it.
A will finds a way.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
When one must, one can.
Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness.
Well done is better than well said.
There's a way to do it better – find it.
I am not a has-been. I am a will be.
Give Obama a script he has made his own, and he is the motivational speaker to end all speakers. Tony Robbins cloned with Honest Abe.
Never retreat. Never explain. Get it done and let them howl.
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.
There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life.
I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.
Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.
I realized I love motivating and I love empowering and I love inspiring people. I did that as an athlete for 18 years, and I am able to do that as a motivational speaker now as well as doing work on television.
Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example – and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.
I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.
How do you know you're going to do something, untill you do it?
There is progress whether ye are going forward or backward! The thing is to move!
People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music.
I can, therefore I am.
A somebody was once a nobody who wanted to and did.
I've always tried to go a step past wherever people expected me to end up.
God always strives together with those who strive.
Earl Nightingale has inspired more people toward success and fortune than any other motivational speaker on the planet.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
After a storm comes a calm.
When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Wherever you are – be all there.
If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.
Giving back, doing motivational speeches and stuff like that, that's always made me feel good. If you repeatedly go out there, and you are the change that you want to see, then that's what you are.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.
I know not age, nor weariness nor defeat.
Your heaviest artillery will be your will to live. Keep that big gun going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
It is very important to know who you are. To make decisions. To show who you are.
You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.
Typically, if you reward something, you get more of it. You punish something, you get less of it. And our businesses have been built for the last 150 years very much on that kind of motivational scheme.
Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen… yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.
Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.
If you think you can do it, you can.
When you fail you learn from the mistakes you made and it motivates you to work even harder.
Many are called but few get up.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.
I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.
I've a great family, two children to take care of. Then, of course, I do commentary for TV. I do speak about various women's issues around the world – like LGBT, motivational speeches. I have a lot on my plate right now. But eventually, yes, I would like to pass on the knowledge and something that I would like to do.
I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed – there's so little competition.
You create your opportunities by asking for them.
I'm going to write a book, continue acting, continue motivational speaking and just share with people who I am and what I've learned in my second chance of life and pass it on to people in their first chance of life.
In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
My dad is too cute. Every morning, he sends me one motivational quote. I have a folder full of all his quotes.
Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The more we do, the more we can do.
Don't fight the problem, decide it.
The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.
Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.
Press forward. Do not stop, do not linger in your journey, but strive for the mark set before you.
Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
Step by step and the thing is done.
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.
You can never quit. Winners never quit, and quitters never win.
Always desire to learn something useful.
We aim above the mark to hit the mark.
I come to win.
Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.
Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.
Never complain and never explain.
The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.
You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.
No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.
Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it.
If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.
Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
Who seeks shall find.
Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
From my tribe I take nothing, I am the maker of my own fortune.
Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I like to put on hardcore when I have to clean my apartment, which I hate to do, but it's motivational. I like old heavy metal when I'm outside working on my car. Music has definite functions for me.
Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.
The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.
The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare.
Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out.
Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand.
My first book was called, 'Mountain, Get Out of My Way,' where I did an autobiographical sketch, if you will, looking back at myself and looking back at things in my life, and juxtaposing them against things that are happening in other people's lives and trying to be motivational.
Either I will find a way, or I will make one.
There is nothing deep down inside us except what we have put there ourselves.
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.
I believe that any type of education can be great, but an education about ourselves can create something wonderful. I am a comedian, but people have called me a motivational speaker. I don't really consider myself that at all.
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
I started doing motivational tours. I've seen all kinds of people, from the CEOs to the lowest executive, opening up to their fears. We don't introspect as much as we should.
When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
Motivation will almost always beat mere talent.
Crave for a thing, you will get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself.
The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.
Fear of failure, it's the greatest motivational tool. It drives me and drives me and drives me.
There is no stronger case for the motivational power of real science than the discoveries that come from the Hubble Space Telescope as it unravels the mysteries of the universe.
We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.
Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.
You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
Either move or be moved.
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
True happiness involves the full use of one's power and talents.
Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.
You have to make it happen.
One may miss the mark by aiming too high as too low.
Religious speech is extreme, emotional, and motivational. It is anti-literal, relying on metaphor, allusion, and other rhetorical devices, and it assumes knowledge within a community of believers.
Don't think, just do.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

