Pilates is safe enough to do every day. These exercises do not fatique isolated muscle groups, rather the entire body as an integrated unit. To acheive optimal benefit, two or more times a week is recommended.
Pilates tends to turn you upside down more than traditional cardio or weighlifting regimes, so dress accordingly. You will want to wear something comfortable and highly movable, but not so loose that your shirt flies up over your head should you invert your body.
Most people have no problem eating something light(fruit juice or a piece of fruit) 20-30 minutes before class. Ultimately, you will have to use your judgement and learn what works best for your individual needs.
Who is Joseph Pilates and why should we listen to him?
At our studio, we have come to think of Joseph Pilates as a mad scientist of the human body. As a young boy he suffered from a host of ailments, from asthma to rickets. Driven by a deep desire to restore his physical health and conversely, emotional well being, he studied yoga, gymnastics, diving, skiing, and even boxing. His experimentations with and improvisations on all of the various movements he studied became the basis for what is today known as Pilates.
In truth, there is very little firsthand or autobiographical evidence of Joe's research put forth in print. Most of what is known about his teachings and techniques have been passed down through the cadre of teachers who worked directly with him in his 1940's Manhattan studio. While countless writings on Pilates have come out in recent years, only two books were ever penned by Joe himself. One of the two books he set in print, Return to Life through Contrology, is brimming over with his zeal and passion for the movements he invented.
Joe's own musings reflect his utter astonishment at the power of his method: "I must be right. Never an aspirin. Never injured a day in my life. The whole country, the whole world, should be doing these exercises. They'd be happier." - Joseph Hubertus Pilates, in 1965, age 86. Joe observed the dramatic transformations in his and his clients bodies, even though he did not have the scientific terminology for what he was achieving. In a sense, for Joe and his students, the "proof was in the pudding".
With recent developments in physiological knowledge, Joe's true genius is understood. The movements recruit larger, more superficial muscles alongside their supporting cast of smaller deeper muscles that are more difficult to access. Essentially you will become a long and lean machine, teaching your muscles to work in concert, whether you are salsa dancing or carrying groceries on one hip and an infant on the other.
What are these machines about?
During the years of WWI, Joe was interned as hospital "Nurse-Physiotherapist". There he taught wrestling, self-defense,and a rudimentary form of what would later become his mat exercises. It was here that he began refining and teachingall of his methods to injured patients. Bed rest was the norm in those days, so he was told, "you can do anything you like with them, as long as they stay in bed".
So Joseph took the springs from the beds and rigged them up to the bed posts as exercise apparatus for the bedridden! Thus was born the Trapezium table ("Trap Table"). He was astonished by the rehabilitative capacity of these exercises performed using springs as resistance. Essentially, the springs supported the patients' bodies just enough to eliminate joint strain, but not so much that the muscles were not doing any work.
Therein lies the beauty of the Pilates equipment. Clients were able to execute seemingly impossible movements with finesse and control, accessing muscles that are often overshadowed by the larger, more superficial muscle groups. He was training the patients' bodies to recruit both the large and the small muscles that create movement in the body. One muscle group could not become proportionately larger as his machines forced all muscles to work together harmoniously.
What are the differences between the machines?
The reformer (aka the 'universal reformer) is the most user friendly and comprehensive piece of equipment. It assists the beginner, yet maintains a challenge for the advanced. The machine gives the practitioner tangible reminders of posture and alignment that can often be difficult to access on the mat. This machine most comprehensively addresses full body conditioning.
The springboard takes the principles learned on the reformer and challenges them on a vertical, rather than horizontal, plane of movement. The springboard varies from the reformer in one very distinct way: the arm springs and leg springs are separate rather than guided by a pulley system. This not only requires a greater degree of stability, but also prevents right or left muscular dominance-facilitating asymmetrical movements that deeply challenge postural muscles. If that's too jargony, we're talking bout yall's bellies and backs. The springboard is an adaptation of the classical Trap table. Essentially, it saves space and allows for group instruction.
The Wunda chair was originally intended to mask itself as a chair for the living room that could turn into a comprehensive piece of exercise equipment (a veritable Clark Kent into Superman if you will). It was Joseph Pilates' vision that every living room in America would have one. The Wunda Chair is much less stable or supported than either the reformer or springboard, thus requiring a more developed sense of balance, strength, and agility. This piece of equipment addresses the needs of the client that is growing in strength. While the reformer is extremely stable and supportive, the chair flips you to vertical and does not offer the same level of balance guidance.
Whether you are brand new or advanced and strong, the genius of the Pilates system is that there is a machine that meets you where you are. There is always a delicate balance of feeling supported enough that your muscles are not straining to maintain form, yet remaining muscularly challenged. This will remain a continuing dialougue between you and your instructor whatever level of progression you are in.
What brand of equipment do you use?
Balanced Body. There is no comparison. It is simply the best.

