You're a Doc, You've Got This, but Your Face Shield's Foggy
"The will to live—and to help other women live and have access to abortion—kept me going."
By Maria Espinoza
(Maria Espinoza)
Cuernavaca, Morelos—They say that a person can get used to anything, except not eating. I guess that's true. After five months of exercising extreme caution as a doctor, it all seems comfortable and easy now compared with those distant days of late February, when the pandemic had just begun to dawn on us all.
Back then, I was getting ready to go to the Mexico City airport to travel to the annual meeting of a group of sexual and reproductive health specialists when a rumor was spreading online that the first case of Covid-19 had been documented in Mexico. It swiftly became clear that the rumor was fact. A colleague, who coordinates training for our loose and vulnerable national network of abortion providers, reported that her husband, an internist at one of Mexico's most exclusive private hospitals, was treating that first Covid case.
Some of us had surgical masks with us. In the airport, virtually no one used them. Nor do most people use them today, even as the curve of contagion and death bends continually upward.
Our group was divided at first on the seriousness of the threat. In the leftist circles within which I move, most people believed it was a false flag to control Mexico's poorest and most vulnerable classes. Soon, though, I would see patients in my own clinic in Morelos with respiratory symptoms who would die before they were tested. In New York City, people I know and love would be hospitalized. It was clear that a national emergency was on the horizon, and that, like health workers throughout the world, I would be on the front lines.
With little and conflicting information on how to operate during a fast-arriving crisis, we were all confused. Some colleagues told us to dress like astronauts, basically to armor up, when seeing patients. This would prove difficult when even N95 face masks were sold out or resold online for ridiculous prices. I made do with face masks from the local hardware store, the kind that house painters use.
I was afraid to see my patients, and yet felt more committed than ever, given the other never-ending health emergency for women who wish to end their pregnancies in a state where it is prohibited. As Covid took hold, my patients also were afraid. When they came to appointments, they brought what protective gear they could, simple face masks or cloth bandanas. We spaced out appointments as much as possible. My assistants and I used what safeguards we had at our disposal: boots, a double layer of gloves, hairnets, and surgical gowns, along with face shields we purchased from the same guy who sells pirated DVDs in the pueblo.
The medical procedures continued, as they had to, even as my breath fogged up my plastic face shield, and I struggled to see what I was doing. The risk of making a mistake increased, even when conducting this simple outpatient procedure. Anxiety took hold, and I had to fight the impulse to tear off my uncomfortable and unwieldy gear. The goggles cut so deeply into my face that I sometimes started seeing double. I controlled my fear with deep breathing exercises, which served only to fog up my face shield more.
And yet, everything turned out fine, every time. I kept waiting for my luck to run out. That, or an end to the pandemic. None of this seemed humanly possible, and the working conditions I and the other providers in our network imposed on ourselves seemed similarly inhuman.
Combing my hair became a luxury, so I shaved my head. I began to dress in an improvised version of that space suit others had recommended. The time I had used to take care of my hair was now used to suit up.
Today, the challenge for my risky line of work is getting some of my patients used to telemedicine when possible. While many of my younger patients couldn't be happier at the chance to treat their problems without leaving their room, others don't trust it, especially older women who are used to making eye contact, judging me, and feeling my presence.
Yet telemedicine is a necessity now. The script I use to start my calls has become second nature: "My name is Maria Espinoza. Everything we discuss will be absolutely confidential. Everything I ask you is with the aim of getting enough information to make a diagnosis that helps me provide you with the best treatment possible. The main objective of this consultation is to allow you to exercise your rights as a woman. That's why you should feel free to interrupt me whenever you feel the need to, and so that you can participate actively in this process. I'm here to listen to you, and you have my complete attention."
I had always started patient conversations this way, but when the phone is our only link, it has become the key to getting close to the lives of the women I treat, gently.
This crisis within a crisis has taught me that responding to change with agility makes us stronger. Looking for solutions is what I have always done. It's what we've always done, as women, as doctors, mothers, neighbors, daughters, sisters, and partners.
The pandemic brought paralysis to my work at the beginning, but it didn't last long. Women began to knock at my door, as they always have, and always will. I had to respond. Fear, commitment, responsibility, propelled me forward. But above all, the will to live and help other women live.
It is with this will, emanating from every solid beat of my joyful heart, that I hope that solidarity continues to fortify us, so that the many-colored hands of the earth can build a better future, in spite of the virus. To do it, we just have to look below and toward the left. That's where our heart is, and I'm grateful to it.

For more than 20 years she has helped women assert their rights to make decisions regarding the "autonomous territory" of their bodies.

