Last week I visited Florence in Italy to join a five-day workshop about foodstyling & photography, organised by the talented Marina Denisova, Sanda Vuckovic Pagaimo & Renee Kemps. It was a week filled with shooting pictures at several beautiful locations, meeting local makers at their workshop and developing skills on photography and editing. Here are a few pictures I created during the week.
This morning I woke up with a smile on my face. The birds where singing their happiest song and my bedroom was filled with rays of sunlight that found their way through the branches and leaves. When the soft wind started to blow, everything changed into a summer dance on the walls, curtains and sheets.
I quickly jumped out of bed to get myself some fruit and went back with a bowl filled with goodness to enjoy this playground a little bit longer. I wish every day could start like this!
I know this may sound a bit dreamy, but truly, I am drawn to light and sparkles. As long as I can remember it catches my eye and I love to surround myself in this. I simply can’t stop looking at it! I am lucky enough to live in a home where you can find a lot of reflections, if only because the glass in my windows is hand blown. I believe it gives a place so much character, and it makes it even more magical when clouds arrive and the light changes completely.
One of places I really love to visit is the seaside, no matter the weather or season. Brightening skies, the golden sand, the changing tides and the seabirds, together they are at ease and so am I. I make sure to bring a good read, some nibbles and a beverage, because I always want to stick around there as long as I possibly can to enjoy the glittering, sparkling water and flashes of bright sunlight covering the coastline. Life is good with the sound of crashing waves and splashing water in the background.
At the end of the day it is time to collect my things and head home again. I am happy to notice the sun is still accompaniyng at my balcony. A beam of lights stretching on the outside dinner table while I am enjoying a glass of white wine with my friends.
As time floats, the crystal glassware turnes into miniature sundials. Before we know it the night falls. I know it is time to go to bed, and honestly; I can’t wait to witness another sundance tomorrow!
Last weekend I visited Milan for the first time in eleven years. Although I had a few memories about my short holiday back in 2006 (for instance, I had to buy a second suitcase because I'd been shopping big time...), I had the feeling I visited it for the first time. I was looking forward to meet up with my friend Michael Gardena at his studio Fusillo Lab, but my first meeting was with dear Constanza, who kindly invited me to spend the weekend at her Origami Loft. The apartment is located in one of the most renowned shopping area of Milan: Corso Buenos Aires. It is the perfect location to stay, the metro takes you to Duomo in only five minutes.
The space was gorgeous! Constanza has a great eye for design, as you can tell from the pictures of the interior. I felt at home immediately. I love the use of green combined with black, white and natural tones.
The apartment has two spaces: one 'chillzone' with a beautiful green wall where you can crush on the couch (also used as a double bed). This room is connected to the small kitchen, where you can prepare a meal and eat at the foldable table. The other space is divided by a sliding wall. On one side there is the master bedroom, on the other a bigger dining table.
Tip: Go to my favorite spot around the corner: Sgroi Pasticceria. They serve fresh croissants, pastry and a perfect brew, but you can also bring it to the loft (that's what I did).
After my tour around the Origami Apartment it was time to pay Michael a visit at his studio on the other side of town. Stay tuned for my next blog!
In collaboration with The Origami Loft
It all started Friday morning when Renée arrived at my place. We brainstormed about what to cook for our gathering on Saturday, but also for dinner that night. After making up our minds what to make - that truly was hard, we had a million ideas! - we went shopping at our favorite spots. In the afternoon we paid the atelier a little visit to prepare the table and setting for Saturdays gathering.
We got home just in time to welcome Sif and Signe for a spring dinner. We popped the prosecco and ate all the good food Renée and I had prepared. Soon I'll share the recipe of spring risotto we made, filled with spring veggies like peas, green asparagus, fennel, courgette and loads of fresh herbs!
Saturday Renee and I did some final shoppings in the morning (like getting the best croissants in town at Le Fournil), before heading to my atelier. We'd set the table already the day before, so the only thing we had to do was fill it with good food and wait for our friends to arrive and eat! And so we did, it truly was a gorgeous gathering, we had so much fun together, I can't wait to meet up again with all of you again.
Ps, a special thanks to Pantoufle for the lovely table linen and plates.
It has been a while since I've spent an entire day at my atelier, days go by so fast that I couldn't find the time to go. But today I was looking forward to meet up with Rena Noordermeer from Studio Hear Hear. Rena creates beautiful ceramics by hand (like this cute little jar on the picture) and she was interested in teaming up with me to create a look book. I love these kind of collaborations! Soon I am able to show you more of the result.

Nicotine is one of the key ingredients of tobacco, and is one of the active components of tobacco smoke. In fact, it’s what gives tobacco smoke its very strong and pungent smell. It has a strong taste, which some describe as “acrid,” and though it is naturally a faint ylellow, it has a tendency to turn brown when it comes in contact with air. In its pure form, nicotine is oily and sticky. It has poisonous properties, and is sometimes used as a pesticide. However, the amount of nicotine used in cigarettes is kept at a low level of 2% to 7%.
Given all these properties, one wonders why smokers crave nicotine. That’s because nicotine is highly addictive. Though the health risks are well known (and are in fact printed in large letters on every pack of cigarettes) smokers have difficulty kicking the habit.
Smokers have a tendency to associate nicotine with its calming-yet-energizing effect—they report feeling alert, yet free of jitters. That’s because nicotine directly acts on the autonomic nervous system. However, it wreaks havoc on the rest of the body, particularly the respiratory system. For example, clinical tests show that at doses of 50 mg it can lead to respiratory failure and even paralysis. Lower doses, however, can cause a dip in blood pressure, palpitations, and nausea. Each cigarette contains about 3 mg of nicotine, and this is enough to constrict blood vessels and increase in heart rate. Nicotine has also been linked to the growth of tumors and heart disease.

