Following the inception of Mass Effect 3 on the Cerberus Daily News Forums, the Alliance News Network released periodic news stories covering major events throughout the Reaper War until the events of the Final Battle of Earth. Following this, the Cerberus Daily News site "relaunched" (ostensibly by a small group of bored salarians), and fan-made articles began being run on the site once more – this time, from the perspective of the "post-Reaper War" universe.

02/01/12 - Ashland criticized for Fernandez comments
Aish Ashland is in hot water today, over comments she recently made about Maria Fernandez. Following the Bekenstein opening of the newest Visions nightclub, Ashland was asked about the conductor by Eye on the Galaxy reporter Nyessi T'Byer. "I have no sympathy for Fernandez," Ashland replied. "She doesn't support in-utero modification, and that's what happens to people without it. It's not just the illness, either. I mean, have you looked at her? She's fat." Although Fernandez herself has not issued a statement, Ashland's comments have sparked harsh criticism on the extranet, with well-known human celebrity blogger Devon Starlight referring to her as a Wizard of Oz celebrity: "She's the little rich girl with no heart, no brain, and no courage."
02/02/12 - Intai'Sei gunman not competent to stand trial
Intai'Sei Colonial Court judge Deonte Kon ruled yesterday that Darren Painter, accused of murdering two colonial police officers and the daughter of Councilor Korat Udorn, is incapable of understanding the charges against him and cannot stand trial. Painter has been undergoing psychiatric evaluation at an undisclosed Alliance facility since his initial hearing. Records released by his attorneys state that Painter has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Despite treatment with powerful anti-psychotic medications, Painter has assaulted facility staff, filled journals with unintelligible rants, and was recently placed on suicide watch. Judge Kon ordered Painter indefinitely committed to the secure facility, subject to periodic review of his mental state. Judge Kon also ordered all evidence and testimony in the case preserved so that it can be used in a future trial if Painter's condition ever improves. [Via the Thoreau Republic]
02/03/12 - Maitland's renegade flagship issues anti-Alliance statement
Alliance diplomats are scrambling today in response to a statement from the renegade Maitland colony frigate Coromandel. The statement, carried by an unmanned drone into the contested system and broadcast to all planetary networks, comes from Coromandel's Captain Joseph Denton, who states his and his crew's intention to conduct what he calls "a campaign of harassment" against Alliance interests, both to secure his own colony's independence and to demonstrate to its neighbors that the Alliance can be resisted. Diana Julien, the Alliance diplomat who led the effort to secure Maitland's membership, issued a statement in response flatly denying Denton's allegations that the colony's referendum on the matter was rigged. "I understand Captain Denton's feelings," Julien said. "Many in the Terminus systems distrust the Alliance, and it will take time for us to demonstrate that membership does not mean sacrificing a colony's independence and identity. But Captain Denton's fellow Maitlanders freely chose this course, and I appeal to him to respect their wishes and give us a chance to prove we're not the enemy he and his crew believe we are." Sources indicate the Alliance Navy has sent additional units to reinforce the Maitland patrol force.
02/04/12 - Deal reached at Prothean hostage site
Good news from the Illuminated Primacy today, where hostage negotiator Larus Kalot has announced a deal with Bindo and its followers. Following nearly three weeks of heated negotiations, Bindo and its team have agreed to release their hostages, and turn themselves over to Primacy authorities. In return, it has been agreed that only adherents of the Enkindler religion will examine Halo of Light's recently discovered site. Bindo has given in on its demands that the scientific community repudiate the recent mass relay findings, and that access to all Prothean sites be limited. Under the agreement, Bindo is allowed one day to prepare a statement to the galaxy. It will then release the hostages and surrender to the authorities.
February 2012 – Week Two
02/05/12 - Religious figure and hostages killed
Tragedy on Halo of Light, today, where Bindo, its followers, and its hostages have been killed in a massive explosion. Trouble started in the late morning, when Bindo refused to follow an agreement reached with hostage negotiators. Instead of surrendering, the religious figure told authorities, "This one has changed its mind. It has grown fond of the Enkindler artifacts. It is not ready to give them up. It, as well as the others, wishes to stay with them." Following the announcement, a drell infiltration team entered the site. The explosion occurred several minutes later, killing everyone within the site, and reportedly destroying all Prothean artifacts. Hostage negotiator Larus Kalot would not talk to reporters, and neither the Illuminated Primacy nor the Citadel Council would confirm reports that the infiltration team was led by a turian Spectre, who was also killed in the explosion.
02/06/12 - Commentators face off on genetic engineering
In response to the debate over genetic modification that has been sparked by the illness of Maria Fernandez, Trans-human activist Melissa Gebrezghi faced off with Alliance Civil Liberties Coalition head Wolfgang Hartmann in a Future Content Corporation broadcast debate. Gebrezghi argued that the Alliance should not allow parents to opt out of in-utero modifications for serious illnesses. "We'd arrest parents who poison their children," she said. "But it's okay for them to force their children to live with severe, possible fatal, genetic illnesses?" Hartmann rebutted that medical decisions should be in the hands of parents. "Free society depends on choice," he said. "Are we to force submission to medical treatments? How is that freedom?"
02/07/12 - Terra Nova gears up for ExByArc

