BENGALURU, Karnataka —Social giant Facebook has announced a new privacy focused approach, and a major app redesign at its annual global developer conference, F8, which took place on Tuesday, April 30 in the US.
The new design puts a lot of focus on events and groups, the two more active and engaged part of the application. It also moved away from its iconic blue look, to have a much lighter design.
This comes at a time Facebook has been facing one privacy-related scandal after another. The company is facing steep fines for violating privacy, and US lawmakers want Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to be personally liable for Facebook's failures on privacy. While some industry watchers still believe that the way forward is to "empower" tech companies, the era of 'self-regulation' might be coming to an end. The social network is being questioned by lawmakers and officials around the world, including in India.
The Facebook redesign is supposed to signal a shift away from these privacy concerns. In his presentation, Zuckerberg also announced that Facebook is working to integrate its different messaging services— WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger—and will also be enabling end-to-end privacy for all of these. WhatsApp, which is the most popular messaging platform in India, already uses end-to-end encryption by default.
For the latest elections news and more, follow HuffPost India on Twitter, Facebook, and subscribe to our newsletter.
Other features that Zuckerberg talked about included a move away from the News Feed to focus on group messaging, and a greater focus on Stories (updates that disappear after a day) to create "a more trustworthy platform."
"By far, the three fastest-growing areas of online communication are private messaging, groups and Stories," Zuckerberg said while presenting the redesign at F8.
"There are tens of millions of active groups on Facebook. When people find the right one, it often becomes the most meaningful part of how they use Facebook. And today, more than 400 million people on Facebook belong to a group that they find meaningful," Facebook said in a blog post. "With this in mind, we're rolling out a fresh new design for Facebook that's simpler and puts your communities at the center. We're also introducing new tools that will help make it easier for you to discover and engage with groups of people who share your interests."
The new design will start rolling out around the world on both Android and iOS apps, and a desktop redesign is to follow. There's also a new feature called Meet New Friends, to help connect with strangers who have the same interests, or share real-world connections with users. It has also redesigned events to give a rich map view, so you can easily see things that are going on around you.
With these changes, Facebook is also moving away from the News Feed, which gave every user a public platform through which messages could go viral — prompting the twinned problems of fake news and hate speech, that the company has struggled to contain.
Privacy is about 'optics'
Although a lesser focus on the News Feed, as well as ensuring end-to-end encryption for all messaging products sound like good steps towards greater privacy and security, Facebook actually named only a few concrete steps that it is taking. The word privacy was used a lot (just about every speaker on the livestream used the phrase 'the future is private'), but apart from a couple of new developments, much of Zuckerberg's talk was dedicated to things like payments on WhatsApp, virtual reality, and the international expansion of Facebook Portal.
Facebook's prioritization of privacy was 'all about optics'.
At the same time, Facebook also went back to its roots with a dating app feature to mark people as your "secret crush". The social platform announced Tuesday at its F8 conference that Facebook Dating, which launched last year, would now include a new feature called Secret Crush. The new feature allows users to "explore potential romantic relationships within their own extended circle of friends."
Users of Facebook Dating who opt into Secret Crush can select up to nine of their Facebook friends who they're romantically interested in. If one of those interests has also added you to their Secret Crush list, the app matches you up. Currently, Facebook Dating allows people to discover matches in their friend circles in Colombia, Thailand, Canada, Argentina and Mexico — and as of Tuesday, they're expanding to 14 new countries: the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Laos, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Guyana and Suriname.
As Wall Street Journal columnist David Pierce tweeted, Facebook is saying "the future is private," but it's also saying "please list all your friends you want to sleep with."
And while Facebook's focus on privacy might sound like a reaction to the scandals the company is presently facing, it actually has a history of talking about privacy at the conference, with limited results. For example, at last year's F8, Facebook announced a Clear History feature that would keep users from being tracked on the Internet.
The privacy tool has been delayed, with the company saying the feature will harm its ability to target users with ads, The Verge reported. Former employees told BuzzFeed News at the time that Facebook's prioritization of privacy is "all about optics".
That's not the only instance where Facebook has talked about a privacy feature that never rolled out. At F8 in 2014, Facebook announced Anonymous login, a feature that would let you use your Facebook account to log into websites (so users don't have to manage multiple passwords) without sharing any of their personal information from Facebook. This would allow people to use the apps without worrying about their personal information. Five years later, the feature is still nowhere to be seen, so it's probably best to take Facebook's latest announcements with a dose of skepticism until we actually see the changes go live.

My son kept us updated....we did not have cable TV the last Olympics and I had forgotten he has never seen the Olympics. He was simply awed and bedazzled by the opening ceremony. I did catch clips here and there when it warranted such viewing, lol. Such as the introduction of the countries. Have beautiful day, friend.ReplyDelete
I totally forgot about the Olympics starting. Good video. I really like your header. Reminds me of Walnut Grove and "Little House on the Prairie". Have a blessed day.ReplyDelete
I missed that part of the ceremony but what I did see was awesome.ReplyDelete
No I didn't. The only tv we watch lately is Netflix.ReplyDelete
The poem is a good one!!!

text: DS Automobiles & Auto Works has touched the BMW M4 Coupe and has delivered a head-turner that doesn't employ hues that make your eyes roll. Pyrite Brown Metallic is the choice of color selected from within the BMW Individual catalog and the exterior design has also been freshened up thanks to the use of a set of alloy wheels form Hamann. The high specification performance coupe has also received a myriad of M Performance parts, including a blacked out grille and a carbon fiber splitter attachment highlighting the M colors. If you'll see the back of the M4 – most other road users will be treated to this view as the model heads into the distance – you'll marvel at the Akrapovic quad sports exhaust system with massive round tips tucked away nicely in the dynamic diffuser. The all new exhaust system is mated to the standard 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder mill that has 431 PS (317 kW) and 550 Nm (405 lb-ft) of torque on offer. No pics with the interior have been shown by DS Automobiles & Auto Works –though judging from the exterior it would be a shame not to adorn the cabin with some M Performance goodies to showcase the updated styling. BMW also recently updated its M Performance catalog for the M4 with lots of new additions, including a carbon fiber rear wing, carbon fiber side mirror caps, a new exhaust system, glossy black grille, CFRP inserts and numerous tweaks that can be bestowed on the interior as well.

