So, without further ado, here is some info about the book, a link to my review and the author spotlight questions as follows.
Following a terrible tragedy that leaves her once-perfect family shattered, Katherine Patterson moves to a new city, starts at a new school, and looks forward to a new life of quiet anonymity.
But when Katherine meets the gregarious and beautiful Alice Parrie her resolution to live a solitary life becomes difficult. Katherine is unable resist the flattering attention that Alice pays her and is so charmed by Alice's contagious enthusiasm that the two girls soon become firm friends
But being friends with Alice is complicated – and as Katherine gets to know her better she discovers that although Alice can be charming and generous she can also be selfish and egocentric. Sometimes, even, Alice is cruel.
And when Katherine starts to wonder if Alice is really the kind of person she wants as a friend, she discovers something else about Alice - she doesn't like being cast off.
Read my review here.
1. Beautiful Malice generated quite an extensive amount of interest in the publishing world. Can you tell us a little about your road to publication and how it came to be that Beautiful Malice resulted in the bidding war that it has?
The first book I ever wrote was published by a very small American e-press. I received a one hundred dollar advance and though that may seem laughable I was actually quite excited at the time. I think maybe about two people in the world read that book.
Then I wrote another two books and both of those manuscripts currently live beneath my bed. They are growing stale and dusty with neglect...
When I finished writing Beautiful Malice I started querying literary agents. I didn't want to submit directly to publishers because I'd heard quite a few scary stories about how badly publishers regard unagented manuscripts and I wanted my novel to have at least half a chance.
Getting an agent wasn't easy. I was rejected by over 70 agents throughout Australia, the US and the UK before Jo Unwin from Conville and Walsh agreed to represent me. In fact, after all those rejections I suddenly had two agents offer representation within two days. I was over the moon!
Jo and I worked together on polishing the manuscript and then submitted it simultaneously to Australian and British publishers. Within about three weeks we had an offer from Allen and Unwin in Australia and then a few weeks later another offer from Faber and Faber in the UK. It wasn't until it was submitted to Europe that it attracted a lot of attention.
The German publishers seemed to love it - and within a few days we had several publishers making offers. It went to auction (what a crazy week that was for me!) and eventually sold to Rowohlt. After that my agent submitted it to the US. The same thing happened again - another auction. By this time I seriously wondered if the world was playing some kind of cruel joke...
Apparently Beautiful Malice caused quite a stir at the Frankfurt Book Fair a few weeks later - and the book eventually sold into 36 territories.
I still pinch myself daily!
2. Your novel deals with the harmful relationships and toxic friendships, something which I think so many of us can relate to. Have you had your own share of toxic friendships? And if so, did you draw any inspiration from your personal experiences for Beautiful Malice?
I think most writers draw from their own life experiences in their work. It doesn't mean you have to have had exactly the same experience, but it means you use your own emotions and feelings (and imagination) to try and create something that feels authentic and believable.
I have never had a friend quite as crazy as Alice (thank goodness) but I have certainly had my share of unhealthy relationships (not only friendships, but romantic relationships too).
I think the dynamic between people in a dysfunctional or toxic relationship is just a fascinating topic - one that I'd like to explore even further!
3. I found it so interesting that both Alice and Katherine each have such interesting layers to them. Both of them have secrets, yet the two of them couldn't be more different. Which character's background and story would you say was the hardest to write and why?
Hmmm - I wouldn't say one character's background was necessarily harder to write that the other although I suppose I did struggle a bit to try and provide at least some kind of reason why Alice might be as she is.
4. Katherine seems so much older than her years. Do you think that this is one of the reasons that your novel is considered to be suited to both the young adult market as well as the adult market?
I always find it hard to answer questions about whether Beautiful Malice is a YA or adult book - I think that's because so many different people have said so many conflicting things. I've had people say "this is absolutely NOT YA' and then others say 'this is not an adult book. It's definitely a YA' - so I guess the answer is I just don't know what it is - a crossover, I guess.
When it was being submitted by my agent to publishers a few of them rejected it as a YA novel because they thought it felt too 'old' - in that it had the feeling that the story was being told by an adult looking back on her life.
So, yes, your suggestion that Katherine's maturity may explain why it appeals to adults as well as teens seems spot on. (Or as good as any other answer I could come up with!)
5. What are your thoughts on book-to-movie adaptations? Would you welcome the idea of Beautiful Malice being made into a movie? And if so, who would you cast as Alice?
I would absolutely LOVE for Beautiful Malice to be made into a movie. It would be a real thrill. And I have to admit that I have no idea who I'd cast. All of the actors I admire are far too old, someone much younger and cooler than me would certainly have to do the casting!
6. I am so incredibly fascinated by Alice. Her final act seems as if it's both an act of revenge as well as one that stems from a desire to self-destruct. Would it be accurate to say that you left some of her actions open to the reader's own interpretation?
Yes, of course. A lot of the book is open to the reader's own interpretation - as most stories are. Personally, I feel a bit sorry for Alice and I don't hate her at all.
But then, I've had a lot of readers say they absolutely hate her and would love to stab her eyes out with a fork - everyone brings their own subjective experience to the reading of a book, which is part of the magic!
7. What is the one thing you'd like readers to retain and carry with them after reading Beautiful Malice?
I don't write to teach lessons or to preach or anything like that - so really I just hope they enjoy the experience of reading the book. It would be a bonus if they enjoy it enough to look forward to my next book!
8. You're a mother of four boys. How do you manage to juggle motherhood and writing? Do you have a specific schedule that you adhere to?
All my boys are at school now so I try to write during school hours. I'm good at ignoring the housework and sometimes it can be a bit embarrassing if people drop in unexpectedly and it looks like I'm just slobbing around in my pyjamas in a messy house. 'I'm working!' I want to say.
9. Your next book is called Cooper Bartholomew Is Dead. Can you tell us a little about the book and what it's about?
Well, it's working title has been Cooper Bartholomew is Dead but that may very well change before publication date. It's about love and lies, suicide and murder, drugs and revenge and courage... there may even be a ghost, of sorts.
10. Finally, besides Beautiful Malice, what's the one book that you've read this year, that is an absolute must-read?
I've just finished reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. I think everyone should read that and then go and watch the movie

Australia is the world's second richest country (second only to Norway), and we do not need to steal from people who are so poor, by insider trading. ASIO's behaviour is appalling!!!!

