Congratulations, MarkLives, on reaching your 10th birthday. I vividly remember the day you told me you were thinking of launching it, Herman. I remember thinking, "Odd name. It'll work."
Thank you for keeping us informed. Thank you for having such strong principles. And thank you for celebrating South African creativity at a time when media journalists always seemed so cynical. You've done our industry a great service.
To many more years and decades.
Zibusiso Mkhwanazi
When your businesses age has made it to double-digit numbers, it is evidence that we, the consumers of advertising and marketing content, would struggle to live in a world without Marklives.com.
Happy birthday from Zibusiso Mkhwanazi and all the AvaStars!

To Herman and the MarkLives team

Wishing you a happy birthday and another 10 years of continued success.

Dear Herman and team
Congrats on this big milestone. The publishing business is tricky and publishing for the advertising industry exponentially more so. I commend you staying at it, always sticking to your principles and providing a valuable platform for our industry in this country.

From one ten-year-old to another, congratulations! You've been a source of inspiration from the get go and have shown a level of integrity and balance that puts the rest of the media industry to shame. Pop those corks, Herman, Simone and team, and, when the hangovers subside, let's figure how to become teenagers!

Hi Herman & team
A short note to say a heartfelt congrats on your decade of service to the industry! You started at a time when print publications for our industry were disappearing, and there was a chance that there wouldn't have been an industry voice / water-cooler. MarkLives has been that and much more. We thank you for that, and wish you the best for the next decade!

Kolus: Unsolved
Does the Kolus Have a Secret Issue?
April 13, 2018
The Kolus, Shorewood's most beloved news staple (take that, Potty Talk) read by literally everybody in the student body, is rumored to have a secret online issue, although sources are providing conflicting reports on its digital availability. "No, they totally have an April issue up. It's on their website," said one Arjun Thomas, a student at Shorewood who claims to know so much about the Kolus due to the fact that he "literally works for the paper." However, Thomas' statement was refuted by local senior Brock Omaba, who said "Yeah, I don't think they have an online issue. Why would the Kolus even have a website? Nobody's going to read anything on a high school newspaper's website."
Rumors of the Kolus' secret online issue first emerged when an eagle-eyed reader deciphered a secret code on the games page of the Kolus that translated to "The Kolus will have an online issue in April." After this message was discovered, the school was abuzz for nearly two weeks, with students frantically searching for more messages regarding the April issue. The quest for clues in the Kolus became so rampant that teachers had to ban the newspaper from entering their classrooms in an effort to get students to pay attention to lessons instead of reading the newspaper over and over again. When sophomore Robert West found a message in an old 2005 issue of the Kolus saying "The Kolus will be online in the spring of 2018," newfound excitement brought along new questions regarding the April issue: How long had the Kolus been planning an April issue? Was it all a big joke? Did the Kolus even have a website?
While the paper's April issue hasn't yet come out, many remain hopeful that Shorewood's favorite publication will pull through with this 2005 prophesy.
Any updates regarding this article will be published on www.thekolus.com as part of the paper's online April issue.

Stevens survey about SW Hoboken
3/18/2009 Reminder:
They need your help… take the survey below! (takes 2 minutes)
Mike Manzella writes: "We would like to thank everyone who has taken our survey so far. We have over 175 responses! However, we need some more responses in order to ensure the results are statistically significant. Paper copies of the survey were left at multiple residential, commercial and community locations in the Southwest, but we have had little luck collecting many physical surveys. If you live, work or even drive through Southwest Hoboken, we would really appreciate hearing from you. This is a really important aspect of our design project and we can use the results give the city some helpful tools to decide which projects to select in order to make Hoboken safer and less congested. Take the survey online and please spread the word!"
Take the survey today!
Stevens Institute of Technology students Mike Manzella and Andy Kaplan are working on a "Senior Design Project" – which is a Southwest Hoboken "Traffic and Safety Design Improvement Plan."
They told Hoboken411 "As part of the project we are looking to survey residents, business owners and other stakeholders in southwest Hoboken to determine the importance of several different factors to the community." And added "The responses given will be used to create an economic decision model to evaluate different design alternatives for the southwest. We are working closely with the city on this project, particularly with Dawn Zimmer, the councilwoman whose ward our study area is located in."
Help these guys get an "A" on their project by taking the survey below!

Samantha Power
|September 21, 1970 (age 49)
|U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, 2013-2017
|Bachelor's, Yale University
J.D, Harvard Law School
Samantha Jane Power served as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations from August 5, 2013 to January 20, 2017.
Power was born September 21, 1970, in Dublin, Ireland. Her family emigrated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1979. She graduated from Yale University, and she became a U.S. citizen in 1993 at age 23. From 1993 to 1996, Power worked as a journalist, covering the Yugoslav Wars for U.S. News & World Report, The Boston Globe, The Economist, and The New Republic. She received her J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1999.
From 1998 to 2002, Power served as the founding executive director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, where she later served as the first Anna Lindh Professor of Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy. Her book, "A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide," a study of the U.S. foreign policy response to genocide published in 2002, won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction and the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize in 2003. From 2005 to 2006, she was a foreign policy fellow in then-U.S. Senator Barack Obama's office, and was a senior foreign policy adviser to Obama's 2008 presidential campaign until she resigned after referring to then-Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as "a monster." She joined the Obama State Department transition team in November 2008 and served as special assistant to President Obama and senior director for multilateral affairs and human rights on the National Security Council from January 2009 to March 2013.