Uneventful would not be the way to describe Apple's first day with us. Excalibur certainly ran her a bit down the fence line but she knew to explore her options and keep going. He didn't make contact, but certainly ran her like they would mares in the wild, ears pinned, galloping flat out and snaking directing her moves. He kept it going for a few minutes, before they settled into the corner down by the gate and went back to back with X getting kicked and being on 3 legs…still driving her though and not missing a stride. Luckily no long term damage, but lame for sure. Once the initial exchange took place, X settled down knowing that Apple knew her place. The occasional reprimand at the water tank and lots of comfort and mutual grooming, X has now taken Apple on as his and is quite protective of her.
Aria accepted Apple as our second introduction and Apple wanted to rule the roost at first. Aria, in her bold way blocked Apple many times, with shear strength of body weight. The unusual behavior from Aria was her display of sexual interest which continues today as she sniffs Apple while "winking" sporadically. Squeals, kicks and mutual grooming allowed them to move forward to become quite connected. Apple seeks Aria out when she is fearful or being charged (over the fence) by Honey.
Honey dislikes Apple, to the point of charging the fence line continuously. It is not safe to put them together and we shall be
spending the week with them in at night to try to gain more acceptance. They have individual runs so Apple can remove herself and away from the aggression. She is totally upset by her disruption of the herd and has no time for Apple. Pacing the fence, ears back and wishing to make contact with her physically is how the day is spent. Conversations with Honey about acceptance and Apples role have been explained to her as a lead mare.
Apple is truly a gem. Vin spent hours fixing the fence line before winter hits and she followed him around gently and respectfully. She is becoming comfortable with a stall at night and spends her days outside with either X or Aria at this time. Time will tell when its right for us to open the gates for the herd to be together.

Against the high-scoring Wisconsin Badgers, the Ohio State women's hockey team failed to sustain momentum after its opening-weekend victories against Lindenwood, getting dismantled twice.
The Buckeyes allowed 15 goals on 102 shots in the two games, including a combined five first-period goals. Conversely, the Scarlet and Gray only took a combined 29 shots of its own in the two games.
The third-ranked Badgers' goal scoring opened early on Saturday when sophomore forward Emily Clark tallied a point 30 seconds into the game. The Badgers would proceed to score three goals on the power play in the third period of the first game, en route to topping the Buckeyes 7-0.
Special teams play had been an emerging strength for OSU early in the season, but the series against Wisconsin demonstrated that there is still plenty of work to be done.
In addition to the three goals the Buckeyes allowed with a player in the box, the Badgers scored a goal while on the penalty kill on Saturday. The Buckeyes went 0-of-4 in power-play opportunities on Sunday, which ended as another lopsided loss by the final score of 8-0.
The squad's strongest period of play from the weekend was the second period on Sunday, when OSU recorded nine shots on goal and successfully killed two penalties, and despite the penalties was able to control the pace of play for much of the period.
The Buckeyes will look to get back on track when they return to Columbus for their first home series of the season against Minnesota beginning on Friday. The puck is set to drop in the first game at 6:07 p.m. and 2:07 p.m. the following day.

In what should come as no shock to anyone, except for the revelation itself, former FBI Agent John Guandolo was on the Tom Trento Show on February 8, 2012. During his appearance, Guandolo said that the man Barack Hussein Obama has nominated to be the new CIA Director, John Brennan, converted to Islam while Brennan was a CIA Station Chief in Saudi Arabia.
Here's the YouTube video of Guandolo's statement, in toto. His segment begins at about 11:00 into the video.
The fox is in now charge of guarding the hen house. Where are the Republicans? If Brennan is confirmed for the position, you can draw some very sinister conclusions as to how deeply mired in Islam our government really is.
And, based upon the selection of this particular man to hold the most important intelligence-gathering job in the world, what conclusions should we draw as to who Barack Hussein Obama really is?
With thanks to Kathy P. and Carol B. for the link.

There would still be an FPS. It would be faster though, because the processor would not take up any time calculating and drawing the graphics. Getting rid of the graphics will be a big project though, so don't expect it any time soon.

maybe storing the cost with the flag would work. So we only need to recalculate these values when a warehouse is build. However Nordfriese currently tries to build a swcenario AI which seemd to built a better road system, although I did not analyse the difference Perhaps I'll find to look into that as well.

Do you mean that each flag (not on AI side) will store distance to nearest warehouse? Or it should be done on AI side on flag observer? I can imagine to have this info with expiration time, so it would be recalculated when flag is to be considered as a candidate and if the info is older then X minutes. Also note that not only new/lost warehouse, but change in road network can change distance to nearest warehouse...

I meant to store this on Ai side only. However this was just a quick thought and is not fully elaborated. I agree about the triggers for new distance though. Having done this every x seconds (expiry time seems to be a good idea in this case.

I did not mean real time scoring of every decision, rather at the end of a game the AI scores its dna file with bonus/malus scores depending on whether it won a game, or its position in the score list, if it had partially got towards the win condition, if it got stuck and did not grow during the game etc.
I cannot coment on the projects I am working on due to NDA's, apart from Quest which in pre alpha sandbox stage and currently not public.

Just for information to everybody. I am currently analysing the Ai and its behaviour again. So far I found 3 bugs which would not vanish by training but need to be solved in the code first:
With these bugs fixed the AI performance might increase a good step. Branch will follow over the weekend.

Yes. Only exception might be Frisians, because of the multiple purpose of reindeer farms.
Sounds good

I think some "absolute score" would be needed for this. Otherwise I have no idea how you can compare scores from various maps and even consider strength of opponents as this should also reflect in the score...

Were there any other military buildings in that vicinity? Which map? could you provide me a replay / savegame?
Yes. and this makes this critical as frisans are favoured in this case However I hope to make the AI produce that much that it really needs second carrier.