Pigmentation of the skin
Pigmentation of the skin – it is a kind of painting, which is acquired mainly through this "brown" pigment, melanin. Its amount depends on the level of exposure to ultraviolet radiation (sunburn). In fair-skinned people, the body produces very little melanin in dark-skinned – a moderate amount thereof, and in people with dark skin – the largest amount of pigment.
Skin pigmentation
Changes in skin pigmentation associated with lack or excess of melanin
CAUSES pigmentation disorders
Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found in the epidermis. Its synthesis is due to the enzyme tyrosine. The cause of disruption of the normal pigmentation of the skin can be either excessive production of pigment (hyperpigmentation), which manifests itself in the form of freckles, melasma, moles and birthmarks, and its lack of provoking vitiligo and albinism.
It happens that in fair-skinned people, some melanocytes produce more pigment than the other, that is due to the reaction to sunlight. This uneven distribution of matter leads to the appearance of pigmentation, which is known to us as freckles. Most often they appear on the face and the sun on unprotected parts of the body mostly in the spring and summer, and the winter in most cases are. They are completely harmless, and therefore there is no need for their removal or medication.
Moles or birthmarks
Their origin is associated with an excess of melanin in the skin. They have almost everyone and appear in the first days of our lives. Moles come in different sizes and colors: those that are formed from the lymph nodes and blood vessels are painted in pale pink shade (sometimes red), and those that have appeared due to an excess of melanin – a dark brown or even black.
Moles, like freckles, are considered to be mostly completely harmless, do not need treatment, but there are times when ordinary birthmark becomes a malignant tumor. In the event of signs of increasing or seal of the pigment spots, you must be examined by a dermatologist to confirm or refute the diagnosis.
Melasma. DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Pigmentation Facial Melasma is most often presented, which can be described as dark pigment spots that appear most often in adolescence, as well as pregnant women or women in labor. Very often the cause of pigmentation on the face becomes a violation of hormonal background. Especially this disease affects women.
Especially melasma often occur in women
The pigmentation in pregnancy. The pigmentation in pregnancy – a common phenomenon, which is not to be feared. We moms often have questions such as, how to get rid of pigmentation on the face, but in most cases it does not need to do anything, because after birth comes the stabilization of hormonal melasma and go away without any medical or pharmacological intervention.
Symptoms: brown or yellowish spots, most often seen on the face or neck. Sometimes there is the pigmentation of nipples and halos around them, the cause of which also serve as the hormonal and physiological changes during pregnancy.
Melasma Diagnosis is performed using Wood's filter, which tests the amount of melanin present in the skin cells.
Doctors distinguish these histological types of the disease:
- Epidermal (location of melanin in the epidermis);
- Dermal (located in the dermis);
- Mixed (positioning part in the epidermis and dermis partially).
Removal of pigmentation often produced by exfoliation, which uses chemicals such as glycolic, salicylic and lactic acid and tretinoin, as well as other drugs of similar action. Use of such a method is best under the close supervision of physicians with their further instructions regarding rehabilitation. Treatment is also made by means of laser hair removal and photorejuvenation.
In order to prevent doctors are advised to refrain from prolonged exposure to the sun as much as possible and to protect the skin from harmful UV rays, which can lead to undesirable consequences.
The cause of vitiligo – a complete lack of melanin in some areas of the skin
Violation of normal skin pigmentation also occurs in the form of the disease called vitiligo. The reason of it is a violation of skin pigmentation, which is formed in some areas due to the complete lack of melanin in the cells. Most often this is due to the lowering of immunity or exposure to the body's autoimmune disease, thyroid disease, and diabetes. Scientists point out that vitiligo is most often a hereditary disease and is transmitted genetically.
Symptoms are characterized by the appearance of a milky spots of various shapes and sizes, which sometimes leads to significant areas of depigmentation of the skin.
Diagnosis is made during a comprehensive survey dermatologist, during which set the type of disease and the cause of heredity, or the effect of concomitant diseases.
As treatment often prescribed course of therapy with ultraviolet rays (PUVA therapy), which in addition to the prescribed medications to help improve the perception of light skin.
The disease, which is called albinism is considered hereditary, because people are exposed to it, is already born with gene mutations. A characteristic feature is its failure synthesis of tyrosinase, which leads to not only a complete depigmentation of the skin but also the hair and eye iris. The color can range from milky white to brownish.
Some people albino pigmentation of the skin remains the same, but sometimes occurs in children increased production of melanin, and then appear freckles, birthmarks, moles, ability to tan. Hair often have white or brownish color, which can further adult change. Also may vary with age and coloring eye, which is usually light blue or brown. The lack of pigment in the iris makes them more transparent.
For prevention it is recommended to use sunscreen from direct exposure to ultraviolet rays.
Traditional treatments:
In addition to medication or medical treatment of disorders of pigmentation, there are also traditional methods. Most of them are based on whitening the skin without the use of natural substances chemistry. There are many different recipes for folk remedies, which contribute to the normalization of pigmentation throughout the body. Before you start treatment traditional methods, it is necessary to consult a doctor in order to avoid the negative impact on their health.
Cucumber Whitening Facial Mask
During cooking, you will need one small peeled cucumber. It must grate, and the resulting slurry was applied to the area of pigmentation. Hold for 20-30 minutes, and then wash without soap.
Cucumber mask
Cucumber mask has excellent bleaching properties
Mask alignment complexion
For the masks need the carrot juice, which you want to wipe your face twice a day, immediately after application does not wash off. When the face is dry, it is necessary to rinse with water, diluted milk. For best results, advise to use a glass of carrot juice daily.
Lighten age spots after birth
Mix nepasterizirovanoe milk and alcohol (or vodka) in a ratio of 1: 3. Wipe every night before bed.
Melon juice on age spots
In the affected areas must be applied mashed melon pulp and wipe them melon juice. Repeat the procedure twice a day.
Do not rush too early to worry because of the manifestation of age spots or skin depigmentation, because it is likely that the pretexts for absolutely no panic. If you have any questions or concerns – necessarily refer to a doctor who will confirm or refute or suspicions, as well as give recommendations for further treatment and prevention.

Published: Wednesday 6th May 2015 by The News Editor
Former Scotland lock Nathan Hines has returned to the international fold to join Vern Cotter's coaching staff.
The 38-year-old Sale player is ending his playing career to begin work as a "resource coach" – using his lineout expertise to help the national team while also helping develop the younger forwards in the squad.
Hines, who won 77 caps, is rejoining the Scotland set-up as scrum coach Massimo Cuttitta departs.
The former British and Irish Lion will also work with former club Edinburgh and Glasgow and with Scotland's rising rugby players in the youth ranks.
Hines has worked with Cotter before – the New Zealander signed him in 2011 when he was in charge at French side Clermont Auvergne.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to help a team I played with for 11 years, and one I obviously want to do well; a team that has given me so much and helped me develop as a player," he said.
"I think that Scotland have got some exceptional young players and I'm relishing the opportunity to help make them better than they already are. They've got huge potential and I want to help them in their development.
"Part of helping the team mature is sharing my experience and showing them how not to make the same mistakes I did, on my travels, and in my 11 years playing for Scotland.
"The chance to work with Vern again is another great benefit of this role. He knows how I work and I know how he works, which might have been part of the decision why he asked me to come on board. We got on really well at Clermont and I'm looking forward to working with him again."
Cotter added: "Nathan has a huge amount of experience, not only in rugby union, but also in rugby league.
"His speciality is the lineout but we have seen, both for Scotland and other teams, that he has a very broad skill set.
"He will be an excellent resource for many facets of our game, particularly lineouts and as a role model for our younger players.
"He has a lot of passion for Scotland and I know he will get a lot of enjoyment from being part of the development of our players – many of whom are just starting their senior careers – and encouraging them to fill the jersey in the best way possible."
The Scottish Rugby Union said Cuttitta had left for personal reasons after almost six years in his full-time role helping the national team and both of the country's professional clubs. The former Italy prop previously worked as a consultant to the SRU for four years.

