Continuing the new French things (#frenchthings) feature is my standby favorite, light yet nourishing Caudalie serum.
All French girls go to the pharmacie to do their beauty shopping, and that's where you can find this classic, no-frills French brand. Caudalie uses ingredients derived from grapeseed oil and grapes from its own vineyards.
This glow anti-wrinkle serum from the Vine Activ line is the one I most frequently run out of because I use it daily! It's light enough for layering and doesn't feel sticky on my skin. It's full of vitamins and grapeseed extracts and does something to protect against pollution (too scientific for me to understand), which is definitely necessary living in the city.
My other favorites include the eye cream and the 3-in-1 moisturizer from the same Vine Activ line and the Instant Detox Mask (you have probably seen me use it on Instagram!).
If you haven't tried Caudalie products before, they are running a great promo right now with a 3-Piece gift (which includes the detox mask above!).
{p.s} I only ever feature my true favorite products that have been tried and tested. Still, FYI: if you buy something through my links, I may earn an affiliate commission.

Not familiar with printing and offers almost too much for what I am simply trying to to do. I have "passport" size photo that I have cropped and corrected (the image) to required correct size (45mm x 35mm) within IDI. I just want to print multiple copies of the same photo on a single page at the actual (true) size I have sized it to without adjusting in Print function.I have managed to do this now but have had to create a "print slot" that matches exactly the same size and then apply it to the photo (which is already the same size).
- Can I just ask IDI to print multiple copes of the same photo at the actual photo size and keep exact size and proportions?
- When sizing in printing I can only size in inches where as I can size in metric to correct in editing the photos. Can I change to metric measurement in Print?

White Sugar Land teen sues UT over admissions rule
White teen sues UT over admissions policy
Sugar Land student, in top of class, challenges racial preferences
An 18-year-old Sugar Land student sued the University of Texas at Austin on Monday, challenging the school's use of racial preferences in its admissions policy.
Abigail Noel Fisher, a senior at Stephen F. Austin High School in Sugar Land, was named in the lawsuit filed on her behalf by the Project on Fair Representation.
Project director Edward Blum, an activist against race preferences in Houston before he moved to Washington, D.C., said Fisher, who is white, will graduate in the top 12 percent of her class next month but learned in late March that she was not accepted at UT-Austin.
The lawsuit doesn't challenge the top 10 percent law, which guarantees admission to those who finish in the top 10 percent of a Texas high school's graduating class. Instead, it contends that UT-Austin unlawfully uses racial and ethnic criteria to select other students.
Blum and Fisher's lawyer, Bert W. Rein, said Fisher did not want to talk to reporters.
"She's still in high school," said Rein, who practices in Washington. "She isn't looking to become a national symbol. She just wants to go to the University of Texas."
Patti Ohlendorf, vice president for legal affairs at UT-Austin, noted in a statement that "every year, we ... receive applications from thousands of very able high school seniors, but as with many universities around the country, we are limited in the number of applicants we can admit."
She said the university believes its admissions policies comply with U.S. Supreme Court guidelines.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Austin, and by mid-afternoon, Blum said he had heard from several other students who wanted to join as plaintiffs. His organization has a Web site, www.utnotfair.org, to draw interested students.
The top 10 percent law was adopted after a 1996 court ruling stopped Texas colleges and universities from considering race and ethnicity in deciding admissions; UT-Austin's minority enrollment is higher now than at any time since the law passed.
A 2003 Supreme Court ruling said colleges and universities may consider race and ethnicity in order to create a diverse student population only if race-neutral methods haven't worked.
Blum argues that the top 10 percent law has worked, making it illegal to use race-conscious considerations for students who do not graduate within the top 10 percent of their class.
Ohlendorf didn't address that specifically but said: "we believe that our undergraduate admissions policies are ... in compliance with Supreme Court precedent and all other applicable law."
Fisher, meanwhile, will soon have to decide her future, perhaps before the case is settled.
UT-Austin has 20 days to respond. The lawsuit asks that she be re-evaluated by UT-Austin in a "race-neutral" manner and admitted if she qualifies. It also asks that the school be stopped from using race-conscious criteria for students who fall outside the top 10 percent law.
Fisher, who plays cello in her high school orchestra, has been accepted at Louisiana State University and Baylor University, according to the lawsuit. But accepting one of those schools, or a spot at another UT system campus, would require a deposit that wouldn't be refunded if she were later accepted at UT-Austin, Rein said.

Geothermal Heat Pumps – Westchester County and New York City
Why are more and more homeowners in Westchester County and New York City turning to geothermal heating and cooling systems? Switching to geothermal offers many benefits, including higher comfort levels and lower utility bills.
At A. Borrelli, we work with you to come up with a system that makes sense for your budget and needs. Call us today to learn more about whether a geothermal heat pump is right for you.
Geothermal Energy Savings
Geothermal heating and cooling systems are the safest, cleanest, most reliable comfort systems you can invest in. According to the EPA, geothermal heating and cooling systems are the most eco-friendly alternatives to traditional HVAC systems. Installing a geothermal HVAC system pays off quickly in energy savings. Geothermal heat pumps can be over twice as efficient as air-source heat pumps during cold weather.
How it works
Even though the temperature in the air changes frequently, the temperature underground remains relatively constant. Geothermal heat pumps use that to their advantage. They can pump underground heat into buildings, heating your home with a fraction of the energy needed by an air-based system. During the summer, the heat pumps can reverse that process and pump the heat from your home back into the ground, cooling your building.
Another advantage of geothermal heat pumps is that they can generate hot water while they heat or cool your home. In the summer, your home can have hot water for almost no cost. In the winter, geothermal HVAC systems can slash hot water energy bills by up to 50%.
Installing your geothermal system
Geothermal heat pumps can be installed inside or underground. Investing in a renewable like a geothermal system from A. Borrelli has many benefits. It can cut your heating and air conditioning bills up to 70%*, and help save the Earth at the same time. The initial installation cost for a geothermal system may seem expensive. However, over time, a geothermal system can produce significant savings.