For many years, companies in the manufacturing industry conducted their marketing initiatives in the traditional manner. They pushed out print advertising, direct mail, trade shows, public relations and more and hoped for a good return on their investment. Tradition was everything.
Today, however, manufacturers and industrial companies are jumping on the content marketing wagon not only because it is so much less expensive to produce and execute, but also because the return is so much greater.
Getting started with content marketing can seem overwhelming, however, but it doesn't have to be when a few principles are understood.
What is content marketing?
Sometimes it helps to understand what content marketing is by talking about what it isn't. Content marketing is not traditional advertising and promotions that are created and pushed out to a target audience. In contrast, content marketing works on the principle of pulling targeted prospects and customers to you through substantive content including white papers, case studies, articles, blogs, videos and more.
This is especially appropriate and relevant for industrial businesses where the sales cycle is typically longer than in other industries. The volume of content that satisfies prospect questions about solutions works directly to support prospect needs.
Where to start with content marketing?
The important thing to remember is that you don't have to create a content marketing program all at once. Inbound marketing is a dynamic process and content can always be created and re-purposed to keep your program fresh.
There are, however, some fundamentals that are critical to a hard-working content marketing program:
- Website. Your website is the hub of your content marketing program. This is where all of your content will reside and in many cases, you'll drive people back to view content housed on your site. If it's been awhile since your site has had a makeover, it's a good idea to connect with a content marketing agency to help you determine where your website is working and where it may need some updating. As a general rule, it's a good idea to visit your site with a critical eye every six months to make sure it's current and it's keeping up with digital marketing trends. The goal is to inform visitors and make the experience as easy as possible for them to learn about you and your solutions.
- Content marketing strategy. Defining your goals will drive how you roll out content for your business. Do you want to prioritize leads? Are you interested in creating a thought leadership position? There's no right or wrong answer. Understand what is important to your business today—and long term—and work toward those goals.
- Review current content. You may be further along in the content marketing process than you think just by having various communications assets already created. Product brochures, data sheets, case studies, etc. all have a place in a content marketing program.
- Work the funnel. The visitors to your site will be in various stages of interest in your business and solutions. They'll range from merely interested to engaged and ready to purchase. Understanding this will help you create varying levels of content to meet those different needs.
Content marketing will bring great advantages to a manufacturing business but it's important to remember that it's not a set-it-and-forget it proposition. Interactions with prospects and customers is a dynamic process and staying current with content will position you as innovative and someone ready to do business.

1. In the story of my life the actor who would play me would be.... I have a issue, it drives my husband batty. I cannot remember actor's names. So I will say the lady who plays the wife on everyone Loves Raymond, her TV name is Debra. That is so sad that I would admit that is my life
2. If I could change one thing about the world it would be... how we see children. How we look at people who have more than a couple of children, how we talk about our children, how we treat children.
3. Yesterday... I felt good and it was a wonderful feeling, I felt like I had a brain and I had no aches and pains
4. My favorite comfort food is.... KFC fried chicken with mash potatoes and gravy and green beans and a side of banana pudding
5. My new favorite blog find is...I am sorry to say no one new because I have not had a chance to look around much recently but I look forward to finding everyone else's
6. If I could meet any blog friend (who I haven't met yet) in real life, I'd choose to meet... a friend called khourtney, she had a preemie about the same time I did and I have watched her struggle, I have seen her Faith. She is a amazing mom and a amazing cook and I could really see us being best friends if we lived closer
7. My favorite breakfast food is.. Homemade biscuits with gravy and scrambled eggs

A new review of the four pound Dell XPS M1330 with 13.3-inch display has been posted at NotebookReview.com
The review machine is a pre-production build of the XPS M1330, with a 2GHZ T7300 Intel Core 2 Duo (the laptop is based on Intel's Santa Rosa chipset), along with 2GB of memory and a 160GB SATA Hard Drive. Similar to a previous review/first-look, they compared it size and style wise with the Dell XPS M1210.
Excerpt about the work on the design that Dell put into this:
The hinge on the M1330 is quite unique, it's very rounded in its look and rotates to bring the screen about even with the keyboard for a slightly lower overall profile. The LED backlit screen is super thin, which keeps weight down and again contributes to the looks. An integrated web camera sits at the top of the screen, it's well hidden but noticeable.
Overall we have to say that the M1330 is one of the best looking notebooks on the market today.

It's probably best to start at the beginning, or the middle maybe, better to keep your interest.
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 16 and it wasn't until the age of 23 while staying in the mental hospital that I was diagnosed with autism as well. Even with the diagnosis' I just kept working. I figured as long as I could just work and hold down a job than every other part of my life would seem normal.
Only, it didn't work out that way. I have had in my lifetime over 50 jobs (many of them entry-level) and still, with my mania lost control of my life on numerous occasions.
As I write this now I have a job, entry level at a coffee shop, that I am trying my hardest to hold onto for dear life, despite the overwhelming low of depression I'm currently in.
Just a few months ago, five to be exact, I had this awesome idea come to me… again as most ideas do, they sometimes come back around until you act on them in a manic state. I wanted to start a business, a big beautiful wonderful business. It was going to help SO many people here in the community. Numerous reasons as to why it didn't work. There were large agencies that wanted to use services but not pay for them, competitors that turned nasty, but above all the number 1 reason it didn't work….
I was MANIC.
I was running on borrowed energy. I thought I could work 40 hours a week AND run a business during the day, with only 2-3 hours sleep in between. It felt like sleeping was a waste of time because I had so much to do, my mind was always racing.
I did help some people. I had people coming to me that thanked me for what I was doing and the impact I was having, which I'm grateful for because maybe that makes it kind of worth it.
But mostly I started a business RAPIDLY and then had a bunch of people welcomed into my own little bipolar world… and for that I'm sorry.
It is a wild freakin' ride over here, you've really got to know what you're getting yourself into, and make sure you wear your seatbelt if you're going to hang out with me.
There will always be ideas… so many ideas. Maybe, that's the business I should start. Come sit down with me every 3 months or so and I'll shower you with unique ideas that can be put to good use by someone more stable and mentally rounded.
Of course, there is the other side of the illness, all engulfing lows that seem to swallow you up and leave you lying for days on the couch wondering why you have to live here… what's the purpose of life? Is there any meaning to anything we do or are we all just wandering around in a pointless existence? It does seem mellow dramatic now that I'm typing about it, but when you're in it… you are in it.
I'm the girl that waits weeks to do her laundry, has a to-do list that just seems to get longer and longer, only buys condiments at the grocery store,… has journal full of ideas that are meant for someone else.
THIS is bipolar disorder.
It's not like they portray on the movies, it's not any type of "beautiful mind" bullshit. It is random businesses and school drop outs, it's figuring out which way to walk to work because you want to avoid certain intersections because the people waiting for you to cross in their cars make you anxious.
This was the middle of the story. Maybe one day I'll write more about the addiction, the mental hospital, the self-care routine, the relationships won and lost… but for now because the business thing is really fresh and I'm trying my hardest to find a way to apologize to everyone who became involved in the whole ordeal… I thought I'd tell you honestly what bipolar looked like in my world.
Here's to everyone else out there trying to make it. Dealing with the mania, the depression and still holding onto what little dignity they can scrape up off the floor – along with their hearts, of course.
Remember: you are loved, you are worthy, you are blessed.

We raise all of our non-breeder quality females up for pork as well as any barrows that weren't sold off farm on the hoof. We are fortunate to have a lovely local market where pork is in great demand. We carry our regular cuts of pork like pork chops but was wondering what other cuts are out there. We have an excellent butcher that is willing to be adventurous. Are there regional cuts you have? How do you choose the breakdown a Large Black carcass for sale? We also sell halves and wholes but getting cuts that sell well is always good info to have.
Thanks for sharing!