LOS ANGELES, April 19 (UPI) -- Gwen Stefani may be filling in for Christina Aguilera as a judge on The Voice while the Beautiful singer takes a break to give birth to her daughter.
Sources told TMZ Stefani will get her own big red chair come June when Season 7 of the singing competition gets started.
Aguilera would be about eight or nine months pregnant when the battle rounds of The Voice start.
Aguilera would return to the show for Season 8. She revealed she was pregnant in February one week after announcing her engagement to Matthew Rutler.

Not literally, but that was the impression I got; the hug was all-encompassing compassion, forgiveness and acceptance.
Heroin users describe the high as a feeling of all-encompassing well being.
Instead, he prefers to avoid that all-encompassing, data-friendly approach and go from the gut.
And that really encapsulates the pure spirit of all Icelanders: an all-encompassing passion that permeates everything they do.
Don meets Joy on a California business trip in Season 2, and they embark on an extremely brief, sunny, all-encompassing affair.
The all-encompassing change we are witnessing concerns both.
But the fear was harder to endure than the hunger—it was so vague, yet so all-encompassing.
Out of that all-encompassing horror he crieth, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
It invigorated him, made him feel part of something huge and all-encompassing, like being in his father the mountain.
An all-encompassing language, which the practical experience of writing such a novel implies, is simply no longer possible.

SIP/VoIP call setup is covered in Chapter 27 of Wireshark Network Analysis.]
I was scrambling around in preparation for a VoIP training session recently
when I opened a new VoIP trace file that depicted a simple call set up routine
followed by the actual call.
Strangely, Wireshark had an issue identifying one side of the SIP connection -
as you can see in the graphic above. Wireshark dissected one-half of the
conversation as FF (Foundation Fieldbus) traffic.
What in the world is going on here?
Wireshark defines the protocol column value based on the highest layer of
decode that it can apply to the packet. In this case, Wireshark found something
in these packets to indicate the traffic was Foundation Fieldbus packets.
I compared the packets defined as "FF" to the packets correctly interpreted as
Aha! The port number fields tell the story. In the UDP header, packets that
contained the source port of 1089 are dissected as Foundation Fieldbus. Ok -
let's just skip past the fact that the sender in Frame 2 above is not responding
to the correct port number defined in Frame 1.
My focus was on getting Wireshark to dissect the packets marked Foundation
Fieldbus as SIP packets. I certainly don't want to alter the preferences of
Wireshark so that all packets containing source port 1089 are dissected as SIP
packets (as they likely are just ephemeral ports and not SIP at all).
The quick solution is to right click on the packets dissected as Foundation
Fieldbus and select Decode As. Selecting SIP as the desired dissection and
applying this to the trace file fixed the problem quickly. Wireshark now
dissected source port 1089 as SIP. Clicking the "Show Current" button in the
Decode As window displays all manually altered dissection configurations.
It's not often that I have to apply Wireshark's Decode As function - typically I hit
companies using non-standard port numbers for applications for various
understandable and just plain whacky reasons).
It's a great feature to know - just in case you hit a strange dissection.
Enjoy life... in the Netherlands... one bit at a time!

U2 are still scheduled to release a new album this year.
A spokesperson for the band has dismissed rumours about a delay to the record until 2015, telling Rolling Stone: "We've always said an album is expected this year."
U2's last album was 2009's No Line on the Horizon and included singles 'Get on Your Boots' and 'Magnificent'.
Since the release of their last record, the band have worked with producers including will.i.am, Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder and David Guetta.
Universal Music Venezuela and Universal Music Colombia have both previously tweeted that the album will be released in September.
In May it was reported that band members Bono and The Edge were working on a musical film, Sing Street with John Carney.

Wow! I just got back from a trip to the top of the rugged yet beautiful Guadalupe Mountains, the highest peak in Texas, and the cool and mysterious, yet gigantic Carlsbad Caverns of New Mexico.
I don't know what it is about the Desert Southwest, but I find it a magical, yet mystical place where dreams come true! Needless to say, New Mexico is now high on my list of travel destinations in the future, and I've traveled all around the globe from Scotland to Australia... I literally have left my heart and soul in the craggy terrain of the Chihuahuan Desert.
My girlfriend and I started out on the long and what we thought would be a laborious drive from Austin to Carlsbad. The freshness of our relationship and the "big sky" views of the country made the drive seem that much better.
The scenery gradually changed from Hill Country oak and cedar trees to scrubland. First, the trees became more stunted and shorter. Then, the oak trees all but disappeared and all that were left were very small cedar "bushes". Finally, the desert won out and cactus and agave plants won over the landscape.
We got in late to Carlsbad Caverns and checked into Comfort Inn. I had gotten 60% off the rack rate, so even though it wasn't the "best" hotel in town, the price was right. There is an indoor pool and hot tub, but we never ended up using that. The breakfast had waffles, hard boiled eggs, pastries and breads, and various coffees and juices. Enough for us.
One important point to note is that restaurants in Carlsbad close at 8PM (yes, that's 8PM) on weekdays. Coming from Austin, where restaurants are open much later, that was quite an adjustment. On the weekends, restaurants stay open a little later in Carlsbad, until 9PM (yippee). So, unless you want to eat at a chain restaurant (we ended up at Chili's the first night because everything was closed), you may want to plan for that.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous. Extremely dry, with warm days and cool nights. After breakfast the first morning, we headed from Carlsbad to the Guadalupe Mountains. It took around an hour to get from Carlsbad to the National Park entrance at the Guadalupe Mountains.
Compared to other National Parks (and even to Carlsbad Caverns), Guadalupe National Park is fairly empty. That's worked out great for us, as we hoped we'd have the mountain all to ourselves. We found out there were some people on the mountain, but not many.
They say it takes around 4 hours to climb 3000 feet from the base elevation at around 5000 feet to 8,749 feet, the highest peak in Texas, and then 2 hours to descend. It took us slightly less than that, 3.5 hours to ascend and 1.5 hours to descend. When you get to the top, there is a monument and an ammo box that contains a signature book. We spent around a half hour up there, reading the various entries from places as far away as Iran to as close by as the nearest town. We then left our own signature and quotation in the book. Who said there weren't any mountains in Texas!
The next day, we woke up early to take the 9AM Left Tunnel Tour. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that all tours meet down at the rest area 755 feet below the surface, and the tours leave promptly, so you need to get to the Visitor's Center around 30 minutes prior to to the tour so you can be at the Tour around 15 minutes prior. I hope this information helps for people interested in doing some guided tours.
We walked to the Natural Entrance and then down into the cave. You start out in 90 degree sun and then it gradually gets cooler as you descend, until it's 56 degrees once you're a few hundred feet beneath the surface. One warning, you can really smell the bats at the beginning of the cave. However, as you descend into the land of forever darkness, it is beyond the reach of the bats and there is no smell anymore.
Nothing can prepare you for the size and scope of the caverns. As you descend into the cave, you keep thinking that you must be near the bottom, but then you realize you're nowhere near. There are giant rooms the size of cathedrals that you keep passing through. It feels like another planet, otherwordly.

