I was on a hiatus for the longest time & I truly felt bad for not writing often in this humble blog of mine. Work has pretty much taken a 80% of my time & energy each day. Whatever left is for the house chores & spending little time with my hubby.
I've been deprived of hobbies & includes blogging. I think I'm starting to forget how to bake as well, considering the seriously lacked of time I had for practice. What a pity when I actually spent a good sum of money to improve my baking skills.
So why 24 hours doesn't seem enough for me? I chose to climb the corporate ladder these past 2 years, sort of. As much as I hate to admit, I was hungry for a promotion & a pay raise. In my mind, the pay raise means more money/savings for my future business.
I got my promotion but the raise was average. It was probably fair because I was fairly junior as a senior managerial post. What's next? I'm not sure if I want to continue to be part of corporate anymore considering the long working hours & mismatched in business mindset between myself & the company at large.
Perhaps a new beginning is waiting for me next year.
With the hype circling around the most anticipated summer movie Crazy Rich Asians, I have refrained myself from reading the book nor owning one for fear of disappointment that the movie can't deliver up to the book's expectation. I went into the theatre hall without any expectation; purely in for the entertainment.
Ten years ago, I won tickets to watch Mamma Mia movie & I brought Mum along as my movie date. I even did a short blog about it here. A decade later, the movie studio has decided to do a sequel after the success of the first movie. Titled Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, the story focuses more on Sophie's story about wanting to fulfil her mother, Donna Sheridan's dream.
It's the Avengers we all have been waiting for; a culmination of 10 years of Marvel movies leading up to the final battle with the ultimate villain, Thanos. The launch date was timely on the last week of April followed by a long holiday weekend to Labour's Day. I was excited, so is my hubby & we straight away hit the purchase button on the cinema website for the slot on April 30 coinciding with our annual leave too.
What's the final verdict? Let's find out.
Sighs...where do I begin? We all know Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been pretty busy lately, with movies released back to back - from Jumanji last year to the latest Rampage this month, and Skyscraper slated for release some time in June.
Hugh Jackman in a musical is not new news; his earlier gigs were mostly theatrical/musical based productions before his breakthrough role as Wolverine in Hollywood. Somehow, seeing him headlining The Greatest Showman evokes a strange feeling within me. I'm still not ready for this man putting his iconic comic hero behind him & moving on (or should I say, moving back) to what he does best - singing & dancing.
Thor: Ragnarok marks the end of the Thor trilogy, as Marvel Cinematic Universe inches closer to the long-awaited Avengers: Infinity War. This movie comes after Guardians of the Galaxy 2 which was released earlier this year, as part of Marvel Studios' movie lineup in 2017.
Not surprisingly, Ragnarok adopted Guardians of the Galaxy's theme famous for its retro soundtracks & psychedelic colour palettes - a tribute to the 70s & 80s. I thought it was an interesting & good move, keeping the mood consistent for a good crossover.
So, how did Ragnarok fare?