- Positano Village
- Amalfi coast drive
- Amalfi Village
- Ravello Village
- Panoramic view of Positano, Amalfi, Ravello
PositanoDriving down-hill directly through Positano descending the winding one-way road, bypassing many local restaurants, leads to the heart of the town - the busy central Piazza dei Mulini that is connected to a narrow downhill path and some occasional flights of steps that lead to the seafront.
At Piazza dei Mulini, you must leave the car as all streets leading to the waterfront are for pedestrians only.
These streets also lead to the cathedral, shops selling lemons, shoes and "Positano fashion" clothing.
While Positano's ceramic and linen industries (Moda Positano) date from the 1950s, they boomed when tourists discovered the village in the 1970s.
Today you'll find lots of these shops on this street, along with galleries featuring the work of local artists (a visit to a factory is at your own discretion).
There is a short walk back uphill in order to return to the car and this time, ascending the mountain, returning to the main coastal road to start the journey back to the hotel or ship.
AmalfiExplore the narrow streets of this maritime village.
The coastal road begins after Sorrento, runs through Positano, the fishing villages of Praiano, Furore and Conca dei Marini, and continues until it reaches the busy square of Amalfi which is situated on the seafront - the port and a long stretch of pebbled beach.
In front of the port of Amalfi, there is the one and only bus station along the coast.
Behind this square lies the main shopping street of Amalfi that terminates at the furthest and highest point of the town.
Along the pedestrian street are various bars and cafés, not to mention the many shops selling limoncello, casual clothing, swimwear, gifts, basic groceries, and of course, ceramics.
However, if one would like to see more than just shops, Amalfi has some interesting sights to explore: the most spectacular cathedral along the coast, the paper factory and its museum.
RavelloRavello is a rural village un spoilt by tourism, perched on top of a mountain cliff situated above Amalfi and Minori. It is famous for its breath-taking views and ancient monuments best exemplified by the gardens of Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo.
In high season, these gardens are rich in sweet secants of blooming flowers, shadows of flora and perfume of lemons.
There are also many classical concerts held in the gardens of Villa Rufolo, located just off the main square of Ravello.
Apart from the main cathedral, also situated in the square there is a history museum constructed in the basement of the cathedral.
Along the narrow arches of Via Roma one will find a few small boutiques and souvenir shops.

Here we go! Short notes on a whole bunch of stuff that I haven't been able to get enough of lately!
Lush Lip scrub in the flavour My Boy Lollipop, yes flavour! You can eat it! It smells good, tastes good and it works really well. I've never used a lip scrub before but I don't see myself trying any other ones because I'm so in love with this! The bright pink colour is also amazing right!
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain in the colour Honey. You might already know this is the most popular shade of this specific product and I can definitely see why! It's just a really nice pinky, natural kind of colour. I don't like the smell.. but thankfully you can't smell it once its applied. I think these are very similar to the Clinique Chubby Sticks but the Revlon version is no where near as moisturising. I just love how easy they are to wear!
Max Factor Lipstick in Bewitching Coral. I'm not usually a lipstick person but I saw this and thought it was just such an amazing colour. To me, its like the perfect coral – not too orange! It just looks really pretty on and its pretty inexpensive.
Body Shop Beautifying Oil in Coconut. I use it on my hair and it smells amazing. It also makes my hair feel really soft which is what I hoped it would do! Not much to say apart from the fact I love it!
Max Factor Eye Brightening Mascara. Personally I think it does what it says on the tin! I feel it does brighten my eyes – not too significantly, but enough that I notice a difference at least.
M.A.C paint pot in Bare Study. Goes on wonderfully, looks great on its own or used as a base, doesn't crease and it lasts all day. Can't. Stop. Using. It!
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. It works great and its pretty cheap. I like it better than some of the more expensive powders I've used.
Aussie Take The Heat Leave-In Cream. This smells amazing and it makes my hair feel really soft, even if it didn't protect my hair from heat I would probably still use it haha!
Hopefully I will be posting more regularly shortly and look forward to my next post which will be about how I make my hair blonder!

