If you could bottle inspiration, how much would you sell it for? The answer at TED is: for free.
TED is the dedicated ideas-spreading sensation that has taken the world by storm. But crucially, TED is a non-profit. Since beginning in 1984, TED has been a huge advocate of change – not just a change in ideas or attitudes, but the world too. The famous (and free!) TED Talks have been carefully curated to ensure a never-ending list of inspirational headliners. Each passionate speaker gives a talk in 18 minutes or less, so you could essentially change the world in your lunch break. No pressure guys and gals.
Back in March 2007, a TED Talk was filmed with Richard Branson called "Life at 30, 000 feet." So ten years on, is Branson's Talk still relevant? Here are four lessons from the entrepreneur's TED Talk that still ring true a decade later.
Your colleagues hold the secret to success. But what's a sure-fire way to unlock that success? The fact is, it's not enough to know only where your skills lie. Arguably more important, is taking the time to find out what their skills sets are.
Branson clearly states in his Talk that at the end of the day, "All you have in life is your reputation." It stands to reason then that we should purposefully choose, carve and craft that reputation. So what does that look like in practise? Perhaps this means delivering on promises, dealing with people fairly and well or not shying away from difficult conversations. If we're lucky, it might encompass all of these elements.
The multi-billionaire claims in his TED Talk that, "If I'm not interested in something I don't grasp it." The key learning here is that to truly understand something, we have to want to understand it. One technique is to use the 5 Whys in order to get to the root of a problem. The theory is that by the time you ask the fourth or fifth 'Why' question, you'll have uncovered far deeper insights.
But is there such a thing as asking too many questions? As Pablo Picasso once said, "Computers are useless. They can only give you answers." Would Branson agree? It's doubtful. However, Picasso does have a point – don't underestimate the value of good questions over correct answers.

We have provided ophthalmology and eyecare services in the Fresno area for over 40 years. Our patients come first.
Our follow-up care for LASIK surgery is one of a kind - we are here for you whenever you need.
LASIK surgery (Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular type of laser vision correction that is used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Laser eye surgery is a term widely used to define procedures that correct refractive errors in the eye (which lead to impaired vision), with the help of a highly focused light.
A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens inside your eye and is considered a normal part of the aging process. When light rays enter a healthy eye, they pass through the naturally clear lens where they are focused onto the retina to provide a clear image. When light rays enter an eye with a cataract, they are distorted which creates a hazy or blurred image.
WHEN IS TIME TO THINK ABOUT CATARACT SURGERY?
Cataract surgery is recommended once your vision starts to interfere with your daily activities. An examination by your eye doctor along with a discussion of your vision complaints will determine if it is time to proceed with surgery.
Glaucoma is a group of related eye disorders that can cause damage to the optic nerve, which carries information from the eye to the brain.
When you want to enhance your appearance, cosmetic eyecare is a safe and reliable option. There are a number of elements that affect the eyes and the very thin skin around them.
The retina is an extremely fragile tissue that lines the eye's back wall, consisting mostly of nerves. It is responsible for sending nerve impulses according to the light reflected against it, to the brain, which then forms images based on those impulses. Thus, if the retina is damaged, the images created in the brain will not be accurate, bringing about a change in your vision.
InSight Vision Center is your first choice for LASIK, Glaucoma, Cataract, Blepharoplasty, Eye Surgery and Eye Care Services.
Our team of experienced Ophthalmologists & Optometrists use the latest eye care technology to provide patients the high quality of care they have come to expect from our incredible doctors.
We are backed by a team of qualified, competent & certified eye surgeons in California.
I cannot say enough good things about both Dr. Eric Poulsen and his entire office staff. I recently had LASIK completed and I could not have been better taken care of. Dr. Poulsen is extremely knowledgeable and truly an expert in his field. In addition, he is compassionate, listens, cares, and puts people at ease. The same can also be said about the other health care providers that work in his office. Each person that interacted with me was thoughtful, kind, and considerate. Also, the office worked like clockwork – everyone was on time and attentive. From this point forward, there is no other eye professional I will go see and I would recommend Dr. Poulsen to all my friends and family. Simply put, from my perspective, he is the absolute best!
I had LASIK done about a month ago and love the results! Dr. Poulsen and the staff were great to deal with and it was a great experience.
Pleasant office and staff. Didn't wait long at all. Dr. Salahuddin was fantastic. Personable, knowledgeable, and seems to care about patients. Went above and beyond.
I recently had cataract surgery that was done by Dr. Poulsen. I have been a patient for a zillion years. He is kind and takes time with each patient. The down side is the amount of time you have to wait in the office before being seen. My suggestion, schedule your appointment for the beginning of the day, or the first one after lunch.
The entire experience was outstanding. Dr. Poulson is great, precise, and takes care of you as a patient. I had to go back for an enhancement to one eye, but the miracle of seeing without glasses far makes up for re-doing the process on one eye. Great staff, great experience.
I have been seeing Dr. Poulsen and Dr. Hiyama for several years and they are both great. I finally took the plunge last month and had LASIK surgery performed by Dr. Poulsen and the results are terrific!!
Great place with highest technology and great customer care! They are sure to make you feel at home.