You can also receive a 30% federal tax credit, with no cap, for any geothermal installation. This tax credit significantly reduces the installation cost. In addition to federal tax credits, many local governments and utility companies are offering rebates and tax incentives that will only add to your savings.
By harnessing the power of nature to provide a building's heating and cooling needs, investing in a Geothermal Heat Pump system from A.Borrelli Mechanical will give you the benefits of the most comfortable, reliable and cost efficient heating, cooling, and water heating system available on the market today.
*According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, geothermal systems save homeowners 30-70 percent in heating costs, and 20-50 percent in cooling costs, compared to conventional systems. (Source)

'SuperLatina' Gaby Natale has made her American dream come true
Gaby Natale wasn't counting on winning.
The effervescent TV personality — host and executive producer of SuperLatina, a talk show that airs on Vme-TV, the Spanish-language sister network to PBS — had been nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards.
So there she was on the first day in May, walking the red carpet outside the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, rubbing elbows with giants of the genre: Larry King, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the women of The View and dozens of soap opera stars.
In Natale's two categories, Outstanding Entertainment Program in Spanish and Outstanding Daytime Talent in a Spanish Language Program, she was competing against heavy hitters from CNN en Español and Univision. SuperLatina delivers programming of comparable quality to the big boys, but it does so with a smaller budget, a smaller staff, a smaller set — a smaller everything.
And it's based in Fort Worth. Natale's production headquarters, her cartoonishly pink set and her offshoot marketing business, are hidden in plain sight, located within a honeycomb of offices at La Gran Plaza shopping center on the south side of the city.
Hers was the only independently produced show nominated in either Emmy category. She was the underdog in every way.
So with no expectations of bringing home any hardware, Natale simply savored the moment. She mingled on the red carpet, posed for a photo with Larry King, took a selfie with Sesame Street's Elmo.
But then, as soon as everyone moved inside for the awards presentation, the vibe changed. There were little hints, subtle signs, that the stars might align for her on this night.
And before she knew it, presenter Teresa Castillo of General Hospital had torn open the envelope for "Outstanding Entertainment Program in Spanish" and was uttering those immortal words:
"And the Emmy goes to …"
Ambition, for a woman, is not something that should be penalized. Latinas should own their own voice. You should never be afraid to express yourself or to pursue your dreams.
Gaby Natale
A decade earlier, SuperLatina was just starting to find its footing.
Natale and her husband, Andres "Andy" Suarez, had moved away from their native Argentina in 2003. She quickly established her bona fides as a journalist by working as a reporter for TV Azteca in Mexico (2004) and as a news anchor for Univision in Texas (2004-2007).
She ultimately grew restless, however, because she had little creative freedom.
"The stories I was pitching to my news director were not resonating with him," she recalls. "It doesn't mean he was wrong or right. He just had different priorities. But for me, it was frustrating."
She had spotted an opening within the television marketplace. There was an underserved audience of Hispanic women. They needed a show that catered to their interests and their needs.
There's an old saying that rankles Natale every time she hears it.
"It's used a lot in the Hispanic community," she says. "In Spanish, the saying goes, 'Calladita te ves mas bonita,' which means, 'When you're silent, you're prettier.' I think that's a horrible message.
"Ambition, for a woman, is not something that should be penalized. Latinas should own their own voice. You should never be afraid to express yourself or to pursue your dreams."
Natale's message to Hispanic female viewers would be one of empowerment and self-confidence.
As soon as Natale earned her green card in 2007 ("I had to apply three times — it was a long, long process"), she quit the Univision job, got a $20,000 business loan and started her own company. That's when she and Suarez developed the interview-and-lifestyle show that would come to be known as SuperLatina.
"A SuperLatina is a woman who fights, a woman who stands up for herself," Natale says. "The SuperLatina is the best part of you."
A SuperLatina is a woman who fights, a woman who stands up for herself. The
Gaby Natale
For a brief time, the show's working title was From Woman to Woman. "Which is a very lame name," Natale concedes. "Once we came up with the name SuperLatina, we knew we had something."
SuperLatina went on the air in 2007, originally in only one small television market: Midland-Odessa. Her headquarters were located in an Odessa shopping mall. The warehouse space that became SuperLatina's studio also was being used to store carpeting. "When we built our set," she says, "the only condition was that all of the set pieces had to have wheels on them, because they would need to push everything to the side whenever the carpets had to come and go."
Defying long odds — most such programs quickly disappear without being anything more than a blip on the pop-culture radar — Natale's upbeat programming started to connect with viewers. She moved the operation to the Dallas-Fort Worth area in 2009 after SuperLatina expanded into syndication in Lubbock and then throughout New Mexico.
In July 2014, less than a year after Natale became a U.S. citizen, SuperLatina went national on Vme-TV, the once-a-week show suddenly available in 43 media markets serving more than 70 million viewers.
In 2011, she branched out by starting AGANAR Media, a content development firm that specializes in developing TV shows and viral video campaigns, with a focus on Hispanic audiences. Clients have included industry giants such as Ford Motor Co., MetroPCS, McDonald's and Proctor & Gamble.
In July 2014, less than a year after Natale became a U.S. citizen, SuperLatina went national on Vme-TV, the once-a-week show suddenly available in 43 media markets serving more than 70 million viewers. It currently airs at 3 p.m. Saturdays. Meanwhile, the show built a huge internet following, garnering more than 55 million views on YouTube.
"I met the president of the Television Academy at the Emmys," Natale says. "He said, 'They told me your story about starting your show in a carpet warehouse in Odessa, Texas. Very interesting.' I said, 'I guess you might call it a nontraditional way of making television.' And he smiled at me and said, 'No, I wouldn't call it nontraditional. I would call it an innovative way of making television.'"
You're never too old, you're never too fat, too ugly, too gay or too undocumented to make your dreams come true!
Gaby Natale in her Emmy Award acceptance speech
The first indication that the Emmys might be a special night came when Natale and the others in her party found their table inside. It was much closer to the stage than they had anticipated. Maybe this was a good sign, they agreed.
