Synthetica, a special contemporary art exhibition co-curated by Edinburgh International Science Festival, Summerhall and ASCUS Art & Science, will showcase the work of established international artists working in the field of bioart, including renowned artists Marta de Menezes, Oron Catts, Ionat Zurr, Tarsh Bates and Ting-Tong Chang.
Through works derived using the tools, techniques and often living tissues of scientific research, Synthetica will explore how our notions of the natural and the artificial may need to change in an era in which hybrid and synthetic life forms have come into existence. Using robotic devices to simulate living animals,Ting-Tong Chang's P'eng's Journey to the Southern Darkness brings lifelike characteristics to lifeless animal bodies.
The sophisticated mechanism of each automaton contain within them a notion that life can be simulated by art and science. By blurring the line between the animate and the inanimate, these inventions embody a philosophical question to our perception of what makes a living being. This question posed by automatons is still a recurrent theme of science fiction; what we think of the future is in fact deeply rooted in the past.
A selection of works forms a brief retrospective on the incredible career of Marta de Menezes. The concept of identity and a dichotomy between the natural and the artificial are recurrent themes in Marta de Menezes' practice. Beginning with Immortality for Two, the first collaborative work with her partner Luis Graça, which explores the reciprocal immortalisation of cells from two people in love, through to The Origin of Species, using CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology to alter living organisms that are the product of selective breeding and domestication, and ending with her latest work Truly Natural, that will confront you with a live genetically altered organism.
Pig Wings was developed at the Tissue Engineering and Organ Fabrication Laboratory, Harvard Medical School and SymbioticA Laboratory at the University of Western Australia. Following a residency at the UK Centre for Mammalian Synthetic Biology at the University of Edinburgh, Oron and Ionat, joined by Tarsh Bates, will present a work in progress exhibition, Crossing Kingdoms, poetically exploring the products of cross-kingdom cell fusion in synthetic biology.
The work raises questions, through actual manipulation of life forms, about the practical and ontological nature and identity of novel organisms that fall outside scientific and cultural classification systems. In what ways do multi-kingdom cell fusions challenge our categories and understandings of life? How can they be taxonomised? What are the impacts on the environment and society? Crossing Kingdoms reflectively dwell into traversing tangible and conceptual borders of life and living systems.

Q: Using several add_action with parameters inside a class I'm creating a theme framework and using a class to initiate all basic function of the theme (adding theme support, menus, etc). I've got stuck when I tried to enqueue the scripts and styles though:
I'm using add_action( 'init', array(&$this, 'EnqueueScrits'), 10, 1); and do_action( 'init', $enqueued ); to call method with the $enqueued param. That's working fine, however when I try to use the same technique in order to add wp_enqueue_style the $param are getting mixed up (the $param for scripts are also used for styles).
My solution then was to create a chain reaction to the first add_action like so:
but then nothing happens and the action is not called at all (it seems like that anyway). Does anyone knows a better solution for this or what am I missing?
EDIT: Here's the full code. My class:

class Nomade
{

    public function __construct($menus, $features, $enqueued, $styled)
    {

        // Define base constants
        define('THEME_FRAMEWORK', 'nomade');
        define('NOMADE_VERSION', '1.0');

        // Define directories
        define('NOMADE_DIR', get_template_directory());
        define('NOMADE_LIB_DIR', get_template_directory() . '/library');

        $this->AddThemeSupport($features);
        $this->MenuBuilder($menus);

        // Add support for WordPress features
        add_action('after_setup_theme', array(__CLASS__, 'MenuBuilder'));
        add_action( 'after_setup_theme', array(__CLASS__, 'AddThemeSupport'));
        add_action( 'init', array(&$this, 'EnqueueScrits'), 10, 1);

        do_action( 'init', $enqueued );

    }

    public function AddThemeSupport($features)
    {

        if(is_array($features))
        {

            foreach ($features as $feature) {

                add_theme_support($feature);

            }

        }

    }

    public function MenuBuilder($menus)
    {

        if (is_array($menus)) {

            foreach ($menus as $location => $name) {

                register_nav_menus(array(

                    $location => $name

                ));

            }

        }

    }

    public function EnqueueScrits($enqueued)
    {

        if (is_array($enqueued)) {

            foreach ($enqueued as $value) {

                wp_enqueue_script( $value["name"], $value["location"], array("jquery"), $value["version"], true );

            }

        }

    }

}

And here how I instantiate the object (in a separate file):
<?php

// Depedencies: menu registrer and builder
include('application.class.php');

