Amrita's learning app wins $125,000 prize in US-based XPRIZE Adult Literacy Competition
Rita Sutcliffe and Dr Prema Nedungadi of the Amrita CREATE Team
Amrita Learning App was awarded $125,000 after a 12-month study of low-literate adults in the US showed significant gains in reading skills for all learners through the app
Amrita Learning App, a finalist in the Barbara Bush Foundation Adult Literacy XPRIZE competition, emerged as the winner in its first phase amongst 108 other registered teams and was adjudged to be providing the best ways to accelerate adult literacy in the US using mobile solutions. Developed by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, India's top private university, the app won $125,000 from XPRIZE, which provides effective, proven educational apps into the hands of learners around the country for free.
Amrita is one of four teams selected for demonstrating significant improvement in language skills in both Native Speakers (NS) and English as a Second Language (ESL) learners during a 12-month test period. The competition will now move on to the next phase, the Communities Challenge, wherein the final four apps will be scaled up to enroll one million users across the US. The Communities Competition challenges communities and organisations across the country to empower adults with low literacy skills to download and use a free, effective, convenient and private mobile learning tool.
The Amrita Learning App was developed by an 18-member team from the university's Center for Research in Advanced Technologies for Education (Amrita CREATE), led by Dr. Prema Nedungadi. She said, "We are thrilled to have demonstrated a significant increase in learning levels across all types of learners. We dedicate this app to Chancellor Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, whose vision of education for life skills, compassion-driven research, and global reach inspired and influenced the design of the app. We hope to scale this to millions of learners in the USA through XPRIZE and through the Barbara Bush Foundation, founded by the former first lady, Barbara Bush, who literally defined the family literacy movement."
The Amrita team created a personalised learning app structured upon engaging, culturally appropriate series of stories linked to life skills. The app consists of true and fictional passages designed specifically for adults, hand-drawn characters, and sections supported by human-voice audio, and substantial Spanish support. Lessons were supported with relevant learning games and music. Amrita Learning App is already available to the public for free on the Google Play Store.
"The goal was not just to teach literacy, but to help engage and uplift learners, who can benefit themselves, their families and their communities. We are very proud of our app and its ability to help people learn to read. So, we would like all major social-service providers and adult educators to promote its widespread distribution to adult learners. Use of the Amrita Learning App will increase the user's literacy to a point where his or her learning begins to naturally increase exponentially, with increased participation in society. From there, we hope that users would feel confident to engage more fully in civic life and become more economically sufficient," said Dr. Nedungadi.
Amrita CREATE has developed and deployed large-scale projects across India in education. These include Amrita RITE (Rural India Table enhanced Education) in remote villages; Intelligent Tutoring Systems for School Education; eGovernance Systems for Schools, Big Data Analytics in Education and Health; Health Awareness and Monitoring Systems and Simulations; and Virtual Interactive learning environments for Medical Education. Amrita received the UNESCO – NLM award for Adult Literacy in 2008 and the Digital India award from the Government of India, in 2015.

MMJRecs Medical Marijuana In 2021: All You Need To Know
In recent years, there have been many changes to the legislation around medical marijuana. A substance that was once classified federally as a Schedule I in the Controlled Substances Act is now, in many places, considered a breakthrough medical treatment for a variety of conditions, including chronic pain; nausea and vomiting, often associated with chemotherapy treatments; and tight or stiff muscles often found in people with Multiple Sclerosis.
In 2020 alone, the increase in legalization of medical marijuana gave people access to the treatment as long as they have a condition that is certified to be managed with its use. In 2021, more changes are likely to occur in regards to the laws and regulations surrounding the use of MMJ. Read on for all you need to know about medical marijuana in 2021.
How Many States Legalized Marijuana In 2020?
As of late 2020, medical marijuana was completely legal in 38 states. The states that have approved the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes include:
Image by Anshu A on Unsplash: Some states have legalized the use of medical marijuana, but only in the form of CBD oil.
Out of those 38 states, two legalized the use of medical marijuana for the first time in 2020: Virginia and South Dakota. South Dakota voted to pass bills on both recreational use and medicinal use of marijuana, making it the first state to vote on both at the same time.
With new legislations coming into effect for these aforementioned states, many people can now gain access to an MMJ card to help treat their specific qualifying condition. However, these states were a little late to the party, and some other states remain apprehensive about the legalization of medical marijuana.
Which States Will Legalize Marijuana In 2021?
The current momentum the legalization of medical marijuana has sustained could lead to further legislation being passed in states that have failed to act so far. This could be difficult for many states, though, because they already tried to no avail during the 2020 ballot, meaning they may have to wait until 2022 to make their push.
Idaho, for example, was delayed in making medical marijuana legal due to COVID-related complications. Some activists have already filed a petition to bring the issue in front of voters in 2022. Nebraska is also on the list for potential legalization, as a petition to get medical marijuana on the 2022 ballot has already commenced.
One state is a hopeful solo contender when it comes to the legalization of medical marijuana in 2021, and that's South Carolina. There will be certain restrictions put in place, such as how the marijuana is consumed, but Senator Tom Davis thinks that 2021 may just be the year the bill passes.
2021 Medical Marijuana Laws
When taking a look at new laws that may be put into effect, it's important to consider that all states can pass their own laws and legislations surrounding the use of marijuana as medicine. Each individual state controls what can and can't be done.
With the growing list of states that have approved marijuana for medicinal use, certain issues may come into effect. For example, if a person has an MMJ card in one of the approved states, can they purchase products in another state with the legal sale of medical marijuana using that same card? This depends. Some states will allow out-of-state visitors to use their MMJ cards, while others will not.
The same rules and regulations in place now – such as methods of ingestion, how much MMJ can be purchased at a time, and the list of qualifying conditions – will likely vary from state to state, so it can be hard to get a snapshot of the country as a whole since it's operating so individualistically.
Image by Matthew Sichkaruk on Unsplash: Medical marijuana changes could be big if the country decides to legalize at a federal level.
Federal Legalization 2021
The federal legalization of medical marijuana would change the country forever when it comes to treatment and care options for those suffering from a qualifying condition. There has been quite the shift that could lead to federal legalization as early as next year, and it has a lot to do with who has control over the U.S. Senate. If the ongoing battle of power leans towards to Democrats come January's decision, it will likely mean that legalization bills will pass through both the Senate and the House with ease.
This could bring widespread changes if laws are regulated at a federal level. For example, the United States is part of several international treaties that prohibit the legalization of marijuana. Since it continues to be illegal at a federal level, the country is not in violation of any of those treaties. Although Canada has been able to legalize federally without any backlash, the United States may not face the same fate.
It can be hard to determine what will happen with medical marijuana in 2021, but many states are making moves towards to full legalization. With the majority of the country dipping its toes in the waters of legalized marijuana, whether medicinal or recreational, it's safe to assume that MMJ will continue to make waves throughout the United States as 2021 progresses.

