Figuring out how to format your work with just one author was hard enough. Now, you have a book that has three different authors and one with eleven different authors. You know all those names are just going to clutter up your APA 6 essay. Learn the right way to source multiple authors using APA citations.
Creating a Parenthetical Citation
Whether you have a book or magazine with multiple sources, the way that you cite them in your essay in an in-text or parenthetical citation is the same. The only thing you really need to know is how many authors there are. Examine how APA 6 breaks down multiple authors.
Two Authors
A source with only two authors will list both sources' last names in the text. You'll also list them every time you discuss the source. For example:
- Beetle & Bard (2010) stated…
Five or Fewer Authors
You have more than two but no more than five authors. This case follows a different format for the first time and every subsequent time it's discussed as the source. You'll list all the last names the first time, and the first author followed by et al. (which means "and others" in Latin) every time after that. The best way to understand is to see it.
- Beetle, Bard, Beatty, & Chen (2010) discussed…
- Again, it was found by Beetle et al. (2010) that…
Authors of Six or More
Now things are getting crazy. You've found yourself with a book that has 11 authors. Just because the book is getting complicated doesn't mean your citation needs to be. Use the first author's last name followed by et al. from the beginning to the end.
- Johnson et al. (2010) stated …
Two of the Same
In the instance that two different sources with more than six authors shorten to the same parenthetical citation, you'll need to differentiate. To do this, you can add a, b, c, etc.
- Johnson et al. (2010a) once described…
- Johnson et al. (2010b) showed…
APA Reference List Entries for Multiple Authors
Now comes the time for creating your References page. Reference citation a bit different than the parenthetical citations. You can list all the authors unless you have more than seven. In addition to the last name, you'll include the first and middle initial and separate the names by commas.
Fewer Than Seven Authors
If you have fewer than seven authors, add the names with a comma before the ampersand (&). This will look like:
Bard T. S., & Petty, R. S. (2010). Mood management. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 74, 1034-1048.
Bard T. S., Turner R. V., Kelly S. Q., & Petty, R. S. (2010). Mood management. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 74, 1034-1048.
More Than Seven Authors
It might not seem possible, but some large studies or scholarly books can have 15 different authors. Listing all of them would take up your entire reference page. Instead of spending 20 minutes typing out all those names, APA format has simplified it for you. You'll follow the same format as seven or less but after the sixth name you include ellipses and then list the last author's name, like so:
Beetle, F. H., Choi, M. J., Bard, L. L., Harland, A. A., Stanley, J. A., Tipman, S. T., . . . Rubin, L. H. (2017). Technical issues for MP software. Technical Communication, 51, 210-223.
A Multitude of Writers
Trying to remember all the rules for citing one author can make your eyes cross, but now there are two or six. Citing those authors doesn't need to induce panic. Just count them up and follow the rules. And if you have no author, you're covered there too.

Manchester United made it six games unbeaten with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Watford at Old Trafford on Sunday, as Bruno Fernandes scored his first goal for the club from the penalty spot.
The Premier League table is looking far more rosy for United after back-to-back league wins and clean sheets against London opposition - Chelsea, and now Watford.
Fernandes continued his impressive start to life at Old Trafford with the opening goal of the game from the penalty spot, slotting passed former Red Devils stopper Ben Foster moments before the interval.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men, nevertheless, had the Video Assistant Referee to thank for maintaining their lead - after a Troy Deeney goal was ruled out for handball in the build-up.
United, bouyed by the VAR decision, largely controlled proceedings and fine goals from Anthony Martial and youngster Mason Greenwood secured a largely emphatic win, to heap more misery on the relegation-threatened Hornets.
Victory lifts United to fifth in the table, which - if Manchester City's ban from Europe's elite is upheld - would be enough to sneak the Red Devils into the continent's premier cup competition. Following a solid and competitive score draw in Brugge, and with the FA Cup dream still alive, there is still plenty to play for this season for United.
Full Time - Manchester United 3-0 Watford
Attendance - 73,347

Tempura Vegetables
Published on 22nd April 2016
- Preheat a pan or wok with oil at least 4-5cm deep.
- Mix together the flours, salt, bicarbonate of soda and the soda water together in a bowl.
- Lumps of flour are fine – don't mix the batter too much, or it will become too thick and "doughy".
- Dip the prepared vegetables in the batter mix, and fry for up to a minute, until batter is cooked.
- The vegetables will be crunchy, so feel free to par-boil for 3-4 minutes in hot water before coating in the batter if you want less crunchy vegetables.
- Serve with some Soy dipping sauce!

Hotcakes, flapjacks, griddle cakes, crepes, latkes, short stacks, batter cakes, silver dollars, Dutch babies, blankets, cakes, johnnycakes. Whatever term you call them, pancakes are a staple across many cultures. And they are delightfully delicious. I love pancakes. I love them. You can keep your waffles, I'll take the pancakes please. I have made pancakes from scratch a dozen times. I use a recipe from my first cookbook and they come out good, but I do jazz them up a bit.
But, no matter how many times I make and remake and test other from scratch recipes, they just can't compare with Bisquik. The texture, the crustiness, the melt-in-your mouth flavor. They are perfect every time.
Random mid-post update– The new issue of Food Network Magazine was delivered as I was typing. Look what was on the cover! Freaky…
My love of pancakes stems from my Dad's love for them. Sometimes I think Sunday drives were an excuse for my Dad to find a new pancake place. I make them for breakfast, lunch, dinner. I eat them right out of the pan standing at the stove as I cook the rest of the batch. I top them with Mrs. Buttersworth. Sometimes I add a side a bacon so they don't get lonely on the plate. But, as accessible as pancakes are, it is hard to find a good one. But, fear not my fellow flapjack lovers! I went on a multi-state quest to seek out the best I could find.
Let's start the tour by crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. A few months back I wrote about Bubby's and their delicious banana walnut pancakes. They were so good, it was necessary for them to show up again.
Next stop is for my dear friend Toni. She loves Lemon Ricotta pancakes and found great ones at Sarabeth's.
Moving out of New York, let's head to New Jersey. There are two places, at opposite ends of the state that make the best pancakes. The first, a Jersey City favorite, is the Brownstone Diner & Pancake Factory.
One Saturday morning, my sister Katina and I trekked across the Hudson, walked a few blocks from the Path station and were met with the warmest greeting and nicest people you could ever meet. And then, we tasted the house specialty. There is a reason Guy Fieri visited here on Triple D. I ordered the Old Fashion Buttermilk Pancakes with bacon, Katina got them with sausage and we did a meat split and switch. Not realizing how massive the pancakes would be (we could barely make it through two!) we ordered grits to split. They were perfectly fine, but nowhere near the level of the superior pancakes.
Down the coast a few hours are the South Jersey Shore towns of Cape May, Ocean City and Avalon just to name a few. Not the towns you see portrayed on a show of the same name. These are quaint, family towns. The places where I vacationed every Summer as a kid. The best pancakes in this region? Uncle Bill's Pancake House. I remember the first time I had them. I ordered Chocolate Peanut Butter pancakes. I can still taste the creamy peanut butter mixing with the melting chocolate. Mmm…delicious!
For my final pancake stop, we're headed to my home state, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is know for a lot of food items, the Philly cheesesteak, scrapple, pretzels, chocolate, Primanti's. But, nestled in Bellefonte, Centre County, is The Waffle Shop. I had to dig around a little for information about this one because when I was an undergrad at Penn State, The Waffle Shop in State College and Bellfonte were run by the same owners. That changed in 2004, but thank goodness the pancake recipe didn't seem to change. The yellow color is not a problem with your screen. The pancakes are eggy, fluffy, delicious even without a lick of syrup on them. And I indulged a lot and ordered them with pecans. The toasted, sweet Southern nuts were studded throughout the thick fluffy cakes turning them into breakfast bliss.
Now that we filled ourselves with pancakes, why don't you tell me what your favorite place to eat them are or what kind of topping you like. Leave a comment or email me at dishinwithdaisy at gmail dot com.

