Riot Tabletop is the League Of Legends developer's new board game division
Riot Games have announced the opening of Riot Tabletop, a brand new tabletop division currently working on a brand new board game, Tellstones: King's Gambit. This isn't the developer's first foray into the world of tabletop gaming, but now they finally have a dedicated team to get to work on all things board games.
"We're gamers. That means more to us than just video games," Riot explain. "You can tell by the piles of board games, miniatures, and roleplaying books stashed around the office. So it was natural to explore what would happen if we brought the Riot perspective to tabletop games."
The very first Riot Tabletop-developed game, Tellstones, is a bluffing game for two to four players, which they say is "a Demacian variant of a game played across Runeterra". Both of these are places from League Of Legends, the latter of which you might recognise from the developer's upcoming CCG, Legends Of Runeterra, which is heading to open beta later this month.
Riot do have board game experience. In 2016, before they had any sort of formal tabletop division, they released Mechs vs. Minions, a co-op adventure about programming mechs to use in combat. It is, of course, based on League Of Legends.
"I don't know if we'll ever make another board game," Chris Cantrell told us at the time.
"I don't anticipate this being a part of our portfolio. I guess that could change but our goal was primarily to get this out to as many people as we could – as many League players to maybe be an introduction into modern board games, and then as many board game players as we could." Oh how the tabletops turn.
Compared to Mechs vs. Minions, Riot Tabletop say they're taking a different approach with Tellstones: King's Gambit, making it a smaller, faster, competitive experience. And for now, that's about the extent of what we know about this mysterious new tabletop game.
It's worth keeping an eye on their website if you want to keep up to date with Riot Tabletop's upcoming games, as they have said Tellstones is just "one of many" they're developing.
While you're waiting for more news on that one, now is as good a time as any to refresh your memory on the huge number of League Of Legends spin-offs Riot announced last year.

We understand that finding time to exercise in the festival rush can be tough but it's time you resume your workout routine. You can build muscle and lose weight all in the privacy of your home with the help of these quick and easy workout routines.
Upward and downward dog
The most basic yoga pose, these two exercises done in combination are perfect for your upper body, back, abdomen and legs. Make sure you keep your breaths even and hold each pose for at least three breathes for maximum benefit.
Steps: Lay down on your mat, legs should be long with a feeling of extension through the length of the toes and spread hips-width apart.
Slowly, with an inhale of breath, start gazing forward or slightly up. It is important to engage the rhomboid muscles (between the shoulder blades) to open the chest and protect the rotator cuff.
With the exhale of breath bring the body back to the resting pose of vinyasa (downward dog) — a standing pose with mild inversion that builds strength while stretching the whole body.
Tiger Pose
It warms and stretches the back muscles and spine and strengthens the core body and stimulates the nervous, lymphatic and reproductive system.
Steps: From table pose take the right foot up towards the ceiling with the knee bent and the spine gently arching. Staring at a point straight ahead, shift your weight into your right hand and carefully reach the left hand to hold onto the inside of the right ankle. With both arms straight, gently kick the right foot into the left arm to lift the leg higher. To release, exhale the arm and leg back down to the floor into table pose.
Alternate leg and arm rise
This is modified yoga pose that helps to tighten the core. It increases the strength of arms, shoulder and legs. Hold each side for at least five seconds.
Steps: Go over into the push-up position and place the hands below your shoulders the arms are angled a little to preserve the joints stretch out the legs backwards and lift the hips. Breathe out as you extend opposite arm, opposite leg and breathe in as you relax. Keep your head up and look forward. It also works on your neck and upper shoulder muscles.
Modified Side Plank
We all know the benefits of doing planks. This exercise is the number one core strengthening workout, isometrically it does wonders to the core and side abdominals. Try this side variation of plank that quickly helps to tone up the core and side abdominals.
Steps: Lie on one side with the knees on the floor bent at 90 degrees angle. Using the elbow, prop the hips up while balancing on the stacked knees. Make sure to keep the abs tight the entire time. The body should form a straight line from the knees to the shoulder.
Cross Lunges
Apart from the quad-building benefits you get from doing any variation of the lunge, the crossover targets the hamstrings and glutes extra hard while teaching your body balance and coordination. Therefore, it also helps in enhancing your ability to move in any sport-in case you were planning any crossovers of your own.
Steps: Stand with your feet shoulder-distance apart. Take a large step diagonally forward with your left foot, planting your foot at the 11 o'clock position. Sink down until your thighs form right angles. Extend your legs, lift your left knee and bring it in toward your chest, and lower your arms.