The 2019 Media Forum, About the Concentration of Media in the Hands of Politicians and the Redistribution of Spheres of Influence in the Field
The limited access to information, the concentration and the dominant positions on the media market, as well as the recent trends towards the redistribution of spheres of influence in the media were among the key topics discussed during the opening of the fifth edition of the Media Forum, which takes place in Chisinau between 4 and 5 November 2019. The event is attended by journalists, media managers, representatives of the civil society and of the academia, Government officials, MPs, diplomats, media experts from Moldova and abroad.
Viorica Zaharia, Chair of the Press Council from Moldova (PC), mentioned that a limited access to information prevents the proper conduct of a journalist's work and decreased the quality of journalism, while the concentration and the dominant positions on the media market create a high volume of manipulative information. In addition, the monopoly on the advertising market suffocates the media, which runs out of their main income sources. According to her, these factors prevents the free media to survive and develop without the help of external donors. 'Of course, an underdeveloped or biased journalism is only one of the hindrances to the democratic development of a state. Also, due to the same factors, our country continued to lose positions in the Press Freedom Index, prepared by Reporters Without Borders', pointed out Viorica Zaharia.
Zaharia mentioned that the Government's proposals as regards the access to information of public interest could improve this situation. However, the other two problems are yet unsolved, i.e. the concentration of the media in the hands of politicians and the monopolisation of the advertising market. According to PC Chair, one can currently notice 'the fall or, at least, the decline of certain media groups', which confirm that they were financed by their owners who were at the governance. In this context, the PC Chair added: 'There are signs that the spheres of influence on the media market are being redistributed. We urge the authorities that claimed so far to support the true democracy, to be vigilant', highlighted Viorica Zaharia.
According to PC Chair, the Broadcasting Council has all the leverage to regulate the media field, but it does not use them, and, as a result, certain TV channels that violate the Ethics Code have felt more relaxed lately, because they were not afraid of the possible sanctions of the BC.
The Forum was also attended by the Prime Minister Maia Sandu who described the situation of the Moldovan media as being dramatic. In her opinion, the free press is struggling to survive as the funding sources for advertising are artificially limited by cartel agreements and monopolies imposed, while the external sources are limited. Maia Sandu said that after former leader of the Democratic Party, Vlad Plahotniuc, decided to withdraw from the public life, 'his media empire falls apart'. 'The TV channels that are part of General Media Group renounce the national frequencies and lose people. Some of them will probably close. (...) Another holding company, affiliated with PSRM, is getting strength. Accent TV has recently received the right to rebroadcast in our country the programs of the most popular Russian TV channel. A political pole has weakened and another one tries to strengthen', added the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister added that certain interventions aimed at improving the current state of affairs in the media are under preparation. 'I have three priorities as regards the media: the first is to support the free media, to create conditions so that it can exist without interference and be able develop in the Republic of Moldova. The second is about strengthening the independence and the creative capacity of the public media outlets. The third refers to strengthening the capacities of the advertising and media regulators to keep the market stable, to protect the information space from internal and external interference and to sanction abusers,' said Maia Sandu.
Among other things, the Prime Minister harshly criticised the Broadcasting Council, claiming that its current membership is outdated and that it needs proactive and professional members, independent of the political factor.
Present at the event, BC Chair Dragos Vicol denied these critics and said that 'the political factor wants to interfere with the Council's work' and that certain Moldovan politicians did not like him.
The Forum was also attended by the Ambassador of Sweden in the Republic of Moldova, Her Excellency Anna Lyberg, who mentioned that the freedom of expression and independence of the media are principles included in the Association Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Moldova. According to her, the Government needs to foster the adoption of media development policies. 'It is very welcome that the new Audiovisual Media Services Code entered into force and we need to ensure its proper enforcement', said Anna Lyerg.
Scott Hocklander, Head of USAID Mission to the Republic of Moldova, had a message of support of the free media and media pluralism. He mentioned the Media-M program, which is being implemented in our country during five years, in order to support the independent media, the product diversification and media sustainability. According to the American official, Moldova, like other countries, is struggling with the phenomenon of misinformation and it needs to develop the critical thinking of its media consumers in order to fight it.
The Forum is organised every year by the Press Council of the Republic of Moldova in partnership with the Association of Independent Press (AIP), the Independent Journalism Centre (IJC) and the Electronic Press Association (APEL).

The Unconquered Country
Journey to Nemiah and the Chilcotin Plateau
I had mythologized it, I had romanticized it, I had wanted to visit for almost ten years.
In a province filled with remote and rugged places, the Nemiah Valley remains distinct. It is a land of wild horses and grizzly bears, of giant wind-worn turquoise lakes framed by jagged peaks and sprawling golden pasture. But what really sets Nemiah apart is its history: in 1864, at the height of the Cariboo Gold Rush, the Tsilhqot'in First Nation successfully resisted European incursion into their territory. The Nemiah Valley and Chilko Lake would remain off the grid for another 100 years, the people free to continue their traditional ranching lifestyle without interference from government or corporations and without much contact with the outside world. It wasn't until the mid 1970s that road access was built, and the Xeni Gwet'in once again fought hard for their land — this time to protect it for everyone by designating it as a provincial park.
Head over to Field & Forest for the full write-up


We present a general formulation for incompressible fluid flow analysis using the finite element method (FEM). The necessary stabilization for dealing with convective effects and the incompressibility condition are introduced via the so called finite calculus (FIC) method. The extension of the standard eulerian form of the equations to an arbitrary lagrangian-eulerian (ALE) frame adequate for treating fluid-structure interaction problems is presented. The fully lagrangian form is also discussed. Details of an effective mesh updating procedure are presented together with a method for dealing with free surface effects of importance for ship hydrodynamic analysis and many other fluid flow problems. Examples of application of the eulerian, the ALE and the fully lagrangian flow descriptions are presented.

Lillya Grace how are you already three??! The moment our sweet Lilly turned three it felt like so much changed overnight. She turned into a little girl, not a toddler… not a baby anymore. As a mom, that shift just pulls on your heart strings. I'm so excited to watch her grow, have little conversations with her, have her help me make dinner and just hang out. But with just a blink of an eye, I ask myself where did my baby go? My heart is excited for her to keep growing and continue to develop her sweet personality and love for life. Because boy does she ever love life, people and a good time.
Just before her third birthday, I had a little date with her on the couch watching the one and only Disney animated Cinderella movie. She instantly fell in love with Cinderella and this beautiful fairytale. If I let her she would have watched it non stop. Cinderella was my favourite princess when I was a little girl, so watching it with her is just the best ever. When I asked her what themed birthday she would like, she instantly screamed "Cinderella!!!". "Well, Cinderella it is!" I answered. We both were so excited!
For the decor, I kept it quite simple. I transformed our coffee table into a little dining table for the girls. Lian Handmade also offered to make a table cloth to match the theme, which was just beautiful. The little blue chairs were the perfect finishing touch. I rented them from a local company Eclat Decor. Oh and the cake – the sweetest cake and cookies tied it all together which were made by my dear friend Izabela of The Cake Mama.
And lastly, as a super last minute surprise, Cinderella herself was our guest of honour. And oh my goodness what a beautiful (inside and out) Cinderella she was. We were all blown away, it's as if she stepped right out of the movie. She sang with girls, played games, read stories and even had a royal coronation for our Lillya. It was truly the most magical day and Lillya was in Cinderella heaven, it was adorable to watch.
I hope you can take some inspiration from this blog post for your girl's birthday party. She will just love it. Oh and what did we get Lillya for her birthday gift you ask? Yes… her very own Cinderella dress to play dress up and keep her little heart dreaming and imagining.

Q: Angular Add date range to search filter I've taken some example code from the AngularJS docs, this allows for basic filtering on multiple field types.  How can I add a date range to this? I've tried adding multiple filters with a condition in {} but this isn't working.
Example code

Any: <input ng-model="search.$">

As a Northern Virginia family photographer serving the area, including Lowes Island, VA, we've been privileged to photograph many couples and many families at our portrait studio and elsewhere in the area. Brian and Ashley are one such wonderful couple! They chose us for the photography of both their engagement session and their wedding.
From their engagement session, Brian and Ashley chose this gorgeous collection of portraits in a frameless Steel finish for the wall of their home.
Following their wedding, Ashley knew she wanted a uniquely beautiful framed portrait of her new husband and herself to grace the walls of their home. She and Brian chose a special wedding portrait to be framed with our Masterpiece line, and with our painted Rembrandt finish.
Our Rembrandt finish for framed canvas portraits is a wonderful mix of photography and painting. After printing on canvas, it is enhanced with oils, painted with the love and talent of a portrait painter, thus giving the portrait wonderful depth and dimension. The result is exquisite, with the realism of a photograph but the beauty, style and feel of a free-hand painting. The painting style is customized to the look and feel of the image.
Ashley and Brian chose a realistic but romantic style for their portrait. You can feel the love they share when you see their gorgeously finished portrait on the wall of their home!
Although it must be seen to be truly appreciated, we thought we would share a few close-up images of the painted brushstrokes for the Rembrandt to give you an idea of how lovely this portrait is.

