Mademoiselle Azzaro EDT | Review
Newly launching this Summer is the latest fragrance from Azzaro Paris; Mademoiselle Azzaro L'eau Tres Belle, a violet-macaroon base, bursting with blueberry and jasmine.
Before you try that though, I have the original Mademoiselle Azzaro* eau de toilette to show you, and it is a beaut.
Designed to make you think of Paris with every spritz, this is a floral, elegant scent, housed in the prettiest bottle.
Would you look at the bow!!
This is for sure aimed at a younger market than myself (you can picture me wrapping a shawl around myself now if that helps), as it features notes like mandarin blossoms and peach but then it adds in some subtle accords like iris wood and syringa flowers that balance it to ultimately leave an impression that's quite sophisticated.
Bottom line; It's sweet, floral and fruity but with an underlying warmth that makes it last well on the skin.
If you're a fan of Miss Dior/Miss Dior Cherie, Marc Jacob's Honey or Dolce & Gabbana's The One, then I think you'll like this.
This comes in a 30 ml (€48) and 50ml (€68) size, and is available in Arnotts, Debenhams and selected pharmacies nationwide.
If you like this version already and are looking to try Mademoiselle's even more romantic Parisian sibling, L'eau Tres Belle is also now available.

Recently Read: March.
I know, this is good and late but here we are. I didn't get through as many books as usual in March because one in particular completely monopolised my time. Helter Skelter, while interesting in parts, took ages to get through.
Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi
This is the very detailed account of the Charles Manson murders of actress Sharon Tate and four others at her LA home in 1969. The book relays the lengthy investigation that led to the arrest of most of the Manson "family" and the subsequent trial. As it's written by Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecutor in Manson's trial, there's a huge amount of legal details in there that I really felt I had to wade through. That took away from the overall story for me, which I've always found intriguing and in fairness, the sections of the book that focus on the cult itself and Manson's background were engrossing, I just felt that other parts of the book could have easily been shortened without detracting from the essence of the book. If you're a fellow fan of true crime you'll enjoy this anyway, or if you're just interested in reading up on a historical event you'll also appreciate Helter Skelter. For me, this was one of the most fascinating parts of this book- I felt like I was fully immersed in the atmosphere of the time.
The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman
This is the prequel to Practical Magic, which I just read in January of this year and loved. Set in 1960's New York, it brings us back to Franny and Jet's (the Owen's sisters aunts in PM) teenage years, along with their charismatic brother Vincent. Their mother Susanna has set down certain rules for them that they have to live by; no wearing black, no candles, no magic books, no walking in the moonlight and most importantly; no falling in love. If an Owens falls in love, a family curse set in 1620 means that harm will come to their beloved so all three valiantly try to avoid love but soon realise they can't escape it forever. I really love the way Alice Hoffman writes and especially how she immerses the reader in this world of magic, which is so different from anything else I've read. I loved both The Rules of Magic and Practical Magic and I don't think you need to have read one before the other to enjoy them. I'd recommend both of them!
The New Mrs Clifton by Elizabeth Buchan
Set just after WW2, British Intelligence Officer Gus Clifton arrive home to London to his two sisters with his new wife in tow, Krista, a German woman he married in secret. Krista has been broken by the war; she's malnourished and unwell but is also traumatised by the horrors inflicted upon her. Her relationship with Gus is strained and his sisters cannot understand why he married her in the first place. Their bitterness over the war and prejudice against the Germans doesn't help. Gus has also deeply disappointed his originally intended wife, Nella, who lives nearby, and her brother who now holds a grudge against Gus, who he plans to get revenge on. Both of Gus's sisters are struggling to cope with what they had to do to survive the war, Tilly in particular is very much on the edge. Full of dark secrets and betrayals, this is a really good angle on WW2 that I've never really come across before. Well worth a read.
The Woman In The Window by A.J. Finn
This is one of those thrillers that gets the "for fans of Gone Girl and Girl On The Train" written on the front of it. As with most of this genre of books, the connection there is the psychological thriller, massive twist and "difficult female protagonist".
Anna Fox is an agoraphobic psychologist and mother of one. Something catastrophic happened to her six months ago that's left her unable to leave her home. She has figured out how to survive in her current predicament; she sees a therapist online, she has a downstairs tenant that doubles up as a handyman and for entertainment, she drinks wine and watches her neighbours.
She's particularly interested in the new family that have moved in across the road and so starts watching them intently, that is until she sees something she shouldn't have.
This leads to Anna questioning everything she believes to be true, including her own mental faculties. Anna is your classic unreliable narrator so I also questioned everything she said and did but that aside, she's a difficult character to spend an entire novel with.
Like the protagonist in Girl On The Train, Anna has an alcohol dependency problem and so I spent a lot of the book telling her to "stop doing that!!". It's frustrating but real life is like that, I guess.
One thing I would say is there's two fairly major twists (as there is with all of these sorts of books) which I had guessed well in advance. The clues are there and are easy enough to spot, if you're looking out for them.
Overall, I liked the undertones of film noir and Alfred Hitchcock throughout this book but I felt it was drawn out and somewhat lacking nonetheless.
Almost Love by Louise O' Neill
Practically known now for her "unlikeable characters", Louis O'Neill has created perhaps the most unpleasant female protagonist of all with Sarah, a young art teacher living in Dublin, sacrificing everyone else in her life for the man twenty years her senior she is seeing. Sarah hopes Matthew will realise some day that he in fact loves her and can't be without her but that seems extremely unlikely to even the most casual observer; Matthew is married, is a narcissist and uses Sarah for grotty sex in a grotty hotel room. But, and here's the catch, he does tell her from the start that he doesn't want a relationship. That doesn't and can't excuse his behaviour but still, Sarah plays a part in her own undoing, something you couldn't have said about Emma in Asking For It or Frieda in Only Ever Yours (O'Neill's two previous books).
This, if anything makes Almost Love more thought provoking. A common cry after reading this book has been "God, I wish I could go back and give this to my teenage self", such is the recognisable and clumsy attempts at love from a young woman trying for a breezy "oh I don't want a relationship, I'm a cool, easy going girl, just like a guy really", of her actions and words.
The storyline is non-linear; we get flashbacks to when Sarah was in art college and first meets Matthew, very much at the expense of her best friend Fionn, right up to the present time, where she is in a relationship with a new man, Oisín. Sarah can't seem to get any element of her life right and you could say she's her own worst enemy, but equally she's a painfully damaged character, with a sad past. My feelings for Sarah are so complicated; she's difficult and extremely unlikeable but also, she really needs help. At times, I wanted to slap her, other times I wanted to reach in and hug her and give her the name of a good therapist.
