The Metaphysical Beekeeper
Posted on November 5, 2018	by Ron Miksha
As I continue to plod along with my Master's in bee ecology at the University of Calgary, I feel obligated to apologize for the infrequency of these bad beekeeping posts. Sorry. But I'm not going to apologize for occasionally repeating a posting from the past – especially this one, which celebrates the great commercial beekeeper, writer, and philosophy professor, Richard Taylor. He would have been 99 years old on November 5th. I last published this piece two years ago. I wonder what he'd think of our messed-up world if he were alive and philosophizing today…
Today is the anniversary of the birth of one of my beekeeper-heroes, Professor Richard Taylor. He was an early champion of the round comb honey system, a commercial beekeeper with just 300 hives, and he was a philosopher who "wrote the book" on metaphysics. Really, he wrote the book on metaphysics – for decades, his college text Metaphysics introduced first-year philosophy students to the most fundamental aspect of reality – the nature of cosmology and the existence of all things.
Although his sport of philosophy was speculative, unprovable, and abstract to the highest degree, Richard Taylor was as common and down-to-earth as it's possible to become. I will write about his philosophy and how it shaped his politics, but first, let's celebrate his beekeeping.
Richard Taylor and his twin brother were born November 5th, 1919. This was shortly after their father had died. That left a widowed mother to raise an impoverished family during the Great American Depression. Richard was fourteen when he got his first hive of bees in 1934 – the year that a quarter of Americans were unemployed and soup-lines leading to Salvation Army kitchens stretched for blocks. He began beekeeping that year, and except for submarine duty as an officer during World War II, he was never far from bees. He respected honest hard work and the value of a penny, but he nevertheless drifted, trying college, then quitting, and taking on various uninspiring jobs.
Evenings, on his bunk in his navy sub, Richard descended into the gloomy passages of Arthur Schopenhauer. Somehow the nihilistic philosopher appealed to Taylor and ironically gave him renewed interest in life. Because of this new interest, Taylor went back to school and became a philosopher himself.
Richard Taylor earned his PhD at Brown University, then taught at Brown, Columbia, and finally Rochester, from which he retired in 1985 after twenty years. He also held court as a visiting lecturer at Cornell, Hamilton, Hartwick, Hobart and William Smith College, Ohio State, and Princeton. His best years were at Rochester where he philosophized while his trusted German shepherd Vannie curled under his desk. Richard Taylor sipped tea and told his undergrads about the ancient philosophers – Plato, Epicurus, Aristotle, Xeno, and Thales. In the earlier days, he often drew on a cigar while he illuminated his flock of philosophy students. Those who attended his classes remarked on his simple, unpretentious language. They also noted that he was usually dressed in bee garb – khakis and boots. He and Vannie quickly disappeared to Richard Taylor's apiaries as soon as the lecture ended and the last student withdrew from the hall.
The hippie beekeeper
It's probably unfair to call Dr Richard Taylor a hippie beekeeper, but perhaps he was exactly that. As a beekeeper, he was reclusive. He refused to hire help. Rather than deal with customers, he set up a roadside stand where people took honey and left money on the honor system. Taylor disdained big noisy equipment. He claims to have sometimes taken a lawn chair and a thermos of tea to his apiaries so he could relax and listen to the insects work, but I doubt that he did this much. Through the pages of American Bee Journal, Bee Culture, and several beekeeping books, he described best beekeeping practices as he saw them – and those practices required hard work and self-discipline more than relaxed lawn-chair introspection.
Running 300 colonies alone while holding a full-time job and writing a book every second year demands focus. His bees were well-cared for, each producing about a hundred pounds every year in an area where such crops are rare. By 1958, he was switching from extracting, which he disliked, to comb honey production, which he loved. Comb honey takes a more skilled beekeeper and better attention to details, but in return it requires less equipment, a smaller truck, and no settling tanks, sump pumps, whirling extractors, or 600-pound drums. "Just a pocket knife for cleaning the combs," he wrote.
To me, it's surprising that Richard Taylor embraced the round comb honey equipment called Cobanas. The surprising thing is that the equipment is plastic. Reading Taylor's books, one realizes his affinity for simple tools and old-fashioned ways. Plastic seems wrong. But it's not.
In the past, comb honey sections were square-shaped and made from wood. That required the destruction of forests of stately basswood (linden) trees, something that did not appeal to Taylor. Plastic lasts forever, a real benefit for a person as frugal as Richard Taylor. It is light-weight, durable, and ultimately very practical for bee equipment. He advocated making comb honey and he was sure that the Cobana equipment, invented by a Michigan physician in the 1950s, would lead the way. He was so enthused that in 1958, living in Connecticut, he wrote his first beekeeping article about the new plastic equipment for the American Bee Journal. Here's the photo that accompanied his story.