"Then the ceremony started," Natale says. "At about the same time that Mario Lopez, the host, walked onstage, a producer came over to us and said, 'You guys are from SuperLatina, right? Your category comes up in eight more awards, so pay attention and don't go anywhere, just in case.'"
Just in case?
"I promised him, 'Even if I have to go the ladies' room, no matter how bad it gets, I will hold it.'"
A few minutes later, after winners in two more categories were announced, a second producer and a cameraman approached the table to position a camera in front of the upstart nominee. "I said, 'Oh, I understand. You want the shot of the gracious loser face, right? OK, I can do that. I can play along.'"
But there would be no loser face on this night.
And even though Natale did not expect to win, she had a just-in-case winner's speech handy. She's no fool. "I didn't want to be the dumb person who goes up onstage and doesn't know what to say," she explains. "Even though the odds were against me, I still had to be prepared."
Every time she had rehearsed her speech, in which she dedicated the victory "to the dreamers, to the rebels, to the ones who wake up every day and do not allow anyone to define their capabilities," she would start to cry. But in delivering those lines when it counted, she was loud and proud and did not break.
Natale closed by declaring, "You're never too old, you're never too fat, too ugly, too gay or too undocumented to make your dreams come true!"
Natale will get to vote in her first presidential election as a U.S. citizen in November. She is taking that right, that privilege, to heart. She's also urging others to be politically active.
She has become a passionate member of and spokesperson for Voto Latino, a national get-the-vote-out organization that encourages members of the Hispanic community to make their voices heard.
"I remember when I first arrived in the United States in 2003," Natale says. "People were talking about Latinos and the elections and they were calling us 'sleeping giants.' Like, 'Oh, one day they're going to wake up.' Well, this giant is not sleeping anymore. We have become part of the national dialogue.
"The Hispanic community is growing, and there is so much opportunity for us to help shape the identity of this country and make a stronger, more inclusive democracy. But there is still work to be done."
Natale and her husband chose to leave Argentina first and foremost because of work opportunities in the U.S. that didn't exist for her in her country. One of her first jobs in the States was with a Washington, D..C., public relations and TV production company catering to Latin American and U.S. Latino clients.
"Where I lived in Argentina, there was, like, 24 percent unemployment — and probably worse for recent graduates," Natale recalls. "I would go on job interviews and the news director would say, 'Yes, you're very qualified, but I'm laying off half of my staff today.'
"There was nothing for me going on in Argentina. So coming here made sense. Finally I would get to work in the field that I had chosen, the field that I trained for."
The longer she lived in the U.S., however, the more it became about more than just work. She fell in love with the country.
She has embraced Fort Worth, as well. It's worth noting that the SuperLatina studio set no longer has wheels, an indication that she and the show might be in North Texas to stay. "I'm not saying that I would never, ever, ever move, because in my life I have moved so many times," Natale says. "I lived in Argentina, in London, in Washington, in Mexico and now in Texas. But there's something special here. I travel across the whole country for interviews. But every time the plane lands at DFW, it's such a comforting feeling. That's when I'm like, 'Ah, I'm home.'"
This giant is not sleeping anymore. We have become part of the national dialogue. The Hispanic community is growing, and there is so much opportunity for us to help shape the identity of this country and make a stronger, more inclusive democracy. But there is still work to be done.
Gaby Natale
Even as a child growing up in Argentina, Gaby Natale had a charismatic personality.
"When I graduated kindergarten, there was a ceremony where we were all on a stage and they gave us diplomas," she remembers. "It was very orderly, one diploma after another. It went fast. But when they handed me my diploma, I don't know why, but in my little kindergarten mind, I associated being on a stage and people clapping with theater and the way that actors say thank you. So I took a bow, a big one.
"The principal said, 'I think she is going to be onstage one day. She is kind of liking this.'"
Natale didn't realize that journalism and television were the life for her until many years later.
"I come from a family of lawyers," she says. "All I knew was I didn't want any part of that. After high school, I looked at a list of careers. There was journalism, public relations, international relations, etc., and I decided, 'I like to travel. How about international relations?' But what did I know? I was 17."
She earned a bachelor's degree in international relations from Universidad de San Andres in Buenos Aires in 2000. But during her third year, as an exchange student in London, she fell in love with the idea of becoming a documentary filmmaker, so she followed up with a master's in journalism.
She loves what she does today with every fiber of her being.
"How many careers are going to allow you to be at the White House in Washington, at a morgue in Mexico, at the border reporting on immigration and to be interviewing all kinds of incredible people?"
When SuperLatina went national, the focus of the show shifted from celebrity-driven "hot topics" toward more long-form interviews.
"The long-form interview is a rare breed in today's fast-paced television," Suarez, her husband, says. "But it is a perfect match for Gaby's skills as an interviewer."
Typical guests have included such Latino personalities as Carlos Santana, Enrique Iglesias, Don Omar, Prince Royce and Eugenio Derbez. One of her favorite non-Latino interviews, meanwhile, was with author Deepak Chopra. The alternative medicine guru is a personal hero of hers; she has read all of his books.
Natale also seeks out non-celebrity interviews in which people discuss overcoming adversity. It's an important theme with her. "We talk to people about their roads to success," she says. "What are the challenges that they faced? Sometimes you would never imagine the obstacles they had to overcome."
Triumphing over long odds is something that Natale knows a great deal about. That's why it's fitting she named her company AGANAR.
The Spanish phrase "a ganar," after all, means "to win."
"Gaby serves as an amazing role model and a leading example of the tenacity and dedication of our Hispanic community," says Ralph Parkman, Vme's vice president of marketing.
We went from a making television in carpet warehouse in Odessa, Texas, to being on the red carpet at the Daytime Emmys. If that isn't the American Dream come true, I don't know what is.
Gaby Natale
After she finished her crowd-pleasing acceptance speech, Natale and her husband went backstage for interviews with the press and to collect her engraved Emmy.
"Not many people know this, but the statue they give you onstage is not the one that you're going to keep," Natale says. "And everyone who handles your statue while they're getting it ready wears gloves, so that the first fingerprints on the statue are those of the winner. That's nice, isn't it?"