Whitman Podcasters Earn Honors From NPR
June 22, 2019 / peter sloggatt
Students Umema Siddiqui Alina Naseer Efrain Citle-Palestino and Benjamin Joseph were recognized by NPR radio's Student Podcast Challenge for their submission "Between Two Worlds."
By Sophia Ricco
sricco@longislandergroup.com
A group of podcasters from Walt Whitman High School earned recognition from National Public Radio (NPR) in a nationwide podcast challenge.
"Between Two Worlds," produced by members of Whitman's podcast club The WHIT, was awarded an honorable mention in NPR's Student Podcast Challenge. The podcast finds commonality in the very different experiences of the three students from diverse backgrounds.
Junior Alina Naseer was inspired by her own life with her parents – immigrants from the Dominican Republic and Pakistan – to formulate the podcast's topic.
"I thought about my upbringing and how I had to blend the expectations of my parents with being raised in a new country that's different from their upbringing," Naseer said.
She enlisted the help of Umema Siddiqui, a junior whose parents came from Pakistan, and Efrain Citle-Palestino, a senior who immigrated from Mexico with his family.
"We all have different backgrounds but we found common ground," Naseer said. "Even though we're diverse our families have always pushed us to focus on education and family values."
Citle-Palestino shared the pressure he felt from his family to pursue education and get into a good college. He said he often felt they were depending on him to succeed.
Naseer and Siddiqui talked about the expectation and difficulty to pray five times a day while attending school.
"Growing up I kinda experienced a culture clash in some ways," Naseer said. "Whether it be religion food or just tradition."
"The title 'Between Two Worlds' reflects the three of us on the panel because we felt between the worlds of our parents immigrating here and our reality living on Long Island," Naseer said. "We had to take their expectations and mold them into something that was attainable for us."
In its first year, the WHIT has established itself as an outlet for student voices through political podcasts and cooking videos.
"The club is student-run so we have free rein to pick the topics we want to discuss, to choose a panel and the questions," Naseer said. "Whatever we're passionate about we just run with."
Benjamin Joseph played a major part in shaping its final form, making the podcast sound professional and fit in the 10-minute requirement.
"It was pretty daunting… But now I've become more comfortable and candid," Naseer said. "It's less-rehearsed and more natural now that we've been doing it a while."
"It's really refreshing to be given that opportunity to just express ourselves freely without really having to worry about the influence of teachers or others at school," Naseer said.
Naseer looks forward to another year with The WHIT and communicating about important issues. She said the club has sparked an interest in her with journalism writing and reporting that she hopes to pursue.

Stand Up Now for David Coppedge's Right to Speak about Intelligent Design!
Robert Crowther
Urgent Action Required: Contact the leaders of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab and demand they make things right.
According to a discrimination lawsuit filed in California Superior Court, supervisors at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) illegally harassed, demoted and retaliated against computer systems administrator David Coppedge without warning after he occasionally loaned pro-intelligent design science videos to some of his colleagues. Coppedge's actions were deemed inappropriate even though his colleagues were apparently allowed free rein to attack intelligent design in the workplace. After Coppedge filed his discrimination lawsuit, his position was suspiciously terminated by JPL in January 2011. On Nov. 18, 2011, a judge ruled that Coppedge's case presented legitimate issues of fact and law and ordered that the case move forward to a jury trial. Rather than settle the case, the Jet Propulsion Lab has continued to wage legal war on David Coppedge–wasting precious taxpayer dollars in the process.
Your phone calls and emails are urgently needed to get NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab to stop its discrimination against employees who think there is scientific evidence of intelligent design. Contact these JPL leaders right now and ask them to settle the Coppedge lawsuit and stop discriminating against employees who believe the universe was intelligently designed:
Dr. Charles Elachi, Director of JPL
Email address: charles.elachi@jpl.nasa.gov
Dr. Jean-Lou Chameau, President of Cal Tech [Cal Tech operates JPL under a contract with NASA]
Email address: chameau@caltech.edu
Be respectful in your message, but indicate that as a taxpayer who ultimately pays for the budget of JPL, you think it's wrong to use taxpayer resources to promote discrimination against intelligent design.

Blumennesselgewächse (Loasaceae) sind eine Familie in der Ordnung der Hartriegelartigen (Cornales).

Den Namen Blumennesselgewächse tragen sie zu Recht, weil zum einen viele Arten schöne Blüten haben, zum anderen aber alle Arten meist zahlreich vorhandene, sehr vielgestaltige und meist starre Haare besitzen, die bei vielen Arten als sehr unangenehme Brennhaare ausgebildet sind. Die Brennhaare haben meist eine Verwendung als Zierpflanze, der meist einjährig kultivierten Arten, in Gärten und Parks verhindert.

Beschreibung

Vegetative Merkmale
Die Arten der Familie sind einjährige oder ausdauernde, niederliegende oder aufrechtwachsende meist krautige Pflanzen, gelegentlich verholzende Pflanzen: Sträucher oder kleine Bäume, selten grundständige Rosetten, Kletterpflanzen oder Lianen. Sie erreichen Wuchshöhen von 5 Zentimetern bis zu 10 Metern.

