As per reports, Union minister of state for MSME and animal husbandry, dairying and fisheries, Pratap Sarangi said that a vision document will be prepared soon for mass employment generation by tapping the potentials available in rural areas.
The minister further stated, "we have abundant opportunities for job creation. A casual approach and lack of proper motivation and training for rural manpower failed to yield tangible result." He added that animal husbandry and fish farming, both inland and marine, can be taken up in a big way as Odisha has a long coastal line. He also said, there is ample scope for employment generation in villages by tapping local resources in different sectors of the country.
The minister is likely to engage rural youth and women in these activities by providing them proper training. "We have to coordinate a number of activities properly and sincerely. Accountability has to fixed and timely review is necessary to ensure proper implementation," he said.

Dance is a universal language of expression. We dance alone, in the privacy of our own homes; we dance together, in pairs and in groups, forming communities based on shared likes and experiences.
Photoworks X at Peckham 24 explored the intersection between dance, music and movement through contemporary photography, performance and video, celebrating how these freedoms of expression helped define different communities. Artists include Lotte Andersen, Marie Barrett, Amar Ediriwira, Bernice Mulenga, Lilian Nejatpour & Rebecca Salvadori.
Peckham 24 is a short festival of contemporary photography that takes place during Photo London week across warehouses, galleries and art spaces in one of London’s most exciting and dynamic artistic quarters. In the spirit of this year’s theme Collaboration x Community, Photoworks, Der Greif and Webber Gallery share a space to explore different perspectives on a common theme, Dancing in Peckham. The three days of photography, performance and music included live performances on Friday evening and Saturday day.
Alexandra Davenport – ‘In the Gap Between’
Live performance, duration varies (approx. 15 minutes)
Performed by: Andrew Oliver, Amelia Tan, Duane Nasis, Rachel Coleman & Sara Stenbaek.
Info: Grappling with the still & moving body — ‘In the Gap Between’ explores the body in motion, and what it means for the body to become a still image. Informed by traditional synchronised dance structures such as Corps de Ballet (Body of the Ballet) and The Chorus Line; ‘The the Gap Between’ utilises key characteristics of these structures (moving in sync, single file arrangement, repetition, pace & pauses) as a means to explore the body as an image. Tasked with creating a consistent image, performers move in a synchronised queue-like formation, and reproduce the movement presented by the performer in front. With movement filtering through each body, ‘In the Gap Between’ embraces the slippages and improvisations that occur when information is lost in translation.
Dustin Ericksen – ‘three easy faeces’
Dustin Ericksen, banjo
Anthony Faroux, percussion
Damian Griffiths, camera
Billy Steiger, violin
A performance of three songs; each song inspired by a single photograph chosen from Der Greif’s ‘open call’ for images. The music is improvisatory, rhythm and drone based. Each song begins with Damian Griffiths setting up a portrait of one player. The song ends when he is satisfied with an image capturing that song. One picture will be produced for each of the three songs.
The work is inspired by a specific DMT synaesthetic experience in which a colorful-tube-player from another dimension played music which was funnelled into and heard by the eyes.
*Lana Mesic & Simone Mudde – ‘Photo Blind Date’*
Welcome to the Photo Blind Date!! Where we will match one lucky contestant with one photograph. The contestant naturally doesn’t get to see the bachelors before and is to base his/her choice purely on the answers the photographs will give. After the game the lucky contestant will go off on a romantic date to get to know each other better. Because honestly how well do we get to know a photograph!?
The game show will be moderated by Simone Mudde and Lana Mesic, contestants to be announced at the venue
Venue: DG Studios, The Bussey Building

MPR News Names Nancy Cassutt Executive Director, MPR News and Programming
After an extensive national search, MPR News has named Nancy Cassutt as executive director, MPR News and programming. She replaces interim news lead, Mike Reszler, who stepped in last summer when Chris Worthington, the former managing director of news, was appointed editor-in-chief of a new group at American Public Media that is focused on investigative and documentary journalism.
Cassutt has served in multiple roles in her nearly six-year tenure at Minnesota Public Radio | American Public Media, most recently as managing director, content initiatives, leading the development of a regional water and health initiative with the goal of creating impact storytelling for and with the broader community. She joined MPR in 2010 as managing director for digital services, overseeing the national digital team and working with content partners on the launch of several national programming websites. After that, she spent two years on the business side of the organization, leading American Public Media's national distribution team, which gave her extensive experience working with public radio stations across the country.
"Nancy is a tremendous news leader," said Dave Kansas, executive vice president, American Public Media Group. "Her deep experience in broadcast news, digital media, newsroom management and strong leadership within the public media industry make her the perfect person to build on the strong work of the MPR News team."
Cassutt came to MPR from a decade-long tenure at Internet Broadcasting, a digital startup company based in New York and Minneapolis that developed websites for television news stations. As senior vice president of content, she built and launched a national newsroom focused on delivering national and international news to a network of more than 100 local television news websites at a time when media were struggling to adapt to the digital content needs of 24x7 news cycle. As a first-hand witness to the digital evolution and its impact on news media, Cassutt played an integral role in helping television stations across the country change their business model from a broadcast-only to broadcast and digital operation.
"The impact of digital technology on journalism has created endless possibilities in terms of storytelling and innovation as well as interacting and connecting with audiences," said Cassutt. "I am eager to take on this new adventure and work with the top-notch journalists here at MPR."
Cassutt started her career at WDIO-TV in Duluth as a reporter. After working at several stations across the Midwest, she quickly rose to the ranks of news management, eventually leading WCCO-TV's award-winning news team.
MPR News has long been recognized as one of the foremost journalistic organizations in the Upper Midwest, reaching news consumers across all platforms. Reaching 500,000 listeners each week, the MPR News radio signal can be heard by 95 percent of Minnesotans. MPR News distributes stories daily to 35 newspapers statewide, shares news coverage with KARE 11 - Minnesota's largest television station -and has news bureaus around the state. MPR News has received numerous awards for its reporting and most recently received a George Foster Peabody Award, Alfred I. DuPont Award and RTDNA Edward R. Murrow Award for its investigative reporting.

