Hashtag 'I do': Internet-ordained ministers increase in Cincinnati
Millennials, LGBTQ couples appear to drive numbers

Wendy Adams performs the wedding ceremony for her sister, Jenny Paffe Shapiro, in the spring of 2017.

By: Kevin Eigelbach | WCPO contributor
Posted at 7:00 AM, Jan 08, 2018
CINCINNATI -- When Jenny Paffe became Jenny Paffe Shapiro in the spring of 2017, she didn't hire a minister to perform the ceremony. She asked her sister, West Price Hill resident Wendy Adams, to do the job.
Adams was not a minister and didn't have a license to perform marriages in Ohio. She's the director of IT at a Cincinnati branding company. But via the internet, within a matter of minutes, she became ordained as a minister with the Universal Life Church, based in Sacramento, California.
She is one of hundreds of locals who have obtained minister's credentials online from churches that specialize in this kind of thing. It seems to be a trend, especially among millennials, who tend not to belong to a church or have a pastor they feel close to.
The ordination was free, but Adams purchased from the church a basic set of credentials. It cost $10 to get a license from the state of Ohio, making the total cost of her ordination less than $30.
"I was shocked at how easy it was," she said.
Once she had her credentials, she used the "vow generator" on the church's website to print out a sample set of wedding vows. After her sister modified them, she pasted them into a pretty book for the ceremony.
She wore a plain black dress for the ceremony, which took place in her sister's backyard during an afternoon barbecue. Most of her family members didn't know she was officiating until just before she began.
"It was very nerve-wracking to do it, even though it was family," she said.
She has no plans to market herself as a wedding officiant, she said, but would do it again if a good friend asked her.
In Ohio, the secretary of state's office issues licenses to people who want to perform marriages. All that's required is the fee and a copy of credentials with a religious society or organization, said Press Secretary Sam Rossi.
The office doesn't determine what constitutes a legitimate religious society or organization, he said. He also didn't know of any organizations that call themselves a church that the office wouldn't recognize as such.
The office website lists 1,683 members of the Universal Life Church licensed to perform marriages who live in Cincinnati. Another popular internet ordination organization, American Marriage Ministries, has 359 licensed officiants in Cincinnati. A third organization, Open Ministry, has 66.
Universal Life Church bills itself as the world's largest online religious organization. Its website boasts of several celebrities who have become ministers in the church, including Conan O'Brien, Paul McCartney and Lady Gaga. The church has just two creeds: do what's right and respect the religious freedom of others.
Charlie Kay, the church's administrator, said that in 2017 the church was on track to ordain nearly 400,000 people, which would be a nearly 15 percent increase over 2016. He expected that about 20,000 of them would be Ohio residents.
That's exciting, he said, because Ohio has been one of the more difficult states for Universal Life ministers to operate in, because unlike most states, it issues licenses to perform marriages at the state rather than the county level.
The increase in ordinations in 2017 is consistent with increases over the past five years, he said.
Much of that growth has come from young people who don't have a church home, he said. If they haven't had regular interaction with a pastor, they might not see the appeal of hiring the pastor versus having someone they know and love do the job, he added.
Another source of growth has come from gay and lesbian couples, who may now legally marry but might have trouble finding clergy willing to perform the ceremony. In the days after the Supreme Court decision in June 2015 that legalized same-sex marriage, the church ordained 15,000 new ministers, Kay said.
Most people get ordained to perform ceremonies for loved ones, he said, but others actually become ministers at bricks-and-mortar churches.
"We often heard nowadays that we are living in 'Generation DIY,' where people are striving to solve their own problems and answer their own questions, and that DIY spirit indeed seems to be stretching as far as religion and marriage," Kay said.
In 2015, there were about 225,000 ministers ordained by Seattle, Wash.-based American Marriage Ministries, and now there are about 500,000, said Outreach and Operations Manager Brittany Tipton.
Aside from people getting ordained to marry loved ones, her church also sees wedding professionals such as photographers, caterers and wedding venue owners get ordained. They do this in case a professional officiant has to cancel at the last minute or can't make the ceremony because of inclement weather.
How does American Marriage Ministries try to differentiate itself from other online ordination churches? By staying active in various communities, doing such things as sponsoring events for the LGBTQ community, Tipton said.
"We don't just want to be an ordination mill. … We want people to understand how important what we're doing is," she added.

the Road Toad
Sometimes the Joes suffer serious damage to one of their vehicles, and need a heavy duty tool to pull it out of whatever devastated battle front it was left inoperable in. Whenever this happens and the vehicle is salvageable, the Joes break out the Road Toad.
The Road Toad is itself a towable platform with a heavy duty winch attached, which allows it to pull a damaged vehicle onto itself so that both can be hauled to safety. It is heavily armed as well, in the event that the enemy is still sniffing around.
The Road Toad has the following, built-in capabilities:
Buzz Missiles (i): mounted on the side of the Road Toad's puncher cannons, these two wire-guided micro-missiles add a bit of extra 'punch' when under heavy fire. They're small but effective, inflicting intensity 9 damage, raised by one if both are fired simultaneously:
Passenger Platforms: the Road Toad has one seat - for the gunner / winch operator. However, several other people can ride along with it, assuming they hold on tight. There's room for two Joes on the sides of the Road Toad, and two on the rear (as long as it's not towing anything).
Puncher Cannons (a): these dual 25mm guns are the Road Toad's main offense, recoilless cannons its operator can use should the Road Toad come under fire. They can fire short bursts to inflict the gunner's Agility +6 in damage, raised to +7 when fired continuously.
Stump Puller Winch (s): this 250 BHP motor is powerful enough to haul most of the Joes' ground vehicles onto the Road Toad, not counting huge rides like the Mobile Command Center or the Defiant's crawler, though the heavier ones will take longer to drag on ('strength' of 16).