We are getting ready to meet with a local upscale restaurant and are looking for any advice on what to charge?Member: Alaska Brian SchmittParticipant

Hello Angela at Townsend we pull the coppa or the butt(in english) out of the shoulder. We then roll whats left on the spare ribs and cut into roasting joints. We would normally cure the picnic into a small ham or we can debone and roll that as well. We can take the hocks off but if we're curing we would leave them as part of the ham. The rack is made into pork chops normally and the loins are made into boneless loin chops or barnsley chops if we're splitting the pig ourselves. The tenderloin is pulled out and thinly sliced and pounded into scaloppini. There are several things we can do with the rear leg. We can leave the chump and hock on and make it all into a massive old style ham or proscuitto or we can cut the topside, silverside, thicke flank, and chump out separately and steak it or turn them into roasting joints by rolling and tying. The belly we turn into prime bacon we do Streaky, Ayreshire, and British bacon. We like to do value added cuts since it doesn't cost any more for the butcher or killing fees and we sell the Ayreshire bacon for 20.00/lb rather than the 5 we would normally get.Member: AR whannaParticipant
While we are able to sell our pork both retail from the ranch and to a local restaurant, we have received some feedback that our pork chops seem to be smaller than those from comparably sized hogs of other heritage breeds. (Eg. Berkshire). We have processed them at weights between 225 and 325 and still find that chops are smaller than other heritage breeds. Has anyone else experienced this? Our feedback regarding the flavor is always outstanding! But in the restaurant world size and appearance is everything.
Thanking you in advance for any information.

Incidents of payments fraud are escalating at an alarming rate as fraudsters continue to outpace technology developers and law enforcement in their level of sophistication. Meanwhile, risk mitigation and the institution of greater controls remain a top initiative for all organizations, because for now—right or wrong—the onus for protection of our businesses and our customers is on us.
Fraudsters can be anyone, anywhere. While those committing check fraud are after your organization's funds, cybercriminals are more interested in stealing sensitive data, including emails, account numbers, credit and debit card numbers, and even the personal information needed to steal identities.
"Payback: Securing Your Payment Channels", the AFP Payments Security Guide, underwritten by MUFG Union Bank, N.A., is a companion piece to the "2015 AFP Payments Fraud and Control Survey." Designed to help treasury and finance professionals identify any weak payment channels or routines, it offers practical and preventive measures to improve payments security and protect your organization against fraud, and guidelines in case fraudulent activity does occur.
Featuring insights from the FBI Cyber Division, treasury professionals and AFP's own subject matter experts, the AFP Payments Security Guide provides treasury and finance professionals with the tools they need to protect their organizations against today's threats. Of course, no matter how many protections you invest in, your company's money and data will never be 100 percent secure. But just because the threat is real doesn't mean you can't prevent it from doing major damage to your business.

Niobrara-Verdigre vs. Creighton Football Game
September 09, 2014
On August 29, the Niobrara-Verdigre Cougars took on the Creighton Bulldogs for the first game of the season. The game took place at the Sage Brothers Memorial Field in Niobrara, Nebraska. The Cougars got off to a rough start with 2 fumbles in the first quarter. After the beginning, butterflies were out, the boys got themselves into a game with the score at the end of the 1st quarter being 14-8, in the Bulldogs favor. As the game went on, N-V continued to turn the ball over. At the end of the first half the score was 34-8, Creighton. After a long lightning delay, the Cougars finally came back to take the field and continued to struggle moving the ball on offense and failed to make stops on defense. The Creighton Bulldogs took advantage to the lack in production by the Cougars and took the dominant victory 72-8. The boys are working hard in practice after the tough loss and plan to improve for their next opponent, the Bloomfield Bees. Both teams are suffering from several injuries, however, the players are stepping up and are ready to go. The Niobrara-Verdigre Cougars take on the Bloomfield Bees Thursday, September 4th at 7 P.M. in Bloomfield. Hope to see you there, Go Cougars!

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)
★★★★ / ★★★★
It is the 65th birthday of the leader of the Pollitt family, Big Daddy (Burl Ives), and his daughter-in-laws are ready for a fight. Knowing that Big Daddy is going to die from cancer, Maggie (Elizabeth Taylor), married to Brick (Paul Newman), and Mae (Madeleine Sherwood), married to Gooper (Jack Carson), are desperate to impress Big Daddy because he has the power to sign over 28,000 acres of plantation to their husbands. Meanwhile, we learn that Brick, a former high school football celebrity, is an alcoholic, has recently quit his job as a sport announcer, and despises the sight of his wife. Attending the party and impressing people are the last things on his mind.
"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," directed by Richard Brooks, crackles with intelligent dialogue that cuts. Insults are shouted from across the room. The backhanded compliments are peerless in rancor while the low blows, like reasons why the very fertile Mae thinks Maggie and Brick are unable to conceive, are jaw-dropping and shameful. It is like being invited to a friend's family event and everything is awkward, embarrassing, and fascinating.
As each character is pitted against one another, we learn something new about them that either makes us detest them even more or understand, even just a little bit, why they feel the need to put up a front for others to see. While it is very entertaining to watch Brick and Maggie throw verbal spears at each other, the core of the film, at least for me, is Brick's volatile relationship with his dying father.
Both are hardened individuals who consider masculinity and being emotionally cold as a definition of being a man. I know men, young and old, just like them which gives the story resonance. Neither is happy with the way he has led his life. Although Big Daddy is successful financially, there is a lack of love–genuine love that hurts, tickles, and binds–among his family. He treats his wife (Judith Anderson) of forty years as someone who is essentially a waste of space and fails to give his grandchildren, as annoying and spoiled as they are, grandfatherly affections that they can remember when he is no longer around.
Based on Tennessee Williams' play, the film is criticized for downplaying Brick's homosexuality and his relationship with his friend, Skipper, who committed suicide. Released in the late 1950s, it was deemed that the subject matter was too risqué. Despite this, the powerful undertones does not escape those with keen eyes and ears. The word "friend" when discussing the late Skipper is thrown around so passionately, it is near impossible not to consider that perhaps there is something more between Brick and his former football buddy and what Maggie knows (or not know) about her husband.
"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," based on the screenplay by Richard Brooks and James Poe, shines a light on its acerbic and avaricious characters for us to judge. Despite their many negative attributes, Brooks ensures that they not simply be caricatures to be satirized. It dares us to sympathize with their private shames.

