irruptions of doubt and anxiety in a time of transition.
In an effort to understand and work through recent, sudden-onset, unusually intense and recurrent psychophilosophic doubts and dissonance, irruptions of atavistic ideation with associated feelings of anxiety and insecurity that demand focused response, we generate a cognitive map, an astrological chart to identify the root, the underlying cause and condition. Construction of the map is intuitive, an introspective, internally mediated process. Planets in or derived from the radix are stipulated, but all stars, asteroids, and points of other description are included on the basis of inner consensus and resonance. What gets selected for inclusion, what presents to awareness, is itself part of the working through, because it all goes to being here now, who we are, and what we do in gestalt. The chart is assessed overall with respect to the players included, and more may be added, some removed, as we next study transits and aspect patterns, engaged dynamics. In this particular exercise, we find that the onset of irruptions coincided with a Tsquare formed by transiting (TR) Saturn (6th House, H6) at 90° from both the North and South Nodes, from Rahu (H9) and Ketu (H3). Other factors are also at play, adding to the picture.
We use the sidereal relocation chart to frame and assess the issues, resolve outlook and determine course of action. Sidereal is preferred because it works better than tropical, in this context. Similarly, rather than the radix (calculated for the place of birth), the relocation (residence) chart more precisely affords description of and insight into current circumstance and development.
This is an exercise in cognitive mapping. Creation of the chart is internally driven, a guided and cooperative process in gestalt. Though certain rules are closely held, astrological concepts and methods from Eastern and Western schemata are applied with wide latitude.
Saturn is strong, second only to Sun (per shadbala) among the navagraha in the relocation chart. Saturn is Atmakaraka (AK), but we pair it with Pluto, which is planet of highest degree and closely conjunct the AC. Saturn is a FIRE singleton; Pluto is a Cardinal singleton. Jupiter is also a singleton, a Universal; it presents in Shatabhisha, ruled by Rahu, and in pada 3, ruled by Saturn, with dharmic focus in H8. We'll review TRJupiter R too, with impact on self-sense.
All three of these planets currently engage significant chart dynamics by transit, and will be in play over the course of several months through direct and retrograde motion, auguring a prolonged and progressive period of review and revision, trial and transformation. The respective dynamics are shown in the chart below.
TRPluto presents in early Capricorn (H7), pada 3 of Uttara Ashadha, the nakshatra in which the solar principle, initiated at Krittika (locus of the stellium), reaches its peak expression. TRPluto engages a mystic or 'golden' rectangle that links H7, H11, H1 (where resides), and H5. It's working through pada 2 of UAsh, which, ruled by Saturn (H2), is focused on self-assessment, matters of self-worth and identity, going to creative expression of personality in the outer world — in this case, on gestalt expression of plurality as singularity, as a unicity, in context of partnership, relationship (H7) ... transpersonality.
Within the mystic rectangle we find opposing YOD or 'boomerang' kites, which focus at (λ Orionis) Meissa [aka Heka; Heka → ancient Egyptian deification of magic and medicine — cf. Anne Wright for Arabic etymology :: I prefer the Egyptian correspondence] in H12, and a group of identificatory principals, including Chiron R, Hygeia R, and Ras Alhague (α Ophiuchi) [among others shown below, in Focal 2:2] in early Mula, ruled by Ketu, and in H6, going to the psychospiritual, ego-Self relation and identity issues with which we work. All of these principals are deeply resonant, but let's more closely examine Ras Alhague, a focus of immediate interest with regard to these sudden irruptions of unconscious content.
Conjunct Ras Alhague in H6, Chiron R and Hygeia R also go to healing. All three (and more, shown below) present in Mula pada 1, ruled by Mars (H3), related to deep searches and probes going to psychospiritual realization. Mula (deity: Nirṛti) is ruled by Ketu → we identify and work through "the root underlying impulses of all thoughts and actions"; in many cases this means to analyze and eliminate, decathect. Ketu (H3) in Hasta goes to moksha; at this locus it is quintile the H6 group, as well as tredecile Meissa (H12), dealing with unconscious process, apperceiving, receiving, working with the hidden, accommodating the revelatory, as with Uranus (the south pole of which, at 25° 26' 41", is conjunct the Great Attractor in Jyeshtha, where we also find Maasym, Ceres R, and Sabik).
Maasym (λ Herculis) and Sabik (η Ophiuchi), in late Jyeshtha, are included here for reasons similar to Ras Alhague, though they present in a different Nakshatra, sign and house (H5). Maasym was identified by William Herschel as the Apex of the Sun's Way (aka solar apex) and is some 10° from the point currently recognized as such, just SW of Vega. Both with negative portent regarding passions and morals, these two stars also represent strength of character and a focus on creative healing, shamanic. Jyeshtha is ruled by Mercury (as is Ashlesha (H1), locus of Pluto and AC; and Revati (H9), locus of Rahu, Venus, and Vesta); we find Maasym and Sabik in pada 4, ruled by Jupiter (H8), with transcendent objectives. They're conjunct Ceres R, going to self-nurturance, development of the capacity for which, in the gestalt of plural personality, egoic function and immanent presence, serves as predicate for work with others.
Note that the mirror YODS, focused at Meissa and Ras Alhague, and the points of the mystic rectangle show connection by trines, squares, and sextiles to the Pythia|Mars conjunction in H3. The same focus is also seen in the grand sextile formation (shown at lower left in Focal 2:1) engaged by TR ; this grand sextile is the stabilizing, supportive influence in this period of transformation. Pythia|Mars describes divination and creative drive — in Uttara Phalguni, ruled by Sun, it goes to moksha, and in pada 2, ruled by Saturn, it goes to organizational ability — external, yes, but more fundamentally internal, indicating an organizing personality. Note that this Nakshatra is associated with Mercury and the linking of 'soul' and 'intellect' to developmental effect, as well as assisting others in the process: UPha is likened to Sun|Mercury. And we see that Pythia|Mars trines the stellium in Krittika.
At lower center in Focal 2-1, TRJupiter R (H4) forms one leg of a YOD kite, with Juno (H2) the other leg, Narcissus and Neptune R (H3) at apex, and focus at Vesta (whom we read as self-sense — daughter of Saturn and Ops; Gk. Hestia, daughter of Kronos and Rhea) in Revati, ruled by Mercury, deity is Pushan (the Nurturer, solar, a psychopomp), focus is moksha, in pada 4, ruled by Jupiter (H9). TRNarcissus was recently conjunct Vesta, further emphasizing the significance of this formation. In Vishakha, ruled by Jupiter, we find TR R in pada 3, ruled by Mercury, with dharmic focus. Retrograde TR directs psychospiritual attention inward, here in examination of true channeling, high order communication, the transpersonal, as opposed to,or in contrast with narcissistic compensation in grandiosity, self-inflation and fixation. The objective is clear hearing, clear seeing, clear communication.
Lastly, we look at the TRSaturn Tsquare Nodes formation (shown in simplified form at lower right in Focal 2-1), and in greater detail in Focal 2-3. Our rede is that this critical dynamic will be engaged over the course of a year and more as Saturn transits exact conjunction through repeated direct and retrograde motion. The fundamental workthrough, here, is Pallas R, indicating an inwardly directed self-analysis in gestalt on matters of Rahu and Ketu, desire and release, relative to egoic evolution in relation with immanent presence and multiple principals in gestalt. Most significant from my perspective, inasmuch as this period is seen as transitioning from the monastery to the world at large (or perhaps achieving capacity to see no real difference between them), is the locus of Pallas R (H4) in Swati, ruled by Rahu, in pada 4, ruled by Jupiter, indicating that the most practical orientation is to 'go with the wind' — deity is Vayu (and Saraswati).
As we've seen, the direction is practical application of skills and abilities, continuing the work. TRSaturn presents in Purva Ashadha, focused on moksha, ruled by Varuna, a god of the oceans. Though not shown in the charts, we find Varuna in the last few minutes of Ashwini, ruled by Ketu (H3), pada 4, dharmic focus, in tune with collective consciousness, awareness of the needs of others, empathy... — within 1° of the MC in Bharani, ruled by Venus (H9), in pada 1, ruled by Sun — self-focused art as a process of working-through. Ashwini and Bharani are both in Aries (Mesha), H10, ruled by Mars (H3), in Virgo (Kanya), under Mercury.
Sigma Scorpii and Tau Scorpii together bore the traditional name Al Niyat (or Alniyat) derived from the Arabic النياط an-niyāţ meaning "the arteries (of the scorpion)" and referring to their position flanking the star Antares, the scorpion's heart.
Sigma Scorpii is a star system with a combined apparent magnitude of 2.88. It is approximately 568 light years distant. The brightest star in the system is a spectroscopic binary star, composed of two unresolved stars that orbit each other with a period of 33.01 days.
The name Al Niyat (or Alniyat), which the star shares with Tau Scorpii), comes from the Arabic an-niyāţ, which means "the arteries." The two stars mark the arteries around the scorpion's heart.
Tau Scorpii is a hydrogen fusing dwarf star with a strong, complex magnetic field. The star has the stellar classification B0.2V.
It is a hot star, with a mass 15 times that of the Sun and a radius more than six times solar. It has an apparent magnitude of 2.82 and is approximately 470 light years distant. The star is about 18,000 times more luminous than the Sun.
Shaula is the second brightest star in Scorpius and the 25th brightest star in the sky. It is approximately 700 light years distant from the solar system.
Lambda Scorpii is a multiple star system with three visible components, Lambda Scorpii A, Lambda Scorpii B, and Lambda Scorpii C. Lambda Scorpii A is a triple star system composed of two class B stars and a pre-main sequence star.
N Jupiter, North Pole of equator.
In Focal 2-3 we find a septile (30°) chain: Ketu (H3) to Pallas R (H4) to Alniyat (H5) to TRSaturn (H6).
Pallas R (H4) is quincunx Rahu (H9), indicating analytic scrutiny of doctrine and objectives. H9 Lord is Jupiter (H8), trine Pallas R: analysis goes to transformation, enlightenment.
Also important, illustrated in Focal 2-3, are the kite formations with the stellium (H11) and (alpha; Serpentis) Unukalhai|Agena (β Centauri) as central axis — Krittika :: Vishakha|Anuradha. The Anuradha focus is particularly apposite in description: work within to act without — a theme not unlike that which we find at the MC, in Bharani (with artha as primary motivation, rather than dharma). IC is in Swati, proximal Pallas R, also with artha as primary motivation. And we have the Artha Saham conjunct Alniyat.
It should be noted that the kite formations share the central axis stellium (H11) ↔ Unukalhai|Agena (H5), so we have foci in opposite directions, serving as a kind of developmental pump, group to actor, role develoment and performance, and actor to group, performance and redevelopment.

