A leading private girls school is being fiercely criticised for holding an 'Austerity Day' lunch, where students ate what some commenters have said is a "standard state school dinner".
St Paul's Girls' School in Hammersmith tweeted about the buffet, where students and staff were offered baked potatoes, beans and coleslaw on Wednesday, announcing that the "money saved" by the menu would be donated to charity.
Accompanying the images of the food was a poster advertising the event, featuring a picture of a fine-dining waiter displaying a silver plate with three peas on it.
Henna Shah, a former student at the school which charges new entrants almost £8,000 a term, shared the post on Thursday asking, "Are you joking?".
St Paul's deleted the original tweet, however it circulated widely on Twitter on Friday after Shah shared it again, having screen-grabbed the original.
St Paul's has been approached for comment, but is yet to issue one. The school's communications manager replied to a request by asking: "Where did you see it?".
In subsequent Twitter posts, Shah wrote: "The three peas on a silver platter really makes it".
She also wrote: "My old school's idea of a charity lunch? I highly recommend you rethink this – contrary to popular belief not all your students and alumnae feast on foie gras every meal."
"How offensive do you have to be? This is not austerity. If you want to know what real austerity looks like, maybe read @Bootstrapcook or speak to one of your bursary students who you seem to erase out of existence."
The sentiment was echoed across social media.
Shah, an editorial assistant, told HuffPost on Friday that she was "incredibly grateful" for being able to attend St Paul's Girls' School as it had given her "opportunities someone like me would never have had otherwise".
"I recognise that few people like me get the chance to have an education like this on a bursary scheme like I did," she said.
The 24-year-old said she highlighted the school's Austerity Day fundraiser because "everyone deserves the best quality education".
"It is upsetting to see that on a day that is meant to be about compassion, the way it was presented showed utter contempt.
"Austerity is not about eating jacket potatoes once a term, it is about not being able to afford anything else," she said.

Kobe Bryant was in a joking mood before the Lakers played Memphis.
"I'm feeling good. I'll be back playing tomorrow," he said Friday as he walked away from reporters surrounding his locker.
Then he added, "I'm kidding."
Bryant hasn't spoken in-depth to reporters in more than a week, but he's not on pace for a happy Thanksgiving, at least in the basketball sense.
"He hasn't got any practice yet, so it would be tough," Lakers Coach Mike D'Antoni said.
Not that Bryant needed a ton of practice, but he was barely even shooting as of Friday, doing some light perimeter work that appeared to have evolved mildly from the set-shot style he had been adopting.
"He's progressing," D'Antoni said. "I think he's on the court a little bit now, taking shots and stuff. He keeps getting better."

NUPTIALS at St. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL ..........
27 comments:
Lady Magnon and I could have been married there, for much the same reason. Instead we plumped for Gibraltar; very quiet, just as we wanted it. The city's livery halls are amazing. Unless you go inside you have no idea what splendours are behind those big doors. I've not been to The Banking Hall, but I've been to plenty of others, during 'the season' (back in the mid-60's).ReplyDeleteReplies
I think that my sister and I could have been married there but, we didn't want to !!! We have been in a few of the city's livery halls ... Fishmongers Hall, Drapers Hall ...... we had tours around them and, as you say Cro, they are amazing. XXXXDelete
You are lucky to still attend weddings; I haven't been to a wedding in ages...ReplyDelete
You've trimmed your hair a little shorter? Love your hat; it is a very English tradition as we do not wear hats here to weddings. I think wearing hats to a wedding is pretty and very stylish!

We did Elizabeth ...... what's not to love !!!!!! XXXXDelete
We just got back from a whirlwind trip to West Yorkshire, Southport (where we attended a wedding) and then to London to drop off our friends daughter at the Royal Veterinary College. Had a fabulous time and I too wore a hat to the wedding - which I loved as that is not a tradition here. Your wedding sounded fabulous and your hat is gorgeous! xxooReplyDelete
Oh Jackie you've reminded me of the wonderful day when my friend got married in St Paul's. So many memories for women my age (I'm 56, so the same age the Lady Di would have been). After work on the eve of the wedding (I was at university so this was a summer job) a crowd of us ended up outside St Paul's where workmen were battening down the red carpet. The atmosphere was magical, it never seemed to get dark and I didn't get home until the early hours. I watched the wedding on TV and all I could think was rather you than me. Sadly my friend is no longer married. I was married in Guildford Register office 25 years ago. I adore the Livery Halls too. In my wine and spirit days (1983-87) we used to hold an awards ceremony in Goldsmiths Hall every year. I can remember for my first one wearing an electric blue wool crepe dress (Liberty fabric, Vogue pattern, hand made by me - I used to do a lot of dressmaking back in the day and although my mum was always on hand to help I remember for this dress my flatmate who worked in the wig and hat dept of the Royal Opera House helped with shoulder pad placement and hemming!) with a square of Liberty patterned wool thown over my shoulder and electric blue shoes from Bertie in Covent Garden. All the girls were sent to Harrod's long hair salon to have our hair done - I had a French plait! I love how your blog post brings back so many great memories and hope you don't mind me sharing.ReplyDelete
What a great blog is this!MyFirstSavingReplyDelete
i really likes your blog!ReplyDelete
You have shared the whole concept really well and very beautifully soulful read! thanks for sharing.
I'am glad to read the whole content of this blog and am very excited,Thank you for sharing good topic.ReplyDelete