WATCH | SA Oprah graduate on black tax: 'I hope you love me without the house'
A video of Mpumi Nodiva speaking about the pressures of black tax has gone viral, with the business owner opening up about how she had to tell her family to hold back while she chased her dreams.
Nodiva was part of the first class at Gauteng's Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls.
She went on to study in North Carolina and open her own business, which led her family to ask for help.
"I was heading three households and I had to sit with my family and was like, 'Yo, I love you guys, but right now the way I've set this up is killing me. And I'm sorry. I hope you're going to love me without the house. I don't know when I'm going to buy you a house.'"
The video has been widely shared and, at the time of publishing, had received more than 14,000 views.

What Products Are Essential for Growing a Beard?
There's one foolproof thing that grows beards, but you can't buy it in a store. It's your genetics.
If you come from a family where the men (and maybe the women) look like ZZ Top and Dumbledore, you're probably not going to have any problem at all.
That's when you can skip supplements and go straight to beard washes, conditioners, and oils. Your goal is just to manage your facial hair.
But if the best you can produce is a soul patch and some sideburns, it's time to go full bore.
Improve your eating habits, do more exercise, and get better sleep.
Try taking supplements with plenty of vitamins like biotin for a couple of months.
If you have pattern baldness that's affecting your beard, apply a topical treatment with minoxidil.
Use a shampoo and conditioner that takes good care of your skin, too.
Invest in a beard growth serum or oil that stimulates hair follicles to produce healthy, dense hair.
And stay the course – groom your beard and be patient.
What Makes Beards Grow Faster?
The number one thing that makes hair grow faster on your face is testosterone (1).
When your testosterone is at its peak, your beard can grow about half an inch each month.
Taking multivitamins with zinc, eating more fat, adapting your workouts to have shorter rest periods, and sleeping more can all help boost testosterone (2).
How to Start Growing a Beard
In the beginning, cleanse and exfoliate your face twice a day to clear up the pores and open up the follicles.
You don't need to scrub hard. Use a Konjac sponge or a face wash with salicylic acid. Be gentle to avoid irritating the skin.
Then let your facial hair grow.
Take supplements, use beard wash, tame the scruff with serum, but don't cut it.
Don't trim or shave your beard for the first three months. Don't cut your mustache either (3).
By not cutting it, you'll see the natural color and shape of your beard.
It may look unkempt or patchy, but that's okay. It'll fill in over the next few months.
What to Do about Sparse Beard Growth
You can blame it on your genes if you have trouble growing a beard or mustache.
But spotty beard growth may be a sign of alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune disease that doctors can treat (4).
Check with a dermatologist to see if treatments like Xeljanz, Minoxidil, or hair transplants can help you have a fuller beard.
Topical Treatments for Beard Growth
The same things that cause hair loss on your head can cause patchy beard growth. Stop the problem at the source with these topical treatments.
Men's Rogaine 5% Minoxidil Foam for Hair Loss and Hair Regrowth
Rogaine doesn't just stop hair loss on your head; it can help you grow a beard, too.
But please talk to your doctor before using Rogaine on your face.
It's designed to treat male pattern baldness, and it's proven to work. After 120 days of use, participants in a clinical trial had up to 25% more hair. Moreover, the hair was thicker and healthier.
Therefore, Rogaine may help you reverse the alopecia areata that causes bald patches in your beard.
Kirkland Signature Minoxidil 5 Percent Extra Strength Hair Regrowth for Men
Save yourself some money by going with this store-brand product that has the same active ingredient as Rogaine. Instead of foam, it's a liquid that comes with a dropper applicator.
Beard Growth Shampoos
Washing your face and hair with bar soap is destined to dehydrate it. Instead, switch to a sulfate-free shampoo or a beard soap that is gentle for your beard.
The best beard grow shampoos will help you keep acne under control and get rid of beardruff or beard dandruff.
Ultra Grooming Beard Shampoo & Wash for Beards by Beardsley and Company
Shampoo tends to taste nasty. But not this beard wash. It tastes like allspice. (But you can also purchase other flavors like wild berry.)
Beardsley and Company developed the world's first beard shampoo in the USA in the 1990s. It's excellent for cleaning all the hair on your body. It leaves your facial hair soft and lightly scented.
Viking Revolution Beard Wash & Beard Conditioner Set w/Argan & Jojoba Oils
Viking Revolution wants you to stop scratching your chin. Both their shampoo and conditioner have beard oil with peppermint and eucalyptus to clear up itchy, dry skin. They get rid of beard dandruff and leave your hair shiny and soft.
Give it a try knowing you can get a full refund if you're not satisfied.
Professor Fuzzworthy's Beard Shampoo
We know we just barely mentioned that washing with bar soap is going to dry out your facial hair. But here's the exception.
Professor Fuzzworthy's shampoo comes in a bar. It features antiseptic lavender and Kunzea seaweed from Tasmania to deep-cleanse your skin and hair.
Next, it has honey, castor oil, and beeswax for natural conditioning. To lock in moisture, follow up with the Gloss Balm from the same company.
If you travel, it's convenient to have a bar of shampoo that will outlast any tiny bottles you might pack in your carry-on.
JACK BLACK – Beard Wash
Jack Black's Beard Wash skips artificial fragrances, dyes, and parabens in favor of certified organic ingredients. It lathers nicely while it cleans and conditions.
Some of the key ingredients include panthenol to strengthen hair and shea butter and sea kelp to moisturize it. There's also aloe to soothe the skin without clogging pores.
Beard Roar XL | Caffeine Shampoo for Stimulating Facial Hair Growth
Beard Roar XL jump-starts hair growth because it's caffeinated. Caffeine stimulates the hair follicles and protects them against male pattern baldness (5).
Although the Caffeine Shampoo may not help you feel more energetic, it will leave your beard soft and manageable.
Cremo Beard and Face Wash, Mint Blend
Cremo's Beard and Face Wash features tea tree oil and mint to refresh your skin and hair. Meanwhile, sweet almond oil keeps you kissably soft.
One of the benefits of tea tree oil is that it fights dandruff and acne. Try this product if you are tired of ingrown hairs and itchy skin.
Beard Growth Shampoo and Conditioner Set by Polished Gentleman
Polished Gentleman enriches their shampoo and conditioner with nutrients that prevent hair loss.
Both products have argan oil that's packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids. Argan oil regenerates the hair and skin.
Next, there's biotin, the number one vitamin for hair growth.
Finally, eucalyptus and rosemary stimulate follicles and improve circulation to deliver nutrients where they are needed. Rosemary wipes out dandruff and dry skin, too.
Bulldog Skincare and Grooming For Men Original Beard Shampoo and Conditioner
Bulldog doesn't put artificial dyes or fragrances in their shampoo and conditioner. Both are vegan and certified cruelty-free.
Instead, they contain green tea and panthenol to stimulate hair growth. They also have moisturizers and conditioners like shea butter and sweet almond oil.
GRAVE BEFORE SHAVE™ Beard WASH Shampoo
To get the most from the Grave Before Shave beard wash, use a conditioner or beard oil. Although it contains argan oil, some users have said that it's not as hydrating as they hoped.
On the bright side, you can enjoy this on your hair, not just your face.
On the downside, the shampoo has both artificial dye and a synthetic fragrance.
Billy Jealousy Beard Envy Kit
Billy Jealousy's Beard Envy set is one of the best beard growth kits we found. It's straightforward to use and delivers delightful results.
The kit contains a beard wash, a boar bristle brush for grooming, and a styling product with jojoba oil.
The shampoo is sulfate-free to leave your beard smooth and manageable. But the Beard Control oil takes care of any residual frizz without making the hair oily or heavy.
Rapid Beard Beard Grooming kit for Men Care
Rapid Beard's kit comes with beard wash and conditioner, serum, and balm. None of the products have parabens, dyes, petroleum byproducts, mineral oil, or silicone. They are safe for color-treated beards.
Beard Growth Serums, Leave-in Conditioners, and Oils
The conditioner that you use for hair on your head may not be powerful enough for your beard. After all, beards tend to be wiry and coarse.
That's where serums, conditioners, and oils come in handy. They prevent chin itch and beardruff and help you style facial hair.
Some serums and oils are specifically designed to encourage beard growth.
Fortivo Beard Growth Serum with Dermaroller
Fortivo's serum makes coarse whiskers shiny and soft. It keeps follicles from clogging, so you don't get ingrown hairs. And, perhaps most importantly, it promises to thicken your beard in two weeks or less if you use it each evening before bed.