All things considered, the evening couldn't have gone any better.
"Am I really here?" she remembers thinking. "Somebody pinch me. I must be dreaming."
But then, as she was walking to the press room, another producer stopped her and said, "There's still the other category coming up. You need to stay close to the stage, just in case." And the next thing they knew, they heard Castillo, the same presenter, announcing, "And the Emmy goes to …" and Natale had won again, this time in the talent category.
That meant SuperLatina had earned the distinction of being the first independently produced show in Spanish ever to win a Daytime Emmy — and it did it twice. This Little Show That Could was one of just four programs that night to win multiple awards. Perhaps you've heard of the others: General Hospital (five awards), The Bold and the Beautiful (two) and Days of Our Lives (two).
Natale didn't have a second speech readily available. She hadn't thought that far ahead. So she improvised this time. "Hello, this is your friend Gaby again!" she began.
Then she hoisted an Emmy statuette in each hand. These same hands, remember, had been covered in pink paint 10 years earlier after the do-it-yourself paint job of the original SuperLatina set pieces.
"We went from making television in a carpet warehouse in Odessa, Texas, to being on the red carpet at the Daytime Emmys," she says. "If that isn't the American dream come true, I don't know what is."

What's going on please. This has only happened since 4 on a machine where nothing else has changed for 18 months. Updating 10.12.6 from 10.12.4 and new drivers has not worked. I have work to get out and I can't press a damn button.
LV on prevents any sort of viewport navigation. Can't pan, can't move around, because C4D is only responsive for 0.01 seconds every 3 seconds. Pause the LV (if you can manage to press the pause button in that 0.1second) then magically the viewport becomes super fluid and response, can pan all over, tons of geo, no problems. LV back on... can't click anything, C4D too slow, LV just keeps trying to refresh refresh, it's like LV is sucking up all system resources, but looking at stats, on an 8core C4D is 100% of 1 core and memory is fine.
I'm pretty frustrated now.

Is it core that's the problem? If so why?

Reducing risk: Best Practice Perimeter Security
It only takes one attack to damage an organisation. Physical perimeter security measures are often the first line of defence against a malicious attack because it protects infrastructure, people and assets and ensures business continuity. It reduces vulnerabilities and the fallout from careless behaviour and gives criminals fewer opportunities to exploit weaknesses.
Heras, one of the leading perimeter security specialists, believes that, in order to provide the best chance against attack, organisations must take a holistic approach to perimeter security. Its 4D+C methodology combines demarcation, deterrence, detection, delay and controlled access, which form a reliable layered protection solution to ensure effective and seamless perimeter protection strategies.
Firstly, demarcation defines the boundary of a location where a protective barrier or fence should be installed, which helps deter potential attackers. A security-rated fence combined with appropriate signing offers an ideal deterrence. Combining the watchful eyes of trained security professionals with technology, like a Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS), is the best way to detect suspicious behaviour at the perimeter. While no barrier or fence is impenetrable, solutions must be built to maximise the time it takes to breach the perimeter, delaying attack before and after detection has taken place. Controlled access is vital to ensure entry is gained only by authorised people.
While every organisation has their individual security requirements and their physical security installations may differ, the 4D+C methodology remains true across industry sectors. From those requiring high security solutions such as utilities, critical national infrastructure (CNI) and governments, to those looking for commercial solutions such as transportation, manufacturing and industry.
High Security Solutions
Some organisations need top security measures because they either face greater risk of attack or they house top secret or operationally sensitive information or people such as high security areas within power stations, research centres, oil and gas terminals, military, government and utility sites. This means their perimeter security solutions must be of the highest standards and offer the best possible protection against attack. An example of a high security perimeter protection solution would comprise:
- High security fencing, such as Heras Zenith SR3. This is a welded triple skin mesh fence creating a secure demarcation and deterrent. The mesh 358 is tightly configured ensuring there are no toe or finger holds. Security toppings such as barbed wire can be added to further reduce risk of attack, vandalism and forced entry.
- A premier intrusion detection solution (PIDS) such as Heras-owned Geoquip Cyber Assurance of Physical Security System (CAPSS) - the first and only PIDS on the market to have received CPNI approval - to identify unauthorised personnel crossing a perimeter and protecting IP security systems from cyber attack at the perimeter. The detection technology is integrated with the organisation's overall security management system so that control room staff can be notified in real time of any potential intruder. The system could also be incorporated with other perimeter protection products such as cameras or access control systems, limiting the ability to hack the entrance.
- High security bi-fold gate such as Heras sGate, designed to provide highly reliable and safe entrance control as well as fast and continuous operation and flow. The gate opens and closes in a matter of seconds, providing quick, controlled entry, and locks securely to prevent unauthorised vehicle or pedestrian access. It seamlessly integrates with other perimeter security solutions.
Commercial Security Solutions
Manufacturer, logistic centre and retailer risk assessments require slightly less comprehensive perimeter protection because they generally are less at risk of sophisticated attack and have fewer high value assets on site. These organisations could consider a commercial security solution that includes:
- Welded mesh fencing system such as Heras Pallas Xtra, a rigid and robust Secured by Design fence that combines specialist security fixings to create an extremely secure demarcation and deterrent.
- A premier intrusion detection solution (PIDS), such a that includes a sound system, alarm light, for example, to detect unauthorised access. Such a PIDS system operates in zones so that if there is an attack, the control room knows exactly where it is for faster response from either police or security teams
- Rugged and reliable turnstile allowing pedestrian access control. The turnstile grants entry to one person at a time, allowing for a safe and regulated yet high frequency flow of people and a programmable control unit interfaces to most access control systems.
Heras will be demonstrating both a high security solution and a commercial security solution at the International Security Expo 2018 on the 28th and 29th November at London Olympia, stand number C50. See these solutions in action and be the first to learn about Heras' new product line that will be announced at the show.
Heras is an expert in perimeter protection and preserving business and so knows how to make security a top priority. Since its inception in 1952, Heras has helped a range of businesses around the world create a safe environment for their customers, suppliers, partners and employees.