Jessica contacted us because she was looking for a more custom photographer than a big-box store. Their outdoor portraits turned out great (if we say so ourselves) and reflected everything Jessica wanted!
Jessica and Rod loved their pictures so much, actually, that she ordered a wall collection in Ice, a finish from our line of frameless wall display products.
Ever After's Ice Wall Art offers our clients an exciting and dynamic presentation of their precious photos. Ice is perfect for the discerning client seeking a more contemporary way to display their images.

We love when our clients return to us! We love building those long-lasting relationships with clients. Michelle Laino is one of those clients. We think it's safe to say she likes our photography including our childrens photography. She also appreciates our archival-quality products. We're glad that she chose us because we enjoy working with her and her two beautiful daughters here in the Reston, VA, and Herndon, VA areas.
We have had the opportunity to do two family photography sessions with the three lovely Laino ladies! And each time has been better because the better we get to know our clients, the better the resulting portraits.
Following the Laino Family's most recent session, Michelle opted to order multiple portraits to create a dramatic collection. Her black and white portraits in our Steel Wall Art finish are a work of art. Their collection is now hanging in the entryway of their home. It is the first thing she and visitors see when they first enter her home! There is no better welcome than family portraits and the love they represent in a home.
Our Steel Wall Art is a contemporary finish and product produced using only archival-quality materials. The portraits are printed on a brushed-metal surface for a look that is stylish, sleek, and edgy. A picture collection displayed in the Steel finish is undeniably a show-stopper! It is unique and eye-catching.
Steel Wall Art comes with rounded corners for a clean look and no pointed metal edges. Portraits printed using this finish look crisp. It is also a great finish when you want large portraits – the bigger the picture, the more visually stunning. Michelle chose this finish for her portraits, and she chose well.
We offer a variety of archival-quality products for our clients. We love showing them off! If you'd like to see samples of our products and work, please contact us.

It wasn't that long ago that we profiled our client Detra Davis and her two adorable children. We thought you would enjoy a follow-up to that post. A Northern Virginia mother of two children, Detra understands the value of investing in professional family photography, including childrens photography, and quality, fine art products. Once her session was completed, she opted for a wall collection of portraits and selected one of our favorite products: Our Fine Art Giclee Ice Finish! The results were just stunning.
Our Ice frameless finish is one of the preferred products for clients' portraits, and it's the one we used for our own family portraits. It's a stunning frameless option and a more modern take on portraits. It's an unusual, but visually striking way to display your professional photography. We love how well it captures details and colors! It's only one of an array of excellent products we offer our clients to help them display memories and enjoy them for many years to come.
Detra's family portraits with their colorful, warm images were perfect for an Ice presentation. She chose wisely and beautifully. The portraits appear to be floating, captured on what appears like ice or glass. The effect is almost ethereal. The colors remain vibrant and crisp even though the technique is opaque. Like all the products we offer, it is museum quality and elegantly finished. You can't go wrong with this wall art product. It blends seamlessly into any decor, even traditional. In modern or transitional decor, it shines!

Q: Find the first repeated number in a Javascript array I need to find first two numbers and show index like:
var arrWithNumbers = [2,5,5,2,3,5,1,2,4];

so the first repeated number is 2 so the variable firstIndex should have value 0. I must use for loop.

var numbers = [7, 5, 7, 6, 6, 4, 9, 10, 2, 11];
var firstIndex

for (i = numbers[0]; i <= numbers.length; i++) {
  firstIndex = numbers[0]
  if (numbers[i] == firstIndex) {
    console.log(firstIndex);
    break;
  }
}

A: You can use Array#indexOf method with the fromIndex argument.

var numbers = [7, 5, 7, 6, 6, 4, 9, 10, 2, 11];

// iterate upto the element just before the last
for (var i = 0; i < numbers.length - 1; i++) {
  // check the index of next element
  if (numbers.indexOf(numbers[i], i + 1) > -1) {
    // if element present log data and break the loop
    console.log("index:", i, "value: ", numbers[i]);
    break;
  }
}

UPDATE : Use an object to refer the index of element would make it far  better.

var numbers = [7, 5, 7, 6, 6, 4, 9, 10, 2, 11],
  ref = {};

// iterate over the array
for (var i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
  // check value already defined or not
  if (numbers[i] in ref) {
    // if defined then log data and brek loop
    console.log("index:", ref[numbers[i]], "value: ", numbers[i]);
    break;
  }
  // define the reference of the index
  ref[numbers[i]] = i;
}

A: Many good answers.. One might also do this job quite functionally and efficiently as follows;

var arr = [2,5,5,2,3,5,1,2,4],
   frei = arr.findIndex((e,i,a) => a.slice(i+1).some(n => e === n)); // first repeating element index
console.log(frei)

If might turn out to be efficient since both .findIndex() and .some() functions will terminate as soon as the conditions are met.

A: You could use two for loops an check every value against each value. If a duplicate value is found, the iteration stops.
This proposal uses a labeled statement for breaking the outer loop.

var numbers = [1, 3, 6, 7, 5, 7, 6, 6, 4, 9, 10, 2, 11],
    i, j;

outer: for (i = 0; i < numbers.length - 1; i++) {
    for (j = i + 1; j < numbers.length; j++) {
        if (numbers[i] === numbers[j]) {
            console.log('found', numbers[i], 'at index', i, 'and', j);
            break outer;
        }
    }
}

A: Move through each item and find if same item is found on different index, if so, it's duplicate and just save it to duplicate variable and break cycle

var numbers = [7, 5, 7, 6, 6, 4, 9, 10, 2, 11];
var duplicate = null;
for (var i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
  if (numbers.indexOf(numbers[i]) !== i) {
    duplicate = numbers[i];
    break; // stop cycle
  }
}
console.log(duplicate);

A:

var numbers = [7, 5, 7, 6, 6, 4, 9, 10, 2, 11];
var map = {};

for (var i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
   if (map[numbers[i]] !== undefined) {
       console.log(map[numbers[i]]);
       break;
   } else {
       map[numbers[i]] = i;
   }
}

Okay so let's break this down. What we're doing here is creating a map of numbers to the index at which they first occur. So as we loop through the array of numbers, we check to see if it's in our map of numbers. If it is we've found it and return the value at that key in our map. Otherwise we add the number as a key in our map which points to the index at which it first occurred. The reason we use a map is that it is really fast O(1) so our overall runtime is O(n), which is the fastest you can do this on an unsorted array.