The secret to its success is Jamaican castor oil. This single component is proven to stimulate hair growth. And although it's an oil, it won't clog your pores or cause acne. It has plenty of omega-six fatty acids that keep your skin and hair healthy.
Beard Guyz Beard Serum with Grotein 20
The Beard Guyz Serum lists a proprietary element called Grotein 20. It's made up of quinoa, mulberry, sage, and ginger.
These natural ingredients wake up hair follicles and aid them in doing their job more efficiently.
Use the serum twice a day for best results.
Ranger Grooming Co. Fragrance-Free Beard Oil & Leave-In Conditioner
Ranger Grooming Beard Oil was featured in GQ magazine. Some say it's the number one leave-in conditioner for facial hair.
The secret to its success lies in only two ingredients: argan and jojoba oils. Both are excellent for skin and hair.
Massage the oil into a slightly damp beard and watch as it tames unruly, coarse hair.
Give it a try, and if you don't love it, the company offers a 100% money-back guarantee.
Honest Amish Beard Balm Leave-in Conditioner
You've seen the beards that Amish men wear. So how could you not feel hopeful about this conditioner?
It's hand-crafted in the USA from botanical ingredients infused in natural oils and nut butter. The ingredients include argan, avocado, and almond oils along with aloe, cocoa butter, and more.
The blend strengthens existing hair, and repairs split ends.
It comes packaged in an recyclable tin and includes a satisfaction guarantee.
Bossman Fortify Intense Beard Conditioner
Bossman's conditioner opens up hair follicles and pores to speed up beard growth. The creamy texture has mango butter, avocado oil, aloe, and other nourishing ingredients. Choose from four different fragrances or the unscented version.
ArtNaturals Beard Oil and Conditioner
This fragrance-free leave-in conditioner combines the power of Vitamin E, argan oil, and organic jojoba oil to stop beard itch and acne. It repairs split ends and purifies pores. And since it has no fragrance of its own, it won't compete with your cologne.
Beard Oil Conditioner by Viking Revolution
Viking Revolution's Beard conditioner is also fragrance-free. It's based on organic, natural ingredients like jojoba and argan oils. In that respect, it's similar to the Ranger Grooming Co. oil.
After you apply it, the smooth texture and shine last all day long.
Mens Natural Beard Growth Oil: The 2 Bits Man "The Woods"
If you have nut allergies, try this beard growth oil. It's based on grape seed oil and vitamin E.
The natural fragrance comes from cedarwood and pine essential oils.
Together, the ingredients stimulate hair growth and reduce inflammation caused by acne or ingrown hairs.
Beard Flux XL | Caffeine Beard Growth Stimulating Oil for Facial Hair Grow
Beard Flux XL is beard oil with caffeine to speed up hair growth.
It contains 100% organic ingredients with no artificial fragrance, parabens, or GMOs. Some of the highlights include jojoba, argan, and Amla oils.
Cremo Beard Oil, Forest Blend
Cremo's beard oil comes in three versions: unscented, mint, and Forest Blend. All of them are based on plant oils, rosemary extract, eucalyptus, and Vitamin E.
Not only will it resolve flaky, irritated skin, but it also boosts hair production. Be sure to massage it into the skin at the base of your beard and work your way out to the tips.
Cremo Beard & Scruff Cream, Improved Forest Blend Fragrance
If you're concerned about treating your face with an oil, try this cream instead. It's perfect for stubble and scruff as well as long beards.
The water-based formula stops the skin from being itchy and irritated. It also softens whiskers without feeling greasy.
Prophet and Tools Beard Oil and Comb Kit
Prophet and Tools developed this kit for men who want epic beards. They guarantee your success, or they'll give your money back.
Even after the first application, your beard should look shiny and revived. Over time, it helps additional hair grow in to fill bare patches.
Beard Grooming & Trimming Kit for Men Care by Rapid Beard
Rapid Beard's kit includes everything you need to groom your beard. It contains stainless steel barber scissors, a boar bristle brush, and a heavy-duty beard balm.
The beard balm is a wax made with argan and jojoba oils plus vitamin E. It's fragrance-free and ideal for taming mustaches, too.
Jack Black – Beard Oil
Jack Black's oil combats the twin problems of brittle, dry hair and itchy skin. Apply it after you use their beard wash for maximum effect.
The formula is rich in certified organic plant oils, antioxidants, and vitamins. They keep your beard and skin in top condition by preventing premature aging.
JACK BLACK – MP 10 Nourishing Oil
What's the difference between the MP 10 Nourishing oil and the regular beard oil?
For one, MP 10 doesn't just take care of your beard. It's an anti-aging treatment for your skin and facial hair.
The combination of ten natural oils rejuvenates and firms your face. It soothes redness and irritation and relieves dryness.
At the same time, it hydrates the hair to leave it shiny and frizz-free.
You can use it as a pretreatment for shaving and as shave oil, too.
It's vegan, gentle enough for sensitive skin, and made in the USA.
Beard Bolt XL | Caffeine Stimulating Beard Balm
The Beard Bolt Balm simplifies styling your 'stache and beard. When used in conjunction with the caffeinated shampoo and beard conditioner, it maximizes your chances of success.
The balm is also caffeinated to stimulate hair follicles. But it also contains jojoba and hemp oils to make your whiskers manageable.
Shea Moisture Beard Conditioning Oil
Shea Moisture offers a nourishing conditioner made with shea butter and maracuja oil. It's replete with vitamins that strengthen the hair from the roots to the tips.
But even though it's an oil, it's not greasy or sticky. It leaves behind a light fruity fragrance.
Wild Willies Beard Oil for Men
Wild Willies is proud of the fact that their Beard Oil was voted number one in a consumer test in 2017. It's packaged in a pump top bottle that doesn't waste a drop.
Use the oil daily to encourage beard growth with essential vitamins and natural oils.
This handcrafted product is free of preservatives and dyes. It comes with a satisfaction guarantee.
Billy Jealousy Beard Oil (Devil's Delight)
Each version of Billy Jealousy's conditioner relies on jojoba, sunflower, soybean, and avocado oils. The oils are packed with Omega fatty acids that deep-condition hair and prevent it from breaking. They add volume and shine.
At the same time, the conditioner stops flaking and itching.
The difference between different versions lies in their unique fragrances. One features jasmine and musk, another tangerine and lime, and a third is woodsy fresh.
The one we've listed here is spicy and warm with notes of black pepper, lavender, orange, sandalwood, vanilla, and coffee.
Castor Oil USDA-Certified Organic
Do beard growth oils really work? What about just using plain castor oil?
After all, women use castor oil to grow out their eyelashes and eyebrows.
If you want to experiment with pure castor oil, this one comes with a 100% guarantee.
Beard Growth Supplements
So far, we've talked a lot about external treatments for beard growth. We've covered shampoos, conditioners, oils, and balms that stimulate follicles and strengthen existing hair.
But these products can only penetrate so deep.
Try working from the inside out by taking one of the best beard growth supplements.
Now Foods Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000mg Soft-gels
Did you know that pumpkin seed oil speeds up hair growth?
A clinical trial published in 2014 included 76 men in a randomized, double-blind study. Those that took pumpkin seed oil for 24 weeks had more hair than those that took a placebo (6).
Pumpkin seed oil also supports healthy prostate function.
Beard Growth Support Supplement by ProCrush Formulas
ProCrush Formulas manufactures their beard growth supplement with natural and organic ingredients in the USA at an FDA-registered lab. You only need to take it once a day to increase hair growth.
Some of the key nutrients include biotin and B vitamins.
The company offers a 90-day money-back guarantee. That's plenty of time to see how well the supplement works.
Live Bearded Beard Boost Growth Vitamins
Live Bearded packs 10000 µg of biotin into each dose. There's also ginkgo biloba, zinc, and other nutrients that block DHT from bonding with your hair follicles.
DHT is the culprit behind pattern baldness. It damages follicles so that they produce fewer and weaker hairs until they stop working altogether.
Beard Gains Growth Vitamin Pills by Beard Gains
Beard Gains makes this biotin supplement. They recommend taking two pills each day, then rub your beard oil and balm into your beard. You should see a difference within one to four months.
LumberMan Premier Beard & Hair Growth Vitamin Formula by Feelz Good
The name "LumberMan" invokes a vision of a burly guy with an impressive beard. So it's no surprise that this supplement promises to produce legendary hair growth on your head and face. It may also fix brittle nails.
It contains 21 essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and even medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). Most likely, you'll feel better than you have for a while.
Beard Grow XL | Facial Hair Supplement by Delta Genesis
Combine the Beard Grow XL supplement with all the other products by Delta Genesis to get the full benefits.