TTT: Most Anticipated Book Releases for the First Half of 2020

On Air Now
The Capital Weekender With Ministry of Sound 10pm - 5am
21 March 2018, 13:15 | Updated: 21 March 2018, 16:26
Your make-up game just levelled up.
Everyone loves a make-up bag update, and 2018 is definitely the year to chuck out those crusty products that have been languishing in your drawer way too long (seriously, if you've not used that eye palette in the past three months, you're never going to - plus old products harbour all kinds of nasties so it's always good to do a purge every now and again) and invest in some swanky new cosmetics instead (without breaking the bank).
These Gross Photos Will Make You Throw Out Your Old Make-Up Instantly
From the most amazing new cover-all foundation for a fiver to unicorn-themed goodies... You'll wonder how you ever lived without 2018's amazing new beauty launches.
Your glow just got SO much better - MAC are bringing out the queen of all highlighting palettes , Hyper Real Glow, which features three shades of creamy highlighting powder to make sure you're shining in the best way possible after the longest winter on earth. Roll on 12th April (though you'll be bale to get your hands on it in Selfridges even earlier, from 29th March).
If you love a bit of science with your prods, this amazing new volumising mascara from Benefit is practically weightless, thanks to aero-particles (aka one of the lightest known materials) which is derived from space technology. Amazing jet black coverage backed by actual science? Yes please.
If you're a fan of Urban Decay's iconic eyeshadow palettes, you're going to love this two-in-one wonder palette. Combining super on-trend berry and rose eyeshadow colours with a selection of blushers and highlighters, with a removable double-sided mirror as a divider, this will also halve the amount of palettes you need to carry with you. Winner.
Monochromatic makeup is having a moment, and Backtalk is here for it. From pale pink-nude matte to metallic brown-red, Backtalk features eight eyeshadows and four coordinating shades of blush and highlighter all inspired by our No.1 selling Vice lipstick. Now that's something to talk about Coming 3/8 to @Sephora! #Backtalk #UrbanDecay #FirstAtSephora
It's rare to find a foundation that provides this much cover for redness in just one swipe without a colour corrector underneath, but ever since this amazing cover up video went viral, this purse-friendly make up stick has been (understandably) selling out. It's hard to believe this hero product costs just a fiver to give results this good, and it comes in 17 shades so whether you're light or dark-skinned, there's one in there for you.
So I'm very fussy & scared when I pick a foundation. I love going bare faced but when I like to glam up I really do! I don't want a foundation that makes my acne look worse than what it is. I don't want a foundation that can see my green corrector beneath. I want a foundation that can lock in my discolouration & prone acne! I never in a million years would think my go to foundation would be a drugstore product! I always thought the more expensive the product the better the outcome! __________________________________ @makeuprevolution foundation is GOD SENT. This foundation is ONLY £5! It has the same coverage or even better than some high end products! You only need one light layer of it & your good to go! __________________________________ If your on a budget at school or college or whatever it is! This product is deffo for EVERYONE! Not just the people on pr lists or the rich kids! EVERYONE ________________________________________ #wakeupandmakeup #mua #makeuptutorial #makeup #makeuprevolution #glamvids #hudabeauty #fentybeauty #fakeupfix #fakeuproom #brian_champagne @brian_champagne @fakeupfix @fakeuproom @wakeupandmakeup @wakeup2slay @adam_minto70 @makeupartists_worldwide @fakeupfix @eyegalore
The latest launch from Kim Kardashian-West is set to drop at the end of the month and combines a cream, powder and liquid concealer so you've got a formula for any kind of blemish.
If you're a fan of a five-minute mani but hate the way it leaves your nails when you take your falsies off, Elegant Touch have just changed the game. The brand have launched the 'Nail Saviour', which is a base coat that is designed to protect your natural nail from the glue with a protective barrier coat enriched with Calcium and Vitamin B to strengthen your nails, and we're 100% here for that.
Did You Gals Know...? 94% of you felt that the Nail Saviour™ helped to protect your natural nails from damage following removal. Yep that's right... You can save time and £££ by skipping the salon and get the same quality results at home! What are you waiting?! Click the link in our bio & grab yours now! #ETNails #ETNailSaviour #nails #notd
Mac's iconic Lipglass lip gloss has been given a makeover with all new food themed colours... which even smell (and apparently taste) just like the real thing. We'll take 10 of the Funfetti Cake and Death By Chocolate.
#SeenBackstage #MakeupSwatches for the #Lipglass from a #NEW #MAC collection These #Small (I know coz I've smelt) and apparently #Taste (IDK coz I've not tasted) like their names #Swatches LtoR: #DeathByChocolate ,#BananaMuffins ,#CoconutMacaroon ,#FunfettiCake , #RaspberryCream , #StrewberrtTorte No launch date yet.

