Introduction to the Ice Hack Scam
The Alpilean or Himalayan Ice Hack Diet is a weight loss supplement that claims to use an alpine ice hack to help people lose weight. According to its proponents, the supplement increases core body temperature, which in turn boosts metabolism and helps burn fat. The supplement contains various natural ingredients, including ginger, turmeric, and fucoxanthin, which are said to promote weight loss.
Despite these claims, the Alpilean Ice Hack Diet is a scam. Any scientific evidence does not back the supplement, and the claims made by its promoters are false. In fact, the supplement is potentially dangerous and could cause harm to those who take it.
In this article, we will explore why the Ice Hack Diet is a scam. We will examine the claims made by the promoters of the supplement and provide evidence to show that they are false. We will also discuss the potential dangers of the supplement and provide tips on spotting and avoiding weight loss scams.
Lack of Scientific Evidence
The Himalayan Ice Hack Diet claims to be a revolutionary way to help people lose weight by increasing their internal body temperature. However, there is a lack of scientific evidence to support these claims. While the diet may contain natural ingredients, that doesn't necessarily mean it is safe or effective.
Believing in pseudoscientific claims can be dangerous as it can lead people to take potentially harmful supplements or follow unsafe diets. It's important to rely on scientific evidence and peer-reviewed studies when making decisions about our health.
Weight loss is a complex process and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Rather than relying on a fad diet with unproven claims, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can provide evidence-based recommendations tailored to individual needs and health goals.
An Analysis of the Ingredients
While the ingredients in the Himalayan Weight Loss Supplement, such as ginger, turmeric, African mango seeds, moringa leaves, fucoxanthin, and citrus bioflavonoids, are often marketed as weight loss aids, there is little scientific evidence to support these claims. Ginger and turmeric may have anti-inflammatory properties but have not been proven to aid in weight loss. African mango seeds and moringa leaves are touted as appetite suppressants and metabolism boosters, but limited research supports these claims. Fucoxanthin, a pigment found in seaweed, has been shown to have some potential for weight loss in animal studies, but there is limited evidence to support its effectiveness in humans. Citrus bioflavonoids are antioxidants found in citrus fruits, but no evidence suggests they aid in weight loss.
Additionally, each of these ingredients are easily acquired at very cheap prices, yet they are charging upwards of $20 to $60 per bottle for ingredients that would cost $2.50 at the grocery store.
The scam of this supplement company lies in the fact that they are marketing these ingredients as a miracle weight loss solution without any scientific evidence to support their claims. They are preying on people's desire to lose weight quickly and easily, without putting in the effort required for sustainable weight loss. By using deceptive marketing tactics and fake testimonials, they are selling a product that is unlikely to deliver the results they promise, while potentially causing harm to people's health.
Deceptive marketing tactics
The Himalayan Ice Hack Diet uses deceptive marketing tactics to lure people into buying their product. The company uses fake testimonials and before-and-after photos to convince people that their product is effective. However, these testimonials and photos are often digitally altered to make them look more convincing. This type of deceptive marketing can mislead people and cause them to spend money on a product that does not work.
Digital alteration is a common practice in the weight loss industry. Photos are often manipulated to make the subject look thinner or more toned. This can give people unrealistic expectations of what they can achieve with the product. It is important to be aware of these tactics and not to believe everything you see.
It is essential to do your research and rely on scientific evidence when evaluating weight loss products. Don't be swayed by fake testimonials or before-and-after photos. Look for studies that have been published in reputable scientific journals. Be cautious of products that make bold claims without any evidence to support them.
Deceptive marketing tactics used by the Himalayan Ice Hack Diet can mislead people and cause them to spend money on a product that does not work.
Potential harm to health
The Himalayan Ice Hack Diet not only lacks scientific evidence and relies on deceptive marketing tactics, but it can also potentially harm your health.
Firstly, the diet recommends consuming large amounts of ice, which can harm your teeth and throat. Chewing ice can cause microcracks in your teeth, leading to dental problems such as tooth sensitivity, chipping, and even tooth fractures. Moreover, the cold temperature of the ice can cause constriction of blood vessels in the throat, leading to soreness and inflammation.
Secondly, the diet's restrictions on food groups can lead to nutrient deficiencies, which can have serious health consequences. By limiting your food intake to only ice and a few other items, you may not be getting enough essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that your body needs to function properly. Nutrient deficiencies can weaken your immune system, increase your risk of diseases, and negatively impact your mental health.
It's crucial to prioritize your health over weight loss and to choose a diet that is balanced and sustainable. Quick fixes and fad diets may seem tempting, but they can do more harm than good in the long run.
In conclusion, the Himalayan Ice Hack Diet is a scam that preys on people's desire to lose weight quickly and easily. There is no scientific evidence to support the claims made by this diet, and believing in pseudoscientific claims can be dangerous. The deceptive marketing tactics used by the creators of this diet, including fake testimonials and before-and-after photos, are designed to mislead people. Moreover, consuming large amounts of ice can harm teeth and throat, and the diet can lead to nutrient deficiencies. It is important to prioritize health over weight loss and rely on evidence-based methods for weight loss. In summary, avoid the Himalayan Ice Hack Diet and instead seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional or registered dietitian for safe and effective weight loss strategies.

Tamberlyn Richardson (Thunderous Intentions) on Joel Embiid’s maturation process (after posting a picture of him dunking on Westbrook post-loss): “His peers voted Kristaps Porzingis ahead of him to start in the All-Star Game, so either they feel the unicorn was more deserving, or they take issue with his trolling. Both players are exceptional, but it’s doubtful a majority of GMs would pick Porzingis before Embiid, unless they think he’d be a better chemistry fit.”
I don’t think LaLa Anthony will be signing a long-term contract in Oklahoma City.
Jamie Cooper (Dime Magazine) interviews Paul George on a wide variety of subjects: “But honestly, he doesn’t take anything. It’s a natural energy that he has. He’s just an energetic guy, from practices to playing games. I knew who he was as a competitor, but he wants to win at all costs, and he goes hard like that every day. So, it’s great to be alongside a guy like that.” Continue reading NTTB Rumblings – 30 January 2018
Happy Thunder’s Eve. Prayers out to Gordon Hayward. Wishing a speedy recovery for him.
Royce Young (ESPN) on recent 2-way contract recipient P.J. Dozier showing up to his first Thunder practice wearing a familiar jersey number: “It was an unusual sight walking into the Oklahoma City Thunder’s practice facility Tuesday and seeing No. 35 on the wing, attempting 3-pointers with assistant coach Vin Bhavnani. No, Kevin Durant was not visiting his old stomping grounds. It was the Thunder’s newest signing, undrafted rookie P.J. Dozier, who signed to a two-way contract Tuesday.”
Tony Heim (Thunderous Intentions) on Billy Donovan figuring out the rotation through a hypothetical conversation with Sam Presti: “This season is different though Billy. We can’t be a four-seed, we can’t play Golden State in the second round. We need to make the Conference Finals to convince PG and Melo to stay. That’s why I brought you in here today.” Continue reading Daily Thunder Rumblings – 18 Oct 2017
Sports Illustrated picked which teams they thought would be the biggest flops in the NBA this season: “But there are still a bunch of open questions. Is Westbrook wired to balance his own exceptional scoring and playmaking with the pure distributing skills that are needed to fully involve George and Anthony? Is Anthony willing to scale back his ball-stopping and turn up his defensive intensity in a new role? Is George, who openly demanded every important shot in the 2017 playoffs for Indiana, willing to regularly take a backseat in crunch time? Can these three talented scorers find ways to make each other, and their limited supporting cast, better? Or, do their skills prove to be redundant enough to hold back Oklahoma City’s overall offensive efficiency?”
Victor Galvez of Clutch Points says the Rockets/Thunder preseason game was the most watched preseason game since 2011.
Kevin O’Connor (The Ringer) looks at how the Thunder will play with a Big 3 in tow: “After Thunder general manager Sam Presti pulled off a miracle by trading for both Paul George and Carmelo Anthony this offseason, Westbrook now has teammates worth sharing with. Like Westbrook, both George and Anthony have experienced their share of playoff disappointments. They know the burden of trying to build a winner without another superstar on their side. “Honestly, in this league, it’s hard to [win] alone. Russ averages a triple-double and couldn’t get out of the first round,” George said at Thunder media day. “You just need guys of that stature and that level to be able to help and create something special.” Continue reading Daily Thunder Rumblings – 05 Oct 2017
Player Rankings: 16-20
We continue the NTTB Rank with the players that I think should be on the Thunder’s 15-man roster. Because of contract situations, this is not likely how the roster will shake out. But, in a vacuum, these are the 15 best players on the roster from here on out.

