Margate NOW 2019 – UYHFH 'Use Your Hands For Happiness'
This year The Turner Prize is coming to Margate. I am very pleased to be taking part in the 2019 Margate Festival which in response to the Turner Prize 2019 will run alongside, from 28 September 2019 – 12 January 2020. The overall theme of the festival this year is MargateNOW.
'Use Your Hands For Happiness' will be an installation of textile works utilising discarded fabrics and addresses the issue of textile waste and domestic making. The work for MargateNOW picks up on elements of my 2005 MA show, in which I attempted to highlight issues around textile waste. Sadly the throwaway practices of the fast fashion and interior textile industry have only increased over years since I was at the RCA. The manufacture and consumption of cheap and synthetic products has not abated and continues to present huge environmental challenges. Studies show that extending the life cycle of textiles will have significant benefits; so is it possible for all of us to make a difference by small actions of saving, mending, making and reuse?
As well as thoughts about textile waste the new works will celebrate of the everyday domestic practices of women like my grandmother Mabel Smith. She practiced her own kind of 'thrifty creativity' and her sewing and making inspired me at a very young age. Her influence on my practice as an artist has continued. She was an ordinary housewife and mother, who was very clever and magic to me. Her skills felt like a kind of power – I'm not saying she was a witch or anything, but she also had newts in her pond, so?
'Use Your Hands For Happiness' is a kind of call to action, much like the 'Mend and Make Do' we are more familiar with. It comes from the women's magazines and 'how to' manuals of the 30's – 50's that I looked at as part of research I did at the Geffrye Museum in 2007, for the Reflect Forward Award. At that time I had been collecting any half finished embroidery projects and vintage embroidery transfers that I came across in charity shops, and I used all this material together with the Geffrye Museum research, as a starting point for new artworks that celebrated the thrift and ingenuity of this kind of domestic making. U Y H F H , makes this call again, celebrating and questioning how we might use less and still have more?

Most people will agree that local business is at the core of building a successful community, and few communities are more tightly bound than Valparaiso.
Among the many businesses which have helped to build and strengthen that bond is Valparaiso First Insurance, under the very capably leadership of Chuck Welter.
Born in Gary, Indiana, Chuck and his family moved to South Bend when he was a young boy. There he attended school from 5th grade through high school. Welter obtained his MBA at Notre Dame following his undergrad at Indiana University before returning to the Valparaiso area in 1974.
He says that the insurance business wasn't his first plan, but rather was an outgrowth of his involvement with First National Bank of Valparaiso.
"I was the president of First National Bank of Valparaiso," said Welter. "The insurance company was a part of that business. Eventually, the bank was sold. By that time, I had owned the agency since 1976 and it had become separate from the bank."
He decided to continue his involvement with the insurance company as a way to commemorate his father, who had been involved with the business for many years.
"He had acquired the insurance company. After the bank was gone, I made the decision to continue working with the insurance agency as a sort of a tribute to all his effort. It was pretty much the last remaining asset which he and I had been involved in," said Welter.
Although he takes his business seriously, Chuck has his priorities well in order and says that he likes to focus on spending time with family, especially his grandchildren.
"We have a lot of very capable young people there [at Valpo First Insurance]," said Welter. "Jason Schwerdt, Kyle Knutson, Richard Thompson and Cindy Faricelli - they're all good people there. They do good work and really take care of our customers."
When he's not in the office or spending time with family, Chuck is no stranger to the golf course. In fact, to say that he's an avid golfer may just be a bit on an understatement, having won several local golf tournaments over the years.
"I sponsor the Porter Amateur Golf Tournament," said Welter. "It used to be called the Vidette Messenger when it started back in 1955. I won there six times, my son has won it five times. Over the years, we added a women's division, a Senior Division and even a Super-Senior Division."
Welter has also won the golf championship at the Valpo Country Club eleven times.
"I guess you could say I have a commitment to golf," said Welter. "The game has been a big part of our investment in the community as well as in our family."
Welter currently lives in Porter Beach with Donna Howell, his partner of 16 years. He has four children - Bill Welter who owns Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks, Michigan, Elizabeth who is the owner of Granola Girl in Valparaiso, Jennifer who lives with her husband in Istanbul, Turkey, and Katie who lives in Colorado and is expecting her first child.
"They have a name already picked out," said Chuck. "He'll be named Henry."
Welter has four granddaughters - Grace, 8 and Laurel who is looking forward to her fourth birthday, as well as Islay, 5 and Ayla Osburn.
"I've heard it said, 'You live where you can make a living,'" said Chuck. "Over the years, our family goes way back in this area. My grandfathers both attended Valpo University Law school in the early 1900s. They then moved to Gary where my parents met, married and raised a family of 5. My father was an automobile dealer before he moved to Valpo and became involved with the bank."
Chuck is a big fan of the Popcorn Festival.
"It's been a wonderful thing for the community. That's always been a wonderful event for the area. Also, the Halloween events are becoming a huge occasion. I'm amazed to see how many people turn out for that holiday - it's becoming the second most popular holiday and a lot of people really put a lot of effort into it. Valpo is a wonderful community where people seem to be focused more on others rather than on themselves and that's a wonderful thing."
Chuck has been involved with several recent renovations contributing to Valparaiso's gorgeous downtown.
"A few years ago, when Binder's Jewelers decided to relocate out to Route 30, we decided that having a downtown presence would enhance our business, so we acquired the Binder building. We found some photos of what that building had looked like at the turn of the century. It was really quite wonderful, and we decided to commit ourselves to renovating that building in a fashion consistent with its appearance in earlier days," said Welter.
So far, it's been a significant project.
"There were things like stairways and balconies that had been eliminated over the years. There were other things too, like neighboring businesses which had been acquired by Binder over the years as they expanded," said Welter. "We had to remove a lot of the exterior of the building, returning it to the original brick facade and exposing several windows and entryways which had been covered up over the years."
"We're pretty excited about what we're doing. We often see people stopping to take photos now, in front of the building, and we're quite flattered that people seem to like what we're doing in taking that building back to the way it was," said Welter.
"That effort on the building is something that we are happy to give back. We're doing it without asking for any special considerations, tax abatements or otherwise. We're just happy to give back to the community as a way to say thank you to all those who have supported the bank and insurance company over the years."
Giving back to the community builds a stronger bond. It's a lesson that Chuck Welter and his coworkers at Valparaiso First Insurance understand very well, indeed.