Iran sentences Belgian national to 40 years in prison, 74 lashes
Jan 11, 2023 iran, Middle East, News, prison
Relations between Iran and Belgium have increasingly soured following the arrest of an Iranian diplomat in 2018 over bomb-plot allegations.
Tehran, Iran – A court in Iran has sentenced a Belgian national to a total of 40 years in prison, dozens of lashes, and financial penalties for spying and other charges.
Former aid worker Olivier Vandecasteele received the preliminary sentences, which can later be appealed, on four charges, according to the official news outlet of the Iranian judiciary.
For each of the main two charges, namely spying for foreign intelligence services and "cooperating with the hostile United States government against the Islamic Republic", he received 12.5 years in prison.
For "professional smuggling of foreign currency" in the amount of $500,000, Vandecasteele was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison, 74 lashes, and a $1m fine.
Lastly, he was found guilty of laundering the money he is accused of smuggling, for which the Tehran Revolutionary Court decided on a 12.5-year prison sentence.
Vandecasteele, 41, has been imprisoned in Iran since February. His family said last month that he received a jail sentence of 28 years.
Last week, the semiofficial Tasnim news website quoted an unnamed source claiming he entered Iran "under the cover of humanitarian efforts with the aim of spying for the hostile US government and distributing money to groups active in anti-security fields".
Vandecastele denied all the charges. Belgian authorities have previously condemned Vandecasteele's imprisonment, calling it "illegal".
Tehran has been accused of imprisoning foreigners and dual nationals to use them as political bargaining chips, a charge it denies.
Relations between Iran and Belgium have increasingly soured following the arrest of an Iranian diplomat, Asadollah Assadi, in 2018. He was accused of leading a bombing plot in France.
Iran and the West have also intensified their rhetoric against each other. since protests erupted across Iran in mid-September following the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the country's morality police for alleged non-compliance with a mandatory dress code for women and subsequently died in police custody.
Tehran and the European Union have also imposed sanctions against each other.

Royal Birkdale, one of golf's most renowned venues and a regular host of The Open Golf Championships, has installed three Remeha boilers at its famous club house.
Situated in Southport, on the golden links land of England's 'Golf Coast', Royal Birkdale prides itself on the outstanding facilities it offers its visitors, both on the course and in the club house.
So when the time came to replace the old, inefficient boilers, contractor Senate (Mech) Ltd. recommended installing Remeha boilers to meet the key requirements for improved heating reliability and efficiency.
"We recommended Remeha because of the quick accessibility of the products and spare parts, which is backed up by excellent customer support," said John Rigby, Director at Senate.
Previously, the club house had relied on heat only boilers and gas-fired generators for its heating and hot water generation. The decision was taken to replace them with three energy-efficient Remeha Quinta Pro 90 condensing boilers. These provide reliable space heating in addition to heating the newly-fitted calorifiers to ensure a plentiful hot water supply.
Working with PSD Building Services Consultants Wirral, Senate installed the three Remeha boilers on a wall-mounted cascade system.
Operating multiple boilers in cascade configuration is a rapid, high-quality solution to achieving greater reliability and higher efficiency – the main concerns at Royal Birkdale.
The Remeha complete cascade systems use smart gas and hydraulic connection technology for quick and easy assembly, reducing on-site 'hot works' and disruption. This was an important consideration as the Club was keen to minimise any downtime during the system replacement.
As Royal Birkdale prepares to host The 146th Open, the new Remeha boilers are fully operational and delivering the required high performance. For Royal Birkdale, this not only means more reliable heating and hot water provision, but the prospect of reduced energy bills in the months ahead.
Rob McNeill, Chairman of Planning at Royal Birkdale, expressed his thanks to PSD, Senate and their supply chains for the understanding, guidance and competence shown with this installation. "We had high intensity service requirements and everyone involved with this installation has not just met but exceeded our expectations."

Q: iis 7 worker process memory leaks / hangs From my diagnosis the worker process stops responding randomly, the server becomes very slow with 100% cpu utilization. I'm not certain but I think its because of w3wp.exe process which is my app pool.
At this time, no websites respond, I have to restart IIS in order to make it work. Mostly the IIS restart / MSSQL restart does not work (error stating services are not responding) and I have to restart the entire server.
I don't understand if this is a Memory Leak / Crash / IIS Hang issue. I have installed DebugDiag from Microsoft.com & created dump files however unable to understand what the analysis results are that mention max time consuming threads etc.