Die meistens wechselständig und schraubig angeordneten Laubblätter sind meist in Blattstiel und Blattspreite gegliedert. Die Blattspreiten sind meist einfach oder selten zusammengesetzt. Nebenblätter fehlen.

Generative Merkmale
Die immer zwittrigen Blüten sind radiärsymmetrisch und meist fünfzählig (vier- bis siebenzählig) mit doppelter Blütenhülle. Die meist fünf haltbaren Kelchblätter sind frei. Es sind meist fünf Kronblätter vorhanden. In den oft kahnförmigen Kronblättern befindet sich jeweils ein Büschel von Staubblättern. Die Staubblätter krümmen sich nacheinander auf und der Pollen wird explosionsartig verteilt. Vor diesen Staubblattbüscheln liegen außerordentlich kompliziert gebaute und auffällig gefärbte Gebilde. Es handelt sich hierbei um die nektarproduzierenden Organe der Blüten, sogenannte Nektarien; diese sind aus der Verwachsung von sterilen Staubblättern (Staminodien) entstanden. Je nach Gattung sind jeweils verschieden viele Staminodien in die Bildung eines solchen Nektariums einbezogen. Die Zahl der Staubblätter ist in den Taxa unterschiedlich: selten fünf, meist 50 bis 100. Meist fünf (ein oder drei bis sieben) Fruchtblätter sind zu einem mehr oder weniger oberständigen (im Gegensatz zu anderen Familien der Ordnung) Fruchtknoten verwachsen (synkarp).

Die Kapselfrüchte können keulig bis kugelig sein, vielfach sind sie in sich verdreht.

Ökologie
Die Bestäubung erfolgt meist durch Insekten. Auch in Mitteleuropa ziehen sie viele Schwebfliegen und Bienen an. Bei einer Loasa-Art wurde im nördlichen Argentinien eine Bestäubung durch Feldmäuse beobachtet.

Standorte
Die Arten der Familie Loasaceae wachsen in vollkommen unterschiedlichen Lebensräumen: von der extrem trockenen Atacama-Wüste in Südperu und Nordchile bis zu den sehr feuchten Nebelwäldern des nordwestlichen Kolumbien.

Systematik und Verbreitung

Die Familie Loasaceae ist von Nordamerika über Mexiko und Zentral- bis Südamerika verbreitet und kommt auf der westlichen Arabischen Halbinsel, auf den Kapverden, in Afrika und auf pazifischen Inseln vor. Das Diversitätszentrum der Familie ist die Neotropis; dort kommen sie von Kalifornien bis Patagonien vor, besonders in Peru, Chile und Mexiko. Die Gattung Kissenia findet sich in Afrika und Arabien, Plakothira in Polynesien.

Die Familie der Blumennesselgewächse (Loasaceae) wird in vier Unterfamilien gegliedert und enthält etwa zwanzig Gattungen mit etwa 350 Arten:

