text: So as with moving to any country, there are going to be differences from what one is used to in the original country. Language/accent, geography, and climate/weather are going to be the most obvious. (No one's commented on my accent yet, but this place is so multicultural that that does not surprise me.)However, there are a number of differences that are quite interesting so far that aren't rightly obvious. Some of these are below. The subway is called the "Tube" or the "Underground". You have to push a button to get the door to open if you want to get in or out. (This is similar to other parts of Europe.) The "Tube" here is much better than the one in France, which was so gross I don't even want to think about it. Differences notable with respect to bathrooms: they have locks which indicate on the outside to others whether the stall is occupied. It might just be red v. white, but it's really handy. Toilet tanks and plumbing are located inside the wall. This is the case in the flat as well as outside establishments. Voltages are different in the bathroom that in the rest of the flat. They have plugs for "Shavers Only" which are 115/240V. Differences notable with respect to the kitchen: the cooktop has buttons for the burners. It's also separate from the oven itself, which is in the cabinet space. The fridge is also in the cabinet space, and looks like a cabinet. The separate freezer also looks like a cabinet. There's no place for a garbage bin (rubbish bin) and the garbage chutes (at the end of the hall) into which garbage goes are TINY. Energy saving lights here (in common areas) dim on and off rather than snapping on and off. It's much easier on the eyes. Almost everything requires a debit card. (The cards have chips, and you need a PIN as well.) Mobile subscriptions, landline subscriptions, internet subscriptions all require a debit card. They won't take your credit card for any of that. You also need proof of address to get a mobile in conjunction with a debit card. This whole debit card thing means it takes forever to get established with a phone and internet. This is quite frustrating. They don't appear to refrigerate eggs in many stores ("shops"). They're just on the shelves next to the tuna and baked beans. All the outlets in the flat have a dedicated on/off switch. If you want to use an outlet you have to turn it on first. People also seem to be much more relaxed here!

Out and about is a feature here on Fragments of Life for events and book launches. Today's post is about #CTCinPH - the Manila leg of Colleen Hoover, Tarryn Fisher and Christine Brae's visit to the Philippines.
|Tarryn, Colleen and Christine
Today, Sunday, September 13th 2015, I felt like I went to work (on a positive note) because I just spent seven hours with my blogger friends and amazing bestselling authors and brilliant NBS Staff. Remember all those Colleen Hoover (and of course Tarryn Fisher and Christine Brae) books you have stashed on the most secure, most seen spot of your bookshelf? You were probably out today in the area between Toy Kingdom and the Food Court at the lower ground floor of SM Megamall.
The Q & A with the authors was interesting. It was the first time that I interacted with New Adult (NA) authors. I am primarily a YA girl. The questions more or less revolved around the writing and publishing of books. A lot of aspiring writers would find the information valuable. So, here are the things I learned from Colleen, Tarryn and Christine:
Colleen Hoover
- Colleen could only see herself writing with Tarryn. She thinks that it might not work for all writers. With Tarryn, they kept sending the draft back and forth until it was finished.
- Her favorite thing about self-publihing is not having boss. Not having a boss means that there is less stress and it feels less lirk. The hard part of it is that there are thousands of books being released every day. There are countless amazing books that go unnoticed. It is hard to break into it when you're a new author.
- In Colleen's books, there is always a twist. She mentioned that she just waits for inspiration to hit her. She doesn't necessarily google or researrch stuff for her to be inspired.
- Back in 2011, the emergent "NA" genre still didn't exist. And yet it was this year when Colleen Hoover's book was published. She mentioned that she doesn't necessarily write a genre. She writes story that she wants to write. She only found out about the term "NA" or New Adult six months after the book was published. Colleen mentions that she is very disorganized when it comes to her writing. She tends to be manic, in which she has to allot consecutive days locked away to work on her book. She can't ever end with a sad scene because then she would feel sad. This is the reason why she puts humor into her books.
- She is actually experiencing writer's block because she doesn't know the name of the female main character. She has to know the name, in order to proceed to write the story. She also mentioned that the name of the male main character should always be unique and unforgettable because this is what readers remember.
- Writing is crazy. She feels that she lives more in a fantasy world, in her head, and she visits her house every now and then.
Tarryn Fisher
- For Tarryn, co-writing a story was enjoyable experience, Colleen and her did it for fun. She can't see herself writing with anybody else.
- Self-publishing is badass. It's a deviant movement because some people say that there is something wrong with their books and that it can't be published. However, based on Tarryn's experience, self-publishing is successful. The hard part of self-publishing is when people don't take you seriously.
- Tarryn's writing process: Feel something - anger, etc. Write daily, a few hours or so. Be in her character, to make it authentic (this involves reading books and watching movies that is related to her character).
- She doesn't think too hard about the character names. Whenever she is writing, and she would then need a name, it just drops into her mind.
- Good writing is a combination of believable characters, a good story and beautiful words. This can also be related to developing a style and reading a lot. She incorporates pieces of what she loves into her style.
- "Only you can see the world the way you see it."
Christine Brae
- Christine can't imagine herself co-writing with anybody, due to her busy schedule.
- Self-publishing entails doing it all on your own. You need to have your own resources, your own readers, etc. The good thing about it is that you can write whatever you want and when you feel that it is ready to be shared, you can share it with the world (aka self-publish).
- Christine's writing process: She starts from the ending and move backwards. (In fact, whenever she reads a book, she always reads the last line first. Just like I do.)
- Every character's name has a meaning in Christine's books. She researches the meaning of names before she uses them.
I have to admit that a big chunk of my book pile was written by Colleen Hoover. After reading Ugly Love and Maybe Someday, I have become a fangirl, indeed. There was something about her writing, something good and addictive. All of the books she wrote were superfluous in the narration. The plot and the story itself and the way in which it was told were all seamless. Enough of my babbling, I'm practically typing all this while I'm still high off of it.
|Me, the authors, Maricar from Blackplume and signed pretties!
|Bloggers :)
I have an extra copy of Never Never, signed by Tarryn and Colleen, for giveaway. This one is only open for Philippine residents. Sorry, my international lovelies, I will have something super nice for you soon!