Is it just me or, after a furious start, is this off-season starting to snail-crawl now? Is it October yet? Here are your Rumblings….
It’s official: Michael Winger is now the GM of the Los Angeles Clippers: “The Clippers offered Winger the job late last week, and the sides have agreed on terms for a multiyear contract. Winger, an assistant general manager/team counsel for the Thunder, will report to Lawrence Frank, the Clippers’ new president of basketball operations.”
The Thunder are better positioned now to replace lost front office personnel: “General manager Sam Presti has been here before. Winger will be the third executive under Presti to leave for a general manager job, joining Rich Cho, who went to Portland in 2010 and Rob Hennigan, who went to Orlando in 2012. Both those GMs were fired, but Cho now is general manager in Charlotte.” Continue reading Daily Thunder Rumblings – 24 August 2017
My readers, you guys are awesome. Make sure you spread the word about the site. Here are the Rumblings:
Thunderous Intentions predicts Russell Westbrook’s 2K rating: “We can use last year as a measuring stick. Westbrook had a 93 rating last year and that was before the season he had. So this year, he deserves something in the ballpark of a 97 because LeBron James, who is well known to be the best player in league, has that rating. Westbrook was the best player this season, and that should grant him a 97. Westbrook showed that he was the complete player. He put up double digits in rebounds and assists along with averaging 30 points a game for the season. It all totaled up to averaging a triple-double for the season. Westbrook should be a straight up beast in this game, at least for this year.”
Paul George loves Indiana, but he will likely receive a little of the Kevin Durant treatment when he returns there on December 13th. Continue reading Daily Thunder Rumblings – 17 August 2017
It’s the day of Thor. Where’s my hammer? Here are the Rumblings.
Nooooooo!!!!!! We all knew this day would come, but it still feels weird: “Have the Thunder’s ’Stache Bros been reduced to an only child? That was the indication on Thursday, when one half of Oklahoma City’s mustachioed duo, Enes Kanter, posted a Twitter picture of teammate Steven Adams sporting a clean-shaven face (though still with his trademark long hair). Assuming it’s a current photo, Kanter is a solo Bro.”
It’s official: The Thunder will play in their first neutral site regular season game on foreign soil (not including Canada): “We’re excited to be asked to participate in the NBA Mexico City Games 2017 as the NBA expands its global reach,” Thunder general manager Sam Presti said in a statement. “As we enter only our 10th season of Thunder Basketball in Oklahoma City, we feel incredibly fortunate that our team and fan base will get to experience our first regular-season game abroad.” Continue reading Daily Thunder Rumblings – 10 August 2017
It’s the first of the month, wake up, wake up, wake up…..Here are the Rumblings for Tuesday.
Is Oklahoma City on the cusp of being the next superteam: “James will once again be a free agent in 2018, and we’ve learned our lesson: Be prepared for anything. It’s time to start sketching the free agency possibilities now and try to map out where the next superteams will be. So, who is most likely to assemble the next powerhouse to challenge the reigning-champ Golden State Warriors? Joining up with ESPN’s Bobby Marks with an eye toward 2018 free agency, we look at the three primary models to building a superteam. This list looks beyond current contenders Cleveland, Houston and Oklahoma City — each of whom already has at least two superstars — to the next generation of potential superteams.”
An article looking at Dakari Johnson being a worthwhile investment: “For starters, Johnson has been developing nicely in the Thunder’s pipeline. He has played three seasons in the Summer League with Oklahoma City and in two G-League seasons. Each year he has shown growth and development, especially offensively. Playing for some loaded Kentucky teams, Johnson never had much of a chance to showcase his talents and flourish. But once he joined the Thunder’s organization, that changed. Johnson increased his scoring output from 12.3 points per game in his first season with the Oklahoma City Blue of the G League to 18.5 per game this past season.” Continue reading Daily Thunder Rumblings – 01 August 2017
Hello new week. Let’s get this thing going. Here is Monday’s edition of DTR…
The Thunder signed UCLA guard Bryce Alford. The deal is likely a training camp invite.
Russell Westbrook was rumored to be playing in the Drew League against former teammate James Harden. Instead, he was at Disney Land with his new teammate, Noah Westbrook: “Westbrook even brought baby Noah, who despite being a few months old has been a major part of the Westbrook family’s travels this offseason. Westbrook took his newborn son to Paris back in June. Westbrook was reportedly supposed to play in the Drew League on Sunday night against a team which featured Chris Paul and James Harden. If Westbrook has enough energy to play pickup basketball after a day at a hot amusement park, he truly has a non-stop motor.” Continue reading Daily Thunder Rumblings – 31 July 2017

For Immediate Release
Greensboro, NC - Today Rep. Jon Hardister (R-Guilford) filed to run for reelection to the NC House. Hardister said that his passion for public service was a primary factor in his decision to seek reelection. He also cited a successful track record of problem solving and providing constituent services as reasons for seeking another term in office.
"It would be an honor to continue serving the citizens of Guilford County," Hardister said. "As a legislator I have focused on solving problems, increasing government efficiency and providing good constituent services. I would be humbled by the opportunity to continue working to move North Carolina in a positive direction."
Hardister has passed numerous bills during his first two terms in office. He has passed bills that reduce regulations on small businesses, protect school choice and enhance child identity protection. He has also supported efforts to reform North Carolina's tax code, control state spending and promote efficiency in government operations.
"North Carolina is now one of the most business-friendly states in the nation," Hardister said. "We have reformed our tax code, kept state debt low and invested responsibly in the core services of government. It is important that we continue working to strengthen our economy and provide citizens with more opportunity to succeed."
In addition to his track record, Hardister cited his work ethic and political independence as attributes to warrant his reelection.
"Although I remain dedicated to conservative principles, I do not make decisions based on partisan politics," Hardister said. "The decisions that I make are based on what I believe is in the best interest of our citizens. I put a lot of effort into this job and I take it very seriously."
Hardister, who was first elected to the NC House in 2012, will be seeking his third term in office.


