If a governor's State of the State address is designed to set the tone for the year, Andrew Cuomo clearly got off to an early start.
For weeks, he has been harping on tax reform and promising relief — and Wednesday's address reiterated those points that most New Yorkers definitely want to hear. But turning these ideas into actual approved policies is another matter. For that, the public will have to wait until the governor releases his budget later this month, then see whether he and state legislators can deal with competing interests and work together to pass an overall, cohesive plan.
The governor continues to put a big focus on helping the upstate economy, but that generally has meant providing incentives to the western part of the state and to the North Country. Cuomo should keep in mind that the Poughkeepsie area was one of only two metropolitan regions in the state — the other being Binghamton — to lose private-sector jobs between November 2012 and November 2013. In short, the mid-Hudson Valley must not get lost in the shuffle.
Cuomo is promising a smattering of changes, including freezing property taxes across the state for two years. He says the state can do this because it overcame huge budget deficits during the worst of the recession and is now producing a surplus.
Yet merely freezing property taxes for a time won't solve all of New York's considerable problems with government operations. Obviously such a policy couldn't be sustained unless all levels of government do a much better job of sharing services and consolidating where possible.
To that end, Cuomo says the state will pick up localities' cost of property-tax increases as long as they stay under the 2 percent levy cap and then, in the second year, demonstrate they are moving toward consolidation or shared services.
The mechanics of how all these and other tax-relief efforts would be implemented would have to made clear to the localities — and to the public. Last year, toward the end of the legislative session, the governor pushed through a program known as "Start-Up NY" that will enable businesses to avoid paying taxes for up to 10 years if they create jobs and locate near participating college campuses. But there was little public debate about the matter, and the same was true when Cuomo worked behind the scenes with legislative leaders in December 2011 to make changes to the income-tax rates.
Things must be different this time. The state should embrace an open, timely debate about its tax policies.
Considering Cuomo and the Legislature are up for election in November, there is a good chance something will get done. But the state needs far more than short-term tax fixes; it needs structural changes to government as well.

Each year, Alwaleed Philanthropies' (@alwaleed_philan) educational program, "Ambassadors of Peaceful Dialogue," teaches 500 students from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia about effective and respectful dialogue across different cultures, languages, and religions. The top 100 student ambassadors are sent to Edinburgh University in Scotland for an intensive three-week summer school of lessons and activities to help them implement what they have learned in an international context.
@alwaleed_philan wanted to share its pride in these students, engaging the Saudi community at home and abroad by updating them daily on their progress. It sought to shine a light on the program from various angles, including entertainment, education, news, and philanthropy.
@alwaleed_philan's strategy was to educate, entertain, and engage audience members via relevant contexts, encourage feedback, and provide a steady flow of interesting content. It turned to Twitter to create a campaign that would integrate all of these goals, with an "edutainment" approach.
On Twitter, @alwaleed_philan targeted key groups likely to engage with the content, including Saudi students studying abroad, parents of Saudi students, media outlets, and followers of NGOs and global foundations.
To engage the public, video content was created in the style of a reality show, which would entertain viewers while incorporating educational elements in the background. To engage news outlets, @alwaleed_philan shared quotes and infographics that highlighted the program's scale, methodology, and success.
Share your story with Twitter video.
To give its audience a chance to share in the students' Edinburgh experiences, @alwaleed_philan used Promoted Video. Twitter's media-forward, auto-playback video captures attention in people's timelines, and is ideal for engaging them in your story.
Give your audience a voice.
Throughout the campaign, @alwaleed_philan created Twitter polls to gather its audience's thoughts and opinions, as well as to give context to the campaign content that would follow. The poll format offered a simple way for people to interact with the organization and to give their input.
With Conversational Video, @alwaleed_philan showed entertaining clips of student ambassadors applying their new skills in Edinburgh. When people clicked one of the buttons below the video, they could easily Tweet it to their own followers. This drove further engagement and organic reach.
@alwaleed_philan's Twitter campaign generated awareness and engagement that surpassed the organization's expectations, with 28.5 million impressions, a 41% peak engagement rate, and a 51% video view rate. Even more important than these metrics, though, were the audience insights that @alwaleed_philan gathered. By encouraging engagement throughout the campaign, the organization was able to collect, analyze, and consider a wealth of audience feedback. These insights have helped @alwaleed_philan to gain a better understanding of its audience's expectations, as well as the needs around programs like "Ambassadors of Peaceful Dialogue" within the community.
Choosing Twitter as the platform to keep our audience engaged was an easy choice for us. We have something to say that we wanted to be the starting point of a discussion, and Twitter had the right setup for it in terms of platform features and media tools. This helped Alwaleed Philanthropies implement the two-way communication model and center the attention around the conversation, and not ourselves.


I love being able to waste less - being female can be messy and annoying at times, but it's great knowing that your period doesn't have to bring everybody down or cost you oodles of cash. These are light, comfortable, and work well for day or light nights. Plus mine have birds on them. WIN. Reduce, reuse, recycle - a bit cliche but a great mantra, and now I can recycle with my cycle.
I love my new Glad Rag pads! I had bought them because I developed a generalized allergic reaction twice in a row when I got my period. I figured it might have something to do with the products I use, namely pads and tampons. After doing a little research, I found that other women have also experienced irritation or a newly developed allergy to the synthetic materials used in regular pads and tampons. However, the doctor at Care First didn't conjecture that it might be my feminine products at fault, so I guess it's not common enough? Also, they shrank the first time in the wash, which was a slight disappointment, but nothing to ultimately worry about. Luckily, I use petite sized pads anyway, and I don't have a crazy flow, so they work just fine for me. The cotton doesn't always absorb quickly enough during those infrequent occasions of gushing, so watch out. The moon cup would be ideal for days of heavier flow.
Had initially bought the variety pack, then came back for the three-pack -- works great and washes well!
The new longer day pads are the best thing GladRags has come up with yet. They are a perfect size. I used to buy the large night-time pads for heavy flow days but I always thought they were a bit too long. Now with the longer day pads, the size is perfect. Thanks GladRags. I will definitely be ordering more.
Very satisfied with these cloth pads!
Pros: they are very comfortable, breathable, and soft. No more chafing and discomfort like the disposables gave me. Easy to care for: just soak and wash. Changing the number of inserts to fit each day's needs is nice too. Plus they are cute and reusable! I found them very absorbent. Cons: they do take some getting used to. They felt a bit bulky at first. With no adhesive, they can slip a little, but the snap wings help keep them in place. I have a very active lifestyle, so will be taking more notes on how they perform. There is some care involved, but it is minimal enough to make them worth it. Overall, I am very satisfied with my first purchase. I plan to buy more, and I would recommend them to others.
Gladrags are great! Until the new ones arrived, I didn't realize how old and raggedy my first set had become. Years of use have taken its toll, but they still work. I showed off the new set to my husband and friends because they were pretty & soft.
Upon my first purchase and experience with these pads as a new product for me, I shared them also with each of my 2 daughters. One is in her 3rd year of college. She told me that she loved having no itching during periods as that had become a normal way of life for her during menstruation. My younger daughter, who will be 15 in just a few days, said that she felt these feel lighter to wear and a little addition of freedom while menstruating. All of us loved that they are so soft and comfortable. I gave each of my girls a plastic white non see through jug from a drink shake mix to use to store the pads for a few days when soiled.But they instead washed them out very easily in their bathroom sinks each day and hung them to dry. Simple, easy, non polluting, safe, clean and beautiful, while we help our health and environment and nature all at the same time. Great customer service and kind and easy answers to questions asked. You have 3 customers for life.
I was so skeptical about trying reusable cloth pads but with Glad Rags I'm so happy I made the switch. These are so well made and SO soft. I chose the english rose and it is really pretty. I didn't know at first about the inserts-but now I appreciate them because you can use one/two inserts to adjust to your flow as opposed to wearing something that is either too much or not enough coverage-a problem with many other reusable pads. I would highly recommend these to everyone. Save money, be comfortable, respect your body and stop using chemically-induced disposables and do something for the environment that you live in. Thank you Glad Rags! I wish I had tried these many years ago.
I didn't get the color I wanted, I think I might have click the wrong one but it's not really a big deal since they do their job. The pad was a little thicker than I expected so I think I'll go down to the liners. But overall it's very comfortable and with a cup does great.

