Morata, who struggled with Chelsea this year, had not been included in the squad for Spain's most recent friendlies but Lopetegui had said the player still had chances of making it to the World Cup.
Also left out was forward Victor "Vitolo" Machin of Atletico Madrid. Vitolo had four goals in World Cup qualifying, while Morata had five and was among the team's top scorers along with Costa, Francisco "Isco" Alarcon and David Silva.
"Best of luck in the World Cup," Morata wrote on Twitter. "I'll be supporting and cheering through the end, as always."
Instead of picking a fourth striker, Lopetegui opted to take eight defenders, including Nacho Monreal, the only other surprise on the list. Marcos Alonso and Marc Bartra were among the defenders left out.
"We are sorry that we couldn't include some of the players who were decisive in qualifying," Lopetegui said. "Of course, other players deserved to be in the list, like Morata, Bartra, (Asier) Illarramendi and others. There is a long list of players who have helped us but will not go to the World Cup."
Nearly 30 players who were called up by Lopetegui since the coach took over in 2016 have been left out of the final list.
Youngster Alvaro Odriozola was added as the second right back behind Dani Carvajal, leaving Barcelona defender Sergi Roberto out of the World Cup.
The squad has six players from Real Madrid and four from Barcelona. The Madrid players will report to the team's training camp later than the other players because they will play the Champions League final against Liverpool on Saturday in Kiev.
Still unbeaten since Lopetegui arrived, Spain will go to Russia trying to rebound from its recent disappointments in the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016.
Eleven players are back from Euro 2016, and 10 were in the 2014 World Cup squad. Only Andres Iniesta, Sergio Ramos, David Silva and Pepe Reina were in the team that won Euro 2008.
Spain will play warm-up matches against Switzerland on June 3 and Tunisia on June 9.
The team's World Cup opener will be against European champion Portugal on June 15 in Sochi. Morocco and Iran are also in Group B.

A Surprising Aphrodesiac
Why do we keep our belly buttons all our lives, while in most mammals who nurse their young, these disappear when they mature? Scientists think they indicate the mating potential of fertile women.
During pregnancy, the umbilical cord supplies a baby with nutrients and oxygen from the mother. After birth, it's clamped and snipped, leaving a short stump that eventually falls off. It's not known exactly why there are so many shapes of belly buttons. Most people prefer belly buttons that don't protrude.
In LiveScience, Robert Roy Britt quotes researcher Aki Sinkkonen as saying, "I propose that umbilicus [belly button], together with the surrounding skin area, is an honest signal of individual vigor. More precisely, I suggest that the symmetry, shape, and position of umbilicus can be used to estimate the reproductive potential of fertile females, including risks of certain genetically and maternally inherited fetal anomalies.
"I suggest that umbilicus is a fitness signal. I may be wrong. However, many mammals do not have a visible umbilicus. We have, but it does not have an obvious function, except signaling. If further research confirms the signaling hypothesis, female umbilici may be routinely measured to detect risk pregnancies of several fetal abnormalities."
So males who want to father a child know what to look for. But since most of them don't have this information?even if the girl they are interested in takes off her clothes?their search must be instinctive, an unconscious sense of "I'm attracted to this one rather than that one." They probably think it's her face, her hair?or even her personality, but WE know the truth: it's her belly button!
The lust generated by the umbilicus can last long past a woman's fertile years. Romance does not have to fizzle out in long-term relationships and progress into a companionship/friendship-type love. Romantic love can last a lifetime and lead to happier, healthier relationships. Maybe this has something to do with lots of kissing?
Psychologist Bianca P. Acevedo thinks lovers should have it all: "Couples should strive for love with all the trimmings," she says, "and couples who've been together a long time and wish to get back their romantic edge should know it is an attainable goal that, like most good things in life, requires energy and devotion." Something not everyone who reads this website knows: Anne Strieber writes about how to add sizzle to your sex life in the diet book that's FREE on our website!Art credit: freeimages.co.uk