Oliver Saxby QC secures acquittals in 'builder' attempted murder trial
Oliver Saxby QC was instructed by Reeves and Co, Ashford. He led Dan Cummings during the trial.
Please use the links below to view media coverage of the case:-
IOL News
The jury yesterday acquitted Jenny Turrell of wounding with intent – she having earlier been cleared of attempted murder at the close of the Crown's case.
The Crown alleged that she and her co-defendant (and husband), Robert Symons, had attacked a man called Jeff King in the street, causing him serious injuries. Mr King had renovated a property of theirs, only to 'undo' what he had done by causing £20,000 worth of damage to the property – deliberately, with a pick-axe handle. When Mr Symons came across Mr King a few days later, an altercation ensued during which – the Crown alleged – Mr Symons punched and kicked Mr King to the ground and Mrs Turrell stabbed him in the neck with a screwdriver.

Everyday Thoughts: Self Confidence Where Have You Gone?
Self Confidence Where Have You Gone?
My self confidence tank is running on empty. There's just nothing in it right now. I'm trying like hell to dig myself out of this hole that I've found myself in lately. This hole where I'm just not pleased with my appearance. I'm running and working out, and reaching out to my accountability partners and I'm just not seeing a change.
It's been a month of hard work and the scale isn't moving, my shape isn't changing and my confidence is plummeting. I need something to change. I just need a little something to encourage me to keep on keeping on.
And here's another issue while I'm being a complete narcissist, I can't share personal fashion pics on my blog. I know, I know I'm vain. But I have some really super cute clothes and accessories to share with you. Stuff that will knock your socks off but I'm just not comfortable enough to stand in front of a camera and work it.
I know I'm my harshest critic but let's be honest when you do fashion posts you're really putting yourself out there. I don't know how some of you do it so often. You ladies are so brave and I truly admire your confidence. I wish I could take a lesson from your book.
And that's it. That's my two cents for the day. I'll pick my head up and get over it but right now I'm just not feeling, well, beautiful.
But as a little happy, so that isn't such a depressing post, I'm going to leave you with this. It makes me laugh every time. My twerking toddler.
I personally would love to see your outfit pics, you're gorgeous and I think you look amazing!
Can I be honest here Bert? Just take them and post them. Sometimes when you can't find the confidence in yourself you can ask others to help you. If you post pictures of yourself, I know others and I will love them. In turn you will find if you hear it enough from others, you will start hearing it from yourself. Then you wont even realize you believe it. I know you are going through a hard time with your body image, but you are a beautiful woman, with some great style. Hence why I go to you for advise. I would love to help you with this as your sister, but I can only help if you want it. I love you Brittany, in the mean time just tell yourself your beautiful till you start believing it, because the rest of us know it!
You are so sweet. Thank you for the encouraging words!
You are always so sweet and supportive. Thank you so much for the encouraging words!
I know what you mean. I went on a very healthy/strict diet (basically raw vegan) for a month to fit into a bridesmaid dress, the month before the wedding (shame on me, I know!). I didn't lose a pound and still barely fit into my dress even thought I went over 30 days working out everyday and eating ridiculously healthy. It can get irritating to keep it up!