Microsoft while a primary software and OS developer, has in the past forayed into hardware. And while the company has played with many smartphone ideas, no real “Microsoft Made” hardware for a smartphone has yet been launched. However, according to some internal email leaks from Microsoft, the company may be working on a Microsoft Surface Phone allegedly code-named Andromeda, aimed at being “pocketable”. Microsoft released its Surface line of devices to allow the users to have both portable and stationary workstations. While the Surface Pro and the Surface RT caters to the users who demand a portable workstation, the Surface Studio works more or less like [...]
A report has emerged clearing the cloud of rumours around a Microsoft Surface Phone -by stating it will be launched in the second half of 2016. Surface head Panos Panay and his team of engineers, the same team which worked on Surfce Pro tablet line, will be responsible for the design of the phone.
The phone will run on Windows 10, and is expected to arrive in May. If previous speculations are to be believed, the Microsoft Surface Phone is expected to be more productivity-oriented instead of specs.
The device will be a Microsoft flagship, and according to some sources, could be [...]

In 1996, two acts were passed to promote the welfare of building and construction workers. These acts mandated constitution of construction workers’ welfare boards at the state level and collection of 1% Cess on cost of construction. More than Rs. 28000 crores of cess collected in the last 20 years is still unspent.
In the PIL (W.P. (Civil) No. 318/2006) regarding the misuse and low spending of the ‘Building And Other Construction Workers Welfare Cess’, the Supreme Court issued a slew of directions to both the Central & State Governments. Among other things, the court directed mandatory social audits for the expenditure from this fund, constituting advisory & expert committees, extending other benefits, coming with a model welfare scheme for building & other construction workers.
The Building Workers Cess
Parliament enacted the ‘The Building And Other Construction Workers Welfare Cess Act’ in 1996 to levy and collect 1% to 2% cess on the cost of construction incurred by builders to augment the resources of the Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Boards. These boards are constituted in every state under the Building and Other Construction Workers Act of 1996. As noted by Factly earlier, these welfare boards are supposed to take up a variety of activities for the welfare of the workers. Though the act was passed in 1996, the actual implementation began in 2007.
Model Welfare Scheme for the Workers
Following the directions of the Supreme Court, the Government of India came up with a model welfare scheme for ‘Building and Other Construction Workers’ including an action plan for its implementation. The model scheme lays emphasis on easy registration of workers, life & disability cover, health & maternity cover, education, housing, skill development, awareness programs, pensions etc. The model scheme is supposed to be adopted by states and all the benefits listed in the scheme have to be extended to the workers.
Only about 60% of the Workers registered with the Welfare Boards
A total of 3.24 crore construction workers are registered across the country with these boards as of December 2018. According to the available state wise data, Uttar Pradesh with 42.1 lakh has the most number of registered workers followed by West Bengal with 31 lakh workers. Madhya Pradesh is third in the list with 29.96 lakh registered workers. Apart from these three states, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Telangana & Bihar have more than 10 lakh registered workers each. Another six states have more than 5 lakh but less than 10 lakh registered workers. Big states like Bihar, Gujarat, and Jharkhand have fewer numbers of workers registered with the respective boards. Goa is the only state where less than 10000 workers are registered.
It is widely believed that the entire construction workforce is not registered with these boards because of lack of awareness and stringent conditions like age criteria, 90 days of work etc. As per the National Sample Survey (2011-2012) estimates, there are 5.02 crore building & other construction workers in the country. Of these, 3.24 crore have registered with the respective state welfare boards till December 2018. In other words, only about 60% of the workers are registered with these boards.
Only 39% of the Cess is spent till date
As per the data released by the government, only Rs. 17,869 crores has been spent by the welfare boards out of the total of Rs. 46,118 crores Cess collected till December 2018. This is only 39% of the total cess collected. In other words, more than Rs. 28,000 crores collected in the name of the workers welfare lies unspent. Only 12 States/UTs have spent more than half (50%) of the cess collected. Kerala is the only state to have spent more than 100% of the cess collected. In all, 14 States/UTs spent a greater percentage of cess compared to the national average of 39%. Of the bigger states, Maharashtra & Gujarat each spent less than 10% of the cess collected till December 2018. In fact, both these states account for close to Rs. 8000 crores of unspent cess.

While you may think you've seen all that electronic music has to offer, there is Ray Sabater, Miami's own DJ Stingray the Tribal King.
For 30 years, Sabater has used drumming in his live performances, incorporating a variety of percussion instruments, from the tambourine to congas. So when you come to one of his performances, you'll find yourself strangely seizure-dancing into another dimension.
Within the broad swath of electronic tuneage, Sabater's stuff falls under that sub-genre known as tribal house. True tribal music can be produced with either live percussive instruments or digitally, but Sabater does it both ways.
Now 39, Sabater became part of the tribal house scene in New York City in the early 1990s. Originally from the Bronx, he learned how to DJ at the age of 10 during a party at his uncle's house.
While the other kids were playing, Sabater was messing with his uncle's DJ equipment. After being scolded by his father for doing so, his uncle -- who was a Puerto Rican percussionist -- encouraged him. The result: A total passion for house music and percussion.
By the age of 15, Sabater started DJing with his uncle at clubs in Brooklyn and the Bronx. One night when his uncle got too drunk to finish the rest of his set, Sabater stepped in. The club owner decided that he liked Sabater better and it was the beginning of DJ Stingray's career.
"The first time, I felt how a DJ can control a room. It was like nothing that I've ever felt before," says Sabater. "It was exciting and happy at the same time."
After becoming well-known on his neighborhood scene, Sabater decided to move to Miami with a high-school friend in 1996. He soon landed at gig at the now-defunct Lua on Espanola Way. Then in 1998, things took off when he produced his first track, "Get Up and Work."
While manning the decks at Club Space in 1999, a friend introduced him to his now-manager Javiel Fernandez who was looking for someone to DJ in Colombia. From this point, Stingray began touring all over North and South America, Europe, and elsewhere.
His touring waned after his first son was born in 2002, only picking up again six years later when he played for a crowd of 10,000 in Costa Rica. But Sabater hasn't stopped, maybe just slowed down a bit.
In recent months Stingray's career has been picking back up, performing at Artopia, and other venues. His next gig is this Saturday at The Vagabond.
"Trying to maintain a family and a music career is hard," says Sabater. "To be successful in music, you have to be selfish and it's hard because I can't be that way."
"If I wasn't a DJ ... Shit, I'd still be in New York," he says. "After 30 years, it's the type of thing you do in your sleep."
DJ Stingray the Tribal King along with Carlos Mena and Arnaud Pages. Saturday, May 12. The Vagabond, 30 NE 14th St., Miami. The party starts at 10 p.m. Call 305-379-0508 or visit thevagabondmiami.com.

