At the dressing table, 1909
Zinaida Serebriakova (1884-1967) – one of the most famous Russian artists. Consisted in the association "Mir iskusstva". And I personally do not like the portrait as a genre, but her portraits have conquered my heart forever.
1. The artist was modest and unsociable child suffering from ilnesses.
2. The girl was born in a truly talented and creative family: her great-great-grandfather was an Italian composer, great-grandfather and grandfather – architects, uncles – artists, architects and theorists of art, father – a sculptor. And almost everyone became outstanding in his work.
3. In her teenage years, her love for Russia "in its rustic, peasant, genuinely popular image and being" flashed in her, which forever remained in her heart.
4. In 1905, Zinaida married a cousin Boris Serebriakov.
5. She was inspired by the works of Renoir, but especially Degas and Venetsianov.
6. She did not accept the latest trends in art and even criticized them. Even Cezanne, she considered "helpless" in the drawing.
7. For "Serebriakova's" landscapes, the significance of the embodied motif, generality, compositional thinking, aspiration to balance and logical construction is characteristic.
8. The artist was impressed by the motive of the plowed or green field leaving to the horizon, endless distances and the autumn or autumn sky covering them.
9. The most famous self-portrait of the artist "At the dressing table" (1909) is a kind of protection and the border between themselves and the viewer. She depicts not herself, but her reflection in the mirror. The work is distinguished simultaneously by the liveliness and "stoppage" of time.
10. Serebriakova is one of the first Russian painters of the XX century who revived the tradition of depicting a naked female body in " an independent aesthetic meaning."
11. Serebriakova does not embellish her models, but draws them as they are, paying special attention to their merits.
12. One can often notice in the women's portraits the features of Serebriakova herself.
13. For Serebriakova, peasants are as free people, engaged in the same labor as she and her relatives.
14. Zinaida Serebriakova was essentially self-taught and achieved recognition, thanks to the inherent nature of talent and hard work.
15. Throughout her life, Serebriakova is surrounded by separation from relatives (the husband was constantly on business trips throughout Russia, and in 1924 the artist was forced to emigrate without returning to her beloved Russia) and their death: 1886 – father, 1898 – grandfather, 1917 – model Polya Molchanova, to whom Zinaida was sincerely attached; 1919 – the husband, 1933 – mother.
16. She repeatedly received an invitation from the Academy of Arts to take the place of professor, but life circumstances did not allow her to accept it every time.
17. While working on portraits, Serebriakova did portraits of the same model several times.
18. Often portraits were written during one session from 30 minutes to 2-3 hours.
19. Serebriakova was very shy to work on the streets of cities, therefore the Parisian landscapes were made mainly in the park of the Tuileries and in the Luxembourg garden. She has almost no Petersburg landscapes.
20. In 1930-50-s because of the ilnesses the artist rarely left the house, so she worked mostly on still life. For them, she was not looking for unusual items, she was approached by the most ordinary things: household utensils, vegetables.
21. In 1928 and 1932, she spent one and a half months in Morocco. The trip was paid by the patron of art the Baron Jean de Brouwer, with the proviso that he will take back several of the works she created in Morocco.

There's plenty weird about my hilarious friend Kumail Nanjiani to get the show started off right! I've been good friends with Kumail for ten years so we're able to go deep into his comedy (specifically how his early voice was so different from his style now), his marriage (Kumail is one of the few young, married comedians I know) and his thoughts on religion. Buckle up for weirdness!

In order to draw the human figure well, you need to have a good knowledge of human anatomy. Yet many artists today still hang on to the myth that good figure drawing does not involve studying anatomy. Perhaps the reason so many artists feel this way is because they never saw first hand what a big difference a little anatomical detail can make to their sketches.
In this article, I'd like to give you some quick but important points about the human body and how they pertains to your figure drawing.
Of all the aspects of human anatomy, the muscles will undoubtedly have the most impact on how your drawings look, as it is at the very surface. One thing to remember about muscles is that they always pull; every movement that you make is the direct result of one or more muscles contracting and pulling on your bones. What this means is that when the figure you are drawing is engaged in dynamic action, you must pay attention to the muscles involved and depict them accordingly.
For example, if you are drawing a boxer who is throwing a right hook, you must ask yourself, "Which muscles are pulling in order to make this action possible?" Then you would draw those muscles as flexing. In this case, the flexing muscles would be the pectoralis major, the deltoid, and the biceps, to name a few. In most cases, a particular movement will involve multiple muscle groups and the more muscles you can depict, the more convincing your drawings will be. Without this, your drawings will look static and lifeless.
Your ability to recognize and draw these muscles will improve as your knowledge of anatomy increases. As a beginner, you might only be able to draw big muscles like the bicep or shoulder, but as you progress in your study of anatomy, you'll be able to add in finer details like the supinator longus and the anconeus. This will give your drawing an extra dimension of realism.
Just a light knowledge of anatomy can do wonders for your drawing. For example, there are many muscles in the neck but there is one particular muscle that artists should pay attention to. It is the sternocleidomastoid. It connects behind the ear and attaches to the collar bone. This muscle is very prominent and can be seen on almost everyone. Simply by adding this one muscle to your drawings of the neck, you can instantly make it ten times more realistic. This should show you how useful human anatomy is to the figure drawing artist.