23 October, 2019 – Tourism-focused digital marketing agency Dragon Trail Interactive is now tracking international travel brands' performance on Chinese social media platform Sina Weibo, establishing industry benchmarks and providing new insights into best practice for tourism marketing on Chinese social media.
The rankings cover six categories: national tourism organizations (NTOs), regional and municipal destination marketing organizations (DMOs), airlines, cruise lines, museums and attractions, and international hotel brands. Brands are ranked based on the total number of interactions with their Weibo content, including likes, reposts, and comments. Weekly rankings tables also include the number of followers for the account, number of posts, and the engagement rate. From January 2020, quarterly reports will identify leading accounts and content trends, and analyze data on the different categories of interaction (likes, reposts, and comments).
The new Weibo Rankings are an addition to Dragon Trail Interactive's well established and industry leading rankings for tourism brands on China's leading social media platform, WeChat. From January 2017, Dragon Trail has tracked NTOs, DMOs, airlines, and cruise lines on WeChat, ranking each of the four categories by total number of article views each week – data which is publicly available on WeChat, but not on Weibo. In April 2018, Dragon Trail added two new categories to its WeChat Rankings: museums and attractions, and international hotel brands. In addition to releasing weekly rankings, Dragon Trail publishes quarterly and annual reports on WeChat performance, including the leading accounts, most popular article topics, and other trends. These rankings and reports help inform strategy and illuminate consumer preferences for leading travel brands around the world. Data from Dragon Trail's WeChat Rankings have been used and reported on by travel industry media including Skift, PhocusWire, Jing Travel, Travel Daily China, TOM, and more.
Dragon Trail has collected and published weekly Weibo Rankings data since the week of 9 September, 2019. As of mid-October, we can see a much stronger presence of giveaways on Weibo than on WeChat, as these require interaction and so can easily achieve high engagement rates. Although celebrity content is popular on WeChat, too, it's even more prevalent among top-performing Weibo accounts. Based on the top accounts over the first six weeks, the strongest tourism brands on Weibo include the Tourism Board of Thailand, Turespaña, Tourism Ireland, NYC, Dubai Tourism, Texas Tourism, Emirates Airline, AirAsia, Iberia Airlines, Royal Caribbean International, Viking Cruises, Dream Cruises, the Art Institute of Chicago, the V&A Museum, Radisson, and Bvlgari Hotels.
Weekly WeChat and Weibo Rankings data can be viewed on the Dragon Trail Interactive website at www.dragontrail.com/resources/brand-rankings. The first quarterly Weibo Rankings Report, based on Q4 2019 data, will be published in January 2020.
What is Sina Weibo?
Launched in 2009, Sina Weibo is a Chinese micro-blogging platform often compared to Twitter. It has enjoyed a strong performance in the past several years, with notable revenue and follower growth. Sina Weibo surpassed Twitter in market value in 2016 and in users in 2017. As of December 2018, Weibo had 462 million monthly active users, 194 million of whom express an interest in travel. It is particularly popular with Chinese born in the 1990s, and is the preferred social media channel for influencers – also known as KOLs or 'Key Opinion Leaders' – in China thanks to its relative ease in reaching a large audience.
What is WeChat?
Launched in 2011 by Chinese internet giant Tencent, WeChat is China's number one social media platform, used by more than 1 billion monthly active users. An entire digital ecosystem, the app comprises chat, social sharing, official accounts that publish content, e-commerce, payments, light apps called mini-programs, and more.

Uganda activists fear Aids setback amid gay clampdown
Branded as "abnormal" and with politicians baying for blood, Uganda's gay community is being pushed further underground in what could be a setback for the fight against AIDS, medical and rights activists say.
Last week Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni refused to approve a controversial bill that would have seen homosexuals jailed for life even after lawmakers removed an extremely controversial death penalty clause. The president's decision was greeted with measured relief among gays.
But far from approving of homosexuality, the president merely conceded that they have a right to exist, and branded them "sick" genetic freaks. He also said lesbians were victims of "sexual starvation" because of their failure to find a man.
For Frank Mugisha, one of Uganda's most prominent gay activists, homosexuals are being driven into leading dangerous double lives and therefore indulging in risky sexual practices.
"The ones who wanted to come out will not dare to come out anymore," Mugisha said.
"African culture dictates that you have to marry in a heterosexual relationship and have children. And gay people are not going to stop having sex," he said. "HIV is going to be on the increase (and) people will start dying."
Uganda was once heralded as a success story in the fight against HIV. Museveni, one of the first African leaders to speak openly about AIDS, mounted a highly successful public awareness campaign in the late 1980s and 1990s, slashing the HIV infection rate from more than 20 percent to single digits.
Gays are far from being the main vector for HIV transmission in the country, health workers say, adding that heterosexual contact, in particular sex workers, continue to be the main cause.
But they say the ongoing debate in Uganda surrounding the anti-gay bill, which has had the backing of influential evangelical Christian and other religious groups, would damage their efforts to reach out to the gay community.
"We are going one step forward and then ten steps back," said Milly Katana, a public health specialist and AIDS activist who is herself living with HIV. "As far as HIV prevention is concerned, we are heading for a total disaster. It's a crisis."
Even if the law has been blocked, for the time being at least, health workers were alarmed by parliament's insistence that it be mandatory to denounce anyone known to be homosexual.
The provision was a reflection of what is already a reality in Uganda, where tabloid newspapers frequently expose alleged gays.
In 2011, prominent Ugandan gay rights activist David Kato was bludgeoned to death at his home after a newspaper splashed photos, names and addresses of gays in Uganda on its front page along with a yellow banner reading "Hang Them".
"We have communities that are at risk of contracting HIV and we put punitive measures in place against them and also against people who work with them. They will not be able to talk to people who are able to advise them on how to protect themselves," Katana said.
"We public health workers cannot do our job," she added.
Bildard Baguma, deputy secretary general at the Uganda Red Cross, agreed that there were consequences to the wave of homophobia.
"The issue of access becomes a problem," he said. "If these people go underground and can't access services, then it is likely to have a negative effect on the epidemic."
At the AIDS Information Centre in Kampala, staff have also been deeply worried over the impact on access to public health facilities for those most at risk - notably sex workers where HIV prevalence is 33 percent, and male homosexuals where prevalence is 12 percent.
"When these communities blend with the population, they tend to cause transmission of HIV," said Raymond Byaruhanga, a doctor who runs the centre.
"Therefore, it results in an increase of HIV prevalence in the wider community," he added, saying the general climate of repression against homosexuals was among several reasons that HIV rates in Uganda are creeping up again for the first time in two decades.
Other problems include complacency - the sentiment that HIV infection is not that bad given the availability of anti-retroviral medication - and misconceptions about the benefits of male circumcision.
According to the most recent figures, from 2011, the national prevalence rate rose to 7.3 percent from 6.4 percent in 2004-05 - and this prompted the Ugandan health ministry to announce earlier this year that it would open special clinics aimed at the communities most at risk of infection.
"If you don't target them... they will get infected and spread it," said Alex Ario, the doctor in charge of the healthy ministry's AIDS control programme.
"It will make our work more complicated," Ario said of the push for tough legislation, "because we won't be able to talk about the issues."