Generic Nolvadex (Tamoxifen): Side Effects, Reviews, Dosage, Uses.
Nolvadex (Tamoxifen) is antineoplastic antiestrogenic agent designed for breast cancer treatment. It is a hormone therapy, this medication is classified as an "anti-estrogen."
4. HOW TO TAKE TAMOXIFEN?
Breast cancer is the most common type of tumors among the female population of Europe, America and some Asian countries. Annually, more than one million cases of this disease are registered in the world, and with an average life expectancy of 80 years the risk of developing breast cancer is 12.5%. Over the past 20 years, there has been a steady increase in the incidence of this type of cancer in the whole world, as well as in Russia, especially in cities and megacities. Since 1985, takes the first place among women's oncological diseases, accounting for 31.2% of the total. It is well known that an annual preventive examination contributes to the early detection of tumors. However, often patients refer to a doctor already suffering from obvious signs of a tumor, and this complicates the subsequent treatment. One of the reasons of that is the lack of understanding of the importance of early diagnosis of the disease. Now scientists have deeply penetrated into the mechanisms of the origin of the cancer cell, although much remains unclear. Like other cancers, breast cancer is insidious and aggressive. Therefore, it is very important for any person to have an idea of the development of this disease: forewarned is armed.
Breast cancer is also found in men. Such cases are diagnosed 100 times less often than in women, but even in this case the disease is often deadly by nature and requires treatment. Among the causes of mammary tumors in men is a rare mutation in the gene predisposition BRCA2, obesity, hormonal disorders. In contrast to benign growth of breast tissue, malignant degeneration necessarily requires prompt treatment.
The basis for the treatment of breast cancer is a combined complex approach combined with surgical treatment. The tumor is affected by medicines, radiation, hormones, including target therapy, which implies the reception of a pharmaceutical product which blocks the work of certain genes only in tumor cells, and leads to a slowdown in the growth of the neoplasm.
The Tamoxifen Citrate (Generic Nolvadex) was synthesized in 1962. Initially it was used only for certain forms of female infertility treatment. Clinical investigations showed that this agent was not an ideal actual substance in case of female infertility.
Tamoxifen is the key substance of Nolvadex, which is a non-steroid substance with anti-estrogenic characteristics.
The medicine is used for adjuvant therapy of mammary neoplasms in women (in menopause) with the affected lymph nodes, as well as metastatic breast cancer in men and women. In addition, this medicine is used to treat ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, clear-cell carcinoma, nevocarcinoma, adult soft tissue sarcoma in the presence of estrogen receptors in the neoplasm, as well as for the treatment of chemotherapy insensitive prostate cancer.
increase of mammary glands in men.
This is why Nolvadex is prescribed to prevent the development of these effects. It must be said that this medication is used by athletes while on a diet, as it promotes fat burning. The effect of the remedy is aimed at increasing the density of muscles of bodybuilders.
When using Tamoxifen for any purpose, the existing contraindications must taken into account.
impaired absorption and metabolism of lactose.
This drug is prohibited for use in men with excessive sensitivity to the components. Special caution in taking of the discussed medicine should be observed by men suffering from diabetes mellitus. If there is any kidney disease, Tamoxifen is also contraindicated. In thromboembolic disorders, the use of this medication is not recommended.
The dosage of this medicine is almost the same for both men and women with cancer.
However, before taking the drug, you should carefully read the instructions that contain the necessary recommendations.
Usually the medication is taken as one tablet twice a day. After a week, this dose is doubled (i.e. two tablets twice a day). The length of the course of treatment depends on the development of the disease and the results of therapy.
The minimum duration of the course is from one to three months.
As far as taking of Nolvadex by sportsmen is concerned, here are a few other recommendations. Athletes use this medication primarily during post-course therapy after using anabolic steroids to restore their own testosterone level. The dose of Nolvadex at the second to third week of steroid medication is 0.01-0.02 g per day. After the end of steroid therapy the drug continues to take within 2-3 weeks.
Tamoxifen-containing remedy is used in the treatment of very complex and severe forms of hormonal disorders and oncological diseases.
The drug is prescribed exclusively to adults.
The remedy should be washed down only with water in large quantities. It is recommended to divide the daily dose into two doses – in the morning and in the evening, regardless of the meal.
fatty liver infiltration, cholestasis (bile stasis), hepatitis.
onset of cystic ovarian tumors.
Since there are no studies cases of an overdose of Nolvadex, it can be assumed that overdose may give rise to the above described adverse reactions. Treatment in this case should be symptomatic, since there are no specific antidotes.
Do not combine with drugs that contain hormones, especially estrogens. With a simultaneous treatment with drugs that affect the blood coagulation system, a dose adjustment of Nolvadex is necessary. When combined with cytostatics, the risk of thrombosis increases. Combinations with progestins are ok.
Of course, many people know the harmful effects of alcohol on the body. Therefore, most of the medications are recommended to be taken without alcohol.
However, in some cases compatibility of alcohol and Tamoxifen-containing remedy is possible. But this permission should be given by the doctor himself. The reason for this are the peculiarities of the human body and its predisposition to certain diseases. Combined use of alcohol and Tamoxifen-containing remedy is possible only if allowed by the treating doctor.
Any drug, as well as alcohol, irritatively affects the mucous membranes of the digestive organs. Therefore, taking Tamoxifen-containing remedy with alcohol will be even harder for the digestive system. Especially such a combination is terrible for people suffering from diseases of the digestive system. Based on the data of the proved statements it is recommended to limit the use of alcohol in the course of treatment with Nolvadex. Thus the medicine will affect the sick organs more effectively, and the new organism will not get new diseases.
Below are the reviews of athletes and patients taking Tamoxifen-containing remedy.
Nora, 28 years old: In 2015, diagnosed with breast cancer of the 2nd degree. After the operation to remove the breast, and after the course of radiotherapy, the doctor prescribed Nolvadex (Tamoxifen). I have been taking it for 2.5 years, the disease is not progressing.
Alexey, 30 years old (bodybuilder): Nolvadex (Tamoxifen) copes with its task of suppressing estrogen there are no censures here. But I had time to feel its side effects. Periodically, there are headaches and blurred vision.
Teresa, 38 years old: I have been taking Tamoxifen-containing remedy since 2014, since I was diagnosed with a malignant neoplasm. After the operation, according to the results of histological examination, the tumor turned out to be hormone-dependent. In this regard, I was prescribed a daily intake of this medication.
I visit the gynecologist every three months. I did not experience any side effects, except for tides. Sudden flashes of heat – the state is quite tolerable and inconveniences in everyday life does are not expressed.
Olga, 49 years old: As for me, this is a high-quality and highly effective drug. Yes, it has many adverse reactions and contraindications, but it helps me. Of course, everything depends on the degree of the tumor, but nevertheless, if the doctor recommends taking this medicine, then there is a reason to take it.