Custom contrived: Tower Hill Druid Ceremony of Spring Equinox
One of the most wonderful things about our great capital is its juxtapositions and on the spring equinox, either the 20th or 21st of March, a curious and ancient assemblage can be seen undertaking a timeless ritual on London's Tower Hill.
London's Tower hill has changed over the years, where the area was once one big open space, it is now carved up into areas for ticket booths, cafes and souvenir shops it has much changed since the times when this hill was sacred to the Celts and their Druid order and even since 1956!
Despite train delays and no Circle or Hammersmith and City Line I managed to arrive at 11.30. The sun was beginning to shine suggesting that yes spring was finally arriving. A small crowd had assembled on the Tower Hill platform. I was informed that they were waiting in the café. I thought I would investigate…I was rather intrepid in my investigation. Let me explain. I had always been fascinated by 'modern' Druids. Who were they? Why were they Druids? What did they do? In the days before the Internet, information was hard to come by and although I had read about the Druid's equinox ceremony, finding any information back in the 1980s when I had first become aware of it, was difficult. Did they not want tourists to know? I was also slightly intrepid, as I thought I'd find the Druids sitting around having a latte and a piece of carrot cake. It would spoil the mystical illusion. Fortunately they were not hob-nobbing with an Earl Grey but were standing silent in their pristine white cloaks, in a small space beside the church. A symbol perhaps of their older association with the established church as many revival druids were also vicars!
Druid awakenings
Revival!? Of course these Druids are a revived group. That is not to say its members feel affinity and maybe even DNA with those ancient Celtic priests, the custom, a contrived one, in the nicest possible way. The revival of this ancient order came in the time of great enlightenment combined with a great love of the Classical and Celtic worlds and a desire to learn about the great stone circles such as Stonehenge fostered by the works of antiquarians such as William Stukeley, John Aubrey and John Toland, author of History of the Druids. It was their fascination with Avebury and Stonehenge which must have fostered a desire to restore the Druid to Britain. Stukeley is perhaps the most well-known of these 'druids' who despite being a vicar, sermonised Druid ideals in his church and even built a Druid Grove in his vicarage garden. He appeared to be the Arch Druid but perhaps the three men's interests never spread further than that!
However, it another group of men, who met in taverns in London to form the Ancient Order of Druids in 1781. In the 19th century, an Edward Williams became publishing books on Druidism, said he claimed to have been based on ancient Welsh manuscripts he had discovered. Taking the name Iolo Morganwg he composed the Iolo Manuscripts in 1848 and Barddas in 1862. He held gatherings, which he called the Gorsedd of Bards of the Isles of Britain. Long after his death it was discovered his so called ancient manuscripts were fakes but nevertheless his teachings remained of importance to the growing movement. Since then the Druids appear to have quietly thrived, although divisions and tension, like any faith have and do exist. For example a break away Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids were established in 1963 leaving the Druid Order celebrate at Tower Hill.
Why the Tower of London? For the Druids it was believed that the ancient the head of the Celtic God king Bran was buried beneath the hill (his birds being the ravens which still guard over the Tower). It was also thought that the site was aligned with the midsummer sunrise. It was identified as one of the city's sacred sites being called Bryn Gwyn. Thus in 1956, the Ceremony of the Spring Equinox was established at there and has continued ever since and say its 60th anniversary in 2016.
Towering above
The Druids process in silence behind their sword bearer out the side of the church, along Byard Street, passing iconic red telephone boxes and the dreaded Tower green across the road and even KFC and onto their ceremonial arena. Here the order form a large circle and the ritual begins. Despite the roar of the cars on the road nearby and the strange smells from KFC down below us it was still possible to be drawn into the spell of the Druids and feel as if we were experiencing this ancient ritual divorced from the hubbub of the metropolis.
The Druids like any group have specific roles. The sword bearer, the triad, the Chief, Pendragon and scribe representing the rays of Awen, the herald, who organises and announces, the Lady, brightly coloured with flowers in her crown represents the Earth Mother, Ceridwen.
The circle is in silence awaiting the church chiming 12 one of the congregation raises a trumpet and a blast signals the start the ritual. This ritual is done with a smooth almost mesmeric pattern, each activity set to pronounce and energise.
Indeed the ceremony's purpose was clearly to reconnect with our natural world on this day when the day slightly becomes longer than the night. To retune and realign. The Earth Mother must be thanked, so seeds were ceremonially spread across the ground by the Presider and water libated upon the earth to simulate the rise in fertility. Indeed it was this idea of spring fed fertility that was the focus of the Chief's 'sermon' who spoke of the role of the adrenal gland in our awareness of nature's demands.
A pause came when the congregation held hands and for a moment, just for a small moment, their silence appeared to permeate across the hustle and bustle of Tower Hill's tourist traps. A well needed silence in our busiest time. Then at the end, four Element –bearers representing the four elements stand in the centre facing North, South, West and East to pass on the energy to re-align and re-tune.
Whatever you feel about Druids and what they represent, who they are and why they do it, it is clear that they consider two things I feel we miss in our urban life – a time to reflect and a time for nature and I for one cannot disagree to with this. The ceremony was a very uplifting and poignant one.

The Doors 'Rescue' Last Known Unissued Studio Tune for Blues Comp
Ryan Reed Published: September 13, 2022
The Doors will finally release the previously unheard "Paris Blues" — described as the band's "last known unissued studio recording" — as part of a new blues-themed compilation of the same name.
Paris Blues is out Nov. 25 as part of Record Store Day's Black Friday event. The limited-edition set (10,000 numbered copies) will be available on translucent blue vinyl, with an original cover painting by guitarist Robby Krieger.
The title song has been the source of endless fascination for hardcore Doors fans. It was recorded during the sessions for either 1969's The Soft Parade or 1971's L.A. Woman, but the master tape was lost, and the only surviving copy was given to keyboardist Ray Manzarek. However, that copy was damaged after his son Pablo, then a toddler, recorded over certain sections. Now, according to a press release, the song has been "rescued" through the use of "creative editing."
While the Doors apparently can't agree on the exact origins of "Paris Blues," Krieger wrote in his 2021 book, Set the Night on Fire, that the song originated from their designated "blues days" while recording L.A. Woman. Reflecting on the long-lost track, he wasn't very complementary.
"It wasn't good enough to make the album and we didn't put it out later because the master tapes and my personal cassette dub were lost," he wrote. "The only copy that survived was Ray's cassette dub, but one day he left it inside a tape recorder and his then-infant son, Pablo, started playing with the buttons. At several points on the tape, the music abruptly cuts out and all you can hear is Pablo making gurgling noises. Even without Pablo's remixing, though, it's just not that great of a tune. There's a reason it was considered an outtake, and there's a reason we were never too concerned about the masters going missing. Pablo was probably trying to do us all a favor."
In a 1997 fan Q&A, Manzarek also dated the song to the L.A. Woman era and said they were "saving" "Paris Blues" for future use. He called it a "funky blues" and "not that special."
Paris Blues features two previously unreleased live duo recordings of Krieger and singer Jim Morrison at a West Hollywood benefit for Norman Mailer's mayoral campaign on May 31, 1969. The first is "I Will Never Be Untrue," an original written for but scrapped from 1970's Morrison Hotel; the second is a cover of Robert Johnson's "Me and the Devil Blues."
Side One also includes two Soft Parade outtakes, "(You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further" and "I'm Your Doctor," which feature Manzarek on vocals, backed by Krieger and drummer John Densmore. Stone Temple Pilots bassist Robert DeLeo added bass to both cuts for the 50th-anniversary edition in 2019.
The second side feature three tracks from Live in Vancouver 1970, previously released in 2010. The material, recorded June 6, 1970, in Vancouver, highlights the work of revered blues singer-guitarist Albert King, who joined the Doors onstage.