Be careful that your knee should never come over your ankle while lunging to avoid knee problems....

More than a year after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson admitted that saying the bank would not get a government bailout was a ploy in the negotiations over the failed institution.
Paulson spoke with CNBC Monday with the release of his new book on the financial crisis, "On the Brink: Inside the Race to Stop the Collapse of the Global Financial System."
Playing Chicken With the Bankers
Before Lehman's collapse in 2008, Paulson had told CNBC that there would be no government bailout. However, he said Monday that the statement was just part of the overall strategy to try and save the bank.
"That was a tactic ... If we had had a situation where we had a buyer that could've done that ... and there was a way that the Fed could have done something similar to Bear Stearns ... my judgement is we would have made the decision to do what we'd done with Bear Stearns, because Lehman — the system was so fragile that I may not have known that the results were going to be as disastrous as they were."
Blame Goes With Making Economic Policy
"It's not about fairness or unfairness. If you're a leader, and a strong leader, during a difficult time like a crisis, there's always going to be a little bit of flack. Those who are in the top economic jobs when the economy isn't doing well, regardless of what hands they've been dealt, are always going to draw a certain amount of controversy."
A 'Heated, Intense Moment' Over Barclays
"When I went down and met with the bankers afterwards and told them the deal [for Barclays to acquire Lehman] was dead, I told them 'the British screwed us' ... That's really pretty unfair when you look at how fragile their system was and the questions that they must have had about Barclays and capital-raising plans and risks that would have gone along with acquiring Lehman ... It was a heated, intense moment, and I hadn't had a lot of sleep, and I went from the brain to the mouth."
Allowing More Banks to Fail Would Have Been an 'Economic Disaster'
"Everything bad that could happen was happening … the regulators, we all felt that there was a real chance that Morgan Stanley might go down, and if they went down it could very well take down Goldman and the whole system. And of course what we cared about was then there'd be a meltdown, and what the impact would be on the American people. It just would have been an economic disaster."

I hate being sick. I bet you do, too.
When my throat hurts, it stops me from enjoying normal activities like eating, talking, and sleeping.
Happily, I found that the best essential oils for sore throats can help me feel better faster.
Today, I'll discuss the oils that are good for throat pain.
I'll cover the fastest way to cure a sore throat.
Plus, I'll share recipes for your diffuser and topical application.
Why use essential oils to soothe a sore throat?
Essential oils decrease inflammation and boost the immune system.
Some oils, like peppermint, reduce pain.
Many have the side effect of boosting mood.
All of these benefits improve your well-being.
How to use essential oils to treat a sore throat?
There are two recommended ways to use essential oils to soothe a sore throat.
One is with aromatherapy, or inhalation.
The second is to apply them topically to the skin once they've been diluted with a carrier oil.
Some people may recommend taking the oils internally.
You're likely to find recipes for homemade cough syrup online.
This is risky.


text: I N T E R N A T I O N A L WWW.INBROADCAST.COM | ISSUE 27 - JANUARY 2014 N E W S InGEAR Atomos Samurai Blade For 'Pop-Up' Filmmaker Clinton Harn serves music industry clients and creates video marketing content for corporate establishments. He has turned to Atomos for his recent project 'Pop-Up'... I 46 have been using Atomos products since the earliest incarnations of the Blade, better known as just the Samurai. I've used both the old and new units, as external or proxy recorders, in short films, music videos, and most recently, a feature film," Clinton explained. Clinton is currently shooting an Australian feature film 'Pop-Up', where three stories are interwoven about several people affected by a single event. In the first, an unemployed father finds a camera containing a photo of a woman's face. Smitten, he tracks her down. The second concerns a recently immigrated woman who attempts to overcome her homesickness by giving away home-made popup cards. The last story involves a sleep-deprived theatre director seeking deadly revenge on a scathing critic. The production company has just completed principal photography using the Blade to record HD proxies in ProRes straight out of the RED Scarlet. "Timecode synced like a charm and record trigger worked a treat with the RED," Clinton said. "The Blade was also rigged up by our camera department to serve as a monitor on a Steadicam sled, while recording HD proxies! "The Samurai Blade has handy features that make it an incredibly versatile piece of kit. My favourite aspects of the Blade would have to be the new and improved resolution of the screen, and the peaking, waveform and vectorscope parameters. The unit also allows me to record data while doubling as a director or camera assistant's monitor, or even a main monitor." Clinton added: "I shoot primarily high-end corporate work where clients want ProRes or high quality proxy files, and the Blade is so multifunctional and versatile, it allows you to overcome oversights on set. For example, if you forget, say, your monitor or an external recorder, the Blade covers both tasks admirably. More importantly, it's great that you can insert marker points into your footage within the unit. It's like 'trimming the fat', saving you Blade RED on the set of 'Pop-Up' time in post. "'Pop-Up' is being shot with a RED Scarlet camera package that enables me to shoot 4K RAW internally within the camera, while it simultaneously records HD ProRes files to the Blade. This allows me to give the director something more user-friendly. The high quality ProRes files can also be utilised to cut the film more efficiently, then be linked back later to the original RAW source files." Clinton concluded: "I love this unit. I couldn't do without it on set ever again. It's too good to leave out of your shooting arsenal." Frezzi SkyLight - Advanced LED Lighting For Productions A s you usually cannot shoot news and on-location productions in the dark and with the ever increasing need for a quick and cooperative lighting package of high output, reliability, power efficiency, lightweight and portable, Frezzi developed the SkyLight.

