Antarctic Cruising: Ice Age
Those who visit Antarctica are often following their heart and mind. But many find their soul.
Thinking of a great holiday usually brings a smile to your face, often a sigh as you remember special moments. It's surely a sign of a truly remarkable destination then that remembering an adventure to Antarctica can reduce a group of people to tears. Tears of sheer joy thinking about the huge impact of the whole experience.
The thrill of venturing into the last real wilderness. Seeing wildlife in its natural state and loving the fact that they have not yet learnt to fear man. Absorbing the wonder of an almost untouched environment and knowing there are no barriers except those thrown up by nature and an automatic respect for the beauty that surrounds you. Having no crowds to deal with except the thousands of penguin chicks fledging their nests and heading for the icy waters.
Heady stuff, granted. Over the top? For some, maybe. But these are shared opinions of the 83 passengers aboard the MV Lyubov Orlova on our Adventure Associates expedition to Antarctica. Eleven days of pure magic and absolute peace. Words are just not enough to describe Antarctica's appeal and its stark contrasts.
It is cold and dangerous, and yet warm and welcoming. Silent and white as snow one minute, then noisy and black as volcanic ash. Tranquil for onlookers but bustling with activity for the thousands of penguins, for example, almost ready to leave the nest at the end of the Antarctic summer.
It has a beauty that is immediately obvious; a photographer's paradise for sure. And yet it has hidden delights; nature's own little secrets just waiting to be discovered by those dedicated enough to make the trek and patient enough to sit and watch.
Chinstrap Penguin Family (Roderick Eime)
Watching a fat, fluffy, trusting chick waddling casually past when you sit on a rock? Or sitting stunned as 40-ton humpback whales come so close they wet you with their blowholes, and then perch upright in the water to get a better look eye-to-eye. Leopard seals toying with us probably looking for breakfast, darting and sliding from one side of our Zodiac (an inflatable boat) to the other and then following us back to the ship. The groan of a glacier just before the gun-shot crack as it calves away and plunges in the sea.
Antarctica? People asked, why on Earth would you want to go there? Isn't it cold and just a lot of ice? Won't your photos just be all white? Of course it's freezing. In fact it gets so cold, when you pass south of 65 (that's degrees latitude and about 30 degrees farther south than Adelaide), the air is the same temperature as the water. Snow falling on the sea forms an icy layer instead of melting. But come prepared with the right clothes and the weather is not an issue. Thermals, jumpers, jackets, gloves, hats, waterproof pants, rubber boots and a healthy sense of adventure and you're set.
And yes, there's a lot of ice, but it comes in the most amazing array of shapes, sizes and colours. Beautiful sculptures by the world's most famous artist of all, nature herself. And a kaleidoscope of colours and textures. Pure white honeycomb with frosty edges, soft foam and marshmallow towers in muted pastels; glistening turquoise blue crystals, stalactites dripping into water so clear you can easily see the minke whale rolling just metres away and the penguins porpoising in and out of the waves.
Well, at least there's the polar bears to look at. Wrong. Despite popular belief, they are at the other end of the world. There are so many reasons for choosing Antarctica. Our Russian ice-strengthened ship carried 83 passengers from 20 different nations, from Ushuaia at the southern tip of Argentina to the great white continent. That's 83 different reasons for a group of adventurers aged from 15 to 74; people willing to cross the dreaded Drake Passage, one of the roughest stretches of water in the world, to reach Antarctica.
Joy, from Scotland, heard stories as she grew up of her uncle who worked at a research station. She always dreamt of seeing the real thing for herself. For American Sherry, it's the last continent to conquer. Michelle and Jeff from Canada are on their honeymoon. Young Tricia from the US tossed up between Africa and Antarctica, but her dad wasn't ready to let her go on a safari.
Allessandro, an Italian father-to-be, wants to find his spirit and a place to feel at peace with the world. Lawrence, a Brazilian filmmaker, is gathering footage for wildlife documentaries. A travel agent from Holland is checking out the expeditions that are selling like wildfire.
Some see it as a way of one-upmanship. Not many people, after all, can say they have been to Antarctica. For others it is purely the ice or the wildlife. A Japanese film crew captures every moment for a TV travel channel and who knows why the large group of Japanese tourists chose Antarctica, but they are having the time of their lives. For Dot Miller, a 67-year-old self-confessed adventure junkie (and my mum) from Adelaide, it's the fulfillment of a life-long dream. Reaching that one destination that will stand out for all time.
How does it compare with other holidays or pastimes like jumping out of planes? "There is no comparison,'' she says. "This tops the lot by far. It's much more than I ever expected. It's hard to describe the feeling that overcomes you. It's so peaceful. Even with the other passengers there's still plenty of chances and room to be alone just to take in the quiet. There's no rubbish, no signs, no graffiti. No need to check that you're going in the right direction. I just can't believe how lucky we are. It's like a dream. I have to keep pinching myself to make sure I'm really here. I feel like I've gone to heaven.''
And those feelings are echoed every day. Each person, regardless of their age, enjoys . . . no, LOVES it. Everyone seems to get something completely different out of their visit; their own special memory. It may be eye-balling a 40-ton whale, conquering a mountain, swimming in icy Antarctica, seeing snow for the first time, admiring the antics of penguins or recording new species of birds.
Some turn the trek into a tribute to those early explorers who first dared to cross Antarctica's unknown spaces - a pilgrimage for Shackleton, Mawson, Scott, Amunsden and the like, even though our expedition is made from the safety and comfort of a ship with warm beds and gourmet meals. And yet there is one common thread - a passion for our new-found paradise.
Most people come expecting to conquer this last real wilderness. We leave knowing that no one truly can. The best you can hope for is to experience it. Antarctica really does have to be seen, and felt, to be believed.