Server -
  Windows Server 2008 SP2
  MS Sql Server 2008
  IIS 7

I recently upgraded from windows server 2003 to windows server 2008 / mssql 2005 to mssql 2008 and this issue was persisting in the old server as well, so I'm certain its one of my applications being mischievous.
Thank you so much for reading through my issue. You help will be greatly appreciated.

A: The nice thing about IIS7 is that you can use Failed Request Tracing and Runtime Service Control API (RSCA).
At the top level, go to the worker processes icon, then drill into your worker process and see which page is running the longest.  That's likely the cause.  Once you've narrowed down to the appropriate page,  then turn on Failed Request Tracing in IIS7 at the site level.  Set it for just the bad page.  Once you've captured a page running poorly, the .xml results can hopefully help point you in the right direction.

When you go green you don't have to hurt your wallet, and it doesn't take a lot of time either. There are numerous changes that you can make to help the environment. Read this article to learn how to use green energy to your advantage, while making long lasting impacts on the environment.
Think about getting solar powered lamps for outdoor lighting. These lamps require now power source, except the sun, and are generally inexpensive. This doesn't merely save energy. You will not have to hook up the lights to an electrical source.
If you use fuel oil to heat your home, a technician can give you information about changing over to biodiesel. Many systems can use biodiesels without any modification. Biodiesel runs more efficiently, burns more clean, and costs you less during the winter.
A solar oven can be an easy and free way to bake. You can make one with easy-to-find items like old windows, boxes, and aluminum foil to reflect light. They don't use any outside energy and can get up to 300 degrees.
Keep an eye on how many watts of electricity you use. If you do not know the formula to figure out the energy each appliance uses, there are tools like a Kill-A-Watt that can give you the information instantly. Plug your appliance or gadget into the watt-checking device, and it will tell you how much the unit consumes in energy in one hour, month or year. This lets you know how much it costs to operate an appliance.
Everyone can enjoy the benefits of going green. The main benefit is that it can make a real change in the amount of money spent on bills.

Every now and then, I come across people on social media who vent their frustrations over not seeing the results they want from following a HIIT programme, whilst others are posting impressive 'before and after' photos to show how it has transformed their bodies. I for one can really relate to this, because based on the amount of training I put in week by week, I should have certainly transformed into a Victoria's Secret model by now, which obviously, I am not (although I really can't complain!) This made me think why some people aren't seeing the gains they have expected – are we wired that differently in terms of how we respond to HIIT, or does it come down to factors that are within our control?
I will reveal my findings shortly, but first things first, let's take a brief look at what HIIT aka High Intensity Interval Training is, and what all the hype is about!
HIIT is a training method whereby you perform short bursts of very high intensity exercises, before resting and then repeating. It has become a really popular form of exercise, partly because it is easy to fit into your day – you can have an intense and effective workout for a shorter period of time, rather than needing to spend hours training in the gym. Another reason is that HIIT is fantastic for fat loss and building fitness remarkably quickly – these workouts have been shown to increase your calorie burning capacity significantly, in comparison to steady state exercise, such as running. The best thing is that this continues even after you have finished working out, too! This is down to the fact that your body is in a big oxygen deficit after a hard HIIT session. In order to replenish this lacking oxygen, your body needs to keep working throughout the day, which results in additional caloric expenditure (you may have heard about the term 'EPOC' aka Exercise Post Oxygen Consumption).
After all, I am not surprised why so many gyms have started to crop up over recent years, specialising in HIIT.
Rule number one: eating well is always an important element, no matter what type of training you do! Phew, I know that this is a difficult one to swallow, and I have to admit that I often struggle in this area.
I could easily write a separate post just on this topic, but for now, just going to stick to the headlines: focus on getting enough lean protein, hydrating well, eating real food instead of processed ones, eating most of your carbs after your workouts, being sensible with your portion sizes and keeping your calorie intake in check.
Of course, one bad meal will not jeopardise your progress, and likewise, one good meal will not help you get nearer your fitness goals. It is all about forging long-term positive habits, and sticking to them!
It might take some time to get your eating right. Doing an honest food journal, learning to read the food labels and learning to cook, or employing some method of portion control could be a good way to start.
The clue is in the name – HIIT is meant to be really intense and hard! However, this means that it may be difficult to perform HIIT properly. Unfortunately, some people (especially those who most need the benefits) are simply not able to exercise at that intensity. Imagine me instructing an overweight and poorly conditioned client to do sprints on the treadmill– not only might they struggle cardiovascularly, but they might not have the co-ordination to perform the exercise properly, potentially leading to injury. In other words, you've gotta be fit enough to 'survive' a HIIT session!
For the rest of us, who have no such physical limitations, putting ourselves into the 'pain cave' and pushing ourselves outside our comfort zone, is not something that comes naturally. This can lead to performing HIIT at sub-optimal intensity. One important rule of HIIT – don't hold back on the effort, until it is your rest period!
Talking about rest periods, this brings me to my next point. The whole session should feel hard, so recovery periods which are too long between exercises can be counter-productive to achieving the desired outcomes. There are many different factors that can determine the ideal work-rest ratio, such as the total duration of the session, the type/number/order of exercises performed, the length of the high intensity bouts, the levels of your fitness and so on. My golden rule is to have as little rest as I can get away with, to catch my breath, and to get ready to perform the next exercise at my best effort. Besides, rest periods do not need to be 'complete rest' periods, they could be 'active recovery' exercises such as static holds, for example the plank, to minimise 'idle' time.
As the saying goes, you can have too much of a good thing. Building on my previous point about intensity, HIIT is designed to be a hard session, therefore it places lots of stress on the body. For this reason, taking time to recover properly between sessions is crucial in order to ensure that you are prepared to give your 100% the next time as well. As some of us very well know, overtraining and under-recovering can lead to burnout both mentally and physically speaking. Just to chuck even more colloquialisms at you: sometimes, less can be more, and it is always about quality, not quantity!
You may be doing other forms of training between your HIIT sessions, for example, I do lots of running and occasional weight lifting. If you do heavy leg sessions or hill training, you should not expect yourself to perform HIIT at your full ability the next day –ouch! (Perhaps, easier, low intensity steady state workouts might work better on the days that follow.) Therefore, spreading out the HIIT sessions and strategically planning what you are going to do each day in advance will help you avoid overdoing things, and come back feeling strong for your next HIIT session.
On the flip side, the issue may be that you are not doing HIIT often enough. When it comes to working towards specific goals, consistency is king. Doing HIIT only once in a blue moon is not going to make much difference in the long run, it is generally recommended that you perform up to 3 HIIT sessions a week for about half an hour per session to be able to see results.
There is a fair amount of research out there about the optimal time to train. For example, a study in the British Journal of Nutrition has shown that people who do more cardio based training in the morning could potentially burn 20% more fat. An intense session in the evening will of course still raise your metabolism the same way, so you will continue to burn through the calories, however, you will be mainly targeting all the food you eat in your sleep…which hopefully is not a lot! According to studies published in the Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, evenings are best kept for strength work and lifting, as the majority of us are stronger in the evening, with the anaerobic capacity being about 7% higher.
If you ask me, my view is that putting research aside, it all boils down to what works best for you – if you feel great in the morning, then do your HIIT training then, conversely, if you prefer evenings and feel more energetic, then hit the gym before bed time. Choose a time to train which fits your lifestyle, that way you are more likely to stick with your training plan! I personally like to train first thing in the morning, before work, so there is less chance of talking myself into skipping my session later on, as I start to feel mentally tired, sluggish, and wanting to spend my time binging on Netflix instead.
Selecting exercises and equipment for HIIT workouts can be a deal breaker or deal maker.
An effective HIIT workout should always include a fair number of big, compound moves to maximise your time and hi(i)t your whole body. I would especially focus on using the larger muscles groups in the lower body, as this will get your heart rate up considerably.
Some exercises have a better place in other type of workouts – for example, situps, planks or press ups are not explosive or intense enough for a HIIT session, unless you use these as a form of 'active recovery' (as I mentioned earlier) or ramp up the intensity whilst performing these moves, but not at the cost of good form and technique.
There is no need for complicated moves or excessive equipment – the main thing is that you should be able to accelerate to top speed quickly and decelerate just as fast, to avoid wasting precious time.
Hopefully this article will help you reflect on what you could be doing better or differently so that you can nail all your HIIT sessions going forwards, and get the most out of them!
Have you got any top tips for how to get more out of HIIT? Let me know in the comments!