Oil rises as concern heats up over Iran sanctions, Venezuelan output
Reuters London, UK Apr 26, 2018, 08.10 PM(IST)

Oil rose on Thursday, supported by expectations of renewed U.S. sanctions on Iran, declining output in Venezuela and continuing strong demand.
Brent crude oil futures were last up 90 cents at $74.90 a barrel at 1204 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures gained 66 cents to $68.71 per barrel.
The oil price has risen by 15 percent in the last four weeks thanks to expectations that the United States will reimpose sanctions on Iran, a major oil producer and member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday he expected U.S. President Donald Trump to pull out of a deal with Iran reached in 2015 in which the Islamic Republic suspended its nuclear programme in return for Western powers lifting crippling sanctions.
Trump will decide by May 12 whether to restore U.S. sanctions on Tehran, which would probably result in a reduction of Iranian oil exports.
"Geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, together with Venezuela's deteriorating macroeconomic situation, are supporting oil prices. It is widely anticipated that President Trump will pull the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal, which is bullish for prices, said Abhishek Kumar, senior energy analyst at Interfax Energy's Global Gas Analytics.
"However, (the) full impact of the move will not materialise unless it is supported by European allies of the U.S."
Venezuela's crude production has fallen from almost 2.5 million barrels per day (bpd) in early 2016 to around 1.5 million bpd due to a political and economic crisis.
Plunging Venezuelan output and looming U.S. sanctions against Iran come against a backdrop of strong demand, above all in Asia, the world's biggest oil-consuming region.
However, not all market indicators point towards tighter supplies.
US&nbspcrude oil inventories rose by 2.2 million barrels in the week to April 20 to 429.74 million barrels.
US&nbspcrude production rose by 46,000 bpd on the previous week, to 10.59 bpd.
Soaring U.S. output has made WTI crude around $6 per barrel cheaper than Brent and drawn exports to record highs.
Dutch bank ING said "the wide discount for WTI to Brent saw exports rising 582,000 bpd week-on-week to a record high of 2.33 million bpd."
With U.S. output and exports surging, some analysts warn that the 20 percent climb in Brent prices since February is starting to look overdone.
"The market does look a little&nbsptoppish," said Greg McKenna,&nbspchief&nbspmarket strategist at futures brokerage AxiTrader.

This week the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C. reached their peak bloom (at a remarkably early date) so I went into D.C. to see them. This is the 100th anniversary of the D.C. cherry blossoms. Here is a photo I took of the blossoms and the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial. It is a great memorial, but is particularly stunning with the blossoms as they surround it.


In 1906, Frank Alvah Parsons established the first academic interior design program in the United States. Parsons continues to lead this evolving field with programs including AAS Interior Design. Begin your interior design career with accomplished New York professionals who guide you in exploring design's potential to improve lives at every scale. You develop an awareness of the social, environmental, and cultural dimensions of interiors through curricula and projects that investigate global concerns such as sustainability and economic inequality. In the process, you become a designer equipped with the knowledge, skills, and networks needed to succeed in a growing field.
The AAS program provides up to 44 credits of coursework toward the educational requirements of the Council for Interior Design Qualifications (CIDQ) Examination and those for New York State Certified Interior Designer licensure. Although licensure is not required in order to practice interior design, some graduates choose to obtain a license. If you wish to pursue licensure, refer to the CIDQ website and the requirements for your jurisdiction.
In the program, you take three design studios focusing on residential, retail, workplace, and hospitality interiors. You learn the theory and practice of interior design through conceptual investigations of space, research on sustainability and materials, and training in computer rendering. In the studios, you explore the relationship between interior architecture and decorative arts. The AAS professional program allows you to take electives offered throughout Parsons to develop the range of skills required in the future workplace. Internships at prominent design firms like Victoria Hagan Interiors, Starwood Hotels and Resorts, AvroKO, Ghislaine Viñas Interior Design, and Yabu Pushelberg offer opportunities to apply your learning to real-world interiors.
You share campus facilities with students of architecture, lighting design, and product design and can work in the fabrication shop and conduct research in the Light Lab and the Angelo Donghia Healthier Materials Library. "AfterTaste," an international design symposium hosted by Parsons, and WORK, the program's annual publication, let you engage with international scholars and practitioners shaping the contemporary design landscape.
The city's museums, archives, and designed spaces present opportunities for both applied and critical study. Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum — an important collection of decorative arts and furniture and sponsor of many industry-related events — is a key resource. You also have access to the showrooms, factories, dealers, auction houses, and experts that make the city an international center of interior design.
Explore the AAS Interior Design community to see what students, faculty, and alumni are doing in NYC and around the world at sce.parsons.edu. This program is part of Parsons' School of Constructed Environments (SCE).
The Associate in Applied Science degree is awarded for completion of 65 credits of coursework. A maximum of 31 credits of undergraduate coursework may be transferred from other institutions. Students must maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average and fulfill all requirements in a timely manner.
Students who receive the maximum number of transferable credits (31) may be able to complete their degree in two semesters, as outlined in the Interior Design (AAS) Curriculum for Fast Track option below. Students can study this option with their advisor once all credits are transferred.
Principal, Sheila Bridges Design, Inc.
A studio-based, research-oriented program that combines advanced design methods with courses addressing the relationship between human behavior and the interior. Applicants must have a bachelor's degree; experience in interior design or a related field is preferred but not required.


