Small Business
Christchurch business owners unlucky enough to be caught in the cordoned-off red zone will know their Business Interruption (BI) insurance policies like the backs of their hands.
For most business owners in other parts of the country, your BI policy may well be treated the same way as other insurance policies - collected out of a dusty filing cabinet and read for the first time after damage is caused. The Canterbury earthquakes have however been a telling lesson that your BI policy needs to be well understood at the time you entered into it.
Generally BI policies are linked to material damage insurance policies. They require physical damage to your property which causes an interruption and a loss to your business. BI should provide you with peace of mind against lost profit, lost rental or increased costs that you could incur when your business tries to get back on its feet.
However, the particular wording of the BI policy is of the utmost importance - you need to know exactly what is, and what is not, covered. In the real world it's easier said than done to wade through over 20 pages of small type when you're busy, but our Christchurch experience has shown it's crucial. For example, will you be covered if access to your business is disrupted because of a government- imposed cordon, not because of physical damage? Will you be covered while your property damage is being repaired? Will you be able to recover if all of your clients' businesses shut down? And will you be covered for multiple events?
These questions need to be understood so you know what risks you are actually insured for. Having a good insurance broker certainly helps as they specialise in obtaining the right type of cover for their clients and advocating for those clients when it comes time to make a claim. There's also a place for lawyers and accountants as advisers to ensure you understand whether your BI policy will actually cover you and to put forward a well- presented claim when needed.
Other BI issues that have come out of recent disasters such as the Canterbury earthquakes, North Island volcanic eruptions of a few years ago, and floods at the top of the South Island are indemnity periods and depopulation.
The indemnity period is the time period for which BI policy will endure. It's often 12 months in New Zealand. If, say, your business continued to trade immediately after an insured event in the expectation that you could claim when you later shut down for needed repairs, you may be in for a shock. The indemnity period will usually start from the date of the damage, not from when you closed down at a later time, even if that's necessary or repairs take far longer than anticipated to get started.
Exactly what you may recover from your BI insurance is also an issue for many. Policies often exclude the effects of a drop in client base due to clients leaving the area after a disaster. This is known as depopulation and insurers will often argue its effects are not covered. This is not always the case and, again, the wording of your policy is important here.
Overall, the most important pitfall of BI insurance is not taking the time to read and fully understand the policy or to seek further advice on it. At the end of the day your insurance is intended to give peace of mind against financial risk. The danger is if you let ignorance be bliss.

Going against the grain! From aging elephants to playful lion cubs, spectacular sand sculptures capture animal world in amazing detail
Forget those holiday sandcastles you spend hours building, you're never likely to match these works of art, created by British globetrotter Paul Hoggard and his Dutch wife Remy.
The sand artists have toured the world - from China, to Kuwait and Denmark - creating their massive monuments, which display surprisingly intricate detail.
Their most impressive figures include a mass elephant graveyard - complete with skulls and tusks - and the Biblical battle between David and Goliath.
Amazing detail: The spectacular sculpture of this elephant shows every wrinkle in its skin
Unforgettable: This spectacular elephant graveyard was sculpted by British artist Paul Hoggard and his wife Remy
Dark matter: Not all the themes of the couples' works of art are uplifting, pictures here is the elephant graveyard they created together
The talented couple travel the globe making their impressive constructions for festivals, competitions and advertising campaigns.
Paul, originally from Beverly, Yorkshire, said: 'We love our work - we get to create huge sculptures out of sand and water together, travel, meet new people and experience other cultures.
'Our art takes us all over the world - in the last year we have worked in Greece, Holland, Kuwait, Iran, Bahrain, Denmark, South Korea and France.'
Globetrotters: The Hoggards say they're art has taken them all over the world, from Greece, Holland and Kuwait, to Iran, Bahrain, Denmark, South Korea and France
Branching out: The couple of have created works of art all over the world, but say the elephant graveyard (right) was their most complicated piece
Fantastical: The couple love creating both real and mythical animals in their sculptures
Paul, 49, and Remy, 43, have been sculpting since 1991 and 1999 respectively and both compete in solo and doubles competitions together.