The other day we examined this verse from the view of apologetics. In that article, we learned how Christ provided a model for us to follow when unbelievers confront us about our faith. We learned how to not answer a fool according to his folly and how to answer a fool according to his folly without falling into the trap of becoming like the fool and validating the fool's "wisdom. While I hope this article was helpful to many, this only examined the verse from an anthropocentric point of view (i.e., man-to-man).
But what can this verse teach us about prayer? How does this verse relate to the man-to-God interaction? At first, one might think that this verse has nothing to do with prayer. After all, it never overtly mentions prayer or praying, nor is there anything within the original language that would suggest it addresses prayer either. However, I believe that it can provide an insight into that central aspect of one's relationship with God, especially when tragedy strikes.
I know this sounds harsh but it's the truth.
The conclusion of God is the same about all of us. Atheist or not, we are all fools, for none of us seek after God. None of us do good. Not even one.
Thus, when we approach God in prayer, there must be an expectation that our imperious, insincere, and individualistic nature will express more foolishness through our questions of and accusations against God than we could ever intend or imagine.
But when we go to God in prayer with such questions, the answer that we receive will most likely come in two forms.
First, God expresses His goodness and His wisdom by not answering us according to our folly. If He were to engage our foolish question directly, He would be silently agreeing with all of the aforementioned premises and would be trapped within the boundaries that the question defines. But since the logical conclusion of the question comes to either "God is good but arbitrary and absent" or "God is not good," He cannot answer us according to our folly. Instead, He must challenge our foolishness by redefining our thinking. Therefore, God's answer to such a prayer would most likely begin with a question of His own. This was a favorite tactic of Jesus' and it often helped expose the foolish heart of His accusers as well as their feelings and motivations for asking the question in the first place.
Such is the nature of all of God's questions. Even a simple one, such as "O you of little faith, Why did you doubt?" (Mt. 14:31) forces the hearer to examine himself and the hand that holds the hammer. In answering God's questions we begin to see the chasm of holiness and wisdom that separates God and us. In this way, He maintains His character without being drawn into an argument whose boundaries and definitions have been set by a fool.
Second, once we begin to see where He's going with this, God will answer us according to our folly, so that we do not look wise in our eyes. God's desire is to bring us to repentance. To give us eternal life and salvation in Jesus Christ. It is not just to shame us or to make us look stupid. Therefore, He will take the argument we have set up and show us why the argument we have set up is false.
For example, in the above question "Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?" there are several foolish things within the question itself that can help disprove it.
In such an examination of the foolishness within the question we posited, we begin to discover that God's goodness extends much farther and much further than any of us can imagine.
Indeed, it is for this reason, I believe, that the apostle Paul once wrote "the goodness of God leads you to repentance." (Rom. 2:4, NKJV).
For God's goodness goes beyond the supply of material blessings and it extends past the boundaries of providing us with relationships that satisfy our need for love and belonging. God's goodness not only intervenes throughout our life history to prevent suffering, His goodness also steps into human history to become bad in our place so that we might become good and finally receive the rewards of a good person (namely, salvation and eternal life with Him, see 2 Cor. 5:21).
Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask – half our great theological and metaphysical problems – are like that.
Follow this model and you will find a heart emptied of foolishness. One that is not accusing or offended at God, but one that is pursuing Him in wisdom and worshipping Him in spirit and in truth, both now and for all eternity. Amen.
These verses at first glance appear to be a contradiction in command. How, exactly, are you supposed to not answer a fool according to his folly and answer a fool according to his folly at the same time? For God to instruct us to such action seems like a cruel joke at best and an impossibility at worst.
So, when a Christian encounters someone using a solid biblical doctrine, such as God is love, to justify a well-known unbiblical behavior, such as drunkenness, homosexuality, or adultery, how is the Christian to respond? We run the risk of either becoming like the fool or validating his foolishness and making him appear wise in his own eyes. Either way, we lose.
or need help with the solution.
In other words, you require supernatural intervention, either in word or in deed?
Yeah. I guess that sounds about right.
or performed the miracle upon request?
What would I do?! I'd be happy! I'd praise you!
I'd tell everyone about what you did for me!
After the adrenaline and the joy wore off? What would you do then?
and laid you off from your job?
Wait! I'm losing my job next week?!
No. No. No. Hypothetically. What would you do?
I guess I'd pray again.
provide for my family, etc.
Have I not been providing for you this whole time?
Have you ever gone without?
Because I need money to survive in this world.
My dear child, is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Philosophically? Sure…I guess. But practically I've got to pay my bills, God.
My family has to eat.
Do you not know that the silver is mine and the gold is mine?
much blessing you will not be able to handle it all?
My child, I AM the most practical answer to all of your concerns.
I mean, why are we talking?
Because, God, You know all things! You can do all things!
But what good does any of my wisdom or help do for you if you value your personal security above your relationship with me? I do not want to be another method that you use to increase your happiness. I want to be the end that you are pursuing, not another means by which you seek yourself.
God places His hand on my shoulder and looks me in the eye.
Prayer is not about receiving more of what you want.
It never has been that way and it never will be.
You mean, it's not about the answers, the healings, or the money?
Because every answer I grant your prayers, whether a "yes" or a "no," is not done to make your life easier. It's done to give you a newer, brighter, and cleaner revelation of who I am. I do not act on your behalf for any other reason than to help you receive the one thing that will never wear out or fade in value.
Me. Prayer is about receiving ALL of me.
Oh, God, I don't know that I can do this on my own. Teach me how to pray.
Just start with the words "Our Father" and filter everything else, both your petition and my answer, through these two simple words. Everything else will flow from there.

Netflix's The Crown is about as satisfying as a sliver of chocolate mousse cake. Which is to say, it hits the spot, but it doesn't exactly deliver on the details. The first season wins with luxe production value, stellar performances, and the beauty of clipped English accents. It's great — it just isn't salacious.
However, according to series creator Peter Morgan, that's all going to change with season 2. As Metro U.K. reports, Morgan divulged at a panel for the Royal Television Society that the second season might explore Prince Phillip's alleged affair.
"Doesn't everyone in Britain know [Prince Philip] had an affair?" Morgan asked. Throughout Phillip's tenure, the press has speculated about infidelity — none of the rumors have ever been confirmed, and it's likely they never will be, given the family's preference for extreme privacy.
Regardless, the rumors abide. Allegedly, the royal enjoyed an extramarital affair with the showgirl Pat Kirkwood in the 1950s. Both Kirkwood and the prince actively denied the claims.
"I've constantly denied rumors of an affair for years and the prince couldn't do anything about it. The story seemed to follow me around and it has done a lot of damage," Kirkwood wrots in her memoir, The Time of My Life. The duke himself called the rumors, "part of the mythology of the press."
Whether or not the rumors are true, an affair in Kensington Palace would certainly make for good television. The show, as lush as it is, is fiction. The royal family themselves gave this statement to Bustle: "The Crown is a fictional drama. The Royal Household has had no involvement." The show doesn't have to hold itself to factual standards the way a docu-series might. So, why not give us a juicy affair for season 2?
Morgan's not just interested in the scandalous nature of an affair — he's just interested in Philip in general. In an interview with Elle, Morgan expressed a love for the character of the duke. On the show, Philip (played by Matt Smith) is cantankerous — a loving husband, but an abrasive man.
"I find [Prince Philip] extraordinarily interesting—his childhood, again, you couldn't make it up," Morgan said. "The soul of season 2 is about his complexity." In the same interview, when pressed about the alleged affairs, Morgan retorted, "This is a spoiler-free chat! We're still in the cutting room and making all sorts of changes."