02/08/12 - Former Maitland flagship cripples Alliance supply vessel
The Maitland colony is under martial law tonight, following an apparently coordinated attack by the renegade warship Coromandel and sympathizers on Maitland that has left one Alliance vessel a wreck, and severely shaken local confidence in the Alliance Navy's ability to maintain order in the region. Alliance cruiser squadron 537 was drawn out of position with an electronic warfare drone mimicking a frigate's emissions signature, then a vessel positively identified as Coromandel revealed herself from behind Maitland's larger moon and made a hit-and-run attack on SSV Ericsson, squadron 537′s munitions and fuel supply ship, causing severe damage to the tanker's cargo areas and forcing her evacuation. Efforts to intercept Coromandel before she escaped the system were hampered by a shock attack on the planet's surface, where insurgents detonated a bomb in the Signals Tracking Center, the facility responsible for coordinating the system's remote sensor network.
Alliance Rear Admiral Zacarías issued a statement following the incident, reassuring Maitland's citizens of his squadron's operational capability regardless of the loss of the Ericsson, and emphasising the threat posed by Captain Denton's operations. "Denton is not some romantic Robin Hood," the Admiral pointed out. "His people have murdered their fellow Maitlanders in the STC bombing. I'm confident the colony is behind us one hundred percent in our mission to bring him to justice."
02/09/12 - ExByArc festival opens to roaring crowds
Speaking at X57 Memorial Plaza before the kickoff concert of ExByArc, festival organizer Penn Malvern took a few minutes to thank the assembled fans. "Fifteen years ago, we had a one-night concert and two second-run indie movies. Look how far we've come. People from all over the galaxy come here to share their art, their movies, their songs, and their stories with all of us. That's beyond cool. That's beyond excellent. That's extraordinary. And it's all done by and for you – the fans." Malvern then offered the words that have opened every ExByArc for 15 years: "Be peaceful, be generous, have fun, and enjoy the show!" The show's lead act, spacer rock quartet The Navigators, opened the concert with a special tribute to the victims and survivors of the 2183 X57 terrorist plot against Terra Nova, the debut of their new single "Calling All Heroes."

02/10/12 - Jana Synesrix concert ends in riot at ExByArc
Turian singer/songwriter Jana Synesrix's performance at ExByArc ended with controversy and police sirens last night. Synesrix, a native of the separatist-leaning Galatana colony and an outspoken separatist supporter, burst onto the galactic scene in 2184 after serving a six year stint in a Hierarchy prison. During her concert at the Orpheum concert hall, Synesrix repeatedly attacked the Hierarchy for "militarism" and accused it of sapient rights violations, culminating with her song "The Judgment Stone" about the 2140 Ciraciian Massacre on Galatana. Leaving with the crowd in an uproar, Synesrix returned with an encore – a cover of an early 20th Century human showtune, "Pirate Jenny," a graphic tale about a young hotel maid's murderous revenge on an abusive town with the help of a pirate gang and their "Black Freighter." Synesrix ended the song saying, "And all you Hierarchy beasts, the Black Freighter's coming for you too." Chaos ensued; approximately 40 turian concertgoers were arrested by Scott City Police for inciting a riot after they rushed the stage, and Synesrix herself was escorted from the hall under heavy guard. Synesrix's publicist has refused to comment.

02/11/12 - Auteur's daugher comes into her own at ExByArc
Kayana Fannus, daughter of legendary drell actor/director Fell Fannus, is making waves at ExByArc this year with the premiere of her first feature film, Rakhana Siha. The younger Fannus directed and starred in the film, which was produced by her father. She portrays a wounded Compact soldier who seeks physical and spiritual healing by returning to the drell homeworld of Rakhana and living in the ruins of a monastery. While there, she gradually befriends a tribe of nomads, who she ultimately defends against Compact drell who seek to uproot the tribe to join the Compact. Response has been overwhelmingly positive. Jonah Jessup of the Scott Examiner praised Fannus' performance for "its seamless blend of her father's intense method acting and her own character-driven style," while Naisa D'Vell of Thessia Screen and Stage said, "Rakhana Siha brings Rakhana to life: epic, haunting, and beautiful." Speaking at the Festival Director's Roundtable, young Fannus was reserved. "Dad always said, tell a story you love, and do it justice, and your audience will follow. And he was right."

02/12/12 - Fernandez rejects role in debate
In an interview with Alliance Today's Minna Wahab, Maria Fernandez rejected the debate over genetic modification that her illness has sparked. "I think my parents did the right thing," she said. "If I were a parent, I'd have done the same. But I don't think that genetic engineering should be illegal. I just think it should be the choice of the parents." As Fernandez strolled along a beach with Wahab, she told the reporter that she has no regrets. "I've lived a long life. I've accomplished a lot. With medical treatments available today, I can live a lot longer. But the moral is still to do what you can, when you can."
02/13/12 - MCS Coromandel reinforced by rebel vessels
The situation in the Maitland region continues to deteriorate for the Systems Alliance. Not only has the Alliance Navy failed to locate the renegade MCS Coromandel, two other system patrol vessels, light frigate TCN Califia from Thornton and heavy scout MRS Fidanza from Mindaribba, have apparently joined Coromandel in self-imposed exile and opposition to the Alliance, and three Alliance merchant vessels have now been attacked, including the MSV Hélène Blondeau which was lost with all hands. Both the Thornton and Mindaribba colonial governments have disavowed any connection with the rogue vessels. However, Alliance diplomat Diana Julien has accused both of using a legal fiction to claim neutrality while their vessels support terrorist acts. In return the Thornton administration has issued the extraordinary claim that the Hélène Blondeau was deliberately targeted by an Alliance Navy destroyer. Alliance Rear Admiral Zacarías has denied any such operation and dismissed as forgeries the sensor records provided by Thornton purporting to show the vessel responsible.
02/14/12 - Survey team quarantined
An ExoGeni survey team has been quarantined, today, following an attempt to chart the third planet in the Attican Traverse's Randstad System. The team was scouting an island continent in the southern hemisphere to determine if the garden world is suitable for colonization, when three team members reported feeling severe pain on exposed skin. It appears they came into contact with a previously unknown fungus that attaches to animal life and rapidly consumes its flesh. Two of the exposed team members have been reported dead, while a third has had a limb amputated, and is said to be in critical condition. ExoGeni, meanwhile, has not commented on its colonization plans for the planet.
02/15/12 - MSelf App pushes technical, legal boundaries
Among the new apps on display at the ExByArc Interactives Festival on Terra Nova, one in particular is turning the heads of designers and governments alike. MSelf, created by Illium-based salarian-human startup K-Wave, is a "personal avatar." The program works by tracking a user's movements, purchases, and communications and heuristically distilling them into a VI program that can, with enough input, be used to predict the likes and dislikes of the person it models. K-Wave Chief Developer Kristof Benz said, "The thing with most VI's is that they only record what a person consciously does or says. By tracking how our customers live, work, and communicate, we make it possible for other people to predict how they'd react to everything from a sales pitch to a pickup line." Though VI reconstruction of living personalities is illegal under Council law, K-Wave claims that its software complies with the law because the avatars generate only a range of probable responses and nothing that could be used to create a specific response. Nevertheless, staffers from the Citadel Council's Technology Review Commission have been observed showing particular interest in the K-Wave booth.