I still don't know how I really feel about Almost Love, but I can say it's an addictive read (I finished it in an evening) and it certainly got me thinking. Thinking about my own behaviour when I was younger, about the expectations and the roles placed on women by society and about the different types of love.
A difficult book to read at times but without a doubt, it's an unflinching look at obsessive love and quite unlike any other book on the market right now.
Have you read any of these?
Hi there! You may still be pondering how you plan to vote in the upcoming referendum to repeal the 8th amendment of the constitution and I am here to tell you why you should vote YES. As the title of the article would suggest, I am a midwife and a nurse and have a whole wealth of knowledge and experience that means I am qualified to speak on the subject of women's health, as well as having my own personal opinions on the matter.
You may have read plenty on this being a "divisive issue"and that both sides are "as bad as each other" but there are some really basic facts here that are unavoidable and that don't involve convoluted and intentionally confusing and emotive language.
The 8th amendment is about more than just abortion. Women's health is hampered by this law that equates the life of a woman to that of an embryo or a foetus. This is both bad medicine and bad law. Doctors and midwives are forced to withdraw certain care based on this amendment- women who may need scans, analgesia, antibiotics, anti-psychotic medication, radiotherapy, surgery etc. cannot be treated properly because of this law. Non-pregnant you gets emergency treatment in the case of sepsis, a mental health emergency, the flu, a cancer diagnosis etc. Pregnant you will be assessed but if your treatment is deemed in any way teratogenic (harmful to the foetus), you'll have to wait until you've given birth. By which time, your condition may not even be treatable anymore. Doctors can intervene and terminate a pregnancy if and only if the mother's life is deemed at immediate risk but as has become painfully obvious over recent years, there's no hard and fast rule that tells doctors exactly when to intervene. Each individual case is different and being forced to make complex medical decisions under the weight of potential legal retribution while trying to save a life is terrible medical practice. Women's lives are forfeited for that of a potential life- picture your sister, friend, colleague, classmate, cousin, mother or yourself. Picture your grown-up, adult life with all of your hopes, plans, likes, dislikes, favourite songs, memories, quirks, responsibilities, loves and losses and now compare that to an embryo that has just the potential to have your full life. The two should not be on an equal footing. Women deserve better.
So it's not just about abortion, it's about overall healthcare but it is also about abortion. This part is a contentious issue for a lot of people but abortion is a medical procedure, it has by its very nature accumulated an added moral weight but as a health care professional, if this is a medical procedure that a woman needs, as decided by her and her doctor, then that's the best course of action. You'll have by now have heard of the so called "difficult cases" associated with abortion; rape/incest, a diagnosis of a fatal foetal abnormality and in cases where the mother's life is at risk but abortion also is a necessity for women who have social, mental, emotional, fiscal and physical reasons why they can't continue a pregnancy. Women do not use abortion as a form of contraception. This is a fallacy created to paint women as flighty, fickle creatures when the reality is abortion is not something any woman truly wants- the same way I never want to have back surgery again (and didn't want it in the first place) but am grateful that it exists because I so badly needed it when I slipped a disc that time.
We need to trust women. As a country we have an appalling track record when it comes to how we treat women and girls. Mother and Baby homes, forced adoption, forced c-sections, forced episiotomies, forced symphisiotomies, women working in the public sector forced to give up their jobs upon marriage up until the year 1973, "churching women" (the church making women "clean" after the birth of a baby) up until the year 1967 (if not later), contraception illegal until the year 1980 (with restrictions), marital rape legal until the year 1990, the morning after pill only legalised in 2003 (and only available without a prescription in 2011), the gender pay gap (still a thing and still increasing, as per the most recent CSO figures), a ban on women priests (still a thing), and then of course all of the victims of the 8th amendment; Savita Halappanavar, Miss X, Miss Y, Miss P, the C Case, Ann Lovett, Amanda Mellet, Michelle Harte, and Sheila Rodgers, to name but a very few. Let me make it abundantly clear here; we are in violation of women's human rights as per the World Health Organisation, the European Court of Human Rights, the United Nations Human Rights Committee and Amnesty International. A reminder that women's rights are human rights, as Hillary Rodham Clinton once (many times) said.
You might then be wondering about the planned legislation for providing unrestricted abortion access up to 12 weeks gestation. There's a couple of reasons for this that I can see. Firstly, a foetus is not viable outside of the uterus until 23/24 weeks. If a miscarriage occurs, it more than likely will occur in the the first trimester (which is the first 12 weeks but actually that translates to ten weeks in reality; your estimated due date is based on the first date of your last monthly period and conception takes place two weeks after that date, hence 10 weeks). The Oireachtas Committee on the 8th amendment was particularly clear that this 12 week mark was important for cases where rape has occurred- it would be virtually impossible to legislate for women to choose abortion in this situation if there was a restriction in place based on a trial outcome or on an ongoing police investigation. In these circumstances, time is of the essence and our court system is notoriously difficult for victims of rape to navigate. Lastly, medical abortion requires pills to be taken only up to 12 weeks. As women are already illegally obtaining abortion pills up to 12 weeks without medical supervision, it could only become safer to legally provide for medical abortion in these circumstances with GP supervision.
Lastly then, and trust, I could go on all night about this, if you don't want an abortion, don't have one. That old chestnut. It's true though; abortions will continue to happen if you vote no. They will continue to happen if the 8th is not repealed. Women's lives will continue to be put at risk with illegal, unsafe and non-medically supervised terminations. Women will still be forced to travel to the UK and other countries to receive compassionate reproductive healthcare that they should be receiving at home, provided by their own doctor and surrounded by their loved ones, if they so wish. Close to their own home and their own bed with no terrifying taxi and plane journey to get through, risking bleeding out or blacking out from pain and blood loss. There's a pro-choice slogan of "stop punishing tragedy" and it makes me well up every time I hear it. I'm angry and personally devastated that we have sent so many women in need away from us when we should have been looking after them here. I want to put right that terrible wrong.
Abortion will happen anyway. The 8th amendment was a bad law in 1983 and it's a bad law now in 2018. Please vote YES on the 25th of May and allow us to look after the women of this country with the care and dignity they deserve.