Hey all,
After participating in the Lagunitas Homebrew Competition this spring, my name was selected out of all of the homebrewing entrants whose beer didn't win to go out to the Lagunitas brewery in Petaluma, California to help brew a beer for release in the Chicago market. I went to California with two other folks from the competition and we brewed a beer based on the recipe of the contest winner, Steve Kamp.
The beer has now finished fermenting, made its way out to Chicago, and will be released in approximately 100 bars. Lagunitas has generously invited Chaos members to help celebrate the beer's release at Murphy's Bleachers on July 23, 2012. Drop by, try the beer, and snack on some food imported all the way from Petaluma. If you're interested, be sure and respond to this event so that Lagunitas knows how much food they need to order.
Hope to see you all there.

Music is my dilithium crystal core, my flux capacitor, allowing me to fly and travel in time. I cannot function without it. It makes me, in the words of a dear friend, soul satisfied. In this series, I will be writing about female musicians I admire and adore.
This is not intended to be exploration of all the outstanding or underrated female musicians around the world, this is simply introduction to some female artists who are important to me. While I can appreciate the flow of Middle Eastern female rappers such as Paradise, the hypnotic beauty of Malian singer Rokia Traore or the sheer brutal grindcore assault of Japanese female metal bands like Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation, I am first and foremost a lyrics person. I am a writer, a wordsmith, a letter wrangler and I need the lyrics to speak to me.
So first of my bold female artists is Courtney Barnett.
Australian singer, songwriter and guitar hero Courtney Barnett is everything teenage me loved about 90s bands like L7 and The Breeders. She looks like a real person, not an unattainable, ethereal acoustic strumming goddess or body-jacking, booty-shaking pop tart. And she rocks out. I mean she truly shreds. Her songs are at once deeply existential and comically mundane.
Erroneous, harmonious, I'm hardly sanctimonious
Dirty clothes, I suppose we all outgrow ourselves
I'm a fake, I'm a phony, I'm awake, I'm alone
I'm homely, I'm a Scorpio
Barnett's particularly perceptive Australian brand of bluntness comes out in her dead-pan delivery and poetic lyrics, which touch on the typical female singer/songwriter subjects one second (love, relationships, self-exploration) and then flip onto the perils of house buying, destruction of the oceans and food industry ethics the next. I am sick of female singers chirping away on songs someone else has written for them, rhyming 'you, true, through and do' or 'me, be, free and see', imploring their 'baby' to love them. I want to listen to Courtney Barnett's tales of trying to impress someone she fancies at the local swimming baths.
Held my breath longer than I normally do
I was getting dizzy
My hair was wet and frizzy
Felt my muscles burn, I took a tumble turn
For the worse, it's a curse
My lack of athleticism, sunk like a stone
Like a first owner's home loan
When I came to, you and your towel were gone
Sitting within the current wave of lo-fi female bands and artists that also includes Cate Le Bon, Warpaint and Childbirth, as well as being co-owner of the Milk! Records label, Barnett shows how indie is shaping the future of the industry, rather than the other way round. The DIY indie ideals of the late 80s and early 90s grunge and riot-grrl scenes, which seemed quite gauche at the time, have now simply become the way things are done. Making and sharing music is now easier than ever for women, and I for one am thankful for that.

Bootstrapping Remote Secure Key Infrastructures (BRSKI)
Approval announcement
Draft of message to be sent after approval:
From: The IESG <email@example.com> To: IETF-Announce <firstname.lastname@example.com> Cc: Toerless Eckert <firstname.lastname@example.com>, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, The IESG <email@example.com>, email@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Protocol Action: 'Bootstrapping Remote Secure Key Infrastructures (BRSKI)' to Proposed Standard (draft-ietf-anima-bootstrapping-keyinfra-41.txt) The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Bootstrapping Remote Secure Key Infrastructures (BRSKI)' (draft-ietf-anima-bootstrapping-keyinfra-41.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Autonomic Networking Integrated Model and Approach Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Warren Kumari and Robert Wilton. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-anima-bootstrapping-keyinfra/
Technical Summary This document specifies a mechanism for automated bootstrapping of an Autonomic Control Plane. To do this, a remote secure key infrastructure (BRSKI) is created using manufacturer installed X.509 certificate, in combination with a manufacturer's authorizing service, both online and offline. Support for lower security models, including devices with minimal identity, is described for legacy reasons but not encouraged Bootstrapping is complete when the cryptographic identity of the new key infrastructure is successfully deployed to the device but the established secure connection can be used to deploy a locally issued certificate to the device as well. Working Group Summary The document has been through two IETF Last Calls as the first one resulted in significant and substantial changes to the proposed mechanisms. Working Group had sufficient interest from the community on evolving the document since 2016. One topic that raised controversy was the reliance of the proposed mechanism on the manufacturer's identity management systems. The consensus was eventually reached on this topic. Document Quality There are indications of multiple independent implementations available and in progress, both open and closed source. The document went through multiple iterations of WG LCs by the core interest group, has received several directorate and Doctors' reviews, and went through two IETF wide last calls. Personnel Document Shepherd is Toerless Eckert. Responsible Area Director is Ignas Bagdonas. Suggested IANA Designated Experts for newly created registries are Michael Richardson and Max Pritikin. IANA Note This document requests to add new entries to existing Well-known EST, PKIX, DNS Service Names, and MUD Extensions registries, as well as creating new registry for BRSKI Parameters.

What Kind of Damage Can Mold Cause in My Home?
Mold is a type of microscopic organism that can occur both inside and outside of your home. Mold needs a source of food to grow and thrive and will feed off of different organic materials, including wood, dirt, leaves, paper and moisture. It digests these materials as it feeds and this leads to the destruction of whatever it is growing on. Mold can occur in a variety of colors, such as green, brown, gray, white and black, making it quite noticeable.
As long as the conditions are right, meaning sufficient organic material and moisture, mold will flourish. Homes in Florida are particularly susceptible to mold problems due to the high humidity levels in the air. Major weather systems and flooding similarly contribute to moisture levels, increasing the possibility of mold contamination.
Mold can wreak havoc in your home in a number of ways:
The growth of mold can damage furnishings, such as sofas, carpets and cabinets.
Shoes and clothes can become soiled and degraded.
Mold left unchecked can cause structural damage to your home.
It can contaminate the air and potentially lead to health issues for both humans and pets in your home.
Mold Damage Repair
If you notice mold growing in your home, it is important to stop the growth and remove it right away. Minor mold may only discolor walls and be a bit of a nuisance, but as it gets worse, structural damage can result. There are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to fixing mold damage:
Stop the Growth – You want to stop the growth by removing moisture and organic materials so that the mold no longer has a source of food. Like all living things, mold cannot flourish without food.
Assess the Growth – After preventing mold from getting worse, you will need to inspect your home to assess how far it has spread. Make sure to check both inside and outside of your home, especially in places prone to moisture like basements, crawlspaces and attics.
Remove the Mold – You must remove the mold completely or else the growth can recur. Professional mold removal helps to ensure complete removal and the right conditions to rebuild.
How to Get Started With Mold Damage Repair
It can be hard to know where to start when it comes to mold remediation in Florida. There are things you want to attend to right away to stop the growth and work toward removing what already grew:
Reduce humidity levels throughout your home to 50 percent or lower.
Ensure adequate ventilation throughout your home.
Remove all affected rugs, furnishings and other movable items in your home.
Identify any water problems and fix them promptly.
Use mold-killing products to target visible mold on walls and other surfaces that cannot be moved.
All homeowners need to be aware of mold and the potential issues that it can cause. It is a fixable problem, but it becomes more difficult to repair mold damage when left to fester, so you want to repair it right away. Even if mold seems to have been eliminated throughout the home, it still has the ability to grow back if proper measures are not taken to completely dry and aerate the source. Contact Florida Catastrophe Corp. for all your Florida mold damage. We will analyze, contain, remove and restore all areas affected by mold damage. Contact us if you're interested in our mold remediation services.