Dog kennel Atascocita TX is an essential need for individuals and families who have loving friends of the four-legged variety. Pet owners strive to avoid feeling the anguish about whether the accommodations for their furry devotees are better than adequate. As animal fans ourselves at Dog's Day Inn Pet Resort, we understand that finding an excellent dog kennel Atascocita TX is an undebatable necessity.
We are fully confident that we provide precisely the oversight and environment pet owners are really looking for.
The ways in which we create a homey milieu are plentiful. Many Texas homes frequently have big screen running, as one aspect of everyday living. Dogs are highly very familiar with the sounds and sights of plasma screens. Which is the reason we make it a routine practice to play pet-friendly programs throughout each day?
The safety of your canines and felines in our care is of utmost importance. We know it's a chief priority for pet owners, as well. The fencing that encompasses our dog kennel Atascocita TX play yard is 6 feet high. In addition, the dogs are uninterruptedly attended by attentive staff members. Our team keeps a watchful eye on the guests entrusted to our safekeeping.
We have a state-of-the-art closed-circuit security system at our dog kennel Atascocita TX. The advancement of electronic innovation is huge for pet families everywhere. No need to let the anguish of uncertainty take over your mind. Do not worry about the situation with your furry family member. Especially, when separation is a necessity. If your sentiments are compatible with many pet owners we know, the option of literally observing your Chihuahua, Border collie, Shih Tzu, Irish setter, or poodle from afar is immense. That is much appreciated. Just to be clear, we aren't exclusionary in the least. Whatever breed or non-breed your dog is, he will receive that same high-quality level of care. We know you are also possibly ecstatic to have the option of quieting anxiety. We do so by allowing you to see for yourself how he's doing.
Additional Amenities
We consider our dog kennel Atascocita TX to be somewhat of a boon to dogs, as well. Our facilities have a full-sized swimming pool that provides daily opportunities for the most jubilant form of exercise. As well as hydrotherapy for them too.
With the chance to launch into a swimming pool and celebrate being a lucky dog, your pet will find himself/herself having a veritable vacation. Even as he/she has you at the front of his mind.
The authorization of a qualified veterinarian is required for your pet to take advantage of the premier swimming activity that we offer at Dog's Day Inn. Your dog may be rehabilitating from a surgery or he may be overweight or geriatric. In all cases, hydrotherapy is just what the veterinarian has no doubt prescribed. For all dogs, there are incontrovertible rewards provided by going for a time of activity and a dip in the pool.
At Dog's Day Inn, we are a dog kennel Atascocita TX that was first in full swing in Humble. Like any newly established business, a guarantee of success was virtually nonexistent.
Reach Any Of Our Locations Today
The establishment has proliferated across the Houston metropolitan area so that there are correspondingly steadfast locations in Atascocita, Cypress, Kingwood, and Katy. Such business prowess in an industry like the care of beloved, pampered, and adored pets couldn't conceivably occur if the dogs who sojourn here weren't cheery about their stopover, whether their stay is protracted or fleeting.
One practice at Dog's Day Inn dog kennel Atascocita TX that may supply an additional component of assurance is that we are meticulous about ensuring that each dog and cat that stays has the required inoculations. Vaccinations are very important because of the existence of potential exposure to illness. Such as the highly contagious upper respiratory infection with the name of bordetella. Kennel cough is another name for it.
Every careful step toward assuring that you find the ultimate dog kennel Atascocita TX for your pet should lead you to us at Dog's Day Inn Pet Resort.