The pair, who now split their time between Holland and Bulgaria, only use wet sand and - in extreme circumstances - wooden frames to complete their creations.
Their work spans from a 10-tonne mermaid - they describe as 'small' - to a series of 15 giants that weight a whopping 40 tonnes.
Roaring success: Brit Paul and his Dutch wife Remy compete in both singles and doubles competitions for sand sculpting
Sandtastic: The amazing detail involved in the varied sculptures puts holiday attempt at building sandcastle to shame
Family favourites: Some of the adorable scenes the pair create weight up to 40 tonnes
Long hours: It took Remy nine days to create the David v Goliath statue in Denmark
One of the giants, built to depict the biblical story of David v Goliath, took Remy nine days to complete on her own as part of the a sand sculpture festival in Aarhus, Denmark.
Historical figures play a big role in the sandy ideas as another sculpture shows Hannibal sat atop a mighty 50ton elephant as they cross the Alps.
They are labours of love as the area has to first be piled into a rough shape, and then sufficiently wetted before the intricate detail can be applied by using either their hands or the backs of shovels.

All Ages
usical conversations with Kati Agócs, Marcos Balter, Yu-Hui Chang, Glenn Kotche, Dohee Lee and Ken Ueno
Six rising composers from around the country come together at 92YTribeca to help launch Meet The Composer Studio, a new website that provides a virtual window into their creative lives. Through live performances, video clips and conversation, the composers will preview their latest projects, which will also be chronicled on the site. The resulting pieces will be unveiled in Apr 2011 at MTC's Three-City Dash, a one-time festival spotlighting composers from a trio of locales.
Chicago is represented by Glenn Kotche, the inventive and searching drummer of Wilco and Marcos Balter, who creates compelling tapestries of pure sound. True to the city's image, Boston's Kati Agócs and Yu-Hui Chang create music that is both brainy and deeply expressive. The Bay Area's experimental vibe comes through in Dohee Lee's shamanistic performance art and Ken Ueno's startling vocal techniques. All names to watch, these artists epitomize the vibrant diversity of today's new music scene.
Meet the Composer Studio is a new way for open-eared listeners to become part of this scene. Rub elbows with composers, observe the creative process, support new creations: this Studio is always open and there's no velvet rope.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.

Prediction: Premier League / Aston Villa V Manchester City
English Premier League -- Match Time:3/5/2013 04:00 Tuesday
Aston Villa V Manchester City Head to Head | Statistics| Odds
Aston Villa are in the relegation zone in 18th position with just 24 points from 27 matches. They are just goal difference off safety in a very tight fight at the bottom of the table. They have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 games which while not terrible, isn't good enough to lift them clear of the teams around them.
Manchester City are 2nd in the EPL with 56 points from 27 matches which leaves them 12 points behind leaders Manchester United. They are 5 points clear of 3rd placed Tottenham so 2nd place looks like their final position unless they go on a very poor run. 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last 5 matches is the not the type of form needed from Champions and they will deservedly lose out on the title this season.
Villa are in a real threat of going down and must make something happen soon if they are going to survive. After this match they have games against the bottom 2 back to back and they must target 6 points from them to push them clear of Wigan.
As you would expect City are strong favourites for this match and their performance last week against Chelsea was them back to near their best. With YaYa Toure back from the AFCON the team has looked much improved. They have struggled away from home recently but I'll be backing them to bounce back now they have a full squad to choose from.
Prediction: Manchester City Win

Pulsatile Tinnitus Cured
Tinnitus is the medical term for a condition of the auditory system in which there is a perception of sound when there is no external sound present. I had tinnitus for two years – and it was SHEER HEAVEN when it stopped – not to have incessant ringing in my ears. But according to a new study, the most effective treatment for Morrell's tinnitus may involve just the opposite of what she's currently doing: Rather than ignoring the sound, focus on it. Tinnitus may be intermittent, continuous, or pulsatile (synchronous with the heartbeat). Hire only professionally trained persons who can help you with the relief of tinnitus symptoms.