Sanctuary Runners appoint new Regional Development Officer and new Liaison Officer in Dublin Region
on March 3, 2022 in News & Media
The Sanctuary Runners are delighted to announce the appointment of our new Regional Development Officer for the Dublin-Meath-Louth Region with the support of Athletics Ireland.
Naima Chaudhry was a founding member of the Dublin Sanctuary Runner group in 2018. Leading the residents committee at the Clondalkin Towers Direct Provision centre at the time Naima was vital in getting the initiative off the ground in the capital.
Now Naima will help to grow our groups in Dublin – conscious of increasing numbers of asylum seekers and refugees living in emergency accommodation at hotels across the city.
Originally from Pakistan Naima has a Masters Degree from UCD in biotherapeutics and has worked tirelessly for people across the community since arriving in Ireland.
As part of her role Naima will also seek to establish a strong Sanctuary Runners' group in Mosney in Meath and also in Louth.
Graham Clifford, CEO of the Sanctuary Runners said: "We're absolutely thrilled that such an energetic, decent and inspiring person as Naima has become our new Regional Development Officer in the Dublin region. Thanks to our friends at Athletics Ireland these positions are possible in regions across the country and now we can't wait to get to work with Naima. The Sanctuary Runners focus on solidarity, friendship and respect and now, more than ever, its so vital these sentiments are shared with migrants regardless from where they hail."
Naima is the second official Athletics Ireland funded Regional Development Officer in Ireland with the Sanctuary Runners. Already in the Cork/Kerry region they are facilitating the position with Niamh Ní Chonchuir leading there.
And thanks to funding from Rethink Ireland Sikhulekile Ruth Ndlovu took up the position of Regional Development Officer with the Sanctuary Runners in the Midwest region.
In addition, the Sanctuary Runners announce today that the wonderful Adabblah Noel Selorm is our new Sanctuary Runners Liaison officer in the greater Dublin area.
Graham Clifford said: "Noel is, in many ways, the beating heart of the Sanctuary Runners. Since he joined us back in 2019 he has given so much to our organisation and he understands what it is to be isolated and disconnected initially as someone seeking international protection in Ireland. First and foremost he is a gentleman and a great friend to so many. Now in his role as liaison officer he will visit Direct Provision centres and speak to residents about why being part of the Sanctuary Runner family is beneficial for their mental and physical health. We are so grateful to him."
The Sanctuary Runners is a not-for-profit social enterprise which works to use running, jogging and walking to bring together asylum seekers, refugees, migrants and those in Irish society.