very poorly ran business, no communication, failure to complete project, delivery of inferior product
****She has changed this from Bottoms Up Dock, Piling, and Marine Restoration to simply Up.
If I could leave 0 or negative stars I would. Bottoms Up Dock, Piling, and Marine Restoration out of Pass Christian MS, Judy Maxwell and David Henderson took $5500 dollars from me for a boat lift project, It was almost impossible to contact them after I gave them the money. The text message responses were always the same " Its on the way". 10 weeks later, , when they did finally respond to my email , the so called "owner" said I was harassing her. I contacted the BBB on them and still nothing. She just claimed more harassment. Contacting the BBB is not harassment in my book. One day out of the blue she dropped off an inferior lift to the one we agreed upon when I was not home. She claimed this is what was agreed upon. The lift I was supposed to get was a 7000lb aluminum lift with a stainless steel motor and 3 sets of aluminum bunks for a tritoon boat, instead she "dropped" off what looks like a used galvanized lift. The motor and gears are rusted. The lift she dropped off is a 4000lb galvanized lift and the cradle is only 9ft wide. My boat is 8'10" wide so there is no way it will work. she claimed the lift she left was top of the line and for me to quit contacting her. I contacted the lift manufacturer "American Power Hoist". He has no record of her or her fiance. ever buying a lift from them. the manufacturer put me in touch with his distributor for this part of the country. He says he only sold them 1 lift and that was in February of 2019 (before I had an agreement with them) but none since then. He feels they probable bought it off ebay ,amazon, or some local shop. The lift they left (according to distributor) retails for $1500 and that includes delivery. She claims its a $5500 lift and refuses discuss the matter. She has deleted her website, instagram, and facebook. Now I have to waste my time seeking legal action, but I am going to to the full extent of the law. I simply want my $5500 back and to call it a day. It is my opinion they have no clue what they are doing and if I lived on the MS Gulf Coast I would stay away from them if you have any marine needs

text: Jablanac is a small place, which may have missed our attention in geography class, but it definitely deserves it. If for no other reason, it is because it is a series of houses in a small semicircular bay on the shores of the Velebit Channel, which marks the mainland spot, closest to the island of Rab. If you are thinking of renting an apartment, room or holiday house in Jablanac, you will not go wrong if you are looking for a quiet harbor, ideal for a family vacation. Jablanac has only 83 inhabitants today, but it has a shop and a restaurant to enjoy local dishes. Former ferry port for the island of Rab is a quiet harbor nowadays with clear sea near the protected landscape Zavratnica. Jablanac has a turbulent history - it was first mentioned in the 12th century, and we can still find the ruins of the free royal town of Jablanić from the 13th century on the hill above Jablanac. It does not have the geo-strategic power of past centuries, but Jablanac of today has the soul of the junction of the Adriatic and Velebit, so many are happy to return to its peace and charming streets.

Sony has unveiled three new mobile devices at Mobile World Congress 2014: the Xperia Z2 and Xperia M2 smartphones and the Xperia Z2 Tablet.
The Xperia M2 is a new mid-range model, while the Xperia Z2 Tablet is Sony’s new top of the range 10.1in slate.
Likewise, we had a chance to play with the Xperia Z2 Tablet too, and you’ll find our hands-on on that here.
Xperia M2: high-end features for mid-range price
But what of the Xperia M2? Well, as we say it’s a mid-range model (Sony hasn’t revealed the price, but says it will be “affordable”) but offers some decidedly impressive specs, at least on paper: there’s a quad-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 CPU, 4.8in qHD screen, 4G LTE, and an 8MP Exmor RS camera. There’ll also be a dual-SIM variant of the M2 named, appropriately enough, the Xperia M2dual. This model is available in 3G only.
Sony says the Xperia M2 will be available worldwide from April 2014.

“Just Can’t Get Enough” is probably the most iconic Depeche Mode songfrom the 80s. To everyone’s surprise, Joon released a modern cover of this memorable hit. But that is not all, the Muppets-inspired music video is what truly screams nostalgia.
First of all, it’s so refreshing to hear this track with female vocals. Joon provides her own touch as a singer while the contemporary arrangements under the Italians Do It Better seal exceeds expectations. If the catchy cover in question doesn’t make you dance, then there’s something seriously wrong with you.
Similarly, a rich spectrum of vintage-esque synths and drums are present on Joon’s debut album, ‘Dream Again.‘ Her velvety singing voice across a sparking blend of poppy and electronic textures sounds literally out of this world. Original pieces such as “Good Times,” and “Wait” will grab your attention in a matter of seconds.
“Just Can’t Get Enough” is my favorite Depeche Mode song but I totally understand sometimes covers are not welcome by die-hard fans of the band. Nevertheless, I assure you this is not the case.
Joon brings you a joyful version accompanying by fun visuals that won’t disappoint you at all.

Brits lie about books. Have you ever done this? "Two out of three Britons have lied about reading books they have not, and George Orwell's 1984 tops the literary fib list" This is according to survey carried out by the organisers of World Book Day.
World Book Day was held on the 5th of March and is the annual celebration of reading in Britain. Although it's over their website still has some interesting info on it.
There are some fantastic and very strange book titles out on our shelves at the moment as publishers and authors come up with new and interesting ways to hook the reader. So of course there has to be an award somewhere for the oddest book title each year. For details of the 2009 winner view this article Cheese wins...

Another New Zealand who has taken her own unique path to glory is former netballer and our latest cycling star Alison Shanks. After her gold medal ride at the world champs yesterday, early this morning she just failed to make it two titles when the womens team pursuit was edged by Britain and finished with a silver medal. Cycling is a growing and popular sport and recreation in New Zealand, with many different forms, so to find out more about it carry out a catalogue subject search.
And we finish of the week with the news (hopefully confirmed soon) that former Prime Minister Helen Clark's path to glory is leading her to the United Nations post (check out the Dominion Post report here). The unauthorised biography by Ian Wishart, Absolute Power is still proving popular amongst Rodney readers so you will need to put a request in if you want to read it. In the meantime for a touch of the humour and satire only Kiwis can manage, try On the conditions and possibilities of Helen Clark taking me as her young lover (Richard Meros).

The arrival of the nurse with the flu injections for 2009 together with mornings cold enough to require a sweatshirt on my morning walks confirmed that winter is just around the corner. Personally I don't do the flu jab, not because of any deep philosophical aversion to vaccinations, but simply because it makes me feel grotty (technical term) for about a month. I know the annual flu injections help thousands of people every year.
If you want to know more about the debate on vaccinations, head to our Health books in our non-fiction section. Just a Little Prick is the title of a book by Peter & Hilary Butler which presents the anti-vaccination argument in a New Zealand setting. You could spend some time in the health section gathering information on how to help yourself withstand all those winter germs or (if you do fall victim) how to relieve the suffering. We have books here on both conventional medical drugs, as well as a wide range of alternative therapies. Health is on our non-fiction shelves from Dewey number (referred to in our catalogue as the Call number) 610 to 619.
Nothing is more upsetting than a sick child. We have plenty of books on your Baby and Toddler, including how to deal with an ill baby or infant. Look on our nonfiction shelves in the parenting section - number 649.

"Based on recorded historical events from the diaries of a young lieutenant named William Dawes, Grenville has invented a man of science who forms a friendship with a young aboriginal girl. Her lieutenant is an inhibited, matter-of-fact man who is not at ease with his fellow man (or woman). The girl is confident, outgoing and bright. The colony and settlement of Sydney is new, the rules are tight with little leeway for interaction with the Aborigines especially with the language barrier. Grenville’s lieutenant has become fascinated by the make-up of this language and in a purely scientific manner sets out to understand it and put it into a written form. His young friend assists by having her own interest in the astronomical work he is carrying out as an excuse to stay out of camp. However, the way ahead does not run smoothly.
Although Grenville admits to stretching time and events to suit her work of fiction, there is a solid base to her story. She weaves a sense of the times in this very new settlement and the armed forces’ first interactions with the indigenous peoples. Grenville’s earlier novel The Secret River is also based in early Sydney. She has rapidly become an author whose novels I am very much enjoying not the least for them being Australian stories."