Lives Forever Destroyed in Taiji
Home/Blog/Japan/Lives Forever Destroyed in Taiji
Blog, Japan	| Posts by : Cynthia Fernandez
During the early morning of Thursday, November 19, my fellow cove monitor, Vicki Kiely and I followed our usual routine of monitoring the dolphin hunting boats of Taiji. It was a nice day, and the hunters were out searching for dolphins. After a few hours of waiting, we saw the dreaded drive formation. The boats were fanned out and slowly moving towards the Cove. We watched as the drive broke into two, separate drives. Moving closer towards us, we tried to identify the species. I could see roundish, blunt heads." ~ Cynthia Fernandez, Dolphin Project Senior Cove Monitor
I immediately thought they might be Risso's dolphins as they are the most commonly found species in November. I've been to Taiji for four years now, and I've seen more than my share of slaughters. While all are horrific, I was most affected by the slaughter of a pilot whale family that I witnessed two years ago. Since then, I've hoped and prayed never to see another slaughter of any type again, with the pilot whales continuing to hold a special place in my heart. I think I was in denial that day, that it might be pilot whales. As the drive moved nearer, Vicki and I took enlarged the photos we took, and my worst fears were confirmed: pilot whales had been found.

As the pilot whales were netted in the Cove, the familiar spy-hopping began. The family huddled tightly together, exhausted and terrified. I had seen this before, a visual burned forever into my mind. They were attempting to figure out what was happening – why they were trapped in this little area, netted for the very, first time in their lives. The family was huge, consisting of pilot whales of all ages. I could see the tiny fins of young juveniles, all the way up to 25 foot long males. There seemed to be many young dolphins in this 60+ member family. I was devastated, as I knew what was in store for them.
After the several hours long drive, with all the pilot whales netted securely to prevent escape, the hunters left for the day. The family huddled together at the outer nets. The matriarch could be seen swimming in circles around the young ones, often on her back, gently touching them with her fins. It was heartbreaking. I will never forget their sweet faces bobbing up and down in the water, with a heart-shaped design they carry on their chests. This was the last night they would be together, a night consisting of fear, confusion and no food.
Early in the morning, Vicki and I trudged up the dreaded hill which provides a view into the cove. The horror began the moment the hunters arrived. They immediately started to herd the family towards the kill area, hidden from view by a series of tarps. It was a fierce struggle, given there were so many pilot whales, and a large group managed to break free, swimming to the outer cove. The rest of the pod were pushed into shallow water. It was during this traumatic and graphic struggle for life that the dolphins' devotion to one another became crystal clear.
As one young pilot was selected for captivity, I saw something I had never seen before. Some of the pilot whales began to fight for their family member, ramming the divers with their heads as the netted dolphin was tied to the side of a skiff. I watched as divers pushed the heads of their 'attackers' under the surface of the water to protect themselves. These large mammals could have injured or even killed the divers if they had chosen, but they lost the battle, and the animal was taken away." ~ Cynthia Fernandez, Dolphin Project Senior Cove Monitor
Terrified pilot whales entangled in nets, Taiji, Japan
A large pilot whale had become trapped in the nets while trying to escape. Many family members gathered around it, seemingly trying to help, and another adult became entangled. I watched helplessly as a large male pilot had a rope tied to his flukes and was pulled backwards under the tarps to his death. As each of the larger dolphins were pulled under the tarps, the water began to turn a nauseating, reddish brown color. Witnessing the dolphins struggle for a breath of air, struggle for their very lives and yet, being unable to do anything other than document was one of the most painful and frustrating moments of my life. And then, the killing stopped for the day as it was time to transfer the dead to the butcher house. The surviving pilot whales could have returned to the outer net area, as far away from the slaughter as possible, but, as I'd seen two years ago they stayed in the killing area, practically swimming under the tarps searching for lost family members. Eventually, the hunters pushed them towards the outer cove so they could transfer the lifeless bodies.
The remaining pilot whales huddled together. Again, the matriarch circled and tried to comfort the young. This time I could see the very young calves rubbing against her as though seeking comfort from the horror they had just experienced. I wondered what she was communicating to them? The hunters dragged body after body out from under the tarps, right past the surviving family members. After their 'work' was done for the day, the survivors were left alone for another night filled with terror and still no food or water (pilot whales get their water from their food).
Unfortunately, that afternoon I had to say goodbye to Vicki, as her time at Taiji was done. As much as I hated to see her go, I was relieved she wouldn't have to witness the rest of this tragedy. Sleep was hard to come by, with visions of the horrors still fresh in my mind. I knew the next morning would bring more of the same to the tortured pilot whales.
The next day was a repeat of the last, as more adult pilot whales were rounded up for the kill, the survivors battered and bloody from their struggles. I could see skiffs turn their engines around and plow straight into the dolphins. I watched as hunters manhandled them, pushing some underwater to move them out of the way while they searched for larger adults to kill.
I remember a small calf, its sweet face covered in blood. So much heartbreak.
When the killing was done, I noticed the matriarch was still alive. Again, she tried to comfort the remaining family members. While contemplating what had just unfolded, I heard a strange bellowing sound. I looked down at the pilot whales and could see one swimming around in circles, slapping his/her body against the water. As a trained biologist, I was taught not to 'humanize' animal feelings, but there was no doubt in my mind that the poor pilot was completely overcome with grief." ~ Cynthia Fernandez, Dolphin Project Senior Cove Monitor
Pilot whales stick close together as pod members are slaughtered under tarps
After the bodies had been dragged to the butcher house, the remaining family members were left for yet another night, their torture, unimaginable.
Unbelievably, I found myself climbing up the stairs yet again on the following morning, my legs practically shaking. The killing was over quickly as there were few adults left. The matriarch who had taken care of, and comforted the young, was the first to go. I'll never forget the image of her being pulled by a rope around her flukes under the tarps to her death – another painful memory etched into my mind and soul. What remained of the pilot whale family was left alone while the hunters transferred the bodies. Again, the dolphins would not leave the killing area.
The time came for the hunters to 'release' the remaining pilot whales, whose bodies were too small to be slaughtered. It was a windy day and the sea was rough. Instead of driving the remaining family back to sea as I had seen two years ago, the hunters decided to use slings to transport the dolphins from the killing area to a banger boat, and then out to open water. But the process went terribly wrong, with another dark chapter written.
I watched as slings were tied loosely to the sides of banger boats, the helpless pilot whales repeatedly smashed into the machinery while water submerged them. I wondered if they would still be alive when they were dumped out of those slings? Some pilot whales slipped out of the slings before reaching the banger boats. I watched in horror as one pilot whale was tied by the flukes, struggling violently while hunters looked on. Slowly the struggle subsided as the dolphin drowned. Not one to miss an opportunity, hunters quickly covered its body with a tarp and transported it to the butcher house. Another pilot escaped the sling and tried to make it's way back to the Cove.
Approximately 20 pilot whales were dumped back at sea. During the last transport, a young pilot freed itself out of the sling. There was no attempt to retrieve it, and the young dolphin was left behind.