To: All District Referees-in-Chief, volunteer support staff and USA Hockey officials
From: USA Hockey Officiating Education Program
Re: USA Hockey Playing Rule 601(e)3
On October 30, 2019, USA Hockey President Jim Smith issued a directive that immediately changed any violation of Playing Rule 601(e)3 to a match penalty. This memo is being sent to all
officials in an effort to clarify some ambiguity with the interpretation of Rule 601(e)3. It is important to start with the history of this playing rule. The rule began in 1997 when the USA
Hockey Board of Directors passed a change to Rule 601 that required the assessment of a game misconduct penalty to any player or team official who directed a racial or ethnic slur at an
opponent or game official.
After 20 seasons, the USA Hockey Board of Directors recognized that the language of Rule 601 was too narrow in scope. While the spirit and intent of the "racial and ethnic slur" rule was meant
to cover all remarks that are demeaning and dehumanizing on a personal level, it was clear that the language of the rule needed to be broadened to accommodate all types of discrimination.
These include (but are not limited to) ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, physical or mental handicaps, social or economic status, etc. Therefore, in 2017 the Board of Directors
passed an amendment to Rule 601(e) to update it to the following:
"(e) A game misconduct penalty shall be assessed to any player or team official who is guilty of
the following actions:
(3) Uses language that is offensive, hateful or discriminatory in nature anywhere in the
rink before, during or after the game."
When developing the new language of Rule 601(e), it was intentionally broad-based and all-inclusive. However, the risk of using broad language in a playing rule is that it becomes open to
liberal interpretation which might lead to misapplication during games. The first point we must make is "chirping" and "trash-talk" are not a part of the game. Similar to fighting, they are the product of emotional competition and unfortunately will sometimes occur between opponents. However, "trash-talking" is not a skill or a strategy, and no player is entitled
to shout abusive and derogatory remarks toward an opponent or game official. USA Hockey Playing Rule 601 addresses disrespectful behavior and game officials must apply the rule as
directed by the rulebook and its interpretations. With that point in mind, we must clarify that Rule 601(e)3 was never intended to cover derogatory or disrespectful remarks similar to below:
• An opposing player's or team's performance during a game:
o "You f—–g suck!"
o "You're the worst player in this league!"
o "You a—-h—!"
• A game official's performance during a game:
o "You're an f—–g embarrassment to the game!"
o "That was a bull—t call!"
In some cases the language and words used in the example above or similar might be foul and offensive, but USAH Rule 601(a), (b), (c) and (d) manage these types of unsportsmanlike
remarks that reflect performance during a game and not the personal traits of the recipient. Rule 601(e)3 specifically addresses discriminatory and hateful remarks that regard the personal
traits of a human being (race, ethnicity, gender, etc.). These types of comments are personally offensive, dehumanizing and often have a lasting impact on the mental well-being of the recipient
or someone in the vicinity of the offending participant when the comment is made. Given the fact that Rule 601(e)3 has now been elevated to a match penalty, which requires immediate suspension from all USA Hockey activity (games, practices, team meetings, etc.) pending a hearing by the local Affiliate disciplinary board or junior league, it is imperative that game officials apply the correct playing rule to the circumstances.
Due to the wide range of personal traits of all humans, it would be impossible to develop a list of words, comments or topics that are unacceptable. In short, there is no simple formula to
determine what exactly deserves a match penalty. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the game officials to use sound judgment and weigh comments to determine what is poor sportsmanship
and penalized under 601 (a-d) vs. what is discriminatory language that falls under 601(e)3. If a match penalty is assessed, the game officials must report the penalty through the USA
Hockey online game reporting system within a reasonable time frame (48 hours), and the comment must be included verbatim in the comments section of the game report.
If an unacceptable comment is reported to the game officials by a player, coach or off-ice official, but is not heard by an on-ice official, the penalty cannot be assessed. However, the game officials
must warn the offending team and submit the incident through the USA Hockey game reporting system (entering "other incident report" for penalty assessed and rule reference). This ensures all
local Affiliates are getting reports regarding the behavior of their teams. Again, the exact comment that was reported to the game official must be included in the report.
If you have any questions regarding USA Hockey Rule 601(e)3 or the guidance of this memo, please feel free to reach out to your District Referee-in-Chief, their support staff or contact the
USA Hockey national office.
Thank you for your dedication to our game, and best wishes for a safe and successful season.

ARY Laguna by Crystal Lagoons® Named "Cornerstone Development"
ARY Laguna by Crystal Lagoons®, the water innovation multinational's latest signing in Pakistan, has been praised by the press as a "cornerstone, state-of-the-art" development. A large-scale, truly unique real estate project, it is to be anchored by 22 acres of tropical beaches and a crystalline lagoon powered by sustainable technology, and is set to revolutionize Karachi.
The Miami-based firm has partnered with Ary Group, Pakistan's leading business holding, present in the Middle East, Europe and the U.S., with businesses relating to the banking world, real estate, 12 TV channels that broadcast in more than 100 countries, gold production, retail, jewelry, among others.
Crystal Lagoons had recently confirmed its expansion in the Pakistani market, with 15 Public Access Lagoons™, also known as PAL™, having signed an exclusive Master Agreement to develop crystalline lagoons the general public will access via ticketed entry. This latest announcement adds to a list of tremendously successful projects that the Miami-based innovation firm currently has in the pipeline worldwide.
Salman Iqbal, owner of the Ary holding, a highly influential businessman and one of the most daring in the entertainment industry, also owns Pakistan's leading cricket team, the Kirachi Kings.
Considered a major contract for the water innovation company, the developments are to be established in strategic cities across Pakistan, such as Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Faisalabad, Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Multan, Sukkur, Gujranwala and Larkana. Once operational, they are expected to generate annual sales of more than US$ 550 million and will receive over 12 million visitors annually.
The development is expected to be completed in 9 to 10 years.