Protips For Renting a Luxury Portable Toilet in Meyersdale, Pennsylvania!
While having any big event you probably think that dining and entertainment are going to be your biggest concern, but any smart host should know not to forget the ever essential need of restrooms. There's a large variety of porta potty options available for everyone and it is vitale to get a solid understanding of the factors that are involved in renting the right one. Below are just a few options to consider when selecting a vendor to rent your portajohn or portable toilet trailer from for your upcoming event.
Regardless if you're hosting an indoor or outdoor occasion, if you intend on having greater than a few dozen attendees then you'll need to start thinking about portable toilet options. How upscale your event will be, how many attendees will be coming and the length of time the event will be are the main factors determining what kinds of portable toilets you're going to need. It's a good idea to spend some time in researching the vendor you rent from to guarantee that you'll have the complete of options you want for your get together.
A portable restroom is simply a contemporary outhouse that is a contained outdoor stall for guests to utilize whenever they need to. The truth is there are many high class portable toilet options that can be rented, not just those you would find at work areas. More upscale portable toilets can be found at special events or at big weddings. The last thing anyone wants is their event getting ruined by a porta potty issue, so it's vitale to inquire about response times in case of a spill or emergency.
Your basic porta potty will be constructed of of plastic, feature a single stall and will contain toilet paper along with some type of hand sanitizer . Porta potties can also be rented with a outdoors hand washing sink, where soap and paper towels are included. Because portable toilets do not use the usual plumbing, it contains powerful deodorizing substances to disinfect and manage waste . The substances are the blue liquid found at the bottom of a stall, and if you are renting for a long time, then you might want to inquire about removal and refill services.
One of the most important decisions to make prior to renting is to determine how many portable toilets you will need for your guests. The rule of thumb for porta potty amounts versus crowd size is that you will need one stall for every ten employees, if you are using them on a construction area or longer term project. For private events or special occasions, the general rules is to have at least 2 stalls per 50 attendees, although this number can go up if there is a substantial amount of refreshments involved. For bigger, such as a wedding or concert with hundreds of guests, you could easily be looking at dozens of stalls required.
It's also important to ensure that guests don't have to travel too far to use the portable toilets, but also to make sure they aren't too close to sensitive areas. For most occasions, it makes the most sense to place porta potties off to the side in places that won't see a lot of regular foot traffic, that way it doesn't interfere with regular activities. Keep in mind that the porta potty toilet stalls will need to be between 20 and 40 feet of access area for a pump truck to come in if you intend to empty their contents before you are finished using them. You'll also need to make sure they aren't placed too close to dining or food related areas, as you don't want potential odors to impact your guests.
Prior to making your choice you will benefit from having an understanding of the different types of options that come with your porta potty rental. A basic portable toilet comes with with a few sanitary amenities like toilet paper, seat cover, a holding tank, dispenser, and door lock along with indicators. You could even spring for a deluxe portable toilet that has a flushing option and additional amenities like air fresheners or running water with a sink. Some of the options you could go with include more upscale portable toilets with hand soap dispensers, washing stations and mirrors. VIP self-contained porta potties have all the amenities that are listed above along with an interior light.
There's a few points that influence the cost of mobile toilets. The costs of mobile restrooms with more sanitary options is increased when compared to a standard porta potty. Next, the amount of time will also play a role in the cost of acquiring portable restrooms, and the more days you need them for, the higher the fees will be. The fee will also change depending on the distance the rental company needs to go to deliver the units to your event, so you might want to go with the business that is closest to reduce transport fees. At times companies will give you a price reduction if you've rented from them several times before as well. Regardless what rental service you select for your portable toilet needs, now that you are informed on the basics of the rental process you'll be prepared to ask the right questions and the enjoy the best prices.


ASM deficiency (ASMD), also known as Niemann-Pick A and B disease, is a rare genetic disorder in which reduced activity of the lysosomal enzyme, ASM, leads to the accumulation of sphingomyelin primarily in macrophages throughout the body. This deficiency results in characteristic features such as hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, interstitial lung disease, growth retardation, coronary artery disease, fatigue, and in severe cases, neurodegeneration with death in early childhood. There is no specific treatment for this disease. This Phase 1 safety study will seek to enroll a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 30 eligible adults patients with ASMD with each patient participating for approximately 7 weeks.
Female patients of childbearing potential must have a serum pregnancy test negative for β-hCG and agree to use a reliable birth control method for the duration of the study.
Is unwilling or unable to avoid the use of alcohol, medications that may decrease rhASM activity, medications or herbal supplements that may cause or prolong bleeding, and the use of medications or herbal supplements with potential hepatoxicity within 14 days prior to and 28 days afte the rhASM infusion.