A: As an alternative, you can use indexOf and lastIndexOf and if values are different, there are multiple repetition and you can break the loop;

function getFirstDuplicate(arr) {
  for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    if (arr.indexOf(arr[i]) !== arr.lastIndexOf(arr[i]))
      return arr[i];
  }
}

var arrWithNumbers = [2, 5, 5, 2, 3, 5, 1, 2, 4];
console.log(getFirstDuplicate(arrWithNumbers))

var numbers = [1, 3, 6, 7, 5, 7, 6, 6, 4, 9, 10, 2, 11]
console.log(getFirstDuplicate(numbers))

A: I have the same task and came up with this, pretty basic solution:
var arr = [7,4,2,4,5,1,6,8,9,4];
var firstIndex = 0;

for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
  for( var j = i+1; j < arr.length; j++){
    if(arr[i] == arr[j]){
      firstIndex = arr[i];
      break;
    }

  }
}
console.log(firstIndex);

First for loop takes the first element from array (number 7), then the other for loop checks all other elements against it, and so on.
Important here is to define j in second loop as i+1, if not, any element would find it's equal number at the same index and firstIndex would get the value of the last one after all loops are done.

A: To reduce the time complexity in the aforementioned answers you can go with this solution:
function getFirstRecurringNumber(arrayOfNumbers) {
  const hashMap = new Map();

  for (let number of arrayOfNumbers) { // Time complexity: O(n)
    const numberDuplicatesCount = hashMap.get(number);

    if (numberDuplicatesCount) {
      hashMap.set(number, numberDuplicatesCount + 1);

      continue;
    }

    hashMap.set(number, 1); // Space complexity: O(n)
  }

  for (let entry of hashMap.entries()) { // Time complexity: O(i)
    if (entry[1] > 1) {
      return entry[0];
    }
  }
}

// Time complexity: O(n + i) instead of O(n^2)
// Space complexity: O(n)

A: Using the code below, I am able to get just the first '5' that appears in the array. the  .some() method stops looping through once it finds a match.
let james = [5, 1, 5, 8, 2, 7, 5, 8, 3, 5];
let onlyOneFives = [];
james.some(item =>  {
    //checking for a condition.
    if(james.indexOf(item) === 0) {
        //if the condition is met, then it pushes the item to a new array and then
        //returns true which stop the loop

        onlyOneFives.push(item);
         return james.indexOf(item) === 0;
   }
})

console.log(onlyOneFives)

A: Create a function that takes an array with numbers, inside it do the following:
First, instantiate an empty object.
Secondly, make a for loop that iterates trough every element of the array and for each one, add them to the empty object and check if the length of the object has changed, if not, well that means that you added a element that already existed so you can return it:
//Return first recurring number of given array, if there isn't return undefined.

const firstRecurringNumberOf = array =>{
    objectOfArray = {};

    for (let dynamicIndex = 0; dynamicIndex  < array.length; dynamicIndex ++) {
        const elementsBeforeAdding = (Object.keys(objectOfArray)).length;0
        objectOfArray[array[dynamicIndex]] = array[dynamicIndex]
        const elementsAfterAdding = (Object.keys(objectOfArray)).length;

        if(elementsBeforeAdding == elementsAfterAdding){ //it means that the element already existed in the object, so it didnt was added & length doesnt change.
             return array[dynamicIndex];
        }
    }

    return undefined;
}

console.log(firstRecurringNumberOf([1,2,3,4])); //returns undefined
console.log(firstRecurringNumberOf([1,4,3,4,2,3])); //returns 4

A:

const arr = [1,9,5,2,3,0,0];
const copiedArray = [...arr];
const index = arr.findIndex((element,i) => {
 copiedArray.splice(0,1);
 return copiedArray.includes(element)
})

console.log(index);

A: var addIndex = [7, 5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7,6, 2];
var firstmatch = [];
for (var i = 0; i < addIndex.length; i++) {

    if ($.inArray(addIndex[i], firstmatch) > -1) {
        return false;
    }
    firstmatch.push(addIndex[i]);
}

The new Shan and Toad capsule collection features shocking pink kidswear for the winter 2016 season.
Balanced of course by deeper blue tones for those of a more retiring nature. It is the second capsule collection for the online store designed by owner Shana Laub using the experience learned from operating her store for 5 years.
Many of the pieces from the Shan and Toad capsule were inspired by Shana's 5 daughters or have some component that is reminiscent of them. Most pieces are classic, infused with some modernity, or contemporary style.
Loose, carefree silhouettes juxtaposed with shrunken, constructed suit blazers and cigarette pants in classic navy and shocking pink are throughout the collection with velvet details and a Baroque horse and floral print to break up the solid colour.
The collection is available exclusively at the Shan and Toad e-shop. The photography is by Nadja Pollack.


Scientists are constantly warning of the danger of asteroids that might rush to Earth, where there are no defensive devices yet to detect the evil of those objects that could have catastrophic consequences.
The black image seems to be heading for change. The US space agency NASA has approved the DART project, which aims to change the orbit of an asteroid that is heading toward Earth by October 2022.
According to "Business Insider", the asteroid, known as the "Didi Moon", is a 150-meter long asteroid orbiting around another 800-meter asteroid, about one kilometer away.
DART will Function when it is launched with a solar charge system, where it collides with the asteroid.
The vehicle will be accompanied by another European Space Agency (ESA) named "Hera", which will collect information on the Didi Moon, which will not be on site when a collision occurs.
The DART, NASA's first mission to adopt what is known as the "kinetic lightning" technology, which adopts the concept of striking the asteroid to change course, according to the officer at the headquarters of "NASA" in Washington, Lindley Johnson in a statement.
According to the scenario set by the space agency, the vehicle, which weighs half a ton, will hit the asteroid at speeds of up to 6 kilometers per second, changing the course of the asteroid by about 0.4 millimeters per second.