COVID-19 · Health
Qld Borders Open To Victoria, NSW
Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski (Photo: QPS)
Queensland will be reopening its borders to all of Victoria from December 1, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk confirmed on Wednesday.
This follows Tuesday's announcement that Queensland will also reopen to all of NSW on the same date.
The two States have now gone 28 days without unlinked community transmission of COVID-19.
Premier Palaszczuk said a decision on whether to extend the opening to the still-declared COVID-19 hotspots in Adelaide will be made at the end of the month.
The latest easing of restrictions means people from Victoria and NSW will be able to travel freely to Queensland without a border declaration pass and Queenslanders will be able to travel to the two States without having to go into quarantine upon their return home.
Police will remove their road border checkpoints so motorists can travel freely across State borders.
However, travellers who have been in a declared COVID-19 hotspot or overseas within 14 days will still be required to complete a border declaration pass online before travelling to Queensland.
They will be required to stay in hotel quarantine for 14 days and must enter Queensland by air, unless they have an exemption. They will not be permitted to travel to Queensland by road.
Police will remain at airports with compliance checks carried out on all flights from COVID-19 hotspots and random checks on passengers disembarking from other interstate flights.
The 20 areas in South Australia which are still declared hotspots are Adelaide City, Adelaide Hills, Burnside, Campbelltown, Charles Sturt, Gawler, Holdfast Bay, Marion, Mitcham, Norwood Payneham and St Peters, Onkaparinga, Playford, Port Adelaide Enfield, Prospect, Salisbury, Tea Tree Gully, Unley, Walkerville, West Torrens and Torrens Island.
State Disaster Co-ordinator Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said the border control announcement was an important milestone in the road to recovery from COVID-19.
"Introducing border controls in Queensland has not been done for more than 100 years and it has been a mammoth operation," Deputy Commissioner Gollschewski said.
"We know it has been difficult for many people, particularly those in border communities and I would like to thank those residents for their patience and co-operation."
He said more than one million vehicles had been intercepted at road borders since March 27.
"I would like to acknowledge the effort of all police officers, members of the Australian Defence Force, SES, Department of Transport and Main Roads and all others who have assisted in the operation," Deputy Commissioner Gollschewski said
"Persevering through freezing cold nights and very hot days, they have been at the frontline of our COVID-19 response and have done an outstanding job of protecting Queensland."
Police officers will conduct random interceptions along Queensland road borders to ensure people have not travelled from a hotspot.

Travis Payne (born July 5, 1971) is an American choreographer, director and producer.  He was the choreographer for Michael Jackson's This Is It until Jackson's death. Payne also served as the associate producer for This Is It and along with the director, Kenny Ortega, was extensively and intimately involved in the making of the film. To date, This Is It worldwide gross revenue totaled $261.3 million during its theatrical run making it the highest grossing documentary or concert movie of all time.

Travis Payne is the youngest inductee into the Gallery of Greats and the recipient of numerous nominations and awards. He has received the MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography four times for his work with En Vogue, Salt-N-Pepa as well as Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson on the music video/short-film "Scream" which was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive music video ever made. He also received three American Choreography Awards, including honors for his work on "Scream" and Michael Jackson's Ghosts. Payne was nominated for an Emmy Award for his choreography work with Michael Jackson on the "Dangerous" performance for the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards opening segment. He was again nominated for an Emmy Award in 2006 for his work on Disney's The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. He is also a two-time recipient of the Music Video Producers Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in Choreography for his work with the Brian Setzer Orchestra and Ally McBeal. In December 2009, Payne was featured with a write-up in the Michael Jackson Opus and recognized for his choreography and contribution for his work with the King of Pop. He also appeared in a 1993 episode of the TV series Martin.

On January 26, 2011, Travis Payne was received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 12th anniversary show of The Carnival: Choreographer's Ball.

Biography

Travis Payne was born in Atlanta in 1971. He began dancing at the age 4 and began formal training five years later with Norma B. Mitchell and her daughter Djana Bell. In 1984, Payne went to Northside School of the Arts, where he studied with William G Densmore and performed in Atlanta's Showbiz Kids. He later joined the Harrison Dance Company before moving to Los Angeles.

Career
At 19, Payne was selected for his first professional role, joining Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 World Tour. He subsequently appeared with Prince, Debbie Allen, En Vogue, TLC, and Michael Jackson on his Dangerous World Tour. As a result of his work with Jackson, Payne was exposed to the entire creative process and began to choreograph for various other stars. In 2008, Payne choreographed a tribute segment to Michael Jackson which included Omarion on the television series Dancing with the Stars.