If you were to analyse it from a critical standpoint, you would have to come to the conclusion that the history of British TV comedies transferring to the big-screen has been rather patchy. While there have been plenty of successes down through the years – the various films by the Monty Python crew being obvious examples – there have also been plenty of failed attempts to embody the spirit that was initially captured in its original format.
2002's Ali G Indahouse was a misfire, and as recently as last year, we had Keith Lemon: The Film, which featured prominently on the 'Worst Of 2012' lists for many notable film critics.
Whenever films of this nature are released, there is always a huge amount of expectation from the loyal fans who helped to make the television series so popular in the first place, and it is no surprise that they are met with such derision when the finished product falls below the standards that were originally set.
The same sort of anticipation surrounds the arrival of Alan Partridge, Steve Coogan's most celebrated creation, to the silver screen for the first time in the intriguingly titled Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, which finds the narcissistic Norwich broadcaster hosting Mid Morning Matters alongside his trusty ally, Side-Kick Simon (Tim Key).
Unlike films like Bean (the first of two cinematic outings for Rowan Atkinson's Mr Bean), Borat and Bruno (the latter two proving more successful for the aforementioned Sacha Baron Cohen), Coogan and his team of writers have resisted the temptation for sending Partridge to America (and thus making this a 'fish out of water' tale), and have instead kept him in the familiar terrain of his home city.
Indeed, much of the film (which is perfectly paced and constructed at 90 minutes) takes place within the confines of the Norfolk Digital Radio station, which is being re-branded as 'Shape' by a new multinational conglomerate. As a result of this takeover, late-night Irish DJ Pat Farrell (played by our own Colm Meaney) finds himself surplus to requirements, and after receiving his P45 from the station, he arrives at an office party armed with a shotgun, and proceeds to keep the employees of the station (and some members of the conglomerate) hostage.
Despite initially fleeing the scene, Alan Partridge is forced to re-enter the station, as he is the only person that Farrell is willing to speak to, and as a media frenzy starts to develop around the siege, Partridge finds himself thrust back into the media spotlight, with the former Knowing Me, Knowing You host only too willing to capitalise on a unique opportunity to boost his flagging profile.
Along with the return of the titular character, Felicity Montagu is also back as Partridge's long-suffering assistant Lynn Benfield, while Simon Greenall's Michael The Geordie has progressed from being a hotel worker and petrol station attendant in I'm Alan Partridge to the position of security guard at Norfolk Digital.
Side-kick Simon was also established in the recent web-based Mid Morning Matters mockumentary series, and with these much-adored characters back in the saddle, there is plenty for Partridge devotees to love about Alpha Papa. The wit and humour of his TV incarnations have also remained intact, but the filmmakers have worked overtime to ensure that they aren't simply re-capping old material, and have made a film that is accessible to punters who have limited knowledge of a character that has been in the public domain since 1991.
By now, Coogan is so comfortable in his role as Partridge, that it doesn't even seem like he is acting. He has shown in his other work (particular under the direction of Michael Winterbottom) that he is a fine actor with plenty of range, but this is the one role that he will always be remembered for. The new additions to the cast all adapt to the environment with a great deal of gusto, none more so than Meaney, who has to hold his own as a jilted, dinosaur Disc Jockey.
The former Star Trek star isn't the only Irish involvement in making of Alpha Papa, however, as Wexford native Declan Lowney (who is best known for his work on Father Ted) is in the director's chair, and there is also a supporting turn from Simon Delaney as one of the special forces operatives who are aiming to bring the siege to a satisfactory conclusion.
With jokes and set-pieces coming thick and fast at the audience, it is unsurprising that not everything in Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa comes off in the way that you might hope, and though a huge effort has been made to ensure that the style of the film is cinematic, there are still some televisual touches to the overall product.
However, Coogan and co-writer Armando Iannucci (who has past form in transporting a TV series into the medium of cinema with The Thick Of It spin-off In The Loop), as well as the remaining three contributors to the finished script, have far too much affection for the character of Partridge (and indeed for the city of Norwich itself) to let their guard down, and with many quotable lines – "I am siege face" being one of the memorable – as well as some moments of genuine poignancy, Coogan & Co. have managed to deliver the goods on a project that had been in the pipeline for close to a decade.