The events of these four days completely destroyed this innocent pilot whale family. The dolphins dumped at sea will likely not survive without the leadership of the matriarch, who is truly the "pilot" of the family. Perhaps somehow, a new leader emerged and was able to pilot the survivors to safety and survival. I hope the little one that was left behind somehow found it's way back to its family. I need that hope. I, myself, felt as though I had been shattered into a million pieces. However, with the help of some very special people, I am putting the pieces back together. I will be stronger than ever, and am even more inspired to see this through, to continue to fight to the end, and be a voice for the voiceless.
Update: On November 28, I noticed the pilot whale taken for captivity was not in the harbor pen. A large, black net was pulled from that pen. Was the pilot transported? Did it die? All I knew is that it was gone.

After changing their name from the New Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin signed a deal with Atlantic Records that afforded them considerable artistic freedom. Although the group were initially unpopular with critics, they achieved significant commercial success with albums such as Led Zeppelin (1969), Led Zeppelin II (1969), Led Zeppelin III (1970), Led Zeppelin IV (1971), Houses of the Holy (1973), Physical Graffiti (1975), Presence (1976) and In Through the Out Door (1979). Their fourth album, which features the song "Stairway to Heaven", is among the most popular and influential works in rock music, and it helped to secure the group's popularity.
Led Zeppelin are widely considered one of the most successful, innovative, and influential rock groups in history. They are one of the best-selling music artists in the history of audio recording; various sources estimate the group's record sales at 200 to 300 million units worldwide. With RIAA-certified sales of 111.5 million units, they are the second-best-selling band in the US. Each of their nine studio albums placed in the top 10 of the Billboard album chart and six reached the number-one spot. They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums. Rolling Stone magazine described them as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the Seventies", and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995; the museum's biography of the band states that they were "as influential" during the 1970s as the Beatles were during the 1960s.

Currently, almost every womanuses nail design. This allows women to look even more impressive and attractive. This article will tell you how to make a manicure purple. It is worth noting that this range in the new season is very fashionable. To wear a manicure with a purple lacquer can afford young and extravagant persons, as well as strict ladies, welcoming office style. Let us consider several ways how to create such a design at home.
If you follow a strict style, thenpurple manicure needs to be made monophonic. To do this, remove the extra cuticle and file the nails. After that, thoroughly degrease the plate and apply one thin coat of varnish.
To make the manicure more durable and bright,need to cover the nails a second time. Wait until the color is completely dry and apply a fixative. If you want to decorate the created manicure, you can use a purple shade a few tones lighter than the base. They need to describe the lower part of the nail as a french. Similarly, you can do with the top of the plate, highlighting the hole.
The yellow-purple manicure looks very impressive. To create an abstraction design, you will need a few toothpicks or a sewing needle.
Cover the nail with a purple lacquer.After that, wait until the color is completely dry and proceed to further design. Apply a drop of yellow varnish in the middle of the plate. Place a smaller portion of violet on top. Next, take a toothpick and paint through the various lines. This may be a spiral design, vertical or horizontal stripes. When the design of one nail is finished, proceed to the design of the next finger. Finally, apply a clear lacquer to fix.
Manicure purple does not have to bedark and gloomy. You can create a fun cover. To do this, take the appropriate shade of varnish and select several contrasting colors. Violet goes well with blue, green, yellow, silver and other colors.
Cover the plate with a violet gamut.After that, take the dots and dip it in a contrasting color. Put a few large dots on the created coating. After that, turn the dots down to work. Dip the instrument in a purple hue and place smaller circles at the points you've put. If you wish, you can perform several tiers of such design. Do not forget to put a fixative at the end of work.
Маникюр фиолетовый, выполненный в технике rubbing, looks very solemn. To do this, you will need a clear varnish and glitter purple. The shade of the bulk material can be monophonic or holographic.