Anne Balay's "Semi Queer"
Anne Balay graduated with a PhD from the University of Chicago, after which she promptly became a car mechanic. Though in subsequent years she returned to academia as a professor both at the University of Illinois and Indiana University Northwest, she never lost her interest in blue collar work environments. Balay moved to Gary, Indiana to teach, and was immediately interested in the steel industry of the region. Her coworker and mentor, Jimbo Lane, suggested that she would be perfectly suited to meeting with and writing about the LGBT workers within the mill community, and Steel Closets was born. Balay then attended commercial truck driving school, got her CDL, and drove over the road. Oral histories of truck drivers she did in 2015/16 have led to her new book, Semi Queer: Inside the World of Gay, Trans, and Black Truck Drivers. She is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at Haverford College.
Balay applied the "Page 99 Test" to Semi Queer and reported the following:
Page 99 opens with a general claim about the contradictions of trucking: though truckers are exposed to trauma via the road accidents they witness, they receive no training in how to handle this, and in fact typically avoid getting treatment because they believe their employers will let them go if they have a history of seeking mental health support.
It then makes a further claim about how queer, trans, and black truckers add this under-treated trauma to the extra weight they carry of family rejection, outsider status, low pay, medical neglect or worse. I allude to the fierce pride they feel in persevering in spite of all this, and the way the movement – the transitoriness – of the job echoes their sexual/gender expression or their racialized visibility in ways that feel affirming and fun.
And then it turns to the story of one particular trucker: Donovan. Though her story extends through many pages and weaves through many of my book's themes, here I emphasize how her low pay combined with her company's flagrant disregard for her need to make it home for medical appointments target her. If she can't maintain her hormone regimen, she is prone to panic attacks and to depression. She is so lonely out there on the road. After we had talked for about 20 minutes, she started to cry. I asked why, and she said this was the longest conversation she had had with a human in months.
I try to impart a sense of Donovan as a person, on page 99 and elsewhere. We can know things as readers, but I also want us to feel these stories as they shape the lives of my narrators. If I can leave readers with a sense that they "met" Donovan, it might change their queer activism, their policy work, or their engagement with others in this brutal, beautiful world.

Ty-Amo reinvents the necktie
By BEQPride Magazine | March 8, 2019
Sheryl Horowitz is reinventing a traditionally masculine accessory for the 21st century with Ty-Amo, the world's first producer of gender-inclusive, non-binary ties.
"I've always liked what wearing ties represents," Horowitz says. "My grandfather wore a tie every day because it made him feel special and important. We're giving ties a new identity and a new message. Instead of being about masculine power and the gender binary, we're making them about empowerment for all."
Reinventing the necktie
As a young professional, Horowitz embraced the necktie. She began her career as a genetic counselor in the late 1980s before switching gears and becoming a recruiter for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. It was during the last decade of the 20th century that she made the traditionally masculine accessory her own.
"I remember back in the 1990s when a lot of women's fashion was inspired by menswear, I went to the flea market and bought Italian silk ties for $1 and decorated them myself to give them more of a flair," she says. "I would throw them on over a turtleneck or a t-shirt, whatever I was wearing under my lab coat."
While vacationing in California, boutique owners noticed her unique accessories and started asking where they could be purchased. Horowitz ended up with a side business selling her hand-embellished neckties to boutiques in Los Angeles and Carmel.
Eventually the fashion trends changed and the flea market ran out of ties. Horowitz focused on being a single mother to her daughter and son as well as building her new company, FPC of Marlboro, a firm specializing in staffing and placement services for clinical research personnel in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
But her affinity for fashion remained, and during a trip to Europe she noticed that menswear-inspired fashion was on the rise again. This time, as the mother of a daughter entering the workforce soon and a son who recently came out, Horowitz began looking at fashion – and one accessory in particular – as a means to promote inclusivity and break down barriers.
In 2018, Horowitz launched Ty-Amo with the express mission "to share the values of millions in helping to encourage equality and empowerment for women and the LGBTQ community."
Sheryl Horowitz
"We want to get rid of stereotypes both inside the closet and outside the closet," she says. "The tie is one of the most gender-specific accessories out there. My goal is to recreate it and give it a new life, a new meaning and a new identity."
She, as well as Ty-Amo, values individuality. The line of tie accessories is meant to be worn in multiple ways, allowing people to express their individual style, whatever that looks like.
"Ty-Amo strongly supports equal rights and human rights for all," she says. "We believe in the right to be accepted for who you are, how you love and how you present in the world. This means breaking through stereotypes because human connection is the best education, and tolerance is one of life's best teachers."
Practicing inclusion
Horowitz's vision of equality and empowerment is integrated throughout the enterprise, from sourcing to production to marketing.
Ty-Amo fabrics and trims are imported from Japan, but Horowitz envisioned creating positive local economic impact in addition to promoting social change through her company. When researching suppliers, she learned that Portland, Maine, was especially hard hit by the 2008 economic recession, resulting in several factories shuttering and hundreds of jobs lost. Sensing the opportunity to make a real difference in people's economic well-being, Horowitz partnered with a small, family-owned manufacturing company located in Portland as well as a pattern maker, designer and printer to produce Ty-Amo products.
"Finding the right team was a challenge, but it was important to me that our manufacturing is done in the United States," she says. "We found amazing craftspeople who do quality work in Portland and I couldn't be prouder of the results."
Hope Rovelto, owner of Little Chair Printing, the only queer woman-owned screen-printing shop in Maine, is one of those craftspeople. Her custom screen-printing can be found on several of Ty-Amo's unique ties, a creative partnership that aligns perfectly with her values.
"As a very small business and as a queer run business, working with Ty-Amo is the type of client I want to print for," Rovelto says. "My heart is in working with socially conscious companies. If your mission is to make inclusive products for the LGBTQ communities, it makes sense to use businesses in that community or very strong allies."
Horowitz also insists on using models from a variety of ethnic and age groups as well as different body types to represent the products.
"We wanted the message to be that we represent everyone, whether it's an ethnic minority struggling with identity or someone struggling with gender roles or sexuality or balking at ageism, we hear you, we see you," she says.
Celebrating Pride…and beyond
Recently Ty-Amo announced a partnership with The Phluid Project to produce the Authentic Pride 2019 50th anniversary tie collection, coming this Spring. The Phluid Project is a gender-free shopping space located in New York City. This year the enterprise is partnering with Champion, Nike, Fila and other designers to create an authentic line of clothing celebrating the 50th anniversary of Pride with 10 percent of all sales donated to the Stonewall Foundation.
Horowitz has been working toward a partnership like this from the start, looking for opportunities to give back and make a difference in real, tangible ways – whether through promoting inclusion, creating positive economic impact or financial contributions. Less than a year after launching Ty-Amo, she has already achieved a lot of what she set out to do, but for Horowitz, this is just the beginning.
"My dream is to partner with charities like domestic violence shelters, organizations that provide education and empowerment for women and the LGBTQ community, places that help people get back on their feet," she says. "It's not just about my daughter or my son having equal rights and empowerment, it's about all of the oppressed and underrepresented communities fighting for equal rights and empowerment."