My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to all those suffering through Hurricane Sandy and tragedy elsewhere. Life is precious. We need to honour it more, live it more, give it more, love more, every minute we can.
Just after the voting polls closed on Nov 7, 2000, Mercury entered a station phase that would end its retrograde cycle. The hanging chad malfunction in Florida resulted in Al Gore losing the white house bid to GW Bush. Wikipedia states that had there been a state-wide rather than partial recount, Gore would have won. Doesn't it make you wonder how different history – and today's reality – would have been?
Beginning rather than ending retrograde this time around, Mercury in Sagittarius will already be in its station phase when the voting polls open on Nov 6, 2012. Retrograde will actually start at 3:04 pm PST. Romney has gathered a much better momentum since Jupiter turned retrograde at last month's start. Despite the neck and neck race, as I write, the news reports that early voters and Ohio are favouring Obama. Will these early votes be trend setting? It was encouraging to see Obama himself cast an early vote. He did this on the sun/Saturn conjunction of Oct 25. It was a good transit to pick. Has it cemented his fate?
With Mercury stationing retrograde on Nov 6, you can bet that something will go amiss. Similar to the 2000 election, perhaps it will be another electronic technology malfunction, but of course when the trickster is on his game, any number of things can set us back. (I had written this month's intro before Frankenstorm and Hurricane Sandy bashed the US and Canadian east coast. Remember that pre the retrograde cycle Mercury moves into its shadow or set-up phase. The extreme weather has impacted the US candidate's campaigns and shut down not only New York and Wall Street, but also early voting polls. Considering all that's already happened, what more could we expect? There's likely to be an aftermath fall-out of some kind. Could Mercury's retrograde turn on Nov 6 prove to be somewhat redundant or inconsequential? There's always guesswork, uncertainty and repeats with this cycle. Although it's a completely different set of circumstances, Obama's last election experience was also sandwiched by more urgent circumstances.
As it begins retrograde on Nov 6, Mercury pulls away from a building trine aspect to Uranus and a building square aspect with Chiron. This can create an "almost, but not quite" experience – as if destiny is pulling the strings for a reason. No matter what the feel, it may be viewed later an opportunity in disguise moment. Mercury's full circle will complete by the Winter Solstice. This is when Mercury will regain the ground it turn away from on Nov 13. In the process, it will surpass squares to Neptune and Chiron, and finally perfect a trine aspect to Uranus.
By the way, Mitt, a Pisces, was born with Mercury in retrograde and in Pisces too. Different than the transit, when one is born with Mercury retrograde, it suggests the soul has specific information/learning it wants to gather/repeat. Consider it like a scavenger hunt. The soul programs a specific karmic checklist and will spend the lifetime finding the key items (experiences, relationships) that will support and accelerate evolution. Obviously, this election constitutes a major fulcrum regarding Mitt's bigger picture destiny. Also of peak karmic implication, but structured in vastly different fashion, Obama now experiences his Chiron return, a key life cycle that spans 50 years. Consider this like a re-briefing of the original soul intention coming into this life – like a special destiny reboot.
The Scorpio solar eclipse on Nov 13 is also super moon too, which means it is of stronger than usual influence. We have been working under this eclipse more actively since the end of September and its influence will continue to stay at peak until the beginning of December. As stated in previous columns, solar eclipses are event generating and serve as acceleration catalysts. They spark significant passages and milestones, notable births and deaths, extreme geophysical occurrences, and other major outer world events.
This super new moon eclipse in Scorpio is sure to unleash the undercurrents that have already been on brew but that have escaped full awareness.We can witness power-shifts, power-bids, and power-grids on the rise or on the fall. From the sacred, to the corrupt, and scandalous, the Scorpio archetype is one of empowerment, rebirth, and resurrection, or of undermining and destructiveness. We can be exposed to any of the array of Scorpio's subject matters. Headline news continues its brisk reporting on today's ticking bombs.
The solar eclipse forms an opposition to the trans-Neptunian body, Sedna, the Inuit Goddess of the Arctic Ocean. It was so named because it was the coldest and most distant object in the solar system discovered. We might expect this eclipse/Sedna alignment to mine, fish, thaw-out, and/or resurrect something that's been frozen, buried, or sitting on ice; to source from something that's been held captive or that's reigned supreme in some remote region of our emotions, psyche, soul, or actual reality. Remember that eclipses continue to have influence over an extended duration of time, months or years. While scientists are alarmed at the rate of the ice melt in the north and the release of methane gases that will accelerate the hot-house effect of global warming, governments and opportunists are relishing the prospect of the harvest.
Adding to the Nov 13 solar eclipse intensity, Mercury retrograde backtracks into Scorpio. Before it does so, it will form a dynamic tension (square) aspect with Neptune. A powerful unleashing can take us by surprise. Confusion, uncertainty, and chaos can run rampant. Watch money markets, the weather, for other major storms, acts of aggression, and power agendas to surge.
Mercury/Neptune can idealize, romanticize, or distort the facts; it can keep the propaganda machine going strong. With these two in dynamic tension during the super moon eclipse, powerful hidden forces stir from within. We have a greater tendency to see what we want to see, rather than what is. This planetary aspect can be also be one of infiltration, emotional outpouring, added vulnerability, epidemics, lack of immunity, secrecy or secrets revealed, hidden threats, a surprise attack, disillusionment, or loss. Mercury first squared Neptune on Oct 28 when Frankenstorm was pummeling the eastern coast of Canada and the USA. Following Nov 13, the Mercury/Neptune final alignment happens on Dec 11.
Mercury in Scorpio will continue in retrograde to November 26. It is an ideal transit for digging deeper, for soul searching, and for getting back in touch with your own bottom lines. What is it that touches you at your core? What/who motivates you now? Is it/are they a healthy obsession? Does passion drive you, or is it extinguished? If the latter, what can you do to stoke it again? Do you have a basic strategy or survival kit worked out for yourself? If not, it's time start thinking about one.
As is typical of the retrograde cycle, things can breakdown, expenses can add up, time can be lost, work and relationship problems arise, health needs tending. Mercury retrograde in Scorpio compels us to revisit matters to do with finances, intimacy needs, trust, destructiveness, security, addictions, and compulsions. Any time Scorpio is energized, we find ourselves confronted with critical choices.
Venus trine Neptune and moon trine sun on Nov 22, can make for an especially poignant give thanks holiday for folks in the US. An Aries moon forming dynamic aspects to Uranus/Pluto on Black Friday can make for a brisk and competitive shopping day. Tempers are short and quickly sparked. Choose your battles wisely.
Both the Nov 13 super moon solar eclipse and the Nov 28 lunar eclipse hold jurisdiction over the US presidential election. No matter who wins, the end of Mercury retrograde and Venus/Saturn new phase on Nov 26, and Mars in new phase to Pluto on Nov 27, suggests a new program/new reality is underway for all. Mars starts the month in Sagittarius, (the campaign, the crusade, the vision, the search for truth), and advances into Capricorn, the sign of its exaltation, on Nov 16. Mars in Sagittarius increases the scope/makes everything bigger; Mars in Capricorn builds it better. Mars in Capricorn is an influence of executive command, good self control, dedicated effort, and for forging ahead to something of significance. It is also a signature for the military, for authority's dictates and for a sharpening of the system or its rules. For the entire month Mars travels out of bounds in south declination, which gives Mars more punch to karmic replay, to reward and/or consequences, and to push come to shove/get the job done. For the collective and for our personal lives too, Mars and Pluto begin construction on a new two-year, push-it- forward agenda. Nov 23 to 28 sets a new reality into play. Consider the combination of Mercury retrograde's end, Venus/Saturn, Mars/Pluto, and the lunar eclipse as paving the way to planetary ground zero. Hopefully from this vantage point we'll gain a more solid understanding how to build it better….much better.
**Please note, all times listed are Pacific time – please check your local listings.
Your month is likely to start on a busy social note, thanks to Venus in Libra. A special event or something out of the blue keeps the good buzz going strong. Mercury and Mars in Sagittarius put hope, luck, zeal, and possibility on an upswing. Every thing's in flight in this first week or so – you may be too.
Mercury in Sagittarius begins retrograde on November 6, so allow extra flexibility and time margins, and don't bank on promises prematurely. It's easy to get carried away, to hold to overly high expectations, go off on the wrong tangent, to get on to a righteous wagon, or to make more out of something than is warranted. Make sure to look more closely at all sides of an issue or challenge, etc. Don't inflate, exaggerate, overshoot, or overspend, it could come back to bite you later. Here's a short list of possible matters to occupy you during the retrograde: publishing, advertising, marketing, teachers, teaching or coaching, performance, travel, legalities, the future, distance learning, foreign matters, long distance relationships or communications, buying or selling.
The Scorpio solar eclipse super moon on Nov 13 will be felt more strongly if it makes direct contact to your chart, but of course we'll all feel the intensity, especially in matters to do with finances, taxes, inheritances, banking, loans, etc. This eclipse can target intimate or close knit relationships matters too. Abandonment and trust issues can arise. A relationship that is not meant to survive will most likely bite the dust. The carpet could suddenly get pulled re an income source too. Mercury in square to Neptune on the eclipse suggests there can be blind-spots, illusions, deception, and loss can to contend with. On the other hand, creativity, romance, or spirituality runs a stronger than usual current too.
The no-turning-back lunar eclipse full moon on November 28 can settle a score and/or bring an official end to something that's been in the works for a long time. Something you hear, read, say, do, or buy could be pivotal. There can be news, negotiations, bare-all talks, or papers to sign. Occurring in Gemini, you could find yourself juggling a number of things or people at the same time. Also watch for matters to do with transportation, the neighbourhood or community, event planning, education, paperwork, writing projects, media involvement, friends, siblings, or agents. A new professional undertaking or personal-life status locks-in the coordinates for your redefined future.
Start of the month can open things up, perhaps unexpected so. Venus can put more work or challenge on your plate. Positively Venus can bring a better work opportunity or pay cheque, improved teamwork, or give and take. Don't feel you are making enough progress with work, health or a personal struggle? This month's stars will set up the necessary conditions that will move you along.
Once Mercury turns retrograde, the financial pressure, debt load can grow. Also, you can be faced with the stark reality of how entrenched you are and how much you need the cooperation or support of others. This is in direct conflict with your growing restless and need for more freedom or self autonomy. At the same time, others can become less available, more distant, or simply too busy to provide what you need or expect. Too, Mercury retrograde can force you to increase your output, but for the same returns or less. The main issue can be a matter of not getting what you want when you want it and how you want it.
Mercury retrograde also puts your radar on high alert. Pay close attention to your feelings and fleeting impressions.
As of the Nov 13 eclipse, Mercury will back into Scorpio, to finish out the retrograde in this sign. Mercury in Scorpio suggests its do or die/push the envelope time. The eclipse can be especially catalytic for relationships, legal matters, contract agreements, or your public profile if you are born May 12 or 13, give or take a day or two.
If you have been blind-sided or taken a direct hit from the eclipse and Mercury retrograde, look to Mars in Capricorn, starting Nov 17, to help you get back in the saddle again. This Mars placement gives you more cause to carry on, and to fight for what you know you deserve and should have. Along with Venus in Scorpio, starting Nov 21, you should find yourself getting sharper, shrewder, and more confident in your resources. Your choices and options become even clearer cut.
Mercury ends retrograde on November 26, Mars and Pluto begin a new cycle on Nov 27, and the lunar eclipse in Gemini occurs on Nov 28. If it wasn't finished or resolved earlier in the month, this lunar eclipse can drive it home. It is a time to finalize plans, financial transactions, contracts and educational matters, to present proposals, put in bids, to negotiate new contract or banking terms, define partnership expectations or responsibilities, to seek professional advice, treatment, or a second opinion, to say goodbye or hello.
You can find yourself making good personal headway and interesting social inroads in this first week of November. To Nov 16 Mars in Sagittarius keeps you out there and going strong. You'll run around and get around even more than you usually do.
True to a typical Mercury retrograde cycle, you can to expect to hit a relationship backtrack, and/or to revisit an issue you have already crossed off your list. You'll bump into people you know more frequently. Visitors of special note can come and go too. The retrograde cycle can give you a chance to pick it up where you left off from last time. You could get a second wind for something you started previously but didn't follow through on back then. Typically when this happens, you'll play with it for awhile, but usually there's a reason that it still doesn't take hold. Of course, there can be exceptions to the rule. Even so, try to not to get too excited or to over-invest until you've given it the test of time.
Mercury backtracks into Scorpio on the solar eclipse of Nov 13. Work, work relationships, and office politics can grow more complex, perhaps you'll use the word toxic. Unwittingly, you can find yourself in a compromised position. Secrets and stories can get more convoluted. Who do you/should you trust? Among your peers or the powers that be, the web of lies or deceit can grow and unravel. You can get to the point where you aren't sure of much of anything.
In addition to work and training programs, this eclipse could also produce something major to do with health or financial matters. The problem may not be yours, but it can affect you indirectly. (I.e. if the company is having problems, it could result in reduced hours, a lay off, or a delayed pay cheque. Labour strikes are a common occurrence during Mercury retrograde.) Again, remember that the eclipse is only of dynamic influence if it makes direct contact on your chart.
Mars in Capricorn, starting Nov 16, calls for you to tighten up on finances and to get a better handle on personal organization and other pressing priorities. Venus in Scorpio increases the pressure on your day to day requirements. The stars are on a building intensity from Nov 23 through to the lunar eclipse on Nov 28. If it is ready to snap/blow, it probably will. This lunar eclipse is especially influential for those born around May 27, but of course it will be of influence for us all. A key word spoken, an impulsive move, flash of inspiration, conversation, or negotiation could be the start of something major. Positively it can provide a significant window of opportunity. Seize your moment!
The start of Mercury retrograde is a testing time. It can seem overwhelming, especially if you have bitten off more than you can chew, or you've been thrust into a brand new workload, learning curve, debt pile, or health challenge. As Mercury retrograde backs out of Sagittarius and into Scorpio on Nov 6, you could start to question whether you have the courage or talent to carry on, whether you really want what you've been aiming for or vocalizing all this time.
The super moon solar eclipse on Nov 13 is in a powerful, perhaps even life-altering, position for your sign. You'll feel the strongest effects if you are born July 13-15 or close by those dates. The eclipse is a milestone catalyst for matters to do with your profession, business, art, creativity, love life, and children.
Affecting your money, love life, career, children or a cherished personal goal, the lunar eclipse on Nov 28 can unlock your new reality. Embrace your future; don't stay tethered to your past.
Mercury retrograde keeps you searching for ways to increase your comfort margins and to get a better handle on directing your future, rather than to let it be dictated to you. This may require that you consider options you thought were too far out of reach or too complicated to add to your existing program. Or it may require you come up with something completely new for yourself.
The solar eclipse can be a major catalyst for home, real estate, renovation projects, and family matters. It is suggestive of a major personal milestone, or one for a particular family member. It can set a new financial bottom line in place. For some, it can be time to consider bankruptcy. For others it can be a power-play time for resurrecting yourself financially. Matters to do with the past, your ancestry/ancestral home can also take centre stage. This eclipse can signal an ideal time to start your own business or to make a major investment. By the same token, perhaps the eclipse will prompt you to shut down and start over again. This eclipse, and Mercury retrograde, can make you take a much deeper look inside. Addictions, self sabotaging, undermining relationships, or a polluted home environment can no longer be tolerated.
Whether you've planned, or it takes you by surprise, look to the full moon eclipse on Nov 28 to get you to a fresh start line. Of course, before you reach it, there's a finish line to cross. Regarding work, health, or your desired turnaround, Mars/Pluto suggests you need to get fully committed and to tackle it hard if you want to see the results you know are waiting to be had. No matter what monumental task you may face, there's not a minute left to waste.
Mercury retrograde can keep you wondering what it would be like to be somebody else. You can find your head is in one place, while your heart and body are elsewhere. While running away could also be in your thinking, if that's not a real prospect, perhaps there's an opportunity for travel or getting out and around more. Visitors can come and go; a roommate or family member can too.
Mercury retrograde can make you more distracted or absent minded, so plan to keep a more alert watch on your keys, glasses, papers, payment deadlines, etc. Also, try not to overspend. You could have a tendency to rationalize an extravagance as a necessity. Don't kid yourself.
As of the solar eclipse on Nov 13, Mercury retrograde will back in Scorpio. This switch can drastically change your line of thinking or reasoning. Know that you'll be more sensitized to environments and people. You'll pick up more than is spoken through their body language and nuances. By the same token, your vibes/physical presence will speak volumes too.
You can be directly or indirectly impacted by others. The eclipse can put an added spotlight on a friend or sibling. They can go through something intense, or your relationship can change with them in some major way. The eclipse can also bring up issues of trust, addictions or push your abandonment buttons. As is typical of Mercury retrograde, issues to do with transportation, equipment, and vehicle maintenance can pile on added expense.
Consider an overhaul to your marketing and advertising, your social life, your scholastic ambitions. Perhaps it is time to scout for another agent, advisor, bank, or healthcare professional. It can be the right time to sign up for therapy, counselling or a new training program.
The sun's entrance into Sagittarius on Nov 21 through lunar eclipse on Nov 28 packs a lot into a short period of time. The eclipse can show you a glimpse of what's waiting on the road ahead. This switch-track eclipse can be the catalyst for a major change regarding your career, self employment, education, family, citizenship, an official relationship status or holiday plans. Recognition or an award can be in the works for some. The eclipse can end or start a major relationship. A wedding, special anniversary, or new addition to the family is also within the range of possibilities too.
Venus, continuing in Libra to Nov 21, keeps you going strong. You can make a stronger impact and impression now, so by all means, vie for extra attention and use that Venus to your advantage. Be heard and seen. Your appearance counts. Your body language speaks volumes for you too.
Mercury, beginning retrograde in Sagittarius, gives you plenty extra to think about. It seems you have some big decisions to make. Perhaps there's a major expense to weigh, plans that need to be changed, or the dilemma of what to do next with a key relationship, (friend, sibling, teacher, agent, advisor.) Should you go back to school? Sign up for additional training? Take out another loan? Would another location be a better fit for you? Is it time to part ways? Give yourself extra time to figure it out. It's never a good idea to make a major commitment or purchase while Mercury is retrograde. Of course if you have to, know that divine order is at work. If possible, try to leave yourself a back-out or back-up plan. A temporary set-up or try-out phase is appropriate for the retrograde cycle.
The solar eclipse on Nov 13 can help you to better understand the scope of your present challenges and needs. This eclipse, and Mercury's dip back into Scorpio, puts it on the line. You may be forced to "bite the bullet" in some way, financially or emotionally. A health matter can require priority attention too.
The eclipse in opposition to Sedna can make you face a part of yourself or your life that you didn't want to accept as a reality. Once you reconcile with this, everything changes. This eclipse could put your life on a complete overhaul.
Your new chapter is a compelling one. You'll know its importance by the way you feel on the inside. On the positive, the eclipse can launch you into an especially fertile and lucrative cycle. It can start you on a new income source. It also prompts added resourcefulness and tenacity, so remember where there's a will, there is a way – trust you'll find it. You are likely to discover natural talents and capacities you didn't know you had.
An existing relationship can go through profound change. A new relationship can hit you right to the core of your soul. With Scorpio so emphasized, the relationship can turn into a juicy obsession from the get-go.
The days before the lunar eclipse on Nov 28 bring you through an important ending, finalization, or solidification. This eclipse can bring news, an opportunity, an arrival or departure. Expect to surpass a final hurdle, block, or test. It all changes from this point forward. What's set into play will set the long term into motion.
As of Nov 6 when Mercury turns retrograde, you are likely to become aware of the fact that you aren't as far along or as on target as you thought you were. A change of mind, a side-track, distraction, or temporary derailment is typical of the retrograde cycle. Something financial or emotional can hit you hard.
If your birthday falls on or near Nov 13, the super moon solar eclipse will be especially impactful. It can be a watermark year ahead, one that can completely revolutionize the course of your life, perhaps unexpectedly or suddenly so. Of course all of us will feel the intensity of this month's eclipses. How it plays out for you could occur in any number of ways. Remember that this eclipse has already been in effect for the past month or so. Review and you'll gain a good clue.
Mercury retrograde in Scorpio and the solar eclipse can put health on the front burner. It's a good time to pump up on the vitamins and other good for you routines. If the inkling hits that you should see a professional and/or get a second opinion, by all means do so. The solar eclipse is a super new moon, which suggests it is time of exceptional potent, exceptionally ripe and ready beginnings. If you want to shape up or have demons to face, now's the time to make the commitment. You'll have better stick-to-it from here on in. The solar eclipse can bring something totally unexpected too.