Earth Hour 2009 promises to be one of the biggest environmental mass movements ever. In 2008, 50 million people switched off their lights as part of the event. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome ’s Colosseum, and the Sydney Opera House were plunged into darkness.
In 2008, 63% of residents in Christchurch city took part in Earth Hour and a 13% energy reduction was achieved during the hour. In 2009, Earth Hour is coming to Rodney. Rodney District Council will be participating by switching off the lights at all Council offices and libraries.
You can be a part of this event too by switching your lights off between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on March 28. You might want to do something memorable like having a candlelight dinner or going for a walk to look at the stars. Or even telling ghost stories by torchlight!
In the longer term you can reduce your energy consumption by an average of 10% by switching off appliances on standby such as mobile phone chargers, TVs or computer monitors. That one small change can make a real difference to your power bill.

British Library mislays 9,000 books "More than 9,000 books are missing from the British Library, including Renaissance treatises on theology and alchemy, a medieval text on astronomy, first editions of 19th- and 20th-century novels, and a luxury edition of Mein Kampf produced in 1939 to celebrate Hitler's 50th birthday. The library believes almost all have not been stolen but rather mislaid among its 650km of shelves and 150m items – although some have not been seen in well over half a century. "

Get ready (or should that be reading) for the next round of Vamp Lit as the TV series "True Blood" hits our screens on Wednesday night on Prime TV. New Zealand's Anna Pacquin recently won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of the lead character in this series and with the "Twilight" books and movie having ignited this genre into a frenzy, there is sure to be quite an audience on Wednesday night.
TRUE BLOOD the TV series is based on a set of books by Charlaine Harris called The Sookie Stackhouse book series (or sometimes The Southern Vampire Mysteries).
The books in order of publication are:
Book 1 Dead until Dark
Book 2 Living Dead in Dallas
Book 3 Club Dead
Book 4 Dead to the World
Book 5 Dead as a Doornail
Book 6 Definitely Dead
Book 7 All Together Dead
Book 8 From Dead to Worse
Charlaine Harris is also the author of the Harper Connelly series as well as other titles in our Rodney catalogue. I haven't managed to get my hands on one of her books yet to road test it, but it certainly sounds like something that will be popular.

So, what's on?
The highlight surely has to be the Youth Day Out on Saturday at the Hibiscus Coast Youth Centre, 214 Hibiscus Coast Highway as blogged on Wednesday. Skate comps, music and dance workshops, DJs with a BBQ and movie to finish.
The Auckland Festival New Zealand Post Family Weekend is on at the Aotea Square in Auckland this weekend. A fun-filled two days of events for kids and their adults, many of which will be free. Wolves, puppets, a giant unfolding truck and tall tales...
Of course the Kumeu Show is on too. It's apparently the largest show in the Southern hemisphere with all the fun of a traditional A&P show. It's chock full of things to see and do, from animals to wood chopping to vegetables to trade stands. (My personal favourite is the sentence that cheerily reads "Food Galore!!") Look out for Tina from Kumeu Library on the scarecrow stand.
On Sunday Dairy Flat hosts the fifth annual Hibiscus Coast Hospice Country Home & Garden Tour. Ten magnificant homes plus one beautiful garden are on the agenda.
Have a lovely weekend.

So far I have shown my age checking out the audio show in the village store, done a tour of the Te Papa marae and checked out the giant squid. They are having a few problems with the squid at present and are having to change over the solution that he is being preserved in. But rather than shut the exhibit away to do that, they have just put a barrier around and you can still view both the squid and how the museum works. That's the kind of place this is.
I'd love to be able to upload some of my photos so far, but it's not that sort of computer so you will have to wait until I get back. On my travels so far I have been to the West Coast, where I found it was almost possible to eat too much whitebait, met some great children's librarians plus authors Joy Cowley, James Roy and our very own Rodney storyteller Stu Duval at the South Island Children's Librarians Conference and then had a couple of days off in Christchurch at the New Zealand Dressage Champs (just supporting).
And don't let anyone say anything about the weather down here. It has been glorious virtually the whole time.
The workshops will teach participants how to turn kitchen waste into nutrient-rich fertiliser for productive gardens and strong, healthy plants.
If you can’t make one of the workshops, drop into one of our advice centres where experts will be on hand to answer all your composting questions.
Due to popular demand, if you would like to attend one of the hall or community centre workshops, please book in advance by contacting us on 0800 426 5169 or via email email@example.com

Repeatedly in music from Psychopathic Records (Abbreviated as PR from here on out.), some very noxious themes pop up. It’s important to understand what I’m talking about when I mention them. In no particular order:
misogyny: 1. hatred of women; prejudice against female persons. 2. bigotry against women. It is “manifested in numerous ways, including sexual discrimination, denigration of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification of women” (Wikipedia entry). The mildest form of this in PR’s music is calling women “bitches”, “hos”, “sluts”, etc; the most extreme forms encompass the gleeful murder, torture, and rape of women (usually justified by slut-shaming).
rape: 1. a form of assault involving the non-consensual use of the sexual organs of another person’s body. 2. the coercion of another person into providing one with sexual gratification. As rape is the ultimate affront to human dignity, I usually highlight it separately from misogyny for emphasis.
homophobia: antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, irrational fear, hatred, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals. ICP’s material includes gems like dissing people for being “faggots”, beating up a man for coming onto them, and killing a kid for being gay.
“Perpetuates harmful stereotypes of mental illness.”: Schizophrenia is a serious organic brain disorder. It’s not being a ‘twisted serial killin’ juggalo’. Depression and schizophrenia are two entirely different things. Schizophrenia and psychopathy are two entirely different things. Psychopathy and depression are two entirely different things. PR artists are too uneducated to make these vital distinctions in their lyrics, and instead promote the idea that psychosis, mood disorders, extreme violence, and serial killing all go together. The negative impact of this is twofold: the general population fears and stigmatizes mental illness more, and the mentally ill internalize the idea that they should be violent and are inherently bad.
pseudo-Christianity: using symbols and concepts from the Christian religion in a completely shallow, hypocritical way while displaying no real understanding of its scripture. Examples include the Dark Carnival and Mormonism.
quasi-mysticism: feel-good bullshit or a pathetic attempt to sound ooky-spooky, usually laced with vague, plastic spiritual concepts, irrationality, and cultural appropriation.
glorifies or sympathizes with gangbanging: I point this out only because it contradicts the common juggalo refrain that they’re “not a gang”, “have nothing to do with gangs”, and anti-juggalo people “should focus on real bad guys – like gangs”. The truth is that ICP started out as a self-styled gang and present a very sympathetic picture of gang life, and that many juggalos take that as encouragement to act as a gang themselves.
stereotyping Southerners / knocking the rebel flag: Personally I would shit on a Confederate flag given the opportunity. The reason I point out this feature of ICP’s lyrics is because it makes all the juggalos out there who use the Confederate flag (and there are plenty) look even dumber. Stereotyping southerners not only makes ICP total hypocrites for ever having signed Boondox to their label, it also pisses in the faces of juggalos who have “Southern pride”.
COMMENT ON LITERACY
The misspelled or misused words, as well as many of the made-up words, are only pointed out because they are another consistent set of evidence of ICP’s illiteracy and general intellectual laziness. I omitted as much slang as I could stand to. The fake word “neden” is highlighted because of how sad it is that two grown men can’t use the words “pussy”, “vagina”, “twat”, etc when discussing female genitalia, and are too uncreative to use metaphors for it.
Need me to spell out another term or issue? Request it by commenting below.