In our tropical climate, heavy rainfall occurs often (and sometimes unexpectedly too) which can make driving conditions less safe. Fortunately, automatic wipers for the windscreen were invented over 110 years ago and motorists have been able to clear the water that falls on the glass as they drive.
"Especially in a tropical country like Malaysia with heavy rain and monsoon seasons, drivers depend on wipers to clear their windshield of rain and improve visibility. The cost of wiper maintenance is small but the role it plays in ensuring the well-being of drivers and their loved ones is big," said Pang Yoon Kong, Country Manager of Bosch Automotive Aftermarket Malaysia.
Mr. Pang said that a Bosch Automotive Aftermarket survey found that 70% of Malaysian drivers viewed wipers as very important for driver and passenger safety. However, 53% of those interviewed indicated that they stretched the use of their wiper blades beyond 12 months; only 32% replaced the wiper blades with new ones every year.
"The rubber of a wiper blade will deteriorate over time due to road debris, chemicals, and climate exposure, aside from wear due to exposure to the weather elements. While many wiper blades today can last up to a year, Bosch recommends drivers to inspect the condition of their wiper blades regularly for wear and tear every 6 months, and to replace them once every year," he advised.
The survey also found that 35% of Malaysian drivers spend an average of RM21 – RM40 on a pair of wiper blades, followed by 28% and 15% spending RM41 – RM60 and RM80 – RM120, respectively. So it's not expensive to replace them regularly for safer driving.
Bosch offers a range of wiper blades for almost every vehicle model in the market and the range includes the Bosch Clear Advantage line. This wiper blade is equipped with a hassle-free quick clip adapter that enables drivers to replace the blades conveniently by themselves in just one step. The wiper blade's rubber is coated with graphite to reduce friction between the blade and the windscreen for a smooth and quiet wiping performance.
The flat blade is also equipped with a mono Evodium steel spring that spans the entire length of the blade, creating a uniform pressure all along the blade as it presses against the windscreen. This ensures consistent and reliable wiping performance under any condition, making the Clear Advantage an ideal wiper for the Malaysian weather.
Mr. Pang advised those who will be travelling on their Balik Kampung journeys to inspect the wiper blades for wear and tear and to replace them if necessary for safer drive home or on holiday.