Halloween is not my favorite time of year. I love it for the mounds and mounds of bite-sized candy, but I hate it for the scariness. I am scared of everything.
My friend Pam just threw a little Halloween party, however, with the cutest details! I had to share. Cute Halloween stuff makes me happy. (It distracts me from the scary stuff.)
First, here's Pam and her cocker spaniel, Merlin, dressed up as the Black Swan and an Ewok! :)
Great costumes, right? Let's just stare for another moment at the Ewok!
I couldn't get over his level of cuteness. And she made both costumes herself!
Then, of course, Pam had a great spread, very colorful and all Halloween-themed.
Complete with awesome details.
(I think she said the stickers were from Martha Stewart!)
And let's get a closer look at those yummy cupcakes, shall we?
My favorites were the pumpkin ones with tootsie rolls for stems!
Even her beverages were Halloween-themed.
So fun, right?! More Martha Stewart stickers!
What a fun way to start off the Halloween season! Thanks, Pam!

She's coming together.
4 thoughts on "Slowly but surely"
Based on over half a century I've worked with and modified engines and from seeing your image, I'd add a spring-loaded idler pulley to the slack side of those drive chains. Without them, you're inviting resonance and resulting non-uniform power transfer. I'm eager to read some low Brake Specific Fuel Consumption test numbers. Good luck and I hope you can create the world's lowest BSFC engine.
Hi, I just thought up an engine with a similar 6 cylinder boxer layout, a couple of weeks ago. coincidence to see such a similar layout on youtube so soon. In my concept the two large pistons would be identical, and the middle would be smaller. The smaller would be acting as a compressor 2-stroking, the larger ones 4 stroking. 1) The middle piston (b) would compress and transfer, as the top large cylinder (a) sucked in the transfer from (b), and the bottom cylinder (c) was expanding after ignition; 2) the middle piston (a) sucks from the intake, the top cylinder (b) compresses, bottom cylinder (c) exhausts; 3) the middle piston b) compresses and transfers to the sucking bottom cylinder c), while top cylinder (a) ignites and then expands; 4) middle piston (b) sucks from intake, top cylinder (a) is exhausting, bottom cylinder (c) is compressing.
Any idea if this is an atkinsons or brayton cycle, and if it already exists?
[variation 1), the compressor might be designed to compress to 2:1 so leaving a partial vacuum in this cylinder as the larger sucking cylinder pulls at this air. This might have the advantage of smoothing out the fluid flow in the intake as the small piston will be sucking at tdc as soon as the intake valve is open. variation 2), the optional injection of steam – generated in an exhaust gas recuperator – into the expansion cylinder as a possible add-on]

