Ross and Sarah have a strong relationship with Cornwall. They regularly travel down to enjoy Cornwall's superb coastline and beautiful countryside. For their wedding they had selected a hidden gem of a venue at Tresillian House near Newquay. This sumptuous property provides an incredible self contained venue for both the reception and accommodating the wedding party.
My day began by joining the bride and groom at the venue to get shots of them getting ready for the service. Ross, the groom, had opted for a dark blue suit with brown brogues. Sarah, the bride, had opted for a beautiful duck egg blue wedding dress with intricate lace design.
Interestingly the Ross and Sarah had arranged to hold their ceremony deep underground at the unique Carnglaze Cavern. For the wedding photographer this raises all sorts of challenges. Flash is banned due to nesting bats. It is incredibly dark throughout the cavern. This means you need super fast lenses and a steady hand. I am glad to say I have both.
After the ceremony it was back to Tresillian House for the reception. As the guests entertained themselves with lawn games such as croquet, I used this as an opportunity to hold a private shoot with the bride and groom. A venue like Tresillian House provides all sorts of unique opportunities for creative shooting by a wedding photographer. We ended up in the venues orchard just as the sun was setting over the trees. I love the results we got.
After the shoot it was time for the wedding breakfast and speeches. The evening ended with the entire party getting on the dance floor to party the night away.
For an added bonus, see if you can guess what job the groom does.


This card is based on another sketch from Kristina and of course a little technique too!!
I started by using the faux letterpress technique I saw in Jennifer's inspiration showcase. I inked up my embossing folder (Sizzix, Damask) with soft pool ink. I embossed the piece then cut it to 1 and 1/2 by 5 1/4. I cut two more thin strips of white that I colored using worn lipstick and dried marigold. I wanted the color to be bold so I went ink pad to paper. I added them to the card base then stamped my sentiment (Hero Arts, All Occasion Messages). I then cut out the hole with my spellbinders die.
The hearts were die cut (Cricut, George and Basic Shapes) and then inked. For the big heart I colored the entire piece with dried marigold (again ink pad to paper) then stamped (Hero Arts, Antique Brocade) with worn lipstick. The smaller heart was colored with soft pool ink then covered with stardust stickles. To finish it off I added some pen work around the circle and 3 black pearls.
One more card to share today then I'll be off to play some more hehe!


Tucked away on the banks of the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls River Lodge pairs its proximity to Victoria Falls with private safari experiences in the remote corners of Zambezi National Park. The first private game lodge in Zimbabwe's Zambezi National Park, Victoria Falls River Lodge is one of those rare gems where exceptional wildlife, fine dining, luxurious riverside accommodation, and an abundance of adrenaline-pumping activities all collide to form an unforgettable experience.
Victoria Falls River Lodge consists of 13 spacious tents stretched along the Zambezi riverbank. Erected on raised decks under vast A-frame thatched roofs, each suite has been outfitted in earth tones of white, sage, and duck egg blue for optimal comfort. Central to the Victoria River Lodge experience are the luxurious amenities, which range from king-plus sized beds and air conditioning to open plan bathrooms with romantic freestanding baths and indoor and outdoor showers. Several luxury tents boast their own private plunge pools, while five family tents offer adjoining tented rooms for the children. All tents come with private viewing verandahs facing the Zambezi River, inviting guests to sit back and relax as the hippos wallow in the waters beyond.
The main hub of Victoria Falls River Lodge is an open-air structure carefully positioned for uninterrupted views of the river and its resident wildlife. Animals roam freely on the property at all times of the day: troops of monkeys and baboons parade past the tents, herds of elephants lumber by on their way to river, pods of hippos noisily make their presence known along the shallower pools, and hungry warthogs keep the lawns neatly trimmed. Even the occasional big cat is known to make surprise appearances. Guests are simply invited to sit back with their favorite cocktail and watch them all as they take shelter from the heat of the sun and feed on the banks of the river. They can also take advantage of the many amenities available to them at Victoria Falls River Lodge, from the wireless Internet access and the sparkling infinity pool to the scrumptious all-day dining available in the dining area overlooking the mighty Zambezi.
Guests of Victoria Falls River Lodge have their choice of safaris on both land and water. Leisurely sunrise and sunset river cruises along the Zambezi allow for spectacular riverside wildlife viewings, while four-wheel-drive game drives set out into the depths of the 150,000-acre Zambezi National Park in search of the area's diverse wildlife. In addition, night drives and walking safaris allow guests to experience the wilderness from different perspectives, while multiple Junior Discoverer Drives make the wild accessible and engaging for younger guests.
Birders will rejoice in the 400-plus species that make their home here, and adrenaline junkies will find themselves within view of the spray of Victoria Falls, where a long list of thrilling adventures await. Guests are then invited to end a day of epic adventure back at Victoria Falls River Lodge with traditional tales from Africa while toasting over the bonfire.

Steelers vs Colts Film Review: Lawrence Timmons
By Matthew Marczi
Posted on November 1, 2014 at 5:45 am
Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Lawrence Timmons has been a near-weekly focus of film review here, and for good reason, because it has been his consistent play against the run over the course of this season that has somewhat been the nucleus of this defense.
What has been less successful, however, has been his work in coverage. This was a significant issue during the first two games of the season, but by and large had seemed to stabilize since then, along with the rest of his game. While he turned in arguably his best game of the year rushing the passer, his lapses in the passing game—particularly on an early second quarter drive—were a source of weakness on the defense.
On an early first down pass on the Indianapolis Colts' opening drive, Andrew Luck had just connected on a long reception to set himself up at the Steelers' 20-yard line. On first down from that spot, he hit his running back, Ahmad Bradshaw, in the middle of the field, in front of both inside linebackers. Bradshaw looks as though he might have gotten past Timmons here had Ryan Shazier not been there to clean up the tackle.
Early in the second quarter, with the Colts near their own 20, they bunched three receivers on the right side, met with three in coverage. Timmons was inside on the tight end lined across from him, but the tight end took the outside route, while receiver Donte Moncrief went inside. The outside corner adapted and took the tight end, but Timmons was late to recognize Moncrief, who took the short pass and ran with it 52 yards down the field.
On the next play, however, the veteran linebacker responded with a delayed blitz through the right side B Gap. He managed to plaster Luck as he just barely had the wherewithal to throw the ball away. Unfortunately, Cortez Allen was penalized on the play and negated the forced incompletion.
But it was Timmons himself two plays later that ended the drive as he allowed Dwayne Allen, the tight end he'd failed to pass off on the previous play, beat him straight down the field for a 21-yard touchdown. The linebacker tried to jam at about the 18-yard line, thinking the route would break in one direction or the other, but the move caused him to lose a step and Allen got behind him, and his quarterback found him in the end zone.
The reality is that the vast majority of the damage done against Timmons came on those two completions on that one drive. Everything else was short, but those two plays made a lasting impact. Fortunately, so too did his pass rushes, as he got another opportunity to hammer Luck late in the first half and force an incompletion.
And that time it counted, as did his other hit on the quarterback late in the third quarter on another right side B Gap blitz, although that time Luck was able to deliver the ball for an incompletion.