When we think of fast food, immediately places like McDonald’s, KFC, and Sonic come to mind. We think of greasy and unhealthy food. We think of guilty pleasures. The alternative, of course, is dining out at a restaurant with fresh and locally sourced food. But that requires time and money, and often we don’t feel like we have either of those things.
What if I told you fast food didn’t have to be unhealthy, guilty, or greasy? Sprig takes fast food to an entirely new level, adding color, texture, flavor, and nutrition.
The menu offers a variety of bowls, salads, sides, smoothies, and juices that are prepared within minutes of ordering. Once prepared, dishes are beautifully placed on a small shelf labeled “pick up,” and customers can choose whether to dash out, or eat their meal in the cute and comfortable restaurant space. Those who are in a hurry don’t even have to step into the restaurant to order food, because Sprig has a drive-through option.
Sprig is the first healthy drive-in option I have encountered in Colorado Springs, and possibly ever. With filling bowls of nutritious food for only $9–10, this dining option feels like a no brainer! The spice and flavor in their dishes is just as potent as other healthy restaurants in Colorado Springs.
The restaurant has a modern feel, like a small pop-in place you would find in a large city. The design is minimalistic, with marble-top tables, white walls, and wooden stools. Each dish has the aesthetic, trendy look you see in many similar restaurants, only it takes half the time to prepare.
“After eating a McDonald’s meal, it’s this weird feeling in your stomach of having food in there, but not being quite full,” Zac Schulman ’19 said. “You can feel the empty calories, and you’re hungry again just minutes later!” At Sprig, not only is the food fast and convenient, but also it is incredibly filling. A small bowl stacked with quinoa, roasted cauliflower, avocado, and grilled tempeh left my stomach stuffed and my body energized for several hours.
Healthy grain bowls have become a trend in the last several years, and many people complain that they taste the same. Sprig, however, has unique options under the “Breakfast Bowl” section of their menu. Items range from savory oats with tamari greens mixed with roasted vegetables, a steamed egg, avocado, and wmiso sesame sauce, to a pesto scramble with the option of crumbled tempeh, vegan kale pesto, and sunflower seeds. The à la carte menu also offers handmade rosemary crackers and delicious cookies. The soup currently on the menu is a green coconut soup made with steamed kale, various herbs and spices, and coconut milk. The smoothie selection includes an espresso-almond option, which tastes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a drink. Sprig also turns these smoothies into bowls, adding grains and chopped fruit to make it more of a meal.
Sprig: “Enlightened Eats” makes eating healthy easy, at a time when greasy fast food restaurants are at every other traffic light. The restaurant makes a nutritional option more accessible than it’s been before.

When starting a new business there are several easily overlooked key points to make your start-up successful. You’ll use the legal name of your business on all your government forms and applications, including your application for your employer tax identification number, licenses, and permits. It’s a good idea to draw up a basic business plan — even just a one-pager — to help test whether you have a sound idea. Use your answers to these questions to formulate this plan and put it into writing – for yourself and to keep the focus on your goal.
He was featured in Entrepreneur Magazine as a young entrepreneur, launching his first successful business at the age of 15. Up until joining as an online marketing manager in 2012, he honed his skills working as a consultant alongside brands large and small, including LegalZoom, Clear Channel, eSolar, Dickies, and Urban Outfitters. Once you’ve started building an online presence and creating awareness for your business, you need to generate the leads that will close into customers. If you’re looking to start a wedding photography business , you may find during your research that the market is over-saturated in your area.
There are several crucial steps involved in starting a business, including writing a business plan, securing financing, researching and choosing a location, registering your business, complying with tax requirements, and filing local and state licenses and permits. Nor can you run a business without some form of sales and marketing , so you need to let people know who you are, where you are, and what you do. You need to know where to ﬁ nd your customers , and how to communicate with them in a charming and positive way. Note that I am not advocating subverting tax or legal guidelines…as a matter of fact I am suggesting that you follow the rules, through making your business profitable first.
I drive my own customers to my business and I will show you how to do the same in this blog. If you are good enough in Swedish by now, the Tax Agency also offers free information meetings giving step-by-step help about how to start up a business (linked information only in Swedish).

To start selling online, you need GST registration no matter whether you are going to launch your website or sell through a marketplace. Primarily you’ll be asked to install deadbolts, but later on, as your business gets bigger, you’ll want to offer commercial business and real estate companies the option of replacing all their old lock hardware for newer more secure hardware.