Ali is well known web designer. He believes that website design should be both usable and pleasing,
delivers information and builds brand is technically sound and visually coherent. He provides good
navigation and does good use of tabs. Write down at least four reasons why does he use Tab for
good navigation?5 (pg 294)
Four reasons to use tabs:
It hasn't been proven (yet), but It is strongly suspected that Leonardo da Vinci invented tab dividers
sometime in the late I5th century. As interface devices go, they're clearly a product of genius. Now,
many sites have started using tabs for navigation. They're an excellent navigation choice for large sites.
Here's why:
• They're self-evident. I've never seen anyone—no matter how "computer illiterate"—look at a tabbed
interface and say, "Hmmm. I wonder what those do?"
• They're hard to miss. When I do point-and-click user tests, I'm surprised at how often people can
overlook button bars at the top of a Web page. But because tabs are so visually distinctive, they're hard to
overlook. And because they're hard to mistake for anything but navigation, they create the kind of
obvious-at-a-glance division you want between navigation and content.
• They're slick. Web designers are always struggling to make pages more visually interesting without
making them slow to load. If done correctly (see below), tabs can add polish and serve a useful purpose,
all without bulking up the page size.
• They suggest a physical space. Tabs create the illusion that the active tab physically moves to the front.
7:what is global navigation and its components?
Answer: (Pg 487)
Answer: Web designers use the term penitent navigation (or global navigation) to describe the set of navigation
elements that appear on every page of a site, Persistent navigation should include the five elements you
most need to have on hand at all times.
1. The Home page.
2. Forms.
3. Site ID
4. The Sections
5. The Utilities
Q.No.42 List down any four principles that can help make your visual
interface as easy and pleasurable to use as possible. (Page#345)
1) Avoid visual noise and clutter
3) Provide visual structure and flow at each level of organization
4) Use cohesive, consistent, and contextually appropriate imagery
5) Integrate style and function comprehensively and purposefully
There is a very close relationship between contextual needs and requirements. Elaborate this
relationship in easy words.3
Answer: ( pg 204) Contextual needs and requirements Contextual needs describe relationships between
sets of objects or sets of controls, as well as possible relationship between objects and controls. This can
include which types of objects to display together to make sense for workflow or to meet specific persona
goals, as well as how certain objects must interact with other objects and the skills and capabilities of the
personas using the product.
What are Suppose you are creating an account on yahoo, fill all the required information but forget
to retype password. As you click on submit button a warning is message appears "This information
is required" on retype password field. Yahoo suggests that your registration will not be submitted
until you retype password. Explain this specific characteristic of considerate software in five
Answer: It ensures there are no mistakes while typing the password because retyping matches and
makes sure you do not make a mistake. You can type an error password once but not twice. This is a
security check and it"s good for user.
What is the first step of a trunk test?
Answer:- Choose a page anywhere in the site at random, and print it.
what is first goal of an artist?2
artists have studied and designed numerous variations of this concept.
Q.No.61 What are Ancillary Application Windows? (Page#396)
Ancillary application windows are windows that are not really part of the application's functionality, but are provided as a matter of convention
Q: Why some time direct observation is not possible
Answer:- Sometimes direct observation is not possible because it is obtrusive or evaluators cannot be
present over the duration of the study, and so users' activities are tracked indirectly.
3. Drawbacks of low-fidelity prototype?
Limited error checking., Poor detailed specification to code to, Navigational and flow
Q.No.25 You are a software engineer and design different applications that are usable for users
without modifications. How do you define accessibility with respect to emerging paradigm?
(Page#408) 5marks
Accessibility is a general term used to describe the degree to which a system is usable by as many people
as possible without modification. It is not to be confused with usability which is used to describe how
easily a thing can be used by any type of user. One meaning of accessibility specifically focuses on
people with disabilities and their use of assistive devices such as screen-reading web browsers or
Q: you visit different websites of all types of products explain
"NO sense of scale " AND
"NO sense of location"
in context of problems by using web experience.
No sense of scale.
Even after we've used a Web site extensively, unless it's a very small site we tend to have
very little sense of how big it is (50 pages? 1,000? 17,000?). For all we know, there could
be huge corners we've never explored. Compare this to a magazine, a museum, or a
department store, where you always have at least a rough sense of the seen/unseen ratio.
The practical result is that it's very hard to know whether you've seen everything of
interest in a site, which means it's hard to know when to stop looking.
No sense of location.
In physical spaces, as we move around we accumulate knowledge about the space. We
develop a sense of where things are and can take shortcuts to get to them.
We may get to the chainsaws the first time by following the signs, but the next time we're
just as likely to think,
Q.No.29 You are assigned to perform trunk test on website "amazon.com". Write down all the
necessary steps to perform the trunk test. (Page#296) 3marks
Imagine that you've been blindfolded and locked in the trunk of a car, then driven around for a while and
dumped on a page somewhere deep in the bowels of a Web site. If the page is well designed, when your
vision clears you should be able to answer these questions without hesitation:
1. What site is this? (Site ID) amazon.com
2. What page am I on? (Page name)
3. What are the major sections of this site? (Sections)
4. What are my options at this level? (Local navigation)
5. Where am I in the scheme of things? ("You are here" indicators)
6. How can I search?
Q.No.47 Does it is necessary for evaluation team to have the expertise needed
to do the evaluation? Justify your answer with example. (Page#402)
Does the evaluation team have the expertise needed to do the evaluation?
Example, if no one has used models to evaluate systems before, then basing an evaluation on this approach is not sensible. It is no use planning to use experts to review an interface if none are available. Similarly, running usability tests requires expertise. Analyzing video can take many hours, so someone with appropriate expertise and equipment must be available to do it. If statistics are to be used, then a statistician should be consulted before starting the evaluation and then again later for analysis, if appropriate.
Q.No.58 Define excise? (Page#245)
When we decide to drive to the office, we must open the garage door, get in, start the motor, back out, and close the garage door before we even begin the forward motion that will take us to our destination. All these actions are in support of the automobile rather than in support of getting to the destination.
What does PARC stands for? (2)
PARC, Palo Alto Research Center
During interface design what are the important points that you take care keenly with respect to
Alignment of the Visual elements. 5
Answer: (P-348)
Alignment of visual elements is one of the key ways that designers can help users experienced product in
an organized, systematic way. Grouped elements should be aligned both horizontally and vertically.
In particular, designers should take care to.
• Align labels. Labels for controls stacked vertically should be aligned with each other; leftjustification is
easier for users to scan than right justification, although the latter may look visually cleaner — if the input
forms are the same size. (Otherwise, you get a Christmas tree, ragged-edge effect on the left and right.)
• Align within a set of controls. A related group of check boxes, radio buttons, or text , fields should be
aligned according to a regular grid.
• Align across controls. Aligned controls (as described previously) that are grouped together with other
aligned controls should all follow the same grid.
• Follow a regular grid structure for larger-scale element groups, panes, and screens, as well as for
smaller grouping of controls.
Q)What is the basic concept behing the Ubiquitous computing? OR
QNo.3 what is Ubiquitous Computing? (2 Marks)
Answer:- REF:: Handouts Page No. 140
The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of
everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it. These words have inspired a new generation of
researchers in the area of ubiquitous computing
Suppose u are a product designer. is it important to notice Realistic requirements and technology of business to develop product?
It's important to get a firm idea of the realistic requirements of the business and
technology you are designing.
structures, and business models.
constraints, and software platform choices.
1) Blind and explanatory undo? Page (312)
Blind and explanatory undo:
Normally, undo is invoked by a menu item or toolbar control with an unchanging label or icon. The user
knows that triggering the idiom undoes the last operation, but there is no indication of what that operation
is. This is called a blind undo. On the other hand, if theidiom includes a textual or visual description of
the particular operation that will be undone it is an explanatory undo. If, for example, the user's last
operation was to type in the word design, the undo function on the menu says Undo Typing design.
Explanatory undo is, generally, a much more pleasant feature than blind undo. It is fairly easy to put on a
menu item, but more difficult to put on a toolbar control, although putting the explanation in a ToolTip is
a good compromise.
4:what are controllable vocabularies?
Answer: (Pg 407)
Vocabulary control comes in many shapes and sizes. At its most vague, a controlled vocabulary is any
defined subset of natural language. At its simplest, a controlled vocabulary is a list of quivalent terms in
the form of a synonym ring, or a list of preferred terms in the form of an authority file.
In evaluation process, tells about schedule and budget constraints. 5
Schedule and budget constraints: Time and budget constraints are important considerations to keep in
mind. It might seem ideal to have 20 users test your interface, but if you need to pay them, then it could
get costly. Planning evaluations that can be completed on schedule is also important, particularly in
commercial settings. There is never enough time to do evaluations as you would ideally like, so you have
to compromise and plan to do a good job with the resources and time available.
Q) What are the steps in defining the requirement"s with respect to persona-based design?
Defining the requirements: The Requirement Definition phase determines the what of the design: what
functions our personas need to use and what kind of information they must access to accomplish their
goals. The following five steps comprise this process:
1. Creating problem and vision statement
2. Brainstorming
3. Identifying persona expectations
4. Constructing the context scenario
5. Identifying needs
the steps in de Suppose you are a web designer in company "xyz." Your company build a website
which has poor usability due to its poor navigation. What most effective action will you take to
improve navigation? Give any three effective actions.3
QNo.39Write any two common ways to Improve Navigation? [2]
Answer:- REF:: Handouts Page No. 408
1. One integrated within a web site or intranet to improve navigation and retrieval, shares a common
heritage with the familiar reference text but has a different form and function.
2. Thesaurus is a semantic network of concepts, connecting words to their synonyms, homonyms,
antonyms, broader and narrower terms, and related terms.

Pay tribute to your favorite club in long-sleeve soccer t-shirts with lightweight construction, ribbed polo collars and commemorative details or show support for your national team in limited-edition tees with fresh graphics and premium cotton.
adidas released the first Samba in 1950 as a traction-soled soccer shoe to help players train on frozen ground. For the 1954 FIFA World Cup™, the German national team wore a studded variation of the Samba and beat the "unbeatable" Hungarians in the final match. With that, adidas became a household name in the sport, positioning Samba as a footwear favorite for generations of indoor soccer players and style creators to come. In 1970, the adidas Telstar got its debut as the World Cup's first official match ball—the now-iconic black and white panel design instantly recognizable even today. With every piece of soccer gear we create—from jerseys to MLS t-shirts to cleats—adidas leads with innovation, pushing the game with high-quality soccer gear to creators of all levels around the world.