CDT Think Tank
Is Any Current Roma Player Worthy of Totti's Number Ten?
Francesco Totti is sacrosanct for Roma fans, but what about the shirt number he left behind?
By bren@BrenCdT Jan 20, 2019, 12:57am CET
Share All sharing options for: Is Any Current Roma Player Worthy of Totti's Number Ten?
Photo by Paolo Bruno/Getty Images
With almost seven years of CdT experience under my belt, I like to think that I can find the right tenor for most Roma pieces. Transfer rumors, tactical debates, managerial changes, Roma players missing the World Cup; I've seen it all at this point, so taking the temperature of the room has become something of second nature to me. However, there is one part of the Roma experience that I still struggle with: paying sufficient weight to the contributions and legacy of Francesco Totti.
Although some of my favorite pieces here are the ones I dedicated to our namesake, given all that he meant to Roma, I just never feel like I'm doing him, or more accurately the myth of him, justice. For nearly 20 years, Totti was Roma's best player, her most famous ambassador, the reason players like Antonio Cassano and Luca Toni signed on with the Giallorossi, and the very reason many of you are reading this right now. I say it without an ounce of hyperbole: Francesco Totti was Roma. Without his contributions on the pitch and the credibility he gave to the club on the global stage, Roma as we know it might not exist today.
Francesco Totti: The Final Season - Chiesa Di Totti
Francesco Totti was the glacier and AS Roma were the rivers and lakes created by the sheer weight of his existence. And once that monolith slowly recedes, or in Totti's case pushed out the door into "retirement", a piece of you disappears in its wake. With the anchor of your identity suddenly gone, how does one move on?
Etheric implications aside, Totti's simple absence from the pitch stripped Roma of their chief creator, their source of inspiration, and their killer instinct; in short, Roma haven't had a number ten (however one defines that) since Totti left. And we're speaking both figuratively and literally.
Not long after his "retirement" folks around Roma began debating the future of the number ten shirt—should it pass to a new generation or forever stand in reverence to the man who wore it best?
In some sense, this debate may have been fueled by Roma's newfound Americaness—retiring numbers seems to be more of a state-side thing—but if ever there were a player meant to test conventions, surely it was Francesco Totti.
Francesco Totti: Why I'm a Roma Fan
No one in their right mind would argue against Totti receiving some sort of longstanding honor from Roma, but a football club retiring the number ten is no simple matter, not even when Totti is involved.
The number ten shirt is, in a way, alive; this simple integer somehow embodies everything that makes football beautiful, encompassing and representing everything that moves you when you see the sport played at its absolute apex. The one-touch passing, the stepovers, the gravity-defying volleys, and even the perfectly executed slide tackle; the number ten speaks to all of that in ways that words will always sell short.
Clubs should not only want players with the number ten skill set but with that aspiration. So, to remove that symbol and that honor from your roster isn't a decision to be made in haste, but this is Totti and Roma we're talking about—no player in club history did any number greater justice than Totti did the legendary number ten.
But Roma can't keep his number in a state of quasi-unavailability forever, right? At some point they have to decide: you can either wear this or stare at it in awe as it hangs from the rafters at The House That Totti Built.
Francesco Totti's Farewell Ceremony
Despite the fact that Totti readily admits the number should remain in circulation as a point of inspiration for the club's best players, for the past two seasons, this wasn't something we even had to consider because let's face it, Roma didn't have anyone worthy of wearing the number ten, and certainly not in Totti's immediate wake, so his number was almost revered by default, only spoken about in hushed tones.
And while it's probably more of a concern for obsessed fans like us than it is for the players, the future of Totti's number ten has practically joined religion and politics on the list of impolite conversation; just...just...just don't bring it up because things are bound to get ugly.
Considering that, being able to ignore this debate has been a blessing in disguise, but we all know the day would come when some kid brought it back to the forefront.
And that day may have already arrived.
With his rapid ascension up the Roma ladder, one fueled by audacious attempts on goal, his scintillating first touch, and ethereal feel for the game, Nicolo Zaniolo has reignited the number ten debate.
I'm not suggesting he's Totti's equal, or even a reasonable facsimile, but he's the first player (along with Lorenzo Pellegrini) who made you look at the number ten and think...hmm, maybe.
At its core, this is a completely subjective debate, but given ALL that Totti did for and meant to Roma fans, it's an incredibly touchy subject, so rather than me sorting through Zaniolo or Pellegrini's merits, I'm turning it over to you.
Should either of these kids inherit Totti's number ten shirt or should it forever stand in silent testimony to the man who built the Roma we know and love.
Should Roma retired the number ten shirt to honor Francesco Totti?
Yes, obviously
No, it's too important a symbol