Onderwerp: Saint-Germain Jersey
I am a writerproducer who has written four short films and two features that successfully went on to get made. I have produced 11 films in total
Malachi Richardson Jersey
, including eight short films and three feature films. In the 20152016 year (starting at Cannes in May 2015) I have had 15 international film festival screenings of my work, with a future screening of Mano a Mono at Carmarthen Bay Film Festival in May 2016 (a BAFTA Cymru qualifying festival) and The Hunting of the Snark being screened as part of the Toronto Film Week, which runs alongside the Toronto Film Festival in September. I have also picked up six awards at festivals in that time.
If you havent made anything before, start with something that wont be expensive to make
Langston Galloway Jersey
, such as a short film, as this will be attractive to film makers. It is likely that as in the majority of cases of short films, there wont be any money available to make it, so things like the number of people you need and locations really play a big part. Most of this will be the producer in me talking
Jason Williams Jersey
, but it is the producer in me that has led to my writing better screenplays.
1) Can you reduce the number of characters in your story? Ask yourself which characters dont do anything to move the story along and eliminate them. This will not only reduce the number of actors that need to be paid for, but will bring your remaining characters into focus. A film with decent screen time, action and dialogue is attractive to actors as it means decent show reel material that could help them get other work. Too many characters with too few lines will dilute your story and you may find it hard to get good actors on board. The same goes for having extras.
2) Keep locations to a minimum, and avoid external locations. Mano a Mono was shot on one internal location
Georgios Papagiannis Jersey
, and we made use of the different rooms to break up the monotony. This practice eliminates travel time between sets and means you get the best out of the day. It also means that whoever produces your film does not need to go through local Council red tape in pre-production to get permissions for outdoor locations.
3) Shoot in one day. This goes hand in hand with number 2. If you shoot in one location there is no reason your short cannot be filmed in one day. With my film The Shoe, we filmed at two different locations in London, meaning that we needed to schedule two days of filming just for a six minute film. When it came to Mano a Mono, we filmed a 12 minute film in half the time because we shot it in one location.
4) Keep your short film to 10 minutes or less. There are a lot of good quality festivals that accept films 15 minutes or less
DeMarcus Cousins Jersey
, but there are some that only accept them if they are 10 minutes or less. There are very few decent festival opportunities for films that are between 15 and 40 minutes long, and you should always have festivals in mind as this is where you will get recognition.
5) If you can, hook up with a producer who lives in London. This will open up the opportunity for your film to be funded through the London Calling short film programme. From there, you will find it easier to get a more experienced director on board. Also
Darren Collison Jersey
, as this is Film London funding, having success with London Calling will really doors for your next project. Their Microwave Funding programme is a low budget feature film development and production programme, so if you have a feature up your sleeve this could be the next step. There are also funding opportunities in London for young, as well as LGBT filmmakers. There is a very useful Film London Facebook page where you can connect with people: https:www.facebookgroupstalentconnect

More Christmas Card Pictures: Indoor Family Portraits
Lately, the weather has been okay during the beginning of the week but clouds begin to gather around Thursday, and Friday breaks into rain. Most times, Saturday is clear enough for a photo shoot, but it can be an iffy situation, even the day of the shoot. This Thanksgiving week was no exception.
Knowing this might be the case, my clients and I planned on an indoor location and an outdoor one. When we saw that the rain wouldn't ease up that morning, we went ahead and got some great portraits indoors at grandma and grandpa's house. I'm actually really glad we stayed inside. First of all, my camera gear didn't get wet, and we were able to use some of the really fun painted walls in the house as backdrops. I'm sure Little Miss wouldn't have been as agreeable in the damp weather.
Mom and I talked about whether or not to have her daughter wear her new glasses. My suggestion was to do some of both. When my son had to wear a helmet to correct plagiocephaly like the kids in these photos, I made sure to take lots of pictures of him wearing his helmet. After all, I wanted to remember what he looked like everyday. That was my reason for suggesting this to mom, and she seemed to agree. And don't those little glasses look cute?
Besides the beautiful family portrait at the top of the post, I really love the second one with Little Miss peering outside. I love how you can see her reflection in the glass. The kid-level portrait with mom and dad's legs was a special request from mom. It turned out to be quite a task to persuade Little Miss to pose for that one. Finally, that Santa hat just begged to be in a spot color photo.

Marchet, the photos turned out fantastic. I love them. You did an amazing job. I can't wait to see the others. Thanks so much for taking time to photograph my family (and for the photography tips). Maybe next time we'll make it to the barn....if not, we know the house works wonderfully. Thanks again, lisaReplyDelete