Daniel O'Donnell has admitted his next performance will be his most emotional to date, as he marks the anniversary of his beloved mother's death with a one-off charity concert.
The Donegal singer was left devastated following the death of 94-year-old Julia O'Donnell last May.
And although he has taken an extended break away from the music business, he has agreed to perform a fundraising concert next Sunday for Dungloe Community Hospital in tribute to the staff and carers who cared for his mother.
But speaking ahead of the gig, which takes place on the anniversary of his mother's death, the 53-year-old crooner admitted he will have mixed emotions when he takes to the stage in Dungloe.
He said: "We are looking forward to a great day at the concert. For myself and the rest of the family it will be tinged with sadness, as it was on this day last year that my mother passed away. I know she would be delighted that this concert is taking place, to raise funds for the hospital where she got such great care during her final days. So hopefully she'll send the sunshine our way on the day."
O'Donnell last performed in February as the star entertainer of an Irish-themed Caribbean cruise, before embarking on an 18-month break from the music business to spend quality time with his wife Majella, who was recovering from cancer. Tickets for the 1,500-seat Dungloe show go on sale on the day of the concert, for €5 each on a first-come-first-served basis.

Both male and females who are with stubborn fat and bumps makes you so annoying and does they do not show desired result with dieting and exercises?
Then the solution that many recommend is to go for Ultra-cavitation rf therapy. People who are in the constant desire to reduce their fat bodies, and to reshape their bodies, this works as the best solution. In general, we at Vernon Skin Clinic, Hyderabad performs this procedure for at least 20-40 minutes. And this completely depends on fat density, and location of obstinate fat.
This treatment works well for treating larger areas of fat instead of treating pockets of fat as because this can be treated with the method of fat freezing.
Cavitation involves of low-level frequencies those diffuse into the skin surface and due to of biological anomaly this creates bubbles between all the fat cells. Through the shock wave produced by this, it gradually reduces the fat cells those are responsible for the growth of fat. Then after, the melted fat cells are released into the interstitial fluid and it is enzymatically metabolised to free fatty acids and glycerol.
While RF is the non-invasive technology where this procedure makes use of applicator to insert heat into the cutaneous nerves. This heat procedure shows way to enhance microcirculation and movement of excess fluid so that fat cells starts to reduce gradually.
So, this state-of-the-art technology shows its effect into the deeper layers of easily reduces the fat around corresponding body parts.

However, industry agency experts believe the "emperor's new clothes" need to button up processes to support a tighter fit. James Harris, chief digital officer at media agency Carat Global, believes programmatic has been somewhat guilty of throwing ads at people and pushing the industry back to the days of the pop-up advertisements, when many predicted the end of online advertising. "Programmatic sits at 1.0, which is about hitting people many times, because they're in an audience pool," Harris says.

(LiveScience) Older adults living in the southern United States have fewer healthy years of life ahead of them than those living in other parts of the U.S., according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Researchers measured "healthy life expectancy," or how many years a person can be expected to live in good health. (Healthy life expectancy is thus a certain percentage of a person's total life expectancy.)…
Many factors influence people's health as they age, including such healthy behaviors as exercise, not smoking, receiving medical services such as vaccines and cancer screenings, and having access to quality health care, the report said.
"The results presented in this study can be used as a baseline for states to monitor the [healthy life expectancy] of persons aged 65 years as they age, identify health disparities among subpopulations and target resources to improve population health," the report said.
Community: A healthy lifestyle can increase the odds of living a longer, healthier life. We can beat the stastics![Click the title, above, to post a comment.]

Diving, sailing, jet-skiing...when it comes to marine thrills Dubai has it all. With more than 50km of pristine coastline, watersports are popular in Dubai. Making the most of the clear skies and temperate days, you can opt for a leisurely dusk sail, high-speed tour on a jet-ski or something a little more daring like Flyboarding or Seabreaching. Here's a guide to the best aquatic activities.
Dubai's warm waters offer scuba divers year-round diving and a host of five-star experiences under the sea. Both first-timers and experienced divers are catered for at Atlantis Dive Centre, which has a qualified team of PADI Instructors and certification courses. Located at Atlantis, The Palm, the Atlantis Dive Centre offers a variety of marine experiences in the Ambassador Lagoon – the largest open-aquarium in the region.
Explore the lost city of Atlantis and its 65,000 marine animals from a range of snorkelling and diving options for kids, families and expert divers. Want to experience something a bit more daring? Dive into the depths of the ancient ruins amongst rare sea creatures, or embark on a predator dive to hand-feed up to 14 different species of sharks and rays.

For the thrill-seekers out there, this latest watersport just might catch your attention. The Seabreacher is a new-age water adventure that lets you hit the waters like a shark – literally. Although this is technically a mini-submarine in the shape of a shark, the vehicle is almost like an aircraft with a powerful 260hp engine, reaching speeds of up to 100kmph. It even mimics the tail movements of a real shark and can jump up to six metres out of the water, hence the name.
This is perfect for the more adventurous who want a unique adrenaline-filled moment. Try it at Rixos The Palm Dubai, Kempinski Hotel Palm Jumeirah or The Beach at JBR – with prices starting from AED500 per person for a 15-minute ride.