Co-founders of luxury, purpose-built care home specialist Oakdale Care Group Andrew Long (AL) and Chris Babington (CB) discussed their all-inclusive living model and plans for their latest home in Buntingford, Hertfordshire with CHP's Emma Calder.
Care Home Professional: What makes Oakdale different from different providers?
AL: The main difference is our approach. Chris and I are both personally involved with the business, we have been around businesses and care homes for a number of years now and we're both people- orientated. So, whilst the facilities and the fabric and the nature of a purpose-built asset is clearly important to try to set the standards of the environment, it's also combining that with the right people and if you have that right environment you are often able to generate and attract the right people.
I think one of the other differences with us or with our approach is that we're not necessarily going into all of those hot spots that a lot of the other operators have gone into. We're slightly outside those more expensive areas in the south east in and around the M25. We have brought a product further south, embellished the facilities and are packaging it up and offering it in a different way.
CB: I think there's always a market for the top end as Andrew says. A lot of people are trying to do that, how many cinema rooms can you put in? And how many things can you do? We're not trying to be the Dorchester we're trying to be a very good boutique style chain. Our homes are really nice, our care really is 'caring' and our service is really good. We offer a much more personal service with an all-inclusive pricing model. We're probably going to be aspirational to some and value for money for others. We think we offer an attractive and robust business model that will be able to weather any swings in the economic cycle.
AL: With the all-inclusive approach, we're taking a slightly different view from how care home operators have traditionally charged for their services. Under the traditional model, operators have added on all the things that would customarily be bill-able extras so that customers were faced with two bills at the end of the month, one being a large bill for their core fee, and another, which sometimes looks a little bit incidental and slightly mean spirited perhaps in some respects.
We thought why not take the approach of a package that says we'll put everything into it but not only will we include all those things usually charged extra for, let's actually reinforce that package more positively and go out of our way to change the staff culture around offering more and doing more for the clients as part of that all-inclusive approach.
CB: I think where people start to look at our all-inclusive model, they think, "that's good value for money". But it's not just about the value for money, it's making the resident inclusive in the home so that 'Dorothy' doesn't actually think she can't get her hair cut, we want her to get her hair cut and to make herself feel good.
CHP: How have you catered the all-inclusive model to suit individual needs?
AL: We make it very clear and transparent how much our residents are going to be charged and what they're going to get for that and that's irrespective of their dependency level in the home, or their care needs or a particular resident. Here in Layston, our fee is going to be £1,100 per week and that's completely inclusive of everything.
We embarked on the all-inclusive philosophy long before the CMA started their review into the price of care and how that was being put across by care home operators, particularly in the private sector. One of the things we were really keen to do was to not get snared by this accusation that our private clients are subsidising our local authority funded clients. So, everybody pays the same fee, granted that's not an insignificant amount of money. If you're local authority funded you may have to pay up to a third of the full amount.
CB: I think it avoids conversations between residents and relatives about what the fees are but it also helps improve the overall transparency and prevents the resident from feeling as though they can't do something because they have got to pay for it. It removes a lot of fear in the home and conversations around money and it makes the focus really on the product, which we are actually trying to offer.
AL: It's important for us that staff, residents and relatives can feel as though they can ask us a question, engage with us in a conversation about what their needs are and we'll have that conversation with them because that's part of us doing our job and being interested in what we do.
CHP: For that model to work you have to pick the right area, so why Buntingford?
CB: I think in terms of when we set up the company we were looking at locations that would suit a private model and where there was a lack of a high quality home. Buntingford is a growing town and had a lack of a quality offering which we felt we could offer. The site is in a great setting and there are a number of surrounding villages which we hope we can attract families to Layston Grove. With the increasing number of people moving into Buntingford, we can also offer employment opportunities.
CHP: Who are your competitors here?
AL: St Margret's House in Royston is a very good example of a very well run home that would be a valid competitor to Layston Grove, and then you have got homes in Stevenage, Baldock, Letchworth and Hertford and Ware.
Quantum Care operates a home here but they have very openly declared that they're not going to pursue the path of private fee paying clients in luxury homes so that does leave a choice for people in this part of the world and I guess that choice is around price and services.
CHP: You mentioned recruitment. What has the recruitment process been like for you?
CB: We started recruiting really towards the end of last year and in terms of expectations we thought this is going to be slightly different. There's probably an element of people who moved out here looking for a job and probably haven't thought about care, as well as a number of people who will have to travel a bit further. It's been about forming a nucleus of a new home and has been quite interesting. We managed to fill the first nucleus of staff members with no more effort than we have made in other places. The number has probably been less in terms of absolute numbers applying but not in terms of the quality of the applications. A large number of those were people I would like to employ. There's probably slightly more preference for people who want to do administration here because of the people who have moved out of the city into this area.
AL: Despite the location we had a strong cohort of manager applications. We have appointed Sam Campbell who was previously the manager of Quantum Care's home in Buntingford. Sam was on an upward career trajectory so it was a logical step for her having been a manager to take the next step of commissioning a new home and having the opportunity to do that. But we had some good manager applications and we had quite a lot of interest from people further afield recognising the aspiration of the location.
We have a different approach to training. We have a two week training process in-house and then we generally have a lot of other training. The feedback we get from our staff is that our training is so much better than our competitors. That attracts people who have been in the profession because they see it as a positive.
CHP: Are you using an agency for recruitment?
CB: We use a mixture. We use direct advertising through the typical care websites or where care jobs are advertised and then we also have an agency we use, which is a more specialist healthcare recruiter so we used a mix of those and our own network.
CHP: Do you use any agency staff?
CB: No. We haven't used any agency staff since we started operating and it doesn't really fit our model to be honest in terms of actually helping our residents.
AL: Our overall position is having a higher than average level of staff per resident. In my previous experience the ratio of carers to residents might have been somewhere between 1-5 and 1-7. We're thinking 1-4 is really the optimum level to be at for care staff. That's outside of hospitality and support staff. That's something that underpins our approach around not getting into an agency situation and having sufficient numbers of staff on hand with bank staff that you can then call upon as required. We then have the capacity to look at care planning, key worker approaches and care co-ordination in a little bit more of an unhurried and considered way.
CB: It goes back to our approach as well in our salary model. We try and pay people more so we try and create loyalty in our approach and so therefore we would like to reinvest the money into our staff rather than actually into agencies. So if you run it through, it reduces your risk in the business and makes the job more rewarding for everyone rather than rushing from pillar to post and hopefully at the end of the day it's an economic model as well.
CHP: What technologies will you be using here?
AL: We will be using Person Centred Software's digital care planning system. Care staff will be equipped with an iPad that allows them to access an electronic care plan and care interactions very quickly. They won't be having to sit back and write out reports or be stuck in the corner of a lounge with lever arch files trying to remember what they did three hours ago. They are able to do their interactions spontaneously and hopefully that frees up more time to actually provide care.
The system drives out reports that enable us to look at trends and assess simple things like weight loss, weight gain, hydration, food intake and satisfaction of clients, as well as the day to day care interactions our staff are performing. It also allows us to see what's going on in the care home even if we're not there and the next stage to that is then opening up what's called the relatives gateway which allows relatives access into the care plan. We're just on the brink of doing that in our first care home at present.
CB: I think the staff should see it as a bit of a safety mechanism as well. So if 'Dorothy' hasn't had her required fluid it will flash up red on her photo on the front screen of the iPad so we should be able to minimise the risk of inadvertent risks happening.
AL: We are also using Boots' iCare electronic medication dispensing system. It's a scanning system that calibrates the stock as it's being used and gives you an instant reading as to whether that medication is being dispensed properly so that it can reduce to a high degree any kind of medication issue.
CHP: Looking ahead to the future, do you have any plans for future developments? Do you have an optimum size in mind for the business?
CB: We're always on the lookout for good quality sites. We didn't put the company together thinking we're going to be the biggest or anything else. We want to be pretty much the best at what we do but we don't want to lose the ethos of Andrew and I being seen around the sites, so that limits how big the group is going to get. We always thought 10 to 12 homes over a period of three to five years would be a good size.
CHP: Do you have any other homes on the horizon?
We have got a couple of sites which we are looking at the moment but you have always got to be careful of how they fit within your management group so we know we're not stretching ourselves. There's no point having a care home up in Scotland which might have the best economic case because we're not going to be able to service it in the way we want to service it. We have got a couple of potential sites which will fit into our existing geography.