True American Patriots Would Close All Accounts At Major BanksOctober 31, 2011
Want to know what you can do to help the Occupy Wall Street movement if you don't have a local organization or you are just afraid to get involved in the demonstrations? Close all of your bank accounts with any major bank like Chase, JP Morgan, Bank of America, AIG, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo or whichever other criminals I omitted. All of these banks are evil. I won't cover again how the Federal Reserve prints money out of thin air and then charges us interest on that debt that they pocket because if you don't get that by now you need to watch some documentaries by Aaron Russo or my buddy Lee Roger's "Power of the Purse". His show is M-F on Oraclebroadcasting.com from 10pm EST to 1am EST. Sometimes he runs a rebroadcast because he has a corporate IT slave job like me. That shit just drains you.
Anyway I used to work for Bank of America so I can tell you for a fact that the whole shebang is just one con after another. You are literally begging to lose all of your money if you leave it in there or have any investments with them or any other major bank. You have to go local and just find a reputable credit union or small reputable bank. The big banks will go after credit unions and smaller banks once enough people start relocating their assets but this will send a strong signal that people are ready to unplug themselves from this corrupt system. If you leave your money with the big banks……it's gone. Boom……..it's that simple. I'm telling you move it and move it NOW!!!!!!
The other thing is that credit unions and smaller banks often benefit the local community. Their rates are generally better and their fees are considerably lower. I know I know…..there's no ATM on every corner. So what? Take out what you need when you can. Plan ahead. Get free cash advances at the grocery store. There are also fee-free ATMs if you check the their web sites. It takes a little getting used to but in the end you will save money and let the bankster criminal who have commandeered this government that it will not be as easy as they thought.

#Resilience Chat with Crystal Middle School Students, 10/28/16
Had a fantastic opportunity to share some thoughts about #resilience with some of our students at Crystal Middle School.
Some of the audio quality is not the best here, however I think that some of the video segments are pretty good examples of connecting to students, and that I was able to connect with them about what #resilience is all about.
I presented them with the concept that adversity comes in all shapes and sizes, and that I believe that if they have more #assets in their control that they will be better able to get through any roadblock that gets in their way.
I targeted four areas of development: #academic focus, #value development, social #competence, and #self-#empowerment as ways to build their personal #resilience skills.
I am hoping to hone this type of presentation, and I seek to reach more and more of our students, and possibly students across the states.
Let me know what you think.
Dr. Rob Martinez is the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources for the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District, and is known as @ResiliencyGuy on twitter, and throughout northern California. He is focusing more and more on sharing his knowledge on #resilience development with both #educators, #Students, and our broader educational communities.

After the fun part of collecting data, it is time to transcribe the interviews before I could start any data analysis. I never knew that I dread transcribing to the point that I simply hate it, like no kidding. It is that bad. Probably because it feels funny to listen to my own voice. Besides, it is frustrating to keep rewinding in order to capture some words and understand the context correctly. Obviously, I understood the conversation during the interview, but for some reasons, it sometimes sounds unclear over the recording.
I am guilty of procrastination. I would find something else to do, as long as I don't have to transcribe. But then it also means I am not progressing towards completing my study. Deep down, I know damn well that the interviews have to be transcribed eventually. I had also underestimated how time-consuming transcribing is. In short, I just have to do it, no matter how much I do not feel like doing it, or no matter how long it will take.
When I read about the Pomodoro technique, I became intrigued to see if it would help me to just start and keep transcribing until I finish it. Pomodoro is, simply put, working 25-minute on a task, uninterrupted. So set the alarm for 25 minutes and spend the entire pomodoro time on the task you set out to do until the 25 minutes is up. Then take a 5-minute break before another round of pomodoro. After completing four pomodoros, it is time for a longer 20- to 30-minute break.
Professionally, a one-hour interview takes between 4-9 hours to transcribe. Of course, how long it takes depend on many factors like the number of speakers and audio quality. In my interviews, there were at least 3 speakers, and sometimes up to 7 speakers. Therefore it takes multiple attempts to listen to the recording over and over, especially when everyone was talking at the same time. Still, I wanted to know roughly how longer it will take me to finish transcribing all my interviews. One month? Two months? So I started to time myself. I tried the Pomodoro technique. Surprisingly, I didn't want to stop even though 25 minutes was up. But I still took a break, which often ended up being more than 5 minutes. I did it for a few times, but later decided to push one pomodoro to over 25 minutes.
Now, on average I can transcribe about 40 plus minutes before taking a break. The longest time I managed to stay put was 102 minutes. But it happened only once, more like a marathon final sprint to just finish the last part of the recording. So I need 14-20 minutes to transcribe a 1-min interview, which means to complete a one-hour interview, it will take between 13-21 hours over 1-5 days with plenty of breaks in between. So instead of setting 25-minutes for one pomodoro, I set a goal to complete two minutes of interview every pomodoro, even if it takes more than 25 minutes. Once I complete two minutes of interview, I try to push further before taking a break because once I take a break, it is never 5 minutes, ever.
My transcribing productivity is far behind the professional standard, but I am slowly, slowly progressing towards completion. Perhaps and hopefully with practice, transcribing gets easier and faster. As for now, just keep on transcribing. One pomodoro, two pomodoros, three pomodoros…until I finish them all.