Sei Smith (b. 1990, New York City) lives and works in New York City. Smith fixates on reflection, light, and the interaction between object, viewer, and context. Through the intense layering of fluorescent paint, iridescent film, and the incorporation of a variety of found or "farmed" objects, Smith's work is designed to expand the definition of painting. He creates minimal and dynamic compositions that playfully challenge one's perception of the phenomenal world.
After studying painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Smith had his first solo exhibition in 2011 and has since shown work at galleries, museums, and art fairs in Miami, Chicago, New York. As the co-founder of Apostrophe NYC's Base 12 Project, Smith orchestrated exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMa PS1, Coney Island's Luna Park, Mana Contemporary, and even the MTA's Kosciuszko Street J train Station. These guerrilla style pop-up exhibitions were lauded by Antwuan Sargent as "merging the aesthetics of a gallery space with the spontaneous nature of street art... [rethinking] the politics of art accessibility," (Vice, 2016). He has been featured in numerous publications, including Artnet, Barron's, Dazed, Hypebeast, and Time Out, which listed Smith as one of the top 10 artists in NYC under the age of 35. Smith has works in several prominent private and public collections; notably, Smith's work was chosen as the first acquisition for Artsy's corporate collection. Along with his own art practice, he continues to curate exhibitions and happenings in New York City.
I Want My Art To...
As years wash over the vision of the past, like the iridescent film that covers my paint, my perspective shifts. The same works of art, once grounded firmly in the mud of some ideology, begin moving and relocating. No art is free from the ideological bias of the present. I don't fear ideological displacement; I love it. I love the cries of tradition dying as it's dragged behind a younger vision. I find no safety or comfort in tradition, in maxims like "if it ain't broke don't fix it," in reverence for the past. Still, I don't want an existence of chaos or constant upheaval. I do value stillness in the present. Stillness, not as a stasis but as an experience. This kind of stillness is what I want from/for my art.
I want a fluidity of ideological entry points. I want my art to pull tradition into the future, grinding that tradition into dust as it tries to hang on and pull us back. I want a still moment of peace as the painting begins to draw you into a dance. The reflective surface changes with the movement of your body, reacting to your inquisition. I want my art to flirt with you, daring you to forget the systems you trust and languish in. I want my art to embrace imperfection, flawed but aspirational.
I want my art to be beautiful but not as a distraction. Not objectified beauty. Beauty, not to behold but to be grown and to be learned. Beauty that's makes Romanticism's idea of the sublime look like an incel meme. I want beauty built of the friction between contradiction in the viewer's beliefs and their experience with my art. I want beauty that you can fall into, losing yourself in the discovery of something new. I want my art to be something new. Not fundamentally new, but new in its relationship to you the viewer.
Nothing exists without a direct connection to political and societal structures. My art will inherently and implicitly relate to these ideas and structures, but it is not a response to politics or contemporary culture. It is a refusal to speak in its language. My art will not address political issues with opposing or supportive ideologies because to do so is to accept their dichotomous value proposition. In rejecting support or opposition to contemporary ideologies and politics in art, I am not advocating for compromise. I want my art to exist as what Deleuze calls 'minor literature.'
I want my art to change like a tree with the seasons, present through the rise and fall of empires, always in conversation, speaking a language for which deciphering is irrelevant. I want my art to…well, just go see for yourself. As the viewer, you will know more about my art than I could ever conceptualize or articulate.
Other Art Statements
-I believe art should make you feel unconformable and safe. It must make the viewer question and give them the space to explore those questions.
-Art must not objectify itself or the viewer. Mutual respect is needed for any true experiential exchange.
-Every piece of art is site-specific and becomes part of an uncontrived installation.
-All statements should be made strongly but held loosely.
-Art must be simple in its complexity not complex to mask its simplicity.
-All objects must be vehicles for experience...to make up for their inanimate lifestyle.
My work exists in the canon of western contemporary art, constantly trying to build new ideas into the conservative structures I've chosen to dwell in. My work often varies, series to series in look and concept but always underneath there is a drive to expand the viewing experience and expose new ways of seeing and understanding the art experience. Every piece is the focal point or map of a larger installation, just as every moment exists in time.


Purchase: I was trail riding with a few friends and one showed up with really comfortable, attractive boot cut riding pants. She told me she bought them at www.smoothstride.com and paid $120 for a full seat.
Likes: They are so comfortable because the material is stretch. They don't have seams on the inside legs, so my knees don't rub raw and they have underwear sewn right in them. I wasn't used to riding in a full seat, but the extra stickiness was great. The color options are great and the suede is washable.
Dislikes: I wish they had more colors.
Quality: The fabric is great and holds up after many washes and I like the fact that I can wash the suede and it still stays soft. The seams are a bit industrial, but they should last forever.
Summary: I am so comfortable since I quit wearing jeans, I can't believe someone hasn't thought of this before. The pants are durable and attractive and I spend even more time in the saddle now!

Houston-based Parker Drilling Company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the company announced Dec. 12.
The oilfield services provider entered into a restructuring support agreement (RSA) with debtors to strengthen its financial foundation and position it to capitalize on further market opportunities. To implement the terms of the RSA, Parker has voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
Parker Drilling's proposed plan will reduce two-thirds of funded debt and inject $95 million of equity capital through a backstopped rights offering, the company said. The plan is subject to court approval.
The company said it intends to pay employee wages and benefits as usual and expects minimal interruption to employees, customers and vendors through the restructuring process.
The restructuring process is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019.

Amazing Facts About Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi is an Argentinian footballer who is generally considered to be one of the best players of his generation. In this article, let's know more about the facts about Lionel Messi.
He is a member of FC Barcelona as well as the Argentina national team. Four times, he has been named FIFA World Player of the Year (a record already). Because of his prolific goal-scoring record and tendency to dribble past opponents, he is often referred to as Diego Maradona's successor.
There is never a dull moment when it comes to deciding who is the greatest player in the world: Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Regardless of your position, there is no doubt that the Argentine is one of the greatest players in the game's history.
As he seeks to add to his already impressive collection of trophies with Barcelona, his individual and collective accomplishments speak for themselves. Messi has had numerous memorable moments during his career, but we'd like to concentrate on his accomplishments in the last two seasons, since he has won many accolades.

