It's nearly the end of another month, of a year that seems to flying by. This is a little post about things I've really enjoyed this autumn time. Yes, I have included avocado, but could I really do a post without sounding like a complete white girl? It just didn't seem right.
If any of these tickle your fancy, give this post a read!
I had wanted one for ages, but it took me a while to find the right one and wanted one that didn't make me look like a massive puff ball. As soon as I saw this coat in H&M and it was definitely what I had been looking for. I tried it on and it the perfect fit, and the last one in my size. That to me was just fate!!! So me and me bought it, when I probably shouldn't have but for £35 it was a bargain. I have worn it pretty much every day since I purchased it. It's perfect as you can't feel even a slight breeze in it which is a big thing for me now the colder days are soon coming.
Another piece of clothing that I have been making the most of is my mustard coloured cropped jumper from Missy Empire. Which has some good quality clothes for a good price. You don't feel like you are spending a bomb, which is a bonus.
I am a sucker for a nice knitted jumper, as I think they can be casual but, can also be dressed up when needed. I like to think that mustard is a colour that suits me, also I have seen a lot of people wearing mustard this Autumn, as personally I think it complements the season quite well. The jumper also has baggy arms which makes it extra spacious for them lounging around days. Missy Empire isn't an online store that I shop with often, however I was just having a browse and thought these were a good online steal at just £16. However, an online order would not be complete without getting the jumper in the other colour. So I may or may have not bought the Magenta one too. I've put a link below in case you wanted to have a little browse, although I will warn you a browse can soon turn into being £100 lighter.
I have always loved too faced as a brand and I was lucky enough to be bought the natural love palette by my cousin Charlotte. It has matte, glitter and natural colours. It has great colours for if you need a quick and easy neutral eye, as all the colours complement each other nicely. The packaging is beautiful and I think it needs to be considering the price of it at £60. I have used this a lot over Autumn, and still all the colours look like they are untouched. Which is a sign of a good eye shadow palette.
This palette is amazing and is definitely worth £24. I love all the colours in this palette and can create looks that are appropriate for day time and night time. I use the dark pink one the most as I think it look nice as a daytime look. The palette is very pigmented and you don't need a lot on the brush to get a good definition on your eye and a colour that stays. Although I use the NYX waterproof eyeshadow primer so it stays for a longer period.
Everyone girl needs an Autumn lipstick! The Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks are so pretty especially the packaging. Bond Girl is a matte lipstick it's a dark burgundy red, it is easy to wear and lasts a good amount of time. It is a good lipstick for the day or the evening and compliments a range of outfits. It is £24 which is quite expensive for a lipstick but it is a high end product that is worth the buy if you fancy treating yourself!
I have recently started my membership at the Pure Gym that has just opening where I live to get back into my fitness. I used to be really good at motivating myself, but got slightly lapse over the summer period and was focusing on enjoying myself, However, I know I needed to get back into it to make sure I didn't turn into an absolute blob over Christmas. The new gym is really good and very spacious, also being in a new environment it motivates me to go there as I enjoy it a lot. My target is to go 4 times a week and so far it's going rather well. Fingers crossed!
Time for everyone's favourite section! I have to start with Starbucks who brought out their Autumn flavoured coffees, just to make our lives that little bit more spicy. The two that they released were Pumpkin Spice Latte and a Salted Caramel Pecan Latte, ready to give us those Halloween vibes. Out of the two the Pumpkin Spice Latte is my favourite (hot and cold), although it seems odd to have Pumpkin in a coffee it works so well. So props to whoever came up behind Starbucks genius.
Needing something quick and easy to make this is the perfect little get together. This has definitely been a go too of mine recently! I am a strong lover of Avocado, and bacon is hard to resist in anyone's books. I think this is all a perfect combination, it works as a nice Breakfast or Brunch but in my case mostly Brunch.
I hope you like a few of these favourites, let me know which ones you think you would like and if you would have any things that you have particularly loved this month.

Die Landsgemeinde ist ein Fresko von Albert Welti und Wilhelm Balmer. Es ziert den Saal des Ständerates im Bundeshaus in Bern. Das Werk wurde 1907 in Auftrag gegeben und 1914, zwei Jahre nach Weltis Tod, durch Balmer fertiggestellt.

Beschreibung
Das Bild wird durch die aufgemalten Säulen in fünf Felder geteilt und stellt übereck eine Landsgemeinde dar. Als Vorbild diente Welti der Landsgemeindeplatz des Kantons Nidwalden in Wil an der Aa bei Stans, der sich als von Bäumen umgebener Mauerring präsentiert und sich über alle fünf Felder erstreckt. Da der landschaftliche Rahmen Welti nicht zusagte, wählte er für die Umgebung jene Aussicht, die vom Landsgemeindeplatz des Kantons Obwalden in Sarnen aus zu sehen ist. Im ersten Feld von links sind links der Bürgenstock, rechts das Stanserhorn und darunter die Sarner Aa zu sehen, im zweiten Feld der Ächerlipass und eine Brücke (vermutlich die Hohe Brücke zwischen Kerns und Flüeli-Ranft), im dritten Feld das Nünalphorn und der Huetstock, darunter die Kapelle von Flüeli-Ranft, im vierten Feld die Bergkette mit dem Lachenhörnli sowie im fünften Feld der Sarnersee mit Sachseln, dem Kleinen Melchtal und im Hintergrund Wildgersthorn und Schwarzhorn.