'Southside Strong:' T-shirts donated to Lake Street business owners and clean-up volunteers by St. Mane
Posted Wednesday, June 10, 2020 9:52 pm
By Margie O'Loughlin
Aric Hay (pictured left) and Bob St. Mane (pictured right in baseball cap) are partners in an entrepreneurial effort. They recently donated 500 "Southside Strong" T-shirts to business owners whose properties were damaged or destroyed by unrest along Lake Street. The T-shirts are now for sale online through St. Mane Sporting Goods. (Photo by Margie O'Loughlin)[/caption]
Bob St. Mane is the second generation owner of St. Mane Sporting Goods in South Minneapolis, a store that generally does a brisk business outfitting youth sports teams throughout the year. When COVID-19 wiped out organized youth sports at least until this fall, St. Mane knew he was in trouble. It was time to start thinking outside the box.
St. Mane came up with the idea of making and selling unity T-shirts during the pandemic. The T-shirts said simply, "Minnesota Strong, Pandemic 2020." He donated $5 from every sale to other struggling businesses; ones that, like him, hadn't been able to get federally funded assistance because the government ran out of money.
Not only did St. Mane generate income for his own small business during the shutdown, he was able to make a significant donation to four others.
And now, he is doing it all over again.
In partnership with his next door business neighbor, Aric Hay of Print and Stitch, St. Mane is making and selling T-shirts in support of businesses lost or damaged during the recent unrest on Lake Street.
On June 9, 2020, St. Mane and Hay brought eight boxes of T-shirts to the parking lot at Roosevelt High School. They met up with dozens of community volunteers at 10 a.m., who divided into six walking teams. Each team was instructed to take a stretch of Lake Street. They went off in search of owners of damaged or looted businesses, and were tasked with giving each one a T-shirt that said "Southside Strong."
There was to be no money collected on Lake Street that day – the 500 printed T-shirts were donated by Bob St. Mane and Aric Hay. It was just a day to show support for business owners and volunteers. Moving forward, community members can purchase T-shirts directly from St. Manes' website at www.stmanes.com. The cost is $20, and $5 of that will be donated to the Lake Street Council's general fund to help small businesses rebuild.
When St. Mane spoke to the crowd of volunteers at Roosevelt High School, he said, "First and foremost, we're here to support the devastated businesses on Lake Street. We don't want any of the stores to close permanently. We're a small business struggling with our own problems this year, and we want to stay in business too. We get it."
At 58 years old, St. Manes is the longest running sporting goods store in Minnesota. For more information about ordering T-shirts, call Bob St. Mane at 612-722-1447 or order online. The family-owned and operated business is located at 4159 28th Avenue South.

Who doesn't enjoy great leather jackets? I surely love them.
This one belonged to my dad when he was young, but since he's not wearing it anymore, he gave it to me. It says Eagle Force on the inside, which probably hints to the fact that my father bought it as plane pilot (his job now). I love how it looks all shiny and golden on the inner side. This is obviously a direct consequence of the 80's era, that some will like.
I'm also proud to show my new Freitag item. If you're looking for a bag that is practical, of quality and cool looking at the same time, then you've got it!
And you? What do you think of the 80's? We'd love to know!
The denim jacket for sure makes this look. It adds an extra touch of color that was needed here. Great work!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it. Combining denim with leather is often a good choice!
Love the leather jacket! Its so cool!
It's one of my favourite jackets. Thank you so much, Mischelle!
We love this look! Leather jacket are a must-have in the closet! And we love the fact that it passes from one generation to another one!
Btw, beautiful pictures! Keep the great work!
Thanks so much! We appreciate!

Five Scenes From Succession That Went Too Far
Camille Moore 12 months ago
Now in its third season, Succession has become one of the most popular shows on HBO. The series centers around the Roy family and their successful media company. After the family patriarch falls ill, his children begin battling over who will be next in line to run the company. However, their father has no plans to hand anything over to anyone. As a result, the entire family finds itself at odds and their true colors start to show. So far, the Roys have proven that they will do just about anything for a chance to get ahead, and that has led to some very shocking moments throughout the series. Keep reading to see our list of five scenes from Succession that went way too far.
1. Waiter Dies in A Car Crash
Anyone who has seen Succession knows that the entire Roy family is capable of some pretty twisted stuff. Every time one of them has the chance to do the right thing, it seems like they always make the wrong choice. That was definitely the case during season one when Kendall asked a waiter at a party to help him find drugs. When the two left the venue, they ended up getting into a car accident that resulted in the car crashing into a lake. The waiter was killed and Kendall escaped with minor injuries. Instead of alerting authorities — or anyone for that matter — Kendall simply walked back to the party. If anyone thought that Kendall had some decency left in him, this scene quickly quitted that idea. The scene was inspired by Ted Kennedy's car crash in 1969 which resulted in the death of the passenger. Like Kendall, Kennedy didn't initially let anyone know that someone had been killed in the accident.
2. Logan Willing to Sacrifice His Son
Despite all of the issues that the Roys have, it's obvious that deep down Logan's children want nothing more than to be loved and respected by him. Unfortunately, though, every time they get close Logan reminds them that he doesn't see them as anything other than pawns. Kendall learned this the hard way during season two when his father decided to make him the scapegoat for issues within the company. Logan essentially forced Kendall to hold a press conference where he takes responsibility for the business' problems. Prior to this, it was no secret that Logan didn't care about anyone other than himself, but it was still a little shocking to see him sacrifice his son.
3. Roman And Gerri Have Phone Sex
Early on in the series, Roman and Gerri seem to have a relationship that is similar to mother and son. However, all of that changes one evening when a phone conversation between the two goes a little too far. Before getting off the phone, Roman makes a comment about pleasuring himself. Instead of hanging up, he goes through with the act while Gerri is still on the other line. Although she initially seems disgusted, Gerri eventually starts playing along. While these two aren't technically related, there was still something a little incestuous about this moment.
4. The Softball Game
If there's one thing this scene taught us, it's that no one is off-limits to the Roy family – not even children. During the episode, the Roys decide to play a family softball game. However, they realize that they are one player short. They decide to ask a young boy to join their team and Roman promises to give him $1 million if he hits a home run. He even goes as far as to write a check that he promises to hand over if the kid can manage a home run. When the boy fails to hit a home run, you can feel the disappointment spread through everyone on the field. To add insult to injury, Roman rips up the check right in the boy's face.
5. Boar on the Floor
Boar on the Floor is arguably one of the most memorable scenes from Succession, but it's also one of the most shocking. The game, which was initiated by Logan, is less of a game and more of a public humiliation tactic. Logan asks three of his dinner guests to get down on the floor and make animal noises while the rests of the guests chant "boar on the floor" while throwing sausages. While we've already established that Logan can be very disrespectful but this definitely took things to another level. It also showed that he has way more power over people than they'd like to admit.