The relevance of the Lewy body to the pathogenesis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
In view of the common and widespread occurrence of this disorder we propose that endogenous mechanisms operating in early life may be more important than environmental agents in the pathogenesis of Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease
W R Gibb; A J Lees
Alzheimer disease
pathogenesis
environmental agent
Lewy body
cerebral peduncle
In an attempt to clarify the size and characteristics of the population with incidental Lewy body disease we have examined 273 brains obtained from two sources
50s may be an overestimate and a figure more in line with that of 1 8% in reported studies is suggested. In these studies over 140 brains of persons in their 40s were examined suggesting that the prevalence for Lewy bodies in this decade is less than 07%. These observations conform to the hypothesis that incidental Lewy body cases have the same progressive pathology as that seen in Parkinson's disease
Some incidental Lewy body cases could represent preclinical cases of Parkinson's disease with a substantially slower rate of progression, the indistinguishable morphological changes suggest that the basic pathogenetic mechanisms are similar
The speed of age-related cell loss in the substantia nigra has not been clearly established, but is probably not substantial. An early life origin has been proposed in order to explain lifelong personality differences and onset of disease as early as the third decade. Probable lines of research should include a search for endogenous neurotoxins

Green tea's skin benefits are all over the media these days. It's been flaunted as a cure for everything ranging from acne to aging skin. Green tea is a tasty and healthy drink, filled with powerful antioxidants. While its skin benefits do work well from the inside out, green tea can also be used topically on your skin.
I like to use green tea for a refreshing face wash or as an antioxidant-rich addition to my clay face masks.
However, not all green tea is created equal! It's important to use high-quality organic tea and brew it correctly to get the most skin benefits out of your tea.
I always try to purchase loose leaf organic tea. Bagged green tea is often lower quality and less fresh, as it's typically made from loose tea leftovers. Opting for loose tea also allows you to explore and blend different types of tea. While some research has suggested that bagged tea has higher antioxidant levels, I believe the whole tea leaf provides a much better experience. When you drink loose leaf tea, you can taste the freshness, aromas, and flavors of its essential oils. The same applies when you use it topically on your skin.
Aim to only use green teas without other flavors added. I also like to use white tea, which is very lightly processed green tea and has numerous benefits for the skin.
Brewing tea is all about the water temperature. While we typically bring our water to a boil, fine green tea is actually brewed below boiling at about 170-180 °F. The finer the leaves, the lower the temperature should be. For example, white tea should generally be brewed at about 165 °F. Steeping your tea at a lower temperature helps to maintain the quality of the antioxidants during the brewing process.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of loose leaf tea into a cup. (For the face wash, I brew a stronger cup of tea than I would normally drink).
Cover the tea with the water and let it steep for 10 minutes. Brewing for 10 minutes appears to be a sweet zone for extracting antioxidants.
When the tea cools to a comfortable and safe temperature, you can use it as a simple face wash. I'll also use this as the liquid component of my clay face masks to add an extra cleansing and antioxidant boost.
Please Note: While green tea is safe and a food product, it is always best to test on a small area before applying it to your entire face.

How a dentist wrote medical history with an iron hand
Friday June 2nd, 2017 Wednesday May 31st, 2017 Fabian Till Schneider
When demand for prostheses increased massively in war-torn Europe at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Pierre Ballif (1775–1831), personal dentist to the King of Prussia in Berlin, developed new technology and in doing so created the basis for the further development of artificial limbs.
The hand prostheses existing at that time after the Coalition Wars had a major drawback in that they could only be operated using the other, healthy hand. The prostheses of the knight Götz von Berlichingen on display in the Götzenburg castle museum are famous. The older model consists of two movable blocks of fingers and a thumb. The newer, much more complex and more celebrated hand prosthesis enables all three joints of the fingers to be moved. In mechanical terms, it is a construction consisting of springs and gut strings. Catches are responsible for locking the moving parts. The hand's original position could be restored at the push of a button.
Based on these prostheses, Ballif was the first, in 1812, to construct an artificial hand that could be used alone through the muscles of the disabled arm:
'La main est susceptible de se mouvoir à volonté, sans le secours de l'autre main; elle peut prendre un verre sur la table, le porter à la bouche et le reposer sur la table sans éffort, avec la même facilité que peut le faire une main naturelle […].' Préface [p. 11]
Ballif's innovation is a complex system of springs and drawstrings connected above the upper arm and shoulder with a chest strap. The hand could be controlled by stretching the arm (see Pl. III, Fig. 3).
Réprésentation exacte en grandeur naturelle d'une main artificielle (…), Pl. III
Even though Ballif's construction represented significant progress and formed the basis for the further development of prostheses, it was not without its critics. Hermann Eduard Fritze found fault with the seemingly unnatural closed fist in the passive state, resulting in a threatening aspect, and particularly the lesser gripping force compared with a system in which muscular strength could be used for closing the fingers.
It was in 1836 that the Berlin instrument maker Margarethe Karoline Eichler refined Ballif's technique in this direction. Stretching the arms led to a closed fist and thus a more effective prosthesis. But Ballif created the first prosthesis that could be moved just with the muscles of the amputated arm and wrote history with this iron hand. Anyone also interested in studying Ballif's leg prosthesis is cordially invited to view the work online at e-rara.ch.