Flyboarding and hoverboarding with Searide Dubai is definitely the closest thing to flying freely above water. On one of these flyboards, you can enjoy elevated views without having to jump from crazy heights or hanging off old-school parachutes and boats. This one-person water-propelled flyboard can shoot up to nine metres in the air and keep you afloat – if you can keep your balance.
A 20m hose is connected to a personal watercraft, pumping water at extreme force and redirecting the water output to two jets on the bottom of the board.
It's an exhilarating experience to say the least. Don't worry, because there are instructors to guide you through everything. Remember to bring a trusty videographer with you to capture all the action! Prices start from AED300 per person for 20 minutes. It's the perfect addition to any adventure holiday in Dubai.

There's a thrill for every adventurer in Dubai. Hold on tight as you go tubing along the waters of the Gulf with Sky and Sea Adventures – expect plenty of bumps and squeals of laughter along the way. If you'd prefer a slower pace, book a stand-up paddleboard ride with the experts at Kite n Surf. The company organises sessions at the city's best beaches, including Kite Beach that impresses with views of the iconic Burj Al Arab in the distance.
Wakesports are also very popular in Dubai, especially in the cooler winter months. Beginners and professionals can book some wakeboarding, wakesurfing or waterskiing time with SeaWake for an unforgettable day out in the sunshine.

If there were any doubts about Dubai's love for kitesurfing, all you'd have to do is visit its namesake, Kite Beach. It's on this patch of sand that both amateurs and pros attempt their hand at this extreme sport, thanks to plenty of lessons and hiring facilities like Dukite. The sport requires you to grip onto a handle attached to a parachute – which you then manoeuvre to increase speed and change direction. Not only is it a wild ride, it's also a great full-body workout.
Swap the board for just a parachute, and you've got parasailing. This uninitiated sport doesn't require experience with manoeuvring through the wind, because you are pulled behind a boat on a parasail that will lift you up to almost 150m in the air. It's an amazing way to experience the windy sport whilst enjoying the elevated view of Dubai.

Have fun on the water and at the same time take in some of Dubai's famous landmarks with a jet-ski session.

Each tour is accompanied by a qualified instructor and you can go as fast as you like, for anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. The 30-minute tour takes in the Burj Al Arab while an hour-long session takes you onwards to Jumeirah Beach Residence.

Note also that the first strokes of many letters start a little below the top line (shown as a dotted line).

Chakras are believed to be part of the subtle body, not the physical body, and as such, are the meeting points of the subtle (non-physical) energy channels called nadi.
Nadi are believed to be channels in the subtle body through which the life force (prana) (non-physical) or vital energy (non-physical) moves. Various scriptural texts and teachings present a different number of chakras. It's believed that there are many chakras in the subtle human body, according to the tantric texts, but there are seven chakras that are considered to be the most important ones. Chakra.
From an 1899 Yoga manuscript in the Braj Bhasa language.
Their name derives from the Sanskrit word for "wheel" or "turning", but in the yogic context a better translation of the word is 'vortex or whirlpool'.[1][note 1] The concept of chakra features in tantric and yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. Etymology[edit] Sanskrit chakra derives from the Proto-Indo-European *kʷekʷlos; its cognates include Greek kuklos, Lithuanian kaklas, Tocharian B kokale, and English "wheel," as well as "circle" and "cycle".[2] M. "Circle," used in a variety of senses, symbolising endless rotation of shakti.A circle of people.

A Russian scientist has been studying the human energy field and is claiming that people can change the world simply by using their own energy.
While this idea is not new, not too many have taken the time to scientifically go about proving such ideas -although the field of quantum physics has shed some powerful light on the topic over the years.

Subpersonal chakras are five chakras, in addition to the usual seven, that some yogis assert are located in descending order below the feet as far as about four feet (about 1.3 meters) below the feet.
Earth star chakra[edit] The Earth star chakra is a chakra believed by some New Age and Neo-pagan groups to exist in line with one's spine six inches (about 40 centimeters) below the feet[1][2] (thus, one would be carrying it with oneself six inches below the surface of Earth wherever one walks, and of course six inches below oneself wherever else one goes, as for example when flying on an airplane or doing rock climbing).

Rock Ridge Reports Record Annual Income and Earnings for 2013
February 14, 2014
LAKE ARROWHEAD, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 14, 2014) - The Board of Directors and Executive Management of Feb 13, 2014 Rock Ridge Resources, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: RRRI) are pleased to provide their shareholders and the investment public a financial overview of the company's 2013 performance along with a forecast for 2014.
Rock Ridge Resources recently reported their annual report with OTC Markets. The following is a summary breakdown of that report:
2013 Overview
During the 3rd quarter, the Company brought into compliance its Federal and State tax returns from
2007-2012 presenting a net operating loss carryover of $18,465,000 from previous years of operations by prior management. In 2013 the Company produced an annual income of $3,784,314 with a net income of $801,037. These numbers combine the oil factoring operations with Serenity Lodge, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
To review the Consolidated Unaudited Statements of Income-Tax Cash Basis Reporting for the twelve months which ended December 31, 2013, go to OTCmarkets.com. In left corner type in symbol (RRRI) and on left margin click on filings and disclosures to review financial report.
2014 Forecast
Rock Ridge specializes in three business operations: (1) Oil & Gas Factoring and investments in oil & gas stocks. (2) Alcohol-Drug Treatment Facility and (3) Real Estate Investing. The Company is focused on helping small resource companies gain faster access to the working capital which is essential for their success in the sale of their oil. In the 4th quarter, the Company began purchasing oil & gas receivables from approved clients and began equity investments in companies such as Exxon Mobil, Halliburton and Core Labs.
Serenity Lodge is a cutting edge alcohol-drug treatment facility located in Lake Arrowhead, California. At the end of 2013, Serenity Lodge's accounts receivable totaled $1,658,000 from operations. The company reports on a cash basis and does not use the accrual method of accounting. Portions of this amount are still being collected and will reflect on our balance sheet once attained. In 2014 the company will begin reporting on an accrual basis because its sales will exceed the $5,000,000 IRS requirement for filing.
In the earlier part of the 3rd quarter, after the recent completion of 2 newly constructed houses, the Department of Health Services approved 12 additional beds to our existing license taking the facility to 30 private licensed beds. Each Serenity client enjoys the comfort of their own private bedroom, setting the facility apart from most treatment facilities that require clients to share rooms.
KC Hollmer, President of Rock Ridge, stated that with Dr. Elwood Cohen, D.O. Board Certified Primary Care Medicine, and Academy of Family Practice joined Serenity Lodge in the latter part of the 4th quarter, our company is now considered a medical assisted facility and therefore it was decided to incorporate an in-house electronic medical billing system for its billings to all insurance companies yielding the company a savings of approximately $250,000 in annual fees.
Serenity Lodge is off to a strong first quarter. January billings were $1,249,000 from its clients to insurance companies for services while collecting cash income of $459,000 with a net profit of $149,000. End of month Jan 31, receivables exceeded $2,000,000, which includes current billings and carryover from year ending 2013. The Company will continue to bill and collect on its outstanding receivables during 2014 and report accordingly.
RRRI stock price closed at $0.34 on 12-31-2013