Q: Android system overlay not shown outside my app I need to show a system overlay window on top of any running apps. It works fine, but only when my app's activity is in foreground. Here is the code I use:
params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY,
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE |
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE |
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND |
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON |
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED |
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON |
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD,
                    PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER | Gravity.TOP;
params.dimAmount = 0.3f;
wm = (WindowManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);

    mainAlertView = View.inflate(ctx, R.layout.system_alert_view, null);

    wm.addView(mainAlertView, params);

The view added to WindowManager contains empty LinearLayout to which I add child views at runtime:
    mainAlertLayout.addView(childView);

Manifest xml has SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission defined:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>

It all works magnificently while my activity is running in foreground. As soon as I switch to any other app or home screen no overlay is shown. I debugged the code, and it indeed is running wm.addView(), and its not throwing any exceptions. I also played around with LayoutParams flags (removed KEEP_SCREEN_ON and related etc), but nothing made any difference.
Android 4.4.2 fwiw

A: You need to create a service to keep the system overlay( alert) to show even when your application closed.
Create a simple service , I will call as FloatingService , which will show the overlay(alert) when onStartCommand is called . Return START_STICKY to keep the service run in background.
    public class FloatingService extends Service {
      private WindowManager windowManager;
      private View floatingView;

     WindowManager.LayoutParams params;
    @Override
     public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
      }

     @Override
     public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flag, int startId){
      // show the alert her
      windowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
       // use your custom view here
        floatingView = View.inflate(getBaseContext(),R.layout.floating_layout,null);            //floatingView.setOnTouchListener(mOnTouchListener);
        params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD,
                PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
           params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER | Gravity.CENTER;
        // add the view to window manger
        windowManager.addView(floatingView, params);
      return START_STICKY;
     }
 }

Add an listener to the view so that you can close the overlay(alert) when required
      floatingView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                windowManager.removeView(floatingView);
                floatingView = null;
            }
        });

Finally , register the service in manifest
 <service android:name="com.example.app.services.FloatingService" />

And System Alert permission
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>

A: The problem was that I was running addView() call in main view's post() method:
mainView.post(new Runnable() {
 public void run() {
  wm.add(mainView);
 }
);

Instead if I just run it in main thread it works fine. I use de.greenrobot.eventbus and its very simple to post Runnable to event bus and ensure it executes in main thread:
public void onEventMainThread(UIRunnableEvent event) {
    event.r.run();
}

public static class UIRunnableEvent {
    protected Runnable r;

    protected UIRunnableEvent(Runnable r) {
        this.r = r;
    }
}

Preheat oven to 200C. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and place into a small bowl. Drizzle over 2 Tbsp. olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Toss to combine and transfer to a baking tray. Place in the oven and bake until golden brown, approximately 7-10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
Cut tomatoes and cucumber into 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl along with the onion and capers. Tear the mozzarella into bites-sized pieces and add to other ingredients, toss to combine.
In a separate bowl, add the vinegar, mustard, garlic and a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper and whisk to combine. Gradually drizzle in the remaining olive oil, whisking continuously until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning if required. Add in the herbs and stir to coat.
Add the bread to the salad bowl and pour over the dressing. Gently toss to coat all ingredients. Allow to sit for at least 20 minutes to allow dressing to soak through the bread and infuse the flavours. Gently re-toss the salad just before serving, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and a sprinkle with a little salt and cracked black pepper.

As previously reported, Yer Bird Records just released their excellent, newly compiled folk comp entitled, wait for it, Folk Music for the End of the World! How great — and fitting — is that title?
Even better than the comp's title (not to mention the album artwork by Kathleen Lolly) is the compilations artist lineup; featuring all new and/or unreleased material from the likes of J. Tillman, O'death, Travel By Sea, Matthew Ryan, Paleo and a whole slew of others.
Ryan Adams fanatics will no doubt have noticed the change to the artist's website the past 24 hours. Now when one visits the site they are greeted by a steady stream of falling bananas, a bit of french, and a wordless, continous jam. Anyone know if this "song" has an official name? Until then, here is a rip of it — which I'm calling "Banana Jam"; dig that.
The song is called "21st Century War" and was rarely played live before.
This album in incredible. Every track stands out and after each listen I find myself drawn to another track that I can call my favorite! Great stuff.

A vote took place recently in Denver in which the city decided to overturn the ban on pit bulls. Although the vote has not yet been certified, the city's election division shows that over 65% are in approval of it.
The ordinance that stopped people from owning pit bulls in Denver was put in place in 1989. A number of people had been attacked during that time, which led to the ruling.
In February, the City Council voted to end the ban, but Mayor Michael Hancock vetoed it over concerns of what would happen if someone was hurt after pit bulls were allowed again.
Replace Denver BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) went on Facebook to call it an "absolutely historic win."
Denverites voted to repeal the city's 30-year-old ban on pit bulls. Passing the measure will allow the city to grant a provisional permit to pit bull owners as long as the owner microchips the animal & complies with add'l requirements set by @DASanimals: https://t.co/LRw2tSZwG7 pic.twitter.com/zyH8rd2KUZ
— City and County of Denver (@CityofDenver) November 5, 2020
The requirements for pet ownership have already been published, even though the repeal isn't finalized until January 1, 2021.
There are limits of two pit bulls per household and the owners must get a special permit. In order to receive a permit, the animals have to be vaccinated and microchipped. If a charged dog bite incident does not take place within three years, the restrictions may be dropped.
Between 1984 and May 1989, some 20 people in Colorado were attacked by pit bulls and this led to the ordinance being enacted. In October 1986, a three-year-old was attacked in Denver and the child died.
NBC affiliate KUSA of Denver reported that a spokesperson for the mayor sent an email, saying: "While Mayor Hancock has always been forthright in sharing he could not, in good conscious, sign the bill to overturn Denver's pit bull ban, he has also been very clear he supported putting this decision in the hands of Denver voters."


I just got some oil pastel art stuff today. Hoping sometime soon I can put something like that on paper.
Oh I cant wait to see..send me some pictures..
Lol depending on how it turns out!
Lol..art is in the eye of each beholder..I may like what u dont..
Well, my art experiment is underway. It's very simple, but it made a pretty good image for my Priorities post!
Awe thats the best message thank you Reeney your such a light to the world..your beautiful inside and out.