In its forecast for the present quarter,
While much is being made of the growth in digital revenues, we believe that the traditional console-and-PC business is being shortchanged, said analysts from FBR Capital Markets. Despite a 9% drop in packaged revenues in 2009, the gradual economic recovery coupled with releases from major software franchises should cushion EA's bottom line.
A more measured tone seems to be part of a new strategy from the maker of the bestselling Madden NFL Football franchise. CEO John Riccitiello admitted as much in a conference call discussing the company's latest earnings, saying EA "decided to be a little more conservative." In the past, EA frequently fell short of optimistic predictions.
EA reported a net loss of $82 million or 25 cents per share for its fiscal third-quarter--slimmer than its year ago loss of $641 million or $2.00 per share.
FBR's analysts went on to predict that the traditional videogame business would have a more successful year than expected, that "combined with growth in digital and mobile revenues and leaner cost structures, the group as a whole should outperform."
EA forecast earnings of between 5 cents and 23 cents per share for its fourth quarter and said its first quarter of fiscal 2011 could see a loss or profit of a nickel per share. The market was not too understanding of the firm's more cautious guidance, and shares plummeted Tuesday. EA lost 9.5% to $15.86.

Her solo exhibitions have been held in Jedburgh, Peeples, Selkirk and Dumfries, and her awards include the CABN/Creative Scotland Visual Artists Award, the Society of Scottish Artists Edinburgh Printmakers Research Award, the Edinburgh Lasercutting Studio Prize and the Angus Award for Landscape at the Royal Scottish Academy Student Exhibition. Her work has been featured in public and private collections including Standard Life, East and Midlothian Art Fund, Edinburgh College of Art, National Trust, Scottish Borders Council, Paintings in Hospitals Scotland and Flying Colours Gallery She lives and works in the Scottish Borders.
"Her work, which is influenced by specific landscapes, memory, poetry and music, has developed from direct painting of the landscape to a more sensory approach, creating visual environments using pigments, line, print and contemporary media.
Liz reflects her dialogue with the natural world and the element of unpredictability that exists. She also has a wish to explore these contradictions, using the visible and invisible element in the landscape as metaphor.
The research process she uses involves collaborating with scientists and environmentalists, deepening her knowledge of the natural world, and its contradictions. She investigates microscopic elements using a scanning electron microscope to reveal structures and forms from graptolite fossils, alpine plants, trees and plant pollen material."
While Liz's paintings are concerned with specific geographical locations (notably the Yarrow valley) these are not 'views' so much as personal responses to the places she has worked in, allowing a form of landscape that goes beyond topography.

Files for reproducing a battle box?
The Big E last edited by
Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone might have pics and or files that could be used to reproduce a battle box for A&A Guadalcanal.
I have seen some files here and on BGG for alternate methods of rolling dice, but I might just missing seeing where the actual battle box might be. I haven't done a full thorough search as of yet, so apologies if I have missed it.
I have an extra copy of Guadalcanal that is missing the battle box, and I would like to give it to a friend of mine(if he will be interested, I haven't asked him as of yet).
Thanks in advance for any help!

I can't help you reproduce it directly, but I think I can help you. You have a copy of the battle box, so you have a leg up. Scan the box, assemble the scans into a box shape, print (on a sheet of paperboard) and glue. As for the inside pull box, well, same thing. The following picture does include the important part - the lineup for the dice to see what gets hit. "All" you "have to do" is strip off the numbers from the top of the picture:
(Source: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/278630/axis-allies-guadalcanal)
So, nobody I know of has a ready-made solution. But, you can help yourself. I wish you luck.