Former Child Actor, Norman Golden, Sets Sights On Rap World As "Enormus"
Actor-turned-Rapper Norman "Enormus" Golden making moves for the New Year
Since his days as a child actor, starring in films like Cop And A Half alongside Burt Reynolds, Norman Golden II has been setting his sights to new heights — and new sounds.
One of his passions has always been music.
"I came from a creatively expressive family on the music side," Golden told BallerStatus.com. "I grew up with a family of singers and musicians."
It's no surprise that he has taken on the transition from actor to embrace the musical talent he has been accustomed to during his upbringing.
His first album Seeds Vol. 1 Pick of the Litter, which debuted in 2006, contains lyricist-type lines mixed in with unique hooks. Calling himself "Enormus", which alludes to his first name, he feels that this alias refers to more than just physical capacity.
"I want to be a bigger inspiration to people," Golden said. "I want to help and be a part of change."
Does he consider himself a lyricist? Well, Norman says that while he would like to write about having a good time, it's more about what he chooses to write about and how he presents it in his music.
"The power of spoken word is unbelievable," Golden said. "I do consider myself a lyricist."
Since making the leap from child actor to rapper, Norman has shared the stages with the likes of legends like Herbie Hancock, the Wu-Tang Clan, and one another composer who had worked with Miles Davis, Coltrane, and others.
Instead of hopping on any stage he can get on, Norman wants to do more meaningful shows like those.
Right now, Golden is preparing for three upcoming shows, one of them where he'd be opening for KRS-One.
As far as his days of acting goes, Norman remembers stars like Ruby Dee, Oprah, and of course, Burt Reynolds, well.
"Being able to be surrounded by legends is humbling and mind-boggling," he admits, and says he is "thankful for the opportunity."
With a TV show and a movie in the works, Golden seems to have a lot on his plate. He also happens to be a screenwriter, enabling him to come up with a TV show that will, in a way, portray his life, career transitions, and the various challenges he faced.
The movie, on the other hand, is something he describes as "a mixture of X-Men meets Robocop meets James Bond," and include a cast featuring people of color.
On the music side, as Enormus, he's currently working on a mixtape, plans to release his second album in spring or Summer of this year. As an independent artist, he has to do all the work himself.
"I'll be ready for a full-length album in 2012," he revealed.
When asked what he'd say to other aspiring artists, advice-wise, Golden says staying true to one's self is one of the most important things.
"You can do things, but never compromise who you are as an artist," he said. "And when people tell you that you can't do something, thank them and then prove them wrong."

Cheese spread is one of the most popular kinds of spreads that countless food lovers enjoy. It is used to make tasty sandwiches and it can also be a delicious spread on your bagels and other pastries. It is creamy and tasty which is surely why a ton of people eat it everyday.
While you would want to spread it on your bread, bagels, and other breakfast pastries, one place where you never want to apply cheese spread is on your beautiful carpet. Unfortunately there are many situations wherein homeowners experience mishaps in the home which cause them to get cheese spread smeared all over their carpets.
If you are facing the exact same situation at home then knowing the proper steps to take is really essential. To help you out, here are some of the simple steps that you can take to get your carpet clean and stain-free in no time.
1.	The first step is to remove as much of the cheese spread as you can out of the carpet fibers. You can do this by using a dull knife to slowly scoop up the cheese spread on the carpet. For the particles which you can no longer remove using the dull knife, use a paper towel and blot the affected area a few times.
2.	Grab some non-bleach laundry detergent and an empty container from your closet. The next step that you will need to take is to prepare a cleaning solution that will remove the ugly yellow cheese spread stain on your carpet. Mix a teaspoon of the non-bleach laundry detergent with three cups of warm water in the empty container. The laundry detergent will greatly help in removing the stain so that your carpet will be nice and clean once more. After making the cleaning solution, proceed to the next step.
3.	Apply a small amount of the cleaning solution on the stained area of the carpet and then let it stand for five minutes. Then, use a clean white cloth to gradually blot the affected area until all of the cheese spread stain is gone. It won't happen instantly so you should stay patient until all of the stain is removed.
4.	After cleaning up the cheese spread stain, the last step that you need to take is to rinse the area where the stain used to be. Pour a glass of water over the area and then dry it using clean towels or rags. This is to help protect your carpet from unwanted residue that could harm it over time.

DEATH OF COL. A.C. BROWN
Well-Known Figure in Vermont Political and Business Life
Colonel Andrew C. Brown, well known not only in his home city, Montpelier but all over the state, died yesterday at the capital of hardening of the arteries incident to old age. For a year he had been confined to the bed and had been failing all the time, remaining unconscious from last Wednesday until his death.
Andrew Chandler Brown was born in Sutton, July 10, 1828, the son of Elisha Brown and was a direct descendant in the eighth generation of Chard Brown, the first immigrant ancestor, the line of descent being Chard, John, James, Andrew, Elisha, Andrew, Elisha, and Andrew. He graduated from Newbury Seminary in 1847 and previously taught a few terms of school. He also learned the printer's trade to aid in defraying his educational expenses. From 1849 to 1851 Mr. Brown taught school in Waitsfield and among his pupils were men later distinguished in public life.
In 1851 he went to Oxford, N.H., from there to Bradford, where from 1852 until 1854 he published and edited the Northern Enquirer, devoted to the interests of the Whig party. Mr. Brown was prominent in securing the first election of Hon. Justin S. Morrill to the national House of Representatives from Vermont.
He came to Montpelier in October of 1845 and was foreman and business manager of the Vermont Watchman. Three years later he became editor of the paper and remained in that position until 1862 when he assisted in the organization of the 13th Vermont volunteer infantry, nine months' men. He was elected captain of the Montpelier company and was promoted at the organization of the regiment to lieutenant colonel.
He served until May 1863, when he resigned to accept an appointment as commissioner on the board of enrollment for the first congressional district of Vermont with headquarters at Rutland. He was honorably discharged in 1865, was a member of Brooks post, G.A.R., of Montpelier, the Vermont Loyal Legion and a former commander of the Vermont department, G.A.R., a position in which he was popular and universally loved by military men and his comrades. He was the last surviving field officer of the 13th regiment.
Mr. Brown established the first distinctive insurance agency in the city and successfully conducted it until 1889 when he placed the active management in the hands of his youngest son, Joseph G. Brown. He was an official reporter of the House of Representatives from 1865 to 1880, and a lessee of the American Bell Telephone company for the territory of central Vermont from 1880 to 1887, when he sold his interests to the Bell company.
He built up an extensive telephone plant during that period covering Washington and Lamoille counties with branches in Caledonia, Orange, Chittenden, Franklin and Orleans counties. Since 1897 he had retired from active business interests although at his office daily until a little over a year ago.
Colonel Brown was married May 1, 1851, to Lucia Almira Green of Fayston and to them were born six children, of whom four are living; Mrs. Charles Bailey, Mrs. R.F. Bliss, Rome G., an attorney in Minneapolis, and Joseph G. Brown, postmaster at Montpelier.

Great concept, allows me to automate tasks on my PC for free.
Would be great to have more cards available.
Very modern and user friendly interface that allows me to easily automate tasks I would normally do manually. I also found Ellp to be inspiring, as I started automating new tasks that are very handy.
Would you recommend Ellp (BETA) to a friend?