It's over a year ago since I poured my heart out here about losing my mother to cancer the week after I became a mother for the first time myself. The original post can be found here. At that time I was merely putting one foot in front of the other and I wasn't in a comfortable place. I couldn't speak about her without crying, think about her without it taking my breath away or stop feeling envious of those around me that still had their parents.
breaking down and remember her fondly.
I could have asked for and while I will miss her every day for a long time I will now in future smile when I think of the little things that she did that I now do for my son. She taught me to have compassion and to look after those around you. I will continue to do my best to remember that and hopefully I can pass on the same to Michael .
I guess what I'm trying to say is that when we lose someone that we love we don't ever really get over it. We just get to a stage of acceptance where we can hopefully love everything about the time that we had with them and let our tears and anger go. There will always be a gap in our lives but because she's not there I've spent more time with my dad and now I love and appreciate him even more for the gentleman that he is. I'll cherish every minute that I have with him as we know that we don't know what the future holds. Every day with your health is a blessing. This experience has taught me that. And for that I'm grateful.
If you still have your parents hug them and tell them you're thankful for everything they have done. The sacrifices that every parent makes for their children aren't always acknowledged but wouldn't it be nice to say you did thank them when you still could? Appreciate everything they have done. Listen to their stories. Learn from their advice. You'll miss is some day.

FIX EDUCATION FUNDING SHORTFALL
SUN-SENTINEL
The latest predictions from the Department of Education on Florida's inability to fund future school construction are another testimony to the state's foolhardy approach to taxes.
Of the $10 billion needed to build new public schools in the next decade, the state will be able to supply only $2.25 billion. Florida's 67 counties will have to make up the rest, although state law intends that school construction be primarily a state responsibility.
So much for state intentions and so much for adequate tax planning.
Most of the state's school construction fund comes from a tax on utilities and much of that fund is committed to paying back bonds sold to finance past school construction projects.
The utility tax also cannot be counted on as a growing source of revenue. Last year, state utility tax revenues actually decreased because the winter and summer were milder than usual. On top of that, the Florida Public Service Commission didn't vote a utility rate increase this year.
While voters in Broward and Palm Beach counties recently approved multimillion dollar bond issues to carry out ambitious building programs, most other counties throughout the state do not have the property base to finance such bond issues.
Unless the Legislature makes some changes, school officials predict that state contributions toward public school construction will virtually dry up. That certainly will not improve the reputation or the real effectiveness of the state's education system.
Although legislators are loathe to consider any major tax changes because of the recent services tax debacle, they must deal with Florida's inability to fund new school construction or deprive many students of an adequate education.
In reflecting on the Legislature's turnabout on the services tax, Rep. Art Simon, D-Miami, said, "In the final analysis . . . you pay me now or you pay me later."
The same holds for building new schools. The Legislature has no valid excuse for delaying a fix for school construction funds.


Founded in 2001, EDMT has become one of the premiere youth theater companies in the Western United States. More than exceptional theater, it is also a place where young people can "build confidence for life through excellence in theater production."
EDMT stages four major productions per year that perform at the Harris Center - Three Stages at Folsom Lake College, along with an annual training show for EDMT's youngest performers (aged 5-9). In addition to shows, classes are offered through EDMT's Performing Arts Institute and its premier performing group, High Voltage, serves as EDMT's community ambassadors, performing in local events and cabarets throughout the year.