Can you disclose confidential information arising out of Care Proceedings to other agencies such as the police?
The process of disclosure of confidential material is governed by rules and protocols and sometimes the approval of the Court is required. The main objective is to set up an exchange of information and for full co-operation between the authorities involved in child protection matters and in bringing cases to the Court concerning child abuse.
The approval of the Court is not needed where information is shared in the context of the proceedings to provide advice or assistance to a child of party to the proceedings. For example, a party can share information to a health care professional or a person or body providing counselling services for children or families.
If you require legal representation in relation to a Child Protection matter our team at Emery Johnson Astills may be able to assist.
In relation to the question posed 'Can you disclose confidential information arising out of Care Proceedings to other agencies such as the police?' The leading case is RE EC (Disclosure of Material) . In this case the Court set out factors to help determine whether or not information arising out of Care Proceedings should and can be disclosed.
The public interest in the prosecution of serious crime and punishment of offenders including the public interest in convicting those who have been guilty of violent or sexual offences against children. There is a strong public interest in making available material to the police which is relevant to a criminal trial and in many cases this will be an important factor.
The Court is required to consider each point in turn and apply them to the facts of the case. Cases after RE EC suggest that the Courts have a tendency to approve the disclosure of information to the police.
If the police make an application for disclosure for the purposes of bringing a criminal prosecution it is important that this is stated in the Court Order giving permission to the Chief Constable of the relevant police force to disclose material to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). The Order will also provide for the CPS to disclose the information they receive from the police to the Defence and complies with their disclosure rules set out in the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 to use material in evidence at the criminal proceedings.
If you require legal representation in relation to a Child Protection matter our team at Emery Johnson Astills may be able to assist. Please do not hesitate to call our Child Law Team at Emery Johnson Astills on 0116 255 4855 (Leicester office) or 0150 961 0312 (Loughborough office).

Political science has a relationship within the study of law. In the United States, the Parens Patriae doctrine has had its biggest utility within the therapy of children , mentally unwell persons, and other individuals who're legally incompetent to manage their affairs. Earlier than the 1998 IRS Reform and Restructuring Act, a taxpayer had no probability to prove that the IRS had executed unlawful or fraudulent accounting practices against them.
The Law that builds relationship between the federal government of a rustic and the citizens is a public Law. The newly enfranchised majority has determined to formulate law on the identical precept of legal plunder that was utilized by their predecessors when the vote was restricted. That is a lot the case that, in the minds of the folks, law and justice are one and the same factor.
On fifteenth-18th of February, the Maastricht staff participated within the regional final of the European Law Moot Court held on the College of Lucerne, Switzerland. We The People don't have any obligation to just accept an revenue tax that allows the federal government to power it's citizens to surrender any Constitutional Rights. Normally, it's estimated that if two or more individuals come to an settlement (offer and acceptance); make a consideration (financial, dedication, or phrases of an change); are thought-about competent (legally and mentally); and the settlement is of a authorized nature (not in opposition to the law) they've entered into a legally binding contract.
For instance, it's not illegal to deceive a good friend but many individuals believe it's not ethic. The rules and technicalities have to give approach to the curiosity of substantial justice. Although it has not been decided by our Justice system that the Citizen is protected by the Fifth Modification when it comes to tax returns, a Federal Court of Appeals dominated that the 5th Amendment does not apply to tax returns.
Your lordships should look hardships in the face reasonably than break down the foundations of law. The law does not consist particularly cases, although it's defined by explicit instances and rules, however the law consists of principles, which govern specific and particular person circumstances, as they happen to arise. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our nation when at risk, are of upper obligation.

Engage With SIF
Invest With SIF
Salmon Innovation Fund
Investing in early stage, scalable technologies that increase wild Pacific Salmon and Steelhead populations and/or resilience
Salmon Innovation Fund (SIF) is an early stage technology investment fund.
Our partners are the hundreds of organizations working to protect or rebuild wild Pacific salmon and steelhead populations.
We receive lists of problems and challenges from our partners, find early stage technology company's working to solve these challenges or problems, and invest in these early stage company's.
We expect our portfolio company's to ultimately exit outside of the fisheries industry, allowing for competitive returns to our investors.
By pursuing things in this way:
Our partners get access to technology that greatly accelerates their existing efforts or makes possible new ways to pursue their mission;
Our technology investments get the chance to pilot their technology in a meaningful setting, and apply it to impactful environmental efforts;
Our LP's get the chance to earn competitive returns from investments that benefit salmon and steelhead conservation
Wild Pacific Salmon and Steelhead are the iconic species of the North American Pacific Rim (California to Alaska). However, stocks have been reduced to a fraction of their historical levels, and in some cases, been completely wiped out.
This decline has materially impacted economies, communities, wilderness areas, food chains, water quality, soils, and culture across the North American Pacific Rim. Perhaps most importantly, allowing this decline to continue would strip us of a species that in many ways defines who we are as stewards of this unique part of the world.
Salmon Innovation Fund was created to provide the hundreds of organizations working to save these species with access to cutting edge technologies that make their efforts easier, cheaper, broader and more effective.
Our goal is simple…by arming these organizations with the best tools possible, we aim to increase populations where they are threatened (mostly lower 48) and increase resilience among those populations that so far have avoided large declines
(mostly Canada and Alaska.)
Ultimately, we live by the motto "more wild fish in more places"
There are two ways to engage with SIF.
Becoming a SIF Partner is free to any organization whose goals align with ours, and requires no commitment. Simply fill out the form below and list the problem or challenge you are facing. If we can identify and invest in a technology that will help you solve your challenge, we will. If not, we maintain relationships with a global network of foundations, government agencies, investors and entrepreneurs who may be able to help.
Suggest An Investment
If you are a company whose technology may solve a challenge being faced by wild Pacific Salmon or Steelhead, or if you know of such a company, please let us know by filling out the form below. If you can attached a one page overview or Powerpoint, that really helps.
We have over 100 "partners" and counting, organizations we interact with related to our mission. Below are some examples. We applaud and support the efforts of any organization working towards increasing the population and resilience of wild Pacific salmon and steelhead throughout the North American Pacific Rim.
Syndicate Investments
SIF syndicate investments were created to allow individual investors to invest alongside Salmon Innovation Fund in early stage company's. SIF has evaluated and invested in each company offered for syndication, and each company aligns with SIF's mission of supporting wild Pacific salmon and steelhead conservation. You will have access to a summary report of SIF's due diligence, and will receive quarterly updates on your syndicate investments.
Current Syndicate Investments Opportunities:
SIF Syndicate Terms
Investment Minimum: Depends on syndicate, but usually $5,000-10,000
Can accept funds from a "Self Directed" IRA
Must be an "Accredited Investor" based on US standards ($200,000 annual income for past two years if single/$300,000 if married or Net Worth greater that $1,000,000 excluding the value of your primary residence)
Each syndicate is its own unique entity
75/25% split of proceeds after 100% return of capital to syndicate investors
All SIF syndicate investments have $100,000 minimums in the aggregate. If syndicate minimum is not reached, capital will be returned.
Syndicates represent a passive ownership interest in a special purpose fund as opposed to a direct equity interest in the company, with SIF managing the special purpose fund and handling all company