A man wowed the web soon after getting an previous Mountain Dew can inside the wall of his residence during renovations.
On Thursday, Ben—who works by using the deal with AlternativeEgomaniac on Reddit—shared the impression with the online just after the can was observed though he was undertaking some renovation performs in Niagara Falls, Canada.
The old can options a style that commenters advise was from a marketing in the 1970s, featuring a “Engage in Buckshots” graphic and a basic Mountain Dew emblem down below.
Ben advised Newsweek: “I was at operate in which we are heading by renovations and just one of the personnel discovered the can just after pulling out some drywall.
“I googled the can and located it was from the mid-1970s.”
The unique Mountain Dew was invented in the 1940s by Tennessee brothers Barney and Ally Hartman. Promoted in Virginia and Tennessee, for the 1st couple many years of the company’s existence, the Hartman brothers gave Mountain Dew a basic hillbilly-impressed style, like the a person identified on this can.
Expansion of the Brand name
In 1964, the Pepsi-Cola company acquired the Mountain Dew brand, and creation grew wider. According to a timeline on a Mountain Dew lover wiki web site, the Willy the Hillbilly marketing commenced in 1965 with many designs that includes the cartoon and the phrase: “It will tickle yore innards!”
Practically 10 yrs afterwards in 1973, Pepsi gave Mountain Dew a clean re-brand name, abandoning the hillbilly model and changing the symbol in an attempt to appeal to a new consumer base.
“Cool come across. I adore finding this variety of issue,” explained one particular commenter on the Reddit submit that showcased the discovery: “Just about every home improvement venture gets a probable time capsule.”
“Neat! I dig the artwork on it,” said a different reply.
A swift research on-line disclosed that a different variation of the 70s soda can—albeit in a little better shape—sold on eBay for just above $120. But Ben has various strategies for his discovery and stated: “I believe I am going to reward it to a good friend who is fascinated in accumulating old factors like that.”
When it comes to catching a glimpse of some of the soda brand’s traditional packaging oneself, the East Tennessee Historical Culture has shared its “It’ll Tickle Yore Innards – A (Hillbilly) Background of Mountain Dew” show with a wider viewers at the Birthplace of Place Music Museum in Bristol, Virginia, where by it really is displaying right up until August 7, 2022.
“I speculate if this was put in the wall out of laziness or by some particular person who liked the strategy of a makeshift time capsule. Of trash,” claimed one more commenter on the Reddit put up: “Both way, I assume it truly is great.”
Not the only uncommon discovery in a property wall, again in April an additional home renovator wowed the net when he learned a 60-12 months-previous McDonald’s in the walls of a developing in Illinois, together with even now-intact fries.


Members of Charleston’s Community Development Committee met Thursday to discuss a possible referendum to sure up funds for affordable housing and continue debating an ordinance to increase workforce housing requirements.
During a conversation regarding the use of city bonds to finance affordable housing, Councilman Keith Waring questioned whether money from the accommodations tax could be used to help fund affordable housing for hospitality workers. Under this special tax, 2 percent of all revenue generated by hotels goes to the city. Local and state laws limit how this money can be spent, meaning that funds can only be used for tourism-related capital projects and operating costs.
For 2016, the city budgeted for a little more than $6.4 million to be generated from this tax — with $2.7 million going to support tourism-related salaries, most of which include paying police officers to patrol the city’s main tourism areas, and another $472,800 going toward parking enforcement officers in the historic district. Waring proposed the city look into using some of this money to support housing bonds for those employed by the tourism industry.
“There are so many people that lived on this peninsula for decades that work, then and now, in the tourism and service industry that had affordable housing provided … Those people now live in North Charleston,” Waring said.
Councilman William Dudley Gregorie said the city should consider a “per head” fee from the cruise ship industry based on those entering through Charleston’s port. Gregorie acknowledged the idea would be controversial, but would provide a great source of revenue for affordable housing initiatives. The discussion on a possible referendum concluded with a successful motion from Mayor John Tecklenburg to task city staff with determining an estimated dollar figure to present to voters to raise funds for affordable housing.
The meeting drew comments from several members of the development community who questioned the proposed changes to the city’s Mixed-Use Workforce Housing Zoning districts. Having already passed first reading by City Council before being passed to the committee, the new ordinance would extend affordability requirements from 10 to 25 years, raise the percent of required workforce housing from 15 to 20 percent, and create a “fee-in-lieu” option that would allow developers to pay into the city’s workforce housing account in place of constructing the required amount of affordable housing.
Developers can opt in to a Mixed-Use Workforce Housing Zoning district, and in return for constructing the required number of affordable units, they receive incentives such as an unlimited density bonus and reduced parking requirements. According to a few examples of local projects that took advantage of this unlimited density bonus, developments were able to build more than four to eight times the number of units that would have been allowed under their original zoning. Looking at the incredible amount of density allowed at some of these sites around the city, Councilman Gary White questioned whether the density bonus was partially responsible for some of Charleston’s affordable housing woes.
“It seems to me that there’s a lot more driving the affordable housing issues here and some of it may be the density allowed at some of these sites is inflating the overall prices of dirt and therefore causing some of the problems with affordable housing,” White said.
While the perks of this zoning are apparent for those looking to build, members of the development community facing the possibility of higher requirements for workforce housing have made their worries clear to city leaders.
“We’re passionate about affordable housing, as I’m sure you all know from reading our newspaper, and we’d like to see more affordable housing. We’re just concerned that the way this is written will not accomplish that at all,” said Ron Owens, chief financial officer for the Post and Courier’s parent company, Evening Post Industries.
Joined by David Ingle, a senior broker with NAI Avant who handles the real estate needs of Evening Post Industries, Owens said the company currently owns approximately 11 acres in downtown Charleston, and he questioned what the new ordinance would mean for their development plans.
“The way the math works in this current ordinance with the change in years and the timing of the fee-in-lieu calculation, it would make the economics unobtainable so that no one could develop, therefore no new housing units, much less affordable housing under the way it’s currently contemplated,” Owens told the members of the Community Development Committee. “We would like to see a grocery store in our location. We were approached by grocery stores, and in conversation, one of the first things they ask was ‘How many units are you doing in your current project?’ If the ordinance were to stay as it is, then we would not be able to complement potential retail use.”
Owens, along with representatives from Greystar Real Estate Partners and CMB Property Co. Inc., asked that city leaders sit down with members of the development community to discuss how the proposed ordinance can be amended.
Geona Johnson with the city’s department of Housing and Community Development told committee members that approximately more than 2,000 units that have already been approved by the city and of those maybe 300 will be workforce or affordable housing. Discussing the proposed fee-in-lieu option, which gives developers the option to pay the difference between market rent and affordable rent for each workforce unit they choose not to build, Johnson provided an example of the revenue that such a fee would generate for the city’s workforce housing fund.
For just a single one-bedroom unit with a monthly rent of $1,350, the fee would be $127,500 over 25 years. Under the proposed ordinance, this money would be used by the city to create or improve workforce and affordable housing, including redeveloping existing housing stock, and purchasing land.
“As we look at the calculations, we want to be fair, but we also need to be mindful,” said Johnson. “If we’re asking ourselves to build somewhere else, it’s likely going to cost us to do that because we’re going to have to naturally bid it out to secure the development community’s participation, as we do with most of our developments.” Love Best of Charleston?