Gaza Two Years Later is a series of posts by Gazan bloggers and writers reflecting on the two-year anniversary of the Israeli attack on Gaza in the winter of 2008/09. Special thanks to Mohammed Rabah Suliman and Laila El-Haddad for helping connect us to the amazing writers we featured. All posts are listed below:
A little girl, by Rawan Yaghi. Yaghi, 17, is a secondary school student in Gaza. She blogs at http://rawan-hp.blogspot.com.
My Mom suddenly stopped singing and stopped calmly feeling my hair. Her hand also stopped shaking. She was keeping me on her lap, trying to keep me warm in that cold night. It was too dark that I could barely see her face. She was very warm, but she gradually lost that comforting heat. I tried to keep it, so I covered her with the small blanket she was covering me with and I stayed in her lap. Some minutes passed; however, she didn't continue singing, and her body kept going colder. There was so much going on outside. I could hear a man weakly weeping. I thought she was listening to the sounds outside trying to know what was happening.
How I survived, by Sameeha Elwan. Elwan, 22, is an English Literature graduate from the Islamic University of Gaza. She blogs at http://sameeha88.wordpress.com.
The nights were dark and cold at that room. And when all would decide to stop talking, and try to sleep, I would start reading. Solaced by one and only one book that I kept reading over and over again, my mother, taking notice that I, unlike the others did not pretend to sleep, would start rebuking me every time she sees me holding the book so close to my eyes with one hand while the other holding a candle. "Are you planning to die burnt? Wait for your fate." It was then I grew that fascination for Darwish, his "She is a song" was such a great relief. He, too, lived a war. He, too, wanted to survive to sing her a song and to make a cup of morning coffee. How many wars have we witnessed so far? Why didn't the word cause me to tremble before as I'm trembling now? Perhaps it's only cold.
In wars, by Lina Al-Sharif. Al-Sharif, 22, studies English literature at the Islamic University in Gaza. She blogs at http://livefromgaza.wordpress.com/.
In wars, dawn is a sign
a sign of survival,
a sign that you are still alive
5 pm, sundown,
the drums of death
begins to sound…
Strangers weep through waves
bombs drop…
then Children, women… bodies
then exploding silence…
The Earth woke peacefully, by Mohammed Rabah Suliman. Suliman, 21, is a student of English Literature at the Islamic University of Gaza. He blogs at http://msuliman.wordpress.com/.
Two years later, when I look back on it now, I cannot but severely chide myself for the selfishly devised system by which I lived through the war. Though it spared my life and, and by sticking to its oppressive minutes, I was stopped from going mad, I was undoubtedly egoistical and awfully inconsiderate to the suffering of others. Not that I was not a direct victim of war, plagued with all sorts of traumatic suffering on top of my relentless psychological struggle. From 5:00 pm, the moment I was to be abandoned by everybody else (socializing in war was by far the best procedure everybody took up to survive together, and in case death was in prospect, die together), I left alone despairingly fighting back all vicious thoughts and images that assailed my already wearied mind. The would last until dawn when, consumed by fear and grief, I would fall asleep.
The world has come to recognize our plight, by Mohammed Said AlNadi. AlNadi, 23, lives in Gaza andworks as translator and freelance journalist.
While there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, I think the issue of Gaza is far more important than being a charity case. People often think that in Gaza people are living humanitarian drought; and what I'm really afraid of is that they are losing the essence of the endeavor of breaking the siege and bringing justice and peace. The people of Gaza don't need food, they crave freedom—the ability to rub shoulders with the world and to be able to travel and see the world, get better lives and medical treatment, and have good education abroad.
War is never over, by Sarah Ali. Ali,19, is a second-year student of English literature at the Islamic University, Gaza.
I am sick of attempting to be objective. I don't want to be "objective" anymore. I want to be Palestinian. I want to be a mere Gazan. That's who I actually am, and that's what I would have liked to be had I been something else. I want to keep talking about the war. I don't want to "let it go" because it still hurts. It will always.
From beneath, by Rawan Yaghi. Yaghi, 17, is a secondary school student in Gaza. She blogs at http://rawan-hp.blogspot.com.
I didn't even know if my eyes were open.
After a big mess everything seemed so calm I could sense the dust covering my face, the only part I could feel. I could feel my breath hitting one of the bricks of my room's floor. Air found its way through everything surrounding my body. Silence was all I could hear.
I waited 23 days to cry, and two years to write by Fidaa Abu Assi. Abu Assi, 22, is an English Literature graduate from the Islamic University of Gaza. She blogs at http://fidaa.me/.
When it was over, I could fake my resilience no more. I do remember that two nights after the war, I woke up to find myself crying heavily. That time I hadn't fought back my tears. I simply couldn't. I wanted to release all my pent-up emotions so I broke down in tears. I could no longer contain myself. My mum was awakened by my pathetic sobs. So anxious was she that she didn't know what she had to do. She took me in her warm lap trying to soothe away my fear. Clutching her arm, I bitterly wept. With bated breath she asked "have you waited 23-days to cry?" I didn't know under what categories I should have classified my tears. Tears of survival? Tears of suppression? Tears of injustice? Tears of negligence? I didn't care. I became better off since then, however.
The roof of my house, by Sarah Ali. Ali,19, is a second-year student of English literature at the Islamic University, Gaza.
I wish I could one day go up to sit in the roof and to find that nothing had changed. I am waiting for the day when I go up to find my cousin and his fellows playing marbles. I am waiting for the day when I find the tank leaking and the lawn under it getting green. I am waiting for the day when I find the pigeons' chamber standing where my father had once built it. I believe I will one day find the roof as lovely as it has always been. I don't know how or when, but I feel it's coming, and I know how naïve this sounds.
23 days of my life, by Jehan Al-Farra. Al-Farra, 20, studies English Literature at the Islamic University of Gaza. She blogs at http://palinoia.wordpress.com/.
One of the things that are carved in my memory is when I thought that my best friend, Hala, died. We were up all night long that night listening to the radio; the Israeli troops had invaded Tal Alhawa where she lives, and they got so close to her house. According to the radio, the situation was severe in that area; constant shelling and evacuating. They mentioned all the places around her house, and even our flat in Tal Alhawa. It was 3 a.m. when I called her, but no answer; I tried to call on the landline, but no answer; her cell phone, no answer. I, then, called all of her family members' cell phones, they were either off or no one would answer. I got really anxious. I kept calling and calling and I didn't even sleep. I forgot all about the bombing around my house even!
There is nothing that tastes as beautiful as reading in the dark, by Mohammed Rabah Suliman. Suliman, 21, is a student of English Literature at the Islamic University of Gaza. He blogs at http://msuliman.wordpress.com/.
"I just take it as a challenge, the louder the bomb, the more engrossed in my book I become; the more intense the shooting, the more pages I'm determined to read. And they just lose."