This procedure is intended to resolve disagreements that happen between different agencies in work relating to the safety of children. These disagreements may happen when following the Child Protection Guidance. However, this procedure does not replace any other Child Protection Guidance.
If there is reason to believe that compulsory intervention may be necessary to ensure the provision of adequate care, protection, guidance or control for a child, then a referral to the Children's Convenor may be made. Alternatively if it is an emergency, you must call the Police on 999.
This procedure is written to resolve disagreements which may occur across agencies, when working on child protection. It is expected that each agency will have its own internal policies to cover internal disagreements. These internal policies will direct individuals, when in disagreement about the safety of a child, to make contact with either the MASH or the Police. Discussion about the appropriateness of making a referral will then be discussed with the agency that has been contacted.
It is likely that those who make child protection enquiries to the MASH or the Police will at times be unhappy with the response that they receive. These enquiries may be on cases already known or on new cases. Where the person who makes the enquiry believes that the response has left a child unsafe they will need to take further action as described in this procedure.
There may be times when an enquiry is received by the MASH or the Police, where they disagree with the action that has/has not been taken by another agency. When this has led to a child being unsafe (or is likely to in the future) then they will need to take further action as described in this procedure.
Avoiding professional disputes that put children at risk or obscure the focus on the child.
Resolving the difficulties within and between agencies quickly and openly.
Identifying problem areas in working together where there is a lack of clarity and to promote the resolution via amendment to protocols and procedures.
Effective working together depends on an open approach and honest relationships between agencies. Problem resolution is an integral part of professional co-operation and joint working in protecting children.
The safety of individual children is the paramount consideration in any professional disagreement and any unresolved issues should be addressed with due consideration to the potential risks that might exist for the child. It is also crucial that any disagreement is resolved as quickly as possible and scrutiny is applied to the issues raised in order to consider the potential risks identified.
Resolution should be sought within the shortest timescale possible to ensure the child is protected. Disagreements should be resolved at the lowest possible stage; however, if a child is thought to be at risk of immediate harm, discretion should be used as to which stage is initiated.
At all stages of the process, actions and decisions must be recorded in writing and shared with relevant personnel, to include the worker who raised the initial concern. In particular, this must include written confirmation between the parties about an agreed outcome of the disagreement and how any outstanding issues will be pursued.
Any worker who feels that a decision is not safe or is inappropriate should initially consult their line manager and/or the designated child protection officer (or equivalent) to clarify their thinking in order to identify the problem; to be specific as to what the disagreement is about; and what they aim to achieve. The line manager and/or designated child protection officer will continue to provide support to the concerned worker and oversee the disagreement until a satisfactory resolution is achieved.
Initial attempts should be taken to resolve the problem at the lowest possible level. This would normally be between the people who disagree. It should be recognised that differences in status and/or experience may affect the confidence of some workers to pursue this unsupported.
If the problem is not resolved at stage two, the concerned worker will discuss further with their manager and/or child protection designated officer (or equivalent) within their own agency. The manager or child protection designated officer will then raise the concerns with the equivalent manager or child protection designated officer in the other agency.
If the problem is not resolved at stage three, the manager or child protection designated officer who is supporting the concerned worker will report to their agency representative on the ISCP (where this is a different person) who will meet with the agency representative on the ISCP who represents the agency with whom there is a disagreement. These two senior managers must attempt to resolve the professional differences through discussion.
If it has not been possible to resolve the professional differences within the agencies concerned, the chair of the ISCP Learning and Improvement sub-committee should be informed. This is through contacting the ISCP Business Manager on tel: 256923 or email: childguidelines@gov.gg. The chair of the ISCP Learning and Improvement sub-committee will identify three members of the Learning and Improvement sub-committee (including the agencies concerned in the professional disagreement). These members will then form the Learning and Improvement Resolution Panel.
The panel will receive representations from those concerned in the professional differences and make a decision as to the next course of action, resolving the professional differences concerned.
The decision of the panel is binding on all those agencies concerned.
The ISCP Learning and Improvement sub-committee will ensure a brief report of the issues and decisions made is submitted to the ISCP on an annual basis.
In the unlikely event that the Learning and Improvement Resolution Panel is unable to resolve the professional differences, the matter may be referred to the ISCP for further guidance on how to proceed. It is expected that the need to refer to the ISCP will only be necessary on rare occasions.
It may be useful for individuals to debrief following some disputes in order to promote continuing good working relationships.
A tool designed to enable your service to record the agreed outcome of the use of the professional disagreements procedure, and to aid the ISCP to monitor its use can be found below.