Auf dem Gemälde sind mehr als 150 Personen abgebildet. Sie tragen Kleidung, wie sie im 18. Jahrhundert üblich war. Die meisten hören einem gestikulierenden Redner zu, der im vierten Feld auf der Mauer steht. Im selben Feld erkennt man auf erhöhten, überdachten Sitzen drei Weibel, die als Stimmenzähler tätig sind. Im dritten Bild stützt sich der Landammann auf sein Richtschwert; er ist umgeben von weiteren Regierungsmitgliedern sowie von Vertretern der Kirche. Der Szene abgewandt steht im dritten Bild ein Hornbläser in rot-weisser Amtstracht.

Bewegte Szenen spielen sich fast gänzlich ausserhalb des Mauerrings ab. Im ersten Bild reichen sich Frauen zur Begrüssung die Hand, während ein Junge mit einem Hund spielt und ein Mann auf die Mauer steigt. Im zweiten Bild stösst ein älterer weisshaariger Mann verspätet zur Versammlung und Kinder sprechen einen Soldaten an. Im dritten Bild balgen sich drei Knaben, im vierten Bild stillt eine Frau ihr Kind, ein Mädchen daneben pflückt Blumen. Schliesslich schenkt im fünften Bild eine Frau dem Trommler Wein ein, während zwei weitere Frauen am Seeufer einem Schiff zuwinken.

In Erinnerung an seinen verstorbenen Freund gab Balmer dem Mann, der sich mit ganz rechts mit dem Bannerträger unterhält, Weltis Gesichtszüge. Auf seiner blauen Weste ist eine Inschrift eingeritzt: Amicus amico («dem Freund in Freundschaft»).

Entstehungsgeschichte
Das Parlamentsgebäude mit den Sälen von Nationalrat und Ständerat wurde am 1. April 1902 eingeweiht. Getäfelte Pilaster und Arkaden unterteilten die Südwand des Ständeratssaales in fünf Felder, ansonsten war die Wand völlig weiss. Der Zürcher Ständerat Paul Usteri machte an der Sitzung vom 25. Juni 1906 den Vorschlag, ein Gemälde auf der Wand anzubringen. Bundesrat Marc Ruchet bildete zusammen mit vier Ständeräten eine Kommission. Sie empfahl ein Landschafts- oder Historienbild, wobei die Wahl des Motivs dem ausführenden Künstler überlassen werden sollte.

Im Sommer 1907 fragte die Kommission Albert Welti an, ob er Interesse an diesem Auftrag habe. Welti zögerte zunächst und war der Meinung, dass Ferdinand Hodler womöglich besser geeignet wäre. Schliesslich erklärte er sich doch noch dazu bereit, stellte aber die Bedingung, dass sein Freund Wilhelm Balmer ebenfalls mitwirken dürfe. Als Motiv schlug er eine Landsgemeinde vor, «weil eine solche den Ursprung unserer Republik besonders gut kennzeichnet und durch ihre Hindeutung auf die alte Eidgenossenschaft und die alten Orte gewisse Beziehungen zum Wesen der Ständeratsversammlung hervorhebt».

Im Dezember 1907 erhielten Welti und Balmer den Auftrag zur Ausführung des Gemäldes. 1908/09 erstellte Welti zunächst im Alleingang ein Modell im Verhältnis 1:10; dieses ist heute im Kunsthaus Zürich ausgestellt. Anschliessend begannen Welti und Balmer gemeinsam, Kartons in halber Grösse anzufertigen. Zu diesem Zweck reisten sie nach Nidwalden und fertigten Porträts von rund 150 Personen an. Welti erkrankte Ende 1911 schwer, weshalb Balmer allein die Ausführung der Kartons in Originalgrösse in Angriff nahm. Nach Weltis Tod am 7. Juni 1912 übertrug Balmer die Kartons in Freskotechnik auf die Wand. Die Arbeit schloss er im März 1914 ab.

The seven elements are line, color, value, shape, form, space, and texture..
Good design is innovative. Good design makes a product useful. Good design is aesthetic. Good design makes a product understandable.
Design elements are the basic units of any visual design which form its structure and convey visual messages.
The Elements of Design are the things that artists and designers work with to create a design, or composition. The Elements are: line, shape, space, value, color and texture.
seven elementsThe elements of design can be thought of as the things that make up a painting, drawing, design etc. Good or bad – all paintings will contain most of if not all, the seven elements of design. The Principles of design can be thought of as what we do to the elements of design.
Principles of Design. The principles of design describe the ways that artists use the elements of art in a work of art. Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel stable.
Elements of design (EoD) are those features that are used to enhance the user experience, such as marks or points, lines, shapes, colors and textures, to name a few. These components are used collectively during the creation process and guided by the principles of design.
The Seven Principles of DesignSIMPLICITY. Elements that do not provide improvement or impact on the design can be omitted. … VARIETY. Shape, size and form selections should be diverse in order to create visual interest. … BALANCE. Everything that is placed in a design will carry a certain visual weight with it. … EMPHASIS. … SEQUENCE. … SCALE / PROPORTION. … UNITY.
In Graphic Design there are six basic elements that are used in order to have a good design. The six elements are space, line, shape, value, texture, and color.
The basic design phase, sometimes referred to as system or high-level design, bridges the gap between the conceptual design and detailed design phases. The basic design phase includes: definition of overall system configuration. project configuration through layout of schematics and diagrams.
A line connects two points and is the simplest element of design. Put it this way, you can't strip down any lower than a one-dimensional object in the world of design.
The elements, or principles, of visual design include Contrast, Balance, Emphasis, Movement, White Space, Proportion, Hierarchy, Repetition, Rhythm, Pattern, Unity, and Variety. These principles of design work together to create something that is aesthetically pleasing and optimizes the user experience.
All visual designs are composed of eight elements (Point, Line, Shape, Form, Tone, Texture, Color, and/or Text). These elements are combined and arranged to create a desired visual appearance.
Elements of design on the other hand are things that are involved within making a design. The major difference between principles and elements is that principles are rules you have to follow and elements are things that will help you complete those rules for the best project outcome.