Home Nigeria How Many Viewers Watch Esports Events?
How Many Viewers Watch Esports Events?
Over the years, esports have grown bigger and bigger. Esports viewership have reached a peak in the past years, with viewers reaching over two billion.
As incredible as it sounds, the esports industry pulls over a billion dollars; it gets better knowing a bunch of that sum comes from viewers.
The puzzling question is what, who, and where are these esports viewers.
Relax, as always- we got you covered. Over 20% of internet watch esports tournaments; esports games have recently become an accepted way of entertainment among several people worldwide.
Join in as we follow all there is to know on esports viewing; come along!
Who's Watching?
Youngsters make up over 70% of esports viewers on the internet; over 50% of esports gaming is watched by persons from the ages 16 to 34 years old, with Asia taking the lead on the continent with the highest number of esports tournaments.
There's also room for older people, but not many of the elderly watch esports games. Less than 10% of esports viewers are above 50 years old.
Where Are Esports Tournament Mostly Watched?
Asia has an astonishing population of esports fans, with China having 40% of its internet users watching esports games.
That's not all- Vietnam follows closely in second place with 33% of internet users watching esports tournaments.
Others are the Phillippines with 29%, Indonesia with 26%, and Thailand closing the top five list with 25% of internet users viewing esports tournaments.
India, South Korea, U. A. E, Taiwan, and Turkey all make up the top ten list.
Sadly, a minute 6% of internet users in the United States watch esports tournaments, placing the U.S on the 37th spot on the list.
What Are the Best Games to Watch?
Let's face it- there's a whole lot of tournaments to watch; there's a high chance one would be most likely to watch esports games they either know or have played before.
Being open-minded to explore new tournaments is key to having fun with esports, so one best way to explore is by watching several new esports tournaments and catching the most entertaining games.
The quality graphics of a game also attracts viewers, especially the newbies in the industry.
In 2019 some of the most popular esports tournaments were:
Dota-2: Defence of the Ancients 2, or simply Dota- 2 is a big deal amongst gamers today. The attractive graphics and challenging scenes excites viewers and gamers beyond expectations. The tournament is currently one of the most popular esports events viewed, with a viewing population of 1.96 million.
League of Legends: mostly referred to as LoL, the game is a multiplayer online battle arena that offers newbies a platform to show their hungry gaming skills. LoL also has cool graphics but is a bit easier when compared to the Dota-2 tournament. LoL is the most-watched tournament in 2019, with 3.98 million viewers.
Fortnite: Yeah! I could tell what's on your mind. How cool would it get! Fortnite has all it takes to be entertained by a game, with off the chart options for gamers, to various casual and serious games available; Fortnite is the Disneyland for gaming.
The tournament had 2.33 million viewers in 2019 alone.
Other popular games are Counter-Strike Global Offensive, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void, and Street Fighter V.
Esports gaming is developing quickly and most likely has come to stay for a long time.
If you're thinking of watching these top-notch tournaments or if you are interested in placing a bet on one of the esports betting sites , you could try platforms like Twitch, ESL, and GINX or Youtube Gaming.
Most of these platforms offer free viewing of esports tournaments, with a bulk of advertisers' funds. If you've got extra cash, you could pay to avoid ad popups while viewing. Enjoy!

REPLY ALL: A Photography Series by Michelle Pawlosky
Michelle Pawlowsky is a multidisciplinary artist based in Montreal, Canada. She is currently studying photography, and frequently works with themes surrounding womanhood, identity, relationships, and her inner world.
Reply All is an ongoing series that aims to explore women's ubiquitous experiences with harassment, assault, and other forms of aggression. This body of work examines the relationships between words and images, and is both about the act of declaration and the healing process that exists as a result.
I was really drawn to the immediacy of Michelle's photography style - it demands attention. I find it really interesting how she combines still life, documentary, and lettering to portray an honest version of the human experience.

The Cultural Identity Crisis in Northern Irish Youth
I think I always knew I was a Catholic, but never really understood what that word actually meant. I grew up in a mixed area but attended a Catholic school, which meant I was sort of in a little bubble, not yet exposed to all the different cultural identities I would meet in this world.
It wasn't until I began secondary school that I was bombarded with a confusing question - are you a Catholic or a Protestant? I knew my answer, but I didn't know what the other one meant. Is there a right and wrong answer? The tone of the question made it seem like there was. It caused me to question what being a Catholic actually meant.
I've never been particularly religious, but I also never really questioned my beliefs up until this point. I soon came to realise that it wasn't necessarily a matter of religion. I'm so glad that I wasn't raised to be sectarian and biased, to the point where I was hardly even aware of what 'The Troubles' was. It made me more open minded, more curious as to what it meant to be a Protestant, rather than simply believing it was the 'wrong' side.
Although it never bothered me, it seemed to be a hot topic for a lot of my peers. I can remember vividly the excitement of going to under 18 discos, but it always came along with fear of saying the 'wrong' answer. For whatever bizarre reason, depending on who asked you, the wrong answer could get you into an unprovoked fight - simply because of religion. Keep in mind we were all about 12/13 years old.
What always frustrated me was the fact that people didn't even know what it was that they were arguing about and had no idea of the history behind it. Most people my age were just absorbing everything their parents felt towards the other side. It was from The Troubles that our generation became the by-product of parent's passion and bitterness.
In recent years I've noticed that this religious elephant in the room, this clash of identities hasn't been as prevalent in my life, however whether this is due to growing up or a change in the times is hard to tell. I often wonder if 12 year olds now still fixate on that burning question.
If I'm being totally honest, I'm still really unsure of how I identify. I've ultimately been given 3 options:
1) British
2) Irish
3) Northern Irish
All of these have preconceptions and connotations added to them. Technically I'm British/Northern Irish, but I relate much more to Irish culture in traditions from the way I was brought up. I'm almost scared to offend anyone. For now I identify as Northern Irish, but I still struggle massively to separate cultural identity from national/geographical identity. I think a lot of people in my generation feel this way.
(Study done by the BBC)
Rather than just focusing on my own opinions and experiences and articles made by old journalists who want to paint youth a certain way, I thought it would be interesting to ask you your thoughts on this on instagram polls, and the answers were really interesting:
I was quite surprised at some of the answers, like how despite the fact Northern Ireland is basically in limbo at the minute, majority of us have quite a strong sense of who we are and how we identify. Despite wishing we knew more about the current political climate of N.I, we have quite a strong interest in politics.
Despite all the endless articles claiming we don't have a notion what we are, it seems that there isn't really a cultural identity crisis in young people after all.