I had to discontinue use of tablets and a nasal spray to unblock the nose (prescribed by my doctor to improve the tinnitus !). As far as I am aware, asthma medication contains similar substances and might therefore cause problems in this respect as well. As tinnitus is often the result of cellular damage to the ear, replenishing those cells is often the focus of treatment. Nevertheless, the problem of tinnitus is curable and a few dietary and lifestyle changes along with a little awareness regarding some self-care tips and home remedies may go long way in providing relief and cure tinnitus holistically.
Some people find that having the radio or television on provides enough background noise to mask the sound of tinnitus. There are, however, excellent tools to help patients manage their condition; treatments that reduce the perceived intensity, omnipresence, and burden of tinnitus. For example, we had a user report indicating that immediately following a session of Notched Sound Therapy, his tinnitus volume would temporarily increase, however, he still experienced a net decrease in his baseline tinnitus volume, resulting in an overall decrease in tinnitus volume.
Severe tinnitus can cause major adjustment problems for it's sufferers – it can worsen concentration, inhibit sleeping patterns and affect personal relationships. If your tinnitus is due to circulatory problems, Gingko is likely to help, otherwise it will merely improve your memory. Basically tinnitus is an old auditory disorder in which a patient hears various noises like ringing or buzzing instead of an external source. Suffers of tinnitus are encouraged to speak about their condition to their audiologist.
Commercial noise generators – various types of electronic devices which produce different forms of masking sounds to provide relief from tinnitus. By guiding a person's subconscious mind to process the sounds like it does everyday background noise, hypnosis for tinnitus can make the sounds seem less threatening. Staff at specialist tinnitus clinics can give you information about tinnitus, and help you develop a strategy to manage it more effectively.
If, in your opinion, they have the credentials to treat or help you manage their tinnitus, then ask them how effective their treatments have been in managing or mitigating the effects of tinnitus in their patients. This is because hearing sounds that you would not otherwise be able to hear may help override the tinnitus noise. I also get a lot of ideas as to how I can improve Tinnitus Miracle (TM) from the men and women that I counsel.
Biogetica's approach of taking care of the factors contributing to tinnitus has helped many customers get rid of or reduce the ringing in their ears. If an herb contains an active ingredient that might be effective in treating tinnitus (or any condition) it should be identified, purified, and studied. If you believe your tinnitus is related to hearing loss, see an audiologist who can help to select and fit a hearing aid that is right for you (to amplify the tones that you need to hear more clearly). This type of tinnitus occurs because jaw muscles and a muscle in the middle ear are closely connected.
My grandfather had tinnitus for many years, he was told to put drops of fresh mothers milk (breast milk) into the ringing ears for several days… it worked within a week and never recurred. All these adverse reactions only press the need for a holistic, side-effect free, and a lasting solution for Tinnitus. Tinnitus can also be caused by an acoustic neuroma (a tumour on the auditory nerve).
Kundalini yoga is one important yoga practice that is often prescribed for treating tinnitus. Any other Tinnitus related symptoms they had such as mild to moderate hearing loss, pain in the ear, dizziness or the feeling of fullness in the ear were completely eliminated. Over all 7/10 for temporary relief at the moment, spurred me to actually try read more into this technique and tinnitus in general.
If you can only hear the noise when you are in one place, it may be coming from an external source, whereas if you can hear it all the time, you may have tinnitus. Pulsatile tinnitus is usually vascular in nature, and there is a chance that it can be cured, or helped, if a cause is identified. This study was designed to investigate the role of zinc administration in treatment of tinnitus. This suggests that damage to the inner ear is the trigger for the development of tinnitus. It can also be a combination of sounds, and for many, the sound of their tinnitus actually changes.
Acupuncture has mostly not been demonstrated to be efficacious as a treatment for tinnitus on the evidence of rigorous randomized controlled trials. This website is the culmination of almost 10 years of getting better from tinnitus for hundreds of people. As you seek professional help ask them to tell you in detail their training in tinnitus management. Additionally, chiropractor Dr. James Fettig recommends taking CoQ10 to relieve tinnitus symptoms. Using state-of-the-art MRI scanners to peer deep inside the brains of tinnitus patients, Cheung and his team have managed to pinpoint an important source of the phantom noise.