Columbus at Vegas NHL Lines & Betting Prediction for Tuesday
Written by Kenny Bell on January 23, 2018
The NHL's All-Star break is this weekend, so it's a very busy schedule on Tuesday with 24 of the league's 31 teams in action. Probably the marquee matchup is a potential Stanley Cup Finals preview as Columbus makes its only visit – and first ever – to expansion Vegas. The Golden Knights are almost unbeatable at home and solid NHL lines favorites.
#CBJ franchise first: a practice in Vegas, baby pic.twitter.com/GqRwXG4Zar
— Columbus Blue Jackets (@BlueJacketsNHL) January 23, 2018
When: Tuesday, 10 PM ET Where: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas TV: NHL Center Ice, FSOH, AT & TSN Stream: NHL.tv Radio: 97.1 The Fan (Columbus) / 98.9 FM (Vegas) Opening NHL Lines: Vegas -160, Columbus +145 (5.5)
I'd love to give you some history between these teams, but this is their first-ever meeting. Columbus hosts Vegas on March 6. They didn't even play in the exhibition season.
Latest NHL Lines Trends
Columbus is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games
Columbus is 2-7 SU in its last 9 games on the road
The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Columbus's last 8 games
Vegas is 13-2 ATS in its last 15 games
Vegas is 16-5 SU in its last 21 games
The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Vegas's last 13 games
Why Bet on Columbus?
The Jackets (26-18-3) came out of their bye week last Thursday and ended a two-game skid with 2-1 shootout win over Dallas – then got four more days off. Artemi Panarin scored the shootout winner vs. Dallas. Since his goal came in the shootout, his four-game point streak came to an end. Nevertheless, the Blue Jackets' forward has 12 goals and 38 points in 47 games this season. The Russian has scored five goals on nine shootout chances this season, which tops the NHL in scoring percentage. It's a major advantage for Columbus, which leads the NHL with a 12-0-3 record in games that go beyond regulation – including 6-0-3 in nine shootouts. Joonas Korpisalo stopped 35 of the 26 shots he faced. Korpisalo also stopped Alexander Radulov, Jason Spezza and Tyler Seguin in the shootout to earn the victory. Korpisalo is now 5-4-0 on the year with a 2.85 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage. He has won three of his last five games. It probably will be No. 1 Sergei Bobrovsky back in net here, though. The Jackets could get back winger Cam Atkinson on Tuesday. He hasn't played since Dec. 23 due to a broken foot but is traveling to Vegas. If Atkinson doesn't come back Tuesday, then perhaps he'll be ready by Thursday's game against the Coyotes in Arizona. He has 13 points (six goals, seven assists) through 32 contests after a huge 2016-17 season got him a big contract extension.
Goals: 2.68
Shots: 33.83
PP/PK Percentage: 13.14
Why Bet on Vegas?
Vegas (31-11-4) is battling for the most points in the league and has a nice lead in the Pacific Division. The Golden Knights come off a 5-1 win in Carolina on Sunday. Colin Miller notched a goal and two assists to lift the Golden Knights to the top of the NHL standings. Miller had not recorded a point in his previous eight games. Vegas is now within two wins of tying the record for expansion team wins. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 27 of 28 shots in the win. Fleury is 11-3-2 this season with a 1.68 goals against average and .946 save percentage. Former Blue Jackets center William Karlsson is among the NHL leaders with 25 goals. Karlsson, who was selected by Vegas in the NHL expansion draft last summer, had a total of 15 goals in 162 games in two seasons with Columbus. Now, he's one of the NHL's biggest breakout stories. The Blue Jackets sent their 2017 first-round pick and 2019-second round pick to the Golden Knights to have them absorb David Clarkson's contract and to ensure they didn't select Josh Anderson, Jack Johnson, or Korpisalo at the expansion draft. That left Karlsson exposed and he was subsequently drafted. Karlsson had primarily been used in a bottom-six capacity with the Blue Jackets, spending most of the 2016-17 season as their third-line center. With Karlsson on the ice, the Golden Knights take 54.92 percent of their shot attempts. Many of their shot attempts are quality chances, as reflected by his team-leading 58.21 expected goals for percentage; those chances are translating into more scoring than what's expected (64.91 goals for percentage). Jonathan Marchessault is scoring at more than a point-per-game pace. David Perron has been the perfect fit for the offense and James Neal, Reilly Smith and Erik Haula have supplemented the offense with 30-plus point campaigns. Meanwhile, the defense has been solid, led by castoffs such as Nate Schmidt, Shea Theodore, Brayden McNabb and Miller. Top to bottom, the roster has performed at its peak. Vegas boasts the third-best goal for total, sixth-best goals against total and a league-leading 29 regulation or overtime victories. Overall this season, the Vegas blue line has produced 106 total individual points, which is in the top percentile of the NHL, and top four among teams in playoff position. When it comes to point distribution, the Golden Knights get (25.67%) of team offense from their backend.

Actor, Celebrities, Director, Film
Steve Kenny, Director of Time Traveller, Sits with Just Celeb Mag for an Interview
Posted by Editor on November 14, 2018 November 14, 2018
Time Traveller is a short film showing the Travelling Community through a different perspective. We had the opportunity to talk with Steven Kenny, the director, about this wonderful film.
Hi Steven, how are you doing?
I'm great thanks, and you?
Great, congrats on Time Traveller, your latest short film. Where did the idea for this film come from?