// Set menus
$menus = array( 'main_menu' => 'Main Menu', 'footer_menu' => 'Footer Menu', 'side_menu' => 'Sidebar Menu' );

// Set theme features
$features = array( 'menus', 'custom-background', 'custom-header', 'post-thumbnail' );

// Register scripts array
$register = array( 'scripts' => 'NOMADE_DIR' . '/js/scripts.js' );

// Enqueue scripts array
$enqueued = array(
    array("name" => "general", "location" => get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/general.js', "version" => 1)
);

$styled = array(
    array("name" => "main", "location" => "lac1", "version" => 2, "media" => "all")
);

// Instantiate Nomade (main application)
$Nomade = new Nomade($menus, $features, $enqueued, $styled);

Thanks for the help in advance

A: The init action...
is one of many WordPress core action hooks. Hence it does not require, i.e. should not be accompanied by, a manual do_action call.
You only need to manually run do_action for custom, previously non-existent, action hooks.
Further, init is not the action which you want to hook the script enqueuing with. There is an action specifically for this purpose.
Your situation
if ( ! class_exists( 'WPSE_Your_Class' ) ) :
class WPSE_Your_Class
{

    private $enqueued = array();

    public function enqueue_all_scripts()
    {
        if ( is_array( $this->enqueued ) && ! empty( $this->enqueued ) ) {
            foreach ( $this->enqueued as $script ) {
                wp_register_script(
                    $script['handle'],
                    $script['src'],
                    array( 'jquery' ),
                    $script['version'],
                    true
                );
                wp_enqueue_script( $script['handle'] );
            }
        }
    }

    public function __construct( $enqueued = array() )
    {
        $this->enqueued = $enqueued;
        add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', array( $this, 'enqueue_all_scripts' ) );
    }

}
endif;

Pass the $enqueued array to the object instance via the constructor of your class.
Assign that value to a class property and thereafter hook the enqueue_all_scripts method to wp_enqueue_scripts.
Make said method dependent on the previously populated class property.
Create a new instance like so:
$enqueued = array(
      array(
           'handle' => 'some-handle',
           'src' => 'http://some-url.com/path/to/script/scripts.js',
           'version' => '1.0'
      ),
      array(
           'handle' => 'another-handle',
           'src' => 'http://some-url.com/path/to/script/another_scripts.js',
           'version' => '1.1'
      )
      // possibly more
);
$your_class_instance = new WPSE_Your_Class( $enqueued );

Sidenote
As an aside, &$this is PHP4, and, as I recently learned, it is useless to attempt to support PHP4, since the core won't run on it anyway.
Edit - your full code rewritten
The above is the way I'd do it. That's certainly not the only option and most likely not the slickest possible, but it does work. Given your edit, I've adjusted your code while trying to preserve some of your own naming conventions and coding style:
class Nomade
{

    /* class properties */
    private $enqueued = array();
    private $features = array();
    private $menus = array();
    private $styled = array();

    public function __construct( $menus, $features, $enqueued, $styled )
    {
        // Assign values to class properties
        $this->enqueued = $enqueued;
        $this->features = $features;
        $this->menus = $menus;
        $this->styled = $styled;

        // Define base constants
        define('THEME_FRAMEWORK', 'nomade');
        define('NOMADE_VERSION', '1.0');

        // Define directories

                add_theme_support( $feature );
            }
        }
    }

    public function MenuBuilder()
    {
        if( is_array( $this->menus ) && ! empty( $this->menus ) )

                    $value["name"],
                    $value["location"],
                    array("jquery"),
                    $value["version"],
                    true
                );

Oil production in Asia-Pacific is declining at a rate not seen elsewhere in the world, with around half of losses coming from China alone, Wood Mackenzie has warned.
"We estimate 2016 production of 7.5 million barrels per day will fall by over a million barrels per day by 2020," said Angus Rodger, the energy consultancy's Asia-Pacific upstream research director.
China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand are among the biggest producers in Asia but the near having of crude oil prices since 2014 has hit the industry and resulted in an annual average base decline rate of around 7 percent within existing oil fields, Rodger pointed out.

