Kylie Cosmetics' Holiday Palettes Are Actually Affordable So Go Ahead & Buy A Lip Kit Too
Kylie Cosmetics is getting a jump on the Black Friday shopping frenzy. Kylie Jenner is dropping the 2017 Kylie Cosmetics Holiday Collection on Wednesday, Nov. 22 at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT. The limited edition suite of products features the black packaged Naughty palette, the white packaged Nice palette, the Holiday Wet Set highlighters, the Sugar Lip set, the Spice Lip set, and a cosmetics bag. It's a fiercely focused and carefully curated collection. It's also bound to sell out instantly, since that's what happens with all of the brand's ranges.
But let's hone in on the palettes, shall we? Both Naughty and Nice feature 14 pans of eyeshadow each. The palettes are $44 a piece, so each shade averages at just over $3. It's a total value, since you can use these palettes beyond the holiday season.
The Naughty palette features sparkly and wintry white, gold, and black hues, as well as red and brown shades. They have seasonally appropriate and adorbs names like Snowball, Jingle, Unwrap Me, Hot Toddy, Coal, Mischief, and Tipsy.
The Nice palette boasts shimmery shades and a bunch of neutrals, as well as pops of color. Some of the names are Blizzard, Drummer Boy, Slay, Santa Baby, and Jack Frost.
Since there are over a dozen pans of shadow in each palette, you can customize your look every time you use it and go for months without repeating any of the color combos.
Naughty offers plenty of possibilities for a sultry, smoky, "bad girl gone badder" eye.
The shades that comprise the Nice Palette are a soft and pretty, though slightly similar to Naughty.
If you nab both the palettes before they sell out, you can mix and matte (oops... match!) colors from both, thereby increasing your unique and custom eye looks exponentially. Each palette is totally complimentary and can work in tandem. That's not an accident, either.
This year's holiday eyeshadow palette packaging is slim and sleek.
The compact palettes are totally designed for traveling, giving you a lot of color options without taking up much space in your makeup bag or your luggage. That's always a beautiful thing.
While Naughty and Nice don't come equipped with an eyeshadow brush, they do boast mirrors. Don't fret over the lack of a fluffy shader. You no doubt have a healthy supply of brushes in your repertoire that you can use with these palettes.
The holiday 2017 palettes feature eyeshadow squares, which is slightly off brand for Kylie. Previous palettes, like Royal Peach, which dropped after the 2016 holiday hoopla, hosted circular pans and nine shades.
Jenner clearly isn't afraid too flip the script and evolve with her offerings. It keeps fans guessing whenever she drops a new product, and she's not remaining consistent for consistency's sake. She's letting the makeup spirits guide her creativity.
Overall, the Kylie Cosmetics 2017 Holiday Collection is much more streamlined than 2016, which featured a fluffy white stocking, the brand's first-ever brushes, Kyliners, and several bundles. The 2016 collection also featured silver and white packaging, in keeping with the frosty climate of the season.
Some of the products from Holiday 2016 were eventually upgraded from limited edition to permanent addition. Some were "one-and-done" and never had a reprise.
Fast-forward to 2017 and the Naughty and Nice Palettes represent the new generation of Kylie Cosmetics. If you grab both of them, you end up with an new eyeshadow wardrobe and two separate palettes that will play "Nice" together for less than $100.
That's enough of a reason to log on to the Kylie Cosmetics site and scoop up each of these palettes. Your lids will thank you.