World Social Forum: Days One and Two3
January 29, 2009 by Jason Brown
January 27, 2009
Today we arrived at the World Social Forum. After a quick flight from São Paulo I arrived in Belém flying over the Guamá River. It was beautiful to see the Amazon after a lifetime of imagining it, reading about it, and seeing it burn in national geographic articles. After all this time the quilt of images and impressions came together into a clear image.
A fellow student and I arrived at the airport and met a friend of a friend who had agreed to let us crash at their apartment for the duration of the forum. The city was sweltering, and I felt a pang of nostalgia from the aesthetic Latin American cities: block style houses, winding narrow streets and hand painted signage.
About 100,000 people participated in the opening ceremony and march. They poured down the mango-lined central avenue of Belém in droves doing battle with crossing traffic as taxis and motorists squeezed through the apparently detour-less march route. The street was filled from side walk to side walk with people: young, old, anarchists, nuns, hippies, clowns, puppets, communists, street-wide banners, fluttering flags, drums, and indigenous people in traditional dress and paint jogging in unison with bows, arrow and spears.
The Left in Brazil is represented by a pretty wide range of neo-Maoist, communist, socialist, and social democratic parties. In 2002 a coalition of left parties helped to elect The Workers' Party candidate Luis Inácio Lula da Silva to the astonishment of everyone including the United States. Lula grew up in a slum shining shoes, and later became a labor organizer. The win marked a victory against the puppet neo-liberal governments that had dominated Latin American until fairly recently.
The theme of this year's World Social Forum is Pan-Amazonia, and the forum will boast over 2 thousand indigenous people mostly from the Amazon basin, but also including representatives from the Andes and Central American Maya peoples. After joining the march for the last mile or so, the masses dispersed into a large plaza near the center of town. There was a stage erected and a slew of presenters gave rousing speeches, sang traditional Indian songs, and performed dances. The indigenous speakers touched on various themes: land rights, compensation for stolen natural resources, access health care, and the importance of the forests and their continued protection.
It was interesting to see such a diversity of people at the march. There were men and women of all ages and nationalities. There were also Christian groups and nuns marching. Earlier in the day I had seen a Mormon mission president, his wife and the A.P.'s at the airport waiting for a new batch of missionaries. I was saddened by the fact that I didn't see them at the march. The idea is silly I'm sure, but why not? Why didn't the entire mission show up? How is it that Catholics and Protestants can believe in the same God as us and reach such different conclusions regarding theological priorities? I guess that the people I saw were minorities in their traditions as well. The night ended with a dinner on the river in the cool tropical air with a lightning storm in the distance. It was completely surreal.
January 28, 2009
Today was officially titled Pan-Amazon Day. The gathering has attracted over 100,000 people, with over 2 thousand indigenous people participating. On our first day of attendance we took the city bus to the Federal University of Para (UFPA) where the day's events were to take place. We started out sort of exploring the campus which had been totally taken over by the conference. There were art exhibits, tents designated for Brazilian workers rights organizations, tourist kitsch, tropical fruit stands, food stalls, and three stages with all day cultural and political presentations. The three stages were divided between cultural identity, regional integration, the criminalization of social movements, climate change, deforestation and a few other presentations. We got there a little late, but just in time to hear the English translation of an indigenous tribes manifesto. What was most striking about most of the indigenous presentations I heard today and yesterday was their frequent mention of environmental protection. Many political economy theorists assume that environmental protection is the luxury of an industrial economy. Countries can only afford to protect the environment when they are rich enough to do so. But the indigenous people that were represented at the World Social Forum by economic measures are the poorest people in the hemisphere; yet because they depend on their environments for their sustenance and their cosmologies are for the most part biocentric, protecting the environment is not a luxury but an ethical and practical necessity. After a few presentations and a couple of awestruck moments on the shore of the Guamá River, a tributary of the Amazon, we headed to the first session. We made it just in time to awkwardly introduce ourselves in Portuguese at an agroforestry and permaculture presentation. It was pretty tough to understand the rapid fluent Portuguese spoken by 90% of the attendants, but I got most of the overarching issues…I think. The facilitator of the session was careful to keep the meeting as egalitarian as possible, sitting on the floor, and asking for input for the agenda. This style had its disadvantages when ten people would start to argue about the finer points of a definition, but overall the session was a good introduction to Brazilian agroforestry and permaculture activism and I made some good contacts.
The second session that we wanted to attend was on the WWF's conservation work with indigenous people. It was cancelled, and I began to believe the rumors I had been told about the WSF. Luckily we made it to anther session on a similar topic. The room was sweltering but not packed to capacity like most of the other session rooms. I even managed to snag a chair after an older man left. The session featured representatives from Conservation International, a few Brazilian anthropologists, and representatives from the Kayapó Indian tribe, who live on the Xingú River, southwest of Belém. For those of you not familiar with the Kayapó, let me just say that to me they are like anthropological celebrities. I have read all sorts of wonderful stuff on them, especiallya their sophisticated agroforestry systems that include ants as pest control. I love the documentary about them which shows how they are dealing with pressure from Brazilian miners on the reserve lands. The film also features the Kayapó using video cameras and televisions to record and preserve their dances. True to the Kayapó spirit, one man, with full head dress and body paint, whipped out his cell phone and cordially left the room to chat. The other, gave a power point presentation on the participatory mapping that the tribe has done to manage fisheries, hunting grounds, and monitor invasions on their lands. Conservation International has been working with the tribe in order to facilitate biodiversity conservation on tribal lands by providing them with tools they need to monitor and manage biodiversity. One slide showed a striking image of the extend to which surrounding lands have been deforested, with a massive green splotch representing the 11 million hectare Kayapó reserve. The presentation also took advantage of the time to brain storm on an Indigenous Reserves Conservation Network.
Overall it was a good day; we skipped the third and final session out of exhaustion and fatigue. We also wanted to make sure we caught the right bus back to the place we are staying before it got dark. Although it was a little frustrating that everything was so spread out and overlapping, it was a inspiring to see people discussing important issues, making declarations, organizing future events, and sharing resources. It truly was a forum for the exchange of ideas.