Guest Post: Adrian Rawlings
5 Horrific Subgenres of Horror
What scares you? What keeps you awake at night and causes you to quake and tremble beneath your sheets? The things you find horrifying might resonate well with others, while some might not understand what all the fuss is about. However, truth be told, we're all scared of something and different things can terrify different people.
Horror-themed television programming and most of what Hollywood has to offer tend to be rather conventional when compared to the utter litany of subgenres that are out there. However, as the years have gone on, more and more movies have blurred the lines, giving rise to some of the most twisted subgenres. Most of the credit goes to Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense who would frequently blur the line between what were ostensibly thrillers and the horrifying surrealism of his direction. Thanks to him and other creative directors, there are far too many horror subgenres to talk about in the space permitted.
So, listed below are five of the best.
Eastern icons of cinema like the anime Akira and the film Tetsuo: The Iron Man, these are both great examples of body horror. This subgenre places heavy focus on the graphic depiction of destruction and degeneration of the human body, but it can also include parasitism and mutation as seen in The Thing. What makes the subgenre so effective is that it instills a certain sense of personalized dread whenever the viewer sees such a visceral depiction of body horror. In the case of The Thing that sense of dread is pretty easy to comprehend – it's saying "you're next." That's why many top horror lists still have a soft, squishy spot in their hearts for The Thing and others like it.
Post-apocalyptic horror has been a pretty popular genre in a lot of recent Hollywood offerings from Viggo Mortensen in The Road to Zombieland. The undead have been particularly prominent in really driving home just how bleak life can be for those not lucky enough to be wiped out in the apocalypse. When there is no infrastructure, no law, no morals, no civility – when humanity loses its humanity, you truly are on your own, and that can be especially frightening.
They say that crazy people only think they're getting saner while the truly sane individuals are the ones who actually question their own sanity. However, what if those who question it are so crazy that they actually think they are sane and able to question their dwindling sanity? You can go crazy asking those questions behind the questions and that's really the essence of psychological horror – the uncertainty. It's horror from the perspective of an unreliable narrator who never quite knows what's real. Shutter Island was a great example of this along with Session 9.
The 1979 film Alien popularized the tagline "In space no one can hear you scream." Alien is regarded by many as the quintessential sci-fi horror movie with others like Event Horizon following in the wake. What makes these films effective as far as horror is concerned is the sheer claustrophobia they induce. You're on a ship with nothing but the deadly vacuum of space outside – there's only so many places you can hide.
So… there probably aren't too many people out there who could honestly say they like being murdered and/or tortured to death. The mere thought of a toe or finger being cut off or being pierced with a fishing hook is a little unsettling. So, why make splatter horror movies and why go out and see them? There have been lots of psychological studies on this but no one can really agree on why we are both horrified but intrigued with these "splatter films." Maybe it's a way for us to get as close as possible to it (and confront it)…or maybe, deep down, it satiates that inherent thirst for carnage.
The list of subgenres goes on, as long and as varied as there are individuals with their own individualized fears. What you find scary might not affect others in the same way…and what others find truly terrifying may be a trifling thing, indeed. The beauty of horror and its various subgenres is that, now, it's less of a sweeping sensation – capable of hitting us all where we live.

The Capitals currently have 15 prospects playing for the AHL's Hershey Bears, including two outstanding goaltending prospects with bright futures.
Andrew Gordon, RW
Drafted 2004, 7th Round, 197th Overall
After putting up solid numbers in his first two seasons with the Hershey Bears, Gordon could eclipse his statistical marks this season. Showing a solid start with 17 goals and 37 points in 37 games, Gordon is on pace to be a point-per-game producer at the AHL level. Thought of as a potential third liner in the NHL, Gordon remains strong in the defensive zone and is a mainstay on the penalty kill. With above-average hands around the net, Gordon is able to scoop up loose pucks and bury them with ease. The second half of this season will be crucial in Gordon's development if he hopes to make it to the NHL in a full-time role.
Steve Pinizzotto, RW
Signed as a Free Agent in March, 2007
The feisty winger has had a great start to his season in Hershey, registering six goals in 33 games played. While this number may not seem too impressive, the Mississauga native is not known for his goal-scoring ability, but has already registered three short -handed goals, a league best. Often playing the role of a pest on the fourth line, Pinizzotto has seen his role increase dramatically this season, as he is now playing in all situations.
Francois Bouchard, RW
Drafted 2006, 2nd Round, 35th Overall
Last season was Bouchard's first with the Hershey Bears. Playing on the vaunted "Rookie Line" with Mathieu Perreault and Oskar Osala, Bouchard had an up and down year that was filled with spectacular nights followed by inconsistent efforts. This year, Bouchard has 18 assists and 28 points in 37 games played. While he started the season on fire, scoring nearly a goal a game for almost two weeks, Bouchard has cooled off slightly while still putting up respectable numbers. To make it to the NHL, Bouchard needs to continue working on his consistency. It has improved this season somewhat, but if he wants the big paycheck that the NHL can offer, he better find a way to give a night in, night out effort.
Chris Bourque, LW
Drafted 2004, 2nd Round, 33rd Overall
There have been few players in the Capitals organization who have experienced more drama than Bourque this season. After making the team out of training camp and being told he would play the first game of the season, Bourque was put on waivers and claimed by the Pittsburgh Penguins. He did not fit in in Pittsburgh, however, and was placed on waivers again, only to be claimed back by the Capitals and promptly sent to Hershey. Since returning to the AHL, the Boston native has been on fire, recording eight goals and 16 points in only 14 games played. Bourque has little left to prove at the AHL level and is looking forward to his next call-up to the big leagues. If he can't impress during that stint, his career in the Capitals' organization is more than likely over.
Oskar Osala, LW
Drafted 2006, 4th Round, 97th Overall
Osala was leading the league in goals at the beginning of last season. Now, the hulking power forward from Finland is struggling to put up points in his second year. With only 16 points in 32 games, the Bears probably expect more offense from the 220-pound second-year North American pro. Much like other members of the "Rookie Line," Osala struggles with consistency and will go multiple games without recording a point. Once thought to be a safe pick to make the Capitals due to his size, Osala must prove that he is still a legitimate prospect in the second half of the Bears season.
Kyle Wilson, C
Signed as a Free Agent in July. 2007
Wilson has certainly taken a long road to become a professional hockey player. Drafted out of Colgate by the Minnesota Wild, Wilson was not signed and ended up playing for the South Carolina Stingrays, the Hershey Bears ECHL affiliate. After a few games, Wilson was recalled and has torn up the AHL ever since. Now in his fourth year with the team, Wilson has recorded 10 goals and 22 points in 35 games played. While this number is right on par with his career point-per-game totals, Wilson was recalled to Washington shortly before Christmas, and racked up two assists in his first NHL game against the Colorado Avalanche. The second half of this AHL season will be crucial for Wilson as he looks to prove that he deserves a full-time shot at the NHL.
Jay Beagle, C
Signed as a Free Agent in March, 2008
In his third season in the organization, Beagle has totaled a respectable 15 points in 31 games played. Thought of as a grinder who chips in the occasional point, Beagle was recalled to Washington earlier in the season and tallied his first NHL goal against the New York Rangers, and blistering wrist shot that was picked up in the slot. With Beagle's size and decent skating ability, he has a chance to crack an NHL line-up as a bottom-six forward.
Mathieu Perreault, C
Drafted 2006, 6th Round, 177th Overall
One of the youngest players on the Bears roster, Perreault continues to impress with his speed, shiftiness, and passing abilities. The smallest center on the team, he has still been able to earn 13 assists and 17 points in only 21 games played. Perreault has such few games played because he got into his first 18 games of his NHL career earlier in the season with Washington. The former Jean Beliveau trophy winner in the QMJHL did not look out of place in the NHL at all, registering five assists and seven points. Look for Perreault to continue to work on playing a bigger game in his second half in Hershey, in hopes that he has an outside shot of making the Capitals next season.
Patrick McNeill, D
Drafted 2005, 4th Round, 118th Overall
Always being a huge plus player for the Bears, McNeill has started his third season with the team registering a +7 in 36 games played to go along with his 15 total points. Regarded as being a smaller defensemen, McNeill has seen his role with the team increase this season as he is capable of playing in all situations. With other highly drafted defensemen ahead of him though, he must use the second half of this season to stand out above the rest. His entry-level contract is up at the end of this year, and the Capitals must make an important decision on whether to re-sign him.
John Carlson, D
Drafted 2008, 1st Round, 27th Overall
The brightest spot of a young defensive core in Hershey is the play of Carlson. Already gaining valuable knowledge and experience in the Calder Cup run last season, Carlson has translated this into 24 points in 30 games to go along with a staggering +17 rating. With great size and skating ability, Carlson is an offensive defenseman with solid defensive awareness and hitting ability. Thus far, it seems as though the Capitals found a gem at the end of the first round in the 2008 draft.
Karl Alzner, D
Drafted 2007, 1st Round, 5th Overall
The other bright spot of a young defensive core comes in the package of an incredibly responsible young player. Alzner is in his second full year with the Bears and continues to impress with his spectacular defensive play. Alzner is rarely caught out of position, which is reflected in his measly six minutes of penalties in 22 games. As the season progresses, Alzner will continue to shuttle back and forth between Hershey and Washington, depending on injuries to the big club. Look for Alzner to be a lock to make the Capitals' full-time roster next season.
Zach Miskovic, D
Signed as a Free Agent in March, 2009
Recently-signed Miskovic is having an incredible start to his first professional season after playing four years with St. Lawrence in the ECAC. An offensive defenseman, Miskovic has found the transition to the AHL easier than expected due to a stacked Hershey roster. Earning 14 points in 28 games to go with a +13 rating, the River Forest, IL native will continue to work on his defensive play the second half of the Bears season. With many younger and highly-touted defensemen on the Hershey roster, Miskovic has so far been able to stand out as a positive contributor to the team.
Braden Holtby, G
Drafted 2008, 4th Round, 93rd Overall
Currently one of the leaders in goals against average and save percentage in the AHL, it is hard to believe that Holtby is only in his first professional season. With a terrific 1.40 goals against average and .950 save percentage, Holtby has risen to the occasion in Hershey while starter Michal Neuvirth is on recall to Washington. The Bears and Capitals have great goaltending depth in their system as Holtby is starting to contest Neuvirth and Varlamov as a future starter for the Capitals.
Michal Neuvirth, G
Drafted 2006, 2nd Round, 34th Overall
After a stellar start to his Hershey Bears season, the 2009 Calder Cup MVP was recalled to Washington to fill in for an injured Varlamov. Neuvirth had earned the recall, going 10-5 with one shutout and a .929 save percentage. These numbers alone were enough to garner a nod for the AHL All-Star game. With Neuvirth playing well at all levels and Varlamov showing that he can handle the pressure of the Stanley Cup playoffs, there is little doubt upon the Capitals future in net.