American muscle cars have held a special place in automotive culture for decades, embodying power, speed, and a sense of freedom on the open road. Beyond their raw performance, a significant aspect of the allure lies in the extensive customization options available to enthusiasts. This essay explores the rich history of American muscle cars, the culture of customization, and the impact of personalization on both the automotive industry and individual enthusiasts.
The Rise of American Muscle Cars:
The term “muscle car” refers to a high-performance automobile characterized by a powerful engine, rear-wheel drive, and a sleek, aggressive design. The roots of American muscle cars can be traced back to the post-World War II era when veterans sought the thrill of speed and excitement. However, it was in the 1960s and 1970s that muscle cars truly came into their own, with iconic models like the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Dodge Challenger capturing the imagination of car enthusiasts.
During this period, automakers engaged in a horsepower race, pushing the limits of engine design and performance. Muscle cars became a symbol of American ingenuity and engineering prowess, appealing to a generation that valued speed and power. These vehicles were not just means of transportation; they were a statement of freedom, rebellion, and the pursuit of the open road.
The allure of American muscle cars extends beyond their factory specifications; it lies in the culture of customization that surrounds them. Car enthusiasts, often referred to as “gearheads” or “petrolheads,” relish the opportunity to personalize their vehicles, transforming them into unique expressions of individuality. This culture of customization encompasses a wide range of modifications, from engine enhancements to exterior modifications and interior upgrades.
- Engine Modifications: One of the primary focuses of customization is enhancing the performance of the engine. Enthusiasts often opt for aftermarket upgrades such as high-performance exhaust systems, cold air intakes, and superchargers to boost horsepower and torque. Engine tuning and modifications allow owners to tailor the driving experience to their preferences, whether they seek drag strip dominance or corner-carving agility.
- Exterior Customization: The exterior of a muscle car is a canvas for personal expression. Custom paint jobs, racing stripes, and vinyl wraps are common ways enthusiasts distinguish their vehicles. Aftermarket body kits, spoilers, and hood scoops not only contribute to the aesthetics but also serve functional purposes, improving aerodynamics and cooling.
- Interior Upgrades: The customization extends to the interior, where enthusiasts often invest in high-quality materials, custom upholstery, and advanced audio systems. Performance-focused additions such as racing seats, custom steering wheels, and upgraded instrumentation enhance both the comfort and functionality of the driving experience.
- Suspension and Handling: Achieving the perfect balance between power and handling is crucial for many muscle car owners. Upgrades to the suspension system, including performance shocks, struts, and sway bars, help fine-tune the car’s dynamics. Lowering kits and upgraded brakes contribute to improved stability and control.
Impact on the Automotive Industry:
The culture of customization associated with American muscle cars has significantly impacted the automotive industry in various ways. Manufacturers recognize the appeal of personalization and, in response, offer an increasing array of factory options and performance packages. This shift reflects an understanding that consumers value the ability to tailor their vehicles to meet specific preferences and lifestyle choices.
- Aftermarket Industry Growth: The demand for aftermarket parts and accessories has surged alongside the popularity of customization. A robust industry has emerged, providing enthusiasts with a vast selection of performance upgrades, aesthetic enhancements, and specialized components. From specialized exhaust systems to advanced suspension kits, the aftermarket industry caters to the diverse needs of muscle car enthusiasts.
- Special Editions and Performance Packages: Automakers capitalize on the customization trend by releasing special edition models and performance packages. These offerings often feature unique paint schemes, upgraded interiors, and enhanced performance components. Limited-production models, such as the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, showcase the collaboration between manufacturers and customization culture.
- Technology Integration: Advancements in automotive technology have further fueled the customization trend. Modern muscle cars come equipped with sophisticated onboard computer systems that allow owners to fine-tune various parameters, from engine performance to suspension settings. This integration of technology provides a platform for enthusiasts to explore new ways of personalizing their vehicles.
Individual Enthusiast Stories:
The culture of customization within the American muscle car community is not just a trend but a deeply personal and passionate pursuit for many enthusiasts. Individual stories showcase the diverse motivations, experiences, and connections forged through the customization of these iconic vehicles.
- Restoring Classic Muscle Cars: Some enthusiasts find joy in restoring and customizing classic muscle cars, preserving automotive history and breathing new life into vintage vehicles. The process often involves sourcing rare parts, meticulously restoring the body and interior, and upgrading components to modern standards while retaining the essence of the original design.
- Building Show-Stopping Creations: Car shows and exhibitions provide platforms for enthusiasts to showcase their customized creations. From meticulously detailed paintwork to unique modifications that push the boundaries of conventional design, these show-stopping muscle cars become expressions of artistic vision and engineering prowess.
- Community and Camaraderie: The culture of customization fosters a sense of community and camaraderie among muscle car enthusiasts. Car clubs, events, and online forums provide spaces for individuals to share their experiences, exchange ideas, and form connections based on a shared passion for high-performance vehicles. The sense of belonging to a community adds a social dimension to the personalization journey.
American muscle cars and the culture of customization that surrounds them represent more than just a vehicular trend; they embody the spirit of individuality, innovation, and a deep connection to the road. From the classic era of the 1960s and 1970s to the modern iterations that continue to captivate enthusiasts, these iconic vehicles serve as canvases for personal expression.
The relationship between American muscle cars and their owners goes beyond the mechanical; it reflects a symbiotic connection between man and machine, where each modification tells a story and each drive becomes a journey of self-discovery. The impact of customization extends to the automotive industry, influencing manufacturers to embrace personalization as a central theme in design and marketing.
As the culture of customization continues to evolve, the legacy of American muscle cars remains firmly rooted in the hearts and garages of enthusiasts. Whether it’s a meticulously restored classic, a high-performance modern iteration, or a uniquely customized showstopper, the allure of American muscle and the pursuit of personalizing power continue to shape the landscape of automotive passion.

Who can see your viewing activity?
Thanks Alison,The words of your book are very moving, can’t wait to read it! You were really brave to share your experience that can help a lot of people!There is still a lot of stigma around mental health issues. At the same time, the prevalence of depression and anxiety is increasing, and a lot of people are suffering with a high cost in terms of human suffering for patients and the community.I see really low support for mental health in our everyday life and really low awareness on these issues. What is in your opinion the best way to overcome the stigma around mental health issue (among our family, friends, our collogues and bosses at work) and make people understand how mental health status is important as much as our physical health?
Thanks that was really interesting!
Thanks a lot Alison. It has been very interesting. I need to reflect on all of this.

Sustainability appraisals look at the economic, social and environmental impact of plans. These appraisals are an essential part of making a good Local Plan. There is more risk of a plan being challenged on legal grounds if we do not carry out a proper sustainability appraisal.
The sustainability appraisal for Thurrock's new Local Plan includes:
- a health impact assessment
- an equalities impact assessment
- a habitats screening assessment
The first stage in a Local Plan sustainability process is the preparation of a 'scoping report'. This sets out:
- the context in which the plan is being prepared
- our sustainability objectives
- how we will carry out the assessment
- the relevant environmental, economic and social issues
Our consultation on the document below ended on 11 April 2016. We are reviewing comments received and will publish a final Sustainability Appraisal scoping report in September 2016.

Currently our library website is the Follett catalog page where we list our databases on one tab and you can search the catalog on the other page:
While we like the full functionality of the Follett search page. This certainly doesn’t count as a web presence and we are finding with all the new tools available it is time to expand our website. We purchased LibGuides this year but have
been unable to find not made the time to explore LibGuides to the extent needed to really get a good start on the website.
I watched the video Using LibGuides CMS for library websites and began work on our site. That makes it sound super simple but it certainly wasn’t and I realize I am a long way from done. Here is how the site looks now
What I accomplished:
- Learned how to change all the colors so we can decide on a final color plan.
- Added images giving access to OverDrive
- Added Follett Destiny search boxes that use the Destiny Quest search feature. This is not our preferred search method and I don’t like the size of the boxes but this is a starting point.
- Removed all the header and title information to make the page look more like a webpage than a subject guide
Still to be done:
- Add guides! The Industrial Revolution guide by Diane Mahoney from Rochester is a great one to consider for a template.
- Add the Follett search like we currently use rather than the Destiny Quest search.
- Adjust the colors; being sure they are right for our district and our users as stated in the article 7 Best Practices for Creating a User Friendly Library Website
- Incorporate our databases
As you can see there is lots to be done. When I look back at what I did get done it doesn’t seem like much but hopefully some of the learning curve is gone and I will be able to move forward with the project.