Enchanted by New Mexico: Carlsbad Caverns, NM and Guadalupe Mountains, TX
Wow! I just got back from a trip to the top of the rugged yet beautiful Guadalupe Mountains, the highest peak in Texas, and the cool and mysterious, yet gigantic Carlsbad Caverns of New Mexico.

Since we had missed our guided tour, we weren't in any hurry. Our next tour was at 3PM so we had plenty of time to wander through the caverns at a leisurely pace.
We finally reached the destination an hour or so later, and it was interesting to be able to use the restroom 750 feet underground and get snacks as well.
After being underground for that long, I needed to resurface to see some daylight. So we took the elevator back up and went outside to soak up the nice warm NM sun.
Then, we went back down to tour the Big Room. This is quite impressive, an absolutely giant space.
We ate lunch in the cafe, which is decent, and then shopped for some souvenirs, watched a few movies, and then returned back down for our 3PM tour. We got there a half hour early just to be safe.
We took the King's Palace Tour, and it was really memorable. We had a Polish woman guide, and she was very friendly and funny. She made us all answer the question "Why did you decide to go 750 feet under the ground with a Polish woman?" It made for some interesting stories.
The King's Palace reminded me of Cathedrals in Barcelona, and the Queen's Chamber with its "draperies" is to be seen as well. However, all things considered, the Natural Entrance and Big Room give you a lot more value for your money.
After the King's Palace Tour, we had to wait around until 7:30 PM for the bats. It was a lovely evening and the bats were well worth seeing.
Some notes: I absolutely loved being underground, but after a while I lost my balance a little. It was almost like being on a ship at sea. All I needed was to resurface for around 15 minutes or so and go out into the sun and I was okay. Then I was ready to return. I don't know if this is a common thing but both of us felt that way.
The next day we drove home. I wish we were still there

New Mexico is one of my favorite places to visit, glad your trip went well and hope it was as "romantic" as you planned. Now for a longer trip, try heading north and hit some other park service places like el Morro/Inscription rock and Bandelier NM.
Report Abuse
It was very romantic. It's very dark in the cave and there are plenty of places to smooch without people even remotely nearby
On the King's Palace Tour, there was a couple who brought their daughter (who was reluctant to go) on the tour and they had first gone on their honeymoon.
My sister went there on her honeymoon as well (and to other places in the Southwest) and their marriage is still going strong.
To be frank though, we could have gone almost anywhere and it would have been romantic. It really is who you're with and not where you visit

I'm glad to hear your trip was a success!
New Mexico is special to us, too. I swear our blood pressure goes down as we are driving into the state.

thanks for your trip report. glad to hear everything went nicely for you. i had my doubts about the "romance" of a bunch of caves, but sounds like it worked out well

Those of you who have seen my recipes in the past will know that I occasionally go "off piste" as it were. There seems no reason to me that panna cotta really must be a dessert although it really is lovely when it is. So here is my version of a savoury panna cotta shown above served with fondant potatoes, green beans and a swipe of mustard sauce.
Why not try other savoury versions such as salmon, blue cheese etc.


text: Guys/Gals, Went to the MN Green Expo yesterday, and came across Hsu Growing Supply, out of Wausau, WI. They had some of their certified leaf compost on display, and I was impressed by its consistency and quality. I am looking to get into topdressing lawns next season, and believe these folks may have my material supply answer. Friendly people. Here is the web addy http://www.hsucompost.com/compost/ Anyone use any of their material? They said they have been in biz for 20 years, originally for commercial ginseng production but expanded into mulches and soils. Thoughts? I am going to get an analysis of the compost sent to me from Hsu and after I do, I will post for thoughts. Also, they have a compost/peat mix that may have potential for topdressing as well. I believe it is two parts compost to one part peat. Each of these composts/mixes come in bags, 50 cu ft supersacks (most interest to me), and bulk.

Earlier today, after wrapping up my NaNoWriMo word count for the day, I rewarded myself with some time to catch up on some of my favorite YouTubers.
If you watch the vlogbrothers channel, you know that Hank just had a baby and is on paternity leave (yay fatherhood!), so on Fridays, his usual videos are being taken over by the lovely Sabrina from Nerdy and Quirky, and her debut video in this slot was AMAZING.
I'll let you take a moment and watch it right now. In fact, I'll join you.
I love everything about this.
Yes, stress can be a bad thing, but… what I love about Sabrina's point is that stress, like fat, comes in good and bad forms.
I am the type of person who performs well when time is of the essence. For example, I've set a goal for myself to write a blog post every Friday, and I'm holding myself to that goal while also trying to attempt NaNoWriMo, while still working a full time job, and working with teens twice a month for a few hours at a time and planning a wedding and saving up to buy a house (or maybe build one) and taking care of a really smart and active dog and reading more and trying to also spread joy and happiness and good vibes in one of the undoubtedly negative periods of our country's recent history. And then there are all the shows on Netflix to catch up on. It's exhausting.
But Sabrina made me realize that if I was doing none of these things, if I was just sitting around and drinking coffee and working on nothing, I would feel no reward. I would get none of the joy that blogging and noveling and bookselling and the wedding planning and everything else brings me.
Good things take work to create, but it's good work. It's fulfilling work — and when you've worked really hard to get something good, that thing feels so much better.
I'm so glad that I watched this video today and was reminded that some forms of stress are worth having. They are the fires under our asses to get us moving towards the joy in our lives.
So the next time that you're sitting at your desk, wanting to tear your hair out because STUFF ISN'T HOW YOU WANT IT RIGHT NOW, just take a moment and remind yourself why you sat down there in the first place and try to smile even though your blood pressure is rising. Think about what it is you're working towards and why this will all be so worth it.
And remember, you can do it. I believe in you.
Speaking of which, what are you working on that's a source of good stress in your life? Tell me about your happy projects in the comments and let's support each other through it all!
Spread joy, everyone.
*This is an installment of the Holy Crap This Thing Is Awesome series in which I pick one thing that I am loving right now and I tell you all about it because I want more people to be aware of the existence of that person or thing. I do not get paid for these and I pick them purely based on my own interest in them.