"Don't worry about tomorrow." Matthew 6:34 NLT
Yesterday and tomorrow both clamor for our attention. Yesterday wants us to second-guess our decisions and worry if we did the right thing. That's wasted energy. As President Harry Truman said, "If you've done the best you can – if you've done what you have to do – there's no use worrying about it because nothing can change it." And tomorrow can also cause you to miss opportunities. Let's face it, most people arrive at a different destination in life that what they expected – some better, some worse, but all different. So focusing on the destination isn't necessarily a good idea. Besides, tomorrow may come, or it may not. There are no guarantees. Jesus said, "Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." Jesus was talking to people who were worried about having the basic necessities in life, like food and clothes. And He said to them, "Don't worry about these things… your heavenly Father already knows all your needs" (v. 31-32 NKJV). The only place you really have any power – is in the present. Do what you can in the here and now despite your fear, and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you're doing everything within your power to reach your potential. If you project too far into the future, you'll suffer from the "what ifs?" and your fears will run wild. American author Mark Twain quipped, "I've been through some horrible things in my life – a few of which actually happened!" Give your past and your future to God and live your life one day at a time, trusting Him. That's how you overcome fear.

'It would be very bad news for traffic': Irish Rail needs extra €100 million a year to keep going
A LACK OF investment in Ireland's rail services has meant both a significant reduction in the quality of the service and decreased efficiency, an incoming executive has warned.
In his expected address to the Oireachtas Transport Committee, Frank Allen, chairman designate of Iarnród Éireann, will warn that more must be done to ensure our rail system remains functional in the immediate future.
Increasing passenger numbers have brought with them an increase in the demand for services. However, a lack of investment in infrastructure has meant that Irish Rail's chances of improving the system as a whole have been compromised.
In his prepared statement to the committee, Allen said: "While the increase in passenger numbers is very encouraging, we are concerned about the condition of the infrastructure. During the recession, investment in maintenance was deferred to an extent that now affects the quality of service.
This deferred maintenance has required management to impose temporary speed restrictions in certain sections of the network to ensure that there is no compromise to safety.
In many cases, according to Allen, Irish Rail is falling behind its European counterparts. Improvements in technology enjoyed by other national rail services are currently not being enjoyed by Iarnród Éireann. Allen cited that Irish Rail relies on "manual rather than on automated systems to a greater extent than is the case for many other railways".
The chairman designate also had a stark message to the Government which has sought to get more people out of cars and onto public transport. Allen noted that a continued lack of investment will cause more delays and will force commuters to leave for alternative transport methods.
His statement added: "Continued under-investment in infrastructure maintenance is that we will lose reliability and consistency of journey times, which in turn will make it difficult to keep people on public transport. This would be bad news for Iarnród Éireann but more importantly it would be very bad news for traffic congestion and for Ireland's ability to meet our sustainability obligations.
The scale of the infrastructure problem was outlined in a Rail Review published by the National Transport Authority last year, with input from Iarnród Éireann. That review concluded that Ireland's rail network needs an additional €103 million a year for the next five years to achieve a sustainable rail network, financial stability for the
company and to be prepared for future growth.
Allen also referred to the ongoing industrial action within Irish Rail which will see drivers strike on a number of significant dates in the coming month.
He said the company's management recognises employees' expectations for
salary increases and it put forward proposals at the Workplace Relations Commission on how salaries could be increased.
"I still hope that a solution can be found through further engagement with trade unions and with the support of the WRC and the Labour Court, so as to avoid unnecessary disruption to the travelling public."

This will lessen the chances of algae to grow continually in the pool area. It would be very impressive if the owner of the pool will be successful in the manner of maintaining the cleanliness of the pool and it will remain clear too. Some pool owners are not capable of cleaning their own pool because they do not know the steps or do not possess the proper equipment. There are no secrets for this. In this article, we are going to learn the steps on how to backwash a pool.