Rewards app helps keep patients healthy
Media release | 18 January 2018
With up to 50 per cent of people with chronic medical conditions failing to take their medication regularly, the NSW Government is backing new technology that aims to encourage people to stick to their medication plan using games and rewards.
Sydney startup Perx received a $25,000 Minimum Viable Product grant from Jobs for NSW to develop its technology and the company is now trialling commercially with a $100,000 Building Partnerships grant.
Perx co-founder Hugo Rourke said the World Health Organisation estimates that 1 in 3 people in OECD countries have a chronic condition and up to half don't take medication as prescribed.
"People failing to take their medicine results in thousands of hospitalisations, even unnecessary deaths, and costs billions each year so we see huge scope for our tech to make a difference.
"Our app monitors a user's medication regime and gives them a chance to win a reward every time they stick to their schedule, encouraging them to develop positive habits," he said.
Artarmon retiree Lindsay Alexander has Type 2 diabetes and says the Perx app has made a major difference in helping him managing his health, in turn maximising his quality of life.
"The app has helped me manage my medication in a big way. I spread the word to friends and relatives and some of them have taken it on as well," said Lindsay.
"As a bonus, when I take my medication on cue I get rewards like cinema tickets, fuel cards or shopping vouchers which is a good incentive," he said.
Coniston resident Therese Francis says the app has made a big difference as she needs to take a number of different meds, including for cholesterol and painkillers, at different times.
"Before the app came along it was easy to forget to take my medication or I could take them later than I should. It has most definitely helped my health. I recommend this app for anyone of any age who needs to take medication regularly."
Deputy Premier and Minister for Small Business John Barilaro said Jobs for NSW funding had helped Perx to develop its easy-to-use mobile app alongside sophisticated rewards software.
"Jobs for NSW is now helping Perx in the next stage with a grant to help with clinical and commercial validation, working with the University of Sydney's Boden Institute and with the Sydney Local Health District by assisting diabetes and cardiovascular outpatients," he said.

I'm Actually a Mermaid…
April 9, 2014 in Styled Photo Shoots. Written by Kat Photos by Heline Bekker
There's nothing that evokes childlike wonder quite like mermaids. I don't think there's any girl who watched The Little Mermaid as a kid and afterwards didn't wanted to be one… So when this shoot, although not strictly wedding inspired, landed in my inbox, I knew I wanted to share it with you. It's pure fantasy but that doesn't make it any less fabulous.
"I have a real love of fantasy shoots because you can completely let your imagination run free and bring your ideas to life", wrote photographer Heline Bekker. "Gwenda, who played our mermaid, and I both work in the wedding industry and we do a lot of styled bridal shoots together. But we often talk about doing shoots just for us, something different, something not at all wedding-related, so we can spread our creative wings. Most of the time though, it just finds its way back to weddings…not this time though!"
"When we started talking about doing a mermaid themed shoot, we wanted to keep it as pure fantasy. I love the ocean and always thought of doing a mermaid shoot. When Gwenda told me that as a kid she always wished she could be a mermaid, we knew what we had to do! So we thought up a little storyline to focus on: The mermaid princess giving up her life in the ocean to find love on land. I love having a storyline to focus on when I shoot, even if it's just a small one."
"The fabulously talented make-up artist, Amanda White, agreed to join us in this indulgent bit of escapism. She created for us two looks, the first for the mermaid's emergence from the sea, the second for the mermaid's transformation into human form. Sequin application on a breezy beach was a major challenge, but what a masterpiece!"

Domus 962: Min to Max
In December 2011, Ilka & Andreas Ruby organised the "Min to Max" international symposium in Berlin and brought together a group of architects and scholars, who were asked to redefine the meaning of "Minimum Subsistence Dwelling". As guest editors of this issue of Domus, they developed the topic further with some contributors of "Min to Max", as well as a number of new ones...