It's one of the most joked about parenting tropes. And sadly, that's because it's true. Your once fulfilling sex life won't stop entirely once you have kids (fingers crossed!) but it definitely changes. If only temporarily.
That's because even the most dedicated-to-the-deed couples will have slumps after becoming parents. When you never sleep, have a person all over your boobs all day and are constantly coming into contact with someone else's poop, it can be hard to get in the mood. And that's where the funny parents of Twitter swoop in to make you laugh about the sad situation that is sex after kids.
1. That one time tho…dayum.
People think being a dad is just wearing cargo shorts and making lame jokes but you also got to have sex at least once and that was cool.
— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) July 26, 2016
It removes all doubt of your bedroom prowess. At least that one time.
2. There are many levels of pleasure.
Hubs: Kids are still asleep! Know what that means?
Me: We have to be quick!
*Runs to the hidden box of Cocoa Puffs and pours 2 big bowls*
— Cray at Home Ma (@cray_at_home_ma) March 20, 2016
Parenting means that eating the chocolate cereal in peace is akin to an earth-shaking orgasm.
3. 'Yonce, you're our only hope.
If Beyoncè really wanted women to feel empowered she'd write a song about being too tired for sex.
— Sweatpants Cher (@House_Feminist) January 29, 2014
Maybe we aren't always Drunk in Love, guys. Sometimes, we just want to be left the hell alone.
4. The ultimate Hail, Mary.
Having sex when you're a parent is like trying to shoot from half court with 3 seconds left on the clock.
— Graceful AF (@graceful_asfuck) March 22, 2016
Hurry up and score with all kinds of noise and distraction but like, no pressure!

Since the Korean academic calendar goes from March to March, the students at ECC are all about to move up a grade. Most students seem excited because in Korea age is a big deal; the older you are, the more respect you get. Nowhere is this mindset more apparent than with the kindergarten kids. They are about to go to elementary school and based off their discussions I discovered the process of getting into a good elementary school in Seoul is a lot like getting into a good college back home. First they apply, then they take tests, then they get accepted, waitlisted, or rejected. Apparently there are a lot of politics that goes into the admissions process, including bribes and grandfathering in less deserving students based on family ties with older siblings. When the students all found out which school they would be attending, they either shared their good news with the class or sulked and looked for sympathy because they didn't get accepted to the school their parents wanted them to go.
This intense time in the life of a Korean kindergartener came right as their graduation ceremony approached. I didn't have a kindergarten graduation. I didn't have an elementary school or middle school graduation either. My first graduation came when I was 18 and finishing high school. To say that my high school graduation and this kindergarten graduation were similar would be like saying North and South Korea are similar just because they both have the word Korea in their names. This kindergarten graduation was more like a variety show put together for the parents who wanted one last photo op before their babies were no longer babies. Each of the five classes performed a play and sang songs. Mercury, the class I teach, acted out "The Ant and the Grasshopper," that story about hardworking ants and a playful grasshopper that is supposed to teach kids to work hard so they don't die of starvation come winter.
After the play, Mercury class did a rendition of Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl." Why? Your guess is probably as good as mine. The kids had been singing that song in class while they were doing their workbooks for the past month or so but I didn't know it was for graduation. I just thought they learned random American songs from commercials or something else playing on TV. They knew all the words and even had choreography. I'm beginning to think Mercury might have a few students become new members of NSYNC and the Spice Girls.