Courtney Love: 'I lost about $27m ... it's Nirvana money'
Courtney Love says she's lost around $27m over her career. Photo/AP
She's certainly not shy when it comes to telling it how it is.
And while it's been well documented that Courtney Love has had some money issues in the past, the singer has revealed the full extent of her losses.
In an interview with Style magazine, the blonde rock chick admitted she has lost the inordinate sum of US$27 million ($NZ$32m), much of which went on settling various lawsuits.
However instead of sounding too worried, it appeared she had come to terms with her past and was happily moving along with life.
"I lost about $27 million - I know that's a lifetime of money to most people, but I'm a big girl, it's rock 'n' roll, it's Nirvana money, I had to let it go.
"I make enough to live on, I'm financially solvent, I focus on what I make now."
The star, who was married to the late Kurt Cobain before he committed suicide in 1994 at the age of 27, cut a demure figure when she stepped out to celebrate her 50th birthday at a Los Angeles restaurant last month.
The singer, who will play Melbourne's Festival Hall on August 16 and Sydney Enmore Theatre on August 24, added that she is still fighting libel cases which were brought on by her use of prescription drugs.
She said it would make her write things on the likes of Twitter which she would then get sued for.
She has been known to commit the odd fashion faux pas but on this occasion wowed in an elegant form-fitting champagne pink dress.

BLAC CHYNA predicts she'll weigh 200lbs by the time she gives birth.
The 28-year-old star is currently expecting her first child with fiance Rob Kardashian, and she also has son King Cairo, three, with ex Tyga. Blac has made her weight gain no secret over the last few months, and isn't bothered about watching her figure during this period, revealing she hopes to gain 100lbs.
Her last public weigh in came in at 170.8 lbs, and on Thursday (18Aug16) she updated fans on her new number.
In a series of texts on Snapchat, Blac said: "So I weighed in I'm 183lbs , and loving it ! So far I gained 48lbs. I truly believe I will be 200lbs when I delivery that's 17lbs away (sic)". Accompanying the messages were emojis such as a heart-eye face, a baby and a crying laughter face.
However, judging by her motto, "I'mma tear it up, and then I'mma snap back (sic)", Blac is planning to slim down dramatically after giving birth. After revealing her weight the brunette star listed strict diet, detox tea, working out and waist training as just some of the methods she'll follow to get trim again.
It seems that Blac isn't the only one going through a transformation though, as Rob's appearance has changed dramatically since the couple unveiled their relationship at the beginning of the year (16). As well as slimming down thanks to the support of his bride-to-be, Rob appears to have a new inking on his neck, which was revealed in a Snapchat video posted by Blac.
The 29-year-old sock designer is seen sat next to his fiancee, with the word 'Anjila' seemingly scrawled onto his neck in delicate front. TMZ reports this is Blac's real name, Angela, in Arabic, though it's unsure whether the tattoo is real yet.

My name is Jennie Gelter and I am a PhD student at ETOUR (European Tourism Research Institute) at Mid Sweden University. My PhD project focus on emerging smart cities and destinations, to make sense of the tumultuous changes that have come about through disruptive new technologies, affecting the tourism industry as information technology is a major driving force of change. The development of smart cities and destinations is unpredictable and challenging due to digitalisation with new forms of travel behaviour. Hence, adapting tothe emerging technologies, will lead to new challenges within tourism in general and destination development specifically. Digitalisation has also opened new channels for smart communication and information transfer that will affect the way that businesses, cities and destinations are organised and managed, as well as how travellers interact with destinations and tourism suppliers.
Contributing factors for such smart development are both the emergence of new digital opportunities such as Artificial Intelligence and Internet-of Things, as well as new global intermediate players within tourism such as Facebook, Google, Uber and Trip Advisor, that actively embrace such smart technologies. These smart booking and information systems affect local providers and destination stakeholders and their urgent need to adapt to this disruptive digital transformation. Therefore, more knowledge is needed about the new roles, activities and processes of tourists, providers, and stakeholders at a destination in the light of digital changes and smart development. One way to study the emergence of this 'smart' digital development in tourism, is to study emerging smart cities and destinations as complex adaptive systems. This implies that the tourism industry consists of many stakeholders, actors and elements acting at destinations through interdependent networks and relations. These systems of many components are causing challenges within governance of the development of emerging smart cities and destinations. As smart development is complex and fast-changing, destination development needs new practise to adapt to internal and external digital forces in the process of becoming smart.
The aim of the research is to generate new knowledge about how smart cities and destinations can be understood, contextualised and conceptualised as complex adaptive systems. What do we mean by smart cities and destinations? How will planning, destination development, governance and strategies be affected by smart development? As smart development becomes more complex, making sense of it becomes more difficult and adaptation to the changing environment becomes more challenging for involved actors and stakeholders. Hence, understanding cities and destinations as systems and their inherent complexity will generate cutting-edge knowledge to adapt to the future of digital development.