Blogging come from as early as 2021, when blog writer started to be referred to as blogs, for “blogs.” A blog is basically a conversation or merely educational site published on the net including generally distinct, typically casual journal-style text entrances. Blog sites are normally presented backwards chronological order, with the latest message showing up on top of the web page, typically in blue. This is an easy way to discriminate in between a public blog and also a private blog.
Nowadays, blog writing has become an enjoyable method to reveal oneself, make good friends, generate income, even market and sell items. Blog writing has actually developed to the degree where you can produce your own brand. The majority of effective businesses these days have their own blog writing visibility, as well as some of the most significant companies online have entire departments or perhaps whole websites devoted to blog writing. A major change in the world of blog writing has occurred in the last few years, as companies and also online marketers realize how valuable blogging truly is as a marketing tool. Blogging not just helps develop trust fund amongst visitors, however blog sites give organizations an unique opportunity to reach out to a captive target market as well as produce integrity.
The reason blogging is currently being thought about by numerous successful Net marketing professionals and business owners as an essential advertising and marketing tool is because it offers them an one-of-a-kind chance to develop back links, which is what is required to rate high in the SERPs or Search Engine Outcome Pages. Backlinks are links to a particular webpage that directs a viewers back to the original website. Google has actually generated their very own actions to measure the quality of a web design, and also they make use of the Page Rank system to identify page one rankings. If you intend to place high on the SERPs, you need to make sure you obtain lots of back links.
Actually, if you intend to gain from blogging, you need to begin blogs yourself and also share details with your readers. There are lots of blog owners that do not know exactly how to establish a blog site, however when you do, you can benefit greatly from blogging. Beginning with a basic blog site that shares standard information with your visitors. As you attract extra visitors to your blog, you can start to upload to your blog more frequently as well as share additional details. You can then help others who are attempting to place high in the SERPs as well.
Another advantage of blogging is that it enables you to create a virtual friendship with your target market. As soon as you construct count on among your readers, you can make use of blogging to produce rate of interest in your site and various other services and products you provide online. For instance, if you are running a shopping web site selling various types of goods, including fashion jewelry, garments as well as various other products, you can utilize blogging to bring in viewers to your site. You can start a blog on subjects related to your organization as well as once you have brought in viewers to your blog site, you can inquire to leave feedback about the goods you offer, including an on-line evaluation of the products available for sale.
Some people view blogging as a time-consuming task. Nonetheless, it is a satisfying means to express on your own and connect with your close friends. In order to gain from this possibility, it is essential to create blog site material in a chronological order and share essential key words to ensure that internet search engine will be able to locate your posts.
Blogging is one of the extra noticeable brand-new means to spread the word regarding an organization or organization. With thousands of millions of blog sites drifting around on the Internet, it is not shocking that lots of firms are taking advantage of this potent medium to promote their product or service. Due to the fact that blog sites work on the exact same system as sites, they are able to utilize most of the same tactics and also methods to draw in potential consumers. However, in order to come to be successful, blog sites need to adhere to a couple of basic guidelines that can be used to draw web traffic and also advertise a company.
A blog site is just a composed item or discourse posted on the net, generally in reverse chronological order, outlining personal, usually anecdotal, experience on a specific subject. Blog posts are normally presented in reverse sequential order, which implies the most recent article goes to the top, complied with by older blog posts. This is perhaps one of the biggest differences in between blog writing as well as typical site blog writing. While both are basically online diaries, there are fundamental differences that set each in addition to one another.
In typical site blog writing, a writer generally has the capacity to permit his or her name to be uploaded together with the blog post. This enables a kind of marketing known as “backlinking” or “referring”. Back links are a way for the blog site’s host to guide readers back to the host’s site. For instance, if a blog owner wishes to promote his/her on the internet holiday company, he or she may include a link to the company’s site in the body of the article. In this way, the visitors will know that the holiday company is connected with the post and will certainly most likely click it when they are checking out the travel bureau’s web site.
While blogs are an excellent method for people to share their thoughts as well as experiences, there are times when bloggers require to use SEO to maximize their content. SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION, or seo, is the procedure of optimizing a blog site or a site to ensure that it will appear favorably during search engine searches. This is a crucial facet of blogging because without correct search engine optimization, readers will certainly be not able to find your blog site or site. As a result, a blog writer needs to always make certain that she or he consists of efficient SEO methods in his or her post.
Many individuals begin a blog to make money. Nevertheless, not everybody is successful. There are lots of bloggers who produce a blog for personal objectives and also do not utilize it to promote associate items or to generate alternate revenue. In order to succeed as a blog site writer and also blog owner to generate income, a blog writer requires to work hard to enhance his/her material so that it can draw in possible viewers. In order for a blog writer to maximize their web content, particularly in a particular niche where it is extremely affordable, the blog owner needs to employ the services of a professional SEO expert that can optimize the blog site for the greatest internet search engine positions. Click for info
One more advantage of blog writing is that it enables routine updates of the material as well as internet sites. This is necessary due to the fact that most blog visitors choose to frequently upgrade their favorite blog sites with brand-new information rather than updates which are only carried out occasionally. Blog writing is beneficial to both companies as well as consumers due to the fact that it gives the opportunity to connect vital issues and also concerns. Blogging permits visitors to upload questions and also comments, as well as it likewise allows company owner and also consumers to interact and engage with each other.

With life slowly resuming to pre-pandemic routines, some things aren’t so easy. While returning to offices is a relief for corporate leadership, it’s quite different for other business leaders. Managing emotional recovery and regaining the pre-pandemic momentum of business is a juggling act. Mental health decline, homesickness, old workplace stresses, etc., are issues that are surfacing everywhere and need to be addressed efficiently by managers. Focusing on effective communication, job security reaffirmation increased attention to staff pressures, and rewiring roles will definitely ease the transition. The informal networks that took shape during WFH can also be an asset.

Britain's top female judge has warned that the growth of unpaid internships is undermining efforts to improve diversity in the legal profession.
Baroness Hale, the deputy president of the Supreme Court, said the latest figures revealed a “startling leap” in the proportion of privately and Oxbridge educated lawyers.
It comes as a blow after previously successful efforts to improve access, she said.
In a speech in London, Lady Hale said one reason was the sharply rising cost of the university and law school training required to enter the profession.
But she also highlighted the role of unpaid work experience and internships in contributing to what she described as a “grim” and “very gloomy” trend.
The Yorkshire-born and state-educated judge, who remains the only woman on the Supreme Court bench, added that what was happening “was the opposite of everything that many people of my generation hoped for”.
Her comments came at the launch of a report on social mobility and diversity by the Young Legal Aid Lawyers group, warning that a “proliferation of unpaid work experience” is creating a “barrier” to social mobility.
Lady Hale said she was concerned that the “precipitous decline” in legal aid funding caused by Government cuts was forcing “diverse and socially mobile lawyers” from the profession as the “combination of a high-cost education and a low-paid career” became “more and more” of a deterrent.
She quoted figures showing nearly 40 per cent of pupil barristers were privately educated, with 35 per cent having studied at Oxbridge and 81 per cent from professional backgrounds.
“One of the causes of this, apart from all the networks that their parents have, is the prevalence of work experience and internships in today’s recruitment criteria,” she said.
“Diverse candidates find it much harder to get these, partly because they don’t have the contacts and partly because they can’t afford to work without pay for any length of time. All of this bothers me hugely.”
Lady Hale said she was also disturbed by the “greatly increased” number of law schools, law graduates and people qualifying as barristers and solicitors at a time when the number of jobs was going down.
“What is the point of all our outreach work with schools.. and similar initiatives by the professions.. if we tempt more and more young people to aspire to a legal career that most of them can never have,” she said.
Lady Hale also repeated her call for greater female representation in the highest ranks of the judiciary, saying that it would stifle the “casual sexism and racism” still afflicting the bench.Reuse content