"The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her last berth to be broken up" by J.M.W. Turner
Since they just made a movie about this famous early 19th century British painter, I thought I should see what he brings to my table. I think a good place to start is here – his most famous painting. Oh,oh, I am instantly bored by the subject and the title. I fell asleep reading the title and the painting failed to wake me up. Seascape – yawn. Sunset – yawn. Naval history – big yawn. This could be a long week.

All out of ideas for what to make for dinner tonight? Allow me. One of my go-to vegan dinner recipes is this quick and easy tomato spelt risotto. By quick, I mean it'll take you 30 minutes to make…and 3 minutes to eat. Continue reading "Spicy tomato spelt risotto"
How to deal with negative self-talk
This week I wanted to don my Oprah hat and write about something I think we all experience: negative thoughts and self-doubt. I'm told that self-doubt is as much a part of a writer's DNA as coffee dependency, narcissism and nosiness. To be honest, that doesn't really give me much comfort when I'm hunched over my laptop, paralysed with fear and self-loathing, as though the assignment I'm working on is the first thing I've ever written and wondering why the editor gave it to me of all people. So how do you stop that niggling negativity from completely taking over? Continue reading "How to deal with negative self-talk"

Summer reads 2018
One of my favourite blog posts I've written so far has been this one from last year, Summer Reads 2017. In a case of déjà vu, I wanted to recommend some more books to read for 2018 if you're heading off on holidays or if you've been a bit lax on the reading front and want to become a summer bookworm.
Summer is the perfect time to catch up on all the books you meant to read earlier this year but never got around to. I for one will definitely be tucking into the stack of books on my bedside locker (ok, and floor) that just keeps growing. Continue reading "Summer reads 2018"
3 ingredient peanut butter banana ice cream
Summer is definitely in the air and I for one am looking forward to the days of La Roche Posay Factor 50, getting my vitamin D fix and not having to wear 6 layers of clothes to cover all four seasons in one day. The other reason why I'm looking forward to summer (even though I live in Ireland and we have approximately 1 and a half days of sunshine each year) is it gives me the perfect excuse to live on my new favourite vegan snack, peanut butter ice cream.

Money saving tips for vegetarians & vegans
One of the most common gripes I hear is that eating more healthily is expensive. If I received a bean for every time someone suggested to me that you need to be flush to go vegetarian or vegan, well, I'm sure I could make a very nice dip with it.
The truth is, convenience foods ARE cheaper than healthier items, but there's plenty of ways you can adopt a plant-based diet without needing to take out a bank loan. Being smarter about key ingredients, prepping your meals in advance, and getting creative in the kitchen are just a few ways you can eat healthily on a budget. Continue reading "Money saving tips for vegetarians & vegans"
Mediterranean tofu scramble recipe
Of all the meals we eat in a day, I've always found vegan/vegetarian breakfasts the hardest. Maybe it's because I'm not a big breakfast fan (but trying to become one) or maybe it's because everything seems to involve eggs or dairy, especially when you go to a café or you're staying in a hotel. Everything changed when I discovered tofu scramble, Mediterranean-style. Continue reading "Mediterranean tofu scramble recipe"