What Is the History Behind LASIK and How Long Has It Been Performed?
LASIK is a laser eye surgery performed with precise and controlled removal of corneal tissue with a special laser to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. The cornea is the part of the eye that helps focus light on the retina; this bending and focusing of light is known as refraction. Refractive errors produce blurred vision and can be caused by aging of the lens, the length of the eyeball or changes in the shape of the cornea. LASIK serves to reshape the cornea to restore clear vision.
What is the history behind LASIK and how long has it been performed? LASIK was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 1999 but originally dates back as far as the 1940s. It is amazing to see the advances in eye surgery in just under 100 years. In 1948, an ophthalmologist in Columbia named Jose Barraquer Moner became the doctor responsible for the first surgical solution to vision correction. He originally used a scalpel to reshape the cornea but eventually began using a microkeratome to shave off tiny segments of tissue. He perfected the procedure of cutting a flap into the cornea to change its shape and this process is still the basis of modern LASIK techniques. In the 1980s, an ophthalmologist in Russia named Svyatoslov Fyodorov invented a new technique called radial keratotomy that was considered an early precursor to LASIK by making tiny cuts in the cornea to reshape and correct nearsightedness. However, results were not long-lasting due to this type of procedure with improved vision remaining for as little as 6 months and up to 10 years. LASIK today is considered permanent with decades long results, replacing radial keratotomy as the prime choice for vision correction.
In 1998, the FDA approved the first laser for LASIK surgery for the manufacturer Lasersight Technologies. A microkeratome device was used to create the corneal flap in the first step of the procedure. The LASIK process begins the same way today as a small flap is cut and folded back and then a precision laser is used to reshape the cornea. Although the basic technique is the same as in the 1940s and 1950s, LASIK surgery methodology continues to be refined and improved upon with advancement in technology, helping to provide the best possible outcomes while reducing the risk of complications.