Great Ideas For Making Camping Your Ideal Getaway
Camping can be a great way for you to spend time with your family. However, there are a lot of things you need to keep in mind so that you not only are safe, but have fun as well. Here are some great ways for you to have a good time camping while remaining prepared for whatever comes your way.
When going camping, you must make sure that you keep a list of all of the supplies that you plan to bring. You have to make sure you include everything that you will need on your trip. This is the best way to make sure that you don't forget something for your trip.
When you are planning a camping adventure, make sure you pack the appropriate clothing for your trip. Check the weather forecast and bring the clothing that will be needed on your trip. If it is going to be cold, make sure you have the appropriate coats, gloves, and shoes. Remember to also pack a rain poncho no matter what the weather forecast predicts.
If you are traveling with children, consider staying at a campground that is specifically designated for families. Campers in these areas know what to expect and will not have an issue if you have a cranky toddler or your children want to run around, scream and play. You will probably be more relaxed as a result and have a better time.
If you'd like to prevent mosquito bites, but want to avoid using harsh chemicals, use an orange peel instead. Rub the orange peel over exposed areas of the skin, such as the neck, arms, face and legs to naturally repel mosquitoes. Not only will the orange peels feel better on your skin than traditional repelling chemicals, but they will smell better, too!
Ask a park ranger or a tour guide to let you know about all the places to check out while you are camping. This is a good idea so that you know you are getting the most out of your camping experience, you don't want to take a camping trip and miss out on a fun experience.
While camping, cook easy dinners like "hobo stew". Simply bring potatoes, ground meat, and veggies. Cut the veggies and potatoes at your campsite. Using tinfoil like a bowl, put the ingredients inside and fold the foil over until the food is covered. Place foil on hot rocks or the coals of the campfire, and eventually you will have a tasty "stew".
Your camp should always be set up before the sun sets. When adventuring in an RV, be safely parked before dark. When pitching a tent, locate dry and flat ground. If you do this before dark, you can become accustomed to the area around you. You will have an easier time seeing the task a hand, preventing frustration from setting in.
Clean up thoroughly when leaving a campsite. Try your best not to leave any trace of you at the campsite you stayed in. This is important, not just in terms of being considerate of other people. There are animals and insects that continue to live in the woods after you have left, so think of them as well.
Be sure to choose the right site for your camping experience. The camping site can make or break your trip. Try to choose a site that is not too far away from help should you need it. Choose a site that is flat and somewhat apart from trees. You want a location that is far from critters and close to aid.
Camping can be a magical experience for both you and your entire family. Use the tips in this article to make sure you do a good job of staying safe and having a great time camping at the same time. Go on your next camping trip better prepared and even more ready for fun.

Advice on salt intake, treatment adherence could help diabetics reach goal BP
MedWire News: Primary care clinicians should emphasize the importance of dietary salt restriction and adherence to medication regimens to help patients with Type 2 diabetes achieve target blood pressure (BP) levels, research suggests.
Led by Wayne Putnam (Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada), the study showed that a number of factors are associated with achieving target BP, with salt intake and medication adherence the most likely to be easily modified.
As reported in the journal BMC Family Practice, the team conducted a cross-sectional observational survey in practices of 27 family physicians and nurse practitioners in the Maritime provinces in Canada.
They collected data for 570 patients with Type 2 diabetes and examined characteristics associated with achieving target BP levels.
The main outcome measures were overall blood pressure (both SBP and DBP) at target (<130/<80 mmHg), systolic blood pressure (SBP) at target, and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at target.
Multivariate analysis revealed that no predisposing or personal/family patient characteristics were significantly associated with attaining overall target BP.
Duration of hypertension and renal status were significantly associated with achieving this target, however.
The researchers also found that salt intake, a factor that can potentially be modified by healthcare interventions, was also significantly associated with meeting the target.
Indeed, patients who reported eating food low in salt were more likely to have reached the overall goal than those who did not eat low-salt foods, at an adjusted odds ratio AOR of 1.74.
The authors suggest: "A verbal 'prescription' to specifically decrease salt can accompany written prescriptions for medications. A referral to, and conversation with, a nutritionist could ensure that this is treated as a high priority by the patient."
In addition, patients who reported low (versus high) medication adherence on the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale were less likely to have achieved overall BP target, at an AOR of 0.29.
"A variety of steps can be taken in primary care that have been shown to be effective in improving adherence such as decreasing the number of daily doses, giving written directions, home or self-monitoring, and using medications with fewer side effects," Putnam and team write.

Master Caste - Sagittarius: Master scouts and infiltrators who land first on any planet and prepare the invasion.
The only Pulp City mini I painted in February, Xyllian, Master Sagittarius (by Israel Gonzalez Mojarro) is the last of the first wave of Ulthar that I had to paint. I started out with a clear mind of what I wanted to try to do, alas in execution my skills were not on par with my goals.
While I am reasonably satisfied with the outcome, it isn't how I envisaged the model looking. My original plan had been to to a near-black armour effect with green highlighting on the sharp armour edges, after seeing a similar approach on some of the recent GW Dark Eldar. As I was painting it though, I couldn't achieve an effect that looked consistent across the armour areas as well as being sufficiently satisfying to look at. Therefore I just went for the mid to dark green armour. The purple cape is intended to help tie the mini in to the rest of the Ulthar, and that actually came out as the most satisfactory part of the paint job. There will be a group Ulthar shot soon.
Xyllian, Master Sagittarius brings some decent ranged Actions, and his Exclusive Resource (shared with Virgo) boosts these further. Basically he is part sniper/fire base model, and part Team support through his Gate skill Analyze Action (which does benefit from the Sagittarius Crossbow - meaning multiple targets could be affected, or a model slowed down while using Analyze). Add in decent defensive Traits (although lacking any defensive Trumps), and Xyllian is a decent proposition who can even hold up in close combat to a limited extent.

We held our hands
just you and me.
And gave our vows.
No kidding.
We do our dance,
just you and me.
Not East, nor West,
nor North or South -
we welcome no new bidding.
So, if the whole world cannot see,
that ancient values count,
and that we choose not to be free,
we'd rather just be bound.
Temptation does not have strong wings,
it's mostly dye and make-up,
yet it attempts to boycott things,
wreaks havoc, sin and shake-up.
And when temptation comes a-flutter,
so many see the glitter,
they turn their lives then into clutter,
the end will then be bitter.
So, have a look at who you are,
and, more importantly:
See who you're with, close by, not far
and use your eyes to see.
And if you lead your eyes astray,
'twill make your vision evil.
If that is you, then let me say:
You're nothing but a weevil.