With stocks and even gold plunging, investors are looking for a safe harbor. This drove US Treasury Rates to near zero with the six month Treasury yielding 0.04 percent annually. Vanguard's Prime Money Market is yielding 0.03 percent annually, while Fidelity's is yielding 0.01 percent annually. Luckily, we small investors have ways of safely earning much more by stashing our cash at banks and credit unions.
By the way, I don't just write about these things. I put roughly 80 percent of my fixed income money where my mouth is in CDs and bank money markets, with the remainder mostly in low cost bond index funds. Here's how I go about the analysis and where you too may want to stash your cash, after carefully checking each out, of course.
Though savings accounts offer liquidity, rates can change. In selecting my choices for the highest savings rates, I exclude any institutions that require things like a minimum number of debit card transactions, as that's really just cross subsidizing the profitability of one product with another. Finally, I choose institutions that I see have a history maintaining high rates since I suspect you have better things to do with your time than change accounts every month. I started my research with DepositAccounts.com.
} These rates may not seem like much but look at the difference in interest over a year for each $10,000 invested vs. the one year Treasury. For example, a $100,000 investment at Alliant Credit Union would earn $1,150, or $1,110 over at six month Treasury. That's not bad pay for an hour's worth of time, in my opinion.
If you are willing to lock in your money for a bit, a Certificate of Deposit may be the ticket. A 5-year Treasury is currently yielding 0.92% annually. Small investors, on the other hand, can earn far more and even have less risk if rates go up.
For quite some time now, I've been a fan of the AllyBank 5-year CD with a minimal 60 day early withdrawal penalty. It's yielding 2.04 percent APY. This is the equivalent of earning well over twice the US Treasury and having an option to bail if rates rise.
In the chart to the right, you can see the estimated annual yield even after paying the penalty. For instance, if you cash it in after one year, you'll earn an estimated 1.70 percent annual yield. That's $170 for each $10,000 deposited.
Because Ally Bank does not have partial withdrawals, they will charge the penalty on the entire CD amount. This problem is easily solved as you could open 10 $1,000 CDs rather than one for the entire $10,000. That way, if you needed $800 for an emergency, you could just break one of the CDs.
Of course, the other reason you'd want to break the CD is if rates go up. Say, in a year, you could now earn 3.04 percent on the same CD. Your penalty would amount to 0.34 percent and you'd earn a full 1.00 percent more each year. That's roughly a four month breakeven and I'd certainly be more than happy to pay this penalty.
I've noted that this CD is the equivalent of buying a 5 year CD with a put option that gives you the right to sell it back to them for 99.66 cents on the dollar, or a 0.34 percent discount.
Another favorite of mine is the Security Service Federal Credit Union 7-Year CD. This CD pays between 3.25 percent and 3.40 percent annually, depending on the amount deposited. The early withdrawal penalty is a maximum of a one year penalty. Again, if rates skyrocket, I'll gladly pay the penalty to get out and start earning more. While the Credit Union states there are thousands of ways to qualify for membership, I've found some of my clients don't qualify. Call them to see if you do.
Click on these links to see some other top CDs.
Before opening, turn the page for some words of warning.
#1 Stay below FDIC or NCUA maximums - Accounts are insured to $250,000 per depositor but there are ways to maximize your insurance and get millions of insurance per institution.
#2 Make sure you are getting the rate you think - Some institutions like Ally Bank will hold the rate until the CD is funded for a reasonable period of time. Others will not. If the rate changes before the CD is funded, an institution can give you a lower rate.
# 3 Read the fine print - It's important to read the CD disclosure statement and even the member services agreement for a credit union. Avoid an institution that says they have the right to change any withdrawal penalty or right for existing holders.
Don't settle with earning nothing on your cash. Make it work for you.
Author's note: I have deposits at several institutions mentioned in this piece including Alliant Credit Union, Ally Bank, Discover Bank, and Security Service Federal Credit Union.

"The Animated Blake" is a one-man play by James Jay which illuminates the work of the visionary writer William Blake. Circus arts bring poetry alive, and juggling preaches amazing prophecies in this unique physical theater event.
The complete show premiered to enthusiastic response and sold-out houses at the 1999 Seattle Fringe Festival, and it lives on in the staging of individual acts (in English or German translation).
The motivations behind this craziness are explained in the Blake FAQ!
Thanks to Spinwire, we are happy to offer this free gift.

It has been forever since I last posted. I'm not even sure what has happened in the last 2 weeks.
We also have gone to the temple twice in two weeks. Those two Wednesday's were the best. One day we went with my dad and Lorraine and did sealings. We did about 70 names. It was a very special day. Then we took them out to lunch. And yesterday we went with Tom and Joyce and then out to lunch with them.
What a fantastic way to spend the day. I only wish I had the time to do that more often.
About a week or so ago there was the Science Fair at school. Brian was so cute...he had made the comment the night before about how he didn't want to go to District/Region and then to State again like he did last year. If that is the case then he shouldn't do a great project with bacteria and petri dishes and disinfectants. Because out of the possible 300 pts he got 288...and he is going to District/Region. He really did do a great job! We are so proud of him.
Robert was transferred to Milano on the 12th of January. He loves it there and seems happy. I can't believe that he has been gone for almost one year. It is crazy how time has gone by so fast!
And as usual we have been busy with basketball practices and games with Brian. And we love it!
My brother Dave and his wife Sherrie are moving to Hawaii. They will be leaving in a few weeks. They are going on a lot of faith and I hope that it all works out for them. Kinda' scary when you don't have much to go to...but not much to stay here for either....ALOHA and GOOD LUCK!
In a letter that Robert wrote to us recently he told us about how he was praying for something and in that moment as he was praying he felt something that he says he will never forget for the rest of his life. He expressed how he felt afterwards, etc. I wish I could explain it all here, but it was a personal experience of his. But the thing that impressed me so much was the fact of how our Father in Heaven knows our needs and He is right there. Ready and Willing to answer and to comfort us in our hour/moment of need.
All we need to do is get on our knees and ask.
Our home teacher came this past week...and his message had to to with missionary work and prayer. Two things very dear to my heart. As we spoke he made the comment that we need to be more specific when we pray so that it is easier to see the hand of the Lord at work in our lives or the lives of others.
I have really tried to do that, and from Robert's letter....I saw the Lord at work.
How thankful I am to know that there is someone greater than I watching over my son, and who is there to comfort him, guide him in his missionary service, and to answer his simple supplications.
And how thankful I am to know that the same Father in Heaven listens to the nightly prayers of a mother praying for her children.

It is my great honour to be awarded the 4th Marcin Antczak Award for the most inspiring ornithological paper published in 2017! I was awarded for my papers on interspecific social information use and acoustic communication in wood warblers. You can read more about these papers here and here, while here you can find the official announcement of the International Board of Marcin Antczak Award.
The Marcin Antczak Award is presented annually for an outstanding and inspiring ornithological paper published in the preceding year by an early career researcher from Poland, the Czech Republic, or Slovakia. The Award commemorates Dr Marcin Antczak, who was an excellent field ornithologist working on shrikes and other bird species in Central Europe and Africa. He tragically died in car accident on his way to the field on 2nd May 2014, in his 37th year of life.
This award has a very special meaning to me. I had the privilage to know Marcin personally, as during my studies at Adam Mickiewicz University I attended lectures on behavioral ecology and ethology he was co-organizing together with Michał Skierczyński, who was at that time my supervisor. These lectures, full of passion and great sense of humor, ultimately grounded my research interests and inspired to study how animals behave and why they do what they do. Later, we spent a lot of time chatting about fascinating aspects of animal behavior, until that sad 2nd May 2014… Receiving now the award that commemorates Marcin's contribution to ornithology is a true honour!