I had wanted to tell a story set in the Travelling community for a long time. Most on-screen portrayals of Travellers tend to focus on the more sensationalist aspects of Traveller culture but we were keen to tell a story that was about family and the strength it can give in the face of adversity. Then quite separately, I've been obsessed with the Back To The Future films since I was a small child and the DeLorean has always occupied a fond place in my childhood memory. So when I had the idea to combine these two sensibilities, things just sort of snowballed from there and Time Traveller is the result.
In this story, Tom Doran is portraying the leading character Martin and his real life brother is playing Martin's brother, which is very clever especially in a film like this. How did you come across them?
We were searching for a long time for the right kid to play Martin and we were intent on casting someone who came from the Travelling community. I read an article about Liam Doran, who plays Martin's older brother in the film, and another one of the Tom's brother, Paddy who had done some modelling for high profile fashion brands with the photographer Perry Ogden. The article mentioned that they had a few younger brothers so we contacted them and asked them all to come in for an audition. They're a great family and all of the lads are very talented but Tom in particular really embodied the role. Once we cast him we knew we'd use one of the older brothers alongside him and I think Liam found it quite easy to play a role that involved giving his little brother a hard time!
How did the rest of the cast come together?
I'd been a big admirer of Barry Ward for a long time and came close to working with him on a previous project that unfortunately didn't materialise. When we were putting this film together however we felt that he'd be perfect for the role of Martin's father, John Paul. Working with Barry is a real pleasure and the bond he managed to form with Tom during rehearsals and on the shoot was crucial to the on-screen chemistry they have together. For the role of Martin's mam, Mary, we were very fortunate to be able to cast the vastly experienced Denise McCormack and the always-excellent Barbara Bergin makes an appearance as the woman who Martin has a run in with when he's out collecting materials. When you have a first-time child actor in the lead role, it's great to be able to surround them with a cast of seasoned pros and the generous and collaborative approach of all our adult actors on Time Traveller was instrumental in getting a performance out of Tom.
The film screened at prestigious film festivals such as the Tribeca Film Festival as well Galway Film Fleadh and it won Best Irish Short at the Foyle Film Festival. The success of this film is still going. Did you ever think that the film would get this much support from film festivals and the audience?
My producer Collie and I were excited about the project from the outset and at every stage of the process we had a good feeling about the film in general. But once it's made, you never know if it will have the success you hope for or if what you see in it will resonate with other people. Thankfully audiences seem to enjoy Time Traveller and we've had the privilege of screening at a some top international festivals as a result. The response to the film has been great and has far exceeded our expectations.
What do you hope that the audience will take away from this film?
Obviously the film touches on the treatment of Travellers in Irish society and although I would hope it might cause people to examine their own attitudes towards this frequently maligned ethnic minority, that's not for me to dictate. More important to me is that people engage with the story and empathise with the characters. At its heart it's a film about family and the strength and resilience it provides in the face of adversity.
All of your films take place in Ireland, where you've been living. Do you hope that with films like this, more filmmakers and producers will shoot in Ireland?
The industry in Ireland has been going from strength to strength over the past few years and at the moment it really seems to be thriving. So many international film and TV productions currently choose to shoot here but it's no surprise given the incredibly talented local crew and ever-improving infrastructure that's available. While I don't think the success of Time Traveller will have any baring whatsoever on the Irish industry's continuing growth, Ireland has always had a rich tradition of supporting and developing talent through short filmmaking and we count ourselves lucky to now be a part of that.
Where did your passion for film come from?
I spent a lot of time watching films and reading as a kid and the older I got, the more of an obsession it became until I finally started thinking about it as a career in my late teens. Thankfully when I actually started writing scripts and making films I found it to be even more fun than watching them and although there are many ups and downs in trying to create a life for yourself as a filmmaker, I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else.
What advice would you give to other people who want to achieve a career in the film industry?
Ha, I'm still trying to figure that out myself but what's worked for me has been to watch as much as I can, read lots of scripts and then learn by doing – making films and learning from my mistakes. Writing has also been instrumental in making me a better filmmaker. I've gone through some very long periods over the years without shooting anything because of a lack of finances or resources. It can be discouraging but writing is a way to ensure you stay creating and all it requires is time and perseverance.
One last question: Do you have more projects that you're working on?
I have a couple of projects in the works, chief among them being my debut feature, which is a horror-mystery set in a rural valley in the West of Ireland. I'm also developing my first TV series about a small town that becomes overrun by characters from Irish fairy folklore in the wake of the disappearance of a teenage girl.