Warning as foodbank use rises
North Enfield Foodbank has seen a 9.2% rise in use over the past year (credit Trussell Trust)
Report by Stephen Cox
North Enfield Foodbank is preparing for Christmas having helped nearly seven thousand people over the lastyear – a 9.2% increase in demand.
Set up in 2012 by national charity the Trussell Trust, North Enfield Foodbank in Lumina Way is giving out more food parcels than ever before, with 6,868 people receiving aid in the year up to October 2018.
Speaking to the Dispatch, foodbank manager Kerry Coe said: "We provide emergency foodsupplies for those in crisis. Each person can get three days food, upto six times a year.
"They can be referred by three hundred local partners – schools, children's centres, housing associations, GPs and voluntary bodies."
Nationwide, the Trussell Trust says use of its foodbanks is up 13% and attributes much of this to benefit changes. It claims foodbank use rises faster in places where Universal Credit has been fully rolled out.
But Kerry is cautious about the figures. She said: "We don't know whether we are growing because more people need us, or because more people have heard of us. It is probably both."
North Enfield Foodbank actually offers a much wider range of services than it does food. Enfield Community Money Advice and Enfield Citizens Advice Bureau both hold regular sessions, there is a free language school, and cooking lessons are provided.
Kerry said: "We offer baby food, babymilk, nappies, toiletries and sanitary protection. We can buy families school uniforms. We try to signpost people to other places they can get help.
"We see huge generosity, we're very blessed by support from the community."
The foodbank always accepts donations of non-perishable foods, with information on its website as to what is particularly needed. Christmas often leads to a surge in donations. Fresh fruit and vegetables are welcome, but the foodbank cannot take more than it expects to distribute.
About one-tenth of clients are referred to Enfield North Foodbank because of benefit delays. Nationally, the Trussell Trust agrees that foodbanks are not a permanent solution, and has launched a three year research programme. Emma Revie, the charity's chief executive, said: "Foodbanks are providing absolutely vital, compassionate support, in communities across our country, but no charity can replace the dignity of having long-term financial security.
"We need to end poverty – we need to ensure that everyone has enough money coming in to cover the cost of the essentials. Poverty is about big structural issues that we need to work together as a nation to tackle."
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesperson said: "The reasons why people use foodbanks are complex. We continue to spend around £90billion a year supporting people who need it, including those who are out of work or on a low income."

Maine prepares for state version of 'repeal and replace'
By Julian Pecquet - 11/22/10 07:16 PM EST
Maine's incoming Republican governor, Paul LePage, is preparing to fulfill his campaign promise of repealing that state's universal coverage experiment, reports Stateline.org.
Maine's program, called Dirigo ("I lead," the state's Latin motto), was approved in 2003. It predates not only Democrats' healthcare reform law but also the 2006 Massachusetts model after which the federal law is modeled.
Unlike the Massachusetts and federal laws, which require people to buy their choice of private coverage with subsidies, the Maine program created a subsidized healthcare plan called DirigoChoice offered through Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. LePage, who has the support of the Tea Party, has called the program a "costly failure" that covers only 3,400 people.
Maine is one of two states, along with Wisconsin, where complete Democratic control of the executive and legislative branch flipped to total Republican control in the midterms.