A friendship, association, mentor relationship, professional matter, legal matter, lifestyle, or important contract can terminate or begin. The lunar eclipse can launch or change an official status, or a more authoritative or responsible position (re personal or professional life). It could bring you important recognition.
Mars in Sagittarius continues to fuel you through Nov 16. Although you should find you have enough energy to carry you the distance, it is still wise to keep tabs on yourself and to stay balanced re health regimes and reasonable limits. Once Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius (Nov 6), it can knock some of the wind out of your sails.
The solar eclipse on Nov 13 can expose a critical blind-spot. You may have sensed and felt something major was on brew but have downplayed or altogether ignored it. Once the eclipse hits, and the secrets are out, you can't sweep it under the rug. On the other hand, the eclipse can reveal a hidden opportunity or advantage. Pounce on it. It could be the start of something quite lucrative or potent. The eclipse can signal a major break through and is staging in so many critical and life altering ways. You can come to important realizations and discoveries. It is an inception point for so much more to come. In fact, it can be a pregnancy indicator for some. For others, this eclipse can lead you onto a path of service or introduce you to your ultimate other.
If life explodes on you unexpectedly, give yourself extra time to let the dust settle before you stir the pot again. Remember, this eclipse will only be of major influence if it directly impacts your chart. For some, the eclipse can come and go with little notice beyond the usual Mercury retrograde annoyances.
Nov 21 to Nov 28 is the second highpoint of the month. Venus goes underground in Scorpio shortly after the sun enters Sagittarius. The end of Mercury retrograde on Nov 26 is accompanied by Venus/Saturn finishing off and starting anew. Mars does the same with Pluto on Nov 27 and the lunar eclipse occurs on Nov 28. By the time you get through all these definitive planetary aspects, it should remove all lingering doubt or questions. Regarding an investment of money, heart, or time, Mars/Pluto suggests you should buckle yourself in for the long haul. Whatever launches now will be of major importance for some time to come.
Mercury begins retrograde out of Capricorn's sight, but it can wreak havoc all the same. Make sure not to overlook the subtle hints you get from others – or from your own intuition. Either could be showing you the tip of the iceberg.
The solar eclipse of Nov 13 can blow it wide open for you. A sudden insight, second look/chance, or unexpected exchange can be the "it" moment. The impact can be jarring or liberating. It can utterly transform your lifestyle, your financial picture, your love life or career prospects. Whatever happens, you can't sit on the fence with this one – it's all or nothing, power-play time. It's up to you to turn the moment into gold. Hopefully you'll see/understand the opportunity for what it is worth.
Mercury retrograde dips back into Scorpio from Nov 13 and finishes retrograde on Nov 26. This back track is sure to bring unexpected reconnections. Something you thought you had laid to rest can come back for one more round. Keep exploring but don't finalize or commit until the lunar eclipse on Nov 28 gives you the final go-ahead signal.