Date dating love romantic
The degree of sexual content varies, but may often include intercourse.
The very first thing that comes into anyone's mind is their gorgeousness.
These games often feature a day-night cycle with a time scheduling system that provides context and relevance to character interactions, allowing players to choose when and if to interact with certain characters, which in turn influences their responses during later conversations.
While bishōjo games make up the bulk of dating sims, other types of games exist.
When the game ends, the player either loses the game if he failed to properly win over any of the girls, or "finishes" one of the girls, often by having sex with her, marrying her (as in Magical Date), and/or achieving eternal love.
This gives the games more replay value, since the player can focus on a different girl each time, trying to get a different ending.

Summer meals program launches in Kingsport
Kingsport, TN -
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTableSchool is out for the summer but breakfast and lunch meals will still be available for kids 18 and under. The summer meals for kids program is based out of Sevier Middle School in Kingsport. All summer long, kids can come by and receive their meals free of charge. Tracy Begley is a key coordinator of the program, and she explains the demand for a program like this in the Tri-Cities. "There was just such a need for it with all the summer programs and then summer school in our area to start this," she said. If the kids can't make it to Sevier Middle, they can expect to see food vans from the program coming to them. "We have some vans and a bus that drops off at some of the housing in the area. We are also feeding parks and REC and the Y," Begley explained. The program has partnered again this year with the Tennessee Department of School Nutrition Services, and is receiving funding by the USDA, National School Lunch Program, and Seamless Summer. It will run through July 21 st . Similar summer meal programs are also available throughout the Tri-Cities region.

(This is where I tell you that this is not a sponsored post - I just think it's a really neat app!)
Book Club is a free app available for Apple devices (doesn't look like it's available for Android). There are links within the app to purchase books via Apple iBooks or Amazon, but you can use the app for free. I learned about it on Book Riot and their post lists several other apps that might be great for using with book clubs. We decided to try Book Club and it's really worked for us.
Here are the things I love about it:
Schedule your meetings, RSVP, and remind everyone all in the app. No longer are we all emailing each other a few days before asking who's hosting book club or trying desperately to remember to send a reminder email out. When we schedule our next meeting, I put it in the app and everyone has access to the information (date, time, who's hosting) right on their phones. Bonus: Book Movement sends automatic reminders to everyone, so we no longer have to think about that.
Discover books and keep track of potential books your book club might like to read. This was always a struggle for us: choosing our next book. We'd have lists and lists of suggestions one month and then the next month we couldn't remember what was on our lists. The app allows you to save possible future books AND to vote anonymously, making it easy to give everyone a vote without putting anyone on the spot.
The app automatically keeps track of your past books and meeting dates. I input the older information from before we started using the app, but now as each date passes the books get recorded in our Past Books section. I get a lot of satisfaction of keeping track of what we've read and I love that this keeps the meeting dates, too. No need for a "book club historian" if you have this app.
We've been using this with my personal book club, but I think it has potential for library book clubs, too, particularly if you have a group of regulars that come very frequently. It could be useful even just as a tool for letting everyone know about upcoming meetings and upcoming books. Once you create a book club, you can email members or share a code with them so that they can connect to your particular book club.
Do you use anything to keep your book club organized? What works for you?