BOSTON – The Patrick-Murray Administration’s Commissioner of Insurance Joseph G. Murphy has signed an agreement that holds workers’ compensation rates at current levels, saving businesses $65 million in proposed increases.
The agreement between the Workers’ Compensation Rating and Inspecting Bureau (WCRIB), the Division of Insurance’s State Rating Bureau, and the Attorney General’s Office holds rates at current levels until at least September 2012. The WCRIB had originally asked for an overall 6.6 percent increase.
“Our goal at the Division of Insurance is to make sure that these rates are fair, they protect workers, and that they do not overly burden employers,” said Commissioner Murphy. “This agreement does all of those things.”
Last year, an agreement with WCRIB cut overall rates 2.4 percent, instead of increasing them 4.5 percent as originally requested. That agreement also saved approximately $65 million in annual workers’ compensation insurance premiums. Traditionally, WCRIB files rates proposals every two years, but last year’s agreement included a required filing in the next year.
Holding down workers’ compensation rates complements other efforts by the Patrick-Murray Administration to bring down insurance costs. The Administration’s work to contain health insurance costs saved small businesses and working families $106 million in the last year. The three-year-old reform of auto insurance has delivered hundreds of millions of dollars in savings to drivers across the Commonwealth.
“This is good news for businesses in Massachusetts, particularly small businesses which are the engines of our ongoing economic recovery,” said Barbara Anthony, the Undersecretary of the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. “The Administration is committed to continued improvement of our business climate, allowing businesses to expand and develop new jobs.”
The workers’ compensation system was overhauled in 1991, with the focus on efficient claims management, workplace safety, and return-to-work programs. Rates have been cut 19.7 percent by the Patrick-Murray Administration, and studies by the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services have found Massachusetts have some of the lowest workers’ compensation rates in the country.
The WCIRB’s official filing is available here (PDF).

In these it was apparent some teams were pushing hard to test themselves and the race committee, most notably Caser-Endesa (ESP) which was called OCS more often than not, though it was Roberto Monti’s Airis (ITA) that got that on their scorecard when it counted in the one practice race of the day.
Conditions for today’s practice racing were perfect for old and new teams alike: a gentle 8-10 knot ESE breeze allowed for close manoeuvres in the practice starts to test their skills at positioning and timing, and the 1.3-mile legs were long enough to shift gears, play a few shifts, and gauge each other’s speed potential for the upcoming week. Most teams have saved their last new sail slots for use here, but there are also other upgrades: Monti and his team, for example, will be looking closely at how their brand new keel with its longer thinner bulb will be helping enhance their upwind pace.
One team - Team Nordic (SWE) - had to sit out the fun while making a few final tweaks to their new keel installation job on the Cognit-designed Totalboats before launching this afternoon. The team, led by skipper Magnus Olsson, spent many months here training up with Ericsson Ocean Racing prior to the last Volvo Ocean Race.
In theory, the three new teams here would seem to be playing catch-up with the seasoned Audi MedCup teams, but in the lead from nearly the start to the finish was Gonçalo Esteves’ Portugese entry Quebramar-Xacobeo 2010, which for a time was being chased hard by another new team from the UK, John Basadone’s Peninsula Petroleum. But Audi MedCup runner-up Roma 2, led by skipper Paolo Cian, recovered from a penalty turn at the start to grind down the Gibraltareans on the final run to the finish, not quite in time to catch the local Islas Canarias Puerto Calero team who finished second.
"We did four good starts, the crews were all pretty nervous,” said Felipe Regojo, helmsman of Quebramar Xacobeo 2010, “and several of the boats were over the line, whereas all our starts were clear, which was decisive. We chose the left hand side of the race area, along the coast where we saw more pressure, sailed almost until the layline, and then tacked and crossed with a nice lead. In the run we also chose the coast, which payed off as well. But in the last run the breeze shifted right and so we gybed early to the sea side, and lost some ground to the runner-up.”
The benign conditions today were also perfect for another important feature of today’s racing: each team carried two guest riders on board. These included several Spanish celebrities and TV personalities, with the most photogenic being Estivaliz Pereira, Miss España 2009; Patricia Rodríguez, Miss España 2008; José Manuel Montalvo, Míster España 2009; María José Suárez, Miss España 1999 and prominent TV personality; actress Lucía Hoyos; and TV personality Carma Chaparro.

We are about to launch the new Erasmus+ programme for education, training, youth and sport (2021-2027). This iconic programme, a symbol of European integration, will build on the success of its predecessors over the past three decades.
The new Erasmus+ programme will address new challenges in school education, vocational training, higher education, adult learning, youth and sport. It will mobilise these sectors to work for swift recovery and future growth while supporting green and digital transitions as well as fostering inclusion.
A number of new elements in the programme will help us achieve these goals.
The new Erasmus+ will be larger than its predecessor, with a 7-year budget of more than €26 billion. This represents a considerably strengthened funding compared to the previous programme, worth €14.8 billion.Thanks to this increase, around 10 million people across the European Union and beyond will benefit from time spent abroad to learn and develop skills and competences in support of their personal, social or professional development. In 2019, there was 11,319 participants in 250 projects across all sectors of education and youth in Ireland benefited from Erasmus+ in 2019, with increasing participation rates year on year.
Enhanced Erasmus+ will be at the heart of our efforts to make the European Education Area a reality by 2025. It will contribute to the new Digital Education Action Plan, the European Skills Agenda, the EU youth strategy and the European dimension in sport. It will help remove barriers to quality learning for all and enable learners to move more easily around Europe’s education systems.
A wider variety of people and organisations will be able to participate in the new programme. The benefits that Erasmus+ brings will be accessible to more people with fewer opportunities, including those with a socio-economic disadvantage or people with disabilities. Many Europeans, regardless of their backgrounds or where they live, will be able to benefit from the opportunities offered by the programme.
School pupils and adult learners will be able to spend a period abroad, in groups or as individuals. The programme will be more accessible to smaller, grassroots organisations, like youth groups and sports clubs so that Erasmus+ funding reaches the people who would benefit most from it.
The current COVID-19 crisis has made it clear that Erasmus+ must play a vital role in preparing both individuals and organisations for the digital transformation. It must help to support the competences of both teachers and learners to make good use of digital tools and boost Europe’s capabilities in core forward-looking sectors such as artificial intelligence, robotics and environmental engineering. The pandemic has reinforced the need for more flexible learning formats, such as blended and virtual learning. Building on the success of the Digital Opportunity Traineeships, more opportunities will be possible for students, graduates and staff in higher education and vocational education and training to acquire and develop their digital skills without affecting mobility which has to remain at the heart of the programme.
Erasmus+ has a substantial contribution to make to the European Green Deal. As the programme has become a synonym for free movement of learners, it needs to lead by example and encourage participants to use lower-carbon means of transport. Erasmus+ funding will also help build knowledge and understanding of sustainability and climate action, so that Europeans build the world-leading competences needed to create more sustainable societies, lifestyles and economies.
Erasmus+ will support the full rollout of the European Universities Initiative. European Universities reinforce cooperation between higher education institutions across Europe, based on a shared long-term vision. They set up European inter-university campuses where students can move seamlessly to study, train, teach or do research, designing their own flexible curricula leading to a European Degree. Erasmus+ will help develop ‘Centres of vocational excellence’, establishments offering vocational education and training that will act as drivers of excellence and innovation for developing skills and competences relevant for the labour market.
The new Erasmus+ Teacher Academies will pool expertise and provide training to teachers and trainers, bringing together good practices and supporting the teaching profession.
Under Erasmus+, the DiscoverEU initiative will support 18-year olds to travel by train or, where unavailable, other modes of transport across Europe, connecting with each other and discovering Europe’s rich and diverse cultural heritage.
The newly featured youth participation projects will give more space and opportunities to young people to take an active role in civic and democratic life. This can strengthen their sense of being European and build more bridges between younger generations and decision-makers at both European and national level.
The new programme will be simpler. One example is the European Student Card initiative. This represents significantly simplified and digitalised administrative processes for student mobility. Through its Erasmus+ Mobile App and the Erasmus Without Paper Network, it will serve as a one stop digital shop for students and universities.
Erasmus+ is more relevant than ever and a key part of the EU’s long-term response to the Coronavirus crisis, helping to strengthen the resilience of the education, training, youth and sport sectors and contributing to the green and digital transformations.