The Coroner's Lunch by Colin Cotterill
by Colin Cotterill
Soho, 2004
I don't think I could have asked for a better way to start the year. This series of mysteries about Dr. Siri Paiboon, Head Coroner for the fledgling communist regime in Laos in the 1970s, has been on my radar for a long time. I decided to pick the first one up for my mother for Christmas, as she's always on the lookout for new mystery series; I decided I'd better read it first before I gave it to her, to make sure it was as good as the internet whispers suggested. (In my defence: I read a library copy, not the shiny new one that arrived for her!) And it was as good as I had hoped. Maybe even better.
A lot of the buzz around Dr. Siri suggests some sort of relation to Mma Ramotswe of No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency fame. I find this a bit misleading, because though there are some similarities, the tone of the books is completely different. Both do feature protagonists who have lived full lives before coming to their own as detectives, who aren't particularly concerned about the establishment and authority, and both are set in locales far different from the vast, vast majority of English-language mysteries out there. But I think the similarities stop there, really, and I almost find it a bit... irksome that because these two series are set in different "exotic" locations they get lumped together by critics.
This book, at least, was a lot darker, and the pacing was faster, and the stakes were higher than I recall from No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (and yes, I did really like that book too, but it's a very different animal.) People die. In unpleasant ways. Siri is doing a complex dance of trying to get to the truth and trying to work within a new system that hasn't really figured itself out yet. He's dealing with political intrigue as much as individual cases. In some ways, though, it is also deceptively gentle; Siri himself is a wryly observant, obstinate, and compassionate soul with a crusty exterior. He's not afraid of much, even the things he should be, but he does worry about those around him.
Dr. Siri Paiboon happens to be the last qualified (and we use this term loosely) person left in Laos to be head coroner after the victory of the communist rebels over the monarchy. Everyone else with the necessary education has fled the country. After being part of the cause for 40 years, he had assumed he'd get to rest to the end of his days -- he is 72, after all, decades older than the average life expectancy of his countrymen. But he is pressed into service despite the fact that he's never performed an autopsy in his life, and he's not particularly pleased to have to start now. Hampered by lack of supplies, experience, and co-operation from his superiors at the Justice Department, Siri sets out to do the best job he can with what he has. Things plod along slowly until one Mrs. Nitnoy, wife of a senior official in the new government, shows up in his freezer -- and is just as quickly hustled out by her now widowed husband, before Siri has the chance to finish his autopsy and his report.
And that's not all. Before long, Siri has someone who might have been a top-secret Vietnamese diplomat on his table, and a couple of senior military officials who died very, very strangely are waiting for him in the south of the country... and Siri is about to be busier, and in a lot more trouble, than he has been in a long, long time.
I am having trouble writing this review largely because I don't want it to be ten thousand words long. The summary is bare-bones, and look at the size of it! There is a lot of complexity here in this relatively short book.
I really, really enjoyed this read, more than I expected to once I realized that it wasn't just straight forensic mystery. Because Siri isn't just a coroner and a scientist and a very sharp amateur detective, but he also happens to see the spirits of the dead in his dreams. I wasn't sure how that was going to work for me when it popped up pretty much in the second chapter. And then it got weirder and I was carried along with the flow, because it all grew out of the plot and characters and setting so organically. I have nothing against fantasy, but I do have trouble when I'm not expecting my straight-up mysteries and fantasy to cross (see: Maisie Dobbs.) But here, Siri's visions didn't feel out of place or odd, nor did they feel at all deus ex machina. Even when things got really weird in the middle of the book, I was right there along for the ride. It didn't have a fantasy feel to me. And I think I can put this down to two things: it felt culturally appropriate, and the fact that even though he gets visions, nothing is spelled out for Siri. He still has to figure the clues out, and so does the reader. It's just that some of the clues don't happen to have been spotted in the corporeal realm.
The bones of this book are excellent. Cotterill has a real grasp on the time and place and culture, and he's creative with his characters, and his plots (there are several) are twisted and thrilling and deftly managed. The writing is funny (often very funny) without making fun, descriptive while managing a wonderful concision, and there is a dry factuality about all of it, mixed with the colour of the Laotian language and culture, that really works. The setting feels foreign, as it should to me, but without ever making me feel like I couldn't understand what was going on, or that I couldn't connect with the humans populating the story. Cotterill is both clear-eyed and respectful.
The only thing that didn't work for me, although I can understand why he did it, was the extreme ending of the story. The last few lines. And the reason those didn't work was because it felt a little forced-cliffhanger to me, where I could have been quite happy if those same few lines had turned up at the beginning of the next book. I wouldn't have felt manipulated. That said, it's a small transgression, relatively, and easily forgiven. I can hardly wait to read the next book, Thirty-Three Teeth. Except that I have about a million other series I really should try to read from, too...
Recommended for mystery readers, and armchair travellers. Yes, if you liked Mma Ramotswe, you'll probably like this too. But you'll also like it if you like political intrigue, forensic mysteries, and historical fiction.