Corporate Governance Guidelines
as amended December 5, 2019
The following Corporate Governance Guidelines have been adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Altaba Inc. (the "Company"), pursuant to the recommendations of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, to assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities. These Corporate Governance Guidelines reflect the Board's commitment to monitor the effectiveness of policy and decision making both at the Board and management level, with a view to enhancing long-term stockholder value. The Board intends that these guidelines serve as a flexible framework within which the Board may conduct its business, not as a set of binding legal obligations.
These Corporate Governance Guidelines are not intended to change or interpret any Federal or state law or regulation, including the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company. These Corporate Governance Guidelines are subject to modification from time to time by the Board pursuant to recommendations of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
The Company filed a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 4, 2019 and was delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC on October 7, 2019. The Company is currently winding-up its affairs under the courtsupervised "safe harbor" procedures of Sections 280 and 281(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law and in accordance with a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution adopted by the Board and approved by its stockholders. These Corporate Governance Guidelines shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this status and in light of the foregoing procedures for winding-up the Company's affairs.
Role of Directors
The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. A director is expected to spend the time and effort necessary to properly discharge such director's responsibilities. Accordingly, a director is expected to regularly attend meetings of the Board and Committees on which such director sits, and to review prior to meetings material distributed in advance for such meetings. A director who is unable to attend a meeting (which it is understood will occur on occasion) is expected to notify the Chair of the Board or the Chair of the appropriate Committee in advance of such meeting.
The Board's Goals
The Board's goals are for the Company to liquidate and dissolve in accordance with its Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution and in accordance with Delaware law.
To achieve these goals the Board is expected to monitor both the performance of the Company (in relation to its Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution) and the performance of the Chief Executive Officer, and offer him or her constructive advice and feedback. The Board is also responsible for overseeing major risks facing the Company as well as the Company's program to prevent and detect violations of law, regulation and Company policies and procedures. The Board will select, evaluate and, where appropriate or necessary, replace the Chief Executive Officer, and will, as requested, provide input to the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the selection and evaluation of the Company's principal senior executives. As appropriate, the Board will establish Board committees to assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities.
Selection of the Chair of the Board
The Board does not require the separation of the offices of the Chair of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. The Board shall be free to choose its Chair in any way that it deems best for the Company at any given point in time. When the Chair of the Board is not an Independent Director (as defined below), the Independent Directors will, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, annually appoint from among themselves a Lead Independent Director. The Chair of the Board or, if applicable, the Lead Independent Director will have such duties and other responsibilities as may be assigned from time to time by the Board. The current Chair of the Board is an Independent Director and has the responsibilities set forth on Exhibit A.
Size of the Board
The Company's Bylaws provide that the Board shall have such number of directors as are set by resolution of the Board or the Company's stockholders. The Board shall periodically review the size of the Board, which may be increased or decreased if determined to be appropriate by the Board.
Selection of Directors; Director Succession
The Board shall be responsible for nominating members for election to the Board and for filling vacancies on the Board that may occur between annual meetings of stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening and recommending candidates to the Board for Board membership. When formulating its Board membership recommendations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall seek a formal recommendation from the Audit Committee with respect to any potential conflict of interest a director candidate may have and shall also consider advice and recommendations from stockholders, management and others as it deems appropriate.
The Board, with the assistance of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, is responsible for overseeing director succession and shall maintain a director succession plan to address planned and unplanned vacancies to ensure the orderly succession of directors.
Board Membership Criteria
Nominees for director shall be selected on the basis of, among other things, the possession of such knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, integrity, diversity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, and understanding of the Company's business environment as may enhance the Board's ability to manage and direct the affairs and business of the Company, including, when applicable, the ability of committees of the Board to fulfill their duties, and considered in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at that time. Nominees should also be willing to devote adequate time and effort to Board responsibilities. Exceptional candidates who do not meet all of these criteria may still be considered.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall be responsible for assessing the appropriate balance of criteria required of Board members.
Other Company Directorships
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in making its recommendations, shall consider the number of other public company boards and other boards (or comparable governing bodies) on which a prospective nominee is a member.
A director may not accept an invitation to serve on the board of directors of any forprofit entity (including technical advisory board memberships) without first notifying the Chair of the Board or the Chair of the Audit Committee and receiving written approval from the Audit Committee. In addition, without specific approval from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the full Board, no director or director nominee should serve on more than three public company boards and no executive officer should serve on more than two public company boards, not including the Company's board or any boards of entities affiliated with the Company, or any board service undertaken on behalf of the Company. Directors and director nominees are also expected to limit the number of other boards, including non-profits, on which they serve in order to devote adequate time and effort to their Board responsibilities.
Additionally, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall advise the Board as to whether any member of the Audit Committee shall be permitted to serve on the audit committees of more than two other public companies, taking into account the Company's needs at such time and the qualifications and demands upon the time of such person. The Board shall thereupon determine whether such service impairs such member's ability to effectively serve on the Audit Committee.
Independence of the Board
The Board shall comprise a majority of directors who are not "interested persons" of the Company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act and who, in the business judgment of the Board, qualify as independent directors ("Independent Directors") under these Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Each director's relationships with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company) shall be reviewed annually, and only those directors (i) who in the opinion of the Board have no relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and (ii) who otherwise meet the requirements of the 1940 Act will be considered Independent Directors.
Director Resignation Upon Retirement or Change in Principal Occupation, Employer, or Principal Business Affiliation
A Board member, including the Chief Executive Officer, who retires or experiences a change in his or her principal occupation, employer, or principal business affiliation from the position he or she held at the time of his or her initial election to the Board or at the time of his or her most recent selection by the Board as a director nominee for election at a meeting of the Company's stockholders, whichever is later, shall notify the Board of such retirement or change in occupation, employer, or principal business affiliation and offer his or her resignation to the Board. Such notification and offer of resignation, in substantially the form prescribed by the Board, shall be delivered to the General Counsel and Secretary of the Company (with a copy to the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee) as promptly as practicable following the date of such change, or earlier, if circumstances allow. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall promptly assess the appropriateness of such director continuing to serve as a director (taking into account such factors as it deems relevant, including any input it elects to seek from the Audit Committee with respect to any potential conflict of interest) and shall recommend to the Board the actions to be taken with respect to such offer of resignation. The Board in its discretion will determine whether such member should continue to serve as a director and whether to accept or reject such resignation or what other action should be taken.
Retirement Age
The Board does not believe that a fixed retirement age for directors is appropriate.
Director Tenure
The Board does not believe that it should establish term limits in light of the Company's current status and strategy.
Board Compensation
A director who is also an officer or employee of the Company shall not receive additional compensation for such service as a director.
The Company believes that compensation for non-employee directors should be competitive and should encourage increased ownership of the Company's stock through the payment of all or a portion of director compensation in deferred compensation permissible under the 1940 Act.
The Compensation Committee will periodically review the level and form of, and, if it deems appropriate, recommend to the Board changes in, Board compensation. From time to time, the Compensation Committee may seek out or entertain reports from the staff of the Company on the status of Board compensation in relation to similarly situated companies. Such review will also include a review of both direct and indirect forms of compensation to the Company's directors, including any charitable contributions by the Company to organizations in which a director is affiliated and consulting or other similar arrangements between the Company and a director.
Board Access to Management and Outside Advisers
Board members shall have access to the Company's management and, as appropriate, to the Company's outside advisers. Board members shall coordinate such access through the Chair of the Board, and Board members will use judgment to assure that this access is not distracting to the business operations of the Company. Additionally, the Board and its Committees may retain independent outside advisers, at the expense of the Company, as they determine necessary to carry out their responsibilities.Board Interaction with Investors, Analysts, Press and Customers
The Board believes that management should speak for the Company. Each director shall refer all inquiries from investors, analysts, the press or customers to the Chief Executive Officer or his or her designee in accordance with the Company's policies.
Communications to the Board of Directors