Glycobiotechnology 2018 took place on Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th September 2018 in Manchester and was attended by approx. 180 IBCarb members from academia and industry. This was the final IBCarb event. To find out more about the event read the full report here.


That was me, at the end of 2006. I was just about to turn 30. I was the heaviest of my life – 354 lbs.. Wow, how does that happen? Why don't your friends and family tell you that you are ""scary overweight?" I think the one thing that really frightened me was the sound of my own breath. I sounded like an animal sometimes. My resting heart rate was always over 90, my blood pressure was high and I was pre-diabetic. I literally felt like I was going to die if I didn't do something and do it right then and there.
Having previously enjoyed a low-carb diet, I decided to try it again, but this time with the understanding that I would be changing my lifestyle permanently from that point on – in other words, NOT just another diet. After all, I never followed a strict plan or regimen before this point. I never counted a carb, a calorie, or anything. The only thing I did religiously was weigh-in several times a week (against popular suggestions) and take advantage of Atkins bars and occasionally a shake for a quick meal on the go. This time, I used the bars and shakes, but everything else I changed for the better.
How Atkins Helped Get Me There: I worked hard all of 2007 and lost weight, but I saw no real change in my clothing size so I didn't really feel like I was doing well. Yet, by the end of 2007, I had lost 50 pounds and felt better about myself. Shortly thereafter, we went to Orlando for vacation - I was still well over 300 but had no problem walking around the park and riding all the rides.
At the end of 2007, some coworkers and I started talking about beginning a ""Biggest Loser"" type contest at the beginning of the following year; that must have been what I needed to keep going…financial motivation. I started the New Year at 304 and had some good encouragement from my family and coworkers. It was really easy to stay on track because I felt everyone was watching me and there was no way I could let them down. I won the competition and the money. I proved to myself that I COULD change my lifestyle and make better food choices. I added walking and picked up tennis (my favorite sport) and I really think this made a big difference. By the summer, I was doing things I hadn't done in years, like wrestling with the kids without sweating all over them or getting out-of-breath. My resting heart rate was much lower and my blood pressure seemed to be well out of the danger zone.
I was also able to meet one of my own selfish goals in 2008 – picking out some "normal" sized pants and a shirt. I bought a size 40 pant and a 2XL shirt. This was an amazing feeling!
People were really noticing my weight loss and total transformation. My goal was to lose 75 pounds in two years, but I ended the year losing 94 pounds – only ten pounds shy of ""one-derland"" (weighing 199 or less).
In 2008 I learned so much about food, cooking and myself. I found so many veggies that I truly enjoyed, ones I would have never eaten in the past. My before picture shows how bad it was; it also shows how much my then two-year old (now 10) daughter has grown. I can only hope my kids never find themselves in the same situation I did.
My family loves the new me, my three older kids get a kick out of piling into an old pair of my shorts – at the same time. This really made me cognizant of how far I'd come and how much better I really feel. 144 pounds lost over two years is basically like losing a grown adult from your body. How in the world was I carrying all that weight around for those years? I guess, who cares now, because I will never be that man again, NEVER. I am going to keep working toward my goal of losing another 25-30 pounds in 2009 as well as packing on some additional muscle. I will focus on bringing Atkins recipes to my family so they too can benefit from my food choices. I will NOT fall off the wagon and revert to my old bad habits. My body obviously can't tolerate bad carbs very well so I have to treat it like an allergy.
So far in 2009, I have lost a few more pounds and am currently weighing in at about 194. I am now wearing about a 34-36 inch pant and between an L and a XL shirt. There is no way I could have made it through this process without the help and encouragement from my friends, family and new online friends in the Atkins Community. Those who have helped me know who they are and to each one of them I sincerely say, THANKS! And no one has been more supportive of me than my wife... thank you, baby.
I DO NOT feel like I am going to die. Not anytime soon at least! Mission accomplished.

Home Lists THE ESSENTIALS: The Best of Missy Elliot
Talented Mr. Ford 26 May 2020 0 comment
#RunTheCulture
Missy "Misdamenaor" Elliot is a legendary creator for The Culture, no debate about it. Very few artists can legitimately say they changed the game and Missy is one of those artists. She changed the way female MC's were seen and heard, she changed the soundscape of hip-hop, and she changed music videos. She's a Grammy winner and became the first female MC to be inducted into the Songwriter's Hall Of Fame. So in her honor we've put together the 5 essential creations of Missy's career (so far).
5. "One In A Million" by Aaliyah
This was Missy's first huge writing hit and one of Aaliyah's biggest career singles. Leave it to Missy to do the seemingly unthinkable and pen an uptempo love ballad. That skill helped open the door for all of her amazing talents putting the industry on notice that if they needed a hit, she's a writer to holla at.
4. "Work It"
Missy's most successful personal single. "Work It", with its infectious and playful lyrics and its throwback vibe took over the fall of 2002 and Spring of 2003 peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard charts.
3. "1, 2 Step" By Ciara
The most successful song written by Missy. Teaming up with Ciara was a natural fit and their collab on "1, 2 Step" resulted in a monster single that controlled the clubs and dance floors everywhere from it's release in January of 2005 till the end of the year and won them both a Grammy.
2. Lady Marmalade
Missy brought together some of the biggest names of the time in hip-hop, R&B, and pop (Lil Kim, Christina Aguilera, Mya, and Pink) for a crossover record of epic proportions. Putting a modern twist on The Labelle's original version of the song, Missy and company had the most memorable song from a film that was also a musical (Moulin Rouge). That ain't easy to do. Respect.
1. Supa Dupa Fly
The beginning of it all. The reason why the rest of the list even exist. "Supa Fly" remains one of the most original, most visionary hip-hop albums of all-time. Hits included "Sock It To Me", "Beep Me 911" and of course "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)". From the completely new sound Missy and Timbaland created to the literal out of this world visuals, Missy opened a pandora's box of creativity that altered the course of hip-hop and The Culture forever making her debut album in it's entirety THE ESSENTIAL Missy Elliot project.