Crystal-clear water. Unpolluted natural environment. Routes suited to experts and beginners. Adventure and fun up close with nature. This means going rafting on the River Brenta and experiencing the thrills of going down the river with a group of friends or with your family. By day or night. With modules customised according to your needs. Waves, rapids, reversals, and pools of water in which to plunge will enliven your weekend discovering the river with activities worked out specially for you. All immersed in the tranquillity of the Valley of the Brenta, where everything is history, nature and relaxation.
After descending the river, there is nothing better than a tasting of Morlacco del Grappa, the traditional cheese with a very old history produced by craftsmen in the valley's cheese factories.
For lovers of potholing, there is a guided tour in the Grotte di Oliero caves, located at the source of the river of the same name, one of the largest karst springs in Europe. In the park you can go further by boat to admire the lofty walls of rock and the wide range of mountain flora.
In August we suggest watching the Palio delle Zattere raft race, a contest between the hamlets and countryside of Valstagna (the "Paese delle Zattere", raft country), which battle for the prestigious trophy by racing on the waters of the Brenta, over a section that is striking and picturesque.
Rafting on the River Brenta (with use of equipment included), dinner based on traditional produce, overnight stay in the area of San Nazario in a double room and B&B service, guided tours of the Oliero caves. Possibility of visiting the Tobacco Museum at Carpanè in San Nazario. Cost from € 145,00 a head.
For those who travel on their own and like to set their own pace in complete relaxation, and at the same time get to know new people in the context of sporting activities and unforgttable landscapes, here is a suggestion that will allow you to enjoy winter's white mantle which covers the Little Dolomites, literally skimming the snow with a tool that enables you to walk on snow-covered mountains in a straightforward and natural way: snowshoes. The woods in white, the silence, the warmth of the fireplace within the perfectly furnished shelters of the Little Dolomites. The paths rich in charm and the characteristically clear sky of the mountains around Recoaro or Tonezza. The night, enchanted as it can be only in these parts.
Walking with showshoes on routes organised exclusively, accompanied by an expert guide, it is possible to walk without losing a single detail of the views that the Little Dolomites offer the senses. The snow and the stars, the fire and the moon, the company and the self-reflection that only an atmosphere of this kind can inspire. The routes offered unfold on the slopes of the Little Dolomites, along paths rich in nature's variety and natural terraces with fine views.
Ideal for socialising during the walk, stopping to admire the moon and the view by night and taking photographs of the unique landscape.
Showshoeing on the slopes of the Little Dolomites with a halt during the route at a shelter with vin brulè tasting, group dinner with sampling of gnocchi pasta with fioreta cheese and other characteristic local produce (accompanied by a stargazer on request to show you and tell you about the magic of the stars and their legends). Overnight stay in single room with B&B service and dinner with the group in a typical restaurant of the area. On request: packed meal, nature guide and showshoe (ciaspole) hire. Cost from € 125,00 a head.
Summer holidays in pursuit of sport and adventure between Recoaro Terme and Tonezza del Cimone, where there is a huge choice between the many activities on offer: orienteering, trekking, Nordic walking, mountain biking, hiking. Equipped climbing routes, horse riding, rock climbing, excursions at altitude and paragliding. Walking and angling. Tennis, beach volleyball, skating and motocross. For lovers of potholing we recommend the beautiful caves of the Buso della Rana, one of the most extensive caves in Italy at Monte di Malo, and the Oliero caves in Valstagna.
Sports facilities with state-of-the-art equipment and expert guides will make your experience of your stay unique. Whether you are a group, single, a couple or a family with children, you can experience your holiday with the peace of mind of entrusting yourself to organisations supplied with every comfort and which operate in complete safety, immersed in a breathtaking natural backdrop.

Public speaking is rough. Even people who give public presentations al the time can still get struck with a bit a stage fright. While the age-old tip of picturing everyone in the room can certainly help (or hurt depending on who you are), Fast Company has another idea for combating a difficult public speaking event: incorporate a story.
While most of us aren't seasoned public speakers, we are seasoned storytellers. The idea behind the advice is that if you incorporate a relevant personal story into your presentation, telling it will help put you at ease and can create a much more memorable experience for your audience.
On a basic level, we've all told a lot more stories in our lives than we have public presentations. By default, it's something everyone will just naturally be better at. When you're comfortable and telling your story you'll also portray confidence to the crowd listening and authenticity - and your story can give your whole presentation a bit of natural structure, structure that since you know the story you won't mess up and deviate from mid talk.
You don't want to just tell anything, the story needs to relate to your presentation topic, but if you find the right one then your story can help give your presentation structure and a personal tinge that make it and your subject matter a lot more relatable to your audience.
Stories, especially a personal one, are going to be a heck of a lot easier to remember than a ton of powerpoint slides, eliminating the need for you to memories a ton of index cards. You'll be more relaxed, and the more natural presentation will make you, in general, more persuasive.