Do you remember riding the bus to school? Did you have to take the bus to get around the city when you were a young adult, maybe rode it with your mother to the super market? Chances are you laughed, yelled, held hands with your crush and learned about life along the way. Maybe you only rode a bus for a school field trip but the theme remains, buses bring people together and when you want your closest people around you, there's no better choice.
Ride Back in time in a Vintage Bus
I've been in this industry a long time now and I have to say that restoring antique buses give me the greatest pleasure one could ask for and I'll tell you why.
The reaction people have to them! Everyone experiences them differently but all with the same wide smile and awe filled expression. Much like how you first experienced it thinking to yourself, "Man, That is one awesome ride" is how your guests will also feel.
For the grandparents and older generation who experienced these vintage buses in their prime, it brings back beautiful childhood memories of a time forgotten. They remember falling in love, meeting their friends, riding to the baseball game, spending time with people they admired and cared for.
For the younger generations, they get to see a blast from the past and experience it in a brand new way. Whether for a wedding transportation where love and happiness is in the air or at a sporting event where camaraderie is the theme, they will forever carry on the great memories and associate it with that unique bus ride experience.
Me and my family/teamates here at Low Country Valet get it, which is why we put so much effort into saving these pieces of history. It is our passion to provide this type of experience that is why we meticulous maintain our fleet which includes our eye-catching 1950's Crown Supercoach lineup, each being able to carry up to 60 passengers.
In addition to the Supercoach line up, we also feature a classic Greyhound Silverside from the '40s, a General Motors bus from the 50s and and a 45-passenger GM Bus from 1966, but that's not all! We've got plenty of amazing vintage car options available to suit your needs, ranging from the '40s to the '60s.
These stylish vehicles ensure a safe, comfortable ride, plus they allow you and your fellow passengers to really make a statement wherever you go!
Choose the Best Bus for You from Our Modern Fleet
You've seen them cruising down the highway, and you've probably noticed the passengers inside looking pretty content and comfortable: modern coach buses represent today's standard for transportation when lots of people are involved. These modern machines can fit dozens of passengers, making them perfect for trips to big parties or sporting events. They're even ideal for wedding transportation if you need to get a lot of people to the same place in safety and style.
Low Country Valet recognizes the appeal of these amazing motor coaches, and we have a full selection to choose from, including 32, 38, 49 and 54-passenger models.
We also have a modern 27-passenger executive limo coach available for those times when you don't want to stop entertaining just because you're on the road!

When Amy Roloff and Matt Roloff, of Little People Big World, decided to get a divorce, fans were saddened. But now, Amy is having a ball and has fully entered the dating scene. On the show, Amy starts dishing to her daughter about a guy named Chris that she was hanging out with and about how he invited her on a motorcycle ride. Tonight's official episode synopsis states that, "Amy gets cozy with Chris after a romantic date."
Amy's daughter Molly, who recently got engaged to her boyfriend Joel, chats with her mother and tells the cameras she thinks it's good that her mom is having a good time. Molly says that she and her brothers were concerned when their parents decided to pull the plug on their marriage. Molly explains:
I think we all worried a little bit about our parents going through a divorce like that and especially coming right as we're all moving out. That's already hard for parents. I'm glad my mom is getting out. I think that's good because it would be really easy to just kind of get stuck.
In an interview with People, Amy previously talked about dating in general and said:
I find the single life at my stage right now all brand new. I feel like I'm in high school again. Be adventurous. Take a chance.
In recent news, there has been no official word of Amy Roloff having a boyfriend, but you never know. We'll have to wait and see if she and Chris are in it for the long haul.

The end of the year always excites me beyond measure because I eat up the idea of having a clean slate and time to experience changes externally and internally. The first day of the year always feels like a breath of fresh air for the illusion that I am going to get my life together within the next twelve months, but this year, I have goals on goals on goals pouring in that is going to take hard work and passion to attain and celebrate when I do reach them. I think a lot of my goals are based on productivity and really building confidence and quality in all of my work. I do have some personal fitness and health goals, but I feel like those are more general goals that everyone tends to have, especially after I smashed a whole pumpkin pie to myself this Thanksgiving, so I have omitted those, but know that they're there and they're happening. It's one of my biggest goals to go back through all of my blog posts and improve and add to each one to make it better than before and to prepare them for reformatting *a little bit OCD has entered the chat*, so if you notice some changes happening, well, it's the new year and tons of changes are on their way, so buckle your seatbelts and let's dive into some blogging, travel, and personal goals for the new year.