02/16/12 - Retired official warns of economic risk
Are galactic financial institutions sitting on a time bomb? In a controversial speech to a Presidium think tank, Dr. Torm Owel, a retired official with the Citadel Council's Ministry of Finance, claimed that colonial-backed securities could potentially crash the galactic economy. "C-space financial institutions are binge lending to risky, Earth-clan colonization efforts," Dr. Torm Owel said. "These loans have been repackaged and sold throughout the galaxy as 'safe.' It's an economic apocalypse waiting to happen." A brief statement from the Ministry of Finance dismissed Torm Owel's claims as "alarmist." Meanwhile, Baas Nevras, a spokesperson for the Unified Bank of Irune, was no kinder: "Torm Owel's claims are based on faulty logic, and a fundamental misunderstanding of both colonial-backed securities and the galactic economy."
02/17/12 - Maitland conflict ends with violent resolution
The confrontation surrounding the Maitland colony came to a stunning climax earlier today, as the renegade warship MCS Coromandel engaged Alliance cruiser squadron 537 in battle, inflicting damage on Rear Admiral Zacarías's flagship SSV Khartoum before being destroyed. Coromandel entered the system at 19:30 local time, and broadcast a short message in which Captain Joseph Denton restated his belief that the referendum in which the Maitland colony agreed to join the Alliance was a fraud, but denied any connection to any organization beyond his own crew and denounced those responsible for the STC bombing which killed 37 Maitland citizens and 8 Alliance technicians. Coromandel then shut down communications and, with her weapons and defensive systems active, entered squadron 537′s engagement range. SSV Khartoum and SSV Luxor fired warning shots and when Coromandel returned fire, damaging Khartoum's weapons, all four Alliance cruisers opened fire, inflicting severe damage on the Maitland frigate, which subsequently exploded, likely as a result of core damage.
The Maitland administration and Alliance issued a joint statement expressing regret for the loss of life, and entreating other independence groups to cease anti-Alliance activity. Citing the continued operation of rogue units originating from other colonies, the state of martial law in Maitland has been extended.
02/18/12 - Awards, surprises, raloi rockers close out ExByArc
The ExByArc Festival concluded last night with the Exodus Awards, based on votes by festival attendees. Kayana Fannus' Rakhana Siha took home the prize for Best Feature Vid, with Gather winning Best Documentary and Dreaming: Concerning Flight winning for Best Short Vid. In music, Maya and the Azure Supernovas won Best Album for The Pieces Matter, with the Navigators winning Best Single for "Calling All Heroes," and kro-core trio Solid Rawkh taking home the Best Artist prize. And in a stunning upset in Interactives, K-Wave's ballyhooed MSelf VI lost in Best Program by less than 30 votes to PalavenData's OmniMeld, a VI-based peer-to-peer ad hoc networking system. After the awards came the festival's concluding concert, an all-night affair at the White Rocks Amphitheatre outside Scott. This year, the honor of closing out ExByArc went to folk-jam group Featherstar, the first raloi band to attend, who wowed the crowd with soulful folk ballads from their native Turvess and covers of everything from human spacer rock to salarian spoken-word. As the concert ended at dawn, lead singer Dazhire spoke for the assembled fans: "My friends: good bye, good morning, and see you all next year!"

02/19/11 - Nos Astra police officers arrested
Seven members of Illium's Nos Astra Police Department have been arrested, today, on charges of blackmail and misuse of police equipment. The officers, led by Captain Nifla Telheim, are accused of illegally using police surveillance equipment to spy on wealthy Nos Astra residents. Captain Telheim and her fellow officers would allegedly gather information on embarrassing or illicit activities, which they would then use as blackmail against the subjects of the surveillance. This behavior came to light after Fraga Libos, a Salarian Union citizen with a home and trade operations on Illium, was arrested on separate charges and revealed that he had been making regular payments to Telheim in return for her silence. A Nos Astra PD spokesperson told reporters that the department plans to take steps to rebuild public confidence, and said, "Rest assured, all members of the blackmail ring are in custody."
02/19/11 - Medical essay sparks controversy
A recent essay in the Republics Journal of Medicine has sparked controversy. In the essay, Dr. Nara Talinaga argues that medical technology might soon be capable of resuscitating individuals who have been dead for months, even if they suffered massive trauma. The resulting debate on the limits of technology has proven controversial, as has a debate over the ethics of bringing someone back to life after they have been dead for an extended period. Dr. Talinaga herself notes that, "Thankfully, it is likely that we have years for discussion before the relevant advancements are made."