One final thing about Richard Taylor, the beekeeper. He was financially successful. In today's dollars, his comb honey bee farm returned about $50,000 profit each year – a tidy sum for a hobby and more than enough spare change to indulge his habit of frequenting farmer's auctions where he'd delight in carrying home a stack of empty used hive bodies that could be had for a dollar.
Taylor, the teacher
Richard Taylor immensely enjoyed teaching and lamented what he called "grantsmanship" which arose in America while he was a professor. Grantsmanship is the skill of securing funding for one's projects while possibly ignoring the fundamental duties of teaching. This, of course, can eventually lead to big dollars flowing to researchers who are willing to claim that sugar, for example, does not contribute to obesity and cigarette smoke does little more than sharpen one's senses. Richard Taylor saw the conflict and regretted the demise of good faculty instructors replaced "largely by graduate students, some from abroad with limited ability to speak English. Lecturers who simply read in a monotone from notes are not uncommon," he wrote.
Meanwhile, the (sometimes unethical) pursuit of grants was accompanied by the rise of the "publish or perish" syndrome. In his own field, Taylor pointed out that academic philosophers engaged in "a kind of intellectual drunkenness, much of which ends up as articles in academic journals, thereby swelling the authors' lists of publications." Taylor wrote extensively on this in 1989, saying that there were 93 academic philosophy journals published in the USA alone that year – seldom read, seldom good, but filling mailboxes with material to secure a professor's promotions.
This was not the academic world that Richard Taylor sought when he began his career in the 1950s, but it was the world he eventually left. Although he wrote 17 books – mostly philosophical essays but also several rather good beekeeping manuals – he didn't publish many academic papers. He spent more time in the lecture halls and with his bees than he did "contemplating the existential reality of golden mountains" and writing papers about them, as he put it.
The philosopher and the bee
I am only going to give this one short passage about Richard Taylor, the philosopher. He studied and taught metaphysics and ethics. His essays on free will and fatalism are renowned and influential, even today. I've never taken a philosophy course, so anything I say about the subject will probably embarrass me. But a few years ago, during a winter trip to Florida, I carried Taylor's Metaphysics with me. I read every word and I think that I understood it at the time. For me, most of it was transparent common sense. Since it was well-crafted and interesting, Taylor may have lulled me into believing that I understood his metaphysical description of the universe, even with just this cursory introduction. At any rate, I felt that what he wrote wasn't different than what I'd come to discover on my own, although it was much more elegantly presented than I could ever manage.
Taylor-made politics
When I saw Richard Taylor – just once, at a beekeepers' meeting – I indeed thought that he was a hippie, a common enough form of beekeeper in the 1970s. His belt was baler twine and a broad-rimmed hat hid his face. I was surprised to later discover that Richard Taylor identified as a conservative and voted Republican. But he was also an atheist, advocated for women's rights, and late in life (though proud of his military service) he became a pacifist, "coming late to the wisdom," he said. I guess he would be a libertarian today. He valued hard work, self-sufficiency, and independence. He disliked Nixon, but gladly voted for Reagan. He even wrote a New York Times editorial praising Reagan's inaugural address while offering insight on what it means to be an introspective conservative in the 1980s.
At age 62, still a professor of philosophy at the University of Rochester, and the recent author of the book Freedom, Anarchy, and the Law, he wrote a widely-circulated New York Times opinion piece. Taylor wrote that in Reagan's inaugural address, Reagan reminded us that "our government is supposed to be one of limited powers, not one that tries to determine for free citizens what is best for them and to deliver them from all manner of evil." Richard Taylor then goes on to warn that "political subversion . . . is the attempt to subordinate the Constitution to some other philosophy or creed, believed by its adherents to be nobler, wiser, or better."
Taylor warned of anti-constitutional subversion in American politics, "if anyone were to try to replace the Constitution with, say, the Koran, then no one could doubt that this would be an act of subversion . . . Similarly, anyone subordinating the principles embodied in the Constitution to those of the Bible, or to those of one of the various churches or creeds claiming scripture as its source, is committing political subversion."
Taylor tells us that conservative spokesmen of Reagan's era – he mentions Jerry Fallwell and others – are right saying that "it is not the government's function to pour blessings upon us in the form of art, health, and education, however desirable these things may be." Nor, he claims, is it constitutional for "the Government to convert schoolrooms into places for prayer meetings, or to compel impoverished and unmarried girls, or anyone else, to bear misbegotten children, to make pronouncements on evolution, to instruct citizens on family values, or to determine which books can and cannot be put in our libraries or placed within reach of our children. . . it can never, in the eyes of the genuine conservative, be the role of Government to force such claims upon us. The Constitution explicitly denies the Government any such power."
I think that Richard Taylor would be politically frustrated today. The Republicans have drifted ever-further from small government and have expanded their reach into personal affairs while the Democrats have pushed forward extensive safety nets. A true libertarian party, such as Taylor seems to wish for, gathers little support in America today.
I hope that my summary of Richard Taylor's political philosophy has not offended his most ardent followers. I've tried to distill what Taylor thought about good government – I agree with much of it, but disagree with some. It is presented as just one facet of his personality. Taylor was complicated. His last book, written in his 80s while he was dying from lung cancer, is about marriage – yet his own marriages had heartbreaks.
He showed other complicated and unexpected quirks. For example, he was an avowed humanist, yet showed a spiritual nature. In his office, he mounted a certificate which honored him as a laureate of the International Academy of Humanism, one of the few people chosen over the years. Others included Carl Sagan, Christopher Hitchens, Isaac Asimov, Richard Dawkins, Richard Leakey, Steven Pinker, Salman Rushdie, E.O. Wilson, Elena Bonner, and Karl Popper. He was in extremely elevated intellectual company. Taylor belonged there among the other atheists, even if he once metaphorically wrote in his most popular bee book, "the ways of man are sometimes, like the ways of God, wondrous indeed."
Taylorisms in the bee yard
Richard Taylor was complicated for a simple man. It is said that he could not stand complacency, vanity or narcissistic behavior, yet he seemed to get along well in gatherings of beekeepers where such attitudes are often on display. He had a love of paradox and Socratic whimsy, yet he was disciplined and direct as a writer. He delighted in the pessimism of Schopenhauer, yet he was not a pessimist himself. Instead, he was quite a puzzle.
I will end this little essay with wisdom from Richard Taylor, beekeeper. Richard Taylor's finest bee book, The Joys of Beekeeping, is replete with homey truisms that every aspiring beekeeper should acknowledge and embrace. The book itself is slim, entertaining, personal, and very instructive of the art of keeping bees. Or, as Taylor himself calls beekeeping, "living with the bees. They keep themselves".
Here, then, are some select Taylorisms:
Beekeeping success demands "a certain demeanor. It is not so much slow motion that is wanted, but a controlled approach."
"…no man's back is unbreakable and even beekeepers grow older. When full, a mere shallow super is heavy, weighing forty pounds or more. Deep supers, when filled, are ponderous beyond practical limit."
"Some beekeepers dismantle every hive and scrape every frame, which is pointless as the bees soon glue everything back the way it was."
"There are a few rules of thumb that are useful guides. One is that when you are confronted with some problem in the apiary and you do not know what to do, then do nothing. Matters are seldom made worse by doing nothing and are often made much worse by inept intervention."
. . . and my own favourites . . .
"Woe to the beekeeper who has not followed the example of his bees by keeping in tune with imperceptibly changing nature, having his equipment at hand the day before it is going to be needed rather than the day after. Bees do not put things off until the season is upon them. They would not survive that season if they did, so they anticipate. The beekeeper who is out of step will sacrifice serenity for anxious last-minute preparation, and that crop of honey will not materialize. Nature does not wait."
"Sometimes the world seems on the verge of insanity, and one wonders what limit there can be to greed, aggression, deception, and the thirst for power or fame. When reflections of this sort threaten one's serenity, one can be glad for the bees…" – The Joys of Beekeeping

Thanks for taking time to share this. Your posts are always enjoyable because they are so educational. Now I'm going to have to look further into his works.

Well, thank you for this!! I think Taylor would be extremely concerned with the current state of wealth consolidation in the US and the world generally. The wealthy of our administration seem hell-bent on mining and extracting for profit at a ever increasing rate, while the climate science directly instructs us to be going in the opposite direction. As to Reagan's legacy, his daughter Patty issued a statement recently criticizing the common reference to her dad's God-like legacy by the politicians of today slandering journalists.
Ron ,
There is no need for apologies to anyone , you have your life , apologies are usually presented to erase guilt ,
Your only guilt is to publish great article which are beneficial to the entire beekeeper at large regardless of their Countries , no one expect you to publish them at a certain date and time , this is the beauty of your blog , Freedom to write what ever you feel is right when ever you want.. .
I came across your blog a couples years ago , I always enjoy the articles you publish even if at time I do not agree , it is irrelevant as they reflect your view , your experience which you so generously share .