Anticonvulsant medications such as clonazepam and gabapentin have been shown to reduce the loudness and annoyance of tinnitus in some people. Biogetica's integrative approach towards reclaiming your health and freedom represents the convergence of Allopathic medicine, Yogic Sciences, Quantum Physics, modern Bio-energetic and ancient natural healing systems such as Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Shamanism and Homeopathy. Black cohosh also helps in curing anxiety , nervousness associated with tinnitus. However most report a slight improvement in their tinnitus with a variable duration.
Rauschecker believes that many understand tinnitus backwards, assuming a causal relationship between the tinnitus and the behavioral problems so common among patients with the condition, as if tinnitus was the cause, and the depression, anxiety and insomnia, the effect. If your tinnitus is caused by damage to the inner ear, you will most likely be told to learn to live with it." Thomas Coleman, author of Tinnitus Miracle , was told the same thing by his doctor.
Some people with tinnitus (39%) say that the sound of the tinnitus competes with or masks things they are trying to hear. In most cases, when individuals utilize the Tinnitus Reduction Program as part of a multi-modality approach to tinnitus reduction they experience long term improvement. To determine the effects of coenzyme Q10 for 16 week period on the antioxidative status and tinnitus expression in patients with chronic tinnitus aurium.
Drugs that increase GABA activity in the brain, therefore, would be a plausible treatment for tinnitus. I suffered from Tinnitus for several years until it reached the stage where it was difficult to go to sleep. Through various medications and lifestyle alterations, Kevin normally does not hear any tinnitus and when he does it is in the 10-20 dB level. However, tinnitus symptoms can materialise in a variety of noises and sensations. Built-up earwax can harden and block the ear canal – leading to hearing loss, irritation and tinnitus. But through concerted effort, he says, his reaction to the tinnitus has softened.
One of the most difficult causes of tinnitus to diagnose is a vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma) which is a small tumor pressing on the vestibular nerve leading from the cochlea to the brain. However, one day a cure might be found and to support that, it's necessary to take different perspectives into account. Tinnitus masker – is an electronic device somewhat like a hearing aid which produces noise to help mask the tinnitus. The doctor's function was less to cure than to prevent one falling ill in the first place. A decrease of more than 1 point in subjective tinnitus scoring was accepted as valid.
Tinnitus is almost always accompanied by imbalances in the energy meridians of the body which are not yet addressed by western medicine systems. Gingko biloba has been proven to alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus and reduce hearing loss due to its ability to improve circulation. There are two general types of tinnitus, in first type the afflicted are only those who can only hear the weird sound which is known as subjective tinnitus. Tinnitus instrument – a combined hearing aid and masker for people who have both a hearing loss and tinnitus.
From the possible causes , conventional treatments and surgery to his 5 Step System of beating the condition naturally and safely. The treatment may include medication for any medical condition, adjustment to current medication, or an explanation of the condition and its relation to tinnitus. Ginger: Ginger is a multi-talented vegetable which extends its therapeutic attributes in healing a range of ailments including tinnitus Healing qualities of ginger attributes to its ability to stimulate the circulation of blood, fight pathogens and exert antioxidative defense towards oxygen free radicals. Middle ear tinnitus originates in the cavity behind your eardrum (less common).
Help maintain the natural mechanisms which activate the protective processes of the coronary circulation, improving the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. Some audiologists run specialist tinnitus clinics to help you manage your tinnitus and they fit hearing aids and/or therapeutic noise generators if needed. It hasn't touched my tinnitus yet – but it just started a month ago and I have not been consistent in my supplement intake. I had been listening for approximately 100 hours when I suddenly became aware that the Tinnitus whistle had stopped – I wasn't sure WHEN it stopped – but it had.