John Howard Whitehouse, John Ruskin and educational reform
John Howard Whitehouse, John Ruskin and educational reform. John Howard Whitehouse (1873-1955) is now remembered chiefly as a champion of John Ruskin – but he played a significant role in developing work with boys, was active in the settlement movement, served as an MP, and was an innovative educationalist and headmaster. Sara Atwood explores his contribution.
contents: introduction · john howard whitehouse and ruskin's legacy · john howard whitehouse and educational reform · conclusion · further reading and references · about the writer · how to cite this piece
John Howard Whitehouse (1873-1955) was born in Birmingham, the son of George Whitehouse, a brass founder and plateworker, and Gladstonian Liberal. As Stewart (1968: 97) has noted, George Whitehouse became, after 1870, an inspector of schools in Birmingham. His son attended local board schools until he was fourteen, when he left to work in an accountant's office and then with a saddler. Whitehouse also attended classes at the Birmingham and Midland Institute and Mason's College (now a part of the University of Birmingham). It was at this time he was introduced to the works of John Ruskin.
John Howard Whitehouse's reforming impulse showed itself as early as 1894, when he joined the Quaker chocolate-manufacturing firm Cadbury Brothers and subsequently established a youth club (in 1900) (Eagar 1953: 311). He also helped with the formation of a works magazine and pensions plan for Cadbury employees. He was influenced by, and remained sympathetic to, the Quakerism he encountered there. In 1903 Whitehouse became the first secretary of the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust, one of the fruits of which was his study of social problems in Dunfermline (Whitehouse 1905). However, he was only to stay there a short time becoming, in 1905, a resident and the first secretary of, Toynbee Hall.
At Toynbee Hall John Howard Whitehouse worked with such figures as William Beveridge, R. H. Tawney and T. Edmund Harvey. He also edited the Toynbee Record until he left the Hall in 1908. During this period he also founded the National League of Workers with Boys (in 1906), and worked with Robert Baden-Powell in the early years of the Boy Scout movement. An advocate for the cause of boys, John Howard Whitehouse's dedication to improving their social and educational welfare became an abiding focus of his career and of the many books he was to publish, including The Boys Club (1906), Problems of Boy Life (1911), and Camping for Boys (1911). He was manager of East London Schools (1906-1908), temporary Sub-Warden of St. George's School, Harpenden (1908), Warden of the University Settlement, Ancoats (1909) and in 1910 was elected Liberal MP for Mid-Lanark, serving as Parliamentary private secretary to C.F.G. Masterman (1910-13) and David Lloyd George (1913-15).
In his Dictionary of National Biography (DNB) entry for Whitehouse, James S. Dearden notes that "Whitehouse's support for women's suffrage, and his opposition to conscription, ruined his political career. Mid-Lanark, and his seat, disappeared with the election of 1919" (DNB). Whitehouse's career as an educationalist, on the other hand, was just beginning. In 1913 he published A National System of Education, the first of several books about education and in 1919, he opened Bembridge School, a boys' school located on land he had purchased in 1914 on the Isle of Wight, where he intended to put his educational ideals into practice.
John Howard Whitehouse and Ruskin's legacy
Although Bembridge would become an admirable and progressive institution in its own right, both the school and Whitehouse are perhaps best remembered for their connection with John Ruskin, the nineteenth-century art critic, educator, and social reformer whose teachings on education and social reform inspired and helped shape John Howard Whitehouse's career. As Stuart Eagles observes, Whitehouse "played a seminal role in shaping our modern understanding and appreciation not so much of Ruskin himself, or even of his work in general, but of his legacy. No study of Ruskin which is sensitive to the historiography can fail to acknowledge Whitehouse's significance in this respect, and no engagement with Whitehouse can be complete without an understanding of the crucial role Ruskin's work played in his life" (7-8). Whitehouse first encountered Ruskin's work while studying at the Birmingham Midland Institute as a young man. In 1896 he founded the Ruskin Society of Birmingham and later became the publisher of the society's journal, St. George. In 1899, in what was undoubtedly a defining moment, John Howard Whitehouse delivered a congratulatory address to Ruskin on the great man's eightieth birthday. Whitehouse became a Companion of the Guild of St. George in 1902, a trustee from 1918 onward, and founded a national Ruskin Society that was active in the 1930s and 1940s. After Ruskin's death and until his own, Whitehouse amassed an extensive collection of Ruskin's books, manuscripts, drawings, letters, and other items, making his major purchases at the 'Dispersal Sales' held at Brantwood, Ruskin's Lake District home, in 1930 and 1931 and storing his collection in the purpose-built Ruskin Galleries at Bembridge. In 1932 he purchased Brantwood itself, opening it to the public the following year as a national monument.
John Howard Whitehouse played a pivotal role in keeping Ruskin's ideas alive and in forwarding his work. As Eagles points out, "For Whitehouse, the significance of his enthusiasm for Ruskin was that his was a private passion made public, a personal commitment which grew into something approaching a national campaign . . . . to champion Ruskin as an influence in the modern reform of social and educational policy" (2005: 9). In addition to his own books on education, he edited or compiled many Ruskin-related volumes, including The Solitary Warrior: New Letters by Ruskin, To The Memory of Ruskin, Ruskin the Painter and his Works at Bembridge, and Vindication of Ruskin. In 1919 Whitehouse organized the Ruskin Centenary Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts and subsequently edited a collection of the lectures delivered as part of the celebrations by Ruskinians such as John Masefield, Laurence Binyon, and Dean Inge. In his introduction to the volume, Whitehouse emphasizes the enduring influence of Ruskin's work in social reform, identifying him as the "definite pioneer" (1920: 11) of "policies relating to land and reform, the methods of dealing with slums, modern methods of taxation, the scientific treatment of such problems as unemployment, sweating, the care of the aged poor, the hours and conditions of labour, the reform of our educational system, the planning of cities, and many others . . . . which have since been carried out in the letter and the spirit, affecting almost every aspect of the social change and reconstruction which we have witnessed during the past four or five decades" (op. cit.).
John Howard Whitehouse and educational reform