Global Survey from Dolby Reveals New Trends in Home Entertainment Consumption and Purchasing
Consumers seek out better audiovisual experiences and new ways of interacting with friends and family. Globally, 87% of people who connected over entertainment virtually did so for the first time ever in the last six months.
Dolby Laboratories, Inc.a leader in immersive entertainment experiences, released findings from a new global survey illustrating a significant shift in consumer entertainment behavior. Findings include a strong intent from consumers to pay more for enhanced picture or sound quality, new ways of interacting with friends and family while enjoying entertainment, and insights that people are investing more in their home entertainment. From this survey, it remains clear that consumers continue to want, demand, and are willing to spend more on enhanced experiences, now more than ever.
"Despite all of the challenges of this past year, this study has illustrated the power of entertainment in bringing us together with those that are most important to us," said John Couling, SVP Commercial Partnerships at Dolby Laboratories. "We take great pride in creating more immersive experiences through our technologies and see the significant growth of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos as proof that consumers are seeking these experiences as well."
The survey, in partnership with Wakefield Research, polled 5,000 respondents from China, France, India, and the U.S. – examining consumption behavior, device buying decisions, and new habits being formed in the wake of this unprecedented year. With more time than ever before to watch and engage with entertainment, consumers are accelerating their interest in immersive content and new experiences.
The Power of Entertainment as a Shared Experience
One thing that remains clear during this year – the importance of human connection. Given the limitations of in-person experiences, society has shifted to new, virtual-first ways of connecting with friends and family when watching entertainment.
86% of global respondents connected with family and friends virtually while enjoying entertainment together over the last six months. This included activities like talking on the phone while watching the same content (45% of global respondents), texting while watching the same content (44%), video chatting while watching the same content (43%), as well as engaging in live chats while watching streaming videos (41%).
For a significant majority of people, within the last six months was the first time they have ever participated in virtual shared experiences while enjoying entertainment - with 87% of respondents noting this was their first time.
Consumers Desire Better Audiovisual Experiences and are Willing to Pay
Led by Gen Z and Millennials, consumers are spending more than ever on entertainment, which is fueled by the desire for human connection. People are also willing to spend more on premium subscriptions in order to receive a better quality experience.
Consumer spending on content has increased in the last six months and is led by Gen Z and Millennials globally, with Millennials in the U.S. increasing spending by an average of 38%.
Most global consumers have increased how much they spent on content since the start of the year, including 55% in France, 72% in the US, 94% in China, and 97% in India.
With this increase in spending, consumers are willing to pay more for a premium subscription to receive enhanced audiovisual experiences with 77% of total respondents indicating they would pay more for better picture or sound quality because it impacts how they connect with content.
In fact, 64% of respondents stated they had upgraded at least one streaming service to a premium subscription within the past six months.
Homes Are About to Get an Upgrade
Consumer investment in better quality experiences doesn't stop at content, with respondents in all countries indicating that they plan to purchase new devices in the next six months to upgrade their entertainment viewing experience. While plans to upgrade traditional home entertainment devices remain strong, consumers are also planning to upgrade their mobile viewing experience which is fueled by a majority of consumers who used their smartphone, tablet, or PC as their primary device for consuming entertainment over the past few months.
82% of respondents plan to purchase a new device to upgrade their entertainment viewing experience in the next six months.
64% plan to purchase a device specifically to upgrade their living room entertainment experience (including a new TV, soundbar, home theater speakers, receiver, or streaming device).
Millennials are the most likely to make a living room upgrade at 73%, compared to 68% of Gen Xers, 58% of Gen Zers, and 50% of Boomers.
More than 4 in 5 (81%) of those who have paid to upgrade their streaming services to premium also plan to improve their living room entertainment experience.
While we have more devices than ever, television still plays a huge role – particularly with older generations. This is true in every market, but particularly in the U.S., where 65% of Boomers say that television is their primary entertainment device; 52% of French Boomers say the same.
60% of total respondents used their smartphone, tablet, or PC as their primary device for entertainment over the past six months and 44% of total respondents indicated that they plan to upgrade their mobile device in the next six months to improve their viewing experience.
As this survey shows, the drive for better experiences doesn't stop at devices. Content adoption is also growing rapidly, completing the ecosystem that we have been building through global partnerships with leading streaming services that continue to release their top shows and films in Dolby technology every month.
"Ultimately, we expect the desire for more human connection to continue in the future and immersive experiences can help fulfill this demand," added John Couling, SVP Commercial Partnerships at Dolby Laboratories. "Just as entertainment drives cultural conversation, that conversation drives connection across the globe, and we are seeing connections grow stronger every day through elevated entertainment experiences."