In this stage designer create a brand name or logo. The philosophy and identity of a range can be continued into promotional activities such as branding and styling. To promoting and marketing fashion goods it is very important. Normally the branding would be a graphic designer's job. It is the interesting use of the language or words can produce visual effects, such as, iMac (Internet ready Macintosh computer), O2 (mobile phone provider), FCUK (French Connection United Kingdom).
There's a puff-sleeve personality for everyone, according to the runways. Maybe you'll like yours neat and rounded out at the shoulder for autumn (see Givenchy), or maybe you'll want something decadent and entirely inappropriate for anything that involves dipping sauces (see Emilia Wickstead's gigantic-sleeved floral dresses). Whatever route you choose to go down there is a huge amount on offer from edgy to prim.
In 1966 Paco Rabanne opened his own outlet at the age of 32, where he earned international repute for his metal-linked plastic-disc dresses, sun goggles and jewelry made of plastic in primary colors. Paco Rabanne's dresses made of small plastic tiles linked together by chains, stole the show in Paris. His first collection, titled "12 Unwearable Dresses in Contemporary Materials," sums up his philosophy that "the only new frontier left in fashion is the finding of new materials." Throughout his career, Rabanne experimented with everything from plastic and aluminum to fiberglass and paper to create futuristic, eccentric, yet highly influential garments.
"The footwear update this season is the square toe; from By Far to Gianvito Rossi's two-tone boot to neutral hues at Neous and Bottega Veneta's mule," says von der Goltz. "Wandler's new footwear line has landed already, with the square toe a key signature detail across all styles." Add that to the fact that everyone's already wearing the trend at Paris Fashion Week and you've got yourself a very big trend in the making.
Edited's data plays into the trend too. The analysts saw a rise in ultra-feminine themes with floral patterns being particularly key. Out of the total floral-print offering, 40% of the items were dresses in both the UK and the U.S. Some of our personal favourites? Paco Rabanne (especially when paired with a cute cardigan), Prada (so many different, weird and wonderful takes on a very classic idea) and Richard Quinn (literally every editor cried at his show because the jaw-dropping dresses combined with live music from Freya Ridings was just too much beauty to handle).
"Intuition is a strong feminine quality. I have applied that instinct to my career". This is one our favorite quotes by Carolina Herrera and we think she is a true inspiration to women in fashion, and more, around the world. Carolina started to be known by regularly appearing on the International Best Dressed List in the 80's. Her trend marks are classy pieces like pencil skirts paired with crisp white cotton shirts. In 2008 she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
Klein received his education at the renowned Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. His Calvin Klein underwear line, as well as his array of successful perfumes, helped him to build his empire. His ability to choose the sexiest, hippest stars for his ad campaigns also revealed his tremendous savvy and perceptiveness: celebs such as musician/actor Mark Wahlberg and supermodel Kate Moss also benefited from his uncanny ability to read the zeitgeist.
Fashion design services provide services like trend and color forecasting, market analysis, design concepts and design documentation for manufacturers. This way the manufacturer can contract out the design requirements rather than maintaining an in-house design team. Fashion design services providers can either sell the designs outright or license them out on a royalty basis.
Famous brands and designers from France include Chanel, Louis Vuitton, L'Oreal, Christian Louboutin, Balmain, Lancôme, Givenchy, Le Coq Sportif, Cartier, Guerlain, Sonia Rykiel, Longchamp, Pierre Cardin, Kenzo, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Clarins, A.P.C., Jean Paul Gaultier, Lacoste, Hermès, Thierry Mugler, Lanvin, Inès de La Fressange, Quechua, Chloé, Lolita Lempicka, Nina Ricci, Rochas, Cerruti, Oxbow and Céline.
Gingham designs, both extensive and little, are drifting examples of 2019, as is the vast and ostentatious flower design. For the monochrome darlings, there's make a beeline for toe white, simply holding up to enamour, or the military green that runs with look, from slouchy to thin. Sews and midi-skirts are among the fall patterns, as are the immortal hides and tufts. Toss in an obi belt or favor cook's garments for a more runway take a gander at the parlor party. Hotshot some skin with some mid-riff exposing, or play with the creative ability with the edges. Comfortable pads are in, as is bouffant. In this way, go out there and blend it up. So imagine a scenario in which you can't wear Vogue, Chanel or Louis Vuitton. Get motivated, at any rate, and enjoy a trendy 2019. Be excellent.
Ready-to-wear, or prêt-à-porter, clothes are a cross between haute couture and mass market. They are not made for individual customers, but great care is taken in the choice and cut of the fabric. Clothes are made in small quantities to guarantee exclusivity, so they are rather expensive. Ready-to-wear collections are usually presented by fashion houses each season during a period known as Fashion Week. This takes place on a citywide basis and occurs twice a year. The main seasons of Fashion Week include: spring/summer, fall/winter, resort, swim, and bridal.
My husband and i felt quite fulfilled that Ervin managed to round up his inquiry out of the ideas he acquired from your very own site. It's not at all simplistic to just continually be releasing techniques the others have been making money from. And we all fully understand we need the writer to thank because of that. All of the illustrations you have made, the straightforward site navigation, the relationships you will give support to instill – it's got most astonishing, and it is letting our son and the family do think this issue is fun, and that's seriously important. Thanks for the whole lot!
Christian Lacroix directs his devotion and talent for fantasy and theatrics to create true design spectacles. Lacroix arrived in the 80s with the opening of his fashion house and immediately set the world on fire with unexpected mixes of colors and patterns. "The idea of seeing everybody clad the same is not really my cup of tea". This is one of the best quotes of Lacroix, fighting for unique and irreverent pieces in the world of fashion.
"Butter-yellow hues offered a fresh new palette for the season, with brands incorporating head-to-toe looks in the shade across tailoring, eveningwear and outerwear, from Max Mara's layering look to Jil Sander's knitted styles," says Tiffany Hsu, fashion buying director at Mytheresa. "I loved Jaquemus's power suit, which is a great workwear option worn with heels and one of his statement mini-bags. This color is the ideal alternative for minimalists—an alternative to classic black and beige hues, it lifts an outfit without being overly colorful."
Colour is a basic consideration in the fashion design process. In most cases color is the first element that is noticed about a design and has a huge impact in how that garment is perceived. Different forecasting companies research and develop new and existing colour palettes from many sources like yarn technologists, international fabric fairs, leather suppliers, trimming merchants etc. some fashion magazine give inspirational colour guideline for fashion design.
Top-handled and either cutesy and retro or super-sleek in plain leathers, the most influential bag trend of the season will most definitely be anything that feels extra-ladylike and old-fashioned. Although jumbo totes and teeny-tiny mini bags could also be seen on the autumn runways, neither is particularly practical, unlike these this breed of elegant styles. "I find when something is vintage that piece has a much longer staying power since the style feels inherently classic, like the frame bag," says Lisa Aiken, Fashion Director at Moda Operandi. Roomy enough to fit your essentials into, classic enough to last an eternity and offered in enough variations to girls with multiple style personalities sated indeed.
As previously mentioned, punk spirit seized the London shows and definitely filtered into some during Paris. Alexander McQueen and Dior are two major luxury brands turning the rebellious signifiers of this look on their heads (studs! leather! mohair hole-y knits! plaid!), but you'll also find some homegrown talent pushing things into even wilder territory. Even if the more extreme ends of this trend aren't going to translate into the mass market, expect to see many tartan creations hitting shop floors over the coming months…
A leading name who embarked on the world of fashion in 1980's. She won the Yuv Rattan Award and is counted among the modern-designers of the country. Best known for her theme collections, and focuses on silhouettes and is always busy in experimentation and introducing new trends! Rina-Dhaka has arranged shows in Paris, London, Singapore, Hong-Kong, New-York, Jakarta & Dubai . Rina's Singapore shows in 2001 nd 2002 were her major victory! Even "Vogue" and "Elle" (International megazines) have featured 'er work and fashion-designing is now her family business as her brothers Shantanu and Nikhil also joined her in late 90's.
Ralph Lauren is worth $7.5 billion, and he got it all because of his fashion sense. In 1970, the first Polo logo was seen in Lauren's line of women's suits that was designed in the classic men's style. Two years later, the famous short sleeve shirt with the Polo emblem appeared, and it soon became a classic. These shirts have been collected by men all over the world ever since. Lauren, on the other hand, has been collecting rare and classic cars. The collection is so unique that it has been featured in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
The girl next door. The classic style that's been around for ages. This fashion style doesn't pay attention to the latest trends and doesn't involve anything wild or exotic. This trend focuses on simplicity and cuteness, with a striped tee, shorts, and tennis shoes enough to make her happy. At the end of the day, she just wants to be adorable and casual!