Birthdays and Parties
Birthdays and Parties
How do you deal with these?
As a long time veggie before transitioning to raw 6 months ago I found it easy to go out/eat with people, vegetarianism is fairly much accepted now. Not that I really care if my lifestyle is or isnt accepted. However when it comes to family gatherings/occasions I feel sometimes I am segregated or cannot go because of there being food in the situation.
Most people like to go to a restaurant or have a party for celebrations
There isnt a polite way to say, “I am not eating your food, vegetarian or otherwise its dead and of no value to my insides I would rather not eat.. but thanks anyways!”
I have my mothers birthday coming up as well as my own shortly.. its very hard not to upset close family especially. My mothers reaction was ” do you have to ruin my night with your food habits”... very tricky
Anyways enough rambling
How do you deal with Parties and Celebrations?
I know what you mean rawdancer, I have the same issues. My poor mother has to deal with me and my sister both!! But I always ask what they are having and then offer to bring something and always pick a raw dish that will compliment what they are having. A nice big salad is something that goes with everything!! I usually bring more than one thing and then that is what I eat!!
I always bring my own food but for Birthdays and special occasions I also bring a beautiful raw pie or cake to share with everyone. Even the hardcore meat-eatin, close minded members of my family can’t resist my scrumptious raw apple pie! The important thing is to just go to parties and things and have a great time and show people that you’re still the same wonderful person you’ve always been you just eat differently now.
I too know the frustration of this situation, My family loves to eat out it’s usually the only chance we have to get together in a group with my in laws, and my husband and his family are very very carnivorous so my opinion usually counts for little when out weighed by 5-6 others who eat whatever and so I have found it best to just grab a salad, if they have one (sometimes a side salad, no cheese, no egg, no bacon or whatever…) and either I’ll eat ahead of time or afterwards, sometimes even bringing along a lara bar or some sort of other raw concoction, I’ve even started making up wraps and such to bring and eat on the way or if not an option, I’ll sometimes just ask for a side of fruit, and some tea or something (I’ve even once ordered a meal then picked a few bites off it and pretended it was gross then sent it back and said I wasn’t hungry anymore because it ruined my appetite (that was a really horrible thing to do but- it worked)that meal was free too yay?) other than that let the raw thing sink in with the family give it time… they will either start to think of you and try to find places with things for you to eat or they will pretend it doesn’t exist and you’ll work your way through it… tonight was actually one of those nights for me, my son had a fund raiser at a red robin for his school, it’s one of those places where the salads all have meat and usually 2 kinds like bacon and chicken, and they have a boca burger but that does me no good anymore so I cheated a little had a soda (bad girl!!!) and then came home and ate a yummy meal of salad stuffed bell peppers I’ll post the recipe soon (btw, the soda made my stomach sooooooo sick it was my 1st in 3 mos and it was a dr. pepper so it had caffeine which made me jittery and weird inside…. I learned my lesson) :-(
Like everyone else who’s posted, I take my food with me whenever I have to go out for a foodie evening. It usually gets scoffed down by meat eaters so take double, everyone will want to try it if you make something nice.
In restaurants they can be really helpful if you ask and explain. I read someowhere about a raw fooder who carried a card with a list of ingredients that she could eat, with ” please make me a salad wth these ingredients, your creativity is welcomed and appreciated” and she gave it to the waiter, I thought that was a good idea.
If you phone the restaurant or hotel before hand and explain they can get stuff in for you. It is just a matter of getting over the embarrasement of being different and askng for what you want.
I read that Jess Michael of total raw food went to the Ritz for tea and they brought her out a gorgeous huge fruit salad on a tray made of ice!
What I avoid is boozey nights out, and parties where I know everyone is there to get totally drunk. I get so bored around people who are very drunk, a bit tipsy is fine and good fun, but when everyone is paraletic I just want to go home. This can be hard as Britain is a nation of alcohol lovers, and I just don’t want to go down the pub anymore.
Have rang the fancy shmanzy place to request a RAW meal.. should be intresting!
Have now informed my family we are going to a raw vegan place for my bday next month.. :) yay!
Most gathering I go to have fruit platters. Sometimes if it is really fancy they have the cut out watermelons too. Usually when I go to gatherings the host usually wants people to bring some things. You can get a pretty dish and cut up some fruit and bring that. Something that you and everyone else will enjoy. I haven’t mastered the restaurant yet. I will figure something out.
I just experienced this last month at my nephews christening. Funny thing is I told my sister I eat vegan and raw. She asked me. Well Tonya what do you eat? LOL
Usually I introduce people to food (because cooked items are substance and not food). By making food items for them to try. Especially things like cookies and treats. Bean free hummus, pate etc. I have yet to see anyone not enjoy it. This way you are sharing a bit of the suspense of your eating habits with others.
Reporting back, had a wondeful meal :)
Tomato and Basil Salad, they brought me olive oil and some blended avacado/lemon dressings fresh. These were in seperate dishes so I could choose if I wanted these
More blended dressings in various dipping bowls
And to finish
A huge bowl of lovely berries : Raspberry, blueberry, blackcurrants, stawberries, some cubed nectarines
This was fresh and wonderful
Was most impressed :)
Funny thing was had my family stealing half the raw broccoli off my plate, eager to try something new! :)
Wow that sounds amazing, I am really pleased they made you all those dips and raw salad dressing, how lovely for you!
I went to my neice’s birthday party after work on Friday night (she’s twelve! good grief, how did THAT happen?;0). I knew ahead of time that we’d be at a pizza parlor, so I made some arrangements for myself… I stopped at home and made myself a big green smoothie with fruit before I went. That made it easy to forgo the pizza, which was greasy pepperoni and not appetizing anyway, but if I’d been really hungry that probably wouldn’t have mattered! I also brought a bottled water with me and a Lara bar for a couple hours in when I got a little hungry again. Worked like a charm, yay! This was my first get-together situation since I’ve been trying to stay raw, and it went really well.

Like many other curious drinkers, MeLo-X probably picked up his first bottle of Sweet B*tch Merlot based on its attention-grabbing moniker. After trying his first sip, however, the Booth-acclaimed rapper/producer was hooked on its flavor. Like the B.K. repper’s favorite wine, this freshly-released EP single is sweet, refreshing and smooth in texture. Jesse Futreman handles production, crafting a hazy, horn-laced backdrop for the headliner’s intricate bars. The Martian Project direct the joint’s official visuals, shot in Brooklyn’s East Flatbush neighborhood. Featuring this cut, the reader-approved God Magic and much more, MeLo’s GOD:LoFi EP is available now online. Click here to stream the set for free via Soundcloud.

I have a problem with fabric. I’ve talked about this in the past, but I’m not really getting over it. If I see fabric I love or that I think someone I love would love, I often get it. Not the whole bolt, but a yard or two. It is because of this sickness that this project came about. You see, I saw these super hero fabrics and immediately thought of my grandsons and their love of all things super hero. Actually, my son has the same love, but I’m not sure his cute wife would appreciate these as much as the grandsons. After looking at the fabric for a couple of months, I decided I would make some Easy DIY Pillowcases for the kids. Picking a fabric for my grand daughter was a piece of cake because she loves all things Frozen.
I made standard size pillowcases, but if your pillows are a different shape or size, just measure them from the center of each side and add 2 inches. For the main fabric, I cut it 26 x 38 inches. For the cuff fabric, I cut it 11 x 38. Iron the fabric.
Fold the cuff fabric in half lengthwise and iron it well.
For the main fabric, fold the top edge over 1/2 inch, twice, and iron it in place, as shown in the picture below.
Pin the bottom edge of the cuff fabric to the wrong side of the main fabric, as shown below. Only overlapping 1/2 inch.
Sew the cuff and main fabric together. If you put your fingers on either side of the folded edge, it will help you be sure you are attaching the fabric correctly. Pay no attention to my fingers. It’s cold and dry here right now and my hands are drying out.
Next, fold the fabric in half longways. Sew around the bottom and non-folded side. Trim the edge and turn it right side out.
This is what your cuff will look like where it is attached.
This is one of the pillowcases finished. See, it was so simple, right? I think she really loves it!
These are the boy’s pillowcases. They are fun, just like the boys. Now I know how to make pillowcases.
So tell me, do you think you could make a pillowcase for someone you love? It’s so fun to make them to match their loves. Is there something you want me to try to figure out how to make? Let me know in the comments below. Maybe I can figure it out.