Blogging Goals
Reach At Least 25,000+ Monthly Viewers
This goal doesn't feel out of reach or impossible to attain, but I know that it's going to come with some hard work and that's what I love most about it. I am already seeing consistent growth month by month for this space, but I plan on optimizing everything for web searches and things to where I am getting organic searches and expanding my reach and audiences. Reaching, or maybe even surpassing this goal, is going to be one of my biggest focuses this next year while maintaining a trusting and loyal relationship with my readers. I would be thankful for even 5,000, so to reach over 25,000 people would end in tears of utter joy and a celebratory pan of walnut brownies.
Reach 1,000 Followers On Instagram
I have yet to perfect the art of growing a following on social media, but I am certain that going MIA every couple months and coming back is not doing me any favors. I don't shoot photos as much as I would like to while I am home, so I want to start getting out there and really getting creative with my surroundings at home. Recently, I have been making it a point to share more about my life through my Instagram stories to make up for lack of photos, but I really want to share more of my art and see what I can create to share with all of you that I don't put on this space. So I'll just pop in a shameless plug right now and say my Instagram handle is @aarenprody if you want to follow my adventures and day-to-day life.
Work My First Brand/Paid Partnership
I am equally nervous and stoked for an opportunity like this. Whether it's big or small, I want to partner up with a brand that promotes sustainability and ethics as much as I do. Some of the brands on my list are PACIFICA Beauty, Raw Elements, SkyRoam, LifeProof, Xero Shoes, as well as Tourism Boards, and Swimwear Companies. I am not expecting to get every single one of these, especially being a newer blogger, but if I can land at least one next year, I will be just as excited as if I landed three of them. I am working to put together a media kit and various other things for pitching, so it's for sure in the works and something that I have been thinking about for a while now.
Reach My Ad Payout Minimum + Maximize Revenue Streams
This is one of my financial goals for the new year and hopefully, this hundred-dollar check will be dancing it's way to my bank account next year. Google Ads aren't necessarily the greatest income stream to fall on, but really what the underlying goal here is to keep people on my website longer to browse and scroll through my guides and other posts. I have read about other travel bloggers that have been making thousands of dollars off ad revenue and affiliate sales alone, so you already know those are the courses I am going to be diving into ASAP to help me expand mine.
Beat My Daily Viewing Record
This is a bit tricky for me since the first few months of this blog being live was essentially just me clicking through it over and over again to make sure everything looked nice; a little bit of OCD at it's finest lol. However, April 3rd comes in for the day that my blog was viewed over 150 times, and this also happened to be the day that I shared my whale shark excursion with my family and friends on Facebook. I was surprised at how many people were curious about it and it really filled me with joy to see that people enjoyed my content and my adventures, so I am aiming to publish a record-breaking story next year.
One Blog Post On Google Page One
Whenever I maximize my SEO potential, that is where I am going to flourish in the google search results department. I feel like I have a good rough outline of what SEO is and how it works, but application wise I am riding the struggle bus. When I achieve this, it's going to be a huge game changer regarding traffic and audience expansion, so it's really something that I am going to be looking forward to. If I can get it to the first couple search results, that would be the bee's knees, but I would honestly be stoked for any number result on page one.
Organize + Optimize My Site
Although this is probably the most mundane and lame goal out of this entire list, it's the one that I am questionably the most excited for? There is something about nitty-gritty details that I just eat right up, and so to have the entire foundation of my blog be set up for success would be like having a weight lifted off my shoulders. I am looking at courses and resources to guide me in this extravaganza that is travel blogging because this girl doesn't know squat about a lot of it and it's the backbone to having a website so it's actually really important and that's why I am eager to invest in them.
Plan My Work Days & Stick To Them
I was watching a video by Sorelle Amore on Youtube about how she lived like Casey Neistat for a week. So, pretty much waking up at four to maximize her productivity and work/life balance. Now, this girl isn't about to start waking up at the buttcrack of dawn, but she is going to start getting up early and get shit done. There have been so many mornings that I have slept in too late and missed hours of work and still had the audacity to wonder why I still had so many things on my to-do list at the end of the day. The days of being an unproductive bump on a log are behind me!
Travel Goals
Mo'orea, you have stolen my heart these last couple of months with your secluded nature, crystal clear water, and endless rainforest coating your island. French Polynesia was always on my radar for later on in life when I muster up the wad of cash that I would need to go here, but I have found crazy deals that you guys wouldn't believe. There is no question that the pull I feel to travel here and the low-cost deals, I feel, have gone hand in hand just for me; perhaps we'll see each other soon?
This photo has been one of my biggest inspirations to get out and explore my home country in the next year. Believe it or not, I have never been legit camping a day in my life and I am dying to get out there in the rugged landscape and find peace in the stillness of the desert. I never knew that Utah was this beautiful until I saw endless photos of it circulating Instagram this year causing it to bump to one of the top spots on my bucket list. I can't wait to plan this trip next year.