Great doctor. He listened to everything I had to say and really thought about the best approach. He was able to diagnose and prescribe medication to fix a GI problem I've had for 10 years after just a couple of appointments and one procedure. I'm no longer in pain everyday because of him.

Rudest doctor I've ever been to
We brought some lab results from a diff doctor, dr. Mavec refused to listen to our questions, he got stuck on " I don't know how to interpret this results, ask a doctor who ran them". Which we didn't ask him to interpret the results. Then he said that he doesn't understand how a 300 pound person can be malnourished, which after confronting him about it he told us to leave his office. Extremely rude doctor! I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy!

Dr. Mavec should not be practicing medicine. He does not care about his patients and has made a deadly mistake on my grandaughter, leaving part of a tool, or something metal in her after trying to take out a stent he had put in previously. It was only found after another doctor ordered a barium swallow and it showed up on the x-ray did they find this out. He must have known because a part of the tool was missing. Right after he did this he resigned from the case. Now they cannot get any surgeons to operate on her to take this piece of metal out because it is in such a dangerous place. I don't know all the terms for this but I do know that anyone having GI problems should steer clear of this doctor. He is deadly.My grandaughter is 26 years old and has a new baby.

Top style tips to look smart every morning
Every day when you enter the office, you come across many people who look fresh and never tired out. You might be wondering whether they are shopping too frequently, or it's their perfume that's doing the magic. Getting styled for a casual day in the college and a day in the office is easy, provided you pay attention to a few doable and easy things. We bring the most well tested tips for that fresh and new look every day. You just need to ensure that you have the right essentials meant for styling and dressing.
Get the pony: If the neat look is your forte, and you don't have the perfect straight hair, all you need is some spray and hair straightening. You don't need to rush anywhere, but you just need to get a pony. A pony with the right of hair spray can give a polished look for long hours in the morning. Alternatively, the side braid is much in action, and if you have frizzy hair, you can think of that. In fact, a fishbone braid is the most cult way to look smart every morning.
Get the manicure at home: All you need for this is good 10 minutes when you are in the washroom. Just ensure that your nail paint is in place, and there is no chipping off from the edges. Every morning, you must make sure that your nails are clean and in shape. Most good looking women don't flung dirty or unpolished nails. Get the top coat of your nail paint reapplied every three days.
Get a fashionable watch: Watches can make any lady look much more serious than she actually is. All you need is the right watch with the right dress, and you will look much more organised than ever. Watches are actually quite an essential even for the casual days. You can get a cool and casual look when you want or can just be the perfect corporate woman.
Get the makeup essentials: Every face is different and needs different kind of handling. You need to make sure that you are using the right makeup items. A perfect looking gloss and mascara are meant for every woman, which you can alternatively use with a kohl pencil or shadow colours. Just ensure that you don't leave your mascara unbalanced and don't overdo your makeup.
Get a balanced look with accessories: Like it or not, most women either underplay their looks with accessories, or just wear too much. Modern fashion is all about getting what is right for a dress and that too in balance. Avoid being too much loud or too much harsh on yourself with the use of necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Wear things for a smart look but in balance.
Fashion for every morning means being tidy and neat in your getup, and you don't need a fortune for that. Just be as much in balance as you can, and styling won't be a problem.

The workers at a lunch-hour meeting decided on the action, claimed that the board had continued to play ignorant to their outstanding issues.
The general manager human resources and general manager customer services were suspended yesterday by the board.
General secretary of the PNG Energy Workers Union Santee Margis claimed the suspension of the HR general manager clearly showed that the workers' issues would never be resolved.
He said the PNG Power workers had workplace grievances and that they had been calling on successive boards, including the current one, to address all the outstanding matters.

Hi guys, how are you? I hope you all had a great week. I had a very busy but productive week, but my reading experience was not as good as I had hoped for. I managed to read and review two books but did not enjoy them as much as I would have loved.
Last week on the blog:
- Weekly Recap – I am Suffering a Book-Hangover (March 19, 2017)
- Book Review – Shade's Lady by Joanna Wylde – 3.5 stars
- Latest Book News – New Releases, Sales/Bargains, Pre-Orders (March 22, 2017)
- Book Review – Every Little Thing (Hart's Boardwalk #2) by Samantha Young – 3.5 stars
What I am currently reading and will be reading this week (book haul):
I am currently reading Written In Red by Anne Bishop and planning to read the rest of the books in the series this week. OMG, I am loving it. Yes, I know. I can't believe I've just heard of this series recently. Maybe because I have mostly focused on contemporary romance these last two years. Since I started blogging, I've got a lot of recommendations that I would not otherwise have got. Thank you!! 😀
- Written In Red (The Others #1) – gifted by my friend Christy's Love of Books
- Murder Of Crows (The Others #2) by Anne Bishop – purchased
- Vision In Silver (The Others #3) by Anne Bishop – purchased
- Marked In Flesh (The Others#4) by Anne Bishop – purchased
- Etched In Bone (The Others #5) by Anne Bishop – purchased