That's the question coming out of Connecticut this week, see Connecticut Law Tribune article here. Whatever the answer, the numbers of Self-Represented Litigants or SRLs is on the rise. The trend isn't limited to Connecticut either. Recent conversations with family court judges, clerks of court and masters-in-equity have indicated that South Carolina is also part of the trend.
The challenges faced by other court systems also mirror what is happening in South Carolina. SRLs are not familiar with procedures to meet minimal requirements such as notifying the other party or service of process. Even if they meet procedural requirements they may not understand some of the documents themselves. They may not even complete all the necessary forms.
Additionally, attorneys have a reputation for using their own language, also known as legalese. The phrases in legal documents often are in Latin, not English. The South Carolina Access to Justice Commission is working with the courts to ensure that court documents are written in Plain English whenever possible.
Clerks of Court in South Carolina have also noted the rise in SRLs. Members of the public often ask for forms, then ask for help completing them. Or they may ask for advice from the clerk of whether to bring the action. Clerks are wary of responding – not because they don't want to help, but because they don't want to overstep into the practice of law – the unauthorized practice of law. In South Carolina, there are established laws indicating that only attorneys licensed in South Carolina may practice law in South Carolina. Legal advice is considered the practice of law. The South Carolina Access to Justice Commission is also working to address this question by developing signage clearly indicating what clerks can and cannot do. And the Commission is working with a clerk of court work group to educate clerks and the general public about the fine line between advice and information.
Judges note that they too have ethical dilemmas. When SRLs appear in their courtrooms and miss relevant pieces of their cases, the judges want to help but they too have boundaries. They may not help one side to the detriment of another.
SRLs have arrived and South Carolina is working to address the issue of increased numbers of SRLs in the courts.
But it may take a little while.
Thanks for your patience.

When I was young there was no room for being sick, no time in my busy life for a cold, for a day in front of the TV watching movies and eating ice-cream under my duvet. Whenever I approached the breakfast table looking like a used crash test dummy, and complaining of an ailment, my mother would suggest that I take a tablet, "Take a Solpadeine, it will make you feel a lot better." So I would sit drinking my hot Ribena and swallow two Solpadeine before going to school, and for all my resentment that my mother would never let me just have a day off school, she was right… I did feel better.
The past week or so has not been easy. Work has been a total upheaval of reorganising duties and responsibilities, getting used to new bosses, and making sure that nothing got missed in the process. Then there is my own personal upheaval, the one where I am resurrecting the Little Miss Boo to full working order, dusting off the skinny jeans and making myself the image of the woman I feel. It is not easy when everything in life is not running smoothly to battle it out on all fronts. I feel that just as I am getting my workout routine in check, I am invited to a hundred work events, that I have to go to, but which totally disrupt my routine.
Then there is being a woman. In general I try not to be one. Not that I don't love being a woman, and not that I am not feminine… I am. I try not to be too much of a woman in terms of being overemotional, over analytical and reading way too much into every situation. Clearly no-one is perfect, so it is somewhat unrealistic of me to expect that I can be the perfect juxtaposition of male and female in one body, but nevertheless I like to think that I am not the average girl…
…And then once every two months (because as I said I am not the average girl) all the emotions I put away in the 'women only' closet in my brain come gushing out in a wave of hormones, tirades of self pity, awash with salty tears and the inability to stop myself from drowning in my own self-despair. It is exhausting, especially as I know that non of it is me, the rational me. None of the words that are coming out of my mouth are coming from my heart, my heart which is part male and part female, but are coming direct from this strictly pheromonal place that I cannot control! I try to control myself, I should really just put the phone down, switch it off, close myself away in my apartment with a giant X on the door stating "Stay Away for at least 4 days!", but I don't because the stupid man in me thinks he can control the beast, and all men should know that they can never control the woman… not since we threw away the chastity belts and burnt our bras anyway…
My mother calls me and the tears will not stop flowing. I think sometimes my mother reacts to me crying the same way that I react to her being sick… with utter shock. In the case of my mother, it is because while the entire household would be suffering a stomach bug or a flu virus, my mother would always be fit as a fiddle and running around taking care of the sick. In the case of my tears, there is only one thing that makes me cry to my mother, and that has always been my father (well we have always had a nasty way of winding each other up!). So here I am on the phone crying for no reason other than, "I have no idea why I cannot stop crying," when my mother in despair reverts back in time to when she would send me snivelling to school with a dose of 'mother's medicine' inside of me:
Mum: Darling I think you need to take some Magnesium tablets… that will make you feel better
At this I laugh for the first time in 2 days
Me: Oh no Mum, no pill can make me feel better… Only I can do that!
Mum: I am worried about you darling, you are not yourself.
Me: No you are right… I am just getting so much better!
It is a teething period that makes my emotions rock solid stable one moment and the next teetering on the edge of the tight rope, but one thing I know is that I will never fall off, because I have the male and the female to balance me out…. Until I get to the other side.
Meanwhile apologies to all those of you who were on the sore end of my sour mood… I swear you are all safe for at least the next two months… And thanks to those who saw through it all enough to still want to hang out with me… I love you all!