Lypheng Kim – Hispanic Food & Culture in L.A.
¡Hola! Me llamo Lypheng (Lee-peng). Yo soy un estudiante a USC. Estudio biología humana. Me interesa la comida del mundo y yo creo que la comida puede curar el alma y reunir a la gente.
The fine line between appropriation and appreciation!
The term cultural appropriation has often been referred to an action committed by individuals or groups who choose to dress themselves in attire or headdress that are not related to their ethnic or cultural background. In addition to that, it can refer to individuals or groups who wear or style their hair a certain way that undermines the historical context of why that hairstyle came about in the first place. These examples include individuals who choose to wear cornrows or durags for the sake of fashion or an attempt at being hip and stylish. It also includes individuals who wear Japanese kimonos or a war bonnet at Coachella to also try to look cool or stylish. While these examples are important to address, cultural appropriation and these examples are not mutually exclusive. Cultural appropriation also exists in the food and service industry.
There have been recent incidences where cultural appropriation has been called out in relations to food. Take Bon Appétit for example. This food and entertainment company is known for posting mouth-watering videos of food and trendy places to visit. They posted a particular video back in 2016 which caused an uproar amongst the Vietnamese and Asian American community. Bon Appétit audaciously posted a video addressing its audience that "PSA: This Is How You Should Be Eating Pho." On top of that, they went so far as to call it the "new ramen." This sparked conversations of cultural appropriation for many of the individuals of the Asian American community. Many felt that it was disrespectful for a white chef in Philadelphia, who owns a restaurant named Stock, was telling the audiences how one should consume Pho while also making a blanket statement that pho is the new ramen. The offense is not that he is a white chef who knows how to cook pho nor is it a problem with Bon Appétit showcasing pho to the public. The root of the issue is that when a white male chef chooses to tell the public how one should consume a food that does not even belong to his culture, it is offensive. It erases the experiences of what it means to be Asian American, especially Vietnamese American.
This example subjects us to consider where other forms of cultural appropriation of food takes place and who should cook and represent the food of the culture. Certainly, a white chef should not be the representative of the food of the culture. He or she does have the ability to cook the food of the culture and can profit off of it if he or she so chooses to put it out in his or her menu. However, the chef does not have the right to assume that he or she is the expert in the that culture's food. A prominent individual who is known for this is Chef Rick Bayless. He has been the face of this debate on whether a white man should be the representative and expert on cooking Mexican food. Chef Rick Bayless has immersed himself in Mexican cuisine. He has learned the language and has profited from the food. He has in a way translated Mexican food for the audiences who are not familiar with this type of cuisine. He has elevated Mexican food, but he is not the only chef to do that. Just like Professor Krishnendu Ray stated, "Translation is a food and an interesting thing. Not all translation is a colonizing act. But all translation is a kind of a loss." It is a loss where Bayless tries to cater to the more anglo audiences and whitewashes the food that he believes that he is an "expert" in.
While I believe that it is justifiable for a chef to cook food from another culture that he or she is not a part of, it is not justifiable to disregard the historical context and dismiss the audiences who are outraged or question their intentions. In an article by The Atlantic on the discussion of cultural misrepresentation of dining hall foods, the writer addresses many points. One that stuck out the most was when the article describes the misrepresentation as a "mixing and matching and intermingling and borrowing and stealing and creating new traditions out of whole cloth" and that it was the beauty of America. Just because this country has been built on slavery, stealing and genocide, it does not make it okay to continue to steal another individual's culture to simply benefit it without acknowledgement. Aside from this, the discussion in The Atlantic article does bring up valid points, especially in relations to dining hall food on college campuses. It is imperative to acknowledge that the chefs behind the dining hall food are working, at times, at minimum wage. They are not as privilege, as Chef Rick Bayless, to go out of the country to have a culturally immersive experience. Food being misrepresented even occurs on USC's campus. I can remember during my sophomore year when a dining hall advertised that they were offering sushi and it turned out to just be a bowl of rice and seaweed with meat. It occurs in the food court such a Fertitta Hall where they serve pho but it tastes nothing like pho. Even the noodles weren't correct. On one hand, I understand the sentiment brought on by the students of Oberlin College, but on the other hand, I agree that the workers who are making the food on college campuses are not on a even playing field in terms of knowledge about other culture's food.
Much like Professor Portnoy puts it in Chapter 4 of her book Food, Health, and Culture in Latino Los Angeles, columbusing is "a term Peterson defines as 'the act of reckless and thoughtless appropriation (typically by rich white people) of a thing that has been around for years or decades (a thing that usually belongs to non-white people).'" This is the case with food, not all, that exist on college campuses and many other places that serve another culture's food. The point of all of the discourse on cultural appropriation of food, especially Mexican cuisine, is that chefs who do not belong to that culture should have respect for the culture first. They should do their research and engage their critics and explain why they have chosen to focus on that cuisine. In relations to Professor Portnoy, she may not be Latina, but she has shown respect and has done her research on Latin food. More importantly, she has credited Mexican chefs and have not claimed that she is the expert on a culture's food.
La comida fusión existe en todo el mundo. En los Estados Unidos, la comida fusión es una reflexión importante de la historia de la inmigración. La comida fusión es un tipo de comida que utiliza diferentes estilos de cocinar y de técnicas de sus culturas. Por ejemplo, mi primera exposición a la comida fusión fue la introducción de un burrito de sushi de regreso en Filadelfia. Fue interesante ver que los aspectos de ambas culturas se casó en algo nuevo, pero familiar. Este sentimiento es cómo yo pienso sobre la comida fusión. En Los Angeles, hay mucha comida fusión. Pero, ¿Por qué hay mucha comida fusión en Los Angeles? En el video con Bill Esparza un escrito y periodista, él explica que, "Los Angeles does have its own cuisine that really is defined by all the people that have come here." Su comentario explica la historia de inmigración y la diversidad que existe en la ciudad. En general, la comida fusión en Los Angeles simboliza el crisol de culturas. A través de este crisol de culturas, nuevas cocinas inspiradas el uno por al otro emerge.
Su comentario desafió la forma en que pensé acerca de la comida fusión y si lo que se come es realmente la fusión o simplemente una inspiración debido a los efectos de la globalización y la inmigración. Especialmente en los Estados Unidos, nuestra país realmente es un crisol de culturas.
Con esta cantidad de información, decidí visitar 23rd Street Café, un restaurante que sirve la comida india. Cuando me acerqué al lugar, ya podía oler el aroma de curry impregnando la calle. Aunque la mayoría de su menú no es fusión, tienen una sección sobre su fusión burrito. Pedí el burrito de pollo al curry, que tiene curry de pollo, arroz, frijoles, cilantro y salsa. El curry tenía el gusto familiar a cúrcuma, hojas de kaffir y chiles mientras mezclado en el arroz y los frijoles de un burrito mexicano. Mientras yo comía y analizaba el burrito, pensé en la historia de chiles y cómo llegó a la India. Según la lectura de la profesora Portnoy y el profesor Pilcher, ellos hablaron de la historia de la introducción de chiles a la cocinas de la India, el sudeste asiático, y partes de China. Este pensamiento arrojó mas pensamientos sobre cómo la globalización afecto al curry camboyano y las influencias de chiles en la comida china. En general, pensé el burrito de pollo al curry fue riquísimo. Sin embargo, estoy en acuerdo con el comentario por el chef Avila. La razón es porque si pensamos sobre la historia de chiles a la India, ¿Podemos pensar en el curry como una forma de crisol o fusión, ya que utiliza los ingredientes de culturas diferentes? Pienso que la comida india tiene potencial para evolucionar más fusión creaciones como samosas con sabores inspiradores en mole. Hasta ahora, pienso que los sabores y el concepto del burrito con la fusión de la comida india funciona bien. Pienso que los ingredientes en el curry es una reflexión de globalización por los europeos y historia de chiles de Latinoamérica. Como la lectura de la profesora Portnoy y el profesor Pilcher, es importante que reconozcamos el papel que los medios sociales tienen sobre cómo la gente descubre los alimentos, incluyendo la comida fusion.
Yo soy una mezcla de dos grupos étnicos – Chino y Camboyano. Mi mamá es étnicamente china y culturalmente camboyana porque ella nació en Camboya pero sus padres son de china. Mi papá es étnicamente y culturalmente camboyano.
Mi familia es de un distrito noreste de la capital, Phnom Penh que se traduce a La Montana Llena. El nombre del distrito es Krong Suong. Vivíamos allí hasta que tuviera siete años. Mi familia practica la religión budismo de Chino y Camboyano. Hay diferencias en ambas religiones. Ambas religiones son una gran parte de nuestras vidas, incluso hasta ahora. Porque mi familia practica ambas religión y tenemos ambas culturas para celebrar, la comida que consumimos se convierte en parte de nuestra identidad y personalidad también.
Gran parte de mi niñez consistía en consumir la comida que mi mamá hizo y cómo ella expreso su amor para mi hermano y yo con su cocinar. En ambas culturas, tenemos nuestra versión del tamal mexicano. Similar a las mujeres aztecas que prepararon tamales para festivales, las mujeres camboyanas prepara una comida se llama num ansom chek durante un festival de Pchum Ben, que es un festival religioso de 15 días. Este festival ocurre en el 15 dia del 10° mes en el calendario camboyano al final de la cuaresma budista. Num ansom chek está hecha de arroz pegajoso, plátanos maduros, hojas de plátano, coco rallado, y sal. Hasta esta dia, todavía es uno de mi comida favorita para comer. Se puede cocinar al vapor o a la parilla después de cocinar al vapor. También, el relleno puede tener otras frutas como la jaca.
Otro festival que celebramos es Bon Chole Chnam Thmey, que es un festival para dar la bienvenida al año nuevo. En este festival, la gente come num ansom chrouk. Num ansom chrouk está hecha de arroz pegajoso, frijol "mung" sin la cáscara, panza de cerdo, cebolleta, sal, pimienta negra, leche de coco, coco rallado, azúcar, "pandan" en la forma líquida, y hoja de plátanos. Normalmente, se cocido al vapor y lo puede comer como es o fríalo en piezas después.
Para un parte interesante, hay una comida que puede ver es una mezcla de ambas etnias. La comida se llama zongzi en china o num chang en camboyano. Esta comida tiene el otro nombre como arroz pegajosas de bolas de masa hervida o sticky rice dumplings. Esta comida se puede comer durante del festival Duanwu o el festival del barco del dragón. Zongzi se cocido al vapor o se hierve por muchas horas. Zongzi tiene muchas variaciones para el relleno como el hongo, jamón, cerdo, pollo, verduras, salchichas de china, o la castaña. Este plato también esta en hojas grandes o hojas de bambú o plátanos.
Un puesto en un mercado que elegí fue Villa Moreliana. Este puesto vende tacos, especialmente carnitas tacos. Este puesto representa la cocina de Michoacán, un región en México. Michoacán es conocido por las carnitas, un tipo de cerdo cocido lento. En el caso de la cocina mexicana, las fronteras que dividen los Estados Unidos entre México hacen poco para impedir la influencia de la comida. Aunque existen fronteras, todavía hay influencias culturales que la comida mexicana tiene en los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, también hay los alimentos regionales que vienen de México sino que existen en los Estados Unidos.
La comida del puesto se puede relacionar con lo que dice Anderson sobre "core" y "periphery" porque Los Ángeles es un "core" y las comidas y los restaurantes étnicas son los "periphery". Los Ángeles es un centro de ricos ingredientes que importa y esto permite que muchas de los grupos que existen aquí para utilizar y crear su comida étnica.
Mi experiencia de LACMA fue interesante. Fui allí solo porque yo había estado enfermo una vez más. Como resultado, no fui capaz de ir con la clase. Sin embargo, yo estaba entusiasmado de explorar la exposición y aprender mas sobre "Spanish Fantasy Past".
Fui a la taquilla y me dieron mi boleto. Después, le pregunte al trabajador: "¿Dónde esta la exposición sobre México y California?" Él sabía exactamente lo que yo estaba preguntando. No tenia expectativas de entrar y especialmente no sabía cómo se suponía que debía proceder a observar las obras de arte y la información. Pero, logré aprender.
En la exposición, yo aprendí mucho sobre cómo Hollywood afectó la decisión de la clase rica de diseñar sus casas. También, en relación a "Spanish Fantasy Past", yo vi dos imágenes distintas. Por ejemplo, la cubierta de la novela Ramona por Helen Hunt Jackson representa este tema. En la descripción de la cubierta, aprendí que esta novela influenció a muchos lectores a visitar los sitios a los que hacía referencia y veía películas basadas en ella. En relación a Ramona, en el capítulo uno de la profesora Portnoy, ella dice: "[the novel] awakened an interest in the decaying, neglected Spanish missions and their history and led to the Anglo fascination with the early Californios, an interest that emphasized a Spanish, past and whitewashed the Mexican one" (Portnoy 17).
Otro ejemplo que vi fue un mural por Dean Cornwell. En el mural, los obreros trabajaron mientras los padres dirigieron y rezaron. Este mural omitió los conflictos y la resistencia que se habían producido en el momento.
En un parte del museo, yo vi la pintura casta. La pintura casta me recordó el colorismo y la idea de que el blanco es siempre mejor y superior. La pintura casta es un ejemplo primordial de elevar un grupo sobre otro y podemos verlo jugar en la sociedad. Por ejemplo, en telenovelas, muchos de los actores son pálidos y de piel clara.
El tema de "Spanish Fantasy Past" se puede ver en los lugares y restaurantes que visité en el pasado. Por ejemplo, cuando visité El Cholo, el diseño del espacio atendía a los turistas y daba un ambiente de lo que seria como comer en México en un edificio de adobe. Además, los platos tienen frases como: "El Cholo A Taste of History". Esta frase funciona para recordar a los consumidores que lo que están consumiendo y el gigantesco tamaño de margaritas que ordenó son auténticos. Desde mi experiencia, creo que el restaurante ofrece una experiencia a los consumidores que lo que están comiendo son familiares y auténticos. Según la profesora Portnoy, es una institución "white-washed" que trata de acomodar a los consumidores que piensan que es todo lo que hay para la comida mexicana. Por ejemplo, ella dice: "Alejandro and Rosa served dishes associated with Northern Mexico that were familiar to Anglo diners such as tamales, enchiladas, and our tortilla" (Portnoy 19). Este tema se puede ver en Calle Olvera. En los ambos lugares, En ambos lugares, hay una mezcla de turistas y lugareños que frecuentemente consumen los productos y alimentos ofrecidos. Basado en el concepto, pienso que Calle Olvera es auténtico. A pesar de que tratan de acomodar a los turistas, creo que la gente del lugar tratar de mantenerlo tan genuino como sea posible. Según la profesora Portnoy, autenticidad es "something dynamic that varies depending on available ingredients, changes in technology, social class, and the influences of trade and travel" (Portnoy 21). Estoy de acuerdo y también creo que la región refleja el resultado de cómo la comida sabe y se presenta.
Sólo he tenido la comida cubana una vez. En ese momento, no pensé mucho en ello. Pero esta vez fue diferente.
¿Qué piensas de cuando alguien dice 'comida cubana'? Lo que viene a mi mente fue el cubano – un sándwich cubano con variación de jamón, puerco, pepinillo, mostaza y queso suizo entre un pan cubano. Pues, para este excursión, quiera probar otro los platos tradicionales. Pero antes de probar la comida cubana, quería entender la historia y los ingredientes que están en la comida. En mi investigación, encontré que la cocina cubana tiene muchas influencias – una mezcla de taino, chino, africano y el caribe. También, hay ingredientes comunes que incluyen la salsa de tomate, sofrito, cebollas, ajos, orégano, papas, arroz, ají, y otras especias.
El Colmao es un restaurante cubano que está situado al norte de campus entre la avenida Vermont y el bulevar Pico en una plaza con otras tiendas. A nuestra llegada, el restaurante estaba brillantemente iluminada con ventanales grandes. El restaurante estaba vacío y el diseño era como una cafetería – 'diner'. Habían espejos en ambos lados de restaurante y en el lado donde estábamos sentados habían autógrafos de jugadores de béisbol.
La mesera saludó y se acercó a nosotros. Después de tomar nuestras ordenes de bebida, nos preguntó si estábamos listos. Le pregunté a ella, "¿Que recomiendas, específicamente la comida cubana tradicionales?" Ella sugirió algunos platos y estuvimos de acuerdo con sus sugerencias.
Primero, pedimos croquetas de jamón como nuestro aperitivo. Eran ligeramente diferente. Por ejemplo, estoy acostumbrado a comer croquetas que tienen una forma de una pelota. Estas croquetas de jamón eran largas y cilíndricas. Eran delicadas y crujientes en el exterior y suave y cálida en el interior. Sin embargo, eran un poca demasiadas saladas. Si no fueran tan saladas, podría comerlas todo el día. ¡Creo que pueden ser adictivos!
Originalmente, queríamos ropa vieja. Era tan popular que no tenía más. ¡Qué triste! Está bien. Siempre puedo volver. Para los platos principales, pedimos boliche mechado, cala de res o rabo, pollo 'el colmao', plátanos fritos o maduros y moros cristianos. ¡Era un montón de comida!
El rabo o la cala de res eran muy tierno y tenían muchas sabores. Era nuestro favorito. El rabo fue cocinado en una salsa criolla cubana con papas. Después, el boliche machado fue un cuete relleno con chorizo en una sala criolla cubana también con un lado de arroz blanco. El sabor era similar al rabo pero la carne estaba un poco seca. Pienso que este plato fue cocinado en un horno porque cuando ella sacó el plato, estaba muy caliente. El pollo 'el colmao' fue un pollo sofrito en una salsa criolla cubana. Era muy tierno también y jugoso en la salsa. Me gusta los maduros porque eran dulce, suave y crujiente al mismo tiempo. Finalmente, los moros cristianos fue muy sabrosos. Tenían carne de cerdo y frijoles negros en el arroz.
Al final, nos divertimos probando toda la comida. ¡Recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera, especialmente el rabo! Este establecimiento se ha abierto durante más de medio siglo y es debido a la comida. ¡Le sugiero que vengan a probarlo pronto!