In any case, the herb Ginkgo which is claimed to be effective for tinnitus is ineffective according to the best available evidence. The researchers said that this suggests that tinnitus may be initiated by brain activity rather than by the ear. A decrease in tinnitus loudness by at least 10 dB was accepted as clinically favorable progress. I have been experiencing tinnitus for 3 or 4 months now and I have been taking ACV daily for 5 years!

JERUSALEM (MCT) — A simple, ancient ritual is threatening the delicate security balance atop Jerusalem's most sacred plaza: Jews are praying.
On most days, dozens — sometimes hundreds — of Jewish worshippers ascend to the disputed 36-acre platform that Muslims venerate as Al Aqsa mosque and Jews revere as the Temple Mount with an Israeli police escort to protect them and a Muslim security guard to monitor their movements.
Then, they recite a quick prayer, sometimes quietly to themselves, other times out loud.
Jewish activists call the prayers harmless acts of faith. Police and Muslim officials see them as dangerous provocations, especially given the deep religious sensitivities of the site and its history of violence. Twelve years ago, the presence of Jews on the plaza was so controversial that a brief tour by Israeli politician Ariel Sharon helped trigger a Palestinian uprising that lasted more than four years.
But today Jewish worshippers are commonplace, coming in greater numbers than at any time since Israel's founding and perhaps, some scholars say, as far back as half a millennium ago. Their goal? To challenge the Israeli government's tacit acceptance and enforcement of a ban on Jews praying there by the Islamic trust that has continued to administer the site even after Israel captured the Old City in 1967.
Jewish visits to the plaza are expected to surpass 12,000 this year, up 30 percent from 2011, according to estimates by Jewish worshipper groups.
"What is provocative about a person wanting to pray?" Rabbi Chaim Richman asked after defying mainstream rabbinical religious rulings and risking arrest by praying on a recent morning near the golden Dome of the Rock. The world's oldest surviving Islamic monument, it's built atop the site where Jews believe their first temple held the Ten Commandments.
"It's the most basic human right," said Richman, international director of the Temple Institute. "I'm not asking to build a temple. I'm just asking to move my lips."
His group and others that advocate the rebuilding of a Jewish temple have often been dismissed by other Israelis and the international community as extremists and zealots who seek to destroy the Dome and the nearby Al Aqsa mosque. Now they are betting this prayer campaign will give their cause more mainstream support, portraying it as a matter of religious equality and free speech.
How can it be, they ask, that in the state of Israel, Jews and Christians are banned from praying at Judaism's holiest site, while Muslims can worship freely? Even the U.S. State Department has cited Israel's ban on non-Muslim prayer on the plaza in its annual report on religious freedom, they note.
The groups want the Israeli government to implement a time-sharing plan that would set aside certain hours for Jewish worship, similar to one used to divide Hebron's Cave of the Patriarchs, a holy site for both Muslims and Jews.
Palestinians and Muslim leaders call the prayer campaign the latest ruse designed to instigate clashes so Israel can justify putting the plaza under military control.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas last month accused Israel of launching a "fierce assault" on the mosque after soldiers broke up a Muslim riot triggered by a group of Jewish worshippers.
Jordan, which has maintained day-to-day supervision of the plaza through an Islamic trust called the Waqf, is asking the U.N.'s cultural body, UNESCO, to condemn Israel for permitting an increase in Jewish prayers.
"The Israeli strategy is to take it over," said Mahdi Abdul Hadi, chairman of the Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International Affairs, a Jerusalem think tank. "We don't want to share — not because we don't accept them, but because we don't trust them." He said the Hebron agreement was supposed result in sharing, but it led to bloody clashes between Jews and Muslims, and finally a military takeover.
Hadi also noted that temple-rebuilding extremists set fire to Al Aqsa mosque in 1969 and plotted to bomb the Dome of the Rock in the 1980s.

May is Osteoporosis Awareness Month. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, 52 million Americans have osteoporosis (thinning of the bone). In fact, about one in two women and up to one in four men over the age of 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis. By 2020, half of all Americans over age 50 are expected to have low bone density or osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis increases the risk for bone fractures. The gold standard for osteoporosis diagnosis is a low-density x-ray scan. Portable ultrasonic bone scanners allow low-cost, fast screening for risk of osteoporosis.