Liquid Green Stuff and How to Use It Easily for Gaps (Tutorial)
Liquid Green Stuff is one of the best technical "paints" (not sure what else to call it), that Games Workshop has produced. In the old days when we had to fill in gaps we would mix up traditional Green Stuff, or whatever your preferred medium was, and smash it into the gaps and then work on blending it into the model.
It wasn't terribly hard if you were working on a tank or something with large flat areas, but if you were working on small, fiddly infantry then it could be a huge pain. For example, these Bloodletters I'm working on I figured would be a great showcase for Liquid Green Stuff and how to use it.
So, I'll walk you through the process of filling in gaps with Liquid Green Stuff.
Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. The commission earned helps maintain this site.
The Models
I personally find the Bloodletter kit to be a bit of a chore. There are a lot of parts for something so simple and despite the fact it's only supposed to go together one way, the fits aren't always perfect. Here's a shot of the five Bloodletters I'm working on.
You can see the infamous gaps where the two parts of the head goes together. On the backside you can see some gaps where the legs join the torso. Try as I might, this always happens to me when building these guys. Enter Liquid Green Stuff to fill in those gaps.
Enter Liquid Green Stuff
First of all the only thing you need beyond the Liquid Green Stuff is a brush. I would recommend an old brush, but one that's not all frayed. You want control but you don't need precision.
Time to Do Some Gap Filling
Make sure you've shaken up the Liquid Green Stuff, and then dip in your brush. You want to load it up and get a glob on the end, but not too much. You can always get more as you need it, but starting off with too much to begin with can be messy. Plus, you will do this process a few times, and build it up instead of getting it nailed the first time; at least in most cases. The idea is to make this seamless and that's far easier by building up thinner layers.
First I glob (super technical term here) the Liquid Green Stuff into the gap. I had to do this a few times to get the gap filled as you see it here.
Smoothing it Out
Once I'm satisfied with that, I then clean off the brush. I wipe off the excess water but don't thoroughly dry it. I want the brush a bit wet for blending in the Liquid Green Stuff. You don't want the brush so wet that water runs off it when blending, just moist.
I blend by placing the brush below the gap I filled and pulling down gently. The brush should glide, and not be so firmly on there that it just removes the Liquid Green Stuff.
I do this all along the gap, and with the wet brush it thins out the Liquid Green Stuff the further from the gap. I then do the same above the gap: wet brush, pull from the gap upwards to thin it out.
Next I clean up the part over the gap since it's a bit globbed on there. I start by pulling the brush towards the gap's high point.
See, the lower half of the head (face), sits a bit higher than the upper half so I want to pull towards that point, and in turn move the excess Liquid Green Stuff into that point. So, I place my wet brush above the gap on the upper half of the head and gently pull down towards the face over the gap.
I then went ahead and did the same on the backside.
Aside: It's worth noting that having a good hobby light helps a lot with this process. When you're dealing with a crack that's maybe a millimeter, it's not easy to tell if you've got enough Liquid Green Stuff in there, or maybe too much. Of course, a good light is something you want in general for this hobby too.
Letting it Dry
I've found the drying time for Liquid Green Stuff to be only about 5 minutes; sometimes less, depending on how thick you're putting it on. For what I am doing here, 5 minutes to dry is plenty.
Once the Liquid Green Stuff dries, it looks like this.
Repeat & Rinse
The first layer isn't bad, but there's still a gap there, so I go back and repeat everything I already did to build up another layer. The Liquid Green Stuff will shrink some when it dries so this is expected.
After that second layer it's close, but not quite done, so I do a third layer.
Much better!
I also had to do three layers on the back until I was happy with it.
On the back I'm less concerned with a perfect smooth transition from torso to the butt. The model is moving and there will be natural crease there from the movement, so I really just want to make sure the gap itself is filled. The head though, there's no reason for that gap I was filling so I wanted a much cleaner transition there.
Priming the Model & Fixing Gaps
Now that I'm happy with the gap filling it's time to prime it. Priming the model is where the real test is. Once everything is a single color you can see how the blending worked out.
Here is the Bloodletter primed. It looks pretty good from this angle.
Then when you look at the side you can see a small gap still. Normally this is something I would be OK with. It's not going to stand out once the model is painted, but for the sake of this tutorial I'll show you what you can do at this point.
As I've been doing, I fill in the gap, smooth it all out and let it dry.
Re-priming the Fix
Since I spray primed the model, I don't want to re-prime the entire thing for this small section. So, I use a brush on primer for the area. I use the GW Imperial Primer, but any brush on primer will do. All I do now is prime over that area and it's done.
Here it is complete.
It's not quite perfect still, and if I were being really picky then I would keep at it. However, like I said, once this guy is all painted up it will look fine. He's one model in a larger unit of really cheap troops. So, I don't plan to spend an hour on it. Still, it's looks way better than when I started.
Pot Drying Out Annoyance
The one big downside to Liquid Green Stuff is that the pot will dry out on your – without fail. It doesn't matter how well I take care of the pot, how tight I close that lid, it always dries out on me. Generally it takes a few months after opening, so be forewarned.
I know it might seem like a lot of work repeating the process over and over. However, once you get good with it then it only really takes around 30 seconds each layer. If you work on a group of models at once, like the unit I showed, then once you get to the last model then first model will be nearly dried, and you can just run down the line again.
Going the traditional method of Green Stuff gap filling would let you get it right in one sitting. However, then you have a longer dry time before you can prime, and usually excess Green Stuff that gets wasted. Both methods have their use, and I find Liquid Green Stuff to be great for small organic things like this.
Liquid Green Stuff is on my list of must-have hobby supplies. You should see what else is on the list. The article covers everything from the things you really need to have, as well as some upgrades for down the road to make hobbying easier. You may find something you hadn't thought of.
I also have a great article on the painting supplies you'll need, seeing as once you got that model prepped it's time to paint it, right? Same idea as the modeling one where it has the basics you need, and also stuff you don't need but is damn nice to have.
I hope you found this useful. I enjoy doing these tutorials so if you have something in mind please let me know.