Attendance at Annual Meeting of Stockholders
It is Company policy that directors are invited and encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Director Orientation and Continuing Education
The Company shall provide new directors with a director orientation program to familiarize such directors with, among other things, the Company's business, strategic plans, significant financial, accounting and risk management issues, compliance programs, conflicts policies, code of ethics, corporate governance guidelines, principal officers, internal auditor(s) and independent auditors. Directors may be expected, based on the recommendations of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, to participate in continuing educational programs in order to maintain the necessary level of expertise to perform their responsibilities as directors.
Self-Evaluation by the Board
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, together with the Chair, will oversee an annual self-assessment of each individual director's performance, including the Chair of the Board in that capacity, and an annual self-evaluation of the Board's performance and the performance of each Committee of the Board.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will utilize the results of this self-evaluation process to determine if the Board and its Committees are functioning effectively and in assessing and determining the characteristics and critical skills required of prospective candidates for election to the Board and making recommendations to the Board with respect to assignments of Board members to various Committees. The full Board will discuss the evaluation to determine what action, if any, would improve Board and Committee performance and whether any changes to these Corporate Governance Guidelines would be appropriate.
Frequency of Meetings
There shall be at least four regularly scheduled meetings of the Board each year. At least one regularly scheduled meeting of the Board shall be held quarterly, plus special meetings as required by the needs of the Company.
Selection of Agenda Items for Board Meetings
In preparation for meetings of the Board, the Chair (in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, if such positions are held separately), with support from the Secretary of the Company and such other officers as the Chief Executive Officer or Secretary shall designate, shall disseminate to directors on a timely basis briefing materials regarding matters to be included in the meeting agenda, as well as minutes from prior meetings and any written reports by Committees. Each Board member shall be free to suggest inclusion of items on the agenda as well as be free to raise at any Board meeting subjects that are not specifically on the agenda for that meeting.
Attendance of Management Personnel at Board Meetings
The Board encourages the Chief Executive Officer to bring members of management from time to time into Board meetings to (i) provide management insight into items being discussed by the Board because of management involvement in these areas; (ii) make presentations to the Board; and (iii) bring managers with significant potential into contact with the Board.
Board Materials Distributed in Advance
Information and materials that are important to the Board's understanding of the agenda items and other topics to be considered at a Board meeting should, to the extent practicable, be distributed sufficiently in advance of the meeting to permit prior review by the directors.
Sensitive subject matters may be discussed at the meeting without written materials being distributed in advance or at the meeting. Similarly, matters may be discussed at a meeting called on short notice in the event of a pressing need without written material being made available.
Separate Sessions of Independent Directors
The Independent Directors of the Company shall meet in executive session without management on at least a quarterly basis during regularly scheduled Board meetings.

In addition, the Board may determine to form ad hoc committees from time to time, and determine the composition and areas of competence of such committees.
Independence of Board Committees
Each of the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee shall be composed entirely of Independent Directors satisfying applicable legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements necessary for an assignment to any such Committee. All other standing Board Committees formed by the Board shall be chaired by Independent Directors, except where the Board, pursuant to the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, determines otherwise.
Assignment and Rotation of Committee Members
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall annually review the Committee assignments. After consultation with the Chair of the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall make recommendations to the Board regarding the assignment of Board members to various Committees. After reviewing the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's recommendations, the Board shall be responsible for appointing the members to the Committees on an annual basis. The Chair of each Committee may be appointed by the Board or the members of such Committee, as provided in the charter of such Committee.
Selection of the Chief Executive Officer
The Board shall be responsible for identifying potential candidates for, and selecting, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. In identifying potential candidates for, and selecting, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Board shall consider, among other things, a candidate's experience, understanding of the Company's business environment, leadership qualities, knowledge, skills, expertise, integrity, and reputation in the business community.
Evaluation of Chief Executive Officer
The Board is responsible for conducting or overseeing an annual evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer. The evaluation may be based on objective or subjective criteria, including performance of the business and accomplishment of operational and strategic objectives. The evaluation will be used by the Compensation Committee in the course of its review of the Chief Executive Officer's compensation.
Succession Planning; Management Development
The Board will review the Company's succession planning and senior management development on an annual basis. In conducting its review, the Board shall consider, among other factors that it deems appropriate, the Company's strategic direction, organizational and operational needs, leadership/management potential and development, and emergency situations. To assist the Board with its review, the Chief Executive Officer shall provide the Board with a performance assessment of senior management and their succession potential to the position of Chief Executive Officer, including in the event of an unexpected emergency, along with a review of any development plans recommended for such individuals. In evaluating the Chief Executive Officer's potential successor, the Board may consider persons outside of the Company and engage third party consultants or search firms to assist in the succession planning process. In addition, the Compensation Committee will periodically review the Company's organizational development activities in order to retain and attract top leadership talent. The Compensation Committee will report the summary results of these assessments to the Board on an annual basis or more frequently if warranted.

Thinking in the Clouds
In the past, problems were clear and only good answers were missing. Now, the answer is all in the cloud (online), but do you have a right or good question? For when you ask the wrong question, you will get wrong answers and that can be devastating.
Like many people asked me how they can use WeChat to sell to the people from China. That is a wrong question because this question presumes people from China will buy from you when you use WeChat. A better question will be "How do I reach out to the China people and make friends with them even when I am in Singapore?" To do that you can try 8 ways to add China people as your friends.
Back to our topic. As I learnt from this new book "Era of Cloud", people have become more and more ignorant. They spread fake news like true news. They believe what is on the internet and not use their own thinking and judge. Many people today still believe that airlines give out free air tickets and drinking water from disposable cups will cause cancer.
It is okay to be ignorant. It is NOT OK to be ignorant of your own ignorance. This means don't know what you don't know and yet appear to know.
So my friend, in this new era, because everything is stored in the cloud and we don't need to remember anything, we need to master one skill: thinking in the clouds. We must think by asking the right question to the cloud. That is intelligence.
Written by Andy Ng, a WeChat Sales Coach. Andy often dispenses little wisdom in his class, like he proclaimed that WeChat has a million features and most people only know of 28 features.