This is an empowering time for you. Don't hold yourself back. Your future awaits you, take the ride.
Whether it's planned or serendipitous, Mercury retrograde is sure to put you back in touch with folks. While that can be entertaining, both Mars and Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius find you keen to reinvent your social life and/or to make a significant lifestyle move. You may feel that you have outgrown your old friends or current social network. Too, you can find that a community involvement, career goal, or personal interest that you used to feel quite pumped about, may no longer hold the same appeal. A battery recharge can do you a world of good. Keep looking around, more and better is out there for you.
With or without Mercury retrograde, life continues to deliver one thing after another.
The solar eclipse super moon on Nov 13 can put surmountable pressure on you and/or hold you to accountability. It can prove to be the career, financial, or personal prompt you have been waiting for. Yes, its time to completely reinvent the wheel. The solar eclipse puts the spotlight on dealings with an authority, financial ambitions, debt management, and legal matters. Life may be one of choice, or you could find yourself backed into a corner. Either way, it now becomes necessary to take charge and/or assume command in some feature way. Directly or indirectly, someone of significant influence can be particularly influential in directing the course of your life. For example someone may step down from a management position, in which case you will either have a new person to answer to, or you may be asked to step into the role yourself. Too, major restructuring within the company, bank, or legal system can have a significant impact on you. This eclipse suggests that you can't sweep it under the carpet, or get away with things, so make sure you do what's legally and morally correct. When Mercury is retrograde, things can come back to bite you – and of course we know that never feels good. The eclipse will make a direct hit on your chart if you were born on or around Feb 11. For you, this eclipse can suggest a commitment dilemma. Perhaps you no longer want what you originally did. It can be a time of seeing the writing on the wall.

Too, it can reconnect you to a birth parent, a missing or absentee person, a lost love from another time and place, a profound spiritual healer or mentor, etc.
Mercury ends retrograde on Nov 26, just two days before the lunar eclipse in Gemini on Nov 28. You are likely to feel the energy of this eclipse build as early as Nov 23. Nov 26, Venus and Saturn bring you to a finishing stage or finish line while at the same time they are down to the serious business of cementing your new reality. This planetary pairing can end or begin a professional, financial, or karmic contract.

The lunar eclipse enhances career, education and creative potentials, travel, publishing, public or media profile, art endeavours, luck, fame, and love prospects.
What direction do you want your life to take now? Do you still want what you have? Mercury retrograde can keep you steeped in a critical reassessment of ambitions, priorities, and obligations. A major career or personal life redirection seems to be in the works. Perhaps your choices are already decided by circumstance and/or the influence of someone in particular (a family member, an official, boss or other authority figure.) For now the best you can do is to give yourself ample latitude and to meet each day one at a time.
The solar eclipse on Nov 13 delivers an especially opportune fresh start momentum if your birthday falls on or near March 12. (That's Mitt Romney's birthday.) All things considered, the eclipse in trine to Pallas Athene suggests that circumstances are rolling along as they should and that you have a natural talent for extracting the best the moment has to offer. A new strategy/new lifestyle can fit like a glove and that most things come together for you readily and well.
As is typical, Mercury retrograde can find you revisiting places, and faces. Too, you could resume an ambition, plan or relationship you didn't expect would come your way again. A complete change of heart, mind, plans, or interest level can occur too. By all means, explore your options, but keep open-ended and as flexible as possible until the retrograde is over.
If things feel too overwhelming, look to Mars in Capricorn, beginning Nov 16, and Venus in Scorpio, starting on Nov 21, to help you get a better handle on it all.
On the same day that Mercury retrograde ends, Venus completes the relationship, manifestation, and financial timetable that was begun in Aug of 2010. (Mars did the same last August.) What lives on, what terminates, what transforms? Venus and Saturn now move into the next phase, and on Nov 27, Mars and Pluto do the same. On Nov 28, the lunar eclipse brings the dividing line between yesterday and tomorrow to a critical peak. A new address can be in the works for some. For all, the Nov eclipses are programmed to fast forward you into your awaiting future.


Short Central is a good new method of watching and sharing short films as well as promoting its creators, allowing users to view award-winning films from around the globe and filmmakers to submit and promote their films for free. They're constantly increasing in their vast variety of captivating and cinematic short films, which range from talented student films to extraordinary sci-fi films, terrifying horror films as well as short form documentaries.
Short movies have become popular nowadays. Inside the side of filmmakers, these types of film are great because it is easier to make them and also the production price is also cheaper. Having said that, let me then share some video footage making strategies for you.
Before starting the fast film making tips, let us first define it. When we say video clip, we're talking about the flicks which are relatively shorter compared to normal two-hour movie. It can be 30 minutes or perhaps 1 minute. Though it may be short, it should still have a complete story. Which means it has to have an intro, body, and conclusion.
As you will probably be making a funny short films, just create a simple story. Don't create a novel because the time might not contain it. Just give attention to an individual idea and allow the story center around it.
Don't show everything from the beginning immediately. It is great to place some suspense to let your audience anticipate on what will happen in the long run. This can capture your viewers' attention before the story reaches the climax.
I watched some short movies that aren't work due to having numerous characters. It makes the tale not focused.
Don't be afraid to use few characters. if you can even create a story which has only one character then that'll be great. There is a short film I watched where in they simply used two characters nevertheless it was good. Having few characters not merely help make your life as a film maker easier. It will also easily drive the audience to pay attention to few aspects of the film.
As mentioned above, a quick film must still need a complete story. I'm not really a real fan of these scariest short films that just end abruptly without any conclusion.
I realize there's amazing ending a tale the open-ended one. By doing this however, you have to still take the audience somewhere. Do not just cut the storyline which is it. What is the point of ending the story in the event you only showed an overview?
It's actually difficult to create a good story which you can use for the short movie. To get some thoughts, I suggest watching lots of short films. You'll certainly have the ability to develop your own idea you may notice what others are making.