Historic Jefferson College to host snake lecture Wednesday
By Michael Kerekes
Published 12:50 am Sunday, July 18, 2010
NATCHEZ — Historic Jefferson College Branch Director Robin Person would like to get children educated about snakes while they're young.
That way there's a chance they won't grow up to be so afraid of them.
Because of this, Person hopes that plenty of young people choose to spend part of their afternoon at a snake lecture the college is hosting Wednesday.
"(The lecture) isn't particularly aimed at any certain age group, but we'd like plenty of children to come out," Person said.
"The fear of snakes is not something we're born with — it's taught to you by someone. By teaching kid early how beneficial snakes can be, it can maybe keep the fear out later in life.
"The more you learn about something, the less likely you are to fear it."
Bryan Fedrick, herpetologist for the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, will be giving the lecture, Person said.
"He'll be talking about Mississippi snakes and how to tell the difference between venomous and non-venomous ones," Person said.
"You won't hear anything about cobras, but you will probably hear something about copperheads."
With it being summer, Person said the ability to correctly identify snakes and knowing what to do when you see one is especially important.
"You have a very good chance of seeing a snake if you go outside in Mississippi. We want people to be educated about which ones could be dangerous, as well as try and encourage people not to kill them, but learn more about them," she said.
"We have a nature trail out here that we encourage people to use, and it's not unlikely that you might see a snake out there. People will also run into them in their yard or garden, and too many people say they're afraid of them, but they're such a help to our homes.
"Obviously, you don't want one living in your home, but they keep things like rats and mice at bay that would normally eat our food or destroy our stuff."
And the lecture will consist of live exhibits, Person added.
"(Fedrick) usually brings a variety of snakes, and I also have three snakes of my own that live in my office, in cages. We use them for educational programs too," Person said.
"We hope a lot of people come out, and we'd like to really encourage people to call us or e-mail us and let us know they're coming. That way, we can get a sense of what the number (of people) will be."
Person can be reached at 601-442-2901, or by e-mail at rsperson@cableone.net.