I love working with Cottingham Chalk because we treat our clients and each other like family and that carries over to the relationships and service we provide.
There is so much to love about Charlotte – the thriving economy, beautiful neighborhoods, lush landscapes, access to beaches and mountains, lakes, etc. Showing this to clients and sharing in their excitement is one of the greatest joys of our job.
My favorite vacation spots would either be a weekend trip to Charleston or quick flight to Anguilla, mainly because of the exceptional dining options at both!
My favorite pastimes are cooking, music, and soccer. I'm passionate about all of these and couldn't imagine my life without any of them. Ask me about my favorite soccer team. I'm also a Hornets season ticket holder and fan.
I was raised on the best BBQ in North Carolina
I was born in Charlotte and moved back after graduating with a double major in Finance and Accounting from North Carolina State University. In 1998 I was drawn to Charlotte to begin work in investment banking with Bank of America. I spent 8 years working in the commercial mortgage-backed (MBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) area of the bank. In 2006 I made the transition to residential real estate brokerage and have been helping buyers and sellers of some of Charlotte's finest homes.
I am grateful for the opportunity to assist home buyers and sellers with making one of their largest purchases. For this reason, I make sure I give back to my profession and community.
I have been selected and voted by my peers to serve on the Charlotte Realtor Association Board of Directors and the NC Realtors Association Board of Directors. I have served on numerous committees including the chair of the Young Professional Networking committee, the Realtor Grievance committee, and serve on the Government Affairs committee. I have been a yearly major investor of our Realtor PAC that advocates for home owners rights, which is an important way to help further serve my clients. I also travel to Raleigh every year to meet with our state legislators to discuss issues that relate to property owners' advocacy.
I have served as a volunteer delivering meals monthly for Friendship Trays since 2008, as a coach for Let Me Run, an F3 advocate and volunteer, volunteer at Trinity Episcopal School, and attend Myers Park Methodist Church.
Charlotte's vibrant community and economic atmosphere create a wonderful place to grow and establish roots. Its convenient proximity to wonderful lakes, beaches, and beautiful mountains provide a wide range of options for recreational activities. Professional sports teams, rich cultural amenities, and community leadership also continues to land Charlotte as a destination for businesses and people of all ages. I'm proud to call Charlotte home.

Eight terrorists escape a dystopian future to the present day, in the hopes of changing the course of history. But their plans go awry when a really hot police officer accidentally tags along.
That police officer is Kiera Cameron, played by Rachel Nichols. She arrives in the year 2012 wearing her standard-issue, skintight, bronze-colored bodysuit that has the ability to shock people, look up information, or turn her invisible. Plus, she looks great in it.
Kiera comes off as a rather cold person. When she's on the job, she sounds a little like Judge Dredd, or Robocop, practiced and emotionless to the point of sounding robotic (this is particularly noticeable in the scene on the train). In quieter times, she a little more human; but still fairly baseline when it comes to emotions. She has a husband and son in the future whom she'd like to get back to, though we never see her all that distraught over being separated from them. Maybe she's just super confident that she'll get back.
The dystopian nature of the future stems from the collapse of the government, and the subsequent 'bailout' by corporations. It's easy to see this as a reflection of modern times, though the show avoids taking sides. The bankruptcy of the government sounds like a right-wing fever-dream, but the evil corporations taking over is likewise for the left. Of course, this setup isn't foreign to sci-fi, the robot movie Crash and Burn had an identical corporate-run government.
The eight terrorist are fighting against the corporations to reestablish democracy. But while people can sympathize with their goals, their methods, which include killing 30 000 innocent people to take out 20 targets, are less relatable. It's hard to get a handle on the terrorists. Everything about them screams 'homicidal maniac,' to the point that their 'freedom fighter' cause seems irrelevant. Are they true believers, or just killers recruited for the cause? One of the terrorists, Sonya Valentine (who doesn't get many lines in the first episode, but gets more screen time as the season progresses) is played by Lexa Doig, who also played the ship's avatar on the sci-fi TV series Andromeda.
While I'm on the subject, there's a lot of sci-fi veterans in this show. Tony Amenola (Dexter, Stargate SG-1, Once Upon A Time), William B. Davis (The smoking man from The X-Files), and Roger Cross (First Wave, 24).
Kiera, like many a cliched sci-fi stranger in a strange land, quickly adapts. She immediately finds a confidant; a young computer genius, who it turns out has just invented the communications system that she has implanted in her head. Perfect timing. She then finds herself employed by the local police service, despite the fact that she has no credentials, identification, and claims to be a foreign national. (I should note, this issue is addressed successfully in the second episode). And, of course, her new partner doesn't know her secret. They never do.
For a Canadian show, the special effects are impressive; easily on the level, if not slightly better, than what you'd see on any show produced by SyFy itself.
With its first episode, Continuum creates an interesting world with a complex central conflict. There are a few too many convenient happenings in the premiere, but the show improves with each passing episode. Kiera is fleshed out and humanized considerably, and moral issues around the terrorists are explored in a satisfying way.

I recently got this mascara as a mini with the "Best Year Ever 2018" Too Faced set which I bought from Debenhams and is also featured in my haul post, and thought that I would do a review for you guys!
I really liked this mascara as it really helped to give my eyelashes more length, I would it did make them look slightly thicker but not quite as thick as I would have liked but I can't really complain too much because it did look really nice on and helped to open up my eye and complete my makeup look. The brush for the mascara is really thick which means it is a little harder to use on your bottom lashes but not impossible.
When looking for the "perfect" mascara I like to go for something that will give me length and volume but I also like a thick mascara, I wouldn't say I like clumpy mascara but one that is quite thick would definitely be my first choice.
Left Photo: One eye with the "Better Than Sex" mascara and one without
Right Photo: Both with mascara.
Overall I do really like this mascara it looks really nice on and I will definitely be using it again although I am still on the hunt for my perfect mascara! Let me know if there are any mascaras that you love I would love to try out some more!