Independent Palestine State Is Solution for Peace, Jordan Says
Mohammad Tayseer
(Bloomberg) -- The establishment of an independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, is the solution that fulfills the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and is the only path to a comprehensive and lasting peace, Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said in an emailed statement."The national interests of Jordan and its established and unwavering positions and principles towards the Palestinian issue governs the way in which the government deals with all proposals and initiatives aimed at resolving the conflict," Safadi said after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new Mideast peace plan."Jordan supports every genuine effort aimed at achieving just and comprehensive peace that people will accept," Safadi said.The minister stressed the urgency of launching serious and direct negotiations that solve all final status issues within a comprehensive solution in accordance with established terms of reference, the Arab peace initiative and international law.Jordan will continue to work with Arab countries and the international community for realizing peace that will be lasting, just and that people will accept, Safadi said.The Palestinian issue is the foremost Arab issue and Jordan will coordinate with Palestine and other Arab countries in addressing future developments within Arab consensus, he said.Safadi warned against the dangerous consequences of unilateral Israeli measures, such as annexation of Palestinian lands, the building and expansion of illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian occupied lands and encroachments on the Holy Sites in Jerusalem, that aim at imposing new realities on the ground.Jordan will continue to dedicate all its resources to protect Jerusalem and its Holy Sites, preserve the historical and legal status quo and protect their Muslim, Christian identity, Safadi said. Jordan seeks a true, just peace on the basis of the two-state solution that ends the occupation that began in 1967, preserves the rights of the Palestinian people, guarantees the security of all sides, and protects the interests of Jordan, including these related to final status issues, he said.

U.S. now says no evidence of 'kill capture teams' at U.S. Capitol
The top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C. said on Friday there is no "direct evidence" to suggest that rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol had formed "kill capture teams." The comments by Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin appeared to be an effort to walk back claims federal prosecutors in Arizona had made in a court filing late on Thursday, in which they alleged there was evidence that rioters intended "to capture and assassinate elected officials." Sherwin said that his office is leading the prosecution effort, but as local offices help to run down suspects in their districts, there may have been a "disconnect" on the evidence obtained so far in the cases.
Vice President Mike Pence has called his soon-to-be successor Kamala Harris to offer his congratulations, according to two people familiar with the conversation. President Donald Trump has not reached out to President-elect Joe Biden and has repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of Biden's win. One of the people familiar with the Thursday afternoon conversation described it as a "good call," with Pence congratulating his successor and offering assistance.

Building a New Workforce Platform
About WORKNOW
This investment in a collaborative partnership with state and local government employers and community-based service providers expanded the Community College of Denver's Center for Workforce Initiatives and established it as WORKNOW, metro Denver's first collective impact workforce platform. Through WORKNOW, low-income families can access construction industry training, resources and job supports that empower them to participate in local economic development projects.
We are on the right track—and we can do even better. The construction industry provides critical career pathways to the middle class, and many positions provide family-sustaining wages and health benefits." — Tracey Stewart, Family Economic Security Investment Director, Gary Community Investments
Purpose of Funding
Denver's rapid growth has impacted many communities through rising housing costs and displacement. WORKNOW supports Colorado's intention to use infrastructure projects, like the Colorado Department of Transportation's Central 70 expansion, to provide parents with pathways to middle-class wages through local hire requirements. Our investment ensures that WORKNOW takes a two-generation approach to mitigating employment barriers for its participants, including creating a funding stream for a network of child care centers along the Central 70 corridor. By offering supportive services like child care, we can help ensure the success of the parents who want to do more for themselves and their families.