The Trump White House is using meaningless statistics to falsely claim that its big corporate tax cut is working even better than hoped. Donald Trump's economic adviser says the tax cut has fundamentally transformed the economy after just six months, deceptively claiming that U.S. corporations are no longer investing in their foreign operations.
Kevin Hassett, the chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, was on TV recently to expand on the administration's big lie that cutting taxes for corporations has already pushed the economy onto a permanently faster growth path.
Hassett told Maria Bartiromo that U.S. multinationals have brought back more than $300 billion in overseas profits and have reduced their direct investment overseas by $400 billion. The first fact is trivially true, while the second is misleading — it's a one-time drop that's due to the accounting change.
" The administration wants to plant a seed one day and harvest the crop the next. "
The reality is that it is much too soon to tell whether lower tax rates have worked, as promised, to increase corporations' productive domestic investments in a way that would create a new Golden Age of American Prosperity. Even if temporary stimulus does cause the economy to grow at a 4%-plus rate in the current quarter as economists now expect, there is no support for the idea that the economy has been permanently upgraded already.
The administration wants to plant a seed one day and harvest the crop the next.
But it doesn't work like that. Corporations don't change their minds suddenly and decide to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in capital equipment, facilities and technology. Any change in corporate investment behavior would take many months or many years to unfold. If you want to fundamentally change the structure of the economy, you need patience.
But the White House cannot be patient, because polls show the tax cut isn't all that popular with voters and the November midterm elections are rushing toward us. So the thoroughly politicized White House must persuade voters that the trickle-down tax cut has already succeeded, and they must show that the economy is doing fine despite the disruption from President Donald Trump and his threats to ignite a large-scale trade war.
The structural economic problem is serious. U.S. growth is stuck around 2% for two fundamental reasons: Slow population growth is holding back the number of hours worked, and slow productivity growth is restraining the output per hour worked. We could fix the population problem by allowing in more immigrants. But no one knows exactly how to increase productivity, other than to invest like crazy in new technologies, more and better equipment, newer factories, better training — and hope for the best.
It's certain that companies aren't investing enough. Net investment by businesses is only 2.8% of GDP, about half what it was during the best times for U.S. productivity. Business investment perked up in the first quarter, but preliminary reports on capital spending have been weakening in recent months.
Hassett says the investment problem has been solved. "We've got a capital spending boom going on right now," he said.
Why? Because, he says, of the tax cuts, particularly the change in the way the U.S. taxes multinational corporations.
"U.S. firms that used to build their factories overseas in order to avoid U.S. taxes, they stopped in their tracks because of the tax bill, they are bringing all the money home," Hassett told Fox Business recently. Hassett cited Commerce Department data that showed U.S. corporations' overseas operations returned more than $300 billion in retained profits to their U.S. parents in the first quarter alone.
And he said that U.S. multinational companies had reduced their overseas investments by more than $400 billion in those three months.
"This is a fundamental game changer," Hassett crowed.
Unfortunately for Hassett, the Commerce Department figures reflect a legal change in accounting methods, not a real change in corporate behavior. Yes, the corporations did change the entries on their books, because the tax law meant they no longer had to maintain the fiction that these profits were earned overseas. But bringing back that cash doesn't mean the corporations are suddenly free to invest in U.S. operations, and it certainly doesn't mean that American companies will no longer invest in foreign operations.
Just ask Harley Davidson
The whole idea that the American economy was constrained because corporations couldn't touch their overseas cash was always laughable.
The corporations that had all that cash on their overseas books have been able to do anything they wanted, whether it's buying back billions of dollars of shares, paying large dividends, making huge merger-and-acquisition deals, or even investing back into their own company's operations. They could (and did) fund those activities with their internal U.S. cash flow, or with funds easily borrowed.

Those nine companies combined had an estimated $682 billion in overseas liquid assets at the end of the year, but they also had $141 billion on their U.S. books, according to a recent report by Andrew Chang, a primary credit analyst for S&P Global Ratings.
Of the $2.1 trillion in liquid assets that companies in the S&P 500
Now that these corporations have been forced by the tax law to pay the tax on their retained profits, they are free to do anything they'd like with them. And in a blow to the Trump camp, they are not increasing their capital investments in their U.S. operations very much.
Mostly they are going to continue to buy back shares or buy up other companies. A few companies have announced some minor increases in U.S.-based investments. Corporations may have brought back $351 billion in cash, but they've announced $503 billion in share buybacks since the tax law was passed.
A decision about "investment isn't a matter of where the cash is domiciled," S&P's Chang said in an interview. "It's a question of consumer demand. Companies will find a way to finance it."
In other words, corporations first recognize the need to expand because the demand is there, and then find the money to finance those plans. They don't look at their pile of cash and say, "Let's build a factory!"
They certainly don't say: "We have $100 billion in cash overseas, but our hands are tied. Boo hoo!"
If we are going to grow at 3% year-after-year, businesses are going to have to invest more capital into the United States. There are signs that this beginning to happen, in response to strong demand that's straining the current capacity, in response to lower taxes, and even in response to possible high tariffs.
If businesses continue to increase their capital spending and R&D, that would be wonderful for the economy, but most analysts are skeptical. The Congressional Budget Office, for instance, predicts only a slight uptick in productivity over the next decade, even with the tax cuts. But let's not let our political desires cloud our judgment about how far we've come and how much further we need to go. The seeds were only planted yesterday.

Happy New Year! We begin 2017 with a look at the fake news phenomenon. In this week's boralogue, John points out the hypocrisy of those who believe in relative truth but are outraged by fake news and shows how Martin Luther, the Renaissance, and the last 500 years have led to better access and control of information.
Dutch politician Geert Wilders was recently found guilty of violating his country's hate speech laws. William Watkins (www.independent.org), Research Fellow at the Independence Institute, shows that hate speech laws are purposefully vague and references the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 to show that it has happened in the U.S. before.
Will the Trump administration stick to its campaign promises in regards to education? Alex Newman (www.thenewamerican.com), Correspondent for The New American, looks at the need for education reform, including an overhaul of Common Core, and how Trump's pick of Becky Devos for Education Secretary most likely means reform is out for now.
Will the United States be ready should an EMP destroy our electric grid. Bill Forstchen (www.onesecondafter.com), History Professor at Montreat College, discusses the threat of EMP, preparedness by not only individuals but also government, and his belief that the Trump administration will take the threat seriously.
Finally, is it worth trying to evangelize to people who are militantly atheist, especially on the internet? London-based Baptist Minister Mark Woods (www.christiantoday.com), advises that while trolls can discourage, there is always someone out there who gets the message. Time management and self-discipline are key elements when engaging others.
John's quote of the week:
"The idea of the Christian humanists was that every human being has inherent dignity before God and being personally responsible before God for his or her conduct. That caused radical changes in western civilization; the idea of individual ability and individual responsibility."

Pitching Deck
Member Login to Listen/Download MP3 of Entire Broadcast
In the land of political correctness, up is down, down is up, and we're all stumbling around on a pitching deck of moral non-absolutes, unsure of what to say or do. In this week's boralogue, John explores this constantly shifting land where multiculturalism is king, collective rights trump those of the individual, and the one unpardonable sin is to reject the failed scheme of the progressive clergy. In order to get our footing, we need to ridicule this self-contradictory and bankrupt system.
With Europe hovering at the edge of this pitching deck, will the United States have the courage to honestly debate issues that are threatening us? Pete Hoekstra (www.investigativeproject.org), former Republican U.S. Congressman from Michigan, examines the need for honest discussion regardless of cries from the politically correct, and gives an overview of the nuclear relationships between North Korea, Iran, and Syria.
Throughout the Muslim world, the idea that Israel shouldn't have the right to exist is common. But are evangelical Christians beginning to feel the same way? Tricia Miller (www.camera.org), Senior Research Analyst with CAMERA, explains that theological views and political narratives can mix, leaving evangelicals with a pro-Palestinian mindset when it comes to the state of Israel.
Plummeting oil prices dominated headlines this week. John takes a moment to examine the onset of fracking as an economic phenomenon, and how Saudi Arabia is purposefully bucking market trends. Energy, ideology, and currency all converge geopolitically to explain what's going on.
Finally, we welcome Sue Ellen Browder, a freelance writer and author of the new book "Subverted," who recounts her time with Cosmopolitan Magazine in the 1970s and how the sexual revolution, through abortion and the question of choice, hijacked the women's movement.
John's quote of the week:
"Multiculturalism must triumph and the constantly changing list of dos and don'ts must trump everything else. Indeed, key civil rights are being slaughtered in this onslaught of death by a thousand qualifications, which always require some elitist hierarchy to tell us what applies at any given moment."
As always, join us online for our Section 6 intelligence briefing featuring analysis by John on important stories highlighting emerging geopolitical trends around the world. This week, John takes a unique look at the power groupings in the Middle East and how they are interacting with each other.