One of the quickest and most inexpensive ways to update and personalise your look is with accessories. A plain white shirt looks very different when worn with a strand of simple pearls, a chunky necklace of ethnic wooden beads, with glass beads in different colours or with different coloured scarves. The combinations are almost endless even though you're still just accessorising one basic item of clothing.
The look of any of the basic pieces from your Core Wardrobe Plan (see April article) such as a khaki, cream or brown T-shirt can be changed by the addition of scarves, cardigans, jackets or necklaces in different colours. And, as you now know, you can wear almost any bright colour with these neutral shades – so try adding red, pink, rust, yellow, green, blue, navy, turquoise, violet or fuchsia in scarves or necklaces to these basics and you will be expanding your wardrobe easily and with great effect.
Accessories are widely available and, when you really start looking consciously, you'll find that you're spoilt for choice! Almost all clothing stores have a range of accessories and there are many interesting stores that stock accessories exclusively. Once you've gathered the main clothing items of your Core Wardobe Plan, and played and experimented with them to see which combinations you can put together, you'll know more what you're looking for and it will be easier for you to choose from the huge variety of accessories on offer.
Most of us are shopping in the familiar chain-stores for basic items of clothing, so we all have similar shirts, tops, trousers and jackets in the classic colours in our wardrobes. How we personalise these basic pieces and make them our own is where accessories and the True Self Style Words© (see February article) come in. Your True Self Style Words© give you more clarity about yourself and your individual personality, so it's that much easier to know which accessories will express this. Keep a look-out for pieces that resonate to your personality, lifestyle and your individual design proportions.
For example, if you're delicate of form, choose delicate accessories that don't overwhelm you such as light chains, bracelets, rings and/or earrings, but if you're larger and more dramatic, choose accessories which reflect this. Keep everything in harmony with what you know about yourself.
Your accessories should also be appropriate for your lifestyle and surroundings so avoid wearing noisy, jangly jewellery if you're in a crowded office as it can be distracting for others while you work on your computer, answer your phone and move around. I remembered this recently when I was conducting a workshop and I noticed that the two wooden bangles I was wearing knocked together every time I moved my arm, irritating me and, I'm sure, the delegates in the room. I removed one of them and it was quieter!
Unless your True Self Style Words include Extravagant, Dramatic, Flashy or Diva (in which case the following doesn't apply to you that much!), it's usually true that 'less is more'. I have some much-loved earrings which are so over-the-top that I can only wear them with neutral clothes that don't compete with them! If you're wearing a large 'statement' necklace, you may not need dramatic earrings as well, though a large bracelet may work, as it is further away. A silk flower pinned to your jacket or shirt will usually make a sufficient statement so that you don't need a showpiece necklace or big earrings too.
Accessories are the finishing touches so use them to express your mood. If you have space, put them out where you can see them as it's easier to create new combinations in your outfits when you can see what you have. Hang belts on tie racks and try putting hooks into a pin-board to hang up your necklaces, earrings and scarves. Look for original ways to display your accessories such as colourful scarves hung over a ladder or bracelets and rings hanging from a mug stand.
In this way, you'll be more likely to wear your accessories – it's really worth it.