25 Little Ways To Empower Yourself As A First-Time Mom
Being a mother means taking on the responsibilities of nearly everything. My to-do list is a mile long on any given day and, even when I accomplish everything, I wake up to a brand new list every morning. I love being a mom: it's an awesome experience and I'm grateful for it. However, when I was a new mom, it was a lot easier to lose myself in the process. This is why it's important to look for all the little ways to empower yourself as a first-time mom. Even now, as a mother of 10 years now, without utilizing at least a few of these things I will inevitably fall back to losing myself in my kids all over again. That's no good for anyone, my children included.
Empowerment is giving myself permission to do things for me, even when my kids need me. In the early days, I thought taking the time for myself was selfish; that my new baby needed me all day, every day, which mean my needs (if I was a "good" mother) should no longer exist. Of course that's not true. In order to be the best for her, I had to be the best for me, first, foremost, and always.
The acts of empowerment and self-care don't have to be anything grand. They don't have to cost money or take that much time at all. The point is, in taking care of yourself, you're doing your baby a favor. So if you're looking for permission to put yourself first, here it is! Now go and reveal in the empowerment of putting yourself first. It's not selfish, it's responsible parenting.
When you're a newbie, everything is overwhelming. It's OK if you need to step away from the phone, computer, partner, and baby to gather yourself somewhere quiet. This is part of the self-care process. I've hidden in the garage, bathroom, and closet before so I didn't explode about something stupid. There's no shame.
Do Something For Someone Else
It really does feel good to step outside of your own little world to do something nice for someone else. Think of another mom (maybe another newbie) and write a letter of encouragement to send her way. It will make her day, and yours.
Ignore All The Advice
Everyone has an opinion about what it takes to be a mother. Forget it. All of it. Now is the time to trust your gut and stop second guessing. It's the best way to build your confidence as a mother.
Get Off Social Media
Seriously. I never feel worse than when scrolling endlessly through my social media channels. It breeds envy, disappointment in myself, and if there's horrible things happening in the world, I'll be upset for days. If you're already doubting yourself or stressed, this isn't the best outlet. To feel empowered and less stressed, get offline and and mediate on all the great things in your life.
After my first baby, I was really out of shape. My weight had ballooned to an all-time high and I felt unhealthy. Taking my daughter for a walk in her stroller made me feel better about myself. Eventually, this would lead to running and realizing I actually enjoy exercise. Gasp!
Create A List
I live and breathe by to-do lists, because even if there's nothing much going on, I'll add small tasks just to feel the pride of crossing them off. This is a great self-esteem booster on the hard days.
Practice Mindfulness
It's really difficult to master, but also really important to be mindful. Whether you're trying to remain mentally present when spending time with your baby, or when date night with your partner rolls around, staying in the moment will boost your mood (especially if you're anxious like me).
Seek Out Friends
Having other mom friends to commiserate with helps you feel less alone on this journey, which can be empowering all by itself. They get what you're going through. Also, keeping those friends without kids helps ground you. They're amazing at reminding you that you're so much more than a mother, so keep them close.
Set Your Alarm
I know how tempting it is to want to sleep in every chance you get when you're already sleep-deprived, but in setting your alarm every now and then, you're taking control of your day and giving yourself an extra 10-15 minutes to mentally prepare for it.
Let Yourself Vent
Being a mom is hard. No one said you have to keep it in and let it build until you explode. Find those willing to listen — and only listen — to get it off your chest. When you're done, you'll feel better and more confident through he rest of your day.
Ask For Help
There are days, still, when I think I can't do it all. Things pile up, responsibilities build, I'm tired and over-scheduled, and I need help. As a new mother, there's no better time to recruit anyone and everyone to take some of the weight. It takes a village, after all, and mommy needs like 20 minutes to power nap. Please.
Take A Day (Or Hour) Off
If you have a partner, utilize his or her time off to your benefit. It doesn't need to be an entire day to yourself, but having some time away — with your friends or alone — is refreshing. You'll return feeling like a new woman.
Discover A New Hobby
In all the time you spend with your baby, there might be a new hobby just beneath the surface. You might find you like to knit hats for NICU infants, or write letters to soldiers overseas. You might even realize you're pretty good at dancing and should challenge your partner to a dance-off immediately.
Forgive Yourself
Give yourself permission to fail. It's inevitable. By accepting this from the start, you'll be more likely to pick yourself up a little faster.
Try A New Hairstyle
Something about renewal or fresh starts happen when the scissors hit the hair after a baby. I cut mine fairly short because it saved time in styling and I wanted to cement my new self.
Treat Yourself
Paint your nails. Put makeup on for absolutely no reason. Dress up. Eat the cake. Whatever it is, do it, enjoy it, and have no regrets.
Don't Underestimate The Power Of A Deep Breath
I get so worked up, I often forget to breathe. As a new mom, it's really important when frustrated to take a moment to close your eyes and take a deep breath before you act. Seriously.
Try To Keep A Schedule
Scheduling saved me. Getting my baby on something concrete meant I could experience a little freedom during the times she slept. When you're a new mom, a little freedom goes a hell of a long way.
When I was pregnant and after the birth of my daughter, I journaled everything. Mostly, it helped me get my thoughts out if no one was there to listen. Also, it helped me reflect back, realizing some of the "hard" times really weren't that bad and the "good" times were even better than I remembered.
Lower Your Expectations
You aren't going to do everything right all the time. Guess what? It's cool. Your baby forgives you so you should, too. Set your bar lower and enjoy the small successes, like taking a shower. Yay.
Play With Your Baby And Try To Enjoy It
Along with being mindful, When you spend time with your baby, do only that. No phone or TV. Give them all of you. Even though the days are long, this time will pass quickly and, sometime in the future, you'll miss them.
Find A Support Group
Thanks to the internet, you can find a support group forum from the comfort of home. This is a great place to talk to others in the same boat. Or, find a group you can take your baby to. You'll bond with baby and get out of the house. Score.
Get Some Fresh Air
After my delivery I was housebound for a long time. This didn't help my depression. I first felt empowered when I stepped outside and smelled the fresh air. It's easy to forget it's out there.
Draft A Meal Plan For The Week
It takes a few minutes of planning but, once you have it finished, you'll feel fantastic. Meal planning means not stressing every night over what to cook or resorting to fast food all the time. If you have a plan, you can do anything.
Tell Yourself "It Can Wait"
More than anything else you can do when baby comes home, remind yourself it's OK if you don't finish the to-do list or if you have to tell people no. Whatever it is coming at you, be patient with yourself. Take care of yourself first, your baby second, and everything else after.
This period of time won't last forever so it's important to remember you're not superwoman and you don't have to be. To feel empowered is to take some form of control back from your life in order to gain the confidence necessary to slay. What baby wouldn't want that for their mother?

Due to the nature of the game, I personally believe this task is a hard one, you can't fit that much information and keep it minimal but, it seems they did it.