Tell us about your blog. How long have you been blogging? Do you write on a regular schedule? Do you plan your topics in advance or write as the spirit moves you? What was your favorite post? At which post do you look back and wonder what you were thinking when you wrote it? What has been the best feedback you've ever received? Have you ever written anything that was perceived as controversial, though you didn't intend it that way? What tips would you offer other author bloggers?
Marcie Brock was born on May 2, 2011, so she's about to turn 2. Marcie is my alter-ego. She's a savvy communications expert who will share with you everything she knows about marketing your self-published books. The blog came about as I moved deeper into book marketing as a significant component of my business. After years of working as an editor, helping my clients get their books written and published, I began to notice that most of them had very little skill when it came to marketing these books they'd worked so hard to create. I had marketing expertise, so it was a natural fit to expand my services to first include — and now focus on — marketing their books. I now specialize in teaching self-publishing authors to think like marketers, meaning that they are planning their launches, building their platforms, and crafting their marketing strategies from the moment they begin writing.
As valuable as I KNOW writing on a regular schedule to be, life and business don't always allow for it. It helps me stay organized to have themes, and I believe it also helps my readers, as topical series allow me to explore topics much more fully than random single topics would. Of course, being a continuous learner who loves to share what she learns, I also write impromptu posts fairly often.
It's funny that what I enjoy writing is not necessarily what readers seem to see, like, or comment on. Of course, blog posts that teach (which is most of them) are fun. Blog posts where I tell stories about real-life incidents are also enjoyable. But the post I truly love is the one titled, "The Art of Captivation: What makes us LOVE that book, movie, song…?" U2 is my favorite band on the planet. I was listening to the A side of Joshua Tree for perhaps the 500th time, when the question occurred to me. What makes me LOVE this music so much? And what draws us to particular art or movies or books?
The post that shattered all records was just about a year ago, on March 7, the eve of International Women's Day. Marcie Brock had been getting some good traction in the search engines because I was posting pretty regularly, and then a strange thing happened. It seems that traffic to the International Women's Day site itself – which had the #1, #2, and #3 results for that term – overwhelmed the site to the point that people were unable to load the pages they were seeking. Our post contained just basic information about IWD, with links to a few events around the world and a link to the main IWD event calendar. But it must have been enough of what people wanted, because we captured the residual benefits from ranking #4 for the term "international women's day" with NEARLY 1,000 HITS over March 7 and 8! Our previous high had been 192 hits in a single day.
Too bad you brought beer into this article. It was quite funny and interesting, but then you mentioned alcohol and you lost my attention. People really should stop advertising alcohol and associating it with fun. Alcohol is the leading cause for accidents, violence, abuse, job loss and heart attacks and strokes. Advertizing it is wrong.
Seriously? I wasn't glorifying drinking, but obviously this was a trigger issue for the commenter. One thing I'm learning the more I put stuff out there: there's no pleasing everyone. I choose to allow unfiltered comments on my blog, as I don't want to put any extra barriers (besides the internal spam filter) between my readers and their ability to comment. And so far, this is the worst feedback I've received. When people write snarky comments on your blog, you have the options to comment back, hit the delete button, or let them stand without reply.
For more ideas about blogging, see the many posts I've written on the topic.
3 ways to benefit from events: Attend. Speak. Sponsor.
Last Wednesday, I visited a new (to me) women's business group called eWomen Network. It's a North American organization, with chapters in four Canada provinces (Alberta, BC, Nova Scotia, and Ontario) and 35 states in the US. Not surprisingly, California, Texas, and Florida have the most chapters.
The Phoenix chapter is under the relatively new management of Johnell McCauley – and she's doing a fantastic job. You couldn't precisely call the luncheon I attended a networking event, as it's much more than just that – but you could definitely call it an experience.
BE SEEN. This means showing up. But before you do, be sure you do your research, set great intentions, be willing to expand outside your comfort zone, and have a mechanism for following up. I've heard twice in two weeks: If you're going to collect cards at a meeting and then not follow up, you might as well just stay home. Lastly, go with the intention of being of service, rather than selling. This takes the pressure off both you and the people with whom you'll be connecting.
GET HEARD. As a speaker – even a free speaker at a weekly Rotary Club or chamber meeting – make sure you deliver a content-packed presentation with easily implementable steps. You will do your best if you exude both self-confidence and confidence in your area of expertise. Be sure to connect with your audience. If any of these seem wickedly challenging to you – start by getting yourself to a Toastmasters club, joining, and participating. Every speaker started somewhere – Toastmasters is an excellent place to get your feet wet.
CONNECT. Your end goal is to connect with others in a meaningful way. Do that AND be seen as a leader by speaking, sponsoring, or hosting your own events.
PLAN. As a speaker, you'll need a one sheet (we'll talk more about this in an upcoming post). You'll also need to do your research to learn about live and virtual events seeking speakers with your expert knowledge. Set goals for how many events you will attend, speak at, and sponsor this year – and keep at them until you achieve your goals. Calendar these goals in pencil – and mark them in ink when they're confirmed. Stand out from the crowd by picking up the phone and calling event planners, rather than relying exclusively on email. And check with prior speakers, vendors, and attendees to see what their experience was before signing up.
The main message here is that it's easier than you might think to use events – and speaking in particular – to get noticed, sell books, and enhance your business. What are YOUR event and speaking goals this year? Please share them in the comment section below.
To being seen, getting heard, connecting, and planning!
OK – just so we're clear: this is not a partisan post. This is about the concept of the State of the Union address, a speech the President of the United States presents to a joint session of the U.S. Congress, typically delivered in January of February of every year. Last night was President Obama's fifth State of the Union address, so it seems the perfect opportunity to study this annual event.
the word "he" after the election of our first female president?
In order to grasp the marketing lessons, let's break down the State of the Union address, one facet at a time.
OUTLINE YOUR AGENDA. The State of the Union address reports on the condition of the nation, as well as allowing the President to outline his legislative agenda (for which he needs Congress' cooperation) and his national priorities.
When it comes to your marketing, you need to have a plan and to be able to confidently, eloquently, and simply explain it, as necessary. While you may not follow it precisely – as life happens and situations change – a plan will give you an outline about where you're going so that can avoid trying to blindly navigate the market for your book.
COMMUNICATE IN A WAY PEOPLE WILL RESPOND TO. Though the State of the Union began as a communication between the President and Congress, it has morphed largely into a communication between the President and the people of the United States. With the advent of broadcast media, the speech is now seen live on most TV networks, preempting scheduled programming. Once given during the day, the speech is now made in the evening in order to reach the largest possible television audience, usually after 9 p.m. EST.
How are you communicating with your audience and prospective readers? Do you know where they are, and are you going there to reach them? Are you reaching out to them where they spend time (e.g., blog, website, social media, Meetup), or are you H-O-P-I-N-G they will come to find you?
HONOR SPECIAL GUESTS. The President's goal in the State of the Union is to outline the administration's accomplishments over the previous year, along with setting the agenda for the coming year, in upbeat and optimistic terms. Since 1982, it also has become common for the President to honor special guests sitting in the gallery of the U.S. House chamber, such as everyday Americans or visiting dignitaries.
Who are the most important people in your publishing success? Who are your raving fans? Whom do you go out of your way to thank for their support? And most importantly – how do you let them know how much you value them?
LEARN TO HANDLE CRITICISM. Since 1966, the televised State of the Union address has been followed by a response or rebuttal from a member of the opposing political party.
You will never be all things to all people, so how do you handle criticism? Do you view other authors in your genre as competition or colleagues? Do you look for the similarities – and ways to leverage them for increased exposure – or focus on the ways you're different?
Regardless of your politics – or feelings about the federal government – they do get some things right. I think the State of the Union is one of them. What lessons can you learn, extrapolate, or apply in your marketing efforts?
In the past week or so, I've seen three highly creative approaches to problem-solving that focus on requesting small actions from many people, rather than asking a lot from a few. When I saw the first, I thought, "Wow, what a great idea! I want to get involved." When I saw the second, I thought, "That's very cool. I'll have to blog about it." Now that the third has come across my email, I'm actually blogging about it!
Here are three strategies that involve reaching out to more people with smaller requests, thereby lowering the barrier to entry for making a difference.
Art4TheHomeless is an Atlanta based nonprofit organization that unites artists of all mediums to promote homeless awareness in the USA. Our goal is to open an art gallery and venue spot where not only artists will be shown and promoted, but also funds will be generated to sponsor other nonprofit homeless relief organizations.
Art4TheHomeless was started as an art blog by a young lady. The dream of a young artist affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita was to give back to the kind people at the homeless shelter she stayed in Atlanta, GA. At the time, all she had was her own art. She went to trade school and learned about computers and started the art blog–and used it to promote homeless awareness. That original blog is still up and you can click here to see it today!
Our goal is to raise $250, 000 one dollar at a time.
Imagine if 250K people only donated one buck!
Use this link if you'd like information about becoming an Art4TheHomeless partner.
Amazon is hosting a $1 for 1 Day sale of my new Amazon bestselling book, The ABCs of Money, on 3.3.13. Mark your calendar and share with your friends.
Think about various orgs that might benefit as well. You could gift 30 books to a high school math class for just $30 on that day. (I gifted books to the girls in Kenya whom I mentor, and to all of my retreat volunteers, for $80 instead of $1200.) All you need are the email addresses of whomever you wish to gift to. If the org is a 501c3, you could receive a tax write-off on your taxes, in addition to helping others.
If you are not in the U.S., one of your U.S. friends can buy and gift it to you. They just need your email address.
If you're on Facebook and would like more info, here's the link: http://goo.gl/mqQqY.
As a Peace Corps Volunteer, I do a community needs assessment, and develop projects based on that assessment. The biggest problem for the villages in Kavango Region is a lack of things for kids to do.
I am setting up a library at Diyana Combined School, with space for social events like: story time, girls' day and games day. The space will also be used for speaker presentations and movies.
Here's my problem, and where you come in: The library has very few books, and what they have are well worn. The shelves were mounted against the walls, so termites got many of them. I've since moved the shelves in hopes of eliminating that problem. I'm asking everyone in my network of friends, clients, and LinkedIn connections to send one children's book.
Why just one? To do a book drive would result in one person shipping and paying for what could be a lot of books. That can get very expensive and time consuming. Instead, you can grab a book off your kid's shelf, or used book store, or even your grocery store. Throw it into a brown envelope, walk it to the post office and mail it to: Diyana Combined School Library, P. O. Box 5061, Divundu, Namibia. The postage is your contribution.
Then you pass this email on to 10 friends. Before long Diyana will have enough books to fill its shelves. It's a small thing to do that can make a real difference.
Thanks for taking the time to help out. For those of you who helped by donating to Andara Combined School, that library has been a big success. THANK YOU!
While none of these ideas may apply directly to you, as always I challenge you to find lessons from these concepts that you can apply to your own marketing, networking, and/or problem-solving efforts.
Two of these came to me via Facebook and one reached out through LinkedIn, so one lesson here is harnessing the power of social media. I also noticed that all of these creative thinkers are women. Gentlemen, where are your good ideas? Let's hear them!
Here's to innovative thinking in YOUR book marketing!