Despite its title as America's Finest City, San Diego, Ca. has a well-documented and sordid history of institutional corruption. Whether it's city employees treating the city pension fund as their personal ATM (and nearly bankrupted the city in 2002) or the mayor getting caught using City Hall as a frat house, San Diego's beauty belies a seedy underbelly. What a bummer.
Are these abuses merely coincidental? Or are they the result oftheir citizens living on pristine beaches and eating the dopest Mexican food found on this side of the danged fence? I can tell you from experience that the perfection that is carne asada fries can make somebody a little loopy.
The latest instance of San Diego institutional ickiness occurred at the most basic of establishments: the strip club. 2 Chainz would not approve.
Twenty-five strippers at a local San Diego ta-ta club filed a civil rights claim against SDPD, alleging cops held them at work against their will and took photos of their tats.

It's that time of the year again, the 3rd annual Greek Trail Runs that we host from our house tomorrow morning at 5AM. It's continued to evolve just like any race with plenty of fun additions.
Have you considered hosting a fun run (any distance)? If not, it's a great way to get together a bunch of passionate runners to enjoy and of course race (always fun to keep it a bit competitive) for some unique prizes. Personally living in a great park with access to 30+ miles at the end of our driveway is perfect for hosting an event. It's easy for us; the aid station is in the front yard so no problems shuttling in water, etc. to various aid stations.
It's not that difficult to organize and host a fun run especially if you can plan a loop course and have one aid station or make it all self supported.
Here are my top 10 Reasons to Host a Fun Run
- Don't need any permits, licenses, fees to runners
- No ego's allowed – just pure fun
- Our prizes are of course Greek pastries to the fasted runners covering the most distance.
- A great way to get everyone out for some exercise, no matter what age.
- Meet new runners in your area that you never met before that live within a few miles of your house!
- Of course a huge food picnic at the end of the event.
- Personal satisfaction of giving back to the sport that I have loved for the past 26 years.
- Recruitment of future younger runners to keep the sport alive (especially ultra runners)
- Great way to spend a Sat. in the summer to get everyone ready for their key fall races.
- Of course it's so much easier to run 6 or 12 hours with a big group vs. running alone.
Consider hosting a Fun Run in your area, it's personally rewarding, no question!