After Alabama blasted Louisville in its opening game Saturday night, Alabama coach Nick Saban took exception to a question from ESPN sideline reporter Maria Taylor about what he thought of the way his quarterbacks played.
Obviously, Alabama had a significant quarterback competition before Saban picked a winner. Like most coaches, he doesn't like to talk about it. Like most coaches, he can snap when he answers — something all media members expect.
What did Kentucky coach Mark Stoops think about Saban's remarks?
"It was very poignant in that I don't want to talk anything negative about either of our guys, any of our guys, including Danny [Clark]. When people try to get you to ask what one guy's doing, it's insinuating that the other one's not doing that," Stoops said.
Hoak came in with UK trailing in the final minute of the first half after starter Terry Wilson was hurt and led UK on a go-ahead scoring drive. Hoak played two series in the second half before Wilson took back over.
"It's a great teaching moment for our team. For our young guys because he could have gone in the tank and moped, cried or complained or pointed fingers, but he just worried about himself and preparing and went in in a very difficult situation and performed. I'm proud of him for that," Stoops said.
Pretty high praise for Hoak there Coach, yet you pull him quickly in the second half in favor of the guy that turned the ball over three times and lost the lead. One thing is for sure, Saban gave both his QB's plenty of playing time against Louisville so as to leave no doubt who the best one is. Hoak can hand off to Snell and Rose just like Wilson can. If Wilson is the better game time QB, let us watch and see, but give Hoak his chance to let us see what he can do in a fair and square deal..
I think Stoops is a very good person, but as a coach, I believe he is scared to death to make a change, once he has made a decision. Yes, Hoak had 3 straight 3 and outs in the second half, but look at their field position and look at the play calling. Hoak did great in the 2 minute offense, but that would mean UK would have to play fast, and that is something Stoops and Gran just are willing to do. They want to score, but only after having the ball for 10 minutes. How dare a player score in 2 minutes and make the defense go back on the field.


Vipul was awesome. But we were stopped outside as we had booked the tickets from eventshigh. All book my show users were let in before us although they came later than us. The show started at 8 because of technical issues with the sound. If the event had been planned well in advance this could have been avoided. But the show was awesome as Vipul is a great comedian. - by VIVEK KUMAR for Vipul Goyal Live Bangalore organized by Curtain Call Productions .
About the seating - chairs were very uncomfortable. I'd booked diamond for.750 but was made to sit in 500About sound and light - sound was echoing and was very non coherent, too much disturbance at the bar, unable to hear. Thrice did the comedian ask ppl to quiet down. Lighting as ok.About the venue - menu was ok, parking was available easily. GoodAbout the show content - terrible, not worth 750. Both Sandeep and Kabir were average, but that's not your faultOverall one of the worse experiences - by Ankur Agrawal for Sharmaji-Before and After by Sundeep Sharma in Bangalore organized by Curtain Call Productions .
Awesome!! - by Rohit Vishal Pandey for Fresh Thoughts by Kunal Kamra in Gurgaon organized by Curtain Call Productions .

Was a refreshing evening - by Shankaranarayanan G for Vipul Goyal Live in Pune organized by Curtain Call Productions .
1. The first Show was expected to start at 6 and the second one at 7. I had booked for 6 PM show. Both were combined and then the same took off at 7 PM. Opus made a killing by selling snacks and beverages while we all waited for 1 hour without the slightest doubt that the organisers pulled a good trick. Not sure if this was preplanned. We had some jokes cracking by 2 guys from the troupe. It was very clear that they were trying to kill time to combine both shows. Even Vipul seemed to be unhappy when he started the stage. 2. The audio was pathetic. This was my first experience of live stand up comedy show. The front row guys were experiencing echo all the time. This could have been checked before the actual show.3. Power shut down not once but thrice. It shows the poor planning by the organisers. I will think twice next time to attend such shows.regardsSuresh - by Suresh Shankaranarayana for Vipul Goyal Live Bangalore organized by Curtain Call Productions .
Great show - by Manojkumar M Rajgaria for Vipul Goyal Live Bangalore organized by Curtain Call Productions .

Like any dish is about condiments, a comic set is about the presenter's experiences. What i liked the most about pant's rant was he stayed unequivocal. This, along with the fun, the sattire and also the intellect just rounded off the show for me. A great experience!!P.S. venue could have been more ergonomical.. - by Vivek Ilawat for The Rant of The Pant:Sorabh Pant Live in Delhi organized by Curtain Call Productions .


Children need boundaries to help them grow into respectful, confident adults. Setting boundaries that stick online is especially difficult because technology is designed to keep people using it. Add to that the fact that children need to test boundaries as they mature and learn how to find their own and it's easy to feel you're fighting a losing battle.
You can take comfort in the knowledge that setting limits makes children feel safe. By setting boundaries you will help your child learn to set limits for themselves and develop their self-discipline - a skill that will help them as they grow up into adults surrounded by technology.
Some of the boundaries you set will be non-negotiable, especially when it comes to the safety of your child and others. Some will be more flexible. You may, for instance, decide to set different limits on their social media use during exams or at the weekend. Working with your child to agree what they are going to be and taking their perspective into account will make it much easier to make boundaries stick. Here are some more techniques to reduce digital boundary battles in your household.
Only you will know what your child is like. Setting boundaries that work will be much easier if your expectations of how they should behave match where they are in terms of their development. For example, some children will be much more affected by unrealistic images they see on Instagram and other social media platforms than others. If you feel that your child's mood is negatively impacted by spending time on certain platforms you will want to have clear boundaries about how often and for how long they use them. To make those sort of boundaries work you will need to tell them what you're worried about, why you're setting the boundary and how you hope it will help them.
Not all technology is created equal. Understanding what your child enjoys and what they are spending their time doing will help you to explain the boundaries and why you're putting them in place. For example, a gaming environment can be difficult to leave for lots of reasons - they might be playing with a group of friends and feel they'd be letting them down if they stopped suddenly.
Good gaming boundaries allow your child the flexibility to plan their gaming and have advance warning when their time is up. Chatting online - in all its instant messaging, live chat and live streaming forms needs a different approach. You need to agree how much time they spend doing it but also boundaries about accepting friend requests, dealing with too many messages and what to do if people start to behave badly.
If their passion is creating and sharing content you'll want to agree whether they're old enough, whether you're going to allow comments and which platforms you're happy for them to use. The idea that one size fits all when it comes to digital boundaries doesn't work - the devil is very much in the detail.
We've all had moments when it's suited us to let our children play a little longer on their iPad or games console. No-one can be consistent all the time - but it's important to try. Boundaries that change aren't really boundaries - they're guidelines and children won't feel compelled to follow them. Alongside consistency comes fairness and it's something children care about a lot. If they feel that the rules are different for different people they're going to struggle to understand them unless you have a really good explanation.
Unfortunately, this means you need to think about your own tech use. For example, if you're telling your children not to take their devices to the bedroom you need to be prepared to explain why it's different for you, if like us you sometimes take your phone to bed with you.
No-one likes arbitrary rules. Even very young children like to be able to negotiate so making sure your child feels as though they have had a say in what you decided makes your chances of successfully enforcing the boundary far greater.
Of course, there will be times when you simply have to say no because it's a safety issue or a question of age appropriateness but whenever possible it's better to negotiate. Aside from making your life easier, it helps children to internalise the rules - to make them something they want to do because they believe in them rather than something they're just being told.
It's tempting to use parental controls, filters and other tools not just to enforce boundaries but to set them for you. This is a really bad idea. They're a great tool to help you and your children stick to the boundaries you've set but if you use them to set up arbitrary time limits or filters you haven't explained your children will miss the opportunity to talk to you about why you've set the limits and more importantly to take a critical developmental step and internalise the rules. So use them as a backup for your parenting decisions. A tool to help everyone stick to good digital habits, not just a blunt stick to limit access.
No-one is finding digital boundary setting easy but your sensible offline parenting is your best guide. The technology can make it especially difficult but in the end, you are in control and your children will grow up happier, healthier and more resilient for your efforts - however frustrating that can be at times.