A survey of senior executive vacancies with salaries of more than £100,000 by executive search firm Interexec found 40% of senior IT executive job positions are for salaries over £150,000, while 15% of positions are for salaries of £200,000. Financial services attributed to 29% of all senior IT positions.
The survey also found the number of senior executive vacancies across all industry sectors notified to Interexec by headhunters and employers has grown from 350 in May to a new record of 512 in October, a rise of 46%.
Kit Scott-Brown, managing director of Interexec, said the IT sector had shown the highest growth rate.
"What we found in the IT sector is not surprising; the technology sector has been remarkably resilient, and the unprecedented rise in job vacancies among the sector, which have been notified to us, just confirms what we are being told by clients - that individuals have been waiting for the market to improve and now think it is time to make their move," said Scott-Brown.
The latest Salary Services Limited (SSL)/Computer Weekly IT salary survey also found IT job vacancies had increased to almost 90,000 vacancies over the past quarter, an increase of 7.6% in recruitment for the third quarter of 2010 compared to a rise of 1% to 2% in 2009.

Bitzer wins home run derby
The strong wind blowing in from left field at Story Field made it a tough day to go deep, but West Fargo's slugger Chance Bitzer was able to knock one out to take the Home Run Derby, earning a beautiful new bat from Athlete's Corner and a gift certificate from Coldstone Creamery.
The event was held in conjunction with the Babe Ruth World Series in Longview, Wash., with the home run derby featuring one player from each team. The competition granted each participant 10 outs, and any swing that did not produce a home run counted as an out.
Facing Lower Columbia College pitching coach Rob Hippi, and the cavernouse dimensions of Story Field, the derby field managed only one home run - Bitzer's line shot down the left field line that sneaked over the wall and under the Dick Hannah Toyota banner mounted above it.

Today's Women 2.0 Conference on February 14, 2013 is being livestreamed here today and video will be available post-event. By Angie Chang (Co-Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Women 2.0)
CloudFlare processes 3% of all the Internet traffic, states CloudFlare co-founder Michelle Zatlyn at the Women 2.0 Conference 2013. She presents a case study about going to billions as a startup founder. How did she do this? "No silver bullet" she admits, concluding that it's a combination of many different things.
She advises entrepreneurs to ask yourself four main things.
"Are you going after a big market?" she asks. "Ask yourself is what you are working on going to impact 100 million people... it's the exact same amount of work. A big idea is easier than a small idea."
The second thing is to have a small team of valuable individuals who share your vision. CloudFlare has under 40 people to achieve what they have today. They need to be willing to work really hard because they believe in what they are doing.
"Average product cycle is 14 months, so you have to execute faster than anyone else. Always ask yourself, 'are you pushing the ball forward?'" Startups must be speedy. She shares a slide (pictured, above) where she reveals CloudFlare has saved "891 lifetimes". They saved people from waiting for pages to load slowly.
Michelle's final tip is to solve the user experience and make it easy to use. "This lowers the barrier for people to use your product... this is magic if you do it right," says Michelle.
CloudFlare co-founder Michelle Zatlyn shares the five things she'd do again:
- Choose partners wisely. You want to hire people who are different in terms of skill sets.
- Hold people accountable. You can use a grid on a wall with tape, and post-its, with the lean or agile or scrum method. "Just pick something and hold your team accountable," she advises.
- Get your own space early. "This is not a frat house. This is not a sorority house. Build your own culture."
- Start blogging. "The Women 2.0 blog is always looking for contributors. Hacker News - great place to submit your blog post to try to get product. Even without a product, you can build your presence early so when you want to build momentum, you have an audience that is already listening."
- Launch at an event. Early on, you need partners, investors, etc... and you will get it by going out there. Best of all - "Nothing motivates a team like a deadline you can't change," she quips, referring to startup competition pitches and deadlines.
What she wishes she had done differently? She wishes she had taken more photos of her startup journey along the way. She only has three pictures of "the journey" and wishes she had more.
Michelle's biggest takeaway for entrepreneurs is to think big and dare to think big. You may just surprise yourself with what you can accomplish.
"Trust yourself and go for it. Good luck!" she concluded.

Hong Kong's Victoria Peak Always a Draw
I consider Hong Kong one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Not, necessarily, on street level, where there's such a jarring juxtaposition between the profound and the mundane, the grand and the gross, it's hard to take in the whole picture.
Take the Peak Tram to The Peak, however, and you're met with a sweeping panorama of the harbor, the high rises of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and undulating hills in the distance. There are plenty of restaurants and shops in Peak Tower and Peak Galleria, but my favorite thing to do is take the circular, 2-mile hike around the peak, which offers different views along its shaded path and glimpses of millionaires' mansions.
Because of the differences in what you see, I recommend going to The Peak twice: during the day and again at night, when the city lights up like few others do. If it's cloudy or rainy, however, don't bother. In fact, pollution over the years has become so ubiquitous, if you have a clear day consider yourself very fortunate.
I discovered this article about The Peak, which quotes from my Frommer's Hong Kong:

Stanley, Hong Kong
Almost every time I've been in Hong Kong–and I can't even count how many that would be over the past 30-some years–I've spent at least part of a day in Stanley, on the south end of Hong Kong Island. It's
long been known for its market, meaning, of course, that it's no longer the place to go for bargains. In fact, whereas years ago the market dealt only in clothing, over the past couple of decades souvenirs have crept into the mix–which can only mean one thing: tourists.
But although Stanley Market has changed, I still love going there. Part of it has to do with the wild ride to get there, best done in a double-decker bus that careens around corners and races over hills, gradually revealing glimpses of the South China Sea. The village of Stanley, long a popular enclave for expats, is laid-back and trendy, with good restaurants and a beach popular with families.
For more on Stanley, see this article in Global Traveler:

Hong Kong for Business Travelers
My business in Hong Kong is to write about it so others can be informed
and hopefully spend most of their valuable time enjoying it to the utmost. I hit the bars, dine til I can eat no more at restaurants that have stood the test of time and at new ones that are the talk of the town, check out the latest attractions and then drop dead-tired in as many hotels as I can fit in my schedule.
And I've been doing it for 30 years. Hong Kong Makes Doing Business a Pleasure is a roundup of some of my discoveries, published in the March issue of Global Traveler. And it's true, Hong Kong is a great place for business travelers. There are restaurants galore, some of the best hotels in the world, and a wealth of shopping and sightseeing opportunities that can be slipped into a busy itinerary no matter where you are. You can spend all day in a business meeting, go to dinner at a fabulous restaurant with views over the glittering city and then get up on your day off and hike the Dragon's Back Trail right in the middle of Hong Kong Island.
But no matter how long your trip, it won't be long enough. It never is for me.