Encyclopedia > Rockcliffe Park
Rockcliffe Park is the wealthiest neighbourhood in Ottawa, Ontario, and is one of the most prosperous enclaves in Canada. Until 2001 it was an independent village, but was amalgamated with the rest of the city that year. As of 2001, Rockcliffe Park had a population of 2,028.
The area is northeast of downtown, on the southern banks of the Ottawa River. It encompasses the small MacKay Lake, and the Ottawa Rockery, a rock garden maintained by the National Capital Commission. The largely francophone neighbourhood Vanier area lies to the south.
Rockcliffe Park is home to many Ottawa notables. Stornoway, the residence of the leader of the Canadian Official Opposition is located there. Many ambassadors to Canada also live in Rockcliffe, including the ambassadors of Israel, the United States of America, and the Papal Nuncio. In recent years the neighbourhood has attracted leaders of Ottawa's high tech industry, including Michael Cowpland, former Chief Executive Officer of Corel, who built a large gold-coloured house in the area, much to the consternation of the community.
The area is also home to Ashbury and Elmwood, Ottawa's two most prestigious private schools. Actor Matthew Perry attended the former.
As it was long a separate village not under the jurisdiction of Ottawa's municipal government, Rockcliffe Park differs from the rest of the city. It has very few sidewalks, but is also relatively inaccessible to through traffic. Much of Rockcliffe is still wooded and the houses are set far apart on wide lots.
Average salary in Rockliffe Park is $119,377 whereas the average salary in Ottawa is $53,250.

Restoration Rockcliffe Park Pavilion, Ottawa, Ont. Canada (0 words)
The Rockcliffe Park Pavilion was built in 1917 and was in urgent need of repais: the asphalt shingle roof was at the end of its useful life, the roof structure was rotted at various locations and some of the concrete architectural work was badly deteriorated.
In order to ensure its integration into the park's environment, it was decided that its architecture would be based on the architectural vocabulary of the main pavilion, but that its details would be contemporary, thus leaving no doubt on the period of its construction.
Le pavillon du Parc Rockcliffe fut construit en 1917 et était en très mauvais état: la couverture en bardeaux d'asphalte était rendue à la fin de sa vie utile, la structure du toit était pourrie à de nombreux endroits et plusieurs éléments architecturaux en ciment étaient très détériorés.