Start them Young: Proper Oral Care for Children
Some orthodontic problems are easier to solve if they're detected early as opposed to working on them at a later age. Many parents are unaware of the difference between first phase or early treatment and regular orthodontic treatment. As a rule, children should first see an orthodontist by the age of seven. Then, the dentist will evaluate if there's any dental work that needs to be done.
Early treatment, also known as first phase treatment, typically occurs around the age of eight to nine years old. According to expert emergency dentists, the objective of early treatment is to correct any abnormal growth of the jaw and certain bite conditions like crossbite and underbite. It also provides the mouth with enough space for permanent teeth to come out properly and have lesser chances of complicated tooth extractions later on. To understand more of the benefits, here's a brief discussion from Dr. Ivan Marx Incorporated:
Candidates for Early Treatment
• Baby teeth loss (early or late) – Usually, kids should begin losing baby teeth around the age of 5 and will have all their permanent teeth erupted by thirteen years old.
• Presence of chewing or biting difficulties
• Continuous thumb-sucking beyond the age of 5
• Presence of protruding teeth as evidenced by top and bottom teeth extending away from one another
• Teeth fail to come together in a typical manner
• Presence of crossbite or shifting of the jaw when the child opens his or her mouth
• Presence of crowded teeth around age seven or eight years old
Benefits of Early Treatment:
• Improved prognosis regarding the growth of permanent teeth
• Gain the ability to correct habits that can be the cause of development issues such as persistent thumb sucking or tongue pushing
• Bite problem corrections
• The ability to guide the growth of the jaw properly to accommodate emerging permanent teeth
• Minimizing the risk of damage to protruding teeth
• Better teeth arrangement
• Prevention of more invasive dental correction procedures in the future
• Better self-esteem and confidence in the child
There are many benefits to having an orthodontist or emergency dentist see your child at a young age. With early detection, you can prevent more complicated problems in the future.
Defying Boundaries: The Benefits of Online Accountants
Hiring online accountants have become beneficial for small businesses in need of saving substantial costs and time compared to high street accountants. Over the last few years, the retail industry has gone largely online, allowing online accountants to grow in number, too.
The key benefit derived from an online accountant is savings on cost. They can be leveraged across several accounts and subsequently eliminate the requirement for personal calls and client visitations. This means that one accountant can do more within the given span of time. Again, this means lower costs per client, the benefit of which can be passed on to the owner of the business.
But keep in mind that cost saving is not the only benefit you can expect from an online accountant. There are complicated laws and regulations regarding business finances, especially in terms of HMRC that clearly stipulate certain protocols that business owners must follow. As any business requires preparation of final accounts at the end of the year and file tax returns, an online accountant can do it for you for a more reasonable fee than a high street accountant.
By using an online accounting system, you also save considerable time. Your accounts submissions are all done online, which means you spend less time on endless paperwork, filling out countless forms and posting them. By submitting all your data online, you get instant receipt; thereby, avoiding penalty charges for late submissions imposed by various government departments.
Moreover, the process of online accounting eliminates geographic boundaries. While working with a high street accountant, you need to choose one who is close to your business for ease of onsite audit. With an online accountant, you can choose the firm that best suits your business's needs anywhere in the world.
Finally, once you have found the right online accountant, you can stick with him for as long as you want. It works as a perfectly symbiotic relationship based on mutual respect and trust.
Kings and Queens on a Budget: Finding Quality Jewelry Items Without Overspending
Some of the world's most famous jewelers, especially diamond merchants, work in New York. In fact, the city's Diamond District is considered one of the world's primary centers of the global diamond industry. About 90% of all diamonds coming into America make their entry through this shopping area. As one of the biggest shopping zones for diamond and other intricate jewelry pieces, the concentration of sellers is an indication of competitive prices and quality. The most reliable jewelers and the richest buyers flock the area for the best jewelry selling and shopping experience.
But quality jewelry pieces aren't only for the rich. People with limited budgets can still find items of superb quality without spending too much.
• Start your search by looking at available lists of reliable jewelers in the city through the Internet. Many online shops offer an extensive list of high quality jewelry items, from charm bracelets and necklaces to engagement and wedding rings. With a bit of research, you may come across quality pieces at reasonable prices.
• Be on the lookout for seasonal sales. If you're lucky, you could get a Cartier ring or a watch for half the price at sales during Christmas, Thanksgiving or special summer sales. While visiting different showrooms, you'll also learn more about the standards for fine jewelry items.
• In case you're thinking of selling your jewelry pieces, make purchases that will allow you to get the best prices for them come sell time. It also pays to take the advice of friends and associates who regularly buy and sell jewelry items. They'll tell you the right places where you can get the best prices.
• It's also advisable to visit as many stores as you can to make comparisons. Make a list of which dealers offer the best items with competitive prices. The more research you do, the better decision you'll come up with.
Land and Real Estate Property Sale in Thailand for Foreigners
Many people find Thailand among the ideal places to buy land and real estate property in Asia. They want to either invest for personal reasons, like permanent residency and retirement, or for business purposes, like start-ups and rental properties.
If you're a foreign investor who's planning to buy a property in Koh Samui or anywhere else in Thailand, for instance, you'll need to follow legal issues set by the country to avoid getting into trouble. Here are some of them:
Can You Own a Land?
The Thailand Land Code Act allowed foreign investors to own land under a certain treaty, but they ended it around the 1970s. At present, land ownership isn't possible for foreigners. In fact, those who don't follow the law might receive a fine of 20,000 baht or imprisonment of two years. There are legal exceptions to this, however, so you might still have a chance.
Registered Company – If you apply for a Thai Limited Company, you can own a land on your behalf. The only exception is the Thailand Amity Treaty for Americans, as this type of structure can't own land.
Leasehold Agreement – Foreigners can't claim a land through freehold, so the only alternative is to apply for leasehold to the landowner. This means that you have the right to use the land and register it for at least a 30-year leasing term. According to Overseas Property Portfolio, you should be careful about what you build and where because Thailand has specific zoning laws.
Can You Own a House?
Even if you can't own a land, you can still buy a house or any structure that's built on it. The real estate law of Thailand doesn't have any restrictions regarding foreign property ownership, so you can buy buildings and houses within the country regardless of your nationality.
Before buying a real estate in Koh Samui or any other island or city in Thailand, you should be aware of the laws regarding foreign investors. Hiring a real estate agent will also help, so you won't be confused during the process.
Tight on Your Finances? Go for a Used BMW Instead of a New One!
Buying a new BMW is can be a pricey option. This is especially true if you're applying for a car loan. Although car loans are available everywhere, paying them back can be stressful. Consider purchasing a used BMW instead. Here are a few reasons going for a slightly used car may be more beneficial than buying a new one:
• The newer the car, the higher is its depreciation value. The moment you drive off that new BMW from the lot, it starts depreciating at the rate of about 11%. This means if you have spent $40,000, you're already down by $4,400 by the time your car reaches home. This depreciation rate will increase in the first 5 years to about 15 to 20%. This means that by the end of the 5th year, your new car is only worth 37% of its actual cost price. Also, it's hard to forget that you're still making payments for it.
• A used car comes with a lower depreciation rate, which means you end up losing less money as time passes.
• New cars mean a higher premium for your car insurance. You can actually save on this if you get yourself a used BMW in Orange County.
• It's a myth that your financial stability is measured by the car you drive. Life can get quite difficult if you fall into this status trap. This is why most people go overboard and buy those brand new cars just to maintain their status. In reality, they'll be overburdened with unnecessary financial commitments.
• The sales tax that you pay for a used car is much less than for a new car. In fact, in states like Georgia, you don't even have to pay any sales tax if you purchase a used car straight from a private seller.
• The registration fee that you pay for a new car could be a lot more than what you would pay for a used car.
• You end up paying extra for small add-ons, while you can save on all such additional expenditure when you buy a used car.
If you do a bit of research, you can find a used BMW that is as good as a new one, free of scratches and in great shape, too. This will give great value for money.