Whitehouse set out to implement Ruskin's educational ideals at Bembridge, where he adopted many of Ruskin's most fundamental principles. In Creative Education at an English School (1928), John Howard Whitehouse's account of the Bembridge program, the Ruskinian influence is evident in the organization of the school as well as in its curriculum, which in many ways resembles the projected curriculum of Ruskin's St. George's Schools. "Creative education," as Whitehouse defines it, consists in "attempting to enable a child to develop his own personality, to find out through activities the things he can do, and that interest him, and that are going to give him a fuller and richer life" (1928: 2). Like Ruskin, Whitehouse was concerned with providing an education that would be "both spiritual and intellectual" (op. cit.), moral as well as mental. To this end, John Howard Whitehouse placed considerable emphasis on arts and crafts—drawing, engraving, woodworking, pottery, and illumination. The school possessed a printing press and a woodworking shop intended to encourage students' industry and creativity and to develop their skill and appreciation of fine work, as well as an Art Society and sketching club. Whitehouse maintained that the discipline required by the study of the arts resulted "in not only greater facility of hand and eye but enlarged powers of appreciation of nature, architecture, and the poetry of the world around us" (op. cit.:12). According to John Howard Whitehouse, such study also developed taste—that Ruskinian measure of morality—and judgment. Respect for the land and an appreciation of nature were encouraged by making gardening a school subject, while in the school's Scientific Society pupils studied their natural surroundings in greater detail by creating scale models of the island, the school grounds, and hillside springs. Students also conducted experiments dealing, among other things, with the "spectroscope, vacuum and spectrum analysis tubes and fluorescence, the composition of white light, silver, nickel and copper plating, anaglyphs, siphon and fountain showing the principle of the hydraulic ram, Roget's spiral, gas mantle photography" (op. cit.: 24). The productions of both the Scientific Society and the Art Society were regularly exhibited in the school museum and art gallery. Students benefited further from an early version of today's popular "Study Abroad" programs, enjoying the opportunity to travel to France, Italy, Holland, Norway, and other countries in order to see "galleries, museums, and other places and buildings of interest" (Whitehouse 1928: 68). In nearly every aspect, the Bembridge program reflected Ruskin's belief in the importance of active, hands-on learning as well as in the involution of studies.
The study of literature and language also formed an important part of the Bembridge curriculum and John Howard Whitehouse tells of a method "tried in connection with the school library which has led to good results in connection with reading" (op. cit.: 30). According to this method, "each boy in the school has a period allotted to him each week for reading in the school library a serious book of literature. The choice is his own, but it is approved. In this way many boys are taught the habit of reading and continue it in their leisure hours" (op. cit.: 30). In addition, students were urged to keep commonplace books, and to collaborate in the composition and publication of books of their own. Whitehouse describes two such projects, examples of "true co-operation" (op. cit.:28), which resulted in the publication (through the school-operated printing press, Yellowsands Press) of Bembridge, an Historical and General Survey, and Prose, Poetry and Pictures. The study of literature at Bembridge embraced drama as well; students regularly put on performances of plays studied in class and wrote and performed works of their own.
Creative Education at an English School includes a chapter devoted to "Holiday Occupations for Boys," complete with lists of suggested exercises and projects in each branch of study. The projects demand active researches, requiring students to draw on the knowledge and skills they have acquired, and encouraging them to make connections between various branches of learning. Under the heading "History," for example, students may choose to "Compile an historical atlas illustrating the European history you are studying" (op. cit.: 54); under "Literature," students are directed to "Obtain a copy of the local sheet of the 1-in. ordnance survey map. Visit interesting places shown on this map and describe them" (op. cit.: 50); to satisfy the requirements of "Social Investigation," one might "write a description of the town you stay at during the holidays. Find out something of its history, churches, buildings, etc. Illustrate by photographs, drawings, or picture post-cards" (op. cit.: 57); and the list goes on, providing suggestions for various endeavours in music, architecture, photography, art, handicrafts, gardening, etc. The aim of such holiday work, Whitehouse explains, is to encourage students "to develop real interests in life and to continue at home activities fostered at school" (op. cit.: 49-50). While games provide recreation and enjoyment, John Howard Whitehouse cautions that "there is no happiness like that which comes to you from living a full life, doing real things . . . . a life in which games were the only interest would be a barren life and would ultimately be left stranded before that court of the Kings of the world through the ages which all may enter who care for the expression of human activity in any of its many beautiful forms—books, pictures, craftsmanship, music" (op. cit.: 50). One hears in this passage a distinctly Ruskinian echo.
In the final chapter of his book, "Some Reflections and Suggestions," Whitehouse insists upon the need of a broader, "much more elastic, much more experimental" (op. cit.: 75) curriculum, including manual exercises, drawing, and physical fitness. He also urges educators to work to prevent "a stereotyped system of examinations from controlling the curriculum of schools" (op. cit.: 77), thereby eliminating cramming and enabling teachers to "give full play to the potential capacities of their students". Schools, John Howard Whitehouse declares in closing, should instil in their pupils "standards of true values in a world which listens contentedly either to the broadcasting of the raucous voices of the race course or the singing of the nightingale" (op. cit.: 78) and should nurture young men and women who will "realise the need of service, the call to share [their] gifts with others" (op. cit.: 79). Following these principles will not be easy, Whitehouse acknowledges, but although those who do so will find themselves answering "a call to the strenuous life in all its aspects" (op. cit.: 79), they will also find happiness. These words, like the scheme of education at Bembridge, recall Ruskin's directive in The Crown of Wild Olive, repeated emphatically in Letter 94 of Fors:
Educate, or govern, they are one and the same word. Education does not mean teaching people to know what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave . . . . It is not teaching the youth of England the shapes of letters and the tricks of numbers; and then leaving them to turn their arithmetic to roguery, and their literature to lust. It is, on the contrary, training them into the perfect exercise and kingly continence of their bodies and souls. It is painful, continual, and difficult work; to be done by kindness and by watching, by warning, by precept, and by praise,—but above all—by example (18:502; 29:485).
Bembridge School and its Ruskin Galleries closed only in 1996, having provided scores of boys with a wide-ranging and well-grounded education. James S. Dearden, respected Ruskin scholar and Companion of the Guild of Saint George, was a student at Bembridge from 1945-1949, during the last years of the Whitehouse era. Dearden, who later became director of Yellowsands Press and the first curator of the Whitehouse Collection, writes that "The average old Bembridgian, thanks to Whitehouse's Ruskinian inspiration, received a very broad education and there were comparatively few subjects on which he couldn't hold his own in conversation in the wider world" (2005: 19).
John Howard Whitehouse, familiarly known as "Warden," died in 1955, having made his last purchase of a Ruskin drawing a year earlier. Yet his work lives on and continues to inspire new generations of educators and Ruskinians. At Bembridge Whitehouse put his belief in the relevance of Ruskin's ideas into action, successfully demonstrating the practicality of a Ruskinian pedagogy and leaving an admirable blueprint for those educationalists interested in an alternative to the educational status quo. He also left a considerable legacy to students of Ruskin. After his death, Whitehouse's extensive collection of Ruskin's books, manuscripts, drawings, pphotographs, and other items was divided between the Ruskin Library at Lancaster University and Brantwood, ensuring that both specialists and the general public might have access to this great store of valuable material. A 2005 exhibition at the Ruskin Library dedicated to Whitehouse aptly identified him as "Keeper of the Flame." Indeed, in light of his many and enduring contributions to education and to Ruskin Studies, Whitehouse's description of Ruskin as "the guardian of the things that are lovely and good" (1938: 45) might also be used of the Warden himself.