The South Wales Metro is an integrated public transport network that will make it easier for people travel across the Cardiff Capital Region, transforming rail and bus services as well as cycling and walking.
The Cardiff Capital Region is made up of ten local authority areas:
- Blaenau Gwent
- Merthyr Tydfil
- Rhondda Cynon Taf
- Vale of Glamorgan
Building the South Wales Metro
Building the South Wales Metro is an ambitious, multi-million-pound project, and our current plans will take us around five years to complete. We have a significant amount construction, engineering and infrastructure work to do to upgrade our rail network so that it’s ready for the South Wales Metro.
- Electrifying around 170 km of track.
- Upgrading all our stations and signalling.
- Building at least two new stations.
We’re investing three quarters of a billion pounds to upgrade the railway lines to Aberdare, Coryton, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhymney and Treherbert, which is an important part of the South Wales Metro. These lines are also known as the Core Valleys Lines.
A number of South Wales Metro projects have been part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government.
What progress are we making?
We’ve already started work on the South Wales Metro, with the construction of our new £100 million depot and Metro Control Centre in Taff’s Well, Rhondda Cynon Taff.
Our Taff’s Well depot will be home to our new Metro trains as well as 400 train crew, 35 maintenance staff and 52 Metro Control Centre staff.
What improvements can you expect from the South Wales Metro?
We’ll be running more weekday and Sunday services than ever before:
- four services per hour between Cardiff and the Heads of each Valley
- two of the four services from Treherbert, Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil will extend from Cardiff to Cardiff Bay
- an extra service per hour between Cardiff and Bridgend via the Vale of Glamorgan Line from December 2023
- two services per hour between Cardiff and Shrewsbury via Abergavenny from December 2022
- an hourly service between Cardiff and Cheltenham via Chepstow from December 2022
- two services per hour on Sundays between Cardiff and the Heads of each Valley
- the first-ever Sunday service on the Coryton and City Lines, with an hourly service from December 2023
- the first-ever Sunday service on the Maesteg Line, with one service every two hours from December 2019, increasing to an hourly service from December 2023
- an extra service per hour between Cardiff and Bridgend via the Vale of Glamorgan Line from December 2024
- an hourly service between Cardiff and Cheltenham via Chepstow from December 2023
- The average journey time saving across the South Wales Metro will be 15 minutes come 2023 (but could be up to 25 mins for some journeys).
- If you need to get off the train to use a station toilet, at 50% of our stations the next train will be never more than 15 mins away (weekday) and the other 50% it’s between 5 and 10 minutes.
- Only three South Wales Metro stations have toilets currently (Cardiff Queen Street, Cardiff Central and Pontypridd), this will rise to 9 in 2023 (a 200% increase). We are planning to install universal access toilets at Merthyr Tydfil, Aberdare, Treherbert, Caerphilly, Tonypandy and Radyr.
- The longest South Wales Metro end-to-end journey is currently 72 mins. In 2023 the longest will be 50 mins.
While you can expect more frequent rail services across much of our network from 2022, we’ll be introducing a number of improvements in the Cardiff Capital Region before 2022.
New Metro trains
We’re investing £800 million in new faster, greener trains for the South Wales Metro and the Wales and Borders rail service.
We’re busy behind the scenes building these new, more comfortable trains that will provide our customers with a modern, effective, turn-up-and-go Metro service.
South Wales Metro Map
The South Wales Metro will make travelling easier throughout the Cardiff Capital Region with faster, more frequent and more joined-up public transport.

Your bed should always be the focal point of your bedroom, and in small rooms, the best way to make it the focal point is to place it in the center of the room’s most visible wall (usually the wall that faces you when you’re standing in the doorway). This way you will have enough room to access your bed from both sides, and if your room is large enough, you can even place nightstands on either side of the bed.
Lots of kids want a rainbow-bright bedroom, and why not? If your daughter loves color, but not necessarily all pink, keep the floors, the furniture and the walls (other than perhaps one accent wall) neutral, and then go wild on the bedding, small furnishings and accessories. A crazy-bright accent wall mural is another fun touch that works in a child’s space, but is too much for the master bedroom. This adorable room was found on Craft-O-Maniac.
Looking for girls’ bedroom ideas? It’s always great decorating a kids’ bedroom and girls’ bedroom design can be a lot of fun, especially when moving on from the nursery. Like with boys’ bedrooms, there really are no rules – but it’s important to reflect her personality. So where to start? Here’s some inspiration…
The bedroom is the perfect place at home for relaxation and rejuvenation. While designing and styling your bedroom, you need to keep a lot of things in mind, such as colour, soft furnishings, textures, flooring, furniture etc. All these elements can all be tailored according to your taste, allowing you to create the serene and tranquil haven in your abode.
Every princess needs her castle, and this pastel rainbow creation is a perfect example of how to properly install one in the bedroom. There is everything here – towers with cones at the top, sentry stations, and even a balcony, all of which help bring the fantasy to life. source.
Teenage girls’ bedroom decor should be different from a little girl’s bedroom. Designs for teenage girls’ bedrooms should reflect her maturing tastes and style with a youthful yet more sophisticated look and need to be very stylish, modern, fashionable and vibrant with energy. If it is possible, you can get your teenager involved in the decorating process. Your teen’s room will be her sanctuary, and should be designed with her best interests in mind. Here we have some greate inspirations for your reference!