In May 2009, Payne started to work with Michael Jackson and Kenny Ortega on This Is It which was a sold-out series of fifty concerts by Jackson to be held at The O2 Arena in London.  These were Jackson's first significant concert events since the HIStory World Tour in 1997 and had been cited as one of the year's most important musical events, with over one million people attending in total. Unfortunately, the concert series was canceled due to Jackson's untimely death.  On July 7, 2009, Payne helped choreograph the Michael Jackson memorial service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles which was broadcast live around the world, from the U.S. to Slovakia to parts of Asia, with an estimated one billion viewers. Following the months after Jackson's passing, Payne worked very closely with Ortega to piece together rehearsal footage from Michael Jackson's This Is It which was put together from rough footage recorded at the Los Angeles Forum and the Staples Center. Subsequently, the film was released worldwide with a limited two-week theatrical run from October 28, to November 12, 2009. Tickets went on sale a month early on September 27, 2009, to satisfy a high anticipated demand; to date, the film has broken numerous records via tickets both pre-sale and sales worldwide.

In December 2009, Payne also choreographed Lady Gaga on The Monster Ball Tour as well as provided direction for her performances on the 2009 American Music Awards, The Jay Leno Show, and Ellen. He also worked with Mariah Carey on her "H.A.T.E.U." video. To round out the year, he traveled to Japan to work with SMAP and choreograph a Michael Jackson Tribute which was aired on TV for the New Year's Eve special.

In January 2010, Payne embarked on a peace tour and arranged a surprise visit to the Cebu province of the Philippines to work with the CPDRC Dancing Inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), a maximum security that is also featured in the Michael Jackson Opus. Famous for their "Thriller" which received 300,000 views per day at its peak, the video has received over 37 million reported views and is considered one of the most viral videos viewed on the internet. Payne along with "This Is It" dancers Daniel Celebre (aka Da FunkyMystic) and Dres Reid taught over 1500 dancing inmates to perform "The Drill" as part of the song "They Don't Care About Us" and was video taped to coincide with the "This Is It" DVD & Blu-ray release on January 25, 2010.  The clip went live on YouTube, Yahoo and TMZ and immediately captured more than 3 million views within 1 week of its release online.

In April 2010, Payne was honored by The Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait, the largest Michael Jackson tribute in the world, endorsed by the Jackson Family Foundation. The tribute is an interactive work of art by artist David Ilan, which is made from one million hand drawn dots. Friends and family of Jackson's get a dot in their name in the area of Jackson's heart.

In October 2010, CBS announced that Payne would join Kimberly Wyatt and Executive producer, Lead Judge and Personal Idol Paula Abdul on the judges panel for her new dance competition and reality show Live to Dance. CBS describes the series as broadcast television's first all-ages, all-genres dance series that is based on Sky 1's UK dance show Got to Dance. The different acts will compete for a $500,000 prize in front of the panel of judges, and viewers will eventually get to vote for their favorite dancers during the semifinal and final rounds. Live to Dance kicks off with a two-hour special January 4 before moving to its regular hour-long slot Wednesdays, starting January 5.

Payne also creative directed and choreographed for Hong Kong singer, Andy Lau along with Stacy Walker for the Andy Lau Unforgettable Concert 2010 throughout the year. In addition, he also worked with Han Geng to choreograph the singer's titletrack for his first solo album, along with four other dancers from This Is It. When the album promotions arose, Payne performed with the singer and the dancers on various Chinese variety and talk shows as the opening.

In November 2010 Payne was seen on Michael Jackson's The Experience on Dance School.

Payne also worked with pop-singer Manika. He choreographed her live shows along with directing and choreographing her debut music video "Just Cant Let You Go" featuring Young Money's Lil Twist.

In 2013, Payne started work in Japan with Johnny & Associates.

In 2022, Payne became a judge of the talent competition show Yoshiki Superstar Project X, airing on Hulu Japan and produced by Japanese musician and composer Yoshiki.

Make-up is a seriously creative and artistic medium and it seems every week, there's a new trend emerging. With the dawn of Instagram, we're seeing more and more trends making their way onto our phone screens, and getting suitably envious of some of the skill and talent of others within our profession.
One trend that's really taking the industry by storm at the moment is neon make-up. Usually reserved for festival goers throughout the summer months, we're now seeing this look being adopted all year-round. However, mastering this type of make-up requires skills of the highest calibre, and it takes a true professional to pull these off with finesse.
One of the first artists to share their work with the world was Genevieve Jauquet who posted a picture of gorgeous glittery lips, with a neon pink base and white liner to complete the look. Although she had previously tried the look out back in 2016, it was her recent re-imagining that kicked up a storm on social.
We are also seeing the neon love used around eyes and eyebrows, such as in the above Instagram post by Divina Muse. She used an electric turquoise to outline the eyelids and lower eyebrow with simply stunning results. The dusting of neon freckles really pulls the whole look together, and although it's super subtle, it does create massive impact.
Ugh here's the re-do, I found adding darker shadows made it really come together Tried out that neon makeup trending on insta right now and it's HARD! I had to completely re-do it afterward for a decent photo! Props to all the amazing ones I've seen I've got a new respect for it tbh honestly 🖤 skin: @tartecosmetics rainforest of the sea foundation, @katvondbeauty white-out, @occmakeup John Doe creme colour, @makeupgeekcosmetics cool 1 contour 🖤 eyes: @meltcosmetics radon and neon, @suvabeauty market and space panda, @sugarpill x @kimchi_chic brows are @anastasiabeverlyhills brow gel with the KVD white-out @houseoflashes temptress whispies + iconic outer corners 🖤 lips: @makeupgeekcosmetics prankster + @suvabeauty space panda 🖤 brushes: mix of @smithcosmetics and @furlesscosmetics 🖤 @lotusandco Jane septum clip 🖤 on my nails is no @occmakeup John Doe polish with @enchantedpolish rainbow opal polish which you can't see it's TRUE beauty but I would highly reccomend. BOTH are VEGAN!
Whilst David Bowie was seriously rocking the neon make-up look back in the 80s, it seems to have made something of a re-appearance lately, with bold, bright colours used to really stand out from the crowd. You only need to take a look at the posts from Ultra Violent Make-up Insta account for some ideas of what you can do with some neon colours and a bit of creativity.
If you want to take a stab at the neon eye make-up trend yourself, but are unsure of how to achieve the results you deisire help is only a click away. Top make-up artist, Marion Moretti has posted a tutorial online where she shares her technique of applying a two-toned neon look.
One of our personal favourites is the neon rainbow look, using four or five bright neon colours to make a spectrum of colours across the eyelid. See Make-up by Jane Doe for an example of this amazing look.
Another neon make-up look we think it super creative, this look from @vitaliy_platunov is simply gorgeous. Featuring a paint-splattered pout and contrasting colouring, we think it's incredibly effective, and definitely worth having a go at yourself.
What's your favourite neon eye make-up look? Share your opinions with us in the comments on Facebook and Twitter.