Another state that takes my breath away; Arizona. Sometimes I can't believe that I have flown across the Pacific multiple times and not been two states over to land on Mars. I could easily spend days and weeks here exploring all the nooks and hidden spots that are nestled between red rock formations. The grand canyon absolutely fascinates me as well, so to be able to witness something unlike anything I have ever seen, on top of one of the greatest landmarks in the United States; priceless.
This is a huge promise I am making myself this year and it's to not let 2019 pass by without traveling to Iceland. I followed this photographer above on Instagram in the last half of this year and she has fueled this overwhelming sense of wanderlust for this place that I cannot explain. Stepping away from my cheap, Southeast Asia prices are going to be tough, but I have no doubt that it will easily become one of my favorite countries. Iceland, I'm coming for you and your epic volcanic landscapes.
On a real note, how have I not been to mainland Japan yet? Japan is hands down one of my most cherished countries and I need to make it out there this year. Tokyo has always been a must for me, and I would love to backpack out here for a few months and get lost in bamboo, tea breaks, and ramen. There is a huge smile on my face typing this right now as I can't contain my excitement for this place. I have no doubt that it has some of the best food in the world, and I have been ready to set out here for ages.
I truly believe that Hawaii is in its own little piece of the world, with all things moving slowly. My best friend is actually going here for Christmas, so you already know I am going to be living through her until I get my butt out there to Kuaui and Oahu. I will have an endless fruit supply, and apparently going shoeless at the grocery store is socially acceptable, so I already know I am going to fit right in when I arrive. I am even hoping to conquer one of my biggest fears while I am there…
This country is actually fairly new to my radar, and by new, I mean literally in the last couple days and it's solely because of this palm forest pictured above. South America has intrigued me from the moment I learned about it in middle school, and I think it would be good for me to completely exit my comfort zone and travel to a new spot in the world that I have always wondered about because I know that's where I'll find the biggest amount of growth in myself. I wonder what I'll learn here.
Bali / Lombok
Bali round two, anyone? Since my computer broke upon my return from the Philippines, I lost 99% of my photos from Bali. If you have been following my journey, you also know that I had to leave here a few weeks early from a scooter accident in the mountains which caused me to miss out on a lot of the things that I was looking forward to; hiking mt. rinjani, swimming with manta rays, island hopping, and this waterfall pictured above. I might be planning a little girl's summer getaway here..
Personal Goals
Maintain A Self Care Routine
Nothing makes me feel quite like I have my life together than having freshly shaven legs, a face mask applied, and a running bubble bath waiting for me to dip into. So, how many times did I do that in 2018? Zero; I wish I was kidding about this one. While I did sporadically do a bentonite clay face mask and shave my legs when needed, I never gave myself a day to just relax and unwind, especially since August. With all of the events, classes, investments, and opportunities I have had to improve myself and my business in the last year, I have drowned in overworking myself for honestly no reason at all. I found myself working all day rather than grinding it out for a span of time and leaving time for my relationship and other things that matter to me. I stopped meditating in the morning since I had lost time due to waking up late. I would work late into the night to make up for the time I lost that morning, etc., etc.. I also never gave myself a day where I wasn't working on my blog, which actually blew my mind. I was telling myself that if I wasn't constantly working on something then I wasn't putting enough effort in and many other things, but now I realize that isn't healthy for myself or my passion, so I am going to start taking one to two days off where I binge watch Netflix, make some chocolate chip pancakes, and enjoy that bubble bath. 2019 is going to be the year where I get my shit together, discipline myself to get up early and start checking things off my to-do list. I have been telling myself I am going to start waking up early and fix my sleep schedule since April… and it's currently December. I am starting to do this now since it takes at least a month to form a habit, and while I am still pressing snooze too many times, I am on my way there, and that's all that matters.