It's amazing how I managed to create something with small amounts of effort on a regular basis, even when I didn't know how the blanket would turn out when I started. Right now my health is not so great and I have been very frustrated and concerned that I'll never be well. I just need to shift my thinking to how I approached the blanket. I don't know what my future looks like but I've got to tackle it hour by hour. And as long as I just keep chipping away, I'll get to my goal in the end, even if it needs refining along the way.
Those of us with high standards tend to berate ourselves for not getting there fast enough. We think about all the things to be achieved and we get frustrated at the pace at which we are moving. Something that is really important for people like us to remember, is how far we've come and to celebrate the achievements.
I joined the family business in July 2010 and although I was immensely frustrated in the past few years that my vision was not achieved, I did take the company really far. I grew the revenue over 400% and clients 250% in four and a half years. And that's in a difficult economic climate in a business I wasn't passionate about. This was a business with no website that I took to one having a strong brand in its industry. Yes, it was too far behind to catch up but that doesn't mean I didn't make a success of what I had. And I ought to celebrate that. I brought my special talents and flavour to the organisation and although I didn't achieve what I wanted to achieve, I did move the business forward.
Celebrating successes, small or large, doesn't have to be arrogant or self-serving. It helps us remember how far we've come and gives us hope for the future. If I think about the me of 2010, I have learned a great deal and am much more knowledgeable about running a business. I plan to keep learning until the day I die. I'm going to count the blessings of the opportunities I've had to learn (irrespective of how my health has been affected) and celebrate successes. I need to chip away daily at getting well, at learning what works for me and how to restore myself to full health again.Follow me:

I received this message the other day: Your words were very poignant, moving and pardon the slight selfishness, validating. I will remember them as I move through the rest of these trying times. I also hope to carry them with me as I go forward in life.
Then this evening, reading something by Eric Andersen, writing about Ginsberg, Dylan, others: Their lives and writings have sustained me and given me confidence. Their words are my treasures. They are the eyes of the jewel. I am lucky to have gotten to meet and know some of them. They are spirits who illuminated my path, who provided the lantern I carry within, in the hope that one day a light will shine for others, as these great souls have shown for me.
That's not to compare myself with Dylan(!), but to say that all around are people who can sustain us, give us treasures, illuminate our paths and so help us to sustain others, give others treasures, illuminate … In other posts I've named some who have done this for me: Dan Foster, Leslie Kemp, Stephen Gaskin, Stephen Levine, Nora Avila, Lay Rith, and others. Photo: people who sustain me; also see 1st paragraph in this post for a person who helps sustain me.
I've started working on an account of my 13 months in Vietnam.

Magic Dumpling President & CEO Kevin Geiger participated in the opening ceremony of the Shunde Comic and Animation R&D Center, a cooperative venture between the Guangdong Industrial Design City and the Beijing Film Academy.
Situated in Guangdong province, the manufacturing epicenter of the world, the Shunde Comic and Animation R&D Center is a new facility dedicated to the development of high quality ancillary animation products.
Members of Magic Dumpling Entertainment, the Beijing Film Academy and the Guangdong Industrial Design City were joined by regional & local officials for the ribbon cutting ceremony and inaugural addresses.
With its partners at the Shunde base, Magic Dumpling Entertainment will co-develop original product lines related to its slate of transmedia properties, beginning with the "Tofu Boy" franchise.
Kevin Geiger commented to Chinese reporters: "Magic Dumpling's partnership with the Shunde Comic and Animation R&D Center is an important aspect of our company's transmedia strategy. It's great to be in business in China's entrepreneurial south, where most of the world's toys are made, and rewarding to play a role in China's transition from manufacturing powerhouse to brand originator."
"Tofu Boy" Director Sun Lijun remarked: "The opening of the Shunde facility is an important step forward in China's continued development across all areas of the animation industry, from theatrical presentation to the derivative products. As Kevin said in his speech this afternoon, the same emotions that drive the animated content must drive the development of related merchandise."

Two Tollers in Gun Dog Foundations!
Continuing to work on retriever training on the weekends! Finally decided to start Vito. I expect Vito to start slowly with enthusiasm but get higher and higher with the retrieves and then lose his mind with real birds.
Not sure why I thought it would be ok to start with a toy reward. Since he hasn't done any obedience training for toys or food in months he was a bit over the top. I regretted my decision but did some sloppy training anyway.
Today I then used food. Still very excited but thinking.
Zumi is starting to get even more excited by it and thus we're working on impulse control. Pile work is going pretty well with distance and so are "doubles" but thrown from me vs a helper. Sometimes she tries to cheat and break before I release her but overall stays nicely with or without her little box.
Today I recruited Adam for her 2nd experience with another thrower. First time was about 2 months ago and she was very distracted at where the duck noise was coming from and had a hard time marking the actual throws. This time she had no problem with the marking but was way higher aroused!
Casting work has been started as well. Not really sure at all if we're doing it right. Fun times!

A 1-year-old puppy is freaking out a lot of people on the internet because of his oddly human face.
Yogi is a Shih-poo ― a cross between a Shih Tzu and a poodle ― whose eyes and jaw make him appear very human-like, despite being very dog-like in every other way.
"He is the most playful puppy," ownerChantal Desjardins told Inside Edition."He always wants to play ball or get his belly rubbed."
Yogi has become an internet sensation in the last week after a friend posted his photo on Reddit.
Many people have suggested that Yogi's photos were produced with a face swap program, but Desjardins swears that's all him. She said she didn't even realize how human her dog's face appeared until others pointed it out on Twitter.
"But I get why people see it in some pictures," she told Inside Edition.
The celebrities Yogi supposedly looks like include Zach Galifianakis:

If you think Yogi looks more human than canine,there's science to back that up, according to Inverse.com. Research suggests that human brains are wired to think of certain types of animal faces as "cute" or "human-like." The phenomenon, dubbed "baby schema," means humans tend to associate things like big eyes and round cheeks with baby humans.
Inverse gazed deeply into Yogi's eyes and theorized a bit more: "Maybe it's Yogi's mournful stare and round face that reminds us of a baby experiencing an existential crisis."