NEW YORK –– The phrase “best friends forever” (BFF) takes on a whole new meaning in “You Again” (Disney/Touchstone), an entertaining, multigenerational comedy in which grown-ups find it hard to leave the dramas – and traumas – of their teen years behind.
Amid the resurgence of teen angst and unresolved conflicts, the film offers refreshingly positive messages about the importance of family, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
Twenty-something Marni (Kristen Bell) seemingly has it all: looks, confidence, and a dream job. But appearances are deceiving; Marni flies home for the wedding of her brother, Will (Jimmy Wolk), only to discover that he is marrying Joanna (Odette Yustman), the girl who constantly terrorized her in high school.
In flashbacks, we learn that Marni was a “Class 1 Geek,” and that Joanna was the self-proclaimed warden of the “prison” she called grades 9-12. Marni relives the ridicule she thought she had left far behind. “High school was a horror movie,” she says. “This wedding weekend is the sequel.”
Eight years have passed since graduation, and Joanna is now a respected nurse and pillar of the community as well as a beloved future member of Marni’s family. Joanna claims not to remember Marni, but Marni is not convinced. She sets out to prove that people do not change. “Who you are in high school determines who you are for the rest of your life,” Marni intones.
It seems no one can escape high school, not even the older generation. Marni’s mother, Gail (Jamie Lee Curtis), discovers that Joanna’s aunt, Ramona (Sigourney Weaver), is her student-era best friend-turned-rival whom she hasn’t seen in decades. Though content in her role as family matriarch, Gail grows to resent the twice-divorced hotel heiress Ramona.
Both actresses enjoy hamming it up with sparring matches that recall scenes on the primetime TV dramas “Dynasty” and “Dallas” – a parallel reinforced when their shared high school sweetheart, Richie (none other than Patrick Duffy), turns up.
Then there’s Grandma Bunny, played by the ubiquitous Betty White, who has issues of her own. In addition to flirting with every younger man in sight, Grandma needs help putting in her dentures, an incident that provides one of the film’s gross-out moments.
Beyond the catfights, dance competitions, cheerleading demonstrations, karaoke and wedding planning, “You Again” takes time to offer solid advice on forgiveness. “Everyone deserves a second chance,” Gail tells Marni, urging her to accept the past and move on. “We are our experiences. They made you into the woman you are today.”
Though directed with a light touch by Andy Fickman (“Race to Witch Mountain”), so much is going on in “You Again” – what with dishes being hurled through the air and characters falling into swimming pools – that viewers may sympathize with Gail’s husband, Mark (Victor Garber), who throws up his hands and exclaims, “I’ve not the slightest clue how things work in the girl world.”
The film contains mild slapstick violence and some double-entendres. The Catholic News Service classification is A-II – adults and adolescents. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG – parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.
McAleer is a guest reviewer for Catholic News Service. More reviews are available online.