Our portable walk-in trailers are a great alternative to reefer trailers, reefer vans or reefer trucks – and much less expensive! There are many benefits that you can get from our refrigerated portable cooler and freezer trailers. Aside from preserving your products and goods for storage, they are the most cost- effective solution for a temporary storage facility!
Instead of purchasing or building your own cold storage unit for a short-term need, you can simply outsource to us as we can offer you a variety of storage units for your business. Purchasing or building your cold storage can be expensive and would require much investment (purchase cost of equipment and rent for the added space) for it to take place. Also, you would need to call on expensive technicians for maintenance and service, which only adds to the expense.
Koolzone® Rental Company delivers electric powered refrigeration trailers direct to your location for any cooling or freezer need. It is a walk-in cooler on wheels and it can fit in a parking spot. You can rent our trailers either short term or long term. We deliver the cooler or freezer trailer to your location, plug it into an outlet and you instantly have a walk-in cooler or freezer at your site that operates just like any unit in a commercial establishment. Our portable trailers are built specifically for outdoor use. It doesn't matter if it's an ice blizzard or intense heatwave - they will be at proper temperature and are winterized.

text: Chris J 55 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I'm running a 2011 NA Evora which has an odd thing going on with the coolant temperatures which I don't know if it's at all normal. Trundling along at town speeds temperatures warm up to normal (halfway or slightly lower on the gauge) as I'd expect. If I then have a short spirited drive on the country roads for 5 miles or so, using more of the rev range, the temperature vanishes back down the scale. Usually down to a few pixels above the bottom, but on a cold night two days ago temperatures dropped right off the bottom of the scale which was more worrying! Going back in to town driving the temperature slowly comes back up. The little sustained motorway driving I do the temperature sits around 1/3 up the scale. Last time I was out for an extended drive (back end of the summer) I don't recall anything unusual in temperatures later in the journey. To my non mechanical mind it's like there's a reservoir of cold coolant somewhere in the system that's being flushed past the temperature sensor once coolant starts circulating when the revs rise. So I don't know if this is normal and a symptom of the short journeys/initial warm up period or something to worry about and indicating a blockage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charles Spence
What are the effects of sound on the taste of our drinks? How can you play with glassware? Does the colour of food impact its taste? These are a few of the questions raised at Charles Spence's seminar at the 2016 Havana Club Grand Prix. Undoubtedly the most surprising session of the training days that preceded the competition…
As stated in his biography, Charles Spence, the head of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at Oxford University, "is interested in how people perceive the world around them". This ranges from how talking on a mobile phone will affect the way one drives a car to how what we see contributes to what we taste. "There has been sensory work on food for decades but mostly boring stuff, and multisensory studies on how the senses connect, but mostly about hearing, vision and touch", he told us. "Nobody cared much about food."
Spence first started working on how smell and taste interact in 1999. He consulted with brands but "the industry is slow. Chefs and mixologists can change things immediately and what we learn can then be applied to other environments." In 2003, he was put in touch with renowned chef Heston Blumenthal. "Chefs want to take things apart and recreate them in unusual ways, they want to shock and surprise people. So they mislead expectations and sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. They needed a bit more information to understand why."
One of Blumenthal's most famous serve was seafood in a plate that looked like the seashore, to be enjoyed to the sounds of the… sea. This enhanced the sensory experience, but it only works for one dish, not a whole meal. Other experiences can fail: "the first impression stays with you, and it's not easily overwritten later. If you're expecting something sweet and you get something salty, you'll find it too salty. If you get back to it later, even knowing what to expect, you'll still find it too salty…"
Spence doesn't only work with chefs: he has a very good working relationship with Tony Conigliaro, for instance. The thing is, multisensory experiences such as the ones some brands are now setting up can be very expensive. So how can a small bar owner apply the findings of experimental psychologists? According to Spence, it can be very easy. "You can do great things with glassware at high-end places, but Tony puts and inexpensive piece of string around the stem of a cocktail glass, and I remember some bar just putting bubble wrap around it. Cheap, everyday material that can help create a contrast between what it feels like in your hand and what you're drinking." Playing around with the sonority of cocktail names or their order on the menu can also have unexpected effects.
And, of course, there's sound – and a bar is full of sound. "Many people order tomato juice on planes, yet very little do it on the ground. Tomato juice is umami-rich and we found that the loud noise of the airplane supress your ability to taste sweet and salty, but it enhances your ability to taste umami. That's why some airlines are now developing umami-rich menus and altering their wine selection." Now you know: if you want to sell lots of Cubanitos, the Cuban Bloody Mary, make sure your bar is loud.
More seriously, Spence says that it's time to really consider your music selection: "Did you think about it or is it just a random playlist? I can't necessarily tell you what the correct selection is, but if you start thinking about it, you'll probably end up with a better space than you started with."
Science is expensive and big brands or famous chefs and bartenders are better placed to help and benefit from its advances. But digging in Charles Spence's research (and his book 'The Perfect Meal') might help you come up with your own ways of improving the overall guest experience. And stay tuned: Spence is now working a lot on what he calls 'sonic seasoning'.
Coming to a bar near you soon enough...

Article by Vijay Raisinghani
We all have enjoyed much pleasures and joys in our lives, but they have all passed and vanished away with the source through which we achieved them. They can be defined as the Material Pleasures where the source of happiness is somewhere outside. But the problem with such pleasure is that it is as perishable as are all material objects in the Outer World.
How many times have we wondered and questioned ourselves when is the day of pure Bliss and Ecstasy going to come in my life which will not go? The mind answers maybe sometime in the near future that much awaited day is finally going to come. Its just a sheer hope and we have no idea in our mind how true Bliss is finally going to come.
For achieving True and Permanent Bliss within, its important that the object of Pleasure is permanent and within us. Meditation is the means to achieve ever lasting joy within. Meditation is the bathing of the mind, it is the unloading of pain, stress and confusions. Through Meditation, one can achieve this state of peace and tranquillity very easily.
What is Meditation? In pure essence, Meditation is a state of inactive and passive witnessing of the Mind. As we watch the mind patiently and watch the rattling of thoughts, we start being unattached to them. Thus we also begin to be unattached to the mind. Its just like sitting by the side of a pond and watching the mud settle down in the water after a storm has just passed by. Nothing is needed to be done on our part to settle the mud below on the bottom of the pond. It happens on its own accord, as the mud is heavy and its nature is to sink to the bottom.
Watching the mind passively, soon this awareness dawns upon us that we are not mind, we are not the body, we are not the intellect. This understanding is not imaginative or a philosophical statement, but its an experience. This is the beginning of a revolution in us. Normally, mind functions like a rock and keeps us pinned down. Awareness gives us the freedom from this slavery of the mind.
Once we understand this that we are not the mind and this identification with the mind breaks, we get a glimpse of our true Buddha hood. We get a glimpse of the beyond and true benediction dawns on us immediately. We come to know that we are immortal, life and death cannot bind us. We are Free from Slavery, once and for all. So, the Key is to learn to alienate ourselves from the mind.
There is a very beautiful Meditation Technique that gives us this master key to be free of the identification with the mind. It is called Beyond Boundaries Meditation. As the name suggests, it gives us the experience that we are existent beyond all boundaries, beyond all the limitations of the mind. We enter a feeling of great expansion that knows no bounds, a life of awareness without any agitation whatsoever.
This beautiful technique is created by the Contemporary Enlightened Mystic- Shri Anandmurti Gurumaa. It was once a closely guarded meditation technique by the Zen Masters and was revealed only when the disciple had passed many difficult tests. But now it has been made available to all. It is a loving gift from the Master. The meditation can be done easily using the pre-recorded meditation album. It carries easy-to-follow instructions for meditation and is supported by beautiful and elevating music.
Meditation is not at all difficult when we use the right technique and the right approach towards it. A Realized Master knows the intricate workings of the mind and knows the right way to be unattached to it. One can achieve great heights of consciousness and Bliss by the rich experience of the Master. Little did we know that Nirvana and True Bliss were just a footstep away. The Guidance of the Master makes Meditation a sheer joy and as easy as a child's play.