This is officially my first blog post ever!! YAAYYY and I am so excited to share with you my love of fashion art, food, travel, beauty, basically anything and everything that I come across in life. I have created this blog in order to share with you my fashion inspirations, hauls, beauty looks, tutorials for DIY projects and to give advice about fashion and beauty/health questions anyone might have.
Before I start talking about fashion, here is a bit of information about myself:
My name is Susan Buttice (pronounced Boo-teach-ey), I am 22 years old (23 in a few short weeks) and am of Italian and Portuguese descent. I'm from the beautiful city of Montreal, Quebec (That's in Canada in case you didn't know). I am currently a full-time student at Concordia University completing my graduate degree in chartered accounting (didn't see that coming did you?) and I work for Lady Dutch which is an awesome women's clothing brand that has all the latest in fashion trends. I've seen their line-up for the next few seasons to come, and let's just say I'll be spending a LOT of money on their clothing in the next year. If you want to check them out, here is their website:
Lady Dutch
So enough about me for now, I'm sure we'll get to know each other better in no time. Without further ado, here is my first fashion Haul from my Gorgeous trip to none other than.....
So what did I buy while in this beautiful city? Unfortunately here in Canada there are a lot of beauty products we cannot get that you can find in most convenience stores like Walgreens or CVS. Not to mention that the shopping at outlets like Sawgrass Mills is WAY cheaper and so worth it as compared to here in Quebec with our high taxes! First we'll start out with the beauty products that I bought at a 24 hour (love that they have pharmacies open 24 hours :D) Walgreens.
Nail polish: Essie & Sinful Colors
|From Left to Right: Boxer Shorts (Greyish Blue Purple), Stroke of Brilliance, Mojito Madness, and Sinful Colors 920
Next up on the list is Maybelline's Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows in Bad to the Bronze and Tenacious Teal
|From Left to Right: Bad to the Bronze, Tenacious Teal
The third product I purchased from Walgreens is Rimmels' Sweet Smoulder eyeshadow quad.
|Rimmel's Sweet smoulder
I have to say that when I swatched the colors I had to go back for a second dip into the product to give a true reflection of what the colors look like on skin. I was disappointed with the fact that they are not very pigmented, especially the black. All four colors are very shimmery and a little bit chalky so I expect there to be quite a bit of fallout. I'll let you know my final opinion on this once I use it.
The next thing I purchased was the Milani Illuminating Face powder in Amber Nectar
There isn't much color to this powder. On the skin it shimmers slightly and has just a hint of a peach color but if you want to use this as a bronzer I wouldn't suggest it. It may work as a bronzer for people with fairer skin but if you have a medium skin tone like I do, it would be best to use this as a highlighter. Overall I really like it as a highlight shade and would definitely buy it again.
I'm sure that many of you are avid fashionistas and self taught beauty experts and would agree with me that Sigma has some of the best brushes out there. Not only are the brushes super soft, but they apply product like a dream. I haven't even used all of them yet but I am already in love with them. I intend to have a full review of these brushes posted in the near future so stay tuned!
Now for my fashion haul. Sad part about this is that I didn't buy much when it comes to clothing on this trip. My main goal when shopping on vacation this year was to buy things for an upcoming wedding I have in mid august. So my mission was to find the perfect dress and accessories to wear. Luckily for you and I, my mission to find the perfect outfit was a success! Here are the items I purchased and intend to wear the day of the wedding.
First things first, the shoes, I cannot stress how much I love shoes. I officially have no more room in my closet for shoes and yet I keep buying them.
I bought these shoes, you guessed it, at Guess! They were a real steal, I paid them less than 75$, which is pretty much unheard of here in Quebec for Guess shoes. Because they have a slight platform in the front these shoes are extremely comfy. I can wear them all day without my feet hurting.
The next thing I purchased on my trip was a pair of sunglasses from Coach. The store was absolutely jam packed with people from corner to corner because it was raining that day, so obviously everyone decided to go shopping.
I didn't necessarily buy these for the wedding, but I needed a new pair of shades since all of mine kept breaking. It even came with a cute little case :) Once again I paid these only 58$ ! Pretty amazing right?
Now we get into the really good stuff. I found a gorgeous bracelet at a very small costume jewelry store whose name I don't remember. (I tend to be very forgetful, ask my boyfriend and he'll agree with me on that one) This bracelet is the perfect mix of rosegold, bronze and gold.
To go along with my rosegold bracelet, I also bought a rosegold Armani watch and a rosegold clutch from Michael Kors. I was able to buy them for very inexpensive, but I won't say how much ;) I absolutely love these pieces and can't wait to wear them.
Last but not least, the piece de resistance! For those of you who do not speak french, it's the masterpiece, the dress. I found this dress at BCBG and instantly fell in love with it.

Hi all,
I'm on month 1 of ttc baby number 3. I'm currently cd12 and am starting to get creamy white, slightly sticky discharge. My app tells me I'm peak fertility today but my hubs is away until tomorrow
How long does it take cm to go from creamy to egg white? What are the chances of us missing it before tomorrow evening? I'm panicking!!
23/06/2016 at 11:59
I wouldn't rely on cm alone to detect your fertile days, especially if you have just come off any form of hormonal contraceptive xx
24/06/2016 at 13:17
Cd12 seems a little early. How long do your cycles normally last

I am not a vegan, but I sometimes I avoid dairy when my digestion feels sensitive, and I also often cook for friends with dairy intolerances. Here's a great recipe for a classic caesar salad, done vegan. Balancing for vata, slightly increasing for pitta and kapha. Garlic will create agitation in the mind, but from it is great for colds and certainly delicious.
- 1 tablespoon miso
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup raw cashews or pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or coconut vinegar
- 1 teaspoon stone-ground mustard (or i like grainy dijon)
- 2 cloves garlic (omit for pitta)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or basil
Dissolve the miso in the hot water. Place all other ingredients into a blender or food processor, and process until cream. Add the miso mixture and blend again. This dressing will keep for 5 days in the fridge.
To serve:
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 2 slices bread of your choice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Spread coconut oil on the bread slices and top with a little minced garlic. Place on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Cut into 1/4 inch cubes and set aside.
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce, cut into 1 inch strips
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing (recipe abov)
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
Toss ingredients and top with croutons.