Hello everyone,
We have a brand new release for you!
IDM. Intelligent Dance Music. It might very well be the most loathed name for a musical genre ever. The name suggests rationally conceived music, or even music that contains no emotion. The two musicians behind Hydrus have a quite cerebral way of working alright. They program their own patches for electronic software and they love to work on their sounds endlessly. We were told they once tweaked the sound of a hi-hat for one whole week. Hydrus are obsessed with giving each of their sounds the room it needs, the right place in their music. They know how to isolate it or let the different sounds talk to each other. The end result is a graceful musical environment of their own.
On their early releases for Narrominded, their style was in line with IDM-icons like Plaid and Autechre. But Hydrus are slowly – it's almost ten years since their debut release, a split lp with Kettel – finding their own sound. On Nodes, they incorporate a tad of electronic jazz and deep dubby basses. Highlight is Micronaut, an emotional electronic track that goes straight to the heart. That's what Hydrus can do with technology.

vital weekly
'Dropping John Carpenter influenced keyboard noir (Serious Glass), analogue slabs with goth poetry lyrics (China Rain) and goose-bump guaranteeing synth arpeggios (Daylight).'
'Heat is full of such cinematic, mysterious spacepop with a slightly ominous undertone that you continue to return to.'
kicking the habit
Hunter Complex made an exclusive mixtape for Gonzo (circus) featuring new and old synth music and an exclusive version of the Heat album track Highway Hypnosis. Listen here.
Tune in to Kinky Star Radio, a very fine online radio station. They recently played some Narrominded stuff by Hunter Complex and Hydrus. Dig!
Not only did we had a very nice time at the incubate label market organised by our homies from Subroutine, Hunter Complex also did a very nice gig. 'Live @huntercomplex sounds even better than on his new brilliant album'. Read the reviews here.
That's it for now!
All the best from us at narrominded.com

Whey Protein Isolate
The isolate version we use does not contain casein or lactose, which are the components of milk that some people are allergic to. Very few individuals are sensitive to whey protein isolate.
After research, we eliminated soy as a possible protein base. Though it is a complete protein, it has an unpleasant, beany taste that must be masked. Second, and possibly more important, is that soy contains various enzymes that inhibit the digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. These anti-nutritional enzymes actively prevent you from getting nutrition. Soy protein is flexible in its texture and has a low cost, but the other attributes make it a poor choice for a general protein bar.
We researched using egg white, which is a widely available, complete protein and has a digestibility almost equal to whey protein. A major problem with egg white is that the sources of egg white protein process their powder in different ways. One batch might absorb a certain amount of water while another will absorb much less. It was this inconsistency that led us away from egg whites.

For the carrot cake:
1/4 cup ripe banana, mashed (about 1/2 of a banana)
1/2 cup vegan butter (preferably palm oil free)
1 cup vegan sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup non-dairy milk
1 cup peeled and grated carrots
(optional:1 cup of walnuts or raisins)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour whatever baking dish you are using. I used 6 mini bundt pans but you can also use two 8-inch rounds or a 13 by 9 rectangle.
In a stand mixer, cream the banana and vegan butter till smooth. Add in the sugar and beat for 2 to 3 minutes till light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and orange zest.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the baking powder, cinnamon, and flour.
With the mixer running on low, alternately add in the dry and wet ingredients, starting and ending with dry. Scrapes sides of bowl. Add in the grated carrots and walnuts/raisins if using. Mix just to combine. Divide evenly among pans.
Bake in preheated oven for about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on which size pan you are using. Let cool completely.
For the macaroons, I used this recipe from VeganBaking.net.
I followed the directions exactly, I just made small foil balls, lightly greased them, and pushed them into the macaroons before baking. Let them cool and then gently remove foil ball.
For the buttercream:
3/4 cup vegan butter
1/4 cup vegan cream cheese (I prefer Trader Joe's)
3 powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
Pink or red organic all-natural food coloring (I get mine from WholeFoods)
Cream together the butter and cream cheese till smooth. Add in powdered sugar, vanilla and food coloring. Beat till smooth. Add in non-dairy milk if necessary. Place into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
For the eggs, I used Satin Ice brand white fondant. They specifically state on their website that it is vegan. They use only plant based ingredients and their sugar is not filtered through bone char! I color small amounts of the fondant with all natural organic blue and green food coloring. I rolled the fondant into small egg shapes the right size to fit into my macaroon nests. I mixed some red food coloring with the green to create a brownish color and using a small sturdy brush, flicked some onto the little eggs to make them speckled.
To assemble, I piped the buttercream around the top of the mini bundt cakes. Then placed a coconut macaroon nest on top. Fill it with a little shredded coconut and placed 3 eggs in each macaroon nest.

Wedding In Provence
A brochure website, logo, print copy design project for weddinginprovence.net in collaboration with Mary Laik – Provence, France
Mary and Antonio wanted a website and invitation cards that was 'something pretty', yes, but also quirky, unusual and befitting of 'Provence' where they lived and planned to celebrate their wedding.
Technically speaking this is not a logo. However, I want to highlight how branding forms the basis for everything I create. We started with this beautiful 'handdrawn' font - which I have modified quite a bit to add a touch of 'deco' to the overall effect - and an illustrated horse and two riders. From this we established the basis for EVERTHING else; the website, invitations, everything. It suits them perfectly!
Look 'n Feel
After visiting Mary and Antonio in their hometown of Gordes, France, I experienced a little of their lifestyle, outdoors, fresh air, homemade, with the horses a daily feature among the fields of lavender and hay. This site needed to reflect their personalities and the land they would build the rest of their lives on. I used a soft paper texture for the background and revelled in vintage fonts and hand-drawn everything. I have used the fonts as images rather than text as this is the way I see them. Simple layouts and a humble use of images. Like a book more or less. Lavender blue of course... Truly one of my favourite designs to date.
Simplicity at its best, the website comes with the full package. The website includes all the necessary tools, as standard, to ensure speedy, efficient, legally compliant and safe delivery of all content from the server. Built on the WordPress platform.
Social Buttons
Contact Form with ReCaptcha
Security Virus, Firewall, Malware
Backup To Server

Keeping with the design and delicious play on fonts the invitation cards come in varying sizes. The idea is to tie them together with string as a bundle. The guests receiving them in the post will enjoy the 'unwrapping'! In collaboration with Hazel McNab (366hearts.com) for the hand-drawn horse.