Have you read this series? 😀

In response to today's Daily Post: Feeling Fancy – one day of unlimited funds for any and all luxuries I can't normally afford.
Perhaps you wouldn't think of it as a luxury item, but I would focus on shelter.
I think of the time my friends and family, and people I don't know, spend working to earn money to secure shelter. This time is finite and precious and if you're lucky what you're doing to earn the money feeds your soul. But I think that's rare.
I like my job. I'm lucky that way. But if I didn't need the money, I wouldn't be doing it. Housing takes up so much of my income, if I didn't have to pay that I would be free to work less hours at my job. That free time could be spent with friends, family and loved ones. I'd paint, write and enjoy the natural world. Listen to the birds. Walk on the beach. Slow down and really live.
So on my day of unlimited funds, I would pay off my mortgage. I'd pay off my friends' mortgages. I'd buy a house for my daughter and my brother. I'd pay off the mortgages of all my neighbors, close off the street and hire a band. We could all dance and eat and get to know each other.
With unlimited funds for one day I could buy shelter for everyone, everywhere (unlimited, right?). In one day we could wipe out homelessness.
Sure, there's lots of issues in the world, and they're complicated. I don't mean to be simple minded and think any one thing will solve our problems. But shelter for all would be a start. Maybe with all that free time we create we'd be able to address the rest.

WALES coach Steve Hansen believes he has selected a side that can beat the world champions England on Saturday.
Hansen has made two changes from the side who lost against France with Robin McBryde and Duncan Jones brought into the front row to shore up a creaking scrum.
Veteran Scarlets hooker McBryde missed Wales' narrow defeat to France with tonsillitis, but has recovered to reclaim his place in the starting line-up from Warriors' Mefin Davies, who drops to the bench.
McBryde is joined by Ospreys prop Duncan Jones who returns from a wrist injury to replace Iestyn Thomas as Hansen attempts to find the right front-row combination to take on England.
There is still no room for Cardiff Blues flanker Martyn Williams with Hansen retaining the back-row trio who started against France.
The Wales coach has pointed to Ireland's example of how to beat England on their own patch of former fortress Twickenham.
"Ireland have shown everyone that England are beatable, but England will be wanting to show the world it was a one-off bad performance.
"We need to get away to a good start. We need to get in their face from the first whistle and make it a competition right from the start. If we do that and use the ball we are in with a chance of winning.
"We've had a good week in preparation and are looking forward to going to Twickenham to play the world champions."
Wales took a shock half-time lead against England in the World Cup quarter-final, before Sir Clive Woodwards men eventually triumphed 28-17.
But Hansen dismissed this result as irrelevant to Saturday's outcome.
"Any previous meetings between these two nations, including the World Cup, are irrelevant as neither of these selected teams have played each other before."
Hansen believes the inclusion of McBryde and Jones will add an extra dimension to the Welsh forward play that was missing against France.
"Robin was originally selected for the France match and it is natural to bring him back into the side as he contributes a vast amount of experience to the front row," said Hansen.
"Duncan gives us an extra option in terms of ball carrying and he regains his place over the unfortunate Iestyn Thomas after proving his fitness."

If you're a true football fan then you know that showing your team spirit is important. So you've got jerseys, your favorite tees, sweatshirts, hats, etc all to wear during the season…but now you can rock your favorite fan gear 365 days a year because the NFL has got your back with their new apparel line that is so on trend, you can wear it everyday and not just on game day. We saw it first hand in NY and LA where we were behind the scenes at the lifestyle photo shoot with some of NFL's greats…
Such as Von Miller, from the 2016 Super Bowl champs, the Denver Broncos. His style is fun and casual so we saw him in tees with either a puffer or leather jacket and some stylish sneakers to complete the look.
The NY Jets, Eric Decker who looked super sexy in whatever he was wearing, along with retired player Charles Woodson.
And new to LA, the Rams' Todd Gurley who played tourist for the day in some of his favorite gear…of course representing his team!
To check out the new styles from the NFL go to nflshop.com
We caught up with former President of the United States, Bill Clinton in the Bronx, where he was making his rounds that week, reminding all to get out and vote since we're just a week out from the New York primary election.
He reminded us about how his wife, Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary has always fought for us in the past and why we should vote for her…of course. But as he was speaking, I couldn't help think about how surreal all of this is to him, going around and campaigning again but this time not for himself. Some days he probably gets a few déjà vu moments. And if Hillary wins, he'll be getting a lot of those moments when he's back in the White House.
Either way, his speech was charismatic and to the point and the feedback was positive, so he did a good job. So good where Hillary be our next president? Only time will tell…
We all know his Party Rockin jams from LMFAO….but now Redfoo is going solo and taking things up a notch with a new debut album, a fashion line and of course more PARTYING! He stopped by the LifeMinute offices to tell us all about it…
And of course, as soon as you look at him you think nothing but fun….BUT there is a whole other side to the party rocker that most don't know. Like, bet you wouldn't have guessed that he used to be a day trader and is really good with numbers. His favorite hobby is putting data into spreadsheets. He likes to see the big picture all spread out in front of him.
Redfoo also shared that his dad, Berry Gordy (founder of Motown Records) told him he didn't have the voice for rap. But did that stop him….hells no! It actually made him push even harder for what he wanted and now look where he is.
To check out the rest of our interview with the Party Rocker and more about his new album Party Rock Mansion, go to lifeminute.tv/music

#SHAREHUMANITY was the theme of the night and the kick off to World Humanitarian Day
Humanitarian workers, media innovators, celebrity musicians and influencers, all came together to celebrate. What are they celebrating you might ask? Well for a few days leading up WHD, celebs and other influencers took to social media to donate their feeds to tell stories of humanitarian strength and to spread awareness of #SHAREHUMANITY.
World Humanitarian Day falls on 19 August, the day when, in 2003, 22 aid workers were killed in a bombing at the UN headquarters in Baghdad. It's a day to pay tribute to all people affected by humanitarian crises and those who lost their lives in service and to celebrate the spirit that inspires humanitarian work around the world.
This is more important now than ever. We should all have a greater sense of responsibility and develop a sense of global community. Hopefully WHD will inspire action so we can stand in solidarity against conflict, torture, disease, famine, suffering and the poor leadership that often turns a blind eye.