Voter Photo ID: Not Just a TN Phenomena
Fresh off commanding electoral victories in November, Republican majorities in many state legislatures want to require voters to show photo identification at the polls, a move Democrats say is cynically designed to help the GOP during the next election cycle, according to a Stateline report.
Both political parties regularly engage in finger-pointing over what will or will not happen if photo ID rules become law. But experts say both sides suffer from a lack of information.
The prospect of voter fraud is the chief reason Republicans say they support a photo ID requirement, but documented instances of such fraud are few and far between, leading Democrats to call the GOP-backed measures a "solution without a problem." The U.S. Supreme Court acknowledged as much in its 6-3 ruling upholding the Indiana law, though it said that the state's interest in preventing fraud outweighs other considerations.
Democrats contend that new rules requiring voters to show photo ID will lead tens of thousands of their constituents to be turned aside at the polls. Several studies have indeed shown that minorities and the poor and elderly are less likely than others to carry valid identification, but it is difficult to say with certainty that photo ID laws cause disenfranchisement. Minority participation soared in the 2008 presidential election, including in Indiana and other states that had photo ID requirements in place. Of course, the presence of President Obama on the ticket drove much of that increase.
One important election official, Secretary of State Jon Husted of Ohio, is trying to stake out a middle position. He believes both Democrats and his own Republican Party make "extreme points" to further their arguments for or against photo ID. Husted opposes a photo ID bill being pushed by conservative lawmakers in Ohio and is instead seeking a compromise version that would allow for voters' identities to be verified through a social security number or other means short of requiring a photo ID.

The state government is ultimately held accountable to the people through the electoral process—but that should not be the only line of defense against government overreach or waste. Taxpayers deserve a transparent government that works for them. Reforms are needed to reduce corruption and limit the scope of government to its constitutional authority. Additionally, reforms that ensure a transparent budgeting process, a fair electoral process, and a streamlined regulatory process should be pursued to increase the government’s integrity.

The face of “jealous and controlling” Chesterfield man who shared sexual images of his ex-girlfriend on social media
A “jealous and controlling” Chesterfield man shared sexual images of his ex-girlfriend on social media in a “fit of revenge and anger” after their breakup
Sam Mellor, 22, sent naked photos of the girl – who cannot be named for legal reasons – after blackmailing her with them in exchange for sex after the breakup.
Nottingham Crown Court heard how Mellor’s scared victim – just 17 at the time – agreed to meet him for sex.
The disgraced Chesterfield man showed her the images had been deleted from his iPhone “before and after sexual intercourse”.
However Mellor “was not true to his word” – having already backed up the images on another device.
The next day – March 23, 2018 – Mellor sent the photos by Whatsapp, iPhone message and Facebook to a group of friends.
Mellor, who was acquitted of rape during a trial, admitted distributing sexual photos with intent to cause distress and witness intimidation and was jailed for 18 months
Nottingham Recorder Balraj Bhatia QC told him: “I remember during your trial how distressing it was for her having to live with that exposure in a relatively small community where she was known and to have all of her images put on social media.
“The anxiety it caused – she was still so young.”
During Mellor’s trial a jury heard how Mellor’s young victim was only 15 when they met and during the two-year relationship she sent him 200 images after he requested them.
Recorder Bhatia said: “You had been in a relationship with her for two years – you were immature, controlling and extremely jealous.
“She called you boring and you did not like that – you wanted to have power over her.
“During the relationship she sent at your request a number of sexual photos of her from her phone to your phone.
“Sadly a practise all too common – and that allowed you to maintain a degree of power and control over her.”
The court heard how after Mellor’s former girlfriend reported him to the police he threatened her saying “if this goes to court I know people in Chesterfield who are real nutters who will go for you”.
Recorder Bhatia said: “You made it clear after the break up that unless she did what you wanted you would disclose or distribute those images over social media platforms
“Even when she did what you wanted when she made it plain she did not want to pursue a relationship in a fit of revenge and anger you distributed those images of her.”
The judge told Mellor he would have “no problem” imposing an immediate custodial sentence.
However because Mellor had already served the equivalent of 34 months under electronic curfew that would mean his immediate release.
Mellor, of Romford Way, Barrow Hill, was placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years.
Recorder Bhatia told him: “You have effectively served your sentence.

G. M. Goshgarian has rendered poetry and prose by twenty-eight modern Armenian writers into English: Abovian, Alishan, Andonian, Arpiarian, Balakian, Beledian, K. Emin, M. Emin, V. Grigorian, Hamasdegh, Indra, Injijian, Kurkdjian, Mahari, Narduni, H. Oshagan, V. Oshagan, M. Petrosian, Sarafian, Shahnur, Shushanian, Srvantsdiants, Terian, Varoujan, Vorpuni, Vratsian, Yessayan, and K. Zarian. Commissioned and paid for by the Fesjian Fund at New York's Columbia University, the Armenian Department of the London School of Oriental and African Studies, the Armenian National Institute in Washington, the Prince Claus Fund, and a generous bequest left by Abraham Terzian more than twenty years ago for the still unrealized purpose of producing an encyclopedic work on Armenian history and culture, most of these translations remain unpublished. The most important of them, an English version of the first part of Hagop Oshagan's novel "Remnants", was awarded a PEN translation grant in 2009 and was released by Gomidas Press in 2013, on the 150th anniversary of Oshagan's birthday. Other translations will appear in an appendix to Marc Nichanian's "Mourning Philology", due from Fordham University Press early in 2014. Among Goshgarian's other published translations from Armenian are selections from Mahari and Yessayan in M. Nichanian's "Writers of Disaster"; poems by K. Beledian, G. Emin and V. Grigorian, available in "Ararat" and "Deviation: Anthology of Contemporary Armenian Literature"; and an essay by Vahe Oshagan, released in A. Oshagan and V. Oshagan, "Father Land".
Goshgarian has also published translations from French and German of twenty books and a number of essays, including work by Janine Altounian, Sévane Garibian, Raymond Kévorkian, Marc Nichanian, Vahé Tachjian, Gilbert Achcar, Louis Althusser, Esther Benbassa, Jacques Derrida, Gérard Genette, Jürgen Habermas, Octave Mannoni and Hans-Jörg Rheinberger. His review article on the Turkish journalist Ece Temelkuran's "Deep Mountain: Across the Turkish-Armenian Divide" (London: Verso, 2010) may be found in the Winter 2011 issue of the on-line journal "New Politics".