Trump Invokes 'God' Eight Times As First President to Address 'March for Life'
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz | Jan 26, 2020 | Biblical News
Trump addresses the March for Life Speech (courtesy: screenshot)
On Friday, President Trump stood before a crowd of an estimated 100,000 people and became the first U.S. president to address the 47th annual March of Life in Washington D.C., invoking 'God' eight times in his speech.
His address was emphatically faith-based as he said opened his speech by declaring that he and all those attending the March were there "for a very simple reason: to defend the right of every child, born and unborn, to fulfill their God-given potential."
"All of us here today understand an eternal truth: Every child is a precious and sacred gift from God. Together, we must protect, cherish, and defend the dignity and sanctity of every human life."
"When we see the image of a baby in the womb, we glimpse the majesty of God's creation. When we hold a newborn in our arms, we know the endless love that each child brings to a family. When we watch a child grow, we see the splendor that radiates from each human soul. One life changes the world. From my family — and I can tell you, I send love and I send great love."
"Every life brings love into this world," he added later in his speech. "Every child brings joy to a family. Every person is worth protecting. (Applause.) And above all, we know that every human soul is divine, and every human life –- born and unborn –- is made in the holy image of Almighty God."
The address marks a personal turning point for the president as he used to support abortion in his pre-presidential days. Speaking in his signature hyperbole, he declared, "Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House."
Indeed, Trump has put his presidential seal on this personal transition, signing a bill that would allow states to deny funding to Planned Parenthood. Known as the Mexico City Policy, Trump reminded the crowd that he reinstated and expanded the policy in his first week in office.
"I notified Congress that I would veto any legislation that weakens pro-life policies or that encourages the destruction of human life. At the United Nations, I made clear that global bureaucrats have no business attacking the sovereignty of nations that protect innocent life."
With the presidential elections less than one year away, Trump reminded the rally that abortion was an issue divided by a religious and political chasm.
"Sadly, the far left is actively working to erase our God-given rights, shut down faith-based charities, ban religious believers from the public square, and silence Americans who believe in the sanctity of life," Trump said to wild applause. "They are coming after me because I am fighting for you and we are fighting for those who have no voice. And we will win because we know how to win."
He invoked God in his closing comments as well.
"This is a very special moment. It's so great to represent you. I love you all and I say with true passion: Thank you. God bless you. And God bless America. Thank you all."
Trump has also confirmed 187 federal judges and appointed two supreme court justices. In 2018, he was the first sitting president to address the Campaign for Life event, sponsored by the Susan B Anthony List pro-life political action group.
The presidential participation in the pro-life rally also marks what many believe is a change in the abortion battleground, with the left transitioning from the popular liberal battle-cry of "safe, legal and rare", a position formerly held by Hillary Clinton in former years, to her revised 2016 presidential campaign platform of on-demand and late-term abortions. In 2016, the Democratic party for the first time included in its platform a call to repeal the Hyde Amendment, a decades-old law that prohibits using taxpayer money for abortions. It should be noted that with the exception of Tulsi Gabbard, no Democrat running for the party nomination in 2020 has expressed support for restrictions on late-term abortions.
It seems that Trump's involvement is having an impact. Last year, 17 states enacted some form of abortion restriction, according to the Guttmacher Institute
The annual March of Life began in 1974 on the first anniversary of the controversial Supreme Court Case of Roe v. Wade which is cited as protecting a pregnant woman's liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. Based on questionable jurisprudence that is still debated today, the decision infringed upon the rights of the states to set their own legislation as well as the humanitarian rights of the unborn.
Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush addressed marchers remotely and Mike Pence became the first sitting vice-president to attend the rally in 2017.


My Midwestern roots make me hypersensitive to being polite. It is a sickness. I've been known to take my backpack into the hallway when people are sleeping so I won't disturb anyone.
There are many unwritten rules to hostel etiquette and after spending a few weeks in a hostel you'll start to pick up on the little annoying/rude things people do. I think most "infractions" boil down to being inexperienced with hostel living, but there are a few cardinal rules that every hosteler should be aware of.
Here are The Savvy Backpacker's unwritten rules to being a good hostel goer.
Hostels with kitchens are great, but many people just leave their dirty dishes in the sink. This isn't cool. Even if you only use a cup – wash it. It only takes 2 minutes so there are no excuses.
When I have to check-out of the hostel super early I always get everything ready and shower the night before. I make sure everything is packed, and I set out my outfit for the next day. The next morning I get dressed, stash my sleeping clothes and I'm out of the room in 5 minutes. I do my best to keep as quiet as possible. This concept is lost on many people. There aren't many things more annoying than someone spending 30 minutes loudly packing all of their belongings at 5 am.
The next morning I get dressed, stash my sleeping clothes and I'm out of the room in 5 minutes. I do my best to keep as quiet as possible. This concept is lost on many people. There aren't many things more annoying than someone spending 30 minutes loudly packing all of their belongings at 5 am.
Every hostel has one jerk who barges into the room and flips the lights on at 3 am. Most rooms aren't pitch black so just take 30 seconds to let your eyes to adjust to the light before finding your bed. Or use a key chain flashlight or the light from your phone.
The dorm room isn't for drinking games, it's for sleeping. Almost every hostel has a room for parties. Keep it there.
Rule 37 of the Geneva Convention – Thou shall not get pissed at the people packing/getting ready for their day if the time is after 8 am. In our humble opinion, after 8 am people are free to do whatever they please so don't all get pissy because you're hungover. There is no such thing as sleeping in when you're at a hostel.
For some reason, the sound of plastic bags is about 100x louder from about 1am-8am. Every crinkle goes straight to your brain. Unfortunately, a lot of people pack all their junk in various plastic bags. Please keep your plastic bag usage time during the day.
Sleep on your side if you snore. Tell your roommates that it's cool if they hit you with a pillow if you start snoring. Get your own room is you're a crazy loud snorer.
The radiator is a great place to dry your towel/wet clothes, but try not to hog it all day. Conversely, don't just throw people's towels onto the floor when you want to use the heater – fold it neatly and place it somewhere.
Whispering late at night isn't much better than normal talking. This isn't the time to have a deep philosophical discussion.
Most people use their phone as an alarm clock. This isn't a problem. But please don't stash your phone somewhere deep in your bag because scrambling through it for 5 minutes while the alarm goes off is pretty damn annoying. Make sure you put your phone in an accessible location. On a related note: the snooze is prohibited.
Getting drunk is fine, but leave the loud drunk-talk at the bar.
Get in, get out. Enough said.
Just because something is in the refrigerator doesn't mean anyone can eat it. Stealing someone's alcohol is a big no-no.
I really don't have a problem with people drying their laundry in the room – but keep it confined to your bed. I really don't want to deal with your dirty socks hung about the bathroom and across the sink.
Seriously? You're so damn cool with your guitar. It really shows how you're so unique. Please don't play it in the room…. actually, don't play it in the hostel.
Traveling with friends can be great, but make an effort to talk to other people. Make solo-travelers feel welcome. Walking into a dorm room to find a bunch of buddies that completely ignore your presence is disheartening, I know from experience.
Just because the internet is free doesn't mean you can spend all day using the hostel computer. You really shouldn't need to spend more than 10 minutes on the computer. Check your email, book your next hostel, and leave.
Alright, enough of the negative. Let's talk about ways to make friends while staying in a hostel.
If you're traveling in a group you should go out of your way to talk to solo travelers. As someone who has done a lot of solo travel, I always loved it when groups made an effort to include me because it can be intimidating to talk to a group of established friends.
One of the best ways to meet people is to simply introduce yourself. I know it sounds simple but it's something I know I'm guilty of doing.
Everyone loves you if you give them free beer. That's why I'll buy a case of cheap beer and hand it out around dinner time. It's the best €10 you can spend.
If your hostel has a kitchen, and you can cook, then you should try organizing a meal. Have everyone throw in a bit of money and make a big meal. Even something as simple as spaghetti is a great option.
Hostels never seem to have enough power outlets — especially that everyone travels with loads of electronics. Pack a travel power strip and you'll be a hero. The power strips with USB ports are extra great.