We attended a breakfast event in Arizona + Molly Ringwald hosted the event…so…ipso facto we're now in The Breakfast Club with the 80's pop princess!
We sat down with her at the 2015 Mom 2.0 Summit where she shared her Dove #BeautyStory and how for her it all stemmed from confidence within. It starts with having a real strong interior life…not just what's on the outside. So she turned to creativity to get her through her awkward teenage years. And being a mom this is something she tries to pass along to her own children.
Check out the rest of her story here… lifeminute.tv/celebrity/video/molly-ringwald-helps-inspire-women-share-their-beautystory-mom-20-summit
Another monumental moment for us at LifeMinute! Getting to hang out with Jules and Katie from The Ting Tings for an hour, chatting about Studio 54, dressing like a toddler and how not getting drunk before going on stage is really working out better than they thought.
And if you're asking yourself…who are these people?? Maybe the band name isn't ringing any bells but their hits, "That's Not My Name" and "Shut Up and Let Me Go" should definitely resonate. Did I just get you back? Good!
Their new album Super Critical is a different vibe than what we're used to hearing from this pop-duo…more of an American late 70s, early 80s disco funk thing going on. Something straight out of Studio 54, it's super fun and addicting.
Also addicting…their delicious British accents…take a listen for yourself and check out the full interview. lifeminute.tv/music/video/ibiza-usa-ting-tings-do-it-again
My favorite part was when Katie described her personal style as "dressing like a toddler." Which I guess is true but she pulls it off with ease in a leather romper, lace top, sparkles in her hair, black tights and converse sneakers. LOVE!
It's no secret that actress Sophia Bush from Chicago PD is one of those natural beauties….even People magazine seems to think so and named her one of the World's Most Beautiful Women in their latest issue. So it shouldn't be a surprise to hear she decided to do her photo shoot for the mag WITHOUT MAKEUP!!
We heard all about it when she stopped by our west coast studio. Sophia shared that it's liberating to not have any makeup on and she actually doesn't where a lot of makeup in her everyday life. As long as you can rock a bright, white smile…then you're pretty much always good to go.
Her secret weapon is a Philips Sonicare toothbrush. She got hooked on it years ago when her dentist recommended it and has been obsessed with everything Sonicare ever since. Of course it works!! Just look at those pearly whites.
She also just tried out their Philips Zoom treatment which is only a 45 minute visit to the dentist and when you come out, your teeth are up to eight shades whiter. Just 45 minutes??!! Amazing!
Check out the rest of her beauty and health secrets here… lifeminute.tv/celebrity/video/sophia-bush-life-career-and-secret-her-gorgeous-smile.

It's been a busy start to Spring at our little LifeMinute digs — just 600 square feet of cozy white couch — and it's been graced by a few of our fave celebs, from Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson to Hollywood's It Girl Jamie Chung, to the incomparable music man Wyclef Jean, spilling the scoop on what they've been up to this season…
Gettin' "Clefified" with Wyclef Jean
Now — the above is called "Clefified" and that's just what we all got (Wyclef's version of a head-band, the physical tribute to his new album Clefication) before sitting down for his interview. We haven't washed our foreheads in a week — but that's another story.
The lead single "Divine Sorrow" has been getting some serious play on our iPods since its release last November. The best we could have hoped for were some serious details on his famous collabs…from Whitney Houston to Shakira — well, we got it all, natch — but when he spontaneously broke into an acapella rendition of some old school "Gone Till November…" Well, I was seriously stoked. The album is in stores this month. It's a must listen.
Gettin' Down and Dirty…(well…Clean, actually) with JTF
Next up, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and it was awesome timing. My fab office mate (yes, you know who you are) cannot stop sneezing, so when our new favorite (self-proclaimed) neat freak and Modern Family star JTF — also a fellow allergy sufferer – let us in on his gig with AAFA and Febreze, we were thankful. He came by to share the dirt on…well, dirt…or allergens, to be exact. Turns out most of us are going about our Spring Cleaning the wrong way and stirring things up instead of removing them, so he showed us how to get the job done right. Check it out.
Yay, no more sneezing fits from our cubie roomies.
Jamie Chung's Spring Must-Haves
That's right…Jamie Chung stopped by. Now it's no secret that I love to shop (most of us at LifeMinute do) and we welcome any weather that makes it easier for us to get out and get spending. What's on our must-have list? Pretty much everything Jamie brought with her to our studio. Spoiler Alert: Jamie loves her Jergens as much as we do. Of course she does, you have to see her skin close up to fully understand. And that bod — well, she completely inspired me (and the rest of the LifeMinute team!) to start our own Pranamar Resort vacation fund. (Eat, sleep, yoga…YES please!) Her other Spring picks? A-split pencil skirts, and a fruity smoothie recipe you must try:
•1 frozen banana
•2 pitted dates
•handful of kale
•handful of blueberries
•1 scoop vanilla protein powder
•about 1-2 cups almond milk and some ice
Who knew blueberries and kale could live in perfect harmony? Yum! (Click for more)
Next week, we're on the West Coast with Sophia Bush! Have a question for this beauty? Send it this way (firstname.lastname@example.com), and we'll report back in our next blog post!