…He would now tell me I was in the Shabia Khawaneeji – the group of Bedouins in the Khawaneej area of The UAE. His wife soon placed a table in the middle and brought a glass of juice and a bowl of Tamar (Dates). Historically, dates and bread are the staple food of the Bedouins. Back in the old days, they would dig a deep pit in the desert and fill it with dates. The pit would then be covered and ash be spread on top of it. That way it was ensured that no beast, insect or bird would come anywhere close to the treasure house of dates. There have been instances where the dates have remained fresh even 60 years after it was dug into the earth, save for the first few layers, the ones deep down were fresh and edible. Back to the bowl of dates that lie in from of me, no knowledge of the etiquette of eating at a Bedouins house left me puzzled if to take the dates by fork or hand, eat a single date or eat as much as I wanted. Help soon came. As if he heard the battle between my conscious, subconscious, etiquette and culture, "Don't eat dates in double", he meant not to eat dates in even numbers. "Eat one, three, five or seven. Eat in single numbers. It forms a cover around you and the Iblis (Satan) can't come close to you." The Bedouin, be, modern or traditional, his day still starts with three dates, usually not more because of the high sugar content in them and up to seven in the afternoon.
As I look around the compound what was most prominent was the line of cars that were parked. I count four of them and am interrupted when he tells me his family consists of his wife and six children. Just then, his daughter drives into the compound. I can't help but ask, "How many cars do you have here". Promptly," Six" he says. So excluding his youngest children, the boy who in his primary and the girl in her higher secondary, every other member of the family has one car each. Prejudice No 4- Bedouins raise camels and engage in agriculture and are not financially well off. WRONG. Though most Bedouins still raise camels and look after their farms also, the Ruler directly employs most of them. They are greatly supported by the government and many have government jobs.
Previously to having reached this house, looking through the gates, parked in grandeur was a line of cars in the compounds, some with four cars, some with five. Not only were they many in number, very few of them were not those of luxury. Parked and glistening in the sun was a luxurious display of Lexus, Benz, BMW, Porsche and of the like. Many had 2-3 digit registration plates as well. Clearly I knew what I crafted in my head was totally wrong.
Without further conjuring for the right words, "How are the Bedouins so rich?" the support from the Government is understood but yet…? "The Camels", he answers. Be it for sale or for the races, the Bedouins today make a lot of money with the camel. "They are sold for 1 million, 2million dirhams and there have been times when a single camel was sold for 15 million dirhams ", he adds. Apparently the female camels are more expensive and are faster in races as well.
The origin of the Arabs is traced down to the Bedouins. They, without second thoughts, qualify as the purest Arabs and so is justified the support the Ruler extends to the Bedouin tribe and to their welfare and development.
Camel milk and meat are common in a Bedouin household but this. He is not a Bedouin. His wife is. He comes from Al Hamriya and in his English tells me he is "from the Beach", very simply, a fisherman belonging to the Hadar tribe or the 'settled people' unlike the Bedus who are nomadic, pastoral people. He got married to a Bedouin after his sister was married to his wife's brother. While his wife is truly in love with the camel, he does not seem to be too interested in either its meat or milk though they do have it in once in a while. Poking fun of his wife, with a laugh he makes mention of how the language of the Bedouins is different from the other Arab dialects in that they are extremely loud and seem to be shouting when in reality they aren't and are only making a point.
Guests are welcomed with utmost warmth and special dishes are cooked for them. Starting with the dates and khahwa (Arabic coffee), the host gets a goat slaughtered and the women prepare it in the traditional style that is served with bread. Salutations are exchanged and each find out about the others' family and nothing more. Once food is eaten and the guest feels relaxed, only then does each discuss about the purpose of the visit.
He struggles with the words, as his explanations get longer and he finds a solution. His daughter will now talk to me and welcomes me inside his home. I wait in the 'majlis', the seating area on a green carpet with cushions lying around. Prejudice No 5- Bedouin women are fully covered from head to toe at all times even at home. WRONG.A beautiful young girl walks up to me with a big smile. She is wearing a long blue top with black leggings. She wears dangling earrings and her hair is cut in a fringe and falls on her face and both her head and face is uncovered. She is Ayesha.
Can women leave their heads uncovered? "It is considered a shame for a woman, if a man sees her. At home, it depends on how lenient your father and brothers are" She speaks in fluent English and my effort of speaking in very simple English is now minimized. She is easy to talk to and understands the perfect sense of my questions. She very proudly adds," Women are jewels to the Bedouins. There are restrictions, but they are greatly valued. " She also adds, "Of course, now everybody is become less restricting and women have more freedom."
After conversations covering a range of topics – their traditional homes and its' comforts, the dahin arabi-oil made from cows milk -a Bedouin favorite, the home -made cow butter that her grandmother makes at home and the big houses and its' large compounds, she took me out to see her hens and around her house. She would later take me to the desert to see the camels. We drive to the desert. "Lucky", she tells me as a line of camels, with their legs tied with a small red twine walk around freely grazing. The desert soon becomes their territory. Everywhere we look there are more camels. It leaves me truly amazed. On having reached a sand dune, she gets down the car and runs up the sand with her feet sinking in the loose sand up to to her ankles. She looks a child in the beach, thoroughly sinking in the fun and the amazement as fresh as the first time when pointing out to the one, two, three, four and more camels. I follow slowly behind her shaking the sand off my slippers every two steps. In the midst of the struggle climbing up, I hear her laugh, " You don't wear your slippers in the desert. Just walk barefoot. This is great massage." She would later explain how the strain is great for the calf, ankle and thigh muscles, also adding the benefits of sand for the eye. I remove my slippers and feel my feet sinking deeper in the cool of the sand. The feeling is beautiful. The beauty of the hue -bathed desert entwined in the life of a Bedouin awoke in me an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
As the orange sun traveled across the sky and the camels formed silhouettes, the life of the Bedouin seemed to arrive at a stand still. The muezzin calls for the Maghreb prayer. The setting sun, the orange glow that soon engulfs the sky and the stretches and stretches of desert that joins in perfect harmony with the dipping horizon paints a mystical image drowning in the sound of the calls to prayer soon followed by neighbouring mosques. The sounds are soon lost in the cooling sand. There is then a long silence, the calm, and the tranquility of the night that spreads and dissolves the horizon, forming one large sky.

If you think about it, it's like saying 'excuse me for living' – literally: if you tend to apologize for every little thing, you devaluate yourself. And there's no need to.
Are you the type of person who says 'sorry!' when a stranger bumps into you in the street, even it's their fault? Do you apologize in advance when you're asking your colleague to help you with something perfectly normal? Maybe you even apologize for things that you can't control at all. You're not the only one.
Many people, especially women, apologize all the time – while there's no need. Most of us learn at a young age that they need to say sorry when they did something wrong. Of course that's useful. If something went wrong because of you, it's a powerful thing to acknowledge what you did and apologize. But when you say sorry all the time, there's something wrong.
If you keep apologizing, in fact you're saying 'excuse me for living' – literally, not ironically. This may undermine your self esteem. The difficult thing is that excessive apologizing usually comes from very nice qualities. If you're very empathetic, you probably tend to say sorry because you want to take other people's feelings into account. However, when doing so, you don't take your own feelings into account. If you try to avoid conflict, apologizing may be your way to do so. But apologizing a lot can also come from a strict upbringing, or difficulties related to fear.
1 Count to ten and think about it: did you actually do or say anything you need to apologize for? If you can't think of anything, don't say sorry.
2 Do you find it hard to express your emotions? Don't say sorry. Your feelings deserve space, you don't need to apologize for them. Want to let people know you empathize with them? Instead of 'sorry', you can tell them: 'I understand it may be difficult to hear this' or 'please let me know if it upsets you.'
3 Write down ten things you often apologize for, like bumping into a stranger, or asking a friend to help you. Think of an alternative for every situation and practice with it.
4 If you're asking a question or need someone to clarify something, don't feel like there's anything wrong with that. Instead of 'sorry, I don't understand', you might say 'Perhaps you can help me by giving an example' or 'Could you tell me a little bit more about this?'
5 Turn excuses into gratitude. If you asked a friend to do a chore for you, don't say 'sorry I had to ask you' but: 'I'm thankful you did it for me.' It's more pleasant for the other person, and it helps you to focus on positive things.