I'm on my feet again.
It took some time but here I stand.
I'm learning how to fill my lungs again.
But nothing's gonna change who I am.
Nothing's gonna change who I am.
I'm nothing but a broken man.
Only you can change my mind.
I'm on my knees again.
I pushed you out, now I'm caving in.
From all the weight of all this life I've lived.
Cause nothing's gonna change who I am.
Can there be hope for me tomorrow?
I know I lost it yesterday.
Any grace left for me to borrow?

University of Limerick Symposium on the European Dimension in Irish Education
On 10-11 May, the Minister of State for Skills and Further Education, Niall Collins T.D., and the Minister of State for European Affairs, Thomas Byrne T.D. will both participate in the University of Limerick's two day symposium on the place of Europe in the Irish education system.
The symposium, which takes place on the 50th anniversary of the referendum to pass the third amendment to the Irish constitution permitting the State to join the European Communities, is being supported by both Departments as part of the Government's EU50 programme of events organised to mark 50 years of Ireland's EU membership. The event is also part of the University of Limerick's own 50th anniversary programme UL50.
Noting that members of the EU transformed Ireland's skills policy development, Minister of State Collins said:
"This transformation served to emphasise that the EU was not just predicated on the economic forces underpinning a single market, it wanted to strengthen the capacity and skills for all to benefit in the emerging context. It is also worth noting that this was accompanied by a complementary regulatory framework designed to set standards around conditions of employment and other equality dimensions."
Minister of State Thomas Byrne said:
"I am delighted to participate as a keynote speaker in this week's symposium on the European Dimension in Irish Education. I am looking forward to the discussion on the role that education plays in teaching the young people of Ireland about Europe. Almost six years on from the Brexit vote, and as we look towards the next 10, 20, 50 years of our EU membership, a reflection on the place that the EU occupies at all level of our education system is a timely and important one. I welcome that the current holders of the Presidency of the Council of the EU and our closest neighbours in the EU, France, are also part of this discussion today as indeed are many international stakeholders as well as my colleagues in the Department of Education and the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science."
The University of Limerick symposium has been part funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs Communicating Europe Initiative and has also received support from the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science; the European Parliament Liaison Office, Dublin; the European Commission Representation, Dublin; the Irish Humanities Alliance; the Irish Association for Contemporary European Studies; the Higher Education Authority; and the Embassy of France in Dublin.
Further detail on the symposium is available here.