Seven million Brits give cleaning their teeth the brush off, according to new statistics released by the British Dental Health Foundation for Smile Month.
One in five forget to floss and 25 per cent cough all over people and don't bother washing their hands after going to the loo. The nation's attitude to oral hygiene is as sloppy as it was two years ago with 15 per cent not brushing their teeth for more than two days; 28 per cent for 24 hours. Poor oral hygiene causes staining, which tooth whitening in London can fix. More worryingly, it can result in tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss.
Brushing before you hit the sack removes food and drink deposits that have accumulated throughout the day. Flossing removes food lodged between your teeth close to the gum lines, which is crucial in the prevention of gum disease. If you've been a bit lax with your oral hygiene, take this as a wake up call. As a general rule of thumb, you should be visiting the dentist and the hygienist every six months, brushing twice daily for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste, flossing once a day and cutting down on sugary foods and drinks. If your smile is still letting you down in spite of your new found commitment to oral hygiene, then think about having teeth whitening in London to wipe away the last traces of your former slovenly self. Your smile will look the picture of health in no time at all.

How to Manage a Successful Restaurant
Owning a restaurant is not as fun as it sounds. It is hard work and long hours with a huge amount of pressure and stress. There is no time for a social life and many a time spent fighting with staff members that do not arrive on shift.
Equipment always breaks down, there are always angry customers and people sending food back. Staff that do not pay attention and lots of wastages.
It is very important to know what you are doing and as the owner, YOU MUST ALWAYS BE THERE!
To own a restaurant, you have got to have passion for the industry and know that for it to work, you have got to put in the hours.
This is a guide to making your restaurant successful, to ensure that you can eliminate stress and it will help you to understand "Restaurant Business" so that you can eventually sit back and watch your business grow.
Location, Location, Location!
People always say that finding the right location for your business is vital! I think that it helps especially when you are a new business and you need passing trade but a well run business can survive on "word of mouth."
It doesn't matter where your business is situated as long as it has good service, great food and is worth finding. The most important thing to remember is that the owner must always be present!
Start up Costs
When you have established what type of business you are going to open, shopping around for the cheapest prices is a necessity.
Décor could land up costing you double if you do not have a budget or a limit. You should ensure that you have at least three months rental ahead of you, (excluding the deposit and first months rental) three months staff salaries and three months stock.
Have a limit to what you are going to spend on décor, menu's and uniforms.
Anti Fatigue Mats
You know what type of restaurant you are going to be now and it is time to sit down and design your store. Don't overspend on the décor but décor could bring customers as a beautiful and eyecatching design will get people talking and if they are comfortable there, they will return.
Avoid making your store cold and unfriendly. White is clinical and in China it symbolises death, so do not open a Chinese restaurant and paint it white!
Colours that attract people are:
Red - excitement, strength, passion and speed but using that on it's own would mean danger.
Blue - trust, reliablility, belonging and cool. ( The most popular colour)
Green - nature, fresh, cool, growth, abundance and calm.
Purple - royal, spiritual, dignity
Pink - soft, sweet, nurture and security
Black - elegant, seductive, mystery, sophistication (sexual nature) best blended with other colours.
Gold - expensive, prestige, elite
Silver - cold, scientific, prestige ( for cold countries)
Brown - dark wood is always good for warmth and comfort but if you want people to eat and go than this colour will keep them there. (Good for a pub or bar)
Make sure that when you design your store that you do not have the cashier or reception desk in the very front of the doorway. This stops people from wanting to come in.
An arch way or two palm trees at the entrance will attract customers to your store.
Carpets get dirty very quickly and if you choose to put carpets into a restaurant than be prepared to spend on carpet cleaner on a regular basis as one spec of dirt will give your restaurant the perception of dirt.
Select low maintenance colours and materials that are easy to clean and will last for a long time.
When selecting cutlery and crockery, ensure that it's not flimsy as breakages happen all the time!
This is the hub of your restaurant, if it is not set up correctly than your kitchen will not run properly!
The layout of your kitchen is very important in order to be efficient it must be practical.
Invest in a dishwasher and ensure that when you buy one there is a company that can service it for you. Keep it clean and make sure that your staff know hot to use it properly.
A glass washer is an added expense but it will save you on broken glasses.
Your grill, flat top, ovens, stoves should be almost new as second hand equipment always breaks down.
Fridges and walk in freezers should be big enough for you to move in as this has to be cleaned often and be prepared to have it serviced too.
If you are investing in an industrial microwave than you are wasting your money as no microwave is good enough to last in a restaurant, so my suggestion would be to avoid it completely but for a quick cheat in a rush hour it comes in handy.
Divide your kitchen into sections so that each section has a different thing to prepare and a hot pass is where everything comes together to be quality checked and sent out by your waiters.
Separate your scullery from the kitchen prep area and have enough space to make collecting cutlery and crockery easy and accessible.
Always have a separate entry and exit door for your staff to leave the kitchen to avoid accidents.
Kitchen walls and floors should be easy to wipe tiles and in the scullery area a suggestion would be to add rubber mats that will avoid water spreading through the kitchen causing hazardous falls!
A good tip for your kitchen staff is to get antifatigue mats that they can stand on for hours without feeling it!
Front of House
This is where customers receive their first impression and first impressions count. Your restaurant must be set up with good lighting, it must look clean and welcoming.
Chairs and tables should be set up with half a metre distance in-between them. If it's cramped and people are bumping chairs than your customers will feel uncomfortable and want to complain.
Avoid situating a table at the very entrance and if you have to than hide it with a plant.
Don't put tables and chairs under a staircase and if you do have one make sure that they have non slip rubbers on them to avoid people slipping off. Also rather put a couch under a staircase because eating there will automatically put people off their food.
Bar/ Barrista
Everyone can see what is happening here so this must be made with darkish tiles to avoid people spotting every little speck of dirt.