“Do you know what people did in the old days when they had secrets they didn’t want to share? They’d climb a mountain, find a tree, carve a hole in it, whisper the secret into the hole and cover it up with mud. That way, nobody else would ever learn the secret”
I’m normally not a secretive person, but there was something in my heart I wanted to let go, and during my visit up north, i visited a place that I felt most comfortable in the world and whispered my secret into the tree. It felt like a confession, something I had done or felt that noone could ever find out. We all possess at least one secret within us, some of them light and not worth keeping whilst some of them are embedded in their hearts as deep as the ocean itself. Whatever they are, consider letting it go to a good old reliable tree. You’ll feel so much better, trust me.
The added bonus of this secret was that I actually wrote a secret inside the tree, hoping that someone would one day read it. They would have no idea what it meant, and have no idea who I am, what I look like, and why I wrote that secret. Having that feeling behind the back of your head was pretty neat.
Hope this post was inspiring for you and will encourage you to do something silly today. Set your mind free! (cheesy I know, but it was that or an anticlimax).

OR WAIT null SECS
According to this week’s FluView report, seasonal influenza activity continues to increase slowly in the United States. The proportion of people seeing their healthcare provider for influenza-like-illness (ILI) has been at the national baseline for two consecutive weeks. (This means that there were excess visits to health care providers most likely caused by influenza.) One state (Massachusetts) reported widespread flu activity and twenty-seven states are now reporting regional or local flu activity. That means those states are seeing outbreaks of flu and laboratory-confirmed flu in at least half of the regions of the state (widespread activity), in at least two regions but less than half of the regions of the state (regional activity), and in a single region (local activity). However 22 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands continue to report only sporadic flu activity, which means those states are seeing small numbers of flu or one laboratory-confirmed flu outbreak. Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses have been the most commonly identified flu viruses since September 30, 2018. CDC analyzes flu data every week and declares the start of each “flu season” after sustained elevated activity is observed across key flu indicators for a number of weeks. While flu activity is elevated in parts of the country, it’s too early to say the 2018-2019 flu season has started nationally.
An annual flu vaccine is the best way to protect against influenza and its potentially serious complications. There are many benefits to vaccination, including reducing the risk of flu illness, doctor’s visits, hospitalization, and even death in children. For anyone 6 months or older who has not yet been vaccinated this season, CDC recommends that they get vaccinated now. Below is a summary of the key flu indicators for the week ending December 1, 2018:
Influenza-like Illness Surveillance: For the week ending December 1 (week 48), the proportion of people seeing their health care provider for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 2.2%, which is at the national baseline. Four of 10 regions (Regions 4, 7, 8 and 9) reported a proportion of outpatient visits for ILI at or above their region-specific baseline level. Additional ILINet data, including national, regional, and select state-level data for the current and previous seasons, can be found at http://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/fluportaldashboard.html.
Influenza-like Illness State Activity Indicator Map: Two states (Georgia and Louisiana) experienced high ILI activity. Two states (Colorado and South Carolina) experienced moderate ILI activity. New York City and eight states (Alabama, Arizona, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia) experienced low ILI activity. The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 38 states experienced minimal ILI activity. Additional data, including data for previous seasons, can be found at https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/main.html.
Geographic Spread of Influenza Viruses: Widespread influenza activity was reported by one state (Massachusetts). Regional influenza activity was reported by nine states (California, Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nevada, New York, Oregon, and Vermont). Local influenza activity was reported by 18 states (Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia). Sporadic influenza activity was reported by the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and 22 states (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming). Guam did not report. Geographic spread data show how many areas within a state or territory are seeing flu activity. Additional data are available at: https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/FluView8.html.
Flu-Associated Hospitalizations: Data regarding influenza-associated hospitalizations for the 2018-2019 influenza season is now available. Since October 1, 2018, 383 laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations have now been reported through the Influenza Hospitalization Network (FluSurv-NET), a population-based surveillance network for laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations. This translates to a cumulative overall rate of 1.3 hospitalizations per 100,000 people in the United States.
The highest hospitalization rates are among people 65 years and older (3.3 per 100,000) and children younger than 5 years (3.3 per 100,000), followed by adults aged 50-64 years (1.4 per 100,000). During most seasons, children younger than 5 years and adults 65 years and older have the highest hospitalization rates.
Additional data, including hospitalization rates during previous influenza seasons, can be found at http://gis.cdc.gov/GRASP/Fluview/FluHospRates.html and http://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/FluHospChars.html.
Mortality Surveillance: The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was 5.7% during the week ending November 24, 2018 (week 47). This percentage is below the epidemic threshold of 6.5% for week 47 in the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Mortality Surveillance System. Additional P&I mortality data for current and past seasons and by geography (national, HHS region, or state) are available at https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.html
Pediatric Deaths: No influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported to CDC during week 48 (the week ending December 1, 2018).
A total of five influenza-associated pediatric deaths have been reported for the 2018-2019 season.
Additional information on influenza-associated pediatric deaths reported during past seasons, including basic demographics, underlying conditions, bacterial co-infections, and place of death is available on FluView Interactive at: https://gis.cdc.gov/GRASP/Fluview/PedFluDeath.html. More detailed information about pediatric deaths reported during the current season will be available later in the season.
Nationally, the percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza viruses in clinical laboratories during the week ending December 1 was 4.2%.
Regionally, the three-week average percent of specimens testing positive for influenza in clinical laboratories ranged from 1.0% to 9.6%.
During the week ending December 1, of the 925 (4.2%) influenza-positive tests reported to CDC by clinical laboratories, 846 (91.5%) were influenza A viruses and 79 (8.5%) were influenza B viruses.
The most frequently identified influenza virus type reported by public health laboratories was influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus.
During the week ending December 1, 170 (94.4%) of the 180 influenza-positive tests reported to CDC by public health laboratories were influenza A viruses and 10 (5.6%) were influenza B viruses. Of the 152 influenza A viruses that were subtyped, 27 (17.8%) were H3N2 viruses and 125 (82.2%) were (H1N1)pdm09 viruses.
The majority of the influenza viruses collected from the United States during September 30, 2018 through December 1, 2018 were characterized antigenically and genetically as being similar to the cell-grown reference viruses representing the 2018â2019 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine viruses.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – France’s development minister is backing U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s call for the World Bank and similar institutions to vastly expand their lending, but said the United States needs to join France and other countries in channeling its IMF monetary reserves to poorer countries.
Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, Secretary of State for Development, Francophonie and International Partnerships, told Reuters in an interview late on Thursday that the world needs “to move on” from the old development financing model focused on individual projects to broadly increase support to African countries and other developing nations hit by global challenges.
Last week, Yellen called on the World Bank and other multilateral development lenders to revamp their business models, stretch their balance sheets and harness more private capital to dramatically boost lending to address global needs such as climate change.
Yellen asked for an “evolution roadmap” from the World Bank by the end of December.
Zacharopoulou, who is attending the International Monetary Fund and World Bank annual meetings in Washington this week, said France was ready to help with the reforms.
“Between the USA and France, we can work very well and maybe together propose something regarding the reform of the international financing system, so I totally agree in principle with the new ideas proposed by Secretary Yellen,” the French minister said.
Despite strong support for increasing resources to war-torn Ukraine at the IMF and World Bank meetings, Zacharopoulou said that countries also needed to keep up a strong focus on supporting other developing countries.
“We need to avoid the division between North and South. All of us were impacted by this crisis and poverty is increasing everywhere,” she said. “Populations want us to deliver. If not, there is a real risk of social discontent everywhere.”
She said wealthier countries, especially the United States, needed to contribute part of last year’s $650 billion distribution of IMF Special Drawing Rights (SDR) monetary assets to trust funds for poorer countries.
France has contributed about 20% of the $37.6 billion worth of SDRs that it received to IMF trust funds including the new Resilience and Sustainability Trust for vulnerable middle-income countries and island states, and it has pledged to increase that to 30%.
The United States has not contributed any of its $101.5 billion share of the SDR allocation to the trust funds, a move that would require approval from Congress.
“We need the USA” to join in the reallocation of its SDRs to countries that need them, Zacharopoulou said. “We have to deliver.”
Yellen told a news conference on Friday that the Biden administration is seeking congressional approval to lend $21 billion worth of SDRs to poorer countries through the IMF trust funds. The request was made as part of a fiscal 2023 appropriations bill.