Impact & Results
Sharing in Denver's Economic Expansion
Being born into poverty can severely restrict a child's opportunities in life. But boosting families' income and helping them build assets improves children's short- and long-term education, health and economic outcomes. Programs like WORKNOW, which promote job training and entrepreneurship, lead to economic advancement for families, providing them with the resources to stay in their homes, support their children and share in the benefits of Denver's economic expansion. Over the past year, WORKNOW has made the following impact on families and the local workforce ecosystem.
Families experienced a 20 percent gain toward economic self-sufficiency
Average hourly wage for WORKNOW participants, which is an increase from $10.43/hour
Boost in new revenue for the local economy
Building Denver's workforce
In its first year, nearly 600 WORKNOW participants accessed training, job, coaching, community resource navigation and training.
Empowering women & families
69 percent of WORKNOW participants have families, and 22 percent are women.
Ensuring workers' success
68 percent of WORKNOW participants access resources like boots, tools, child care assistance and on-the-job training.
Focusing on the community
From job fairs to information sessions, WORKNOW has hosted 49 events across metro Denver to connect residents to its program.
Story of Change
A step toward college
Eighteen-year-old Ivan Quiroz, who lives in the Swansea neighborhood with his two brothers, learned about the WORKNOW program through a community hiring fair hosted in November 2018. After a few weeks of training, he received a hard hat from Sturgeon Electric Company, along with full-time employment building traffic signal housing at Sturgeon's Central 70 headquarters, which is located within walking distance from his house. Because of WORKNOW, Ivan has a better-paying job, and he plans to put the money he earns toward achieving his next career goal: attending college. Learn how WORKNOW has impacted workers like Ivan, local families and the workforce ecosystem:
Download the First-Year Impact Brief
"Together, each partner organization is expanding support for the communities we serve, and for the workforce needs of Colorado's thriving construction industry. It's exciting to work with partners willing to explore what we can do differently to deepen access to high-wage jobs, foster family self-sufficiency, and create long-term career paths."
– Katrina Wert, Director, Center for Workforce Initiatives at the Community College of Denver
"CDOT has long recognized the connection between large construction projects and economic opportunity. Our partnership with WORKNOW has made it possible for CDOT to help improve lives by connecting individuals and communities to high-wage construction jobs and training programs. The opportunities to continue making these connections across Colorado are enormous, and we are fortunate to have WORKNOW as a partner."
– Josh Laipply, Chief Engineer, Colorado Department of Transportation
"We want to support the positive impact of what major projects, like Central 70, can bring not only to the infrastructure users, but to the community we serve together with the city and the state of Colorado. After 30 years in the public and private partnership arena, worldwide, I've seen with my own eyes many positive changes happening when both sectors get together around a major purpose like this."
– Paulo Andre, CEO, Kiewit Meridian Partners
"Denver's growth has created an unprecedented amount of construction jobs. As our economy grows, it is important to ensure residents benefit from this prosperity, however, finding and recruiting talent has proven to be challenging. During its first year, WORKNOW has made a difference for many individuals, while helping construction firms with the challenges of talent recruitment."
– Deborah Cameron, Chief Business Development Officer, City & County of Denver Office of Economic Development
"WORKNOW has opened doors for me. I was a stay-at-home mother for six years and needed to find a career. I was worried about being out of the workforce for so long. But WORKNOW and its partners helped to ensure my success by providing help with transportation, childcare and equipment. I am excited to say I am now a working full-time HVAC apprentice."
– Chloe Lomax, WORKNOW Member
"WORKNOW is a perfect blend of providing practical services, while also addressing systematic change in the nonprofit and business sectors. It's such an effective workforce readiness program that Focus Points chose to grow the program, applying the concept both with internal hires and other sector business partners."
– Jules Kelty, Executive Director, Focus Points Family Resource Center
"WORKNOW brings together the best workforce leaders and organizations that are lifting up Denver neighborhoods while collaborating with business. The need to place hundreds of people in good jobs is pushing community leaders, business and policy makers to address issues of equity in the workplace; and WorkLife is proud to be part of this initiative, which is addressing the cradle-to-career continuum."

Irvine is located in Orange County and is what's known as a planned city. It was the brainchild of the Irvine Company in the 1960s and became a bonafide city in the mid-70s. There are roughly 200,000 people living here and has annexed some of the smaller rural cities surrounding it. It was chosen in 2008 by CNN Money as the fourth best place to live in the entire country.
There are a number of higher educational institutions located here, including the University of California at Irvine, Concordia University, and Irvine Valley College, to name a few. The climate here is pleasant just about year-round and the beach settings are as sublime as they are in the rest of the state.
There are also a number of cultural events here that make it an appealing draw for tourists. For instance, the Irvine Global Village Festival has held annually in the fall and features local and international merchants selling their wares, as well as entertainment from a diverse array of cultures as well. There are also a number of bike lanes in the city to encourage people to use bikes over cars. A number of notable people have lived here – or still do – including Olympic swimming champion Amanda Beard, Warrant guitarist Joey Allen and model Jeanne Carmen, to name a few.
Reduce the level of fluids in your vehicle: Not only does this guarantee a safe transport, but also it lessens the weight of your vehicle, which in turn can lessen the price of transport. Keep everything to about a quarter full, including gas, so that your car is still fully operational upon arrival to your destination.
Ask for proof of insurance: After all, your vehicle is one of your largest assets, so you don't want to assume the company in question has shipping, only to find out that it does not. Ask to actually see a copy of the policy before transport or even before booking services, period.
Remove exterior components: This includes toolboxes, towing accessories and more. Anything that can be removed from the vehicle should be before transporting to ensure that everything in and on your vehicle returns to you safe and sound and in one piece.
For more information, visit the City of Irvine website.

With 2019 being a year of transformation – at European level, for EUROCITIES, and in cities themselves – we would like to encourage our members to share entries that reflect the work they are doing in transforming their cities.
Cities are undertaking physical transformation projects to meet challenges such as re-industrialisation, mobility or preserving their cultural heritage. But change also has an effect on society that needs to be reflected. Urban renewal affects not only the physical sphere but also the communities living these changes. Social innovation and urban renewal go hand in hand, a city transformation that builds inclusive and cohesive communities for the benefit of people.
The EUROCITIES awards recognise outstanding achievement by members in the delivery of local activities or practices that improve the quality of life of their citizens. The awards are judged in the context of the theme of the annual conference by an independent jury of five members.
We are looking for projects on redevelopment, e.g. of city districts, strategic projects on the conversion of industrial areas or brownfields, or the reuse of industrial buildings, where city departments, industry and other stakeholders work together on masterplans of transformation.
We are looking for projects that are changing the fabric of our cities, be this through facing up to the challenges of gentrification and providing affordable housing, integrating migrants into communities, or tackling inequalities, urban poverty and homelessness.
We are looking for projects that manage our cultural heritage by thoughtful repurposing of historic buildings for the community, or projects reaching out to residents in areas that are focus areas for tourists.

ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING 2001-2002
During the 2001-2002 Session the Society continued its recent successes in fulfilling its objectives, including organising a growing number of artistic and scientific events for members as detailed below. During the year the Society welcomed 15 new members, so that at the end of September 2002 the total number stood at 118 (an increase of 12 over the year). We urge members to make an effort to bring the Society and its activities to the attention of their potentially interested friends and colleagues.
Events for Members
Bangs and Flashes, 2 November 2001. Our now traditional pre-Bonfire Night occasion featuring academic chemists and pyrotechnicians Mike Hoyland and Vladimir Volkovitch with their explosive double-act again attracted an audience of a hundred or more, of all ages.
Going, Going, Gone, 16 November 2001. In association with the City Museum's exhibition on endangered species, the Society sponsored a lecture by Professor Kevin Gaston of the University of Sheffield, in which he illustrated the devastating effects of human beings on bird life in the islands of the Pacific.
Annual General Meeting, 7 December 2001. The one-hundred-and-eighty-first Annual General Meeting of the Society was held on Tuesday 7 December 2001 in University House. As a token of their appreciation, Council members made a presentation to Dr Richard Byrn on his retirement from Council. After the dinner, the Vice-President welcomed the evening's speaker, Nick Winterbotham, the then recently-appointed Head of Museums and Galleries for Leeds, who spoke on 'Making Sense of Museums' and considered the impact of museums on young visitors.
Side-lights on illustrated shell books, 27 February 2002 – a lecture by S. Peter Dance. This was another lecture arranged to coincide with an exhibition at the Leeds City Museum – an exhibition on molluscs organized by Adrian Norris, which followed his sponsorship by the Society. Mr Dance described the unexpected way in which the production of books describing shell collections led to the development of techniques of book illustration.

Scholarships, Prizes and Grants
In 2001-02 Emma Millington received the third and final tranche of the Society's University of Leeds Research Scholarship for her research undertaken in the School of Chemistry under the supervision of Professor Ronald Grigg FRS. The Arthur Chadwick Memorial Prize was awarded to Katherine Evans of the School of Biology and the Modern Languages Prize to Mr Adedayo Ajibade of the Department of East Asian Studies.
During 2001-02 individual grants were awarded by the Society to:
· The Lotherton Hall Schubert Residency
· The Rodley Nature Reserve Trust to cover the costs of a promotional leaflet
· The Buildings Books Trust towards the costs of a symposium entitled ' Nikolaus Pevsner and the Architecture of Leeds'
· Professor Graham Barber towards the costs of producing a video record of the restoration of the Schulze organ at St Bartholomew's Church, Armley
· Professor Neil Jackson towards the costs of a series of public master classes on recent Leeds buildings
· Professor Neil Jackson to support an exhibition of Students' project work at the RIBA Design Centre on Woodhouse Square, Leeds
· Dr Stephen Muir towards the costs of preparing a new critical edition for publication and performance (in Leeds) of Dvorak's 1874 opera Tvrde palice
· The Thoresby Society to assist in the establishment of a 'Local History Week'
· Karen Lynch in support of research on houses and gardens in Yorkshire
· Dr Rachael Unsworth towards the costs of cartography in connection with research into the development of the Leeds office market

· Dr Richard Howells to support a visit to Memphis in connection with research on Louis Le Prince
In November 2001 the Society published The Yorkshire Union of Artists, 1888-1922 by Dennis Child. The launch of the book coincided with an exhibition, 'Yorkshire's Finest – a Celebration of the Yorkshire Union of Artists 1888-1922', at Cartwright Hall, Bradford. There have been no other publications during the year, but work has proceeded on the preparation of The King's Mills, Leeds: The History and Archaeology of the Manorial Water-Powered Corn Mills, by Stuart Wrathmell of the West Yorkshire Archaeology Service, and John Goodchild, which is due to be published in December 2002.
A second edition of the Society's successful publication The Building Stones Heritage of Leeds (1996) is planned for 2006/07.
As well as publishing its own works, the Society's policy is to support, through grants, publications of other bodies or individuals which meet the Society's objectives of promoting studies which relate to aspects of Leeds and its region. These publications are then distributed to the Society's members. This year the Society's Council agreed to increase by 75% its subvention to the Leeds Museums and Galleries Review. Unfortunately, despite that support, no issue of that journal has been published this year. Copies of A Taste of Leeds by Peter Brears (1998) were however distributed to members in autumn 2001.
The Publications Committee has revised its page on the Society's website and has taken the opportunity to decrease the prices of several older publications. These have also been offered to members at an even greater discount. There is a link to the Society's site from 'Books for academics', a website www.booksforacademics.com which brings together small publishers of academic books. Several copies of the Society's publications have been sold through the web this year.
The prospect of a new Central Museum for Leeds
The present developments regarding the new museum look very promising. In the summer we heard that the City's Heritage Lottery bid had passed its first (and major) hurdle, and the City has been invited to submit detailed proposals for the next round. We have been told that the Lottery Commission commented explicitly on the level of popular support for the Museum, and on the joint document submitted by LPLS and the three other interested local societies. We therefore consider this venture to be successful, and that this document clearly served its major purpose. We are now engaged in a series of detailed discussions with the Head of Museums and Galleries, Nick Winterbotham, members of the Museum staff, and representatives of the other societies. We are discussing the way in which the Leeds Institute building will be adapted, and how the material will be displayed. We are especially eager to support and encourage the Museum to undertake some of the more large-scale and spectacular displays which have been proposed.