@MISC{Bogen09visualnavigation, author = {Steffen Bogen and Ulrik Brandes and Hendrik Ziezold}, title = {Visual Navigation with Schematic Maps}, year = {2009}}
A prototypical example of the operational dimensions of visual information communication is the use of schematic maps for visual navigation. The implementation of maps on location-sensitive or handheld devices has changed the preliminaries of common mapping techniques. By an analysis of selected examples, both historic and current, we want to open up the space for innovative map design options. Our approach blends art history and computer science, and is based on a systematic, operational perspective. It may be unexpected, though, that it starts from the way that graphic design supports imaginative navigation on the map, rather than considering its utility for navigation in the physical space directly.

* Says premature taxes on M-Pesa could kill industry
* Revenue growth to maintain EBITDA margin at 39.6 pct
* Lack of spectrum delays 4G technology roll-out
Kenya's top telecoms firm Safaricom expects to maintain its almost 40 percent earnings margin this year but "premature taxes" could stifle growth of lucrative mobile phone-based money transfers, its chief executive said on Tuesday.
Safaricom, 40-percent owned by Britain's Vodafone, said pretax profit climbed to 25.5 billion shillings ($304.30 million) in its year to end-march, off the back of 16 percent growth in total revenue.
The company has had a very successful year. Its 39.6 percent margin on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), is near the top of the range for telecoms globally and its shares have surged 36 percent in 2013 - twice as fast as Kenya's blue chip index.
Its promise of a 41 percent increase in dividend to 0.31 shillings per share pushed the shares another 3.6 percent higher on Tuesday.
But Chief Executive Bob Collymore was concerned that the new 10 percent tax on the cost of transfers by its M-Pesa mobile service would stifle both company revenues and the use of a service that has made transfers possible for millions of poor Kenyans.
Before mobile companies began to offer money transfer five years ago, Kenyans had to pay up to 1,000 shillings ($12) to send money by bank transfer to relatives, many of whom are living on less than a dollar a day.
Now a transfer of 500 shillings would typically cost just 25 shillings and the service is credited with making transfers usable for a third of the country's 40 million population who were cut off from traditional financial services.
"This is such a nascent industry it is important that we don't kill it at birth," Collymore said. "We are cautioning against viewing mobile telephony in general as being a bit of a milking cow."
Kenya's new government is still in the process of forming after an election in March, but its last finance minister said that the tax was not aimed at punishing success. It was imposed to bolster budget revenue at a time when ministers were battling to settle strikes by teachers and health workers.
Safaricom has done well from the service. M-Pesa contributed 22 billion of its 124 billion shillings in revenue last year. Despite the imposition of the tax in October the company handles annualised total transfers of 1.1 trillion shillings, the equivalent of 27 percent of Kenya's gross domestic product.
Safaricom raised M-Pesa tariffs after the tax hikes but shouldered some of the additional costs related to the tax - some 400 million shillings in its 2012/13 financial year.
Overall, the company's EBITDA earnings, the key measure of performance for telecom companies, grew 31 percent to 49.2 billion shillings. Its margin was up 4.5 percent compared to the same period a year earlier.
Revenues are expected to continue to grow faster than costs but M-Pesa revenue may not match the rate of growth in previous years due to the high base, the company said.
"People are used to seeing M-Pesa growth over 30 percent. That will not happen this year," said John Tombleson, the firm's chief financial officer.
Investors were also cheered by Safaricom's plan to invest more than 20 billion shillings this year in the network.
"That is a key element because it says they are viewing the industry as growing, which is really positive," said Eric Musau a research analyst at Standard Investment Bank.

It's a Wonderful Life
The Script Blogger
|It's a Wonderful Life
Still probably one of the most original Christmas movies, even though it was made over sixty years ago; but this festive Blog is not about Frank Capra's Oscar nominated film but about being a screenwriter at Christmas.
The great thing about being a screenwriter is it can take you anywhere.
|In the last few years it has taken me from the destruction of the Christmas Day Asian Tsunami, to the rolling hills of Dakota in the late nineteenth century, the foreboding alleys of East London when Jack the Ripper roamed the streets, to the current war in Afghanistan, to the cruelty at Guantanamo Bay and even to a battle two thousand years ago between the Celts and the Romans.
Recently I was in Kentucky and Beijing at the same time as I worked on two different screenplays for two different producers.
Currently I am on the Dark Side of the Moon, in Nigeria and thirteenth century England; such diversity could only be achieved by a writer.
Writing can take you anywhere, but most surprisingly it has taken me to London, Franklin Indiana and to Hollywood.
You couldn't make it up.
In many of the places my scripts have taken me the characters I met were fictitious or historical, but not so in London, Franklin, or come to that, in Hollywood.
The characters in those places were not only real; they were people making movies. I met producers, directors, actors, other writers and company executives.
It is amazing where writing stories can take a person but that is only one side of the coin; as a writer it is amazing where you can take your audience.
There should be no limit to your imagination, nothing is impossible for your characters; there are no restrictions on your space time continuum or the places you include in your stories.
The only limitations are the ones you set yourself.
This week is Christmas week, regardless of it being something you celebrate for religious reasons or not, it is difficult not to be caught up in the euphoria of Christmas parties, giving presents, receiving presents or maybe the sadness of people who live alone.
For a writer it is a wonderful time to be observant.
Currently in the UK we can watch the faces of hundreds of people on the TV news waiting at airports because of cancelled flights due to the snow, or at railway stations looking despondently at notice boards listing cancelled or delayed trains where departure times should appear.
The queues of traffic progressing a mile in five hours along a blocked highway and the kids risking life and limb descending down a steep snow covered hill on a metal tray they have borrowed from their mother's kitchen.
If you have had enough of the depressing news on the TV, just watch your relations and friends' behaviour at Christmas parties, particularly office parties, or their demeanour when opening presents and receiving something they hate or even worse a gift from somebody they forgot.
The greed and poor manners displayed by some guests at the Christmas Dinner and the acceptance of their performance by others.
Everywhere you look at Christmas it is a time that is full of wonderful ammunition for a writer to incorporate into a screenplay, at some point in the future. It is a wonderful time to see people at their best and at their worse.
Enjoy the festive season and the antics of all those you meet.
In another week it will be the January Sales and another place to observe the kindness and meanness of people sometimes witnessed in the flash of a look, a turn of a head or a word of encouragement or derision.
It is a wonderful life full of opportunities for observant writers.
Thank you everyone for the material I will use in the coming year.