Smart lighting choices have a big effect on how a small bedroom feels. Soft light coming from several different directions will blur the edges of your room and, in turn, make it feel larger. Helpful Hint: Soften up your overhead light. Use a frosted shade and a lower wattage bulb to create a more calming ambience. Photo courtesy by Erin Southwell.
I stayed at the Ludlow Hotel in New York’s Lower East Side last October and I instantly fell in love with my room. The stark black four-poster bed was the perfect contrast to whitewashed walls and beams. The industrial black window frames were dressed with heavy patterned pleated silk shades. The massive brass pendant lamp, patterned flat-weave rug, sheepskin throws and deeply veined marble coffee tables accented the decor perfectly. And the view of downtown Manhattan was of course unbeatable. Image credit
Everyone wants a bedroom that feels like an escape from their busy lives, but sometimes it can be hard to strike the balance between indulgence and function. We hope these master bedroom ideas can help you achieve the perfect middle ground. Feel free to use our suggestions as the jumping-off point to designing your new favorite room in the house.
From the bold purple color palette to the vintage pieces and fashion-inspired fabrics, everything in this room will transition well as a tween girl becomes a full-fledged teenager. To invest wisely with tween room updates, emphasize color and pattern instead of themes. See more of this bold, eclectic teen room >>
All the square footage in the world won’t make a difference if it’s crowded with stuff. “Another trick that won’t cost you any money is to keep your room clean,” he says. “You can still accessorize like you would a larger room, but keeping out the unnecessary clutter is a no-brainer.”
This room has this funny little corner. It works as a great place to set up a doll shop, house or barn yard. I also have hooks on the walls for her to hang up her backpack and any other bags. There are better pics of this corner and the hooks in the post I wrote about easy toy storage.
Here’s a small bedroom idea with staying power: Hang window treatments closer to the ceiling to make a room feel taller. Don’t believe us? Have a partner hold up curtains to give it a try. It’s amazing to see the instant change such a small fix can make.
A smaller space doesn’t mean smaller furniture. “One of my pet peeves is miniature bedside tables. Especially next to a larger bed frame and mattress—tiny nightstands can look so dorky,” says Humphrey, who advises his clients to buy normal-size furnishings for small spaces. “It can actually make a small room look bigger and will be more useful and functional,” he adds. Humphrey also picks pieces that can do double duty and makes room for essential pieces. “In my own (small) bedroom I don’t have room for a dresser, so I have large nightstands with drawers that hold my clothes,” he says. “And even if it’s a tight fit, I always want at least a small chair in the corner (dining size can work in a pinch) or bench at the end of the bed as a catchall for clothes, pillows, or whatever garments get flung around before bed.”
The first step in decorating any kind of bedroom, whether it is the bedroom, your child’s bedroom or an extra guest area http://tech.frontalreport.com/news/overstock-clearance-sale-company-stockclearanceguru-celebrates-successful-launch/0052164/ to check out the layout of the area. While it would certainly be wonderful everything bed rooms were sizable this is not always the case. Some rooms are bigger compared to others, some include blockages that need to be functioned around as well as some just have a strange design. Regardless of the layout; however, you could typically find a distinct method which to make the space so that it feels fresh and intriguing.
I think it is pretty low of you to post that you are giving a certain number of hacks and when we click on them we only get about half. To get the rest we have to share, REALLY? Next thing you know, we will have to pay for them. I have seen most of them and the ones I haven’t will eventually come up with no requirements. It’s not like you came up with these yourself and have exclusive rights to them,
Beds can make a bedroom layout feel very linear and square. You can prevent this by placing a comfortable upholstered chair on an angle in the corner. This softens the corner of the room and encourages circulation. Add a small side table, some artwork and an ottoman, if there’s room, to make a cozy and inviting place to relax.
I have seen lots of pretty string light ideas for the bedroom lately, but most of them do not actually show you have to get to cool DIY lighting effect shown in the photo. This step by step tutorial does, and we love knowing exactly how to get the look shown. Yes, girls, this dreamy canopy can be yours for your bed… You need this look in your bedroom today, start making your dreamy DIY canopy this weekend! If you want something cool and crafty for your own bedroom or are trying to make a teen girl’s bedroom the most awesome one ever, this is the project for you.
I love your ideas! There great! Do you do anything for small room decores? I have a queen size bed and i am looking for a fun way to jazz up my room! I am 12 almost 13 and am tired of the old room! Dont have a ton o money so i hope you guys got something! Thank you !!!!!! ? ? ?
This monogram is another easy decoration DIY that you can make in no time and use in many ways. It’s as easy to make as getting a hollow letter block with the little girl’s initial and then fill the open space with fabric or paper roses. You can use it to decorate the walls or set it on top of furniture. lulus.
Well, my sister and I have been sharing bedrooms at two different homes for almost eleven years now, and my mom and stepdad are getting ready to build onto our house, which will give me my own room, of course my sister will bw gwtting a room with a door, a small closet, and one window, while I will be left with our ‘master bedroom’ so I’ll have the bathroom, a wlk in closet, and a two windows, i really want a new, cool design with pretty colors, i’de prefer no pink and purple, and a queen sized bed, though these are all wonderful ideas, my friends don’t have rooms this big, and my ceilings arent that high…do you have any ideas that might fit my room??
When it comes to feng shui bedrooms, a free-flowing layout is crucial. The ideal placement for your bed is as far away from the door as possible, but still in a position that lets you see the entrance; usually, the corner diagonally across from the door is the best spot. Try and avoid having your head under a window due to the ebb and flow of energy going in and out; this causes disturbed and interrupted sleep. Do not position your bed so as to have your feet point out the door while you’re sleeping; this is called the “Death Position” as the deceased are carried out feet first, and sleeping this way is said to drain your life force.
Every room also needs a cute lamp, right? So in this decor tutorial I show how to make a cheap and pretty lamp using small butterfly confetti. Simply stick the butterflies all over the lamp and you get a beautiful colorful butterfly lamp. One of the cutest DIYs ever!
This is my ideal bedroom style, I love the use of soft and subtle tones with small injections of colour such as the yellow used in bedside accessory bowl and the brass used on those gorgeous twin wall lamps. Whilst the room is light, with a large window, the space is warm and welcoming with the help of a plush throw, soft sheets and a complementing headboard to the bed. Image credit
Add bold, summery textiles to a light filled room and you’re guaranteed a fresh, summer feeling all year around. We love the hanging lampshades in this room; even without bulbs they make a great feature.
I was drawn to this space initially because of the use of pattern and colour in the cushions. The navy blue and mustard hues are an intriguing but very complementary pairing; with the pattern visually lifting the entire space. The warmth of the earthy tone-on-tone colour palette has soothing atmospheric qualities: perfect for a bedroom. But the showstopper is the seamless incorporation of industrial inspired design via the vintage wall lighting. An excellent illustration of how urban styling can be blended into a space without appearing too harsh or cold. Image credit
Turn your bedroom into a haven for relaxation with these bedroom inspiration ideas. From master bedrooms to small bedrooms, get inspired by these bedroom design ideas. Learn how to pull together all the elements that make a beautiful bedroom.
It might be tempting to buy the biggest bed possible to feather a luxurious nest. But doing this in a small space tends to cause a more cramped feel. Instead, choose a bed with small stature that won’t choke the room, such as an iron bed with a see-through headboard and footboard. Or pick a bed with no footboard at all, such as a platform or storage bed. Doing so will keep the middle of your room open, making it feel larger.
A bank of windows frames a pretty picket-fence bed. Surrounded by colorful curtains, the bed is the room’s focal point. Sunlight streams in to illuminate the space, but heavy curtains can be drawn to block out the light for nap time. Although a double bed might look oversized now, it will accommodate a growing child in later years, making it a strategic long-term investment.

If there’s room at the end of the bed, use the space to sneak in some extra storage for clothes, shoes, accessories or even school books! These girly metal trunks are one option, but if that’s not your teenage girl’s style, then vintage suitcases or upholstered bench storage are equally stylish and useful!