This is one of the oldest archaeological sites in the valley of Oaxaca that is conveniently located near the city of Oaxaca. The site goes back to approximately 1150 B.C. as one of the earliest organized urban centers in the valley. It's constructed next to excellent alluvial fields which secured a good food production for themselves as well as to trade with. Regardless of the fact that a few hundred years later Monte Alban took over all the influence as the grand centre of administration in the area, El Mogote remained as a continual agricultural centre and breadbasket of the Zapotecs for many centuries more. There are a few mounds that have been restored and can be visited as well as a community museum which exhibits some of the main objects found in all the digs.


C&Cnet client screen resolution bug plus mods using it.
I have problem with C&Cnet client using mods all force native screen resolution witch is 3840x2160 and i cant change it since it reverts manual change in ini file back to native and only way i can use custom screen resolution is by making ini read only. I add pictures of my problem i only hope that there is a way to fix this.
This might be a permissions issue. Have you tried running the client as admin?
Yes i have but no change.
I updated drivers plus reinstalled thous as well still no change.
Are you using a virtual machine?
Sorry but no. I play thous on main machine still i have no clue how this happened exepct os is windows 10 so i guess updates mess up things or something and no help form their part either. Because of this mess i cant play mp mod with my friends since native screen resulution makes thing tiny no joke. But if theres a way to force client to run in choosen resulution with ini edit then no problem since this can be made read only but where.
Done tryed no errors, no drive bugs either. Plus i keep every thing up to date to avoid problems in the first place. It is like some is trying to kill life support of good old game with updates. No way to fix even old drives wont bring back screen resulution options any more it worked on my old laptop but not any more. Windows 10 is latest build.
you did an sfc scan in 4 minutes?
Do you have all the resolutions when you launch clientogl.exe?
For some od reason that has but main exe to launch mod or other mods doesnt have it curious. Any ideas how this is possible just wondering since i didnt know about this exe at all.
clientogl.exe uses OpenGL for the backend. By default the client launches clientdx.exe which is using DirectX.
How to make switch to launch with this openGL exe since other wise i am stuck with directX one and read only ini. Plus another problem with this clientogl.exe is that no sound.
Just make a shortcut to clientogl.exe or change the shortcut that you normally use.
Ok thanks temporary fix until theres real fix for this in windows 10 or who knows what causes that problem that programs cant switch betvene direcX and openGL.

The triggers have been created with Final sun's, under Edit> trigger editor (with disabled beginner mode under Options), using 8 repeating triggers with events "Entered by" with spawn1 as parameter in the first triggers, spawn2 in the next, etc. all with Action "enable trigger", enabling each their own Trigger, the "give credits" loop, and also 7 disable all other houses credits loop. So the give credits loop need another 8 repeating triggers, Using event Time elapse, and action give credits. Make sure you have all the triggers options owner set to Neutral and repeating. Then you attach the "entered by spawn1" to your oil derricks, and in that same trigger's options attach the"entered by spawn2" trigger, and in that trigger attach spawn3, etc.
You can download one of the maps i attached here, to check it out yourself and see how the trigger's work.
Using 2 different editor on the same file could delete your work. So Always make sure you Reload the file Each time you made an edit. Using a software like notepad++ will always ask you to reload it, Final sun does NOT.
If this will crash its possible that the client you're using isn't up to date, for this is tested and working in CnCnet.
Using triggers can always crash untested, and so its smart to test every little thing first. Or ever smarter, get a coach that knows alot about final sun. Me, Ptapiok, Humble, Skylegend, and many others don't mind helping you on on the discord sever https://discord.gg/CMMVFYk if you have any trouble what so ever.
OTHER THEN ALL OF THAT, COPYING ALL CODES UNDER [Tags],[Triggers],[Actions],[Events] will most likely work (on CnCnet for sure).
Just updated to latest release, haven't changed any settings on the machine and can no longer play. Games starts then as soon as I start to try to play everything locks up.
EDIT: If I set game to CnC Draw it works, DDwrapper no longer works.

WATCH: Showmax Releases First Trailer For 'Lebo M – Coming Home'
Internet TV service, Showmax, has just released the first trailer for Lebo M – Coming Home, the next Showmax Original reality series, launching 2 December 2020.
The trailer starts, like The Lion King, with Lebo M's distinctive voice singing, Nants' Ingonyama, from 'The Circle Of Life', off Hans Zimmer's Oscar-winning soundtrack to the animated classic.
"I've worked with some of the biggest and greatest, most talented people in the world," says Lebo M, who's won a Grammy, been nominated for a Tony for his work on the highest-grossing Broadway production of all time, executive produced the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, had his songs streamed over 250 million times on Spotify alone, and won the 2020 DStv Mzansi Viewer's Choice 1Life Legend Award.
But now, Lebo M says, "I'm re-entering a phase in my life as a family man… Family has always been the basis under which I function better."
In the trailer, we see him throw a housewarming at his equestrian estate in Blair Athol, which he calls "our final home." He shares the mansion with his 90-something mother; four of his children; and Angela Ngani-Casara, his third wife, who talks in the trailer of "a new era, a new dawn."
But Lebo M also admits "the dysfunctionality of my family history," which has seen him married three times, helping to raise nine children along the way, one of whom tragically passed away.
The tension with Tshepiso, his only surviving son, is clear in the trailer. Tshepiso lives in Midrand and has just become a father himself, but Lebo admits in the trailer, "I'm in the worst relationship with my son I've ever been, since he was born."
But, as Lebo M says at the end of the trailer, "I'm ready to face the music."
Lebo M – Coming Home is the debut reality series from Dopezuluboi Productions, founded by Teddy Geldart, who directed two seasons of Being Bonang and was executive producer of the SAFTA-winning Living The Dream With Somizi S4 and this year's other South African hit reality show, Kwa Mam'Mkhize.
Lebo M – Coming Home is the third Original reality series this year from Showmax, after Somizi & Mohale: The Union broke the overall first-day viewing record on Showmax and Life With Kelly Khumalo became the fastest Showmax Original to top one million views.
Other upcoming Showmax Originals include Babes Wodumo and Mampintha's reality series, Uthando Lodumo; the long-awaited second season of the SAFTA-winning comedy, Tali's Wedding Diary; the nightclub-set murder mystery Skemerdans; and the small town psychological thriller Dam, all expected in early 2021.