Horse riding in the French Alps with Aravis Passion
With winter just around the corner we're all looking forward to digging our skis out and hitting the slopes again. However, if you're looking for an alternative to skiing, or fancy trying something different during your holiday you should take a look at Aravis Passion.
Aravis Passion is an equestrian centre situated just outside La Clusaz village. Horse and pony treks are just the beginning at Aravis Passion, as they offer diverse equestrian activities all year round with some excitingly different options! Let us give you a run through of all the fun activities on offer at the centre.
Winter Activities
Horse and Pony Treks at Aravis Passion
Horse and pony trekking are both available in the winter. With packages for all levels you can discover the Aravis from a completely different perspective. Horse treks take place in the mornings and evenings outside of the ski lift opening times, allowing you to experience the forests in tranquility. Pony trekking can be enjoyed throughout the day and is perfect for young families.
Ski Joëring
Ski Joëring is believed to have originated in Sweden over 4000 years ago. What was then used as a means of transportation by peasants has developed into a leisure and competitive sport and even featured in the St Moritz Winter Olympics in 1928.
Ski Joering is a winter sport where a person on skis is pulled by a horse, a dog (or dogs) or a motor vehicle. It is derived from the Norwegian word "skikjøring", meaning "ski driving".
Aravis Passion offers equestrian Ski Joëring tours. Julian and his team guide you and the horses around a mixture of groomed trails of varying levels. With packages for different skiing abilities available you don't have to be an expert skier to get out and give it a try!
It is also possible to book a private group session and Julian tailors the excursion to the group's skiing ability and even offers a traditional Savoyard lunch in a nearby igloo!
Pony Sledging
Another great option for young families, pony sledging takes the pace down a bit. Enjoy a gentle, snowy, meander as your children are towed on a traditional sledge by their pony.
Horse Drawn Carriage
Cosied up under warm furs you can enjoy beautiful sunsets from the comfort of the Aravis Passion carriage. A wonderful experience for non-skiers and those who are not at ease in the saddle! It can also make for a very romantic evening out.
What to Wear
For all of the winter activities it is advised to dress warmly! Warm winter jackets and trousers are recommended for the treks and carriage ride, and for ski-joëring and sledging ski clothing is best.
Summer Activities
Horse Treks
Experience the forests and pastures of the Aravis in tranquility with only the clip clop of horses hooves to distract you from the natural sounds of the mountains. With discovery treks of one hour to half day excursions, there is something for all levels of rider on offer.
Please note that the horses can only take up to a maximum rider weight of 80kg.
Farm Discovery on Pony Back
From the age of two, children can discover a mini-farm from pony back. With pigs, geese, goats, rabbits and more at the farm this is a fantastic way to introduce your little ones to the world of horses.
Riding Classes
Riding classes for children from four to thirteen are offered throughout the summer at Aravis Passion. Classes run morning and afternoon, Monday to Friday. With flexible full or half day packages available you can decide which days your child will attend and only pay for the days they are present.
The children learn through games with the ponies, as well as treks and jumping. Theory is also taught so the children come away with a rounded knowledge of riding.
Prices and Booking Information
Visit Aravis Passion for prices and booking information for all winter and summer activities.
Eating at Aravis Passion
Exploring the Aravis on horseback is hungry work! Enjoy delicious home made dishes before or after riding.
If you're still looking for a base for your summer or winter holiday, explore our range of luxury chalets in the Aravis at OVO Network.

Planet Yogas to become a Chartered Accountant
Industries have grown to a large scale in today's times. Due to which, looking after a company's accounts and profit/loss has become a difficult job. Also there are various legal aspects in the government tax services, which has made it difficult for a common man to calculate the exact sum of his income and expenditures and then pay tax. That is why, for all these purposes the importance of Chartered Accountants is growing rapidly.
To become a Chartered Accountant, a person should obtain knowledge in the subjects of commerce and mathematics, and some practical knowledge from a vocational institute. These examinations are a little difficult to pass and it may not be possible for everyone. The occupation of a Chartered Accountant in today's time has high reputation, fame and money. The relationship of planets of Mercury, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn is considered good for this occupation.
1. Necessary Houses: Second, sixth, tenth, twelfth and fifth house and Chartered Accountant Career
From the perspective of Astrology, the second house is the house of income and wealth. Sixth house is the house of competitions and law. Tenth house is the house of action and twelfth house of tax and revenue. Fifth house is the house of advice. These houses together point towards becoming a Chartered Accountant. However, to master this field a person should acquire higher level education. For this, its relation should be formed with the fifth house/fifth-lord.
The Ascendant lord, tenth-lord, fifth-lord, ninth-lord, second-lord are very important in the birth-chart. Because due to the auspicious positions of these houses, a person is employed on high post or receives high education. As a result, a person is able to reap benefits and fame in his life. In matters of Chartered Accountant, the sixth and the twelfth house are very important, because these help to know about those associated with tax and audit.

Mercury and Jupiter are the main planets for the planet yogas required to become a Chartered Accountant. Jupiter is the kaarak of funds and consultation and Mercury is the kaarak of accounts. Mercury provides a person with the ability to handle accounts, but success in competitions can be obtained through Mars.
The influence of Saturn is considered auspicious on the fifth house/ fifth-lord. Usually, the influence of Mars has to be more on the second house or on the lord of the second house. However, the person who is expert in mathematics steps in this field. Because the entire work of a Chartered Accountant is making accounts and doing calculations.
The relationship of Mars and Saturn is also important, as people who are more inclined towards raising revenue and saving tax have to seek help of these malefic planets. The accountants with an influence of Mars and Saturn in their birth-charts work more to protect their tax and raise their revenue.
3. Role of Amatyakaarak Planet and Chartered Accountant Career
Amatyakaarak Planet is Kaarak of business. In the birth-chart of a Chartered Accountant, the relation of Amatyakaarak is with the second house or with the lord of the second house.