Use these prompts for journaling, conversation, reflection, etc. Feel free to print out the daily check in for easy use!
One of the beautiful parts of the ritual circle membership is that the rituals are flexible. You get to take my recommendations and find a way that implement that works for you.
As this month is all about working with the magic of the moon cycle, I highly recommend that your ritual time for this ritual be at night in a space where you can see the moon. If this is impossible for you, do not worry about it. Ritual takes intention and devotion, not perfection.
Gather your oils, any crystals (totally recommend some moonstone for this month!), journal, and reading materials.
Set the tone with the oils. How do you desire to use them today? In the diffuser? Topically? Both?
Remember, the oils are what help us go deep and integrate the work we are doing on a cellular level. Using them daily is crucial to an effective ritual.
Sit facing the moon and take 5 deep, mindful breaths and imagine yourself breathing in the light of the moon.
Rub one drop of diluted Juniper Berry on your third eye (being careful to not get any in your eyes).
Rub one drop of cypress along your spine (where you're able to reach).
Press play on the beautiful meditation music created by Marisa Imon and drop inward as the meditation prompt guides you to.
After the meditation, use one of the soul searching prompts to use for automatic writing and let your thoughts flood the paper.
Fill out the daily check in so that you can easily reflect on the connection between you and the moon.
Open up the Moon Cycles playlist and dig into the reading.
Close out your ritual with gratitude for the moon and all she teaches us. Smell one of the oils deeply, straight from the bottle, and say "thank you" out loud.


Aster Amanuel Desalegn lives in Debre Markos, 190 miles from the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. She is a 70-year-old mother of four and grandmother of two. Her granddaughters, Emuye, 6, and Blen, 8, live with her.
On a trip back from visiting family in Addis Ababa 20 years ago, Desalegn fell ill and went to the nearest health center for help. Doctors said her blood sugar level was critically high and she needed to start treatment right away. For the past 12 years, Desalegn has been taking insulin.
Desalegn and her family go to Debre Markos Hospital for all their health care needs. She goes once a month for checkups and to refill her prescription. Debre Markos Hospital is a public facility that serves 3.5 million people in and around Debre Markos. Desalegn says she is happy with the services she gets at the hospital, but that was not always the case.
The availability of essential medicines and quality service in Ethiopian pharmacies has been recognized as a critical problem by the Federal Ministry of Health. In 2011, the USAID-funded Systems for Improved Access to Pharmaceuticals and Services (SIAPS) Program, implemented by MSH, collaborated with the Federal Ministry of Health and regional health bureaus to develop a way to improve the quality of pharmaceutical services. The Auditable Pharmaceutical Transactions and Services (APTS), a package of interventions, is the result of this collaboration.
APTS was piloted in Debre Markos Hospital and showed unprecedented success. In a short time, the availability of essential medicines increased while expiry and wastage decreased. The pharmacy was remodeled to eliminate a grilled window, where people lined up to receive counseling and medication, and replaced with a walk-in pharmacy with more space, where confidential counseling can be carried out. The remodeling contributed to a significant decrease in wait time.
Her monthly visit to the hospital now takes Desalegn less than two hours, leaving her enough time to go back home to make lunch and rest before her granddaughters come home from school.
"These changes at the hospital mean so much to me. I'm blessed to have lived to see them," Desalegn said with a broad smile.
After seeing the results of APTS at Debre Markos Hospital, the Federal Ministry of Health and regional health bureaus developed an APTS regulation, with the ultimate goal of implementing it in all Ethiopian health facilities. To date, more than 70 health facilities have implemented APTS, with scale-up progressing quickly.


Botox Cosmetics is an amazing toxin that does so much more than smooth wrinkles. Today, the botulinum toxin type A is used to create Botox. This breakthrough toxin can help migraine sufferers to lead a more pain-free life. It can also stop hyperhidrosis temporarily. Hyperhidrosis is an embarrassing condition where a person sweats profusely. There are many applications for the use of Botox in the medical world.
1. How is Botox Created?
2. Why Does Botox Work?
The deep lines between brows or on the forehead are caused by facial muscles. Tiny, crepe-like lines are also traced back to muscles under the skin. When muscles work during stressful situations (like frowning) acetylcholine is released. The muscles contract, forming smiles, frowns, and concentration lines. Over time, this causes wrinkles and furrows. When Botox is injected, it prevents the release of acetylcholine. This allows the area to relax, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines.
3. What Areas Can Benefit From Botox?
4. When Will Botox Results Be Noticed?
5. How Long Can I Expect Results To Last?
6. Can Botox Be Used Safely?
Last year, more than 7 million people had a Botox treatment performed, making it the number one non-surgical cosmetic procedure. In fact, it has been the number one cosmetic procedure for over ten years. It's time to see how Botox can improve your appearance. SheerSculpt can help you explore all of your Botox options.