The File Manager allows you to upload files to your account and generate a download link that you can place in your emails and on your Landing Pages. ONTRAPORT can host many types of files in the File Manager, including DOC, PDF, MP3, GIF, PNG, JPG, etc. If you wish to upload a video, please use the Video Manager feature instead. Anyone able to access the link will be able to download the file, so the File Manager should not be used for private files.
The File Manager is used instead of file attachments in email. Use the File Manager and include the link to the file for your customers to download or open in their browsers. Many email services now send emails with attachments to spam, so this method improves deliverability. ONTRAPORT no longer allows you to attach a file to a bulk email broadcast for this reason.
The Filebox is a separate storage area in each Contact Record where you can store files that pertain to that Contact only. You can attach the file in the File Box to a one-off email you are sending to that Contact from the Contact Record. Most email programs will allow it through because it is not a bulk email with an attachment. This feature is most often used for contracts or other documents that are specific to the individual contact.
The File Manager and Filebox are not HIPAA or GLB-Act compliant, so they should not be used for medical records or any document containing personal financial information.
Drag and drop the file into the upload dialog, or click Browse Computer to find the file on your computer. You can also enter the URL for a file hosted elsewhere on the web.

Q. What's the largest file size I can upload to the File Manager?
A. The maximum file size on our file manager is 200MB per file.
Q. How many files can I upload to the File Manager?
A. Currently, we do not have a limit on the number of files you can upload. You can only upload files that you are using in your ONTRAPORT account. Because the files are not stored encrypted, they are not considered "secure", so you should avoid uploading any files with personal information in them. We will contact you if your file storage creates a problem.
Q. I have a bazillion customers that will download the file in a 15 minute window, can your file manager server handle that?
A. ONTRAPORT has a robust server to handle the file requests and we don't see problems in this area. However, in order to protect the system and response time for all clients, we will throttle or suspend file downloads if your usage is threatening the response time of everyone else. Please contact Support if you have an upcoming event that you believe might produce more than your normal download traffic.
Q. Do you have an example of a complete file delivery funnel? I'd like to use one to give away an ebook as a "lead magnet".
A. Navigate to Campaigns > New Campaign and search for ebook. The Campaign Ebook Opt-In and Delivery will be shown.
Q. How come I can't see any files in the Attach File drop down when sending an individual email?
A. The drop down only shows the files in the Filebox in that individual Contact Record. Files located in the File Manager are accessed in the email editors using the link dialog after highlighting text or editing an image like a button.
How about mp3 files. Should they go into the Video Manager because it is multimedia or stay within the File Manager. Thanks.
I'm curious about mp3 files, too! Thanks!!
Does anybody know how to upload a whole folder instead of a file??
MP3 files can go into the File Manager. We don't currently have a way to upload an entire folder, so it is one file at a time.


SHREVEPORT, LA - Louisiana State University Shreveport (LSUS) and the National Defense University (NDU) Joint Forces Staff College signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which will support the transfer of academic credit from NDU to LSUS. The MOU allows national security professionals trained to "plan and executive operational-level, joint, multinational, and interagency operations" to receive graduate transfer credits toward the LSUS Master of Business Administration degree.
As an LSUS MBA Student, Navy Reserve Force Director for Anti-Terrorism and Force Protection, Charles Shamonsky, has benefitted from this strategic partnership. When asked about his student experience, Charles said, "The online MBA program at LSUS offers an unparalleled opportunity for military members to develop themselves on many levels. The professionalism and knowledge of the instructors is without comparison. I was able to be challenged academically while still fitting the curriculum into my busy schedule as a military leader. I look forward to finishing the program and using the skills I have learned in my military career and future civilian employment."


© 2016 IEEE. Place classification is a fundamental ability that a robot should possess to carry out effective human-robot interactions. In recent years, there is a high exploitation of artificial intelligence algorithms in robotics applications. Inspired by the recent successes of deep learning methods, we propose an end-to-end learning approach for the place classification problem. With deep architectures, this methodology automatically discovers features and contributes in general to higher classification accuracies. The pipeline of our approach is composed of three parts. First, we construct multiple layers of laser range data to represent the environment information in different levels of granularity. Second, each layer of data are fed into a deep neural network for classification, where a graph regularization is imposed to the deep architecture for keeping local consistency between adjacent samples. Finally, the predicted labels obtained from all layers are fused based on confidence trees to maximize the overall confidence. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of our end-to-end place classification framework in which both the multilayer structure and the graph regularization promote the classification performance. Furthermore, results show that the features automatically learned from the raw input range data can achieve competitive results to the features constructed based on statistical and geometrical information.


Traveling with two passports can be quite convenient but it is also a confusing process when it comes to immigration control. I decided earlier this year to apply for a French passport, as I am a dual citizen with both America and France. I was born in California but my mother is French, which automatically gives me French citizenship through the right of blood. Once I got my shiny new passport, I was excited at the thought of being able to travel freely and without any time limits throughout the European Union, and to be able to quickly pass through border control. I realized, though, that I had no clue how to travel with two passports, and I didn't want to risk sitting in some holding room because I messed up with a stern-looking border agent.
My Top 10 Favorite Hostels!
One of the reasons I've been able to travel so frequently and to so many places is because I usually stay in hostels. Now, I know a lot of people who haven't looked into hostels tend to pull back when I offer them as an accommodation option, but hostels are really fantastic for those on a budget! I promise you that there are loads of amazing hostels that provide a social, clean, and cheap experience that isn't sketchy.
My Top 10 Essential Travel Accessories!
Today I'm bringing you a listicle that answers one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people planning their first trip - "What items do I consider to be essential for travel?" While you could certainly live without any of these items, I've found that I get a TON of use out of them and I've had many hostel acquaintances go "Wow, I should start traveling with that!".
What's In My Camera Bag + What I Packed For A Fall Trip!
Hey y'all, today I'm bringing you a quick post showing you what I packed for my trip to the East Coast + Europe. I'm only traveling for a month this time and will mostly be in warmer climates, so I didn't need to bust out any heavy coats or super warm clothing. I'm also going to show you my new camera bag and what I packed in that!
A Peek Into My Travel Make Up And Toiletry Bag!
Hello there! I'm back with a post on what make up and toiletries I brought on my 9 week European backpacking trip. I personally travel with just a carry on sized backpack, meaning I must follow the 3-1-1 rule which states all liquids or aerosols I carry must be 3oz or less and fit in one 1 quart sized plastic bag. Since I was traveling for over two months, I inevitably had to restock up on items like hair conditioner and face wash, but I actually find it fun shopping in foreign countries and seeing what beauty goodies they have.
So this post is a little bit late considering I've been traveling for two weeks already but I'm still excited to share it with you ladies! Today I'm going to show you everything I packed for 9 weeks in Europe. The best part? It all fit in my carry on, which means no checked baggage fees and the convenience of walking straight off the plane!
How I Saved $3000 For Travel In Just 3 Months!
After coming back from my first solo trip to Europe, I knew I had to go back asap. I've never felt a yearning like I did in the weeks after being back home. I decided I would go back in a few months, but that required saving all my pennies. Here are some things I did that helped me a lot in saving $3000 in just 3 months!
5 Awesome Tips For Finding The Perfect Hostel!
While some may be of the opinion that any hostel is the perfect hostel as long as it's got a bed and a toilet, I see things a bit differently. I believe the hostel you stay at can make a huge impact on your perception of the city you're staying in.
I had a less than favorable experience in Rome because it was nearly 90 degrees at night and the air conditioning in my room was broken. I spent my whole time there cranky and miserable because I barely slept. On the flipside, I had an amazing time in Nice thanks to the lovely people I met at a free dinner facilitated by my hostel.
How To Get Super Cheap Airfare With One Simple Trick!
Oftentimes when booking things online like flights, trains, accommodations, etc through international companies, you are given the option to pay for your purchase in US dollars. Sometimes, it's the default currency when the website detects your location as the United States (assuming you're American).
How I Got A Ticket To Europe For Only $218!!
Yes, you read that right! No, your eyes aren't suddenly failing you. This April, I'm flying to Europe and my one way ticket only cost me $218. Yep. That's including all taxes and fees and no, it wasn't a website glitch. How am I getting such a great deal?? Well, I'm flying with Norwegian Air, which was rated Best Low-Cost Carrier in Europe by airlineratings.com two years in a row.