How to Use Liquid Green Stuff
22 Join the Discussion!
Yeah this stuff is great, I use it all the time. A good tip I have learnt though is to use poly cement to fill the large gaps, which can be scraped or covered over with the green stuff if needed
Nice! Another trick for really fine cracks or partial mold lines is to use gloss varnish in the same way pulling against the raised part to blend it with the rest of the area.
I had been wondering about liquid green stuff so thanks for that. Another one checked off the list.
Also I must try Nafnafs idea of the poly cement. As I have that but not the liquid GS.
Great tutorial Thor. I don't think I've ever not had a shakable liquid greenstuff. It's always showed up at my door as a solid block of dry green stuff.
Mine semi-solidified from lack of use. However, it's still malleable and more like putty than paint. Still works a treat for filling in gaps though.
great article Thor, I really liked the idea of pulling the gs away from the seam to even it all out and doing a second coat after priming. There has been many a model that I've started painting only to realize my gs didn't actually fill the gap
I will definitely be picking some up for my "water nymph" army to smooth out some of my green stuff work! Awesome article
thanks very much! this is helping me work with green stuff right now. :)

If you've ever been (or are currently) the parent of a small child or have a love for cows, this video will definitely hit home. We've all experienced those moments when you know you've caught someone in a lie, then you sit back and watch them try to wiggle out of it. Well, the lie this little girl is trying to clear her name of is a big one. A big brown one. A big, brown, and mooing one.
Try to put yourself in this mom's shoes, and imagine what it would be like to come home one day and see your 5-year-old nestled up to a living, breathing cow inside of your house (well, in this case, the enclosed porch of your house), even if Izzy the cow has been Breanna's pet calf since she was born, as Earth Porm reports. Izzy was rescued by the Decker family after suffering from pneumonia from having been born in a swamp and, since then, she and Breanna have been the best of friends.
If this cow's lovely and friendly nature surprises you, it's possible that you don't know as much as you think about cows. It turns out that cows can be excellent companions, thanks to their social and friendly nature, Think Differently About Sheep explains. In fact, cows show some type of behaviours one would expect from a dog, like displaying an excellent memory that allows them to recognize faces, even after a long time. They "happily follow around people they know are going to give them attention," Care2 adds.
After catching her daughter and cow completely red-handed, Billy Jo Decker does the right thing and gives her daughter Breanna an opportunity to come clean, but that's not exactly what she does. Instead, she comes up with the most lovable yet enigmatic excuses and deft deflections to try to save face.
In the end, Breanna plays the "I'm adorable" card, and snuggles up next to her agricultural accomplice. Mom has no choice but to give in to the absolutely precious interaction between Izzy the cow and Breanna. Watch the video below to find out Breanna's adorable excuses and see cows' loving affection in all its glory.

Many immigrants must obtain his/her lawful permanent residency visa from the United States Consulates and Embassies abroad. This involves working with the Department of State, and coordination between this agency and the Department of Homeland Security is often critical. It is often times a frustrating and time wasting process if you don't know what you are doing. Submitting forms, pertinent information, and documents to the consulate are just a few things that need to be handled. Biometrics, medical examination, and an interview at the consulate are all part of this process.
Our team at FAMILIA AMERICA, LLC., are extremely experienced in this process and have successfully processed immigrant visas in numerous consulate offices and embassies. We also do something very important. Help our clients step by step by scheduling the medical examination, biometrics appointment, and preparing our clients for the interview, and what to bring to the interview.
Before you depart the United States, it is imperative that your immigration attorney had knowledge of your entire immigration and criminal history to assure that all the waivers have been processed or to let you know what to expect in the event that you need to file a waiver after the consulate interview.
This is where we shine. Making our clients and their family members feel secure in this often times stressful process. We are a silent partner in your process, making it easier for you, and answering all your questions, no matter how small.

Handmade Huge Quartz And Red Tigers Eye Crystal Statement Necklace (one of a kind)
This enchanting handmade statement necklace features a huge quartz point which I handpicked for its unique beauty. This quartz has dozens of ghostly inclusions which have a script-like look. Each turn of this magical piece reveals a whole new world of phantom like inclusions and shapes. This huge quartz measures 3 inches long and the entire necklace hangs at 16 inches when clasped. It can be shortened to your desired length by clasping it between beads.
The top of this stunning crystal has been molded with textured porcelain clay which has been hand painted with an antique distressed gold giving the piece a timeless and antique look. The crystal is suspended from frosted semi-matte red tigers eye beads. Tigers eye is a wonderful stone for motivation and balance. It is a passionate yet grounding stone connected to the root chakra, making it a wonderful balancing stone to the quartz.
This powerful quartz was charged under the winter solstice moon. It has a strong, warrior-like, protective energy.
All of my pendants ship beautifully presented in jewelry boxes, making them perfect for gifting as well. This is a handmade art jewelry piece and is not suited for showering or submerging in water.