Performance In The Match Against Liverpool
After defeating Manchester United in the quarterfinals, Barcelona faced Liverpool in the Champions League semi finals of the 2018/2019 season, the first time the competition was held at the Camp Nou venue. The tie was seen as a close match that might go any way.
The Blaugranas, on the other hand, would draw first blood by winning the first leg 3-0, with Messi scoring two goals, one of which was a spectacular free kick goal. Although Liverpool would go on to win the second leg 4-0 at Anfield and progress to the Champions League final, Messi's first leg performance was one of his finest overall.
The Goal Against Betis
During the 2018/2019 season, Messi scored another stunning goal in a league game against Real Betis in Sevilla. Barcelona would go on to win the game 0-5 with Messi scoring three goals, but the buzz after the game would be all about his amazing third goal.
With Barcelona ahead in the second half, Messi was handed an easy ball at the outside of the box, which he simply booted and lobbed over the keeper. The Betis supporters even gave him a standing ovation. A goal that is sometimes forgotten, but is probably one of Messi's most important individual goals in his career.
Performance In The Match Against Tottenham
Messi had one of his finest European games of his Barcelona career during the 2018/2019 Champions League season. It was a group stage encounter versus Tottenham Hotspur, and the game was held at Wembley Stadium.
Messi was a constant danger throughout the game, and Tottenham's defense battled to stop him. It was expected to be a difficult match for Barcelona, but the Blaugranas scored early and seized complete control. Barcelona would win by a score of 4-2 thanks to Messi's two goals and his involvement in every threatening chance.
Best Player In La Liga
Messi has won a slew of individual accolades throughout the course of his career and will continue to do so as long as he plays professionally. Among such honors is the title of La Liga's Best Player.
As a consequence of Barcelona winning four league championships and Messi finishing as the league's top scorer in successive seasons between 2015 and 2019, Messi earned the league's Best Player award in four of those five seasons. His outstanding individual achievements also contributed to his earning this honor.
Messi has won the La Liga best goal scorer title, commonly known as the Pichichi trophy, on numerous times. However, a significant number of them have arrived in recent seasons with a large number of goals.
Messi would go on to win three straight Pichichi trophies between 2015 and 2019, scoring at least 30 goals in each of those seasons. These goal totals aren't as high as they were early in Messi's career, but they're still a crazy quantity of goals for a season, especially for an exceptional player.
Titles In The Copa Del Rey
Since the 2008/2009 seasons, Barcelona has won the most Copa del Rey championships and has won consecutive cup wins. Barcelona, on the other hand, would reach five consecutive cup finals and win four consecutive Copa del Rey Finals between 2015 and 2019, losing only the 2018/2019 edition to Valencia.
Messi, unsurprisingly, had a key role in the club's victories against Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla on two occasions, and Alavés in those finals. In reality, Messi's most famous goal came in the 2014/2015 Champions League final against Athletic Bilbao.
Outstanding Performance Against Panamá In 2016 Copa América
Messi had probably his greatest tournament with Argentina in the 2016 Copa América Centenario. He scored five goals in total throughout the tournament, participated in many key moments, and helped Argentina reach the Copa America final, where they were defeated by Chile in a penalty shootout.
His greatest individual effort in the competition came against Panamá in the group stage game. Argentina would go on to win 5-0 in that match, with Messi scoring a hat-trick.
All Time Goal Scorer
Messi is not just Barcelona's all-time top goal scorer, but he accomplished it in a record-breaking manner. César Rodrguez established the previous record nearly a century earlier, scoring 233 goals in 290 games.
However, after making his debut, Messi proceeded to score goals at a rate that no other Barcelona player had ever seen before, eventually becoming the club's all-time top goal scorer in 2011/2012.
Finals Of The Copa América
Despite the fact that Messi has yet to win a major tournament with Argentina, he did assist them reach the Copa America Finals in both 2015 and 2016. Argentina not only lost to the same opponent, Chile, in both finals, but they also lost on penalties.
Despite the fact that Messi only scored one goal in the 2015 edition, he would go on to have his greatest individual campaign with Argentina in the 2016 Copa Centenario, scoring five goals in total. He also played a key role in Argentina's successful run to the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final.
Performance Against Ecuador To Qualify For 2018 World Cup
Argentina suffered during the 2018 World Cup qualifying process, and had to replace head managers on many occasions. As the squad approached the last game, there was continuous instability inside the group, as they needed a victory against Ecuador in Quito to qualify for the World Cup in Russia.
Despite the fact that Ecuador had already been eliminated from the World Cup, they were eager to make things tough for Argentina and grabbed an early lead in the first half. Argentina triumphed 3-1 and qualified for the World Cup as Messi promptly equalized and scored a hat-trick.
Goal Against Nigeria At The World Cup
Argentina must beat Nigeria in their last group game to progress to the knockout rounds of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, after drawing with Iceland and losing to Croatia. Despite being favorites, they failed to perform well, and rumors of internal conflicts between the coaches and players emerged.
Argentina, on the other hand, got off to a great start when Messi scored the game's first goal. Argentina would go on to win 2-1 and progress to the knockout round of the tournament.
La Liga Titles With Barcelona
Barcelona has had a lot of success in La Liga, particularly since the 2004/2005 season. However, the Blaugranas would go on to win four league championships between 2015 and 2019. In fact, in certain editions, they would defeat archrival Real Madrid by more than ten points in the league rankings.
During those championship seasons, Messi was the league's top scorer in two of them, won the title for best league striker in the 2014/2015 season, and was voted the greatest player in La Liga three times.
Performance Against The United States
Argentina was participating in the 2016 Copa America Centenario and putting up solid performances, which saw them advance to the competition's quarterfinals, where they would meet the United States. Although Argentina were strong favorites, the United States were hosting the tournament and hoping to get to the final.
The encounter, however, would be a mismatch for the US, as Argentina would triumph 4-0, leaving the Americans with little chance. Messi would have one of his finest performances in an Argentine shirt, scoring a goal and assisting on two others.
Against Real Madrid, Messi Scored The Game-Winning Goal
Throughout his career, Messi has faced Real Madrid on many occasions. He has hat-tricks in several Clásicos and has played a key role in a number of routs. However, Messi's most memorable moment may have occurred during the 2016/2017 season at the Santiago Bernabeu. Barcelona needed to win to have any chance of winning La Liga, with Real Madrid leading the standings.
Both sides led at one time in the game, but with the score locked at 2-2, it seemed like the match would finish in a draw. However, a last-second counter attack resulted in Messi scoring from the outside of the box, giving Barcelona a crucial 3-2 victory.
Even though Barcelona did not win the league, this victory kept things intriguing until the season's final game.
All Time La Liga Goal Scorer
Messi is not just Barcelona's all-time top goal scorer, but he is also the player who has scored the most league goals by a significant margin. Since his debut in La Liga, Messi has scored more than 400 goals.
Telmo Zarra, an Athletic Bilbao icon, helped establish the previous record with 251 career La Liga goals. Cristiano Ronaldo, who played for Real Madrid in La Liga and scored 311 league goals, is the only player who comes close to Messi's La Liga total.
Messi Made History When He Scored His 700th Goal In His Career During The 2019/2020 Season
This is a fantastic accomplishment that has only been achieved by a small number of players. It came from the penalty spot in a La Liga match versus Atlético de Madrid at the Camp Nou. Despite the fact that it was a penalty, he scored with flair by chipping the ball into the net.
What's even more amazing is the goal pace at which he set the record (0.81 goals per game when he hit 700) and the fact that he's still not ready to hang up his skates. It will be amazing to watch how many goals he can score in his career before he retires.
Goals In The Champions League
Despite the fact that Messi continues to play, he and Cristiano Ronaldo are the only players in Champions League history to score more than 100 goals from a distance. In reality, Ral González of Real Madrid, who scored 71 goals in the Champions League throughout his career, is the only player who comes close to them.
This is a remarkable accomplishment, particularly since Messi made his official debut in 2005 and scored his first Champions League goal the following season. He wants to add to his record by bringing another Champions League title to Barcelona.
Performance Against Bayern Munich
Barcelona would face Bayern Munich in the 2014/2015 Champions League semifinals after knocking off Manchester City and PSG in the knockout rounds. It would be a one-of-a-kind match, as Messi would face Pep Guardiola, his former manager and a Barcelona icon.
The first leg at Camp Nou was close and seemed to be heading for a scoreless draw until Messi's long-range strike past Manuel Neuer to put the game out of reach. However, it was his second goal that caught everyone's attention, as he twisted Jerome Boetang and then chipped Neuer to score as Barcelona won 3-0. In the second leg, the Blaugranas sealed the tie and advanced to the Champions League final, where they would face Juventus.
Champions League Title With Barcelona
Barcelona had one of its greatest seasons in club history in 2014/2015, culminating with the club's most treasured asset, the Champions League. The Blaugranas faced Juventus in the Champions League final after winning La Liga and the Copa del Rey. Juventus had also won their domestic championships and were aiming for an unprecedented triple.
Despite Juventus' efforts to make the game intriguing, Barcelona refused to give up and ultimately won 3-1 to complete yet another treble-winning season. Despite the fact that Messi did not score, he had a crucial part in Barcelona's second goal, which put them back in the game shortly after Juventus had equalized.
Lionel Messi was born into a working-class family on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina. His father worked as a steelworker in a warehouse, and his mother worked as a cleaner.
He started playing at a young age, and his talent was immediately evident. Messi, however, was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency when he was 11 years old (GHD). This was a growth-stunting disorder that necessitated costly medical attention, including the use of the medication Human Growth Hormone.
River Plate, Messi's hometown club, was interested in signing him but refused to pay for his medical attention. However, Messi was granted a trial with Barcelona, and coach Carles Rexach was so impressed that he offered Messi a deal (written on a napkin!) that included paying for Messi's medical care in Spain. Messi joined the prestigious FC Barcelona youth academy after moving to Barcelona with his father.
Messi rose through the ranks and made his first start in the 2004/05 season, becoming the league's youngest goalscorer at the time. Messi was a member of the 2006 double-winning squad that claimed both La Liga and the Champions League. Messi was the first choice striker and an important member of the Barcelona squad by the next season (2006-07), when he was just 20 years old. He scored 14 goals in 26 league games.
Messi equaled Ronaldo's record of 47 goals in all competitions for Barcelona in the 2009-10 season. Messi continued to improve and break his own benchmarks as the seasons progressed. He shattered the all-time world record for most goals scored in a calendar year in the year 2012. In 2012, he scored 91 goals, surpassing German Gerd Muller's previous high of 85 and Pele's previous high of 75 goals in 1958.
Messi has 292 goals from 359 games in association football and 31 goals from 76 appearances in international football as of the start of 2013.
Messi turned down a tempting bid to play with an unidentified Russian team at the end of 2012. It would have paid Messi €20 million a year, making him the world's most valuable player (Barcelona would have been paid €250 million). He declined the offer because he didn't know whether he'd be able to compete in big European championships and because relocating to Russia would be impossible. Instead, he signed a deal with Barcelona that will keep him there until the end of the season. Messi expressed his loyalty to Barcelona when asked about his desire to play in the English Premier League.
Messi has Spanish nationality since he was raised in Spain when he was 11 years old.
Messi was given the opportunity to play for Spain's Under 20 team in 2004, but he chose to represent Argentina, his homeland. In 2005, he led Argentina to success in the FIFA Youth World Cup. In August 2005, Messi made his full international debut against Hungary in a friendly match. Messi was sent off in his first game for reportedly elbowing an opponent.
The decision was divisive and inconsistent with Messi's traditionally clean and fair-playing style of play; he has only been accused of diving on a few occasions.
He played in the 2006 World Cup for Argentina, making him the country's youngest player to do so. In the quarter-finals, Argentina was knocked out. At the Beijing Olympics in 2008, he captured an Olympic gold medal in football for Argentina. Barcelona initially refused to let him play, but new coach Pep Guardiola agreed to give him some time off.
Messi wore the number 10 jersey in the 2010 World Cup and contributed to Argentina's progress to the quarter-finals, but he failed to score, and Argentina was defeated 4-0 by Germany in the quarter-finals. Messi has confirmed that he wishes to participate in the World Cup final. Success in the World Cup will be Messi's last test of greatness. Pele, on the other hand, was a member of Brazil's three World Cup-winning teams in 1958, 1962, and 1970.
Messi is highly regarded as one of the most interesting players of his generation – really, of any generation. He dribbles and takes on opponents with unrivaled abilities. Maradona's ball control has been described as "exceptional." "The ball remains stuck to his foot; throughout my career, I've seen a lot of excellent players, but I've never seen someone with Messi's ball control." Messi has said that he would like to keep the thrill of playing football like a teenager.
Messi has been likened to Cristiano Ronaldo, the prolific Real Madrid goalscorer, but both have been quick to dismiss the comparison.
"Messi has his personality and I have mine. He has his game and I have mine. I also play in a big club like him. We are different in every aspect. But right now, he is the best." - Christiano Ronaldo, September 2011
Messi's goal scoring record is extraordinary by any measure. He had scored 419 goals in 445 official matches for Barcelona FC as of June 2019. Messi set an all-time world record by scoring in 21 straight games in the 2012-13 season (33 goals from 21 games)
He owns the Guinness World Record for the most goals scored in a calendar year, with 91 in 2012. He is the first player in Champions League history to score in four successive campaigns. From a total of 133 appearances for Argentina, he has 68 goals.