Long time no talk blog readers! So sorry for the delay, I have had some issues in my apartment that have been taking a lot of my attention and then softball this week (we won our game!) But I am here with a fresh post for you on a sort of memorable day.
Many of you know me, many of you don't, and even some of those who know me do not know all I have been through the past few years. A year ago today, around 3 or 4pm, I was being released from a two week stay at Clark County Jail in Las Vegas, NV. I know what you're thinking, and no, it wasn't because I couldn't afford a room at the Wynn haha. Last year was definitely one of the hardest years of my entire life (thus far) and before that I had some pretty rough times. But nothing compared to the year I spent living in Nevada. I won't blame Vegas, although it is definitely not the easiest place to try to start your life over, especially if you have been known for your poor decision making. I guess I was just so wrapped up in constantly failing at everything I attempted to do and I just felt like I had one last shot to make a drastic change to be who I thought everyone wanted me to be. I just ran myself into the ground and as I was placed in handcuffs and put in the back of that police car I honestly never thought I would be able to pick myself back up.
I never thought I would be a girl that could survive a night in jail, and there I was sitting in a holding cell, not knowing how long I would be staring at those grey walls. The worst part was that I had been up for about 5 or 6 days (I could never keep track back then) and in a matter of hours I would be coming down hard. For those of you who have done meth, the comedown is not that bad, you just want to sleep and eat. But in jail the food is no fine dining experience and to be honest when I was high I usually wanted to stay high and avoided sleep as much as possible. Turns out it ended up being a blessing since I was stuck in a holding cell for almost two days and what would have normally been annoying and uncomfortable I just slept through. By the time I woke up I was moved to a normal cell with no roommate, made up my bed, and slept for another two days. Once that wore off the guards decided they had been kind enough to me and they started yelling at me for sleeping too much. The next two weeks was filled with a daily routine consisting of:
- Breakfast – 3:30am
- Lunch – 10:30am
- Break – Random times either morning or evening, I never paid attention
- Dinner – 4:30pm
The hours between dinner and breakfast were the worst. I had slept for so many days straight that I found it hard to sleep after that, and I was always just SO hungry, nothing ever filled me up enough. Finally after my last hearing they decided to court order me to rehab and upon my release I went directly to the airport. A year ago today I stepped out into the fresh air and sunlight and left Las Vegas.
I am proud to say that since that day I have grown so much as a woman and as a human bring all together and freedom feels pretty damn good.

I've enjoyed getting to know Stacia and Kevin since this past fall. They are such a nice couple and their love for each other really shows in the photos. I love their pale gray suits, vivid blues, mason jars and cowboy boots. This wedding was filled with a range of emotions from big smiles to tears. Lookin' good guys!
I think Stacia is glowing! Seriously, she looks so happy.Kevin and Stacia opted to do a "first look" and take all their photos before the ceremony. I love when my couples do this because the first look is filled with so much emotion. Plus you get more photos this way and who doesn't love that? We were able to get all the photos done before the ceremony, which meant they were able to start the party right after the ceremony. Stacia's dad kept a very watchful eye as Kevin was retrieving the garder (below).
In the end, this country garden wedding had a fairytale ending when they jetted off in a Rolls Royce. Stacia & Kevin, I hope you're having a fantastic time in the Bahamas!
Vendors for this wedding:
Ceremony & Reception site: The Secret Garden
Dress shop: David's Bridal
Florist: Amy Hungerford – Blossoms N Bloom
Photography: Amanda Howard – Memories Through Time
Catering: Sharkos
Cake: Graceful Wedding Cakes
Get-a-way transportation: Aries Limousine

The Australia Council for the Arts has announced the first round of grant recipients for 2019, for project and career development. The $5.8 million cash pool will support 192 projects – 114 individuals, 30 groups and 48 organisations from a pool of 1347 applications. In addition to the projects that received funding, a further 203 projects totalling up to $6.9 million were assessed by peers as being of high merit and worthy of support. "We continue to receive a high volume of high-quality applications across all areas of arts practice," said Frank Panucci, the Australia Council's Executive Director of Grants and Engagement.