Yoga, Meditate, + Journal Every Morning
There was probably a week or two this year that I actually stuck to this dream of mine, and you guessed it, it was when I was waking up early for those brief moments in time. Journaling, meditating, and yoga are the things that help me ground myself and I really do feel like I am in an entirely different headspace when I am not doing these things; I'm kind of like a hiker with no map without them. There have been a few months now that I have passed over the full and new moons with empty moon journals because I neglected to set aside the time to fill them out and reflect. Why you may ask? Refer to the previous goal where I explained how I overworked myself and woke up late each morning. It sort of becomes like a domino effect in my life and it all starts with how and when I wake up in the morning, so I know that will be the greatest change for me this year. I asked Santa for a new yoga mat, bolster, and towel for Christmas, so I am going to start this new year with a fresh mat and the drive to show up on it each morning. I also brought home the book, "The Heart Of Yoga: Developing A Personal Practice" with me from one of my last visits back home, and I am hoping to learn more about it as I grow through my journey with yoga over the next year. I am really hoping to fill up the three journals that I have lying around by the end of the year and hopefully bring a new one into my life. As for meditation, I want to continue with some of my favorite guided meditations until I can achieve the art of clearing my mind. These are the things that help me stay inspired and motiaved, so I am stoked to see what I can accomplish with the correct headspace. I always consider these things to be a large part of my life, but they are the things that I have neglected the most, so I am really looking forward to starting with a clean slate and enjoying my mornings this way.
Finish Twelve Books
I know all of y'all are laughing at me right now, considering I have finished two books in the last year despite my efforts for more, but hear me out on this one, this is going to happen. I have over forty books that I have yet to read and I told myself that I wouldn't buy another until I read and pass on my other ones. I loved reading as a kid so much that you could hardly pull me away from them, but now that I have become a bit busier and more invested online, I don't read as much as I would like to. There is so much about astrology and the mind that I am eager to learn about, and I have resources at the tips of my fingertips. Now all I have to do is reach out and pick them up. The two books that I am the most excited to read in the new year are The Universe In A Single Atom and Women Who Run With The Wolves.
Build Confidence In My Work
So, in the last year, I've been dealing with a little thing called perfectionism. I feel like nothing has ever been "good enough" for myself and I am always questioning whether I put enough time into my work. If I didn't work on it long enough, it's not good enough. If I finish it the same day I posted it, it's not good enough. The list goes on. I have had plenty of people tell me that they adore my writing and it's something that I am trying to come to terms with, or at least affirm to myself. I believe in myself and this journey, but sometimes I feel like I am under constant attack on myself. I am always aiming for something better, which isn't a bad thing overall, but it's dropped my confidence a lot and that's something that will change and is changing as I write this.
Work Towards Zero/Little Waste
Zero waste fascinates me in the way that some people can come up with the coolest ideas for repurposing food, items, and avoiding waste altogether. I wouldn't say that I contribute a ton to the plastic issue, but I know that I contribute some and I want to make some changes. I avoid plastic for my produce at the grocery store since I have purchased my own produce bags, and I want to purchase in bulk as much as possible and put them in larger, glass containers rather than the little plastic bins that I normally do. I am far from perfect when it comes to making little waste, but I already do a lot and I know that there is still so much I can do to help out the planet. I even want to make a small compost bin that I can toss my organic scraps into and hopefully *fingers crossed* start growing my own herbs!
Push Myself Creatively
Probably the biggest and most notable goal that I have for the new year is to go beyond my comfort zone and find my own style. For someone that is always changing their mind, (I could win an Olympic gold medal in indecisiveness), I really want to buckle down and find who I am through a photo and design perspective. One of the biggest things that I have battled this year would be that of comparison and that can truly ruin self-confidence and drive for your passion. I'm not like everyone else, yet sometimes I don't feel like I am set apart visually. What sets my information apart from everyone else's? What sets my photos apart from everyone else's? I have this hunger to discover myself and what I am capable of and I really want to soar beyond what I thought was possible for myself. So prepare for some new, updated, design-constant, and very "on-brand" content.
What goals are you going to smash in the new year? Share with me in the comments below!

At a time that some industry people and people outside it are thinking some modus operandi are out of operation, a few artistes, especially gospel artistes are still falling foul to some little traps. Traps that have small cash value like Ghc.1500 which seems demeaning and unproductive to their career.
Well, if such people would want to be described as unscrupulous per their activities, journalists are always on the look out to expose such nefarious characters perpetrated by people in the industry. This is where Flex newspaper comes to expose those who need to be exposed and to promote those who need to be promoted. Now the story in detail:
Popular sound and recording engineer Roland Ackah aka Roro is not happy with gospel artiste Ernest Opoku and he will be heading to the police station soon to make sure Ernest will be arrested the moment he touches down at the Kotoka International Airport. Knowing very well the background of these two in the gospel arena, it comes as a shocking revelation to know that there is a bad blood running through them.
The story is such that Roro of Rockah House of Music contracted Ernest Opoku to perform for an All night service (watch night) at Apostolic Faith Mission headed by man of God Apostle De-Graft Osei Kwame located close to Sakaman Junction in Dansoman. When the agreement was reached, Ernest Opoku agreed to a fee of Ghc. 1500 with a notice that half of the money should be paid to him and his management. The full payment was to be made on the Last Friday in July which happened to be the day of the watch night service.