When Amatyakaarak is related to the second, fifth and eleventh house, a person progresses in his profession. This Yoga provides success to a person to become a Chartered Accountant.
4. Role of Periods and Chartered Accountant Career
In the beginning of the occupation, the lord of the periods should have a relationship with the sixth and the tenth house and with Amatyakaarak planet. Because in Astrology success is determined through the periods. During the period of Business, if the related planets and the period of the lord of the houses match well, the person will easily lead towards progress in his profession.

B) If Mercury is the lord of the tenth house and is in conjunction with the fifth house or aspects it, and Venus is the lord of the Ascendant or eleventh house and forms a relationship with Jupiter the person achieves success in this field.

So you want to be an expert? Seems like just about everybody does these days and social media makes it relatively easy, and very inexpensive, to take steps to gain expert status, or thought leadership. We work with a wide range of clients, primarily in business-to-business (B2B) related industries, many who are business consultants wishing to establish themselves as thought leaders in various industries. Here are "3 Steps for Gaining Traction as a Thought Leader":
- Actually have expertise in the subject area where you wish to become a thought leader. Seems obvious, but we've been approached by people who want to establish influence who really don't have the background or credentials to effectively stand out from their competition. As Abraham Lincoln reportedly said: " You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."
- Clearly target a specific audience you wish to influence/engage with. It's not about sending messages to the masses, but about connecting with a specifically defined audience that will help to drive specific goals/objectives.
- Provide valuable information for your audience — not promotional messages but real value. We've worked with companies that insist on sending only promotional messages, having CTAs (calls to action) in every post and basically being all about "me, me, me" — that doesn't work. What does work is understanding your audience and what's important to them, understanding the value you can provide that is different/better than what others are providing, and sharing that value freely.
Do these three things, consistently, and you'll be positioning yourself well to gain traction as a thought leader.
Becoming an influencer doesn't happen overnight. It takes consistency and perseverance — and authenticity! There has to be some there, there!

NCAA baseball regionals: Mark Marquess' career ends at Stanford, Arizona wins in extras
Stanford Regional: Cal State Fullerton 4, Stanford 2; Earlier: Stanford 9, BYU 1
This is a foreign moment: 41 years, 1,627 wins, and two national titles after signing on as Stanford baseball's head coach, Mark Marquess' career is over.
Cal State Fullerton beat the Cardinal, 4-2, to win the Stanford regional on Saturday and eliminate its host team, bringing Marquess' illustrious career at the helm to an end. He had announced his pending retirement before this season.
Marquess acknowledged the cheering crowd after the final out while his own players lined up for handshakes and the Fullerton team tipped its caps toward the revered coach, who is commonly nicknamed "Nine" because of his No. 9 jersey.
41 seasons.
1,627 career wins.
Only one Mark Marquess.
Thanks for everything, coach. #FinalSeas9n #Pac12BSB pic.twitter.com/bqhHpduBYQ

Thank you Coach Mark Marquess for #Pac12BSB seasons! pic.twitter.com/jmcAnb7eq7
— #FirstTo500 (@Pac12Network) May 27, 2017
The ending, of course, was undoubtedly difficult to swallow for a leader who had done so much winning during his four-plus decades in charge of Stanford, but Fullerton silenced the Cardinal's bats yet again.
Stanford mustered only one run against the Titans in a 4-1 loss Friday that pushed them into the loser's bracket. Though the Cardinal offense roared to life in the sixth inning of its elimination contest against BYU, exploding for nine runs in three frames to do away with the Cougars 9-1, it again fell victim to excellent Fullerton pitching in the doubleheader's nightcap. Stanford mustered only two hits through the game's first eight innings before a last-gasp rally in the ninth came up short.
The Cardinal finish 2017 with a 42-17 record. They entered the postseason on a roll, having won 21 of 23 games, but that wasn't enough to topple a similarly surging Titan team. So, the focus on The Farm turns to replacing Marquess, a man who became the fixture of the program.
Marquess was a two-sport athlete in football and baseball upon arriving at Stanford in 1965, when he was the freshman roommate of future presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Marquess produced 60 major league players during his tenure, 52 of which earned their Stanford degrees. The Cardinal's back-to-back College World Series titles in 1987 and 1988 are considered the apex of a storied program history.
A new era of Stanford baseball begins now, one which has gargantuan shoes to fill.
Lubbock Regional: Arizona 6, Delaware 5 (12 innings)
The Wildcats are exhausted, but they're still alive. Arizona finished an absolute marathon of an elimination game Saturday -- an extra-inning affair that was delayed more than two hours by lightning -- thanks to Alfonso Rivas' majestic swing of salvation in the 12th.
How 'bout that 12th-inning magic from @ArizonaBaseball?! #BackThePac #RoadToOmaha pic.twitter.com/18m85VxIns
— #FirstTo500 (@Pac12Network) June 4, 2017
Rivas whacked an outside offering high into the air toward the opposite field. The blast had enough juice to clear the left field wall. When reliever Juan Aguilera pinned down the final out in the 12th, the Wildcats had officially survived an epic war of attrition: They had been at the ballpark for 10 hours, and the game iself lasted nearly eight hours from start to finish, including the delay that featured plenty of antics to pass the time:
Very proud of @lukesoroko1 for winning the slow man challenge!pic.twitter.com/jdOgYtziX2
— Arizona Baseball (@ArizonaBaseball) June 4, 2017
Arizona now faces more elimination action on Sunday; The Wildcats will face another must-win game at 11 a.m. PT, this one a rematch against Sam Houston State -- the team which beat Arizona on Friday night. A doubleheader sweep over the Bearkats and then host Texas Tech will be required to stay alive.
Corvallis Regional: Oregon State 11, Yale 0
Winning has come easily for Oregon State this season, so it comes as no surprise that the Beavers are cruising through their Regional. The No. 1 Beavers blasted Yale, 11-0, to advance to the weekend's championship game. With a win at 7 p.m. Sunday night, Oregon State will advance to the Super Regional round -- which it would also host.
While Beaver hitters overwhelmed Yale pitching on Saturday night, Luke Heimlich mowed the Bulldogs down from the mound. The lefty pitched seven strong innings, throwing only 88 pitches while showing exceptional control -- 62 of those were strikes.
"I need the Heimlich maneuver right now... he's the best pitcher I've seen in college baseball." - Yale Head Coach John Stuper
— Oregon St. Baseball (@BeaverBaseball) June 4, 2017
At this point, no team has challenged the poll's assertion that Oregon State is the best team in college baseball. Now 51-4, the Beavers are chugging along, destroying anything that steps in their path.
Luke does what Luke does. Lowers his ERA to 0.76 and is en route to his 11th win.#GoBeavs pic.twitter.com/qriPlR9zEG