The Cuban city of Holguin might not – yet – trip off the tongue in quite the same way as Havana, Santa Clara or even Camaguey does, but don't let that put you off a visit to this historic city. Situated in the island's east a short flight from the capital, it was founded right back in 1545, and is today Cuba's fourth largest city, but its relatively limited tourist numbers means it's one of the best places in Cuba to experience the authentic life of Cuba's people away from the camera lens' of the international media. So what are the top 5 Holguin Cuba tourist attractions to our mind? Read on to find out!
Located to the north of the city, there are two ways to reach the summit of the Loma de la Cruz, or Hill of the Cross. You can drive there, with drivers of the local taxi fleet of vintage convertibles sure to know the way, but we think the steep climb up its 458 steps makes the end result of near endless panoramic views across the city all the more rewarding. The heat means it's best avoided during the middle hours of the day, with the hill making a great option for sunset, since the steps are lit by lampposts after dark. Standing at 261 metres above sea level, it is, needless to say, topped with a wooden cross, which is said to protect the city's residents and was visited by the Pope just a few years ago. While you get your bearings, make the most of your time at the top by enjoying a drink at the café-bar before making the return journey back to the centre to explore more Holguin Cuba tourist attractions.
Situated on a small area of level ground ringed by traditional thatched round houses, the museum of El Chorro de Maita is the place to come to explore the cultural heritage nearly lost after the conquest of the Spanish. As you explore the round houses that make up the museum, guides will give you the history of ritual before the arrival of the Spanish on the island. There are also demonstrations of healing and other ceremonies by Cubans in traditional tribal attire. You'll now find a recently discovered burial ground as well, belonging to the indigenous Tainos people dating back to the thirteenth century, the first period of human habitation on the island. Containing the skeletal remains of 62 tribe members, including children, it is considered a unique view into the past due to the fact each is buried in a different position.
Although the beaches of Guardalavaca, such as Playa Esmeralda and Bahia de Naranjo (Orange Bay), are what the coastal town near Holguin is known for when it comes to Holguin Cuba tourist attractions, its also the place to pick up a great range of souvenirs to take back home with you, thanks to its daily arts and crafts market. Here you'll find everything from shaped ash trays (for those Cuban cigars you've probably also purchased), beautifully made models of the country's classic cars, carved dancers and musicians, clocks shaped like rum bottles, and even sundresses. Put your bargaining hat on for the best bargains, and don't be afraid to practice your Spanish while you're at it. What's the worst that could happen?
We shouldn't need to tell you that Cuba has an almost unique way of doing things, based around a socialist system intended to prevent anyone on the island from being in need. The result is free education and healthcare, but also a complicated series of laws regarding home ownership and private enterprise (which is why casas particulares bed and breakfasts, and paladares privately-owned restaurants are such a ground-breaking idea). It can also mean shortages for basic food stuffs despite the existence of a rationing system (every Cuban citizen gets a ration booklet with their monthly allowance noted down), which can be something of a shock when visiting places such as the pleasant fishing village of Boca de Sama. Many Cubans turn to agriculture to supplement rations, and there are a number of farms around the area that have become Holguin Cuba tourist attractions in their own right, growing everything from coffee to 'donkey' bananas which are eaten fried. For a better understanding of how modern Cuba works, there's really no better way than seeing it first hand for yourself!
The resort island of Cayo Saetia sits southeast of the city of Holguin between the Bay of Nipe and the Atlantic Ocean, though it remains connected to the Cuban mainland thanks to a bridge. What makes the island particularly special as one of the top Holguin Cuba tourist attractions is the fact that until 1994 the island was the private holiday home of the Castro family, with Fidel and his nearest and dearest arriving and departing not via the bridge but by helicopter for the journey back to state business in Havana. Taking a luxury yacht across from Holguin is perhaps the finest of ways to first set foot on this cay, which is now a three-star resort. The area immediately around the resort itself is known to be home to a camel, as well as several ostrich and parrots, while as a private government game reserve it was also inhabited by giraffe, zebra, and water buffalo. Strange but true! Today, tourists mainly head to the island for its fine powdery white sand beaches, beautiful shallows, and forested interior, although Jeep safaris of the island are still on offer too.
Away from the spotlight in the lesser visited east of the Cuban island, Holguin offers visitors some fine tourist attractions as we've outlined above. Whether your main interests are history, shopping, or simply flopping on a beach, Holguin holds something for you!

ROC wins women's team sabre gold, South Korea takes bronze
CHIBA, JAPAN - JULY 31: Sofia Pozdniakova of Team ROC celebrates after winning a point against Charlotte Lembach of Team France during the Women's Sabre Team Fencing Gold Medal Match on day eight of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Makuhari Messe Hall on July 31, 2021 in Chiba, Japan.
By: Ryan Quigley
The ROC has won gold in women's team sabre once again after beating France 45-41 Saturday morning.
Everything was going France's way early on after Olga Nikitina beat Manon Brunet in Round 1. The French won each of the next three rounds and took two of them rather convincingly. Nikitina then stayed hot for ROC in the fifth round, though, defeating Charlotte Lembach by a score of 11-3 to completely shift the match's momentum.
It was all ROC in the following two rounds. Sofya Velikaya and Sofia Pozdniakova won both of their respective bouts, and while Brunet did an admirable job trying to close the gap, Nikitina sealed the deal for ROC in the final round to defend their team sabre gold from Rio.
ROC has now earned seven fencing medals at the Tokyo Olympics alone, including a gold in women's team foil. And they may not be done. The ROC men will have a chance to win gold in team foil Sunday morning.
South Korea Takes Bronze
South Korea came out fast and furious in its bronze medal match as Ji-Yeon Kim swiftly got a pair of touches on the board for her squad. Italy's Irene Vecchi responded quickly, though, earning her country a victory in the first round.
Vecchi's teammates mostly followed her lead for the next several rounds. The Italians recorded five hits in each of the following four rounds, resulting in two wins and two ties, until Jisu Yoon bested Rossella Gregorio 11-5 in Round 6.
However, the tides turned in Round 7 when South Korea reclaimed the lead after a huge 9-3 win by Ji-Yeon Seo over Michela Battiston. Yoon then logged an additional five hits in the eighth round to get South Korea within five of victory in the final round. Ultimately, it was Ji-Yeon Kim who ended it and won bronze for the Koreans in Round 9.

REVIEW: MAC x Selena Lipsticks – Como La Flor, Amor Prohibido & Dreaming of You
December 17, 2016 / Fiona Seah
The year is drawing to a close. Looking back, there had been some noteworthy M.A.C collections released throughout the year but nothing comes close to the overwhelmingly positive response the Selena collection had elicited. It was a complete sell-out success which saw every single item flying off the shelves. Being a fan of Selena and her English music (which I first heard on a local radio a few years ago), I was really anticipating this collection and had been following the news of this launch very closely since M.A.C announced plans were in the works to fulfill the wishes of over 30,000 petitioners for a limited-edition Selena makeup line last year. M.A.C could have turned a deaf ear to their pleas (after all, the sales of their Mariah Carey collection would definitely do well) but they did not 🙂 #respect
For the benefit of those who don't know who the collaborator in question is, well, she is no longer around, hence making this the second posthumous collection by M.A.C (after Marilyn Monroe) in honour of the late American singer-songwriter. Dubbed the Queen of Tejano music, Selena Quintanilla was a one-time Grammy winner for Best Mexican/American Album and had made a name for herself in the English market back when Tejano music was virtually unheard of outside the Latino community. She was on her way to international stardom with her then-newly recorded English album but all these came to an abrupt end when she was brutally murdered by her psychopath fan club president in 1995.
Selena and her fan club president-turned-murderer, Yolanda Saldívar (credit) Selena's life is documented on her biopic Selena, starring JLo as the multi-talented singer
At time of her death, she had already accomplished more than most people would do in 23 years of their lifetime – on top of being a successful singer, she was also an actress and fashion designer having established two Selena Etc. boutiques which raked in millions of dollars before their gradual demise and finally closure in 2009. An inspiration to us all, she was a living proof that anything is possible through hard work and perseverance. She was such a prominent figure that her birthday was declared Selena Day in Texas by then-Texas governor George W. Bush after her death. Did you know Selena Gomez was named after her as well? That's how big an impact she had made with her music and never-say-die attitude!
As an Obsessed member with M.A.C, I had the privilege to shop the collection a few days prior to everyone else online and I got myself all three lipsticks shades. If I had known that the lipglass was online-exclusive before it sold out, I would have bought that as well. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise as I hardly use gloss XD
M A.C Selena