The Chimerical Mind of Miro
Review: 'Miro: Birth of the World' at the Museum of Modern Art
The Hunter (Catalan Landscape) / Artists Rights Society, New York / ADAGP, Paris
Emily Ferguson - March 24, 2019 5:00 AM
Joan Miro enjoyed no closer relationship than that between his mind and his canvas. The painter was placid and reticent even to those who knew him well; he could sit with friends for hours without saying a word. Miro kept his studio as tidy as a doll's house, scrubbing himself head to toe after carefully cleaning his brushes and lining up his tubes of paint when he completed a long day of work. He then donned his neat clothes, which echoed his background as a Catalan peasant but still a member of an elite Parisian arts scene.
Yet behind the clean-cut exterior was an insatiable attraction to artistic chaos—Miro said he wanted to "assassinate painting." Until June 15, the New York Museum of Modern Art's exhibit "Miro: Birth of the World" will reveal the artist's myriad styles and ideas that blossomed on canvas, and his laborious path to illustrate complete freedom.

REVIEW: 'Run Hide Fight'
Lawmaker Urges House Leadership to Stop Distributing Communist Propaganda Paper
Miro (1893-1983) was born in Barcelona and moved between the Catalonia countryside and Paris for much of his life. His pride in his Catalan heritage was a feature of his art throughout. Catalans valued freedom above all else, which was symbolized in the red wool caps peasants wore and which often can be seen in Miro's paintings. His father was a goldsmith, his grandfather was a blacksmith, and his preferred simple rural life kept him both grounded and dreamy.
"We Catalans believe you must always plant your feet firmly on the ground if you want to be able to jump into the air," he said. "The fact that I come down to earth from time to time makes it possible for me to jump all the higher."
Still Life II. / Artists Rights Society, New York / ADAGP, Paris
Visitors young and old who gather at the MOMA may see the meaning of radical freedom in Miro's work, distinguished by sinuous, delicate marks that radiate spontaneity and impulsivity. Perhaps the best example in the exhibit is The Hunter (Catalan Landscape) (1923-24). The landscape is not meant to be a reflection of "outer reality," Miro said. The painting, which began as a scene of a peasant making lunch, turned into a dazzling, chimerical scene of detailed, geometric shapes atop beds of soft rose and oily green. The effect is dizzying and odd, marked by an eye bordered by fleshy pink that stares at you from the canvas. It "is the eye of the picture staring at me," Miro said.
Miro experimented with his era's fashionable movements—Fauvism and Cubism—but some of his most captivating works are "detaillist" paintings. He homed in on meticulously shaded, diminutive shapes and squiggly lines to render plants or stones. He called this determination to concentrate on the smallest parts of the picture part of his "slow understanding."
"Joy at learning to understand a tiny blade of grass in a landscape. Why belittle it?" he said. "A blade of grass is as enchanting as a tree or a mountain."
The small details in his still life paintings beckon visitors to gaze at otherwise simple images. When Pablo Picasso looked at Still Life II (1922), he declared, "This is poetry." An orange trapezium exudes a shaft of sunlight surrounded by gray-green shadow. A meticulously rendered slice of tomato rests in the lower left corner, next to a shining oil can. In Glove and Newspaper (1921), Miro turned the canvas so the width was shorter than the length to make the still life a portrait. The simple twist makes the painting more arresting. Many museum-goers claim that most still life paintings are boring—Miro's grasp of composition and placement kicked that idea to dust.
Because Miro's whimsical paintings easily mystify the viewer, it is no surprise that he approached his work as a spiritual performance. He constantly read poetry and the works of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa Avila, and his paintings achieve his goal to echo poetic rhythm. "Before taking up paper and pencil I carefully washed my hands," he said, "and then worked as if performing a religious act." He understood painting and aesthetics as aspects of creation that surpassed human reason, and this way of thinking is most visible in his Surrealist works.
Mural Painting / Artists Rights Society, New York / ADAGP, Paris
In 1924, Miro joined the Surrealist movement. The movement's founder, Andre Breton, considered Miro's involvement integral, and even argued that Picasso likely joined the group because of him. The MOMA has hung some of Miro's most famous Surrealist pieces on its walls. A few are marked by nonsensical Dadaism, but they repay patient viewing. The Birth of the World (1925), a Mural Painting (1950-1) that he made on a commission for Harvard University, and the Portrait of Mrs. Mills in 1750 (1929) all show Miro's unique grasp of the two movements. The Portrait of Mrs. Mills engages the eye with strange shapes and bright, flat colors, which are given dimension by negative space in the painting. Meanwhile, The Birth of the World is simple, with a grayish-brown background that provides space for a red circle, black shapes, and delicate lines that shoot out like debris forced from an explosion.
All but one of Miro's paintings on wood are an evaluation of female form. But Miro's radically free expression, unfettered by reason, renders the body unrecognizable—body parts are elongated into amorphous shapes that swell with blazing colors. Bathing Woman (1932), with its bright yellow colors and color-blocked background, is intensely painted; shading reveals specific planes of shape, even if the shape doesn't make sense in terms of the subject. It is as if Miro took the knuckle of his subject and expanded it like a balloon, placing it next to an elongated crease of an elbow. It may not
The Birth of the World / Artists Rights Society, New York / ADAGP, Paris
make sense, but Miro's painting was Miro's mind.
As the Spanish Civil War advanced, Miro was visiting Paris and decided to stay. There, in 1937, he created Still Life With Old Shoe. The painting is both dark and bright, with psychedelic patterns you would find on a 1980s' windbreaker. The colors are so fierce it takes time before the eyes can focus on the forms they reveal: a shoe, a fork, a bottle. This still life is a far departure from his stylized early works. In Paris, although inspired, Miro felt uprooted from his favorite surrounding: the countryside. His anxiety caused him to explore "something absolutely different," to find through painting "the deep and poetic reality of things."
The MOMA's exhibit challenges the imagination. Visitors will leave inspired by new shapes, perspectives, and individuality. It is difficult to find inspiration from other artists in many of Miro's works. He would take the latest movements and twist them into something completely new. In a biography by his friend Jacques Dupin, Miro is described as slow-moving and deliberate, with a ferocious compulsion to paint. And this compulsion was driven by his own need for complete freedom. Miro strove to find it in his mind and in nature, documented on canvas.
"May God grant that I never lack for Holy Anxiety," he once said. "It is thanks to her that men progress."