Long Beach Regional: San Diego State 3, UCLA 2 (13 innings)
The Bruins scrapped to extend their season, tying the Aztecs behind pinch hitter Jack Stronach's single in the eighth inning:
Stronach delivers the big hit and UCLA knots the game at 2 in the 8th! #RoadToOmaha pic.twitter.com/fgpO2X4tah
— NCAA Baseball (@NCAACWS) June 3, 2017
That hit pushed this elimination game into extra innings, but it was all UCLA's offense could muster. The Bruins struggled to produce any more as this game dragged on, and San DIego State eventually broke through in the unlucky 13th thanks to UCLA sloppiness. An error allowed the Aztecs' leadoff hitter to reach, before reliever Scott Burke hit San Diego State shortstop Danny Sheehan with the bases loaded. The Aztecs held on in the bottom half for the 3-2 win.
The Bruins are the first Pac-12 regional contender eliminated in 2017. They finished the season with a 30-27 record.

The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School, located at 591 NW 31st Ave., Lauderhill, scored an "F" grade on the most recent Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test, or FCAT; only 27 percent of students are proficient in reading and 25 percent scored satisfactory or higher in math.
The highest grade the school has obtained is a C, which it got seven times since the state's grading system began in the 1998-99 school year.
Almost all the students are minorities and 99 percent of them received free or reduced lunch meals, meaning they come from very low income homes.
"This is a school that has struggled with student performance," said Principal Cheryl Proctor. "My focus is to improve the teaching practice and the learning outcome."
Proctor became principal last July 1, one of many new administrators brought in to reverse the low academic performance.
She is getting help from the Dream Academy, a free after-school program started at the beginning of the current school year to encourage students to improve their reading and writing skills and to motivate them to strive for their goals.
Between 50 and 60 fifth-grade students are enrolled in the program which has separate tracks for boys and girls and works alongside Leadership Broward, an initiative that allows individuals from private organizations to join with nonprofit organizations to volunteer in the community.
John Hoolihan, project coordinator for The Dream Academy, said the program has also improved student behavior and lowered student disciplinary referrals from 20 to four.
"The goal is to bring up the scores and to motivate them for life and social change," Hoolihan said. "We teach them to dream beyond their current situation and beyond what they see environmentally," Proctor said.
The county's top educator doesn't think the school will close any time soon.
"Successes don't happen overnight," said School Superintendent Robert Runcie. "It requires hard work; it requires a really good plan, dedication, commitment, passion and a supportive community. We are working to make that happen at Martin Luther King."
Runcie and District 5 School Board Member Rosalind Osgood spoke to Dream Academy students at a rap session on Jan. 7, talking about their life experiences. Max Andre, 10, a fifth-grader, said he liked speaking with Runcie and Osgood at the rap session and the lessons the Dream Academy has taught him.
"It will help me learn and give me a good education," said Max, who was recognized as one of the top students in the Dream Academy in 2013. "It has taught me how to be a better boy."
Max, who likes drawing, will be given an opportunity to expand his passion by working with a local artist.
Officials with the program say it needs more mentors from the community to work with students once a month for two hours.
"Every single one of us in our community needs to be a mentor to some child," Runcie said. "I think it is incumbent for all of us to embrace our young children and provide them with as much as we possibly can."
"We can't do it alone," he added. "Partnering with the community, figuring out ways to engage people from all sectors of Broward County, is what we are all about. We are going to continue to support this program to the greatest extent that we can."