Buried Alive by Roy Hallums
I must say that I was a little unsure when I first picked up this book to review. It is a true story of a kidnapping, captivity and rescue of a man named Roy Hallums from Iraq.
What I must say is that I loved the opening of the book. It provided you the historical background of where the United States and Iraq were during 2004. It was at the beginning of the US led invasion of Iraq, where countless numbers of people were being kidnapped from not only various countries but from the United States as well. The primary reason for doing this was to fund the insurgent groups that were responsible for the kidnapping. The ransoms that were paid out depended on a variety of factors from who you were, who you worked for, why you were in Iraq, and what country you were from.
This was at a time when the US did not negotiate payment of ransoms for kidnapping. So it was extremely difficult for the kidnappers to get any money from the US government. This book follows the true life story of Roy Hallums who lived in Saudi Arabia for 10 years before being transferred to Iraq to assist with food operations during the rebuilding efforts.
The book chronicles the life of Roy during his 311 days of waiting for his release from his kidnappers, never knowing if he would make it out alive or not, and also the story of what his family went through trying to negotiate his release as well.
To tell you that I recommend this book is a bit of an understatement. I picked it up and didn’t put it down until I finished it, all in one day. It was that great! I felt like the entire time, I was right there with Roy going through some of the worst situations imaginable. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great book to read that you won’t be able to put down!
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book to review by Thomas Nelson Publishers.

I recall clearly an evening at a glass of Bordeaux in a company with my old French friend. That was the time when my interest to wine had just started to arise and I was a grateful listener of any wine related topics. Michel told me that the real wine is a product of earth. It is born by terrain and baptized by a good blend of several different varieties. I felt as if an oracle mystery had just been shared with me. Later on the time working with wine, constant desire to learn new and interaction with wine makers helped me to find the answer to the question where the wine is born and what it takes to get a good wine. So was the oracle right?
Trying various wines you couldn’t help but notice a very interesting fact – all of them differ from one another, they have different tasting characteristics, personal notes and some of them do have very expressive meaningful taste which stands for their good quality. For a better understanding what makes the wine different we have to think about following: a grape variety, the land it’s born at (terroir), production method and a wine maker conscience. Those factors are like the 4 whales that all good wines stand on.
Hundreds of grape varieties can be divided in 2 groups international and local. The former are met all around the world like Chardonnay and Merlot, the latter are normally grown in one particular region like Cataratta in Sicily or Tempranillo in northern Spain. Every variety gives the wine certain aromatic characteristics, tannins, sugar and acidity level. That’s why the ripeness of the grape is highly important. But you’ve known for a fact that Cabernet from Chile is not the same as Cabernet from France. German Riesling is not the same as the one from New Zealand. Sauvignon Blanc from Loire Valley can hardly be confused with any other Sauvignon. And the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy are so unique. So the answer to our question put its roots deeper to the land where the vine is growing. And it’s called terroir.
Terroir as a key ingredient
The notion of terroir hasn’t been translated into other languages as its concept has been underestimated everywhere but France. So it became a pure French notion that is proudly known in France as a key ingredient to a successful winemaking. The French have always believed that the great wine is born by the land and nothing on Earth can make them change their mind. Even quite interesting and successful experiences of New World’s wine makers that put into their philosophy the wines of a single variety to show their indigenous characteristics.
What does the notion involve? There is a concrete definition that leaves no questions behind. The terroir is not just a soil or climate it is a combination of 3 factors: climate conditions of the area – day and night temperatures throughout the year, quantity of rainy and sunny days, the quality of the wind; the 2nd is the soil content and the drainage quality; and finally the exposition of the vineyard ie the direction to the sun among which the south east considered the best and the angle of the vineyard location on the hill. All of the factors are deeply considered before planting a vineyard in the area.
A great wine is born from the union of a high quality grape grown on the generous terroir suitable to this particular grape. Before planting any grapes the soil is studied very thoroughly.
The importance of the soil
All the factors mentioned above are important however I’d like to put more light on the importance of the soil. The soil nurture the roots with life important minerals. The Earth gives all the necessary to the vine to form the grape that acts as a link between the wine and the soil. It translates all the secrets of the earth and wine receives a strong body. The best quality soil for wine growing are limestone or calcarious rock, volcanic, clay (argile). The soil has to be well drenaged.
Winemaker’s responsibility and production methods
Wine maker is responsible for guiding and controlling all the processes starting from the vegetation of vines to bottling. That’s why the best case scenario is when all the vineyards are in the property of the wine estate. But alas it’s expensive. In that case a serious estate establishes trustworthy relationships with vine growers or rent vineyards to take care of them in person.
The terroir concept for a long time wasn’t used by other countries but nowadays all wine regions invest a lot to explore and find the best terroirs to produce the great wines.
PS. All wines contain alcohol that is bad to your health