2018 Marco Lubiana Lucille Vineyard Pinot Noir
Marco Lubiana
Australia / Huon Valley / Marco Lubiana
Hand-picked and rigorously hand-sorted, with the majority (80% in 2018) destemmed to whole berries and tipped into stainless-steel open-top vat, on top of the whole-cluster portion. After a three-day cold soak, natural fermentation kicks off. The wine generally spends two to three weeks on skins, and is tasted every day until the tannins present perfectly. The skins are shovelled into a basket press and, following their very soft fermentation, pressed hard with the pressings mixed back with the free-run juice. The wine is racked and, about a week later, run by gravity to seasoned French barriques. Malolactic fermentation in spring. The wine is racked out of barrel the following March, paying careful attention so that it's crystal clear. Bottled unfined, unfiltered and with only 60ppm sulphur added through the process. Personally bottled by Marco.
A stunning debut Pinot from Marco Lubiana, from a single parcel in the Huon valley. Super fresh aromas of red flowers, red cherries and blood oranges are framed in gently spicy and earthy tones. Vosne-like aromatic purity. Incredibly silky palate with texture like velvet. The fresh red fruit cascades effortlessly and delivers such precise, long and plush cherry flavour that blooms out the finish. Star-quality pinot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
I'll say this in the introduction, rather than the note, but this tastes like Pinot Noir by way of Foillard Morgon.
Dark cherry, clod earth, spice, dried roses, a bit of lift. It's ripe and earthy, blood plum, dried herbs, distinct 'mineral' feel, rich silty tannin, an amaro bite dusted with cocoa, bright and rich at once with a stony cherry pip finish of excellent length. Character plus. Natty, but nice. It's a terrific expression of Pinot Noir.
About Marco Lubiana
We are family at CellarHand. So much of the growth of the portfolio – and the strength, character and fun of the enterprise – has come from deepening and extending roots that are planted firmly in existing, evolving friendships.
Such is the case with this new member of the band, Marco Lubiana. His parents Steve and Monique joined the CellarHand fold back in 2007. It was when the shift to biodynamic viticulture was about to take hold on their estate in Granton, a move that would make them the sole certified-organic grower on the island for some years. The Lubianas' blend of earthy, laidback farming and focused, principled determination impressed us then, and that pioneering sense of nature-first has propelled their wines – from sparkling through aromatics to the Burgundy varieties – firmly into Australia's top tier. And they're tied, crucially, to an acute sense of aesthetic, taste, structure and texture. In other words, wines grown by lovers of wine. And this is all hyper-relevant to Marco, who's cut from the same cloth but with, of course, a new sensibility and a different vineyard and pocket of Tasmania to express. His debut from the Lucillle Vineyard in southern Tasmania's Huon Valley is both a statement of intent, and a sign of exciting things to come.
Marco did a bachelor of Oenology and Viticulture at the University of Adelaide and graduated in 2018. During his time in Adelaide he worked for East End Cellars, fine-tuning his palate to quality wines of France and Italy. After uni, a strong affinity with Burgundy pushed him to find an internship in the Côte d'Or for the 2019 vintage. It was a phenomenal experience that further deepened his love of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the varieties on which his own project is built.
Like his parents, Marco's focus is in minute observation and intense nature-harnessing work in the vineyard. In the cellar he espouses the simplest, gentlest practices. Pumps are used sparingly for ferments and after that gravity takes preference. Cold, humid cellar temperatures during maturation allow for a slow evolution of the wine. Sulphur is a tool father Steve taught him to use wisely; Marco uses the least possible without losing freshness and age-worthiness in the wines.

The Government plans measures to stop the rise in food since January
The government spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, has confirmed this Friday that the anti-crisis package that the Government will approve in the last Council of Ministers of the year will have measures to contain the rise in food prices and will review the fuel discounts that start to end, next December 31. The Executive is working against the clock to be able to carry out these initiatives, which are intended to cushion the effects of the escalation of prices in the pocket of consumers.
Inflation, which has moderated four points since the maximum in July and is situated in Spain at the lowest level in the entire European Union, continues to be at 6.8% in November in the annual rate, according to the National Institute of Statistics , and in the case of food it remains shot up at 15.3%. In an interview with TVE, Rodríguez stressed that the Government continues to work for next Tuesday, December 27, and that these actions are pending completion.
As the First Vice President and Minister of Economic Affairs, Nadia Calviño, has already pointed out, in the case of the bonus of 20 cents per liter of fuel, it is expected that it will no longer be generalized and that it can only be accessed by the same specific sectors. Specifically, the Executive is studying how it can modify it so that the sectors most directly affected by the increase in fuel prices, such as carriers, continue to benefit from it.
Regarding the shopping basket, the speaker also confirmed that in the new aid package to alleviate the economic and social consequences caused by the war in Ukraine that will be approved by the Council of Ministers there will be measures to curb the rise in the price of food. Europa Press advanced on Thursday that a VAT reduction that affects certain foods, such as fish, could be being considered to reduce it from 10 to 4%.
"There is a problem that we are all observing these days, preparing dinners and meals with our families and approaching supermarkets. We see that, indeed, the shopping and food basket is rising and that may have problems for the economies relatives", recognized Rodríguez. For this reason, he added, the Government is preparing concrete actions that will be detailed on Tuesday and that it has not wanted to reveal as they have not yet been completed.
He has stressed, however, the importance of the agriculture and livestock sector and has ensured that it has a clear presence in the government action to "protect this primary sector for which we have also worked over the years to guarantee at least the cost of production by the Food Chain Law".
It has confirmed that the third anti-crisis package will approve measures to help deal with the effects of the war and that they will extend or replace those currently in force and whose validity ends on December 31. Asked if there will be a referendum in Catalonia, she stated that "of course not" and noted that the Constitution does not allow it, while pointing out that the Government can boast of having always complied with the law and the Magna Carta.