Home Life & Non-humans A case of mistaken identity for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker?
A case of mistaken identity for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker?
Video evidence that an extinct woodpecker is alive and well in Arkansas, USA may prove to be a case of mistaken identity. Research published today in the open access journal BMC Biology shows how fleeting images thought to be the Ivory-billed Woodpecker Campephilus principalis could be another native woodpecker species.
J. Martin Collinson compared David Luneau's Arkansas video footage from April 2004 of the supposed Ivory-billed Woodpecker with fresh footage of the Pileated Woodpecker Dryocopus pileatus, a superficially similar black and white species. The Pileated Woodpecker's wings were thought to beat more slowly that the 8.6 beats per second captured on Luneau's video, and its wings have black trailing edges. The trailing edges of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker's wings are white.
Aberdeen-based Collinson concludes that Luneau's video shows a bird that is not fully identified, and probably a Pileated Woodpecker. His analysis of the fresh Pileated Woodpecker video footage showed that its wings did reach 8.6 beats per second during an escape flight. He also found that as Pileated Woodpeckers fly away from the camera, their plumage is hard to distinguish from the Ivory-billed Woodpecker's. He suggests that the Pileated Woodpecker's distinctive black trailing wing edges can be spotted in the Luneau video as the wings stroke downwards. Previous analysis suggested these were the black wingtips of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker.
Collinson argues that the Ivory-billed Woodpecker's rediscovery remains unproven: "With no verified reports in the USA for over 50 years, it seemed impossible that a crow-sized black, white and red bird should have eluded the nation's ornithologists, hunters and conservationists in heavily populated South-eastern USA for so long." However, the original video published in Science catalysed conservation efforts in SE USA's bottomland swamp forests, which face continuing development. Furthermore, it spurred renewed efforts, in Florida and elsewhere, to find the Ivory-billed Woodpecker and determine its status in the USA.

A decade on from its tentative first steps into Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement, the RI recently celebrated the ever growing success of its Research User Group (affectionately known in-house as the RUG). Held at Keele Hall on September 22nd, the RUG's 10 year Celebration Event brought together patients, researchers, charity representatives and PPIE champions from all over the UK and Europe to recognise the group's remarkable achievements and forward thinking in PPIE.
Continuing to grow from strength to strength, the RUG is a shining example of PPIE, which has a meaningful, positive and lasting effect on both the quality of research at Keele and the lives of the patients who get involved.
With support from our dedicated PPIE team (Adele Higginbottom, Steven Blackburn, Carol Rhodes, Laura Campbell and Robert Taylor), the RUG plays a large part in the development of the RI's world leading research. Above all, its success is down to each and every one of its committed and hardworking members who have the courage to share their most difficult experiences in a bid to improve healthcare in the future.
The day was split into three sections – celebrating achievements over the past 10 years, discussing how we maintain good standards of PPIE and finally, looking to the future.
One of the highlights of the event was a special video, produced and edited by Laura Campbell with support from Adele Higginbottom, Robert Taylor and the RUG members. The video uses interviews with RUG members and photographs taken over the years to take the audience through the RUG's 10 year history and remind us of the reasons why the voices of patients and the public need to be heard in all aspects of research and implementation. Emili Sande's 'Read All About It' was chosen as the moving soundtrack to the video. The motivational lyrics fit perfectly with the history and raison d'etre of the Research User Group. Describing how important it is to speak up and speak out, the song had a huge impact and struck a chord with many members of the audience.
Speakers on the day included Simon Denegri, National Director for Patients and the Public in Research at the NIHR and Chair of INVOLVE, who discussed PPIE over the last ten years and emphasised that patients and the public should be valued and supported during the entire research process. He commended the work of the PPIE team at Keele over the last 10 years. Representatives from NIHR, Arthritis Research UK, Primary Care Consortium, CRN, School for Primary Care, CLAHRC and a host of local groups were present.
As the event continued, several Primary Care Sciences research and clinical staff spoke about the various ways in which the RUG has created meaningful partnerships with patients, carers and the public within the centre, to design and deliver high quality research which is relevant to patients and their families.
The breadth of PPIE at Keele was showcased with a poster competition. Members of the RUG selected their favourite three posters and the overall winner (Annabelle Machin) announced at the close of the event. There was also the return of 'Ethel and Agnes' – a comedy sketch performed by Carol Rhodes and Adele Higginbottom based on the use of jargon and acronyms in research.
The day finished with an exciting overview of the future. Carolyn Chew-Graham spoke about the continued development of mental health research and Paul Campbell talked about his research projects working with children and young people. Krysia Dziedzic presented the future of research implementation, unveiling for the first time the LINK Working Party (Lay Involvement in the Mobilisation of Knowledge) a newly-formed group which focuses on involving patients in translating research evidence into practice.
It's true to say that the future of PPIE at Keele is bright and is rapidly expanding on an international scale in both research and implementation projects. Ten years ago, no one could have anticipated the success of the RUG – a 'jewel in the crown' of the Research Institute for Primary Care and Health Sciences at Keele University.
Research undertaken by iPCHS Professor Carolyn Chew-Graham has been recognised in the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) Research Paper of the Year (2015) awards - winning two individual categories and also the Overall Research Paper of 2015. The awards give recognition to an individual or group of researchers who have undertaken and published an exceptional piece of research relating to general practice or primary care.
Professor Chew-Graham was senior author of the paper by Daker-White et al that won the CVD, Renal, Respiratory, Oral, ENT and Ophthalmology category, and overall winner of Research Paper of the Year. This paper examined the tensions involved in self-management in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The research involved interviews with patients in a trial about their understanding of a diagnosis of CKD.
Professor Carolyn Chew-Graham, along with Dr Peter Coventry of the University of York, accepted the prize for winning the award at a ceremony at Stationers' Hall in London on 28th September and will also be presenting the papers at the RCGP Annual Conference in Harrogate in October 2016.
"I feel ecstatic about two publications winning two category awards, and then being named as the overall winner with my colleagues, Anne Rogers, Anne Kennedy, Christian Blickem, Tom Blakeman and Gavin Daker-White. This is the second time that a paper I've worked on with Peter Coventry has won in the mental health category. We make a great team, and are continuing to work together, even though I am at Keele and he is in now in York.