The latest round sees a continued trend of strong First Nations-led projects funded through all areas of arts practice while female-identified artists also continue to fare well receiving 59 percent of funding to individual artists in this round, the Australia Council said.
Major grants went to organisations – the Peggy Glanville Hicks Trust was awarded $100,000 to support the successful Prelude artist residency program in 2020, and Melbourne Electronic Sound Studios received $75,000 towards its 2019 Program that includes creative development, workshops, concerts, public access and residencies. While in the Concerts and Festivals category, Central Australian Singing received $95,075 towards the 2019 Desert Song Festival; Bendigo International Festival of Exploratory Music received $32,881 towards the 2019 festival; Robbie Avenaim with Jim Denley and Carolyn Connors received $20,000 for a second season of Safe in Sound 36 long-form concerts for and with children and young adults with severe disabilities in Sydney and Melbourne and producer Kiriaki Koubaroulis received $12,000 for a 2019 concert series at Bankstown Arts Centre focussed on Western Sydney musicians.
Among the activities funded, Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation ($29,804) will take five female First Nations designers from West Arnhem Land to present their work in Paris during Fashion Week, and UNSW Art & Design who run The Big Anxiety Festival ($63,580) will be tackling stigma surrounding mental health with a new interactive exhibition project. Grants recipients for international projects include the Orava Quartet ($10,141) for their Canada tour, and oud player Jo Tawardos ($20,200) who will spend a sustained period of time in Egypt working with local musicians.
New work projects include Monash Art Ensemble's ($13,788) release of an album featuring new works by Kate Neal, Andrew Ford, Sandy Evans, Paul Grabowsky, Cat Hope, Marc Hannaford, Robert Burke and Paul Williamson. New Zealand born Jazz bassist, Jonathan Zwartz ($18,180) will record an album with pianist Mike Nock, saxophonist Julien Wilson, and drummer Hamish Stuart. Pianist Aura Go ($15,000) will develop an immersive 60-minute work of music and movement for two pianos and moving audience called One Space One, while flautist Lina Andonovska received $10,905 towards her debut recording project. Bleach Festival ($86,687) will commission Sally Blackwood, Lawrence English and Vanessa Tomlinson to create a new sound art opera to premiere in 2020.
The full list of grant recipients is available on the Australian Council website

Macroeconomic Impact of Trade on Namibian Growth: An Empirical Illustration
Cyril A. Ogbokor
DOI : 10.3844/jssp.2005.57.60
Journal of Social Sciences
Volume 1, Issue 1
Pages 57-60
The study analyses the role of trade on the economy of Namibia by considering a different specification of the traditional export-growth model. Foreign direct investment is included to capture the potential effect of this variable on growth. Utilising a combination of bivariate and multivariate models, the researcher estimated the relationship between the selected macroeconomic variables used for the study. Macroeconomic data used runs from 1991 to 2001. The results of the study confirm that exports and inward foreign direct investment are critical sources of growth in the Namibian economy. The study concludes by recommending, inter alia, the pursuit of an aggressive and vibrant export industrialization policy for Namibia as well as direction for further research.

Six Tips to Encourage your Child to Brush their Teeth
Brushing the teeth is an important life skill that your child should learn. Helping your little one learn to love this task is not a small feat. However, with a bit of creativity, you can help them maintain a good dental and oral health. Here are some ideas to help your child develop a love for brushing:
Help them Understand Why
Once your child understands why they need to brush their teeth, they will be more inclined to do it. To make the activity more interesting, make up a story and give a name to the bacteria in their mouth.
Make Brushing a Fun Event
Avoid being too authoritative when asking your child to brush their teeth. Make it fun by preparing their mood for this. Think about cranking up their favorite song and dance with them. You can also watch together some brushing videos or use brushing applications. No matter what you do, use your creativity and switch things up to make brushing time a great time.
Involve Everyone
Kids brushing teeth together with their family members are more inspired to do it. It is important to set a good example. Remember that the family that brushes together smiles together.
Set a Routine they can Stick To
If possible, never allow your child to skip brushing. Even if you are in a family vacation, ensure they stick to their routine. This helps in making brushing a second nature to them. Over time, it will be easier for your child to brush their teeth two times every day for two minutes without being told and supervised.
Motivate Them
Motivation can come in many forms but when it comes to your little one, words may not be enough. As their parent, you should have an idea of what usually motivates them. Is it some coloring books or stickers? Create a reward chart and let them add one whenever they brush their teeth. For some kids, though, motivation is about getting a huge smile and hug from you.
Get them Involved
Whenever it is time to buy new brushes for everyone, bring your child so they can pick out their toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste. Also, consider using a timer to help them brush their teeth for two minutes. When they complete the activity on time, let them press the button. Always look for ways to get your child involved.