Paul's Letters: Courage for the Times…
Review of Paul's Third Missionary Journey: Acts 18.23-21.17
- Overview of Paul's route and cities of ministry: Acts 18.23; 20.1-16; 21.1-17
- The difficulties Paul faced in Ephesus:
- Acts 19.9: The rejection by Jewish leaders in the synagogue
- Acts 19.23-30: The revolt by Demetrius the cult of Diana
- The message Paul brought: Acts 17.2-3; 18.5,28; 20.21,25
- Where Paul began his teaching in Ephesus: Acts 19.1-8
- Where God moved Paul to teach in Ephesus: Acts 19.9-10
- The work the Holy Spirit did in Ephesus: Acts 19.11-12,17-20
- The treasure Paul carried in his ordinary body was the message of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Word of God—fulfilling what is written in the Law, the Psalms and the Prophets: Acts 20.20-21. He carried this treasure in a body that was often weak and tired and hungry and sick: 1 Corinthians 2.3; he may have had a troubling problem with his eyesight: Galatians 4.15.
- Paul lived in a world like ours where he was surrounded by Jews and Gentiles who were disobedient to God and who worshipped false gods. He faced dangers and difficulties everyday: 2 Corinthians 11.23-27. But none of these things kept him from preaching the message of the Lord Jesus Christ: Acts 20.24
- The Holy Spirit worked through his earthen vessel to work the greatest miracle of them all: changing the hearts of rebellious people to bow before the only true and living God. The act of the Holy Spirit was to awaken these darkened hearts to the message Paul was bringing…"and fear fell on them all, and the Name of the Lord Jesus was magnified…so the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed" (Acts 19.17,20).
Stepping Stones to Rome – Acts 21.17-26.32
Courage In Jerusalem (10 days):
- the attack on Paul by the Jewish leaders, and his confinement in jail; his escape from murder; escorted to Caesarea by armed Roman guards (Acts 21.17-23.33);
- Paul's witness of how God revealed the Lord Jesus to Him (Acts 22.3-21);
- God's encouragement to Paul (Acts 23.11)
Paul's Witness In Caesarea:
Paul speaks to the Roman governor Felix, to the Jewish leaders who follow him to Caesarea, held for two years in Herod's Praetorium; speaks to Felix, Festus and to King Herod Agrippa and appeals to be heard by Caesar in Rome (Acts 23.34-26.32):
- To Felix: "…This I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets. I have hope in God which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust. This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men…But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the Way, he…commanded the centurion to keep Paul and to let him have liberty, and told him not to forbid any of his friends to provide for or visit him. And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control and judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, "Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you." (Acts 24.1-25)
- To Herod Agrippa and to Festus: Acts 26.2-23: "I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers, to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jews, O king! Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead? I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth. …And…I persecuted them even to foreign cities. In this connection I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. At midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, that shone around me and those who journeyed with me. And…I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?' …And I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' And the Lord said, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen Me and to those in which I will appear to you, delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles—to whom I am sending you to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.' Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, but declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance…To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass: that the Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles." (Acts 26.6-9,11b-23)
In Roman Confinement – Acts 28.16-31
"And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who guarded him. After three days he called together the local leaders of the Jews, and when they had gathered, he said to them, 'Brothers…I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am wearing this chain.' And they said to him, 'We…desire to hear from you what your views are…' When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets. And some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved…He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance." (Acts 28.16-17,20,21,22,23-24,30-31)
Reflection and Prayer
As I meditate on the Apostle Paul's exciting journey to Rome, I pray courage for the Body of Christ in the shipwreck of this land, and for those who experience the grace of God in their unbelief only because they are in this shipwreck with us who know the matchless grace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ…
Father, Your servant Paul and our brother endured many dangers, difficulties and sorrows to bring Your Word to all the lands where You drew him to witness the Lord Jesus Christ. His faithfulness has multiplied Your Name and Your Kingdom to reach the peoples who came to this land. I praise You and thank You, Lord, for Your great grace in blessing my life to see the Truth You shared with Your servant Paul.
Father, I ask now, in this place where I reflect on Your goodness, grace and purpose, that Your Spirit would strengthen the Body of Christ in this land, as we face the shipwreck that looms in our journey toward Jesus' return. As Paul spoke courageously to the captain and crew of the vessel he occupied to Rome, let us speak courageously to those who occupy this American Ship in the same way: if they all will trust in the God in whom Paul trusts and teaches to this day in Your Word, not one will perish–only the ship will be broken.
Lord, protect the Body of Christ in this land from fear and anxiety and discouragement in this storm we face; give us the voice and bold kindness You gave our brother Paul who spoke the Truth to those who enjoyed Your grace because he was in the ship with them, although they had not yet embraced Your Truth. As Paul did, so help us redeem the time on this journey, that Your Name and Your Kingdom would be magnified and exalted.

As mother and son, Kathy Moore and Nick Blue founded Blue Sage Assisted Living from a unique perspective and with the goal of creating a loving environment and intimate setting with quality assisted living care, healthy food and a scenic backdrop. Their decision making principles can best be explained in their own words: "When it comes to questions regarding an elderly care facility, or the property as a whole, we ask ourselves 'Would we want to live in this home? Would we want our mother or father to live here?' If the answer is 'No', or we hesitate for any reason, then we make a change, it is really that simple," says Kathy.
Additionally, Nick points out "When we first founded Blue Sage, we did so with the promise to ourselves and one another that we would only create homes that we could be proud of, where our residents could live safely with dignity and surrounded by only the upper echelon of loving caregivers. After seeing other assisted living homes in the Phoenix area we knew there was an opportunity to provide something better. Blue Sage represents that mission and we will continue to ensure our assisted care homes live up to that promise."
Shawn Hern has joined the Blue Sage team as the Licensed Manager and Executive Director. He has been in healthcare for 16 years.
Shawn began his experience as a certified nursing assistant in Indiana. While attending college, he worked full-time at a nursing home and took care of his mother who, as a severe diabetic, received dialysis treatments. He quickly learned his heart was set to care for others. Since his mother's passing in 2010, he moved to Arizona where he successfully gained employment as an Executive Director and achieved a 'perfect survey' while transitioning distressed communities within Arizona and Oregon.
Shawn is a Certified Dementia Practitioner, First Aide/CPR Instructor and has recently been selected as a nominee board member of Arizona Assisted Living Home Association. In his spare time, Shawn enjoys keeping up on the latest home makeover trends, taking part in small real-estate investment properties, and traveling with his family.