Indiana State University's College of Nursing, Health, and Human Services is happy to announce a community service activity at Honey Creek Mall.
Physician Assistant students will be performing free bone scans to determine your risk of osteoporosis and provide simple suggestions to improve your bone health and thus reduce your risk of bone fracture. This service will be provided inside the mall's main entrance during mall hours May 10-11 and May 17-18.
Contact: Alvaro Gurovich, assistant professor of physical therapy, Indiana State University, 812-237-4200 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Free bone scans will be provided May 17-18 at Honey Creek Mall during regular mall hours.

Putting a rip in mCloth
Putting a rip in mCloth
One very cool feature that has been added to the MassFX toolset in recent updates is the ability of mCloth objects to have tears appear in them when certain forces and/or collisions are applied to them. Not only does this feature work very nicely in mCloth, but it is also very easy to use. The first step of course is to add an mCloth modifier. I am going to do this by holding down the Shift and Alt modifier keys and then right-clicking in the viewport. From the quad menu, I just want to select the Create mCloth command.
This of course applies an mCloth modifier to the geometry, but you will also notice that we are instantly switched into the Modifier tab of the Command panel. This means we can instantly begin to edit our cloth parameters. Before we go any further however, I just want to demonstrate the current scene setup that we're working with here. Let's come down to our animation controls and press Play. As you can see, our two upright poles begin to move away from one anoth...
Putting a rip in mCloth provides you with in-depth training on 3D + Animation. Taught by Brian Bradley as part of the Creating Simulations in MassFX and 3ds Max

Quickie sketch of Korra because this scene looked awesome
When the going gets tough. Why Get a Loan From Us?
Advance America
Quickie sketch of Korra because this scene looked awesome
Woo, more commissions!
Thanks a bunch to weelow for commissioning me, these were fun to do!
Advance America
Okay this took a freaking long time to edit.
In this I make a lot of references to old friends and such… I had quite a lot of fun going over only sheezy accounts, comments, artwork and journals. It's nice to see how each of us have evolved in our own way. c:
WEEELL it sure has been a while since I hung out here on Tumblr. I've kinda tried to cut down on my internet induced procrastination and by God, tumblr is the best place to procrastinate haha.
Anyways, I've still been drawing shit but I mostly post them on my FB page so you can give it a quick look over there if you want…. do it.
It's time to get crunk. Going to one of my closest friends girlfriends birthday and I was told by my friend that they'd drink me under the table. Oh well, I guess I'll just prepare myself for it and enjoy an evening of being shitfaced <3
Well look who showed up in my mail yesterday. The one and only Snufkin. I've wanted this cup for ages now aaaaaa <3
Also, randomly downing a Jägermeister with your friends on a Thursday and then end up chilling with the shop keeper of a gas station until 4am when you got work the next day may not be the best of ideas. Just saying. Though he did give us free cinnamon buns that he was going to throw away and some baby carrots.
Chillin out - WIP2
Another work in progress picture of the drawing I'm working on now. It's just the base colours right now. Gotta get rid of those outlines and then make it pop a bit more.
Sketch I did yesterday.
For shame, Daniel. Don't you know that female armours shouldn't cover more than just the nipples and the crotch. Rookie mistake, man. Rookie mistake.
Rémy Zimon the Aakilian.
Random little character that I drew the other day and got really happy with the design so I did a quick coloured version of it in photoshop.
Quick painting of Weelow whom I haven't drawn in years. So I revamped him a little. He's now wearing worn out, torn and dirty clothes like someone who lives on the street. Except for the fancy but slightly over-sized coat which he found or took or something.
Veteran AdventurerDrawing for day 3 and also a quick-ish concept painting of a little character I'll be using in my next portfolio drawing. So keep an eye out for that one in a few days hopefully c:
Character belongs to White Wolf Publishing
Ok now I'm home from India and I can start on my portfolio. I'm hoping that this one will become good enough to put in to my portfolio when it's finished. So keep your fingers crossed. It's just a WIP so far since I just started putting some colour on to it.