Federal Operator 99 is a 1945 Republic film serial. It was later edited down into a feature version titled F.B.I. 99 for television. The serial is about an FBI agent named Jerry Blake who battles gentleman thief Jim Belmont, who escapes custody with help of his gang and begins a wave of crimes, beginning with plotting to steal the crown jewels of the Princess Cornelia.

Plot
Crime lord James 'Jim' Belmont (George J. Lewis) escapes FBI custody and resumes his criminal empire, only to be thwarted at every turning point by British-accented Jerry Blake, the FBI's Operator 99 (Marten Lamont). Belmont plots to steal the crown jewels of the Princess Cornelia, with the aid of his cohorts Matt Farrell, Rita Parker and his crafty secretary Morton. The criminals succeed in stealing the jewels, then offer to ransom them back, using Jerry Blake (Operator 99) as the go-between. Blake foils their plot and also acts against different criminal engagements by Belmont such as trying to steal a car once owned by Belmont's partner, a car into which valuable gold has been melted and whose location is known by a former lawyer who worked for Belmont.

Blake's secretary Joyce Kingston gets involved in directly helping Blake thwart Belmont, at one point battling Rita Parker for control of a truck carrying stolen payroll money.  Blake eventually captures Matt Farrell but Belmont and Parker kidnap Joyce and they offer to trade her for Farrell.  Blake is able to trace Belmont to his hidden lair beneath a theatre and winds up battling him high up on a catwalk overlooking a precipitous drop.

Just below is Tasmanian artist Asta's latest music video to her song titled Dynamite featuring the Australian rapper known as Allday.
Love this new act and their song that smells like a hit. The group is known as Big Grams. It features the rhymes of Big Boi together with Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel of the music duo Phantogram.
This morning, after I read in the NY Times that Bowie was to appear at a star studded music event in his honor, I got online and read that David Bowie had died since that paper was printed. My first thought was the online headline of his death was a hoax, but I type this realizing that is a long shot. He had cancer.
Having seen his music video to his song titled Lazarus (featured below) just days before his death, he could not have timed the release more perfectly.
He was a true original artist who made the world of music and music inspired film more vast and beautiful.
He theatrically infused his music so well, often playing the role of a unigender, making it cool to be different, while leaving some to wonder if he was gay, straight, bi or what. He pushed that envelope at a time when people with trans gender desires were not so free to be.
He was and will always be a symbol and an icon of coolness for generations of people who strive to be uniquely true to themselves.
His love at first sight marriage with Iman put him in another league of cool.
The elder statesman of the high art side of music has moved on to another dimension, yet again. Farewell Mr. Bowie. Hope you are having a spectacular flight.
Just below, the first two music videos are his most recent genius works tied to, Lazarus, his off-Broadway musical, which ran through January 19, 2015 at the New York Theatre Workshop.

History of the Spark of Life Philosophy
In 1993, Jane Verity founded Dementia Care Australia, an independent social enterprise committed to improve the social and emotional care of people with dementia, their families and carers. She developed the Spark of Life Philosophy (originally referred to as Spark of Life Approach), which included skills to understand, connect and communicate with people who have dementia.
Jane had the dream and firm belief that if it was possible to find a way to enable people with advanced dementia to improve, that this could be adapted to enable people with other levels of dementia to benefit as well as frail elderly who did not have dementia.
The first step to achieve her dream was to develop an interactive, therapeutic social group program, specifically developed for people with advanced dementia. This program focused on facilitating an ideal environment and connection for people with dementia to experience rehabilitation and recover lost abilities. She called it the Sunshine Club Program now known as the Spark of Life Club Program.
The program proved to achieve its aim with consistent results of improvements in language, cognitive and social abilities as well as providing so much joy to all involved.
In 2004, the program was internationally endorsed as recommended best practice in a collaborative study between the Wisconsin Bureau of Aging & Disability Resources and the Wisconsin Office of Quality Assurance.
Between 2000 and 2007, the Club Program was researched by Hilary Lee as the main research topic for her Master's Degree through Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Western Australia.
From the findings of the research, it was identified that the essence of the program also needed to be expanded to all aspects of a person's life so the benefits could be sustained by everyone in the care environment.
This became the start of a long and close working relationship between Jane and Hilary as they set out to further develop the essence of the club program into the Spark of Life Culture Enrichment Program.
Three independent facilities took on to implement this culture enrichment program, one in Western Australia, one in Queensland, Australia and one in New Zealand. The results of implementing this entire program demonstrated that not only was the potential brought forth in residents and clients but also in the staff members. In essence, there was a total transformation of the culture.
In July 2009, Dementia Care Australia was honoured with the international IAHSA Excellence in Ageing Services Award given by IASHA representing 30 countries for the Spark of Life Culture Enrichment Program.
From the award an international demand grew for a sustainable model that would enable the Spark of Life Philosophy to be implemented in other countries and cultures. This resulted in the development of the 3-week Spark of Life International Master Course. This course educates pioneering leaders from around the world to become Spark of Life Master Practitioners, equipping them with the tools and strategy to take their organisation on the journey to become a Spark of Life Centre of Excellence.
There are Spark of Life Master Practitioners in 10 countries on 5 continents implementing the Spark of Life Culture Enrichment Program.
The Spark of Life Philosophy is now also taking root in many other fields of human endeavour such as palliative care, education and design.
With the philosophy expanding around the world, it was a natural next step for Dementia Care Australia to change their name and transition to officially embrace the global community that the organisation had been servicing for so many years.
On May 10th 2017, Dementia Care International was launched followed by the new Dementia Care International website on August 8th 2017.

'You can't teach young students the ABC Theory of Emotional Disturbance and it should only be used by a trained psychologist in the counselling setting.' Albert Ellis railed against this kind of misinformation put forth to preserve the status of the psychologist as 'expert.' Ellis of course wanted his ABC Theory of Emotional Disturbance to be accessible to all, especially to teachers and students. Far better that young children learn why they feel and act as they do and to develop insights and skills preventatively and educatively in the school setting.
Jonas Salk who created the polio vaccine hypothesised that if we could 'psychologically immunise' students they would be less prone to mental health issues and would probably be physically better off too.
Batfink, the cartoon character said to his enemies 'your bullets cannot harm me, my wings are like shields of steel?' He would wrap his wings around himself deflecting any harmful bullets from hitting him, thwarting those who would have him undone.
Teaching students how to deflect psychological harm as part of daily curricula activities would be a useful thing. Rational Emotive Behaviour Education does just that by using some basic but essential counselling tools and ideas. To those who may think 'I am not a psychologist and I have enough to teach' consider the following and reap the benefits.
1. Kids actions are determined largely by their constructed views (beliefs) about themselves, others and the world (as indeed our own are).
2. These beliefs can be mostly helpful (rational) or unhelpful (irrational).
3. Strength of emotion is also linked to these constructed views – 'I want something and I must have it and I didn't get it.'= anger. 'I want something and I prefer to have it but I can wait.' = disappointment.
4. Thinking, feeling and behaving are connected – 'Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so!' Hamlet.
2. Teach the Emotional Thermometer – words for varying strength of feeling.
Use the idea of Batfink deflecting harmful bullets and encourage students to consider information and evidence to draw their own conclusions about their self worth and rejecting (deflecting) errant incoming data. Can a person be bad? No. A person can act badly which does not cancel out the positive qualities that remain. Failure also doesn't define a person nor does rejection i.e. we are worthwhile because we are here! (Albert Ellis – Unconditional Self-Acceptance).
Teachers at Para Hills P-7 work hard to impart the Batfink philosophy to all students. Mindfulness!
The Call to Teach REBT/CBT in Schools - not a new idea!
Educators help children develop psychological 'wings of steel' to ward off the potential harm of failure and rejection. This article CBT in schools advocates for CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) to be taught in schools. Para Hills P-7 has been doing this for several years through Rational Emotive Behaviour Education which is based on REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy).
Dr Bill Knaus renowned REBT expert and advocate for Rational Emotive Behaviour Education provides his highly acclaimed school resource here Free REE Resource download for educators and counsellors in schools.
The call for REBT/CBT in schools is not a new one but perhaps now the time is right to capture the imagination of educational leaders everywhere!