Top 5: Rattiest Cities in the World
Top 5: Rattiest Cities in the World
Rats love people. Your perfect home provides the perfect place for a rat. Inside they can find food, water and shelter. Everything that makes you house an amazing place to live are the very reasons that rats want to become your roommates. Here are some of the rattiest cities throughout the world brought to you by your friends at Pointe Pest Control.
5. Deshnoke, India:
If you hate rats, do not visit the Karni Mata Temple. You will find thousands scurrying around the temple floor, yet no one will lift a finger to stop them, because here they are worshiped.
4. Paris, France:
Rats carry a lot of harmful diseases. Many will make you sick, while others are life threatening. No one knows this better than Parisians. During the Bubonic Plague outbreak of the fourteenth century, half of the people living in Paris died. Fast forward to today and you might not have as much human to rat interaction like in the dark ages, yet there are still a lot of rats lurking around Paris.
3. London, England:
If your home has a space the size of a quarter, a rat can squeeze its body through. If you don't take steps to patch up the hole, you will soon be sharing your dinner with a rat. Now imagine all of the old sewers running beneath the streets of London. Some exterminators have estimated that there are 7.5 million rats that call London their home.
2. Los Angeles, USA:
Unfortunately, in big cities there is always a problem with garbage. You get a few people that litter and that feeds the problem. The more litter and garbage the worse the problem becomes. In order to control rats around your own home, seal up garbage containers and don't litter.
1. Chicago, USA:
Rat infestations hit home. That's right, one of the worst places in the world for rat populations is right here in Illinois. If you have a rat problem, you do not need to worry, because there is a local solution. Pointe Pest Control is your answer to any rat infestation. We are serious about rodent control. Call us today.

The New Black Eagle Jazz Band
August 10, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The Black Eagles, as they are often known to their fans, have been a fixture on the international jazz scene since 1971, bringing the sounds of traditional New Orleans Jazz to audiences all over the world. Many observers regard them as the premier band playing in the traditional jazz style; as such, the band members regard themselves as the "Keepers of the Flame"!
The Black Eagles refuse to slavishly copy earlier jazz performances note for note. At all times, they are aware of the legacy and influence from such legendary New Orleans musicians as Louis Armstrong, George Lewis, Kid Ory, Sidney Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton, Paul Barbarin and, of course, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, just to name a few of those who represent the best in the history of New Orleans Jazz. They also have a good selection of Duke Ellington and Ragtime to spice the pot.

Roger revisits a topic that Skill Builder covered many years ago.
Skill Builder's original how to render video has been one of the channel's most popular videos but some professionals responded to say that they prefer alternative techniques.
Roger Bisby considers some of the points raised in response to the first video and shares some details about how to render that will help anyone taking on rendering for the first time with Roger's apprentice Jago proving that rendering is a skill that can be picked up easily with the right advice.
Roger discusses that scracth coat, how to check whether the render is flat and the ingredients and ratio for the best rendering mix.

You have a product or service to sell. You might be the brand manager, the brand owner, the advertising agency, or the graphic designer. But after some strategic work, the brief lands on your desk. Highlighted in bright yellow is the target market. It's aimed at Millennials. Good grief. Now what? They don't see the world like my generation did. They're different. They're so weird. They socialize virtually and know how to text and drive at the same time! They're can't be human. Panic sets in.
From Baby Boomers to Baby Busters, from Millennials to Generation Z to Generation Alpha. Underneath that manicured beard, behind that selfie-obsessed Instagram feed, people are still people. They will always need food, clothing and shelter. They will also always want to be loved, to laugh, to cry, not to mention get free stuff. And, they will also get older and see in the next generation of misunderstood freaks.
Technology is evolving at a much faster rate than we are as a species. Our options for communication are racing out of control. Our devices are faster, more connected, and now they're on the cusp of becoming biologically integrated. Before you know it, you'll know the recipe for Chicken a la King by just thinking about it. But that doesn't change the desire for Chicken a la King in the first place.
We've always communicated. It used to be poster on a wall that people would actually read, then it became the spoken voice over wire-less transmission, soon it will be in your personalized augmented world through smart contact lenses for only you to see, hear or touch. No matter how technology changes the ways to connect with people, the things that make us human remain the same.
An old man walks slowly into town and goes into tailor shop which he heard about through word of mouth. He would like a tweed blazer to be repaired. It has a small tear on the lapel from a ZCC badge that was placed there far too many times over the years. Across the street, a 19 year old girl walks into a tattoo parlor. She read a hundred reviews online before going to this particular one. She's getting the finishing touches of that intricate geometric pattern based on the Fibonacci sequence that runs from her groin all the way and up to her neck, finally disappearing into her hairline.
These two people are 50 years and 4 generations apart. But they're buying the same thing – esteem, pride, confidence, love and social security.
If you're not selling health, food, water, sleep or sex, you better be selling love, respect, success or happiness. Seek out those universal truths, make them look pretty, make them fit all the formats of all available smart devices, make one live in a VR headset. But more than anything, if you make sure it's human, if you make sure what you're saying or showing connects with those fundamental cornerstones of humanity, then your message will resonate – no matter how it's sent out or who is receiving it.

At present, only agricultural ingredients are covered and labelled as organic by the statutory regulations globally. Consumers assume organic means grown 'naturally' and not containing any pesticides or other chemicals. In fact, organic food regulations do allow the use of pesticides, with additional accidental pesticide contamination resulting from persistent pollutants, as well as intentional contamination, through the unethical avoidance of directives or exploitation of ambiguities in statutory regulations.
There is still a lot of work required to improve the quality of organic products; not only food but all goods producers and service providers need to be encouraged to work within a circular economy perspective.
Organic products as a whole, including packaging, should meet the highest human safety standards, be of natural origin wherever feasible and be fully safe for the environment.
At the Organics Council ®, we understand that, in the real world, not all products can be made in a 100% natural way, as not all goods can be farmed or are ready for use without further processing. Still, it is possible to design goods and services with a fully sustainable life cycle, where businesses deliver products and services that are the safest possible for both human beings and the planet.
Today's organics industry is mostly focused on meeting minimum legal requirements, instead of adhering to the three organic core principles.