Okay, everyone, we can stop panicking. Hit-Boy and Ye, aka Kanye West, are no longer "beefing" with each other.
The two exceptional Hip-Hop producers are back on good terms coming together on the lowkey Pete Davidson diss track "Eazy" featuring chronic name-dropper The Game.
Nas' favorite producer confirmed he joined the Ye and his Red Wing boots in the studio via Instagram with the simple comment, "Me and ye back working." Hit-Boy also shared images of both of them doing what they do best in the lab with a screenshot of a fan's tweet stating, "if Ye & Hit-Boy moving like it's 2012, we definitely in for some HEAT."
Now, as to why Hit-Boy and Ye were beefing? He revealed West was not happy about him collaborating with Beyoncé. "I haven't been a fan of Kanye on a personal/ human level since he told me face to face he stopped picking my beats because I worked with Beyoncé," he wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post. "This is after I produced n*ggas in paris, clique, and a myriad of other songs / projects for him and his label GOOD Music in the 2 years I was signed with them."
Kim Kardahian's ex responded to Hit-Boy's claims saying, ""I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIM PRODUCING FOR BEYONCÉ … I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FACT HE WAS SIGNED TO ME AND I DIDN'T KNOW BUT I KNEW JAY AND BEYONCÉ AND HIT-BOY … JUST FOR CLARITY."
Whatever that means.
We guess nature is healing in the Hip-Hop community, don't get it twisted; Mr. West is still moving real funny.

Pocket Size Theatre | Whats opening in 2019
There's a lot of things going on next year in the world of theatre; revivals of much loved shows, Broadway transfers, UK transfers, returns of shows previously in London, new writing and so much more! So here's our guide to the theatrical highlights of 2019! Get your diaries out...
Aspects of Love | Southwark Playhouse | 7th January
Six the Musical | Arts Theatre | Opens 16th January
What is closing in the West End in January?
Kinky Boots | Final Performance on the 12th January
After almost 3 and a half years in London's West End, Kinky Boots closes its doors at the Adelphi Theatre on the 12th January to make way for the Broadway transfer of Waitress. But do not fear, Kinky Boots is currently strutting around the UK on tour so its not saying goodbye just yet!
Bat Out of Hell | Final Performance on the 5th January
After runs at the Manchester Opera House, the London Coliseum, Toronto and finally the West Ends Dominion Theatre, Bat Out of Hell will rock out for the last time on the 5th January. To make way for what I hear you ask? Well you'll have to wait and see.
The Inheritance | Final Performance on the 19th January
Playing a sold out run at the Young Vic earlier this year, this play has won the hearts of the theatre going public and has been monumental for gay writing. The closure of this play is to make room for the production of All About Eve before the much waited Broadway transfer of Dear Evan Hanson.
Chicago | Final Performance on the 5th January
Making this the fourth West End venue the musical has played (After the Adelphi, the Cambridge and the Garrick) we say goodbye to the musical again on the 5th January at the Phoenix Theatre to make way for the Broadway transfer of Come From Away.
Dreamgirls | Final Performance on the 12th January
After over two years in the West End, the Dreamgirls will be saying goodbye on the 12th January. There will be a soul spaced hole in the West End after its closure but will be replaced by the long over due production of 9 to 5. Turns out, Dreamgirls do leave you!
42nd Street | Final Performance on the 5th January
Just shy of two full years in one of the West Ends biggest houses, this production of 42nd Street will close on the 5th January to make way for some much needed refurbishment in the Theatre. What will replace it? Well, we here it might get a little colder in there! Lets hope they install some central heating.
Snow White | Final Performance on the 13th January
Now this show hasn't even opened yet, but we are so pumped to get into the Christmas mood so had to include this! Opening on the 12th December with a star cast, this show closes almost exactly a month later on the 13th January at the London Palladium.
10 Most Iconic Mothers in Musical Theatre | Mothers Day Special
Mamma Rose in Gypsy
Donna in Mamma Mia
Diana in Next to Normal
10 Broadway shows that need to come over to the West End!
This production has only recently opened on Broadway, its run has only spanned over a few months but the rumours are already spreading about possible international productions, London being one of them! We love the film and the new cast recording is one of our most played albums so we can not wait to see this one!
A London production of Waitress is allegedly in the works to open next year, we are a huge fan of the music and hope to see it open soon! Who could star in the lead role though? We asked our readers and here are some of the top suggestions!