The Crown Prince of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizzuddin Putra Jamalullail gave his consent to visit the operation of an Independent Power Plant in the state known as 'Loji Tenaga Perlis' at Kuala Sungai Baru. In the two hours visit, his royal highness had been given a briefing by the Plant Manager, Nik Ahmad Kamal Mustaffa.

TeX's ability as a programming language can be leveraged to produce documents that include fairly sophisticated calculations. Although not everybody's cup of tea, such documents are akin to literate programming in that you can describe what you are about to calculate, as well as perform the calculation.
In How to typeset large numbers, I used a simple macro to calculate the Mersenne prime for 1279, which took a few seconds to compile. (This is also noticeably slow using other scripting languages with big integer libraries).
How can I cache the result from a macro, so that the calculation is not repeated in following runs?
I was thinking of something using
\pdfmdfivesum to create a hash for a filename and use this to cache the results. The reason for the hash is that one might want to call the macro with different values - so the md5 hash can for example be the macro name plus a value.

Turtleneck sweaters are so in this season and I absolutely love them. Turtlenecks are such a cute clothing staple that can be paired with anything! You can choose to wear a casual look which would consist of a simple turtleneck sweater, a pair of jeans and some boots. Alternatively, you can spruce up the outfit a bit more and swap out the jeans for a cute skirt. Add a pair of tights and a nice pair of ankle or knee length boots and you're ready to go.
Warm Coats
They're such a comfortable and conventional necessity for the winter time. There are so many to choose from, so, choose one (or a couple) that suit your interests.
Ankle Boots
Ankle boots are practically a wardrobe staple for me year-round. These boots paired with a skirt, tights and sweater combo make for an especially great look.
I love to wear skirts paired with tights and a cute top in the winter. A skirt and tights combo can really dress up a casual look, so, if you're feeling it, try it out. I find skirts to be such a versatile clothing staple that could be styled many ways to go with any season.
Knit hats
Knit hats come in different styles and are such a cute winter accessory that keeps your head warm and could add that nice touch to your outfit.
Denim Jacket
A stylish year-round staple, denim jackets add an edgy or casual touch to your look. Distressed, light-wash, dark-wash or with patchwork applied. As the others, denim jackets come in many styles and can switch up your look in the best way.
The Jeans
Now, we all know what "The Jeans" is supposed to mean, and if you don't? Well Hun, let me inform you. A must-have year-round staple would be those pair of jeans that form to your body shape in the best possible way. There is no extra gap by the waistband, and camel toe isn't an issue. These jeans keep your body looking snatched whilst rocking your favorite look.
Thanks so much for reading loves! Until next time for more in fashion.

Reading between the lines from the Bank of Italy , Back to 2012 in the month of July Mario Draghi, on the verge of yet another Eurozone collapse, promised the world that he would do literally "whatever it takes" to defend the Euro, banks in the insolvent continent took his promise seriously, and ramped up their participation in the most epic Ponzi scheme conceived in Europe to a whole new level. The scheme, of course, was one where banks would buy sovereign bonds issued by their host country (most notably Spain and Italy), and subsequently repo them back to the ECB for near full cash (net of a minuscule haircut) collateral.
The IMF also published a crucial paragraph doing the spillover analysis indicates that a shock from Italy could have a marked impact on the Europe and beyond through trade and financials channels. Bilateral links pronounced vis-à-vis Germany and France;but more broadly Italy is the world fifth largest manufacturer , represents 17% of Euro area GDP and has the world third largest bond market. Give its central role in the global trading and financial system, a significant idiosyncratic shock in Italy could generate regional or global spillovers that would likely be much bigger. In this context the authority's ongoing efforts to reduce fiscal vulnerabilities and support growth will have benefits beyond Italy – contributing to a more robust recovery in Europe.
The ECB had no real deus ex machina up its sleeve. What it did have is an imaginary "forward guidance" construct – a monetary "all in gamble" backed by what little faith in the ECB remained – dubbed the OMT (or the Outright Monetary Transactions) program, its only purpose was to boost confidence and to force the selling wave to end, replacing it with mindless buying.
It succeeded for a while.
The biggest drawback of the OMT, however, is that it was never actually meant to be put into operation, and a year and a half after its inception, there is still no legal term sheet, or conditionality framework, in which it would be enacted into practice. The reason is simple: the OMT was never supposed to be actually enacted as an outright, unsterilized monetization mechanism, and certainly not before the Merkel re-election. Doing so who destroy any chance the Chancellor had of storming to the top, as it would become clear to Germany that the only possible fallback plan Europe has, is to jump head first in a strategy made quite clear by both the Fed and the BOJ, namely epic, unbridled unsterilized monetization of debt, bringing those so painful Weimar Republic flashbacks with it. Something Germans is all too familiar with.
In other words, beginning in July 2012, Europe's only strategy became hope. Hope that nothing bad would ever again happen. Hope that monetary policy can mask the absolute failure that fiscal policy across the continent (and world) had and has become. Hope that nobody ever calls the bluff of either the ECB, or the global central bank syndicate.
Over the weekend, Sylvio Berlusconi just called that bluff by telling his ministers to submit their resignations.
What happens next is unclear. What is clear is that as the chart below shows, Italian banks now own €400 billion, or a record amount of Italian sovereign paper, four times more than before the crisis. While this strategy worked miracles while everyone was behind Draghi, now that Italy has hit a dead end, and hope as a strategy has failed, the simple game theoretical question is: will he who sells first (again), sell best? The answer will depend on whether Italian banks can mangle accounting rules, and like the ECB pretend they have no Mark-To-Market concerns about bond prices.
If enough bonds were purchased and moved to "Held To Maturity" accounts, then perhaps a selling avalanche can be avoided. If not, then Mario Draghi's OMT is not only about to be tested, but once said test fails, the ECB president will be scrambling to come up with even bigger and more bombastic promises that all shall be well. Alas, since he already has gone "all in", one can see why things may be a little more different this time.
Finally, with hope no longer a strategy, perhaps none other than Italy's Prime Minister has shown what the only remaining "option" for Italy is. As Bloomberg reports, Letta, facing a collapsing government, spoke at a conference organized by a Christian charity group earlier today. During his speech, he got applause after asking audience to pray for Italy. He said "We will give it our all because we are hyperdetermined, but allow me to add that if you find yourself saying some prayer for Italy in these three days, it will certainly be useful to us."
And there you have it: when hope fails, there is still that one final fallback. Prayer.