Агнес Линниа Мартина Энгстрём (; род. 2 апреля 1981, Упсала, Швеция) — шведский государственный и политический деятель, член шведской партии зелёных. Она была членом Европейского парламента в период 2014—2019. С 2019 года работает в качестве программного директора в Морском попечительском совете.

Биография
Энгстрём получила степень магистра политических наук в Шведском колледже национальной обороны. До того, как стать членом парламента ЕС, она работала координатором по вопросам гендерного равенства в главном офисе партии зелёных и была членом правления Зеленого форума. Она работала над помощью развития, направленного на Россию, Грузию, Беларусь и Восточную Европу.

В преддверии выборов в Европейский парламент в 2014 году Энгстрем была на пятом месте в списке Экологической партии, однако, на выборах партия зелёных получила всего лишь четыре места, но после того, как лидер партии зелёных Изабелла Лёвин была назначена министром развития Швеции, Линния Энгстрём заменила Изабелла Лёвин в Европарламенте и стала депутатом Европарламента в октябре 2014 года.

Перед выборами в Европейский парламент в 2019 году Энгстрём выразила желание продолжить свою работу в Европарламенте, однако, комитет по назначениям партии зелёных решил не включать её в свой список кандидатов.

Работа в Европарламенте
Энгстрём была первым заместителем председателя Комитета по рыболовству и депутатом-заменой в Комитете по окружающей среде, общественному здравоохранению и безопасности пищевых продуктов, Комитете по правам женщин и гендерному равенству и в делегации по связям с Китайской Народной Республикой.

В своей работе в Европейском парламенте она сосредоточилась на политике ЕС в области рыболовства, которое имеет большое значение для торговли, а также на проблемах климата и феминизма, справедливого распределения ресурсов и климатической политики. Она отвечала за формирование законодательства в таких вопросах, как торговому флоту ЕС можно и нужно вести устойчивую рыбную ловлю в водах более бедных стран, так называемое «положение о разрешении FAR-рыболовства». В середине апреля 2016 года началась работа над данным законодательством, и 12 декабря 2017 года президент Европейского парламента подписал новый закон, новое название которого было «Устойчивое управление внешним рыболовным флотом ЕС». Закон обозначает большую прозрачность и подотчётность с внешним рыболовным флотом ЕС.

Энгстрём была инициатором и докладчиком первого доклада Европейского парламента о женщинах, гендерном равенстве и климатической справедливости. В результате доклада была опубликована резолюция в январе 2018 года, и в нём содержится призыв серьезно отнестись к проблеме изменения климата. В резолюции поднимается проблема климатических беженцев и того, что забота о климатических изменениях требует учета гендерной проблематики. В резолюции также дается определение климатической справедливости, в которой женщины и дети наиболее уязвимы для последствий изменения климата, и говорится, что крайне важно инвестировать средства в женщин в наиболее уязвимых странах.

В мае 2016 года Энгстрём дебютировала в роли писателя с книгой «Климатический феминизм». В книге рассказывается о борьбе за климат с борьбой за более справедливый мир. «Королева-рыба: рецепт устойчивого будущего» — её вторая книга, выпущенная в мае 2017 года. В ней рассматриваются проблемы с шведскими морями и рыболовством.

Demi Rose Makes 'Pastel Pit Stop' in Sunset Ibiza Photos
By Kyle Phillippi - January 16, 2021 02:11 pm EST
Demi Rose Mawby continues to live it up in Ibiza, this time sharing a little side trip she made on the Spanish island with the backdrop of a gorgeous sunset. Rose posted a photo of herself on Ibiza Magic Island, a common setting for her photos, that saw her making a "pastel pit stop." She also tagged the items she wore, which was courtesy of the Pretty Little Thing collection.
Rose followed that post up with another post from the same location and same Pretty Little Thing wardrobe. The photoshoot was uploaded over the weekend as Rose continues to rack up the Instagram likes and build up her massive social media following. The model, who moved to Ibiza last year, has become one of the most powerful influencers on Instagram thanks to her bikini-clad candids and breathtaking backdrops. The 25-year-old routinely clocks in at more than half a million likes on her photos as her following climbs across the 15.6 million mark.
A post shared by Demi 🌹 (@demirose)
Speaking with The Evening Standard, Rose talked about her dramatic rise to fame. She admitted she was bullied at a younger age before eventually finding herself a popular figure in school. That ended up carrying over big time as her Instagram following kept climbing up. Rose, who has experienced tremendous loss at a young age with the death of both of her parents, said she always "dreamed' of becoming the girl everyone wanted to be with.
"The popularity now just absolutely blows me away," Rose told the outlet. She still says she doesn't believe how far she has come over the years as she first begun to get serious about her social media page when she was 15 but really saw things take off the past few years. She's hoping to use her platform now to inspire others and provide comfort for those going through similar traumas.
In that same interview, Rose explained her decision to move from London to Ibiza. Admitting that things got tough for her mentally, the 25-year-old realized she needed a change and that moving to Ibiza was the right move for her. She eventually made the move once the lockdown was lifted in the U.K. and in the months since, feels it has been "one of the best decisions" she has ever made. Rose now is aiming her sights on continuing to grow her modeling portfolio while also becoming more influential in inspiring others who are going through grief just as she did.

Gold and silver have continued along their respective, extended declines on Wednesday as few factors were able to move precious metals spot values much. The continued surge exhibited by the US Dollar is preventing gold and silver from doing much of anything, and has been for the past 5-7 days.
Last week's run of positive economic data out of the US as well as the decision reached by the European Central Bank at their policy meeting are two events still affecting the precious metals market this week.
Gold and silver started off the beginning of last week on the decline. In the lead-up to the European Central Bank meeting there was plenty of economic data released, most of which helped boost the US Dollar and hurt the spot values of gold and silver. The first piece of data released was the GDP report for the 3rd-quarter. While it was expected that annualized GDP for the third quarter would increase somewhere around 2%, the actual report showed that annualized GDP for the US in the third quarter had risen by 2.8%.
Later in the week, on Friday, October's employment report was scheduled to be published. The market had expected to see non-farm payrolls increase by about 120,000, though actual figures showed an increase of roughly 204,000. Both reports, the GDP and employment, translated positively for US stocks and the Dollar, but hurt the spot prices of gold and silver. The fact that the ECB decided to cut interest rates also helped the US Dollar simply because the news caused a decline in the euro currency.
Now, investors are growing more confident in their belief that the US Federal Reserve will be forced to taper Quantitative Easing before the end of 2013. Up until now, most Fed members who opposed tapering opposed it on the grounds of inconsistent economic data out of the US. With the US economy emitting the impressive statistics it has been over the past few weeks, it seems as though it is only going to be a matter of time before the Fed alters monetary policy. It must be noted that many investors are pointing towards the FOMC's December policy meeting as a possible time for monetary policy change.