As Autumn is officially in full swing, I've completely wiped the thought of getting anymore nice weather from my mind and moved on to getting excited about those little things that make the A/W months bearable. The nights are drawing in and the atmosphere is turning eery but that's even more of a reason to look forward to cosy nights in front of the fire, pumpkins, horror movies, lots of food, piping hot drinks, candles, fireworks, rain tapping on the window whilst you sleep, snug scarves, oversized jumpers, wearing nothing but monochrome, bringing the burgundys and the greys out and so much more.
Back in the summer I made a bucket list of wishes I'd like to complete and looking back, it seems I did well at managing to stick to most of them which is why as the season has changed, I wanted to create another associated list. I love making (the non extreme) bucket lists, you can not only look back on them to see how you've managed to add the simple pleasures into your daily routine naturally, but it's something you can desire to reach when you need reminding how one small goal can keep your happiness at bay.
1) Have a dedicated duvet, fire and film day. This is something that I wish to do most days but never actually manage to treat myself with the luxury. I believe a huge duvet, a burning fire (not an actual blaze obviously) and a good rom com or two is the cure to all evil. Especially when it's cold and you've had a busy day, it's the perfect way to unwind.
2) Appreciate the fresh air, the branched trees and the crisp, fallen leaves. Nature is a beautiful thing, especially in autumn. I don't think I ever look on the positive side of miserable weather and find myself grumbling way too often. I want to turn this around this year and take more autumnal walks in the local parks, gardens and so on admiring the lovely views and maybe even whipping my camera out.
3) Get into the Halloween spirit. Just because I've passed the teen stage, doesn't mean to say I have to be boring when it comes to Halloween. Usually I am, the furthest I go is carving a pumpkin (very badly) and then placing it on the windowsill, drawing the curtains behind me. I don't even take charge of answering the door when the kids come round, I just pinch their sweets and chocolates for myself. This year I want to at least get into the mood. It doesn't look like I'll be going to any Halloween related events but I could participate in something Halloween related at home.
4) Attend a bonfire/firework display. I haven't been to a firework display for so long. As a youngster we always made sure we went as a family, it was tradition. Now, I just find myself rolling my eyes at the sound of non stop fireworks interrupting my nightly television watching. This year I want to go soak in the atmosphere, eat some bonfire toffee and watch the naff fireworks spiral uncontrollably.
5) Go on a bike ride. First of all I'd need to buy a bike. It is on my list and I will get round to it eventually. I thought putting it on my bucket list for autumn will push me into buying it quicker and building my motivation to get some well needed exercise but for the kind of bike I'm looking for I think I'll have to build my bank balance first…
6) Buy more amazing candles (read: Yankee, Neom, Diptyque etc etc) and light as many as I can on a cold, dark night. I feel like upgrading my candle collection this year to something a bit more high quality which in turn means a stronger and more relaxing scent. I'm especially wanting some Pumpkin Spice/Cinnamon smelling candles because I caught a whiff of one the other day and by god, are they amazing. Candles are certainly the way to my heart.
7) Change up my choice of makeup. With the colder days drawing in comes a complete switch of makeup. Darker lip colours, a heavier base, smokey eyes, and bronzed cheeks come into force and truthfully, this is what I've been waiting for since spring. The bold lips, natural flush, topped with some extra highlights is my favourite look. I'm open to try out different shades and tones this year. I'm on the hunt for the ideal chief product, in particular a red lipstick, and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
8) Start reading a book that I can't put down. This was also a summer goal, I managed to find more than one book to fall in love with when the sun was shining but now I want to do it again, and again, and again. I'm such a book lover, once I read one and it captures my imagination, I end up spending the whole day completing every chapter. I'm planning on purchasing another couple of YA novels (my favourites) and I shall let you know how I get on.
9) Devour a hot chocolate topped with marshmallows and chocolate bits. I love hot chocolate no matter what the weather but autumn/winter is the perfect excuse for widening the horizons. A frothy hot chocolate with marshmallows, chocolate sprinkles and cream = mhmmm. That reminds me actually, I have an Options caramel treat hot chocolate in the cupboard. *off I go*
10) Base my A/W wardrobe on key staple pieces that I can mix and match. This is hard for me as A/W fashion is my favourite kind of fashion and browsing the shops at the moment tells me this task will be the most difficult. I'm so guilty of buying something I see, like and want without a second thought but this year I want to try (try being the key word here) to stick to the staple pieces that I can wear over and over again instead of wearing once and then shoving it back in my wardrobe ready for another year of no use.
Do you have any goals you want to reach this A/W?

In the heart of crazy Hollywood, while hundreds of people watched
B-list celebrities attend the premier to a complex love story opening
soon, a small but cute musical
opened at the Stella Adler Theater. Almost a perfect contrast to
the glitzy and complex drama of the movie, Kitty Claws and the Magic of Dreaming brought its audience a very simple but warming message of hope in the direst of situations.
The story follows five homeless cats, stuck in a pound during Christmas Eve. The catastrophe manifests itself in the owner of the pound, Mr. Meanguy, bent on eating the cats on Christmas Day, if they aren't adopted. Hopelessness seeps in, but is beaten back as the cats band together to recover their lost dreams.
So much talent was brought together for a simple musical, requiring
only a piano, guitar and the strength of the casts' voices. The
cats were portrayed by Allie Costa, Harley Jay, Darrin Revitz, Starr
Smitch, Megan Lynam, Jonathan Meza and Kaitlyn Searle. The
humans, as quirky as their 'pets' are performed by Peter Parasiliti,
Lauren Stone, Gerrod Zanger, Christy Conner, Sara Chalmers, Tommy
Germanovich and Alana Gospo. Jenna Mate played the narrator, as
Although geared more toward a younger audience at times, Kitty Claws and the Magic of Dreaming can be enjoyed by anyone of any age, if they open their heart and believe. This play is currently playing at the Stella Adler Theater at 6773 Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles until December 23rd.