Corporate Consulting - Corporate Relations Specialist
My work is designed to educate leaders and employees to understand their own attachment codes and how this shows up in their work relations. I assist leaders and employees to become attuned with themselves so that they can understand their reactions in the context of their work environments. Once learning occurs these individuals become skilled at self-regulation. Protest behaviours are reduced and platforms are constructed intentionally for safe and collaborative relationships and partnerships. When people feel safe and connected their creativity is unlocked. Engagement is more likely to occur, and greater productivity is a natural and organic outcome.

Mount Shasta Climber's Log
jimegan - Feb 6, 2008 8:30 pm Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2003MT SHASTA
Shirley Lam - Jan 30, 2008 10:18 pm Date Climbed: Apr 11, 2004Better when...
the avalanche gulch is covered in snow!
utclimber - Jan 12, 2008 7:46 pmAvalanche Gulch
A very fun route. The glissade is particularly memorable.
Hiked a second time in winter, February 2008.
Bonesaw - Jan 11, 2008 9:12 am Date Climbed: Apr 10, 2004Casaval Ridge in Early Spring
Awesome climb! This was my first foray into the world of mountaineering and I'm hungry for more.
jdmorris - Jan 8, 2008 11:36 pm Date Climbed: Jun 15, 2007My Playground
2010 - 7/04 - Casaval
I finally make it up Casaval and experience the Catwalk. Despite the late season the world above 12.5k feet is solid rime ice. Glissaded Avy Gulch to descend.
2009 - 3/14 - Green / Sargent's
My first solo attempt of Shasta went poorly when my attempt was squashed by strong winds and extremely cold wind chill. At least I made it up to see Shatarama point from above. I'll be back.
2007 - 6/15 - Hotlum / Bolum
Mattyj and I headed up (actually down from WA, this time) to check out approaches to the north side of the mountain and ended up making a one day trip direct to the summit and back. Mattyj wrote all about it here. It was a flawless day on a fantastic route although the blue ice was a bit intimidating and the ice near the top of the route before attaining the summit saddle was a little rotten.
2007 - 4/05 - Casaval / West Face
Mattyj and I planned to start at Hidden Valley, but decided instead to head up further to First Window on Casaval and were met with thin looking snow conditions that led us back up the West Face, proper. Mattyj once again wrote all about it, here. Despite some low clouds on our approach day, the summit day was as good as it gets on any mountain, anywhere, and miraculously the mountain was beautifully devoid of other climbers!
2006 - 2/11 - Casaval:
My first time up on Casaval was a good time with Mattyj and Lessthanjoey and my buddy, Dan, but by the time we camped at 10,000 ft camp it seemed no one wanted to join me for a summit bid. I convinced Joe to get up relatively late and we headed up but had to deal with deep snow, cold wind and far too late of a schedule. Despite not summiting, it was still a beautiful couple days and Matt's picture from that trip is still one of my fav's.
2004 - 6/26 - Avy Gulch
Dan, lessthanjoey and myself all climbed Avy Gulch in a one day push. Unfortunately, I didn't sleep for the 30+ hours, prior. There was much adventure with my contacts turning opaque and getting stuck to my eyes and the resulting snowblindness of fiddling around in the bright noon sun for a couple hours, but we did make it to the summit and back to the car. As usual, it was a perfect, beautiful day.
2004 - 6/12 - West Face:
This was the inspiration for the second trip a couple weeks later. Dan and I carried way too much stuff up way too late in the day to Hidden Valley. It was a terrible slog without snowshoes and when I got sick just shy of Hidden Valley (not altitude, but some stomach trouble) we decided to turn back.
2003 - 7/20 - Avy Gulch:
This is where my whole mountaineering career started. My good friend Ken and I headed up to Lake Helen on a typical hot, sunny Shasta day and after an evening of camping we joined the hordes for a summit push. My HAFE (high altitude flatulence expulsion) started giving me trouble and I decided to wait at the summit plateau while Ken went to the summit. Many months of regretting tagging the summit on my first try pushed me to do lots of climbing and spend more time outdoors. Ahhh... the memories!