There was so much love at this Howard County Conservancy Wedding in Woodstock, Maryland! These two knew each other for years before falling head over heels for one another, and the admiration and respect they have was shining through all day. My favorite moment was Bruke and Jocelyn's first look. Jocelyn surprised Bruke by having a brick engraved with their initials and wedding date- how sweet is that?! The brick was placed in the conservancy's garden and was unveiled to Bruke during their special first look moment. Bruke was beaming with excitement at her surprise! Nice job, Jocelyn! 😉 I also loved how the couple's dogs, Tucker and Caroline, were part of the bridal party! Cuteness overload!


All Brands Have Voices. What's Yours?
Seth Godin: What does branded look like?
So, Just what does being a brand look like?
1. Someone who isn't even using it can tell, from a distance, who made it. It appears that it could only be made by that producer (or it's an illegal knock off).
2. In the long haul, successfully branded items succeed because the user likes that the brand is noticed in daily use, either by others or even by themselves. That's subtle but crucial. Does the very existence of the logo or the identifier or the distinction make the user happier? Can you imagine how crestfallen the debutante would be if her date didn't even know what a Birkin bag was?
"The most successful brands are the ones that can create true value, build a relationship with their customers and give them tools that, at the end of the day, make the brand irreplaceable."
In today's overheated world of 24-7 marketing hype, buyers of all types are seeking AUTHENTICITY in making their choices. You don't have to look further than the success of sites like YELP, Trip Advisor, or the review sections of Amazon to realize that we are all looking for the "real inside stuff" when determining where we are going to spend our money.
Why does AUTHENTICITY in a brand matter?
2. Building trust through being authentic builds brand loyalty.
3. Being authentic is easier. Being who you really are is always easier - and, often less expensive - than pretending to be something you're not.
So, whatever you are, your company, or your brand is....be sincere. Be honest.
Your customers will appreciate it more than you know.
Are you selling a product? Or, a brand?

iOS: There are plenty of alarm clocks and timers for the iPhone, but Wake combines a simple look with useful tools that make setting and customising alarms easy. Don't be fooled by its design: behind that interface are features that make sure you get up on time in the morning.
The video above does a great job of showing off some of Wake's most important features. I've been using the app for a few days now, and it couldn't be more intuitive. Setting an alarm is as easy as running your finger around the circle that surrounds the time display. Tap the hour to quickly set the hour, then the minute to set the minute you want to wake up. You can tweak which days of the week the alarm is set to go off, and you can set multiple alarms for the app to keep track of. The app even has a night mode, so you can use it as a clock next to the bed.
When the alarm does go off in the morning, you can snooze by tapping the front of the screen or turn the alarm off by flipping your phone face-down on the nightstand. Alternatively, you can tell Wake to make you shake your phone before the alarm turns off, making sure you're up and moving around. In the settings, you can control how hard you have to shake your phone, the snooze duration, alarm volume and other app features.
The only downer is that Wake has to be the front-running app when you set your phone down at night — since it won't run in the background, it can't sound the alarm if it's not the last thing you see when you turn off the screen. Wake is normally $2.99, but it's on sale for $1.99 right now to coincide with its launch. Hit the link below to grab it from the iTunes App Store.


Jennifer Lopez doesn't really care too much for 'adventures and drink', but she loves a good meal.
Speaking as part of the Paper magazine's Las Vegas series, JLo posed in divine bustiers by The Blonds and Rocky Gathercole as well as in shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti, Christian Louboutins and Jimmy Choo.
JLo admitted that she has to 'stay on regimen' when she's in Vegas.
'The name of the show is All I Have, so I can't be like, 'Tonight you're getting half,' you know. You can't do that,' she said.
JLo, who is mother to nine-year-old twins Max and Emme, admitted that she's not particularly wild.
'I don't do that stuff. You know what I mean? I'm here to dance and the wildest thing I've done is, oooh, I danced 'til 4. You know, that was it,' she said.
The On the Floor hitmaker feels 'lucky' to be a mother to twins and loves the "special connection" her kids have with each other.
She told Paper magazine: 'Well, I tell the story of I Hope You Dance and why I put it in the show, but it was really about me wanting to do something for the kids and dedicate something to them. Really, the thought was, 'How do I put something in there that they can see years from now and it would mean something to them?' And that's why I picked 'I Hope You Dance'.
'Yeah, that whole section has become about my kids, and I put the boy and the girl dancer in it to represent Max and Emme and how special it is to have that twin connection and how special it is to be a mom of twins and how they follow each other all through life and when one is gone, or takes off on his own for a little while, the other one gets a little lost, and then they find each other again.

✨Spice up your cooking with essential oils! ✨ Think essential oils are just for aromatic or topical purposes? Think again! With Young Living's Vitality essential oil line, you can go from home cook to culinary artist with easy, elevated dishes! Create mouth-watering recipes that'll have your family and guests coming back for seconds! Tips to get started: A small amount of essential oil can make a huge impact on flavor in any dish. Keep in mind the following tips when using essential oils in your recipes: + Essential oils can be great substitutes for fresh herbs, citrus zest and juice, and spices such as oregano, lime juice, or ground clove. + Essential oils are potent. We recommend using only 1-2 drops at first, or even the toothpick method when cooking with essential oils (Stick a toothpick through the oil dropper to absorb the oil, then swirl the toothpick through wet ingredients. Give it a taste and gradually add more flavor to your liking.) + Knowledge is key to a successful recipe. Always read the essential oil label before creating your tasty dishes! Cook smart in the kitchen: Cooking restaurant-quality dishes can be time-consuming and expensive—but it doesn't have to be that way! Spend less time in the kitchen and enjoy your flavorful meal using Vitality essential oils and these helpful tips: + Replace hard-to-find ingredients with a Vitality oil. For example, instead of buying coriander from the spice section, use Coriander oil! + Get the most bang for your buck. You need only small amounts of essential oils in your recipes, so you can recreate dozens of new dishes from the same bottle! + Spend less time cooking and more time savoring every bite. Cut down your prep time, including washing, chopping, and slicing ingredients, and add oils instead. + Savor the fresh flavor with each essential oil use. Have you ever made a dish that calls for a single sprig of rosemary, but grocery stores only sell fresh herbs in bulk? Dried herbs and spices quickly go stale, while Vitality oils retain their powerful flavor.
Do you find yourself living pay check to paycheck? Do you find yourself not having enough time to do the things you truly love? Do you find yourself wishing you didn't have to work so hard for just enough? I posted a recent video about this topic in my Why not ask for billions free Facebook group and gave tools to receiving more than enough. One of the greatest tools is knowing that you have the POWER to change YOUR financial reality. You can change your wealth consciousness. It does take vulnerability, truth, being willing to look at the points of views you have about money, receiving money and having more than enough. Not running away from anything is the gift you give yourself.
The CRAVINGS are real tonight!

It is so important to celebrate our personal victories and mile stones so that together we can go further. I run, it's my thing, I've done it for a long time. But the important question is; what's your thing? Don't worry about comparing your thing to mine rather take encouragement to challenge yourself and write the next chapter of your story. And remember! My doc and I have a great relationship where we together manage my meds. Do not ever adjust your meds without first consulting your care provider.

I could answer it one T H O U S A N D ways..... I want to be my best self for my family I want bring my husband home more often To pay off debt It is so rewarding I never want to relive how I felt in 2015 It's absolutely the most fun I've made the most amazing friends I just want to help and serve others The quality of the entire company and their products But the best way I can answer "Why are you still sharing #plexus ?" is this is bigger than me. I am completely in awe of what the Lord can do with a company that just wants to serve others. I'm so thankful to be a part of it all. 🙌 And it all started with my lack of energy levels! What will your starting point look like?