The Food Safety Modernization Act Helps in the Creation and Improvement of HACCP Programs
In light of the most recent global food safety issues around the globe, it seems that the FDA is finally catching up to the USDA. That is, at least in terms of requirements for food manufacturers and processors. Through the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011, the FDA will now begin to require many of the industries that it oversees to utilize a HACCP based program with a twist. Seafood and juice manufacturers have been required to follow the HACCP guidelines for several years, now other industries will be subject to these rules. But, the FDA has taken the best of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) program and made it better.
The important point of such programs is to have a "systematic approach to food safety that attempts to minimize the risk of pathogens, allergens or other contaminants." Fortunately, many organizations already follow these types of programs and have procedures in place due to customer demand from grocery retailers and/or restaurants. Many of these facilities will need to make changes to their current plans to better align with the FDA's program, but most will be able to easily implement these upgrades.
According to the FDA, there are two major improvements. This includes:
- Implementation of hazard analysis and risk-based controls
- Revisions to the current Good Manufacturing Procedures (cGMP).
The first, the required implementation of hazard analysis and risk-based controls focuses on ensuring facilities understand where the potential risks are with their processes and creating preventative controls designed to eliminate or reduce potential risks for foodborne pathogens. As consumers, we are in need of a more modern food safety system that we can rely on to prevent illness from occurring, not simply reacting when something goes wrong. The new regulation will require organizations to have a plan that includes the following:
- Hazard Analysis
- Preventative Controls
- Monitoring
- Corrective Actions
- Verification
- Record Keeping
For those of you familiar with food safety management systems, you will recognize many of the common elements. The other element calls for revisions of the cGMPs to clarify that certain existing cGMP provisions that require protection against contamination of food also require protection against cross-contact of food by allergens. With the globalization in the market place, we must have these types of controls in place to ensure the safety of everyone. These regulations seem to take a more global approach to food safety and recognize that an increasing amount of the food and/or the ingredients in the food we put on the tables in America comes from outside the borders of the United States. This fact alone demands that we have stricter laws and regulations in place to protect our population.

The Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies serves as the intellectual cornerstone of Marywood's Mission and Core Values. Each discipline approaches life's ultimate questions using its own disciplinary methods and sources. The department is dedicated to fostering thoughtful, reflective, and just habits of mind in students. Both areas of study offer introductory courses and diverse arrays of elective options that support the Core Requirements for all Marywood Bachelor's degrees. In addition, students can pursue the BA in Religious Studies or the BA in Philosophy.
Philosophy, using the tools of logically rigorous and honest inquiry, addresses contemporary and age-old questions such as: What is the nature of reality? What is knowledge, and how do I know what I think I know? What are the arguments for and against the existence of God? How do I make ethically sound decisions? What responsibilities do we have to future generations? What constitutes a morally worthwhile life? Can morality be challenged? Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? Does animal suffering matter less than human suffering? Could there be minds without bodies? Can a computer be conscious? The Department's greatest strength is our faculty, all of whom have advanced degrees, are dedicated to being excellent teachers and mentors to our students, and model a life of joyful service to others. We expect students to engage with assignments that are aimed at developing their reading, writing, thinking, and speaking skills, so that they may serve as innovators and leaders in their civic lives as well as in their chosen careers. We celebrate diversity, personal responsibility, and civility, and strive to produce graduates with a desire for life-long learning in their communities and on the global stage.
Religious Studies
Religious Studies uses academic methods to critically explore the religious dimension of life addressing questions such as: What are the worldviews, practices and ethical ideals of the world's religions? How do religious understandings of the nature of reality and knowledge affect a person's action in the world? How do race, gender, and class help us understand historical and contemporary embodiments of religion? What are the skills needed for interfaith dialogue, including dialogue with various forms of non-belief? Because of Marywood's religious affiliation, special attention is given to the academic understanding of the Catholic tradition's historical and contemporary approaches to these questions. Questions such as these and many more are addressed in an atmosphere of open and respectful dialogue in Religious Studies courses.

Matt Leinart to the Raiders?!?
Rumors and speculation have run through the NFL that Matt Leinart would be working out for the Oakland Raiders, but up until now it was only a rumor. The Oakland Raiders have officially signed the former USC quarterback as a backup to starting quarterback, Carson Palmer. Leinart was a 2006 pick for the Arizona Cardinals and has yet to live up to the hype he received after leaving USC. After he was cut from the Cardinals he was signed to a one-year deal by the Houston Texans where he was the back up to starter Matt Schuab. Details of Leinart's contract have yet to be released.