Therefore on the Tuesday in the fateful concert week, a check up call was put through Ernest Opoku to ascertain his well being only to be told by somebody who answered his (Ernest) call that Ernest Opoku had been involved in a motor accident somewhere in Nkawkaw. To show solidarity and concern towards the injured or wounded artiste, Roro decided to know where he had been admitted so he could visit him but the person told Roro he does not know where he had been admitted. Frequent calls to Ernest Opoku`s phone later, was responded by a switched off voice prompt.
At this point, Roro was alerted that something seems to be going wrong with their arrangement and he started ringing all his alarm bells. He called the manager who had been dealing with him on the agreement of the performance. The manager who is at large according to reports also told Roro that he had been trying to reach Ernest Opoku at that same time but he could not reach him so he (Roro) could come for the second instalment of Ghc. 500 which was given to the manager. The manager`s name was given as Enoch and all attempts to get his side of the story have proved futile since he is not answering our calls.
According to Roro, colleague sound engineer K.D who is based in Kumasi called to inform him that Ernest has traveled to Italy so he should forget about his coming for the show in Accra on the said date. Roro nearly wept because time was close and his name and images have been used on posters and announcements in publicizing the show so his refusal to attend the show will mean a huge disgrace to him as the sponsor of the main music and performance segment.
?I was saved by O.J on the night who had to come in at the last hour to salvage the situation at hand. Our legal team in the church were planning to take him on but I have apologized on his behalf that they should hold on with the law suit. What we intend to do is to report the matter to the police and make sure he is arrested upon arrival at the Kotoka International Airport to retrieve our money from him. Ernest Opoku lied to me that he was involved in an accident and bolted to Italy. I have received several calls from people telling me he has treated them same and that he is fond of such behaviour. I will make sure this will be his last stop for doing things of that nature to people when they engage him in any business? Roro told Flex newspaper on phone last Monday.

Megan Nathanson, a 2016 graduate of Scarborough High who is coming off a women's singles victory in the Maine Tennis Association Open earlier this month, wasn't planning to play in this weekend's 28th edition of the Betty Blakeman Memorial.
It's not that Nathanson doesn't enjoy the state's biggest tournament; quite the contrary.
"The vibe is really cool," she said. "It's a really big tournament for a special cause but also a very competitive tournament."
Nathanson is the tournament's first intern, working under the auspices of Cancer Community Center of South Portland. Last year the tournament raised $20,000 for the Center, which is in the process of merging with the Dempsey Center in Lewiston.
Since its inception, the tournament has raised more than $250,000 for non-profits related to cancer treatment, research and care. Eric Blakeman, son of the tournament namesake, said this year's event already surpassed $21,000.
Nathanson is a sport management major at Nichols College in Massachusetts, where she played second and third singles this spring on a team that won the Commonwealth Coast championship and the school's first victory in the NCAA tournament. The Bison finished 17-4.
"I wanted to get a feel for tournament planning," Nathanson said, "to see if it's something I want to do in the future."
"She's playing very well," said Don Atkinson, longtime director of the Blakeman, who will help Nathanson learn the finer points of running a tournament.
Atkinson gave Nathanson the go-ahead to play in the women's singles between her duties as intern. Her father, Jeff, is in the men's 55-plus bracket. She will spend a portion of Thursday putting up signs in Yarmouth, Falmouth and Cumberland, directing players to some of the 18 courts in five locations.
As of late Wednesday afternoon, Atkinson reported a men's open field of 80 and a women's singles field of 13. Defending women's champion Olivia Leavitt of Falmouth is back as the top seed. Eliot Potvin, who won last year's men's title, won't play because of an injury. That makes the 2016 finalist, Dana Parziale, who teaches with Potvin at The Racket & Fitness Center in Portland, as the top seed.
"This year we have a huge influx of out-of-state collegiate players," said Atkinson. "About half the seeds are going to be from out of state."
Play is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. Friday with finals for men's and women's singles tentatively set for 11:30 a.m. Sunday at Yarmouth High's newly reconstructed courts. Work that began in October on asphalt and fencing finally wrapped up July 7 with colors of blue and green, and lines for both tennis (white) and pickleball (light blue) on the four high school courts.
"Because of the cold, rainy temperatures in May, we couldn't even get painting started until the end of June," said Karyn MacNeill, director of Yarmouth Community Services. "This has been a project scheduled for a few years. We are happy to have them completed and just in time for the Blakeman tourney."