HomeUS TVPreview: Elementary 1×1 (CBS/Sky Living)
Preview: Elementary 1×1 (CBS/Sky Living)
On the quest for blandness
20th September 2012 Rob Buckley TV reviews, US TV 6 Comments
In the US: Thursdays, 10/9c, CBS. Starts September 27
In the UK: Acquired by Sky Living for October broadcast
You will recall that not so long ago, Steven Moffat was extremely dischuffed. "Pourquoi?" you might ask if you were French. Well, my francophone friend, because as well as being the showrunner for Doctor Who, Stevie is also the showrunner and indeed co-creator of a little known show called Sherlock, an updating of Conan Doyle's famous consulting detective. After pitching an updated version to the American TV network CBS, he became seriously dischuffed when he heard that CBS was going to do their own version without the benefit of his wisdom.
And here it comes: Elementary, starring Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes, a former consultant to Scotland Yard, who moves to New York to get away from his father and to help US cop Captain Gregson (Aidan Quinn) with his enquiries. Of course, since he doesn't get paid for his work, he needs his father's money to keep him in little things like food and lodgings, and since our Sherlock also had a bit of a drug habit, as a condition of continued support, daddy dearest gives him a live-in 'sober companion', a therapist who stays with Sherlock night and day to make sure he doesn't revert to old habits. That would be one Dr Joan Watson (Lucy Liu).
Sound much like Sherlock? No.
Stevie need not have worried.
In fact, Elementary, even putting aside the change in location of the stories, gender of Dr Watson and promotion of Inspector Gregson, is possibly the loosest adaptation of Conan Doyle's classics there's ever been. Well, apart from that manga one and that one set in space. And while it's a perfectly functional procedural, efficiently told and competently made, with an intriguingly quirky performance from Miller, it's also the blandest adaptation of Conan Doyle's classics there's even been. Yes, even including Young Sherlock – The Mystery of the Manor House.
Here's a trailer. It's basically a four-minute precis of the pilot.
ELEMENTARY stars Jonny Lee Miller as detective Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson in a modern-day drama about a crime-solving duo that cracks the NYPD's most impossible cases. Following his fall from grace in London and a stint in rehab, eccentric Sherlock escapes to Manhattan where his wealthy father forces him to live with his worst nightmare – a sober companion, Dr. Watson. A successful surgeon until she lost a patient and her license three years ago, Watson views her current job as another opportunity to help people, as well as paying a penance. However, the restless Sherlock is nothing like her previous clients. He informs her that none of her expertise as an addiction specialist applies to him and he's devised his own post-rehab regimen – resuming his work as a police consultant in New York City. Watson has no choice but to accompany her irascible new charge on his jobs. But Sherlock finds her medical background helpful, and Watson realizes she has a knack for playing investigator. Sherlock's police contact, Capt. Tobias "Toby" Gregson, knows from previous experience working with Scotland Yard that Sherlock is brilliant at closing cases, and welcomes him as part of the team. With the mischievous Sherlock Holmes now running free in New York solving crime, it's simple deduction that he's going to need someone to keep him grounded, and it's elementary that it's a job for Watson.
Take away the name Sherlock Holmes and what you really have here is The Mentalist or Monk as if done by a cast who had been up for 48 hours without sleep. It's not that different.
The shows tries piling on a few quirks for Sherlock from the outside: he has sex with dominatrices for no good reason; he has/had a drug habit; he's a bit messed up, probably by a woman (or even The Woman); he has a rich dad; he watches lots of tele; he can predict baseball results; and he's good at abductive reasoning (despite all claims to the contrary, Sherlock Holmes doesn't deduce, mes amis).
But if you're expecting the original Sherlock Holmes – a cold, calculating machine, skilled in baritsu, science, music and smoking – you'd be wrong. In fact, the biggest quirk of this Sherlock Holmes – apart from the fact he keeps bees, possibly the only big Holmes reference of the show – is that he's English. He calls people pratts and says things like 'spot on'. Jonny Lee Miller is even putting on a slightly strange, eccentric, posh-boy English accent to ram this point home.
Yes, the ultimate eccentric in the US is one with an English accent.
True, this Sherlock picks up some degree of cool from Jonny Lee Miller's tattoos, but that's about it, which is a shame because Miller has done so well and even given stronger performances in US shows like Smith, Eli Stone and Dexter. Indeed, he could do with a bit more fire in his Sherlock, since his faux-poshness comes across as breathlessness half the time.
Dr Watson suffers a similar problem. She – for John is now Joan – is a failed surgeon who feels guilty for causing a patient's death. She likes the opera. She doesn't like her job, but this police work lark looks like fun, she decides by episode's end. And that's about it.
Even Nigel Bruce had more to work with than that and Lucy Liu, as she showed in Southland, is capable of a lot when give the lines and the character.
So we have the blandest Holmes and Watson yet created, with minimal chemistry between them. Although it's to its credit that you rarely think of Sherlock when watching Elementary, except to think how it's not as good, Cumberbatch and Freeman have more chemistry in their worst scenes than Miller and Liu do in their best.
Moving on to the rest of the characters, Quinn's Inspector Gregson, to his credit, is merely someone smart enough to employ Holmes, rather than the idiot of the books. But we do have an idiot-of-the-week Latino detective to bumble around instead of Gregson, just in case you were worried there.
And that, surprisingly for a CBS procedural, is the cast. It basically all rests on Liu and Miller, doing their best to make the material interesting.
Then there's the plots. There's another old cliché-cum-stereotype: that Americans do crime stories and Brits do mysteries. And that's pretty true of Elementary. Although Holmes does reason his way around in a relatively clever way, it's not that clever. And the story of a pilot – the murder of a rich psychiatrist's wife – is pretty much a by-the-numbers bit of CBS crime plotting, with false success, final clue, twist, etc, exactly where you'd expect them to be. CSI is smarter than this and when the killer's identity, his or her mechanism for killing and the way the crime is eventually solved are revealed, you'll end up thinking CSI: Miami was smarter than this. No one should ever have to think that.
There's certainly no mystery, nothing that made the Doyle stories what they were. There's no secret code à la The Adventure of the Dancing Men, no secret scheme in the style of The Red Headed League, no riddle to be solved as per The Musgrave Ritual. What I wouldn't have given even for a charmed snake that scaled down bell pulls at night rather than this unremarkable, crime story of the week that gets solved in the exact same way as every other CBS crime story of the week.
So it's Sherlock Holmes in name only: characters who aren't really Holmes or Watson solving crimes that aren't really Holmes mysteries in a city that isn't Holmes' city. It has a bit more character than something truly forgettable like last year's unfortunately titled Unforgettable. Miller and Liu are engaging
It's not the worst TV hour around, but when you consider the competition from the fireworks of Sherlock, if not in the ratings but in the cultural zeitgeist, it's a shame that CBS only brought a sparkler to the display.