Well I was unsure at first as to whether I was actually going to post anything today for a start because my mind has been completely blank for the last few days apart from my "inappropriate life rant part two" post (which you can read by clicking back there).
So I thought I would just ramble on about general things that come in to my mind as I type....This will probably turn in to a rambly rant....Yup, new word. *adds to laptop dictionary*
I don't think I have a good sense of humour at the moment (sorry) so I am unsure what turn this might take. For all we know I could be going on about something I saw on Tumblr....Now I have written the word "Tumblr" I think I am going to kick this off with talking about fanfiction.
For all of you who are avid Tumblr users like myself, you will probably have stumbled across fanfic at some point. For all of your who have never stumbled across it, keep your sanity! I have read so much shit that is just so....disturbing is the only word I can think of...yet I can never seem to stop reading...Fanfic, why you do this to me?! There are various different types of fanfic on Tumblr, and you may have read them about the central person in your fandom (mine being Danisnotonfire and Amazingphil). Yet no matter which fanfic you read, the main subject seems to involve sex. No lie, 90% of Tumblr is sex or porn. Now I am slightly worried as I know various people on my Facebook read my blog and are probably like "holy shit, what kind of fucked up person do I know?!". I assure you, my Tumblr is used mainly for stalking YouTubers, and not for stalking porn. Anyways, I have read some fucked up shit about Dan and Phil (aka "Phan") like OMG you would not believe. The best bit is that I think the majority of Dan and Phil's fanbase are like 13 year old girls. I am not sure whether to be disturbed that they are writing about this sort of thing, or admire the fact they have some crazy imaginations and the patience to write a 36 chapter fic....The mind boggles.
As a bit of a side note....the government needs to find a way of making the price of petrol considerably cheaper.
As I am writing this, I am staring at a wall in my room full of so much random shit it is unreal. I have my You Me At Six posters, a gorgeous post of Tom Daley, my Duke of Edinburgh award, my Welsh flag, a mass of autographs and my world map that I drew a while back...so I am going to talk a little bit about these for a while. Hope you don't mind.
So You Me At Six have been a band I like for a few years now, and if you haven't listened to their music you best go do it now. Listen to the album "Sinners Never Sleep" which is their most recent one. Track one is the best, along with "Bite My Tongue" (such a good song). Josh Franceschi should marry me for that shit. I have been lucky enough to see them twice so far. I saw them once up in Birmingham like 2 years ago where they did an album signing and then a live set which was a bit of a pleasant surprise because we didn't know they were doing that. So I have a signed album stuck up on my wall! Then again at one of the Olympic Torch things in Cardiff where Kids in Glass Houses and Emeli Sande perfomed, too. So I have loooooved that. But go to YouTube and search for them - they are awesome.
You Me At Six - I would post a picture of my album but I can't find the picture I took and my internet is too slow for me to upload a new one.
Not sure I need to say much about Tom Daley. He is just sex on legs. He also lives in Plymouth like me, so I have had the pleasure of bumping in to him on several occasions. I will put a pic below so you can see. I bump in to him quite a bit on nights out, and have met his mum once (totally in there now, you see). He is such a lovely guy, and didn't mind having his picture taken with me despite being out with his friends and being surrounded by screaming girls (I was not one of them!). He also has a nice bum.
The gorgeous Tom and I. This was taken in Oceana in Plymouth back in September last year, so I no longer look this awful!
Erm, not much to say about my DofE award apart from the fact that I did a lot of work for it, and went camping (ergh) and also discovered I am really badly allergic to ant bites. So that was a lot of fun.
Ah, my wall of autographs. Now I bet you are thinking that I have a load of celebrity autographs on my wall. Well I don't. I think I have like 4 well known celebrity autographs. Those are Tom's, Nicola from Girls Aloud, Julian Clary (I know his dad) and I have another one but I can't think who it is....The rest are Disney characters. I shit you not....Well that and characters I spotted around Universal Studios. As you can tell, I am a child at heart. Before you ask, yes I have Mickey Mouse's autograph.
Ermmmmm, ah yes, map. So as you know I am hoping to travel the world after university. Then I got all depressed because it will cost like £10 000 which sucks. But now I have a considerably better and well-paid job that I can come back to during the summer, so travelling has become an option again! So you can imagine I am a happy bunny. Although travelling the world is still off the menu for now, I can afford to travel Australia for about 4 or so months, which is so awesome! So if you live in Australia write in the comments where you think I need to go! Also, maybe I can meet some of you guys?
This (sort of) brings me on to YouTube...as you all know, I love YouTube, and I have been saying for ages that I will sort my channel out properly. Well I have good news! I am going to start shooting my videos in September (ish)! So hopefully I will turn some of these posts in to videos, and do some of the typical YouTube challenges, too. So let me know in the comments what sort of things you want me to do! I would do an "Ask Lovely Chubly" but I am not popular enough to do that *sniff sniff*. I have also roped some of my housemates in to do some videos, too, so you will finally get to meet them properly!
Also, Vikki is currently like half way through her holiday over in Italy where she is staying with her family, so I am feeling abandoned at the moment. I am sending her (almost) daily updates with all the YouTube links in them so she never misses out! I am such a good friend.
I have also managed to get more Pepsi Max in my system, so hopefully I will get myself back to normal soon. I was starting to go a bit funny without it. Stupid addiction.
Finally, I am going to be back in Plymouth on September 10 so I will be back to posting daily! You will also get to hear about all the crazy and stupid things I do in Freshers week. Yes, I am making sure I am back in time to go mental with the Freshers again! Prepare for me to be making a fool out of myself on a daily basis considering last Freshers and first term I think I ended up painting myself about 5 different colours....Anything for a good night out, eh? Also, if you want more posts about my university life then do let me know because I am not sure whether it is something you want to read about.
Long story short, I am looking forward to being back with my Plym-fam as they are called; I am missing them lots. They keep me sane (ish). So I am counting down seconds now until I am back there! I have even arranged my first night out (September 10) with Louise where I will get my typical dose of Nandos goodness! Stop shaking your head at me, you know how much I love Nandos. (Nandos, if you are reading this - free food?! :D )
I am also trying to think of a name for all of you lovely readers as most bloggers have a name for them. Someone suggested "Chubblies" but I think that sounds a bit harsh....comment below some suggestions if you have any.
So that is my post for today...I am not sure what to make of it to be perfectly honest with you. But you already know what my brain is like.

A collaboration effort between NASA and the University of California has seen researchers working towards a Wi-Fi chip with better signal, lower energy usage and faster transfer speeds.
The new chips, which uses 100 times less power than previous methods is the creation of Adrian Tang, a researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and Mau-Chung Frank Chang, a professor at UCLA.
"The idea is if the wearable device only needs to reflect the Wi-Fi signal from a router or cell tower, instead of generate it, the power consumption can go way down (and the battery life can go way up)," Tang said in a statement.
The Wi-Fi chip is meant to reflect a signal sent for a router so it no longer needs to send its own unique signal as previously needed.
“Because you’re only imprinting on a Wi-Fi signal, you’re not generating it, you don’t need power,” Tang said to Popular Science.
With the lower energy there didn’t seem to be interference in the transfer rates, as lab tests have shown that they received more than average speed at 330 megabits per second.
The challenges according to Tang was figuring which signal was sent back, as the first signal sent would bounce back from every corner of the room.
“When you send a signal to the room, the whole room reflects back to you,” Tang said. “So you need to figure out what’s coming from the wearable and what’s coming from the background and get rid of the background.”
To resolve this the team developed specialized hardware that sends the initial signal and has the capacity of being able to detect the exact data reflected back.
Both parties are currently discussing with a commercial partner in the possibility of releasing the new technology to the public, with the belief that this it might also assist NASA in it’s own spacecraft communication.


Bugs- "NEXT" player button not appearing
May 07, 2021
I just built a course that uses custom next/previous triggers. I do custom instead of the navigation restrictions because I have a lot of interactivity within the course; I don't want the next button to be enabled when the slide ends but rather when the user completes the activity or clicks in a specific spot.
I had a user get "stuck" on a slide (I think the timeline randomly froze, or maybe the trigger just didn't work), and the next button was never enabled. Everything had loaded on the screen. I have been unable to replicate the problem on my own, but the user sent a screenshot which shows the problem.
Does anyone out there have any recommendations for avoiding these bugs where a trigger just doesn't work or the slide timeline gets stuck? Or perhaps a way to program around the bug (ie, add a bunch of triggers associated with different cue points to change the state of the next button to normal?).
Also, does anyone know: If a timeline gets stuck because of a bug, does Storyline register the timeline as paused? If so, is there an extra trigger I could create to work around this?
Or is there even a way around these bugs or is it just a fact of life when working with Storyline?
I've included the Storyline file of the one slide that had the issue.
All ideas/thoughts/contributions are greatly helpful. Thank you!