With homes and light-vehicles accounting for roughly 44 percent of total greenhouse gases emitted in the US, neutralizing these emissions would certainly go a long way towards a clean energy future. What if these sources of pollution could not only be nullified, but play an active role in reducing our environmental footprint? Such is the thinking behind the Honda Smart Home US unveiled last week, which generates enough solar energy to power both car and home, with a little left over to feed back into the grid.
Constructed on campus at the University of California (UC), Davis, the Honda Smart Home US follows in the footsteps of the Honda Smart Home System, which the company demonstrated in Japan in 2012. But in addition to outlining an off-grid living solution, its latest effort hones in on the potential of smart connectivity between the home and main grid to impact overall energy reliability.
The Honda Smart Home US is driven by the company's home energy management system (HEMS). This proprietary system, the brains of the operation, is housed in the garage to monitor and optimize electrical consumption across the home's micro-grid.
Sitting alongside the HEMS is a 10 kWh battery that uses the same lithium-ion cells you'll find in Honda's Fit EV. This battery stores the energy collected by the 9.5 kW solar photovoltaic system mounted on the roof for night time usage (when demand peaks and vehicles are likely in need of recharging).
A typical concrete slab for a house requires a large amount of cement to hold it together. Producing this cement, which involves heating it to more than 1,000° C (1,832°F), requires significant amounts of energy, while the chemical reaction itself produces carbon dioxide.
The team replaced around half of the cement with pozzolan, a substance that occurs naturally in the earth as a result of volcanic ash deposits. As pozzolan doesn't need to be heated to the same high temperatures as cement, integrating it into the concrete mix meant Honda was able to reduce the carbon emissions typically associated with the construction of a home.
A geothermal heat pump provides the house with heating, cooling and hot water all from the one machine. Water is heated in a tank and delivered to the shower. As the shower drains, the grey water is used to help preheat the cold city water, helping to reduce the energy required to provide hot water to the home.
Once it has fulfilled its hot water duties, the shower drainage is pumped into four thermal tanks underneath the backyard. Here, heat from the earth warms the liquid further, turning it into what the team calls Ground Source Fluid. This fluid is then returned to the house and driven through pipes located in the floor, roof and ceiling to provide heating. Alternatively, cold water can be pumped through the system to cool the house in the summer months.
In designing the home, the team took into account local weather conditions with north-facing windows positioned to maximize natural light and ventilation, while south-facing windows are designed to optimize heating and cooling. Double-stud walls, a cool metal roofing material and an insulated concrete base are other elements that Honda says contribute to the overall energy efficiency of the dwelling.
The home is equipped with a Honda Fit EV, the solar panels providing enough juice for a typical daily commute. Honda modified the electric vehicle to accept DC power directly from the home's solar panels or its battery bank, which it says prevents a loss of energy that occurs during a DC to AC conversion. Honda claims the vehicle can be recharged in around two hours when the solar panels are working at full capacity.
LED lighting is used throughout the home to reduce energy consumption and also as a means of contributing to the well-being of the residents. Honda worked in collaboration with the California Lighting Technology Center at UC Davis to explore a new form of circadian color control lighting.
Its lighting solution mimics shifts in natural lighting throughout the day and night. Using bright blue-rich light in the daytime, the lights are designed to optimize alertness and energy, while using an amber tone creates a more relaxed atmosphere after the sun goes down.
All of these factors result in a home that Honda says is three times more water-efficient and uses half the energy of similar-sized homes in the Davis area. It estimates that, while a comparable home in the area consumes 13.3 MWh of electricity per year, the smart home will generate a surplus of 2.6 MWh. Honda says this equates to an offset in carbon emissions of nearly 13,100 lb (5,942 kg) per year. If you factor in the energy typically involved in powering a vehicle in addition to the home, this figure is around 23,500 lb (10,659 kg).
Honda and researchers from UC Davis and Pacific Gas and Electric are currently using the home as a laboratory to carry out ongoing evaluations of new technologies and real-world applications in the housing, transportation and energy sectors.
This will allow Honda to assess how viable the use of EV batteries could be in home-to-grid connectivity and other applications. It says the smart HEMS model, which feeds power back to the main grid when the home's micro-grid is overloaded, has the potential to enable large-scale implementation of electric vehicles and renewable energy systems through improving overall grid reliability.