Posted on: www.dailyguideghana.com
By William Yaw Owusu
Monday, October 12, 2015
It has emerged that former President Jerry John Rawlings once wrote to ex-Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo virtually running down former President John Agyekum Kufuor over the voters' register used in the 2004 general elections.
He claimed the register had been padded in the strongholds of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
ex-President Rawlings wrote to President Obasanjo, who was the Africa Union (AU) Chairman at the time and complained bitterly about how the Kufuor-led NPP government was going to use the register to shortchange his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which was led by former President Professor John Evans Atta Mills.
Ex-President Rawlings copied the said letter, which was written on October 24, 2004, to many world leaders at the time including Presidents George Bush Jnr and Jimmy Carter both from the United States.
Interestingly, the opposition NPP has also been complaining about the current voters' register and soliciting international support but the NDC has accused the main opposition party of impugning the image of Ghana.
Volta and other regions
He specifically said people from the Volta and the three Northern regions, which were the strongholds of then opposition NDC, were deliberately being disenfranchised by the Kufuor government through the compilation of the voters' register.
He said that 700,000 names of eligible voters principally in the Volta and Northern Regions had been removed from the register by President Kufuor deliberately or otherwise.
He also informed the world leaders that the Kufuor administration was interfering in the work of the Electoral Commission (EC) and intimidating its officials.
"In the run-up to these elections, the Government has engaged in various acts that can only derail the possibility of a free, fair and transparent process of determining the will of the Ghanaian people," he claimed.
EC in danger
"There has been interference by the government with the functions of the National Electoral Commission (NEC) as well as manipulation and intimidation of a good number of officials of the Commission which has since its establishment established a reputation for independent and effective conduct of elections in Ghana. It is now in danger of becoming a tool of the government in its determination to hang onto power against the wishes of the people, despite efforts by the Commissioner to maintain the integrity of the Commission. A clear manifestation of this is in the conduct of the exercise of voter registration carried out over the last few months," he claimed.
"Strenuous efforts have gone into seeking essentially to disenfranchise large numbers of people in areas known to be strongholds of the opposition. From the recent exhibition in public of the Electoral Register - during the period of 12th-17th October 2004 - it has come to light that approximately 700,000 names of eligible voters principally in the Volta and Northern Regions of Ghana have been removed either deliberately or in error.
"On the other hand persons, whose identity and eligibility to vote have not been certified, are being allowed to register even though the statutory period for voter registration ended some two months ago."
Pious platitudes
He said, "Attempts to draw attention to these matters have been met with defensive evasions on the part of the commission and pious platitudes from the government about commitment to free and fair elections when all the evidence points to the contrary."
Ex-President Rawlings attached a press statement issued on July 1, 2004 by then NDC presidential candidate Prof. Mills and another booklet prepared on September 1, 2004 to diplomatic missions and election observers to the letter and detailed how the NPP was going to retain power through the exercise.
Party Police
Ex-President Rawlings also accused the NPP government of training and arming foreign mercenaries as well as forming special party police purposely to do the bidding of the government in the election, saying "in the face of these reports the government and its security apparatus resort to issuing false alarms about coup plots involving members of the NDC, particularly myself."
Media monopoly
He said the NPP government was "manipulating the minds of the people in relation to positive political exchange, Ghanaian people- literate, semi-literate and illiterate."
He also said the NPP government had created "monopoly and intimidating grip on media exposure in their favour to the detriment of democracy, justice and free and fair election, and the rights of all other political parties in the system."
Vote buying
"Take the pathetic situation of blatantly and literally misusing and distributing state funds and resources to all levels of citizens from chiefs down to the ordinary man, to influence votes. This is a violation and an insult to the intelligence, sensibilities and sensitivities of people. In short, their survival rests on fast-tracking the rot of our body-politic and society.
"Members of the incumbent government have at various times in their careers been involved in governance. It is most unfortunate that in their present situation, their fear and reluctance to allow or encourage good governance is at the top of the agenda. Press, media and Judiciary manipulation is used to cover up amazing levels of blatant corruption.
"Their very desperate measures to hold onto power are simply to cover up the serious nature of their crimes and misdeeds. President Kufuor must be made aware that anything short of free and fair electoral process can only lead to a derailment of our democracy."

"White people are in a position of power in this country because of racism. The question is: Are they brave enough to use that power to speak against the system that gave it to them?
So I'm asking you to help me. Notice this. Speak up. Don't let it slide. Don't stand watching in silence. Help build a world where it never gets to the point where the Samaritan has to see someone bloodied and broken.
As for me, I will no longer be silent.
I'm going to try to speak kindly, and softly, but that's gonna be hard. Because it's getting harder and harder for me to think about the protection of White people's feelings when White people don't seem to care at all about the loss of so many Black lives." John Metta

D.O.E. ft. Northside Rydaz - Till My Death Day
- Artist: D.O.E.
- Track: Till My Death Day ft. Northside Rydaz
- Album: TBA
Coming from Northside Queens, D.O.E. is the next talent to come up under Timbaland's Mosley Music Group. The MC was signed to Beat Club Records (Timbo's previous label venture) before it disbanded, and has been patiently awaiting his time to shine, having released several mixtapes (most notably including a Scott Storch diss) locally in the meantime. Now D.O.E. is stepping into the limelight (which he is sharing with his crew, the Northside Rydaz) on his newest buzz single, Till My Death Day, which is basically an old-schoolesque East Coast cut about the rawness of hood life, and how to remain loyal to the game. This won't be the chart hit that Mosley Music is used to churning out, but it will still be bumping in the underground and on mixtapes, just like every street single should.

Last year's winner was Debi Bradshaw. My sweet friend Debi is so deserving of this award. She has been a walking zombie for the last two years with her sweet son who just has had nonstop sleep problems. Between that and contracting a long illness herself that has kept her awake, she needs REST, big time. But she still manages to have a smile on her face and is so compassionate and giving to her son and others. She could use some encouragement (and a full night's sleep).
Sleepless Mommy
Deb Longua-Zamero
I would love to nominate my amazing wife for every category. Deb gave up 20 years as a successful Designer to stay home with Luca (24/7) for 5 yrs. Never had a nanny, sitter, or any help. She does it all. When clients came a calling, Luca attended all the meetings. Not always did that go smoothly...one time, Deb was in a construction meeting with 10 men (Contractors, Architects, Engineers), and Luca pulled put a maxi pad on the conference table! Ugh!
Laura Gail Diamond
Laura Gail has four children and has the patience like a saint. Two of her children have special needs. She has no help at home. Not even an occasional date night with her husband, who works over 60 hours a week. Laura Gail is working herself as well in a successful business of her own. She truely is the glue that holds her household together. Everyone comes before her. She wakes up at 5 am and does not lay down until 1:30 am. From Dr. app to therapy app to fun times for kids non stop.
Jammie Thompson
This married mother of two works 3 jobs and still manages to keep it all together. She works with special needs babies in the morning and grade school kids after school them goes home to her own two. Gets home work, cleaning cooking and hygiene all done to keep the 7:00 bedtime in tact. She also has a photography business that she squeezes in and I don't know how. Weekends are strictly for her kids, play dates, dinner or having a movie day. She is the absolute best and can do it all I wish I can nominate her for them all.
Trina Fenton
Trina not only is an AMAZING mother to her 1 1/2 year old daughter Miranda, but she also works full time AND participates in tons of mommy events which she writes about on her blog, she's very involved in social media and last - but certainly not least - she's been a huge help and amazingly supportive to me personally as I've been going through my own pregnancy. I couldn't think of someone who deserves this award more!