Cosmic Slop #57: Justin Bieber fans have paid $2,000 to meet cardboard
By Shaun Ponsonby on	 31st March 2016 Opinion
Bell end – pic from Facebook
Getintothis' Shaun Ponsonby vents at Justin Bieber for replacing himself with a cardboard cut-out for fans who paid $2,000 for a Meet and Greet.
I can almost definitely confirm without fear of contradiction that I am one of the most awkward people you could ever meet. I find most kinds of social situations are bemusing and irritable. Even when I am smiling and nodding at people in a relatively calm and collected manner, on the inside I'm praying for death – or at the very least an excuse to leave.
As a result, I have concocted several coping techniques. The first is one – which even I think is weird – is that I pretend I am Van Halen front man David Lee Roth. By this, I mean I adopt some of his persona; kind of charming, extroverted, flamboyant, a bit all over the place and a few pre-prepared zingers on regular topics of conversation (e.g. health, fitness or diet talk usually have me saying; "I used to jog, but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass", or on music something like; "Music is like relationships – I'm constantly baffled at other people's choices" etc). But this only gets you so far and only works in short periods of time. Eventually even I don't want to hang out with me.
Another is to adopt a hyperbolic rendering of my Cosmic Slop persona; a defence mechanism that sees me act as a deliberately awkward, vaguely contrarian and slightly irreverent rambling mess who is barely able to finish a coherent sandwich. The idea is that this is supposed to be an endearing dosage of nervous energy, but I think in reality it just repulses people.
To be honest, neither of these techniques are particularly helpful. I don't know why I bother. It takes up an alarming amount of energy when I could essentially just sit in a corner and drink heavily with my iPod until I am finally able to leave.
I invite Justin Bieber to at least try them out though. This week he cancelled all of the "Meet & Greets" fans had paid for via a lengthy and grammatically challenged Instagram post;
Incidentally, I don't mean to keep covering Justin Bieber here, but he has just become so bloody difficult to ignore. Like the omnipresent smell of sweaty feet.
This message is all over the show. What a way to give bad news. "Love u [sic] guys…I'm going to be cancelling[sic] my meet and greets." That's pretty abrupt. Imagine if a doctor called you and said "You have a nice voice…your mum's dead."
"I enjoy meeting such incredible people but I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people's spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy". Let's play a game; how many contradictions can you spot in that one sentence? Also, it sounds like he's talking about meeting an inspirational figure like Mandela or something, as opposed to 12 year old fangirls. If he feels inferior after meeting such "incredible" twitter stalkers, then it probably says a lot about him as a human being. If he likes making people happy, but doing so makes him depressed, he should probably seek help immediately. That amount of inner turmoil is bound to combust sooner or later.
Read every single past edition of Cosmic Slop before the apocalypse happens and it's too late.
"The pressure of meeting people's expectations of what I'm supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders." What? He finds it hard to be reasonably pleasant to fans for 20 minutes?
But I don't want to be all Chris Brown* about this. If it is leading him to depression, he should absolutely stop doing it. It is easy to mock (as I have just proven), but fair enough, right?
Except it isn't fair enough, because it has emerged that fans (or rather their parents) who paid $2,000 to get their photo taken with the obnoxious twerp are not allowed to claim a refund for the now non-existent Meet and Greet without also forfeiting their ticket for the show.
So how did they compensate those fans?

Yup…that's a young Justin Bieber fan – or a "Belieber", as idiots refer to them – who has paid $2,000 to get their photograph taken with a cardboard cut-out of Justin Bieber. You could make your own cardboard cut-out of Justin Bieber for far less than $2,000. It would hark back to Kathy Bates in Misery, but you could do it.
Though, speaking objectively, the inanimate cardboard Bieber probably has about as much personality as the real Bieber, meaning the experience will be about the same. But what kind of snivelling wretch charges kids $2,000 to meet them for a couple of minutes and then refuses to refund the money when he has decided he can't be arsed showing up? Have these kids not suffered enough being Justin Bieber fans?
In contrast, I'd like to point out that when Motown legend Martha Reeves played Liverpool last summer, she sat at the side of the stage following the performance and met every single member of the audience who wished to.
Now the lack of refund is unlikely down to Bieber, it is more likely the promoters who made that decision. I did see one report that claimed he was "angry" about the decision. But on the other hand, I am yet to see him comment publicly on it. Does it not strike him as hypocritical to go on about loving "u guys" and being full of "spiritual energy" if he is employing a team of greedy swines in the process? Talking bollocks means nothing, actions speak louder than words.
Personally, I think the idea of pop and rock stars charging thousands to meet them for three minutes is a total dick move in itself. It is the first clue that they think they are above non-famous plebs like you and I, even for my heroes who do it. If Christ himself returned for judgement day and charged me $2,000 to say "Hi" and get a quick snap for my Facebook profile picture, I'd tell him to get fucked.
But these kids have paid for a Meet and Greet. Whoever is running this shit, give them a Meet and Greet, or give them their $2,000 back.
*If you're not aware of the Chris Brown reference, he's continued his mission to become the world's most unlikable arsehole by mocking Kehlani after her suicide attempt.
Radio X listeners have picked Wonderwall as the greatest ever British song. Obviously that's bollocks, but what do you expect from a station whose on air talent include Johnny Vaughan, Chris Moyles, Ricky Wilson and Vernon Kay. #DeathToLadRock
In a rare moment of sincerity, as someone who thinks he's funny but probably isn't, I'd like to encourage people who didn't know who Garry Shandling was before his death to check out It's Garry Shandling's Show and especially The Larry Sanders Show. Without them we wouldn't have; Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, The Thick of It, Veep, 30 Rock, Alan Partridge, The Office, Extras, Jon Stewart on the Daily Show, Kumars, Lead Balloon, Entourage, HBO making viable television.