Inspiration, Influential Photographers
On Photography: Mario Testino, 1954-present
"I started being a photographer because I liked fashion. I liked the idea of dressing up and changing my look. I got earrings, dyed my hair. I would dress like a fashion photo." -Mario Testino
Mario Testino is one of the most celebrated fashion photographers in the world. He has photographed models who became supermodels. He photographed Princess Diana in 1997, a sitting commissioned by Vanity Fair. That work opened doors for him to make portraits of other royals — the Prince of Wales, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, the King and Queen of Jordan and the Queen of the Netherlands.
"I am trying to capture the women I photograph at their happiest. That is when they look their most beautiful. But I do understand that you have to make somebody feel completely comfortable in order to bring that out."
The magazines
Testino has been described as "the world's most prolific magazine and fashion trade photographer" by The Observer's Aaron Hicklin. He has contributed to Vogue, Vanity Fair, V Magazine, Allure, VMan, LOVE and GQ. Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue (American edition) puts it this way:
"Fashion photography is this uneasy mix of art and commerce and I think nobody understands this better than Mario."
Portrait by Scott Schuman
The portraitist
Terence Pepper, the curator of photography at London's National Portrait Gallery nicknamed Testino "The John Singer Sargent of our times." This was on the occasion of Testino exhibition there in 2002 that broke attendance records for all of their previous shows. That record stood for ten years.
Testino has created work for an array of internationally known companies, among them Burberry, Calvin Klein Roberto Cavelli, Michael Kors, Mercedes Benz, Revlon, Stuart Weitzman, St. John, Shiseido and Macallan.
MATE – Museo Mario Testino
In 2012, he opened MATE – Museo Mario Testino in Lima to contribute to Peru through the cultivation and promotion of culture and heritage.
Art and philanthropy
Testino has always collected art. Works from his personal collection have been on exhibition. Testino remarks,
"Just as photography is a vehicle for me to live a new moment, to go to a new place, meet a new person and so on, art is a process of encounter and discovery. The display of art for me is not just about seeing the work isolated in a white cube. It's also about engaging with the art – and sometimes the artist – to make something new."
At the same time, he has collaborated to create it with notables as Keith Haring, Vik Muniz and Julian Schnabel.
He's helped the Elton John AIDS Foundation, amfAR and CLIC Sargent for children with cancer.
Testino along with photographers Bruce Weber, Patrick Demarchelier and Guess founder Paul Marciano were accused of sexual harassment in January of 2018. More of them appeared in the New York Times on March 3, 2018.

Are prototypes necessary before you get a patent?
That's all you need to apply for a patent.
And in fact, building a prototype in some cases could be a huge waste of time and money.
For example, a few years back an inventor came into our office with a huge lawnmower blade. What was special about this particular lawnmower blade was that it had smaller blades (about 1 inch tall) welded on both sides of the main blade. This was to help cut up the grass into smaller pieces.
He had obviously spent a lot of time making this thing. All of the welds were sanded down. He had polished it to a mirror shine. The thing was beautiful.
It wasn't his first one. He told us the story behind it. His first prototype was a hastily welded together piece. When he installed it, it proceed to explode like a grenade after he fired up the mower (the welds were weak). Then he built another. And another. Until finally getting one to work.
This took a year and cost about $3,000.
Long story short, he hired us to do a patent search and we found out that someone had already patented the idea of a lawnmower blade with smaller blades on it.
Moral of the story? He wasted about a year of his life and a lot of money perfecting an idea that he could not protect.
Before you build a prototype, make sure it's for something that you can get exclusive rights to. You don't want to spend your time and resources on someone else's idea.

Research confirms that annual bluegrass sustains significantly more annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) damage compared to bentgrasses. Four weeks after the highest density of adult introduction (12 female and 12 male), cumulative damage on the left compared to the control on the right for annual bluegrass was greater than 'Declaration' creeping bentgrass.
Annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) is a serious and expanding pest of short cut turfgrass on golf courses. Annual bluegrass (Poa annua) is the most suitable host plant for ABW and severely damaged by larval feeding. At Rutgers University, scientists provide clear evidence of bentgrass resistance or tolerance to ABW. When comparing annual bluegrass to bentgrass, bentgrasses were 1) less suitable and not preferred for egg laying; 2) less suitable for larval development; and 3) could tolerate higher larval densities with less visible damage. However, females laid eggs in the bentgrasses even if annual bluegrass was available, and ABW developed from eggs to pupae on all bentgrasses tested. Among all tested bentgrasses species, creeping bentgrasses were most resistant and tolerant to ABW.
On the golf course, damage to turfgrass occurs from the cumulative effects of adult and larval feeding on grass stems and leaves. In a 2013 greenhouse experiment, researchers tested three different adult densities in the pots with annual bluegrass and eight bentgrass cultivars (3 different species). After one week, researchers removed the adults from the pots and allowed larval development to continue in the greenhouse. After four weeks, the scientists recorded the grass responses (quality and damage ratings) to ABW feeding. Grass leaves and stems were clipped, oven dried and silicon and fiber content analyzed. Results of the 2013 experiment were consistent with the previous findings—annual bluegrass sustained significantly more damage compared to the bentgrasses (See Photo).
In the pots with annual bluegrass, damage ratings ranged from 70 to 93% at the lowest and the highest adult densities, respectively (Figure 1).
After four weeks of adult and larval feeding, the damage that occurred on annual bluegrass (70 to 93%) was much greater compared to three bentgrass species (eight cultivars).
In contrast, even for the most susceptible bentgrass (colonial 'Capri' and 'Tiger' and velvet 'Villa' and 'Greenwich') damage ratings were at most 24% and 40% at the lowest and the highest densities. Scientists observed little damage (on average less than 20%) in creeping bentgrasses ('Penncross', 'Declaration' and '007') even with the highest adult densities. Silicon and fiber content of leaf and stem tissue did not correlate with the larval stages recovered in the tested grasses, suggesting that they are not involved in bentgrass resistance. In fact, annual bluegrass and the most susceptible bentgrasses tended to have higher silicon and fiber concentrations in their tissues.


When you sign up to Gillette's new subscription razor service, the first thing you'll be asked to do is select one of three Gillette razors. This is perhaps the most important decision you'll make on your journey towards becoming a member of our shave club, so it's crucial you're aware of everything there is to know about the razors on offer.
But before getting into the differences between the three razors, it's worth briefly focusing on what they share. Every Gillette razor available on subscription is "multi-blade", meaning that each model can be counted on to produce a close, even, and comfortable shave. By harnessing the power of progressive geometry, Gillette razors spread the load more evenly, significantly reducing the likelihood of encountering razor burn and irritation.
Something else you'll find in common across all of the Gillette razors is that they benefit from 117 years of innovation to give guys the best possible shave, with each one improving on the previous to give a close, more comfortable shave.
Twenty years after it was first introduced to the world, the Mach3 remains a staple for millions of men, as well as one of the leading multi-blade razors on the market. A product that set the standard for multi-blade razors, the Mach3 incorporates a number of features that epitomise Gillette's approach to mastering the science of shaving.
Not least among these is the Mach3's row of three stronger-than-steel blades that have been designed to achieve the closest shave possible. As a three-bladed razor, the Mach3 uses the first blade to extend the hair from the skin, before letting the next two blades execute a deep cut. The result is an exceptionally close shave, but one that doesn't invite irritation.
Another key feature is the Mach3's stylish ergonomic handle – a detail that results in far more than just the razor's classic appearance. Expertly balanced and weighted, the handle produces unrivalled comfort and precision by allowing for supreme control and manoeuvrability.
With introductory kits starting from just £4.95, the Mach3 is the perfect upgrade option for men who typically use disposables.
If you're looking to achieve an even closer shave, then the Fusion5 could well be the razor for you. Although the Mach3 can certainly be counted on provide a close, clean shave, the additional two blades found on the Fusion5 result in an enhanced and unmatched level of closeness.
In addition to the presence of five blades, the primary piece of innovation that sets the Fusion5 apart from its predecessor is its Precision Trimmer. This single blade sits on the back of the Fusion5 cartridge, allowing for all the precision you need to achieve an even and full shave. Designed to facilitate accurate edging and styling, the trimmer is capable of covering the more difficult-to-reach areas, like just under the nose and close to the lip.
The razor's row of 5 carefully-distributed blades results in improved load distribution, leading to fewer nicks, cuts, and general redness. The reason for this is that the additional blades (five rather than three) reduces the amount the skin "bulges" by as much as 30%. The result is that you get a close, clean shave, while being less likely to cut yourself in the process.
The Fusion5 Proglide takes all the innovation of the original Fusion5 and combines it with Gillette's revolutionary Flexball technology. By adding a pivot between the razor handle and the blade cartridge, contact between the blade and your skin can be consistently maintained. This allows the razor to do all the hard work, ensuring that you're not required to apply any unnecessary pressure. The result is a clean and even shave; and one that doesn't leave any rogue hairs remaining.
In addition to the Flexball, the Fusion5 Proglide carries the advantages of enhanced lubrication, improved grip, and longer-lasting blades. The razor's longer, easy-grip handle allows for improved control, while the Lubrastrip contains lubricating polymers that allow the blade to glide with ease, providing for an overall more comfortable shave.