My article on Hong Kong Food Tours published in USA Today
I wrote an article called Hong Kong Food & Drink Tours for USA Today about four different local tours in Hong Kong that center on food and drink. Each tour is slightly different and therefore appeals to different types and ages of travelers. One company offers walking tours to small, family-owned restaurants, bakeries, soy shops and other establishments in traditional neighborhoods, while another specializes in private, customized food tours that can cover everything from exotic ethnic cuisine to the best Cantonese restaurants in town. For mainstream travelers, or for those with mobility issues, a well-established company offers a cruise to a village known for its seafood restaurants. And for younger people with a wild side, there's the weekly pub crawl to bars and nightclubs; when you wish to call it a night is entirely up to you.

Hong Kong Restaurant a Relic of the Past
I've been writing about Sammy's Kitchen for as long as I've been covering Hong Kong for Frommer's (almost 30 years). When I first went there, in the 1980s, it was because I was searching for an establishment offering Western fare in a neighborhood dominated by restaurants serving noodles and other Cantonese fare, so that readers might have an alternative while following my walking tour of the Sheung Wan area. With its large sign out front, shaped like a cow, it was easy to find and hard to ignore.
What I found was a friendly, family-owned locale that stood out in an area known for its stalls selling dried seafood, ginseng and other traditional goods. In fact, Sammy's offers an eclectic choice of both Western and Chinese dishes, some the original creation of Sammy Yip, who started out working in the kitchens of the Peninsula and Mandarin Oriental before opening his own restaurant in 1970. Today the octogenarian is assisted by his offspring in this dark and cluttered restaurant with its outdated decor. But while there are now nearby trendy Western restaurants along Hollywood Road and elsewhere offering better food and more chic furnishings, there's something comforting about an unpretentious restaurant that's been in business for so long amidst so much change in this former British colony. You can stop in a full-fledged meal or just a soda and ice-cream sundae.
Now, it seems, there's a controversy over the restaurant's old sign, which extends over the street and has been a familiar landmark for more than 30 years. It's apparently against codes for signage, with city officials demanding its removal, according to this article that includes a quote from my Frommer's Hong Kong guide.
And so time marches onward, even for a restaurant that seems committed to remaining exactly the same.

Hong Kong's Occupy Central Movement Coming to an End
After occupying the plaza beneath the icon HSBC bank headquarters in the heart of Hong Kong's financial Central district for the past 10 months, Occupy Central will have to disband within the next two weeks in compliance with a court decision last Monday. Although participation had dwindled, it still had life when I visited Hong Kong in May, especially on weekends when campers were joined by workers wishing to show solidarity for the movement.
Sadly, Hong Kong now has the biggest wealth gap in Asia, with some people so poor that their "homes" are nothing more than a bunk bed surrounded by mesh, in what is known as a cage bed. Many apartments that normally hold one family have been subdivided into many tiny rooms that are rented out to the poor.

Classic Himalaya Itinerary
2019 Classic Himalaya Itinerary
For a map of the route click here
Day 1 Sat June 29th – Leave Heathrow for an overnight flight to Delhi and a connection to Amritsar.
Day 2 Sun June 30th – Arrive Amritsar and transfer to the hotel enjoying possibly your first glimpse of Indian driving. After spending an afternoon relaxing we will be taking a sunset visit to the Golden Temple, one of the most beautiful temples in India.
Day 3 Mon July 1st – Today is a day off to explore Amritsar until mid afternoon when we head to the India/Pakistan border at Wagah to watch one of the most amusing displays of patriotism, made famous by Michael Palin in his Himalaya programme.
Day 4 Tue July 2nd - Up early to catch a train south to Ambala where we have lunch and then collect our vehicles for the drive to Shimla, former capital of the British Raj. The temperature drop as you enter the hills of Shimla is a welcome relief after the heat of the plains. You'll no doubt be tired by the time you arrive in Shimla, where we will be staying in a wonderful colonial hotel.
Day 5 Wed July 3rd – Shimla, with it's wealth of history and the magnificent Viceroy's Lodge is too good to miss so today is a completely free day giving you plenty of time to explore the sights.
Day 6 Thu July 4th – Shimla to Sarahan. Today the adventure begins as we leave Shimla and head into the mountains. The route is twisty and an ideal learning curve for what lies ahead. We pass through beautiful verdant valleys climbing towards Narkanda before a long descent to the Sutlej river valley. We follow this raging river before finally ascending for the overnight stop at Sarahan.
Day 7 Fri July 5th - Sarahan to Kalpa. Descending from Sarahan we continue following the Sutlej towards our nights stop at Kalpa passing some of the largest hydro-electric engineering projects I have ever seen. Our hotel in Kalpa lies in the shadow of the 21,500ft Kinnaur Kailash mountain, a perfect place to enjoy a drink as the sun goes down.
Day 8 Sat July 6th – Kalpa to Nako. Today we'll see big changes in the landscape. Travelling above the tree line we enter the Himalayan desert. Thousands of years of wind erosion has created fascinating rock formations which are unlike anything you will have seen elsewhere. On the way to Nako we'll pass within 5 miles of the Tibetan border hence the need for our Inner Line Permits.
Day 9 Sun July 7th - Nako to Kazza. A beautiful drive along the Spiti Valley, past more outstanding scenery. We'll pass glaciers and stop at Tabo to look around the 1000 year old Tibetan monastery. We should arrive at the busy little trading town of Kazza by early afternoon. After filling up with fuel at the world's highest retail petrol station you might like to take a short drive to Kibber, one of the highest villages in the world.
Day 10 Mon July 8th - Kazza to Tandi – Today is the biggest drive of the trip as we head further up the valley crossing the Kun Zum pass at 14930ft. Descending the other side of the pass we stop in a dhaba for hot noodles before tackling several water crossings on the way to Tandi, our overnight stop.
Day 11 Tue July 9th – Tandi to Manali. First thing in the morning it is only a short drive to the bottom of the infamous Rhotang Pass. At 13,000 it'll be cold and snowy at the top but, weather permitting, it has some spectacular views. After a tea stop on the mountain we'll descend to the hustle and bustle of Manali.
Day 12 Wed July 10th - Manali is a lively, vibrant town full of backpackers, shops and happy locals. We have a day off and get together in the evening for a beautiful meal in a local speciality restaurant.
Day 13 Thu July 11th - Manali to Nalagarh - We now leave the hills and return to the plains. The morning is a lovely drive following numerous green valleys before eventually reaching the busy main roads further south. In the evening we reach our overnight stop in an old hilltop fort.
Day 14 Fri July 12th - Nalagarh to Delhi – Driving down India's Highway 1 we reach Delhi where we'll drop the vehicles off. We should arrive shortly after lunchtime giving you a free afternoon for last minute shopping.
Day 15 Sat July 13th - Depart for Delhi Airport and a mid morning flight back to the UK arriving at Heathrow later the same day.