Low Key = Keeping it less obvious.
I'm done messing with Strarf, so as she is is how she'll remain. Plus, I agree with Caterwaul.
I had a good chuckle over that one. Thanks, O2P9!
She doesn't really seem to suffer from the red face issue.
Nice! A good day indeed. Did you get her alone or did she come with Arnval Mk 2 bundled with Battle Masters?

Q: Sending special characters to pseudo-terminal? I'm trying to write a C program that creates a pseudo-terminal running a new bash instance, and records all the input and output that goes through it. The eventual goal would be to asynchronously send this to a server, where somebody else could view your terminal activity in real time.
I've completed the pseudo-term creation step, and I can start a new bash instance and log "most" of the input and output. My issue right now is that the pseudo-term isn't properly recognizing arrow keys. They get printed to the screen as ASCII values (^[[A, ^[[[B, ^[[C, ^[[D), instead of moving the cursor around the command line.
Here's the slave portion of the pty, which will run bash:
if(pid == 0){ //child
    struct termios term_settings;

    close(ptyfds.master);

    rc = tcgetattr(ptyfds.slave, &term_settings);
    cfmakeraw(&term_settings);
    tcsetattr(ptyfds.slave, TCSANOW, &term_settings);

    //replace stdin,out,err with the slave filedesc
    close(0);
    close(1);
    close(2);
    dup(ptyfds.slave);
    dup(ptyfds.slave);
    dup(ptyfds.slave);

    //We can close original fd and use 0,1,2
    close(ptyfds.slave);

    //Make this process the session lead
    setsid();

    //Slave side of PTY becomes the new controlling terminal
    ioctl(0, TIOCSCTTY, 1);

    char ** child_argv = (char **) malloc(argc * sizeof(char*));
    int i;
    for(i=1; i<argc; i++){
        child_argv[i-1] = strdup(argv[i]); //could be bash, bc, python
    }
    child_argv[i-1] = NULL;
    rc = execvp(child_argv[0], child_argv);
}

And here's the master side of the pty, sending input to the slave and capturing its output.
if(pid == 0){ //parent
    fd_set fd_in;
    close(ptyfds.slave);

    FILE *logFile = fopen("./log", "w");

    while(1){
        //Add stdin and master fd to object
        FD_ZERO(&fd_in);
        FD_SET(0,&fd_in);
        FD_SET(ptyfds.master, &fd_in);

        //intercept data from stdin or from slave out (which is redirected to master)
        rc = select(ptyfds.master+1, &fd_in, NULL,NULL,NULL);

        switch(rc){

I've tried messing around with the termios flags here, but there are none that specify arrow keys.
What do I need to do?
Much of this code came from here.

A: I think there was a mistake in the example program.
I was able to fix it by moving:
rc = tcgetattr(ptyfds.slave, &term_settings);
cfmakeraw(&term_settings);
tcsetattr(ptyfds.slave, TCSANOW, &term_settings);

into the master section and replacing ptyfds.slave with STDIN_FILENO
(This sets STDIN to raw mode, rather than the slave)