OH and I got a larger stretching ring for my ear today oh joy <3
Photokinetic siblings and some chick with a cat ear hat.
Sketches that turned in to quick-ish coloured drawings. I am terrible at backgrounds so I just throw random brushes at it haha.
Started drawing this as I was taking a break from drawing a different drawing. Though as I was finishing it off I realized that it's kinda like an Asura from GW but as a bird lmao.
Totally worth buying this. NOW Im going to bed or some shit.
This started out as just random experiments with techniques that I saw while watching someone draw on a stream and then I just ended up doing a full out painting of it. And I'm so happy I did 'cause it's the first time in ages that I've felt that I've slightly improved at drawing shit :'D
The girl is a superhero character that I did (except she doesn't have any actual superpowers) and at the moment I'm calling her Nightjay. I'm kind of stuck between Black Lark, Nightjay or NightSkye. Gah names are so hard halp me D:
Slowly trying to step up my productivity despite work. Feels good. To be able to draw without feeling shit about it. And I'm even feeling that I'm learning something new even though it isn't anything big that's visible to others.
Aaand here comes the lines. The wings are sketchy because I keep changing them and once I start colouring they might change again so I'll keep them slightly undefined compared to the rest of the body. Tomorrow I think I'll start getting values in since that's something I keep forgetting to do before I start with the colours argh.
Oh, and I still don't know what to do for a background so suggestions are more than welcome <3

General praises state of ceasefire
Urges both sides to remain steadfast in 'mutual quest for peace'
ucanews.com reporter, Manila
June 27, 2012
The head of the government's cessation of hostilities committee in Mindanao said he is satisfied with the way the ceasefire with Moro rebels is holding. "I am happy to note that each time we meet and work, we continue to move forward to a more conducive, more comfortable and healthy working relationship," said Brigadier General Gilberto Jose Roa. Roa called on the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the International Monitoring Team (IMT) during a meeting in Davao City yesterday "to continue giving your best without let-up in our mutual quest for peace." "This spirit and the professional handling of issues despite all challenges have allowed the ceasefire to hold and created an atmosphere conducive for the peace process to proceed unhindered," said Major General Dato' Abul Rahim Bin Mohd Yussuf, the Malaysian head of the IMT. Yussuf challenged members of the Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH), a mechanism created in 2003 to implement the ceasefire deal, "to confront effectively" common challenges to ensure that the ceasefire holds. "We in the ceasefire mechanism are called upon to confront these forces that corrode the possibility of a lasting ceasefire," he said. Yussuf identified "ignorance, perceptions, personal agenda and greed" of people in the area among the challenges the committee is facing. Lawyer Marvic Leonen, head of the government peace panel, said he appreciates the joint ceasefire committee's "heroic acts of maintaining the peace despite the many vulnerabilities that present themselves on the ground." Most prominent among these vulnerabilities are "ridos," or clan disputes among Moro families that most of the time leads to shooting wars. "I ask that we all build on this trust. Our peoples deserve just peace. Let us give them what they deserve," Leonen said. More than 120,000 people have already died since the Moro secession attempts started in 1970. The government signed a peace agreement with the Moro National Liberation Front in 1996 and later began separate talks with the MILF. The peace talks have collapsed and resumed frequently in the past 14 years. The present ceasefire, signed in 2003, has held despite the ambush killing by MILF rebels of 19 government soldiers in Basilan province last year. Leonen said the current ceasefire mechanisms will become more relevant once an agreement is signed. While the CCCH is mandated to monitor the implementation of the Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities and to settle complaints on ceasefire violations, the Malaysian-led IMT, established in 2004, aims to monitor the security, civilian protection, humanitarian, rehabilitation, socio-economic and development aspects of the peace process. The IMT comprises contingents from Malaysia, Brunei, Japan, Norway and the European Union. Related reports MILF suspends ceasefire violators MILF flags possible peace deal

RT @spillersrecords: Lots of lovely #vinyl back in stock incl. this orange / exploding selection @mogwaiband @milkteethpunx https://t.co/0w…
Tomorrow sees the release of Mogwai's ninth album, "Atomic". An album of reworked songs from the score to last year's BBC Storyville film - Atomic: Living in Fear and Dread. Mogwai refine their new, more electronic sound for a somber reflection on nuclear warfare.