Four young men in Quebec, addled by art, high on hash, fueled by Venom and Motorhead. Post-heavy metal, pre-MTV. The 80s were upon them and the threat of nuclear war seemed almost inevitable. Why not live out the endtimes sipping absinthe, writing music, and donning leather and spikes?
More albums followed and tours too. Voivod began to find a worldwide fanbase of rabid metalheads who couldn't get enough of the violent sound on War and Pain and it's follow-up Roooaaarrr. Away painted graphic images of future warriors and weaponry to adorn the covers of these records that matched his lyrical concepts. Snake hideously sputtered these words, shrieking over the "blower bass" foundation laid by Blacky. A successful U.S. tour in 1986 with Celtic Frost led to greater interest, and greater vistas. Combat/Noise records signed Voivod and sent them to Berlin to record with Kreator producer Harris Johns. As the band aged and grew, so did its abilities and ideas continue to develop exponentially. The third outing Killing Technology was a paradigm shift beyond its predecessors that nearly no one expected. Now the Voivod character was a cyborg in outer space that had survived multiple nuclear wars and was prepared to take on the tyrrany of a totalitarian world. More sophisticated lyrics demanded more intricate music, which the band was now competent to provide thanks to their many travels. But listeners were not spared an ounce of brutality. Sharper focus. More deadly riffs. An evil sound commenced that to this day is as alien and effective as it was in 1987.
By 1991, there was pressure for Voivod to be better yet. MCA's definition of better was to cut out the most demanding elements, tone down the metal, and work with a name producer. During the Angel Rat sessions, tensions flared. The opportunity existed for Voivod to create a masterwork which might move their music into a new field entirely. From progressive metal to progressive rock. The Voivod character had been abandoned, and so had many of the most recognizable elements from previous albums. With the right combination of events and people, this might have been an album to rival Nothingface which was so unique and perfect and uncompromising. But, not unlike Brian Wilson's failed attempt to create a masterpiece of Smile, that combination of events did not transpire.
Blacky quit the group, ending a stunningly artistic first period in the group's history. The following album "The Outer Limits" and its tours would require session bass players to fill the gap he left. The Outer Limits succeeds in all of the areas in which Angel Rat failed, except for one: nothing ever broke the band to a mainstream audience. Chalk it up to internal and external pressures, the dual ghettos of the prog-rock and metal crossroads where the Voivod dwelt, and the untimely explosion of Grunge and Alternative. It was all these elements and more that created a band more resigned to its fate. That realization, along with a healthy severance budget from MCA, made it possible for the band to create a lasting work of art, possibly its last for a corporate sponsor. From the jagged crush of "Lost Machine" to the 17-minute opus "Jack Luminous", The Outer Limits is a rich jazz/metal journey into psychedelic spatial realms, that manages to retain melody and pop sensibilities without compromise.
Silence yawned over the Voivod camp for some time. Their "Iron Gang" fan club had long since disbanded. Founding member and vocalist Snake had departed after the TOL tours, despite evidence of a growing audience of Angel Rat fans who were beginning to discover the rest of the band's catalog. Away and Piggy were left holding the reins of their creation. But truly, Away was responsible for the concept, the artwork, the drive. And Piggy wrote much of the music. By the mid-90s, an underground metal scene was brewing once more. A scene for which Voivod was as influential and responsible as their metal heroes had been to them.
Enter Eric Forrest and Slipdisc records. The best solution for filling two vacancies? Hire one man. Forrest's abilities on the 4-string as well as the strength of his voice provided the perfect match for a leaner, hungrier Voivod. With digital recording costs dropping throughout the industry, independent money for a record became a viable solution, particularly for a trio with more direct ambitions. Negatron was not an album so much as an experiment. Michel "Away" Langevin, Dennis "Piggy" Damour, and Eric Forrest went in the studio without a concept, and jammed. The results were cruder and more aggressive than any previous recording, yet retained a sonic excellence and truly modern sensibility that placed them less in the prog-metal camp, aligning the group closer to groups like Neurosis and Brutal Truth.
As the band worked on their 14th album, disaster struck VOIVOD again. In the summer of 2005, guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour was diagnosed with colon cancer, and as he entered the hospital for a routine operation, several complications led his doctors to find out that his cancer was inoperable, as it was too advanced and had already spread to his liver. Denis slipped into a coma on Thursday August 25th and died less than 24 hours later in the palliative care unit of a Montreal hospital, surrounded by family and friends. He was 45 years old. The band chose to use the guitar demos Piggy had recorded for the new album, and finished and released the recordings as an album titled Katorz, as a tribute to the guitar genius. On 2009, the band used other unreleased guitar demos Piggy had recorded and built a new album around them, with the help of Nothingface's producer Glen Robinson. The album was titled Infini. After Piggy's passing, and despite the almost certainty that Voivod's story as a band had come to an end, some reunion jams in 2008 with original bassist Jean-Ives Theriault and Martyr guitarist Dan Mongrain, led to the band to start touring again as Voivod. As some touring opportunities were offered to the band, they did some major touring in 2008, 2009 and 2010, playing in the USA, Europe and Japan, and releasing the Live DVD Voivod Tatsumaki Voivod Japan 2008.
With Blacky and Dan "Chewy" Mongrain on board, the band continued to tour around the world in 2011 and 2012, and in 2013, the band finally released the long-awaited new album, Target Earth, the first Voivod album without its guitarist and founder Piggy. Target Earth surpassed all expectations, and drew positive reviews all around the world, and was included in some Best-of-2013 Metal lists. Due to some problems's with Snake's health, the band was not able to tour extensively in 2013-2014, but they still managed to play some metal festivals and shows all around the world, including Japan, Chile, and Brasil.
On July 11th 2013, Voivod announced the departure of bassist and founding member, Jean Ives "Blacky" Theriault for "personal reasons". The band recruited Dominique "Rocky" Laroche as their new bass player and he made his debut with Voivod on 2014.06.12 at the Jonquiere en Musique Festival, in their hometown Jonquiere QC, Canada. Following 2014, where the band played only 11 live shows, Voivod has been increasing their touring frequency with 74 live dates in 2015 and whooping 101 live concerts in 2016. In 2015 Voivod released split 7-inch with Napalm Death, followed by the sucessful "Post Society – EP" Mini-CD released on February 26th, 2016 via Century Media Records. The band then released another split 7-inch with Entombed A.D. followed by a European tour with the same band at the end of 2016.