As Coachella 2017 prepares to open its doors and provide another desert getaway for festival-ready music lovers, the clamour for second-hand tickets is high after passes sold out in less than three hours.
One man, a divorced 56-year-old going by the name of Gordon, placed a Craigslist advert in January 2017 looking to capitalise on this desperation in incredibly uncomfortable fashion.
The former Supervising Manager at Soup Plantation in West Corvina, California, offered a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to attend the festival with a VIP weekend 1 pass, all-expenses paid, by accompanying him as a "travel companion" in his Breaking Bad style RV.
Acts playing that weekend, starting Friday (14 April), include Radiohead, The XX and Lady Gaga. The latter replaced Beyonce as headliner following her pregnancy.
The catch? Gordon, or "Gordie" as he prefers to be known, will be enforcing 20 strict – and very concerning – ground rules for potential applicants, all of whom must be female and between the ages of 19-25.
The handpicked music fan would stay with Gordon in the Tropics Motor Motel in Idio "Thursday through Monday".
If this premise has not rung alarm bells already, the poster, who admitted to having "just left" his job, divorcing his wife of 11 years and cashing out $401,000 to make life "about having fun," requested that the the companion be "open-minded and opportunistic".
The requirements in the post, since removed, continued to get more controlling.
The winner needed to have a "cute indian headband" and "ripped jean shorts", while painting her finger and toenails accordingly. A playlist of Coachella artists was also deemed preferable for the ride over, for which Gordon would provide "beef jerky and peanut butter sandwiches".
But, in return, "periodic hand-holding" would be expected — particularly during sensual songs. "Excessive fraternising with other male festival-goers", would result in swift termination of the deal.
The scenario then takes a sinister sexual undertone. Hands must be "kept moisturised" at all times amid "periodic moments of extended eye contact" while "any personal grooming, such as toenail clipping, eyebrow plucking or lipstick application" needed to be done in his presence.
Gordon also encouraged the potential attendee to let him brush their hair, insist they call him naughty "at least twice" and say "I didn't know how this would go, but I'm actually having a nice time".
It is not known if the post was removed for safety reasons, or because Gordie had the offer accepted.
Gordon's 20 demands (as originally posted):
1. Must be female between the ages of 19 and 25
2. Must be comfortable traveling in a Recreational Vehicle (Vintage Shasta Chinook 3100 – pic attached).
3. Must have fashionable sense of style in the vein of typical coachella goer (i.e. cute indian headband, small ripped jean shorts, lots of colorful bracelets, etc).
4. Preferably have a playlist of various Coachella artists on phone we can listen to on ride over.
5. Must keep hands and feet moisturized at all times.
6. Must be open-minded and opportunistic.
7. Must be ok with periodic hand-holding (perhaps during certain sensual songs and while walking into the festival initially).
8. Fingernails and Toenails must be nicely painted and harmonious with general color scheme of outfit.
9. I will provide snacks such as beef jerky and peanut butter sandwiches but if you have additional snacks and/or drinks...BIG BONUS!
10. Being social is fine but no excessive fraternizing with other male festival-goers, and most definitely NO PUBLIC AFFECTION with other festival-goers (violation of this rule results in immediate removal of Tropic Motor Motel room privileges and maybe even return ride).
11. Periodic moments of extended eye contact.
12. Allow me to brush your hair once per day (not mandatory, but encouraged).
13. Must not be into drugs, pot ok.
14. Must take a minimum of four photos of us together and post them to your Instigram account.
15. Any personal grooming such as toenail clipping, eyebrow plucking or lipstick application must be done in my presence.
16. At least once during festival, you must allow me to carry you on my shoulders so you can see stage better (perfect time for instigram photo!)
17. At least twice during the festival you must tell me in a playful manner that "I am naughty".
18. At some point in time during the festival you must tell me that "you didn't know how this would go, but you're actually having a really good time".
19. At least once during our stay after your shower, you must use the steam to write a cute message on the bathroom mirror for me to find later when I shower.
20. Must be ready to party and HAVE FUN!

The Long Road Home: A Story of War and Family by Martha Raddatz

An administrator's privileges are scoped by the organization to which the administrator authenticates.
The vCloud API defines two levels of administrative privilege:
Organization administrators, who have administrative privileges in a specific organization.
System administrators, who have superuser privileges throughout the system. System administrators are members of the System organization, and can create, read, update, and delete all objects in a cloud. They have organization administrator rights in all organizations in a cloud, and can operate directly on vSphere resources to create and modify provider VDCs, external networks, network pools, and similar system-level objects.
Some administrative operations, and all vSphere platform operations, are restricted to the system administrator. Before you attempt these operations, log in to the System organization with the user name and password of the system administrator account that was created when vCloud Director was installed. For example, if the system administrator's user name and password was defined as administrator and Pa55w0rd, the system administrator login credentials are the MIME Base64 encoding of the string administrator@System:Pa55w0rd.
When logging in using a SAML identity provider, the system administrator must use the vSphere SSO Service as the identity provider. See Create a Login Session Using a SAML Identity Provider.
The System organization is created automatically when vCloud Director is installed. Unlike the organizations represented by Org and AdminOrg objects, the System organization cannot contain catalogs, VDCs, groups, or users who are not system administrators.
When a system administrator logs in to the REST API, the OrgList in the returned Session element contains a link to the System organization.
<OrgList ... > ... <Org type="application/vnd.vmware.admin.systemOrganization+xml" name="System" href="https://vcloud.example.com/api/admin/org/123"/> ... </OrgList>

Let's explore both topics by responding to the following questions.

Not the best dining experience. Booking was made over a week in advance but no table ready on arrival (restaurant was not full but staff had to clear and clean a table while we waited). Waiting staff took a while to visit table to take drinks order whilst we browsed menus and then took a long time to return to take food order. The waiting continued for food to arrive eventually reaching our table 50 minutes after time booked. When food arrived one dish was only partly warm so had to return it (may have sat in counter whilst other dishes being prepared?). Staff changed dish but took another 10 mins to arrive (told would be 5 mins ( so unsure of why a 50 min delay in receiving initial order?!). Meal was ok but not special and second round of drinks took a time to order as no waiting staff visible. Although the restaurant was not busy it seemed as though there were insufficient waiting staff to cope and only one chef on duty who appeared unable to schedule meals. Disappointing performance by all concerned from arrival to departure.