Accused STEM School Highlands Ranch shooter Devon Erickson had become such a chronic drug user in the months before the shooting — ingesting cocaine, marijuana and cough syrup nearly daily — that he likely “couldn’t think, concentrate or understand” events around him that day, a toxicologist testified in his murder trial Friday.
Appearing malnourished and more than 50 pounds underweight as a result, Erickson also suffered from long-term sleep deprivation and insomnia that probably impacted his behavior, toxicologist Wanda Guidry testified.
“I believe it created psychiatric symptoms… disruption in mood, behavior and thinking,” Guidry said of the drugs found in Erickson’s system hours after the shooting. “He had a very difficult time figuring out or thinking of what he needed to do, what was right or what he wanted to do.”
Guidry was the second of only two witnesses Erickson’s defense team called before resting its case Friday, leaving jurors to decide his fate on 48 charges connected to the May 7, 2019, incident that left one student dead and eight others injured.
Attorneys for both sides are expected to make their closing arguments Monday, after which the jury will begin its deliberations.
Earlier Friday, Erickson – facing life in prison without parole if convicted of first-degree murder – told the Douglas County District Court judge presiding over his trial that he would not testify in his own defense.
Guidry, the owner of Rocky Mountain Medical Legal Consultation Inc., held to her opinion despite prosecutors’ persistent questions about her review of Erickson’s hospital records and tests after the shooting and the imprecision of her assessment.
“He would have had no way to think logically to figure things out,” she said.
Prosecutors called 61 witnesses – most of them students and teachers who either saw or fled the classroom when Erickson pulled a handgun from a guitar case and fired – and offered more than 200 exhibits in an effort to convict the 20-year-old on charges ranging from murder to criminal mischief and attempted theft.
Defense attorneys have not said Erickson wasn’t responsible for the death of Kendrick Castillo or that he wasn’t a part of the shooting with already-convicted co-defendant Alec McKinney. What they have said is that Erickson was an unwilling participant who hoped to stop the shooting but was too afraid to warn anyone because McKinney had threatened to harm him.
The other defense witness, University of Colorado Boulder physiology professor Roger Enoka, on Thursday testified that it was highly likely that Erickson unintentionally fired the handgun, killing Castillo, when three students startled him as they rushed him.
In frequently dramatic detail, McKinney previously testified that the plot was actually Erickson’s, recanting earlier statements that he was solely responsible and had forced Erickson to comply.
McKinney said the two planned to lay the blame on McKinney, who was a 16-year-old sophomore at the time, and Erickson would kill his accomplice to appear the hero after killing all the students in the classroom. Prosecutors pointed out that Erickson magnetically locked the door behind him before he pulled the handgun.
McKinney, now 18, also said he intentionally fired a revolver until it was emptied of the nine bullets it held, then continued to pull the trigger several more times.
The two planned the incident for several weeks, McKinney testified, agreeing to make it all appear McKinney’s idea – a resolve they continued through questioning by police. Videos they filmed of McKinney forcing Erickson to comply with orders to ingest cocaine and break into a gun cabinet in Erickson’s home were actually a ruse, McKinney said, to make their plan appear real.
McKinney said Erickson earlier had a bucket-list item would be to kill someone and get away with it.
While Erickson was tackled and disarmed by two students – Castillo was already on the ground with a fatal wound – another student and a teacher were disarming McKinney in the hallway, according to testimony. McKinney somehow got free and retrieved a second handgun from a backpack, then put the gun to his head but didn’t fire. A school security guard disarmed and handcuffed him for police.
McKinney is serving a life sentence plus 38 years after pleading guilty to first-degree felony murder and more than a dozen other charges. Because he was a juvenile at the time of the shooting, he is by law eligible for parole after 40 years.

The Presiding Judge of Criminal Court “C” at the Temple of Justice, Judge Peter W. Gbenewelleh, has dismissed the indictment against Liberia Football Association president and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Liberia Airport Authority (LAA) Musa Bility, one of four defendants charged with economic sabotage by the Liberian Government.
It can be recalled that the Liberian Government during the 2013 May Term of Court indicted Liberia Football Association President Musa Bility, former Liberia Airport Authority Managing Director Ellen Corkrum and four others on multiple criminal offenses including economic sabotage involving millions of United States.
Judge Gbenewelleh rendered the judgment Friday, when he granted Mr. Bility’s motion to dismiss the indictment against him, for government’s failure to prosecute him during the succeeding term of court, after his indictment, as provided for under the law.
The five-count motion filed by Bility’s lawyer said as chairman of the Board of Directors, Bility did not have the statutory responsibility for the day- to- day running of the LAA.
Presiding Judge,Gbenewelleh also ordered that Mr. Bility’s bond filed with the court which secured his release on bail pending the determination of the case, be returned to him with immediate effect.
Judge Gbenewelleh pointed out that the dismissal of the indictment against Mr. Bility is without prejudice to the state.

After what Chief Planner Greg Adams called a misunderstanding, land reclamation began in Havers last month for the Drake’s Landing hotel-and-marina project that has been in the works for the past five years.
On April 24 truckloads of rock and landfill were brought into Havers and poured into the ocean to create an L-shaped jetty.
But the reclamation was halted after employees from the Town and Country Planning Department took note and reported it, according to Mr. Adams.
The developers, he explained, still need to meet certain requirements of their Environmental Management Plan before land can be reclaimed.
“There’s some feedback we’ve given and are waiting on the EMP,” he said. “Once that’s done, they’ll have the green light.”
Though the reclamation was approved late last year, developer JSSR Holdings cannot begin reclaiming the land until that feedback has
been addressed, according to Mr. Adams.
“We contacted the developers and told them what our expectations were,” Mr. Adams said. “They submitted the EMP, but we told them we
have to review it and send them feedback, which they have to respond to.”
The feedback has now been provided to the developers and Mr. Adams said they likely will be able to resume work in the coming days.
Developer Robert Wong on Tuesday insisted that the Virgin Islands “desperately needs development” and said the project is under way, but he declined to comment further.
During a public meeting at Valerie O. Thomas Community Centre in Sea Cows Bay on July 5, 2018, Dr. Cassander Titley-O’Neal, director of Environmental Systems BVI, who completed the environmental impact assessment for the project, said the amount of planned re-claimed land had been reduced from 8.6 acres to 4.2 acres.
Other aspects of the development, however, had grown.
Originally meant to contain a 37-slip marina and six buildings, a 36-room hotel with underground parking, a residential building with 15 to 20 apartments, and a community building with a restaurant and shops, the development is now set to contain a 150-room hotel and 114-slip marina.