Our SMA mission in Egypt now has a new mission land, Upper Egypt. Indeed, on January 31, 2018, we celebrated the reception mass of the new mission in the Diocese of Sohag in Upper Egypt. Mass was held at Christ the King Cathedral in Tahta. This mass was celebrated by His Excellency Monsignor Yossef Abu El-Kheir, the Bishop of the Diocese of Sohag. The Mass saw the participation of the Apostolic Nuncio, His Excellency Monsignor Bruno Musaro and his Secretary, and the Bishop of Assyut, His Excellency Monsignor Kyrilos William. In addition to the SMA Fathers from Cairo, Fathers Robbin and Amal, we had the honour of having with us Father Joy Andrews, the Superior of Indian District-in-Formation. It was a beautiful celebration with the participation of the priests of the Diocese, the Christians and the communities of the religious sisters of our respective parishes. We had the support of our OLA Sisters of Cairo, Assyut and Guirga. And also we had the Indian Sisters community of Maria Bambina who came from Cairo and Aswan.
It should be noted that the SMA mission arrived in the diocese of Sohag, precisely in Tahta, in the month of September. When we arrived, we were stayed in the old seminary of the diocese at Batrakhana in Tahta. We, Father Wilson and I, have spent almost four months before joining our mission home. This house is located at Christ the King Cathedral in Tahta. It is a two floors building, which has been renovated and made available to the SMA mission. We live there now, but we are still getting installed as it's a new house.
With regard to pastoral care, we are fully involved. We collaborate and participate in the daily pastoral of the parish with our various priests. We also have specific responsibilities. Fr. Wilson, is in charge of the youth and the choir of the diocese in Christ the King Cathedral in Tahta. As for me, I am working in the parish of Our Lady of the Virgin in Khazendaria. There, the priest asked me to visit the families. In addition to that, I go to another small village, Aarab, on Friday afternoons for pastoral care with the children and I also go there on Sunday mornings for Mass with another priest.
With this mission in Upper Egypt, the SMA enters the family of the Catholic Coptic rite.
We thank you for all your prayerful support for the success of the SMA in this new mission.
Jean Paul Silué

Incredible Recipe from a Monastery: Powerful Natural Antibiotic that cure Infections and Fungi!
If you have a severe infection or illness, consume one tablespoon of this natural antibiotic five to six times a day. Here's the recipe!
This remedy is prepared from herbal and natural products and it was widely used in a monastery in medieval Europe. Then it became an integral part of traditional medicine as a natural antibiotic that kills bacteria.
This remedy has powerful antiviral and antifungal properties. Indeed, it improves blood circulation and lymphatic circulation in all parts of the body. According to the traditional medicine, this natural antibiotic can treat Candida and a variety of viral, parasitic, bacterial and fungal illnesses.
Here is the recipe of the best natural antibiotic:
- 700 ml cider vinegar
- ¼ cup chopped garlic
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 2 peppers
- ¼ cup grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons grated horseradish
- 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder
- 2 turmeric roots
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except apple cider vinegar and place the mixture in a jar (the mixture should fill 2/3 of the pot).
Add the cider vinegar to fill the jar and shake well.
Keep the medicine in a cool, dry place for two weeks during which you have to shake the jar several times a day.
After two weeks, filter this natural antibiotic with a thick gauze and keep the liquid at room temperature.
Consume one tablespoon a day to fight bacteria in the body and strengthen the immune system.
You can increase progressively the dose of this natural antibiotic in cases of acute infections or serious illnesses. But do not exceed 6 tablespoons per day and consume it no longer than a week or maximum 10 days.
This remedy can also be used in cooking as a condiment for your dishes.
Benefits of Ginger
Ginger is rich in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. It is effective in relieving vomiting and nausea and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Ginger helps to absorb nutrients and reduces gases and toxins in the body. Moreover, it strengthens the immune system and prevents colds and flu.
On the other hand, ginger consumption helps to regulate sugar levels in the blood and fight against bloating, stomach acid and to fight bad breath.
According to a study conducted by the University of Michigan, ginger can treat serious diseases and some types of cancer, such as ovarian cancer.
Warning: ginger is not recommended for pregnant women and people with diabetes, blood diseases and cardiovascular diseases.
Benefits of horseradish
This plant has a high content of vitamins, dietary fiber and antioxidants. Horseradish is also rich in certain minerals such as manganese, magnesium, sodium, potassium, zinc and copper. Note that it has soothing, diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Horseradish is rich in vitamin C, which helps strengthening of the immune system and fights against viral infections. It also contributes in fight against free radicals, inflammations and infections.
Horseradish fights against rheumatism and is very beneficial for the heart, bloodstream and liver. It is also effective in preventing respiratory disease, influenza, urinary tract infections and tonsillitis. This plant stimulates the metabolism, cleanses the body, promotes the production of good intestinal bacteria and fights fatigue.
Horseradish destroys bacteria that cause the development of many infectious diseases such as dysentery, salmonellosis and tuberculosis. In addition, this plant improves the digestive system because the horseradish stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and gastric and intestinal juice.
Warning: Horseradish has to be consumed with caution, especially by those patients with hypertension, in treatment against cancer, if taking thyroid hormone and in cases of taking anti-inflammatory drugs.
Pregnant or nursing women should not eat horseradish because it contains glucosinolates, substances that can be excreted in the placenta or breast milk, presenting a risk of toxicities.