Southern League: Harrow Borough 3 Hendon 1
PUBLISHED: 18:30 26 December 2018 | UPDATED: 22:13 26 December 2018
There were many reasons for the Harrow faithful to feel thoroughly happy after their Boxing Day derby win against the Greens.
Regaining fourth spot; a first home win on December 26 since 1985; a sixth home league win on the trot; 13 points from six games in December; a third successive points collection having conceded the first goal.
Mark McLeod was away, as he always is at Christmas, and Frank Keita's injury on Saturday kept him out. But George Fenton had served his suspension after his dismissal at Taunton and returned at centre-back.
New signing Nathaniel Oseni was alongside him and Shaun Preddie as Steve Baker reverted to a back-three for the first time in recent weeks. Jordan Ireland moved forward to start for the first time in his preferred position in midfield.
On a very mild December lunchtime, Preddie was caught dawdling on the ball in the sixth minute as former Harrow man Shaun Lucien robbed him and motored into the area.
Preddie bundled him over and German slotted home the resulting penalty to give the visitors a sixth-minute lead.
But Harrow took just eight minutes to equalise, as Ryan Moss rose above the visiting defence to power home a header from Michael Bryan's corner.
Preddie then had a header deflect onto the post, though referee Ellsmore had blown for an infringement, and Ireland hooked the ball high and wide when he was first to Boness's punch clear of another Bryan corner.
At the other end Josh Andrew cleared off the line when Murphy-McVey was highest to a right-wing corner and German put a header wide for Hendon, with Bryan curling a free-kick over at the other end.
Preddie's header from Bryan's free-kick was held by Boness, before a slick Harrow move ended with Kearney turning to shoot over.
Bryan then sent Kearney in for a low drive from the edge of the box that Boness dived and held. But Hendon ended the half with some pressure, Olomowewe heading wide from Chappell's corner, Mbengui shooting over, and Oseni ending a good debut half with some calm work in his own area to clear up a dangerous situation.
Hendon continued in the ascendancy as the second period began and Hafed Al-Droubi saved at the feet of Hippolyte-Patrick after German got past Preddie, who then made a fine tackle on German.
Al-Droubi then came off his line very quickly to save with his feet from Hippolyte-Patrick. However, it was Harrow who took the lead in the 61st minute.
Hendon will not have been happy that Harrow were able to take a quick free-kick while it seemed that referee Ellsmore was ticking-off Locke, the offender.
But take it they did, with Bryan the quick-thinker, and he sent Ryan Haugh away on the left. His squared cross was met by the incoming Jordan Ireland who rammed home his first goal for Harrow from about six yards out.
The goal sent confidence flowing through Harrow. Kearney got into the box on the left, turned inside but saw his shot blocked, while Boness made a fine punch clear from Andrew's cross under heavy pressure. Bryan's shot was charged down and Lewis Cole, having yet another outstanding game, drove over.
A Cole free-kick was deflected wide and Andrew's 20-yarder with the outside of his foot flew narrowly over.
It was 3-1 after 78 minutes, though, as Moss cushioned a header into Kearney's path and he turned a defender and placed the ball past Boness's left hand from 15 yards.
Both the Harrow striking duo are now on 11 league goals for the campaign and Kearney has got there in only 14 appearances.
Al-Droubi made another quick run from his goal to clear, a Bryan shot went wide after great work by Cole and Andrew, while Moss had a header saved from Haugh's cross and Hendon substitute Crichlow cut in from the left but blazed over.
Harrow sub Anthony O'Connor, also back from suspension, created the final opportunity of the afternoon as he raced up the right and put in a low cross that Moss met at the same time as Boness, the ball going wide of the far post and both players needing treatment afterwards.
Up to fourth, Harrow go again at The Rogers Family Stadium on Saturday, when the visitors are a Kings Langley side who have been in good recent form but who came a cropper by 3-0 today at Chesham United.
Hendon, now down to eighth, return to action on New Year's Day when they host Chesham United.
Harrow: Al-Droubi, Andrew, Haugh, Preddie, Fenton, Oseni, Kearney (O'Connor 88), Ireland, Moss, Bryan (Pearce 90), Cole. Unused subs: Ismajli, Elsahib.
Hendon: Boness, Alexander-Greenaway, Chappell, Murphy-McVey (Hunte 74), Olomowewe, Locke, Mbengui (Brown 73), Harriott, German, Hippolyte-Patrick, Lucien (Crichlow 68). Unused subs: Abrahams, McGleish.

Most career problems stem from the fact that we are almost naturally pre-disposed to pick terrible first jobs! We initially think we are picking a grand great job then it turns out to be the wrong choice. It is almost impossible to pick a good job on the first try, especially if making the choice when not well informed. So get informed or don't expect to be the exception!
According to Economist Neil Howe, only a mere 5% of people are able to find the right job at their first time of asking. These "fast starters", as he terms them, are individuals who are generally less innovative, less creative as well as not adventurous. This combination of traits makes them extremely conventional and therefore structured and common work is ideal for them.
For example, an individual really good at computers may be highly skilled and comfortable when it comes to the programming aspects but will be beyond their depth in when it comes to computer graphics. This shows an individual who is naturally a high logical thinker but has a low ability to think innovatively and design new things.
So why aspire to be one of these people, these so-called "fast starters"? Why not try leap to your dreams and be the best you can?
Gain the necessary information to help you make that right decision at the first time of asking! Here are guidelines to help you:
- Take a career test and know your aptitude
Establish your likely strengths and areas for improvement. You should find out your areas of high, medium and low aptitude while making this decision. Always strive to choose a career that high aptitude areas are applied to the maximum. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for help
- Keep calm and don't believe the hype.
A quick look at lawyers on TV makes it the career to choose, right? However, do you know the daily activities or the work that goes into making a successful law career? Find out and be informed.
- Are you picking a job title or choosing a lifestyle?
Have a full understanding of the lives of the people you see and aspire to emulate and ask yourself, "What do I want to do for life?" Realize that you just can't have it; you have to lead the life your mentors/role models led to get there!
For instance, you want to be an entrepreneur? Are you ready for the tough financial days, a lot of commitment leaving little time for much else all the while with the possibility of company collapse? All this before the startup is stable! Make sure to fully understand what your job will entail.
- Do the work.
Gain the necessary requirements to allow you to pursue the career of your choice and finally get focused and set your career goals, and grow wings to your dream career avoiding all the misery of the wrong career choice!

Rommel's Half Track
Scale: 1:32
General Rommel was often known to be in the field watching the situation on the battlefield whilst protected in his standard Sd.Kfz 250/3 Semi-Tracked Reconnaissance Car. Rommel named this car "Greif" (meaning "Griffon"). This kit comes with a model figure of the General himself, his driver and his observer.