This week we've seen a massive interest in mohair cloths, clients wanting mainly plain cloths with the odd self stripe rolled in for good measure.
Colour pallets are mainly mid to dark navy, 3 piece suits teamed with contrast button stitching on the jacket cuffs to give a little subtle detail of something different to the everyday run of the mill off the peg suits.

Q: Modsec ruleRemoveTargetById is not removing rules I am trying to write modsecurity rule exclusions and cant seem to get ctl:ruleRemoveTargetById to work as per the reference manual.
My server is running Debian 9 with apache2 2.4.25-3+deb9 I have tried following the reference manual on github and tried emulating the sample rules in the file >REQUEST-900-EXCLUSION-RULES-BEFORE-CRS.conf. I have written a simple rule to fire on certain arguments and then tried excluding it, but it wont exclude the rule based on the arguments. I can see both the rule id and the rule exclusion id in the logs.
I have, arbitrarily, put the below rule in REQUEST-905-COMMON-EXCEPTIONS.conf
SecRule ARGS "@rx propfind" "id:905999,phase:2,log,msg:'test msg delete rule'"

This fires as it should. There is an argument named <?xml version that contains the pattern "propfind" in my nextcloud settings page, which I am using for testing.
I have also written an exclusion and put it into REQUEST-900-EXCLUSION-RULES-BEFORE-CRS.conf
SecRule ARGS_NAMES "@rx <\?xml\sversion" "phase:2,log,id:1030,ctl:ruleRemoveTargetById=905999;ARGS:/<\?xml\sversion/"

This rule triggers as expected but does not prevent rule 905999 from firing on argument named <?xml version
I have simplified the rules to the two below and it works as expected; when I enter example.com/?test=trigger I see rule 905999 in the log, but if I send example.com/?testarg=trigger I only see the exclusion rule 1030 as expected.
SecRule ARGS "@rx trigger" "id:905999,phase:2,log,msg:'test msg delete rule'"

SecRule ARGS_NAMES "@rx testarg" "phase:2,log,id:1030,ctl:ruleRemoveTargetById=905999;ARGS:testarg"

When I open the nextcloud settings tab the HTTP request contains
<?xml version="1.0"?><d:propfind xmlns:d="DAV:"><d:prop><d:resourcetype/></d:prop></d:propfind>

which Modsec interprets as the argument name <?xml version, containing the value "1.0"?><d:propfind xmlns:d="DAV:"><d:prop><d:resourcetype/></d:prop></d:propfind>
I would expect my rule 1030 to stop 905999 from firing, but i still see both rules in the log. I am assuming it is because of the space between "xml" and "version" but cant figure out how to exclude the target.

A: For some reason the regex in ctl:ruleRemoveTargetById=905999;ARGS:/<\?xml\sversion/ did not work. Using SecRuleUpdateTargetById 905999 "!ARGS:/<\?xml\sversion" and placing it into RESPONSE-999-EXCLUSION-RULES-AFTER-CRS.conf to update the rule targets after they are loaded works as desired.

Franklin Avenue: Clifton's Closes Its Cafeteria; Will Food Ever Return to the Downtown Landmark?
A friend alerted me this weekend that downtown's Clifton's Cafeteria is closed for food service, and is currently only operating as a nightclub. That's quite a bummer — it's always a fun spot to bring the kids and visitors, to explore the forest-themed environs on the first floor. It was the start place for the Great Los Angeles Walk in 2015, and was the perfect place for the "Twin Peaks" premiere party in 2017.
Opened in 1935 as Clifton's Brookdale, we visited the forest-themed eatery several times before new owner Andrew Meieran (who previously created downtown's famed Edison bar) shut it down for what was supposed to be a brief renovation in 2011.
Cut to nearly five years later, and rebuilding Clifton's became a labor of love for Meieran, who has kept the fun and the kitsch but added so much more to the place. Clifton's finally re-opened in 2015.
Clifton's original famous slogan, of course, was "Pay What You Wish, Dine Free Unless Delighted." Perhaps not enough folks were delighted with the updated cafeteria. I asked Chris Nichols via Twitter what he knew about the shut-down cafeteria portion of Clifton's, and he wrote back: "I also miss eating at Clifton's. This just in from the owner: 'food is definitely coming back— pretty soon if anyone asks.'"
Unfortunately we're closed today as we complete our Exposition Marketplace. We look forward to seeing you soon and to a year of extraordinary endeavors! Our Marketplace will feature an array of historic offerings and traditional favorites as well as amazing new classics!
Stay tuned -- but here's hoping we'll be dining under the trees once again soon.
It is a really fun spot. Maybe they need a better menu?
This remarkable statement could refer to almost anything (food, souvenirs, books): "Our Marketplace will feature an array of historic offerings and traditional favorites as well as amazing new classics!"
I mean to be honest their food is horrendous. And I love cafeteria-style diners! Much room for improvement. Hope they really elevate what's being served. We absolutely love the tiki bar and the ambiance in general.
the community), so is Clifton's.
I happened upon their closure recently when I tried to take my Australian friend there during lunch time. Yes, the food was terrible, but it was such an amazing place and fun to take out of town guests there. Just stick to the bar and you would be fine. Sad.
Cliftons died when they got rid of all the old recipes. The new stuff was horrible and overpriced. And the bakery!!!! Gone are decades of traditions after the horrible re-imagining!
Pick and Mix and Match cafeteria was why I liked Clifton's so much. The ability to "build your own meal" based upon food that you actually SEE is EXTREMELY important. Reasonably priced for cafeteria food is also important. Cafeteria people don't like the hidden "surprise me" food schlepped by overpaid waiters.
how can you have "new classics"???
Cliftons died when they got rid of all the old recipes. The new stuff was overpriced. And the bakery!!!! Gone are decades of traditions! So sad!
I was excited to go there when they reopened, but reviews were so bad that I stayed away. Stories of chaotic organization, sky-high prices, and poor food. I think they needed better management to make a success of it. I hope they do succeed with whatever changes they're implementing!
They would still be open for dining if the food was more palatable. As it was one needed clothe pin to pinch our noses to eat their food. I really wanted the Cafeteria to be successful, but how could it succeed if their cooks and food were on par with jails. You'd probably eat better in a public school cafeteria.
Why not use the old recipes that everyone loved?
The food at the original was terrible. People remembering it fondly are just wearing rose tinted glasses or have mediocre palates. Unfortunately the food at the new Clifton's was every bit as bad. Thankfully everything else about it is fantastic. Maybe they'll fix the food this next go round.
WOW! I can't believe the comments on here about this place . My grandmother would take me to go eat lunch there it was really nice place it's sad that they change Clifton's it was a nice place to go eat lunch. To bad they didn't keep it the way it was before so sad. Maybe they should get chef Gordon to help them with There menú .
The "Marketplace" is what they call the cafeteria. It sounds like they are only making changes to it. They, like many "diner" type restaurants have recently reduced their hours to their peak time.
I went with a group of friends a while back and it was not very good, not a place I would tell anyone to visit for good food, it was just like an old funky museum and it looked like the good stuff had been looted.
I don't think this type of operation can make a go of it anymore.
As one who has had the pleasure of eating at this location for most of my 4 score years, I feel that it should be preserved in the present form. It is a landmark and a symbol of great times.
The food at the old Clifton's, albeit not gourmet, was simple, honest and affordable. Went once after the re-opening to eat some dessicated overpriced scraps with a distinct eau de Frigidaire, and never returned.