Elia Pales owns pretty much every single product Nintendo puts out, and due to his impulsive tendencies, he also tends to purchase every gaming product put out in general. Grand Theft Auto 5 hits store shelves in just a few short hours from now, but Rockstar has already released the Grand Theft Auto: iFruit companion app on the App Store. First of all, you'll need to either create an account for Rockstar Social Club, or log-in to the one you already have. From here, you can choose the primary and secondary colors for your car, change the tinting on the windows, and even the color of your tire smoke.
Upgrading your vehicle's suspension significantly improves the handling of your chosen vehicle.
Hit the section at the bottom of the screen marked ABC Plates, then use your device's virtual keyboard to enter your desired numberplate. Once you've finished customizing your vehicle, simply hit the blue button marked Order at the top left-hand corner of the screen.
Tap the blue bowl at the top of the menu options, then drag an item of food from the top of the screen towards Chop. When Chop makes a mess, you'll be given a glove symbol and, well, you'll need to use it to clear up after him. To reward Chop The Dog for good behavior (or bad, depending on your perspective), tap on the gift icon and then choose a special collar for him. To teach Chop a new trick in Grand Theft Auto 5, hit the brown ribbon at the bottom right of the screen, and then select the trick you want him to perform as standard in the game. If you put together a particularly interesting story, we'll share it on our NE Facebook account, which has more than 25,000 followers! The app allows you to not only customize your rides in Grand Theft Auto 5, but also look after Franklin's dog Chop - with in-game bonuses for doing a good job. If you've not created a Social Club log-in before, you'll then be asked to associate your PSN or Xbox Live account with your new Social Club account. We'll select Franklin from here, then go to the Customize section and start tweaking his ride. Note that certain items only unlock after you've made progress in the console version of GTA 5, and the upgrades get more and more expensive as you work your way through them. Note that the meter will decrease over time, so make sure you're keeping him regularly fed. Changing the collar he wears in iFruit will also change his collar in the console game of Grand Theft Auto 5.

As part of Khafre, Inc's historic preservation efforts, a permanent marker will be placed on the MVSU campus in honor of cotton pickers from the Mississippi Delta, and those who worked the repurposed cotton plantation for higher learning, MVSU.The Symposium is free admission. Khafre, Inc is all about building monumental programs that allow reflection, reconnection, and renewal. This year's theme: "Cotton Sacks and Freedom Quilt Narratives" will stimulate a day of discussion about historic preservation, leading-edge research, innovative practices, and foundational values. The agency and resistance of these narratives will also reflect on the subtle and continuing impact of cotton on life in the Delta and throughout the South. The one-day event concludes with a good old fashion "black-tie" (or period-piece costume) "Cotton-Pickers' Ball and Ancestral Celebration" at da' House of Khafre located at 300 Main St. Julianne Malveaux; and, introduction by award-winning poet Chinaka Hodge the volume offers a balanced view of what our children face day-to-day, on the streets of America. Over two hundred years ago, the Akan Nation (West Africa) established the Adinkra Symbols to visually communicate a system of living for African people to observe and learn.
They bring clarity and resolve to the question, "What do we (the village) have to do to show support and love for each other and ultimately save ourselves and one another?" The experiences of today's youth culture demonstrate a fundamental disconnect, to most people of previous generations.
The young writers selected for this publication masterfully describe the challenge in dealing with today's world. Because, it offers tribute to the "original" mother and her instinctual knowing of the spiritual paths that her children (all children) must take to find their way out of harm's way. Revealed, in this collection of writings are a wonderful array of short stories, poems and proverbs that present a familial insight born by the great liberator of liberators, Harriet Tubman!