While adding physical controls instantly improves almost any mobile game, no one wants to carry around a big, bulky control pad all day. But it's unlikely you'll have any complaints about taking the iMpulse with you everywhere you go, because it's so small it fits on your keyring — and it's compatible with both Android and iOS devices.
MOGA's Upcoming iPhone Gamepad Gets Shown Off In Leaked Trailer [Video]
On Friday, we caught an early glimpse at MOGA's upcoming iPhone control pad, the Ace Power, thanks to leaked photos that were published ahead of its official debut. And now we have a leaked trailer, too. The 30-second clip shows off the Ace Power's features, including that neat portable design.
Gameloft's $80 Duo Gamer Controller Is Now Just $6 On Amazon
Remember Gameloft's $80 Duo Gamer Controller? It was launched in October 2012 and it brought physical controls to our favorite Gameloft games on iOS — but it had a number of major flaws. The biggest one was that it was only compatible with Gameloft games, and that made its $80 price tag all the more bemusing.
But it's not such a bad purchase at $6.36, which is all you'll pay for it on Amazon right now.
iCade's Retro 8-Bitty Controller For iOS Is On Sale Now At $30
Reliving your childhood with retro games on iOS is, I find, one of the best ways to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon — until you get frustrated with the virtual controls that keep getting you killed and you threaten to throw your iPad out of the window. But thanks to the iCade 8-Bitty, a new Bluetooth control pad for iOS, you can now play your favorite titles with real controls.
The Bladepad Is By Far The Best Physical Gamepad For iPhone Yet [Kickstarter]
Every time I've talked about iOS gaming, I've said that it's missing one thing: physical controls. Sure, all kinds of games work well with a touchscreen, but a lot don't. Numerous accessory makers have attempted to change this with add-on controllers, but none have really taken off.
The Bladepad hopes to change that. It's a detachable case with a slide-out controller that features dual analog sticks, physical buttons — including shoulder buttons — and more.
The 60beat GamePad Accessory Is An iOS Gamer's Dream [Video]
While there are many benefits to gaming on an iOS device, such as cheap games and an impressive handheld experience, there is one downside: no physical control pad. That won't be much of a problem to some, but to gamers like me — who like to play first-person shooters and retro platformers — a physical control pad compatible with our iOS devices is truly missed.
That's why the 60beat GamePad is a dream come true for iOS gamers.

Jockey Robbie McNamara transferred to Mater Hospital with 'chest, abdominal and spinal injuries'
Robbie McNamara was transferred to the Mater Hospital in Dublin tonight after suffering a series of injuries in a fall at Wexford.
The jockey was due to partner last year's Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Lord Windermere in Saturday's Crabbie's Grand National at Aintree , but trainer Jim Culloty will have to find a new rider for his stable star.
McNamara, who rode a double at last year's Cheltenham Festival as an amateur before turning professional earlier this season, was partnering 14-1 shot Bursledon when he came to grief four flights from the finish in the first division of the Cahore Point Handicap Hurdle.
He was taken to Wexford General Hosptial, where he underwent a CT scan, before being transferred.
Dr Adrian McGoldrick, chief medical advisor for the Irish Turf Club, said: "Robbie has chest, abdominal and spinal injuries and has been transferred to Mater (Hospital).
"I have spoken to his family and we have agreed there will be no further comment until Sunday, by which time he will have undergone further scans."
Lord Windermere, who was pulled up in this year's Gold Cup, is a general 50-1 chance for Aintree glory.
Culloty has a second runner in the shape of Spring Heeled, who is due to be ridden by Nick Scholfield and is available at 25-1. Also owned by Dr Ronan Lambe, he was last seen finishing fourth in the Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse in February.

My blog is turning a year old this November (do I sense a giveaway here? *hints*) and I can't recall myself blogging related to where the product testing and makeup transformation happens. When I started Youtube a few months ago, a makeup room tour is one of the most requested. If you are new to my blog or just starting to explore the wonders of makeup, let it be known that due to the nature of my passion, I buy makeups that interest me so this is not like an overnight accumulation of useless stuff. If you are active in the beauty community i.e Youtube, you will be overwhelmed with what some of the girls have. Once I saw someone that can rival Sephora's array of makeups and tools. My point is, everyone has a passion- think of people who collect books, pens, toys, memorabilia. I have always been enamored with makeups but it was only last year that I took this inclination seriously through blogging. Will my collection grow? Yes. I am always in search of the holy grail in cosmetics. I like to try new products and share my experience and thoughts with you. Okay, so let the short tour begin...
|The Vanity- one of my DIYs
|Makeup brushes, eyeliners, lipliners, etc. on top of the vanity
I want easy access to my most used (and abused) makeup items so I organized my makeup brushes and other paraphernalia on top of the vanity. If you want to see my DIY makeup brush holder, click here.
|Marilyn Monroe bust on top of vanity
I like to flip thru magazines and watch old Hollywood movies for makeup inspirations. Any girl will look fabulous with a winged or cat-eye makeup and luscious red lipstick. To get this iconic look, read this blog.
|A tripod camera sits on the right side of the vanity to get maximum lighting for my makeup tutorials
I expanded my beauty blogging to filming my makeup routine and techniques on Youtube (fabkath36) because I have friends who want to see the real deal. Am I ready to expose my face to the world? that was my self-imposed challenge. It was apparent in my old videos that I was so uncomfortable in front of the camera. Although I am used to public speaking and presentations, filming myself and talking to somebody I don't see was a bit odd in the beginning. Even my editing sucked. Still on the learning curve, I am happy to hear comments from my friends and subscribers that my confidence and editing have improved now. As you can see from the photo, my filming station is nothing state-of-the art. A tripod quietly sits on the side of vanity to catch natural lighting. I try to change locations or angles every now and then to make my videos interesting.
|Left side: I organize makeups based on category
The first drawer holds some mid to high-end eye makeups; The second for drugstore eye makeups; the third one for sponges, lashes, and some perfumes that need to be protected from humidity. Read this blog on how to store and make your perfume last longer.
|Corner of vanity: old book shelf for palettes, lipsticks, nail polishes, etc.
This old book shelf is used for some more makeup products. The top shelf holds some eye makeup palettes. The organizer is a wooden plate holder I bought from Ross. The second layer houses my random lip products. I store them up or down where I can see the shades easily. The third layer is for my nail polishes neatly organized in a wicker basket. The last shelf (not captured from pic) is reserved for hair accessories and another organizer for new and unused makeups which I intend to share to my subscribers thru giveaways. For more makeup organization ideas, read this blog.
|Right side of vanity for face, cheeks, and hair tools
The first drawer holds all face products- liquid foundations, pressed powders, tinted moisturizers, concealers, among others; the second drawer is for blushers and bronzers; the last one for hair tools.
|Peeking through: One side of the koa wood headboard was used for some body lotions, colognes, mists, perfumes.