His 'n' Hers
His 'n' Hers is the fourth studio album by Pulp and is commonly cited as the band's breakthrough album, reaching number 9 in the UK charts.
Release and aftermath
In 1998, Q magazine readers voted it the 70th greatest album of all time. A "deluxe edition" of His 'n' Hers was released on 11 September 2006. It contained a second disc of B-sides, demos and rarities. "Lipgloss", "Do You Remember the First Time", "Razzmatazz", and a new mix of "Babies" were released as singles, the latter as part of the "Sisters EP". The album closer, 'David's Last Summer', is notable as being one of Pulp's most narrative songs, delivered entirely in spoken word apart from the chorus despite being an uptempo track.
It lost out to Elegant Slumming by M People in the 1994 Mercury Music Prize by, as presenter Mark Radcliffe put it in an edition of British rock show The White Room, "one measly vote".
All the music is written by Pulp, all lyrics are written by Jarvis Cocker.

His N' Hers
I've got the time / and you've got the space / I'm gonna wipe you down
and lick the smile off your face, the smile off your face
Though we know that it's wrong / towel sets / matching combs
Oh it looks so good but does it turn you on?
Oh... / I want you now / and I want you here / so lie down by the fire
and if the neighbours hear, the neighbours hear
'cos they don't understand / what you've got / in your hand
Oh... yeah! / Are we going to do it again?
Sideways? / I was still in the queue when you came
Delivered me from his 'n' hers / you pulled the units down
Delivered me from his 'n' hers / and when I saw his face
oh it made me feel better / Oh now it's gone too far / we gave up hope
and the future's bleak / just a soap on a rope, a soap on a rope
Put the rope around his neck
Pull it tight / he's erect / oh and it looks so good but does it turn you on?
Shove it in sideways / I was still in the queue when you came
oh it made me feel better
So we laid in bed afterwards and / she asked me
what made me frightened / and I said
"I'm frightened of Belgian chocolates / I'm frightened of pot pourri
I'm frightened of James Dean posters
I'm frightened of twenty-six inch screens / I'm frightened of remote control
I'm frightened of endowment plans / I'm frightened of figurines
I'm frightened of evenings in the Brincliffe Oaks searching for a conversation."
"Oh you're stupid," she said / and she took my hand
she took my hand and she said / "I want
I want you / I want you to / I want you to touch
I want you to touch me / I want you to touch me."
Oh... / Are we going to do it again? / Shove it in sideways
I was still in the queue when you came

Chunky rubber sole, block heel, metal hooks, beige nubuck leather spliced with smooth black trim? OMG! I finally found ankle boots that go well with all the jeans. Seriously! From the light blue straight jeans, dark blue mom jeans and even black ripped skinny jeans! Not mentioning how comfortable and fashionable these hiking booties are. No wonders why hiking boots just got their own emoji recently. Yes, it's the hiking-inspired boots we are talking about this time. And here is how to style hiking boots with skinny jeans.
Guess what? The skinny jeans are back! If you like it or not, everyone chic is wearing skinny jeans this winter again. And no, we are not bringing the skinny jeans back just because they are great for ice skating, but because of the newest ankle boots.
Yes, there are new boots in the town. And they go so well with the skinny jeans. Well, actually they are not that new anymore. Hiking boots were all over the Paris, London, Milan and New York months ago already. I even wrote about this new trend – the gorpcore, hiking-inspired fashion trend, remember? Over here in case, you forgot.
Anyway, winter 2018 is the season of this fashion power couple. The skinny jeans and hiking boots. Or better say hiking-inspired boots as we all know we couldn't reach any top of the hill in these platform ankle boots.
Still, who cares? As long as we can climb to the top floor of our favourite department stores, Galeries Lafayette and Le Bon Marché to see Paris from the above and don't slip or stumble on our way to the top, we are good to go.
Ha, see me, talking about Paris when I'm actually walking in the rain mixed with snow in Ljubljana.
Nevertheless, the point is that these hiking-inspired ankle boots will take you far. Not only regarding the distance but fashion sense as well. I repeat, the hiking boots, pardon, hiking-inspired boots, are one of 3 most fashionable boots of winter 2018 2019. Ps. Go here to see the rest of 2019 fashionable winter boots.
So, how to wear hiking boots this winter then? Apart from the pencil skirt and bodycon cocktail dress with whatever you want. Just not wherever you want. I hate to write this, but unless you work in fashion, hiking boots are, same as the skinny jeans, not your 9-5 weekday shoes if you work in the office and you must dress up to the dressing code.
Even though building your career seems like climbing to the top of the mountain most of the time, these hiking boots won't take you to this top. Nor as said before, actual top of the mountain. But they are, however, good rain and snow boots. Thanks to the chunky rubber sole that prevents you from slipping or getting wet.
And great ankle boots for walking long distances around the town, or countryside. You can't even imagine how comfortable these hiking boots from See by Chloé (shop here) are. Truth to be told these hiking-inspired boots are more comfortable than my real hiking boots. Those that are actually meant for hiking.
Anyhow, as said you can wear your hiking boots, hiking-inspired boots with almost everything. Even with the skinny jeans. Yes, your favourite type of jeans that you otherwise can't wear with any other shoes but sneakers and ballerina flats. And in some cases over the knee boots. But not slouchy, as they don't really look that good with the skinny jeans. Plus the colour of the skinny jeans and OTK boots must match.
Anyway, there is no such thing as colour mismatching when it comes to the hiking boots and skinny jeans this season. Or any other jeans, as a matter of fact. You can take any type and colour of jeans and wear them with these hiking boots as it was a match made in fashion editorial.
In fact, styling hiking boots with skinny jeans is so simple you don't even need a fashion cheat sheet this time. Still, adding it anyway since I know how much you like to pin and save my fashion cheat sheets.
So here they are, the fashion cheat sheets for styling hiking boots with skinny jeans for winter 2019. I added two since I'm wearing my hiking boots and skinny jeans in two different weather conditions. The first one is for spring 2019 and the second is for rainy winter days.
Be sure to share these fashion cheat sheets with your friend who walks around in ballerina flats all winter long just because she has no other shoes to wear with her skinny jeans.
Ps. The fastest way to shop my See by Chloé hiking boots and everything else that I'm wearing is to simply click inside those pink frames that will pop up once you touch the fashion cheat sheets. Yet, don't forget to check the widget below to find all the items I'm wearing. Including the makeup, umbrella and gloves.
As mentioned earlier, I'm wearing my new See by Chloé hiking boots. I got them over here, but you can also get my See by Chloé hiking-inspired boots here and here (best for the US). Check all sites as these booties will go out of stock faster than you can climb on the top floor of your favourite store.
By the way, if the heels of my ankle boots seem too high for you, there are these hiking-inspired boots from See by Chloé with lower heels too (check them here). They actually look even prettier than mine since they come with the shearling trim. Oh, I want those too. Luckily, they are 30% off now! You know, the winter sale? Ps. Check this list to find the code you might need to get these boots (and the ones I'm wearing) on sale.
Furthermore, if you want no heel at all, there are also these See by Chloé hiking boots over here (in dark brown) in here (in the same colour as mine).
These skinny jeans that I'm wearing here are from Diesel (shop here). Which, are with no doubt, the best skinny jeans ever. They are so stretchy and comfortable that feel like yoga pants. I guess these skinny jeans were made for hiking.
And what is even better, they stay the same after years of wearing and washing. Yes, I wash my jeans on repeat. Like for the last 3 or 4 years. I don't know exactly when I got them. But I know it has been more than 3 years ago. And they still look and feel the same.
If you ask me, a good pair of jeans should stay soft and look same on you no matter how often you wash and wear them. Anyway, as said, these ripped black jeans come from Diesel. You can shop them here.
Ps. If you like everything about my Diesel skinny jeans but the holes, go and check these other black Diesel skinny jeans here.
Since you know this Weeknd Max Mara coat (get my Max Mara coat in pink here) and tweed jacket (shop similar here or here) very well there is no point writing about how much I love both today. Because you know I love them million. Ps. Go here to see some other ways how to wear both for the rain this winter.
Lastly the gloves and makeup. As you can see, I'm wearing two different gloves this time. The black gloves are from Burberry (shop here). You can get orange gloves (here) or slightly more brown over here.
As it goes to the makeup, the Bobby Brown highlighter (shop here), Dior raspberry lipstick pop out this time. I'm also wearing Chanel mascara (shop here) and Giorgio Armani foundation (get it here).
No, this is not the only way I style my hiking-inspired boots for winter 2019. Even though hiking boots and skinny jeans is currently my favourite on the go outfit. I'm also wearing my hiking boots with other types of jeans. Including the light blue jeans. Showing you how shortly! Meanwhile, be sure to get yourself a pair of new hiking boots. And don't forget you can get them on sale. Check the list of all Cyber Monday sale over here. Some of those sales will be live through the entire winter. Also, be sure to check my 2019 winter shoe trend report. Find it here.