Messi has been a priority of other football clubs with large transfer budgets on several occasions, but he has stayed faithful to Barcelona FC. He is one of the world's highest-paid footballers. His annual base pay is thought to be around €40 million.
In 2018, he earned a total of €126 million from various sources. According to Forbes, this made him the highest-paid athlete in the world. His weekly pay from Barcelona has increased to $667,000 a week as of 2018.
Messi lives a relatively private and humble life, even by modern football standards. He makes an effort to maintain links to Rosario, his hometown. Antonella Roccuzzo, his Argentinian partner, and they have two children together. In November of 2012, he gave birth to his first child, Thiago.
Messi is a UNICEF ambassador and the founder of his own charitable foundation, which promotes children's access to education and sports. He also assisted Argentinian doctors in arranging for equivalent care as a result of his own costly medical treatment.
With the exception of the World Cup, many analysts believe Lionel Messi achievements have been at his best in every tournament. Argentina was eliminated in the quarter-finals of both the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, with Messi not performing at his best.
Messi had a chance to make an impression on the biggest stage of it all at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Messi scored a fantastic goal in Argentina's first game against Bosnia and Herzegovina to hand them a 1-0 lead. He scored four goals in the World Cup to help Argentina make the final. Argentina was defeated by Germany in the final 1-0. Messi was named 'Golden Ball' player of the match, despite widespread criticism of the decision.
After missing a penalty kick as Argentina was knocked out of the Copa America final in June 2016, a frustrated Messi declared his retirement from international football. Messi later changed his position, saying that he liked playing for Argentina so much and that "I see there are many issues in Argentinian football, and I have no intention of creating another one."
Messi, on the other hand, returned to international football in 2018 and captained Argentina at the World Cup. While bearing the weight of a nation's expectations, the World Cup was a huge disappointment. Messi, on the other hand, returned to his usual scintillating form with Barcelona in the 2018-19 season.
He was signed by Barcelona when he was just 13 years old. This goes on to become the biggest football transaction ever made in the history of the game. An assertion that is more of a reality than an opinion.
His initial contract with FC Barcelona was written on a napkin since there was no paper and the then-Sporting Director, Carlos Rexach, wanted to sign it right away because of Messi's incredible potential and didn't want to waste any time.
Messi was given a spot in the Spanish national team, but he declined and instead to wait for Argentina's call-up.
Messi's Argentina debut was a disaster. The kid was introduced as a replacement, but his pleasure was short-lived as he was dismissed after just 46 seconds on the field. He is now Argentina's captain.
He's known as 'La Pulga Atomica,' which translates to 'The Atomic Flea,' because of his quick, lethal, and deceptive style of play, which combines with his tiny stature to break defenders' ankles.
Messi was born in Rosario as a little baby, weighing less than 3 kilograms and standing at about 47 cm tall. He is now taller than any football player.
Although everyone enjoys seeing Leo, the Barcelona star has said that he never watches highlights of himself.
Lionel Messi won the 2009 Ballon d'Or, defeating Cristiano Ronaldo with 473 votes to Ronaldo's 233 votes. The biggest margin in history!
In the 2009 FIFA World Player of the Year award, Messi received 2,021 points, 1,701 more than his nearest competitor Cristiano Ronaldo, who received 320. This is a historical record.
Ginza Takana, a Japanese jeweler, created a 25kg solid gold copy of Messi's distinctive left foot (55 lb). It was estimated at $5.25 million and put for sale in Japan in March 2013 to collect money for victims of the 2011 Thoku earthquake and tsunami.
In SportsPro Magazine's ranking of the "world's most marketable sportsmen of 2013," Messi was placed second, after teammate Neymar Jr.
Messi is a Roman Catholic devoted follower. In 2013, he visited with Pope Francis at the Vatican, which was one of Messi's most memorable days.
Messi is not only a brilliant player on the field, but also off it. He is the creator of the 'Leo Messi Foundation,' which aims to provide the greatest educational and health care possibilities for youngsters. His organization also assists youngsters with severe medical issues in paying for medical care, transportation, and recovery.
In 2010, Messi was named UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador.
Lionel Messi, like virtually every other person, enjoys music. Samba and Cumbi are the two major musical genres he loves listening to.
Lionel Andres Luis Messi is widely considered to be the best player in history. A pleasure to watch, an inspiration, and a decent human being off the field.