The sleeve of Strange Flesh uses the term hacker noir to describe the novel, now while this may be a new or faddish genre, the truth of the matter is it perfectly describes the atmosphere of Olson's story. Strange Flesh follows Jimmy Pryce, a down-on-his-luck investigator for the shady Manhattan network security firm RedRook. Pryce's regular duties usually find him trawling internet databases and social media sites searching for information which may be of use to his clients whether they are Fortune 100 companies or the FBI, CIA, NSA and so on. The techniques Pryce employs range from cutting edge computer hacking to the ancient grifts of the con-man. His working life is punctuated by doomed one-night-stands with girls he finds on Craig's list, marathon drinking sessions and luckless games of poker. In Pryce, Olson offers a typical noir lead, a detective of sorts, who does little beyond drink, womanise, gamble and work.
Pryce's world is shaken when his boss at RedRook orders him to take a case for the Randall family, the infamous multi-millionaire media conglomerates. For Pryce, this is more than just another case as he attended Stanford with the twins Blake and Blythe Randall where he had an on-going rivalry with the former and fell hopelessly in love with the latter. The Randall twins want Pryce to find Billy Randall, the black sheep of the family who, in their reckoning, faked his death with an elaborate work of video-art in order to disappear from their familial control. In order to locate the missing man Pryce has to go under cover at an avant garde technology research institute called GAME. The institute, which resembles an avant garde artist's commune, was founded by Billy Randall and his cohort. In searching for the missing man, Pryce delves ever further into the worlds of gaming, shock-art and BDSM. Graphic violence and paranoia bleed through from the fictional worlds of the GAMErs (sic) into Pryce's real life setting up a tense and claustrophobic narrative which proceeds at great pace through the subcultures it describes.
Where Olson's novel succeeds is in capturing the excitement and addiction of serious gaming. Games of all forms litter the novel, from late night poker sessions in Stanford, to the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) which becomes an obsession for many integral characters, to the game-like programming techniques used by the story's hackers. Olson is able to recount the feeling of playing these games, the rush of a gambit paying off, the overwhelming desire to progress and the eerie feeling when real life takes second place to game life.
The novel overflows with information. The numerous hobbies, games, cultures, professions and sexual preferences that are encountered all chime with the accuracy of a confident researcher. The reader believes in the reality of the live-action role player who fights with toy swords to the same degree as that of the wealth debutante who only drinks Laphroaig whiskey. Similarly, when Olson describes Pryce's first foray into the world of online gaming he is careful to note the presence of spambots and information harvesters thus lending credibility and depth to the reader's experience.
As mentioned above, the story moves at a rapid pace darting from location to location and from our offline reality to the online virtual reality of game space. The only time this pace stalls or slows is when Olson needs to explain terminology. Occasionally he takes time to explain terms like pwning or to give biographies of people like the Marquis de Sade. I appreciate that this will be helpful to those unfamiliar with the world the story inhabitants, but perhaps they are too frequent and occasionally patronising to the reader.
Overall, Strange Flesh is an exciting and gripping piece of adult fiction. The pages turn quickly and invite the reader to reach deeper and deeper into the murky world of James Pryce.