You guys have prevented more than one disaster.
Your Cannondale is threaded for a 68 mm wide English bottom bracket. A 105 crank will work with an Ultegra bottom bracket IF they are the same type, i.e. square taper OR Octalink OR external cup.
We need to know the model number of both the crank and the bottom bracket and the width of the bottom bracket spindle. There were numerous 105 and Ultegra cranks and bottom bracket types and designs and they aren't interchangable.
Please don't be offended but E-bay is not the place to be purchasing bicycle components unless you know exactly what you need.

Well that's because it's talking about two different standards, mentioning both Hollowtech (external bearings, spindle attached to spider) and octalink (internal bearings, spindle integrated with the bottom bracket)... so at least to me, that info doesn't mean anything.
If you can provide a close up of the bottom bracket and crankset (preferably left side) you should be able to determine what kind it is without dissasembling it. You could also bring it to your LBS and they can probably ID the type on-site.
Also know that replacing a bottom bracket takes several specific tools (more if internal) and sometimes some frame work done. The simplest way to do it is to give it to the LBS. It should not be a terribly expensive job, even after the cost of the replacement part.
The first line describes the crank as a 9-speed era 105 double (two chain rings) which requires a 109.5 mm Octalink V-1 bottom bracket. There are two Octalink standards and V-1 is used on the upper level road cranks and a couple of MTB cranks. The 105 takes the V-1. The 130 is the bolt circle diameter of the chainrings in mm and that's a very common size. The 43.5 mm is the chainline. Hollowtech was the Octalink design. Hollowtech II is the external cup design.
This crank takes the BB-6500 or BB-5500 in 109.5 mm spindle length and English threading.
So, if you get these from E-bay, do you know how to install them?


How do you react in the line of fire? Are you able to remain calm in a storm? Defending against a threatening attack on your own king is one of the most difficult aspects to master in chess. Yet given the frequency of such offensives, it's certainly worthwhile investing a good amount of time on honing the ability to defend properly. In this valuable and entertaining book, Angus Dunnington arms the reader with all the necessary skills to be able to cope with vicious assaults on his or her king. Using illustrative games, Dunnington investigates in depth defensive ideas such as blockading, giving up material and the timely launch of counterattacks. Read this book and defend with confidence! As is commonplace with the renowned Starting Out series, there are an abundance of notes, tips and warnings throughout the book to help the improving player.

What is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine and brain?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a large magnet, radiofrequencies, and a computer to make detailed images of organs and structures within the body. In this case, the images are of the brain and spine. MRI is used to help diagnose a health problem.
The MRI machine is a large, tube-shaped machine that creates a strong magnetic field around the patient. Some look like narrow tunnels. Others are more open. This magnetic field, along with a radiofrequency, alters the hydrogen atoms' natural alignment in the body. Computers are then used to form 2-D images of the brain or spine based on the activity of the hydrogen atoms. Cross-sectional views can be done to show more details. MRI does not use radiation, like X-rays or CT scans.
MRI may be used instead of CT when organs or soft tissue are being studied. This is because bones don't obscure the images of organs and soft tissues, as does CT scanning.
Functional MRI of the brain (fMRI) is used to determine the specific location of the brain where a certain function such as speech or memory happens. The general areas of the brain in which such functions happen are known, but the exact location may vary from person to person. During fMRI imaging of the brain, you will be asked to do a specific task, such as recite the Pledge of Allegiance, while the scan is being done. By pinpointing the exact location of the functional center in the brain, healthcare providers can plan surgery or other treatments for certain brain disorders.
Why might I need an MRI of the spine and brain?
MRI may also be done to help plan surgeries of the spine, such as decompression of a pinched nerve or spinal fusion. Or is can be use to look for problems after surgery, such as scarring or infection. It can also help to identify the specific part of the brain controlling a function, such as speech or memory, to help in treating a condition of the brain.
There may be other reasons for your healthcare provider to recommend MRI of the spine or brain. Talk with your healthcare provider about the reason for your MRI.
What are the risks of an MRI of the spine and brain?
There is no risk of exposure to radiation during an MRI procedure.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or think you may be. In general, there is no known risk of MRI in pregnancy. But in the first trimester, MRI should only be used to look at very important problems or suspected problems.
If contrast dye is used, there is a risk for allergic reaction to the dye. Tell your provider if you are allergic or sensitive to medicines, contrast dye, or iodine.
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a very rare but serious complication of MRI contrast use in people with kidney disease or kidney failure. If you have a history of kidney disease, kidney failure, kidney transplant, liver disease, or are on dialysis, be sure to tell the MRI technologist or radiologist before getting the contrast dye.
There may be other risks depending on your specific helath condition. Be certain your healthcare provider knows about all of your health conditions.
How do I get ready for an MRI of the spine and brain?
Your healthcare provider will explain the procedure to you and give you a chance to ask questions. Make a list of questions and discuss these and any concerns with your healthcare provider before the procedure. Consider bringing a family member or trusted friend to the medical appointment to help you remember your questions and concerns and to take notes.
If your procedure involves the use of contrast dye, you will be asked to sign a consent form that gives permission to do the procedure. Read the form carefully and ask questions if anything is not clear.
Generally, you don't need to fast or limit any activities before an MRI procedure.
You may get medicine (sedative) to help you relax before the procedure, so plan to have someone drive you home afterward.
Based on your health condition, your healthcare provider may have other instructions for you on how to get ready.
What happens during an MRI of the spine and brain?
MRI may be done on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.
You will be asked to remove any clothing, jewelry, eyeglasses, hearing aids, hairpins, removable dental work, or other objects that may get in the way of the procedure.
If you are to have an MRI with contrast, an IV (intravenous) line will be started in your hand or arm for injection of the contrast dye.
You will lie on a narrow table that slides into the large circular opening of the scanning machine. Pillows and straps may be used to help prevent movement during the scan.
The technologist will be in another room where the scanner controls are located. However, you will be in constant sight of the technologist through a window. Speakers inside the scanner allow technologist to talk to you and hear you. You will have a call button so that you can let the technologist know if you have any problems during the procedure. The technologist will be watching you at all times and will be in constant communication.
You will be given earplugs or a headset to wear to help block out the noise from the scanner. Some headsets may provide music for you to listen to. During the scanning process, you will hear clicking and thumping noises as the magnetic field is created and pulses of radio waves are sent from the scanner.
It will be important for you to stay very still during the exam. Any movement could cause distortion and affect the quality of the scan.
At intervals, you may be told to hold your breath, or to not breathe for a few seconds. You will then be told when you can breathe. You should not have to hold your breath for longer than a few seconds.
If contrast dye is used, you may feel some effects when the dye is injected into the IV line. These effects include a warm flushing sensation or a feeling of coldness, a salty or metallic taste in the mouth, a brief headache, itching, or nausea. These effects usually only last for a few moments.
You should tell the technologist right away if you feel any breathing difficulties, sweating, numbness, or heart palpitations.
Once the scan is done, the table will slide out of the scanner and you will be helped off the table.
If an IV line was put in, it will be removed.
While the MRI itself causes no pain, having to lie still for the length of the procedure might cause some discomfort or pain, particularly if you've recently been injured or had surgery. The technologist will use all possible comfort measures and complete the procedure as quickly as possible to reduce any discomfort or pain.
On occasion, some people with metal fillings in their teeth may experience some slight tingling of the teeth during the procedure.
What happens after an MRI of the spine and brain?
If any sedatives were used for the procedure, you may need to rest until the sedatives have worn off. You will also need someone to drive you home.
If contrast dye is used, you may be monitored for a period for any side effects or reactions to the contrast dye, such as itching, swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing.
If you notice any pain, redness, and/or swelling at the IV site after you go home, tell your healthcare provider as this could be a sign of infection or other type of reaction.
Otherwise, there is no special type of care needed after a MRI scan of the spine and brain. You may go back to your usual diet and activities, unless your healthcare provider tells you differently.