Prior to what was technically their first road game of the regular season, the Boston College Eagles lost their best player. Then they lost the game itself.
On Sunday afternoon, the College of Charleston Cougars defeated the Eagles, 71-67. BC lost all three games in the Charleston Classic after winning their home opener and playing #16 Baylor close, deep into the second half.
Boston College would not have Ryan Anderson for this contest, as the Eagles’ star injured himself getting off of the team bus on Tuesday, as reported by ESPN3. He played through the injury on Thursday and Friday, but tweaked the injury prior to Sunday’s contest and was benched by Coach Steve Donahue.
The Eagles seemed to suffer few ill effects of it in the first half, as Boston College opened a five-point halftime lead. They did not go inside nearly as much, particularly when Dennis Clifford found his way to the bench with early foul trouble, but they did overcome their turnovers and make some big shots to hold the advantage at the break.
Out of halftime, however, Charleston came on strongly and overtook Boston College. Their lead was gone within minutes, and after Charleston grabbed a 42-40 lead, BC never tied the game or took the lead again. Charleston led by as many as eight points in the second half, but the Eagles showed some late fight to get back within one — at which point, they promptly gave up a three. When the Eagles got back within two, they allowed another three.
This is a discouraging loss for two reasons. One, even without Ryan Anderson, nobody on Boston College wanted to see 0-3 in the Charleston Classic. After a mostly well-played game against Baylor, it probably wasn’t expected, either. Two, the defense was again poor. They fell too far behind in the second half, but still had a chance in the closing minutes. Both times (before the endless fouling) they cut the lead to one basket, Charleston came back and hit crucial three-pointers. The low-post presence was also lacking without Anderson.
It was an opportunity for BC to see what they are with Anderson out of the lineup, and though Patrick Heckmann and Lonnie Jackson were able to improve offensively (Charleston was Jackson’s best game so far), this is a game BC should have won even without him. This was a road game, yet the Eagles led in the second half but couldn’t get out of their own way. They only shot 40% from the field and the team leader in rebounds (Joe Rahon) had just seven of them. Particularly after halftime, it was an ugly performance.
The Eagles will have to shake this off quickly if they intend to get back on track. BC hosts the SEC’s Auburn on Wednesday afternoon at Conte Forum.

When it comes to stock photography, we often find ourselves captivated by the power of bold colors and striking subjects. However, amidst this captivating chaos, there lies an artful void waiting to be explored. Negative space, the artistic technique of purposefully leaving areas of an image empty, holds immense allure and potential. Let us embark on a journey to unlock the charm of negative space in stock photography.
A Place for Imagination
In a world filled with clutter and constant stimuli, our eyes crave a space to rest and ponder. Negative space provides just that – an open canvas for the viewer’s imagination to run wild. By purposefully incorporating empty areas in your stock photos, you create room for the viewer to contemplate, to fill in the gaps with their own thoughts and emotions. These seemingly unoccupied spaces become portals to uncharted territories, allowing for a deeper connection between the viewer and the image.
Minimalism, the art of simplicity and reduction, has taken the creative world by storm. Negative space serves as a chief ally in the pursuit of minimalistic aesthetics. By skillfully utilizing emptiness, you can elevate the impact of the subjects in your stock photos. The absence of excessive visual elements allows the focal point to shine boldly, enabling viewers to appreciate the purity and elegance of the subject matter. It evokes a sense of tranquility, of calmness, bringing a breath of fresh air to your artistic endeavors.
Conveying Concepts and Symbolism
Empty spaces possess a deep reservoir of symbolic power. With their ethereal quality, they can be harnessed to convey a range of emotions, ideas, and concepts. Negative space can imply solitude, freedom, or even the passage of time. It adds layers of meaning to your stock photos, transforming them into visual stories that speak directly to the viewer’s soul. When skillfully employed, negative space transcends mere aesthetics, becoming a powerful tool to communicate and evoke emotions.
Achieving Balance and Harmony
Balance is the key to captivating photography. Incorporating negative space helps establish a sense of equilibrium within your compositions. It allows for a natural ebb and flow, creating a harmonious interplay between objects and empty areas. Just as silence enhances music, negative space enhances the impact of your stock photos. It draws attention to the intentional pauses in your visual narrative and accentuates the significance of the elements present. With a delicate balance, your images will resonate with viewers and evoke a sense of beauty, serenity, and grace.
Negative space is more than just empty areas in stock photography. It is a gateway to boundless creativity, a means to convey profound concepts, and an invitation for viewers to participate in the story told by your images. By embracing the enigmatic allure of negative space, you can unlock a world of charm and captivate the hearts and minds of your audience. Let your compositions breathe, and watch as the magic of empty spaces unfolds before your lens.