Mogwai, like many other post-rock bands, often push the more cinematic, narrative elements throughout their albums, which makes scoring movies a logical move. Mogwai's first foray into scoring was Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait which was ten years ago. Since then, aside from their own efforts, they have worked on Daran Aronofasky's The Fountain and the recent tv series The Revenant. In this case, Mogwai's music embellishes the dystopic tone of the archive footage and highlights the urgent message of disarmament behind the project.
Given that context, it might be surprising to find that its title track, "Ether" is one of Mogwai's brighter, more uplifting moments. This song accompanies the first chapter of the film. Which celebrates the development of organic life throughout evolution. These proud tones build from gentle muted notes welcoming a long, brass crescendo which explodes in true Mogwai style.
Continue reading: Mogwai - Atomic Album Review
Mogwai have been a band for what feels like a lifetime, at least almost all of my lifetime, and they've released albums, EPs and soundtracks consistently throughout. Central Belters is here as a celebration of that 20 years together. A greatest hits - if you will. Greatest Hits collections are touted as 'collectors only' items in this day and age and largely this won't be played by anyone who doesn't already own the majority of its tracklist, but that's missing the point. Mogwai have been steady in their career, but over 20 years they're sure to have gained some fans and lost some by the wayside and this career spanning collection of what they deem their greatest tracks serves as a basecamp to catch up before you begin climbing the behemoth before you.
Central Belters is largely chronological in nature it's three hour plus running time spans from the slow moody vocals of 'CODY' to the taut synths of 2014's Rave Tapes which gave the band their first top 10 hit. The band that got stuck with the quiet/LOUD/quiet description have evolved over the course of their eight studio albums. Not suddenly and not drastically, but from an elemental level. They're an instrumental band and yet many of these tracks feature vocals. They're an insidiously heavy noise rock band and yet many of these tracks are deathly slow. They've got 20 minute songs and yet there's songs here that are under three minutes. You think you know Mogwai and yet you don't; Central Belters is a testament to the versatility and depth of this beast.
The classic raging guitar scuzz that builds and falls through the 16 minutes of 'Mogwai Fear Satan' closes up CD1 and seeps into the now iconic opening notes of 'Auto Rock' from 2006's Mr Beast. CD2 is then given over to the arguably more trite period. This in itself spans eight years and from 'Travel is Dangerous' to the snappy Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will's 'Mexican Grand Prix' there's a lot of growing room. It's easy to track their progression to the current day while listening to this record. There's no real hits on Central Belters because Mogwai don't have any as such, but there's everything that makes them into the earth shattering, tear inducing, ear splitting song writers that they are.

Mogwai dub Metallica "sh*te" before facing up in the same time slot at Glastonbury.
Of course, anyone who's remotely interested in music would choose to see Scottish post-punk heroes Mogwai over Metallica at the Glastonbury Festival 2014 and the Glaswegian band have been doing their best to pull the crowds away from the Pyramid Stage on Saturday. Metallica - the only metal band on the bill - were a surprise and controversial booking, though Mogwai's singer Stuart Braitwaite doesn't seen what all the fuss is about.
Mogwai Hates Metallica
"I just can't wait until we go all quiet and you can hear 'Enter Sandman' in the background, because we're on at the same time. I don't really see the fuss. They're a pretty big rock band and it's a pretty big rock festival. It would be good if they could go back in time to 1989. Metallica at Glastonbury in 1989," he said.

As one of the founder members and undisputed heavyweight champions of the genre known as post-rock, Mogwai have little left to prove to anyone other than themselves. While their legacy has spawned literally hundreds of imitators seemingly intent on recreating the "loud-fast, quiet-slow" template set out by 'Mogwai Young Team' some fourteen years ago, the original artefact seem to have spent the past few years embarking on something of a transitional period in their illustrious career.