Of People and Houses | Architecture from Styria
The 2008/2009 edition of the Haus of Architecture Graz yearbook is a departure from the traditional architectural yearbook. Editors and curators Ilka and Andreas Ruby created Of People and Houses in the spirit of a time capsule rather than an archival document. A distinctive three-part strategy of interviews, drawings and photographs was used to communicate the eleven architectural projects chosen for inclusion in the yearbook...
EM2N. Both And
A book about everything you ever wanted to know about EM2N, but were afraid to ask: why this office wins so many competitions, why they make this kind of architecture even though they come from Switzerland, what buildings by other architects they enthuse about, where they fail, how their floor plans actually function in detail, why, all the same they continue to build models, and how one can construct cities with buildings…
Pavillion To Go
The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2007 was designed by Olafur Eliasson and Kjetil Thorsen.

Dominique Perrault. Meta-Buildings
"A meta-building is a structure that exceeds the customary dimensions of a building to encompass a landscape or a city, both physically and conceptually." This catalogue for the exhibition on Perrault's work held at the Architecture Center in Vienna shows four current projects at four different locations: the two high-rise towers for Vienna in the Donau-City; the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg; the Ewha Campus Center in Seoul; and the Olympic Tennis Stadium in Madrid...
Groundscapes explores the "come-back" of the idea of the ground onto the scene of contemporary architecture. When Le Corbusier in 1925 declared buildings should be put on pilotis he de facto turned the ground into the scorched earth of modernism's quest for progress. The ground was seen as an unwanted linkage with the history, place and gravity which modernism wanted to overcome. With the decline of heroic modernism in the late 1960s a new generation of architects eager to discover this forbidden land initiated a reterritorialisation of architecture which continues until today...
R&Sie…architects. Spoiled Climate
Designed by French graphic artists M/M and edited by Andreas Ruby and Benoît Durandin, this book offers an unusal introduction to the work of French Architects François Roche and Stéphanie Lavaux and their office R&Sie...Unlike normal architectural monographs it foregrounds the conceptual resources of the architects. It stands out by a disciplined use of mostly small-size images and almost completely renounces on descriptive project texts. The reader of the book cannot readily consume the work in a merely visual way, but has to work his or her way through its manifold layers to understand it..
The Challenge of Suburbia
In this issue of AD, guest-editors Ilka & Andreas are scanning the latent potential of Suburbia for radical architectural and urbanist proposals. Featuring case-studies and project prototypes from ten different countries, the issue manifests the universal status of suburbia as a global condition while giving emphasis to local specificities...
Hans Scharoun Haus Möller
The reconstruction work completed in 1999 on the Haus Möller by Hans Scharoun, a listed building in Zermützel near Neuruppin in Brandenburg, has given a second life to a rare example of organic architecture in Germany.

Images. A Picture Book Of Architecture
Today architecture is not only primarily perceived as image, many buildings also look like images themselves. In this large-format volume, hundreds of photographs and illustrations document this major shift from the building as structure to the building as image. This exploration of the use and significance of two-dimensional images in contemporary architecture looks at the works of major designers, showing how certain architectural principles such as color and ornament are becoming again crucial concepts in the contemporary practice of architecture...

In 1999 the Gordon + Breach Publishing Group took over the renowned architectural magazine DAIDALOS and wanted to rejuvenate its agenda and looks.

Seven years in the making, the Basel III rules, which were developed following the 2008 global financial crisis to strengthen bank capital, were finalized in December 2017 by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
The original rules raised questions about the ability of global banks to use internal models to assess various risks and the need to level the playing field in global banking.
The finalized Basel III rules address these concerns, since "at the peak of the global financial crisis, a wide range of stakeholders lost faith in banks' reported risk-weighted capital ratios," the Basel Committee notes.
According to Basel's standardized approach, banks' total assets weighted for risk (credit, operational and market) using their own models cannot be less than 72.5% of the amount calculated with a set formula—also referred to as "output floor"—with a five-year gradual adjustment period starting in January 2022.
Big banks will be required to publish their risk-weighted assets, and the largest banks will be required to provide additional capital on top of the Tier 1 capital of 3% of total leveraged assets.
Divergence of internal risk models in global banks has become significant with respect to operational risk. The new rules seek to standardize those models as well.
Basel III also added several exceptions and unique solutions to address potential spillovers. For mortgages purposes, the rules allow technical measures that reduce the floor for banks' total assets weighted for risk requirements.
While several consumer-finance groups have criticized the "soft" nature of voluntary global banking rules, Basel III is one of the few areas characterized by a strong transatlantic partnership and limited economic protectionism.
While global trade and investment rulemaking suffer from serious disagreements among advanced economies, Basel III rles reflect a consensus reached by banking regulators in most major markets.