If you are buying a coffee machine, get one new one and a second hand one for back up as they always break down! You must be prepared to have it serviced often and ensure that you and your staff know how to clean it.
Dark counters are a good idea as spillages happen all the time and this area is on display. Make sure that you have a practical plan for waiters to collect their products.
Bakery or cake section
Cake fridges are high maintenance and must also be serviced often, so bare that in mind when buying one. Don't get a second hand one!
If you sell ice - cream than invest in an ice- cream machine to keep your costs low. This too has to be serviced and it must be cleaned correctly or it will not work for long.
Underbar fridges should be spacious enough to keep only what you use on a regular basis. Avoid storing too much as it will encourage theft and wastage.
If you have picture frames and lighting that hangs from the ceiling than remember that it should be cleaned daily as dust attracts to these items.
Chairs should be comfortable in a restaurant in order for people to stay and order more. If you are opening a coffee shop than don't get comfy chairs because you will need to turn tables quicker than a sit down restaurant in order to make a profit, which means that you need people to eat, drink and leave.
Wooden chairs with a cushion are suitable for a coffee shop but comfort is better left for a restaurant that needs to have a high spend per head.
When designing your menu don't forget to choose colours that attract the eye! Once you have decided what type of restaurant you are than keep your menu simple and don't have too many options for customers to select.
Having chicken, fish, steak, pasta, burgers and all sorts on your menu will make your food costs very high and the aim of a restaurant to survive is to keep your food costs low.
A simple plan is to make sure that if you are a chicken restaurant than don't put pasta on your menu!
A steakhouse can get costly because prices increase and decrease all the time. A good idea is to ensure that you have your own butchery, cutting your own meat and using as much of it as you can.
Spend time searching for quality products and the cheapest. Your menu prices should cover the cost of your stock, platting, labour and profit.
Have a special or a speciality on your menu and beverage options should also be kept simple unless you are opening a bar.
The menu must be clear and easy to read. If you are giving the ingredients than ensure you always have those ingredients in your kitchen.
Keep the menu's clean and the prices bold.
If you have a kids menu a good idea is to highlight the lowest costing item so that kids will be attracted to pointing it out on the menu.
A Great Restaurant
As a customer would you choose ambience over service?
Never stop searching for the lowest prices! Even a good supplier can increase their prices and that effects your bottom line.
Portion your stock and invest in a scale!!!! Your kitchen manager should ensure that everything is portioned and it is the correct weight in order for your food cost to be kept low.
Prevent wastages and if you can re- use something than do it (I do not mean if something has been half eaten or dropped onto the floor) If you have made the incorrect order, than re- use.
Breakages are also something that you need to prevent and put into place a system to avoid your staff breaking anything.
Rotate your stock- use labels with dates on them and use FIFO ( first in, first out) system.
Put your new stock at the back of your fridges and the old stock in the front.
Don't over order- order only what you need and you will know how to do this by checking your sales on the system. You will be able to see what product sells the most and what doesn't sell at all. Your system, if used correctly will tell you how many items you have sold and if you follow the pattern you will know exactly how much to order.
Stock Control - A stock count should be done at the beginning of a shift and at the end. This will keep your management up to speed with when stock is most vulnerable and it will also prevent staff from stealing.
Bar stock is difficult as even with a digitot system, there can be theft. Alcohol can be diluted and to avoid this from happening, you need camera's in place. Again, use your system to see how much you have sold in a day.
Breakages need to be avoided and strict measures should be put into place for staff.
Have incentives for staff to sell a low cost item on your menu and make sure that if you do not have a fast turn around time that your staff are good at suggestive selling.
Your food cost could be 35% if you record and re-use wastages, portion your stock and keep your menu small and limited with strict stock control in place!
Labour costs can get high and a suggestion would be to keep it small. When paying staff remember that good salaries attract professional people and poor salaries attract poor staff.
Calculating a Food Cost
Invest in camera's to keep control of your store and staff.
A good computer system is a must and when getting one; it must be able to calculate stock, it must be user friendly, check that it cannot be cheated by your staff or management and get one that has a good back up service because these too break all the time!
Appoint one person to do credit cards to prevent fraud and cloning and allow only management to do discounts or promotions.
A fingerprint system is the best option.
Your staff could make or break your business!!!
Hire correctly and train them well.
Staff should be friendly, efficient, energetic and they should have passion for the industry or they will hate coming to work.
All your staff should know the menu and be trained in all aspects of the business. Waiters should know how to greet customers and make them feel comfortable. They should know how to upsell items on the menu and learn suggestive selling. They should be aware of timing and look neat and tidy at all times. Waiters should work as a team on the floor and acknowledge other waiters tables should there be a need.
Hosts are important because customers do not want to be left standing around waiting to be seated and a host is a good idea to greet customers and then seat them at a table with a menu.
They should also know the menu and if customers are waiting for service than the host should be able to step in.
Runners for food and drink should be used when you are busy because CUSTOMERS CAN'T WAIT!
Cleaners should be there permanently to make sure that the floors are clean and the restaurant looks respectable but all your staff should be trained to clean as they go.
Management should know how to do every job in your store because if you have a day where the staff do not arrive for work than your management team should be able to run your business as usual.
Finding management to suit your restaurant is not a hard task if you are willing to pay good salaries. They will be there for the long term if they have a future with you.
Ensure that they have experience in the industry and training is required for your business so that they know how you want it to work.
Ideally you should have two front of house managers and two back of house managers working on opposite shifts, a general manager and on one or two supervisors.
The general manager should be able to communicate with customers and get feedback from them. This person should be interested in making a profit for your business and must have training to motivate staff and should know what is going on in every inch of your restaurant at all times. This person is there when you are not and should be trustworthy enough to be left to run your business for you. So when hiring staff take your time and find the right people because it is vital to have the correct people in place for your business to run successfully.
Marketing is important to promote your business and you should know when your busy times are and when you need to promote your restaurant. You do not have to hire marketing people in order to do this because all it takes is an attractive special to bring people in when its not busy and advertise a new menu item when you feel that people are getting bored. These are things that you have to be aware of in order to market your business.