Wyoo on this flight attire?
Have just seen a BBC article where this passenger was requested to also put on a jacket as the staff deemed it inappropriate wear - viewing the top as underwear which the passenger insists was a Zara summer top from last season.
Fwiw the passenger tried to compare her clothes to that of a vest top and shorts.
I mean really. Just get dressed.
Do airlines have dress codes? Where are these published? Are they explicitly pointed out to customers before they fly? Are customers agreeing to conform to said dress code at some point? Because honestly, if the answer to these are no, I don't see how they can tell you to do anything with your outfit! It seems ridiculous to me!
Other than its too cold for it, meh. Her choice what she wears, not sure how it would be inappropriate as not as if she's falling out of it and flashing everyone.
It's not that bad but I hope she had a cardigan in case of a draught.
It's fine for Tenerife. Not fine for Saudi Arabia.
Not indecent, not offensive. And appropriate for the climate she's travelling to. However i think she blew it up way more than it needed to. It's early March wear a card or jacket here take it off when you get there.
Yes they asked badly. But she really did make it much bigger than it needed to be.
I have seen all sorts washing this type of top in the day in Jan and Feb. It's fine in summer but looks daft in winter very "Look at me".
And yes I'm jealous of her figure, but that's a separate issue.
Birmingham to Tenerife on March 2nd.
Oh. The reason I asked was just because I guess the country she's travelling to may have rules based on how to dress in places like an airport.
Tenerife though doesn't have dress customs as far as I'm aware. Respectable should be enough.
Underwear is definitely being worn as outer wear these days. It's not something I'd wear myself but then I don't think I'm young enough or fit enough to dress that way.
As long as nothing is on show, then I can't see an issue.

Review: After Life by Ricky Gervais
Andrew Roycroft March 22, 2019 March 22, 2019 Atheism, Culture, Grief, Immortality
The creative output of comedian, writer, director and actor Ricky Gervais is always worthy of some consideration. His past successes with The Office and Extras were due in no small part to his ability to see the everyday banalities of modern life, the petty significance of people's experiences, and to render them with starkness and a subtly belated pathos. His writing is uncomfortable and angular, he is willing to use silences and particles of speech which seldom reach a script, and the outrageousness of some of his characters is only ever a slight exaggeration. Precisely because of these factors, the release on Netflix of After Life still felt like an important 'television' moment. The trailers showed a taciturn Gervais evidently world-worn and life-weary, facing up to the reality of grief, of life after the life of a loved one.
The result is at once poignant and polemical, daring and disappointing. As one would expect, the writing and acting is of the first order with a steady naturalism in how things are phrased and delivered. Gervais manages to portray mourning without excessive moping, turning out a brilliantly realised widower who is genuinely struggling to re-order his life in the wake of horrendous loss. The issues of suicide and alcoholism are brutally but sympathetically handled, and the little inflections of frustration with modern life (his character Tony's encounters with the postman for example) are clever and recognisable. The rest of the cast do a brilliant job, creating a group of people who are part of the main character's world, but who have excellent and disarming back stories of their own. The pace of the drama is also spot-on, and Gervais' willingness to plant seeds of his plot which germinate throughout the series is both ambitious and believable. Given Gervais' status it would have been easy to turn out a comedy series which didn't take the pains which After Life has done, but there is little sense that he is resting on past capital in the writing and production here.
The poignancy of the drama is, however, somewhat thrown out of balance by its polemical preoccupations. Gervais' atheism is given ample air time (which, as a Christian, is fine by me) but only in environments where it can be affirmed rather than intelligently probed. There are a few easy bouts between Tony and a colleague whose apologetics are somewhat lacking, offering him paragraphs of room to ruminate on the place of Christianity in a pluralistic world and the feasibility of ethical living in the absence of absolutes. In one sense it is refreshing to engage with a drama which enters this territory, but the handling here is neither believable nor deft.
This is particularly disappointing given the conceit behind the drama. I would have loved to watch a drama in which an individual works through the realities of grief from the vantage point of an atheistic worldview, where there was some sense of tension or even a small degree of wrestling with what it means to lose someone if the only 'after life' is that lived by those who are bereaved. Instead we get a series of monologues straight from the outdated and philosophically unsophisticated playbook of Richard Dawkins.
That disappointment is also sustained by some of the context and conclusions which After Life offers. Far from portraying grief in grey or gritty terms, the series' world is permanently sun-lit and serene. Tony lives in a fictional town which is lightly populated, he works a dead-end job but is obviously affluent, giving the whole sequence of events a dream-like, heavenly feel. This is undoubtedly intentional, but one has to question the creative ambition behind this. Are we being consoled that grieving without God and without future hope is hard but ultimately enlightened? Are we really probing the pain of personal loss by using utopia as a backdrop?
The conclusions of the drama are as sunny as the summer bleached pavements on which it unfolds. At the opening of After Life Tony is at war with the world, standing up to opportunist thieves, feeling irked by other people's eating habits, threatening a school bully with being bludgeoned to death with a hammer, starkly rejecting a date, showing impatience with his elderly father, and knowingly helping someone else to commit suicide. So far, so fearless. But the gradual turn around in Tony's life is hard to quantify against these earlier behaviours, his empathy for others seeming to be restored through conversations with an elderly widow and a feckless psychotherapist. The resolution to the drama is vacuously redemptive with Tony's goodness turning around the lives of all who are in his orbit. He resolves to treat others well as a means of grace, reserving his ire only for those who deserve to be handled with contempt.
This is all too easy. It is such a shame that a programme which purports to probe grief, which interrogates God, which heralds humanism, is so lacking in self-awareness and auto-critique. Gervais writes as though Beckett never had, as though existential angst is a thing of the past, as though creation simply awaits its redemption through human good. This is desperately naive, and utterly insufficient to face the true realities of living in the rough stuff of a broken world. Gervais does not want God but he longs for good, he does not want absolutes but he does want altruism, he wants to talk about grief but only as a vehicle for humanistic grace. There are depths to loss which are not plumbed here, there are anxieties and contradictions and cross-pressures which plague our existence as human beings, there are deep wounds which cannot be healed lightly, and After Life does little to address or grapple with any of this.