We've all heard about the importance of communication in business. Good communication skills are pushed in classrooms, reiterated in workshops to improve business performance, and sold by vendors in almost all disciplines as the one change that will fix your problems. The reason for this is simple: it really is important. Of course you probably figured I was going to say that, but let me explain before you roll your eyes and decide I'm selling something.
What I have noticed most about the people I work with in various business pursuits is their emails. A retail store in Florida had a District Manager who had been promoted through the ranks. He was considered by the company to be one of the better Managers in that area, and when I spoke with him in my store he had good ideas, good plans for implementation, and respect for his employees. Despite that, I'll always remember him as the man whose emails told me to "sale" more products and to not be a door "greater." For all his business acumen, that DM was the joke of our store's management staff because he couldn't spell in his emails. I don't believe this manager couldn't spell the words he constantly misspelled; I think he simply believed it didn't matter. It mattered to us, because we wanted to respect our district manager and to believe that having his job meant something, and he was proving us wrong. I was pretty caught up in the company's internal sales pitch when I walked into that management position in Florida; I believed in the company and defended them to anyone I thought might not like my employer. It took less than a year for this manager to turn me from a dedicated employee loyal to the company to someone who passed up a promotion and ultimately left the company.
As a marketer, I have a lot less than a year to catch the attention of my customers and build loyalty. I have something closer to three seconds to make you care what I'm saying. No room for typos, boring wording, or rambling explanations. But marketing isn't the only place where that's true. A long-winded training slide is likely to be skimmed at best, no matter how important the core concepts being explained are, unless it also contains carefully chosen wording to keep the reader interested. Even in places where we don't expect careful word choice, however, it is important. I gave the example of the district manager I knew, but everyone can find an example of someone who has not been careful with their communication and as a result has alienated coworkers, bosses, or worst, customers. A business can't afford people with under-developed communication skills. Thankfully, communication is something that can be taught. Here are some tips to use and share.
1. Write multiple drafts. Yes, this takes time, and yes, time is money. Just remember, it takes more time for your audience to muddle through an unclear message, misunderstand what you're saying, and then be corrected than it does to carefully plan and compose a message through multiple drafts.
2. Proofread your emails, and get someone else to do it in case you miss something; you don't want to be the laughing stock of the department you are sending it to. This takes more time than throwing something together and sending it, but my management staff lost a lot of time making fun of our DM. Do you think your department won't?
3. Consider your intent and audience. These are often listed separate, but I'm putting them together because I think you can't do one without the other. Before you write, you need to know what you want to get from your audience, which means you need to know who they are, what they want, and what they can give you in return for your effort. Don't write a sales pitch to your IT department, it'll annoy them, but never write an IT explanation to a customer.
4. Be simple and concise. Don't ramble, however important the extra information seems to you. Include only what your audience needs to know to act, and do so with simple word choices. The more complex word is probably more accurate, but it does less good when your reader chooses not to look it up.
5. Finally and most importantly, organize your message in a logical fashion. The best word choice, proofreading, and planning available will do you no good if you jump between topics with no connections and no warning. It is easy to lose your audience if the structure is difficult follow.

The North East region of Victoria supplies 38% of the total surface water for the Murray Darling Basin, despite forming only 2% of the total land area. This water resource is critical for agribusiness, industry, town water supply and environmental flows in the Murray River. Our Natural Resource Management Manager Unit oversees the team that look after river health, water quality, water resources, floodplain, Waterwatch, biodiversity and land functions of the organisation. It broadly covers the operational role of North East CMA.
While the North East CMA is responsible for developing the Regional Catchment Strategy, its implementation is largely achieved through the strong partnerships we have developed with public and private land managers, water authorities, local government, Landcare and other government and semi-government authorities. This unit manages the strategic planning, investment planning, community relationships, Landcare and Advisory Committee functions.
The North East CMA believes in the importance of providing a safe working environment and investing in our people and the systems they use. This unit manages the financial, health and safety, vehicles, human resources, information technology and communication functions of the organisation.


As the most cheerful season of all approaches, you may be down to just a few people on your holiday list. When shopping for singles this year, consider focusing on gifts that keep on giving, providing a feeling of safety and security that can last the whole year through.
From Google Home to Amazon Alexa, smart home devices are evolving rapidly to deliver home experiences that make life better for single homeowners. A smart home hub can monitor everything from house temperature to appliance power usage, and provides real-time alerts delivered to a smart phone in the event that carbon monoxide is detected or there is a water leak.
For a busy millennial with no time to shop, food delivery can be a lifesaver. While Blue Apron and similar celeb-inspired services provide fine dining experiences, plenty of food subscriptions services deliver faster, easy to prepare meal options. These can be perfect for seniors living independently, and reduce the risk of kitchen fires due to absent-mindedness.
While we're on the topic of subscriptions, knowing your single homeowner's favorite things can help guide you in choosing another way to show them you care all year long. Whether their hobby is gaming with friends or just curling up with a good book, there's a subscription for that.
Just having a home security system deters burglars and can help keep single homeowners safer. Trends like geofencing make customizing home security even easier, and a complete set-up could be the ideal housewarming present for a new homeowner on your holiday gift list.
Many Florida homeowners underinsure their homes, especially singles who may think they don't own much worth insuring. Storms and thefts are always a possibility, so an endorsement to their home insurance policy could be the best gift you can give for added protection. Olympus Insurance offers Spartan Expanded Coverage exclusively to Olympus policyholders, with added protections for valuables and increased limits on standard coverage. It even covers business equipment kept in the residence, which makes it a great option for telecommuters.
Any of these options can make it easier for single Florida homeowners, and could turn you into a hero for thinking about their needs. Whether your holiday list includes an independent senior or a single adult son or daughter who just made the big leap to mature homeowner, there's a gift that will be perfect for their peace of mind – and yours.

Q: What is the reason for using "Kt" suffix in Kotlin classes? I was trying to find more details about this decision in the Kotlin documentation but there is no section that "talks" about it. Does anyone know what drove the decision to use the "Kt" suffix in class names in Kotlin? Is it to avoid collision with Java class names, or is there more to it?