Are You Like Me?
Okay. So, let's be honest. I'm not sure how long we can get away with kidding ourselves regarding our bodies. I firmly believe it is part of the human condition to make excuses and pad reality so we can continue to make the same bad choices. This isn't just about fitness. This relates to everything in our lives. Relationships, work, health, goals, dreams…
I can jump hoops to convince myself that two glasses of red wine with dinner is not unhealthy. I deserve it and enjoy savoring a glass with my dinner while I relax after a long, hard day at work. Oh, and BTW, I do work hard and have a physically demanding job so I double dog deserve it! Don't I? Don't I?
How about the chips and hummus that I eat some afternoons before I work out? I know the hummus is a good choice. But tortilla chips? Tsk tsk tsk.
These choices are ones I can easily excuse away. I deserve them, they are "sorta" healthy, or at least that's what we tell ourselves. You name it, I can justify it. I'm doing it right now, as I type. It's Sunday afternoon, my last day before I need to get back to work. I'm 46. I've raised many children and work really hard. Is a glass of wine really going to keep me from meeting my goals???? Do you see the litany of excuses I can come up with to justify these bad habits?
Are you the same as I am? Can you look at the choices you make each day and understand that you are working overtime just explaining away all of the choices you could be making more wisely?
Being fit is work. It's good work. It's satisfying work. But it's work. (Click to tweet!)
I remember a conversation last year when a friend asked me how I got fit. I had been eating clean and working out regularly for about 2 years. I proceeded to tell them and, in fact, show them, the possibilities regarding a simple body weight workout. At every turn, they said they could not do one exercise after another because of a multitude of reasons.
All the while, as I listened, all I could picture in my mind was the Iraq Vet that I have watched walk with a braced crutch each afternoon, miles away from his home, rain or shine, for the last 5 years in our community. I've watched him become stronger and stronger, meeting and exceeding his challenges, until he can walk without the crutch, on even the hottest or coldest days without fail. He looks determined, fit, and happy.
I'm curious what makes some people so determined to make wellness a priority and be their best selves and others it just takes so…much…work to even come to that place, mentally and physically. DNA I guess.
Whatever it is, it's important to get a handle on which one you are and how you will overcome it. If you're anything like me, you will be a challenge!
Let's Get Real
First thing's first. Let's determine the level you are at by calculating your BMI (Body Mass Index). BMI is a measurement based on your height and weight that can be a good indicator of the amount of body fat you carry. Knowing this measurement can help you begin researching and understanding what type of fitness plan can be most beneficial to you as you start working on your goal to be as healthy as you can be.
You can calculate your BMI using the calculator below. Use this measurement to determine if you are under-weight, normal weight, over-weight, or obese.
It's important to know this classification in order to understand the best type of fitness goals you can safely set when you begin your plan to fitness.
If you are underweight, a good fitness plan could include plenty of quality foods including healthy fats, proteins, and fiber along with a moderate routine of exercise to build muscle strength and endurance.
If your of normal body-weight, you may want to set a goal of building muscle and becoming more toned. Or perhaps you may want to go even further and engage in a plan of body building, in which case you will need to supplement and learn to eat much more healthy food. A healthy, clean diet can continue to prevent weight related disease.
If you are over-weight, adding cardio and light weight training to your daily routine and a healthy diet that creates a calorie deficit in order to begin losing weight may be beneficial. These classifications can also help you determine how close you are to a healthy state. If you are 10 lbs beyond the highest "normal" weight on the BMI scale, then set your goal to losing 10lbs. If your new habits help you lose enough to bring you lower on the "normal" scale, terrific! But know when to stop and to begin maintaining a healthy weight so you don't become unhealthy and underweight.
If you fall within the obese classification, the risk for many serious weight-related diseases and other ailments is quite high. It is very important to get a handle on this and to find a way to bring healthy habits into your life. As difficult as it may seem, the challenges that come with diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and many other health issues related to obesity are infinitely higher and less satisfying. See your doctor to determine a safe regimen for welcoming healthy habits into your life. Find a partner or a group to help you meet these new challenges (connect with us for inspiration!) and make it a priority. You mean a lot to the world and your health is important!
According to the CDC, the following information can help you determine where to begin.
Weight Range
|Weight Status
|5′ 9″
|124 lbs or less
|Below 18.5
|125 lbs to 168 lbs
|18.5 to 24.9
|169 lbs to 202 lbs
|25.0 to 29.9
|203 lbs or more
|30 or higher
Wherever you fall on this scale, making healthy choices will not come easily. It's a whole new way of living that really isn't possible without real and permanent changes.
How do you feel about where you fit on the BMI scale? Do you have a better sense of where to go begin? Don't let these numbers scare you. Each measurement provides a realistic place to begin. It isn't possible to set safe and realistic goals until we are honest with ourselves about our bodies. No place is any easier or any more difficult than another. Every person is in a place to make a plan and make it stick…for their health. For their life.

How To Cook a Peacock--
I wanted to get back to the historical research, and feature some skills that are not generally known now but make excellent trivia for a magpie mind.
The Archeologist's Lament
So I've been reading Apicius, the first food writer I know of, on Roman cuisine. Another book, Food in Antiquity, I keep putting down. Unfortunately for them, archeologists learn about human diet by excavating old outhouses and counting and typing grain pieces. What a job. I'd rather keep slogging through Apicius, and the Roman diet does deserve a long post.
Bird: It's What's For Dinner!
In the meantime, I have learned that modern American poultry cooking is remarkably narrow-minded compared to that of Rome and the Middle Ages. They ate every bird; larks, the four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie, thrushes, shrikes, fish-eating birds, as well as insect or grain-eating birds. Many marinades were devised to get rid of the taint of fish in the pelican dinner--and the decay of the old bird. This must be odd to most of the people I know, who are buying one part of the chicken already boned, skinned, sauteed, and stuck in a microwaveable tray with dubious sauce.
I don't know if you are aware, but the custom with game birds has been to hang them, dead, until they become 'aged' for better flavor. I have sought in vain for this formula, and it didn't seem like it should be hard to find. Eureka! At last! Basically, once the birds have lost their rigor mortis, they are tender enough to cook. In the days before refrigeration, you left the feathers on the bird, strung up outside by its neck, until that happy period was achieved.
The Royal Poulterer
I also did find a recipe for the medieval feast in Fabulous Feasts--on how to cook a peacock. This was quite the sensation at Medieval tables. No kingly banquet could be said to be spectacular without it.
The recipe is basically a turkey recipe (stuffed bird in wood-burning oven), except you must preserve the head and the skin with feathers still attached. This is accomplished by beheading the bird incompletely, preserving its head and neck, and flaying it very carefully. Once the bird is stuffed, marinated, and roasted, it is wrapped in the feather skin and arranged on the plate, for service at King Richard's merry table.
I've thought about this and decided the opening has to be between the wings in the back. Then the server can get to the actual dish, picking it out of its feathery shell from the top. The recipe does not say. It mostly conveys the woe that betides the serf who does not save every peacock feather on the bird.
You could not have lived a complete life without knowing this.