On the performing stage, Selena was often decked out in purple outfits as purple was one of her favourite colours apart from black. Hence, it makes perfect sense to encase the entire 18-piece collection in purple casing featuring her signature in lavender and aptly named after her popular hits in her remembrance. For those who are dying to own a piece of Selena memorabilia but barely have the money to travel to Texas, this is the closest you can get to the actual stuff sold at the Selena Museum at Corpus Christi.
Staying true to Selena's down-to-earth and charitable public persona, I noticed M.A.C did not attempt to mark up the prices for this collection unlike what they did to their Mariah Carey holiday collection *sniggers* The prices are kept low (with the most expensive item being the makeup brush only at US$35 but I can't say the same for Singapore) so that fans across all walks of life could afford them. Amidst all the accusations of animal testing thrown at M.A.C, it is heartening to know that they aren't all that money-minded.
#1 Como La Flor

M.A.C Selena lipstick in Como La Flor
Even before M.A.C revealed anything about the collection, everyone knew for sure a bold red lipstick was going to be included in this lineup because red lips were part of Selena's iconic look. According to her husband Chris Perez and other commenters on his Facebook status update, the shades for all the makeup products in this collection were matched exactly to the original that Selena used to carry around when she was touring (provided by her sister Suzette who amazingly still has her makeup bag up till today *gasp*). That is to say, this is the classic red (rumoured to be Chanel's Brick which has already been discontinued) that Selena wore on her lips!
Como La Flor ("Like a Flower") is described as a dirty cherry red with an Amplified finish. Fully pigmented with great colour consistency, it applies very smoothly on the lips and feels unbelievably hydrating. This shade creates a luscious sheen (Selena's red lips looked more matte, though) and does not settle into lip lines but will require a lot of reapplications because a whole lot of it will transfer onto anything the lips touch.

Other alternatives to get if you missed the launch in October are Von Teese and Brave Red. Brave Red is slightly lighter and less pigmented while Von Teese lends a more matte finish.
#2 Amor Prohibido
M.A.C Selena lipstick in Amor Prohibido (US$18)
M.A.C Selena lipstick in Amor Prohibido
Since nude lipsticks are hardly associated with Selena, Amor Prohibido could most likely be added to balance out the heavy and vibrant shades in this collection because not everyone who idolises her is courageous enough to step out of their comfort zone with head-turning red lips, yes?
Amor Prohibido ("Forbidden Love") is described as a pinky midtone brown with Glaze finish. It is a pale mocha brown shade that leaves a lightweight, sheer but slightly oily texture when applied, giving the lips an extra plump on top of the moisturised and nourished appearance. Even though this shade is buildable, you would need to apply multiple layers to finally see some colour. Glaze lipsticks are known to have the sheerest finish so I wouldn't recommend this if you have naturally dark lips unless a glossy look is your go-to.
M.A.C Selena Amor Prohibido swatch comparison
Among the Fireflies (from the Faerie Whispers collection) is quite close – it just has a bit more yellow undertones. No one would be able to notice the difference, trust me.
#3 Dreaming of You
M.A.C Selena lipstick in Dreaming of You (US$18)
M.A.C Selena lipstick in Dreaming of You
Despite debuting as a Latin artist. one of Selena's biggest dreams was to reach success in the English market. This dream was realised when her English studio album (also her last) titled Dreaming of You peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 selling 175,000 copies in it's first day of availability. This achievement – which she unfortunately didn't have the chance to witness – was what drew attention to Latin music. Selena also recorded an English track of the same name for this album and coincidentally, it was the first song I heard by her some years back. This lipstick is a great way to remember her by, at least for me.
Dreaming of You is described as a deep wine with Matte finish. It gives a mostly opaque colour payoff that guarantees a long-lasting wear. Instead of a flat matte texture, this actually has a natural sheen to it. The result is a richly pigmented dark red with blue undertones that makes teeth look whiter and faces fairer. Somewhat creamy, it tugs on my lips slightly. The consistency feels a lot more drying than the other two lipsticks and does not apply evenly across the lips. It does not fully coat the lips unless with several applications. Still, for a matte, it delivers a rather moisturising finish.
M.A.C Selena Dreaming of You swatch comparison
Dark Side has stronger hints of purple while Diva is slightly darker. I personally feel that the latter is a closer match.
As you can tell from the swatches, the lipsticks in this collection are nothing out of the ordinary. If you're a lipstick aficionado like me, you'd probably already have something similar so unless you are a supporter of Selena (or a sucker for LE packaging), I don't see any reason why you need to have them. What say you?
M.A.C X Selena was launched online in October 2016 but has since sold out. Stocks may still be available in M.A.C. Ngee Ann City outlet (the only one that carries this collection in Singapore). An online restock is scheduled for early January 2017.

Go to a party to cut dementia risk: Study
Keeping a full social calendar may help protect you from dementia,researchers said .
Socially active people who were not easily stressed had a 50 per cent lower risk of developing dementia compared with men and women who were isolated and prone to distress,they reported in the journal Neurology.
"In the past,studies have shown that chronic distress can affect parts of the brain,such as the hippocampus,possibly leading to dementia," Hui-Xin Wang of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden,who led the study,said in a statement.
"But our findings suggest that having a calm and outgoing personality in combination with a socially active lifestyle may decrease the risk of developing dementia even further."
An estimated 24 million people worldwide have the memory loss,problems with orientation and other symptoms that signal Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
Researchers believe the number of people with dementia may quadruple by 2040,underlining the importance of better understanding the condition.
The Swedish study involved 506 elderly people who did not have dementia when first examined. The volunteers were given questionnaires about their personality traits and lifestyles and then tracked for six years.
Over that time,144 people developed dementia with more socially active and less stressed men and women 50 per cent less likely to be diagnosed with the condition.
"The good news is,lifestyle factors can be modified as opposed to genetic factors which cannot be controlled," Wang said. "But these are early results,so how exactly mental attitude influences risk for dementia is not clear."