bighornmonkey - Dec 25, 2007 5:00 pm Date Climbed: Apr 11, 2004Done...
Avalanche gulch route. Summit day was very windy
trailhuggersarah - Nov 4, 2007 1:59 am Date Climbed: Jun 15, 2007The brown white Mtn
This was to be my first big snow climb.. only problem was a big lack of snow. It was mostly loose rock and just patches of hard old snow and ice.
Will definitely come back again next year in hopes of a 'snow climb'
panweilin - Oct 25, 2007 3:33 pm Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2005Shasta via AG route
Backpacked to Hidden Valley the day before. Raining at night and whiteout in the morning. We started 8am and soon the sky cleared up, went up to the summit, enjoyed sunset view at Hidden Valley before heading back to Bunny Flat TH.
lefty - Oct 25, 2007 12:23 am Date Climbed: Jun 11, 2006Avy Gulch
This was my second attempt. I had to turn back at the top of Misery Hill tow years earlier so it felt good to make it all the way this time.
gomez13 - Oct 20, 2007 11:01 am Date Climbed: Apr 15, 2002Avy Gulch/West Face
Had so much fun going up the gulch with friends mid week {no crowds} I stayed and soloed the West Face a day after.
tombcronin - Oct 18, 2007 12:26 pm Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2003Fun ride down!
Came down super slushy chute: fun!!
hikerbryan - Oct 2, 2007 11:07 pm Date Climbed: Jun 24, 2006Avalanche Gulch
Hit the AVG early and made the summit late morning. Snow from the Bunny Flat parking lot all the way to the summit. Way better than scree and rocks. Perfect weather made for a perfect day on the mountain. Views were incredible.
hikinedd - Sep 5, 2007 12:53 am Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2007Avalanche Gulch
Fourth time up (all Avalanche Gulch). May 2003: bailed near the Heart for fear of avalanche. June, 2004: turned around at the top of Misery Hill from 60 mph winds and bigger gusts. June, 2006: finally made it for the first time. June, 2007: made it all the way second year in a row, this time in an incredibly low snow year. Trails I hadn't known to exist were exposed, including the ambitious half-mile long Olberman Causeway leading up the hill from Horse Camp, and switchbacks all the way up Misery Hill, making that part of the hike considerably easier. This is the first year we've camped on dirt at Helen Lake and filtered water from either a spring or snowmelt running through camp.
A Bit - Aug 21, 2007 10:26 pm Date Climbed: Aug 17, 1993Avalanche Gulch
Headed up from the old ski bowl area with 3 friends on a beautiful morning. 3 of us made the summit 8 hours later with clear skies and light winds.
pkrebs - Aug 20, 2007 6:44 pm Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2006Avalanche Gulch
A fun climb with a group of friends. We camped at Lake Helen and hit the summit in the morning.
YEM - Aug 20, 2007 4:57 pm Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2006Avy Gulch
Car to car. Climbed the ridge to the right of Avy Gulch to the backside of the Red Banks and a glacial moat.Since I was solo, the mountain told me to stop, turn around and descend about 1000ft. I continue to the summit on the normal route. Calm at the Red Banks, but the wind above the false summit was enough to knock me over (50mph?). I climbed the final slope with my hands to the ground. What a view!
RockOn - Aug 15, 2007 8:56 pm Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2007Summit for Someone
Did it for charity (Big City Mountaineers). Can't think of a better way. We stayed in Hidden Valley and did the west face to the summit. This is my first BIG mountain and it kicked my butt.
Sara_Matisse - Aug 11, 2007 12:21 pmAlways something to offer
Have climbed Shasta via Casaval Ridge and the standard Avi Gulch. Casaval ridge is a true classic and must do. Avi Gulch always has something fun and interesting to offer... From scary rock/ice bombs buzzing your head in the dark - to someone with hug legs taking gigantic steps everywhere so you have nowhere to step...:)
mthilgard13 - Aug 9, 2007 3:45 pm Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2007Scott Harmstead
A long, very long, staircase to the top....suitable for one day.