Unlike Other Monsters
Unlike Other Monsters
By Audrey Vernick
Illustrated by Colin Jack
Disney-Hyperion, 2016. Picture Book.
Since Zander is a monster, he doesn't have any friends. Monsters don't do friends. His sister, who is a fairy, has lots of friends. Then one day while surfing, Zander notices a bird watching him. The bird comes back the next day, and soon they are hanging out. When other monsters notice Zander and Bird hanging out, they ask him if they are friends. He says no because monsters don't have friends. But he begins to wonder if he and Bird are friends so he asks his sister what friends do. She tells him they talk, eat, hang out, share secrets, and give kids who have lost their teeth money. Zander realizes that he and Bird do most of those things but until they find children with lost teeth to give money to, they will just have to hang out. A cute story about friendship and breaking the mold to be yourself and be friends with those who you think might be different from you on the surface but become the perfect companion.

CompassionCare Hospice
Original Post URL: http://cchlv.com/compassioncare-co-host-investigative-film/
Free community screenings of the "Being Mortal" documentary will be held at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 15th and March 22, 2017 (times to be announced).
The film investigates the practice of caring for the dying and explores the relationships between patients and their doctors. It follows surgeon Dr. Atul Gawande as he shares stories from the people he encounters. The film sheds light on how a medical system focused on cure often leaves out the sensitive conversations that need to happen so a patient's wishes can be known and honored at the end of their lives. The film is an adaptation of Gawande's 2014 nationally best-selling book of the same name.

For Posterity's Sake
A Royal Canadian Navy Historical Project
Built at Victoria, Dawson was commissioned on 06 Oct 1941 and, after working up, joined Esquimalt Force for local patrol duty. On 20 Aug 1942, she arrived at Kodiak, Alaska, to take part in the Aleutian campaign under U.S. operational control, returning to Esquimalt 04 Nov 1942. She resumed her duties with Esquimalt Force until Feb 1943, when she again proceeded to Alaskan waters to work with U.S. naval units until the end of May 1943. In Sep 1943 she commenced a major refit, including fo'c's'le extension, at Vancouver, worked up following its completion 29 Jan 1944, and on 14 Feb 1944 left for Halifax. Arriving there 25 Mar 1944, she joined EG W-7, WEF. Early in Jan 1945, she began a refit at Dartmouth, on completion of which in Apr 1945 she went to Bermuda to work up. The European war had ended by the time she returned, and she was paid off 19 Jun 1945 at Sorel. Sold for scrap; she foundered at her moorings on 22 Mar 1946 at Hamilton. She was later raised and broken up.

Threaded track trails
from here to somewhere
and back again. The distance
that has crept between us reminds
me of dotted phone poles,
communication masts
and parallel wires bounding
for miles and miles;
a continuum of the 'here
and now' dissolving into faded
sepia, like the static on a BT
line, we are nowhere, and the distance
between us continues to swell.

Six bands fought it out at the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield last night (November 7th), having been selected from dozens of demo entries. They were the Educatables, Ichabod, Funk Forty One, Rookie League, Sons of El'Roacho and What If We Were Superheroes.
Next up is the final six semi-finalists, who will battle it out on November 14th. The newspaper will announce the names of the bands performing next week. The best six bands from both nights will then compete in the grand final on November 21st.
While prestige is an all-important factor to winning the Band of the Year competition, the three finalists will receive extra perks for their efforts as Musicroom has lined up a package of goodies.
Most highly prized, of course, is a Fender Standard Stratocaster, featuring Fender tone, a 70s-style headstock logo and classic styling, which will go to the winning act and help them on their way to becoming a professional band.
The second-placed band will win a studio and practice amp, the Blackstar HT-1 Combo Amplifier, as well as an Amplitube iRig Interface Adaptor, which can sync up to an iPhone or Apple product.
Not leaving the third-placed band empty-handed, they will be given a Boss Micro-BR Digital Recorder to allow them to record their music.
A judging panel will be the ones deciding on which band gets the title of 2011 Band of the Year and Joe Ward from Musicroom's Nottingham store will be one of the judging line-up.
Derbyshire Times has been running the competition since 1987 to showcase some of the county's best musical talent and provide a platform for them to perform.