'Who's Watching You?' : Big Brother Watch, UK launches new report
London: In its latest report, United Kingdom based civil liberties campaign group Big Brother Watch has revealed in stark detail how Hikvision and Dahua dominate the UK's public sector CCTV networks. Based on thousands of Freedom of Information requests, the new report 'Who's Watching You? The dominance of Chinese state-owned CCTV in the UK' "blows the lid off China's growing surveillance presence in UK".
The report finds that the UK is one of the most surveilled countries in the world with an estimated 6 million CCTV cameras across the nation. London has become the most surveilled city outside of China, and even has more cameras per person than Beijing. Cameras can be seen in every public building, business and on every high street – and their investigation has found that a huge number are made by controversial Chinese surveillance companies Hikvision and Dahua.
According to the group, the international context is of great importance when considering why the use of Hikvision and Dahua in Britain is so concerning. Entities ultimately controlled by the Chinese Communist Party [CCP] have significant shareholdings in both companies, with Hikvision having the larger state shareholding. Both companies are known to supply surveillance equipment that has been used to target ethnic minorities in the north-western Chinese province of Xinjiang.Hikvision and Dahua have been accused of providing equipment to be used both for the general surveillance of the people of Xinjiang and to guard government-run concentration camps in the region.
Big Brother Watch also called on the UK Government to ban the sale and operation of Hikvision and Dahua surveillance equipment in the UK and condemn their involvement in technology-enabled human rights abuses in China.

There they sit, taking up mounds of room in your cupboard or on your walls. Stacked so high that when you put one away, you wonder will this be the day when the stack tips over? And maybe there is a small part of you that can't wait for that stack to tip over because then hopefully some will break and you have an excuse to get rid of some.
I am talking about coffee mugs. Mugs are something that are often used everyday, multiple times a day if you are a coffee or tea drinker, but not to mention, there are those mugs that sit unused for years in the back of the cupboard. Mugs that may have a special meaning, but a meaning no one knows about because like I said, they sit in the back of the cupboard, unused.
Search for all the mugs you have and take them all out. Some may even be hiding in a box somewhere or hidden in a back corner. Grab them all.
Are any broken, stained, or chipped?
Do you have enough room to store them all?
Do you have favorite mugs that you use everytime?
Do you collect mugs and if so, do you feel you own too many?
Set aside your favorite mugs. This may require setting a certain number, like choosing the top 3. Decide if it is worth keeping the ones that you have not used in over a year. Are they worth the space they take up? How much room do you want your mugs to take up in your cupboard? If you collect them, that is where it is going to be a tough decision whether to continue to collection or to just choose the top-however-many to make your collection even more meaningful.
Thrown away or recycle the mugs that are not in "usable" condition. Donate any mugs that you no longer need.
Now that you have fewer mugs (hopefully), it is not time to neatly organize them in your cupboard. Put the ones that you use the most towards the front and stack (if needed) the rest towards the back.
Keeping sentimental things, such as mugs, is not a bad thing, it's just when they take up more room than what you have space for – that's when it becomes a problem. Coffee mugs are typically one of those items that we all own far too many of, but choose to regularly keep them all for some reason or another. Now that you are living with less of them, hopefully you can enjoy that cup of joe even more, knowing you can pull that mug out without wondering if they all are going to come out with it.
Do you have a favorite mug you use? What is it about that mug that you love?
Theresa, you are doing exactly what you need to do to downsize – set a number and stick with it! Share this idea with your coworkers too and maybe the break room will get some much needed breathing room :). Thanks for commenting Theresa!


If you're looking for some new way to cook your sweet potatoes, here are some recipes that will quickly become staples in your weekly menu.
If sweet potatoes aren't already a part of your diet, it's time to change that. These starchy, root vegetables are rich in fiber, minerals such as iron and calcium, as well as vitamin B and C.
Looking for ways to add sweet potatoes into your weekly diet plan? Here are some healthy, creative, and easy-to-make sweet potato recipes that won't mess up your nutrition—or your macros.
This fruit-free smoothie packs a wallop of complex carbs while managing to keep the sugar to a minimum. Almond butter provides just enough protein while turmeric helps thwart inflammation. Prep the sweet potato the night before and your smoothie will be ready in minutes come morning.
Cut sweet potato into large chunks and steam or boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Let cool then transfer to the freezer overnight or until solid cold, at least 4 hours.
In a blender, combine frozen sweet potato with milk, Revere Pre-Workout Energy, almond butter cinnamon and turmeric. Blend until smooth.
This is a great one to make the night before and eat before you leave for your morning cardio class. The berries and granola provide quick-digesting carbs to fuel your workout, and the Greek yogurt provides ample protein to prevent muscle breakdown.
Pierce the potato all over with the tines of a fork, then place on a lined baking sheet and roast for 45-60 minutes, until soft.
Remove potato from oven, let cool slightly then scoop flesh into a blender or food processor. Add almond milk, flax, vanilla, cinnamon and salt; blend until smooth.
Transfer sweet potato mixture to a bowl (if making ahead, cover and refrigerate until ready then warm it up in the microwave before serving) and distribute toppings over it.
When you've only got less than an hour before your workout, pop a couple of these energy bites for just enough fuel to power you through. They'll keep in the freezer for weeks so you can be sure to always have some on hand.
Place sweet potatoes in a steamer basket, set in a pot with at least 1 inch of water. Bring water to a boil and steam until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Place oats and almonds in food processor and process until fine. Add sweet potato, dates, almond butter, flax seeds, Revere Pre-Workout Energy, tahini, coconut oil, cocoa and salt; pulse until mixture clumps together.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until firm.
Using 1 tablespoon of mixture per ball, gently roll between the palms of your hands, then dredge in pistachios or matcha to coat. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, arranging balls on a parchment-lined tray. Keep stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Avocado toast had its day in the sun; switch it up with this power-packed, delicious take on a breakfast favorite. Cottage cheese has healthy amounts of slow-digesting protein that fuels muscles for hours. When combined with sweet potato, the duo makes for a meal high in protein and carbs, while staying low in fat and fiber (which slow down digestion). If you want a little sweetness, drizzle on a bit of honey. It'll release slow, steady levels of glucose into your bloodstream—great for grueling endurance workouts that require plenty of readily available carbs.
Slice potato lengthwise into ¼-inch slices (you should get at least 4 slices plus end pieces). Coat both sides of the slices with olive oil spray. Season with salt, pepper and thyme and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until edges crisp up.
Meanwhile, steam asparagus until just tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Top each potato slice with 2 tablespoons cottage cheese, 2 asparagus spears, lemon zest and black pepper.
By combining lean protein with complex carbohydrates, this pre-workout mini-meal provides amino acids to promote muscle growth and a slow-releasing source of energy.
Coat sweet potato sticks with olive oil spray. Season with salt and pepper and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until tender.
Remove sweet potato sticks from oven and let cool slightly.
Stagger 2 slices of turkey meat so that they overlap in the middle. Place half the sweet potato, half the string cheese, half the arugula and half the bell pepper on the turkey and tightly roll it up like a wrap. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