I can honestly say that the peacock recipe does not sound appealing. Our older son does smile with pride that he ate frog legs one time on vacation.

Is it bad that all I can think about is how unsanitary the peacock skin would be touching the cooked meat? Not to say I wouldn't try it (shh - don't tell Dr. M - he's a softy).

Dear Slamdunk,
Your son is far more brave than me. I have never eaten a frog leg. And although I am sure it was wonderful, I do not want one just now, thank you.
Dear The Bug,
I can't even begin to list the ways I would find this unsanitary . . . starting with the skin, the feathers dragged through the dust, the many hands that would have touched the bird over and over in order to get the skin back on. Ick!
Still, can I not say the same for TV dinners? How many hands were involved in that?
you guys are brave,
Thanks for writing in!

Good thing PETA wasn't around back then...LOL
But then again, maybe in the Middle Ages, PETA used to stand for:
I'm just sayin'...
"Serf'S UP", folks!

- Ann T. said...
Dear Bob G.,
If PETA had been around in the middle ages, they would have been the combination moralist/cashiers that they are today.
So, in my opinion, they would have either been--
those guys who sold indulgences to get into heaven, (simonizers?) or--
the really ascetic monks who made sure everybody whipped themselves during Lent.
I like animals but not PETA,
Thanks for writing in!

Airport operator says six new destinations and 71 extra weekly flights to India are among key additions
Six new destinations and 71 extra flights a week to India are among the additions to Abu Dhabi International Airport's summer 2014 flying schedule.
Abu Dhabi Airports, its operator, described the schedule as the "busiest in its history".
The number of weekly flights available for business travellers and holiday makers will increase by 18 percent compared to last year's summer from 1,052 to 1,242, a statement said.
New routes to be served this summer compared to the same period in 2013 include non-stop flights from Abu Dhabi to Los Angeles in the US, Zurich in Switzerland, Belgrade in Serbia, Perth in Australia, Jaipur in India and Yerevan in Armenia.
Abu Dhabi International Airport will also see more flights this summer in the Gulf region to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain.
Additionally, more aircraft will fly to Pakistan with extra flights to Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Karachi, Peshawar and Rahin Yar Khan.
European cities to be further linked with the UAE's capital city including Rome, Moscow, Munich, Athens and Dublin
Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore will each witness 14 extra flights a week from Abu Dhabi - the greatest growth in the Indian market. There will be 10 new services to Mumbai, eight to Cochin and seven to Delhi on a weekly basis. The new route to Jaipur operated by Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways will operate once a day.
Ahmad Al Haddabi, chief operations officer, Abu Dhabi Airports, said: "The summer schedule will be the largest flying programme Abu Dhabi has ever operated. The growth compared to last year is a testament to the eyes of the world looking more and more at the UAE's capital, and to the country's national airline, Etihad Airways, satisfying that ever growing demand."
"This is an exciting time in our development as we remain on track to open the world's biggest new terminal in 2017 and the growth in the number of flights linking Abu Dhabi to cities all around the world is a trend that Abu Dhabi Airports expects to continue in the years ahead."For all the latest transport news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

Travelling across Adriatic Islands: Discover Wetlands, No. 2 Dugi otok
Here is the second story, the second island called and known by all as Dugi Otok (=Long Island)! Surely you have been tingling with anticipation for the sequel about the Adriatic Islands wetlands?! Let's take a look at the news brought to you by this instalment of the travels along the Adriatic!
We visited Dugi Otok, the largest of the northern Dalmatian islands, in May 2017, from the 8th to the 13th. Our visit and research plan were announced to the PI Natura Jadera (Public Institution for the management of protected nature areas of Zadar County). With the topographic and digital ortophoto maps in hand, coordinates of wetlands and ponds in the GPS, the camera around the neck, hats on our heads and souls filled with enthusiasm we scattered about the field. We covered the entire island, north to south, in search of wetlands, and can safely say that the name "dugi" (=long) fits the island perfectly! On its 45 km of length and one to four kilometers of width, we recorded 92 wetlands by examining the maps. There are two wells, 15 cisterns, three lakes, one canal, 44 ponds, 26 intermittent streams and one cove with vegetation characteristic of saline wetlands. The main focus of our field research were the ponds, whose presence we wanted to confirm, investigate their current status and inventory their biodiversity.
Figure 1. Map of the wetlands on Dugi Otok Island
During our stay, we visited about 30 ponds. Most of them are man-made, for agricultural and livestock-keeping purposes, while the minority is of natural origin. However, their continued existence is also dependent on human actions and usage. Large areas are left to become overgrown, which is a direct result of the long-occurring trend of emigration from the island and the abandonment of agriculture. This worries us because it means the ponds are left to themselves, awaiting an ill fate of succession and disappearance. The exception are the fertile valleys and lovely fields like Žman Lakes, in the hinterland of Žman, Dugo Polje Field by Zaglav, and Kruševo Field near Sali, where the land is still being tended by the local population in a sustainable manner that keeps the ponds functional without overtaxing them. We learned many interesting facts and stories about the usage of ponds through history while chatting with hard working viticulturists, olive growers and other farmers. Jump into the Long Island pond time machine and give in to the current of the stories we prepared for you about these water pearls!
MALO JEZERO LAKE, Žman
The fertile Žman Valley is situated in the central part of the island, southwest of the Žman Village. Hidden here is a plethora of arable land and vineyards, along with two lakes – Malo and Velo, better known as Žman Lakes. The green valley with lush blooming vegetation, surrounded and hidden by hills in the harsh karst environment, reminded us of the idyllic landscape of the mythical Shire from J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. This idyll was completed by the conversations we had with several farmers from Žman we encountered tending their fields. They told us that the valley periodically completely floods during the rainy season, with the water level rising to three metres. This winter and early spring there was less rainfall, so the water level rose by just one metre, and the field were flooded till March. Our conversational partner remembers, with a hint of laughter and worry, an anecdote – one autumn the valley flooded just as it was time to pick the grapes. They were like fishermen on the sea, rowing through the vineyard rows and picking the ripe grapes. Such a harvest sound like some sort of attractive fiction to tourists and us, but for the local farmer they are worrisome and laborious. We also learned that sometimes high water levels persisted in the valley all the way till June in the last 30-ish years, which complicates work in the fields and prolongs the ripening period of fruits. Despite this, the local population appreciates this valley and the Žman Lakes, the water pearl reservoirs of fresh drinking water and the aquifer that provides drinking water for Žman and the surrounding villages.