Modern business is becoming akin to a blogger — less and less of internal information about the Company's activity remains non-public. While forming the news agenda, we are more focused on the change of external context around the business, as the dynamic demand for information serves as the catalyst for the PR-service work.

I am convinced, that high performance is ensured with a supervision of the quality of the Company's own processes, but the result also heavily depends on a transparent and efficient chain of supplies established with our partners. Perhaps, we impose quite strict requirements upon our suppliers, but we do it consciously. For us, ensuring a responsible attitude to the terms of the agreement and to the execution of all delivery terms is the key to maintenance of the core production cycle at the required level.

Russian gold producer GV Gold may consider IPO next year: CEO
By Diana Asonova and Polina Devitt | MOSCOW
Russian gold producer GV Gold aims to be ready to hold an initial public offering (IPO) by spring 2018 but would not necessarily go ahead with a listing at that time, the newly appointed chief executive said.
GV Gold, a privately held firm whose shareholders include U.S. fund BlackRock, has repeatedly delayed plans for the IPO that was first mooted in 2007.
Asked about plans for the IPO, Chief Executive German Pikhoya told Reuters: "My strong belief is that the company should be ready to do it at any moment."
Pikhoya, who became CEO in April, said the firm could consider the IPO next spring but would not necessarily proceed at that time. He said GV Gold was considering the Moscow exchange for any future float but had not ruled out London or Hong Kong.
He said his development plan for the firm would be presented to the board and shareholders this summer.
The company is starting production at two new plants in Ugakhan in the Irkutsk region and Taryn in Yakutia this year, which would boost annual gold output by 30 percent to 6.5-6.7 tonnes.
"This is a really important year for us. We are pursuing our organic growth," the CEO said.
Pikhoya, who spent 12 years working at Russia's largest gold producer Polyus, said he wanted GV Gold to become one of the country's top five producers, which would require its output to rise to about 15 tonnes a year.
Alongside Blackrock, other shareholders include the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which bought a 5 percent stake in 2011.
EBRD has been selling shares back to the company since 2015 after GV Gold failed to launch an IPO. The deal is expected to close in August 2018.
The CEO said GV Gold's priority was its own projects, but said he expected some consolidation among firms ranked five to 10 in the list of top Russian producers.
He said his firm would consider a partnership with another producer in one of the regions where it operated.
Pikhoya also said the company would "potentially consider" purchasing assets in countries of the former Soviet Union, Africa and Asia.
In addition, he said the firm was considering a potential bond placement to test the market. He did not give details.

Aaron Wall caught Google buying paid links and reported it yesterday. Danny Sullivan did a deep dive on this campaign, concluding the only purpose behind it was to get links to try to "influence rankings" of the search results.
As you all know, paid links in this fashion is against Google's terms of service.
We are not a 100% sure yet, nor do we have any statement from Google on this, but it appears that Google hired a marketing company to run a campaign to promote their browser, Google Chrome. One of the marketing company's, Danny Sullivan thinks it is Unruly, paid bloggers with a $40 Amazon gift certificate to write sponsored posts on Google Chrome.
The thing is, this campaign not only was about paid links in sponsored posts but also generated a tremendous amount of junk content indexed by Google. The same content Google is trying to get rid of with their search algorithms.
That being said, Danny and Aaron do an excellent job uncovering this case and picking it apart.
We still do not have any reason or explanation from Google. I suspect they will end up banning their Google Chrome page for the next month or few. Just like they did when Google penalized themselves for cloaking AdWords help, cloaking AdWords support and the Google Japan PageRank penalty.
The folks at WebmasterWorld are not surprised anymore. Google is huge and one hand doesn't communicate with the other, especially for third-party marketing companies. It will be interesting to see how Google responds to this.
Google never agreed to anything more than online ads. We have consistently avoided paid sponsorships, including paying bloggers to promote our products, because these kind of promotions are not transparent or in the best interests of users. We're now looking at what changes we need to make to ensure that this never happens again.