[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3″][vc_column_text]Learning more about seeing colour and using it creatively is an effective way to expand how you see and experience the world around you. We all have great capacity within us which isn't always used to its full potential, and developing your sense of colour is an easy and wonderful way to open up new aspects of yourself – and your wardrobe.
I learned a very interesting lesson when I took adult painting classes from a particularly gifted teacher and she changed forever how I look at things. In one of my early classes I was painting a tree and was doing it almost on autopilot. I wasn't really looking at the tree but just painting what I expected to see, what I thought a tree trunk looked like from memory. I was using brown paint for the tree trunk because that was the colour that I assumed a tree trunk was. But my teacher stopped me and guided me to focus on the tree trunk and really look at it. And when I did this, I noticed that it did have brown in it, but that it also had some cream, grey, olive green and, in places, a very pale apricot. This was a revelation to me and I have never looked back!
I now see colour everywhere. When travelling I drink in the colours of the landscape, the sky, the trees and even the grasses next to the road. In the winter months, if I look carefully, I can usually find traces of lilac, pink and grey in amongst the pale wheaten colour. The blazing red of berries against the emerald green of summer leaves or the clear orange of clementines in a blue and white bowl are all inspiration for combinations of colour in paintings – or in clothes.
Once you really start to see and use colour, your wardrobe will never be the same again. Nature is the perfect guide and inspiration for putting combinations of colours together, so start retraining yourself to see what is around you and to apply it in creative outfits. Observing how nature uses colour can trigger your own innate creativity and make a true artist of you.
Be inspired by the juxtaposition of the vivid fuchsia of a bougainvillea blossom with its creamy grey branch and clear green leaves, and then translate this into an outfit by adding accessories of pink or green (or both, in a pattern) to a pale grey jacket or top, or a cream jacket or top.
Notice how the aqua of the sea meets the cool blue of the sky and combine these colours in your clothes. Look for a scarf or necklace in aqua and cool blue and wear it with a white T-shirt and jeans, a creamy dress or top, or something which is the colour of beach sand.
Appreciating the majesty of a sky at sunset disproves any old ideas that pink and yellow, red and orange 'don't match'. If you don't enjoy vibrant colours, try wearing them in paler versions, such as pastel pink with apricot and soft yellow or pale lilac. Let nature in all its magnificence be your guide and inspiration – it is an endless source of Beauty.
Try to avoid wearing colours that are 'dirty', as they can make you look drained. You will know that you're wearing colours which are not flattering for you when people keep asking you if you are tired or not feeling well when you feel fine! 'Dirty' colours are those that have some grey or black mixed in with them which make them hard to describe. If you find yourself saying a colour is a 'sort of greeny-brown' or 'pinky-grey', it's likely to be 'dirty'. Clear, clean colours are most flattering to all skin tones. Even a chocolate brown, khaki or grey colour needs to be a 'clean' brown, khaki or grey.
Here in the southern hemisphere, as winter starts to creep up on us, we tend to start wearing more and more dark, sombre colours which can make us feel weighed down. If you add touches of bright colour in the form of scarves, handbags and cardigans to your blacks and greys, you'll notice how this lifts your spirits and warms you up!
The February article in Women's Choice 'Your True Self Style Words© – Becoming an Expert on Yourself' is now available online and you may enjoy finding your own True Self Style Words© as this is the first step to putting together a personal style that's natural, comfortable and authentic for you. It's also a really good way to get to know yourself better which makes decision-making in other areas of your life easier. When you're clearer about who you are and what you really need, you'll find it a whole lot simpler to clear out your wardrobe, choose an exercise system that's right for you or even to decide on the sort of relationships that fulfil you the most.
And if you missed the introductory article in the January issue, 'The Promise of a New Year: Transforming Yourself Inside and Out in 2012', it's on pages 47 – 49. The interview with me is on pages 27-33.
[vc_row][vc_column width="1/2″][vc_column_text]Two of the most important questions you can ever ask yourself are 'Who am I?' and 'What is the purpose of my life?' Reflecting on these questions and finding answers to them is the starting point for self-awareness and the foundation of a life of self-esteem, meaning and productivity. The process of making sense of these questions is the journey of a lifetime and one which will always call you back to your true Self. Regularly reflecting on your unique design and the purpose for which you've been called into being will keep you focused and help you to use your life as consciously as possible.
Your life is a precious gift that should not to be taken lightly. Getting to know yourself and who you're here to become is the main responsibility as well as the greatest privilege of your life. Remember that, no matter how many people have lived on earth before you and no matter how many will live after you, there will never again, ever, be anyone just like you. You and your life are as unique as your fingerprints.
The implications of your unique life and purpose are that only you can make your particular contribution to the world. You are perfectly designed to be who you are and to do all that you need to do. It may appear that others are smarter or quicker or louder (or whatever) than you but nobody else is better equipped than you to live your own life and to manifest your particular attributes and talents. Your life is your particular assignment and you need to use all your energy and attention to live this as best as you can.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2″][vc_column_text]It therefore follows that if you get distracted by what other people are doing and copying others' opinions and values and beliefs without thinking for yourself and deciding what is right and meaningful for you, you could miss the whole purpose of your own life.
Imitating others instead of living your own authentic life is one of the reasons that so many people feel empty, lonely, unfulfilled and purposeless. They feel they lack self-esteem because they haven't yet understood what the 'Self' in 'self-esteem' means. By reflecting on the questions: 'Who am I?' and 'What is the purpose of my life?' you'll be able to build a life of satisfaction, meaning and joy.
Shopping Consciously – Not As A Hobby!
Even if you fall somewhere in-between these extremes, it's always helpful to be conscious of how you spend money and shop for clothes, because this is a highly charged area for many women. Whether you're shopping too much or too little can give you lots of insights into yourself and your self-esteem.
Because most of us don't know how to shop, we get overwhelmed and sidetracked by the wide range of what's available and therefore come back from a shopping trip with a new bikini and a ball gown when we actually needed a white T-shirt, a jacket in a Classic Colour, red sandals and silver bracelets.
Conscious shopping is different from what you may be used to but give this system a try and you'll reap the benefits!
Few of us have time in the morning to take lots of things off a hanger to get to what's underneath or to go through countless T-shirts or jerseys to find what we want or to have to iron things which have been crushed together. When there's order in your wardrobe, you'll have more order in your life and therefore more time and energy available to function fully.
By letting go of all that's outworn and outgrown, in all areas of your life, you open up space for new attitudes, ideas, friends and opportunities, as well as new, perfect-for-you clothes, to flow into your life. Outdated clothes that aren't right for you make you look and feel outdated and can keep you stuck in a rut of old beliefs and habits.
Getting rid of clothes you don't need any more is liberating and uplifting, but it can be quite scary and emotional. Your clothes are associated with happy and sad times, with when you've been slimmer or heavier and they also represent money you've spent and often feel guilty about, but it's pointless to keep clothes you never wear just because they were expensive. Holding on won't get your money back!
While it may appear that we have more and more choice in our lives, it seems that the opposite is true. It's quite common for people to watch the same television programmes and movies, read the same popular books, listen to the similar opinions expressed on the radio and gravitate towards restaurants where the current trendy foods are. This pattern can be seen with clothes too because, though there's a wide choice available, we're generally influenced about what to wear by media articles and programmes on the fashionable looks of the season. 'What's in and what's out' and what we 'must-have now' are common slogans.
With all of these influences, we tend to conform more and more without paying attention to what we really like or what actually looks good on us. But much of what's current and popular may not even suit us, our lifestyle or our individual proportions. By trying to keep up with fashion and fit in with popular trends, we may lose out on finding a unique personal style that expresses our true self.
If you struggle to find a personal 'look' and end up copying other people or unconsciously following fashion, it may be because you're trying to be someone you're not really designed to be. You are as unique as your fingerprints and this should be expressed in all the choices you make in your life – including your clothes.
This isn't always easy, though, when you've become used to being like everyone else in order to feel accepted. It takes courage to step back and take a look at who you really are and what you really like and what you really want from your life. Getting to know ourselves is one of the greatest privileges that we have and it ensures that we live our lives to the fullest.
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3″][vc_column_text]In order to make the most of your life, you need to know and understand your true self and unique life purpose. Once you're more aware of who you really are, independent of what you've been conditioned to believe about yourself, you can be more conscious, focused, effective and fulfilled.
Reflecting on who you are and who you're here to become adds a deeper dimension to all that you do. Remember that never before has anyone existed who is exactly like you and never again will there be anyone exactly like you. You are as unique as your fingerprints and this should be reflected in the decisions you make about how you work, relax, choose your partner and friends, exercise, dress and decorate your home. It's only when you know yourself better that you'll be able to know what you need – and be able to get those needs met.
As a unique soul, you automatically have a unique purpose which is attached to your life and it's your privilege and responsibility to discover what this is. It's important that you do this because if you don't become who you're designed to become and manifest your innate potential, then no-one else can do this for you. Only you can embody your own mission so if you don't take responsibility for this, then your unique contribution is lost to the world.
Part of your individual spiritual blueprint is the attributes, talents and qualities which have been placed within you as resources to enable you to fulfill your potential. These qualities are in a particular combination which is unique to you and they are gifts from the Creator. While other people may also have attributes of kind-heartedness, courage, humour, quirkiness, caring, reasoning ability or any of the other myriad attributes which are on loan to us from the Creator, your specific combination is unique to you, which is why it's so important that you become aware of what your gifts are so that you can embody and express them in all aspects of your life.