Unfortunately, for most of his contemporaries (colleagues, family of friends) they never received the accolades, appreciation, or respect for their life-long work as cotton-pickers in the American South. David Matthews, MS Congressman Bennie Thompson, MS Senator Thad Cochran, National Parks Director Dr Jon Jarvis, Mr. Theodore Turnipseed, Sr., and millions of others understand the importance of sharing, and erecting a statue and National Park dedicated to the countless field workers of the American South. Though unrecognized and unappreciated, these people worked from sun up to sun down tilling, planting, chopping, picking and spinning cotton, in the blazing hot sun … This and many other horrifying conditions of the historic Mississippi Delta evoked the music we call "the Blues."On May 21, 2014, during the last year of his life Mr. King accepted our call to become the "Honorary Chair" of Khafre, Inc, a Mississippi-based 501(3) not-for-profit organization. Maya Angelou as the Honorary Chair of the Cotton Pickers of America and the Sharecroppers Interpretive Center project.
The plan is to build a thirty-foot high monument on twenty acres of cotton land along Highway 61, just outside the historic Black town Mound Bayou, MS. This is a historically rare opportunity to transform many lives in the Delta and engage conversations about race and social inequities in America. Sade Turnipseed is the Executive Director of Khafre, Inc and teaches American History at Mississippi Valley State University, in Itta Bena, the birthplace of Mr. This year's theme: "Cotton Sacks and Freedom Quilts Narratives" will stimulate a day of discussion about historic preservation, leading-edge research, innovative practices, and foundational values.
No one has ever "officially" said "thank you" to the people in the American South, who literally tilled the way to the economic greatness for many countries and regions around the world. Somewhere along the way the respect and honor for their hard-earned sweat-equity investment in the wealth of others was lost and buried in the bloodstained, tear-soaked soils of the American South. Something "monumental," needs to happen…like a National Park named the "Cotton Pickers of America Monument and Sharecroppers Interpretive Center" along the Blues Highway 61. Once the Monument is installed, the organizers' plan is to turn it over to the federal government for the protection and honor that only this country can provide. It shall serve as a permanent reminder and ever-present sign of respect for those whose hope for a brighter day wore thin, while working from kin to kain't (can't see in the morning to can't see at night).The world must be reminded of the work ethic held by the people in the South…in most instances it was an honorable legacy … the tragedy is they were never properly compensated, nor thanked.
King, (aka: The King of the Blues) will join the effort to build a National Monument in the Mississippi Delta. King understands, as do all members of the Khafre, Inc family, that a healing will come through recognition and a true recounting of the history of cotton and its impact in the South.In September, 2009, Khafre, Inc, based in Indianola, Mississippi, embarked upon a journey designed to thank the sons and daughters of the South who helped, albeit it without accolades, fanfare, or even recognition, build the cotton empire that fueled the American economy for nearly two centuries. The impetus for the project: Cotton Pickers of America and Sharecroppers Interpretative Center (hereafter referred to as the Cotton Pickers Monument Complex) is the need to thank those who toiled in the Delta soil for generations without the pay, appreciation, or the dignity they deserved. The Cotton Pickers Monument Complex would not only help heal wounds that have festered for decades, but would also help to empower the generations of family members who have been negatively impacted by this unfortunate era in American history. This is truly a historic endeavor that has the rare opportunity of actually transforming lives, communities, and the conversations about race in America and throughout the world. These deeply held convictions of education and empowerment are keys to improving the quality of life for all within the Delta. They have helped to catapult Khafre into numerous projects, which are all connected to the vision and mission of this value-driven and movement-oriented organization that is designed to provide historical, health related, and cultural education and outreach to the communities of the Mississippi Delta. Khafre has already helped young people successfully publish literature, prepare for careers in the television and radio broadcast industry, produce staged events and engage in healthy behaviors through diet and exercise, all with the assistance of grant dollars and strategic partnerships.The crowning work of Khafre remains the Cotton Pickers Monument Complex, a dream, which is coming closer to fruition, day by day, because of the unprecedented support of Mr. We have also received Congressional acknowledgment and endorsement from United States Congressmen, Bennie Thompson and Danny Davis, official endorsements from United States Senators, Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker, and expressed support from Dr John Jarvis, National Parks Director. Carroll Van West and Rebecca Conard from Middle Tennessee State University's History Department, along with the ongoing partnership with Mississippi Valley State University, has proven a significant benefit to our overall project. We are now ready to raise the $26 million dollars to make the Cotton Pickers Monument complex a reality. We look forward to hearing from you and to welcoming your partnership in the building of this long overdue and much needed monument.It is time!Most sincerely,C. The goal is to obtain as much first-hand information as possible relating to the development of America's Cotton Kingdom (aka the Delta).In the aftermaths of completing the academic study for a Doctorate in Public History at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), Professor C. Turnipseed's theory that perceptions of sharecropping, tenant farming, etc, will be altered in ways that are beneficial to the legacy of the American South when the memory of elders are shared. The monument site is envisioned to become a National Park; and thereby "the place" for memory and community sharing in the Mississippi Delta, for educational, economic development, and international tourism purposes. King and former honorary chair Dr Maya Angelou who are determined to improve the legacy and social-economic status of Mississippi Delta residents.