Alexander Calder, a major sculptor of the abstract movement, was born in Lawton, Pennsylvania, 1898, and passed away in New York, 1976. As a child, Calder enjoyed building things and went on to study mechanical engineering. His engineering background later gave him the knowledge to develop the mechanisms of his sculptures. In 1923, he decided to devote himself fully to art and went to New York in pursuit of fine art studies.
His first freehand drawings depicting athletes, acrobats, and street scenes, which were early indicators of his sculptural style. He drew animals at the zoo and began taking a keen interest in motion, movement, and animation. In 1929, Calder moved to Paris and met some of the most important artists of the time, including Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, and Joan Miró.
Upon seeing Piet Mondrian's colored squares for the first time in 1930, Calder had a genuine revelation. He imagined them floating in space; movement later became the main "material" of his work. He embraced geometric abstraction and produced moving wire sculptures, or "mobiles" as Marcel Duchamp called them. They broke completely with the dense and imposing sculptures of the time as Calder's works are distinguished by their lightness. This marked the beginning of kinetic art; even if Calder's goal was not so much movement yet, but the search for balance, symmetry, silence, lightness, and subtlety.
From 1933 onwards, Alexander Calder's works received critical and public acclaim, particularly his painting "La Fontaine de Mercure", shown at the Universal Exhibition in 1937. In 1952, he received the Grand Prize at the Venice Biennale, and in 1964 the Guggenheim dedicated a major retrospective to him. His influence still resonates in modern days: in 2016, the Tate Modern held a major retrospective on the legendary sculptor.

Konstantin Michailowitsch Slobin (; * 29. Juli 1902 in Birsk, Gouvernement Ufa, Russisches Kaiserreich; † 18. Mai 1973 in Leningrad, Sowjetunion) war ein sowjetischer Theater- und Filmschauspieler.

Leben und Leistungen
Konstantin Slobin wurde 1902 als Sohn eines Buchhalters († 1920) und einer Hausfrau geboren, abweichend vom 29. Juli wird auch der 16. März als sein Geburtsdatum genannt. Er hatte eine jüngere Schwester namens Nina (* 1906), die sich ebenfalls für die schauspielerische Laufbahn entschied und später am Mossowjet-Theater auftrat.

Slobin besuchte von 1909 bis 1912 die Grund- und danach bis 1918 die Realschule. Ab 1919 war er für zwei Jahre am städtischen Theater von Birsk in verschiedenen Funktionen tätig, diente danach bis 1923 als Schiffsjunge auf dem Dampfer Sabijaka und trat anschließend bis 1924 wieder an seiner ehemaligen Wirkungsstätte als Schauspieler auf. Zwischen Januar und Oktober 1924 bekleidete Slobin außerdem eine Stelle beim Volksgericht seiner Heimatstadt. In den darauf folgenden drei Jahren arbeitete er als Bibliothekar für das 57. Artillerieregiment in Perm und zog anschließend nach Leningrad, das bis zu seinem Tod sein Lebensmittelpunkt bleiben sollte.

Ab 1927 ließ sich Slobin beim Leningrader Schauspielinstitut ausbilden, trat aber schon während dieser Zeit am Radlow-Theater auf. 1931, ein Jahr nach seinem Abschluss, spielte er mit dem Josef Schwejk seine erste populäre Rolle. Weitere bekannte Stücke unter seiner Beteiligung waren Die schuldlos Schuldigen nach Alexander Ostrowski und eine Adaption von Nikolai Ostrowskis Wie der Stahl gehärtet wurde. 1942, im letzten Jahr seiner Tätigkeit für Radlow, gab er mit dem Hamlet seine wohl bedeutendste Rolle.

Infolge des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurden die Mitglieder des Radlow-Theaters nach Pjatigorsk evakuiert, während Slobin nach Taschkent gelangte. Hier trat er bis 1943 für Angehörige der Roten Armee auf und erhielt danach ein Engagement beim Leningrader Akimow Komödientheater, das bis zu seinem Lebensende währte. Zu den bekanntesten Inszenierungen unter seiner Mitwirkung zählen Kretschinskis Hochzeit von Alexander Suchowo-Kobylin, Pygmalion und Frau Warrens Gewerbe von George Bernhard Shaw, A Trip to Scarborough von Richard Brinsley Sheridan und Gogols Der Revisor.

Sein Filmdebüt gab Slobin 1938 in А крепость была неприступная (A krepost byla nepristupnaja), einem biografischen Werk über Semjon Budjonny. Mit Михайло Ломоносов (Michail Lomonossow, 1955) war er Jahre später an einer weiteren Filmbiografie beteiligt. Slobin trat in insgesamt 18 Fernseh- und Kinoproduktionen auf, zuletzt im Jahr seines Todes in dem 2-Teiler Открытая книга (Otkrytaja kniga). Überwiegend wurde er als Darsteller in humoristischen und Kinderfilmen wahrgenommen, so in den Märchenfilmen Die Abenteuer des gestiefelten Katers (1958) und Ein uraltes Märchen (1968) oder in Тим Талер, или Проданный смех (Tim Taler, ili Prodanny smech, 1970) nach dem Roman Timm Thaler oder Das verkaufte Lachen von James Krüss. In Перед бурей (Pered burej, 1968), einer Adaption von Maxim Gorkis Die Letzten, hatte er einen Cameoauftritt.

Slobin war mit Klementina Walerianowna Trontschinskaja (* 1907) verheiratet. Er starb in Leningrad und wurde auf dem dortigen Nordfriedhof beigesetzt.

#91 – How to Boost Giving in the Workplace
with Rachel Klausner, CEO & Founder of Millie
Millennials may not be the most fiscally responsible generation, but they are certainly socially responsible and value social impact. So often, friends and family will use social media to raise philanthropy dollars for their cause of choice, which young people will choose to donate to instead of selecting a cause they are passionate about. Founder and CEO of Millie Rachel Klausner realized that she was falling into this pattern herself and wanted to be more thoughtful about where her dollars went. This is where the inspiration for Millie came from.
Based out of Boston, Millie is a charitable giving platform that makes giving back easy and impactful for socially responsible companies of all sizes. Like a dating app, which many millennials are certainly familiar with, all it takes is a simple swipe right to support high-impact nonprofits with your charitable dollars. Whether you are an individual passionate about a cause or a company interested in a charitable dollar match program, the Millie app is a great choice for you.
As a product designer, Rachel was highly interested in a simple user experience when it came to developing Millie's app. This was a key component of today's conversation with her. We also discussed what it was like to expand Millie from a platform focused on individual giving to a new kind of corporate match program, as well as what it's like running a fairly new start-up in the social impact space.