You have within you enormous innate potential which it is your privilege – and also your responsibility – to discover, and then manifest throughout the course of your life. You are as unique as your fingerprints and you have a particular life purpose which it is yours alone to embody and live to the fullest. It's important to do this because if you don't use your individual gifts and attributes, there is no-one else who can give your particular gifts to the world.
Coming to know yourself and to live your own purpose is a priceless privilege and makes your life feel meaningful and fulfilling. You inevitably feel more alive, purposeful, joyful and productive. You're better able to make decisions and to attract more compatible people and opportunities. For all these reasons – and many more – having someone to support, encourage and keep you focused is very helpful.
What most people really want when they consult a Life Coach, Therapist or Counsellor is a good friend, someone who truly sees them, validates them and who wants only the best for them. A true Life Coach is like a best Friend who genuinely cares for you, has no hidden agenda and who acts as a wise and loving sounding-board for you to clear whatever is holding you back from living your best life.

It became the band's last recording. They performed their final show on 28 January 2017.

World Cup: Belgium thrashes Panama in 3-0 victory
By Jordan Jones • Updated: 18/06/2018
Copyright REUTERS/Hannah McKay
Belgium shook off first-half nerves to record a comfortable 3-0 victory over World Cup debutants Panama, in their opening group game.
They opened the scoring early on in the second half when Panama failed to clear a cross. The ball fell to Dries Mertens who powered in a volley past Penedo.
The Panama players were forced to give away a number of free-kicks, resulting in numerous yellow cards as they tried to stop the threat of Belgium.
Thibaut Courtois saved Michael Murillo's shot, after the Panama full-back had found space to pull a shot away. It was their only real chance of the game.
The Red Devils doubled their lead when Romelu Lukaku scored his 37th goal for Belgium, after heading in from Kevin De Bruyne's superb cross.
He then doubled his tally when he cheekily dinked the ball over Penedo, for Belgium's third.
Fidel Escobar almost grabbed a goal back for Panama, but his free-kick was saved by Courtois.
Panama's Roman Torres almost gifted Belgium their opener as his under-hit pass fell to Eden Hazard, who could only hit the side netting from a tight angle.
Torres made amends when he made a goal-saving tackle to deny Romelu Lukaku.
Panama's only real chance was when Brandon Cooper blazed his shot over the bar, after a neat passage of play.
The Red Devils were in complete control but were lacking in the final third despite all the world-class players in their squad.
Here are five key takeaways from the match:
Passionate Panama fans
Fans who have travelled 7.6 thousand miles to be there cheered every single touch that a Panama player had. It's their first time in the World Cup and they were clearly enjoying it. They added the South American samba to the atmosphere and the stadium was full of colour as they showed off the Panama flag.
Mertens looks
With all the attacking options that Belgium had, it was Dries Mertens who had all the chances. He built up a good partnership with Kevin De Bruyne, who fed the Napoli frontman on a number of occasions.
Physical Panama
Panama picked up no fewer than five yellow cars as they tried to deal with the threat of Belgium. In doing so, they made a number of fouls. This was one of the hardest tests for Panama but they must be careful that discipline isn't a problem in their remaining group matches.
De Bruyne masterclass
Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne put on a performance that those in the Premier League have been accustomed to this season. His neat passing and his ability to find his teammates was a joy to watch for the spectators.
Lukaku shines
A brace for Romelu Lukaku, albeit against a tiring Panama side, highlighted how hungry he was to make an impact for Belgium. The man who has lead the line for The Red Devils, grabbed his 37th and 38th goal as he put them on their way to victory. Both goals highlighting his physical power as well as his technical ability.