Here are some photos that we took of interesting and photogenic species from this secretive oasis of wetland biodiversity for you to enjoy...

The Long Island story is somewhat different from the previous. Why, you may ask? Because we had a different type of education – expert education for biology students of the Biology Students Association – BIUS (http://www.bius.hr/?p=1324) from the Divison of Biology of the Faculty of Science, Zagreb. While we were on Long Island they, in cooperation with the Public Institution Natura Jadera and the Public Institution Nature Park Telašćica organised the research-educational project "Insula Tilagus 2017". Members from the Butterfly, Dragonfly and Freshwater Gropus joined us in the field, where they had the opportunity to learn by doing which data should be recorded and how to do it, in order to evaluate the status of wetlands, how to use a GPS device and its importance in locating wetlands, that ponds may be stationary, but can still be hard to find, which animal and plant groups live in these oases, and which characteristics are essential in identifying certain species and habitats. We would like to thank everyone from BIUS for their pleasant cooperation and company, and especially the Management Board, which organised our stay in the Kargita Camp, near Veli Rat, and in Nature Park Telašćica.
Figure 5. BIUS and Hyla – together we're stronger!
To show that the islanders are very important to us we conducted ad hoc education in the field of the local inhabitants. We encouraged them to touch and hold a four-lined snake we found near their field. We helped them get over their fear of them and explained their usefulness in controlling rodent populations, emphasising the benefits of having them close to their fields.
Figure 6. Islanders and the four-lined snakes
The story of Dugi Otok halts here, but it does not stop! We plan another visit to the island, in autumn. For all adventurers we announce the new island adventure ¬– we're going south, the next destination is Korčula, the island that enchanted us. Want to know why? Stay tuned for No. 3 Korčula.

Jonna K. Vuoskoski with M. R. Thompson, C. Spence, and E. F. Clarke (2016) explore the influence of auditory and kinematic cues on subjective emotional reactions to piano performances and on ratings of loudness and tempo variability.
Luiz Naveda with M. Leman (2010) scrutinize the hypothesis that "basic gestures are spatiotemporal frame of reference for action-perception couplings" (p. 87). Leman and Naveda's cutting-edge analyses superimposed repetitive movement in Samba and Charleston dance forms on musical cues such as time points and loudness. The researchers concluded that spatiotemporal reference frames reside as memory patterns in mental and/or motor domains.
In the late 1980s as a doctoral student investigating music recognition, my QuickBASIC code running on a Mac SE allowed me to explore music perception as an auditory experience. However, auditory music perception is only part of the story. Brave questions, often labor-intensive methods, and eventually improved computer speed and storage, paved the way for more ecologically valid, multimodal approaches to the perception of music. The further seven articles in this virtual issue build on our field's legacy, using state of the art techniques to investigate the many modalities in music performance and perception. How are the modalities of vision, movement, spoken language, integrated in perception and production of music? This new collection sheds light on the integration of music and movement in adults (Demos & Chaffin, 2018; Schiavio & Timmers, 2016), in children (Kohn & Eitan, 2016), the integration of auditory-visual integration in performance evaluation (Griffiths & Reay, 2018), sensory dominance in cinema (Boltz, 2017), the development of sensitivity to metrical structure (Einarson & Trainor, 2016) and the intelligibility of lyrics in death metal music (Olsen, Thompson & Giblin, 2018).
Here's to a celebration of all things perceptually and cognitively musical and the 15th ICMPC!