Saudi domestic violence center gets 1,890 reports in three days
The new domestic violence reporting center in Saudi Arabia has received 1,890 domestic violence reports during the first three days of its opening, the Ministry of Social Affairs has said.
Deputy Minister of Social Affairs for Social and Family Care Abdullah Al-Muaiqil said the center opened on Sunday of last week and it was already bombarded with calls. "Forty-nine percent of the calls were reporting new cases, 12 percent were inquiring about previous reports and 20 percent were seeking consultancy. Nineteen percent of the calls were to inquire about the services the center offers," said Al-Muaiqil.
He also said 916 of the cases during that period were newly reported. "Two hundred thirty-three of the calls were inquiries about previously reported cases and their updates. Calls seeking consultancy were 374 while 367 of the calls were inquiring about the services the center offers. These numbers show that domestic violence and abuse is indeed a widespread phenomenon in our society," said Al-Muaiqil.
He added the center is open to receive calls 24 hours of the day and in all days of the week.
"The center targets women of all ages and children below the age of 18. The center also targets the elderly and individuals with disabilities. There are 22 social protection teams available in all provinces in the Kingdom. Their role is to protect victims of abuse and violence," said Al-Muaiqil.
He also said the Ministry of Social Affairs cooperates with a number of other ministries including interior, education, health, justice, the Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution, the Human Rights Commission and the National Human Rights Society.

It builds bone density. Postures like Downward Dog (as well as more difficult arm balances) that place weight on the arms and shoulders are great for building upper body strength and preserving bone density, says Herbert–especially important for women as we age and become more at risk for osteoporosis.
It wakes you up. Herbert cites B.S.K. Iyngar, the 94-year-old founder of Iyngar yoga, who says that Downward Dog is one of the best poses you can do when you're fatigued. "He recommends at least a minute in the pose," she says, "to bring back lost energy for runners after a hard race." It works equally well, she adds, for those of us who are just tired from a long day at the office, too.
1. Begin in Tabletop Pose (Hands and knees). Take a slow, deep, and controlled inhale.
2. While you exhale, lift the hips up and back toward the ceiling while pressing into the mat through your palms. Move your weight into your legs without locking your knees. Pull your navel in toward your spine.
3. Drop the crown on the head toward the floor and melt your chest toward your knees.
4. Stay here and come back to your 6 count breaths.
5. Optional: walk your dog - pedal your feet - one heel up and one heel down - for a few breaths.
Welcome to the #Journey2Handstand Challenge for January 2016! We are going to practice different poses/exercises each day this month to gain strength and stability in order to work towards a strong handstand. This doesn't mean we will all have amazing handstands that we hold for minutes by the end of the month, although someone might. It will mean that your arms, shoulders, back, legs, and core will be stronger by the end of the month and you will have learned the foundation of how to work into a handstand. My name is Haley and I will be with you this month, walking beside you, showing you the path and encouraging your walk.
Wait Haley, you said we were working on Handstands! No, I said we were working TOWARD handstands! Let's start with gaining strength. If you've never tried one, a plank may look easy, almost too easy to be beneficial, but this is deceiving. While getting into the proper form is straightforward, holding the position takes strength and endurance in your abs, back, and core.
The plank is one of the best exercises for core conditioning and it also works your glutes and hamstrings, supports proper posture, and improves balance. Sounds perfect for handstands, doesn't it?
1. On a yoga mat, or a cushioned surface, come to your hands and knees (known as Tabletop Pose).
2. Be sure that your wrists are directly under your shoulders and your knees are directly under your hips.
3. Tuck your toes under so that the pads of your toes are on the floor. Pressing the heels back, roll the weight into the balls of the feet, lift your knees off the foor and come into a high push-up position.
4. Flatten your back and drop your hips low - to do this, melt your heart toward your thumbs so that there is not rounding of your back. Then draw your navel in and up away from the floor.
5. Stay here for 3-5 breaths. Count to 6 as you inhale and again as your exhale - slow and controlled breaths. Imagine sending oxygen to the areas that are weak, shaky, sore, or tight.
6. Come out of the pose by coming back to Tabletop Pose (hands and knees).
If at anytime you feel pain - come out of the pose. Discomfort is okay - growth is happening!