Stay on top of things, keep focused on what is selling and what doesn't, who works well for you, get constant feedback from your customers and ensure that all your staff have your bottom line at heart.
Be prepared to make your restaurant your new home. The owner should be there running it for the first two years before you even think of hiring someone to run it for you. Keep your overheads low and shop around continuously for cheaper prices. Don't keep bad staff and monitor their performance regularly.
If the owner is always there communicating with the customers and the food is consistently good, the service is always great and the restaurant runs smoothly than customers will keep on returning and they will tell others of their great experience which will help your business grow.
Customers like to feel important and they do not mind paying if it is worth it. The experience on the whole should be one for them to talk about in a good way not bad and your restaurant should be the place to be seen!
These are certainly great tip. But I think PR should be included in everyone's approach to opening a trendy restaurant. With some many people opening an closing restaurants on a daily basis, you need to go out there are promote your restaurant so people know it is there.
Here are a few PR tips which every restaurant can benefit from before and after they open: http://www.prmybusiness.co.uk/public-relations-for...
A very good guide :)

Meet the team: Kent
Ever wonder what the RedBrick team is really like? To us, it's important to get to know the members of your community on more than just a first-name basis. We want to build strong, meaningful relationships with those we work and live with, and to us, that starts with a conversation. So, we sat down and decided to explain a little bit about who we are as people, and more than just a job title. Ready to meet the team? We can't wait to meet you, too.
Meet Kent:
Hey there, I'm Kent Small. I'm the project and construction manager here at RedBrick. Basically, it's my job to take a project from the idea stage and turn it into something that's constructible. How do I make that happen? I work through something called the design phase, which is where I work with consultants to get the project through permitting and approvals until we are able to create something that is affordable and buildable. The construction management side of my job is taking that design, implementing it and building it on site. It's at this stage where I work with the client, suppliers and trades to make sure the project is exactly how everyone envisioned it by the time of completion.
I love my job, I really do. My favourite part is getting to see projects from when they're an idea on a piece of paper and watching them grow up until the final stage of a fully operational unit. Back when I was a consultant, I didn't get to experience being a part of the entire process. In consulting, you're involved in the design phase but you're usually only involved for a portion of it. You get the site development process in place and then you don't see anything until the building is complete, so you miss out on watching the project grow. I'm really fortunate to be able to become a part of that whole process now, because actually getting to see something being created from start to finish and getting to impact how it turns out is really cool.
I love being able to work with new talent and innovative people within my field, so I'm really looking forward to getting the opportunity to grow a construction and project management team with RedBrick. New ideas and points of view are what keep RedBrick constantly moving forward, so it'll be very exciting to bring new people onboard who share those same values. For me, getting to be a part of RedBrick's growth is going to be one of the most interesting parts of the next couple years. I'm also very excited to watch the vision of some of our larger projects reach completion and see everything we've all been working so hard for finally become a reality. Some of these projects have been quite a long journey, so it'll be great to watch that journey come full circle and allow these projects to start a new journey as a functional unit.
Something you might not know about me is even when I'm not working, I'm probably still working. I still actively farm up in Grande Prairie, so I spend a lot of my vacation time doing farm work instead of kicking back and relaxing. It's an opportunity for me to decompress and get away from the computer, so I really enjoy it. Farming is a part of who I am, it always has been, so it's not something I can or would ever want to let go of. I really enjoy getting back to my roots.
Looking into RedBrick's future, I'm excited to see where the next few years will take us. We've spent the last two years trying to get to a point where we can grow as a company and it's been a bit of a grind, but I think now we're at a point where that's starting to happen. I'm looking forward to helping the team grow, constantly keeping our projects innovative and beginning new and interesting projects. It's only going to keep getting better around here, and I'm very thankful to be a part of this process.
That's all for now, chat again soon.
All the best,
Want to learn more about Kent, or any of the other RedBrick team members? Keep up to date with the team by following us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @redbrickdevelop.
Psst! We want to learn more about you, too! For more information about us, business inquiries or to get to know your neighbourhood developers, please reach out to us anytime at 780.628.4226.

MANDEVILLE, LA (WGNO) — About 150 people spent their lunch hour on Monday at a rally to show support for President Donald Trump.
The rally was held at the Tammany Trace Kids Town Pavillion on Koop Drive and was organized by the GatorPAC group which is led by retired Col. Rob Maness who is a favorite among Tea Party fans and previously ran unsuccessfully to replace David Vitter in the U. S. Senate.
Maness was joined on the stage by two other conservative political pundits in St. Tammany Parish, Jeff Crouere and Mike Church.
Church told the crowd about a side of President Trump that he felt they may not have been familiar with, Trump's charity work years before he ran for president. Church spoke mostly about a segment of a Maury Povich Show episode which can be seen at the online website Youtube.
A major purpose of the rally was to counter protests around the country that are critical of the Trump administration. Other protestors are taking aim at the president and his policies at the town hall meetings of members of congress.
Last week in Metairie, Senator Bill Cassidy was confronted by hundreds of protestors during a town hall meeting. The crowd challenged the senator on his stance — and the president's — on issues like the Affordable Care Act, immigration, and the appointment of Betsy DeVos to be education secretary. The crowd inside the meeting was at capacity so hundreds more protestors waited outside with their signs.

The Mandeville group also wanted to show its support for the president's plans to secure the border, fight terrorism, and seat a cabinet.
During his time on stage, Crouere called on the crowd to boycott the movies of celebrities who speak out against Mr. Trump as well as news organizations that are perceived by some as being biased against the administration.
Maness is planning a series of the Louisiana Spirit of America rallies. The next will be in Monroe on March 3.

BA's Best Carbonara
The sauce is bright yellow from fresh eggs, and each bucatini hides cubes of fatty guanciale. This yolk-heavy recipe is beyond creamy—without cream!—with black peppercorns. It's unlike any clumpy carbonaras you've had. The tricks? Omitting most of the egg whites; their water thins the sauce. It's a pasta worth mastering.