Accelerating innovation: the CNRS creates its 200th LabCom
Innovation | Laboratory
O The CNRS is celebrating the creation of its 200th active joint laboratory bringing together the organisation and its academic partners with a company.
o On average, a joint laboratory (LabCom) is created every 15 days.
o Nearly half of the research focuses on energy and materials (48%), in addition to digital technology (20%) and the life sciences (13%). Over 80 patents and 20 software programs are jointly registered each year.
o The result of years of work and mutual trust, these LabComs can remove the scientific and technological obstacles specific to companies.
To mark the creation of the 200th active joint laboratory bringing together the CNRS and its partners with companies, the organisation is taking stock of one of the most accomplished and sought-after collaborations between the worlds of public research and industry. With a joint laboratory created every fifteen days, and the hundreds of innovations that have emerged from them, these flexible structures have proved crucial in removing scientific and technological obstacles. They make it possible to conduct ambitious basic research, and to position ourselves in relation to major industrial challenges.
In an unprecedented event at the Palais Brongniart in Paris, the CNRS is celebrating the creation of the 200th active joint laboratory bringing the organisation and its academic partners together with industry, namely TotalEnergies in this instance. The result of a decade of fruitful exchange, the Electronic Magnetic Resonance Centre for Materials and Energy was recently created by the Spectroscopy Laboratory for Interactions, Reactivity and the Environment (CNRS/Université de Lille) and TotalEnergies. It will work to identify new materials that are more sustainable, have less of a carbon footprint, and can be applied to the energy sector. It will also improve the reliability and security of solid-state batteries, as well as study the ageing of solar panels.
A preferred form of partnership research, joint laboratories have attracted 135 companies of all sizes with varying needs and resources, including large (34%), and mid-market (38%) businesses, SMBs (16%), and VSBs (12%). Some companies have trusted the CNRS and its partners on more than one occasion, being simultaneously involved in multiple collaborations: Total Energies (12 joint laboratories with the CNRS and its academic partners); Michelin and Stellantis (8 laboratories), EDF and Thales (7 laboratories), Solvay (5 laboratories), Naval Group, Saint-Gobain, CILAS - ArianeGroup - and Groupe Airbus (3 laboratories).
Joint laboratories are built around a shared scientific theme responding to both the needs of ambitious research and long-term industrial challenges, and they play the role of catalysts. The innovation that stems from these laboratories-whether disruptive or more incremental-provides added value to the product development cycle of companies. Nearly half of the research focuses on energy and materials (48%), in addition to digital technology (20%) and the life sciences (13%). Over 80 patents and 20 software programs are jointly registered each year.
Bandages that stimulate healing, fibre optics adapted to extreme environments, and pheromone diffusers to combat agricultural parasites are only a few of the concrete illustrations of these partnerships between CNRS research units and academic partners with companies. One example is the Fractory 1 joint laboratory, which offers software and expertise in modelling complex geological environments in order to produce the highly-detailed knowledge of the subsoil needed for the permanent burial of nuclear waste, or the I3M laboratory 2 , which uses mathematical modelling and artificial intelligence for the automated processing and analysis of images, in an effort to assist in the diagnosis and therapeutic care for pathologies of the brain, heart, and kidney.
Of the thousand joint research laboratories 3 that the CNRS has with its academic partners, 144-- or 12% of the units under the CNRS's supervisory authority --have created at least one collaborative structure with the private sector. This success illustrates the need to base the relations between companies and the academic world on a structural, flexible, and enduring framework. Behind these structures 4 bringing together the world of research and industry there are first and foremost human connections between individuals who respect and trust one another, and who want to join efforts over multiple years of collaboration in the form of scientific services, co-supervised theses, and collaboration contracts.
"The CNRS's core purpose is to conduct basic research at the highest international level, and to put it at the service of society. Transferring research and enhancing our attractiveness are central to our strategy. Thinking long-term to anticipate the world of tomorrow, as well as contributing to a stronger economy and industry are ambitions we share with our economic partners. Together we conceive the research projects needed to create disruptive innovation, gain and retain markets, and generate value and jobs by standing out from the competition," indicates CNRS CEO Antoine Petit.
1. Between Itasca Consultants s.a.s, the Geosciences Rennes laboratory (CNRS/Université Rennes 1), and the Rennes Observatory of the Sciences of the Universe (CNRS/Université Rennes 1/Université Rennes 2/Inrae/Institut Agro).
2. Created between the Mathematics and Applications Laboratory (CNRS/Université de Poitiers), the Xlim Laboratory (CNRS/Université de Limoges), and Siemens Healthineers SA.

Hi, I a mother with 3 children aged 11 to 18. We live upstairs and have large, private downstairs room for rent. It has it's own toilet, bar fridge, tv antenna point, single bed, cupboards and drawers. You are welcome to bring your own furniture for your use in the room. The rent includes reasonable use of utilities. The upstairs kitchen and bathroom are shared. The house is located close to the City and public transport. The room has its own private entrance separate from the main house.


I'm an 80's baby. I miss the old school cartoons. Scooby-doo was one of my favorites. But I always wondered why he was always so afraid of everything. Like dude, you're a dog; a big dog at that. I'm sure if you bark the monsters would have instantly run away. I used to get so frustrated by his cowardliness.
Resistance to change is an issue that many individuals struggle with. Change can be either beneficial or harmful. One problem that several people struggle with is resistance towards change due to fear. I admit I place fear in a lot of my decision-making. One of my biggest fears is failure. This causes stagnation in my efforts to improve as a decision maker. I'm working towards changing my outlook towards fear. One of my twitter buddies' turned the word fear into an acronym.
I thought to myself. Dang, do I do that? If so I need to change that aspect of myself when it comes to my goals.
With hopes of being noted as a lifestyle coach I have to build upon my confidence skills. I think a lot of great business owners and CEO's go far with their business endeavors because they are not afraid of change. If something goes wrong with plan A they will think of plan B.
I'll give you a little story.
I relocated with my family to Florida five years ago. Prior to relocating to Florida I would regularly visit to spend time with my brother and his family. When I found out that my parents and I were moving to Florida I was not open to the move. I lived in New York all of my life. I was pretty much born and raised in the same house for 16 years. Not only did I despise moving, upon arrival I realized that the place I loved to vacation in was not a "fit home" for me. The people spoke differently and dressed differently. The only real form of transportation was by owning a car which meant I needed to obtain my driver's license which I dreaded. I felt as though I lost my independence.
I remember calling my best friend Tatayana daily to inform her how much I despised Florida. I made little initiative to make friends while attending High School. I did not accept the change. I become "bottled up" and somewhat angry about every and anything. Rather than turning the move into a positive change I saw only negatives.
I can honestly say it took about three years for me to get used to Florida or accept the change. I took the initiative to get my license and get a car. Then I began to work, intern, and make friends in school. These subtle changes helped me realize that Florida isn't so bad after all. Imagine if I was less resistant to change prior than the three years it took? I probably would have made more great friends and learned about more opportunities that interested me.
With this being said my Topic Tuesday Advice for the week is to become more accepting to change. If this is something you struggle with I advise you to make a list of pros and cons.
After creating my list I realized that I actually do love Florida because I was able to obtain my license, the cost of education is way cheaper, I can go to the beach all year long, my parents are more relaxed (less hustle and bustle), my neighborhood is clean, overall cost of living is cheaper.
What's the change that you are contemplating? How are you going to work towards looking at it positively with little to no resistance involved?


Due to proximity to the colleges peal attempts at GSM are mostly out of term time, usually immediately before and after the terms. To avoid conflict with University ceremonies and college recordings all dates are coordinated with the University and Kings College some 18 months in advance however dates and availability are generally only provisional and subject to change. Enquiries to ring should be made to the Master or Secretary.