The purpose of the organization is to provide educational, lifestyle and cultural programs, build monuments and memorials to honor, celebrate, and recognize the rich and complex history of the Mississippi Delta and to positively impact the quality of life of those living in the Delta, especially the disproportionately poor African American community. There is no documented official acknowledgment of the people who tilled the path to America's greatness.
Somewhere along the way buried in the tear-soaked soils of the American South, the respect and honor for their hard-earned investment was lost. The Cotton Pickers of America Monument, Sharecroppers Interpretive Center, and Cotton Kingdom Trail make the case for building a National Park that offers a small token of appreciation for their tireless uncompensated work.
Sade Turnipseed is the founder of Khafre, Inc., which has developed the Cotton Pickers of America Monument, the Sharecroppers Interpretive Center, and the Cotton Kingdom Historical Trail, among many other projects.
King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in Indianola and the former cultural arts director for the Mississippi Action for Community Education--MACE (producers of the MS Delta Blues and Heritage Festival) in Greenville.
Turnipseed is the recipient of several community service and arts advocacy awards, and she was an independent candidate for mayor of the city of Indianola in 2013.
For the past eight years Turnipseed was the host of "Delta Renaissance," a cultural arts talk show focusing on the arts, education, and political issues in the Mississippi Delta.
When we examine the voter polls in the wards that are predominately African American, reflected is a general evenness for all candidates, be they Black or White. The same, however, cannot be said about the two wards that reflect the primarily White community. I submit to you the following:In wards I, and II, which are the two wards with the largest white population of voters, we see results that reflect an uncompromising resistance to acceptance and change.
With an overall total of 952 votes cast: 732 went to the White candidate and 220 for the two Blacks, combined)…check that!
Surely, it cannot be left up to one segment of the community, and not the other.I truly wish Smith had stressed this very critical point, instead of throwing shade on the outcome of a campaign I have yet to wage.
And for the record, as a citizen, it is my right to be afforded the opportunity to run a fair and unbiased race for mayor, without subtle suggestions that it is a waste of my time, as inferred in his editorial. But, then again maybe he knows more than I about how citizens of wards I and II will ultimately vote.
And to also trust that the leaders of this community will look out for their best interest, politically, economically and socially. After all we live in a community that is 84% African American with a poverty rate that is fast approaching 40% and a public school system that is in deplorable condition, both physically and academically, even under the watchful eye of the government, yet there is no outrage…from either the White side, or the Black side of town. And, I have never believed it was necessary to wait until political season to demonstrate my commitment to the people in my community.
If, by chance I am truly embraced by all members of all wards of this city, I believe people will witness an amazing transformation in a relatively short period of time. It's "almost" like magic…I predict things will begin to unfold in a substantive way like the neighborhoods will brighten, crime decreases and the impoverished mindset disappears.
And I am passionate enough to find the tools to help remedy the concerns that create stagnation and distrust.
Please remember, we are a people who come from a very long tradition of women who made a way out of no way.My overall ambition and hope for this city is to develop a strategic plan that enables a steady stream of culturally enriched projects that insures economic development for the future growth and safety in this city. So programs that not only engage everyone, but present real opportunities for career enhancements and social activities are critical.
We MUST work together to improve our community—by encouraging EVERYONE to clean on our streets, bayou, parks, etc. We have some huge unmet challenges here in Indianola, and how YOU decide to vote On December 10, 2013, is vital to our success.
Also, please be sure to come to this year's event in your overalls, or cotton pickin' clothes. The event is the impetus that gave rise to the "Remigration Home from Chicago to Mississippi" cultural movement organized by music promoters Gus Redmond and Robert Terrell. Legendary blues and gospel performers Otis Clay, Syl Johnson and Marshal Thompson (founder and lead singer of the ChiLites); along with promoter Gus Redmond will lead the way back home to Mississippi in an effort to support the Cotton Pickers of America Monument and Sharecroppers Interpretive Center project in the historical Cotton Kingdom AKA the Mississippi Delta. Though the Ball is a "Black Tie Affair" Overalls or other "cotton pickin" attire are encouraged and expected."I am so pleased that we have partnered with Khafre to host an event of this magnitude," said Dr. The discussions and historical presentations will reflect cutting-edge research, innovative practices and foundational values. Additionally, two noted scholars from Mali's Cotton Manufacturing and Distribution will present via Skype.MVSU participants in the program include Dr.
John Jones, interim provost.As part of the celebration, Khafre plans to erect a permanent marker on the site in honor of cotton pickers from the Mississippi Delta and in commemoration of the significance of this historical event. This will be a day of stimulating discussion about historic preservation, leading-edge research, innovative practices, and foundational values. The two-day event concludes with a good-old-fashion "black-tie" (or period-piece costume) "Cotton-Pickers' Ball," on October 18, 2013. This year Khafre, Inc in conjunction with Mississippi Valley State University shall organize the USA's premier interdisciplinary professional meeting on cotton, sharecropping, and its cultural significance.
The deadline is September 6, 2013.Plan to join us in Itta Bena, Mississippi!This is your chance to catch up with old friends and colleagues at The Valley, make important new contacts, discuss the latest in cultural management, stay current with research findings in the historic preservation field, and connect with people who share your core values. We invite all community-based experts in any field to become a part of the challenge to address issues of: unemployment, entrepreneurship, illiteracy, poor self-esteem, teen pregnancy, obesity, hopelessness, communication skills, journalism and creative writing, etc.