As the year comes to an end, we like to look back at all the things that made this year memorable. The good, the bad, the ugly – all of it. This year, given everything terrible that has happened, we have decided to skip the bad and ugly parts, because some of the wounds are still fresh. Instead, we are going to take a look back at the best moments in fashion this year. Priyanka Chopra's Oscar gown, Deepika Padukone's ensemble at the European Music Awards, and Alia Bhatt's outfits from Kapoor and Sons and Dear Zindagi had us gossiping for days. Apart from these, take a look at the best fashion moments of 2016 here:
Alia Bhatt's Headband
The widely trending headband appeared in the song Kar Gayi Chull from Kapoor and Sons. A perfect summer accessory that can be paired with any outfit, the headband is also useful for keeping your tresses in place. No wonder people were gaga over this one.
Aishwarya Rai's Purple Lips
The ADHM actress stunned everyone at Cannes in a Rami Kadi dress that she wore with purple lipstick. The Internet had a field day with this one, and the memes that followed were out of control. It was certainly one bold move by Aishwarya, who is known to play it safe on the Red Carpet.
Baby on the Ramp
Pregnancy photo shoots were in last year but 2016 was all about flaunting that bump on the ramp. Carol Gracias did it, and even recently-turned mommy Kareena Kapoor looked ethereal in a Sabyasachi lehenga choli at the Lakme Fashion Week.
Deepika Padukone's Thigh-High Split
While Bella Hadid's thigh-high split dress was most talked about this year, it was Deepika Padukone who pulled it off in style at the Lux Golden Rose Awards. She paired the Ralph and Russo gown with simple makeup and minimal jewelry.
Deepika Padukone's Fancy Night Suit
Deepika stunned everyone when she decided to wear a night suit for a Red Carpet event. Only, the royal blue silk suit was designed by Chloé, and the actress looked radiant in the nude Louboutins and the subtle neck piece that she paired with the suit.
Priyanka Chopra's Swirling Gown
Priyanka Chopra's Oscar gown was one of her best Red Carpet looks till date, but her Emmy's gown stole all the attention. The Jason Wu chiffon dress made the actress look red hot, and she floated around as if there was no ground under her feet.
Ranveer Singh's Cutoffs
Ranveer Singh got the attention of the shutterbugs every time he as much as stepped out. But it was his outfit for Sohail Khan's son's birthday party that people could not stop talking about. Check out the quirky look here:
Sonam Kapoor's Cannes Gown
While Sonam Kapoor looked stunning in the Ralph & Russo custom-made gown, the Internet was a little harsh on her, some comparing the dress to rumali roti or dosa batter. The memes did not stop until Aishwarya herself gave people something new to talk about.
Which was your favorite fashion moment of 2016? Sound off in comments below.

Nationals 2015 was awesome for many reasons. Most importantly, I got to see many friends whom I had not seen in quite a while as well as meeting a few friends in person for the first time. Another thing that made it awesome was that Chris was an excellent host, and the only complaint I had about the facilities was that I kept losing my sense of direction in the hallways that all looked exactly the same—I think I finally figured them out, but then we left 15 minutes later…
I also had a great tournament from a results perspective. After battling through four tough rounds of Type 2 Multi on Thursday and coming out on top (barely), I managed to reclaim my Type 2 2-player title from my brother Jordan—despite losing to him in a timeout loss—on Friday.
After taking two titles in two days, I had thoughts of winning TEAMS on Saturday and becoming the first player since Ron Sias in 1998 to win 3 official categories in one Nationals (Gabe Isbell won two categories and the unofficial TEAMS event in 2009). I had been planning to team up with Martin Miller, a former National Champion in both Type 1 2P and in TEAMS, and I felt we had as good a shot as anybody to take the title. Prior to Nationals, the Elder team had discussed different scenarios for judging each day, and we decided to leave Day 3 open-ended and see how things went the first two days before deciding who would judge Day 3.
As it turned out, everyone on the Elder team hoped to play Day 3, and after having such great success on Day 1 and Day 2, it made sense for me to be the official judge for Day 3. (Props to John Earley and Dayne Maust for judging Day 1 and Day 2 respectively). Would I have rather played? Sure—I'm as competitive as they come and would have loved a shot at the TEAMS title. Was being the judge and giving others another chance to play the right thing to do? Absolutely, and I have no regrets. For the first time in 8 trips to Nationals, I found myself in an unfamiliar position…standing over the table instead of sitting down at it.
The day got off to a bit of a slow start as the late nights were catching up to everyone and people were either straggling in or frantically trying to make a few last second tweaks to their deck. To make matters more complicated, Day 3 consisted of Sealed, TEAMS and Type 1 MP—three completely different categories. I was surprised to see how many people decided to do Sealed over the other two categories as it was by far the largest category of the day. Finally everyone was settled and the events were underway…
Well that didn't take long. Not more than a few minutes into the events and questions were already popping up. Most were simple as people were pretty sure they knew the answer, but wanted confirmation in case something had changed. I jumped from one table to another trying to answer as clearly yet efficiently as possible. I tended to stay closer to the T1 MP and TEAMS tables as Sealed deck typically doesn't have as many complicated scenarios with the I/J decks being fairly straightforward. Even so, I was often jumping between events trying my best to handle questions in the order which they came up. Several times, I either wasn't sure or wasn't sure enough so I would consult with Dayne (playing Sealed) for TEAMS questions or consult Jordan, John and Gabe (playing TEAMS) for Sealed questions (I'm pretty sure I knew all the T1 MP questions on my own…woot).
I quickly realized that judging is just as stressful as playing, and in some ways more. If I make the wrong decision while playing, it only affects me in a negative way. However, if I'm judging and make the wrong decision, that could cost somebody a chance at winning. Now winning should not be the most important thing for people, but I knew that I absolutely did not want someone going home thinking "If only that judge had known the right answer, I might have had a shot at first." I've been on the bummer end of rulings before, and it's just not a good feeling to wonder what could have been if only the right answer had been given.
As the events went on, I felt pretty confident about my rulings, and the times I went to another Elder for confirmation I usually had the right answer in mind already. I remember at least one question from TEAMS however, that I had never seen come up before and that was completely up to interpretation. I made a ruling and went with it, and later when I asked the other Elders, I got answers from both sides.
On the one hand, it was a bit disconcerting to know that some disagreed with my ruling, but on the other hand I was glad it was not unanimous because it meant that it really was a matter of interpretation. Fortunately the team that got ruled against still ending up winning that game (as the ruling did directly result in them not getting a Lost Soul in an early rescue attempt) and in the end it did not affect the placings at all.
One of the most difficult parts I found was informing someone that they had a ruling wrong that they thought they knew. I don't consider myself a people-pleaser, but I also don't like disappointing someone. Furthermore, there are still a lot of little nuances with card abilities and how they are worded that make significant differences in how they get played so it can be easy for someone to misunderstand how a card gets played. Learning about a new ruling (or that a card is played differently than you thought) at Nationals is not the greatest feeling because all of a sudden you're trying to reorient your thought-process in what is already a very complex game at times.
At the end of the day, we finished the events with no major controversies and even finished ahead of schedule (well, ahead of schedule based on when we started anyway). Martin and my brother Jordan (who filled in for me in TEAMS) ending up winning the TEAMS event with decks that I designed so that felt pretty good. Congrats to them as well as Dayne for winning Sealed (read his report here) and Charles Johnson for winning T1 MP (despite facing some nasty adversity in the form of The Serpent during one of the rounds). It was a great day and a great tournament, and I literally cannot wait for next year!

Yoga Teacher
Marta first became interested in yoga 20 years ago while living in Omaha, NE. The regular practice of yoga helped her both physically and mentally. In fact, she benefited from the practice so much that she decided to go through yoga teacher training in order to be able to share the love with her community. Marta completed East/West yoga teacher training in 2004 under the mentorship of Tippy Denenberg and Theresa Murphy. Marta taught yoga at One Tree Yoga in Omaha for several years before moving with her family to the Fox Chapel Area in 2008. After spending some time raising her two boys and doing community and volunteer work, Marta decided that she really wanted to go back to her yoga teaching roots. Marta is a big believer in the old Buddhist philosophy, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" and feels that this chance to teach yoga in this community is also an opportunity to her learn and grow with her students. Namaste!