#37 – Exploring, Connecting, and Giving Back through Running with Dave Spandorfer, CEO of Janji
With a simple "swipe right" functionality, the Millie app makes it easy for companies to connect with their team through supporting causes they care about and donation matching
"The country is finally taking a look in the mirror at what we have been doing for centuries, and it's exciting to see it trickle down into companies. We need to double down on giving and aligning with our employees around what they care about." -Rachel Klausner

Once in a blue moon, I'll throw my weight around to get people play a game I enjoy. Most of the time it's because I think it's something they'll enjoy based on what I know about them. This time however, it was out of greed. In particular, I managed to get a group of four newbies into HOTS. Since they played Overwatch, I figured some of them would want a cool skin for Genji, thanks to the Nexus Challenge. I saw it as a way for me to get my recruit-a-friend mount, refer 4 friends and have them reach account level 10. They also were looking for a new (free) game to play as a group. GGEZ, right? I think it's because of the people I surround myself with but I didn't expect my group of newbies to have little to no experience with MOBAs or RTS games. The concept of classes and different roles were not foreign to them, thankfully, as they've played a lot of "Hero Shooters" like Paladins and Overwatch. Luckily, one person in that group played a bit of SMITE. I relied on this individual when my experience clouded my reasoning behind doing things. When everyone was free,we spend the night as a group "gittin' gud" as we got ready for the chase for Oni Genji.
With my cute little newbies on hand, I had them run through the tutorial to get used to Heroes of the Storm's mechanics. We had rough start in the beginning. I wanted them hit the ground running, so I advised the group to run through the tutorial on "Veteran Difficulty". All but one chose to do Veteran, that one accidentally picked beginner and we couldn't figure out how to switch to the other tutorial. It worked out for us in the end because the rest of the group were having a hard time with the last scenario in the veteran tutorial. The last scenario has you playing Zeratul, a stealth assassin hero, with the task of reaching level 10 before the enemy team without dying. To do this, you have to set up ganks or 2v1 scenarios with your other lanes, with you playing as the initiator. Zeratul is permanently stealthed when not in combat but as a trade-off is fragile, so you have to be careful when you engage. It wasn't until after we completed this scenario that I remembered some of my friends experienced in MOBAs had a hard time with this. Overcoming that, they grouped up to tackle some beginner level bots. What came as news to me, you are limited to playing on one map until a number of matches before you are queued into other maps. This was a good move on Blizzard's part. I recall back when I was starting out, the concept of unique maps with unique objectives was hard to get used to. I hovered around until they unlocked more maps to play on before I jumped into the fray.
Unlike my friend who helped get me into HOTS, I'm not that great at the game. In short, I don't have confidence in my ability to rally my team for objective control. I can't correctly judge when to get mercenary camps or who should stay in lane in favor of soaking XP versus everyone scrambling to secure the objective. Not to mention, I have the tendency to get hard on myself and others if mistakes happen. Though, I've been trying to go from a "Play to win" mentality to a "Play for fun". If we win, that's great. If we lose, that's okay too... as long as we aren't trying to sabotage the team. Took the playing for fun mentality to heart as I queued up with these guys. We played on slightly higher leveled bots and everyone had a good time. I made a secondary account to play with these guys just so I could put myself in their shoes. Also took this as a moment to buy/try heroes I've never played before, like Murky or Xul. Our objective control wasn't that great but we were slowly getting better with judgement calls as time went on and did alright in team fights. By this time, everyone had a character they really enjoyed and wanted to get to see how high they could get their character to by the end of the night. If I recall correctly,everyone received the portrait reward for their character at night's end.
Now we're ready for some real games?
Before we ended the night, the group wanted to try quick match games against actual people. Before then, we played a few games with veteran difficult bots to work on our coordination. Other than me directing one or two people to mercenary camps, these group of newbies were doing quite well. I was happy at how well they picked up the game. We played about 4 or 5 quick match games and they were all very close. A fondly remember playing on Braxis Holdout where one of the newbies were playing on Tyrarel and they were left uncontested in bot lane for most of the game. When we were pushed back to our Nexus,the Tyrael stayed with our zerg swarm and pushed to victory while we were under siege with < 20% Nexus health remaining.
In conclusion, I was surprised everyone enjoyed themselves as much as they did. It made me happy that they enjoyed a game I recommended. At first, it was about getting my recruit-a-friend mount no matter what but it quickly turned into making sure they enjoyed the game as much as possible. The mount was just bonus in this instance.

As we move into the carefree Carnival season, Louisianians begin to indulge in rich gumbos, spicy jambalayas, and an ever-expanding range of styles and flavors of the celebrated Mardi Gras king cake. Whether traditional or filled with unexpected ingredients, there are countless varieties to satisfy your sweet tooth. We're sure any of these beautiful desserts will make an elegant statement at your next Mardi Gras gathering.
About five years ago, 2014 Chef to Watch LisaMarie White unveiled a particularly decadent king cake at Domenica in New Orleans. Her resplendent take on the classic Mardi Gras dessert is a feast for the senses: a tender cake stuffed with pastry cream, topped with a praline glaze, salted caramel, and even flecks of edible gold leaf.
As much as we love picking up king cakes from our favorite bakeries during Carnival Season, there's really nothing better than freshly baked. This Chocolate King Cake is a decadent twist on the traditional Mardi Gras treat.
Born in South Louisiana, on the feast of the epiphany, Chef Nathan Richard of Kingfish in New Orleans has Mardi Gras in his blood. The former Thibodaux King of Carnival has been celebrating in his hometown of Thibodaux since birth, and over the years has developed a unique appreciation for the traditions and pageantry of the season that includes this delicious and unique king cake.
A fresh take on a traditional favorite. This Strawberries and Cream King Cake is a must-try.
This Cinnamon-Pecan King Cake will become a Carnival time favorite.
The familiar brioche king cake, plain or stuffed and topped with sugar, is and will always be one of the Bayou State's most fêted culinary treasures. But lately we've had our eyes on the lesser known but equally delicious French king cake: the galette des rois.

Rose water has always been a staple beauty product in my skincare regime. It is beneficial for all skin types and has anti oxidants and various vitamins in it that are helpful in keeping the skin healthy and rejuvenated. Nature's Lap is an Indian skincare brand that promotes herbal and natural products. Today I am going to review Nature's Lap Aqua Rosa Natural Rose Water.
A 100% natural and pure rose water extracted through distillation. Fresh roses were collected from farmers to get this product.
• High quality natural and pure product.
• No preservative, color and essence, scent have been added.
• Freshen up, cleanse, purify and tones the skin and maintain skin natural pH balance.
• Can be used to treat skin infections.
• As it is purely natural so can also be used as an eye drop for a soothing effect to your eyes.
• Apply over skin, can also be used as an aftershave lotion.
• Can be applied on hair, it increases blood flow to scalp, help nourishing hair follicles preventing hair loss.
• Can be used as a natural and gentle facial cleanser .
• Dab on temples and eye area to ward off or soothe headache.
• When cooking, rose water can be used in many sweets and baking recipes.
Nature's Lap Aqua Rosa Natural Rose Water comes in a small clear sturdy plastic bottle with a white flip top lid. The mouth of the flip top lid is quite convenient and dispenses the rose water drop wise. You can easily carry it in your bag without any fear of leakage or spillage. It is a clear liquid and looks just like water. It has refreshing and natural rose fragrance which is really soothing and refreshing to the senses.
I had been a huge fan of Patanjali Rose Water but after trying Nature's Lap I feel it is much better than Patanjali. I use it particularly in my powder face packs such as Iraya Neem Face Pack, Just Herbs Neem Pack, Omved Skin Mask, Nirvaaha Face packs and many other homemade face packs. It instantly gives a nice glow to the skin. It can also be used as a skin toner. It tightens the skin and adds a wonderful glow to it. It feels cool and nice on the skin. I also use this rose water in my Vitamin C serum to keep my skin healthy and clear. I also love using it as my cleanser. I simply pour some amount of rose water on a cotton ball and sweep it across face to remove all dirt and grime off my skin. You can also use it as makeup remover. Pour equal quantities of rose water and baby oil onto a cotton wool and remove your makeup using it. It does not clog pores and keeps skin hydrated. It can also be used as a setting spray. You just need to transfer it in a spray bottle. If you have tired and puffy eyes then simply place cotton soaked in rose water on your eyes for a few minutes. I also love adding two teaspoons of rose water in my bath to get soft and refreshing skin. It can also be used after waxing and as an after shave.
Nature's Lap Aqua Rosa Natural Rose Water is 100% natural rose water and can also be used in cooking, getting relief from headaches, for hair etc. In Patanjali rose water I could see very fine thread like particles at the base but this has never happened with Nature's Lap Aqua Rosa Natural Rose Water which is an added bonus for me. I have not faced any adverse effects whilst using it. It would suit all skin types.
• 100% pure natural rose water.
• Feels cool and nice on the skin.
• Gives a wonderful glow to the skin.
Nature's Lap Aqua Rosa Natural Rose Water is one of the best rose water I have tried. I find it similar to Nirvaaha Rose Water but is better than Patanjali Rose Water. It is a versatile product and keeps skin soft and healthy. It is 100% natural and is gentle on the skin. I would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone!
Have you tried Nature's Lap Aqua Rosa Natural Rose Water? How was your experience? Share in the comments section below!