Designers Want You To Dress Like A Bratz Doll, And So Do I
For those of you who didn't know, fashion works in 20-year cycles. Which means that the things that were popular in 2002, are popular right now. Word of the wise – keep your clothes. Not only is it sustainable, but actually you'll be ahead of the curve when it comes to trends, and rookies will be scouring the vintage sites for clothes you've already got!
Y2K is back, baby, and with that, comes dressing like a Bratz doll. Bratz came out in 2001, and emulated the fashion of the millennium that all the girls were wanting. High pig-tails with fly-aways, platform shoes, pleated mini-skirts with chains, and baby crop tops.
The Italian brand GCDS even collaborated with Bratz, creating GCDS-dressed dolls, bra tops, hoodies, boxer shorts, and a range of novelty "merch" all emblazoned with the Bratz motto, "Passion for fashion." To accompany those boxer shorts? Why not pair with absolute skyscapers of their Divine heels? I love the crystal ones, because I feel like if you're going to wear a show with a 16.5cm heel and a 9cm platform – yes, you read that right, almost seventeen centimetres – I feel like you might as well just go all out and bang some pink crystals allllll over those babies.
Platforms are everywhere to say the least. It started out with Versace's Medusa heels that everyone and their mother tried to buy in a limited black, fuchsia, yellow, and red versions – but due to the overwhelming demand they've extended the colourways to baby blue, baby pink, purple, peach, and including some fab knee-high black leather boots into the fray too. Donatella hasn't stopped there either. With platform wedges in similar colours available for Summer '22, and a pointed toe version coming in patent black and burgundy for Autumn/Winter, we haven't seen the last of the Versace platforms yet.
Valentino followed suit with their chunky patent leather platforms (that I caved in and bought in a very chic cream, and they're continuing on with a strappy, open-toed version for Summer, and in a very special hue of fuchsia pink for Autumn/Winter – also in black, and boot form!
But I digress from shoes, for Blumarine is bringing back the butterfly – a classic Bratz motif (I'm looking at you Yasmin) and a huge motif for the 2000's. Remember Mariah Carey in that butterfly top, or Salma Hayek in that butterfly dress? Well, Blumarine's brought them back, with their SS22 range of denim butterfly tops, butterfly belts, butterfly slip-on heels, and low-rise jeans (low-rise jeans! Pray for us) adorned with colourful butterfly embroidery. Ruffled shirts and mini-dresses bring back old memories; shiny silk halterneck tops paired with low-rise denim just prove that Y2K is back, and if you're not dressing like Sasha (presumably where Beyoncé got the idea of her alter ego from), Cloe (named by someone who definitely did not know how to spell) or Jade (my favourite Bratz and style icon) then you don't get it.
J.Lo is buying into the trend, as not only is she back engaged to Ben Affleck (totally Bratz-inspired, I'm sure) but she was recently seen out on the town wearing her giant green diamond engagement ring, and a pair of very, very low-rise jeans. Here they come, ladies. Brace yourselves.
Even beauty standards are currently Brat-ified, with big, pouty, glossy lips a staple for gorgeous, gorgeous girls, as well as large, eyeshadowed and eyeliner-flicked cat-eyes à la Bella Hadid with her "face tape" (or just PDO threads) to look as snatched as poss.

Apart from collaborating with GCDS, Cult Gaia even has a collection with Bratz, again pushing the butterfly tops, green snakeskin cut-out dresses, and red cropped jackets with the B for Bratz as a clasp.
In the middle of spending all my money on platform shoes (very pleased that they're back in again to be honest as a 5'3" queen) I'll be re-watching that iconic live-action Bratz movie and aspiring to be Janel as Jade as a fashion designer just like I did in 2007 when the movie came out. Because, I? I have that Bratitude, and it's not an attitude.