A: Unlike Java, Kotlin allows you to define functions that are not inside a class. But if you want Java to talk to Kotlin that becomes a problem. How to solve it? Convert those functions into static methods of a class named as the file with the "Kt" suffix
You can find more info about that in the documentation

A family road trip is supposed to be a lot of fun . . . unless, of course, you're the Heffleys.
The journey starts off full of promise, then quickly takes several wrong turns. Gas station bathrooms, crazed seagulls, a fender bender, and a runaway pig-not exactly Greg Heffley's idea of a good time. But even the worst road trip can turn into an adventure-and this is one the Heffleys won't soon forget.

QPR Director Promises To Recommend His Former Premier League Side To Ebere Eze
in EPL, News, Nigeria, Transfers
The exciting young midfielder has lightened up the Championship for Mark Warburton's side and could be on his way to the Premier League
Queens Park Rangers' director of football, Les Ferdinand, has promised to recommend Newcastle United to Ebere Eze if his former club can cough out the transfer fee for the Anglo-Nigerian.
Ferdinand enjoyed a successful career playing for the likes of Queens Park Rangers, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, and Leicester City, among others.
Still the eighth-highest scorer in the Premier League history, Ferdinand is held in high esteem at Newcastle, where he netted 41 of his 149 EPL goals.
The former England international is a big fan of Eze and has watched him excel in this campaign, scoring 12 goals and eight assists in the second-tier.
Crystal Palace and Tottenham are reported to be considering a £20 million move for the 20-year-old, but Ferdinand has said that he'd be doing all that he could to convince Eze to make the move to Tyneside.
Speaking to Newcastle Fans TV, Ferdinand said: "If you pay enough money for him, you can get him to come!
"I'll be giving him a glowing report in terms of what it's like up there. It's a great place to go and play football, but as long as you lot match our asking price, you can have him no problem!
"People have been asking me about him; even the club said lots of people are talking about him, and I said he's probably in the top six players I've seen.
"He'd be in the top six easily in terms of his ability to control and pass the ball. I think the rest of it will come.
"He's still got bags of energy, and he's got to know how to use that energy in the right areas and how he's going to be effective using his energy in the right areas.
"He's got so much more to come, but he will be a superstar if he keeps his head on and goes to the right place."

Trailblazer Takeaways from Betty Liu
10 success secrets from the journalist, entrepreneur and NYSE Executive Vice Chairman
T-Mobile's Janice V. Kapner with NYSE Executive Vice Chairman Betty Liu
At T-Mobile, we are Trailblazers. We challenge convention, drive change, welcome bold thinking and embrace diversity. We are also well aware that there are a lot of other Trailblazers out there that we can learn from, who can inspire us – and who can make us think hard about what we are doing and how we do it!
So, earlier this year, we kicked off a new internal series called Talking with Trailblazers, a monthly guest-speaker series for T-Mobile employees that brings some of the brightest, most innovative, creative and diverse leaders from across the country inside the company's magenta doors to talk about topics that matter. Recently, T-Mobile's Executive Vice President of Communications and Community Engagement Janice V. Kapner sat down with newly minted Executive Vice Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, award-winning journalist and founder of career advice website Radiate, Betty Liu. In their conversation, Liu shared her top Trailblazer tips for building your personal brand and becoming a successful leader. Here are excerpts.
1. Stop thinking about what you want and start thinking about what you can give.
"When I started at Bloomberg TV, one of the first tasks I was given was to get an interview with Warren Buffet – a 'get' that the team had never 'gotten.' I spent about a year putting in interview requests. Nothing. Then I thought, I need to stop asking him what he can do for me and start thinking of what I can do for him. I started sending him articles on areas he was interested in. Still, radio silence. Then, one day we did a story on one of his companies, and I sent that. He sent back a letter that read, 'That was a really great story, thanks so much.' The next time I asked, I got the interview."
2. Don't underestimate perseverance and grit.
"If you follow your passion and you work really hard, you will get where you want to get. That interview with Warren Buffet? It took three years to land."
3. Ask for help.
"Don't just ask a potential mentor to coffee, ask them how to solve a problem. People who have attained a certain level of success in their lives tend to be givers and helpers."
4. Get out of your comfort zone.
"Working, living or even just traveling abroad is so incredibly important to helping you think outside the box."
5. Know when to press pause.
"I very much believe in work-life integration rather than work-life balance. Don't apologize for wanting to work. But also take time to rest and rejuvenate."
6. Update your idea of diversity.
"Ten years ago, diversity was thought of mainly as the color of our skin or gender. But diversity is also about having people who think differently than one another who can bring in their varied experiences and backgrounds."
7. Be curious.
"Be open and malleable to new ideas and ways of thinking of things. But also be willing to adjust once you get new information."
"Every no is the next step to a yes. Whenever you get a no, it's just no for now, not no forever."
9. Embrace radical candor.
"Give honest, genuine feedback – but with care. A lot of managers feel bad about giving direct feedback. But what they don't realize is that without it, you don't grow."
10. Know your personal brand.
"Go to ten people who know you on a professional level – not your friends or family – and ask them to describe you in three or four words. You'll see certain words pop up over and over – that's your personal brand. It helps you understand how to relate, interact and work with people. Lean into it – let people know who you are."
Over 1,400 employees watched Betty Liu and took her advice to heart, their enthusiastic responses ranging from "Thank you for the great advice and insights!" and "Excited to be hearing from such an inspiring leader" to simply "Incredible." Stay tuned for more takeaways from T-Mobile's Talking with Trailblazers series!