For this week’s limited palette design challenge from Spoonflower has me loosing up and creating a more abstract pattern in Goldenrod, Living Coral (Pantone’s Color of the Year), Midnight Blue, and a Light Gray. I created all of these shapes in Procreate and altered them into a pattern in photoshop. I love the way I have been able to add procreate and my iPad to my latest patterns to add a lot of authentic looking texture with better color control and speed. These patterns loosely represent the weather in the sky with a lot of texture and randomized brush strokes for a more modern feel.
If you like this pattern please vote at Spoonflower this week, or check out the other palettes at Redbubble, Society6, and Casetify. I have decided to work from an overall color palette in 2019 to make my work more cohesive. Let me know which palette is your favorite.

Swansea City centre-back Kyle Bartley will aim to press his case for a dream appearance at Wembley – by stopping the nightmare that is Luis Suarez.
But Bartley insists neither he nor his team-mates will be afraid of the Anfield challenge when they take on Suarez and company on Sunday.
The Swans head to Liverpool this weekend in their final fixture before London calls for the Capital One Cup final.
While eyes have begun to dart towards the club’s first major final already, this game in itself has plenty of significance.
A win – as they managed in the Capital One Cup on their way to setting up the February 24 final with Bradford City – would put Swansea on the safety-assuming points tally of 40, the figure historically associated with staying in the Premier League.
Plus there is the matter of a certain Brendan Rodgers sitting in the home dug-out.
But for Bartley there could well be the opportunity to showcase why he should start against Bradford in the absence of ankle injury victim Chico Flores.
Manager Michael Laudrup looks to have a straight choice between former Arsenal youngster Bartley and club captain Garry Monk both for this weekend and the next.
It means whoever gets the nod on Merseyside must use the prospect of shackling outstanding Uruguay hitman Suarez as a means of proving their Wembley point.
But, despite admitting the difficulties and dangers of marking the all-action 17-goal frontman, summer signing Bartley says he won’t shirk the challenge.
“You can’t give him too much space,” said Bartley of Suarez, the 21-year-old having made his first Premier League appearance when he replaced Chico 34 minutes into the 4-1 over Queens Park Rangers last weekend.
“All he needs is half a yard to get a shot off or to cause a bit of damage.
“He’s a nightmare for a defender and besides all that has happened with him, if you strip it down, he’s an amazing footballer.
“He’s a 100 per cent guy every game and has amazing ability.
“You would have to be on your game against him, but so will everyone because they are a good team.
“Suarez is not the only player we will have to keep an eye on. Look at the players around him like Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge, who are equally dangerous. It will be a difficult game.”
With Swansea holed up – albeit luxuriously – in Dubai, few clues have made it back to South Wales as to what Laudrup is planning for either Brendan or the Bantams in terms of his defenders.
Bartley has impressed in his cup cameos so far, looking a defender of real prospect, while there is the ever-reliable experience and superb organisational skills of mainstay Monk.
Chico, though, looks increasingly unlikely to make a recovery from the ankle ligament damage suffered during a fall in the QPR win.
The Dane admitted the news of that loss was the only dampener in beating bedraggled Rangers, the victory inching Swansea towards that 40-point mark which would surely see any minor lingering doubts over a third term of Premier League football disappear.
But Bartley insists there will be no easing up after the warm weather preparation overseas.
“It’s good for team bonding,” Bartley said of the week-long trip to the Emirates.
“There are a lot of new lads that have come in and we can get to know each other more.
“It will be great to spend some time with each other, train and relax after a hectic couple of weeks.
“But it will also get us ready for the games ahead, starting with Liverpool which, like every game in the Premier League, is another massive match.
“We don’t feel safe yet, we need to keep going and progress.
“And it would be nice to take a bit of confidence from that going into the final.
“We expect a tough game, it always is at Anfield.”
But, having already racked up wins at some of the big clubs and grand stages of the top flight on their way to one of the best away records in the division, Bartley is in confident food.
He said: “We can take confidence from the previous win there and we’ve also been to Newcastle and Chelsea and got positive results.
“There isn’t anything to be afraid of.
“We will go there, play our own game and hopefully get a positive result.
“We’re not afraid of anyone in the league. Over the last five or six months the boys have been terrific and I don’t think the boys have played any game and been afraid.
“We will match Liverpool and it should be a good game.”

Well I have been busy creating yet another ‘shaped’ card and this time I thought I would try a handbag. I have done a lot of 3D handbags over the last couple of years but had yet to try making just a card. So as October is a very busy birthday month for me I decided that I needed a new and exciting card to give to my girlfriends. They have seen most of my existing creations and even make them for their friends so I really did need to do something I had not done before and this is the result!
At first I wasn’t going to make a template but after a fair few hours of ‘playing’ with the design, I was just having sooo much fun that I thought you might like to have a ‘play’ with this one for yourself. So pop over to my ‘Tutorials‘ page if you are interested. Below are just some of those that I have created from this template. I have a few details on each one just so you can see what I have used.
River Rock and Island Indigo using the Style 1 front with the variation top and and bottom panel. Some embossing and a ribbon slider for embellishing.
This is the Style 2 bag cut from Comfort Cafe DSP. The extra embellishment on the lapels is a itty bitty label punch shape. The logo bar in the middle is made using the ticket punch.
Soft Suede and Midnight Muse colour combination with a little stamping using the image from the Creative Elements stamp set. The handle is attached with a little ribbon and some jewelry fines.
Real Red Polka Dot DSP is just so cute! This is mostly using the Style 1 elements, the only difference is this has the Style 2 handle attached.
This is the Style 1 front and it is embossed and spritz with a little Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint. The lapels and corners are from the Style 2 handbag and they are cut from some Brushed Gold card stock.
A really simple black bag with just the top panel embossed with clear embossing powder to give it a shine! Adding a row of rhinestones and a new Vintage Faceted Button for that finishing touch. You can even just use ribbon to create handles if you like.
This is the variation top and bottoms for Style 1 and a Stampin’ Up! ribbon slide finished off the bag perfectly. The variation handle is attached at the back and secured with brads.
Midnight Muse and Early Expression makes a lovely colour combination. Some stamping with the Mixed Bunch Stamp Set, a little paper piercing and you are done.
The possible combinations of colours, elements and embellishments for these cards is almost endless and just like my High Heel card I really hope you enjoy making your very own! Here is the video on how they go together.
Can’t wait to see your recreations!