some of you already know that i was mooting the idea, circa 2006, of having a platform to conveniently and [hopefully] painlessly, get a new business idea off the ground, hook up partners and funds, onto a global network rapidly for R&D, trials, localisation and deployment. some, who were in IBM or SUN then, may not be fortunately employed today.
others know i've been to see the minister of trade and industry about it in Nov 2008, and it has been endorsed as viable. a statutory board representative was put on the project to review and facilitate it. this is an update because i've been asked so many times about progress, that repeating myself is getting to be more stressful than doing an elevator pitch.
i'm in final stages of implementing a crowdsourcing network that links Asia together with its incubators. effectively, that means putting resources where the ideas are. all numbers are in, as well as presentations for non-techies plus the bean counters. project is now in final review before a committee presence is due.
i believe we all believe we have great untapped ideas. i was cleaning up my files circa 2000 and the 20+ business plans then, are likely to still work today, only because the tech is so pervasive and viral. but i realise i can never run even 10 of those businesses in my lifetime, so sharing the business is my mandate.
being the eternal optimist, i picked 7 countries. my close friend and PhD in computer science, Roland, hit me on the head with a beer mug [ouch, it still hurts] and cautioned me to start "small", so it's just 3 countries for now, namely SG, TWN, CN [2 states/SEZs]. we have a letter of support from a large Japanese entity which i'm not at liberty to flash, yet.
if you have an existing or new business that could do with project management on a global scale, let me know. mobile apps, svcs, automation, even ceramic arts or green tech, it wont matter, because the domain expert will be sourced from the world's best, not from a review committee..IF the business makes sense.
if we all put in 30 mins a day of our time [this is NOT some MLM spiel], we can link our ideas to a "factory of resources" for R&D, global production and distribution. venture money will be parked nearer the ideas. that effectively grants us time to pursue our dreams at our own pace.

The teams combines yeast genetics, quantitative imaging, mathematical modelling and microfluidics to understand cellular homeostatic systems at the single cell level, such as the control of cell size, the response to oxidative stress and the control of replicative longevity.
Over the last years, the team has pioneered new microfluidics-based methodology to allow quantitative imaging over multi division timescale in yeast and used this technique 1) to identify a new mechanism of size homeostasis in budding yeast 2) to characterize the dynamics of the transition to senescence 3) to discover and to characterize a new mechanism of resistance to severe hydrogen peroxide stress.

There's been plenty of buzz about Tom Ford lately!
Rather than New York, Tom Ford has chosen London Fashion Week as the home of his second women's collection since his return. Similarly to the last collection, Tom Ford plans to show in an uber-private setting, keeping the masses and cameras at bay. Sources say that the event will be hosted only for monthly magazines, with little other press and industry folk invited.
This will definitely draw some more big press to London fashion week. Last season the "models" in Ford's show included Beyoncé and Daphne Guinness, and without a doubt this show will be looking to trump its predecessor!

F1 Australian GP gets two-year contract extension
Thursday 15th December, 2022 - 5:54pm
A two-year contract extension will keep the Australian Grand Prix in Albert Park until 2037
The Formula 1 Australian GP will remain in Albert Park until at least 2037 with a two-year contract extension agreed between the sport's commercial rights holders and the Australian Grand Prix Corporation.
A new contract was signed earlier this year guaranteeing Melbourne a place on the calendar until at least 2035.
"To have secured what is now 15 years of further tenure for the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne is an outstanding outcome," said Andrew Westacott, CEO of the AGPC.
"It provides so many benefits to our city, our economy and our exceptional events industry, not to mention the aspiration it provides to young Australians pursuing their dreams in motorsport."
Steve Dimopoulos, the MInister responsible for Tourism, Sport and Major Events in Victoria, added: "We're backing a summer like no other with a spectacular offering of major events and activities that encourage Victorians to revel in the best the state has to offer, while delivering more visitors to businesses across Victoria.
"Securing the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix event in Melbourne for the next 12 years is an incredible result that will boost businesses and local jobs, while showcasing the state to millions of spectators right across the globe."
The latest, two-year deal will see F1's tenure in the Victorian capital extend to four decades, having first raced there as part of the world championship in 1996.
As part of the 2035 deal, Melbourne was set to host the opening round of the season in both 2024 and 2025.
That was designed to cover off Ramadan, during which Formula 1 would be unable to race in Muslim countries.
In 2024, Ramadan begins on March 10 and runs through to April 8 – dates that would typically coincide with the start of the F1 season.
The 2023 campaign, for instance, begins on March 5 in Bahrain before heading to Saudi Arabia on March 19 and finally Australia for Round 3 on April 2.
Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, therefore, need to feature before or after the 2024 Ramadan dates.
To simplify the calendar, and the pre-season needs of teams, the 2024 season will start in Saudi Arabia on March 3 before heading to Melbourne.
That would mark a change to the current agreement between Formula 1 for the event, with a two-year contract extension for the Australian GP likely to be something of a contra arrangement to compensate for missing out on the '24 season opener.
Melbourne will still host the opening round of the championship on four occasions between 2025 and its current expiry in 2037.
Interest in Formula 1 locally has surged in recent years, with this year's race enjoying a record crowd.
Tickets for next year's race have already sold out for Saturday and Sunday, while four-day ticket allocations have also been exhausted.
Such has been the interest in the event locally that fans have been warned about scalpers looking to price gouge on the resale of tickets.