Just in time for Valentine's Day…
Samantha Davies, GBR, (Roxy) crossed the finishing line at 00hrs 41mins 01 secs as the third competitor to complete this epic sixth edition of the Vendée Globe solo non stop around the world race and return to Les Sables d'Olonne.
Ironically Davies will have to wait two days and two hours (50 hours) to see whether she hang on to third place in this sixth Vendée Globe as the final result will depend on Marc Guillemot's finishing time.
Guillemot was given a time compensation for standing by the badly injured skipper Yann Elies who was rescued from his Open 60 Generali on 20th December.
95 days 4 hours 39 mins 01 sec WITH redress: Roxy crossed the finish in the midst of a dark February night, in the small hours of St Valentine's day, having sailed 27 470 actual miles on the water at an average speed of 12.02 knots.
Davies is the first British competitor to complete this edition of the race, which began off Les Sables d'Olonne back on 9th November 2008, and leads home Brian Thompson, GBR (Bahrain Team Pindar) and Dee Caffari, GBR, (Aviva) who are on course to finish in fifth and sixth places respectively. They are likely to finish late Sunday or Monday.
If she is not displaced from third place (if Marc Guillemot does not finish before Monday morning), she will become only the second woman on the podium in the history of the race and the third British sailor after Ellen MacArthur in 2000-2001 and Mike Golding in 2004-2005.

James Cameron is finally reassembling his cast later this year to start physical work on his four planned Avatar sequels. Chief among the ensemble is Sam Worthington, who's returning to reprise the character of Jake Sully.
He's currently on the promotional trail for his latest production, The Shack, and in an interview with We Got This Covered, he's been chatting about the plan for Avatar 2, and the sequels beyond that.
"They're going to be shooting concurrently", he confirmed, something that James Cameron has, in fairness, long since confirmed. "The plan is to have some time in between, I think, but these things are always ambiguous until they start. We're still set to start in the summer, though. James needed time to perfect the scripts. Whenever he says jump I go because he's the man. I've read all the scripts, they're great. This is going to be Jake eight years later, and he's got a family now".
As for what to expect? Worthington is making heady promises. "This film is going to be like nothing you've ever seen. The world is bigger than the first one, but essentially, it's a movie about family. Jake will still have that essence of a kid seeing the world for the first time, but he's been living in the world for a while now, so what's this world he's seeing now for the first time? The film will explore that within this family dynamic".
We assume that he's talking about the first sequel there in particular, although we'd expect Worthington to pop up in all four upcoming Avatar films. As we hear more, we'll keep you posted. Avatar 2 is due in cinemas in December 2018.

Networking is quintessential to the sustenance, profitability and consistent growth of a business. Networking, by the very definition, involves meeting new people, absolute strangers in most cases and thereon developing a bond of sorts. When you meet people whom you do not know, the first step is to strike a conversation. Whether you are at a public event or at a seminar, attending a meet at a certain association or you simply come across a few people who may or may not be related to your industry and business, you have to start a conversation.
Simple Tips to Start a Conversation
In the adjoining slideshow, you would unravel some simple ways to start a conversation with someone you don't know. Many people simply eavesdrop and suddenly try to get started catching a certain portion of an ongoing discussion. Many people rely on their existing contacts to introduce them to people their contacts are well accustomed with. Some people do not make any attempt to know people they haven't met. All these approaches are not only undesirable but often unfruitful. It is necessary that you have the right intent, the right approach and the right demeanor while starting a conversation with someone you don't know.
Common Questions to Use
It is always good to start a conversation by asking someone about his or her occupation. Thereon you can follow it up with questions pertaining to his or her visit to the particular event and what association they share with the organizers or the organization hosting the event. Thereon, you can talk about leisure, hobbies and recreational aspects to get to know the person even better. These three approaches, rather these three sets of questions, are always safe to start with and no one would mind talking about these. Most people at an event, even if you don't know them, are there because they too wish to expand their network. Whether you take the initiative or someone else does, sticking to the approach would always be rewarding.
Many professionals and business owners strike up a conversation and then quickly become judgmental. Many people do not follow up on the meeting and quickly forget about their interaction. You never know how a network can be expanded and who is capable of what. It is essential that you are not judgmental and that you have the inclination to follow up on the little chat that you have just had, albeit provided they are also receptive about the idea.

579 – The House Thief
579 – The House Thief – is available now on Etsy
This book, 579 – The House Thief – is a tribute to my mother, and to all of us as we age. To the things we lose and the things we can lose if someone isn't helping along the way. It is a one of a kind, original work.
For my mother, last year she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, placed in a facility, then later removed when family members tried to rob her blind, then cancer, then – believe it or not – UNdiagnosed with Alzheimer's. We learned her former home had been full of black mold, which contributed mightily to her symptoms of memory loss and terrible asthma and eventually caused her to lose that home entirely. Mold stole her home, and it almost cost her her life.
But last year in the midst of all this, in a terrible depression, she said to me, "I am 84 and I don't know what to do with the rest of my life." This inspired this book, which had direct quotes from her on each page. Pages are wooden and handpainted with milk paint, then bound in a Secret Belgian Binding with black wool.
The book cover is adorned with a miniature glass doorknob, and the entire book lives inside the house. The roof of the house comes completely off. The house is also painted with milk paint and ink and the interior of the house is black, to signify the mold that took away her life.
My favorite part of this book are the quotes, which provide an interesting view of life at 84, and the clacking sound the pages of the book make when the book is open or pages turned. 579 was her street address.
579: The House Thief
Book: 3x 2.5 x 2.5″ when closed.
Box/House with roof is 6.5 x 4.5 x 3.5″
Wooden pages, glass doorknob, Secret Belgian Binding, woolen thread, milk paint, ink.
One of a kind, original work

A podcast about life in Canadian cities. Produced by Metro News and co-hosted by Vass Bednar, Matt Elliott and Luke Simcoe.
Ep. 7: Flipping the Bird
On episode 7 of Metropolis, Matt and Vass say: Shame in the city! (Luke is away).
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Luke is away, so Vass and Matt talk about a subject very close to their neurotic hearts: shame.
In the first segment, Vass cites both official and unofficial examples of urban shaming. Things like etiquette campaigns for public transit and various attempts to make drivers feel bad for parking in bike lanes. Meanwhile, Matt relays a tale of giving some dude the finger.
In segment two, things get a little paranoid as Matt imagines a dystopian/utopian future in which cameras are used to enforce better urban behaviour. It starts with talk of photo radar and continues all the way to ruminations on Robocop. It's a continuum!