Reliance Jio is touted (an attempt to sell something) as the biggest thing in the telecom industry since its establishment.
After giving sleepless nights to all the leading telecom operators and beautiful, entertaining nights to users, Jio is coming to take on the broadband/FTTH providers in the country. Reliance Jio has already started testing broadband services in Mumbai.
The company will be providing all new subscribers with a very special 'Welcome Offer' that will give them (the subscribers) a 100 MBPS fiber broadband line with a FUP of 100 GB free for the first three months! Isn't it amazing?
According to the reports, the broadband data plans for Jio GigaFiber will be available in three types and theses three categories are Silver, Gold, and Platinum. There will be a range of plans based on data speed and data volumes.
The attractive and exciting monthly broadband plans will start at a very attractive price; it's just Rs 500 for 600GB of data at 15Mbps speeds. The most wanted unlimited data plan will be available for Rs 800 at 10Mbps. There is also a one-day unlimited plan which will be priced at Rs 400 only.
The speed based monthly plans will start at 50Mbps with a data cap of 2000GB, and also it can go up to 400Mbps with 300GB data cap.
This exciting and attractive new service is currently under testing and will soon go live by mid-2017.
If you are also tired of having low speeds and poor service on providers like Airtel, Hathway, and others, then wait for Jio that will change the broadband space entirely!

This paper studies a particularly significant example the dynamics of urban transformation in Madrid's city center from the mid-1980s forward. It offers a case study of what happens when, as David Harvey has opined, modernist urban planning cedes to postmodern urban design.
The new urban plan for Madrid, completed in 1985, was a template for other planning documents done in Spain. The hall mark of the plan was to guarantee the right to the city for all residents and undo the destructive effects of the growth based plan of the 1960s. One of its most important components was a thoroughgoing renovation of the center of Madrid that area most affected by the deleterious effects of the 1960s plan.
The consequences of this planning decision for life in the city center of Madrid were enormous. A study of the process that led to them offers a significant example of the dynamics of the urban process. It reveals how a good decision, motivated by a rational desire to improve the nature of the decaying urban fabric of the center of the city and which had a number of positive effects on it, could lead to the unintended deleterious consequence.

It is still summer at most places, but not here in London though! I couldn't feel the hot and sweaty summer days this year, because the weather in London has been pretty chilly so far. After the Pure show and all the articles I have written for the upcoming autumn/winter 15, I became so inspired to create an outfit in a fall palette! Some of my personal favourite shades of the autumnal palette are the rustic tones. They are an update and a new take on the brown hues. I have picked this rustic colour suede skirt by Rare London to create this style. I opted for a black top in velvet and flat black sandals. I am also wearing a bag from River Island that has gold details. For a final touch, I added statement golden earrings and bracelet.
If you want to own a go-to skirt that is fabulous enough to take you through the whole autumn/winter season, make sure to check out the new collection of Rare London. Rare London's collections are always step ahead of the game following the latest trends. I am sure you can find something that will fit your style!
Don't forget to follow your personal style and get inspired form the fashion trends! Show me your most stylish outfit from this summer and I will feature it on Outfit of the week favourites! Submit here!
Welcome to Fashion by Reneta, guys! I am excited to present you the re-designed blog and I hope you like it! It is a lot broader in terms of content and I will post articles more often. I also have an Outfit Submit Section where you guys can post your outfits and I will pick my favourite one and publish it as the best dress of the week!
Some people see London as a hectic place, which frustrates with its intensity. I see London as a lively city full of opportunities for those who are ready to seize them and work hard. I often like to say that in London I dare to dream. Every time I go out, I see something exciting and new and I feel that this somehow arouses new ideas in me. Everything that happened here has marked my future path in life and has changed me in a better way. I have successfully graduated from university last month and I am proud to say I have First Class Honours in Fashion Marketing and Business Management! I am leaving London for a couple of months after London Fashion Week in September, but I will be back very soon! I am happy to share with you that the education was one of the many unforgettable and worthy experiences that London gave me. I am more than thrilled to say I had three amazing years here and I have met people that will stay in my life forever! I believe you can say this for every city, yet if you think your or any city is not inspiring enough, then you probably don't know much about it. Every city has a story, go out and find it. Dream and explore without limits.
Enjoy the photos and tell me which city inspires you the most and makes you feel alive! Continue Reading
